That the City Council approve the attached contract Amendment No. 2 with PlaceWorks, Inc. for the preparation of an Initial Study and Environmental Impact Report to be prepared in association with land use entitlement applications for property located at 13620 Live Oak Lane, Irwindale, CA 91706.

Marilyn Simpson, AICP, Community Development Director
Prepared by:
Brandi Jones, Senior Planner
Reviewed by:
Adrian R. Guerra, City Attorney
Kambiz Borhani, Finance Director / City Treasurer
Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:
On October 26, 2022, the City Council approved an Agreement for Professional Contract Services with Placeworks, Inc. (“Contract”) for the preparation of CEQA documents (Initial Study and Environmental Impact Report) for a proposed project at 13620 Live Oak Lane. The project includes a Specific Plan to develop and industrial business park with up to three (3) industrial buildings and an optional Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) operation.
The Contract stated that the Consultant shall commence the service upon receipt of a written notice to proceed and shall perform all services within the time period(s) established in the “Schedule of Performance”, in no event to exceed October 23, 2023. However, due to the multiple factors such as additional analyses for transportation and air quality/GHG, Specific Plan revisions, site plan revisions, and additional cumulative project analysis, the timeline to complete the project has been delayed and the term of the contract needs to be extended in order for the Consultant to complete its services under the Contract.
On December 13, 2023, the City Council approved the first amendment to the contract to grant a time extension and complete the following additional task beyond the original scope:
• EIR revisions to reflect changes in the Project Description (addition of 15,000 SF office space). • Updated graphics to reflect Specific Plan changes.
• Updated technical analyses to reflect project changes, including traffic study, air quality/GHG and Health Risk Assessment modeling.
• Response to applicant and City legal comments on the Screencheck EIR. • Attendance at additional meetings as requested by applicant. • Additional project management efforts related to an extension of project schedule and ongoing project changes.
The original contract was approved for $409,540.00 and the first amendment added an additional cost of $41,206.00, for a new contract totaling $450,746.00.
A second amendment to the original Contract has been requested to complete additional tasks that were out of scope of the existing Contract:
• An additional iteration of EIR review/revisions compared to contract scope of work. • Substantially greater volume and detail of EIR review comments (Applicant, City, and City counsel) in comparison to approved scope of work.
• An approximate 3-month schedule extension (beyond PlaceWorks’ control) resulting in additional Project Management effort.
• Attendance at additional meetings as requested by City and applicant related to an extended schedule and ongoing project changes.
The original contract was approved for $409,540.00 and the first amendment added an additional cost of $41,206.00, totaling $450,746.00. The second amendment will add an additional $56,690.00, for a new contract totaling $507,436.00.
Fiscal Impact:
The entire cost for this consultant’s work will be covered by the Applicant/Developer, KP Irwindale Owner, LLC. The City's General Fund will not be impacted. The applicant has agreed to reimburse the City 100% of all costs and expenses incurred by the City by providing a deposit account pursuant to the reimbursement between the City and KP Irwindale Owner, LLC.

EXHIBIT "A"
AMENDMENT NO. 2 SCOPE OF SERVICES
May 2, 2024
The following scope of work details the additional work covered in this contract amendment and is organized per the tasks in our original approved contract with the City dated October 26, 2022 (proposal updated August 31, 2022, and amended November 23, 2023). Table 1, Cost Estimate details the additional fees requested in this amendment as well as summarizing the contract amounts by task for the original contract and Contract Amendment No. 1. The out-of-scope tasks included in this second Contract Amendment request are detailed below.
TASK 1. PROJECT INITIATION
This task has been completed and no additional fees are requested.
TASK 2. NOTICE OF PREPARATION AND SCOPING MEETING
Task 2.1 Notice of Preparation
This task was completed but the budget exceeded the cost estimate. A fee transfer among tasks in Contract Amendment No.1 covered this overage.
Task 2.2 Scoping Meeting
This task was completed but the budget exceeded the cost estimate. A fee transfer among tasks was approved in Contract No. 1 to cover this overage.
TASK 3. DRAFT EIR
Task 3.1 Administrative DEIR
Additional fees were required for this task after the submittal of Contract Amendment No.
1. The supplemental effort reflected in the cost estimate was work on the Alternatives section and Executive Summary. These sections were submitted after the initial submittal of the Administrative DEIR. The first contract amendment noted that Alternatives and the Executive Summary section would be updated in conjunction with the revisions and updates required for the Screencheck DEIR (Task 3.2) and would reflect the project description changes. It’s appropriate that the additional fees are accurately reflected in Task 3.1 as it was the first submittal for these sections.
