Phase 3 only has 4 locations left to complete. Mr. Gierke also reviewed the number of clients for residential and business, explained that a competitor told customers that KBMF are going out of business, and they have lost some customers as a result. Council Member Pursell Jr. asked how KBMF will avoid this happening with future customers. Mr. Gierke explained that a plan for existing customers will have to talk to them before cancelling and they will reach out to existing customers to let them know the rumor is not true.

New customers will be placed on a contract to avoid this kind of situation again.

Council Member Silva asked if they have had outreach with new home builders. Mr. Gierke answered yes and added that they have signed a contract with Fresno Housing Authority.

Council Member Smith asked when the project will be completed. Mr. Gierk explained barring the Caltrans issues, the actual fiber will be done this month. They discussed the timeline of getting people up and going.

Growth Management System Rolling Allocation Discussion- Staff Report by Community Development Director Holly Owen
Sponsor: Community Development Department
Director Holly Owens continued the discussion about the 3-year rolling allocation section of the growth management coordinates. Chapter 16.09 of Title 16 of the Kingsburg Municipal Code implements the Growth Management Amendment to the City Charter passed by the voters of the City of Kingsburg in the election of November 2, 2004. Chapter 16.09 establishes a Growth Management System to limit the rate of residential growth in the City to a level compatible with the size, financial limitations, resource constraints and service capabilities of the City and the service providers within the City.

The ordinance requires that applications for allocations must be filed with the City Planning and Development Department on or before 4:00 p.m. on September 30, 2023. As that 2023 date fell on a weekend, the closing date for allocations was October 2nd. One application for allocations was received by the date required, and staff is reviewing the application. Per direction of the ordinance, the results of the rating and ranking will be presented to Planning Commission on their first meeting in November, with a recommendation to Council as the outcome of their consideration.

Kingsburg City Council Minutes
October 18, 2023
Dave Crinklaw, Weststar Construction, is for the rolling the allocations. It helps the completion of a project instead of having to have long pauses that could include unfinished infrastructure. The North Kingsburg Specific Plan is wonderful.

Council Member Pursell, Jr. said the number one thing he hears from constituents is that they do not want any more growth. He would like to review the ordinance; it is 10 years old. He is not against growth, he would like it done in the way that it is good for Kingsburg. An educational workshop could be helpful. He does not want to do anything until the housing element is approved.

Council Member North gave the history on the intent of the ordinance. She wants to keep the Kingsburg experience. She thinks the spirit of this worked, no growth for over a decade. She doesn’t think there is a growth problem, she does think there is an educational issue. We have only added 1,002 people in 10 years.

Council Member Smith agreed, she hears about the growth from constituents. Our growth has been kept pretty minimal; it has been below 3% annually. She would like to solicit feedback and input with the community.

Council Member Silva said we want Kingsburg to stay Kingsburg. He would also like education and outreach to citizens.

Mayor Palomar also hears about growth from residents. He would like to see a workshop on this to get the public’s input.

City Manager Henderson said we can look at phasing for developers. Also, we can look at rolling over allocations in the future and not allowing the use housing allocations that were not used in the past.

Community Development Director Owen said we are the only ones in the central valley with a growth management ordinance that has stood the test of time and review by the State.

Informational - No Action Deemed Necessary.

Strategic Plan Update – Staff Report by Assistant City Manager Christina Windover Sponsor: Assistant City Manager’s Office
Assistant City Manager Christina Windover gave an update from our two-day work sessions. The City of Kingsburg’s Strategic Plan helps prioritize the City’s efforts to achieve a shared Vision, Mission, and Strategic Goals that reflect the community priorities and needs. City staff is asking Council to approve the Mission and Vision statements as well as the 5 identified goals so they can start incorporating them into city communications, documents, and branding.

Council Member Pursell Jr., wanted to make sure citizens understood the time and effort that was put into this project. It is more than a motivational poster; these ideas embody the City of Kingsburg.

A motion was made by Council Member North, seconded by Council Member Smith, to approve the Mission Statement, Vision Statement, and the Strategic Goals. The motion carried by an unanimous voice vote.

