SUBJECT: Engineer’s Report MD -2: Adopt a Resolution to Approve the Final Engineer's Report, Confirm the Maximum Base Assessment Rate, Confirm the Fiscal Assessment Rate, Confirm the Assessment Diagram, Order the Levy and Collection of Fiscal Assessment; and Adopt a Resolution to Approve Funding Recommendations and Appropriate Revenue and Expenditure Budgets for Maintenance District No. 2 - Eden Shores Storm Water Buffer and Facilities, for Fiscal Year 2026

RECOMMENDATION

That That the City Council adopts two resolutions (Attachment II, III):

1. Approving the Engineer’s Report,

2. Confirming the Maximum Base Assessment (MBA) amounts,

3. Confirming the Fiscal Assessment Rate,

4. Confirming the Assessment Diagram,

5. Ordering the Levy and Collection of the Fiscal Assessment,

6. Approving the Funding Recommendation, and

7. Appropriating Revenue and Expenditure budgets for Maintenance District No. 2 for Fiscal Year 2026.

SUMMARY

Maintenance District No. 2 (MD No.2) was established in 2003 to fund the operation, maintenance, and replacement of a water buffer and storm water pre-treatment pond that borders the Eden Shores residential community. Property owners in MD No.2 are also property owners in the Landscape and Lighting Assessment District 96-1, zone 10. Based on staff’s review of the district’s financial position, staff is recommending an increase to the FY 2026 assessment rate from the previous year, from $272.17 to $280.33 If the City Council adopts the attached two resolutions (Attachment II and III), the Final Engineer’s Report (Attachment IV) will be approved, the revenue and expenditure budgets will be appropriated, and the final Assessor’s tax roll will be prepared and filed with the County Auditor’s Office allowing the assessments to be included in the FY 2026 tax roll.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION

In compliance with Section 10-10.25 of the Hayward Municipal Code, an annual Engineer’s Report is required to be submitted to the City Council for MD No.2 and is included as Attachment IV.

On June 24, 2003, by way of Resolution 03-102, the City Council ordered the formation of MD No.2 to provide for the maintenance and operation of a water buffer and storm water pre- treatment facility. The water buffer consists of landscaping, recirculating pumps and filters, maintenance roads, a pedestrian bridge, and anti-predator and perimeter fencing. The benefit zone includes three residential tracts in Eden Shores (7317, 7360, 7361) totaling 534 homes.

The funds collected from the property owners within MD No.2 pay for the annual operation and maintenance, along with contributing to a capital reserve fund, which will be utilized to repair or replace sections of fencing, pumps, or bridge components in the future.

A 2010 agreement between the City and the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Flood Control District) vests responsibility for the annual maintenance and operation of the pre-treatment storm water pond with the Flood Control District. The 2010 agreement states that the Flood Control District concurred with the acceptance of the pond, subject to MD No.2 providing the Flood Control District with sufficient funds to operate, maintain, and provide for capital replacement and modifications that may become necessary for the optimal performance of the pond.

Based on the staff’s review of the district’s financial position, staff is recommending an increase to the FY 2026 assessment rate from the previous year, from $272.17 to $280.33.

FISCAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund from this recommendation because expenditures are to be funded dir ectly by assessment rates levied against each benefited property in MD No.2.

STRATEGIC ROADMAP

This is a routine operational item and does not relate to any of the three Council Strategic Initiatives.

PUBLIC CONTACT

City staff: 1) mailed a postcard notice to property owners to let them know of their recommended FY 2026 assessment rate, and to alert them to three Public meetings where they could provide input (May 28, June 3, and June 24); 2) held a virtual community meeting via Zoom on May 28; and 3) will publish a legal notice in the East Bay Times on or before June 14, 2025.

NEXT STEPS

If the City Council adopts the two attached resolutions (Attachment II and III), the Final Engineer’s Report (Attachment IV) will be approved, the revenue and expenditure budgets will be appropriated, and the final Assessor’s tax roll (Attachment V) will be prepared and filed with the County Auditor’s Office allowing the assessments to be included in the FY 2026 tax roll.

