Mayor Hepburn reported on the Recognition and Presentation of “Pride of La Award” Recipients. He stated that annually, the City Council presents the "Jack Huntington Award” and the “Jim Scranton Award” to recognize volunteers who have made outstanding contributions and performed exemplary service to the City and the community. Each recipient receives an individual Pride of La Verne plaque and their names are placed on perpetual plaques displayed in City Hall.
The “Jack Huntington Award” The “Jack Huntington Award” was named after S. Jack Huntington who moved to La Verne in 1970. Despite heavy professional obligations and time commitments to the U.S. Naval Reserve, Jack became actively involved in the community as a volunteer. He was active in various local organizations including the La Verne Jaycees, Little League, and the Youth Basketball program. Jack also served as a City of La Verne Commissioner for more than 15 years, completing two terms on the Parks & Recreation Commission as well as two terms on the Planning Commission. Jack Huntington was a citizen volunteer who exemplified the “Pride of La Verne” through selfless service to the community.
Mayor Hepburn announced that this year the “Jack Huntington Pride of La Verne Award” is being presented to Linda Logan. She is a long-time resident and is the Vice President of The McIntyre Company in Covina, a Commercial Real Estate Development and Management firm. She was involved in La Verne Little League as a team mom and a founding member of the La Verne Little League Auxiliary and helped to raise funds for the Junior Division Little League families to travel to Taylor Michigan for the World Series.
Linda started K9 Partners of Covina, is a member of the Covina Rotary Club, was Rotary District 5300 Youth Exchange Officer for 4 years, Founder and Chairman of Field of Valor and most recently, in 2019, Linda started La Verne K-9 & Police Foundation. The Foundation has raised $160,000.00 to date.
They funded the purchase of K-9 Dino, equipped an existing police car with the special items needed to transport and help the K-9s work effectively, purchased special equipment, leashes, food, and training, and paid for medical expenses. Most recently the Foundation funded the purchase of K-9 Tupelo, a Bloodhound, her special leashes, harnesses, a GPS collar, and other special equipment for her handler, Officer Weinreb. Linda credits the community as having been wonderful partners. Katie’s Pet Depot, a Foundation partner, has donated toys, food, and other items for K-9 Tupelo. The Foundation continues to support K-9 Tupelo with food and necessary items not donated.
Mayor Hepburn on behalf of the City Council, presented a Pride of La Verne Plaque to Linda Logan.
The “Jim Scranton Award” The “Jim Scranton Award” was named after long-time resident Jim Scranton who was a member of the Youth Sports Committee since its inception. In 1986, he formed the La Verne Lazers Soccer Club organization which provides youngsters an opportunity to play soccer at a highly competitive level. Jim also spent five years on the City Sports Park Committee, which resulted in the development of 35 acres of sports fields for the community. He also participated in the City women’s soccer program as a coach. Jim is survived by his wife Susan and their children. The Youth Sports Committee recommended that a Pride of La Verne Youth Sports Volunteer Award be named in honor of Jim Scranton.
Monday, April 3, 2023 Council Meeting
8 Mayor Hepburn announced that this year the “Jim Scranton Pride of La Verne Award” is being presented to Eric Shadrick. Eric’s passion for volunteering started at his daughter’s La Verne Heights elementary school, where he helped at school events such as Sports Nights, Carnivals, Garden Club, fundraisers, and his wife, Lynda’s, Girl Scout Troops. He volunteered at Ramona Middle School & Bonita High School in several capacities and could regularly be seen flipping burgers on Friday Night Lights. He passed his lifelong love for soccer along to both daughters and his youth soccer career began as an Assistant AYSO Coach for one of their teams in 2006. He soon after became a Head Coach with 2 teams. He has held multiple positions within AYSO, such as Assistant Regional Commissioner, Divisional Coordinator, Referee, Coach, Trainer, Spring Select Coach, All-Star Coach, as well as Director of the Great Western Shootout. Eric began coaching at the club level 8 years later with the La Verne Lazers Soccer Club, where he joined the Board, created two teams for the Club and was voted President a year later. There, he served with an all-volunteer Board and helped strengthen the Club from 3 to 11 teams and was the Club Liaison to the City’s Youth Sports Committee for all 7 years. Since moving on from the Lazers, he looks forward to continuing to serve on the Youth Sports Committee as a Member at Large and is most recently a proud new founding member of Cal Poly Pomona’s Parent Ambassador Program, which helps support Cal Poly students & families as they transition to college life.