These contracts allow the Kingsburg Fire Department to pay monies forward into the IGT overseen by the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) allowing the IGT investment to receive monies afterward in the form of net new revenue from the IGT agreements. These agreements make it possible for ambulance services to be reimbursed as a function of the contract monies that were billed, but not received from Medicare, Medical and Medicaid. Each year these contracts must be renewed as a matter of usual and customary business of the Enterprise of the Kingsburg Fire Department Ambulance. This agreement is in year two of a three-year agreement beginning in 1/1/2022 It is signed every year by the City of Kingsburg and DHCS to allow the entities listed above to reimburse the Ambulance Enterprise for Medi-Cal Based ambulance runs.

RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL

1. Approve the Fire Department Contracts between DHCS and City of Kingsburg

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)

1. Council could choose to not support the signing of the contracts; however, this would cause an inability of the Ambulance to receive 60% of its funding sources through the IGT and disruption in emergency services due to inability to fully fund the Fire Department Ambulance.

1. Transfer of Public Funds

1.1 The GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY agrees to make a transfer of funds to DHCS pursuant to sections 14164 and 14301.4 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.

The amount transferred shall be based on the sum of the applicable rate category per member per month (“PMPM”) contribution increments multiplied by member months, as reflected in Exhibit

1. The GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY agrees to initially transfer amounts that are calculated using the Estimated Member Months in Exhibit 1, which will be reconciled to actual enrollment for the service period of January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022 in accordance with Sub-Section 1.3 of this Agreement. The funds transferred shall be used as described in SubSection 2.2 of this Agreement. The funds shall be transferred in accordance with the terms and conditions, including schedule and amount, established by DHCS.

1.2 The GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY shall certify that the funds transferred qualify for Federal Financial Participation pursuant to 42 C.F.R. part 433, subpart B, and are not derived from impermissible sources such as recycled Medicaid payments, Federal money excluded from use as State match, impermissible taxes, and non-bona fide provider- CONTRACT # IGT-22-0008

1.3 DHCS shall reconcile the “Estimated Member Months,” in Exhibit 1, to actual enrollment in HEALTH PLAN(S) for the service period of January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022 using actual enrollment figures taken from DHCS records. Enrollment reconciliation will occur on an ongoing basis as updated enrollment figures become available.

Actual enrollment figures will be considered final two years after December 31, 2022. If reconciliation results in an increase to the total amount necessary to fund the nonfederal share of the payments described in Sub-Section 2.2, the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY agrees to transfer any additional funds necessary to cover the difference. If reconciliation results in a decrease to the total amount necessary to fund the nonfederal share of the payments described in Sub-Section 2.2, DHCS agrees to return the unexpended funds to the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY. If DHCS and the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY mutually agree, amounts due to or owed by the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY may be offset against future transfers.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Palomar & City Council
REPORT FROM: Daniel Perkins, Fire Chief REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Consumer Price Index (CPI) based Proposed Ambulance Rate Adjustment ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance __√ __Resolution √ Motion ______Receive/File

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To continue the efforts of the Fire Department to remain solvent as an enterprise for the City of Kingsburg, it has become necessary to adjust the ambulance rates that the ambulance charges for the services it provides. Raising the ambulance rates for the persons in the 150 plus square mile county contracted area of the ambulance will not negatively impact the majority of the persons that the ambulance currently serves- as nearly 95% of those billed by the ambulance have medical insurance of some sort - 60% Medicare/Medical, 35% Private Insurance and 2 % private pay - no insurance.

The last increase for ambulance rates was done in 2022. Council at that time had directed staff to research and come back yearly with determinations of annual respective price increases to the rates charged by the Fire Department Ambulance so that another large rate increase would not be necessary in the future. Staff, under direction from council, has researched and proposes the following: Each year the ambulance rates will be increased to match the yearly, regional Consumer Price Index taking into account the average of the All Items Consumer Price Index (3.7%) and the Medical CPI (-1.4%). These two data points will be averaged, and the resulting percentage of CPI will be the on-going yearly increase to Kingsburg Fire Department Ambulance Rates.

The proposed two-part average stemming from the September 2023 CPI is 1.15%.

RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL

1. Adopt Resolution 2023-058 Master Fee Update that reflects the recommended ambulance rate changes based upon regional CPI to address council direction to increase year -to- year incremental changes to Ambulance rates.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)

1. Not Adopting the recommended ambulance rate changes will jeopardize the solvency of the Fire department Ambulance program having a negative impact upon Fire Department Ambulance Budget.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION/KEY METRIC

1. Financial Stability

2. Community Safety
Meeting Date: 11/01/2023
Agenda Item: 5.5

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Ambulance billing is complex, and the amount of revenue collected depends on a number of factors, including the type of service provided and the patient’s insurance status. The majority (95%) of KFD calls for service involve patients with some form of insurance The city’s Fire and Ambulance fund operates as an enterprise fund. This is a fund established by a governmental entity to account for operations of an enterprise activity. Enterprise funds generally are segregated as to purpose and use from other funds and accounts of the governmental entity with the intent that revenues generated by the enterprise activity and deposited to the enterprise fund will be devoted principally to funding all operations of the enterprise activity. For Kingsburg, we operate the ambulance in this way to show the true cost of providing the service, which includes losses or “write-offs” for uncollectable revenues.

Adjusting the rates yearly in perpetuity based upon the average of the All Goods and Medical CPIs will ensure that large bulk increases to ambulance rates might be avoided in the future.

PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
The City Council last adjusted ambulance charges for service in 2022.

Technical Note
Brief Explanation of the CPI
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the change in prices paid by consumers for goods and services. The CPI reflects spending patterns for each of two population groups: all urban consumers and urban wage earners and clerical workers. The all urban consumer group represents over 90 percent of the total U.S. population. It is based on the expenditures of almost all residents of urban or metropolitan areas, including professionals, the self-employed, the poor, the unemployed, and retired people, as well as urban wage earners and clerical workers. Not included in the CPI are the spending patterns of people living in rural nonmetropolitan areas, farming families, people in the Armed Forces, and those in institutions, such as prisons and mental hospitals. Consumer inflation for all urban consumers is measured by two indexes, namely, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U).

The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) is based on the expenditures of households included in the CPI-U definition that meet two requirements: more than onehalf of the household's income must come from clerical or wage occupations, and at least one of the household's earners must have been employed for at least 37 weeks during the previous 12 months. The CPI-W population represents approximately 30 percent of the total U.S. population and is a subset of the CPI-U population.

The CPIs are based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, fuels, transportation, doctors’ and dentists’ services, drugs, and other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected each month in 75 urban areas across the country from about 6,000 housing units and approximately 22,000 retail establishments (department stores, supermarkets, hospitals, filling stations, and other types of stores and service establishments). All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are included in the index. Prices of fuels and a few other items are obtained every month in all 75 locations.

Prices of most other commodities and services are collected every month in the three largest geographic areas and every other month in other areas. Prices of most goods and services are obtained by personal visit, telephone call, web, or app collection by the Bureau’s trained representatives.

In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are aggregated using weights, which represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. For the CPI-U and CPI-W, separate indexes are also published by size of city, by region of the country, for cross-classifications of regions and population-size classes, and for 23 selected local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices among cities; they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period. For the C-CPI-U, data are issued only at the national level. The CPI-U and CPI-W are considered final when released, but the C-CPI-U is issued in preliminary form and subject to three subsequent quarterly revisions.

The index measures price change from a designed reference date. For most of the CPI-U and the CPI-W, the reference base is 1982-84 equals 100. The reference base for the C-CPI-U is December 1999 equals 100. An increase of 7 percent from the reference base, for example, is shown as 107.000. Alternatively, that relationship can also be expressed as the price of a base period market basket of goods and services rising from $100 to $107.

Sampling Error in the CPI
The CPI is a statistical estimate that is subject to sampling error because it is based upon a sample of retail prices and not the complete universe of all prices. BLS calculates and publishes estimates of the 1- month, 2-month, 6-month, and 12-month percent change standard errors annually for the CPI-U. These standard error estimates can be used to construct confidence intervals for hypothesis testing. For example, the estimated standard error of the 1-month percent change is 0.03 percent for the U.S. all items CPI. This means that if we repeatedly sample from the universe of all retail prices using the same methodology, and estimate a percentage change for each sample, then 95 percent of these estimates will be within 0.06 percent of the 1-month percentage change based on all retail prices. For example, for a 1- month change of 0.2 percent in the all items CPI-U, we are 95 percent confident that the actual percent change based on all retail prices would fall between 0.14 and 0.26 percent. For the latest data, including information on how to use the estimates of standard error, see www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/varianceestimates/home.htm.