Introduction
Overview
On April 16, 2002, by Resolution No. 02‐043, the City Council approved the Final Map of Tract 7317 for a 114‐l
ot residential subdivision, with 109 single‐family homes, located on the northerly side of Eden Shores Boulevard and westerly of the Union Pacific Railroad.

O
n November 26, 2002, by Resolution No. 02‐171, the City Council approved the Final Map of Tract 7361 for a 120 lot residential subdivision, with 116 single‐family homes, located on the southerly side of Eden Shores Boulevard and westerly of the Union Pacific Railroad.

O
n June 3, 2003, by Resolution No. 03‐083, the City Council approved the Final Map for Tract 7360, for a 318
‐l
ot residential subdivision, with 309 single‐family homes located on the southwesterly side of Eden Shores Drive and westerly of the Union Pacific Railroad. The additional lots in each subdivision, 27 in total, will be landscaped areas, parks, wetlands or buffer areas.

C
onditions of approval for Tracts No. 7317, 7360 and 7361, included provisions for construction of a water buffer channel and storm‐water pretreatment pond, masonry walls, anti‐predator fences, and landscaping within the proposed development area. Maintena nce District No. 2 provides a funding source to operate and maintain these improvements, including the furnishing of water and electrical energy along with debris removal, weeding, trimming, and pest control spraying.

On June 24, 2003, by Resolution No. 03‐102, the City Council ordered the formation of Maintenance District No. 2 to provide the funding for the operation and maintenance of these facilities. The FY 2004 Final Engineer’s Report (formation report) included a FY 2004 budget which proposed $343,875.00 in expenditures at buildout for an anticipated 525 assessable parcels which equated to Maximum Base Assessment (MBA) Rate of $655.00 per parcel. This MBA rate which may be levied is increased each fiscal year by the prior year’s change in the Consumer Price Index.

Legislative Analysis
Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote on Taxes Act," which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title

City of Hayward
Maintenance District No. 2
Engineer’s Report FY 2026

Page 2 ends

refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 established new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.

Proposition 218 stated that any existing assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems, or vector control on or before November 6, 1996, shall be exempt from the procedures and approval process of Proposition 218, unless the assessments are increased.

Proposition 218 defines increased, when applied to an assessment, as a decision by an agency that does either of the following:
 Increases any applicable rate used to calculate the assessment.  Revises the methodology by which the assessment is calculated, if that revision results in an increased amount being levied on any person or parcel.

The formation methodology used to calculate the MBA that could be levied in any given year allows the MBA from the prior year to be increased by the prior year’s change in the Consumer Price Index. Therefore, based upon the review of the City Attorney, imp osing the assessment adjustment each year based upon the prior year’s increase in the Consumer Price Index does not require Proposition 218 proceedings.

Noticing, Public Comment, and Public Hearing
Noticing and information regarding this report were provided via the following methods: 1) a notice was mailed to all affected property owners to provide detail of their recommended FY 2026 assessment rate and to alert them to three community meetings where they could provide input (May 28, June 03, June 24); and 2) published a legal notice in the East Bay Times on or before June 13, 2025.

On June 24, 2025, the City is proposing to hold a public hearing to provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. After the public hearing, the Council may adopt a resolution setting the annual assessment amounts as originally proposed or as modified. Following the adoption of this resolution, the fin al assessor’s roll will be prepared and filed with the Alameda County Auditor’s Office to be included on the FY 2026 tax roll. Payment of the assessment for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes.

All funds collected through the assessment must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this report.

Fiscal Year 202 6 Estimate of Cost and Budget
Estimate of Costs
Chapter 10, Article 10, Section 10‐10.25 of the Hayward Municipal Code and as supplemented by the provisions of Chapter 26 of Part 3 of Division 7 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California provides that the total cost of operation, mainte nance and servicing of the water buffer channel, water treatment pond, masonry walls, anti‐predator fences and landscaping can be recovered by the District. Incidental expenses including administration of the District, engineering fees, legal fees and all other costs associated with these improvements can also be included.

