PRESENTATIONS
WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH PROCLAMATION - The City Council proclaim March 2024 as Women’s History Month and present the proclamation to La Verne Historical Society President Sherry Best for her achievements in preserving and raising awareness of the role women have played in the development of the City of La Verne.
RECOGNITION AND PRESENTATION OF “PRIDE OF LA VERNE AWARDS” - 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” 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.
This year the “Jack Huntington Pride of La Verne Award” is being presented to Terry Kistler. Terry has led a life marked by dedication to community service, having previously been recognized with La Verne’s Outstanding Older American Award in 2014. For over a decade, he has been a committed member of the Senior Advisory Committee, contributing numerous hours to community enrichment. Notably, he has portrayed Santa Claus at various La Verne events, bringing joy and festive spirit to many. His journey as Santa spans decades,

initially starting when his beard naturally transitioned to white. His tenure includes 20 years at the La Verne Parent Participation Preschool and Head Start program, 10 years for the La Verne Community Services Department’s preschool programs at various local sites, and an impressive 15 years at McKinley Children's Center. Beyond spreading holiday cheer, he volunteers with the Patriot Guard of Southern California, escorting fallen military soldiers to their final resting places, and has been actively involved with Rotary. Before his extensive volunteer work, he made a significant life change in 1960 by joining the Navy after dropping out of high school, later earning his GED while stationed at the San Diego Naval Station.
Serving as a “blue water sailor” during the Vietnam War, he was stationed off the coast of Vietnam and in the South China Sea in the early 1960s, concluding his service in 1964 with the rank of E-4. His life story is a testament to his unwavering commitment to serving both his country and community.
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.
This year the “Jim Scranton Pride of La Verne Award” is being presented to Chris Rix.
Chris has made a positive impact on our community with his selfless commitment to our community. Chris and his wife Anita have 5 beautiful kids and Chris has always volunteered with all his kids’ activities including baseball, football, cheer, and basketball. Chris is always involved in the community. With coaching for La Verne Little League and LVSD Pop Warner, he has not only enriched the lives of those directly involved but has also inspired and uplifted the entire community. Chris Rix exemplifies the true spirit of volunteerism through his enthusiasm, leadership, and willingness to provide all the kids an amazing sports experience.
His kindness, empathy, and ability to bring people together make Chris a standout candidate for this esteemed award. We are immensely grateful for Chris Rix invaluable contributions.

Council Member Johnson asked if there was a standard size caliber for these guns , so partners could potentially share ammunition.
Lt. Leeper clarified sharing of ammunition is not an opportunity that normally arises during shooting situations.
Lt. Leeper also stated this type of program is a huge moral e boost for the officers, this tells them that the Council supports them by agreeing to the right equipment.
Mayor Hepburn called for public comment. Comments were received from the following:
Danita Beauchamp, asked about the loaner program liability and how that could factor in if a potential work er’s comp situation arises , and mentioned the weapons SWAT carries.
Mayor Hepburn called Lt. Leeper forward to answer the question regarding liability.
Due to the standards set, for shooting protocols, and firearms training and with the certification of the weapon by the armor, there is no liability, unless they go outside of those set parameters.
City Attorney Hall Barlow agreed liability does not change under this program, and clarified there was no additional workmen’s compensation liability associated with this program.
Lt. Leeper also spoke to the comment regarding the SWAT weapons, clarifying the weapons that swat carry are the same ones that officers carry on patrol.