Agenda Report
DATE: April 3, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Ken Domer, City Manager
SUBJECT: BRETHREN PARKING LOT LICENSE AGREEMENT
SUMMARY
The Church of the Brethren and the City of La Verne have agreed to enter into a parking lot license agreement for fifteen years for the use of public parking at the Church’s property at 2425 E Street. In exchange for the parking use, the City will trim the parking lot trees, repave/maintain the lot, and make other minor improvements.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a license agreement with Church of the Brethren for use of a parking lot located at 2425 E. Street, for a fifteen (15) year term in exchange for listed improvements.
DISCUSSION
The Church of the Brethren and the City of La Verne initially entered a Parking Easement Agreement in 1998 to allow public parking during specific hours and days to accommodate access to downtown businesses and amenities. In exchange, the City made improvements to the parking lot area. In 2007, the Church and the City extended the hours of parking and it was agreed upon by the Church as well as the City that trimming of the parking lot trees every three years would be fair to exchange for the extended hours.
Based on negotiations between the Church of the Brethren and the City, the new license agreement will include 18 additional parking spaces adjacent to the current 32 parking spaces and extend the current parking hours on Monday through Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. , Friday and Saturday’s from 10:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. , and Sunday from 4:0 0 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. For inclusion of the additional parking spaces and the extension of the parking hours the C ity will maintain parking lot pavement and improvements for the duration of the agreement with a slurry seal application 7 years after the parking lot has been repaved.
As with the previous agreement, if the Church requires use of the parking lot area for an event, a request shall be submitted in writing to the City at least (30) days prior to the date of the event and shall include dates and times of the use. Signs shall be posted indicating Monday, April 3, 2023 Council Meeting
25 the specific closure of the parking lot at least 72 hours in advance. As referenced in the agreement, the City is required, at the City’s expense, to repair any extraordinary damage to the designated parking area. In the summer of 2023, the parking lot will be repaved, and the City will install/repair damaged curb, install/repai r wheel stops, and make irrigation improvements to the tree wells, in addition to updating signage. The cost of the improvements during the agreement is estimated to be $95,000. Accordingly, the value of the 50 stalls is $6,333 per year or $127 per stall per year.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The estimated cost for repairs and pavement of the parking lot is included in the Fiscal Year 2022- 23 Adopted Budget within the General Fund through the Public Works Operational Budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301 – Existing Facilities, and City of La Verne environmental guidelines.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the use of a License Agreement. While the previous agreement was a recorded parking easement that ran with the land, the new agreement is a license to the City to use the facility during specified hours for public parking uses and contains the same insurance and indemnification clauses as prior, without the requirement to record the document.

Agenda Report
DATE: April 3, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Eric Scherer, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: 2022 Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR)
SUMMARY
The City is required to prepare an Annual Progress Report on the status and progress in implementing the Housing Element of the General Plan. This report is required to be presented to the City Council as an informational item to update the City Council on the previous year’s Housing Element status.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council receive and file the Annual Progress Report for 2022.
DISCUSSION
California’s Housing Element law acknowledges both the need for the private market to adequately address the housing needs and demands of Californians, and for local governments to adopt plans and regulatory systems which provide opportunities for housing development. To this end, state law requires local governments to adopt a Housing Element and routinely monitor the implementation progress of their Housing Element. California Government Code Section 65400 requires each jurisdiction to prepare an Annual Progress Report (APR) for the Hous ing Element. Jurisdictions must submit an APR reporting the previous year’s Housing Element status and implementation progress to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on or before April 1
st of each year , with a thirty -day grace period being allowed for submittal. In conformance with this requirement, staff has prepared an APR for 2022 reflecting the housing inventory approved, permitted, or finalized during the 2022 calendar year (Attachment A) and has submitted it to the State prior to April 1st. It should be noted that the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element was deemed certified by HCD on December 21, 2022.