Tract No. 7317, 7360 & 7361
Formed: June 24, 2003
Resolution Number: 03‐102
FY 2026
Maximum Base Assessment Rate: $1,183.42
Assessment Amount per Parcel: $280.33
Number of Parcels: 534
Assessment Income: $149,699

The following is an overview of the FY 2026 assessment district:
• Ma
ximum Base Assessment (MBA) Rate: was increased from the prior year’s MBA rate of $1,152.44 to $1,183.42 by applying CPI‐U fo
r the San Francisco‐O
akland‐H
ayward
MSA (2.69% for the period February 2024 to February 2025).

• A
nnual CPI increase: the MBA amount can increase annually based upon the prior year’s change in the CPI.

• Assessment revenue: the FY 2026 amount needed to operate and maintain the facilities and contribute to the capital reserve is: $149,699.

• Annual assessment charge: each of the 534 parcels shall be apportioned an equal share of the total assessment for this zone as the special benefit derived by the individual parcels is indistinguishable from each other. The FY 2026 per parcel charge will increase from the previous year from $2272.17 to $280.33. This amount is below the MBA and is sufficient for maintaining levels of service and for keeping a reserve balance. In future years, if there is a need for additional funds, the assessment amount may be increased up to the MBA amount.

• Proposition 218: Future increases in the assessment amount above the MBA amount would require the noticing and balloting of property owners per the requirements of Proposition 218.

Method of Apportionment
Chapter 10, Article 10, Section 10‐10.25 of the Hayward Municipal Code and as supplemented by the provisions of Chapter 26 of Part 3 of Division 7 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of water buffer channels, water treatment ponds, masonry walls, predator fences and landscaping.

Proposition 218 requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. In addition, Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportion al special benefit conferred on the property.

Because assessments are levied on the basis of benefit, they are not considered a tax, and, therefore, are not governed by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution.

Article XIIID of the California Constitution provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements, and rights‐of‐ways.

The properties benefiting from the operation, maintenance and servicing of water buffer channels, water treatment ponds, masonry walls, predator fences and landscaping consist of the 534 single‐ family residential lots located within Tracts No. 7317, 7360 and 7361.

Each of the 534 single‐family residential lots receives a special benefit in that they are able to be developed because protection of the adjacent open space has been provided through the construction of these improvements. The special benefit derived by the individual parcels is indistinguishable between parcels. Therefore, all residential parcels derive the same benefit and the corresponding method of assessment for residential land uses is based on a per parcel basis.

The estimated Fiscal Year 202 6 proposed assessment revenue is $ 149,699. The proposed assessment for the District for Fiscal Year 202 6 is $ 280.33 per parcel, which is an increased amount compared to the previous fiscal year’s assessment. The MBA amount for the District is subject to an annual adjustment equal to the change in the applying CPI‐U for the San Francisco‐ Oakland‐Hayward MSA from the previous year. The MBA amount for the District for Fiscal Year 2026 has been increased from the previous year’s MBA amount of $ 1,183.42 by 2.69%, which is equal to the percentage increase in CPI‐U from February 2024 to February 2025. The MBA amount for the District for Fiscal Year 2026 is $1,183.42.

SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Approving the Hayward Police Department’sAnnual Military Equipment Use Report for April 2024 Through March 2025 and Renewing Ordinance 22-06 Adopting Military Equipment Use Policy No. 706 in Compliance with Assembly Bill No. 481

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council: (1) Review the Hayward Police Department’s (HPD) Annual Military Equipment Use Report for April 2024 through March 2025 (Attachment III); and (2) Adopt a resolution (Attachment II) renewing HPD’s Military Equipment Use Policy No. 706 (Attachment IV) and Ordinance 22-06 (Attachment V). The resolution authorizes the HPD to continue to use the equipment in its inventory (Attachment VI), in accordance with applicable law and policy, and to purchase additional and/or replacement equipment.

SUMMARY
AB 481, which went into effect on January 1, 2022, requires California law enforcement agencies to obtain the approval of a Military Equipment Use Policy via the adoption of an Ordinance by their respective governing bodies before funding, acquiring, or using law enforcement equipment now defined under AB 481 as “military equipment.” Annually, thereafter, law enforcement agencies must submit a report to the Council on the use of Military Equipment for that year. The Council must then, on an annual basis, review the annual report submitted by law enforcement pursuant to Gov’tCode § 7071(e)(2), and approve the funding, acquisition and use of each type of military equipment. Subject to that review and approval, the Council must also vote on a resolution to renew Ordinance 22-06.