City of La Verne, City Council
Agenda Report
DATE: March 18, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Meg McWade, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: APPROPRIATION OF FUNDING AND AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR
LAS FLORES PARK SOUTH PLAYGROUND IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT
SUMMARY
This action will appropriate funding in the amount of $440,000 and award a construction contract to Miracle Recreation in the amount of $369,568.46 for the Las Flores Park South Playground Improvement Project.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Adopt a Resolution, approving the acceptance of grant funds from the California Natural Resources Agency for the Las Flores Park Improvements and authorize the City Manager to conduct all negotiations and execute all applicable documents for completion of the project;
2. Appropriate funding in the amount of $440,000 for completion of the project;
3. A ward a Public Works construction contract to Miracle Recreation, the lowest, most responsible bidder, in the amount of $369,568.46 for the Las Flores Park
South Playground Improvement Project; and
4. A uthorize staff to issue change orders not exceeding 10% of the construction contract for a total possible construction contract cost of $406,525.31.
DISCUSSION
The City of La Verne maintains numerous facilities for the benefit of public use including public parks. It has been identified that the south playground located at Las Flores Park, visible from the intersection of 8
th Street and F Street and directly adjacent to the Roynon Elementary School Campus, needed updates for safety and serviceability.
Notably, the proposed removal of the existing sand for replacement of higher performing surface material to attenuate impacts will be a significant improvement to enhance safety for users of the playg round. The proposed playground surface is a “Pour in Place” rubberized surface which will extend the full limits of the playground area. The new surface will also join the adjacent sidewalk to allow for accessible transition from the walkway into the play area, bringing the amenity up to current standards.
In addition to the playground surface improvements this project will provide, all new equipment will be furnished and installed to refresh the playground and allow for more City Council Agenda Packet, March 18, 2024, Page 21
inclusive features for users of varying physical abilities to enjoy. Features include a new shade structure over the primary play equipment feature area, ramped access to portions of the play equipment, and musical features intended to expand play equipment options for users to interact with.
As part of the project features, a new
chain link fence along the west boundary
of the park will be constructed to align
with the property boundary between the
Roynon Elementary School campus and
the park . The project will include
replacement of gate access from the
school yard area to the playground
space. The City and Bonita Unified
School District have a joint use
agreement in place that grants the
school access to the equipment for use
during school hours , among other features of the park including th e sports fields. This agreement, “Restated Master Agreement for Joint Use, Maintenance and Operations of Education and Community Recreation Facilities between the Bonita Unified School District and the City of La Verne” has been in place since June 2011. Any future amendments are anticipated to allow for the continuation of this arrangement. The joint use of the park play equipment and facilities maximizes the community use of the space to benefit the school and the public park users.
Bid Process
The Community Services Department recently solicited bids for the project using a vendor selected through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing process. Cooperative purchasing is “Procurement conducted by, or on behalf of, one or more Public Procurement Units” as defined by the American Bar Association Model Procurement Code for State and Local Governments. Sourcewell streamlines the procurement process by developing Requests for Proposals for national, competitive solicitations that meet or exceed local requirements.
This Cooperative Purchasing vendor, Miracle Recreation, will be providing the playground and installation under Sourcewell Contract #030117-LTS. The City has successfully used Miracle Recreation for new playground related equipment and maintenance, with the most recent playground installation currently underway at Lowell Brandt Park .
Consistency in using the manufacturer’s equipment helps streamline repairs and service as well as maintaining the City’s parts inventory in a manageable and effective manner.
The project bid proposal was reviewed by the Community Services Department staff along with Public Works and Engineering to evaluate the scope and ensure the improvements were complete to facilitate a successful final product. A final revised scope was furnished and City staff recommend s to the City Council that it be awarded. The proposal is included with this report as Attachment 2. Further details on specific costs Rendering of Proposed Playground
City Council Agenda Packet, March 18, 2024, Page 22
and playground elements can be found in that document, including renderings of the playground layout and features.
Should the City Council award the project as recommended, work will initiate with ordering of the playground equipment. It’s anticipated that the equipment delivery will take a number of months, with construction tentatively scheduled to take place during the summer season of 2024. The School District is aware of the timing of the project, and the potential for the project to be occurring in the fall if manufacturing delays happen. The project will minimize impacts to the school, where possible. This project is part of several current improvements underway at the park.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The total cost of the Las Flores Park Playground Improvement Project is anticipated to be $440,000 which includes construction award, internal costs, construction management/inspection, and contingency. The construction contract award amount with Miracle Recreation is $369,568.46; with a 10% contingency, the maximum amount for the contractor could be $406,525.31. Direct appropriation of funding will be included in the Mid-Year Budget Report.
Staff recommends approval of proposed funding for the project, in the amount of $440,000, from three sources which include:
$315,000 California Natural Resources Agency
(Assembly Member Chris Holden’s Park Improvement Funds) $ 75,000 “Perk Your Park” Niagara Water grant funds
$ 50,000 Bonita Unifie
d School District Project Contribution
As noted in the proposed funding, this project benefits from the support of Assembly Member Chris Holden through the California Natural Resources Agency Grant for Las Flores Park Improvements. The City was also selected as one of three nationwide 2023 “Perk Your Park” grant recipients from Niagara Water. Additionally, the Bonita Unified School District will be contributing to the completion of this project.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301 Existing Facilities, and City of La Verne environmental guidelines.