Agenda Report
DATE: April 3, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Yvonne Duran, Community Services Director
SUBJECT: Purchase of Shade Structures - La Verne Aquatic Center
SUMMARY
This item seeks City Council authorization and award of contract to Miracle Recreation Equipment Company to install permanent shade structures at the Aquatic Center in the amount of $143,400 with funding from the Proposition 68 Per Capita Grant Program.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Award the contract to Miracle Recreation Equipment Co. in the amount of $143,400 for the purchase and installation of permanent shade structures at the La Verne Aquatic Center; and
2. Appropriate $143,400 from the Miscellaneous Grants Fund for the purchase and installation of the shade structures.
DISCUSSION
The City of La Verne applied for Per Capita Program grant funds though the California Drought, Water, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection, and Outdoor Access for All Act of 2018. This program originates from Proposition 68 and funds are administered by the California Department of Parks and Recreation Office of Grants and Local Services.
The proposed project from this grant was $194,500 to be used to enhance the La Verne Aquatic Center. This included replacing existing shade covers with permanent shade structures, replacing the existing in-pool lights with new LED lighting, adding three new lifeguard towers, and replacing two lane line reels. After the approval and purchase of the shade structures, there will be a balance of $51,100 to purchase the remaining items and pay for the LED lighting as part of the larger resurfacing project.
The City is a member of 1GPA , a national non- profit governmental purchasing cooperative which allows public entities to take advantage of existing contracts to purchase the goods and services they need from local and national vendors. 1GPA Contracts are approved and awarded by 1GPA’s lead governmental entities and are available for use and benefit of all entities complying with their own state procurement laws and regulations. Section F.1 of the City’s purchasing policies allows for contracts and purchases through government cooperative contracts such as 1GPA and is supported under California Public Contract Code Section 10298.
Monday, April 3, 2023 Council Meeting
71 Staff anticipates installation and completion of the shade structures by September of 2023. Following the award of the contract, Miracle Recreation Equipment C o. will order the requested equipment.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
If approved, appropriations of $143,400 will need to be added to the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget in the Miscellaneous Grants Fund for the purchase and install ation of shade structures at Las Flores Park. Funding for the project is supported by the Proposition 68 Per Capita Grant Program; there will be no fiscal impact on the City’s General Fund

80 WHAT IS THE TURN-N-SLIDE™?
Our patented Turn-N-Slide™ Easy Fastening System is an
ingenious mechanism which comes standard on all frame-
supported Shade Systems products and makes removal and
re-attachment of the canopy quick and easy for most anyone on your staff. And it’s covered by a 10 year warranty.
WHY DO WE NEED SUCH A MECHANISM
ON OUR SHADE?
If you are located in colder climates, you will want to remove your canopy and store it for the winter season. This prolongs the canopy’s life by not subjecting it to snow loads and winter storms. Likewise, if you are located in an area subject to hurricanes or tornadoes, the Turn-N-Slide allows quick removal of the canopy as soon as you receive a storm warning.
WHAT DOES THE COMPETITION OFFER?
Good question. The competition’s canopies are mostly
designed to be permanent, and require special tools
and oftentimes the services of professional installers for removal and especially re-installation. Ask the competition to describe the specific steps required to remove and then re-attach their canopy, and judge for yourself if the same thought has gone into their product as the Turn-N-Slide.
WHERE CAN WE LEARN MORE
ABOUT THE TURN-N-SLIDE?
Visit our website at www.shadesystemsinc.com to see a
6-minute online demonstration video of how easy it is to remove and then re-attach your Shade Systems canopy.
STEP 1:
Use our special vandal-resistant
tool to remove access cap
STEP 2:
Turn concealed nut using a standard
socket wrench. Attachment hook moves
backward, releasing the canopy cables.
Reverse the steps to re-attach
it’s that easy!

