Members of the City Council expressed general support for the Mayor to form an ad hoc committee for the purpose of the following: evaluate the number of members for the KHCGTF and Community Services Commission (CSC) taking into account quorum attainment and more efficient meetings; evaluate frequency of cleanups to optimize engagement while preserving impactful community events such as Earth Day ; review mission statements to ensure they are in alignment with Council’s expectations and priorities to ensure commissions are focused and effective; consider how the CSC can focus its attention on community issues, such as the overrepresentation of the black community in homelessness; review the role of Hayward Youth Commission (HYC) representatives on the KHCGTF and HYC interactions with the Hayward Local Agencies Committee (HLAC); consider how the Library Commission and CSC can work together in addressing neighborhood and equity issues at the Weekes Branch; explore the CSC’s purview beyond the community funding process to assist with a variety of community services aligned with their scope of service; review the Library Commission's current function; consider reducing the frequency of Library Commission meetings or merging it with another commission to increase efficiency and reduce staff load; review functions and configurations of City commissions; reassess the scope, function, and size of City commissions; consider a code of conduct for commissioners, highlighting concerns about inappropriate behavior on social media that negatively impacts the Council's relationship with the community; It was also recommended to seek input from KHCGTF and CSC members about reducing the number of members; it was emphasized that minimal reduction could maintain geographic representation while not impacting meeting quorum; it was acknowledged the CSC expanded its mission beyond its original scope, contributing to significant community improvements; it was noted a preference to wait until the work session on a public art fee is held before considering removing arts and music funding from the funding process; it was noted the need for the CSC to focus on its core responsibilities rather than expanding into broader community advocacy roles traditionally held by other organizations; and commissioners were encouraged to participate in public comment independently of their commission’s collective voice, ensuring their personal perspectives are heard.
Council Member Andrews, also the Council liaison to the KHCGTF, supported the KHCGTF in their preference for maintaining a larg er number of members in the KHCGTF, suggesting a minimum of 15 to 20 members due to the physical nature of their cleanup activities.
There was consensus to pause this year’s recruitment for KHCGTF and CSC and wait to receive the recommendation from the ad hoc committee in terms of member size.

Assistant to City Manager Thomas provided a synopsis of the staff report.
There being no public comment, Mayor Salinas opened and closed public comment at 9:34 p.m.
Discussion ensued among members of the City Council and City staff about the funding gap for Phase II (core and shell & first floor spaces) of the Stack Center project; the Governance Group comprising the City, Alameda County and Hayward Area Recreation and Park District (HARD); and the insufficient fundraising capacity within project partners to raise donations of $100,000.

Senior Assistant City Attorney Vigilia provided a synopsis of the staff report.
There being no comments by members of the Council, Mayor Salinas opened the public hearing at 10:03 p.m.
Jack Wu, the plaintiff in a lawsuit against the City of Hayward over district elections, criticized the City for delaying the implementation of district elections which he argued suppresses Asian representation in Hayward; asserted that the City's proposed resolution to delay districting until 2026 serves the interests of incumbents rather than the community; and urged the Council to adopt a resolution for implementing district elections by November 2024 or, failing that, to establish an independent redistricting commission.
Sara Lamnin commended the Council's commitment to community engagement; hoped the City would be able to apply for the additional 90-day extension; suggested utilizing established best practices and tools like AC Transit's process and the State of California's community of interest maps for the redistricting process; encouraged collaboration with the school district and local organizations to ensure inclusive and informed community participation; and urged forming a group from City commissions to meet before and after the maps are created to provide independent guidance for the map creation.
Scott Rafferty highlighted Hayward as the largest city in California yet to transition to district elections, stressed the importance of implementing district elections in a presidential election year to maximize minority voter turnout; drew on his experiences with similar initiatives in other cities; and noted it was feasible for the City to transition in 2024.
Mary Anne Faue expressed concerns about transitioning from at -large to district -based elections in Hayward, fearing that such a change could disrupt the sense of unity and community collaboration that has characterized the City's governance.
Mayor Salinas closed the public hearing at 10:12 p.m.
Council Member Roche offered a motion to move the item hoping for as inclusive of process as possible taking into consideration communities of interest and providing interpretation services at public hearings.
Council Member Syrop seconded the motion noting the condensed timeline was not ideal but stressed the importance of community input to ensure the transition is done correctly and was concerned about staff workload hoping leverage of community partners to help with the process.
Council Member Andrews echoed the comments made by members of the Council , acknowledged Mary Anne Faue’s comments, and hoped for continued camaraderie among her 10 | A p r i l 16 , 202 4
colleagues.
Council Member Goldstein noted given time constraints with deadlines given by the Alameda County Registrar of Voters, and while there was a desire to comply with the law, he noted the City might not be able to transition until 2026.
Council Member Zermeño urged for the process to be a community-centered process.
Mayor Salinas did not think this was what the framers of the California Voting Rights Act had in mind, noting the City was forced to engage in the process.
It was moved by Council Member Roche, seconded by Council Member Syrop, and carried by the following roll call vote, to adopt the resolution.

SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Amend and Extend an Agreement with the Alameda County Probation Department to Provide Delinquency Prevention Network Services and to Accept and Appropriate $233,441 from Alameda County to Fund the Extension
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council: (1) adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to extend an agreement with the Alameda County Probation Department through December 31, 2024, to provide Delinquency Prevention Network services and; (2) accepts and appropriates $233,441 from Alameda County to fund the extension.
SUMMARY
Since the 1970s, the Youth and Family Services Bureau (YFSB) has had contracts with the Alameda County Probation Department to provide mental health services to youth who are justice system- involved or at elevated risk of system involvement. In 2019, the City was awarded a three-year contract to begin providing additional services beyond mental health counseling and implemented new Diversion, Life Skills, and Restorative Justice programming. In 2022, the contract was extended through February 29, 2024.
In January 2024, the City was notified by the County of their intent to extend the contract for an additional 8 months and increase the total amount of funding at the same rate as the previous five years of the contract. As a result of rising costs to the City to provide the contracted services, a request was made to also increase the amount of funding in the new contract amendment. To allow the County time to consider the request for increased funding, an Extension of Time amendment was completed in February 2024, adding an additional 10 months to the contract term (through December 2024). In April 2024, the City was notified that our request for additional funding in the amount of $233,441 for the 10 month extension was approved, reflecting an 18% increase over the amount originally awarded for the extension.

BACKGROUND
YFSB’s central mission is to ensure Hayward’s richly diverse youth and families feel safe, supported, and experience community connectedness and general wellbeing. YFSB’s groundbreaking model of integrating youth serving systems across Hayward, including embedding mental health clinicians in a police department setting, allows YFSB to meaningfully improve the well-being of youth and families by maintaining alignment across the systems with which families have contact. This is achieved through offering comprehensive, culturally responsive services and opportunities that promote family stability and prevent juvenile justice involvement through empowering families to build on their strengths, supplement needs and create pathways to achieving goals. For nearly 45 years, the Bureau has successfully done this supporting thousands of families to address challenges and improve their individual and family functioning. Less than 10% of youth who participate in YFSB’s services are arrested or re-arrested within one year.
Since the 1970s, YFSB’s core service of providing mental health counseling to youth and families who are either system-involved or at elevated risk of system involvement has been primarily funded through a contract with the Alameda County Probation Department for Delinquency Prevention Network (Youth Service Center) services. In April of 2018, the Probation Department in partnership with the Alameda County General Services Agency released a Request for Proposals (RFP) to expand the Delinquency Prevention Network beyond the mental health counseling that had always been offered and begin funding Diversion, Life Skills, and Restorative Justice Services. As part of a competitive bid process to identify the most qualified service providers to deliver these services in specified geographic regions Countywide, Hayward was identified as Service Area Two. Through the RFP, the County outlined both general and specific requirements for contractors.
The general requirements specified that services utilize evidence-based practices and incorporate the following approaches:
- Trauma Informed Care Approach, which recognizes the long-lasting impact of trauma, including historical trauma, and implements services and interventions accordingly; - Positive Youth Development Approach, which values and honors the strengths that youth and families possess as the basis of what is needed to achieve their goals; and - Cultural Responsiveness Approach, which emphasizes the importance of developing policies, systems and structures that are relevant for families across racial/ethnic identities as well as gender, sexual orientation, language capacity, socioeconomic status, exposure to trauma, migration, and other factors that directly impact culture.
Additionally, an emphasis was placed on the provision of services that were developmentally appropriate for youth and focused on utilizing social support and building coping strategies to encourage success.
The specific requirements of the RFP sought contractors to provide the following services:
- Diversion services and programs specifically structured to prevent formal entry into the juvenile justice system and work with local school districts to develop site-specific alternatives to suspension programming;
- Life Skills and Support Services to enhance a youth’s ability to live independently and provide skills and opportunities that are critical to success, such as tangible life skill development, and pro-social engagement. These programs include service coordination/system navigation and case management services; and - Restorative Justice programs that utilize restorative practices to facilitate accountability strategies, which encourage youth to take responsibility and make amends for the harm caused within their communities. Services are intended for youth both in and out of custody.
In Summer 2018, YFSB completed the application and interview process to provide the services outlined above to 115 youth annually. In November 2018, annual funding in the amount of $237,500 was awarded to provide the proposed services. In May 2019, the City received a Standard Services Agreement from the County specifying a three-year contract award (March 1, 2019 through February 28, 2022) for $712,500 in total funding with an option to extend an additional two years. The contract extension was executed in January 2022 bringing the total amount of funding over the five-year contract term (through February 29, 2024) to $1,187,500.
In January 2024, the City was notified by the County of their intent to extend the contract for an additional 8 months and increase the total amount of funding at the same rate as the previous five years of the contract. As a result of rising costs to the City to provide the contracted services, a request was made to also increase the amount of funding in the new contract amendment. To allow the County time to consider the request for increased funding, an Extension of Time amendment was completed in February 2024, adding an additional 10 months to the contract term (through December 2024). In April 2024, the City was notified that our request for additional funding in the amount of $233,441 for the 10 month extension had been approved, reflecting an 18% increase over the amount originally awarded for the extension.
This funding will offset the cost of the 1.5 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Service Coordinators (Lead Program Assistants), 0.2 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Family Counselor, 0.3 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Counseling Supervisor, and 0.5 (FTE) other administrative support required to provide the contracted services.
Research clearly shows that being arrested in adolescence significantly increases the likelihood of subsequent arrests.1 Consistent with best practices on the most effective ways to serve youth and families and prevent escalating contact with the juvenile justice system, the YFSB Delinquency Prevention Network (Programs) services address the root causes underlying youth behaviors that result in contact with law enforcement. Program evaluation of YFSB’s Diversion, Life Skills and Restorative Justice Services shows that 80.6% of clients served during the initial five years of the contract reached their target outcomes as measured using the Partners for Change Outcome Management System (PCOMS).
DISCUSSION
The Youth and Family Services Bureau programs have successfully served Hayward youth and families from within the police department for more than four decades. At a time when the needs of families are only increasing, it is more important than ever to maintain critical mental health and other support services for youth. Moreover, as the field of law enforcement strives to be responsive to the needs of the community, programs like YFSB that prioritize the use of social services can be part of the solution. The services that will be provided under the recommended agreement have been developed in partnership with the Alameda County Probation Department. They reflect best practices for keeping youth positively engaged in the community and preventing involvement with the juvenile justice system.2,3 Moreover, the program model allows for universal access to services with all City of Hayward residents being eligible to participate at no cost, regardless of insurance or immigration status. Services like those provided by YFSB have been shown to mitigate the negative impacts of arresting youth during adolescence, including reducing the likelihood of future arrest or incarceration and increasing school enrollment and graduation rates.4 Consistent with this research, less than 10% of youth who participate in YFSB’s services are arrested or re-arrested within one year.
Components of YFSB Delinquency Prevention Network (Programs) Services – March 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024
- Diversion services and programs to prevent formal entry into the juvenile justice system. Program components include individual and group diversion meetings for youth who are arrested for first time or minor offenses or who receive citations for marijuana use pursuant to Proposition 64 and Alternative to Suspension group services delivered at Hayward Unified School District middle schools;

