AGENDA, La Verne City Council Meeting, Monday, November 07, 2022, Page 3 e. Request for Additional Police Clerk Position - The La Verne Police Department is budgeted for five Police Clerks. Over the past year, the Records Division has been understaffed, and as a result, Police Clerks have been tasked with working overtime to complete required staff work to meet current deadlines. The c urrent workload of the Records Division requires an additional clerk to reduce the need for overtime to meet deadlines. The Police Department requests an additional Police Clerk position to increase staffing from five to six Police Clerks.

Police Chief Fl ores recommends that the City Council authorize an additional Police Clerk position to enhance staffing levels and reduce overtime. The cost to fund this additional position with current pay and benefits is $70,700. f. Armored Vehicle Replacement - On May 16, 2022, the City Council authorized the purchase of a 2008 refurbished armored incident vehicle from Lenco for $212,650. The armored incident vehicle will replace the Department's 1982 Dodge Armored Peacekeeper, which had reached its end of life and is bey ond repair. The Department was informed that Lenco had suffered a few supply setbacks, pushing back the delivery date further extending our safety concerns. As a result of their lapse, Lenco has offered to sell the department a new armored vehicle at a significantly reduced price. A new incident armored vehicle from Lenco is $415,000, and they are willing to sell it at a reduced price of $330,000.

Police Chief Flores recommend s that the City Council approve a budget amendment increasing appropriations for the purchase of a new BearCat G3 Armored Incident Response Vehicle from Lenco in the amount of $135,000 supported by the funding resources noted within this report.

g. Request for Additional Funding for Twelve Police Department Vehicles - The Public Works De partment is requesting appropriations to purchase twelve police vehicles that are past their replacement cycle.

Interim Public Works Director Ciotti recommends that the City Council authorize additional appropriations to the Fiscal Year 2022- 23 budget from the General Fund to the equipment replacement fund in the amount of $82,000.00; a uthorize staff to tag onto a competitively bid national contract from Sourcewell (Contract # 091521- NAF). Except for the Tahoe (Mountain View Chevrolet) and Nissan Altima (Metro Nissan) to purchase vehicles as they become available; and authorize High Standard Automotive to outfit 12 police vehicles prior to deployment as noted in the chart below.

h. Purchase of a Sewer Camera Van and a Vactor Truck - The Public Works Department is recommending the replacement of a 1993 LS 8000 Vactor Truck and the 2002 E450 Sewer Camera Van. The expected lead- time for both units is currently at 12 to 13 months. This timeframe will ensure that we can replace the 2002 E450 Sewer Camera V an about a year later than its end of life of 20 years. The 1993 Vactor truck is 10 years overdue for replacement and the unit has been surplus due to emission regulations and the age of unit.

Interim Public Works Director Ciotti recommends that the City Council a uthorize the Interim City Manager to execute a purchase order with Haaker Equipment Company in the amount of $413,996.71 for the purchase of a new short wheelbase Vactor truck and $220,748.94 for the purchase of a new Sewer Camera Van and authorize staff to tag onto a competitively bid national contract from Sourcewell for both Vactor truck (Contract # 122017- FSC) and Cam era Van (Contract # 120721- EVS); and a uthorize additional appropriations to the Fiscal Year 2022 -23 Budget from the Sewer Capital Improvement Fund in the amount of $308,907.

AGENDA, La Verne City Council Meeting, Monday, November 07, 2022, Page 4 i. Aquatic Center Heater(s) Emergency Replacement - Staff, along with the University of La Verne (ULV) and Bonita Unified School District (BUSD) have determined that the two La Verne Aquatic Center pool heaters are unrepairable. The two units are over 15 years old; one unit is not functioning and the other is working at half capacity. Community Services staff and the Public Works Department have reviewed the issue and conclude the units need to be replaced immediately. If the units are not replaced, staff will have to suspend pool operations due to temperature requirements for swim meets and practices. ( Council Member Lau will declare a Conflict of Interest on this item because she is a Board of Trustee Member of the University of La Verne.)
Community Services Manager Duran recommends that the City Council d etermine that the current emergency requires immediate repair to maintain the pool use programming for the community and that there is insufficient time to conduct a for mal bidding process; and