In this case, the Council adopted Ordinance 22-06, approving HPD’sMilitary Equipment Use Policy No. 706, on July 5, 2022. In accordance with AB 481, the Hayward Police Department then submitted its first annual Military Equipment Use Report to the City Council on June 20, 2023, at a regularly scheduled City Council meeting, at which time the resolution renewing Ordinance 22-06 was approved.

On June 25, 2024, the Council was presented with HPD’sAnnual Military Equipment Use Report for the period of April 2023 through March 2024, as well as Ordinance No 22-06, which approved of HPD Military Equipment Use Policy No. 706. The Council approved the policy through the adoption of the CITY OF HAYWARD Printed on 6/20/2025Page 1 of 2

File #:LB 25-020
Military Equipment Use Policy No. 706. The Council approved the policy through the adoption of the ordinance at a regular meeting where public comment was allowed. In accordance with AB 481, the proposed policy was made available on HPD’s website 30 days prior to June 25, 2024.

Now, the Council is again being presented with this year’s annual Military Equipment Use Report and being asked to approve a resolution that does the following:

1. Review HPD’s Annual Military Equipment Use Report for April 2024 - March 2025.

2. Adopt a resolution renewing the HPD’s Military Equipment Use Policy No. 706.

3. Adopt a resolution renewing Ordinance 22-06, authorizing the continued use of this equipment in accordance with applicable law and policy.

4. Adopt a resolution authorizing the purchase of additional and/or replacement equipment.

Notably, if Council determines, under No. 1, that a certain type of military equipment identified in the annual Military Equipment Use Report has not complied with the standards for approval, the Council must either disapprove a renewal of the authorization for that type of military equipment or require modifications to the military equipment use policy in a manner that will resolve the lack of compliance.

Additionally, if Council does not renew Ordinance 22-06, the HPD must cease the use of all equipment defined as “military equipment,” which would be detrimental to the HPD and the safety of community members and officers alike, as explained further below.

BACKGROUND

On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed a series of eight (8) pieces of policing reform legislation aimed at increasing transparency around policing. AB 481 was one of those pieces of legislation. AB 481, which became effective on January 1, 2022, was created to address transparency issues in the funding, acquisition, and use of law enforcement equipment that lawmakers have deemed to be “military equipment.” AB 481, codified in California Government Code section(s) 7070 through 7075, required law enforcement agencies to “commence a governing body approval process,” for the adoption of a military equipment use policy by ordinance, in a public forum, by May 1, 2022, to continue the use of previously acquired “military equipment.” The bill also required approval, by the governing body in a public forum, before a law enforcement agency could fund, acquire, or use new “military equipment.”

Moreover, the bill requires annual public review and approval actions by the governing body to continue the use of “military equipment.” The bill also required the City to host an annual community meeting regarding the agency’s use of “military equipment” under the bill.

These requirements are more specifically outlined below.

The term “military equipment,” as used in the legislation, does not necessarily indicate equipment used by the military. Items deemed to be “military equipment,” include, but are not limited to equipment such as unmanned vehicles, command and control vehicles, armored vehicles, pepper balls, less lethal shotguns, and long-range acoustic devices.

These types of equipment, as well as others considered “military equipment” under AB 481, are commonly used, and employed by law enforcement agencies across the country to enhance community members’ and officers’ safety.

AB 481 “Military Equipment”:

The following law enforcement equipment is now deemed to be “military equipment” as defined in AB 481 and Government Code §7070(c):

1. Unmanned, remotely piloted, powered aerial or ground vehicles.

2. Mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles or armored personnel carriers.

3. Humvees, two and one-half-ton trucks, five-ton trucks, or wheeled vehicles that have a breaching or entry apparatus attached.

4. Tracked armored vehicles that provide ballistic protection to their occupants and utilize a tracked system instead of wheels for forward motion.

5. Command and control vehicles that are either built or modified to facilitate the operational control and direction of public safety units.