- Life Skills and Support Services to enhance a youth’s ability to live independently and provide skills and opportunities that are critical to their success, such as tangible life skill development, and pro-social engagement;
- Service coordination/system navigation and case management services, including Educational Support Services and participation in Coordination of Services Teams (COST) to connect youth and families to community resources, address basic needs and remove barriers to program success; and
- Restorative Justice programs for youth who are in custody at Camp Sweeney and Juvenile Hall, or are returning to the community after time in custody, that utilize restorative practices to facilitate accountability strategies, which encourage youth to take responsibility and make amends for the harm caused within their communities.
Program Sustainability
It is anticipated that these programs will be able to continue for many years to come. County financing comes from state allocations for Juvenile Probation Activities Funding and is a recurring expenditure in the County’s operating budget.
The services that will be provided under the recommended agreement are part of the YFSB’s overarching strategy to reduce and prevent juvenile involvement in the justice system by linking youth to services and opportunities that help them stay positively connected with the community. Addressing the root causes underlying youth behavior problems, such as mental health challenges, family functioning issues, school engagement problems, and insufficient access to positive activities and supports are critical components to encourage youth success and prevent contact with law enforcement. For youth who do encounter law enforcement, these services give officers more options and minimize formal processing in the juvenile justice system. This has a clear nexus with public safety and contributes to the overall wellbeing of Hayward families.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
As stated under DISCUSSION, above, improving community safety and keeping youth out of the juvenile justice system by supporting them to lead productive and healthy lives will have a positive economic impact for the Hayward community, as it addresses many of the factors that underlie poverty and a lack of economic opportunity. Moreover, the positive impact this program has on overall public safety contributes to a safe and thriving City which attracts residents and local businesses.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item supports the Strategic Priority of Enhance Community Safety and Quality of Life. Specifically, this item relates to Project Q17: Continue to provide family support programs through the Youth and Family Services Bureau.
FISCAL IMPACT
With the acceptance and appropriation of $233,441 awarded as part of the recommended amendment, the City will have received a total of $1,420,941 for DPN Program services from March 2019 through December 2024, spanning six fiscal years. The 2.5 FTE that support services discussed in this staff report are included in the City’s FY 2024 Operating Budget.
Accepting and appropriating these funds will help to offset the cost of these budgeted positions. While the revenue from these agreements does not fully cover the cost of the positions, the costs are further offset by additional revenue from the Medical Administrative Activities (MAA) program. Any remaining net costs to the City’s General Fund are included in the annual operating budget.
NEXT STEPS
If the Council authorizes this action, staff will work to: 1) amend the agreement with Alameda County Probation Department for Delinquency Prevention Network (Programs) services through December 2024; and 2) accept and appropriate $233,441 and 3) continue providing essential mental health services to Hayward youth and families.

BACKGROUND
Preparing students to thrive and graduate high school ready for college and a career is one of the primary goals of K-12 education. Increasingly, educating the whole child to promote social-emotional and character development as well as academic skills is becoming a recognized best practice in education.1 The field of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) offers a framework for how to incorporate a focus on the emotional needs of students into the daily tasks of education. The research shows that with this approach, students demonstrate significantly improved social and emotional skills, attitudes, behavior, and academic performance.2 Moreover, forming and maintaining relationships with caring adults at school has been linked to long-term success and can serve as a protective factor against trauma and other challenges.3
In 2009, the ACHCSA, Center for Healthy Schools and Communities (CHSC) launched a School- Based Behavioral Health Initiative to address student social-emotional issues as a critical ingredient for learning. The initiative supports a wide variety of services, including the Our Kids Our Families Program, which offers:

For nearly two decades, the YFSB has had an annual contract with the ACHCSA to provide school-based counseling and other support services in Hayward schools. With the development of the School-Based Behavioral Health Initiative in 2009, the focus of the work shifted to include both counseling services (individual, group, and family) as well as significant work with the whole school climate (including, parents, teachers, administrators, community providers, and others). The framework shift sought to amplify opportunities for youth to make crucial connections to adults by supporting the whole school, which included offering a range of services to both the youth and adults in the school system.
In 2016, through a new Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), the State of California changed the way public schools are funded resulting in an increase in funding for the HUSD. LCFF requires schools to engage their communities to develop Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAP) on how they plan to use the funds. Through town hall meetings with students and families, HUSD determined more school-based counseling services were the greatest need in the schools. Partially as a result of the infrastructure built to deliver the already successful Our Kids Our Families program funded by the County, HUSD initiated an agreement with the City to expand the school-based services provided by YFSB to include additional school sites.
Together, the services described above and provided under the recommended agreements are YFSB’s School-Based Mental Health Programs. These services are integrated and serve as part of a larger system of support for Hayward students. Currently, the County provides funding in the amount of $246,855 annually to offset the cost of three full-time equivalents (FTEs) YFSB Family Counselors to provide services in three Hayward schools. The District provides funding in the amount of $120,000 annually to offset the cost of one full-time equivalent (FTE) YFSB Family Counselor to provide services in an additional Hayward school, as well as provide additional services for all schools, such as crisis intervention and linking students to off-site support services.
The tables below summarize the services provided in the 2023-24 school year by the four YFSB Family Counselors assigned to the School-Based Mental Health Programs. In FY23-24, services were provided to the following HUSD Schools:
Stonebrae Elementary School
Ochoa Middle School
Bret Harte Middle School

DISCUSSION
The YFSB School-Based Mental Health Programs have successfully served Hayward students for over a decade. At a time when the needs of Hayward youth and families are only increasing, it is more important than ever to maintain critical mental health services for students at school. The services that will be provided under the recommended agreements have been developed in partnership with HUSD and the Alameda County Center for Healthy Schools and Communities. They reflect best practices for school-based mental health by taking a broader, school-wide approach to allow for the greatest impact possible with limited resources. Moreover, the program model allows for universal access to services with all students being eligible to participate at no cost, regardless of insurance or immigration status.
Programs like YFSB’s School-Based Mental Health Programs have been shown to have a positive impact on key young adult outcomes across multiple domains of education, employment, criminal activity, substance use, and mental health.4
Components of YFSB School-Based Mental Health Services – Academic Year 24-25 Mental health counseling and clinical case management services for youth and families to ensure that children and youth in need of early and intensive intervention services are receiving and benefitting from appropriate care, as well as removing or minimizing environmental contributors to problems;

Participation in school site-based multi-disciplinary teams who work together to address the needs of referred youth and manage support resources available at the schools;
Active participation in school-wide efforts to create a positive school climate, prevent conflicts and violence, and enhance the community setting for all members in order to create optimal conditions for learning and development; and Clinical supervision of interns to support the school-based interventions above.
School-Based Mental Health Program Staff
The YFSB staff assigned to the School-Based Mental Health Programs are highly qualified to provide the described services. Of the three counselors assigned to the County-funded Our Kids Our Families Program, two are Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, and the third is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. The counselor assigned to the HUSD-funded program is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. All four (4) YFSB counselors assigned to the school-based programs reflect the diversity of the Hayward community and one is a bilingual, bicultural Spanish speaker. They range in years of clinical experience from 5 to 25+ years.
Program Sustainability
It is anticipated that these programs will be able to continue for many years to come. The current contract amount received annually from Alameda County is $246,855. County financing comes from a combination of Measure A Funds and Tobacco Master Settlement Funds and is a recurring expenditure in the County’s operating budget. Moreover, should additional County funds become available, it has been communicated that they would be likely to invest more in the City of Hayward to expand the services provided. The $120,000 received annually from HUSD comes from the Local Control Funding Formula. As part of this, school districts are required to create a new three-year Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) each year. The services are in the current three-year LCAP and given the ongoing demands for more mental health counseling for students, it is anticipated that this funding will continue to be part of HUSD’s three-year plan, and relatedly their operating budget.
The YFSB School-Based Mental Health Services are part of the YFSB’s overarching strategy to reduce and prevent juvenile involvement in the justice system by linking youth to services and opportunities that help them stay positively connected with the community. Keeping youth engaged in school is one of the most important protective factors in their success, and by extension, prevents them from getting into trouble with law enforcement. This has a clear nexus with public safety and contributes to the overall well-being of Hayward families.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item supports the Strategic Priority of Enhance Community Safety and Quality of Life. Specifically, this item relates to Project Q17: Continue to provide family support programs through the Youth and Family Services Bureau.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
As stated above, supporting the emotional needs of students while they are in school has been shown to have positive outcomes on education, employment, criminal activity, substance use, and mental health that last for years to come. This has a positive economic impact on the Hayward community, as it addresses many of the factors that underlie poverty and a lack of economic opportunity. Moreover, the positive impact this program has on overall public safety contributes to a safe and thriving City that attracts residents and local businesses.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City will receive $246,855 in funding through the agreement with ACHCSA and $120,000 in funding through the agreement with HUSD. The four Family Counselor positions (4.0 FTE) discussed in this staff report are included in the City’s FY 2024 Operating Budget; accepting and appropriating these funds will help to offset the cost of these positions. While the revenue from these agreements does not fully cover the cost of the positions, the costs are further offset by additional revenue from the Medical Administrative Activities (MAA) agreement. Any remaining net costs to the City’s General Fund are already included in the budget.
NEXT STEPS
If the Council authorizes this action, staff will work to 1) execute the agreement with ACHCSA to provide Our Kids Our Families services for FY24-25; 2) execute the agreement with HUSD to provide school-based mental health services for FY24-25; 3) accept and appropriate $366,855 in payment; and 4) continue providing essential mental health services to youth in schools.