Approve by a four -fifths vote the emergency purchase and installation of two new high efficiency pool heaters at the Aquatic Center by Lincoln Aquatics in the total amount of $233,744 to be funded from the Park Development Fund.

j. Development Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2022 - Government
Code Section 66006 requires development impact fees collected by the City, the related interest income earned, expenditures paid, and beginning and ending fund balance as of June 30 to be made available to the public on an annual basis within 180 days of the fiscal year end.

To: City of La Verne City Council, City of La Verne Planning Department From: Cynthia Gabaldon, Resident 2529 Amherst Street
Date:L0/t7/2022
RE: Comments on Housing Element
one of the first questions that comes to mind is: would the city being doing this if it wasn't forced to do so? Think about that. The second question is: has there been any effort to push for lower RHNA numbers as so many other municipalities are doing? scAG is currently leading a process to Pursue RHNA reform.

The6thCycleRHNAtriggeredscAGtopursuereformoftheRHNAprocess.Severalissueshave been raised by stakeholders related to the regional determination methodology, the use of land planningfactorsinthescAGRHNAmethodology,andbasisforRHNAappeals.commentswere due on August 12. Did the City submit any comments? ls the City participating? ln october 2021, the california state Joint Legislative Audit committee approved an emergenry audit to examine Housing and Community Department (HCD) regional determination process' The request for an audit was based on an assertion that the public had limited information on the formula that HCD uses to calculate the RHNA regional determination numbers, and cited confusionandmistrustamongregionalplanningbodiesandjurisdictions,andtheneedforan independent and objective review of the process'
Find the Audit report here: https://www.auditor.ca.sov/pdfs/reports/2021-125.pdf

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
oHCDmadeseveralerrorsregardingdatacalculationsanddoesnothavesufficient management review process. This means that the QA/QC was poor concerning the math. There were double-counts'
oHCDcouldnotdemonstrateconsistencyandworkgrouprecommendationsregarding severalfactors,includingjobshousingbalanceandhousingdestroyedduringstateof emergency, and lnconsistent application of comparable regions' as required by statute' The state-mandated RHNA allocations do not take into consideration the need for additional services and facilities such as water, schools, fire stations, police, and parks to support these additional housing units. An overcount of 200,000 + in Los Angeles county alone has been found.Also,theprojectionsusedbySCAGwerealsofoundtohavemajorfaults.Whyisnoone at the City publicly questioning any of this?
DoesanyoneonstafforonCouncilknowwhattheCity's"overcrowding"and"costburden" numberi are in the 6th Cycle RHNA calculations. Those two factors alone are causing over 1 24

calculations of 300%. For example, we all probably think that vacancy need is the primary factor for housing calculations. That is not true. Using scAG's own example - where county- wide vacancy need is at 178,869, the ,,overcrowding" factor is at 459,9L7 and "cost burden" is at 117,505. These two factors alone add up to 557,422. The 5th cycle RHNA number for the entire region was 409,060' where are these two new factors really coming from? why has the city council and staff not QUESTIONED these same numbers for the City? (the PPT showing this data is one of the SCAG links at end of this memo)
Total 5th Cycle RHNA cYcle - 409,060
Total 6th cycle RHNA cycle - 1.341 million
Do we really know how much housing is needed? what is our true vacancy need? shouldn't this be the goal?
The city has been provided the information and opportunity to participate in a key municipal task forces to analyze data, share technical and legal resources and to participate in proactive legal actions' The key goal of these groups is for the cities to preserve local control' ln March, city legal counsel confused the Livable california petition (which has been stopped at this time) with the "BRAND-HUANG-MENDOZA TRIPARTISAN LAND USE lNlTlATlvE" Resolution' Thiscitycouncilcan,andsHoULD,takeuptheLandUselnitiativeResolution.