COATING PROCESS IN THE INDUSTRY
FOR CORROSION-RESISTANCE
1. Sandblasting. Metal parts are sandblasted to completely remove any surface oils and rust.
2. Mechanical smoothing. Any remaining foreign matter is mechanically removed from surfaces by sanding, grinding, and rounding rough edges to smoothness.
3. Initial Surface Preparation. A heavy-duty liquid cleaner is applied for initial surface preparation.
4. Corrosion resistant Coating. Liquid detergent iron phosphate is applied, resulting in a superior quality corrosion resistant sub- coating.
5. Final Surface Preparation. All metal parts are then sealed using a reactive, non-chrome sealer for enhanced corrosion protection and increased paint adhesion.
6. Coastal Primer. Prior to powder-coating, a rust inhibiting coastal primer is applied for maximum corrosion resistance in the most demanding outdoor environments.
7. Application of Powder-Coating. Lastly, PPG Envirocron ™ Ultradurable powder coatings are applied for a durable and uniform final color finish.

92 March 2023 Annual Military Equipment Report 2023
On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved Assembly Bill 481 (codified as Chapter 12.8 of the California Government Code) requiring law enforcement agencies such as the La Verne Police Department to have a military use policy approved by the City Council prior to requesting, seeking funding, acquiring or using military equipment.
Assembly Bill 481 allows the governing body to approve the policy within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards.
On April 25, 2022, the City of La Verne City Council approved Ordinance No. 1110 approving La Verne Police Department Policy #709: Military Equipment Funding, Acquisition, and Use. As required by Assembly Bill 481 and the Ordinance, annually the La Verne Police Department must prepare a report on the use of each type of military equipment approved in the Policy over the last year. Subsequently, the City Council must then review the Ordinance, Policy, and Annual Report, and determine whether the Department’s use of military equipment in the past year complied with the Policy, and whether to continue the Ordinance and Policy, take action (by ordinance) to modify the Policy or repeal the Ordinance.
As set forth in the Policy, the La Verne Police Department retains and employs limited military equipment to safeguard its community. La Verne officers, certified instructional staff, and specialized units receive training throughout the year on the use of military equipment approved under the Policy.
This Annual Report outlines the La Verne Police Department’s military equipment inventory and usage, community complaints over the use of military equipment, and internal audits from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022. The Department will submit its Military Equipment Annual Report to City Council after December 31st of every year in compliance with AB 481.

N
At the February 21, 2023, City Council Meeting, staff reported that as of August 1, 2022, the Los A ngeles C ounty S heriff’s D epartment ( LASD) st opped processing n ew applications from those applicants who do not r eside within a j urisdiction contracted by the LASD. Instead, the LASD has referred all new CCW applicants to the police agency where the applicant resides to process CCW permits per California Penal Code 26155(b), which requires t hat t he local Chief of P olice accept a nd process C CW permits f rom residents. At t he meeting, t he City C ouncil ado pted permit f ees b ased on the recommended Police Department process of issuing CCW permits.
In order to be as transparent as possible about the overall costs to CCW permit applicants, the Agenda Report listed all fees required to successfully gain a CCW permit by an applicant, not just those charged directly by the City. Additionally, a matrix was provided of other cities (since updated) which have also implemented CCW permit programs showing their total costs to the applicant. While not the highest overall permit cost, the total fees to a La Verne resident seeking a CCW permit totaled $1,081 of which only $190 were fees directly charged by the City of La Verne. A significant share of the cost results from an external firm, MyCCW.us, conducting the application and background process prior to issuing a final application report to the Chief of Police. The fee charged by MyCCW.us of $398 is less than if the City were to conduct the same services internally using Police Department employees. Additionally, the Police Department recommended the requirement for applicants to take a psychological examination as part of the permit Monday, April 3, 2023 Council Meeting
114
process. The psychological examination, paid to a third party, will cost the applicant $150, as currently capped by State law. The examination also requires an additional payment by the City to the third party up to $150 per applicant as the overall cost of a psychological examination is approximately $300.
As approved by t
he City Council on February 21, 2023, the City fees for a CCW permit currently are:
City Charged Fee Item Cost
CCW Administrative Fee $ 150.00 Covers processing time for Records Clerk and Records Supervisor, and Chief of Police
interview of applicant.
CCW Roll Fee $ 20.00 Standard charge for fingerprinting CCW Permit Card $ 20.00 Cost of issuance for permit card $ 190.00 Total City Charged Fees
The other fees a C

rements

At the Marc
h 6, 2023, City Council meeting, the City Council heard from many residents regarding the overall fees for obtaining a CCW Permit. Additionally, the City received a letter from an attorney representing the California Pistol and Rifle Association which threatened potential litigation over their allegations that the fees charged by the City were exorbitant and violated the Second Amendment. In review with the City Attorney’s Office, staff disagrees with the allegations and responded with a letter clarifying the City imposed fees and informed the attorney that City staff would bring the permit fee issue back to the City Council based on additional information, to include the public testimony.