SUMMARY
On December 5, 2023, Council authorized a one -year extension of the existing Citywide Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) with the Building and Construction Trades Council of Alameda County (BTC). This extension was requested by staff in order to subsequently negotiate revised terms of the CWA with the BTC. Staff has successfully negotiated with the BTC for a revised Agreement. Included in the revised Agreement are negotiation points which have been added to the revised CWA (Attachment I II). Staff is recommending that Council approve the revised version of the CWA and authorize the City Manager to execute the revised CWA.
BACKGROUND
CWAs have been utilized in the construction industry to assure that labor issues related to major construction projects are minimized and to help accomplish local hiring and apprenticeship goals. CWAs are a type of collective pre -hire bargaining agreement between project managers or owners and organized labor that outline a variety of employment and other working conditions with the express purpose of providing peaceful settlement of labor disputes and grievances without work stoppages, strikes, or lockouts; thereby allowing for the timely and cost-effective completion of projects. It is noteworthy that there has never been a work stoppage or strike on any City projects in recent history.
In April 20151, the Council directed staff to negotiate and execute a CWA with the BTC for the new main library.
That agreement included the following types of provisions:
Requirements that the contractor and subcontractors on the project use local union hiring halls to hire trades workers for the projects;
“Local Hire” provisions, encouraging the contractor to employ Hayward residents or Hayward Unified School District graduates;
Requirements that all hired workers pay union dues and receive other benefit trust fund contributions;
Management rights regarding employment procedures, including hiring, discipline, etc.;
Grievance and arbitration procedures to allow for timely resolution of disputes;
Standardized work rules and regulations; and
Provisions governing requirements around apprenticeships.
At Council’s direction, staff brought forward an item on February 23, 20162 that allowed for the discussion of creating a “Citywide” CWA that could apply to a broader scope of projects within the community. Staff received policy direction from the Council at that meeting regarding how a Citywide CWA might be structured. Subsequently, staff negotiated a CWA with the BTC, which included an effective date of July 6, 2017. Below is a summary of the key elements of the final negotiated CWA:
1) The Citywide CWA applies to City projects where the construction cost of the project exceeds one million dollars ($1,000,000) based on the Engineer’s Estimate.
2) The Citywide CWA does not apply to private development projects or to projects awarded/managed by another third-party public agency where the City has contributed funding.

3) The City retains the ability to exempt certain specialty or unique projects from the CWA requirements as needed and upon approval by the Council. Staff and the BTC would first meet in good faith to discuss the exemption. However, if the parties fail to reach a consensus, staff would be able to bring the project to the Council for review and consideration.
4) During the duration of the Projects, the Union(s) and its members, agents, representatives and employees shall not incite, encourage, condone, or participate in any strike, walkout, slowdown, sit-down, stay-in, boycott, wobble, sympathy strike, picketing or other work stoppage or hand billing of any nature whatsoever, for any cause whatsoever (including jurisdictional disputes), and it is expressly agreed that any such action is a violation of the agreement.
5) A Joint Administrative Committee (JAC) comprised of two City representatives, two Union representatives, and one construction industry representative was established to review the implementation of the agreement and the progress of the projects. The JAC has the responsibility of monitoring the local hire and apprentice provisions of the agreement.
6) The agreement contains a goal that Hayward residents, and especially HUSD graduates, will perform a minimum of thirty (30%) percent of the hours worked on a craft-by-craft basis on the covered projects. Contractors shall make good faith efforts to reach the Local Hire Goal through the utilization of the Union’s hiring hall procedures. The Unions shall make good faith efforts in their recruiting and training of Hayward Resident workers and in their hiring hall procedures to facilitate the Local Hire Goal on the Projects. The parties shall cooperate to establish or support a pre- apprenticeship/internship program for HUSD graduates. If a Contractor fails to meet the Local Hire Goal or demonstrate a good faith effort, there will be a ten (10%) percent contract retention withheld until the Local Hire Goal is remedied.
Acceptable remedies include commitment to employ Hayward residents on non- City projects or acceptance of Hayward residents as new apprentices.
Contractors will be required under the agreement to hire one Hayward resident as a New Apprentice for the first one million dollars ($1,000,000) of construction costs with one additional apprentice for every five million dollars ($5,000,000) thereafter and with an assignment of a maximum of two New Apprentices to any one craft. A minimum of 50% of the applicable Apprentice hours on any project must be worked by the Hayward New Apprentice.
The BTC has also agreed to facilitate and encourage enrollment of least ten(10) Hayward residents or HUSD graduates into State approved Labor-Management Apprenticeship programs during each year of the agreement term and facilitate placing them on a job site.
The Citywide agreement was to expire on December 31, 2023. On December 5, 20233, Council authorized the City Manager to extend the agreement to December 31, 2024, to allow time for staff and the BTC to discuss any modifications and draft a revised CWA.
DISCUSSION
Staff successfully negotiated with the BTC and in good faith have agreed to the addition of the following negotiation points which were added to the CWA:
Article 2.3 – Covered Work
Section 2.3.4 - Add a requirement to “meet and confer, then if not resolved” before being subject to the grievance and arbitration process.
Article 5 Pre-Job Conference
Section 5.1 – Allow Pre-job conferences to be held using Teams, Zoom or some other form of teleconference.
Article 8 – Referral
General – City wants to require contractors to use a referral form that informs trade halls that the project is subject to a CWA with priorities, goals and preferences for hiring Hayward residents, HUSD grads, veterans and new Interns.
Section 8.8 – The City would like this section to reference the Union’s referral of a journeyman or apprentice, with priorities given to Hayward residents and/or Hayward Unified School District graduates. This is to reinforce the core purpose of the City’s participation in the CWA.
Article 11 Grievance Arbitration Procedure
Section 11.2 Step 3 –The list of acceptable arbitrators should be updated.
Article 13 – Local Hire and Apprentices
Section 13.4: The City wants to support efforts to increase the diversity of the construction work force by encouraging under-represented groups to enter the building trades.
Section 13.7: Require contractors to use an electronic program (by Elation Systems) to monthly craft utilization reports which include information related to the CWA hiring priorities.
General: there are a number of other suggested changes related to outreach, good faith efforts, offsite credits, penalties, negotiated compliance plans and federally funded projects.
Article 22 – Substance Abuse Prevention
Understanding that marijuana use is now legal, it is still unsafe and undesirable for anyone under the influence to be employed on a construction project. The CWA policy should maintain the threshold for Marijuana and follow US DOT, Drug 49 CFR Part 40, which has
3 https://hayward.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=6439973&GUID=EA0D1598-A0FD-46A2-8B4C-B28A8969DE87&Options=&Search=
remained consistent. Marijuana is still a Schedule 1 substance under the Controlled Substances Act and is still prohibited.
Although not included in the revised CWA, a suggestion for consideration was that local hires also include residents residing in areas outside of the City of Hayward (Union City, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Tri Valley Area - Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore, and Oakland areas.) The inclusion of hires outside of the City of Hayward would receive 50% credit toward the local hire goal while graduates of Hayward High Schools living outside of Hayward city limits would receive 100% toward the local hire goal.
Staff is requesting that Council approve the revised Community Workforce Agreement and authorize the City Manager to execute the revised CWA.
Environmental Review
Staff has determined that this action is statutorily exempt from analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the reason that it is not a project. CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378(b)(5), states that a project does not include "Organizat ion or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.” CEQA review will be completed separately for individual Public Works ’ projects subject to the Citywide CWA.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
There has been much debate over the years regarding the impacts of CWAs and their potential benefits (i.e., smoother management/labor relationships, increased local hiring, and improved pay and benefits to workers over and above that of a prevailing wage jo b).
Prior staff reports to Council have provided detail regarding project cost implications.
FISCAL IMPACT
This item will have no impact on the General Fund.

3.3 This Agreement shall only be binding on the signatory parties hereto their successors and assigns and shall not apply to the parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, lenders, or other ventures of any su ch party unless performing work within the scope of the Project(s).
3.4 At any time that any Contractor enters into a subcontract with any subcontractor of any tier for the performance of construction or construction trucking work within the scope of this Agreement, the Contractor shall pro vide a copy of this Agreement, as it may from time to time be modified by the negotiating parties, to said subcontractor and shall require the subcontractor as a part of accepting an award of a construction subcontract to agree in writing to be bound by each and every provision of the Agreement prior to the commencement of work.
3.5 Each Contractor and Subcontractor shall evidence their agreement to be bound to this Agreement by executing the Agreement To Be Bound form attached hereto as Attachment A. A copy of the Agreement To Be Bound executed by a Contractor or Subcontractor shall be submitted to the Union(s) prior to both the commencement of work and the pre-job conference. If the Contractor or Subcontractor refuses to execute the Agreement To Be Bound, then such Contractor or Subcontractor shall not be awarded a Construction Contra ct to perform work on the Projects. A Contractor or Subcontractor who executes the Agreement To Be Bound shall then subsequently be considered a signatory party to this Agreement.
3.6 The Contractor(s) has the primary obligation for performance of all conditions of this Agreement.
This obligation cannot be relieved, evaded or diminished by subcontracting. Should the Contractor(s) elect to subcontract, the Contractor(s) shall continue to have such primary obligation.
3.7 Each Contractor(s) shall give written notice to the Union(s) of any subcontract involving the performance of work covered by this Agreement within either seven (7) days of entering such subcontract or before such subcontractor(s) commences work on the Project, whichever occurs first.
Such notice shall specify the name, address and the California State License Board license number of the subcontractor(s).
8 3.8 (a) With regard to any Contractor that is independently signed to any Master Agreement, this Community Workforce Agreement shall in no way supersede or prevent the enforcement of any subcontracting clause contained in such Master Agreement , except as specifically set forth in subsection (b) of this Section. Any such subcontracting clause in a Master Agreement shall remain and be fully enforceable between each craft union and its signatory employers, and no provision of this Community Workforce Agreement shall be interpreted and/or applied in a ny manner that would give this Community Workforce Agreement precedence over subcontracting obligations and restrictions that exist between craft unions and their respective signatory employers under a Master Agreement, except as specifically set forth in subsection (b) of this Section 3.8.

