8. Replacement Utility Vehicle For Fire Department - The Fire Department operates utility vehicles to support several departmental functions, including deploying the Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV). The Department currently utilizes a 2014 Ford F-150 utility vehicle that is not suited or equipped for towing the UTV, trailer, and rescue equipment long range and out of local area assignments. The Fleet Division requests the authorization to purchase a replacement vehicle suited for this role.
Recommendation: That the City Council:
1. Authorize the Fleet Division to issue a purchase order to Fontana Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) to purchase a 2024 ¾ ton Ram Truck to replace the current F150. This purchase would be a competitive award to Fontana CDJR in the amount of $60,853.52 based on an informal bid process conducted by the department.
2. Authorize appropriations be added to the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget in the amount of $45,000 from the Equipment Fund (Fund 624) reserves and $35,000 from the Community Facilities District (CFD) 90-1 Fund from the Fire Department's restricted balance for the purchase of the unit and the up-fitting.
Up-fitting is estimated at $19,146.48 for code 3 lighting and other outfitting components, for a total vehicle cost of $80,000.
Both recommendations above were Approved.
9. Award of Contract For Las Flores Park Modular Restroom Improvement Project - This action will appropriate funding and award a construction contract to Grbcon, Inc. in the amount of $982,822.50 for the Las Flores Park Modular Restroom Improvement Project.
The project will be funded in part from a financial contribution from Assembly Member Chris Holden's office as a component of a suite of projects that have been funded and are underway at the park.
Recommendation: That the City Council:
1. Award a public works construction contract to Grbcon, Inc., the lowest, most responsible bidder, in the amount of $982,822.50 for the Las Flores Park Modular Restroom Improvement Project (Proj. No. PK2303);
2. Authorize staff to issue change orders not exceeding 10% of the construction budget for a total possible construction cost of $1,081,105.00; and
3.Adopt a Resolution appropriating $480,000 from a grant from California Natural Resources Agency (Assembly Member Chris Holden’s) Park Improvement Funds to supplement the adopted Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget and re-allocate with the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget, $280,000 from the previously budgeted Park Dwelling funds for the Las Flores Modular Restroom Improvement Project, modifying the total budget for the project to be $1,200, 000.
All recommendations above were Approved.
PUBLIC HEARING
10.Resolution of Intention to Approve an Amendment to the Contract between the Board of Administration of the California Public Employees' Retirement System and the City Council of the City of La Verne - Resolution of Intention to approve an amendment to the contract between the board of administration of the California Public Employees' Retirement System and the City Council of the City of La Verne pursuant to California Government Code 20516 to include cost-share of the employers cost by the employees within select classic groups; and Introduction of an Ordinance Authorizing an Amendment to the Contract Between the City Public Resolution of Intention to Approve an Amendment to the Contract between
P a g e 5 | 9
Recommendation: That the City Council:
1. Based Adopt a Resolution titled, "A RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO
APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE BOARD
OF ADMINISTRATION OF THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES'
RETIREMENT SYSTEM AND THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LA VERNE PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE 20516"
2. Introduce By Title Only And Waive Further Reading Of Ordinance No. 24-XX, "An Ordinance Authorizing An Amendment To The Contract Between The City Council of La Verne And The Board Of Administration of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System.”
City Manager Domer called Finance Director Lopez forward to report on this item. After reviewing the recommendations above, if approved the next step is to hold a secret ballot where each employee impacted will have the opportunity to vote. Depending on the outcome we will move forward with the filing of the paperwork with CalPERS, and after waiting the required 20 days bring the ordinance back for final adoption.
Council Comments: Mayor Hepburn acknowledged the generosity of the employees to help with this cost sharing of the CalPERS Retirement Program.
Council Member Crosby agreed, the price of CalPERS just keeps going up.
Mayor Hepburn called for public comment: There was none.
Mayor Hepburn called for a motion, it was moved by Johnson and seconded by Kashifalghita and approved 5-0.
11. Resolution amending the 2024-25 Comprehensive Fee Schedule for the Implementation of a 2% Technology Fee on all Building Permits to cover permit software licensing, plan review software licensing, and additional technology costs associated with permitting, plan review, and inspections - The City’s Comprehensive Fee Schedule, as established by Resolution 24-22, is reviewed each year in conjunction with the annual budget process. Although the Community Development Department had identified an additional fee for the online building permit hosting system when the 2024-25 Comprehensive Fee Schedule was adopted, they noted that the Building Industry Association of Southern California requested notification which had not been completed timely. This proposed Resolution provides for the amendment to the recently adopted 2024-25 Comprehensive Fee Schedule to include the added fee with the desired notification provided.
Recommendation: That the City Council adopt "A resolution of the City Council of the City of La Verne, California, amending the 2024-25 comprehensive fee schedule for the implementation of 2% technology fee on all building permits to cover permit software licensing, plan review software licensing, and additional technology costs associated with permitting, plan review, and inspections
City Manager Domer called Senior Management Analyst Ellie Luo forward to report on this item. The details of the item and recommendation were summarized for Council.
City Manager Domer clarified the additional charge was to help us recoup the actual costs for services, and the permit software allows for online permitting, which was previously covered by a grant that’s expired. The 2% covers the cost of our system and is less than what other similar
P a g e 6 | 9
cities charge.
Mayor Hepburn called for public comment: There was none.
Mayor Hepburn called for a motion, it was moved by Crosby and seconded by Lau and approved 5-0.
OTHER MATTERS
12. Award of Contract for Psychological Evaluation Services for Concealed Carry Applicants The La Verne Police Department (LVPD) sought proposals from qualified psychological evaluation service providers to conduct comprehensive psychological assessments of applicants for Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permits. The requirements for providing services include the cost to the applicant, the administration of standardized psychological tests, personal interviews, and the preparation of evaluation reports to assist the LVPD in determining the applicants for carrying concealed weapons.
Recommendation: That City Council approve an agreement with Seal Beach Counseling for Psychological Evaluation Services for Concealed Carry Applicants.
City Manager Domer called forward LT. Chris Dransfeldt to report on the CCW contract, who stated there have been some changes in the law regarding the CCW psychological evaluations as of January 1, 2024, Senate Bill 2 was enacted which changed the fees and requirements. Due to this change the Police Department posted a request for proposal to vendors providing psychological evaluations. Three qualified proposals were received, with Seal Beach Counseling Services having the advantage of offering the services via Telehealth HIPAA compliant and being less cost to the applicant.
Council discussion: Council discussed the various aspects of the contract, the fees and the process.
Mayor Hepburn called for public comment: Comments were received from the following:
Danita Beauchamp.
Council comments: Mayor Pro Tem Johnson felt there was merit for the process.
Council Member Crosby stated there was a benefit in keeping the CCW permit process and the $150 per person, it’s a benefit for the City and the yearly average of 40 people is not an exorbitant amount.
Council Member Lau stated there is merit in the psychology exam, and if we previously agreed to pay the $150, then we should continue to do so moving forward.
Council Member Kashifalghita believes it’s a good thing to get people who want to carry a firearm, then they need to follow the rules. If we the city can pay for it, then the city does pay for it.
Mayor Hepburn supports Police Chief Gonzalez on the psychological testing. We need to do it, it’s a background check, it’s extremely important. I don’t feel that the City should pay for it, there are many other things in our City budget right now that require funding. If a person wants to get a CCW they should pay for it.
Mayor Hepburn called for a motion, it was moved by Crosby and seconded by Johnson and approved with a vote of 3-2, Hepburn and Lau dissenting to approve the provider but with the City picking up the $155 fee per applicant.
P a g e 7 | 9
The City Council, as part of general direction, stated that if the City’s Fee Resolution needed to be amended due to this action that staff should bring it back at the next meeting. (It has been determined that the Fee Resolution does not need to be amended.)
13.Civic Center and Durward Way Parking Review and Proposed Restrictions – Request for a three (3) hour parking zone on Durward Way.
Recommendation: That the City Council adopt a resolution titled, "A RESOLUTION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, DESIGNATING CERTAIN PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON DURWARD WAY DURING SCHOOL HOURS," per La Verne Municipal Code Section 10.40.140 and authorizing the City Manager, in collaboration with the.
City Manager Domer called Captain Jason Prows forward to report on the proposed parking restrictions on Durward Way. A study was conducted for two weeks during the hours of 7:00 am – 3:00 pm, during this time period there was virtually no parking available on Durward Way. Recommendations from the Police Chief and Public Works Director are to implement a time limit zone.
Council discussion: Council discussed the pros and cons of limiting the parking on Durward Way.
Mayor Hepburn called for public comment: There was none.
Council comments: Council Member Kashifalghita wanted to know the timeframe to move the Foothill Transit bus stop location, to gain additional parking spots.
Mayor Hepburn wanted additional discussion to include the School District, he agreed the students should not be parking in the City Hall parking lot.
Council Member Lau wanted to reach out to the School District regarding additional parking in the high school lot and reach out to Foothill Transit about not parking there and obstructing things.
City Manager Domer after hearing Council comments and concerns, the city hall lot will be posted and enforced. Then over the summer additional data can be collected with normal activities and see how full the parking lot is.
Mayor Hepburn asked Community Services Director Duran for clarification on the timing of classes.
Community Services Director Duran stated the biggest problem right now is with the Senior Programs, during the day, as most of those programs are from 8:00 a.m. -2:00 p.m.
The latest class is Bingo on Wednesdays until 4:30 p.m. Staff has received numerous complaints from our Seniors. Wednesdays are also the excursion days, therefore, approximately 40 additional cars need parking spaces.
Mayor called for a motion, it was moved by Lau and seconded by Johnson and approved 5-0.

