City Council Meeting
STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council Meeting - Jun 13 2023
Department: Police Department
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Michael Arellano, Police Captain;
☐ Receive and File ☒ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing
TITLE:
An Annual Review and Approval of the Annual Report for the Hemet Police Department's Specialized Equipment Use Policy, Per Ordinance 1998, Section 38-3
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:
Review and approve the Annual Report for the Hemet Police Department's Specialized Equipment Use Policy, per Ordinance 1998, Section 38-3.
BACKGROUND:
On September 30, 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 481 (AB481), which became effective January 1, 2022. The bill requires law enforcem ent agencies to create a Military Equipment Use Policy which must be adopted by local municipalities by May 1, 2022. Due to recent events in our nation, the public has asked that state and local leaders enact law enforcement reforms and statewide standards for safe de-escalation techniques.
AB481 identifies certain law enforcement equipment as “military equipment” and subsequently requires oversight from a governing body for purchase and usage. The governing body for the Hemet Police Department is the elected Hemet City Council and Mayor or their appointed body.
ANALYSIS:
The purpose of this request is to seek approval and support from the Hemet City Council in adopting the Hemet Police Department’s AB481 Specialized Equipment List of specialized equipment and the Hemet Police Department’s Specialized Equipment Use Policy. The Specialized Equipment Use Policy establishes an ongoing standard and policy for safe de -escalation techniques and the use and application of “military equipment”; which is attached as required by AB481.
15.G
The AB481 Specialized Equipment List, identifie s items currently deployed by law enforcement agencies in this country, as well as others throughout the State of California, and the nation. AB481 lists “military equipment” that is recognized and more appropriately identified by local, state, and federal law enforcement entities as specialized police equipment.
Specialized police equipment is used only by highly trained and experienced law enforcement professionals. The Hemet Police Department’s itemized list of specialized equipment is attached to this staff report, as required by AB 481. This itemized list of specialized equipment ranges from modernized tools, aerial drones, armored vehicles, and chemical agents, whose primary purpose is the preservation of human life during critical incidents. These c ritical incidents often involve the apprehension of high risk suspects, search and rescue, and immediate responses to catastrophic events. The use of this specialized equipment reduces liability to the department and the City. The use also reduces the potential for physical injury to the public and department personnel. It also allows for the application of de-escalation tactics during high -risk encounters with armed and violent suspects. The tools, equipment, and resources outlined in this specialized equipment list can function as a force-multiplier, in some cases. This helps to reduce manpower hours and is ultimately a cost savings to the city.
The Association of Riverside County Chiefs of Police and Sheriff (ARCCOPS) have endorsed the list of specialized equipment which is already in use across the county. For context, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office, and the Menifee and Murrieta Police Departments, over a span of many years, have acquired simil ar tools with approval from their respective Board of Supervisors and City Councils. This has been accomplished during the annual budget processes, or as individual board agenda item purchases. The Hemet Police Department has obtained similar approval from the City Council to acquire and use specialized equipment.
Through the Association of Riverside County Chiefs of Police and Sheriff's (ARCCOPS) mutual aid agreement, all cities within Riverside County, including the Hemet Police Department, have agreed to accept the use of each agency's Specialized/Military Equipment Use policy, related to any enforcement action throughout Riverside County.
As part of the Hemet Police Department’s mission to provide law enforcement services to the City of Hemet, it als o works in conjunction with the Menifee and Murrieta Police Departments to provide Special Weapons and Tactics services (S.W.A.T.). This is done under the guidance of an approved and consolidated Memorandum of Understanding between the three cities. This m emorandum of understanding allows for the shared use of resources and specialized equipment that are identified by AB481 as “military equipment.” The Department also operates in various capacities with various incorporated cities, as well as providing county-wide mutual aid services upon request.