Re-evaluation o
f Permit Fees
Police Department staff, the City Manager, and City Attorney have discussed, further reviewed the CCW Permit fees, and are recommending the following changes to the CCW Permit fee structure:
o Reduction of City
Administrative Fee from $150 to $100
o Elimination of the $20 CCW Permit Card fee
o Change requirement of psychological testing and payment of $150 o Firearms safety training vendors offering a reduced rate of $175 With the a
bove changes, the initial cost for a CCW Permit for an applicant will be reduced to $786, of which only $120 are City charged fees.
Reduction of City Administrative Fee
The Police Department further evaluated the time involved for internally processing a CCW Permit once the background investigation is finalized by the outside vendor. In keeping with City Council direction to reduce General Fund subsidization of private activities, the Administrative Fee is designed to cover the costs of the Records Clerk and Records Supervisor while preparing the application as well as the Chief of Police’s time in reviewing the file and conducting the final interview with the applicant. Based on standard cost allocation methods, the reduced administ rative cost is projected to be $136.53, but the fee is recommended to be set at $100.
Elimination of the $20 CCW Permit Card fee
If an applicant is successful in gaining a permit, they are issued a CCW Permit Card. The cost for completing and producing the card is estimated at $20. However, the public benefit of providing a clearly identifiable permit card to a CCW Permit holder is justification for eliminating the fee.
Psychological Examinations
The requirement of a psychological assessment is allowed per California Penal Code Section 26190(f). The initial recommendation was to require this in order to provide the best information to the Police Chief , who will ultimately issue a CCW Permit, to en sure that the issuance is in the best interest of the public. Upon further evaluation, information received from the Department of Justice electronic background check and MyCCW.us background investigation provides a means to either deny an applicant or, per Section 26190 (f), provide reason to require an exam. Accordingly, the need for a psychological assessment for applicants will remain discretionary as part of the permit process.
Firearms Training
Currently there are 36 approved firearms trainers providing the required firearms training per California Penal Code Section 26165. The cost provided previously was an estimate of the highest fee charged by the third- party vendor in the interest of providing the most transparent potential cost of such training. Since that time, it has been determined that sufficient training can be obtained for $175 and therefore that amount will be used in the Monday, April 3, 2023 Council Meeting
116
overall estimate. It is the applicant’s choice as to which of the 36 firearms training firms they use, therefore, the overall cost is at their discretion.
Carry Conce
aled Weapon License Amendment/Modification/Replacement Fee Fees are set forth per Penal Code Section 26190, subsection (e)(1). Amendments allow a CCW holder to request a change in their name, add or delete an approved firearm, or request a replacement license with supporting documentation. It is recommended that this fee be set at $10 per application to cover the administrative cost of making such amendments/modifications/replacement.
Renewals
Renewal
s fees are set forth per Penal Code Section 26190, subsection (c) and are limited to $25 per renewal application. The original item contained a transposition of characters and set the amount at $52. This item will correct that fee. Total City fees for renewals are $25.
Applicants
seeking a renewal are still required to pay $52 to the Department of Justice and have additional firearms training. Additionally, it was proposed that renewals, which are required every two years, be processed through MyCCW.us at a cost of $348. The Police Department will re-evaluate the renewal process and use of MyCCW.us over the next year, well in advance of any renewal applications, in order to determine a fair and reasonable process . Depending on the firearms training costs, total renewal to an applicant range from approximately $550 to $600 at this time.

ISCAL ANALYSIS
If approved as recommended, the cost recove ry to the City for issuing CCW Permits will be $120 per completed application. The permit fees for City administrative services does not fully recover all costs, depending on how f ar an appl icant proceeds in the process, but the ultimate General Fund subsidy, based on a p otential for 200 initial applicants, is not expected to exceed $15,000 . Current year costs can be absorbed within the Police Department budget with future year administrative costs properly budget ed for both initial and renewal applications.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable for this item.