COUNCIL COMMENTS AND CONFERENCE/MEETING REPORTS
Mayor Hepburn called for Council comments:
Council Member Lau wanted to recognize May is Asian American Pacific Islander month and Mental Health Awareness month. Anyone looking for resources with respect to mental health visit Tri-City’s website. Also, the 4 th of July Committee is looking for sponsorships. Chief Gonzalez was officially sworn in as our Chief on April 18 th, it was a really good event. Both Mayor Pro Tem Johnson and Mayor Hepburn did a nice job with their speeches honoring Sam. The Fair is open, La Verne Day at the Fair is on Friday, please do come it generates a lot of revenue for our city.
Mayor Pro Tem Johnson is disappointed the FAIR Plan didn’t actually show up. This is a very frustrating process, it’s a frustrating company to deal with just because of the volume that they have. I’m glad to hear the City is doing the Firewise Program, it’ll help every resident if the entire City is classified as the fire safe zone.
Council Member Crosby thanked the residents for their participation, the proclamations really highlight the finer things about our City and is looking forward to hearing more about the Veterans Memorial Statues. The Veteran Resources are available on Mondays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Council Member Kashifalghita participated in the LVPD Police Golf Tournament it was an amazing time. Great opportunity and great time to support our law enforcement brothers and sisters that serve our City, also participated in the San Dimas Education Foundation Golf Tournament and presented recognition letters to five Eagle Scouts.
Luke Valentine, Jack Douglas, Ryan Douglas, Quinn Guerrero and Sergio Santamaria, Congratulations gentlemen, job well done. The City is getting a Tesla Supercharger station at Mister D’s.
Mayor Hepburn wished everyone a Happy Mother’s Day this Sunday. Wine walk was an absolute success, the event sold out. Memorial Day is coming up, take care of each other. We have a birthday this Friday, Chief Sam Gonzalez. Everyone sang happy birthday.
Mayor Hepburn asked City Attorney Hall Barlow to read the Closed Session items for the record.

Agenda Report
DATE: May 20, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Cody Howing, City Engineer
SUBJECT: MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 84-1M, ESPERANZA ROAD SLOPES,
ENGINEER'S REPORT
SUMMARY
Attached for City Council's review is the Engineer’s Report for Maintenance District No. 84- 1M. The report contains a reference to the existing plans and specifications for the area to be maintained, the estimated cost to maintain for the Fiscal Year (FY) July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, and the assessment diagram. It is proposed that there will be no change in the levy from the previous thirty-two years ($8.00 per parcel). Staff is recommending that City Council approve the Engineer’s Report on a preliminary basis and set the Public Hearing for June 17, 2024.
RECOMMENDATION
That City Council adopt the attached Resolution, approving the Engineer’s Report and setting the Public Hearing for June 17, 2024.
DISCUSSION
Maintenance District No. 84-1M was formed in 1986. The purpose of the District is to provide for the costs and expenses necessary for the maintenance of the slopes and storm drain facilities associated with the construction of Esperanza Road. Generally, in the past few years, a minimum of effort has been necessary for this maintenance. Unfortunately, during the 1992, 1993, and 1995 winter storms, significant slides occurred. The majority of the cost to repair these slides was funded by federal monies with the District funding the difference. The 2004– 05 storms caused some slope damage in which repair work was also federally funded. No significant damage to this area was caused as a result of the 2023-24 wet season.
Assessments since 1987 have varied from $3.98 to an assessment in 1992 of $8.00. With the application of a credited surplus, the levy is proposed to remain at the maximum assessment of $8.00 per parcel.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Appropriations for the 84-1 Maintenance District will be included during the regular budget process for Fiscal Year 2024-25, funded through the Landscape Maintenance Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The annual maintenance of 84-1M related facilities is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301 and City of La Verne environmental guidelines.

SUBJECT: REMOVAL OF EXISTING CROSSWALK LOCATED AT ARROW HIGHWAY
AND B STREET
SUMMARY
The existing crosswalk at the intersection of Arrow Highway and "B" Street is limited to pavement markings and warning signage with no other elements to enhance warning to drivers of potential pedestrian crossings. With the activation of a new signalized intersection at Arrow Highway and A Street, an alternative crossing location within approximately 600 feet of this existing crosswalk is now available for pedestrian users. In order to proceed with removal of the existing crosswalk, California Vehicle Code (CVC) §21950.5 requires that a public hearing and notice of the proposal be completed.
RECOMMENDATION
That City Council initiate proceedings for the removal of the existing crosswalk located on the east leg of the intersection of Arrow Highway at "B" Street, setting the public hearing for July 1, 2024, and directing the Deputy City Clerk to complete the required notice.
DISCUSSION
At the intersection of Arrow Highway and "B" Street is a crosswalk traversing the intersection's east leg. The existing crosswalk facility is limited to pavement markings and warning signage with no other elements to enhance warning to drivers of potential pedestrian crossings. The crosswalk serves as a marked pedestrian crossing location connecting the south-east corner of the intersection to the north-east portion of the intersection. The crossing is approximately 85 feet in length from curb to curb. The south side of the crosswalk provides a connection to an existing sidewalk and curb ramp. However, the north side terminates at a curb. While there is some limited sidewalk that is a feature of the channel bridge structure, there is no sidewalk connectivity beyond that point to the east or west. Unpaved areas adjacent to A Line (Goldline) adjoin the bridge sidewalk but are not considered to be accessible paths.
Based on historical aerial photos, it appears the crosswalk had existed in a similar location on Palomares Road prior to the construction of Arrow Highway which took place in the mid 1960s.
The exact origin of the crosswalk has not been determined upon review of the facility, but notably, the alignment of the existing crosswalk corresponds similarly to the Live Oak Wash Drainage Channel. Past conditions may have created a pedestrian path or other connectivity for users to access on the north side of the crosswalk, but current conditions do not provide a suitable route of travel beyond the bridge structure.
Due to the lack of control features meeting current design standards, the extended length to
Removal of Existing Crosswalk Located at Arrow Highway and B Street, Page 2
cross Arrow Highway, and a now signalized alternative pedestrian crossing located at "A" Street, removal of the existing crosswalk is anticipated to enhance public safety by directing pedestrian traffic to the signal to cross Arrow Highway. City staff presented the crosswalk removal concept to the Active Transpiration Committee (ATC) on January 9, 2024. The Committee made a recommendation to continue with the process and bring the item to the City Council.
The removal process is described in CVC §21950.5 which requires that notice of the crosswalk removal is completed no less than 30 days prior to the scheduled removal. Following the conclusion of the resulting public hearing, the crosswalk may be removed if directed by the City Council. Staff have included the removal of the crosswalk as part of the scope of an upcoming pavement repair project that is anticipated to be brought to the City Council for consideration of a contract award in June 2024. The intent is that if ultimately approved for removal, staff can arrange for immediate removal without further delay resulting from obtaining competitive bids.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Removal of this crosswalk is estimated to cost between $5,000 to $10,000. The work can be covered under the pending road resurfacing project that will be brought to City Council's consideration in June 2024. Actual pricing for the removal work is anticipated to be available for the City Council's consideration during the public hearing proposed to be set on July 1, 2024.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Yvonne Duran, Community Services Director
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING PARTICIPATION IN THE LOS ANGELES URBAN
COUNTY PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION PROGRAM
SUMMARY
The City of La Verne, through the Los Angeles Urban County Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program, has been allocated funding to participate in eligible affordable housing programs. The eligible programs the City will be participating in are Operating Costs for Emergency Shelters and Supportive Case Management for the unhoused.
RECOMMENDATION
That City Council adopt the attached Resolution titled “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING PARTICIPATION IN
THE LOS ANGELES URBAN COUNTY PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION PROGRAM.”
DISCUSSION
In 2017, Governor Brown signed a 15-bill housing package aimed at addressing the state’s housing shortage and high housing costs. Specifically, it included the Building Homes and Jobs Act (SB 2), which established a $75 recording fee on real estate documents to increase the supply of affordable homes in California. SB 2 established the PLHA Program, which provides a permanent source of funding to cities and counties who have a certified Housing Element to assist with affordable housing.
In 2020, the Community Development Department, who oversaw homeless programs at the time, allocated Year 1 funding ($91,588) to the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust with nineteen (19) other cities to finance the planning and construction of homeless housing in the San Gabriel Valley.
The state is on schedule for the release of Year 2 ($142,357), Year 3 ($176,698), and Year 4 ($88,561) funding, but the difference for these years is that cities must have a State-approved Housing Element, which the City of La Verne has completed. The City plans to allocate these funds for Operating Costs for Emergency Shelters and Supportive Case Management for the unhoused, including:
• Operating Costs for Emergency Shelters
Use PLHA funds to pay for beds at Hope 4 Home (H4H) to be utilized for those unhoused while in process to secure permanent housing and/or mental health services. Our La Verne Police and Community Services Departments would be placing individuals in the designated beds on a
Resolution Approving Participation in the Los Angeles Urban County Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program,
temporary basis as we encounter the unhoused within our City. The shelter provides an onsite medical clinic and numerous services. The San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) will have a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) amongst its members, which will define the scope of additional services with the City of Pomona’s H4H.
• Supportive Case Management
Use PLHA funds to pay for high acuity supportive case management through the Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (L.A. CADA). They are a licensed and certified substance use and behavioral treatment provider by the State of California’s Department of Health Care Services and the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health–Substance Abuse and Prevention and Control. The agency treats persons with addiction and behavioral problems by providing client-centered, trauma-informed, recovery-oriented services, offered by a staff of licensed, certified, and registered professionals. The SGVCOG will have a MOA amongst its members, which will define the scope of additional services with L.A. CADA and will include a Statement of Work (SOW) within the contract.
The City would also execute an Agreement with SGVCOG to administer these programs as this is the most effective and beneficial use to the City of La Verne.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Appropriations of $88,561 will be included within the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Proposed Budget in the Miscellaneous Grants Fund for Grant revenues, Operating Costs for Emergency Shelters and Supportive Case Management. Funding for the project is supported by the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program and there is no impact on the General Fund.

