Item No. 4.4
City of Laguna Hills
City Council / Planning Agency
Staff Report
Date: March 25, 2025
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Eric Hendrickson, Finance Director
Issue: Treasurer's Investment Report for February 2025
Recommendation: That the City Council receive and file the Treasurer's Investment Report for the month of February 2025.

Background:

The Treasurer’s Investment Report for the month of February 2025 is submitted herewith. The City’s total portfolio as of February 28, 2025, was $32,771,936. The pooled cash portfolio managed by the City Treasurer consisted of cash on hand, demand deposits, State Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and Investment Trust of California (CalTRUST) investments and totaled $31,884,111. Restricted cash and investments totaled $887,824, and is mainly composed of reserve funds for the 2010 bond issuance.

Interest income for the month of February was $106,275. FY2024/2025 year-to-date pooled cash interest earnings of $980,520 are 104% of the annual budget of $942,050.

The average yield on the City’s total portfolio for the month of February was 4.33%, compared to the prior month of 4.33%. This past year, the Federal Reserve took actions to lower interest rates to combat inflation. The steady yield in February reflects the leveling off of these rate cuts. The City has budgeted conservatively in its expectation of interest earnings, and has built slight rate reductions into the revenue forecast.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to receive and file this report.

Had the Adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, your 7-day SEC yield would have been 4.19%. Average annual total returns reflect reinvested distributions, net of expenses for the periods. The 7-day SEC yield more closely reflects the current earnings of the fund than the total returns shown. 30-day simple and simple monthly yield are the sum of
the distribution rates for the number of days in the yield period annualized by 365 and divided by net asset value (NAV).

This does not constitute a recommendation of any
investment strategy or product for a particular investor. Investors should consult a financial professional before making any investment decisions.

Background:

State law authorizes cities to destroy records when the records are no longer required, the records have been retained for the time periods required by law, the City Council adopts a Resolution authorizing the destruction, and the City Attorney provides written consent to the destruction (Government Code § 34090). On February 11, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-02-11-1, which amended and restated the City’s Record Retention Schedule. Records designated for disposal, as set forth in Exhibit “A” to the proposed Resolution attached hereto, exclude any of the following types of records, per Government Code Section 34090: (a) records affecting the title to real property or liens thereon; (b) court records; (c) records required to be kept by statute; (d) records less than two years old; and (e) the minutes, ordinances, or resolutions of the legislative body or of a city board or commission.

City staff has identified records for disposal that have been retained for the time periods set forth in the City’s Record Retention Schedule and are no longer required for City business. The Department Heads, City Manager, City Attorney, and City Clerk have verified that these records have been retained for the time periods set forth in the City’s Record Retention Schedule and meet the requirements for disposal. Authority to dispose of these records is required as provided for by Government Code § 34090.

Item No. 4.5
Fiscal Impact:

Item No. 4.6
City of Laguna Hills
City Council / Planning Agency
Staff Report
Date: March 25, 2025
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Jarad Hildenbrand, City Manager
Issue: AB448 Letter of Support
Recommendation: That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to send a letter of support for Assembly Bill 448 (AB 448) seeking to enhance the quality of care and services provided in Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Programs (STRTPs).

Background:

Assembly Bill 448 (AB 448) introduces critical improvements to STRTPs by ensuring family involvement, preserving the rights of children and youth to confidential communication, and mandating access to appropriate footwear. These measures address key concerns regarding the well-being, safety, and quality of care for children and youth in STRTPs. Supporting this legislation aligns with the City's commitment to the welfare of vulnerable populations.

The Association of California Cities – Orange County (ACC-OC) has expressed its support for AB 448. However, the League of California Cities position is to ‘watch’ on the bill.

STRTPs serve vulnerable children and youth with complex emotional and behavioral needs who require therapeutic residential care. These facilities play a vital role in California’s child welfare system, but concerns have been raised about the adequacy of communication, family involvement, and basic care provisions within STRTPs.

