In 2011, LA IMPACT became a JPA and they were allowed to apply for the HIDTA grant on their own. There are 44 member agencies in the JPA. LA Impact provides resources such as Lab Response, Air Support, and addressing crimes like the smash and grab robberies. Their core values are service to communities by enhancing public safety through teamwork and collaboration, enhancing resources by supporting member agencies and law enforcement with the primary goal to target criminal enterprises.

PMENT IMPACT FEE REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE

____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY

SUBJECT: DISPATCH SERVICES MOU WITH CITY OF MONROVIA

SUMMARY
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the City of Monrovia for sharing of dispatch personnel is proposed to assist with current dispatch staffing understaffing. The term of the agreement is through December 31, 2023, and upon mutual agreement it may be extended for two additional one-year terms.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve R esolution N o. 23 -75, entitled, “ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, COUNTY OF

LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING A MEMORANDUM OF

UNDERSTANDING (MOU) BETWEEN THE CITY OF LA VERNE AND THE CITY OF

MONROVIA TO FACILITATE THE SHARING OF DISPATCH PERSONNEL FOR DISPATCH STAFFING,” and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.

DISCUSSION
Both La Verne and Monrovia acknowledge the critical importance of providing uninterrupted, 24- hour dispatch services to ensure public safety. The provision of continuous dispatch coverage is essential for rapid responses to emergencies, maintaining public trust, and the effective operation of law enforcement and emergency services.

The dispatc
h unit, a critical component of La Verne’s public safety efforts, is currently understaffed. La Verne is authorized for eight (8) dispatcher positions but only has four (4) staffed, one (1) of whom is on leave and another in training. This situation has raised concerns over the ability to maintain uninterrupted, 24-hour dispatch services.

Adequate staff
ing through shared dispatch personnel helps alleviate the stress and mental fatigue experienced by individual dispatchers. Reduced stress levels contribute to improved job satisfaction and overall well -being. Insufficient staffing can delay the dispatching of emergency services, risking lives and property.

Sharing dispat
ch personnel reduces the burden of mandatory coverage, minimizing the need for excessive overtime and its associated strain. This collaborative approach promotes a healthier work-life balance for dispatch personnel.

City Council Meeting, Monday, November 6, 2023
39 Both La Verne and Monrovia utilize the same Computer -Aided Dispatch (CAD) system, which allows Monrovia dispatchers to work seamlessly at La Verne. This compatibility allows for a smoother transition and operation, making this a feasible solution.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The agreement between the City of Monrovia and the City of La Verne for supplemental dispatch services includes compensation with a not -to-exceed amount of $25,000. No additional appropriations are required, as there are ample savings in communication officer salaries within the General Fund. If the agreement needs to be extended due to ongoing understaffing, the Police Department and Finance Department will revisit the contract terms and make any necessary revisions during the Mid- Year Budget Amendment process.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.

The City of La Verne’s General Municipal Election will be held on Tuesday, March 5, 2024. The election will be consolidated with the County of Los Angeles which will be conducting the Statewide Primary Election. The election was previously called at the October 16, 2023, meeting. Pursuant to California Government Code section 34871(c), the City Council may propose a ballot measure to elect its City Council by districts in four, six, or eight districts, with an elective mayor.

On July 6, 2021, the City Council unanimously adopted Resolution 21- 47, a Resolution of Intention to move to district -based elections. After several public hearings, the City Council conducted multiple votes on November 15, 2021, to include moving to five City Council Districts for by -district elections (motion passed 3- 2 with Hepburn and Crosby opposed), a 4-1 vote (Hepburn opposed) for a specific map, and on a 4-1 vote (Hepburn opposed), adopted Ordinance No. 1107 on December 6, 2021, which codified the current five districts by which members of the City Council are to be elected. As part of that Ordinance, La Verne Municipal Code section 2.08.030 – Organization meeting, was changed to provide that the City Council choose one of its own members as Mayor and one as Mayor Pro Tem. Prior to this change, the Mayor was directly elected for a two- year term. The directly elected Mayor was initiated by the voters in 1972, as set forth in Resolution 72 -21. While typically an action approved by the electorate requires subsequent amendment only by the electorate, this requirement was changed by Assembly Bill 849 (Chapter 557 of 2019). This bill was approved by the Governor to provide local agencies flexibility to respond to the increasing use of litigation to force by - district elections and thus the transition to a rotational mayor, while not approved at the time by the electorate, was compliant with State law.