- 6 -
01005.0018/980696.1
Task 3.2 Screencheck DEIR
The first contract amendment included fees to update the EIR for an updated project description (an additional 15k SF of office space), including updated AQ/GHG/HRA modeling results, and Specific Plan updates. The first contract amendment for this task also covered extra fees to address an expanded range of City and applicant commenters in comparison to the assumptions described in the original contract. The original EIR contract assumed that under Task 3.2, PlaceWorks would revise the Administrative DEIR to respond to one set of consolidated review comments from the City. The first amendment stipulated that additional comments were still pending from the City, including their engineer and counsel, and that the fees for this task may need to be augmented if new comments require substantial revisions and/or additional technical analysis.
This second Contract Amendment is requesting fees to revise the EIR to respond to 10 individual commenters representing the City, applicant, and their respective counsel and technical specialists. The volume of comments, and unanticipated level of detail required an immense amount of work. Additionally, some commenters added new comments in their second review that were not included in their original review (previously reviewed text that had not changed). Following is a summary of commenters and dates for comments received.
Note also that our original contract included one primary SCEIR review/revision followed by the preparation of the Public Review EIR. Our process has included submittal of the Administrative Draft EIR (Task 3.1), followed by a SCEIR (posted 1/7/24-1/23/24 and including project description updates named 2nd SCEIR on One Drive), and a 2nd SCEIR (to be submitted this month), that reflect substantial changes to the EIR in response to reviewer comments. This represents an additional version not anticipated or included in the fees for the original contract.
Task 3.3 Public Review DEIR
The budget for this task reflects the preparation of the most recent version of the EIR (to be submitted in April 2024). Upon submittal of the April 2024 EIR version, PlaceWorks will have submitted the following complete EIR versions: Administrative DEIR (8/24/23- 9/12/23 by sections), SCEIR (posted as 2nd SCEIR on One Drive, 1/17/23-1/23/23), and 2 nd SCEIR [April 2024]). The original contract and first amendment only account for the Administrative DEIR and one SCEIR, prior to preparation of the Public Review DEIR.
The Public Review DEIR was anticipated to entail “final formatting, editing, QA/QC” of the Printcheck DEIR. It was not scoped as a new EIR version with substantive changes or response to reviewer comments.

TASK 4. FINAL EIR
4.1 Administrative FEIR (Response to Comments and Revisions to Draft EIR) This task has not been initiated and there is no change to the cost estimate.
4.2 Screencheck FEIR
This task has not been initiated and there is no change to the cost estimate.
4.3 Mitigation Monitoring andReportingProgram
This task has not been initiated and there is no change to the cost estimate.
4.4 Findings of Facts and Statement of Overriding Considerations This task has not been initiated and there is no change to the cost estimate.
4.5Notice of Determination
This task has not been initiated and there is no change to the cost estimate.
TASK 5. CITY STAFF COORDINATION MEETINGS, COMMUNITY MEETING, AND
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Our first amendment added fees for weekly meetings through the anticipated approval of the project in May 2024. It did not include any meetings during the DEIR public review period. This budget has not been expended at the rate anticipated since we have not
- 9 -
01005.0018/980696.1
had meetings every week. The additional fees shown in the cost table for this amendment reflect additional budget (beyond the remaining amount) needed to attend up to 6 more meetings (assumed project approval by September 2024 and no meetings during DEIR public review period). The budget assumes virtual meetings to be attended by JoAnn Hadfield with approximately 1/2 the meetings also being attended by Dina El Chammas Gass.
We have not changed the assumptions for our participation in public hearings (2 public hearings). Additionally, our scope includes attendance at a community meeting.
TASK 6. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
We are requesting additional fees to cover project management efforts associated with an extended schedule that has been beyond PlaceWorks’ control. Our approved scope of work is based on a 12-month project schedule. Our Project Management fees were supplemented in our last contract amendment based on an estimated project approval in May 2024. Based on the updated schedule included in this amendment request, we now anticipate approval in mid-September 2024. Our fee request, therefore, is for an estimated additional 3 months and based on the same assumptions used in our previous cost estimates (5 hours/month for our Project Manager and 2 hours/month for our Assistant Project Manager).