The Hemet Police Department, and its Riverside County law enforcement partners, are responsible for ensuring the highest standard of public safety, the protection of its community, and the apprehension of criminal offenders. To help achieve and maintain the highest standard of public safety, it is important that the Hemet Police Department receive support from its local elected officials, who are committed to funding operational needs. This includes the approval t o purchase and finance necessary tools, protective gear, and specialized equipment for the purpose of helping protect and save lives and property. With the City Council’s partnership and approval, the Hemet Police Department can operate with the most advan ced technology, equipment, and resources available, and allowing the Hemet Police Department to be successful in their purpose of protecting and serving the community with increased effectiveness, preparedness, and proper lifesaving tactics. The continued use of specialized equipment will allow the Hemet Police Department to operate within the same professional and uniformed standards as other successful law enforcement agencies across the county, state, and country.
15.G
Although some of the specialized equipment an d resources, listed as “military equipment” in AB481 can be found in a military environment, the purpose for the equipment deployed by law enforcement is significantly different.
For reference, the Hemet Police Department’s Specialized Equipment Use Policy and Specialize d Equipment List are attached to this document.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Ordinance first introduced to City Council in April 2022 during a regular council meeting:
Action:
Carried 4-1 in approval, with Mayor Pro Tem Meyer Voting "NO" due to a request by Meyer to change the phrase "Military Equipment" to "Specialized Equipment" within the Ordinance and Hemet Police Department Use Policy 705.
STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:
GOAL ONE: QUALITY OF LIFE:
To ensure that Hemet is safe, clean, attractive and comfortable for all who live, work, and visit.
Objective 3: Increase Public Safety visibility and response.
GOAL THREE: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
To connect and participate in a constant dialogue between members of the community, City staff, and elected officials to promote togetherness and positivity.
Objective 1: Deliver messaging to the Community that connects, is consistent, and relevant.
Objective 2: Increase transparency for the public.
Objective 3: Increase the community's pride within the City.
GOAL FIVE: ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
To identify the work needed inside the City organization to effectively provide services to the community and ensure financial stability.
Objective 1: Operate in a financially sustainable manner.
Objective 2: Evaluate existing practices to ensure continuity with industry best practices.
Objective 3: Provide Council with policies that are consistent while lessening liabil ities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The approval and support from the Hemet City Council in adopting the Hemet Police Department's Specialized Equipment List and the Hemet Police Department's Specialized Equipment Use Policy is vital to the effectiveness of the Hemet Police Department in the resolution of critical incidents. Support from the City Council will significantly decrease the fiscal impact on Hemet residents and businesses, from the use of approved specialized equipment by the Hemet Police Department. While there is no fiscal impact to the adoption of this list, a considerable fiscal impact to Hemet residents and businesses may result from civil liability, if Hemet Police Department is not properly equipped with the specialized equipment and tools that are required to resolve critical incidents safely and effectively.
ALTERNATIVE(S):
15.G
The City Council may choose not to re-approve an ordinance approving the Hemet Police Department's current and future Specialized Equipment List and its Specialized Equipment Use Policy; however, the Hemet Police Department would not have the authority to establish an ongoing standard and policy safe de -escalation techniques and the use and application of "military equipment" as required by AB481.

PREFACE
The Hemet Police Department retains and utilizes a wide variety of equipment that falls under the definition of AB 481. This equipment is used to assist the Hemet Police Department in its ultimate mission which is the preservation of life.
The Hemet Police Department recognizes critical incidents are unpredictable and dynamic in nature. The retention of this equipment alone does not warrant its use for every incident. The equipment listed in this report assists with the safe and swift resolution of these incidents.
Policy and procedure dictate when the equipment may be deployed in the field, how it may be used, and which officers are authorized to use it. However, not all situations can be predicted. The need for the incident commander, on-scene supervisor, or officers to deploy and utilize the equipment in a manner not outlined within policy or procedure may be necessary for the preservation of life in a rapidly evolving incident.
Further, incident commanders, supervisors, officers, and specific specialized units can authorize the use of equipment for each specific incident based on the totality of the circumstances.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved AB 481 requiring law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of the applicable governing body by adoption of a military equipment use policy. The department is required to seek City Council approval of their military equipment use procedure by ordinance at a regular open meeting prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined.
