WORK SESSION
15. HEART Pilot Program: Implementation Updates Regarding the Hayward Evaluation and Response Team Program WS 23-045
Staff report submitted by Acting Chief of Police Matthews, dated December 5, 2023, was filed.
City Manager McAdoo introduced Community Services Division Manager Cole-Bloom who provided a synopsis of the staff report.
Mayor Salinas opened the public comment section at 9:41 p.m.
The following individuals expressed support for the Hayward Evaluation and Response Team (HEART) program.
Ro Aguilar suggested increasing the number of places, such as hotels and motels, where members of the unhoused population could get services.
TI, Hayward Concerned Citizens member, suggested sharing more data about the Case Management and Mental Health Linkages Team (LINK) program and wondered if HEART was a gateway for individuals to have a guaranteed slot in Hayward shelters.
Tom Ferreira was concerned Hayward Police Department positions were used to fund part of the program and wondered where future funding would come from.
Mayor Salinas closed the public comment section at 9:47 p.m.
In response to questions raised by public members, staff indicated that permanent long-term funding solutions and options for the upcoming budget would be evaluated; homeless individuals still must meet eligibility requirements to be admitted at shelters; and hotel-motel projects required substantial operating contributions and instead staff pursued a scatter-site model which was smaller scale and more affordable.
Members of the City Council thanked City, Hayward Police Department & Hayward Fire Department staff for their work, community partners, and state legislators for their continued support of the program.
In response to questions posed by members of the City Council, City staff clarified the following points: the online HEART resource information could be found at www.hayward- ca.gov/HEART; the Vulnerable Needs Registry was a work in progress and the unmet needs list and vulnerable populations list would be well incorporated into the ESO electronic health record platform; long-term funding would be required to help every unsheltered individual; the Navigation Center allows individuals meeting eligibility requirements to bring their pets with them and works in coordination with Animal Services; Council provided funding through ARPA allocations for a motel voucher program which was used for individuals in need of temporary shelter and waitlisted for the Navigation Center; there is ongoing data analysis to understand the current need for the HEART program; and there is a process for admitting eligible unhoused individuals into the Navigation Center or placing them on a waitlist and assessing the need for medical control and treatment.
Council Member Syrop reiterated the goal of the program was to make the reallocation of funds to sustain the HEART program permanent, supported moving away from pilot to a permanent project, and added the program is of benefit to the community and should be essential in the budget and not be at risk of being chronically underfunded.
Council Member Goldstein favored the permanent funding of the HEART program and noted that data integration was important to streamline operations and report on successes.
Council Member Andrews suggested exploring how to formally make the HEART program available 24 hours to meet the need for mental health services and for Alameda County to identity locations to make appropriate referrals; and favored adding funds to the budget for the motel voucher program to provide temporary shelter until a permanent funding source becomes available.
Council Member Bonilla Jr. supported expanding the HEART program beyond Monday through Friday, encouraged being deliberate when expanding the program, and supported prioritizing more sustainable ongoing funding when having a budget discussion to support the community resource.
Council Member Roche was interested in looking at long-term models and what could be done to expand hours for the HEART program.
Council Member Zermeño favored a 24/7 program, and suggested working with state representatives and county partners to find more stable funding, Mayor Salinas stated that the HEART program reflected an interdepartmental effort which involved Fire, Police, the Youth and Family Services Bureau, and social workers.

Acting Police Chief Matthews provided a synopsis of the staff report.
In response to questions posed by members of the City Council, Acting Police Chief Matthews clarified the following points: the proposed modifications to the ordinance were specific to spectators and not individuals engaging in reckless driving; and cases of curious bystanders would be handled on a case-by-case basis and by having conversations with officers.
There being no public comments, Mayor Salinas opened and closed the public hearing at 10:20 p.m.
Council Member Zermeño noted the proposed ordinance modifications strengthened the desire to improve safety for residents; and made a motion to move the item.
Council Member Goldstein seconded the motion.
Council Member Syrop noted he would be supporting the motion, clarified his position that sideshows do not belong in residential neighborhoods, and maintained that sideshows were cultural events that should be regulated and respected as they brought tourists to Hayward and could boost the local economy.
Mayor Salinas shared an incident about a man who had been shot during a sideshow incident on Fourth of July while he was on his way to buy a sandwich, underscored that the proposed ordinance was substantive to neighborhoods, and noted he would be supporting the motion.
It was moved by Council Member Zermeño, seconded by Council Member Goldstein, and carried by the following roll call vote, to approve the introduction of the ordinance.

Council Member Bonilla Jr. inquired about the next steps in the process of public and Council comments related to the cease-fire in Gaza. City Manager McAdoo and City Attorney Lawson stated the mechanism to provide direction would be via a Council referral to modify the Handbook/1977 resolution which prohibits Council from taking policies on federal and international affairs.
Council Member Syrop indicated he was under the incorrect impression that Council members could make a motion to agendize an item, noting this process had been superseded by Council referrals.
Mayor Salinas thanked staff and all those involved in the Light Up the Season event, underscoring the past weekend was a great way to kick off the holidays in downtown Hayward.