AB 448 proposes the following key enhancements:
• In-State Residency Requirement: Ensures that at least one parent or legal guardian resides at a single physical address within California during the child’s

Item No. 4.6
or youth’s treatment, strengthening family engagement and support. • Confidential Communication Rights: Guarantees that children and youth in STRTPs have the right to make confidential telephone calls to their parents or legal guardians at any time, ensuring continuous family connections. • Access to Appropriate Footwear: Requires STRTPs to provide residents with suitable footwear for outdoor use at all times, addressing a basic need that impacts safety and well-being.

Discussion:

AB 448 addresses fundamental gaps in STRTPs by improving family involvement, communication access, and basic living conditions for children and youth. The proposed legislation will enhance the quality of care in these facilities, ensuring they meet a standard of support that aligns with best practices for child welfare.

By supporting AB 448, the City of Laguna Hills demonstrates its commitment to advocating for the well-being of vulnerable youth in therapeutic residential programs.

The proposed measures in this bill will contribute to creating a more supportive, safe, and nurturing environment for children in need of specialized care.

The Association of California Cities – Orange County (ACC-OC) has expressed its support for AB 448, recognizing its importance in improving STRTPs. However, the League of California Cities position is to ‘watch’ on the bill. Staff will continue to monitor any updates regarding endorsements from other municipal organizations.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the City of Laguna Hills in supporting AB 448.

CHAPTER
An act to amend Sections 309, 319, 358.1, 366, 366.1, and 628 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to juveniles. legislative counsel’s digest
AB 448, Juan Carrillo. Juveniles: relative placement: family finding.
(1)  Existing law requires a county social worker to investigate the circumstances of each child taken into temporary custody by a peace officer under specified circumstances. Existing law requires the social worker to conduct an investigation, within 30 days of the child’s removal, to identify and locate adult relatives of the child, as specified, and to provide them with a notification that the child has been removed from the custody of the child’s parents, guardians, or Indian custodian, and an explanation of the various options to participate in the care and placement of the child.

This bill would require the social worker to conduct the investigation to identify and locate adult relatives, immediately, and no later than 30 days, after the child has been taken into temporary custody.
(2)  Existing law establishes procedures for an initial petition hearing by the juvenile court if a child is being taken into temporary custody. Existing law requires a social worker to report to the court the reasons the child was removed from the parent’s, guardian’s, or Indian custodian’s physical custody and the need, if any, for continued detention, available services, and if there are any relatives who are willing and able to take temporary physical custody of the child.

This bill would additionally require the social worker to report to the court what efforts, and in the case of an Indian child, the active efforts, as defined, and findings the social worker has made to locate any relatives or kin who could provide family support or possible placement of the child or nonminor dependent and the names of those relatives or kin.
(3)  Existing law provides that a child may be adjudged to be a dependent of the juvenile court because of abuse or neglect, and that after this determination, the court is required to hear evidence 95 AB 448 — 2 —

on the question of the proper disposition to be made of the child.

Existing law requires that before determining the appropriate disposition, the court receive in evidence, among other things, the social study of the child made by the social worker and evaluation made by a child advocate appointed by the court. Existing law further prescribes the information that is required to be included in that social study or evaluation, including the appropriateness of any relative placement. Existing law requires the court to review the status of every dependent child in foster care no less frequently than once every 6 months and requires a supplemental report to be filed as part of that review.

This bill would additionally require the social study, and any supplemental report, to include the efforts, and in the case of an Indian child, the active efforts, as defined, and findings that the social worker has made to locate any relatives or kin who could provide family support or possible placement of the child or nonminor dependent and the name of those relatives or kin. The bill would also require the court, in conducting the periodic status review, to additionally determine whether the social worker has continued efforts, and in the case of an Indian child, the active efforts, as defined, to locate any relatives or kin who could provide family support or possible placement of the child and the names of those relatives or kin.
(4)  Existing law requires a probation officer, upon delivery of a minor who has been taken into temporary custody, to immediately investigate the circumstances of the minor and the facts surrounding the minor being taken into custody and to immediately release the minor to the custody of their parent, legal guardian, or responsible relative, including a grandparent, adult sibling, or other relative, unless evidence before the court demonstrates that continuance in the home is contrary to the child’s welfare, as specified.