6. Weaponized aircraft, vessels, or vehicles of any kind.

7. Battering rams, slugs, and breaching apparatuses that are explosive in nature.

8. Firearms of .50 caliber or greater. Standard issue shotguns excluded.

DISCUSSION

By its very nature, law enforcement is an increasingly difficult and dangerous job. History has shown that armed encounters between law enforcement officers in the U.S and heavily armed, violent offenders can be traced back to the prohibition era of the 1920s. During this time, communities were impacted by offenders and organized crime groups who were often armed with automatic weapons, wearing body armor, and using military style tactics to commit offenses (e.g., bank robberies, shootings, etc.). Since that time, law enforcement officers continued encountering heavily armed individuals and groups who were willing to engage in armed confrontations. Traditional methods of law enforcement response placed officers and community members at risk, so new equipment and methods of response had to be developed.

In addition to increased contacts with heavily armed, violent offenders, high-profile international, state, and local incidents contributed to the evolution of law enforcement response and equipment. While this is certainly not an exhaustive list, below are several

Page 7 of 17 ends

incidents that led to changes in methods of response and equipment for law enforcement agencies in the United States, including the HPD:

- Los Angeles, California: In the 1960s, the first Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team was formed in response to several incidents involving snipers firing upon community members and officers during rioting.
- Munich, Germany: Multiple Israeli athletes were killed during a hostage taking in the Olympic Village during the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany. During a failed rescue attempt, 9 hostages were killed as the German Police were not trained or equipped to deal with such a sophisticated threat.
- Hayward, California: In the mid-1970s, HPD officers responded to a call for service and were fired upon by a subject armed with a high-powered rifle. A 72-hour stand-off ensued after the subject barricaded himself inside his residence and HPD officers were not trained or equipped to deal with such a sophisticated threat. Some HPD officers were sent to retrieve their personal hunting rifles as they were not able to get close enough to the residence without being fired upon. This led to the creation of the HPD’s Special Response Unit (SRU).
- Los Angeles, California: Two subjects, armed with high-power rifles and body armor, robbed a bank in the North Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles. LAPD officers, armed only with pistols, revolvers, and shotguns, were considerably outmatched as the subjects were armed with AK-47 and AR-15 style rifles, which can defeat body armor. In total, nearly 2,000 rounds were fired, 12 LAPD officers were shot, eight community members were shot, and both subjects were ultimately killed after LAPD officers retrieved rifles from a nearby firearms dealer. After this incident, every law enforcement agency in the United States moved to equip officers with carbine rifles. - Uvalde, Texas: A subject, armed with an AR-15 style rifle, shot his grandmother, then drove to an elementary school where he shot multiple students and school staff members in one of the deadliest school shootings in United States history. In total, 19 students and two teachers were killed, and 17 others were critically wounded. The law enforcement response is being investigated by the Department of Justice and has sparked debate regarding methods of response and “military equipment.”

In addition to these historical events, recent national events have highlighted the need to continually evaluate methods of response and to maintain “military equipment” in the HPD’s inventory, including the following:

- Monterey Park, California (January 21, 2023): A subject, in the aftermath of a Lunar New Year Celebration, entered a dance studio and shot multiple people with a “variant of a MAC-11” with an extended, high-capacity magazine. In total, 11 people died and 10 were injured.
- Half Moon Bay, California (January 23, 2023): A subject shot and killed 5 men and 2 women, and injured another man, at 2 separate locations before being located in his vehicle and arrested by San Mateo County Sheriff’s Deputies.

Page 8 of 17 ends

According to The Gun Violence Archive, there have been 133 mass shootings in the United States this year (as of June 05, 2025), which the website describes as shooting incidents where at least four people were killed or wounded.

Additionally, the following statistics were shared during several community engagement events:

- According to a study published by the FBI in June 2025, there were 24 active shooter events in the United States in 2024 (a 50% decrease from 2023). From 2020 to 2024, the FBI designated 223 active shooter incidents. This represented a 70% increase in active shooter incidents from the previous five-year period (2015-2019). - HPD officers responded to 210 calls for service in 2024 where a firearm was shot, either striking a person or an object (car, residence), attempting to strike a person and missing, or reported being heard by a community member, a 12% increase from 2023. - HPD officers seized 227 firearms in the City of Hayward in 2024.

