STAFF REPORT
Document ID: 2026-527
Category: Consent Item
Department: Human Resources
Department Head: Kristen Smith, Human Resources Director Meeting Date: September 16, 2026
SUBJECT:

AUTHORIZATION TO AMEND THE AUTHORIZED POSITION ALLOCATION SCHEDULE BY ADDING ONE (1.0 FTE) FULL-TIME POLICE OFFICER AS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

RESOURCE OFFICER (SRO) AND AUTHORIZE A BUDGET APPROPRIATION FUNDED BY THE BSCC PROPOSITION 64 GRANT (AGREEMENT NO. BSCC 1445-26).

BACKGROUND:

The Imperial Police Department currently operates with 24 sworn personnel, managing primary patrol coverage, investigation, and community policing across a rapidly expanding population of approximately 22,000 residents. While the Department currently maintains a full-time SRO at the high school level and a part-time SRO at the middle school level, there is no dedicated law enforcement officer assigned to the City’s elementary schools.

Consequently, incidents at three elementary schools located within the City of Imperial have historically been managed strictly on a call-for-service basis. This reactive stance diverts patrol units from street operations and leaves campuses without regular, proactive engagement. Local administrators and officers have documented critical emerging challenges among young students, including behavioral health needs, trauma, bullying, family instability, and instances of cannabis/THC vaping identified in youth as young as nine years old.

To address this gap without impacting the General Fund, the Department submitted an application under the State of California Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant Program (Cohort 4), administered by the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC). The City of Imperial was awarded $792,781.00 in fully reimbursable, non-supplanting state grant funding under Project Purpose Area 1 (PPA 1: Public Safety/Enforcement).

On August 27, 2026, the City Council, through Resolution 2026-60, formally accepted the BSCC Proposition 64 Grant award (Agreement No. BSCC 1445-26). The action before Council tonight solely requests authorization to formally add the 1.0 FTE Police Officer position to the City’s Authorized Position Allocation Schedule and establish the corresponding personnel expenditure appropriation for the current fiscal year.

The grant funds a 1.0 FTE Police Officer dedicated to rotating among Ben Hulse, T.L. Waggoner, and Cross Elementary Schools. This initiative establishes an early-intervention continuum that aligns with existing middle and high school safety efforts.

A.9.

Operating under a trauma-informed, culturally responsive framework, the Elementary SRO focuses on three core pillars:
• Safety Leader and Emergency Preparedness: Collaborates with administrators to refine campus safety plans, conduct age-appropriate safety drills, monitor facilities, and provide immediate on-site command during critical incidents.
• Educator and Substance Prevention: Delivers structured, age-appropriate instruction addressing cannabis/THC health risks, vaping prevention, bullying, conflict resolution, and digital citizenship/internet safety.
• Mentor and Multi-Disciplinary Resource Connector: Fosters approachable, positive relationships with students and parents. The officer works closely with school student assistance teams, counselors, County Behavioral Health Services, Social Services, and Juvenile Probation to divert at-risk youth into supportive community resources rather than punitive measures.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The grant performance period spans July 1, 2026, through December 31, 2031 (66 months). All grant funds are allocated at 100% under PPA 1 (Public Safety/Enforcement) and reimbursed quarterly in arrears by the State Controller's Office. Grant expenditures must augment, not supplant, existing municipal funds.
• Personnel Allocation (1.0 FTE Police Officer): $667,186.00 across the grant lifecycle o First-Year Burdened Rate: Base wage of $40.55/hour plus 17% benefits ($58.05 burdened rate), escalating at an assumed 5% annually across five operating years. • Operating & Direct Program Costs: The remaining balance of the $792,781.00 award supports mandatory BSCC grant training, travel, curriculum materials, and equipment.

Budget Appropriation:
• FY 2026–27 Appropriation: Approval of this item authorizes a budget appropriation of $120,744.00 ($58.05/hr × 2,080 hours) within the designated BSCC Prop 64 Special Revenue Fund.
• Future Fiscal Years: Subsequent annual personnel and operating costs will be incorporated directly into future annual budget adoptions throughout the grant term. • General Fund Impact: $0.

Long-Term Sustainability:

Because 100% of personnel expenses are covered by the BSCC award, there is zero impact on the City’s General Fund over the five-year operational lifecycle. Prior to grant expiration, Police Administration and the City Manager’s Office will review program evaluation outcomes with the School District to determine ongoing cost-sharing arrangements, identify successor grants, or absorb staffing through normal attrition.

REQUESTED ACTION:

Approve to Add One (1.0 FTE) Full-Time Police Officer as an Elementary School Resource Officer (SRO) and Authorize a Budget Appropriation Funded by the BSCC Proposition 64 Grant (Agreement

A.9.

No. BSCC 1445-26).

1. GRANT AGREEMENT – Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant Program This Grant Agreement is between the State of California, Board of State and Community Corrections (hereafter referred to as BSCC) and the City of Imperial, Police Department (hereafter referred to as the Grantee or Contractor).