This bill would additionally require that the probation officer, if it is known or there is reason to know the child is an Indian child, to search additionally for an extended family member, as defined, to whom the child may be released. The bill would define for the purpose of these provisions “sibling” as a person related to the child by blood, adoption, or affinity through common legal or biological parent. The bill would require the probation officer to document their efforts, and in the case of an Indian child, the active 95 — 3 — AB 448

efforts, as defined, to locate any relatives or kin who could provide family support or possible placement for the child or nonminor dependent and the names of those relatives or kin.
(5)  By imposing additional duties on county officials, the bill would impose a state-mandate local program.
(6)  This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 319 of the Welfare and Institutions Code proposed by AB 81 and SB 578 to be operative only if this bill and AB 81, this bill and SB 578, or all 3 bills are enacted and this bill is enacted last. (7)  The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1. Section 309 of the Welfare and Institutions Code is amended to read:
309. (a)  Upon delivery to the social worker of a child who has been taken into temporary custody under this article, the social worker shall immediately investigate the circumstances of the child and the facts surrounding the child’s being taken into custody and attempt to maintain the child with the child’s family through the provision of services. The social worker shall immediately release the child to the custody of the child’s parent, guardian, Indian custodian, or relative, regardless of the parent’s, guardian’s, Indian custodian’s, or relative’s immigration status, unless one or more of the following conditions exist:
(1)  The child has no parent, guardian, Indian custodian, or relative willing to provide care for the child.
(2)  Continued detention of the child is a matter of immediate and urgent necessity for the protection of the child and there are 95 AB 448 — 4 —

no reasonable means by which the child can be protected in their home or the home of a relative.
(3)  If it is known or there is reason to know the child is an Indian child, the child has been physically removed from the custody of a parent or parents or an Indian custodian, continued detention of the child continues to be necessary to prevent imminent physical damage or harm to the child, and there are no reasonable means by which the child can be protected if maintained in the physical custody of their parent or parents or Indian custodian. (4)  There is substantial evidence that a parent, guardian, or Indian custodian of the child is likely to flee the jurisdiction of the court, and, in the case of an Indian child, fleeing the jurisdiction will place the child at risk of imminent physical damage or harm. (5)  The child has left a placement in which the child was placed by the juvenile court.
(6)  The parent or other person having lawful custody of the child voluntarily surrendered physical custody of the child pursuant to Section 1255.7 of the Health and Safety Code and did not reclaim the child within the 14-day period specified in subdivision (g) of that section.
(b)  In any case in which there is reasonable cause for believing that a child who is under the care of a physician and surgeon or a hospital, clinic, or other medical facility, cannot be immediately moved, and is a person described in Section 300, the child shall be deemed to have been taken into temporary custody and delivered to the social worker for the purposes of this chapter while the child is at the office of the physician and surgeon or the medical facility. (c)  If the child is not released to their parent or guardian, the child shall be deemed detained for purposes of this chapter. (d)  (1)  If a relative, as defined in Section 319, an extended family member of an Indian child, as defined in Section 224.1 and Section 1903 of the federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (25 U.S.C. Sec. 1901 et seq.), or a nonrelative extended family member, as defined in Section 362.7, is available and requests emergency placement of the child pending the detention hearing, or after the detention hearing and pending the dispositional hearing conducted pursuant to Section 358, the county welfare department shall initiate an assessment of the relative’s or nonrelative extended family member’s suitability for emergency placement pursuant to Section 361.4.
95 — 5 — AB 448

(2)  Upon completion of the assessment pursuant to Section 361.4, the child may be placed in the home on an emergency basis.