SUBJECT: AUTHORIZING CITY STAFF INVOLVEMENT IN A RE-CONSTITUTED
VETERANS' MEMORIAL AD HOC COMMITTEE
SUMMARY
On May 6, 2024, a presentation to the City Council announced a planned addition of three (3) bronze statues to the Veterans' Memorial.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council Authorize the City Manager to Designate Two (2) Staff Members to Participate in the Veterans' Memorial Ad Hoc Committee.
DISCUSSION
At the May 19, 2008, City Council meeting, the City Council approved a conceptual plan for the Veterans' Memorial. This action was followed up by the establishment of the Veterans' Memorial Committee on June 16, 2008. The Committee at that time was made up of two (2) Council Members, two (2) representatives from the Veterans' of Foreign Wars, Post 12034, and one Staff member.
At the May 6, 2024, City Council meeting, former Council Member Dan Harden presented plans for the addition of three (3) bronze statues to the Veterans' Memorial and the need for a fundraising campaign to assist in the effort. The City Council provided input and gave direction for the City Manager to bring this item back for City Council consideration of re-constituting the Veterans' Memorial Committee on an ad hoc basis to assist in the effort. The City Manager will be authorized to designate two City Staff members to work alongside other volunteer members to bring the addition of the statues to fruition and ensure long-term maintenance of the Memorial is planned. Through this action, the City Manager will assign the Public Works Director, or designee, and the Community Services Director, or designee, in this capacity.
As an ad hoc committee, the Veterans' Memorial Committee will meet as needed for a time period not to exceed eight (8) months, unless extended by the City Council.

SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 24-1127, "AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AN
AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY COUNCIL OF LA
VERNE AND THE BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION OF THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM."
SUMMARY
This action is to adopt an ordinance amending the contract between the City and the Board of Administration for the California Public Employees' Retirement System related to employee cost share percentage of the employer's portion.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Ordinance 24-1127, "An Ordinance Authorizing an Amendment to the Contract Between the City Council of La Verne and the Board of Administration of the California Public Employees' Retirement System."
DISCUSSION
On May 6, 2024, the City Council introduced by title only and waived further reading of an ordinance amending the contract between the City and the Board of Administration for the California Public Employees' Retirement System. The ordinance completes the process to increase the employees' cost share of the employers portion of pension payments by 1% for unrepresented employees and members of the Police Officers Association, Police Middle Management Association, and City Employees Association, as agreed to in the most recent negotiated Memorandums of Understanding. The employee cost share for the City Manager increases by 2% per the City Manager employment agreement.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The action by Classic employees to pick up a percentage of the City's portion of pension payments, adding to their current 8% (miscellaneous) or 9% (safety employees) pension already paid by the employee, reduces the City's pension obligation costs as identified when the Memorandums of Understanding were approved.

Not applicable.

Agenda Report
DATE: May 20, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sam Gonzalez, Police Chief
SUBJECT: POLICE DEPARTMENT UTILIZATION AND STAFFING STUDY
SUMMARY
On December 5, 2022, the City Council directed the Department to execute an agreement with the Matrix Consulting Group to conduct a comprehensive analysis of police operations to determine appropriate and optimum staffing levels, while ensuring management of operations is efficient. This document provides the analysis and findings of that effort.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council receive and file the Police Department Utilization and Staffing Study completed by the Matrix Consulting Group.
DISCUSSION
The scope of this study included the assessment of current and projected law enforcement operations, response capabilities, staffing, and other resources necessary for the delivery of services to the City.
This project focused on emergency service system delivery, which included pro-active police response (proactivity), resource allocations, current and projected staffing, alternative service delivery, management of resources, and responsiveness to the public. The study and this report also set the stage for longer-term planning in departmental operations.
Data utilized in this study was developed based on the work conducted by the project team, including interviews conducted with staff, collection, and analysis of workload and service data, and a review of operational documents and reports, budget data, organizational structure, and key practices. In addition to the staffing and operational assessment of the Police Department, the project team was asked to conduct a space needs assessment for a new public safety building. The current Public Safety Building, which houses the administrative functions of both the Police and Fire Departments, as well as Fire Station 1, is severely undersized for modern operations, which include high levels of technology utilization and increased gender and ADA compliance requirements. This space assessment included developing a space program for both the Police and Fire Departments.
The data compiled led to the various recommendations listed in the Matrix Consulting Group's recommendations to the City Council. There are several recommendations put forth by the consultants for the various Police Department divisions including Administration, Support Services, and Operations. For staffing, the report recommends that by 2033 the Police Department increase staffing by 4 sworn positions and 2 professional positions to continue to provide the same level of service that is recommended now.
With regard to the facility, the current public safety facility poses many spatial and operational challenges for both departments. There is insufficient space for all functional areas and no additional capacity to expand the building to meet current or future staffing and operational needs. The report states that it is clear that the current facility does not meet the current operational needs for either
Police Department Utilization and Staffing Study, Page 2
department or provide many of the spaces needed in modern public safety facilities. The current Public Safety building has approximately 22,000 square feet of space for both Police and Fire. The report indicates that the Police Department alone needs approximately 49,000 square feet to accommodate the Department operations.
The full report is an attachment to this receive and file agenda item. The Chief of Police and City Manager will continue to work together on staffing proposals and bring items to the City Council for action when developed. Additionally, the Chief of Police, Fire Chief, and Executive Team continue to work on necessary improvements to the Public Safety building with a goal of developing a proposal and funding outlook for replacement of the current facility in the future.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no fiscal impact with the receipt and filing of this document.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.
LEGAL REVIEW
This report was reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.

Matrix Consulting Group 2
• A review of operational documents and reports, budget data, organizational structure, and key practices. (3) Strategic Improvement Opportunities The following table provides a summary of short-term recommendations established in this report. The report itself should be reviewed to understand the factual basis behind each recommendation as well as the analysis leading to each recommendation. Summary of Recommendations Organizational Structure / Office of the Chief Reclassify the current Administrative Lieutenant position to Captain to oversee the Support Services Bureau. Increase Office of the Chief staffing by 1 Administrative Assistant, for a total of 1 Management Analyst and 1 Administrative Assistant. Track tasks and completion time assigned to the Management Analyst and Administrative Assistant to assess workload and analyze future staffing needs.
Operations Division In the Operations Division, increase police officer staffing by one (1) FTE for a total of 14 dedicated FTEs. Develop a plan to use resulting proactivity in positive community interactions, problem solving, and support. Replace the recently re-organized Community Service Officer (CSO) position to maintain an FTE dedicated solely to LVPD purposes. Create a 1 FTE Public Information Officer (PIO) position to serve alongside the Community Services Officer within the Community Services Unit. Create a Homeless Outreach / Behavioral Health Unit staffed with 4 FTE Officers to respond to specialized calls for service.

2.