Due to restrictions in State law , new district boundaries cannot be drawn until after the next decennial census in 2030, so any measure changing from five districts to four districts with a directly elected mayor cannot take effect until after the 2030 census data is released. New district boundaries for the four proposed districts would be established by ordinance using the 2030 census data and in compliance with the California Government Code and the California Elections Code. Accordingly, if approved by voters, the first time residents would vote directly for a mayor would be the 2032 election cycle.

In December of 2021, the City Council established five (5) City Council Districts for a by- district election system . In continuation of the transition to by -district elections, a t the City Council Meeting, Monday, November 6, 2023
64 March 5, 2024, election, voters in Districts 2 and 5 will vote for one (1) Council Member for a four-year term in their respective district pursuant to an election called by the City Council at its October 16, 2023, meeting. The first by-district election was held on June 7, 2022, with three (3) members of the City Council in Districts 1, 3, and 4 elected to a four-year term.

Pursuant to the provisions of the laws of the State of California relating to General Law cities, there are procedures, requirements and actions that must be taken by City Council for putting a measure on the ballot and addressing related items. The resolutions listed for consideration and adoption are required to add the measure to the ballot . One is for calling the election including the ballot measure, another requests Los Angeles County to consolidate the City’s election with the general statewide election and to render election services to the City of La Verne, the next provides for arguments in favor of and against the ballot measure and an impartial analysis, and the last resolution provides for rebuttal arguments.

Potential Legal Issues
Since the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) passage in 2002, at least 185 cities and nearly 400 other California jurisdictions have made the switch to by -district elections .

Many of these cities switched due to litigation threats filed by lawyers while others, such as La Verne, did so pre- emptively to avoid potentially high legal costs even under amended State laws. Cities going from by -district to at- large, or by -district to district elections with an at-large mayor, are rare. The potential for litigation largely depends on whether such change is “in furtherance of the purposes” of the CVRA. One such example is the City of Wildomar which, with voter approval, switched from by -district elections to an at-large system. Within months of the vote, the City was served with a CVRA claim and opted to return to the by-district election form to avoid legal defense costs.

The issue of by-district elections was a topic of discussion at a recent League of California Cities conference. At the May 17, 2023, City Attorneys Spring Conference, a session was held with several scenarios discussed. The answer to whether a city can return to an at-large district was: “Theoretically, a city could return to at-large districts, but it should proceed with great caution if it considers doing so.” This includes keeping by -district council seats and an at-large mayor.

If voters approve a proposed ordinance to change the number of council members or to provide for a directly elected mayor, the C ity must adopt new districts. (Gov. Code, § 34877.5.) As discussed previously, this ordinance and requirement to use a demographer to design districts which comply with the CVRA would occur after the year 2030 for effect at the 2032 election cycle. The City adopted districts after consulting with a demographer in 2021 and will have to again to demonstrate that reducing from five districts to four districts with an at -large mayor does not undermine the purposes of the CVRA. If so, such action may expose the City to legal liability and challenge under the CVRA.

Unfortunately, there are very few court cases to provide a more definitive understanding of the potential liability and challenges to the City. The Supreme Court recently reversed City Council Meeting, Monday, November 6, 2023
65 a Court of Appeal decision which upheld Santa Monica’s at-large voting system under the CVRA (Pico Neighborhood Association v. City of Santa Monica) . While not directly related to switching from districts to a lesser number of districts and an at -large mayor, the decision provided some clarity but also remanded portions of the case back to the Superior Court , thereby not answering major questions about district challenges .

Accordingly, more definitive understanding of potential legal liability from a challenge based on the CVRA is still not addressed in case law. Legislation amending the CVRA and/or relating to by -district elections is introduced annually, however, a review of such legislation has not provided clarity with regard to adjusting a city’s by-district elections to lower the number of districts and allow for an at -large mayor. Whether the Court’s determination in the Santa Monica case generates new legislation remains to be seen.

Accordingly, while options exist within California law to re -establish a directly elected Mayor, the options could expose the City to various claims under the CVRA and with those claims, increased litigation costs.

