Assistant City Manager Olivares presented the staff report.
Alvin Gomez asked whether the parking lots could be used overnight by the family members of the residents that live on Morada Street.
Robert Diaz repeated his comments about damages to his aunts' garage and suggested the gate be moved toward the center and that it be widened to accommodate larger vehicles.
Dena Zepeda suggested that the Morada Street residents be consulted to determine their preferences.
In reply to several questions by Councilmember Ortiz, Assistant City Manager Olivares advised that a gate is currently installed at the site.
Assistant City Engineer Co indicated that staff can determine a maintenance schedule for the gate as well as the times that the gate should open and close. He added that staff can look into moving the gate to accommodate larger vehicles, although he noted that the parking spaces are standard size since the site is designed for passenger vehicles.
Councilmember Ortiz stated that the parking lot is for the residents of Morada Street and their guests, and that their suggestions, such as allowing for overnight parking, would be considered. He also indicated that the Council would look to the Engineering Department to come up with the necessary signage and whether the wall that was requested could be built.
Assistant City Manager Olivares spoke on enforcement challenges if the parking lot is restricted to certain individuals. Staff can look into this request, as well as the request to allow for overnight parking.
Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz requested for staff to look into restricting the use of the parking lot to residents of Morada Street as well as their guests and individuals that attend events at the church nearby. He also suggested that Panattoni pay for any damages that their contractor caused at the site.
City Attorney Guerra suggested that he look into the requests made by the Councilmembers and enforcement issues, after which a report can be prepared and presented to the Council.

FIREWORKS STAND
Assistant City Manager Olivares presented the staff report and made a PowerPoint presentation.
Jason Cook, Ronald Rodriguez, Kim Alcala, Ryan Cook, Jess Martinez, and Rudy Hernandez, spoke in support of allowing Covina Vikings Youth Football and Cheer to conduct fireworks sales to raise funds for their sports programs and activities.
Suzanne Gomez spoke on the need to develop a comprehensive policy to address future requests to sell fireworks from other non-profit organizations.
Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz spoke on his support of youth sports and noted that, since Northview Vikings would be unable to sell fireworks this year to raise funds, that the Covina Vikings be allowed to take their place.
Assistant City Manager Olivares elaborated on the Council's options with regard to this matter.
Councilmember Ortiz noted the tight timeline for the actions that need to occur in order to permit Covina Vikings to sell fireworks, to which Assistant City Manager Olivares noted that the Council would need to hold a special meeting on April 11 to introduce the applicable ordinance, which would then be adopted at the regular meeting of April 27, and would become effective 30 days after its adoption. She added that the organization would be unable to submit an application to sell fireworks until that day.

Councilmember Ortiz spoke on the benefits of youth sports, though he suggested working with the organization to allow them to sell fireworks next year so that they have sufficient time to identify a location for the fireworks sales.
Replying to a question by Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz, City Attorney Guerra indicated that the required ordinance would be easily prepared. He requested, however, that the ordinance specify that the provision sunset this year, after which a draft policy could be prepared and reviewed in depth.
In response to several questions by Mayor Burrola, Assistant City Manager Olivares advised that Covina Vikings has not identified a site for their potential sale of fireworks, and that it would be incumbent on the organization to locate one. She also noted that the Covina Vikings organization is not affiliated to a school, and that it serves children ages 5 to 14.
Mayor Burrola spoke in favor of drafting the required ordinance to allow this organization to sell fireworks this year only.
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz, seconded by Councilmember Ortiz, to direct staff to draft an ordinance and present it at a special Council meeting on April 18 to allow the Covina Vikings non-profit organization to sell fireworks for the 2022 July 4 holiday season only. The motion was unanimously approved.
City Attorney Guerra noted that, should the organization be unable to find a location for their fireworks sales, then these efforts have been all for naught.
None.
City Manager Miranda reported that:
1) The Planning Department will host an environmental scoping meeting for the Speedway Commerce Center specific plan on April 28.
2) The City is accepting applications for the vacant Lieutenant and Housing Coordinator positions.
3) Applications for the Summer Youth program will begin April 14. 4) The 2021/2022 Residential Street Resurfacing Project will begin phase 1 later this month.
5) The 2022 Easter Eggstravaganza event has been scheduled for April 16.
6) The next bulky-item pickup event has been scheduled for May 6.