The city needs to stand up for pro-city autonomy housing needs and zoning rights' "we" should not be deferring to the State for our local land use laws or decisions' This is the most pro- property ownership and pro- city autonomy resolution that can be stated at this time.

La Verne is losing its essence. lncreased density is not pro-La Verne' Thewordsandnumbersusedinthisdocumentdonotreflectthecity'smissionstatement.

The long-term consequences of this document as currently stated will be detrimental to La verne' Taking up the Housing Element without considering these factors and at a minimum including a statement on the RHNA Audit is not representing the residents of La Verne' These housing elements are being used as the baseline conditions for changes to our General Plans and ZoningPlans.Thesehousingelementsmustbetakenveryseriously,andYoUmustbecertainthatthe 2 25

Specific Housing Element comments
Edit -
Figure 3- 2 - is referencing Lawndale "Figure 3-2: Median Home Price for Existing Homes in Lawndale" General comment on outreach -
only 440 emails went out notifying on the workshops. Again, why didn't the city use mail or other noticing means to reach out to everyone in the City. Relying on social media is not sufficient either' Item specific comments -
-L2t 8. Monltor City-Owned Mobile Home Parks Shouldn't the City make a direct statement that re-zoning of the Mobile Home Parks is not an option? Anything less will leave an open door to re- development.

There is redevelopment "along Foothill Boulevard" included in the statement' What is this planned redevelopment?
HP-13: 1o. Partnerships with Housing organizations, and Service Providers, and Falth-Based Groups Considering redevelopment of church properties will be the demise of these religious institutions' How is this approach pro-family, pro-faith and pro-neighborhoods? lsn't this discriminatory against faith-based property owners?
The language used within the "schedule" paragraph sounds more like annual land development bullying on these property owners. lt is pushing the churches out' HP.16: Multi- famlly Standards. The statement that the City will be reducing constraints develoPment height, lot coverage, and parking requirements is very anti- neighborhood' lf the City is reducingthe constraints, how are the neighbors supposed to have a voice' This is extremelY contradictory to La Verne's own Mission Statement'
HP -18: 16. Accessory Dwelling Units ln meetings with Planning Staff concerning SB9, we have been told that ADUs won't be an issue in town as
goal of 92 ADUs with over half being low to
other discussions but now in this document
IMPACT neighbors to these properties.
"not many have been requested". ln this section there is a very low income. Why would the City downplay ADUs in
state that almost 100 units are the goal? SB9 WILL
Areas of highest opportunity are found in north La Verne? Where exactly? HP-19: 18. Lot Consolidation Shouldn't this section be reviewed against the City's Mission Statement? It is obvious that that the intent of the city is to make as many developable sites as possible. when do the resident's voices get heard on this? Shouldn't this only be limited to very specific locations' Shouldn't specific qualifie rs be included before something like this approved' How can the City ensure that adjacent ProPerties don't start getting bought, torn down and converted into apartments' What about the NEIGHBoRHooDS! ! !

Hp-21: 21. Adequate Sites to Accommodate the RHNA There is zero mention of the neighborhoods that would be affected by this action. ln this section there is a statement "in response to developer inquires,,; where are the voices of the neighborhoods included? page g3 Housing Element Background Report - Water Capacity "The RHNA falls within the service area projections of the two UWMps. !n addition, water facilities and infrastructure are reported to be in good operating condition. Therefore, it is determined that the city has enough capacity to meet the 2l2t-202g RHNA." How can this be true when this year the existing residents of La Verne were forced to water rationing. More analysis is needed to provide thorough data on water capacity' lf the UWMps include the additional residences and population, why did the residents have to ration this year?