(1) Organizational Management As previously mentioned, the department is divided into two divisions; Operations and Support Services. Currently, the Operations Division is managed by a Captain and the Support Services Division is managed by an Administrative Lieutenant. In a police organizational structure, the rank of Captain is an upper management position and the rank of Lieutenant is middle management. The responsibilities assigned to the Administrative Lieutenant position are commensurate with the responsibilities currently assigned to the Captain, including their current oversight of the investigations bureau. Reclassifying the Administrative Lieutenant position to a Captain rank will ensure continuity of rank and assist in overall department management. Reclassifying the Administrative Lieutenant position to Captain will also assist in management span of control responsibilities and proper chain of command structure. Currently, the Investigations Lieutenant position is assigned to the Los Angeles Interagency Metropolitan Police Apprehension Crime Task Force (L.A. IMPACT). This position will soon be reintegrated into the department’s organizational structure and reassume investigations management responsibilities. Reclassifying the Administrative Lieutenant position to Captain will ensure a proper chain of command structure as the Investigations Lieutenant should report to the newly created Support Services Captain position. Recommendation: Reclassify the current Administrative Lieutenant position to Captain to oversee the Support Services Bureau. (2) Management Analyst The Chief of Police and other executive team members are supported by a Management Analyst who provides administrative support and program management. The Management Analyst works Monday through Thursday, 7:30am – 5:30pm. Workload and Ability to Meet Unit Objectives Workload associated with administrative positions are traditionally not well documented by police organizations. Completed work product and timely completion of tasks are typical performance measures related to administrative positions. In order to determine the breadth of current workload, the Management Analyst documented tasks during a one month period. These tasks include the following: • Manage Chief’s calendar, telephone calls, and mail.
Police Department Utilization and Staffing Study La Verne, CA
Matrix Consulting Group 6
• Process invoices, refunds, purchase orders, and account number coding. • Petty cash management for police and fire. • Schedule medical, psychological, and polygraph examinations for new hires. • Assign annual employee evaluations to supervisors. • Maintain personnel and training files (POST, outside and internal training documents). • Process personnel action forms for wage increases, promotions, and assignment changes. • Set up and update personnel entries into internal database (to include personnel information and assigned equipment). • Maintain IA files, complete annual purges, and maintain tracking system. • Create ID cards. • Maintain door lock system and file cabinet key system. • Assign key fobs to access city facilities. • Notary. • California POST entries for new appointments / terminations, ensure POST roster is current, ensure various POST certificates are applied for and received. • Assist senior volunteer program with personnel files and appreciation certificates. • Compose various department letters for department personnel. • Department badge inventory, ordering, and changes. • Assist other agency investigators with various personnel records requests and accommodation. • Set up department accounts through Lexipol. • Maintain department budget worksheets for management team. • Department of Justice custodian of records (NLI and Livescan prints). As illustrated above, tasks are broad in nature, and transcend several different segments within the department. These tasks generally fall into two categories; administrative support and program management. Many of the program management tasks are vital to the safe operation and administration of the department. If not maintained properly, many of these tasks can lead to actions such as civil liability, government scrutiny, and possible sanctions.
Police Department Utilization and Staffing Study La Verne, CA
Matrix Consulting Group 7
The Management Analyst is also responsible for administrative support and is the primary point of contact and liaison for the Chief of Police as well as other executive team personnel. This includes managing various meetings and briefings, updating and consulting on individual calendars, and other time sensitive requests. As discussed previously, completed work product and timely completion of tasks are typical performance measures related to positions such as a Management Analyst. Another performance measure used to analyze workload are backlogs associate with assigned tasks. Although currently there are no workload backlogs associated with this position, the Management Analyst position is high-paced and responsibilities transcend throughout the entire department. While no national standard regarding administrative support personnel staffing exists, caution should be used to not overburden administrative personnel. Assigning too many tasks may lead to health related issues, burnout, and high turnover rates. As previously mentioned, the Management Analyst is responsible for both administrative tasks and program management tasks. It is recommended that an Administrative Assistant position be added to the Office of the Chief in order to perform the various administrative tasks. The remaining program management tasks, essential to effective police operations and administration, should be assigned to the Management Analyst. Recommendations: Increase Office of the Chief staffing by 1 Administrative Assistant, for a total of 1 Management Analyst and 1 Administrative Assistant. Track tasks and completion time assigned to the Management Analyst and Administrative Assistant to assess workload and analyze future staffing needs.

3. Operations Division 1. Patrol The following sections provide analysis of patrol workload and other issues relating to the effectiveness of field services. (1) CAD Analysis Methodology Our project team has calculated the community-generated workload of the police department by analyzing incident records in the computer aided dispatch (CAD) database, covering the entirety of calendar year 2022. For incidents to be identified as community-generated calls for service and included in our analysis of patrol, each of the following conditions needed to be met: • The incident must have been unique. • The incident must have been first created in calendar year 2022. • The incident must have involved at least one officer assigned to patrol, as identified by the individual unit codes of each response to the call. • The incident type of the event must have sufficiently corresponded to a community-generated event. Call types that could be identified with a high level of certainty as being either self-initiated (e.g., traffic stops) or other kinds of activity generated by the police department (e.g., directed patrol) are not counted as community-generated calls for service. • There must have been no major irregularities or issues with the data recorded for the incident that would prevent sufficient analysis, such as having no unit code or lack of any time stamps. After filtering through the data using the methodology outlined above, the remaining incidents represent the community-generated calls for service handled by LVPD patrol units. (2) Calls for Service by Hour and Weekday The following table displays the total number of calls for service handled by patrol units by each hour and day of the week:

likely to occur in the late afternoon and early evening hours compared to the morning time. (5) Call for Service Response Time by Priority Level The following table displays call for service statistics priority level, showing the distribution of calls by response time for each category, with the median (middle value) response time2 indicated as a semitransparent blue line: Call for Service Response Time by Priority Level Priority Level # CFS % of CFS Median RT

This analysis demonstrates that as priority levels increase, the median response time to these calls for service increases as well. While all calls for service are important in the minds of LVPD administration, the table above shows that standard operating procedures regarding priority response levels are adequate, as patrol officers are responding to priority calls for service faster than those assigned a lesser priority level. Further, the lack of over assignment regarding any of the four priority levels indicates adequate priority level assignment across call types. (5) Analysis of Patrol Resource Needs Analysis of the community-generated workload handled by patrol units is at the core of analyzing field staffing needs. Developing an understanding of where, when, and what 2 Response time is defined in this report as the duration between the call creation timestamp and the arrival time stamp for the first patrol officer on the scene. 204060

types of calls are received provides a detailed account of the service needs of the community, and by measuring the time used in responding and handling these calls, the staffing requirements for meeting the community’s service needs can then be determined. To provide a high level of service, it is not enough for patrol units to function as call responders. Instead, officers must have sufficient time outside of community-driven workload to proactively address public safety issues, conduct problem-oriented policing, and perform other self-directed engagement activities within the service environment. As a result, patrol staffing needs are calculated not only from the standpoint of the capacity of current resources to handle workloads, but also their ability to provide a certain level of service beyond responding to calls. With this focus in mind, the following sections examine process used by the project team to determine the patrol resource needs of the La Verne Police Department based on current workloads, staff availability, and service level objectives. (6) Overview of the Resource Needs Analysis An objective and accurate assessment of patrol staffing requires analysis of the following three factors: i. The number of community-generated workload hours handled by patrol. ii. The total number of hours that patrol is on-duty and able to handle those workloads, based on current staffing numbers and net availability factors (e.g., leave, administrative time, etc.). iii. The remaining amount of time that patrol has to be proactive, which can also be referred to as “uncommitted” time. This study defines the result of this process as, patrol proactivity, or the percentage of patrol officers’ time in which they are available and on-duty that is not spent responding to community-generated calls for service. This calculation can also be expressed visually as an equation: Total Net Available Hours – Total CFS Workload Hours Total Net Available Hours = % Proactivity The result of this equation is the overall level of proactivity in patrol, which in turn provides a model for the ability of patrol units to be proactive given current resources and

community-generated workloads. There are some qualifications to this, which include the following: • Optimal proactivity levels are a generalized target, and a single percentage should be applied to every agency. The actual needs of an individual police department vary based on a number of factors, including: – Other resources the police department has to proactively engage with the community and address issues, such as a dedicated proactive unit. – Community expectations and ability to support a certain level of service. – Whether fluctuations in the workload levels throughout the day require additional or fewer resources to be staffed to provide adequate coverage. • Sufficient proactivity at an overall level does not guarantee, based on workload patterns, and deployment schedules, that resources are sufficient throughout all times of the day and week. Overall, based upon the previous experience of project staff at MCG, a department the size of LVPD should generally target an overall proactivity level of around 50% as an effective benchmark of patrol coverage. (7) Patrol Unit Staffing and Net Availability The La Verne Police Department follows a 12-hour shift configuration that assigns personnel to four patrol teams on a fixed basis with fixed workdays. The following table outlines this schedule, showing the number of positions that are assigned to each shift team (including those on long-term and injury leave, but excluding vacancies): Patrol Shift Configuration (Current Staffing Levels)3 Shift Team Start End S M T W Th F Sa S M T W Th F Sa Ofc.