Calculating Index Changes
Movements of the indexes from 1 month to another are usually expressed as percent changes rather than changes in index points, because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period, while percent changes are not. The following table shows an example of using index values to calculate percent changes:

Item A Item B Item C
Year I 112.500 225.000 110.000
Year II 121.500 243.000 128.000
Change in index
points 9.000 18.000 18.000
Percent change 9.0/112.500 x 100 = 8.0 18.0/225.000 x 100 = 8.0 18.0/110.000 x 100 = 16.4 Use of Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) program produces both unadjusted and seasonally adjusted data.

Seasonally adjusted data are computed using seasonal factors derived by the X-13ARIMA-SEATS seasonal adjustment method. These factors are updated each February, and the new factors are used to revise the previous 5 years of seasonally adjusted data. The factors are available at www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/seasonal-adjustment/seasonal-factors-2023.xlsx. For more information on data revision scheduling, please see the Factsheet on Seasonal Adjustment at www.bls.gov/cpi/seasonaladjustment/questions-and-answers.htm and the Timeline of Seasonal Adjustment Methodological Changes at www.bls.gov/cpi/seasonal-adjustment/timeline-seasonal-adjustment-methodologychanges.htm.

How to Use Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data
For analyzing short-term price trends in the economy, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the same magnitude every year—such as price movements resulting from weather events, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales. This allows data users to focus on changes that are not typical for the time of year.

The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay.

Unadjusted data are also used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index before adjustment for seasonal variation. BLS advises against the use of seasonally adjusted data in escalation agreements because seasonally adjusted series are revised annually.

Intervention Analysis
The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses intervention analysis seasonal adjustment (IASA) for some CPI series. Sometimes extreme values or sharp movements can distort the underlying seasonal pattern of price change. Intervention analysis seasonal adjustment is a process by which the distortions caused by such unusual events are estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors.

The resulting seasonal factors, which more accurately represent the seasonal pattern, are then applied to the unadjusted data.

For example, this procedure was used for the motor fuel series to offset the effects of the 2009 return to normal pricing after the worldwide economic downturn in 2008. Retaining this outlier data during seasonal factor calculation would distort the computation of the seasonal portion of the time series data for motor fuel, so it was estimated and removed from the data prior to seasonal adjustment. Following that, seasonal factors were calculated based on this “prior adjusted” data. These seasonal factors represent a clearer picture of the seasonal pattern in the data. The last step is for motor fuel seasonal factors to be applied to the unadjusted data.

For the seasonal factors introduced for January 2023, BLS adjusted 57 series using intervention analysis seasonal adjustment, including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels and vehicles.

Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Indexes
Seasonally adjusted data, including the U.S. city average all items index levels, are subject to revision for up to 5 years after their original release. Every year, economists in the CPI calculate new seasonal factors for seasonally adjusted series and apply them to the last 5 years of data. Seasonally adjusted indexes beyond the last 5 years of data are considered to be final and not subject to revision. For January 2023, revised seasonal factors and seasonally adjusted indexes for 2018 to 2022 were calculated and published. For series which are directly adjusted using the Census X-13ARIMA-SEATS seasonal adjustment software, the seasonal factors for 2022 will be applied to data for 2023 to produce the seasonally adjusted 2023 indexes. Series which are indirectly seasonally adjusted by summing seasonally adjusted component series have seasonal factors which are derived and are therefore not available in advance.

Determining Seasonal Status
Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. Using these criteria, BLS economists determine whether a series should change its status from "not seasonally adjusted" to "seasonally adjusted", or vice versa. If any of the 81 components of the U.S. city average all items index change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used in the aggregation of the dependent series for the last 5 years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes before that period will not be changed. For 2023, 37 of the 81 components of the U.S. city average all items index are not seasonally adjusted. - 8 -

8 Indexes on a 1987=100 base.

NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses.

Since the expenditure data required for the calculation of the C-CPI-U are available only with a time lag, the C-CPI-U is issued first in preliminary form using the latest available expenditure data at that time and is subject to four revisions.

Indexes are issued as initial estimates. Indexes are revised each quarter with the publication of January, April, July, and October data as updated expenditure estimates become available. The C-CPI-U indexes are updated quarterly until they become final. January-March indexes are final in January of the following year; April-June indexes are final in April of the following year; July-September indexes are final in July of the following year; October-December indexes are final in October of the following year.