Page 86 ends

DURTNG THE PLANNING pERtOD The Amherst project is listed as being counted towards RHNA. The city planning staff, council Members and Mayor told the residents of Amherst in specific meetings that this project was NOT going to be included in the RHNA numbers. lt appears that the residents were lied to, again.
page g2Housing Element Background Report - Table 5-4. The Amherst project density is noted as low density residential. lt is noted that the city actually used the Mobile Home densities to compare to and Nor the adjacent single- family homes. This proiect is zoned as Medium Densitv residential' Msotuu DBrsfi (0-10dVac)

Gabaldon Housing Comment Memo

This is important as the RHNA numbers and housing legislation was based on much higher numbers - not a loss like this. The city should seriously consider reducing the planned development densitY.

I have previously confirmed that Anthony Portantino is part of a group legislators pushing to recalculate the RHNA numbers.
lf you haven,t figured out yet, many of these new developments end up not being used for low iniome. For example, the apartments on Bonita and Garey are going for over 52000 to over g4000 a month. ( irttps://www.apartmentguide.com/apartments/California/Pomonaflhe- Gabriel/1000587s9/)
The cities in san Diego county started pulling together who the owners were and it was usually corporate owned buildings; they are looking at ways to stop this ( htips://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/california-lawmaker-proposes-25-tax-on-real- estaie-investors-to-level-playing-field/2890895/ ) This is not what we need for housing' The housing you have approved, that will be severely impacting Amherst st. for example, are not affordabie. Lower density tS ALWAYS the better solution. lt is likely that many of higher density developments will be owned by corporations' Do you know that many of the homes on HartshornRanchPlaceandoakLeafLanearenowownedasrentalunitsbymultiple corporations? [2 LLCs and 2 Corporations].

Agenda Report

CITY OF LA VERNE
Police Department

DATE: November 7, 2022

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council

FROM: Colleen Flores, Chief of Police
By: Chris Dransfeldt, Administrative Lieutenant

SUBJECT: Request for Additional Police Clerk Position
_____________________________________________________________________________

AGENDA SUMMARY

The La Verne Police Department is budgeted for five Police Clerks. Over the past year, the Records Division has been understaffed, and as a result, Police Clerks have been tasked with working overtime to complete required staff work to meet current deadlines.

The current workload of the Records Division requires an additional clerk to reduce the need for overtime to meet deadlines. The Department requests an additional Police Clerk position to increase staffing from five to six Police Clerks.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends City Council authorizes an additional Police Clerk position to enhance staffing levels and reduce overtime. The cost to fund this additional position with current pay and benefits is $70,700.

BACKGROUND:

The La Verne Police Department is budgeted for five full-time Police Clerks and one full- time Records Supervisor. Out of this compliment, one of the clerks is assigned to the Detective Bureau and handles the workload associated with preparing reports for filing with the District Attorney’s Office.

During the past three years, the workload of each Police Clerk has significantly increased. This significant increase result s from mandatory reporting requirements related to changes in the law which have proven to be substantial . Some additional tasks assigned to Police Clerks include entering, removing, and verifying missing persons, stolen vehicles, impounded vehicles, and warrant verifications, all of which require two Police Clerks to enter and validate the entr ies. Additionally, Police Clerks are tasked with processing subpoenas, conducting report and body camera redactions, performing mandatory audits, and conducting booking entries in addition to their regular duties.
64 November 7, 2022, City Council Meeting

Staffing is our priority, and the current staffing level puts an added burden on our existing clerks, who have been tasked with working overtime to meet current deadlines.

This burden also decreases the quality of services to our community. Retired Senior Volunteers are volunteering approximately twenty -eight hours a week to lessen the burden on our Police Clerks, but we cannot rely on their assistance.

FISCAL IMPACT

The additional Police Clerk position is not funded in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 Adopted Budget. If approved, appropriations of $70,700 from the General Fund will be added to the budget.