2. PROJECT SUMMARY AND ADMINISTRATION
A. The Imperial Police Department seeks BSCC funding for a full-time School Resource Officer (SRO) serving Ben Hulse, T.L. Waggoner, and Robert Rosas Elementary Schools. Currently, no dedicated SRO exists, limiting proactive safety efforts and early intervention in issues such as bullying, behavioral health, family instability, and youth THC vaping. The SRO will provide consistent campus presence, focusing on safety, mentorship, and education. Duties include safety planning, emergency response, student engagement, and instruction on prevention topics like substance abuse, internet safety, and conflict resolution. The SRO will also connect at-risk students with counseling and partner agencies. Using a trauma-informed approach, the program aims to improve school safety, reduce disciplinary incidents, strengthen community trust, and support early intervention. Funding will cover all SRO costs without impacting existing services.

B. Grantee agrees to administer the project in accordance with Attachment 1: Proposition 64 PH&S Grant Request for Proposals (incorporated by reference) and Attachment 2: Proposition 64 PH&S Grant Program Cohort 4 Application for Funding, which are attached and hereto and made part of this agreement.

The EO directs state agencies to terminate contracts with, and to refrain from entering any new contracts with, individuals or entities that are determined to be a target of Economic Sanctions. Accordingly, should the State determine Contractor is a target of Economic Sanctions or is conducting prohibited transactions with sanctioned individuals or entities, that shall be grounds for termination of this agreement. The State shall provide Contractor advance written notice of such termination, allowing Contractor at least 30 calendar days to provide a written response. Termination shall be at the sole discretion of the State.

The BSCC Corrections Planning and Grant Programs Division Deputy Director shall have 30 days after receipt of Grantee’s written demand invoking this Section “Disputes” to render a written decision.

If the Grantee is not satisfied with the decision of the BSCC Corrections Planning and Grant Programs Division Deputy Director, the Grantee may appeal the decision, in writing, within 15 days of its issuance (or the expiration of the 30-day period in the event no decision is rendered), to the BSCC Executive Director, who shall have 45 days to

B. Pending the final resolution of any dispute arising under, related to or involving this Grant Agreement, Grantee agrees to diligently proceed with the performance of this Grant Agreement, including the providing of services in accordance with the Grant Agreement. Grantee’s failure to diligently proceed in accordance with the State’s instructions regarding this Grant Agreement shall be considered a material breach of this Grant Agreement.

C. Any final decision of the State shall be expressly identified as such, shall be in writing, and shall be signed by the Executive Director, if an appeal was made. If the Executive Director fails to render a final decision within 45 days after receipt of the Grantee’s appeal for a final decision, it shall be deemed a final decision adverse to the Grantee’s contentions. The State’s final decision shall be conclusive and binding regarding the dispute unless the Grantee commences an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to contest such decision within 90 days following the date of the final decision or one (1) year following the accrual of the cause of action, whichever is later.

D. The dates of decision and appeal in this section may be modified by mutual consent, as applicable, excepting the time to commence an action in a court of competent jurisdiction.

A. No State funds received under the Grant Agreement will be used to assist, promote or deter union organizing.

B. Grantee will not, for any business conducted under the Grant Agreement, use any State property to hold meetings with employees or supervisors, if the purpose of such meetings is to assist, promote or deter union organizing, unless the State property is equally available to the general public for holding meetings.

PROPOSAL

ABSTRACT
The Proposal Abstract should provide a brief summary of the proposed project. This section will not be included in the rating of the proposal.

PROPOSAL

ABSTRACT
The Imperial Police Department is seeking funding through the BSCC grant program to establish a full-time School Resource Officer (SRO) position serving Ben Hulse Elementary, T.L. Waggoner Elementary, and Robert Rosas Elementary Schools. This project is intended to enhance campus safety, strengthen relationships between youth and law enforcement, and provide early intervention and prevention services for students and families.

Currently, the district lacks a dedicated, on-site law enforcement presence. While officers respond to incidents as needed, the absence of a consistent SRO limits opportunities for proactive safety planning, early intervention, and trust-building with students. Schools are often left relying on reactive responses to issues such as bullying, behavioral health concerns, family instability, and substance use, including emerging trends like cannabis/THC vaping among elementary-aged youth.

The proposed SRO will be a specially trained officer assigned full-time to the three campuses, maintaining a visible and consistent presence while rotating between sites. The SRO will serve in three primary roles: safety leader, mentor, and educator. Responsibilities will include collaborating with school staff to strengthen safety plans, conducting drills, and providing immediate response during emergencies. The SRO will also foster positive relationships with students, with a focus on mentorship and engagement, particularly for at-risk youth.

In addition, the SRO will deliver age-appropriate education on topics such as bullying prevention, internet safety, substance abuse awareness, and conflict resolution. The officer will work closely with school personnel to identify students in need of support and connect them with appropriate services, including counseling and community-based resources.

The program will utilize a trauma-informed and culturally responsive approach. The SRO will receive specialized training in youth development, de-escalation, and implicit bias to ensure equitable and developmentally appropriate interactions.