Now, perhaps more than ever, law enforcement officers must have access to equipment that will allow them to perform their duties safely and to address sophisticated threats like those highlighted in the examples above. Much of the equipment listed in AB No. 481 and included in the HPD’s inventory is to address some of the critical incidents our community members expect us to safely resolve, such as:

- High-risk offender apprehension
- Barricaded subjects
- Hostage rescue
- Dignitary protection
- Crowd control.
- Active shooter response

At the same time, it is critically important that a balance is struck between providing law enforcement officers with the equipment they need and the need to ensure accountability for its use. It is incumbent upon law enforcement agencies to develop appropriate policies, procedures, and training to ensure such equipment is being used properly. The HPD’s equipment inventory (Attachment VI) is governed by policies and procedures and can only be used by HPD officers who have met all training requirements. Much of the equipment listed in HPD’s inventory can only be used by members of the SRU during critical incidents and only after SRU members have been trained and have shown proficiency.

It should be noted that much of the equipment listed in AB No. 481 has never been in HPD’s inventory nor has HPD sought to acquire it. These categories include:

- Category 3 (Humvees, two and one-half-ton trucks, five-ton trucks, or wheeled vehicles that have a breaching or entry apparatus attached) - Category 4 (Tracked armored vehicles that provide ballistic protection to their occupants and utilize a tracked system instead of wheels for forward motion) - Category 6 (Weaponized aircraft, vessels, or vehicles of any kind.)

Page 9 of 17 ends

- Category 8 (Firearms of .50 caliber or greater. Standard issue shotguns excluded.) - Category 9 (Ammunition of .50 caliber or greater. Standard issue shotgun ammunition is excluded.)
- Category 11 (Any firearm or firearm accessory that is designed to launch explosive projectiles.)
- Category 13 (Taser Shockwave, microwave weapons, water cannons, and the Long- Range Acoustic Device (LRAD).

Community Feedback

During previous conversations and written feedback regarding AB No. 481, the Military Equipment Use Policy, the HPD equipment inventory, and the HPD’s Annual Military Equipment Use Report, there were several themes and concerns that surfaced. These themes and concerns included the following:

- Concerns Regarding the Inclusion of CS (commonly referred to as “tear gas”) in the HPD’s inventory:

Page 11 of 17 ends

CS, or “tear gas”, is equipment commonly possessed by law enforcement agencies across California and the United States. It is a less-lethal force option designed for use during high-risk incidents, including riots and certain critical incidents (e.g., barricaded subjects, tactical operations, etc.). The use of CS during such high-risk incidents is strictly governed by HPD policy, AB No 48, and California Penal Code section 13652 and can only be used during qualifying incidents with the approval of an Incident Commander. Additionally, there is no effective alternative to CS the HPD, or any other California law enforcement agency, is aware of.

- Concerns Regarding the International Chemical Weapons Convention Ban on the Use of Riot Control Agents (RCAs) During Warfare:

According to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the 1925 Geneva Convention led to the adoption of the Geneva Gas Protocol as international law and prohibits the use of asphyxiating, poisonous, or “any other” gases during war (the protocol does not specifically list CS or other gases). Additionally, according to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the International Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) confirmed the restriction of using “riot control agents (RCAs),” which are defined as “any chemical…which can produce rapidly in humans’ sensory irritation or disabling physical effects which disappear within a short time following termination of exposure (Article II (7)),” as methods of warfare.

However, Article II (9) provides for “Purposes Not Prohibited Under This Convention” and includes an exception for the use of RCAs by law enforcement for domestic riot control purposes (Article II (9)(d)), among others. Additionally, the UN, including the United States Military, has used RCAs during riots while assigned to peacekeeping missions. Further, the United States Naval Handbook acknowledges the international agreement to prohibit the use of RCAs as “methods of warfare,” but notes the CWC does not define that term (Section 10.3.2). The United States Naval Handbook also provides for the use of RCAs, with presidential approval, in “defensive military modes to save lives,” including “riot control situations in areas under effective U.S. military control, to include rioting prisoners of war (Section 10.3.2.1).”