Following the emergency placement of the child, the county welfare department shall evaluate and approve or deny the home pursuant to Section 16519.5. If the home in which the Indian child is placed is licensed or approved by the child’s tribe, the provisions of Section 16519.5 do not apply for further approval. The county shall require the relative or nonrelative extended family member to submit an application for approval as a resource family and initiate the home environment assessment no later than five business days after the placement.
(3)  If the sole issue preventing an emergency placement of a child with a relative or nonrelative extended family member is a lack of resources, including, but not limited to, physical items such as cribs and car seats, the agency shall use reasonable efforts to assist the relative or nonrelative extended family member in obtaining the necessary items within existing available resources.

The department shall work with counties and stakeholders to issue guidance regarding reasonable efforts requirements.
(e)  (1)  If the child is removed, the social worker shall immediately conduct, but no later than 30 days after the child has been removed, an investigation in order to identify and locate all grandparents, parents of a sibling of the child, if the parent has legal custody of the sibling, adult siblings, other adult relatives of the child, as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (h) of Section 319, including any other adult relatives suggested by the parents, and, if it is known or there is reason to know the child is an Indian child, any extended family members, as defined in Section 224.1 and Section 1903 of the federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (25 U.S.C. Sec. 1901 et seq.). As used in this section, “sibling” means a person related to the identified child by blood, adoption, or affinity through a common legal or biological parent. The social worker shall provide to all adult relatives who are located, except when that relative’s history of family or domestic violence makes notification inappropriate, within 30 days of removal of the child, written notification and shall also, whenever appropriate, provide oral notification, in person or by telephone, of all the following information:
(A)  The child has been removed from the custody of their parent or parents, guardian or guardians, or Indian custodian. 95 AB 448 — 6 —

(B)  An explanation of the various options to participate in the care and placement of the child and support for the child’s family, including any options that may be lost by failing to respond. The notice shall provide information about providing care for the child while the family receives reunification services with the goal of returning the child to the parent or guardian, how to become a resource family, and additional services and support that are available in out-of-home placements, and, if it is known or there is reason to know the child is an Indian child, the option of obtaining approval for placement through the tribe’s license or approval procedure. The notice shall also include information regarding the Kin-GAP Program (Article 4.5 (commencing with Section 11360) of Chapter 2 of Part 3 of Division 9), the CalWORKs program for approved relative caregivers (Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 11200) of Part 3 of Division 9), adoption, and adoption assistance (Chapter 2.1 (commencing with Section 16115) of Part 4 of Division 9), as well as other options for contact with the child, including, but not limited to, visitation.

The State Department of Social Services, in consultation with the County Welfare Directors Association of California and other interested stakeholders, shall develop the written notice. (2)  The social worker shall also provide the adult relatives notified pursuant to paragraph (1) with a relative information form to provide information to the social worker and the court regarding the needs of the child. The form shall include a provision whereby the relative may request the permission of the court to address the court, if the relative so chooses. The Judicial Council, in consultation with the State Department of Social Services and the County Welfare Directors Association of California, shall develop the form.
(3)  (A)  The social worker shall use due diligence in
investigating the names and locations of the relatives, as well as any parent and alleged parent, pursuant to paragraph (1), including, but not limited to, asking the child in an age-appropriate manner about any parent, alleged parent, and relatives important to the child, consistent with the child’s best interest, and obtaining information regarding the location of the child’s parents, alleged parents, and adult relatives. Each county welfare department shall do both of the following:
95 — 7 — AB 448

(i)  Create and make public a procedure by which a parent and relatives of a child who has been removed from their parents or guardians may identify themselves to the county welfare department and the county welfare department shall provide parents and relatives with the notices required by paragraphs (1) and (2). (ii)  Notify the State Department of Social Services, on or before January 1, 2024, in an email or other correspondence, whether it has adopted one of the suggested practices for family finding described in All-County Letter 18-42 and, generally, whether the practice has been implemented through training, memoranda, manuals, or comparable documents. If a county welfare department has not adopted one of the suggested practices for family finding described in All-County Letter 18-42, the county welfare department shall provide a copy to the State Department of Social Services of its existing family finding policies and practices, as reflected in memoranda, handbooks, manuals, training manuals, or any other document, that are in existence prior to January 1, 2022.
(B)  The due diligence required under subparagraph (A) shall include family finding. For purposes of this section, “family finding” means conducting an investigation, including, but not limited to, through a computer-based search engine, to identify relatives and kin and to connect a child or youth, who may be disconnected from their parents, with those relatives and kin in an effort to provide family support and possible placement. If it is known or there is reason to know that the child is an Indian child, as defined by Section 224.1, “family finding” also includes contacting the Indian child’s tribe to identify relatives and kin.