Designed outcomes include improved safety among students, staff, and families; reductions in disciplinary incidents which when unsupported result in law enforcement referrals; stronger community relationships; earlier identification of student needs; and increased prevention and awareness of substance use.

Grant funding will support all program costs, including salary, benefits, training, and equipment, allowing implementation without impacting existing services. Our initiative represents a shift toward a proactive, preventionfocused model that promotes student well-being and long-term community safety.

NARRATIVE
This section requires responses

Proposal Narrative
Instructions
The Proposal Narrative includes four sections: Project Need, Project Description, Project Organizational Capacity and Coordination, and Project Evaluation. The character limits and page equivalents for each narrative section are outlined below and must be followed when preparing proposal materials. The Project Need narrative may not exceed 8,400 total characters. The Project Description narrative may not exceed 14,000 total characters. The Project Organizational Capacity and Coordination narrative may not exceed 5,600 total characters. The Project Evaluation narrative may not exceed 5,600 total characters.

Proposal Need The City of Imperial is a community of approximately 22,000 residents located in a region that continues to face significant economic challenges while at the same time being one of the fastest growing cities in the State.

Imperial County consistently experiences among the highest unemployment rates in the nation, creating widespread financial strain for families and limiting access to critical support services. These conditions contribute to increased risk factors for youth, including exposure to instability, increased behavioral health needs, and early involvement in negative or high-risk behaviors.

The Imperial Police Department serves the community with only 24 sworn personnel, requiring officers to balance patrol responsibilities, emergency response, and community policing efforts across the entire city. Our department remains committed to public safety and youth engagement; however, current staffing levels do not allow for the assignment of a dedicated, full-time School Resource Officer (SRO) for our elementary schools. As a result, the Department is limited to responding to incidents at our elementary schools on a call-for-service basis, rather than providing consistent, proactive engagement.

Our three elementary schools in Ben Hulse Elementary, T.L. Waggoner Elementary, and Robert Rosas Elementary (2026), serve a large population of young students during critical developmental years. At present, these campuses do not have a dedicated law enforcement presence. Without a consistent SRO, schools must rely heavily on reactive approaches to address safety concerns and student behavior, often after issues have escalated. This gap reduces our ability to implement comprehensive safety planning, deliver prevention education, and build positive relationships between students and law enforcement. We also experience events where law enforcement should have been summoned yet the schools and their staff have chosen not to due to response times, incorrect evaluation and triage, and lack of knowledge of law enforcements role in intervention, prevention, and early detection of myriad issues such as mental health concerns, protective/preventative services, and services extending beyond the campus.

School administrators and law enforcement have identified a growing need for early intervention related to behavioral health challenges, bullying, family instability, and substance use. Of particular concern is the emergence of cannabis/THC vaping among elementary-aged students, with local cases identified in children as young as nine years old. The trend underscores the urgency of implementing prevention-focused strategies at

an earlier age to reduce long-term negative outcomes. The program is intended to be built around the SRO as its steward.

Research demonstrates that early engagement with youth in elementary schools significantly improve long-term outcomes by fostering trust, promoting positive decision-making, and addressing significant risk factors prior to escalation. However, without a dedicated SRO, opportunities for mentorship, education, and early identification of at-risk students remain limited. An inconsistent presence impacts the ability to build trust with students who may otherwise only encounter law enforcement during times of crisis or enforcement actions which by their very nature are psychologically negative.

Economic conditions in Imperial County place increased pressure on schools to serve as a primary access point for supportive services. Many families face barriers to accessing behavioral health care, counseling, and other community resources. A dedicated SRO will serve to play a critical role in bridging this gap when working collaboratively with school staff and partner agencies to identify needs early and connect students and families to appropriate services.

The need for a structured, prevention-oriented approach to school safety is further reinforced by the evolving nature of campus safety concerns.

Schools must be prepared not only for traditional safety threats but also for complex social and emotional challenges impacting students. A dedicated SRO enhances the capacity of each campus to plan, prepare, and respond effectively, and having a visible deterrent to potential threats.

Given our limited staffing and the City’s economic constraints, local funding is insufficient to support the creation of a full-time elementary school SRO position without negatively impacting other essential public safety services.

External funding is therefore critical to this program.

Investment in a dedicated SRO for the City’s three elementary schools will address a clear and documented gap in services. It will allow the Imperial Police Department and local schools to transition from a primarily reactive model to a proactive, prevention-focused approach that prioritizes student safety, well-being, and positive youth development. By providing consistent engagement, early intervention, and access to resources, this program will help mitigate risk factors and improve outcomes for students, families, and our community.

This project responds to an urgent and unmet need by aligning law enforcement, education, and community resources to support some of the City’s most vulnerable residents, our youth, during their formative years.

Project Description The Imperial Police Department proposes the development and implementation of a comprehensive Elementary School Resource Officer (SRO) Program to serve Ben Hulse Elementary, T.L. Waggoner Elementary, and Robert Rosas Elementary Schools. This program will build upon the Department’s existing School Resource Officer framework, which is currently limited to a full-time high school SRO and a part-time middle school SRO, by creating a dedicated, developmentally appropriate model tailored to elementary-aged students.