(b) If a craft union (hereafter "Aggrieved Union") believes that an assignment of work on this Project has been made improperly by a contractor or subcontractor, even if that assignment was as a result of another craft union's successful enforcement of the subcontracting clause in its Master Agreement, as permitted by subsection (a) of this Section 3.8, the Aggrieved Union may submit a claim under the jurisdictional resolution process contained in Article 12 of this Community Workforce Agreement, and the decision rendered as part of that process shall be enforceable to require the contractor or subcontractor that made the work assignment to assign that work prospectively to the Aggrieved Union. An award made to a craft union under the subcontracting clause of its Master Agreement, as permitted pursuant to Section 3.8(a) of this Article, shall be valid and fully enforceable by that craft union unless it conflicts with a jurisdictional award made pursuant to this Community Workforce Agreement. If the award made under the Master Agreement conflicts with the jurisdictional award, the award of any damages under the former shall be null and void ab initio .
3.10 Each Contractor(s) shall alone be liable and responsible for its own individual acts and conduct and for any breach or alleged breach of this Ag reement. Any alleged breach of this Agreement by a Contractor(s) or any dispute between the Union(s) and the Contractor(s) respecting compliance with the terms of this Agreement, shall not affect the rights, liabilities, obligations and duties between the signatory Union(s) and each other Contractor(s), party to this Agreement.

Contractor(s) signatory to a Master Agreement with Union(s) signatory hereto shall be bound to use the hiring hall provisions contained in the relevant collective bargaining agr eement of the affected Union(s), and nothing in the referral provisions of this Agreement shall be construed to supersede the local hiring hall provisions of the Master Agreement, as they relate to such Contractor(s).

Regardless of which party has initiated the grievance proceeding, prior to the meeting of the Grievance Committee, the Union(s) shall notify its International Union(s) Representative(s), which shall advise both parties if it intends on participating in the meeting. The participation by the International Union(s) Representative in this Step 2 meeting shall not delay the time set herein for the meeting, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. A decision of the Grievance Committee shall be final and binding. If the dispute is not resolved with such time (seven (7) calendar days after its referral or such longer time as mutually agreed upon), it may be referred within seven (7) business days by either party to Step 3.
Step 3: In the event that the representatives are unable to resolve the dispute w ithin seven (7) calendar days after its referral to Step 3, the parties shall choose a mutually agreed -upon arbitrator for final and binding arbitration. If the parties cannot mutually agree on the selection of an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected by the alternate striking method from the following list: William Riker, Barry Winograd, The Honorable Laurence Kay, Robert Hirsch and Robert Clark. The order of striking names from the list of arbitrators shall be determined by a coin toss; the winner of such toss shall decide whether to strike first or second. Such striking shall take place within three (3) calendar days. If a party does not respond within three (3) calendar days, any arbitrator from the list is acceptable.
11.3 The Arbitrator shall arrange for a hearing no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after the matter has been submitted to arbitration. A decision shall be given to the parties within five (5) calendar days after completion of the hearing , unless such time is extended by mutual agreement. A written opinion may be requested by a party from the Arbitrator.
11.4 The decision of the Arbit rator shall be binding by all parties. The Arbitrator shall not have authority to change, amend, add or detract from any of the provisions of the Agreement. The expense
17 of the Arbitrator shall be borne equally by both parties , with each party bearing th e cost of their own legal counsel.
11.5 In order to encourage the resolution of disputes and grievances at Step 1 and 2 of the Grievance Procedure, the parties agree that such settlements shall not be precedent-setting.
11.6 The time limits specified in any step of the Grievance Procedure set forth in Section 11.2 may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties initiated by the written request of one party to the other, at the appropriate step of the Grievance Procedure. However, failure to process a grievance, or failure to respond in writing within the time limits provided above, without the request for an extension of time, shall be deemed a waiver of such grievance without prejudice, or without precedent to the processing of and/or resolution of like or similar grievances or disputes.
11.7 Where an issue is addressed in this Agreement and a Master Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail. Where an issue is addressed in a Master Agreement and not in this Agreement, the Master Agreement shall control. Grievances between a Union(s) and a Union(s)’ signatory contractor involving interpretation or application of the Master Agreement shall be governed by the grievance procedures contained in the Master Agreement.
11.8 Any strike, slowdown, picketing, sympathy strike or other form of work stoppage that arises out of a dispute as to the interpretation of the Agreement shall be subject to the procedures set forth in Article 4.
11.9 Should any of the arbitrators listed in section 11.2 or above no longer work as a labor arbitrator, the City and the Council shall mutually agree to a replacement.
ARTICLE 12
JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES
12.1 The assignment of Covered Work will be solely the responsibility of the Contractor/Employer(s) performing the work involved; and such work assignments will be in accordance with the Plan for the Settlement of Jurisdictional Disputes in the Construction Industry (the “Plan”) or any successor Plan.
12.2 All jurisdictional disputes on this Project between or among the Building and Construction Trades Unions and the Contractors, parties to this Agreement, shall be settled and adjusted according to the present Plan established by the Building and Construction Trades Department, or any other plan or method of procedure that may be adop ted in the future by the Building and Construction Trades Department. Decisions rendered shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Union parties to this Agreement.
18 12.2.1 If a dispute arising under this Article involves the Northern California Carpenters Regional Council or any of its subordinate bodies, an Arbitrator shall be chosen by the procedures specified in Article V, Section 5, of the Plan from a list composed of John Kagel, Thomas Angelo, Robert Hirsch, and Thomas Pagan, and the Arbitrator’s h earing on the dispute shall be held at the offices of the California State Building and Construction Trades Council in Sacramento, California, within 14 days of the selection of the Arbitrator. All other procedures shall be as specified in the Plan.
12.3 All jurisdictional disputes shall be resolved without the occurrence of any strike, work stoppage, or slow-down of any nature, and the Contractor’s assignment shall be adhered to until the dispute is resolved. Individuals violating this Section shall be su bject to immediate discharge. Each Employer will conduct a pre-job conference with the Council prior to commencing work. The Project Manager and the City will be advised in advance of all such conferences. The Primary Contractor shall attend all such meetings and the City may participate if it wishes. Pre -job conferences for different Employers may be held together.
ARTICLE 13
LOCAL HIRE AND APPRENTICES
13.1 The parties agree to a goal that Hayward Residents, and especially District Graduates, will perform a minimum of thirty (30%) percent of the hours worked on a craft by craft basis on the Projects (the “Local Hire Goal”). The Contractor shall make good faith efforts to reach the Local Hire Goal through the utilization of the Union’s hiring hall procedur es. The Unions shall make good faith efforts in their recruiting and training of Hayward Resident workers and in their hiring hall procedures to facilitate the Local Hire Goal on the Projects. The parties shall cooperate to establish or support a pre - apprenticeship/internship program for HUSD graduates. If a Contractor fails to meet the Local Hire Goal or demonstrate a good faith effort , there will be a ten (10%) percent contract retention withheld until the Local Hire Goal is remedied. Acceptable remedies include: commitment to employ Hayward residents on non-City projects or acceptance of Hayward residents as new apprentices.
13.2 A Contractor that has employed a Hayward Resident for up to six (6) months preceding the start of the Project for a minimum of at least one hundred (100) hours per month who has the ability to perform safely the basic functions of the applicable trade may receive credit for fifty (50%) percent of those hours towards the Local Hire Goal. A contractor may also receive credit for fifty (50%) percent of the documented hours performed by Hayward Residents on non -City projects, when such hours are concurrent with the Contractor’s work on the Project. The maximum total combined credit that can be applied under this section is half of the Local Hire Goal.
13.3 The Contractor is required to hire one Hayward resident as a New Apprentice for the first 1 million dollars ($1,000,000) of construction costs with one additional apprentice for every $5 million dollars ($5,000,000) thereafter (capped at 2 per craft). A minimum of 50% of the applicable Apprentice hours on any project must be worked by the Hayward New Apprentice. Any modifications to these
19 requirements must be agreed to by the JAC. There shall be no more than two New Apprentices for each craft, and the General Contractor shall be entitled to include New Apprentices hired by their subcontractors to meet this requirement. The City will refer the names of District Graduates and/or Hayward Residents to the Union and Contractors, and the Unions agree to cooperate with the Contractor in furnishing apprentices as requested. The hiring, supervision and compensation of apprentices shall be in accordance with the Apprenticeship Programs in the Master Agreements. The Contractor may deploy the Hayward New Apprentice to work on another concurrent project in order to meet the minimum hours, and those hours will be counted towards the total hours of the craft on the City project. The failure of the City to refer names and/or the Unions to provi de those apprentices upon request will relieve the Contractor of this First -Period Apprentice hiring responsibility . The Contractor shall make good faith efforts to hire Apprentices for a minimum of six (6) months or 1,000 labor hours.
13.4 The Council shall facilitate and encourage enrollment of least ten (10) Hayward res idents or District Graduates into State approved Labor -Management Apprenticeship programs during each year of the agreement term and facilitate placing them on a job site.
13.5 The Contractor or Subcontractor who hires such Hayward Resident First-Period Apprentices shall be credited with two (2) work hours towards the Local Hire Goal, for each hour worked by the Hayward Resident First-Period Apprentices.
13.6 The intent of the appr entice requirement is to employ new apprentices to the full est extent permissible by state law and the Master Agreements . The failure of the Contractor and its subcontractors to maintain qualified apprentices on the Project will be subject to Division of Apprenticeship Standards ’ penalties and further penalties as determined by the Joint Administrative Committee. The Contractors, Unions and the Building Trades Council shall use good faith efforts to retain apprentices employed pursuant to this Agreement and advance those apprentices to journeyman status.
13.7 It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to report and document compliance with this Article. This shall include, but not be limited to, monthly utilization reports showing all work hours by craft, certified weekly payroll records, and any documentation showing dispatch and referral requests.
13.8 The Contractor may request a negotiated compliance plan if compliance with the requirements of this Article is unreasonable or poses difficulty due to safety. In this case the Contractor will make the request in writing for a meeting with the Joint Administrative Committee prior to the commencement of work. The Joint Administrative Committee will then review this request, and if there is consensus, will approve the negotiated compliance plan, that the Contractor will sign off on. This new document will become the new local hiring requirements that the Contractor will have to meet or risk being in non - compliance.
20 ARTICLE 14
MANAGEMENT RIGHTS
14.1 The Contractor shall retain full and exclusive authority for the management of its operations, including the right to direct its work force in its sole discretion, except as otherwise limited by the terms of this Agreement and/or the Master Agreements.