CITY OF LA VERNE
Police Department

DATE: November 7, 2022

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council

FROM: Colleen Flores, Chief of Police

SUBJECT: Armored Vehicle Replacement
_____________________________________________________________________________

AGENDA SUMMARY

On May 16, 2022, the City Council authorized the purchase of a 2008 refurbished armored incident vehicle from Lenco for $212,650. The armored incident vehicle will replace the Department's 1982 Dodge Armored Peacekeeper, which had reached its end of life and is beyond repair. The Department was informed that Lenco had suffered a few supply setbacks, pushing back the delivery date further extending our safety concerns. As a result of their lapse, Lenco has offered to sell the department a new armored vehicle at a significantly reduced price. A new incident armored vehicle from Lenco is $415,000, and they are willing to sell it at a reduced price of $330,000.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approves a budget amendment increasing appropriations for the purchase of a new BearCat G3 Armored Incident Response Vehicle from Lenco in the amount of $135,000 supported by the funding resources noted within this report.

BACKGROUND:

The Police Department's current armored incident response vehicle is a 1982 Dodge Peacekeeper obtained from the Glendora Police Department in 2007. The vehicle was initially produced for military use but modified to meet the needs of municipal law enforcement agencies. Since its acquisition, our officers have used the vehicle during high-risk search warrant services and other calls where gunfire or significant risk to officers or the public have occurred. The vehicle has experienced considerable transmission, engine, and drivetrain issues within the past year and is currently inoperable.

Beyond the vehicle's age and mechanical state is the vehicle's overall capability. Recent incidents in Fresno, Gilroy, San Bernardino, Stockton, and throughout the United States have proven the need for law enforcement agencies to be better equipped and prepared to respond to active shooter and other mass casualty incidents rapidly. Mass casualty 66 November 7, 2022, City Council Meeting

incidents that require an abnormal police response are not limited to large metropolitan areas. Therefore, all agencies must train and adequately equip personnel to respond to such acts. Our antiquated Armored Incident Response Vehicle is not designed or equipped to provide adequate protection for personnel responding to the violent actions of modern armed criminals. Our current Armored Incident Response Vehicle is forty years old and is grossly inferior to current industry-standard vehicles.

The Police Department has researched armored vehicles and determined that the Lenco Ballistic Engineered Armored Response Counter Attack Truck (B.E.A.R.C.A.T) G3 is suitable for replacing the 1982 Peacekeeper. The BearCat is a standard law enforcement industry vehicle used by agencies throughout the United States, specifically by agencies in the San Gabriel Valley. The ballistic capability of the Bearcat far exceeds the Peacekeeper, and its advanced capabilities provide for enhanced officer safety and rescue capabilities. The vehicle sits on a Ford F550 chassis similar to the Department's traffic truck serviced by a local Ford dealership. Our city mechanics are familiar with the Ford product and can service the Bearcat.

Lenco Armored Vehicles, based in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, is the Sole Source Manufacturer for the BearCat or the equivalent. The Lenco BearCat is an armored personnel carrier constructed on a commercially available Ford F-550 Chassis with modifications by Lenco, providing a seating capacity for ten passengers.

Assembly Bill 481, passed into law on January 1, 2022, requires the police department to obtain approval from the City Council to purchase equipment defined as Military Equipment per Government Code 7071. Armored vehicles such as the Lenco BearCat are included under the law as it is categorized as military equipment defined under Government Code 7070(c) (2).

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of a new 2022 Lenco BearCat is $415,000. However, Lenco had a preowned 2008 Bearcat they had agreed to sell to the City of La Verne for $195,000, which included shipping from Massachusetts to California. This BearCat was approved by City Council on May 16, 2022. Since then, Lenco has suffered supply setbacks and is unable to deliver on this used BearCat. The department was able to negotiate a new 2022/23 BearCat at a cost of $330,000 which they guarantee delivery by January/February 2023.

City Council previously authorized the use of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to purchase of the used BearCat at $195,000. The Department is requesting additional appropriations in the amount of $135,000 from the City’s Asset Forfeiture account to secure the purchase of a new Lenco BearCat G3 armored vehicle. Both funds have sufficient balances to appropriate.
67 November 7, 2022, City Council Meeting

The Department has determined that the Lenco BearCat is best suited to meet the demanding needs of the aforementioned incidents; all references were checked. The Monrovia Police Department owns a Lenco BearCat, and they have reported a positive experience with the product and vendor. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council provide the City Manager the authority to purchase the 2022 Lenco Bearcat Armored Incident Response Vehicle from Lenco Armored Vehicles.