The addition of a full-time Elementary SRO will expand the ability to provide consistent, proactive safety services while at the same time strengthening relationships between law enforcement and youth at crucial and earlier stages in their development. The program is designed to be collaborative in nature, engaging school administrators, teachers, staff, students, and law enforcement as active stakeholders in creating safe, supportive learning environments.

Imperial Police Officer’s Role and SRO Function
The SRO will serve as a highly visible, specially trained law enforcement officer assigned full-time to the three elementary campuses. While maintaining full law enforcement authority, the SRO’s role will extend beyond traditional policing to emphasize prevention, problem-solving, and relationship-building. The officer will act in three primary capacities: law enforcement officer, mentor, and educator. SRO Programs have been proven nation wide to be a highly effective prevention and education tool for all communities.

The SRO will collaborate with school administrators to assess and strengthen campus safety plans, conduct regular safety drills, and provide immediate on-site response to emergencies. The SRO will also work closely with patrol personnel and allied agencies to ensure coordinated responses to critical incidents.

SROs build trust-based relationships with students through daily interaction, engagement in school activities, and positive reinforcement.

This role is particularly important for at-risk youth, providing a consistent and approachable adult presence who can help guide decision-making and connect students with supportive resources.

The SRO will act as an educator and deliver structured, age-appropriate lessons that address key issues facing elementary students, including bullying prevention, drug and substance abuse awareness, internet safety, conflict resolution, and mental wellness. These educational efforts will be integrated into the school environment in collaboration with teachers and administrators to ensure alignment with existing curricula and student needs.

Extending Services Beyond the Campus
A key component of this program is the SRO’s ability to extend services beyond the school campus. The SRO will serve as a bridge between schools, families, and community-based resources, helping to identify students and families in need of additional support. This includes coordination with behavioral health providers, juvenile probation, social services, and other partner agencies which prove vital to students and families.

The SRO will engage in community outreach efforts, including participation in school events, parent meetings, and neighborhood activities. By maintaining a presence both on and off campus, the SRO will reinforce positive relationships with families and promote a broader sense of

community trust and collaboration.

Program Equipment and Resources
Grant funding will support the acquisition of essential equipment necessary for the SRO to effectively perform their duties. This includes a dedicated police vehicle, which will allow the SRO to safely and efficiently travel between the three campuses while remaining available for rapid response both on and off school grounds and without pulling from existing resources.

In addition, the program will fund critical emergency response equipment, including major incident response bags equipped with pre-fabricated/prestocked supplies designed and tailored for school-based emergencies.

These kits will include items necessary for immediate response to medical incidents, critical incidents, and campus safety threats, ensuring the SRO is prepared to act quickly and effectively in high-risk situations.

Additional equipment will support educational programming and student engagement, including materials for classroom instruction and outreach activities.

Development of Prevention and Education Programs
The Elementary SRO Program will include the development and implementation of structured, age-appropriate educational modules focused on key areas of need within the community including: 1) Bullying Prevention: Promoting respect, empathy, and conflict resolution skills to reduce peer-to-peer harm; 2) Drug and Substance Abuse Awareness:

Addressing early exposure to substances, including emerging concerns such as cannabis/THC vaping; 3) Mental Wellness: Supporting emotional regulation, resilience, and awareness of mental health resources; 4) Law Enforcement as Community Members: Humanizing law enforcement by fostering positive interactions and helping students and families view officers as trusted members of the community.

These programs will be developed in collaboration with school staff to ensure they are culturally responsive, developmentally appropriate, and aligned with student needs. The SRO will work to create a positive and engaging learning environment that encourages student participation and reinforces key prevention messages.

Collaborative, Stakeholder-Driven Approach
This program is intentionally designed as a collaborative partnership between the Imperial Police Department and the school community. School administrators, teachers, staff, students, and the SRO will all play an active role in shaping and sustaining the program. Regular communication and feedback will be incorporated to ensure the program remains responsive to evolving needs.

The Elementary SRO Program will complement and enhance the Department’s existing SRO presence at the middle and high school levels.

Our establishment of a continuum of engagement across grade levels, the Department will be able to provide consistent messaging, build long-term

relationships with students, and intervene earlier in the development of risk behaviors.

Conclusion
The proposed Elementary SRO Program represents a strategic investment in prevention, safety, and community engagement. By embedding a dedicated SRO within the elementary school environment, the Imperial Police Department will enhance its ability to proactively address safety concerns, support student well-being, and strengthen trust between law enforcement and the community. This program will create a sustainable, stakeholder-driven model that supports students from an early age and contributes to long-term community safety.

Project
Organizational
Capacity and
Coordination
The Imperial Police Department has the experience and partnerships necessary to successfully implement and sustain the proposed Elementary School Resource Officer (SRO) Program. With 24 existing sworn personnel, the Department effectively delivers community-oriented policing services and currently operates a full-time high school SRO and a part-time middle school SRO. These existing programs provide a proven framework for implementation, including established policies, training practices, and strong collaboration with school partners.