year that each officer is scheduled to work in a year (excluding overtime), a large percentage is not actually spent on-duty and available in the field. As a result, it is critical to understand the amount of time that officers are on leave – including vacation, sick, injury, military, or any other type of leave – as well as any hours dedicated to on-duty court or training time, and all time spent on administrative tasks such as attending shift briefings. The impact of each of these factors is determined through a combination of calculations made from LVPD data and estimates based on the experience of the project team, which are then subtracted from the base number of annual work hours per position. The result represents the total net available hours of patrol officers, or the time in which they are on-duty and available to complete workloads and other activities in the field. The table below outlines the calculation process in detail, outlining how each contributing factor is calculated: Factors Used to Calculate Patrol Net Availability Work Hours Per Year The total number of scheduled work hours for patrol officers, without factoring in leave, training, or anything else that takes officers away from normal on-duty work. This factor forms the base number from which other availability factors are subtracted from. Base number: 2,184 scheduled work hours per year Total Leave Hours (subtracted from total work hours per year) Includes all types of leave, as well as injuries and military leave – anything that would cause officers that are normally scheduled to work on a specific day to instead not be on duty. As a result, this category excludes on-duty training, administrative time, and on-duty court time. This value is added to the court, training, and administrative time calculations provided below. Calculated from LVPD data: 446 hours of non-patrol per year On-Duty Court Time (subtracted from total work hours per year) The total number of hours that each officer spends per year attending court while on duty, including transit time. Court attendance while on overtime is not included in the figure. Calculated from LVPD data: 12 hours of on-duty court time per year
Police Department Utilization and Staffing Study La Verne, CA
Matrix Consulting Group 16
On-Duty Training Time (subtracted from total work hours per year) The total number of hours spent per year in training that are completed while on-duty and not on overtime. Calculated from LVPD data: 136 hours of on-duty training time per year Administrative Time (subtracted from total work hours per year) The total number of hours per year spent completing administrative tasks while on-duty, including briefing, meal breaks, and various other activities. The number is calculated as an estimate by multiplying 90 minutes of time per shift times the number of shifts actually worked by officers in a year after factoring out the shifts that are not worked as a result of leave being taken. Estimated: 217 hours of administrative time per year Total Net Available Hours After subtracting the previous factors from the total work hours per year, the remaining hours comprise the total net available hours for officers – the time in which they are available to work after accounting for all leave, on-duty training, court, and administrative time. Net availability can also be expressed as a percentage of the base number of work hours per year. Calculated by subtracting the previously listed factors from the base number: 1,374 net available hours per Officer 1,030 net available hours per Corporal The following table summarizes this calculation process, displaying how each net availability factor contributes to the overall net availability of patrol officers:

(8) Overview of Call for Service Workload Factors The previous chapter of the report examined various trends in patrol workload, including variations by time of day and of week, common incident types, as well as a number of other methods. This section advances this analysis, detailing the full extent of the resource demands that these incidents create for responding patrol personnel. Each call for service represents a certain amount of workload, much of which is not captured within the handling time of the primary unit. Some of these factors can be calculated directly from data provided by the police department, while others must be estimated due to limitations in their measurability. The following table outlines the factors that must be considered in order to capture the full scope of community-generated workload, and provides an explanation of the process used to calculate each factor:
4 Net availability modifiers are utilized for LVPD patrol Corporals, as their net availability is not the same in the field compared to those at the Officer rank. As a result, they should not be considered to have the same availability as Officers. Utilizing a net availability modifier of 0.75x allows MCG project staff to account for the administrative and supervisor duties that come with being a Corporal and, as a result, disallow Corporals from responding to calls for service at the same rate as an Officer.

Factors Used to Calculate Total Patrol Workload
Number of Community-Generated Calls for Service Data obtained from an export of CAD data covering a period of an entire year that has been analyzed and filtered in order to determine the number and characteristics of all community-generated activity handled by patrol officers. The calculation process used to develop this number has been summarized in previous sections. Calculated from LVPD data: 9,878 community-generated calls for service Primary Unit Handling Time The time used by the primary unit to handle a community-generated call for service, including time spent traveling to the scene of the incident and the duration of on-scene time. For each incident, this number is calculated as the difference between ‘call cleared’ time stamp and the ‘unit dispatched’ time stamp. Note: This value also includes the average time in which an officer is deployed to medical institutions for any variety of reasons. In the experience of the project team, the average handling time is typically between 30 and 42 minutes in agencies where time spent writing reports and transporting/booking prisoners is not included within the recorded CAD data time stamps. The resulting handling time calculated from LVPD CAD data was 31.0 minutes per call for service. This average handling time is within the expected average handling time in the experience of MCG project staff. Calculated from LVPD data: 32.5 minutes of handling time per call for service
Police Department Utilization and Staffing Study La Verne, CA
Matrix Consulting Group 19
Number of Backup Unit Responses The total number of backup unit responses to community-generated calls for service. This number often varies based on the severity of the call, as well as the geographical density of the area being served. This number can also be expressed as the rate of backup unit responses to calls for service and is inclusive of any additional backup units beyond the first. Calculated from LVPD data: 0.93 backup units per call for service Backup Unit Handling Time (multiplied by the rate) The handling time for backup units responding to calls for service is calculated using the same process that was used for primary units, representing the time from the unit being dispatched to the unit clearing the call. The minutes of handling time calculated for LVPD patrol units was 20.0 minutes. This finding shows that backup units, when needed, are taking secondary and support roles to primary units, who take a longer time (31.0 minutes) on average. Calculated from LVPD data: 20.0 minutes of handling time per backup unit Number of Reports Written The total number of reports and other assignments relating to calls for service that have been completed by patrol units, estimated at one report written for every three calls for service. This includes any supporting work completed by backup units. In this case, the number has been calculated from LVPD data. Calculated from LVPD data: 0.29 reports written per call for service Report Writing Time (multiplied by the report writing rate) The average amount of time it takes to complete a report or other assignment in relation to a call for service. Without any data detailing this specifically, report writing time must be estimated based on the experience of the project team. It is assumed that 45 minutes are
Police Department Utilization and Staffing Study La Verne, CA
Matrix Consulting Group 20
spent per written report, including the time spent by backup units on supporting work assignments. Estimated: 45 minutes per report Number of Jail Transports/Bookings The number of arrests made that involve transport to and booking at a jail, assuming that this time is not captured within the call handling time. At 381 jail transports/bookings, this represents a rate of about 0.04 bookings per call for service. Calculated from LVPD data: 0.04 jail transports/bookings per call for service Time Per Jail Transport and Booking (multiplied by the jail transport/booking rate) Typical estimates of time per jail transport and booking in the experience of MCG project staff is 120 minutes. LVPD CAD data captures the time in which patrol units are dedicated toward prisoner transport processes. This time is reflected below. The time value of 144 minutes is slightly above expected times; however, acceptable in the experience of MCG project staff. Further, this result accounts for those bookings that are processed at distant locations, rather than locally to Pomona PD facilities. Estimated: 144 minutes per jail transport and booking Total Workload Per Call for Service The total time involved in handling a community-generated call for service, including the factors calculated for primary and backup unit handling time, reporting writing time, and jail transport/booking time. The product of multiplying this value by the calls for service total at each hour and day of the week is the number of hours of community-generated workload handled by patrol units – equating to approximately 11,065 total hours in 2022. Calculated from previously listed factors: 67.8 total minutes of workload per call for service Each of the factors summarized in this section contribute to the overall picture of patrol workload – the total number of hours required for patrol units to handle community-

Overall, each call for service represents an average workload of 69.3 minutes, including all time spent by the primary unit handling the call, the time spent by any backup units attached to the call, as well as any reports or other assignments completed in relation to the incident. (9) Calculation of Overall Patrol Proactivity Using the results of the analysis of both patrol workloads and staff availability, it is now possible to determine the remaining time in which patrol units can function proactively. The result can then function as a barometer from which to gauge the capacity of current resources to handle call workload demands, given objectives for meeting a certain service level. The following table shows the calculation process used by the project team to determine overall proactivity levels, representing the percentage of time that patrol officers have available outside of handling community-generated workloads:

64% 55% 57% 57% 59% 54% 55% 55% Overall, LVPD patrol units possess an adequate patrol proactivity rate (55%) to provide a high level of service to the community of La Verne. Proactivity levels exceed 40% for all four-hour time blocks with the exception of 1400 to 1800 – which is as to be expected as a result of the increased rate of calls for service during this time. While this proactivity level is equal to the recommended levels outlined previously (i.e., approximately 55% proactivity), any change in staffing levels from what is current will negatively influence officer safety and adequate geographic coverage of La Verne.