Background and Analysis:
01005.00011784986.1
Electronically Approved
For almost 20 years, the City of Irwindale has had its annual 4th of July Fireworks Display Show in different sections of the former Manning Pit site with the last few years on Assessor's Parcel No. 8417-34-912, known as the Housing Authority owned 10-acre site on Allen Drive (10-acre Site). The continuation of this show on the 10-acre property requires two approvals. The first is approval from the Housing Authority Board to use the 10-acre Site. On April 27, 2022, the Housing Authority Board adopted Resolution No. 2022-07-117, authorizing and approving the use of the 10-acre Site for the Fireworks Display Spectacular event. The second deals with the required fall zone radius of 420', which encroaches into private property thus requiring the City of Irwindale to obtain approval from the property owner. The City has received approval from the private property owner to allow for encroachment into their property, which enables the City to continue to have the Fireworks Display Show at this location.
The cost of the Fireworks Display Show would exceed $30,000, which required a formal Request for Proposals.
On February 28, 2022, Recreation staff released Request for Proposals No. 2022-REC1 Fireworks Display for the City of Irwindale on the 4th of July. A notice for Requests for Proposals was posted in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, on the City's website, at City Hall, at the Irwindale Public Library and at the Irwindale Post Office on February 28, 2022.
A mandatory site walk was schedule for Monday, March 14, 2022 at 8:30 am and attended by Recreation Manager Priscilla Zepeda, Public Works Maintenance Supervisor Pedro Rodriguez and a representative of Pyro Spectaculars. No other fireworks companies attended the mandatory site walk. As such, Pyro Spectaculars was the only company to meet the qualifications to submit an RFP. Questions on this RFP were due on Wednesday, March 16, 2022. There were no questions submitted or addenda released for this RFP. The proposals were due on Tuesday, March 29, 2022 at 2:00 pm. Pyro Spectaculars, Inc. submitted an incomplete proposal to the Recreation Division on Tuesday, March 29th in the amount of $33,350. Pyro Spectaculars failed to submit Forms A - D. Therefore, the City of Irwindale must reject Pyro Spectaculars proposal for Request for Proposal No 2022-REC1 Fireworks Display.
Due to time restraints and the immediate need for the City of Irwindale to sign a contract to secure a fireworks company for this popular date across Southern California, staff is requesting the City Council waive the bidding process under Irwindale Municipal Code Section 3.44.080(H}, which states the bidding process can be waived "when the city council determines by resolution it would be in the best interest of the city to dispense with bidding; provided, however, that the city council shall state the basis of its determination." It is in the best interest of the City of Irwindale to dispense with formal bidding, because without doing so, the City would have to forego its 4th of July Fireworks Show. The Fireworks Display Show is a benefit to the community, allowing residents and community members the opportunity to safely celebrate 4th of July in the City Parks with their families and friends while ending the night with a Fireworks Display Spectacular. The 4th of July Spectacular has been the City of lrwindale's annual celebration for more than two decades. The Fireworks Display Show for 2022 was an approved event by the City
Council on February 23, 2022. Pyro Spectacular has provided this service to the City for almost 20 years in the same location, as they are familiar with the site, site conditions, Los Angeles County Fire Department requirements and City Maintenance Staff, who they work with each year to ensure a smooth and spectacular fireworks show. Additionally, over the years, the cost of service has always fallen under the signature authority of the City Manager, which provides a disservice to these companies as they are not familiar with the formal bid process.
Fiscal Impact:
The 2022 Fireworks show costs approximately $33,350 and this cost has been covered annually by a sponsorship from Athens Services. Sufficient funding for this show is available from a donation made from Athens Services.

Background and Analysis:
California Government Code Section 53646 requires that the City Treasurer submit a quarterly report of investments (Investment Report) to the City Council/Board Members for review and compliance with the City's adopted investment policy (City's Investment Policy).
The City's Investment Policy applies to all funds held by the City, Housing Authority, Successor Agency, and Reclamation Authority. The Reclamation Authority's funds are included in the City's cash and investment balances.
The attached Investment Report summarizes the cash balances and investments as of March 31, 2022 for each agency. The City of lrwindale's balances include investments of all funds of the City and its agencies, which are pooled to maximize the interest yield. The cash balances in the general account with Bank of the West also include all funds of the City and its agencies, which also earn interest on the pooled cash balances.