.................................................... 2.200 0.6 0.014 0.17 L-Apr.2023 1.1 1 The ’effect’ of an item category is a measure of that item’s contribution to the All items price change. For example, if the Food index had an effect of

0.40, and the All items index rose 1.2 percent, then the increase in food prices contributed 0.40 / 1.2, or 33.3 percent, to that All items increase.

Said another way, had food prices been unchanged for that month the change in the All items index would have been 1.2 percent minus 0.40, or 0.8 percent. Effects can be negative as well. For example, if the effect of food was a negative 0.1, and the All items index rose 0.5 percent, the All items index actually would have been 0.1 percent higher (or 0.6 percent) had food prices been unchanged. Since food prices fell while prices overall were rising, the contribution of food to the All items price change was negative (in this case, -0.1 / 0.5, or minus 20 percent). 2 A statistic’s margin of error is often expressed as its point estimate plus or minus two standard errors. For example, if a CPI category rose 0.6 percent, and its standard error was 0.15 percent, the margin of error on this item’s 1-month percent change would be 0.6 percent, plus or minus 0.3 percent.
3 If the current seasonally adjusted 1-month percent change is greater than the previous published 1-month percent change, then this column identifies the closest prior month with a 1-month percent change as (L)arge as or (L)arger than the current 1-month change. If the current 1-month percent change is smaller than the previous published 1-month percent change, the most recent month with a change as (S)mall or (S)maller than the current month change is identified. If the current and previous published 1-month percent changes are equal, a dash will appear. Standard numerical comparisons are used. For example, 0.8% is greater than 0.6%, -0.4% is less than -0.2%, and -0.2% is less than 0.0%. Note that a (L)arger change can be a smaller decline, for example, a -0.2% change is larger than a -0.4% change, but still represents a decline in the price index. Likewise, (S)maller changes can be increases, for example, a 0.6% change is smaller than 0.8%, but still represents an increase in the price index. In this context, a -0.2% change is considered to be smaller than a 0.0% change. 4 Not seasonally adjusted.

For example, if the Food index had an effect of

0.40, and the All items index rose 1.2 percent, then the increase in food prices contributed 0.40 / 1.2, or 33.3 percent, to that All items increase.

Said another way, had food prices been unchanged for that year the change in the All items index would have been 1.2 percent minus 0.40, or 0.8 percent. Effects can be negative as well. For example, if the effect of food was a negative 0.1, and the All items index rose 0.5 percent, the All items index actually would have been 0.1 percent higher (or 0.6 percent) had food prices been unchanged. Since food prices fell while prices overall were rising, the contribution of food to the All items price change was negative (in this case, -0.1 / 0.5, or minus 20 percent). 2 A statistic’s margin of error is often expressed as its point estimate plus or minus two standard errors. For example, if a CPI category rose 2.6 percent, and its standard error was 0.25 percent, the margin of error on this item’s 12-month percent change would be 2.6 percent, plus or minus

0.5 percent.
3 If the current 12-month percent change is greater than the previous published 12-month percent change, then this column identifies the closest prior month with a 12-month percent change as (L)arge as or (L)arger than the current 12-month change. If the current 12-month percent change is smaller than the previous published 12-month percent change, the most recent month with a change as (S)mall or (S)maller than the current month change is identified. If the current and previous published 12-month percent changes are equal, a dash will appear. Standard numerical comparison is used. For example, 2.0% is greater than 0.6%, -4.4% is less than -2.0%, and -2.0% is less than 0.0%. Note that a (L)arger change can be a smaller decline, for example, a -0.2% change is larger than a -0.4% change, but still represents a decline in the price index. Likewise, (S)maller changes can be increases, for example, a 0.6% change is smaller than 0.8%, but still represents an increase in the price index. In this context, a -0.2% change is considered to be smaller than a 0.0% change. 4 Indexes on a December 1997=100 base.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Palomar & City Council
REPORT FROM: AJ O’Connell, MCP, CBO, CCEA – Building Official REVIEWED BY: AH AGENDA ITEM: Code Enforcement Officer Safety Standards
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2021, the California State Legislature found and declared in Senate Bill 296 that Code Enforcement Officers are disproportionately at risk for threat, assault, injury, and homicide due to the nature of their obligations. SB 296 added section 829.7 to the California Penal Code requiring local jurisdictions that employ Code Enforcement Officers to develop specific safety standards for Code Enforcement Officers within their employ. SB 296 was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom on October 7, 2021.