(10) Patrol Staffing Levels Required to Meet Service Level Objectives To determine staffing needs, it is also important to consider the number of vacancies that currently exist, as well as the rate of turnover. An agency will never be fully staffed, as there will always be vacancies occurring as a result of retirement, termination, and other factors. When these events occur, it takes a significant amount of time to recruit a new position, complete the hiring process, run an academy, and complete the FTO program before the individual becomes an on-duty officer. Given this consideration, agencies must always hire above the number needed to provide a targeted level of service. The amount of ‘buffer’ that an agency requires should be based on the historical rate of attrition within patrol. Attrition can take many forms – if it is assumed that the majority of vacancies are carried in patrol staffing, a vacancy at the officer level in any other area of the organization would consequently remove one officer from regular patrol duties. Likewise, promotions would have the same effect, in that they create an open position slot in patrol. Not included, however, are positions that become vacant while the individual is still in the academy or FTO program, and they are not counted in our analysis as being part of ‘actual’ patrol staffing. LVPD Sworn Personnel Turnover Rate Calculations Years 3 Total Sworn Separations 8 Average Annual Separations 2.67 LVPD Total Sworn FTE 43 Average % Turnover 6.2% Given these considerations, an additional 6.2% authorized (budgeted) positions should be added on top of the actual number currently filled (actual) positions in order to account for turnover while maintaining the ability to meet the targeted proactivity level. The resulting figure can then be rounded to the nearest whole number, assuming that positions cannot be added fractionally. It is worth noting that the number of officers needed without turnover is fractional, as it is an intermediate step in the calculation process. These calculations are shown in the following table:

Calculation of Patrol Unit Staffing Needs Total Workload Hours 11,323 Proactivity Target 55% Staffed Hours Needed = 25,162 Net Available Hours per Cpl (x7) - 7,210 Remaining Staffed Hours Needed = 17,952 Net Available Hours Per Officer ÷ 1,374 Turnover Factor + 6.2% Patrol Officer FTEs Needed = 14 Results indicate that, when accounting for the net available hours of the seven Corporals throughout LVPD patrol, a total of 14 FTE Officers are needed for LVPD patrol staffing. This is one additional staff than are currently deployed in LVPD patrol shifts. To staff LVPD patrol optimally with the recommended officers (14 FTE), MCG project staff developed the following shift staffing recommendations to do so. MCG project staff seek to 1) utilize the current shift length deployment that is currently utilized (i.e., 12-hour shifts), and 2) mirror the current shift schedule as closely as possible. The following shift schedule achieves both of these goals: Recommended Patrol Shift Configuration Shift Team Start End S M T W Th F Sa S M T W Th F Sa Ofc. Cpl.

This deployment strategy will provide a uniform number of officers to each of the day and night patrol shifts, respectively. As a result, proactivity levels throughout LVPD are still sufficient in the experience of MCG project staff, as shown in the table below:

60% 54% 55% 54% 55% 48% 48% 55% As shown above, the overall proactivity level of LVPD patrol operations is still 55% overall, exceeding the targeted patrol proactivity level. Further, proactivity levels are still extremely sufficient during late evening and early morning hours while maintaining adequate levels during daytime hours during which LVPD patrol faces increased calls for service levels. Recommendation: In the Operations Division, increase officer staffing by one (1) FTE for a total of 14 dedicated FTEs. (6) Patrol First-Line Supervision Ensuring that patrol has adequate supervision is critical to the effectiveness of patrol operations in the field. Staffing needs for patrol sergeants can be measured by span of control ratios, or the average number of officers assigned to sergeants. Many of the key drivers of sergeant workloads include report review, use of force and pursuit review, and performance evaluations, scale directly with the number of officers that are assigned to a sergeant. Consequently, the more officers that are assigned per sergeant, the less time that sergeants are able to be out in the field directly supervising them. In general, sergeants should supervise within a range of 6 – 9 officers each.
Police Department Utilization and Staffing Study La Verne, CA
Matrix Consulting Group 26
These targets should be adjusted based on the administrative duties that sergeants are required to handle. If sergeants handle more responsibilities with significant workloads than is typically the case, then the span of control that an agency should target for should be lower than normal, ensuring that sergeants supervise fewer officers. To supplement field-level supervision, LVPD also deploys personnel at the rank of corporal to do so. Corporals are intermediate-level field supervisors who are able to provide needed supervisory presence in the absence of the sergeant. Currently, LVPD is contractually obligated to staff a corporal at a 0.5 rate per officer (e.g., for every 10 officers, there must be 5 corporals). This ratio-based promotional schedule is not in accordance with best practices and should be re-evaluated in the future. 3. Self-Initiated Activity The analysis to this point has focused exclusively on the reactive portion of patrol workload, consisting of community-generated calls for service and related work. In the remaining available time, which is referred to in this report as proactive time, officers are able to proactively address public safety issues through targeted enforcement, saturation patrol, community engagement, problem-oriented policing projects, and other activity. Equally critical to the question of how much proactive time is available is how and whether it is used in this manner. There are some limitations on how the use of proactive time is measured, however. Not all proactive policing efforts are tracked in CAD data, such as some informal area checks, saturation patrol, miscellaneous field contacts, and other types of activity. However, many categories of officer-initiated activity are nonetheless recorded, such as traffic stops, predictive policing efforts, and follow-up investigations. Nonetheless, CAD data does provide for a significant portion of officer-initiated activity to be analyzed to examined for how utilized uncommitted time is for proactive policing. (1) Self-Initiated Activity by Hour and Weekday Self-initiated activity displays different hourly trends compared to community-generated calls for service, as illustrated in the following table:

As a result of the traffic related workload outlined in the previous charts and tables, the following table calculates the traffic unit staffing needs. Calculation of Traffic Unit Staffing Needs Total Traffic-Related Workload Hours 1,326 NA Hours per Officer ÷ 1,374 # Traffic FTE Needed = 1 When utilizing the same net available hours available per officer (1,374 hours), there is a need for 1 FTE traffic unit officer within La Verne’s Operation’s Division. Now that the need for the authorized FTE has been confirmed, the following section outlines the optimal scheduling and strategy for the traffic unit officer. To optimize the effectiveness of the traffic unit officer, they should be deployed at times that have the highest concentration of traffic-related incidents, as outlined above. While having one unit address all incidents is unrealistic, the traffic unit officer being present

Currently, the LVPD traffic unit is on duty and deployable for just over 35% of the current traffic-related workload, a percentage that is acceptable in the experience of MCG project staff for a single FTE traffic unit. For further context, the current deployment was compared to other potential 4/10-hour schedule blocks to ensure optimal deployment. Findings, as shown below, provide support for the maintenance of the current deployment strategy: Traffic Unit Scheduling Options and Workload Percentage Option Days Start End Workload % Current Mon - Th 0700 1700 35.1% Option 1 Tu - Fri 0600 1600 33.6% Option 2 Tu - Fri 1200 2200 34.0% Option 3 Wed - Sat 1200 2200 32.8% All options are presented in a 4/10-hour deployment strategy and as previously mentioned, the current deployment’s 35.1% workload percentage is the highest of all scheduling options. As a result, the current staffing and scheduling deployment of the LVPD traffic unit should be maintained moving forward. (3) Reserve Officers Currently, there are three reserve officers within the Operations Division at LVPD. These reserve officers are POST certified and are tasked with a variety of established law enforcement-related activities. As such, these staff members are valuable resources to provide support in a variety of fashions and should be maintained within the organization moving forward. (4) Community Services Unit5 The LVPD Community Services Unit (see footnote below) encompasses a single FTE Community Services Officer (now ‘Supervisor’). This is a professional position that is tasked with a variety of key functions within the organization, including, but not limited to: • Website content management, • Social media management, • PIO responsibilities, 5 The community services unit has since been effectively disbanded as a result of the Community Services Officer (Supervisor), and their associated functions, being absorbed by the city government. As a result, the recommendations below will reflect this adaptation.

• All event coordination (e.g., scheduling, staffing, and vendor relations), and • Neighborhood watch coordination. In an attempt to best organize the needs of LVPD to serve the La Verne community, MCG project staff recommends the implementation of a second FTE within the Community Services Unit. The implementation of this personnel will facilitate strategic and operational alignment within the Unit, while allowing LVPD to handle the growing need for community-related services within the community. The additional FTE will have a direct impact on the community relations of the department, as well as facilitating the ability to handle the vast administrative responsibilities of the unit. The following graphic depicts the organization of the proposed unit:
This organizational structure will allow the current CSO to focus on community-related events, logistics, outreach groups, etc., while introducing support targeted towards public outreach, public information, website configuration and updating, and LVPD social media efforts. Contemporary American policing efforts highlight the effectiveness of these personnel and, if utilized correctly, can revolutionize the transparency and communication between a community and its police department. Recommendations: Replace the recently re-organized Community Service Officer (CSO) position to maintain an FTE dedicated solely to LVPD purposes. Create a 1 FTE Public Information Officer (PIO) position to serve alongside the Community Services Officer within the Community Services Unit.