The bill allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards. The ordinance is subject to an annual City Council review to determine whether, based on an annual military equipment report, the standards outlined in the approving ordinance have been met. The City Council may renew the authorizing ordinance, disapprove authorization for particular military equipment where standards have not been met, or require modifications to the military equipment use procedure to address any non-compliance with standards.
Finally, the bill requires the publication of the military/specialized equipment use procedure and the annual military/specialized equipment report on the department’s website. The military/specialized equipment use procedure must be posted on the website at least 30 days prior to the Council meeting.
Military/specialized equipment use was recorded by the Hemet Police Department for this report from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022, contemporaneous and in compliance with the timelines associated with the passage of AB 481 and corresponding City ordinance 38.3.

The grenade is designed primarily for indoor tactical situations to detect and/or dislodge a barricaded subject. This grenade will deliver approximately .70 oz. of agent during its 20-25 seconds burn time. The Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade can be used in crowd control as well as tactical deployment situations by Law Enforcement and Corrections but was designed with the barricade situation in mind. Its applications in tactical situations are primarily to detect and/or dislodge barricaded subjects. The purpose of the Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade is to minimize the risks to all parties through pain compliance, temporary discomfort, and/or incapacitation of potentially violent or dangerous subjects. The Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade provides the option of delivering a pyrotechnic chemical device indoors, maximizing the chemicals' effectiveness via heat and vaporization, while minimizing or negating the chance of fire to the structure.

APPENDIX D
Specialized equipment inventory known to be owned and/or utilized by law enforcement agencies with which the Hemet Police Department collaborates with and/or may require assistance from in a mutual -aid situation for law enforcement services.
MRAP Vehicle
Description: The MRAP is a large ballistic armored rescue vehicle deployed during search warrant services and primarily in open desert areas requiring extreme off-road capability. The MRAP is also used for large parcels of outdoor illegal marijuana grow enforcement. Operation requires a Class "B" driver's license. Capable of transporting personnel and equipment while providing them with armored protection from gunfire.
Usage: The MRAP can be deployed any time tactical operators determine that there is a need to move personnel and/or resources into areas in which they have reason to expect potential armed resistance requiring its protection.
Training Requirements: None. Equipment owned, maintained, and operated by another agency.
Fiscal Impact: None. Equipment owned, maintained, and operated by another agency.
Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD)
Description: LRAD is an acoustic hailing device used for emitting amplified public announcements during search warrant services, barricaded suspects, or tactical operations. The loud audible technology ensures broadcasted announcements are loud and clear while offering advantages over less amplified patrol car PA systems. The larger LRAD 1000 system is portable and can be used for criminal unrest and rioting to provide clear dispersal orders for unlawful assembly. LRAD can also be used for any public announcements or safety advisements during natural disasters or evacuations.
Usage: LRADs can only be deployed in accordance with all applicable State, Federal, and Local laws governing police use of force, crowd control, etc.
Training Requirements: None. Equipment owned, maintained, and operated by another agency.
Fiscal Impact: None. Equipment owned, maintained, and operated by another agency.

AB 481 Annual Report - 2022 Page 55 of 57
Flashbang Grenades and Explosive Breaching Tools
Description: Diversionary devices can release large amounts of stored energy in the form of heat, light, pressure, and noise. They are intended to temporarily distract, confuse, and disorient subjects. They can also be used as “attention-getting” devices. A diversionary device is ideal for distracting dangerous suspects during assaults, hostage rescue, room entry, or other high-risk arrest situations producing atmospheric over- pressure and brilliant white light, and as a result, can cause short-term (6-8 seconds) physiological/psychological sensory deprivation to give officers a tactical advantage.
Explosive breaching tools are used to breach fortified structures to establish a point of entry. Explosive charges are fashioned to produce little to no fragmentation at the time of detonation. Explosive breaching effectively reduces the time spent overcoming a fortified door or structure. The reduction in time mitigating a hardened structure increases officer safety and the element of surprise. Blast injuries are reduced by using low-yield explosives that mechanically overcome door frames and locking mechanisms.