Department leadership remains committed to proactive, prevention focused policework and provides direct oversight of the SRO program to ensure accountability and alignment with community needs. The assigned SRO will be a trained officer who will receive specific instruction in youth development, trauma-informed practices, de-escalation, and intervention competency.

The Department maintains strong, ongoing partnerships with school administrators and staff across all campuses. Coordination is supported through regular communication, joint safety planning, and clearly defined roles, which will be formalized through memorandums of understanding (MOUs). The SRO will work closely with principals, teachers, and support staff to identify concerns, support interventions, and integrate into the school environment as a collaborative partner.

The Department also collaborates with key community and county agencies, including behavioral health services, juvenile probation, and social services. These partnerships allow IPD and the SRO to connect students and families with appropriate resources, supporting coordinated, multi-disciplinary approaches to intervention and prevention.

Internally, the SRO will coordinate with patrol personnel and supervisors to ensure effective communication and response to school-related issues, allowing the SRO to remain focused on prevention and engagement while maintaining access to enforcement resources when necessary.

The Department has the administrative and fiscal systems in place to manage grant funding in compliance with BSCC requirements, including established procedures for oversight, reporting, and accountability.

The proposed Elementary SRO Program will build on and align with existing middle and high school SRO efforts, creating continuity across grade levels and strengthening early intervention strategies. Through established partnerships, experienced personnel, and a commitment to collaboration, the Imperial Police Department is well-positioned to implement this program effectively and deliver measurable benefits to students, schools, and the community.

Project Evaluation The Imperial Police Department uses clear and measurable processes to evaluate the effectiveness of the Elementary School Resource Officer (SRO) Program. The evaluation will include both quantitative data and feedback from involved parties to ensure the program meets its goals related to safety, prevention, and community relationship-building.

Key measures will include: 1) impacting perceptions of school safety; 2) number and type of disciplinary incidents and referrals to law enforcement; 3) calls for service and on-campus incidents; 4) participation in SRO-led education and outreach activities; and 5) the number of students referred to and connected with support services.

If available, baseline data will be collected prior to implementation using existing school and police records. Data will then be tracked on an ongoing basis and reviewed biannually for progress monitoring, identification of relevant trends, and retooling if necessary.

Quantitative data will come from school records, incident reports, and program activity logs. The SRO will document daily activities, including student contacts, presentations, and referrals. The data will be gathered through school surveys and feedback from students, staff, and parents to assess perceptions of safety and trust.

The Department will work closely with school administrators to ensure appropriate data sharing while maintaining student privacy. Feedback from school staff and partner agencies will also be used to improve program delivery.

Evaluation results will be reviewed regularly to make adjustments, improve programming, and respond to emerging issues. The Department will meet all BSCC reporting requirements and submit timely progress reports.

This evaluation approach ensures accountability while supporting continuous improvement, helping the program remain effective and responsive to the needs of students and schools.

Funding is requested for a dedicated School Resource Officer (SRO) vehicle to support timely response, campus safety, and community engagement across elementary school sites. The vehicle will enable the SRO to effectively conduct school visits, respond to incidents, participate in outreach and prevention activities, and coordinate with community partners. A Tesla Police EV was selected to ensure compliance with California’s state zero-emission vehicle mandates and to align with Proposition 64 priorities supporting community well-being and environmental responsibility. The use of an electric vehicle will also reduce fuel and maintenance costs over time, maximizing the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of grant-funded resources.

Funding is requested for the School Resource Officer (SRO) to attend the National Association of School Resource Officers Basic School Resource Officer Course. This nationally recognized training equips SROs with specialized skills in adolescent development, de-escalation, behavioral threat assessment, substance use prevention, and trauma-informed practices. The course emphasizes a balanced approach to school-based policing through education, prevention, and appropriate enforcement, aligning with California BCSS Proposition 64 goals. Participation will enhance the SRO’s ability to build positive relationships with students, implement early intervention strategies, and support a safe, supportive, and drug-free school environment. Addiitonally finding is requested for the SRO to attend the NASRO Safety Conference (every other year). The Conference provides updates, legal changes, and best practices in order to maintain a current and effective program.

APPROVAL OF PURCHASE FOR AXON DRONESENSE PROGRAM
BACKGROUND:

The Imperial Police Department continues to evaluate technology that enhances officer safety, situational awareness, operational efficiency, and the Department’s ability to effectively respond to critical incidents.

The Department currently utilizes Axon technology for its body-worn camera and in-car camera systems. The proposed purchase of the Axon DroneSense program would expand the Department’s existing technology platform by incorporating drone operations into the Axon system.

The proposed program includes two drones, along with the DroneSense platform.

Integration with the Department’s existing Axon body-worn and in-car camera systems will provide a more unified approach to capturing, managing, and accessing digital evidence and operational video. This integration will also help streamline Department workflows by utilizing technology compatible with systems already in use.