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the parties agree that the City's obligations to make payments to the CEQA Consultant pursuant to the Consultant Agreement and to the Additional Consultants pursuant to any Contracts shall be independent of and governed solely by the provisions of the Consultant Agreement and Contracts, as applicable. City shall make any payments to the CEQA Consultant when provided by the Consultant Agreement and to the Additional Consultants pursuant to the Contracts irrespective of any dispute arising hereunder.
3. Abandonment of Project. This Agreement does not constitute a commitment by Developer to proceed with the Project and Developer may choose to not proceed with the Project at any time for any or no reason whatsoever. If Developer should abandon the Project prior to a final decision on its application by City, then Developer may give written notice of such abandonment to City and City shall immediately suspend preparation of the EIR and all other aspects of review for the Project. Developer shall remain obligated to reimburse City for City's Expenses incurred prior to the date of abandonment.
4. Conflicts of Interest.
A. During the existence of City's contract with the CEQA Consultant, and for a period of one (1) year after final resolution of Developer's application for the Project, neither Developer, nor any of its representatives, agents or other persons acting in concert with Developer, shall enter into any financial relationship with the CEQA Consultant or with any City official or employee. Nor, during such period, shall Developer propose to enter into any future relationship with the CEQA Consultant or with any City official or employee.
B. Developer makes the following warranties for the 12-month period preceding the submission of its application for the Project.

arrangement to pay financial consideration to, and has not made any payment to, any City official, agent or employee that would create a legally cognizable conflict of interest as defined in the Political Reform Act (California Government Code Sections 87100 et seq.).
C. The parties acknowledge and agree that processing of Developer's application for the Project is not contingent on the hiring of any specific contractor.
D. The parties acknowledge and agree that Developer's duty to reimburse City is not contingent upon City's approval or disapproval of the Project or upon the result of any action of the City but that it is contingent on City's compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
E. Neither Developer nor its officers, employees or agents shall communicate with the CEQA Consultant or any Additional Consultant during the term of this Agreement, unless specifically authorized or requested to do so in writing by City.
5. Approval of Consultant Contract and Contracts. City shall promptly provide copies of (a) the proposed Consultant Contract; (b) any and all proposed Contracts; and (c) proposed amendments and supplements to the Consultant Contract and Contracts that would have the effect of revising the schedule or scope of work for such CEQA Consultant or Additional Consultant, prior to the execution thereof by City. Developer shall have a reasonable time thereafter within which to review and provide comments to and consult with City on such proposed Consultant Contract and Contracts and amendments and supplements thereto, but shall have no right to prevent their execution; provided, however, that Developer shall not be obligated to pay Expenses based upon a change in scope or schedule of any of them unless Developer has reviewed and approved such Consultant Contract or Contract or change thereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, City may not revise, supplement or amend the scope of work proposed to be undertaken by the Environmental Consultant pursuant to the Consultant Contract without obtaining Developer's prior consent. Upon the execution of (i) the Consultant Contract and any amendments thereto by Environmental Consultant and City; and (ii) any Contracts and any amendments thereto by Additional Consultants and City; Developer's obligations with respect to such executed Consultant Contract and Contracts (each as amended) will be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Item #19.H.
Date: May 8, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Issue: Approval of Memorandum of Understanding Between the Cities of Azusa, Baldwin Park and Irwindale for the East San Gabriel Valley Special Weapons and Tactics Team.
City Manager's Recommendation:
Approve the Memorandum of Understanding Between the Cities of Azusa, Baldwin Park and Irwindale for the East San Gabriel Valley Special Weapons and Tactics Team.
Administrative Action:
Submitted / Prepared by:
Christopher P. Hofford, Chief of Police
Reviewed by:
Adrian R. Guerra, City Attorney
Kambiz Borhani, Finance Director / City Treasurer
Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:
This Memorandum of Understanding formalizes an existing working relationship between the member cities of Azusa, Baldwin Park and Irwindale. Each member city's respective Police Department currently works together to provide personnel and resources to a mutual team of officers and supervisors trained in Special Weapons and Tactics ("SWAT") procedures and the use of related specialized equipment.
It is recognized that the presence of a highly trained and skilled SWAT team has been shown to reduce the risk of injury or death to citizens, police officers and suspected criminal offenders. It is also recognized that a well-managed team response to critical incidents, which is often beyond the scope and training of patrol officers and detectives, usually results in the successful resolution of those events. To this end, it is the intent of the participating members as well as future potential member cities or agencies to formalize the pooling of certain resources whenever personnel, facilities, and equipment are reasonably available and to formalize the creation of a regional SWAT team. This SWAT team will provide service to all the members and their respective communities to help resolve critical incidents as they arise and will be named the East San Gabriel Valley SWAT Team.