When a subject is covered by both the Master Agreement and this Agreement, to the extent there is any inconsistency, this Agreement will prevail.
15.2 All Contractor(s)/Employer(s) agree to pay contributions to the vacation, pension and other form of deferred compensation plan, apprenticeship, worker protection and assistance, and health benefit funds established by the applicable Master Agreement for each hour worked on the Project in the amounts designated in the Master Agreements of the appropriate local Unions.
15.3 By signing this Agreement, the Contractor(s)/Employer(s) adopt and agree to be bound by the written terms of the legally established Trust Agreements , as described in section 9.1, and which may from time to time be amended, specifying the detailed basis on which payments are to be made into, and benefits paid out of, such Trust Funds. The Contractors authorize the parties to such local trust agreements to appoint trustees and successor trustees to administer the trust funds and hereby ratify and accept the trustees so appointed as if made by the Contractor(s). The Cont ractor(s) agrees to execute a separate Subscription Agreement(s) for Trust Funds when such Trust Fund(s) requires such document(s).
15.4 If an employee is discharged or voluntarily terminates, wages due shall be paid in accordance with California State Law.
ARTICLE 16
MODIFIED MASTER AGREEMENTS
21 16.1 Certain Provisions Shall Not Apply .

CITY OF HAYWARD COMMUNITY WORKFORCE AGREEMENT UNIFORM
SUBTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION POLICY
This Uniform Substance Abuse Prevention Policy, hereinafter referred to as “Policy,” is adopted by the City of Hayward, the Alameda County Building and C onstruction Trades Council, AFL -CIO, the Unions that become signatories to the Community Workforce Agreement (collectively referred to as “Unions”) and the Contractors who agree to be bound by the City of Hayward Community Workforce Agreement (collectively the “parties”).
The parties agree and acknowledge that the United States Government may require differing testing and detection standards than those that are contained in this policy for certain projects that will be constructed under the Community Workforce Agreement (the “CWA”). To the degree that these federal policies differ in substance or procedure (including the use of random testing) , the parties acknowledge that the federal policies will prevail where required by law or regulation. Violation of any federal policy will result in the same consequences as a violation of this Policy.
POLICY
The Contractors and the Unions are committed to protecting the health and safety of individual employees, their co-workers, and the public at large from the hazards caused by the misuse of drugs and alcohol on the job. The safety of the public, as well as the safety of fellow employees, dictates that employees not be permitted to perform their duties while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
This Policy supersedes any policies negotiated for any other work outside of the Project by Contractors and the Unions that might otherwise apply. Nothing in this Policy is intended to supersede or diminish more restrictive controlled substance or alcohol regulations impose d by federal or state agencies upon specific employee groups or categories of employees who are also covered by this Policy. A summary of this Policy will be provided to all dispatched employees. The full Policy will be made available to any Union representative or to Project employees upon request.
The intention of this Policy is to comply with the City of Hayward CWA’s requirement to maintain a drug and alcohol free workplace in order to ensure safe and productive working conditions with due regard for the personal privacy interests of Project employees. It is not the intention of the parties that any Contractor intrude on off-duty activities of Project employees away from the Project site unless those activities have a job-related impact. The circumst ances permitting controlled substance and alcohol testing in the Policy have been carefully defined and intentionally restricted. The Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator will retain oversight over Policy implementation and will monitor test procedures for consistency and policy compliance.
In order to implement this Policy, the following agreements have been reached:
29 1. No employee may purchase, sell, transfer, furnish, possess, use or be under the influence of illegal drugs or any alcoholic beverage while working on any Project job site in connection with work performed under the CWA, or when using any Contractor vehicle.
2. The proper use of prescription drugs or over-the-counter medication as part of a medical treatment program and consistent with the terms of this Policy is not a violation of this Policy. The improper use of prescription drugs, over -the-counter medication or the use of designer synthetic drugs that alters or affects an individual’s motor function or mental capacity is prohibited and is a v iolation of this Policy. Employees who believe or have been informed that their use of any prescription drug or over-the-counter medication may present a safety risk are to report such use to the Contractor’s supervision to ensure the safety of themselves, other employees, and Contractor or Project property or vehicles.
3. Any employee, while employed on the Project, who tests positive for drug or alcohol abuse or who is convicted for selling illegal drugs off the Project will not be permitted to work on the Project and will be subject to discipline up to and including discharge, subject to the provisions of this Policy.
Employees engaged in the sale, purchase or use of illegal drugs during the employee’s working hours will be subject to immediate termination and removed from the Project and will not be eligible for rehire.
4. Any prospective or dispatched worker who fails the pre -employment testing required pursuant to this Policy will be denied employment and will not be eligible for referral to any Contractor on the Project until a period of not less than sixty (60) calendar days has passed and the applicant has provided a certification of rehabilitation and satisfactory participation in an approved counseling or rehabilitation program, which will be at the employee’s expense.
5. Any prospective or dispatched worker/employee who refuses to submit to a properly administered drug or alcohol test will be treated as having tested positive on the test and will be subject to removal from the Project and will not be granted permission for a second drug or alcohol test for a period of ninety (90) days.
NOTICE
1. When calling the Union hiring hall for workers, the Contractor shall advise the Union dispatcher that the Contractor will require any dispatched worker to take a pre -employment drug and alcohol test, and that worker(s) will be subject to further testing in accordance with specified circumstances outlined in this Policy.
2. At the commencement of a Contract, the Contractor shall also provide notice in advance of the first dispatch request either by certified mail, by facsimile transmission or by hand delivery.
3. The Contractor shall provide written notice to each employee, attached hereto as Appendix C, of the major provisions of the drug and alcohol testing policy and its consequences.
4. A Contractor that fails to provide notice to the dispatcher shall be liable for two hours show -up pay for any dispatched worker who refuses to take a pre -employment test, and a dispatched worker’s
30 refusal to take the test may not be used in an y adverse manner against that worker, except that no dispatched worker will be hired without having taken a pre-employment drug test.
TERMS/DEFINITIONS
For purposes of this Policy, the following terms/conditions will apply:
1. Illegal drugs:
For the purpose of this Policy, the terms “illegal drugs” or “drugs” refer to those drugs listed in Appendix A, except in those circumstances where they are prescribed by a duly licensed health care provider.
Appendix A lists the illegal drugs and alcohol and the thre shold levels for which an employee/applicant will be tested. Threshold levels of categories of drugs and alcohol constituting positive test results will be determined using the applicable Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (“SAMHSA”) (formerly the National Institute of Drug Abuse, or “NIDA”) threshold levels, or U.S.
Government thresholds where required, in effect at the time of testing. Appendix A will be updated periodically to reflect the SAMHSA or the U.S. Government threshold c hanges, subject to mutual agreement of the Parties.
2. Prescription Drug:
A drug or medication prescribed by a duly licensed health care provider for current use by the person possessing it that is lawfully available for retail purchase only with a prescription.
3. Reasonable Cause:
Reasonable cause to test (which test must be conducted pursuant to this Policy’s Identification and Consent Procedures outlined below) an employee for illegal drugs or alcohol will exist when specific, reliable, objective facts an d circumstances are sufficient for a prudent person to believe that the employee more probably than not has used a drug or alcohol as evidenced by work performance, behavior or appearance while on the job site. These indicators will be recognized and acce pted symptoms of intoxication or impairment caused by drugs or alcohol, and will be indicators not reasonably explained as resulting from causes other than the use of such controlled substances (such as, but not by way of limitation, fatigue, lack of sleep , side effects of proper use of prescription drugs, reaction to noxious fumes or smoke, etc.) If cause results from an observation, the observation must be confirmed by a second member of the Contractor’s supervision and those Contractor representatives will endeavor to consult with the Contractor’s Safety Representative or a job site management representative, one who must be trained in detection of drug use, and whose training will be documented. The specific behavioral, performance on-the-spot physical indicators of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol
31 on the job will be substantiated in writing by the use of an Incident Report Form (attached as Appendix E).
The following may constitute some of the reasonable cause to believe that an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol:
(a) Incoherent, slurred speech;
(b) Odor of alcohol on breath;
(c) Staggering gait, disorientation, or loss of balance; (d) Red and watery eyes, if not explained by environmental causes; (e) Paranoid or bizarre behavior; or
(f) Unexplained drowsiness.
4. Post-Accident Testing:
A Contractor will require that an employee who is involved in an accident in the course of job duties resulting in serious damage to property or equipment or injury to him/herself or others as defined below may be te sted (which test must be conducted pursuant to this Policy’s Identification and Consent Procedures outlined below) for drugs or alcohol where the Contractor Safety Representative or designee concludes that:
(a) The accident may have resulted from human error or could have been avoided by reasonably alert action; and
(b) The employer’s representative reasonably concluded that the employee(s) to be tested caused or contributed to the following circumstances:
(i) An OSHA recordable injury, i.e., medical treatment case, re stricted work case or lost workday case;
(ii) Damage to equipment, vehicles, structures, or guarding resulting in repair costs that in the judgment of the Contractor will exceed $2,500.00; (iii) Loss of material containment resulting in an environmental spill notific ation; or
(iv) Any incident resulting in job site shutdown or involving a fatality; and (c) A basis exists to believe that the employee was under the influence of a drug or alcohol at the time of the accident.
5. Adulterated, Substituted or Diluted Specimens:
This Substance Abuse Prevention Policy adheres to guidelines established in SAMHSA Public Document 035 dated September 28, 1998, for determining the validity of a specimen. This guideline is consistent with the Department of Transportation (DOT) regulation s (49 CFR Part 40 and 382) that permit laboratories to conduct additional tests to determine the validity of a specimen.
32 An employee/applicant submitting a specimen for which an approved testing laboratory reports the existence of an “adulterant,” “interfering substance” and/or “masking agent” or the sample is identified as a “substituted specimen” will be deemed a violation of the PSA and Policy and will be processed as if the test result were positive. Those employees/applicants for whom the testing lab oratory reports an “adulterated,” “interfering substance,” “masking agent” or “substituted” specimen will be prohibited from the Project for not less than ninety (90) calendar days and the employee/applicant shall be required to show certification of reha bilitation of satisfactory participation in a Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator-approved rehabilitation program, not at the expense of the Contractor or Owner, as a condition of the employee’s return to work at that time.
The guideline issued in PD 035, in the SAMHSA September 28, 1998, memo uses the following reporting protocols:
(a) Adulterated Specimen: PD 035 includes three definitions for Adulterated:
(i) If the nitrite concentration is equal to or greater than 500 mcg/mL. (ii) If the pH is less than or equal to 3, or if it is greater than or equal to 11. (iii) If a foreign substance is present, or if an endogenous substance (one that is normally found in urine) is present at a concentration greater than the normal physiological concentration.
(b) Substituted Specimen: one that has a creatinine reading of less than or equal to 5mg/dL and a specific gravity less than or equal to 1.001 or greater than or equal to 1.020. These specimens do not exhibit the clinical signs or characteristics associated with normal urine. (c) Dilute Test: Protocol covering diluted specimens will follow guidelines established by SAMSHA PD 035 in its memo dated September 28, 1998. Specimens identified by the testing laboratory as dilute will require the employee/applicant to submit to an observed test. Refusal to retest or noncompliance with drug testing procedures will result in the employee/applicant being prohibited from working on the Project for ninety (90) calendar days, and the employee/applicant will be required to successfully complete a Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator-approved rehabilitation program at his/her own expense as a condition of the employee’s return to work at that time.
A “dilute specimen” is defined as: “one that has creatinine reading less than 20 mg/dL, but greater than 5mg/dL, and a specific gravity less than 1.003 but greater than 1.001.
6. Project:
The Project is defined as any construction activity that is undertaken under the terms of the City of Hayward Community Workforce Agreement.
33 IDENTIFICATION AND CONSENT PROCEDURE
1. When a prospective employee or dispatched worker arrives at the job site for potential employment, he/she will be shown and sign a copy of the Pre -Employment Substance Abuse Prevention Testing Consent/Waiver Form attached as Appendix D before ta king a pre -employment drug or alcohol screening test. An employee who is working on the Project and has submitted to the pre -employment drug and alcohol test and has tested negative may thereafter be required to submit to drug or alcohol testing only if the Contractor has “reasonable cause” to believe that the employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol in violation of this Policy or in connection with an accident as set out above in this Policy. The Contractor may order urine (or in the case of alcohol, breathalyzer) testing only.
2. If a management representative (preferably not in the bargaining unit) makes observations of an employee which may constitute reasonable cause for drug or alcohol testing, the supervisor shall immediately take the following actions:
A. Inform the employee that he/she may have a Union Representative present, if reasonably available. The employee will be shown the Substance Abuse Prevention Testing Consent/Waiver Form attached as Appendix B.
B. Fill out the Incident Report For m, including a statement of the specific facts constituting reasonable cause to believe that the employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and the name of the person(s) making the supporting observations.
C. Provide a completed copy of this Incident Report Form to the employee before he/she is required to be tested (and one copy made available to the Union Representative, if present). After being given a copy of the Incident Report Form, the employee will be allowed enough time to read the entire document, to understand the reasons for the test.
D. Provide the employee with an opportunity to provide an explanation of his/her condition, including providing evidence (e.g., doctor’s prescription or note, or prescription container) or existing medical treatment or reaction to a prescribed drug. If available, the Union Representative shall be present during such explanation and will be entitled to confer with the employee before the explanation is required.
E. If the Management representative(s), after observi ng the employee, and hearing any explanation, concludes that there is in fact reasonable cause to believe that the employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the employee may be ordered to submit to a drug and/or alcohol test and will be asked to sign the Consent/Waiver Form attached as Appendix B.
3. Failure to follow any of these procedures will result in the elimination of the test results as if no test had been administered; the test results will be destroyed and no discipline shall be imposed against the employee. Refusal of the employee to submit to the test where these procedures have been followed
34 will be treated as a positive test and subject the employee to discipline including removal from the Project and discharge.
4. Unless there is reaso n to believe that the person being tested has previously altered a sample or unless there is agreement in writing, an individual will be allowed to provide the required specimen in the privacy of a stall or partitioned area.
5. A worker initially dispatched to a Project job site where this Policy is in effect will be required to submit to testing for illegal drugs or alcohol as defined in the Policy. The testing of such workers must be conducted in compliance with the “Drug Testing Procedures” described in this Policy, and be required of dispatched workers only on the first day of reporting to the initial job site. The urine drug and alcohol testing of these dispatched workers is the only testing allowed under this Policy, other than for “ reasonable cause” or in connection with an accident as set out above in this Policy. Notwithstanding this provision, if a rehabilitation program or drug treatment program determines that periodic testing is appropriate or necessary for the employee who has tested positive under this Policy, then that employee will be subject to future urine drug testing as recommended by the rehabilitation program.
Except as set out in the Notice provision above, a worker initially dispatched to such job site who refuses to submit a urine sample for drug/alcohol testing will not be entitled to show -up pay for that day, and will be denied employment on the Project for a period of ninety (90) calendar days. If a worker who has refused a test returns to the same job site within ninety (90) ca lendar days, and is denied work, that worker will not be entitled to show -up pay. If a worker initially dispatched to the job site refuses to submit a urine sample or to take a breathalyzer test for drug/alcohol testing, and that worker is denied employment for ninety (90) calendar days this action will not be grieveable under the CWA. If the worker tests negative for drugs and alcohol, he/she will not be drug tested again while employed by the Contractor at any job site except for reasonable cause or post-accident as described in this Policy.
6. If the Contractor has reasonable cause to believe an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or requires a post accident drug or alcohol test, as set forth in this Policy, and the employee refuses to su bmit to a drug test, the refusal shall be treated as a positive test result and the employee/applicant shall be subject to discipline, including removal from the Project and discharge.
7. The following rules control the pay for dispatched workers tested on t he first day of their employment:
A. A dispatched worker who is put to work immediately after having passed the test shall be paid starting at the time the worker reported for the test(s).
B. Where a contractor requests a dispatched worker to report for purpose s of a pre -hire substance abuse test, and does not intend to place the worker in an active work position
35 on that day, the worker shall receive four (4) hours of pay at the regular straight -time hourly rate if the test is negative.
C. If the dispatched worker is not allowed to work until the results of the drug test are received, and the test results are positive, the dispatched worker is not entitled to any form of pay (including show-up pay).
D. If the dispatched worker is put to work, that dispatched worker is entitled to pay and benefits under the CWA for all hours worked, regardless of the results of the drug test.
E. Where a Contractor fails to provide notice, pursuant to this Policy, to the Union hiring hall that the job site is a drug and alcohol testing site, a dispatched worker who refuses to take the pre -employment test will be paid two hours show -up pay, except that no dispatched worker will be hired without having taken a pre-employment drug test.
DRUG TESTING PROCEDURES
1. The testing shall be done at a ce rtified laboratory located in California. The parties retain the right to inspect the laboratory to determine conformity with the standards described in this Policy. The laboratory will only test for alcohol and the illegal drugs listed in the Definition Section of this Policy and Appendix A. All testing will be at the Contractor’s expense.
Testing procedures, including controlled substance to be tested, specimen collection, chain of custody and threshold and confirmation test levels shall comport with the Mandatory Guidelines For Federal Workplace Testing Programs established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as amended and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act regulations, where applicable.
Controlled substance tests shall be conduct ed only by laboratories licensed and approved by SAMHSA which comply with the American Occupational Medical Association (AOMA) ethical standards. Controlled substance tests shall be by urinalysis and shall consist of two procedures, a screen test (EMIT or equivalent) and if that is positive, a confirmation test (GC/MS). Alcohol test shall be by breathalyzer. Any test revealing a blood/alcohol level equal to or greater than 0.08 percent, or the established California State standard for non -commercial motor vehicle operations, or when operating a moving vehicle or crane any test revealing a blood/alcohol lever equal to or greater than
0.04 percent, or the established California State standard for commercial motor vehicle operations, shall be positive and will be conducted under procedures consistent with California state law.
An employee/applicant presenting himself/herself at a Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator - approved drug collection site must have a minimum of one piece of government -issued photo identification and may not leave the collection site for any reason – unless authorized by the collection agency – until he/she has fully completed all collection procedures. Failure to follow all collection procedures will result in the employee/applicant being classified as “refusing to test” and
36 being prohibited from working on the Project for a minimum of ninety (90) calendar days from the date of the scheduled test.
At the time the urine specimens are collected two (2) separate samples shall be placed in separate sealed containers. One (1) of the samples collected in a separate container shall be kept refrigerated at the site where the sample is given. Upon request, this second sample shall be made available to the employee for testing by a certified l aboratory selected by the employee at the employee’s expense.
2. The specific required procedure is as follows:
A. Urine will be obtained directly in a tamper -resistant urine bottle. Alternatively, the urine specimen may be collected at the employee’s option in a wide -mouthed clinic specimen container that must remain in full view of the employee until transferred to, sealed and initialed, in separate tamper-resistant urine bottles.
B. Immediately after the specimen is collected, it will be divided into two (2) urine bottles which, in the presence of the employee, will be labeled and then initialed by the employee and witness. If the sample must be collected at a site other than the drug and/or alcohol-testing laboratory, the specimens must then be placed in a tr ansportation container. The container shall be sealed in the employer’s presence and the employee must be asked to initial or sign the container. The container will be sent to the designated testing laboratory on that day or the earliest business day by the fastest available method.
C. A chain of possession form must be completed by the hospital, laboratory and/or clinic personnel during the specimen collection and attached to and mailed with the specimens.
3. The initial test of all urine specimens will util ize immunoassay techniques. All specimens identified as positive in the initial screen must be confirmed utilizing gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) technique that identifies at least three (3) ions. In order to be considered “positive” for reporting by the laboratory to the employer, both samples must be tested separately in separate batches and must also show positive results on the GC/MS confirmatory test.
4. All positive drug, alcohol or adulterant test results must be reported to a Medical R eview Officer (MRO) appointed by the designated laboratory. The MRO shall review the test results and disclosure made by the employee/dispatched worker and shall attempt to interview the employee/dispatched worker to determine if there is any physiologica l or medical reason why the result should not be deemed positive. If no extenuating reasons exist, the MRO shall designate the test positive. The MRO shall make good faith efforts to contact the employee/ dispatched worker, but failing to make contact wit hin two (2) working days, may deem the employee/ dispatched worker ’s result a “lab positive.” After the issuance of a “lab positive,” the employee/ dispatched worker will be barred
37 from the Project until the employee/dispatched worker makes contact with the MRO and the MRO sends the Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator a written confirmation of the negative result.
5. If the testing procedures confirm a positive result, as described above, the employee/dispatched worker and the Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator will be notified of the results in writing by the MRO, including the specific quantities. If requested by the employee or the Union (within the written consent of the member), the laboratory will provide copies of all laboratory reports, forensic opinions, laboratory work sheets, procedure sheets, acceptance criteria and laboratory procedures.
6. In the event of a positive drug or alcohol test, an automatic confirmation test will be performed on the original specimen by the testing laboratory at no cost to the employee. In addition, the testing laboratory shall preserve a sufficient specimen to permit an independent re-testing at the request of the employee at his/her expense. Re -tests may be conducted by the same or any other approved laboratory. The laboratory shall endeavor to notify the MRO of positive drug, alcohol or adulterant test results within five (5) working days after receipt of the specimen. The employee may request a re-test within five (5) working days from notice of a positive test result by the MRO. Costs of re-tests will be paid in advance by the requesting party.
7. The Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator shall ensure that all specimens confirmed positive will be retained and placed in properly secured long-term frozen storage for a minimum of one (1) year, and be made available for retest as part of any administrative proceedings.
8. All information from an employee’s or dispatched worker’s drug and alcohol test is confidential for purposes other than determining whether this Policy has been violated. Disclosure of test results to any other person, agency, or organization is prohibited unless written authorization is obtained from the employee or dispatched worker. The results of a positive drug test shall not be released until the results are confirmed.
9. Every effort will be made to ensure that all employee substance abuse problems will be discussed in private and actions taken will not be made known to anyone other than those directly involved in taking the action, or who are required to be involved in any disciplinary procedure, and those persons will be identified in writing at the time of the procedure.
No laboratory or medical test results will appear in the employee’s Personnel File. Information of this nature will be kept in a separate confidential file.
All necessary measures shall be taken to keep the fact and the results of the test confidential.