The drones may be utilized during a variety of public safety operations, including critical incidents, searches for missing or endangered persons, crime scene documentation, major traffic collisions, disaster response, tactical incidents, and other situations where an aerial perspective can improve situational awareness and officer and community safety.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total cost of the Axon DroneSense program, including two drones, is $44,076.61, which will be spread over a five-year term.

Funding for the purchase will be provided through COPS funding previously approved by the City Council. As a result, no additional General Fund appropriation is being

SURPLUS AND DONATE MOVIE SCREEN TO BEN HULSE PTO
BACKGROUND:

Parks and Recreation is requesting to surplus and donate an existing movie screen to the Ben Hulse Elementary PTO for use in student, parent, and community engagement activities. During Summer 2026, the City purchased a new, updated movie screen to better meet the needs of its current programs and events. The existing screen has served the City for more than 20 years and, while still functional, is no longer needed for City operations and has little to no remaining value to the City.

Donating the screen to the Ben Hulse Elementary PTO will allow the equipment to continue serving the community by supporting school events, family activities, and community engagement opportunities, while providing meaningful use for an item that is no longer needed by the City.

September 3, 2026
To the City of Imperial Leadership,
On behalf of the Ben Hulse Elementary Parent Teacher Organization, we respectfully request consideration for the donation of the City’s surplus inflatable movie screen to support our school community engagement eJorts.

Our PTO is committed to creating meaningful, family-centered experiences that strengthen the connection between students, parents, and the broader Imperial community. With the donation of this movie screen, we plan to host free movie nights on campus – events designed to bring families together, encourage positive school culture, and provide a safe, welcoming environment for community bonding.

This request is not tied to fundraising activities. The screen would be used solely for student, parent, and community engagement. As a school deeply rooted in Imperial, we value opportunities that allow us to collaborate with the city and enhance the experiences of our families.

We appreciate your consideration of this request and would be grateful for the opportunity to repurpose the screen in a way that continues to serve the residents of Imperial. If additional information or documentation is needed, we are happy to provide it.

Thank you for your continued support of our schools and community.

Warm regards,
Ben Hulse Elementary PTO

APPROVAL OF PURCHASE OF A STALKER RADAR MESSAGE TRAILER WITH

RADAR AND TRAFFIC DATA COLLECTION CAPABILITIES UTILIZING CANNABIS

TAX FUND GRANT PROGRAM (CTFGP) FUNDS
BACKGROUND:

The Department is requesting authorization to purchase a portable message trailer equipped with radar and traffic data collection capabilities from Stalker Radar/Applied Concepts, Inc. The trailer will provide the Department with a versatile traffic safety tool capable of displaying public safety and traffic-related messages, providing motorists with real-time speed feedback, and collecting traffic data for future analysis.

Staff recommends that this purchase be authorized as a sole source procurement through Stalker Radar/Applied Concepts, Inc. The Imperial Police Department currently utilizes Stalker Radar products as part of its traffic enforcement operations. Purchasing equipment from the same manufacturer will maintain consistency and compatibility with the Department's existing radar equipment and technology while reducing the need for additional training and supporting standardization of equipment used by Department personnel.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total purchase price for the message trailer, including radar and traffic data collection capabilities, is $23,948.52.

The purchase will be funded through the California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program (CTFGP). The CTFGP provides funding to local governments for programs intended to enhance traffic safety, including education, prevention, and enforcement efforts.

As the purchase will be made using grant funds, no General Fund expenditure is anticipated for the acquisition of the equipment.

APPROVAL OF PURCHASE OF ABBOTT SOTOXA ORAL FLUID MOBILE

ANALYZER
BACKGROUND:

The Imperial Police Department is requesting authorization to purchase an Abbott SoToxa Oral Fluid Mobile Analyzer. The SoToxa system is a portable roadside drugscreening device designed to analyze an oral fluid sample and provide officers with rapid screening results for the presence of certain drugs.

The device is intended to assist officers during Driving Under the Influence of Drugs (DUID) investigations by providing an additional investigative tool when drug impairment is suspected.

Results can assist trained officers in evaluating suspected drug-impaired drivers and determining appropriate next steps in an investigation.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total cost of the Abbott SoToxa Oral Fluid Mobile Analyzer and associated equipment is $6,105.84. The purchase will be fully funded through the CTFGP Grant, resulting in no impact to the City’s General Fund.

SUBJECT:

CRP AFFORDABLE HOUSING TEFRA
BACKGROUND:

CRP Affordable Housing is proposing a 100% affordable housing project comprising 78 units, a clubhouse, and an outdoor play and BBQ area at 430 W. Wall Road. This proposal includes the issuance of revenue bonds under the Tax and Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) by the California Municipal Finance Authority (CMFA), a public entity of the State of California, in an amount not exceeding $20,000,000. The proceeds will be allocated for the acquisition, construction, improvement, and equipping of the multifamily rental housing project at the specified location.