Fiscal Impact:
The ESGV SWAT Team does not have its own budget. Each Member will be responsible for overtime expenses, base salary, benefits, and other personnel costs for their participating employees resulting from training and call-outs. Costs for this item are in the form of overtime spent on training and on actual SWAT field operations. Training days are in the form of two five-hour training sessions per calendar month. Field operations are in the form of actual hours spent conducting SWAT operations in the field. The frequency of field operations is dependent on the need for a SWAT response to a critical event. As such, the frequency of critical events cannot be predicted. However, averages can be observed and utilized in the planning and administration of the police budget.
The Irwindale Police Department mitigates SWAT-related costs in several ways. First, "payback" shifts are used for training days. Payback shifts are extra hours owed to the City by police officers due to their "3-12" weekly work schedule; at the end of every four weeks, an officer owes ten extra hours of work to the City, and these hours are used for SWAT training purposes by officers assigned to the team. Second, should an officer's payback day be needed to fill a shortage on patrol, and should upcoming SWAT training be routine in nature, the Police Department may opt to have an officer stand down from a training session. Third, when a SWAT field response is called for and the team is called to respond, not every SWAT officer responds. The team was designed to be staffed by a sufficient number of officers to provide a robust response to any incident while allowing that some team members may not be able to respond due to illnesses, planned vacations, or local patrol staffing needs.

1. East San Gabriel Valley SWAT Team MOU (003)
1 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
EAST SAN GABRIEL VALLEY SWAT TEAM (ESGV SWAT)
1. INTRODUCTION
This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU” or “Agreement”) is entered by and among the City of Azusa, the City of Baldwin Park, and the City of Irwindale (referred to herein individually as a “Member” or collectively “Members”) for the purpose of operating a regional Special Weapons and Tactics (“SWAT”) team as provided in this MOU. The effective date of the MOU (“Effective Date”) is the date this MOU has been executed by authorized representatives of the City of Azusa, the City of Baldwin Park, and the City of Irwindale.
It is recognized that the presence of a highly trained and skilled SWAT team has been shown to reduce the risk of injury or death to citizens, police officers and suspects. It is also recognized that a well-managed team response to critical incidents, which is often beyond the scope and training of patrol officers and detectives, usually results in the successful resolution of those events. To this end, it is the intent of the participating Members as well as future potential member cities or agencies to pool certain resources whenever personnel, facilities, and equipment are reasonably available and to create a regional SWAT team. This SWAT team will provide service to all the Members and their respective communities to help resolve critical incidents as they arise and will be named the East San Gabriel Valley SWAT Team (referred to herein as the “ESGV SWAT Team.”)
It is the intent of the Members in entering this MOU to create a structure for participation on the ESGV SWAT Team by the original Members and to provide a mechanism to allow participation by new members with the approval of the existing Members.
2. GENERAL SUPERVISION
The ESGV SWAT Team shall be governed by the Chiefs of Police of the Member Police Departments, or their designees. Generally, they shall provide operational governance and supervision of the mutual aid and cooperation, and administration of the ESGV SWAT Team as set forth in this MOU and shall make all decisions based on concurrence of at least a majority of the Chiefs, or their designees, after providing, wherever reasonably possible, an opportunity for all Member Chiefs, or their designees, to be involved in any and all such decisions. In the instance that a Member does not have a permanent Chief of Police in place, then the person serving as the city manager of that agency, or his or her designee, shall fill the role of the chief of police until that agency appoints a permanent chief of police. ///

2 3. MEMBER RESPONSIBILITY
A. Third Party Property Damage, Death, or Injury
The Member requesting the response of the ESGV SWAT Team shall be solely liable for any claim, loss, or damages to non-member third parties for property damage, personal or other injury, and/or death including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs arising out of the activities of the ESGV SWAT Team unless the claim, loss, or damages are the result of the negligence, willful misconduct, or actions outside the operational plan or operational necessity by employee(s) or contract labor provider(s) assigned by another Member. Where the claim, loss, or damages to non-member third parties for property damage, personal or other injury, and/or death, including without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs arising out of the activities of the ESGV SWAT Team are caused by the negligence, willful misconduct or actions outside the operational plan or operational necessity, the Member who assigned the employee(s) or contract labor provider(s) to the ESGV SWAT Team causing the claim, loss or damage shall be solely liable. To the extent permitted by law, proportional liability to third parties for property damage, death, or personal or other injury arising out of acts or omissions of the employees of more than one Member may be established either by stipulation among the affected Members or by a court of competent jurisdiction.