The Investment Report itemizes how much is invested in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) accounts, certificates of deposits and federal agency securities. All investments comply with the City's Investment Policy.
As previously noted, all funds held by the City, Successor Agency, Housing Authority, and Reclamation Authority are pooled to maximize interest yields. The Reclamation Authority Board is not scheduled to meet again until June 8, 2022. Therefore, this same Investment Report will be included in the Reclamation Authority's Agenda for that meeting for review by the Reclamation Authority Board as well.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to receive and file this report.

Background and Analysis:
The City has an existing contract with Lance Soll & Lunghard, LLP, a licensed Certified Public Accountants (LSL), to conduct an audit of the citywide financial operations, and to assist in the preparation of the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and other required reports. The existing contract included the term of three fiscal years ending June 30, 2020 through June 30, 2022, with an option for a two-year extension.
City Staff is recommending the approval of the two year contract extension with LSL. The current audit firm's in-depth knowledge of the City's financial processes and operations provides valuable continuity, particularly with respect to the recent significant changes with the dissolution of the redevelopment agency and pension liability valuation and reporting.
The term extension of two additional years will provide for audit services for fiscal years ending June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024. The services provided in the annual audit will remain the same as in prior years. These services are listed in the Scope of Services in the existing contract, and include:
• Financial audits of the City's and component unit financial operations; • Preparation of the financial statements and notes to conform with generally accepted financial statements;
• Assistance in preparation of the City of Irwindale CAFR in order to obtain GFOA Award of Excellence;
• Perform a review of the City's Proposition 4 (Gann Limitation) as required by Proposition 111 and issue required report for Appropriations Limit; • Single audit procedures and report if necessary (required only if the City expends Federal funding over $750,000);
• Review, analyze and make recommendations on the internal control structure of the City's financial operations.
Fiscal Impact:
This professional services contract is for citywide financial comprehensive audit services.
As provided in the Schedule of Compensation (Exhibit B of the existing contract), the proposed cost for the two year extension option include a three percent (3%) increase in the annual fees.
Audit services are budgeted every year during the regular budget process. The audit for all funds of the City of Irwindale will be $38,349 for FY 2022-2023 which will take place during FY 2023-2024. The audit services for the Successor Agency will be $6,343, the Housing Authority will be $5,373, and the Irwindale Community Foundation will be $4,917.
The amount listed for a Single Audit of $5, 190 will only be charged if a federally mandated Single Audit is required, which is rare, and will be charged to the fund where the federal expenditures are charged from.

Background and Analysis
The City of lrwindale's Personnel Rules, last amended by Resolution No. 2015-31-2760 on June 24, 2015, establish and facilitate a fair and equitable personnel management system within the
City organization. Personnel Rules provide documented procedures related to human resources practices, including recruitments, job classifications, personnel appointments, compensation practices, benefits, and disciplinary processes.
Section 4.50 of the Personnel Rules sets forth guidelines pertaining to the establishment and effective period of eligibility lists. An eligibility list is a list of qualified applicants who have passed all parts of an examination process and can be considered for employment for a position with the City based on minimum scores. As set forth in Section 4.50, eligibility lists for part-time and fulltime recruitments are effective for a period of twelve (12) months or until exhausted, whichever comes first. Eligibility lists may also be terminated at any time when less than three (3) eligible candidates remain.
At the October 13, 2021 City Council meeting, Council expressed its desire to amend Section
4.50, changing the effective period for eligibility lists for part-time recruitments from twelve (12) months to six (6) months and directed staff to bring back an amendment for consideration.