The order was placed for (4) 2022 model year interceptors in May of 2022. Due to supplier production shortages, and supply chain issues we were notified on October 24 th, 2022, that our order had been canceled for the 2022 models. Our order was rolled over to the next year in production pending approval of the effective price change. 2023 models increased by 12% from $49,461.50 to $56,362.24. We also experienced price increases purchasing the outfitting compliment for all the units as well, the price increases range from 5 percent to 20 percent.

The balance of the units have been issued purchase orders with the unknown delivery date of sometime in 2023 with the possibility of orders not being fulfilled. While we have sufficient budget to cover the purchase of the units, the current budget would not cover the costs to outfit all units with the necessary equipment to make it functional for police services.

These 12 new pieces of equipment will benefit the community’s needs by providing reliable service when responding to the community’s needs.

Fiscal Impact

Appropriations of $718,700 from the equipment fund for 12 police replacement vehicles are included between the FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23 adopted budgets.

If approved, appropriations of $82,000.00 from the General Fund will be transferred to the equipment replacement fund to cover the cost increase and will be added to the FY 2022-23 budget.

The FY 2022-23 budget anticipated a surplus of $98,000 in the General Fund so barring any major changes to the forecasts and or additional necessary appropriations these funds could be appropriated for this one-time purpose.

Bid Process

The City of La Verne is a member of Sourcewell. Membership entitles the City to access competitively bid national contracts. Sourcewell contracts leverage national volume pricing and provide members with a streamlined contracting process. Sourcewell has an existing contract National Auto Fleet Group that specializes in fleet sales only. The pricing included in the contract is based on Sourcewell contract equipment pricing.

Utilizing the Sourcewell contract enables the City to save off the list price for the equipment and delivery. Local Bids were originally sent out to five different local Ford Dealers with not one returning a bid. They all cited VIN allocations being cancelled and the inability to fulfill orders.

The Chevrolet Tahoe is from Mountain View Chevrolet which was the only dealership in the area that would sell us a vehicle at the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) The Altima is from Metro Nissan which also was the only dealership in the area that would sell us a vehicle at MSRP.

CITY OF LA VERNE
Public Works Department

DATE: November 7, 2022

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council

FROM: Anthony Ciotti, Interim Public Works Director

SUBJECT: Purchase of Sewer Camera Van and Vactor Truck

AGENDA SUMMARY

The Public Works Department is recommending the replacement of a 1993 LS 8000 Vactor Truck and the 2002 E450 Sewer Camera Van. The expected lead-time for both units is currently at 12 to 13 months. This timeframe will ensure that we can replace the 2002 E450 Sewer Camera Van a year later than its end of life of 20 years. The 1993 Vactor truck is 10 years overdue for replacement; the unit had to be surplused due to emission regulations and the age of unit.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that City Council:

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a purchase order with Haaker Equipment Company in the amount of $413,996.71 for the purchase of a new short wheelbase Vactor truck and $220,748.94 for the purchase of a new Sewer Camera Van.

2. Authorize staff to tag onto a competitively bid national contract from Sourcewell for both Vactor truck (Contract # 122017-FSC) and Camera Van (Contract # 120721-EVS).

3. Authorize additional appropriations to the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget from the Sewer Capital Improvement Fund in the amount of $308,907.

BACKGROUND

The Fleet Maintenance Division of the Public Works Department is responsible for the purchase and maintenance of all vehicles and equipment used by the City’s various departments.

The Vactor Truck needs to be replaced and the truck has been surplused because of emission regulations, obsolete parts and reliability issues with the engine and accessories. The Sewer Camera Van was updated internally with new sewer cameras and accessories approximately 10 years ago, but the technology and chassis are outdated.