(5) Homeless Outreach Team/Behavioral Health Unit Currently, the Homeless Outreach Team at LVPD is a collateral duty of one Operations Division Sergeant and staffed on a volunteer basis by LVPD Officers. As a result of the present need for homelessness and behavioral health outreach throughout the La Verne community, in conjunction with the addition of a Metro Rail stop within the La Verne community6, there is a clear need for increased support in these areas. MCG project staff strongly advocates for co-responder models within police agencies where these needs are apparent, and this need in clear within the La Verne community. In order to outline this need, MCG project staff have utilized 2022 CAD data to analyze Behavioral Health and Homelessness calls for service, an analytical practice aimed at evaluating a staffed Homeless Outreach Team/Behavioral Health Unit (HOT/BHU). The following table outlines these service-oriented calls for service and their associated handling times and temporal prevalence: Homeless Outreach Team/Behavioral Health Unit Most Common CFS Incident Type # CFS HT 12a 4a 8a 12p 4p 8p CODE H SUBJ 2,4827 16.9

While analytics of current needs justify the need for 3 FTE to be assigned to an HOT/BHU unit, the extensive ridealongs and interviews that have been conducted by MCG project staff, along with the imminent changes to the La Verne community (e.g., Metro Rail), have justified the recommendation of an additional FTE to utilize for these outreach practices. Further, the additional FTE provides LVPD administration the ability to deploy a traditional co-responder model of 2 FTE LVPD officers with a representative from Tri-City Mental Health Services (a relationship that is currently utilized by LVPD).

As a result, two shift schedules should be utilized to spread HOT/BHU units across all seven days of the week and at priority times relating to these calls for service types. The table below provides context to the bolded outlines provided above relating to deployment strategy:

Tri-City Days Start End Team 1 2 1 Sun - Wed 0800 1800 Team 2 2 1 Wed - Sat 0800 1800 A schedule that utilizes HOT/BHU units at these times will facilitate one of these officers on duty for a majority (57%) of these calls for service. Recommendations: Create a Homeless Outreach / Behavioral Health Unit staffed with 4 FTE Officers to respond to specialized calls for service. Deploy HOT/BHU units in a two-team 4/10-hour schedule to span coverage during crucial times of day and all seven days of the week. Establishing an Administrative Sergeant Throughout the extensive work that MCG project staff has done alongside LVPD personnel and administration throughout the scope of work, several topics of strain throughout the organization have become apparent, specifically: • The increased strain of collateral duties on behalf of front-line and mid-level supervisory personnel, • A need for increased personnel to provide an adequate number of resources towards the behavioral health and unhoused populations within La Verne, and • The need to properly supervise and utilize support units such as the Traffic Unit, Reserve Officers, Community Services Unit, and the Homeless Outreach/Behavioral Health practices of LVPD. For further context regarding collateral responsibilities, after an analysis of current collateral duty assignments, MCG project staff have found that LVPD Lieutenants are responsible for between 10 to 19 collateral assignments, while LVPD Sergeants are responsible for between 5 and 10 collateral assignments. While collateral duties are an integral part of staffing a police organization, these ratios are high in the experience of MCG project staff and are inhibiting the functionality of the organization. In order to address these concerns, MCG project staff recommends the institution of an administrative sergeant position within the organizational structure of the Operations Division at LVPD. The addition of this FTE will allow LVPD administration to spread collateral responsibilities to another mid-level supervisor, as well as provide reporting

spans of control for a newly formed, permanent, HOT/BHU Unit. As a result, the following organizational structure should be established: Proposed LVPD Operations Division Organizational Chart In establishing this organizational chart, spans of control (throughout personnel and collateral duties) will be maintained at adequate levels in the experience of MCG project staff, as well as outlining specific emphases regarding traffic enforcement, community services, and homeless outreach – three topics that previous sections have outlined the need for within LVPD. Recommendations: Create an Administrative Sergeant position to report directly to the Operations Division Captain. Utilize the Administrative Sergeant position to oversee specialized functions within the Operations Division, including the Traffic Unit, Reserve Officers, Community Services, and the newly formed HOT/BHU Team.

4. Support Services Division The Support Services Division is managed by a Lieutenant and is comprised of the Investigations Section, Information Systems Section, Communications Section, Records Section, Code Enforcement, and Volunteers Unit. (1) Investigations Section Criminal Investigations is led by a sergeant and is comprised of investigation, School Resource Officer, Evidence Technician, and 1 Secretary. There is a lieutenant who is detached to LA Interagency Metropolitan Apprehension Crime Task Force (LA Impact), but not does not work La Verne investigations cases or provide support to the Bureau. 1. Investigations Workload Analysis LPD provided the project team with a spreadsheet from their records management system (RMS) database that is used for tracking investigative caseloads for 2022. The data was used to conduct the analysis. (1) Calculation of Detective Net Availability Before determining availability and staffing needs, it is important to first review the number of net available hours detectives are available to conduct investigations. To conduct this analysis, it is critical to understand the amount of time that detectives are on leave – including vacation, sick, injury, military, or any other type of leave – as well as hours dedicated to on-duty court or training time, and time spent on administrative tasks. The impact of each of these factors is determined through a combination of calculations made from LPD data and estimates based on the experience of the project team, which are then subtracted from the base number of annual work hours per position. The result represents the total net available hours of detectives and other positions, or the time in which they are on-duty and available to complete workloads and other activities in the field. Net availability for detectives is different from patrol, in part because of court and administrative responsibilities. Workloads such as case plans, search warrant execution, and so forth that do not fit directly into case investigative hours are included within an estimated administrative time figure. The table below outlines this process in detail, outlining how each contributing factor is calculated:
Police Department Utilization and Staffing Study La Verne, CA
Matrix Consulting Group 41
Factors Used to Calculate Detective Net Availability Work Hours Per Year The total number of scheduled work hours for detectives, without factoring in leave, training, or anything else that takes detectives away from normal on-duty work. This factor forms the base number from which other availability factors are subtracted from. Base number: 2,080 scheduled work hours per year Total Leave Hours (subtracted from total work hours per year) Includes all types of leave, including injuries and military leave, FMLA – anything that would cause detectives that are normally scheduled to work on a specific day to instead not be on duty. As a result, this category excludes on-duty training, administrative time, and on-duty court time. From LPD Data: 446 hours of leave per year On-Duty Training Time (subtracted from total work hours per year) The average total number of hours spent per year in training that are completed while on-duty and not on overtime. While this specific training time is not capture by LVPD administration, project staff utilized a normative value of 40 hours per year based on their experience with agencies similar to that of LVPD. Estimated: 40 hours per year On-Duty Court Time (subtracted from total work hours per year) The total number of hours that each detective spends per year attending court while on duty, including transit time. Court attendance while on overtime is not included in the figure. Without any data recording on-duty court time specifically for detectives, the number of hours is estimated based on the experience of the project team. Estimated: 120 hours of on-duty court time per year
Police Department Utilization and Staffing Study La Verne, CA
Matrix Consulting Group 42
Administrative Time (subtracted from net available hours after leave, court and training hours deducted) The total number of hours per year spent completing administrative tasks while on-duty, including staff meetings, returning phone calls, emails, search warrant preparation and planning and various other activities including some operations that may not be directly captured in the case hours calculations. The number is calculated as an estimated 20% of net work hours after other deductions. Estimated: 297 hours of administrative time per year Total Net Available Hours After subtracting the previous factors from the total work hours per year, the remaining hours comprise the total net available hours for detectives – the time in which they are available to work after accounting for all leave, on-duty training, court, and administrative time. Net availability can also be expressed as a percentage of the base number of work hours per year. Calculated by subtracting the previously listed factors from the base number: 1,217 net available hours per detective The following table summarizes this calculation process, displaying how each net availability factor contributes to the overall net availability of detectives: Calculation of Detective Net Availability Base Annual Work Hours 2,080
Total Leave Hours – 446 On-Duty Training Hours – 40 On-Duty Court Time Hours – 120 Administrative Hours – 297 Net Available Hours Per Detective = 1,177
Overall, the detective has approximately 1,177 net available hours per year, representing the total time in which they are able to conduct investigations. These hours will be used in the following sections to analyze detective caseloads.
Police Department Utilization and Staffing Study La Verne, CA
Matrix Consulting Group 43
(2) Caseload Hours Not all investigative cases require the same number of investigative hours, for example a homicide investigation requires more investigative time (and resources) than a burglary. To factor for this, Matrix Consulting Group developed several case type investigative caseload work hours. The average case hours were developed through dozens of studies and interviews with detectives working on each case type. The following case type caseload workload hours were used to calculate staff resource needs: (2.1) Homicide Homicide cases are among the most complex and time-consuming investigations that are conducted. These cases receive a high level of scrutiny and therefore almost all investigative techniques are used. Additionally, because of their complexity they are typically handled by a group of detectives and additional resources are often used. The following table shows a breakdown of approximate caseload hours for a homicide case or officer involved shooting: Task Processes Involved Approximate Time % of Time Completed DNA Evidence to Crime Lab 4 hours 100% Crime Scene Material Evidence to Property / Evidence 4 hours 100% Cell Phones Cell Phone Downloads, with some taking longer than others. 30 hours 100% Video Review of video recovered from scene and BWC 40 hours 100% Social Media/Electronic Records/Physical location Warrants/Subpoenas/Review of Evidence Obtained. 60 hours 100% Location Data Warrants/Subpoenas/Review of Evidence Obtained. 40 hours 100% Surveillance Surveillance, including locating suspect and report writing. 10 hours 100% Postmortem Exam Autopsy performed by ME (Detectives observe and consult) 6 hours 100% Victim / Witness Interview(s) Interview(s), including report writing. 40 hours 100%