The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this report and the attached resolution and approves them as to form.

WHY MIRACLE ®
City Council Agenda Packet, March 18, 2024, Page 39
Miracle brings you the thrills of a lifetime.
Miracle is one of the nation’s fi rst and most innovative playground equipment manufacturers. We fi rst began shaping the future of play in 1927 when our founder Johnnie Ahrens created the Whirl — a tilting, kid-powered merry-go-round — based on the timeless insight that, “Kids want action.” That same inspiration has driven more than 90 years of innovation, including the introductions of the fi rst fi berglass slide (1963), the 25-foot Mega Tower® (2000s), and the Avalanche Inclusive Slide (2015). Our latest advance, the Extreme Generation adventure playground, delivers challenging physical events for kids seeking extreme play. Its design brings play to new heights, with innovative, fully-enclosed skyways that provide elaborate rope-course-inspired activities far above ground, safely adding an element of perceived risk to any play space.
This never-ending dedication to innovation is the reason why, even after more than 90 years, the Miracle legacy remains focused on building yours.

Miracle® uses high quality materials and state of the art manufacturing processes. Commercial playgrounds and products are subjected to years of environmental and solar exposure. Such extreme exposure takes its toll on paints and pigments, and all colors will fade over time. So Miracle® does not warrant against color fading or discoloration. It is important to properly maintain your playground to ensure its longevity. Depending on environmental conditions at your location, the installation of fabric shade structures may help to delay fading and discoloration.

City of La Verne, City Council
Agenda Report
DATE: March 18, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sam Gonzalez, Acting Chief of Police
SUBJECT:
2024 ANNUAL AB 481 REPORT – MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE
POLICY AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 1124
SUMMARY
Assembly Bill 481 ("AB 481") went into effect on January 1, 2022, and requires a law enforcement agency to obtain approval of its governing body to enact a military equipment use policy before purchasing, using, raising funds for, or acquiring military equipment. AB 481 requires the policy be approved by the City Council by o rdinance and reviewed annually.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council should introduce by title only and waive further reading of Ordinance No. 1124, re-affirming Chapter 9 (“Military Equipment Policy”) to Title 9, Section 9.10.010 of the La Verne Municipal Code governing the use of military equipment by the Police Department and approving the Military Equipment Policy 709.
DISCUSSION
AB 481 necessitates that the City Council adopt an ordinance at a regular meeting to approve a military equipment use policy. The City Council previously adopted Section
9.10.010 of the La Verne Municipal Code – Military Equipment Policy in 2022. The ordinance mandates an annual review of the military equipment report to ensure compliance and decide on the renewal of each type of equipment as per Government Code Section 7071(e)(2).
The military equipment use policy must include a description of the equipment, its purpose, fiscal impact, legal and procedural rules, training requirements, compliance mechanisms, and public engagement procedures.
The updated list of equipment and annual report have been posted on the Police Department’s website since February 6, 2024. There have been no complaints or concerns raised about the use of the C ity’s AB 481 equipment in the past year. The equipment has been used for training and law enforcement responses, and in full compliance with the City’s adopted policy. The report also reflects anticipated purchases to be made in 2024.
As part of AB 481, the public hearing for this item is considered as a community engagement meeting in which the members of the public can comment and ask questions City Council Agenda Packet, March 18, 2024, Page 47
regarding the annual military equipment report and the Police Department’s funding, acquisition, or use of such equipment.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The attached report outlines the fiscal impact of military equipment, including acquisition costs and annual maintenance estimates, to ensure fiscal responsibility and transparency. Current costs have been included within the Fiscal Year 2023- 2024 Adopted Budget and no additional funding is needed. Anticipated purchases will be included in Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Police Department Budget requests.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.
LEGAL REVIEW
This report and the attached ordinance have been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney to ensure compliance with AB 481 and other applicable laws.