To qualify the bonds as tax-exempt, the City of Imperial must hold a public hearing (TEFRA Hearing) to allow community members to express their support or opposition to the use of tax-exempt bonds for the project financing. Reasonable notice of the hearing must be provided to the community in advance. After the TEFRA Hearing, an “applicable elected representative” from the city must approve the bond issuance for project financing.

The CMFA, established on January 1, 2004, operates under a joint exercise of powers agreement to facilitate economic, cultural, and community development through bond financing. To date, over 350 municipalities have joined the CMFA. It aims to assist local governments, non-profits, and businesses in issuing taxable and tax-exempt bonds to enhance living standards in California. The CMFA's representatives and Board of Directors possess extensive experience in bond financing.

The Borrower requested that the CMFA serve as the municipal issuer of the Bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20,000,000 (the “Bonds”) of tax-exempt revenue bonds. The proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance or refinance the acquisition, construction, improvement and equipping of a multifamily rental housing project located at 430 West Wall Road, Imperial, California (the “Project”).

B.1.

In order for the bonds to qualify as tax-exempt bonds, the City of Imperial (the “City”) must conduct a public hearing (the “TEFRA Hearing”) providing for the members of the community an opportunity to speak in favor of or against the use of tax-exempt bonds for the financing of the Project. Prior to such a TEFRA Hearing, reasonable notice must be provided to community members. Following the close of the TEFRA Hearing, an “applicable elected representative” of the governmental unit hosting the Project must provide its approval of the issuance of the Bonds for the financing of the Project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Bonds to be issued by the CMFA for the Project will be the sole responsibility of the Borrower, and the City will have no financial, legal, moral obligation, liability or responsibility for the Project or the repayment of the Bonds for the financing of the Project. All financing documents with respect to the issuance of the Bonds will contain clear disclaimers that the Bonds are not obligations of the City or the State of California but are to be paid for solely from funds provided by the Borrower.

The Board of Directors of the California Foundation for Stronger Communities, a California non-profit public benefit corporation (the “Foundation”), acts as the Board of Directors for the CMFA. Through its conduit issuance activities, the CMFA shares a portion of the issuance fees it receives with its member communities and donates a portion of these issuance fees to the Foundation for the support of local charities. With respect to the City of Imperial, it is expected that that a portion of the issuance fee attributable to the City will be granted by the CMFA to the general fund of the City. Such grant may be used for any lawful purpose of the City.

REQUESTED ACTION:
1) Conduct the public hearing under the requirements of TEFRA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
2) Adopt Resolution 2026-61 approving the issuance of the Bonds by the California Municipal Finance Authority for the benefit of CRP Wall LP (the “Borrower”), to provide for the financing of the Wall Apartment Project, such adoption is solely for the purposes of satisfying the requirements of TEFRA, the Code, and the California Government Code Section 6500 (and following).

SUBJECT:

ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2026-62 AUTHORIZING A SPECIAL CERTIFICATION

STIPEND FOR QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES HOLDING AN INTERNATIONAL CODE

COUNCIL CERTIFIED BUILDING OFFICIAL CREDENTIAL AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO DESIGNATE QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

BACKGROUND:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-62, authorizing a special certification stipend of $500.00 per month for a qualified City employee holding an active International Code Council Certified Building Official credential, and authorizing the City Manager to designate qualified personnel to perform statutory and regulatory Building Official duties in conjunction with their regular responsibilities.

The City of Imperial remains committed to upholding the highest standards in public safety, building code administration, and regulatory compliance. In municipal operations, administering building safety mandates and code compliance requires highly specialized technical, administrative, and legal knowledge.

The International Code Council (ICC) issues the Certified Building Official (CBO) credential, an industry-recognized standard that verifies advanced legal, technical, and management competency in building code enforcement and regulatory oversight. Within municipal staffing, having personnel with advanced certifications enables the City to maintain essential statutory services, build internal capacity, and ensure operational continuity without relying exclusively on costly third-party consultants or independent contractors.

Resolution No. 2026-62 establishes a framework to leverage in-house technical credentials to ensure continuous, high-quality Building Official services:

1. City Manager Designation Authority: The resolution authorizes the City Manager to formally designate a qualified employee who actively holds an ICC Certified Building Official credential to carry out statutory and regulatory Building Official responsibilities

C.1.
on behalf of the City in conjunction with their regular position duties.

2. Certification Stipend: To recognize the significant added scope of statutory responsibility and professional competency, the resolution establishes a certification incentive stipend of $500.00 per month.

3. Internal Controls and Restrictions:
- At no time may more than one (1) employee receive the stipend concurrently. - The stipend is paid on a month-to-month basis and only during the active designation period.
- The stipend automatically ceases if the designation is reassigned or formally revoked by the City Manager, or if the employee fails to maintain an active ICC CBO credential.

This structure promotes workforce retention and development while providing the City with an adaptable, cost-effective mechanism for meeting statutory building safety requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The annual fiscal impact for this item is $6,000. The cost is offset by the operational efficiencies and cost savings achieved through the recently approved reorganization of the Local Development and Operations Department, resulting in no net impact on the general fund.