These two new pieces of equipment will benefit the community’s needs by providing reliable service when completing routine maintenance and responding to any emergencies within the City. In addition the City will be reducing the carbon footprint and meeting emission regulations by replacing the existing non-EPA compliant diesel engine with the latest clean air technology.

Fiscal Impact

The total amount requested for the project is $634,745.65. The amount to procure the Vactor Truck is $413,996.71 and $220,748.94 for the Sewer Camera van.

The 2022-23 budget appropriated funds in the amount of $325,839 in the Equipment Fund for the Vactor Truck and Sewer Camera Van. If approved, additional appropriations of $308,907 in the Sewer Capital Improvement Fund will be needed to cover the cost increase and will be added to the FY 2022-23 budget.

Bid Process

The City of La Verne is a member of Sourcewell. Membership entitles the City to access competitively bid national contracts. Sourcewell contracts leverage national volume pricing and provide members with a streamlined contracting process. Sourcewell has an existing contract with Vactor and Envirosight’s brands which Haaker is a Distributor/Builder for them. The pricing included in the contract is based on Sourcewell contract equipment pricing. Utilizing the Sourcewell contract enables the City to save off the list price for the equipment and delivery.

Haaker equipment company is a reputable builder, has a proven track record and has impeccable customer service.

CITY OF LA VERNE
Community Services Department

DATE: November 7, 2022

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: Yvonne Duran, Community Services Manager

SUBJECT: Aquatic Center Pool Heater(s) Emergency Replacement ______________________________________________________________________

AGENDA

Staff, along with the University of La Verne (ULV) and Bonita Unified School District (BUSD) have determined the two La Verne Aquatic Center pool heaters are unrepairable. The two units are over 15 years old; one unit is not functioning and the other is work ing at half capacity.

Community Services staff and the Public Works Department have reviewed the issue and conclude the units need to be replaced immediately. If the units are not replaced, st aff will have to suspend pool operations due to temperature requirements for swim meets and practices. (Council Member Lau will declare a Conflict of Interest on this item because she is a Board of Trustee Member of the University of La Verne.)

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Determine that the current emergency requires immediate repair to maintain the pool use programming for the community and that there is insufficient time to conduct a formal bidding process; and

2. Approve by a four-fifths vote the emergency purchase and installation of two new high efficiency pool heaters at the Aquatic Center by Lincoln Aquatics in the total amount of $233,744 to be funded from the Park Development Fund.

BACKGROUND

In May of 2022, the City’s maintenance contractor for the aquatic center, Caliber Commercial Pool Service, reported to City staff one of the two heaters was no longer functioning. To repair the unit, the cost would be similar to purchasing a new one. The second heater was functioni ng at the time, but staff was advised the same issues may develop in the future. Due to the age of the units, repairing them has no guarantee of their future.

On May 23, City staff held a meeting with ULV and BUSD representatives to discuss options to replace the heaters. Option one was to replace the two heaters with similar heaters. Option two was to replace the two heaters with high effi ciency heaters. While the high efficiency heater is costly compared to a standard heater , a high efficiency heater has a longer life span (8 to 15 years) and have a cost savings on gas ($5000-$6000 per year). 76 November 7, 2022, City Council Meeting
Staff Agenda Report re Purchase of Aquatic Center Pool Heaters November 7, 2022

Page 2 ends

During the meeting, ULV and BUSD agreed to speak with their respective representatives for approval to purchase high efficiency heaters . Bonita High School notified City staff their desire to move forward with the purchase. ULV had a delay as they were in the process of hiring a new Athletic Director. Shortly after , staff held a meeting with their Athletic Director and ULV committed to moving forward with high effic iency heater replacements. In late August , Caliber reported to staff the second unit was now functioning at half capacity to heat the pool. With this new information, staff determined that the replacement of the two heaters could not be postpone, which left insufficient time to complete a formal bid process. Under California Public Contract Code, public projects over $200,000 require a formal bidding process. A competitive solicitation for bids will cause a delay and the action is necessary to respond to this emergency.