SB 296 permits jurisdictions to retain the control to design and implement training and safety protocols consistent with the dynamics and needs of their own respective communities.

The Safety Standards presented place an emphasis on situational awareness, avoiding conflict, and deescalation. The Standards establish communication procedures, incident reporting, and avenues for continuing education and training.

All identified officers within the Safety Standards will be required to review and acknowledge the provisions. This attestation will then be added to the personnel file of the Officer.

The Safety Standards will be a living document and to be updated as needed. Review of the document will take place annually, or after any incident.

RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL

1. Staff recommends the approval of the Code Enforcement Officer Safety Standards as presented.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)

1. Amend the Safety Standards.

STRATEGIC GOAL(S) MET:

1. Improve Public Safety
Meeting Date: 11/01/2023
Agenda Item: 5.8

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Safety Standards propose an assortment of required equipment for Officers. This equipment is either considered minor in nature, which would be purchased utilizing existing appropriated funds, or will utilize surplus stock not in current use by City employees.

PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
On August 16, 2023, the City Council approved the City of Kingsburg Injury and Illness Prevention Program (“IIPP”).

The proposed Safety Standards will be incorporated into the IIPP and reviewed annually, as per the approved policy.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
According to the California Association of Code Enforcement Officers (CACEO), 141 safety incidents involving Code Enforcement Officers were reported between 2015 and 2021. This included 29 incidents of actual attacks, assaults, and being held against one’s will, and 108 incidents involving a form of threat, stalking, or brandishing a weapon.

The goal of Code Enforcement is to achieve voluntary compliance by focusing on customer service.

However, not all encounters have an equal degree of resolution, and, in rare occasions, Officer safety concerns may arise. The intent of these safety standards is to allow the level of Code Enforcement that best fits the type and circumstances of the code violation(s), environment, and to maximize available resources.

V. BACKGROUND
California State Senate Bill No. 296 was approved by Governor Gavin Newsom after the California State Legislature found and declared that Officers are disproportionately at risk for threat, assault, injury, and even homicide due to the nature of their obligations. On October 7, 2021, Section 829.7 was added to the California Penal Code relating to Officers and requiring each local jurisdiction that employs Officers to develop safety standards appropriate for the Officers employed within their jurisdiction. Although there is no local, state or national set standard for Officer, each jurisdiction is required to develop safety standards to ensure that the best interests of the Officers performing these types of duties are considered.

VI. SAFETY PROCEDURES
A. Safety Concerns

A full case history must be reviewed prior to visiting any property or place of business. The use of case history and documentation is vital to safety. When engaging in a proactive enforcement activity, research the property on the GovPilot Inspect App for any current or past case history and notes before initiating contact with the resident or business tenant. Utilizing local law enforcement property history is highly recommended.

To maintain safety for all Officers, whether in the field or in the office, all Code Enforcement Officers in the City of Kingsburg shall use the BASE Rule:

Book Smart
Alert
Scan for Warning Signs
Evacuate
Best practices for BASE include:

1. Officers should know the property or place of business’s case history. Research, knowledge, and wisdom are powerful tools to have when approaching a potentially dangerous situation.

2. Officers should always ACT WITH PURPOSE. It establishes confidence, commands presence, and can act as a deterrent to an attack.

3. Plan an escape route before approaching a house, business, or vacant property. Every time contact is made, consider what options are available if something goes wrong. This is extremely important when dealing with hostile people or animals.

4. Always park the vehicle facing the direction of exit or escape. a. Never park in driveways and avoid parking stalls, if possible. If parking in a stall is the only option, back into it.

5. Take documentation photos before initiating contact whenever possible.

6. Officers should eliminate distractions. Officers should not do anything that will prevent them from safely making observations and interacting with the public. Ask clients to write down their questions while the inspection is performed, letting them know that they will be answered in ample time.