A dispatched worker may utilize the CWA grievance procedure to challenge the validity of a positive test result.
2. Employees: If the initial results of a drug or alcohol test admin istered by the Contractor show that the employee was under the influence of drugs or alcohol while on duty, the employee will be removed from the Project until the test results have been confirmed by the procedures contained in this Policy.
(a) If the final test is negative, the employee will be reinstated with full back pay for lost time.
(b) If the initial positive test result is confirmed, the employee will be barred from the Project effective the date and time of the collection of the test specimen. The empl oyee is subject to termination, subject to the provisions of the section below.
(c) Discipline imposed for a first positive test for an employee subjected to reasonable-cause testing, or subject to post -accident testing when in fact drugs or alcohol played no role in the accident, and any grievance filed in response thereto, will be held in abeyance pending voluntary participation by the employee in a Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator-approved treatment program during an unpaid leave of absence.
(d) The employee may return to work if work is available after a certificate of either rehabilitation or satisfactory participation in the program. If the program determines that periodic testing is appropriate or necessary, the employee will be subject to future uri ne drug or alcohol testing, even on a random basis.
(e) If the employee successfully completes or participates in such a program or is not disciplined for substance use, possession or being under the influence of drugs or alcohol for twenty -four (24) months following the initial confirmed positive test, the discipline shall be revoked.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Chief of Police
SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency for Fiscal Year 2024 Through 2025 and Accept and Appropriate between $250,000 and $350,000 in Reimbursements for Medi-Cal Administrative Activities Services Provided by the City of Hayward
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to execute the FY24-25 Agreement with the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency (ACHCSA) to accept and appropriate between $250,000 and $350,000 in reimbursement for Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (MAA) services provided by the City of Hayward Youth and Family Services Bureau.
SUMMARY
Since 2006, the City of Hayward has had an annual Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with ACHCSA to provide Medi-Cal Administrative Activities to youth and families in Hayward, with the goal of promoting family stability and preventing juvenile justice involvement through offering comprehensive, culturally responsive services and opportunities. As a result of this MOU, the ACHCSA provides a yearly reimbursement to the City of Hayward for the cost of time spent providing services that support the Medi -Cal program. Examples of these activities, which are provided by the Youth and Family Services Bureau (YFSB) include assisting eligible individuals to apply for Medi-Cal coverage, connecting people to Medi- Cal covered services, and developing programs and policies that close service gaps and allow more people to access Medi-Cal and Medi-Cal covered services. The amount of MAA reimbursement varies year to year, but it is expected to be between $250,000 and $350,000 for FY24-25, which minimally funds
1.0 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Family Counselor. Additional revenue generated beyond that is reinvested into YFSB’s programming to further offset the cost to the City’s General Fund.
Council approval is requested to authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the annual MOU with the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency for Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (MAA) to maintain these important mental health services for Hayward youth and families.

Since 2006, the City of Hayward has had an annual Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with ACHCSA to provide Medi-Cal Administrative Activities to youth and families in Hayward, with the goal of promoting family stability and preventing juvenile justice involvement through offering comprehensive, culturally responsive services and opportunities. As a result of this MOU, the ACHCSA provides a yearly reimbursement to the City of Hayward for the cost of time spent providing services that support the Medi-Cal program. Examples of these activities, which are provided by the Youth and Family Services Bureau (YFSB) include assisting eligible individuals to apply for Medi-Cal coverage, connecting people to Medi-Cal covered services, and developing programs and policies that close service gaps and allow more people to access Medi-Cal and Medi-Cal covered services. The amount of MAA reimbursement varies year to year, but it is expected to be between $250,000 and $350,000 for FY24-25, which minimally funds 1.0 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Family Counselor.
Additional revenue generated beyond that is reinvested into YFSB’s programming to further offset the cost to the City’s General Fund.
Council approval is requested to authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the annual MOU with the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency for Medi-Cal
Administrative Activities (MAA) to maintain these important mental health services for Hayward youth and families.
BACKGROUND
Research clearly shows that being arrested in adolescence significantly increases the likelihood of subsequent arrests.1 Consistent with best practices on the most effective ways to serve youth and families and prevent escalating contact with the juvenile justice system, YFSB provides a continuum of services that address the root causes underlying youth behaviors that result in contact with law enforcement.
The YFSB’s central mission is to ensure Hayward’s richly diverse youth and families feel safe, supported and experience community connectedness and general wellbeing. This is achieved through offering comprehensive, culturally responsive services and opportunities that promote family stability and prevent juvenile justice involvement through empowering families to build on their strengths, supplement needs, and create pathways to achieving goals. For nearly 45 years, YFSB has successfully done this supporting thousands of families to address challenges and improve their individual and family functioning. Less than 10% of youth who participate in YFSB’s services are arrested or re-arrested within one year. YFSB’s groundbreaking model of integrating mental health clinicians into the Hayward Police Department was recognized in the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) evaluation as a national model and was recommended for replication in police departments nationwide.
To offset the cost of providing YFSB Services, since 2006, the City has had an annual MOU with the ACHCSA to provide MAA. The State of California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) recognizes that local, community agencies such as YFSB have a unique relationship with Medi-Cal eligible individuals and are in a position to facilitate these individuals’ access to Medi-Cal and Medi-Cal covered services. It further recognizes the expertise of these agencies to identify and assess the healthcare needs of the Medi-Cal-eligible individuals served. As a result, DHCS, through the ACHCSA, reimburses the City for the cost of time spent providing services that support the Medi-Cal program. Examples of these activities include assisting eligible individuals to apply for Medi-Cal coverage, connecting people to Medi-Cal covered services, and developing programs and policies that close service gaps and allow more people to access Medi-Cal and Medi-Cal covered services. The amount of MAA reimbursement varies year to year, but it is expected to be between $250,000 and $350,000 for FY24-25, which basically funds 1.0 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Family Counselor. Additional revenue generated beyond that is reinvested into YFSB’s programming to further offset the cost to the City’s General Fund.

DISCUSSION
The Youth and Family Services Bureau staff play a critical role in connecting community members to Medi-Cal covered services. In recognition of this function, the County provides an annual reimbursement for the cost of staff time spent providing this service. This reimbursement funding is re-invested to support YFSB programming, which contributes to the overall strength and success of the YFSB model. Providing alternatives to youth involvement in the juvenile justice system is a critical issue locally and nationally. The literature clearly shows that more restrictive juvenile justice interventions such as youth incarceration contribute to poorer outcomes and increased rates of recidivism. Conversely, offering alternatives such as family counseling, case management, and diversion, not only reduces recidivism but also leads to better outcomes for youth and families overall. The execution of this agreement and the acceptance of the associated funding will allow the Youth and Family Services Bureau to continue to play a crucial role in keeping youth out of the juvenile justice system and contributing to the overall safety and wellbeing of Hayward families.
Components of Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (MAA) Program – FY24-25 - Medi-Cal outreach to connect Medi-Cal-eligible individuals with Medi-Cal-covered services;
- Referral, coordination, and monitoring of Medi-Cal covered services; - Facilitating the Medi-Cal application process;
- Contract administration for Medi-Cal covered services; and - Program planning and policy development to increase Medi-Cal system capacity and close service gaps and coordinate with other agencies to improve service delivery
The services that will be provided under the recommended agreement are part of the YFSB’s overarching strategy to reduce and prevent juvenile involvement in the justice system by linking youth to services and opportunities that help them stay positively connected with the community. Addressing the root causes underlying youth behavior problems, such as mental health challenges, family functioning issues, school engagement problems, and insufficient access to positive activities and supports are critical components to encourage youth success and prevent contact with law enforcement. For youth who do encounter law
enforcement, these services give officers more options and minimize formal processing in the juvenile justice system. This has a clear nexus with public safety and contributes to the overall wellbeing of Hayward families.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
As stated under DISCUSSION, above, improving community safety and keeping youth out of the juvenile justice system by supporting them to lead productive and healthy lives will have a positive economic impact on the Hayward community, as it addresses many of the factors that underlie poverty and a lack of economic opportunity. Moreover, the positive impact this program has on overall public safety contributes to a safe and thriving City which attracts residents and local businesses.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item supports the Strategic Priority of Enhance Community Safety and Quality of Life. Specifically, this item relates to Project Q17: Continue to provide family support programs through the Youth and Family Services Bureau.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City will receive between $250,000 and $350,000 in reimbursement from the one-year agreement with HCSA. The 1.0 FTE Family Counselor position discussed in this staff report is included in the City’s FY 2025 Operating Budget. Accepting and appropriating the reimbursement funds will help to offset the cost of the position.
NEXT STEPS
If the Council authorizes this action, staff will work to: 1) execute the agreement with ACHCSA to provide Medi-Cal Administrative Activities services for FY24-25; 2) accept and appropriate between $250,000 and $350,000 in reimbursement revenue and 3) continue providing essential mental health services to Hayward youth and families.