Explosive breaching mandates extensive schooling and certification processes.
Usage: Diversionary devices and explosive breaching tools are only for official law enforcement purposes and according to State and Federal law regarding the use of force.
Training Requirements: None. Equipment owned, maintained, and operated by another agency.
Fiscal Impact: None. Equipment owned, maintained, and operated by another agency.

Department: City Attorney
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Steven Graham, City Attorney;
☐ Receive and File ☒ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing
TITLE:
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Amending Resolution No. 3944 and the Goals and Policies for the Use of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Amending the Goals and Policies for the Use of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council of the City of Hemet, California, adopted Reso lution No. 3944 which established the statement of goals and policies for the use of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (“Goals and Policies”) on August 23, 2005. On Page 3 of the Goals and Policies it states that it is undesirable that the a nnual special tax on any parcel pursuant to the Goals and Policies not exceed an amount equal to a total tax rate of 2%, including general property taxes and other special taxes and assessments.
The Goals and Policies as written do not contain an excepti on from the 2% limit for “default” assessments, which are assessments that have been approved but are not collected, unless the project defaults on an obligation to the City, such as an obligation to maintain parkway landscaping. Absent such an exception, the full amount of a “default” assessment must be included even though it is not likely that such an assessment will ever be charged.
ANALYSIS:
The City of Hemet has been successfully utilizing these "default" assessments to ensure adequate funding exists in the future if third parties default on their obligations to maintain property, such as
15.H
landscaping along parkways or maintaining community parks. While these assessments are approved, it is not anticipated that they will be levied unless the project or properties defaults on these obligations.
Having to include these "default" assessments in the total taxable amount under the Goals and Policies limits the ability of projects to include taxes and assessments for other vital public infrastructure such as schools, roadway improvements, and flood control.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council Meeting - Jun 13 2023
Department: City Attorney
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Steven Graham, City Attorney;
☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☒ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing
TITLE:
Discussion and Action on City Council District 1 Vacancy Including Potentially Calling a Special Election to Fill the Vacancy or Appointment of a Qualified Individual to Fill the Vacancy
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Council discuss and take one of the following actions:
(1) Appoint a qualified candidate to finish the remainder of the unexpired term of the District 1 City Council seat; or
(2) Call a Special Election to elect a qualified candidate to finish the rema inder of the unexpired term of the District 1 City Council seat (Draft Resolution Attached); or
(3) Discuss and take other such action as the City Council deems appropriate consistent with state and local law.
BACKGROUND:
On November 3, 2020, the Cit y of Hemet held a general election for the District 1 City Council office.
The County Registrar of Voters canvased the election returns and certified the results to the City Council on December 3, 2020, showing a total of 5,213 votes were cast in the elect ion. Karlee Meyer received the most votes with 1,765 votes (33%), and on December 8, 2020, the City Council declared and determined that Karlee Meyer was elected as a Member of the City Council for District 1. On April 17, 2023, Karlee Meyer passed away, a nd the City Council must fill the vacancy to complete the remainder of the term through December 2024.
On May 9, 2023, the City Council directed the City Clerk to solicit applications for an appointment process. The City Clerk created a City Council Candidate Application, noticed the Council District Seat One vacancy in the Press Enterprise, advertised the vacancy on the City's website and social media platforms, and coordinated an application & interview process.
16.A
On May 23, 2023, the City Council directed the City Clerk to consolidate a list of questions for consideration in the interview process for the qualified candidates. The following questions were identified:
1. Collaboration and teamwork are essential for effective governance. How would you approach building relationships and working with fellow council members, City staff, and the community to achieve common goals?
2. Are you prepared to spend the necessary time that it takes to review agendas and materials for City Council Meetings, Committees, and other functions?
3. What do you believe is the number one priority for bringing quality businesses to the City of Hemet? Where do we start?