- Concerns Regarding the HPD’s Use of “Military Equipment” During Protests/Demonstrations:

There exists a legal distinction between a protest or demonstration, which is a public expression of disapproval and is an individual right granted under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution’s Bill of Rights, and a riot. According to the California Penal Code Section 404(a), a riot is defined as “any use of force or violence, disturbing the public peace, or any threat to use force or violence, if accompanied by immediate power of execution, by two or more persons acting together, and without the rule of law.” As such, the HPD would not use “military equipment,” including CS, during a protest or demonstration nor would “military equipment” be used indiscriminately on a crowd. Additionally, there exist HPD policies that restrict the use of “military equipment” during protests or demonstrations as a

Page 12 of 17 ends

matter of routine and several statutes that clearly define the circumstances under which CS can be used in a riot (e.g., AB No. 48, California Penal Code Section 13652, etc.).

- Concerns Regarding the HPD’s “Military Equipment” Inventory Volume and Current Deployment Model:

The HPD’s equipment inventory volume, particularly the number of carbine rifles, rounds of ammunition, and CS/OC munitions, are based upon annual anticipated operational and training needs. Because the HPD cannot predict when or where critical incidents will happen, the HPD has carbine rifles in every patrol vehicle and motorcycle in the field, which has been a standard deployment model for years among California law enforcement agencies. In addition, the HPD maintains a pool of carbine rifles for training and to replace those pulled from service for maintenance or repairs.

Ammunition needs are assessed annually and take into account projected training, including continuous professional training (CPT), SRU training, hiring (lateral officers and trainees in the academy), etc. CS/OC munitions have a five-year shelf life and, once they reach that point, they are used for training and replaced. The HPD often maintains overstock on these items as experiencing supply chain, shipping, or product manufacturing delays is commonplace, as we compete with other law enforcement agencies and the military when purchasing this equipment.

- Authorization for the Use of “Military Equipment”:

Most of the items included in the HPD’s equipment inventory are specifically maintained and used by the SRU during high-risk, critical incidents. Like the HPD, the SRU has a hierarchical structure, with a Commander (Lieutenant), Assistant Commander (Sergeant), and Team Leaders (Sergeants). When critical incidents occur, including those that don’t rise to the level of an SRU activation, the HPD utilizes the Incident Command Structure (ICS) where a Lieutenant is designated as the Incident Commander with operational control over HPD’s response. Authorization to use the “military equipment,” including the robot, UAS, command and control vehicles, breaching shotgun, NFDDs, chemical agents, or specialty impact munitions, rests with the Incident Commander and/or the Tactical Commander.

- Requests to Incorporate Exclusionary Language and Relevant Policy/Statute References in the Military Equipment Use Policy:

During the community engagement events referenced above, two specific requests surfaced regarding the HPD’s Military Equipment Use Policy (Policy 706). The first was to incorporate exclusionary language in the Military Equipment Use Policy to address the categories of “military equipment” not contained in the HPD’s inventory. In response to this request, the HPD included Section 706.6 (Military Equipment Exclusions) and incorporates language preventing the HPD from seeking to acquire, borrow, or use items that fall with in Category 3, Category 4, Category 6, Category 8, Category 9, Category 11, and Category 13 as outlined in AB No. 481. The second

Page 13 of 17 ends

request was to specifically reference other relevant laws and/or policies in the Military Equipment Use Policy. In response to this request, Section 706.2 incorporates language requiring “military equipment” be used in accordance with all other applicable policies and laws. Those specifically referenced include HPD Policy 300 (Use of Force), HPD Policy 302 (Control Devices and Techniques), AB No. 48, and California Penal Code Section 13652.

Energetic Breaching Program

In the interest of transparency, the HPD intends to expand emergency response capabilities by implementing an Energetic Breaching Program. The primary use of energetic breaching is to provide an immediate, efficient, and strategic entry into a fortified structure during an emergency operation. This calculated entry is designed to permit swift ingress and allow Special Response Unit (SRU) personnel to quickly locate and assess potential threats concealed in enclosed structures. Effective breaching techniques allow SRU personnel immediate entry with minimal risk to themselves, the community members and/or victims, and offenders. Fortified structures present a unique challenge, and they cannot be breached with HPD’s current equipment capabilities. An example of a fortified structure is highlighted in the photographs below, which were taken in the aftermath of a previous SRU response:

Page 14 of 17 ends
Page 15 of 17 ends
Page 16 of 17 ends

Energetic breaching is a technique involving the minimum amount of material needed to enter a location. SRU personnel assigned as breachers shall consider the safety of all people, including community members and/or victims, offenders, and the SRU personnel conducting the operation when developing a breaching plan. Energetic breaching is used when there are no other reasonable alternatives to rapidly gain access to a location. Energetic breaching is only used when time is of the essence to preserve life. Without energetic breaching as an option, SRU personnel may not be able to gain access to a location in a timely manner, therefore increasing the risk to the community members and/or victims.

The implementation of an energetic breaching program will allow HPD to maintain operational control at critical incidents, such as hostage rescues or active shooter incidents, without having to rely on outside agencies for support and resources. This program will also eliminate the potential unavailability of other outside agencies or the time delay associated with requesting assistance during a rapidly evolving incident, allowing HPD to be self- sufficient and in complete control of the operational response.

This program is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative to achieve the objective of protecting the lives of community members and/or victims, HPD Officers, and offenders during rare yet potentially catastrophic critical incidents.

FISCAL IMPACT

The items listed below are needed to replace, supplement, or upgrade an item currently in the HPD’s inventory. All purchases have been forecasted and will be funded through the HPD’s Operating and Capital Improvement Program budgets.

- UAS (2) 3,000
- Carbine Rifles (11) 20,000
- Specialty Ammunition 50,000
- NFDD’s (12) 1,017
- Energetic Breaching Tools 8,300
TOTAL $82,317

EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW:

The term “military equipment,” as used in the legislation, does not necessarily indicate equipment used by the military. Items deemed to be “military equipment,” include, but are not limited to equipment such as unmanned vehicles, command and control vehicles, armored vehicles, less lethal shotguns, and noise flash diversionary devices. These types of equipment, as well as others considered “military equipment” under AB No. 481, are commonly used, and employed by law enforcement agencies across the country to enhance community members' and officers' safety.

It is the policy of the Hayward Police Department that members of the department comply with the provisions of Government Code § 7071 with respect to qualifying "military equipment." "Military equipment" shall be used by members of the Department who have completed applicable training, including training required by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST). "Military equipment," which has been approved for use by the governing body, shall be used in accordance with all other applicable department policies and laws. These policies and laws include, but are not limited to:

Hayward Police Department Policy 300 (Use of Force)
Hayward Police Department Policy 302 (Control Devices and Techniques) California Assembly Bill No. 481
California Penal Code Section 13652 (Use of Kinetic Energy Projectiles and Chemical Agents) The Hayward Police Department acknowledges the historical use of certain police equipment to intimidate and oppress certain communities and groups more than others, including those that are defined by a common race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, income level, sexual orientation, or political perspective. As such, this policy expressly prohibits the use of "military equipment" on individuals or groups solely based on actual or perceived characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, economic status, age, cultural group, or disability.

BACKGROUND - ASSEMBLY BILL 481:

On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed a series of eight (8) pieces of policing reform legislation aimed at increasing transparency around policing. AB No. 481, authored by Assembly Member David Chiu (D-San Francisco), was one of those pieces of legislation. AB No. 481, which became effective on January 1, 2022, was created to address transparency issues in the funding, acquisition, and use of law enforcement equipment that lawmakers have designated as "military equipment."
AB No. 481, codified in Government Code section(s) 7070 through 7075, requires law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of the applicable governing body (City Council), by adoption of a written Military Equipment Use Policy, via ordinance, at a public hearing, before law enforcement agencies may take certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined by the legislature.

Once approval is granted, AB No. 481 requires law enforcement agencies to submit an annual Military Equipment Use Report to the City Council, summarizing the use of each type of equipment, complaints received, internal audits and information about violations of the Military Equipment Use Policy, the cost of military equipment, and other similar information. This annual Military Use Report must be posted to the law enforcement agency’s website and the law enforcement agency must hold at least one community engagement meeting for the general public to discuss the Report. On an annual basis, the City Council must review the Military Use Policy and ordinance as well as the Military Equipment Use Report and vote on whether to renew the ordinance.
