The current program is geared in a different direction, to deter crime and enhance technology for businesses.

Mayor Hepburn stated we need to re -engage the community, and our businesses as our current laws are not favorable to our community, residents, and businesses. We need to take control of this and reach out to our legislators, as we have a limited budget. We need to work as a team, all our neighbors need to be engaged, as this crime is unacceptable.
Prioritize the criteria, and then reach out to our partners, the D owntown Business es, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary and all the different members to engage immediately to make this a success.
Mayor Pro Tem Lau followed up on the Mayor’s comments, with the suggestion that if we are looking for a discount from a local vendor, for these specialized services maybe, we include other cities, to increase the business for these vendors.
Acting Police Chief Gonzalez confirmed that our outreach on these matters is expanding, whether it’s the homeless, business community, resident community and enhancing our business watch, to make sure we include all our stakeholders.

One of these programs is the California State Fire Marshal mandated annual inspection program. The City’s Fire Marshal has historically been solely responsible for conduct ing the annual inspections. In doing so, correction notices are issued for violations as necessary. The amount of time, and level of enforcement required for correcting violations depends upon the severity of the violation(s) identified. Violations that pose an immediate health and safety hazard require an expedient response and possibly even a complete cessation of operations by order of the Fire Marshal . Less dangerous or more complicated cases are given a defined time frame to become California Fire Code Compliant.

SB 1205 Annual Report
March 18, 2024
As the result of high fatality fire rates and increased potential for injury or death, t he California State Fire Marshal, through the California Health & Safety Code and California Fire Code have identified certain building occupational classifications which are required to be inspected by law. Those classifications are:
• Organized Camps
• Day Care Facilities
• Public and Private Schools
• Health Care Facilities
• Detention Facilities
• Multi-Family Housing
• Residential Care Facilities
• High Rise Buildings
It was also the intent of the Legislature to provide mechanisms to ensure jurisdictions had the corresponding resources to complete the inspections. As such, SB 1205 requires the CCR, under the direction of the Fire Chief, to submit an annual report to the City Council indicating its compliance with the educational, multi -family, and residential care facility categories of the mandated annual inspection program. If the division is found to be deficient in completing its mandated inspections, local governing bodies are to be made aware of such with the purpose of providing the financial resources to hire personnel to complete the inspections.
The results of that compliance are below.

The Community Risk Reduction Division is excited to share significant achievements since last year. Despite facing challenges, the fully staffed CRR team accomplished two remarkable feats:
Council Agenda Packet, March 4, 2024, Page 23
SB 1205 Annual Report
March 18, 2024
1. Uncovering 174 additional state inspections. This proactive initiative goes above and beyond the minimum requirements, demonstrating our commitment to fire safety in our community.
2. Successfully completing all 288 SB 1205 requirements. This achievement ensures compliance with crucial state fire regulations, protecting residents and businesses.
These accomplishments are a testament to the dedication and hard work of the CRR team. By leveraging the full staffing, the division streamlined inspection processes, identified areas requiring additional attention, and ultimately exceeded expectations.

SUBJECT: MOTOROLA RADIO UPGRADE
SUMMARY
The La Verne Police Department’s radio system is in need of an upgrade in order to communicate with the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System (LA- RICS), a county-wide radio system. The Department’s radios are upgradeable, and this item will utilize asset forfeiture funds to complete the task.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the Resolution titled, “A RESOLUTION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 ADOPTED BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT OF $105,907.03 WITHIN THE ASSET
FORFEITURE FUND AND AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF MOTOROLA RADIO UPGRADES.”
DISCUSSION
Beginning in 2024, Los Angeles County began transitioning their communications over to a new radio system, the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System (LA-RICS). This system is the primary communication system for public safety agencies in Los Angeles County including the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and the Los Angeles County Fire Department. In addition, law enforcement agencies choosing not to participate in the ICI radio system used by La Verne can also join LA -RICS. LA- RICS operates on both 450-512 MHz band and the 700/800 MHz band. La Verne’s radios do not currently have the ability to communicate in the 700/800 MHz band and therefore, will not properly work on the LA-RICS system. Fortunately, in 2018 the Police Department purchased new radios capable of future upgrades thereby not requiring new radios that would accept the frequency needed to communicate between agencies . However, the Police Department does own 24 portable radios that are not able to be upgraded. Those radios will not be issued to sworn personnel since they are unable to communicate on the LA-RICS system. Those radios will continue to be used for volunteers and other non - sworn support positions. Motorola radios are proprietary, and the upgrade can only be purchased through Motorola.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
If approved, appropriations of $105,907.03 will need to be added to the Fiscal Year 2023- 24 Adopted Budget within the Asset Forfeiture Fund.

SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF GENERAL SERVICES AGEEMENT WITH THE
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
SUMMARY
The current General Services Agreement between the City of La Verne and the County of Los Angeles will expire on June 30, 2024. The approval of this agreement will extend services for a period of five years, through June 30, 2029, thereby allowing the City to contract with the County for various services, if needed.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a General Services Agreement between the City of La Verne and the County of Los Angeles.
DISCUSSION
The General Services Agreement is general in nature and provides authority for the County to render services requested by the City. Services under this agreement primarily consist of miscellaneous services requested from the County on an “as needed” basis.
These services have included direct assessment collection, and a variety of public works activities such as catch basin cleanin g and industrial waste services. The General Services Agreement also specifies the methods by which the City requests and pay s for a service and provides for the annual adjustment of rates. Records indicate that the City of La Verne entered into the initial agreement for services as early as 1958 and has authorized five-year renewals since 1963.
The current agreement is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2024, and is renewable for an additional five years. A copy of the full draft General Services agreement is included as Attachment 1. As a small city with limited resources, the ability to contract certain services with the County when needed, is a best practice and is recommended.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Services provided under this agreement are planned for in the standard budgeting process.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.

Agenda Report
DATE: March 4, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sam Gonzalez, Acting Chief of Police
SUBJECT: SWORN EMPLOYEE FIREARMS PROGRAM
SUMMARY
The La Verne Police Department proposes the introduction of the Sworn Employee Firearms Program (SEFP). This initiative is developed to empower full-time sworn officers to acquire personally preferred, Department-approved handguns for on- duty use. The two components to the program include the Sworn Employee Handgun Purchase Program (SEHPP), and the New Employee Equipment Program (NEEP).
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the implementation of the Sworn Employee Firearms Program, which include s both the S worn Employee Handgun Purchase Program and the New Employee Equipment Program.
DISCUSSION
Historically, the Police Department sought to find a service weapon deemed reliable but had a “ one size fits all ” approach. The Police Department, as with other agencies, has moved away from the tradition of issuing a firearm and training an officer until they have reached a comfortable level of proficiency. Officers are allowed to carry a personally owned firearm but must show proficiency with the firearm before being allowed to carry on-duty. About ten years ago, the Police Department began an analysis of the ergonomics of the firearms purchased for its officers realizing the “one size fits all” approach could decrease an officer’s ability related to the firearm not being customized to fit in the person’s hand thus lessoning the control during use.
Under the SEHPP, officers are given the flexibility to purchase an approved handgun with a zero-interest loan which would be repayable over 24 months via payroll deductions.
Before any purchase, participants are required to submit necessary forms for pre- approval, ensuring transparency and adherence to City Administrative Regulations.
Over the years, the Police Department has recognized that officers who carry a personally selected firearm were more proficient in their handling and accuracy of the firearm. When officers are equipped with firearms they are personally comfortable and proficient with, it results in improved accuracy and quicker response times during critical incidents.
The option for personalization caters to individual needs, accommodating various hand sizes, shooting styles, and comfort levels, which is often not possible with standard-issue

firearms. This personalization led to officers investing additional time in training, thereby enhancing their skills and professional development in the handling of firearms.
Logistically, the program reduces the Police Department's need to seek and maintain different firearm models. It upholds high standards of safety and reliability by ensuring that all purchased handguns meet current standards and receive approval from the Police Department Rangemaster prior to deploying.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Current Program Analysis:
The current program replacement cycle consists of purchasing and replacing duty firearms for all officers every 10 years. In 2013, the Police Department purchased handguns at a cost of approximately $40,000. We are within the replacement cycle and based on current pricing, the projected cost to replace duty handguns is approximately $70,000.
Proposed Program(s) Analysis:
• Sworn Employee Handgun Purchase Program (SEHPP):
Under the SEHPP, officers would be given the flexibility to purchase a Police Department- approved handgun with a zero- interest loan, repayable over 24 months via payroll deductions. Before any purchase, participants are required to submit necessary forms for pre-approval, ensuring transparency and adherence to City Administrative Regulations.
Implementing the SEHPP will require initial funding for the loan program . The program’s design encourages responsible financial management among officers, aligning personal interests with departmental fiscal policies. The program’s initial fiscal impact is largely driven by the number of employees participating in the program. The maximum upfront cost based on the current employees with the maximum allowable loan is approximately $123,000 with funds repaid to the City over a two-year period.
All costs for the SEHPP will be reimbursed by the employee, recorded as an employee loan, and will not require an appropriation.
Additionally, there is further fiscal prudence with the incorporation of the SEHPP. The Police Department typically trades or sells used department -owned firearms to select vendors, which could provide credit toward updating the Urban Patrol Rifle (UPR) program in the 2024– 2025 budget. The projected trade- in cost for the current handgun inventory is approximately $25,000, nearly half of the necessary cost for updating much- needed safety equipment for officers.
• New Employee Equipment Program (NEEP):
The NEEP will provide newly hired officers with a $1, 500 stipend to procure specified safety equipment, departing from the current practice of the Police Department buying and issuing specified equipment. New hires will receive an equipment matrix outlining necessary safety gear, including choice of firearm with approval, holster, optic sights, and a magazine pouch.
FEHPP
March 4, 2024
Due to (3) new police officers being hired, the projected costs for NEEP has an estimate of $4,500 for Fiscal Year 2023- 2024 which will be covered by the current budget under safety equipment.
For Fiscal Year 2024-2025, there is a projection of hiring (5) new police officers which will have a NEEP projected costs of $7,500. If approved, NEEP will be included in the General Fund as part of the regular budget process going forward.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.
LEGAL REVIEW
The proposed SEFP has been reviewed for legal compliance with state and federal firearms regulations, ensuring alignment with Police Department policies and immediate implementation feasibility.