4. Hemet has many buildings that are not kept up, and there is way too much trash. What is your solution for making our city presentable once again?
5. The City of Hemet has limited financial resources. As a council member, how would you prioritize budget allocations and ensure fiscal responsibility while meeting the needs of the city residents?
6. Hemet is a growing city with a diverse population. How would you ensure equitable access to City services, resources, and opportunities for all residents in the City of Hemet, regardless of their socioeconomic backgrounds?
7. Do you support or oppose the proposed County’s Recovery Village within the City limits?
8. The City Council often needs to make tough decisions that may have both positive and negative impacts. Can you provide an example of a difficult decision you have made in the past and how you approached it? What did you learn from that experience?
Potential candidates were invited to apply to the City Clerk's Office by June 2, 2023, at 5:30 p.m.
ANALYSIS:
The City Clerk solicited applications for qualified candidates for the District One City Council seat over three weeks (22 days). A total of 11 candidates submitted applications. Of the 11 applicants, seven (7) candidates were qualified and are current residents of District One. The eligible candidates provided proof of identification, and their voter registration was verified with the County of Riverside Registrar of Voter's Office. The qualified candidates are listed below:
George "Dick" Clark IV
Carole Kendrick
Norman Kyriss III
Terry Larned
Deni Antionette Mazingo
Roger Meyer
George Schaefer
Each candidate was notified that an interview would be conducted during the June 13, 2023, Regular City Council Meeting. The City Council may interview eligible candidates and appoint one candidate to fill the vacancy.
DISCUSSION:
Vacancy
16.A
The process for filling the vacancy is detailed in Government Code Section 36512. That section provides that the City Council shall, within 60 days from the commencement of the vacancy, either fill the vacancy by appointment or call a special election to fill the vacancy.
The City Council has 60 days from April 18, 2023, to decide whether to fill the vacancy by appointment or call a special election to fill the vacancy. The deadline for action is June 17, 2023. If no action is taken, the City Council will be required to call a special election.
Appointment
The City Council may fill the vacancy by appointment. A person appointed would finish the unexpired term for District 1. If the City Council chooses to appoint a person to the seat, the process for selecting a qualified candidate is in the discretion of the City Council, typically by either direct appointment or application.
For a direct appointment, the City Council could select a qualified candidate without engaging in an application process. Alternatively, the City Council could direct that applications be submitted and then establish a process for reviewing and selecting a qualified candidate from the applicants.
Hemet Municipal Code Section 2-44 and Government Code Section 34882 establish the requirements for appointment. To be considered qualified, a candidate must both reside in and be a registered voter of the City of Hemet - District 1.
Special Election
The City Council may also decide to call a special election instead of appointing. If called, the s pecial election would be held on the next regularly established election date not less than 114 days from the call of the election. As action on the vacancy must occur by June 17, 2023, under Elections Code 1000(e), the date of the special election would be November 7, 2023.
Costs of Special Election
At this time, there are no scheduled municipal elections for November 7, 2023 and it is uncertain if there will be other elections to consolidate a special election with. The Registrar of Voters, working w ith the City Clerk's Office, has estimated the cost of a special election at approximately $34,000. As there are no other elections to consolidate with at this time, if the actual costs exceed $34,000, the City will be required to pay those additional costs in their entirety.
STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:
GOAL FIVE: ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
To identify the work needed inside the City organization to effectively provide services to the community and ensure financial stability.
Objective 1: Operate in a financially sustainable manner.
Objective 2: Evaluate existing practices to ensure continuity with industry best practices.
Objective 3: Provide Council with policies that are consistent while lessening liabilities.
Objective 4: Increase employee retention by training and creating a positive workplace.
FISCAL IMPACT:
16.A
The current estimated cost for a special election is $34,000.
ALTERNATIVE(S):
The City Council may also decide to call a special election instead of appointing. If called, the special election would be held on the next regularly established election date not less than 114 days from the call of the election. As action on the vacancy must occur by June 17, 2023, under Elections Code 1000(e), the date of the special election would be November 7, 2023.