FISCAL IMPACT
Based on the direction provided on February 6, 2023, to bring forth this measure, an additional $100,000 was added to the Fiscal Year 2023- 24 Budget to cover the costs of the directly elected mayor ballot measure. Estimated costs for conducting two district elections (2 & 5) without an at-large ballot measure is approximately $56,400. With an at-large ballot measure the cost estimate is $162,500. The cost estimates are generated by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder’s Election Estimating Calculator.

In future years, if a two-year term at-large mayor is implemented, the election costs would increase approximately $100,000 per election cycle as estimated using the Election Estimating Calculator due to having an at -large office up for election at each election (versus just paying for 2 or 3 district elections in each cycle).

The City expended approximately $45,000 for a demographic consultant when considering the current district maps and would need to budget an adjusted amount for future demographic work, potentially up to $60,000 or more. Unknown costs related to voter education efforts, as required by State law, on the issue would also be incurred.

These costs would be budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2030/31 and 2031/32 Fiscal Year.

If approved and the City is challenged for violations of the California Voting Rights Act, there are unknown, but potentially significant legal costs associated with defense and plaintiff attorney costs.

No environmental review is required of this item.

Agenda Report

DATE: November 6, 2023

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council

FROM: JR Ranells, Assistant City Manager

SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR INFORMATION

TECHNOLOGY STAFFING AND CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER

SERVICES

SUMMARY
In compliance with the City of La Verne’s Purchasing Policy as contained in Administrative Regulation 204 (AR 204), City Council approval is requested to enter a Professional Services Agreement for up to five-years with SDI Presence LLC for City-wide information technology staffing and Chief Information Officer services.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommend ed that the City Council a uthorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with SDI Presence for Information Technology Staffing and Chief Information Officer Services.

DISCUSSION
As part of the City Manager’s review of departmental needs and support functions, it has been identified that the City’s information technology (IT) tools, resources, and oversight are underserved creating both inefficiencies and liability for the City. Fortunately, the City has had a successful relationship with SDI Presence LLC (SDI) through the Police Department. Specifically, SDI’s Senior Vice President Phil Danie was brought in by Police Chief Flores when she was Captain to modernize and improve the Police Department’s IT infrastructure and capabilities. SDI Presence has been under contract with the City for Police Department IT services and Staff is now proposing extend the agreement for City- wide IT services.

The expansion will include additional oversight by IT specialists and an on-demand Chief Information Officer (CIO) to be incorporated with services already being provided. The CIO’s role would include overseeing the City’s contracted IT service provider, conducting technology procurements, and guiding the City on the use, maintenance and security of information technology. E xisting City staff do not have the capacity or expertise to conduct technology procurements, provide guidance for the City’s use of technology , or implement other needs identified in an IT assessment. IT with in a city has become an essential and critical component of serving the public. IT needs go beyond websites and email to include all financial, permitting, business license, and agenda management software solutions, as well as highly complex public safety systems for Police and Fire.

Additionally, cyber security is a growing threat to municipal governments and utilizing a City Council Meeting, Monday, November 6, 2023
87 highly skilled and proficient provider will provide the City confidence in securing our systems.

Thus, it is necessary to contract with a professional IT organization to provide city -wide IT and CIO services. The City is seeking to expand these services by extending a multi- year agreement in line with needed continuity and compliance with AR 204 (City’s Purchasing Policy).

Per Section F.8.b of the City’s Purchasing Policy, it is not required that this contract be subject to the Request for Proposals Process. Professional Service Contracts “that are not for a set amount and are so closely tied to the individual contracted that the same result would not be expected should the contract be competitively bid (services dependent on the individual contracted), do not have to be competitively bid. ” “ Examples of this include the City Attorney, City Engineer and certain consulting contracts that actually substitute for employment positions. ” The City previously had an executive level Information Systems Manager, however that position has been unfilled since January of 2020, and this wor k substitutes for that position being filled. Under A dministrative Regulation 204, the contracted services must be tied directly to an individual and Phil Danie has been identified as that person pending approval by the City Council for a multi- year Professional Services Agreement with SDI. Additionally, the City reviewed similar municipal needs which have recently completed Request for Proposal for services processes and while not using the traditional “piggy -back” ability as also found in our Purchasing Policy, the costs for services are similar to what SDI has proposed.