Chemical Agents and Chemical Agent Delivery Devices
Chemical Agents and Chemical Agent Delivery Devices: Compounds, devices, and delivery systems are utilized by SWAT. Compounds can include irritants such as Chlorobenzalmalononitrile (CS) or an inflammatory agent such as Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) or Pava (synthetic OC). Chemical agents can be liquid, powder, or gaseous. Delivery systems can be pyrotechnic, blast dispersion, OC Fogger, or aerosol.
Chemical agent delivery devices consist of the following:
Burn Safe: A metal cylindrical container designed to contain a pyrotechnic chemical agent canister and reduce fire hazard upon deployment into a structure.
Purpose: Depending on the delivery method, chemical agents are capable of being introduced in close proximity or from a distance. Depending on the type of delivery system and/or quantity, chemical agents can be used to saturate individual suspects, violent crowds, or areas of varied size.
Use: Chemical agents are to be used exclusively by the SWAT Unit. Generally, during high risk tactical incidents chemical agents can be used to dislodge a suspect from a stronghold location with the least possible danger to citizens, police, and the suspect. Chemical agents can also be used to prevent an armed suspect from accurately firing at citizens and/or officers. They can also be used in limited instances during civil unrest when objectively reasonable to defend against a threat to life or serious bodily injury to any individual, including the officer, or to bring an objectively dangerous and unlawful situation safely and effectively under control. See Penal Code 13652.
Training Requirements: SWAT Officers authorized in the use of chemical agents have completed extensive chemical agent training upon successfully completing a SWAT academy.
SWAT Officers receive regular training on the deployment and use of chemical agents. SWAT Officers are required to pass annual qualifications with the use of chemical agents and chemical agent delivery systems in order to maintain proficiency.
Fiscal Impact: $1275 (Single Unit Cost)

This program is designed to address crime prevention through a combination of physical space redesign, technological integration, educational outreach, and community partnership.
As outlined in the attached implementation program, BACR will implement the following components to enhance safety for our business community:
• Informed Design of Spaces
• Defensible Space Theory and CPTED Implementation
• Smart City Technologies Integration
• Economic Impact and Investment Incentives
• Target Hardening
• Secure Your Business Brochure
• Business Watch Program
• Emergency Contact System
The program's comprehensive nature, with its emphasis on collaboration, education, and technological integration, is expected to bring a significant reduction in crime rates, thereby fostering a secure and thriving business environment in La Verne. Regular City Council Agenda Packet, March 18, 2024, Page 75
evaluations and flexibility for adjustments will be key in ensuring the program's adaptability and long-term success.
The program proposes a clear timeline for implementation over two years, including initial rollout, engagement, refinement, scaling, and continuous actions for monitoring and support.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Due to no additional candidates submitting nomination papers for the 2024 municipal election, the City was able to cancel the election and can therefore can re-direct $50,000 previously budgeted for City Clerk election expenses. The City is also seeking Federal appropriations to enhance the program based on its replicable program parameters to enhance business security throughout the Route 66 corridor in the San Gabri el Valley.
The re-direction of $50,000 to the BACR program during Fiscal Year 2023- 24 will help launch the program and begin critical elements to enhance the business assistance.