B. Member Damage, Injury, Loss, or Death to Member Contributed Employee Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Members specifically agree that in the event of any property or other damage, loss, injury, illness, or death to any duly assigned employee(s) or contract labor provider(s) to the ESGV SWAT Team, arising out of the participation in the training or operations of the ESGV SWAT Team, the employee’s assigning Member shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Members, and such Members’ officials, boards, officers, agents, volunteers, and employees from any and all such demands, claims, or liabilities arising therefrom including, without limitation, consequential damages and attorneys’ fees and costs, unless such property or other damage, loss, injury, illness, or death was caused by the negligence, willful misconduct, or actions outside the operational plan or operational necessity by employee(s) or contract labor provider(s) of one of the Members. In such case, the Member assigning the employee(s) or contract labor provider(s), whose negligence, willful misconduct, or actions outside the operational plan or operational necessity caused the property or other damage, loss, injury, illness, or death to any duly assigned employee(s) or contract labor provider(s) of the ESGV SWAT Team, shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Members, and such Members’ officials, boards, officers, agents, volunteers, and employees from any and all such demands, claims, or liabilities arising therefrom including, without limitation, consequential damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. If such property or other damage, loss, injury, illness, or death are caused by employee(s) or contract labor provider(s) of more than one Member, proportional liability of affected Members may be established either by stipulation among the affected Members or by a court of competent
3 jurisdiction. Each Member shall maintain sufficient liability coverage, pooled self-insurance coverage, or a program of self-insurance, which includes coverage for contractual promises to indemnify, in effect at all times, to cover any such damage claim, loss, cost, expense, action, proceeding, liability, or obligation.
C. Member Indemnity for Workers Compensation Liability of Contributed Employee Each Member shall fully indemnify and hold harmless each other Member, and their respective elected and appointed boards, officials, officers, agents, volunteers, and employees, from any claims, losses, fines, expenses (including attorneys' fees and court costs or arbitration costs), costs, damages, or liabilities arising from or related to (1) any workers' compensation claim or demand or other workers' compensation proceeding arising from or related to, or claimed to arise from or relate to, employment which is brought by an employee of a Member or any contract labor provider retained by the Member, or (2) any claim, demand, suit, or other proceeding arising from or related to, or claimed to arise from or relate to, the status of employment (including without limitation, compensation, demotion, promotion, discipline, termination, hiring, work assignment, transfer, disability, leave or other such matters) which is brought by an employee of a Member or any contract labor provider retained by a Member.
D. Indemnification and Insurance
In connection with any claim, injury or property damage for which a Member is obligated to indemnify and defend another Member or Members, such indemnifying Member shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless other Members, and such Members’ officials, boards, officers, agents, volunteers, and employees from any and all demands, claims or liabilities of any nature arising out of the incident giving rise to the defense and indemnification obligation. In such cases, each Member shall use its best efforts to cooperate and assist in such a defense, except to the extent that such cooperation and assistance could, in the opinion of the Member’s City Attorney, be reasonably expected to prejudice the legal interests of that indemnified and defended Member. Each Member shall at all times be compliance with applicable law and maintain in full force and effect workers compensation insurance and adequate liability insurance or legally adequate self-insurance to cover its activities hereunder.
E. Survival of Provisions
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this section entitled "Member Responsibility" the requirements of this section shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement, as well as the withdrawal of a Member from this Agreement or the ESGV SWAT Team.
4. GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of California, and shall be governed, interpreted, and enforced pursuant to the laws of the State of California. The Members agree that
4 jurisdiction and/or venue of any action involving the validity, interpretation, or enforcement of this Agreement or any of its terms, provisions, or obligations, or claiming breach thereof, shall exist exclusively in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles.