Included in these hours is the assumption that detectives will be conducting RMS searches, social media searches, checking association files, receiving informant information and other investigative techniques (trackers, cell tower data, etc.), if available. It also assumed that detectives work as a team and not all investigative hours will be worked by a single detective (These are hours for lead detective only). Many cases will not require the number of hours listed, but some cases may require significantly more. Using the case time estimates and the percentage of the time that each subtask is completed, this translates to approximately 276 hours allotted per case. Additionally, on average most departments assign a team of other detectives to assist during the early stages of a homicide investigation which represents approximately 40 hours per investigator assigned. (2.2) Person Crimes Person crimes cases are treated more seriously by the judicial system and tend to have more witnesses and evidence requiring more time in interviews and recovering and processing evidence than property crimes. Approximate case hours were developed through numerous interviews with detectives, and are summarized in the following table:

Based on the percentage for how often each subtask is completed, each solvable case equates to an average of approximately 22.6 hours. (2.3) Sexual Assault Sexual assault and crimes against children are even more complex cases that are treated more seriously by the judicial system; they tend to have less witnesses, thus requiring more time in interviews and recovery and processing of evidence than other person crimes. The following chart describes approximate investigative times for sex crimes:
Processes Involved Approximate Time % of Time Completed DNA Evidence to crime lab, includes submission and report. 2 hours 50% Crime Scene Material Evidence to property, inspection, and report writing. 2 hours 50% Cell Phones Cell phone downloads, with some taking longer than others. 4 hours 40% Video Review of video recovered from scene and BWC, report writing. 4 hours 50% Social Media/ Elec.

Not every case will have the same amount of evidence or interviews conducted. Included in these hours is the assumption that detectives will be conducting RMS searches, checking association files, receiving informant information and other investigative techniques (trackers, cell tower data, etc.), if available. Many cases will not require the number of hours listed, but some cases may require significantly more. Using the above work hour estimates and the percentage of the time that each subtask is completed, this translates to approximately 26.6 hours per solvable case. (2.4) Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Internet Crimes Against Children are complex investigative cases which rely heavily on digital forensic evidence that requires unique processes. These cases are treated more seriously by the judicial system; they tend to have less witnesses, thus requiring more time in interviews, search warrants to be written and recovery and processing of evidence than other crimes. The chart below shows approximate investigative time for ICAC investigations:
Processes Involved Approximate Time % of Time Completed Cell Phones Cell phone downloads, with some taking longer than others. 4 hours 30% Video Review of video recovered from scene and BWC, report writing. 4 hours 30% Social Media/ Elec.

(2.6) Financial Crimes Financial crimes are exceedingly difficult cases to pursue and typically take longer to investigate as much of the evidence has to be subpoenaed or obtained with a search warrant. In addition, much of the evidence belongs to financial institutions and detectives must wait for them to comply with legal requests for information before they can proceed, and this can take weeks to months depending on the type and amount of data requested. They also tend to have much lower solvability rates (approximately 50% less solvable than person crimes). These types of cases typically do not require a detective to respond to a scene and are often handled as follow up a day or more after the occurrence. The following chart details processes and times associated with financial crimes:
Processes Involved Approximate Time % of Time Completed Document / Digital Evidence Review/ recover financial data, files, and write reports. 12 hours 100% Video Review of video recovered from scene and BWC, report writing. 4 hours 10% Social Media/ Elec.

Using the above work hour estimates and the percentage of the time that each subtask is completed, this translates to approximately 29.6 hours per solvable case. (2.7) Domestic Assault Domestic Assault cases generally require less investigative time because the victim and suspect are known. However, they do require some investigation for successful prosecution. The following chart describes approximate investigative times::
Processes Involved Approximate Time % of Time Completed DNA Evidence to crime lab, includes submission and report. 2 hours 20% Crime Scene Material Evidence to Property / Evidence, inspection, and report writing. 2 hours 10% Cell Phones Cell phone downloads, with some taking longer than others. 4 hours 50% Video Review of video recovered from scene and BWC, report writing. 2 hours 100% Social Media/ Elec.

in these hours is the assumption that detectives will be conducting RMS searches, checking association files, receiving informant information and other investigative techniques (trackers, cell tower data, etc.), if available. Many cases will not require the number of hours listed, but some cases may require significantly more. Using the above work hour estimates and the percentage of the time that each subtask is completed, this translates to approximately 8.7 hours per solvable case. (2.8) Missing / Runaway Missing / Runaway cases typically involve interviewing reporting party, last person to have seen them, checking last known locations, close friends and relatives and entering information into teletype. Depending on leads and investigation required by law or agency policy these cases range from 2 to 4 hours with an average of about 3 hours. (2.9) General Crimes / Officer Assist General crimes / officer assists can vary greatly depending on the type of crime or assistance needed. These cases are typically lower-level crimes where some follow up is needed or an officer needs assistance with a case they are working. This can include assisting with a cell phone download, social media, or open sources search, warrant preparation or other investigative techniques. Depending on the type of crime and investigative need these cases take between 4 and 8 hours with an average of 6 hours. (2.10) Drug Crimes / Officer Assist Drug crimes / officer assists can vary greatly depending on the type of assistance needed. These cases are typically lower-level crimes where some follow up is needed or an officer needs assistance with a case they are working. This can include assisting with a cell phone download, social media, or open sources search, warrant preparation or other investigative techniques. Depending on the type of crime and investigative need these cases take between 4 and 8 hours with an average of 6 hours. (2.11) Inactive / Suspended Case / Information / Referral Detectives are assigned cases that become inactive or suspended due to no additional leads, lack of victim cooperation or no additional evidence. Though the case does not end up with a prosecutable case, it does require the detective to review the case and to attempt contact with the victim(s) or witnesses. Other cases are for information only or result in a referral to another agency. Depending on the type of crime and investigative need these cases take between 1 and 3 hours with an average of 2 hours.

(3) Caseload Workload Hours Analysis To determine the caseload the project team reviewed the total number of assigned cases and then sorted the cases by case type. Though investigations is broken into person crimes and property crimes there is some cross over, so the caseload analysis was done for the entire unit. Using the caseload hours by case type the total caseloads per work unit were then calculated. (3.1) Caseload The following table details the 2022 caseload with associated work hours: 2022 Caseload # Investigative Hours Per Total Hours APS 10 22.6 226 DCFS 38 22.6 858.8 DEATH 7 22.6 158.2 DUI 29 6 174 DV 5 8.7 43.5 Fraud 12 29.6 355.2 Gen 59 6 354 Hit and Run 9 6 54 ICAC 1 44.4 44.4 MEN 25 6 150 MPR 27 6 162 NARC 50 6 300 PERS 24 22.6 542.4 Prop 134 16.9 2264.6 Reviewed / Unfounded /Inactive 499 2 998 Sex Offense 25 26.6 665 Total 954 7350.1 *Not included in caseload count total. As the table above indicates, the caseload assigned represents approximately 7,350 hours. (3.2) Summary of Workload Hours for the Investigations There are a total of 4 authorized detective positions assigned to work cases. Using the previous calculation of net available caseload hours and total 2022 caseload the number of detectives needed to investigate the caseload can be determined:

6.24 As the chart indicates the number of detectives recommended to work the assigned caseload hours assigned is 6.24 and there are a total of 4 detectives currently authorized. To properly investigate the assigned caseload a total of 6 detective positions should be authorized. Recommendation: Increase staffing in investigations by 2 detectives and 1 Lieutenant for a total of 1 sergeant and 6 detectives assigned. (3.3) School Resource Officer The youth services unit consists of 1 officer. The officer responds to calls for service at schools, provides campus security, and promotes school safety. The officer is assigned to Bonita High School and Ramona Middle School. The National Association of School Resource Officers recommends 1 SRO per 1,000 students depending on the number of buildings, area covered and other factors. The approximate student population covered by the SRO is approximately 3,303. With 1 SRO the ration is approximately 3,303 students per officer without including elementary schools which is below the recommended ratio as shown in the following chart: Student Population / SROs # Bonita High School 1,923 Ramona Middle School 1,380 Total 3,303 ÷ Recommended 1 SRO per 1,000 pop. 1,000 Total 3.3 As the chart indicates a student population of 3,303 would require 3.3 SROs to meet the recommended ratio. The current authorized ratio is less than the recommended range and should be reduced so that the officers can better handle the workload and provide additional coverage.