7. During field interviews, Officers shall ensure that they:
a. Have an escape route readily available,
b. Are alert for warning signs of aggression from both people and animals on the property. i. When contacting an individual, attempt to determine if there are other people or animals on the property. Ask for any hazards on the property such as failed septic systems, hazardous electrical, etc.
ii. Be alert for weapons. If an Officer observes what they think is a weapon, end the conversation and leave the area safely and immediately. Be aware of nearby objects that could be used as weapons by a hostile individual, such as garden tools, screwdrivers, knives, 2x4s, pipes, etc.
iii. When talking to individuals, try to maintain at least an arm’s-length distance and a blade, balanced stance on firm ground to be able to dodge a sudden lunge, punch, or kick. A bladed stance is when one foot is in front of the other and the body is at an angle to the individual in front of the Officer.
iv. Avoid standing downhill, facing the sun, or at the edge of something that could lead to a trip or fall.

8. Do not walk in front of a violator. Let them lead the way when walking into, out of, or around a structure or property.

9. Officers shall exhibit care when dealing with animals. a. All animals encountered in the field shall be treated with caution, regardless of size, breed, or species. Watch for aggressive or threatening behavior and respond accordingly. b. Have a responsible party secure any animals which may be hostile to an Officer during the inspection.

10. Inspecting Vacant Buildings/Structures
a. Officers shall NOT enter a non-residential building/structure that appears to be currently occupied for the purpose of an inspection. If a building or structure has indications of being occupied, the Officer shall attempt to contact a responsible party to determine occupancy and safely contact any individual(s) that may be inside the building/structure. b. In addition to safety concerns, a sign of current occupancy will usually trigger the need to obtain consent or a warrant to continue the inspection. c. Officers should knock loudly and announce their presence when conducting inspections.

Wait for a response and continue to look for signs of current occupancy. d. If the Officer is unable to contact a responsible party, law enforcement may be contacted to ensure that the inspection of the building/structure can be made safely.

Expectations

1. When in the field, the Officer is expected to know their approximate location to be able to report it in the case of an emergency.

2. Officers are expected to strive to maintain a “professional face” when interacting with upset or angry individuals to remain detached enough to safely observe the actions of the individual and assess any possible threats or hazardous situations.

3. Officers are expected to make note of suspicious activity or hazard for reporting to the appropriate agency. This also includes offensive or threatening remarks directed to the Officer while on the property.

4. Officers are never expected to knowingly put themselves into dangerous or harmful situations. a. When an Officer may face potentially dangerous or harmful situations, staff shall consult with a supervisor to address the hazards. Such measures to address the hazards could include taking a second Officer, contacting Kingsburg Police Department, or performing the inspection only after law enforcement has mitigated the hazard. b. If an Officer observed a hazard which constitutes an immediate threat to life or property, the Officer shall immediately take steps to ensure their safety and make the necessary notification to 911 and/or other first responders. Immediately after this notification, the Officer shall contact their supervisor or designee when it is safe to do so.

5. The most important thing to do if the area does not appear to be safe is to LEAVE THE AREA.

The best response for an Officer when confronted with a direct threat is to safely and immediately leave.

6. Come back another day.
a. A principal of thinking known as the W.I.N Principle: What’s Important Now. If the situation does not warrant immediate, on-site action, and if something does not feel right, leave.
b. There is a high probability that any violations that may have existed on the day of inspection will continue to be observed on another day. The response, however, can be done with additional resources or Officers on another day. c. If there is a clear and present violation that immediately threatens health, fire, and life safety, then immediate action may be warranted. Coordinate plans with law enforcement and fire departments for support.

Threats, Assaults, and Batteries
All threats, assaults, and batteries directed at Officers are considered serious, regardless of their intent or in jest. They shall be reported to supervisors, management, and/or law enforcement immediately as soon as it is safe to do so. Officers should obtain as much information as safely possible about the subject making the threat, assault, or battery, including their intent, ability, and desire to carry out their actions.

All of this information shall be reported to law enforcement.

Avoiding Conflict
The use of body language, choice of words, and tone should all be employed to de-escalate a potentially hostile situation. Use these techniques if it is safe to do so. Conflict resolution training may be available and is recommended for all Officers.

If de-escalation is not effective, the Officer should end the communication and leave the area. This applies to both hostile subjects and hostile animals.

B. Reporting
Officers are required to immediately report all Official/staff safety issues to a supervisor.

After a verbal notification of an Officer/staff safety issue, the supervisor shall require the Officer to submit a written report of the situation to Human Resources.

C. Communication
The goal of Kingsburg Code Enforcement is always to educate the public first by using a respectful attitude, proper tone, and effective communication. While attacks on Officers are exceedingly rare, they have occurred.