Due to this second heater functioning at half capacity and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) requirements for water temperature, the City has determined the procurement qualifies under section 22050 of the California Public Contract Code. The water temperature should be between 79 and 81 degrees Fahrenheit [26° and 27°C] for competition.

Water temperature for practice needs to be consistent with competition temperature for optimal training and overall body regulation.

The City has been actively working with local vendors to receive multiple bids for the project.

There were several delays with the vendors in securing information from manufactures for the high efficiency heaters , but City staff was able to receive two bids for the project from Lincoln Aquatics ($233,744) and Knorr Systems Int’l ($323,738).

It is urgent to replace the heaters as soon as possible as we are coming upon winter months where pool heaters function at a higher capacity due to cold weather and the City, ULV, and BUSD will be required to suspend programming at the facility from the drop in water temperature.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Adopted Budget includes appropriations from the Park Development Fund for $300,000 and no additional appropriations are needed. The City, ULV, and BUSD have an agreement for joint use, maintenance and operation of the facility and share the costs of such. The entire project is estimated to cost $ 233,744 and the City will be reimbursed 2/3 of the cost, $155,829.

PROJECT TIMELINE

Following the award of the contract, Lincoln Aquatics will order the requested equipment. The equipment is expected to take 5-8 weeks to arrive, and the installation of the equipment is expected to be completed the beginning of January 2023, if not sooner.

SUBJECT: Adding and Amending the La Verne Municipal Code Pertaining to Personal Conduct and Property Maintenance - Ordinance No. 1112 _____________________________________________________________________________

AGENDA SUMMARY

During the August 1, 2022 City Council meeting, the Department sought appropriations to utilize funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to address the homeless population within the community. The Department also recommended additional measures to assist the Department's Homeless Outreach Support Team (HOST) in maintaining the quality of life by adding and amending existing ordinances.

RECOMMENDATION:

The City Council should introduce and waive further reading of Ordinance No. 1112 , an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of La Verne, County of Los Angeles, State of California amending the Municipal Code regarding personal conduct and property maintenance.

BACKGROUND:

The Department’s homeless-related call volume continues to rise well over 200 calls per month and consumes approximately 10% of the daily calls for service. Many of the calls deal with complex issues relating to the homeless population within the community. The unique approach to each call requires a varying approach which may include enforcement.

The Department reviewed the City’s ordinances that lends to improving the quality of life for all who reside, work, or commute through the City of La Verne. The Department has met with the City's legal counsel to analyze existing ordinances and how to amend or implement new ordinances to best incorporate enforcement actions.

The proposed amendments seek to address persons obstructing right of way or place as described in Chapter 12 by adding Section 12.04.015 and with the amendment of Section 12.32.020 subclause C which prohibits persons to "to camp, erect, maintain, or 82 November 7, 2022, City Council Meeting
Ordinance No. 1112 – Re: Personal Conduct & Property Maintenance November 7, 2022

occupy any tent, lodge, structure, a temporary or makeshift shelter, or unattended installation or display in any park except in places designated for such purposes ”; amending Section 12.32.050 to prohibit “[a]ny person who loiters or remains in any public park at any time between ten p.m. and seven a.m. of the following morning, without possessing a valid city permit, is guilty of a misdemeanor.”

The Department also seeks to add Chapter 9.19 to the La Verne Municipal Code to address loitering after hours at public buildings by adding Section 9.19.010. The Department proposes to amend Section 9.40.030 (Classification of Nuisances) in Chapter 9.40 by adding subsection 9.40.030 L, which addresses the "unauthorized use, accumulation, and storage of abandoned shopping or laundry carts in any area of land within the City constitutes a public nuisance as it is injurious to public health, safety and welfare by degrading the appearance of the community .” Finally, the Department seeks to add Chapter 9.25 including Section 9.25.010 (Personal Conduct) addressing public urination and defecation as described in subsections (A), (B), and (C).