5. PARTIAL INVALIDITY
If any one or more of the terms, provisions, sections, promises, covenants or conditions of this MOU shall to any extent be adjudged invalid, unenforceable or void for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction, each and all of the remaining terms, provisions, sections, promises, covenants and conditions of this MOU shall not be affected thereby and shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
6. FINANCES
The ESGV SWAT Team does not have its own budget. Each Member will be responsible for overtime expenses, base salary, benefits, and other personnel costs for their participating employees resulting from training and call-outs. Each Member will provide their participating personnel with the requisite safety equipment which is set forth in the policy and procedures of the ESGV SWAT Team. Replacement costs of expendable items used during training and/or call-outs will be shared equally only if the value of expendable items was contributed equally. A detailed accounting of such items will be maintained and a written statement of costs incurred will be submitted for payment to all Members on a cost-sharing basis.
7. MEMBER PARTICIPATION
This Agreement is completely voluntary in nature and none of the Members are under any obligation to respond to a request from the ESGV SWAT Team that they are unwilling or unable to honor. However, every reasonable effort based in part upon availability of funding, staffing, and equipment will be made to accommodate all requests for service. It is further agreed that the Members shall work together to create a Joint ESGV SWAT Team manual documenting all relevant standards, policies, training, and practices for the ESGV SWAT Team.
8. ASSIGNMENT OF PERSONNEL
Each Member’s respective Chief of Police, or his/her designee, must approve the assignment of personnel to the ESGV SWAT Team. Officers assigned to the ESGV SWAT Team shall have a minimum of three years’ experience as a full-time police officer. The Chiefs of Police, or their designees, may reject from consideration any candidate from their respective agency regardless of whether they meet minimum qualifications. Following initial assignment of personnel, assignment of officers to the ESGV SWAT Team will be reviewed on a yearly basis. The Tactical Team Commander may request the Chiefs of Police, or their designees, remove any officer from the ESGV SWAT Team who is a member of his/her respective department for not adhering to the policies and procedures of the ESGV SWAT Team and/or this Agreement.
5 9. TEAM MANAGEMENT
Each participating Member shall provide one police Lieutenant to be assigned to the ESGV SWAT Team if their staffing levels permit and the Lieutenant has the experience necessary to lead the ESGV SWAT Team. Each Lieutenant shall act as a liaison for their respective police agency, and shall assist with team management and supervision. If a Chief of Police does not have a qualified Lieutenant, he or she may designate another department member of commensurate skill and experience to fill the role as department liaison.
From the assigned liaisons, the Chiefs of Police, or their designees, shall select an ESGV SWAT Team Commander, who shall have overall responsibility for managing the ESGV SWAT Team.
Each of the other liaisons shall be subordinate to the Team Commander and designated as Assistant Tactical Team Commanders. Assistant Tactical Commanders shall be responsible for directing the ESGV SWAT Team when the Tactical Team Commander is not available.
Officers assigned to the ESGV SWAT Team will work under the supervision of the Tactical Team Commander and team participants assigned as supervisors. Team members will follow all policies, procedures, and guidelines specifically approved by concurrence of the Chiefs of Police for ESGV SWAT Team operations. Should any of the ESGV SWAT Team policies or procedures conflict with the department rules or respective Members, the Members shall immediately bring the conflict to the attention of the Tactical Team Commander or supervisors.
Supervisors will then take the necessary action to eliminate the conflict consistent with the department rules of the respective Member.
10. ACTIVATION CRITERIA
The ESGV SWAT Team will, as able in light of available staffing, suitable equipment, and time demands, respond to critical incidents at the request of the on-duty Watch Commander or higher authority of the Member agency affected by the critical incident. Critical incidents include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Hostage Situations — The holding of any person(s) against their will by an armed or potentially armed suspect or by any other means.
• Barricaded Subjects — The standoff created by an armed or potentially armed suspect in any location, whether fortified or not, who is refusing to comply with police demands to surrender.
• Active Shooter Situations — The firing upon of citizens and/or police by an armed suspect, whether stationary or mobile.
• High-Risk Apprehensions — The arrest or apprehension of armed or potentially armed suspects where the likelihood of armed resistance is likely.
6 • High-Risk Warrant Service — The service of arrest or search warrants where the warrant dynamics or policy recommends or requires the use of a tactical team. • Protection Operations — The security of specific persons, such as dignitaries, witnesses, or suspects based on threat or potential threat to the well-being of those persons, or the protection of places at risk due to special events or unusual conditions. • Special Assignments — Any assignment approved by a Chief of Police or their designee, based upon a high threat level.