Officers shall utilize de-escalation techniques, crisis intervention tactics and other alternatives when it is safe and feasible to do so. Officers should obtain training and guidance on when and how to use communication, de-escalation, and crisis intervention strategies to defuse and resolve encounters.

Officers are encouraged to consider the following:

1. Communication should be the first option, if the situation safely allows the time and distance for such communication to occur. Officers should maintain communication throughout any encounter under such circumstances;

2. How to approach, greet, engage, adapt, repair, and close the event or conversation in an effective manner;

3. Tactical methods such as time, distance, cover, and concealment in a dangerous situation;

4. The impact of volume, tone, pace, and demeanor on communication;

5. Giving respect and dignity;

6. Active listening;

7. Ability to give and receive constructive feedback;

8. Mindful attention;

9. Providing a voice to others and the value of allowing people to “vent”;

10. Non-verbal communication and behavioral cues;

11. Questioning strategies: open vs. closed-ended;

12. Persuasion strategies: rational, personal, or ethical appeals;

13. Dealing with difficult or dominating people;

14. Inappropriate communication;

15. WAIT strategy – “Why Am I Talking?”

16. Officers should consider whether an individual’s non-compliance may be due to a medical condition, mental impairment, substance interaction, developmental or physical disabilities, or other considerations that may be beyond the individual’s control. If safe and feasible, Officers should use de-escalation techniques, or alternative resources (such as calling in additional trained personnel).

D. Use of Radio/Cell Phone Communications
Officers are required to advise office staff and/or the supervisor of where they will generally be during a shift. It is suggested that the Officer print a hard copy of their inspection requests and leave the copy with office staff or the supervisor. Additionally, Officers are encouraged to expediently update results of inspections on the GovPilot Inspector App so that activity can be monitored in the event of an emergency.

All Officers will be assigned a radio and call sign and will use the radio to inform dispatch of each address where a potential face-to-face interaction may occur. If the inspection can be conducted without leaving the Officer’s vehicle, alerting dispatch is not necessary.

Officers will limit their use of the radio to only essential information to ensure all channels remain open for priority traffic.

E. Missing Officer
Dispatch and supervisors will conduct status checks on Officers via radio and cell phone. If an Officer fails to promptly respond to phone calls or radio communications, the supervisor shall take action to ensure the Officer’s safety. This may include deploying a search team with the assistance of Kingsburg Police Department.

F. Service of Inspection and/or Abatement Warrants
Officers may need to obtain inspection and/or abatement warrants from time to time. Prior to serving or executing such warrant(s), the Officer shall notify their supervisor and coordinate with Kingsburg Police Department to ensure a police officer is present at the service or execution of the warrant(s). The Officer shall coordinate with law enforcement personnel that are present on how to make contact with the occupant(s) and the best method for entry. Forcible entry shall not be used unless a judge has authorized it in the warrant(s). Officers shall not serve or execute an inspection warrant without the presence of law enforcement. The Officer shall report their position to dispatch when arriving and leaving the location subject to the warrant(s).

G. Use of Vehicle
Officers shall not use their personal vehicle in the performance of their job duties. City vehicles shall have the City logo affixed to the side such that identification is easily made.

H. Required Equipment

SB-296 Code enforcement officers: safety standards. (2021-2022) Senate Bill No. 296
CHAPTER 637
An act to add Section 829.7 to the Penal Code, relating to code enforcement officers. [ Approved by Governor October 07, 2021. Filed with Secretary of State October 07, 2021. ]

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 296, Limón. Code enforcement officers: safety standards.

Existing law defines the term “code enforcement officer” as a person who is not a peace officer, who has enforcement authority for health, safety, and welfare requirements, and who is authorized to issue citations or file formal complaints, as specified.

This bill would require each local jurisdiction that employs code enforcement officers to develop safety standards appropriate for the code enforcement officers employed in their jurisdiction. By imposing new duties on local jurisdictions, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

Vote: majority Appropriation: no Fiscal Committee: yes Local Program: yes THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares that code enforcement officers are disproportionately at risk for threat, assault, injury, and even homicide due to the nature of their obligations.

SEC. 2. Section 829.7 is added to the Penal Code, immediately following Section 829.5, to read:
829.7. Each local jurisdiction that employs code enforcement officers shall develop code enforcement officer safety standards appropriate for the code enforcement officers employed in their jurisdiction.

If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