SDI has specialized in public sector IT for over 25 years. During that time, clients have engaged their team to provide on- site and remote IT support services and to conduct public sector technology plans. SDI has developed short and long -range project plans and offered valuable insight for budgeting and procurement. SDI has provided Interim IT Director, CIO, and Virtual CIO staff to many California municipalities including the cities of Novato, Gilroy, Watsonville, Stockton, Rancho Cordova, Galt, Santa Cruz, Ventura, and Concord. The SDI team includes CIOs, Chief Technology Officers (CTOs) and Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) with extensive experience and solid track records.

Their consultants have led numerous organizations in both the private and public sectors across the United States serving as trusted advisor for all their technology needs.

SDI Presence and their CIOs are experienced with:
• Change Management
• Standard Operating Procedure Development
• Technology Policy Development
• Enterprise application selection, procurement, and implementation • Cybersecurity Assessments & Remediation
• Cybersecurity Incident Response Planning
• Business Continuity and Disaster Response Planning
• Improving IT Service Levels and Customer Satisfaction

City Council Meeting, Monday, November 6, 2023
88 SDI will work with City executive management to provide management, consultation, oversight and guidance regarding day-to-day technology activities and operations. In this capacity, SDI will supervise technology service delivery to help ensure technical resources are properly deployed to support business priorities as set by City executive management, and interface with other City Departments to ensure seamless service delivery.

As noted earlier, it is anticipated SDI will assign Mr. Phil Danie as the CIO for this engagement. Mr. Danie will be the single point of contact for all project activities. Mr.

Danie is an insightful and results driven professional with considerable success directing a broad range of IT initiatives, including IT Assessments and Strategic Planning, technology governance and business alignment, IT Transition and Transformation activities. With demonstrated ability, Mr. Danie focuses on innovation and enabling business units through effective technology service management. Mr. Danie has extensive experience serving in leadership roles within several California municipal agencies. Mr. Danie’s specialties include: team and project leadership, policy planning and implementation, procurement and selection, IT managed services, IT consulting, IT advisory services, d igital transformation, individual, and team mentoring. Assisting Mr.

Danie will be Scott Sanders. Mr. Sanders provides interim CIO and IT Director services to numerous cities through SDI Presence and has been in the IT field for over 25 years since leaving active duty with the U.S. Marine Corps.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
No additional budget appropriation is being requested with the recommended City Council action. The cost for the agreement as proposed for City-wide IT services with SDI is anticipated to be $462,000 annually if all proposed services are engaged by the City. In the previous fiscal year, the Police Department incurred $228,000 in consulting costs from SDI, which did not cover several of the proposed specialty areas, including the Chief Information Officer (CIO) position and full City -wide IT coordination. For the fiscal year 2023-2024, the operational IT budget for City-wide services was increased compared to previous years in anticipation of greater reliance on consultant services and additional special projects. This also involved centralizing IT costs that were previously distributed among various departments. To accommodate the increased contract costs, personnel appropriations initially allocated for an IT city employee position in the 2022- 23 budget were shifted to operational appropriations in the approved 2023-24 budget. Any identified budget shortage for year one of the contract will be reviewed with the mid -year budget process and subsequent contract year appropriations will be included during the respective annual budget process.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.

LEGAL REVIEW
This report was reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.

Agenda Report

DATE: November 6, 2023

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council

FROM: Ken Domer, City Manager

SUBJECT: FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE ADDING SECTION 6.16.120 –

CURBING DOG WASTE
_________________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
Currently, the La Verne Municipal Code Title 6 ANIMALS , does not include a section pertaining to curbing dog waste. To maintain quality of life and sanitary public spaces, the proposed ordinance authorizes the regulation of dog waste and implements penalties for violations.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council introduce by title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. 1123, entitled, “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF

LA VERNE, COUNT Y OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 6.16 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE RELATIVE TO DOG WASTE.”

DISCUSSION
During a recent community event, it was brought to the attention of City staff that there were concerns regarding dog waste in public spaces. Upon review of the Municipal Code, it was discovered that Title 6 ANIMALS did not include a section pertaining to curbing dog waste. Such a section is common in other jurisdictions and is contained in the County of Los Angeles code, but not referenced within the City’s municipal code.

The proposed ordinance identifies that a person who owns or has custody of a dog must remove dog waste from public property as well as private property not owned by the owner or custodian of the dog and dispose of such in a sanitary manner. Penalties and fines for violations will abide by Chapter 1.24 of the La Verne Municipal Code.

Signs will be posted at public parks, trails, and other relevant areas to educate the public about the requirements of this ordinance.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Nominal fiscal impact resulting from updating of signage.