Per section 2.13.060 of the IMC, the Personnel Rules may be modified by a resolution of the City Council. Except as modified and reflected in Resolution No. 2022-36-3286, all other provisions of the Personnel Rules shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IRWINDALE REPLACING RESOLUTION NO. 2015-31-2760, AMENDING SECTION 4.50 OF
THE CITY'S PERSONNEL RULES REGARDING THE DURATION OF
ELIGIBILITY LISTS FOR RECRUITMENTS FOR PART-TIME POSITIONS WHEREAS, the City Council, by Ordinance No. 521, dated March 26, 1996, adopted Chapter 2.13 of the Irwindale Municipal Code, regulating the personnel system within the City; and;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.13.060 of the Irwindale Municipal Code, the City Council of the City of Irwindale, on June 24, 2015, adopted Resolution No. 2015-31-2760 establishing the most recent version of the City of Irwindale Personnel Rules ("Personnel Rules"); and
WHEREAS, an eligibility list is a list of qualified applicants who have passed all parts of the examination process and can be considered for employment for a position with the City based on minimum established scores; and
WHEREAS, Section 4.50 [Eligibility Lists] of the Personnel Rules sets forth the duration of eligibility lists for both full-time and part-time positions; and WHEREAS, Section 4.50 [Eligibility Lists] of the Personnel Rules sets forth that eligibility lists for both full-time and part-time positions shall remain in effect for twelve ( 12) months; and WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to amend Section 4.50 [Eligibility Lists] of the Personnel Rules to provide that eligibility lists for part-time positions be effective for a period of six (6) months from the date of their establishment.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IRWINDALE, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 4.50 of the City's Personnel Rules shall be amended as follows (new text is shown in bold and italics):
"4.50 - Eligibility Lists.
Lists of applicants to be considered for job openings in a particular classification may be established for open competitive or promotional competitive positions. An eligibility list shall be a list of persons who have taken an open competitive or promotional competitive examination for an advertised City position and have qualified for said classification. Each such list shall bear an expiration date. The City will use the rule of three, whereby hiring or promotion selection may be made from the top three candidates on the relevant hire or promotion list. At the time selection is made, in the event one of the candidates is not available for appointment the department head/authority can request an additional (the next) name to replace the unavailable candidate. The hiring department may appoint any of the top three candidates on the eligibility list, regardless of ranking, provided all candidates with higher rankings have been interviewed.
Resolution No. 2022-36-3286
Eligibility lists for full-time employee position recruitment shall remain in effect for twelve (12) months or until exhausted, whichever occurs first. Eligibility lists for part-time employee position recruitment shall be effective for a period of six (6) months from the date of their establishment or until exhausted, whichever comes first. An eligibility list may be terminated at any time when less than three (3) eligible candidates remain.
The Personnel Officer, upon either the Personnel Officer's determination or the recommendation of the Department Director, may remove a name from an eligibility list for any of the following reasons:
A. If the eligible person accepts an appointment with the City to a regular position of the same or higher classification. Acceptance of a temporary appointment at any level will not in itself be cause for removal from an eligibility list.

Of particular interest for lrwindale's Public Works Engineering Department at this year's conference are sessions on construction management, emergency management, stormwater, flood control, bridges, and traffic engineering.
The conference also allows for the opportunity to see an extensive gathering of exhibitors that showcase the latest products, services, and technologies specific to public works; as well as opportunities to network with peers, hone leadership abilities, and learn new job skills.
Fiscal Impact:
Estimated costs for the Director's attendance at this conference are $3, 100. This figure includes registration, airfare, hotel, meals, and ground transportation. There are sufficient funds in the Public Works Engineering Department's FY 2021-2022 budget to cover the advance costs of registration, and airfare for this conference. Funding for costs to be incurred at the conference (hotel, meals and ground transportation) in August 2022 are part of FY 2022-23 department budget.

Electronically Approvea
The Parks and Recreation Commission has been an advocate for surveillance cameras on the City of lrwindale's school/charter buses for the past few years. At its June 2, 2021 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission once again requested information on the requirements for installing surveillance cameras on the City's school/charter buses. 01005.00091785014.1 Page 1
On June 9, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-52-3264 entitled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Irwindale Appropriating $400,000 from the City's General Fund Reserve Balance for the Citywide Video Surveillance System." This system included surveillance cameras for the City of lrwindale's two school/charter buses.
As the Information Technology Manager conducted research on the best citywide video surveillance system for the City of Irwindale, it was determined that the school/charter bus video surveillance system should be separate from the citywide system due to the different type of camera required and the length of time required to save the recordings.
After an informal bid process and reviewing camera systems from various vendors, staff awarded the purchase and installation of school/charter bus cameras to Safety Vision in October 2021. Staff received the camera system from Safety Vison in early November and the cameras were installed on Wednesday, November 17 and Thursday, November 18, 2021.