REQUESTED ACTION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2026-62, authorizing a special certification stipend of $500.00 per month for a qualified City employee holding an active International Code Council Certified Building Official credential, and authorizing the City Manager to designate qualified personnel to perform statutory and regulatory Building Official duties in conjunction with their regular responsibilities.

FIRST READING AND INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A 20

MPH PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMIT IN SCHOOL ZONES PURSUANT TO ASSEMBLY BILL 382
BACKGROUND:

The City of Imperial remains committed to improving traffic, pedestrian, and bicycle safety, particularly in areas surrounding schools where children and families routinely travel to and from school.

In 2025, the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 382 (AB 382), Pedestrian Safety: School Zones: Speed Limits, which was signed by the Governor and became effective January 1, 2026. AB 382 amended California law to provide local jurisdictions with additional authority to reduce speed limits in school zones.

Specifically, AB 382 added California Vehicle Code Section 22352.5, which authorizes a local authority, by ordinance or resolution, to determine and declare a prima facie speed limit of 20 miles per hour in a school zone. For purposes of this provision, a school zone generally includes an area of a highway within 500 feet of school grounds in any direction, unless otherwise posted and marked with appropriate signs giving notice of the area.

The proposed ordinance would exercise the authority granted to the City under AB 382 and establish a 20 MPH prima facie speed limit within qualifying school zones throughout the City of Imperial.

Reducing vehicle speeds around schools will provide drivers with additional reaction time and reduce stopping distances while providing greater protection for students, parents, school employees, pedestrians, bicyclists, and other roadway users.

Upon adoption and implementation of the ordinance, appropriate regulatory signage will be installed or modified to provide motorists with notice of the applicable 20 MPH school-zone speed limit.

C.3.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Fiscal impacts associated with implementation of the ordinance are anticipated to consist primarily of costs associated with the purchase, modification, and installation of appropriate school-zone speed limit signage.

FIRST READING AND INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING

REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE OPERATION AND USE OF UNMANNED

AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (UAS), COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS DRONES, WITHIN THE CITY OF IMPERIAL.

BACKGROUND:

The use of unmanned aircraft systems has increased significantly for recreational, commercial, and public safety purposes. While drone operations are primarily regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), local governments may establish certain regulations addressing activities that affect public safety, privacy, and the use of Cityowned property, provided those regulations do not conflict with federal or state law.

The proposed ordinance would establish a local framework for drone operations within the City of Imperial. The ordinance is intended to promote the safe and responsible use of drones while protecting the privacy, safety, and welfare of residents and visitors.

The ordinance may include provisions addressing the takeoff, landing, or operation of drones on or from City-owned property; interference with emergency response and public safety operations; unsafe or reckless drone activity; protection of privacy; operation near City facilities, public events, or other sensitive locations where legally permissible; and appropriate exemptions for law enforcement, fire, emergency services, governmental operations, and other authorized activities.

The ordinance would supplement, rather than replace, applicable federal and state regulations governing unmanned aircraft systems. Nothing in the ordinance would authorize the City to regulate matters that are exclusively within the jurisdiction of the FAA or otherwise preempted by federal or state law.

This agenda item constitutes the first reading of the proposed ordinance. If introduced by the City Council, the ordinance will return at a subsequent meeting for a second

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IMPERIAL ADDING CHAPTER ___ TO THE IMPERIAL MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE SAFE OPERATION OF UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS ("DRONES")

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Imperial is authorized under Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution to enact ordinances to protect the public health, safety, and welfare; and
WHEREAS, the use of unmanned aircraft systems ("UAS"), commonly referred to as drones, has increased substantially for recreational, commercial, governmental, and educational purposes; and
WHEREAS, while drones provide significant benefits for photography, surveying, agriculture, infrastructure inspection, emergency response, and other lawful activities, their operation may also present risks to persons, property, public infrastructure, emergency operations, and individual privacy when operated irresponsibly; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that drone operations occurring near public gatherings, critical infrastructure, emergency response activities, parks, public facilities, schools, and other sensitive locations may create unnecessary safety hazards, interfere with governmental operations, or adversely affect the peaceful enjoyment of public spaces; and WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes this Ordinance is not intended to regulate matters exclusively reserved to the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), federal law, or state law, but instead intends to regulate matters within the City's policing powers; and WHEREAS, FAA acknowledges state and local government rights to retain authority in areas such as zoning, land use, privacy, trespass, law enforcement operations, and the management of public property, provided such regulations do not conflict with applicable federal law; and

WHEREAS, the City Council finds that protecting emergency responders, police and fire operations, public utilities, water and wastewater facilities, civic buildings, parks, recreational facilities, schools, and special events from unsafe drone activity serves an important governmental interest; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to establish clear and enforceable local regulations which encourage responsible use while minimizing risks to the community; and WHEREAS, the City Council has considered all information presented regarding this Ordinance and finds that adoption of this Ordinance is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City of Imperial.