Agenda Report
DATE: March 18, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: JR Ranells, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF GENERAL SERVICES AG REEMENT 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 between the City and the County serves as a framework allowing the City to contract miscellaneous services from the County on an "as needed" basis, encompassing tasks like direct assessment collection, catch basin cleaning, and industrial waste services. It details the procedure for requesting and paying for these services, including the annual adjustment of rates. The agreement has undergone five-year renewals since 1963, and the current agreement is set to expire on June 30, 2024, with an option for a five-year renewal. The provision for the City to contract services from the County is highlighted as a best practice, particularly beneficial for a small city with limited resources.
Initially presented at the March 4 City Council Meeting, the discussion of this item was continued to the March 18
th Meeting to ensure that further information could be provided on the services the City is receiving through the General Services Agreement and the costs associated with these services. This comprehensive assessment can be found in Attachment 4. The agreement is substantially unchanged from the previous five- year agreement with the exception of the dates.
As explained on March 4
th, this agreement is an umbrella agreement which sets forth the ability of City to further contract with the County for additional listed services, if needed by the City. If services are needed and if those services have a cost to provide, they will be listed and agreed to within a separate agreement between the City and County. A previous example of such services is when the City contracted with Los Angeles County to provide building and planning services for residents. At that time, a separate agreement was in place for those specific services . When the City initiated its own City Council Agenda Packet, March 18, 2024, Page 91
Building and Planning services through a third-party contractor, it allowed the agreement with the County to expire. At this time, the City contracts Fire Dispatch and Weed Abatement, and also has a separate agreement with the County for various Health Department inspections.
As was brought up during the March 4
th City Council meeting, the County also receives a
portion of local property tax from residents within the City. Those property taxes pay for general services provided to all residents of the County whereas any specific agreement entered into between the City and County would stipulate how that specified service would be paid for by the City. General services paid for by the County’s portion of property tax include general law enforcement costs not provided by the City (such as bomb squad, certain warrant issues, probation services) and other services open to or benefitting all County residents regardless of residing in a city such as: District Attorney, regional fire services, general health department services, regional park operations including beaches, social services, etc.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Services provided under this agreement are planned for in the standard budgeting process.

City of La Verne, City Council
Agenda Report
DATE: March 18, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Ken Domer, City Manager
SUBJECT:
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT FOR CHIEF OF POLICE
SUMMARY
At the March 4, 2024 , City Council meeting, the City Attorney reported out from Closed Session that the City Council unanimously approved the appointment of Sam Gonzalez as Chief of the La Verne Police Department. Per State Law, the employment agreement for the Chief of Police is presented for public consideration and approval by the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve “ AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN SAMUEL GONZALEZ
AND THE CITY OF LA VERNE RELATING TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT FOR THE POSITION OF POLICE CHIEF ” and authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents related to the employment of Samuel Gonzalez as Chief of Police.
DISCUSSION
In early February 2023, due to a medical leave of absence for Chief of Police Colleen Flores, Captain Sam Gonalez was named Acting Police Chief . Over the last year, Acting Chief Gonzalez has led the La Verne Police Department in its daily operations, served as part of the La Verne Executive Team comprised of Department Directors, and participated in regional law enforcement boards and associations as La Verne’s representative. Acting Chief Gonzalez has maintained a high level of accountability within the Police Department, focused on retention and recruitment to preserve staffing levels, and fostered a high level of communication with the City Council and community to address issues of concern and ensure understanding of department policies and calls for services. With the recent announcement by Chief Flores that she will retire , the City Council discussed the appointment of a new Chief on February 20, 2024, and interviewed Acting Chief Gonzalez on March 4, 2024.