Additional criteria to consider when determining if the ESGV SWAT Team will be utilized are:
• The suspect has committed a criminal act or is in dangerous mental condition; or • The suspect is believed to be armed; or
• The suspect has refused to submit to arrest; or
• By the nature of the situation, an unacceptable risk is presented to police officers or the public.
11. ACTIVATION PROCEDURE
If the event falls within the aforementioned guidelines, the on-duty Watch Commander/Incident Commander will evaluate the situation. If a response by the ESGV SWAT Team is appropriate and necessary, the Member will notify the Tactical Team Commander, who will make the decision to activate the ESGV SWAT Team and make decisions regarding personnel recall.
12. COMMAND AND CONTROL
When the ESGV SWAT Team is activated, the Tactical Team Commander, or his or her designee, will report directly to the Incident Commander at the scene. The Tactical Team Commander shall define what the operational plan is for the call out as well as what the operational necessity became as events arose. The Incident Commander is responsible for determining the mission(s) to be undertaken to resolve the incident. The Tactical Team Commander is responsible for determining the tactics to be used in carrying out the mission(s) with the approval of the Incident Commander. The Tactical Team Commander or his or her designee shall be the only persons to directly supervise or control any element or member of the ESGV SWAT Team during a critical incident.
13. PERSONNEL COMPLAINT PROCEDURE
In the event of a complaint of misconduct, or a failure to comply with applicable law or policy, or negligence involving any made against any participant of the ESGV SWAT Team, such complaint shall be immediately forwarded to the Chief of that participant’s employing agency.
7 Investigation of, and responses to any such complaint shall be the sole responsibility of the participant’s employing agency. Each Member shall cooperate fully in any such investigation, and shall make available its personnel and records to assist in the investigation to the extent permissible under existing law and applicable personnel rules. In the case of a complaint or complaints against participants of the ESGV SWAT Team assigned by multiple Members, the Chiefs of Police, or their designees, shall determine how and by whom each such complaint shall be investigated and responded to, in compliance with the applicable procedures and contractual obligations of the assigning Members. Each participant of the ESGV SWAT Team shall fully cooperate with investigation to the extent permissible under existing law and applicable personnel rules. Any personnel administrative action resulting from such investigations shall be the sole responsibility of the participant’s employing agency.
14. FIREARMS
Every officer assigned to the ESGV SWAT Team will carry a firearm in accordance with his/her department policies and procedures. Applicable departmental policies concerning the use of firearms shall apply. Any firearm carried by an officer on the ESGV SWAT Team must be approved by his/her department. The officer must meet their respective Member’s qualifying requirements.
15. SPECIAL WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT
The ESGV SWAT Team Commander will work with team leadership to develop and implement appropriate procedures as they apply to the use of special weapons and equipment in accordance with laws and best common practices of the recognized law enforcement tactical profession. To the extent applicable, if the ESGV SWAT Team has or obtains military equipment subject to Government Code section 7070, et seq., the Members shall obtain the requisite approval from their respective governing body or bodies and abide by all other legal requirements associated with the use and/or acquisition of such equipment.
16. INCIDENTS INVOLVING USE OF FORCE
In the event that a participant of the ESGV SWAT Team uses force while engaged in their capacity as a tactical participant in the ESGV SWAT Team, in addition to individual requirements that each participant may have pursuant to their employer’s policies and law, the Tactical Team Commander will ensure that immediate notification is made to the Member agency. Furthermore, if a use of force results in death, then the Tactical Team Commander shall notify the following entities for investigation:
• The jurisdictional law enforcement agency in which the incident took place; • The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau (if the incident occurs in Los Angeles County);
8 • The Watch Commander of the ESGV SWAT Team participant’s respective agency; and, • The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Rollout Team (if the incident occurs in Los Angeles County).
Any discharge of a weapon by a member participant of the ESGV SWAT Team for any authorized mission which misses its intended target, whether deadly force was authorized or not, shall be immediately reported to the Tactical Team Commander for follow up investigation as dictated by law and the protocols of the jurisdiction in which the use of force took place.
Any unintended discharge of a weapon by any participant of the ESGV SWAT Team while acting in that capacity at an authorized mission or at team training shall be immediately reported to the Tactical Team Commander for follow up investigation as dictated by law and the protocols of the jurisdiction in which the discharge took place
In those cases in which death results from actions taken by one or more ESGV SWAT Team participants outside of Los Angeles County, the criminal investigation will be handled as dictated by the laws and protocols of the applicable jurisdiction where the use of force occurred.
17. TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION
This MOU shall remain in full force and effect unless and until it is terminated by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Members. Any Member may withdraw from membership in the ESGV SWAT Team at any time and for any or no reason, upon giving not less than thirty (30) calendar days written notice to all of the Members’ Chiefs of Police, or their designees. Any cost, payment or reimbursement due from any withdrawing Member shall be paid in full or reimbursement due from any Members to the withdrawing Member shall be paid in full or otherwise released by all Members prior to the effective date of the withdrawal. A Member may be removed from this MOU by a majority vote of the Chiefs of Police of the respective Members.
18. ADDITIONAL AGENCY PARTICIPANTS

Approved new member agencies shall execute an agreement to this MOU, as the same may be amended from time to time, prior to joining the EGSV SWAT Team.
19. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

COORDINATOR
LOPEZ
RUTH QUEJIA Ruth Quejia presented herself as the realtor representing the Aquayo family, which has participated in the agency’s loan program in the past to rehabilitate their home and stated that her clients have not been able to sell their property since it is tied down with the program’s 45-year covenant. She argued her viewpoint that this covenant should not apply to the Aguayo property.
CHAIR AMBRIZ Chair Ambriz asked Mrs. Quejia whether the Aguayos received a grant or a loan to rehabilitate their home, to which Mrs. Quejia stated that staff represented to the Aguayos that the funds were a grant.
FRED BARBOSA Fred Barbosa blamed the Housing Authority for what he called “substandard” work performed at his house under the rehabilitation loan program by a contractor.
CASEY MIRANDA Casey Miranda stated that the Aguayos are willing to repay the loan amount that they received from the Housing Authority as part of the rehabilitation loan and suggested that the Board hire a different consultant to help find a way to enable the Aguayos to do so. He also requested the same for his parents who are in a similar situation.
ROBERT DIAZ Robert Diaz suggested that the Aguayos be allowed to repay the amount of the rehabilitation loan that they received and suggested that the Board consider changing the program guidelines to avoid tying program participants to covenants.

FRED BARBOSA Fred Barbosa mentioned he had to obtain a high interest loan to rehabilitate his home.
BOARD MEMBER Responding to a question by Board Member Ortiz, Coordinator ORTIZ Lopez confirmed that RSG was the consultant that has worked with Housing Authority staff on these types of loans in the past.
Board Member Ortiz stated that the consultant has made errors in the past and that the Board has previously indicated that it does not wish to work with this consultant in the future, to which Coordinator Lopez stated that staff has requested the consultant’s assistance in formulating a loan repayment formula, and briefly discussed the program requirements which creates the need to determine a way to release program participants from covenants while still making the Housing Authority whole and comply with all laws.
Board Member Ortiz requested that staff resolve this matter as soon as possible and, in the future, find a different consultant to work with when considering changes to the program guidelines.
RUTH QUEJIA Ruth Quejia reiterated her prior comments and requested that the Aguayo property be excluded from the covenant’s requirements.
CASEY MIRANDA Casey Miranda concurred and stated that the Aguayo’s will be unable to benefit from their property’s equity under the program’s current restrictions.
COORDINATOR Coordinator Lopez stated that Housing Authority staff has worked LOPEZ with RSG since the firm is very knowledgeable regarding state law and requirements for these types of programs. Staff will present additional information to the Board as soon as it is received from RSG.
GENERAL COUNSEL General Counsel Guerra added that a third-party consultant was GUERRA sought so that an independent body can ensure that the program is formed to make the agency whole. He noted that a document provided by Mrs. Quejia states several times that the funding that the Aguayos received were a loan.
BOARD MEMBER Board Member Breceda concurred and added that the program BRECEDA requirements were initially drafted by the Housing Authority’s legal counsel with input from RSG. He acknowledged that the program requirements are stringent and stated that, though the program needs to make the agency whole, participants should not be held “hostage”. He also noted that any options presented to the Aguayo family would also need to be extended to all other program participants.

BOARD MEMBER In response Board Member Ortiz’s request to avoid using RSG in the ORTIZ future, Coordinator Lopez recommended waiting until input from the firm is received so that the Board can contemplate whether the recommendations should be utilized, though staff will keep the Board’s request in mind for the future.
CHAIR AMBRIZ Chair Ambriz suggested that the Board and staff take into consideration the comments made at tonight’s meeting and work diligently to find a quick resolution to the concerns raised.
ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to conduct, the meeting was adjourned at 9:16 p.m.