SUMMARY
In Spring 2024, CalFire released a notice of funding opportunity for the UCF Grant, a multiyear grant opportunity to encourage proactive maintenance and monitoring of urban street trees, advancing the use of tree inventory monitoring, and improving preparation for severe weather, among other program goals. The grant requires no match. Staff is requesting the approval to file an application to receive funds for tree planting, maintenance, and other activities during the grant period. Staff also requests that the City Manager be authorized to execute the funding agreement, accept the grant funds, and appropriate $1,500,000 to Project 06933.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Inflation Reduction Act provided $1.5 billion for UCF investments. Goals of the project include increased and equitable access to urban tree canopy and associated human, environmental, and economic benefits, tree planting and management activities, and improved resilience to climate change.
On April 9, 2024, staff received approval from the City’s Grant Committee to apply for $1,500,000 in grant funds for tree planting and related activities. Trees play a crucial role in fostering environmental sustainability and community well-being. Trees provide numerous benefits, such as improving air quality, mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon
dioxide, enhancing biodiversity, and beautifying neighborhoods. Additionally, more green spaces promote physical and mental health, create recreational opportunities, and increase social interactions. As part of the grant, staff is coordinating with community organization groups and neighboring agencies, which will lead to community investment, stewardship, and increased awareness of tree planting, maintenance, and benefits.
ECONOMIC IMPACT AND SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES
This item has no direct economic impact. However, the use of grant funds for tree planting will provide various environmental and social benefits as discussed previously.
FISCAL IMPACT
This grant opportunity requires no matching funds which means there will be no impact to any City fund.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This item supports Council’s Strategic Priority of Confront Climate Crisis since it will support the planting and maintenance of trees.
Project C10: Plant 1,500 trees annually, directly and in partnership with community groups
PUBLIC CONTACT
Staff has already started collaborating with community partners and groups like the Hayward Area Recreation District, the Keep Hayward Clean and Green Task Force, and 100K Trees- Hayward, to discuss and propose grant-eligible projects. Staff and the community groups will work together to implement grant priorities, if awarded.
NEXT STEPS
Upon approval of this item, staff will submit an application to CalFire for UCF funds. If awarded, the City Manager will be authorized to execute a funding agreement and be authorized to accept and appropriate grant funds to Project 06933.

BACKGROUND
Over the years, Council has taken several actions to develop a policy that ensures the City builds streets that are safe, convenient for travel regardless of age or ability, and accommodate motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transportation riders. On March 19, 2013, Council adopted Resolution No. 13-027, supporting a citywide Complete Streets Policy to support the design and development of a comprehensive, integrated transportation network to allow for safe, convenient travel along and across streets for all users.
Council has prioritized Main Street as one of the key streets that requires improvement due to its location in the core downtown area, which offers a wide range of housing choices (existing and planned future), including affordable housing options, retail stores, and services in close proximity to BART and other public transit services. Consistent with this policy and Council’s priority of implementing complete streets elements, City staff developed a concept plan for converting Main Street between McKeever Street and D Street into a Complete Street.
DISCUSSION
On December 5, 2023, Council approved the plans and specifications for the construction of the project and call for bids to be received after Caltrans provided the E-76, the authorization to proceed with construction. The E-76 is the Caltrans and Federal authorization of the funds for reimbursement of the construction phase as this project is partially funded by the One Bay Area Grant (OBAG). After receiving the E-76 from Caltrans on February 22, 2023, the project was advertised on February 23, 2024. Staff issued Addendum No. 1 on March 19, 2024, which responded to bidders’ questions.
On March 26, 2024, seven (7) bids were received (Attachment III), ranging from $4,117,499.30 to $6,443,478. Radius Earthwork, Inc., (Radius) of Campbell, CA, submitted the lowest bid in the amount of $4,117,499.30, which is 6.2% higher than the Engineer’s Estimate of $3,878,935.
Sposeto Engineering of Livermore, CA, submitted the second lowest bid in the amount of $4,437,170, which is 14.4% higher than the Engineer’s Estimate.
Bid Protest by Sposeto Engineering
On March 29, 2024, the second low bidder, Sposeto Engineering submitted a bid protest letter (Attachment IV) requesting the City not award the contract to Radius on the grounds that Radius did not seal their bid proposal as required by the specifications. Radius responded to the bid protest on April 2, 2024 stating that they did not agree with Sposeto Engineering’s protest because while the bid envelope was not sealed properly due to their oversight, their bid was closed and was not tampered or altered with any eraser or whitener. Furthermore, the bids were opened publicly. Staff was present from the time bids were received by the City Clerk to the time when bids were opened and at no time did anyone have access to the bids. Not sealing the bid envelope did not provide an advantage to Radius and is inconsequential to the bid results. Staff recommends rejecting Sposeto Engineering’s bid protest.
Radius Earthwork, Inc, Information Received After Bid Opening On March 28, 2024, the apparent low bidder, Radius Earthwork, Inc., indicated to staff that their listing of subcontractors included an error of listing two subcontractors, RMT Landscape and Marina Landscape for same items of work. On March 29, 2024, Radius provided documentation (Attachment V) that they intended to delete Marina Landscape but erroneously left them in the listing of subcontractors. Marina Landscape agreed and withdrew their subcontract bid. Staff reviewed the information and RMT Landscape’s total subcontract amount correlates with the cost of the various bid items in Radius’s bid to be performed by RMT Landscape. This error did not provide Radius an advantage and is inconsequential to the bid result. Staff recommends accepting Radius Earthwork’s information.
Disadvantage Business Enterprise (DBE) Program
Since a portion of this project is funded by the One Bay Area Grant (OBAG), this project is required to meet DBE goals. This project requires a DBE goal of 20%. The apparent low, second bidder has provided documentation that they are committed to meet that goal; their commitment is 31.3% DBE participation.
Community Workforce Agreement
On November 15, 2016, Council passed a resolution authorizing a Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) with the Alameda County Building Trades Council (BTC), which applies to City projects with construction costs of $1,000,000 or more. The agreement requires contractors to use local union hiring halls, encourages contractors to employ Hayward residents or Hayward Unified School District graduates, and requires hired workers to pay union dues and other benefit trust fund contributions, etc. Because the construction cost estimate for this Project is more than $1,000,000, the CWA agreement does apply.
Staff recommend awarding the construction contract to the lowest-responsible bidder, Radius Earthwork, Inc., in the amount of $4,117,499.30 plus $411,999.70 for administrative change orders for a total $4,529,499.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
The proposed Main Street Project improvements will help revitalize the core Downtown area, which offers a wide range of housing choices (existing and planned future), including affordable, retail stores, and services as well as housing developments, both existing and planned, in close proximity to BART and other public transit services.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project is partially funded by the OBAG program from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, which provides $2,002,818 for the project. The initial OBAG grant amount was $1,675,000 and an additional $327,818 was repurposed to this project from the West Winton Avenue pavement project which also received OBAG funding. The West Winton Avenue pavement project is on hold due to the Interstate 880-Route 92 Interchange project. The $327,818 will need to be appropriated to Fund 450. As required by the grant, the City’s contribution is $550,000. The
$550,000 City match was allocated ($175,000 in FY18 and $375,000 in FY19) in the Adopted FY18 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the design and construction phase. Finally, $1 million has been reallocated from the Safe Routes for Seniors (SR4S) (Measure BB Paratransit – Capital) project.
The SR4S project removed two intersections from that project since the scope of the Main Street Complete Street project included them.
The total funding for the project is:
OBAG Grant $1,675,000
Earmarked Repurposing
City of Hayward Contribution
$327,818
$550,000
Safe Route for Seniors (Measure

Construction $4,117,499
Construction Contingency (ACO) $412,000
Construction Admin, Inspection, Testing $600,000
Project Total $5,829,499
Currently, there is a funding shortfall of $2,276,681. Staff recommends the shortfall be funded by a transfer from Fund 101 – Measure C Fund and appropriation in Fund 450 – Street Improvement Fund.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item supports the Strategic Priority to Invest in Infrastructure. Specifically, this item relates to the implementation of the following project(s):
Invest in Multi-Modal Transportation
Project N6: Continue to add approximate 10 miles of bike lanes annually, with a focus on protected bike lanes and intersection that have high traffic/incidents
SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES
1. Environment:
This project increases pedestrian and bicycle transportation options which, among other benefits, will lead to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions related to single occupancy vehicle use.
The project will also include permeable pavers to treat storm water runoff from the sidewalk and filter pollution from the storm water before entering the San Francisco Bay.
2. Energy:
This project will install streetlights with energy efficient LED lighting and dimming features to provide electricity and maintenance cost savings.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Listed below are previous public meetings or public outreach efforts performed by the City:
At the July 24, 2017 CIC meeting, staff presented three design concepts to the Committee and public for feedback and comments.
At the June 22, 2020 community meeting, staff re-introduced the two design concepts presented at the July 24, 2017 CIC to the community and public for feedback and comments.
At the July 22, 2020 CIC meeting, staff presented a revised Concept 1 design based on feedback from the CIC members and public from the January 22, 2020 CIC meeting.
At the October 28, 2020 CIC meeting, City staff presented the updated project cost and construction estimate to the CIC and public for feedback and comments.

Hello Rex,
Based off our review, Marina will agree to withdraw our bid for Main Street project.
We would like to point out that RMT’s entire bid is the same or equal value to our irrigation number in which we are comfortable that we bid this the correct way.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you and have a great weekend.

Good Morning Tino, Though it is unethical to share competitors quote but being a unique situation and moreover we have nothing to hide we don’t mind sharing the quote. We just overlooked deleting Marina as a sub-contractor and we want this mistake to get resolved amicably and in best interest of everyone. Please see attached. Your early response will be greatly appreciated.

Good morning Rex,
Thank you for the call yesterday. We’d like to help assist you in this matter I had to raise the matter with upper management.
So, in order for us to do that our Chief Estimator wants to take a look at RMT’s proposal first. Based on our long experience of 53 years in business we feel that the rate that’s shown on the bid results for RMT doesn’t quite add up. When you have a moment, please send RMT’s proposal for our review and we will inform as soon as possible with final decision.
Thank you.

SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Accept and Appropriate $250,000 in One Bay Area Grant Program Funds from Alameda County Transportation Commission for the Development of a Community Based Transportation Plan, Project 06940
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to accept and appropriate $250,000 from the Alameda County Transportation Commission to develop Haywards first Community Based Transportation Plan for areas that have been identified by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission as Equity Priority Communities.
SUMMARY
In January, City Staff applied for the 2022-2026 funding cycle to improve access and mobility for historically underserved and systemically marginalized groups, including people with low incomes, communities of color, and residents of Equity Priority Communities (EPC). This regional program requires the engagement of residents and community organizations in conducting the analysis and shaping Community Based Transportation Plan (CBTP) recommendations. The Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) Programs and Projects Committee (PPC) recommended approval of the allocation of funds on April 8, 2024. The ACTC Commission approved the allocation of funds on April 25, 2024.