Before the cameras are turned on, a policy is recommended to be drafted and approved by the City Council. A notice and acknowledgment form will be sent to all parent(s)/legal guardian(s) informing them of the installation of these cameras in the City's school/charter buses. An acknowledgement form regarding the policy will also be provided to City employees.
Additionally, as the video recordings and any GPS location and bus sensor information created as a result of the surveillance system may be used for a legitimate purpose related to employment or business functions, including usage in disciplinary proceedings of City employees, the City has met and conferred with the representatives of the affected employee organization (ICEA) regarding the policy pursuant to the provisions of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (Government Code§ 3500 et seq.).
The attached School/Charter Bus Video Surveillance System Policy has been reviewed by City staff, the City Attorney's office, California Joint Insurance Powers Authority, the Covina-Valley Unified School District, and the Irwindale City Employees Association. The Policy was brought before the Parks and Recreation Commission for their review, approval, and recommendation to the City Council for approval at its April 6, 2022 meeting.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost to purchase and install the cameras was $8,319.82 and funds were allocated in this year's budget.

Resolution No. 2022-39-3289
EXHIBIT"A"
IRWINDALE
SCHOOL/CHARTER BUS VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM POLICY
I. PURPOSE
This policy is to safeguard student privacy while providing for their safety and security.
The City of Irwindale (City) recognizes the use of video surveillance systems on school/charter buses as an important tool in the management of the security and safety of students and staff and as an educational tool to enhance the performance of all City bus staff. Student data privacy must be maintained in accordance with all federal and state statutes.
II. SCOPE
This policy applies to the City of lrwindale's "school" and "charter" buses. The City has two school buses, which are used for the transportation of students to and from school or school-related activities. The City's school buses are occasionally converted for usage as a "charter" bus and are used to transport City staff and patrons to and from field trips such as sporting events, beach trips, and other recreational activities. The City maintains two other buses, which are not covered by this policy and are exclusively used as a School Pupil Activity Buses (SPAB) by the City's Recreation and Senior Center to transport staff and patrons to and from non-school related events such as field trips.
The City of Irwindale has installed cameras in its two school/charter buses. The school/charter bus video surveillance system utilizes video recording equipment in both school/charter buses for the security and safety of students and staff, and for the purpose of monitoring the behavior of the students. Video recordings are used to support the school/charter bus driver's referral reports, regulations outlined in the California Highway Patrol HPH 82.7 Passenger Transportation Safety Handbook, and the consequences outlined in the City of Irwindale Bus Pass Information and Rules, which are also based on the Thomas Edward Lanni Act of 1997 Safety Plan in compliance with Section 39831.3 added to the California Education Code. No audio recordings will be used as part of the video surveillance system.
Ill. STAFF RESPONSIBILITY
The City of Irwindale will notify parents/legal guardians and staff that the digital video surveillance exists on all school/charter buses and that those video recordings may be used in student disciplinary proceedings and may be a student record. This notification will be located on the revised Bus Pass Information and Rules and included in the City's Resident Newsletter.
Video recordings will only be viewed by the City Manager, Public Services Director, Information Technology Manager, Human Resources/Risk Manager, and appropriate law enforcement (or any of their designees). Whenever a parent or legal guardian disputes or challenges a bus discipline report, and the student was video recorded, it will be the responsibility of the Public Services Director (or designee) to review the recording.
The video recording will be used by the Public Services Director to assist in determining whether or not the incident actually occurred and if so, the severity of the incident.
Neither the parent nor legal guardian of the student that has been video recorded, nor the student, will be allowed to view the video recording in accordance with data privacy laws, unless the student is the only subject of the recording, the Public Services Director has obtained written permission from the parents/legal guardians of all other students on the video recording for them to be viewed, or the other students can be blurred out by the recording system. Upon written request, the Public Services Director will provide a written summary of the recorded incident(s) of a student pictured on a video to the student's parents/legal guardians.
The Pubic Services Director or Information Technology Manager (or their designee) will be responsible for the security of all school/charter bus digital video surveillance equipment and for the handling of video files. If there is a request by the Public Services Director to view a recording, the Information Technology Manager will remove the digital hard drive from its recorder for safeguard until a meeting can be arranged. Digital files retained as part of an individual student's disciplinary record shall be maintained in accordance with law and the City of lrwindale's policy governing the access, review, and release of student records.
IV. USAGE OF VIDEO RECORDINGS OF CITY EMPLOYEES
Video recordings and any GPS location and bus sensor information created as a result of the surveillance system may be used for a legitimate purpose related to employment or busines functions, including usage in disciplinary proceedings of City employees.
Video Recordings and other relevant data may be released in response to a requirement that the footage be presented to law enforcement, or a need for the footage in administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings.
V. PLACEMENT OF VIDEO SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS ON SCHOOL/CHARTER BUSES
There are four cameras on each school/charter bus. The locations of each camera are as follows:
1. Camera One is placed behind the driver and records both the driver's seat and the bus passengers as they enter and exit the bus.
2. Camera Two is placed in the middle right side of the bus and records the middle section of the bus.
3. Camera Three is placed in the middle left side of the bus and records the middle 01005.0009/763001.5
section of the bus.
4. Camera Four is placed at the back right corner of the bus and records the back section of the bus, and allows for the recording of the bus from the back towards the front.
See the Staggered Camera Layout attached to this Policy as Attachment 1 providing an example diagram (not to scale) of the camera locations. The school/charter bus video surveillance cameras provide high definition performance, high capacity storage, passive GPS tracking, custom vehicle sensor inputs, and wireless networking.
VI. OPERATION & REVIEWING OF VIDEO RECORDINGS
A. The school/charter bus video surveillance management system entails the following:
1. There are four (4) cameras on each City of Irwindale school/charter bus for a total of eight (8) cameras. Each camera has a microphone on it to record audio, which will be turned off and not used to record the voices of any bus passenger or bus driver.
2. The school/charter bus video surveillance system will not provide a live stream video option. A wireless network is set up at the facility where the buses are parked, which can allow the recordings to be viewed and downloaded when the bus returns to this facility.
3. The school/charter bus cameras will be in operation during the entire year when the school/charter buses are in operation.
4. The school/charter bus cameras will turn on when the bus turns on and will remain operational for the duration of the trip to and from any destination, including but not limited to, the school, each bus stop, and any field trip location. The cameras will stop recording 25 minutes after the bus ignition turns off. There are three locations when the school/charter bus is required to be turned off for a short period of time: (1) Nora Avenue when the bus driver is required to cross elementary and middle school students; (2) Sabre Lane when the bus driver is required to cross elementary and middle school students; and (3) Alice Rodriguez Circle when the bus driver is required to cross elementary and middle school students. This should not interrupt the recording as the recording will stop after the bus has been off for 25 minutes.
5. All recorded video is synchronized to GPS coordinates and time stamped.
6. The bus driver is able to push a "panic button" when an incident occurs on the bus.
This flags the footage of that moment in time as a critical event incident and allows this moment to be downloaded first when the bus returns to its facility.
7. There are three different exportable video formats/medium. a. Standard - Exported video can be viewed on a city staff member's computer where SafetyVision's ForesightPro software has been installed. The standard export allows for synchronized view of the bus's camera and GPS location and bus sensor information at the time of the recording.
b. Mini - The Mini version is identical to the Standard export; however, a portable version of the ForesightPro software is saved to the exported file path. This format would allow for burning/transferring to CD, DVD, or USB memory stick. 01005.0009/763001.5
c. MP4 - The MP4 format is strictly a video file; playable without the aid of SafetyVision's proprietary software; no GPS or bus sensor information is contained and each camera is exported individually.
VII. RETENTION OF VIDEO RECORDINGS
The school/charter bus video recordings are required to be retained for 365 days. To do so, the City is required to have two (2) interchangeable 2TB storage hard drives that will enable staff to save recordings for 365 days a year. The videos will delete the oldest footage beginning on day 366.
VIII. TRAINING
Training will be provided to the Public Services Director, Information Technology Manager and their designees on how to use the video surveillance system software called Network Video Recorders (NVRs) including but not limited to uploading videos, blurring out student faces, and editing videos to display only certain instances and/or incidents. Additional training will be provided after any software upgrades and changes or new personnel are hired in a position that warrants their use of the system.
IX. PERIODIC MONITORING & INSPECTIONS
The City shall conduct periodic inspections of the school/charter bus video surveillance system to ensure the cameras are working properly on a monthly basis. The periodic inspections will entail turning the system on and randomly clicking on time during bus drop off or pick up hours. The Public Services Director and/or the Information Technology Manager will inspect the system to ensure the cameras are recording visually and ensure the audio is turned off.

To: Honorable Chair and Members of the Housing Authority From: Julian A. Miranda, Executive Director
Issues: Approving and Authorizing Use of the 10-Acre Site, Assessor's Parcel Number 8417-34-912, for the City of lrwindale's July 4, 2022 Fireworks Display Spectacular Event
Executive Director's Recommendation:
That the Housing Authority Board adopt Resolution No. HA 2022-07-117, entitled "A
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE IRWINDALE HOUSING AUTHORITY AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING THE USE OF THE 10-ACRE SITE ON ALLEN DRIVE, ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER 8417-34-912, FOR THE CITY OF IRWINDALE'S JULY 4, 2022 FIREWORKS DISPLAY SPECTACULAR EVENT," by title only, with further reading waved.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
For almost 20 years, the City of Irwindale has had its annual 4th of July Fireworks Display Show in different sections of the former Manning Pit site with the last few years on Assessor's Parcel Number 8417-34-912, known as the Housing Authority owned 10-acre site on Allen Drive (10-Acre Site). The continuation of this show on the 10-acre property requires approval from the Housing Authority Board to use the 10-Acre Site. 01005.0013/784988.1 Page 1
It is in the best interest of the community to allow for the use of the 10- Acre Site because the City of lrwindale's 4th of July events allow residents and community members the opportunity to safely celebrate 4th of July in the City Parks with their families and friends while ending the night with a Fireworks Display Spectacular. The 4th of July Spectacular has been the City of lrwindale's annual celebration for more than two decades. The Fireworks Display Show for 2022 was an approved event by the Irwindale City Council on February 23, 2022.
It is therefore recommended that the Board of Directors adopt Resolution No. HA 2022- 07-1117, entitled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
IRWINDALE HOUSING AUTHORITY AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING THE USE OF THE 10-ACRE SITE ON ALLEN DRIVE, ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER 8417-34-912, FOR THE CITY OF IRWINDALE'S JULY 4, 2022 FIREWORKS DISPLAY SPECTACULAR EVENT."

To: Honorable Chair and Members of the Housing Authority From: Julian A. Miranda, Executive Director
Issues: Las Casitas Eligibility Ranking List and Blind Drawing Executive Director's Recommendation:
That the Housing Authority Board conduct a random blind drawing to break ties among the Las Casitas Eligibility Ranking List

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
There are currently three (3) units at the Las Casitas Senior Apartment Complex that are available for rent. All three (3) units are designated as Extremely Low Income units. In June 2021, the Housing Authority opened the application period for the available units.
The deadline to submit all application materials in person was no later than July 15, 2021 at 6:00 p.m., or if mailed, the application packet must have been post marked before midnight on July 15, 2021. •
When the Housing Authority opened the application period, fifty-eight (58) applications were distributed for the three available (3) units. Thirty-seven (37) applications were received. Of the thirty-seven (37) applications, twenty-seven (27) have been deemed complete and eligible according to the Las Casitas Guidelines Policies and Procedures For Senior Low/Moderate Income Housing Apartment Rental Program ("Guidelines") for the Extremely Low Income priority.
Staff have now finalized their review of all applications. In accordance with the Guideline Application Procedures section 0(1 )(h) the Executive Director is vested with the authority to make the final determination of priority ratings. Attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is the current Las Casitas Eligibility Ranking List. Staff will now notify the top three ranked applicants of their eligibility and mail the necessary rental agreement documents to begin processing the rental agreements. The names of the top three ranked applicants are being provided to the Board for informational purposes only. (Guidelines, section 0(1 )(h).) In the event that any of the top three ranked applicants are unable to complete a rental agreement, Staff will need to contact the fourth applicant on the eligibility list but there is currently a tie in the rankings between two or more eligible applicants.
For this reason, and in accordance with the Guidelines, in the event a tie in rankings occurs between two (2) or more applicants, the total priority rank order will be assigned by a random blind drawing publicly conducted by the Board during a duly noticed Board meeting. (Guidelines, section 0(1 )(h).) It is therefore recommended that the Board conduct a blind drawing to finalize priority ranking order among the applicants who are tied for the fourth place ranking. Once the Board conducts the Blind drawing, the list will be final.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