SEC. 2. Section 319 of the Welfare and Institutions Code is amended to read:
319. (a)  At the initial petition hearing, the court shall examine the child’s parents, guardians, Indian custodian, or other persons having relevant knowledge and hear the relevant evidence as the child, the child’s parents or guardians, the child’s Indian custodian, the petitioner, the Indian child’s tribe, or their counsel desires to present. The court may examine the child, as provided in Section 350.
(b)  The social worker shall report to the court on the reasons why the child has been removed from the parent’s, guardian’s, or Indian custodian’s physical custody; the need, if any, for continued 95 AB 448 — 8 —

detention; and the available services and the referral methods to those services that could facilitate the return of the child to the custody of the child’s parents, guardians, or Indian custodian; and shall document their efforts, and in the case of an Indian child, the active efforts, as defined in subdivision (f) of Section 224.1, and results of those efforts by the social worker to locate any relatives or kin who could provide family support or possible placement of the child or nonminor dependent and the names of those relatives or kin. If it is known or there is reason to know the child is an Indian child, the report shall also include all of the following:
(1)  A statement of the risk of imminent physical damage or harm to the Indian child and any evidence that the emergency removal or placement continues to be necessary to prevent the imminent physical damage or harm to the child.
(2)  The steps taken to provide notice to the child’s parents, custodians, and tribe about the hearing pursuant to this section. (3)  If the child’s parents and Indian custodians are unknown, a detailed explanation of what efforts have been made to locate and contact them, including contact with the appropriate Bureau of Indian Affairs regional director.
(4)  The residence and the domicile of the Indian child. (5)  If either the residence or the domicile of the Indian child is believed to be on a reservation or in an Alaska Native village, the name of the tribe affiliated with that reservation or village.

(7)  A specific and detailed account of the circumstances that caused the Indian child to be taken into temporary custody.

(9)  A statement of the efforts that have been taken to assist the parents or Indian custodians so the Indian child may safely be returned to their custody.
(c)  The court shall order the release of the child from custody unless a prima facie showing has been made that the child comes within Section 300, the court finds that continuance in the parent’s 95 — 9 — AB 448

or guardian’s home is contrary to the child’s welfare, and any of the following circumstances exist:
(1)  There is a substantial danger to the physical health of the child or the child is suffering severe emotional damage, and there are no reasonable means by which the child’s physical or emotional health may be protected without removing the child from the parent’s or guardian’s physical custody.
(2)  There is substantial evidence that a parent, guardian, or custodian of the child is likely to flee the jurisdiction of the court, and, in the case of an Indian child, fleeing the jurisdiction will place the child at risk of imminent physical damage or harm. (3)  The child has left a placement in which the child was placed by the juvenile court.
(4)  The child indicates an unwillingness to return home, if the child has been physically or sexually abused by a person residing in the home.
(d)  If the court knows or there is reason to know the child is an Indian child, the court may only detain the Indian child if it also finds that detention is necessary to prevent imminent physical damage or harm. The court shall state on the record the facts supporting this finding.
(e)  (1)  If the hearing pursuant to this section is continued pursuant to Section 322 or for any other reason, the court shall find that the continuance of the child in the parent’s or guardian’s home is contrary to the child’s welfare at the initial petition hearing or order the release of the child from custody.
(2)  If the court knows or has reason to know the child is an Indian child, the hearing pursuant to this section may not be continued beyond 30 days unless the court finds all of the following:
(A)  Restoring the child to the parent, parents, or Indian custodian would subject the child to imminent physical damage or harm. (B)  The court is unable to transfer the proceeding to the jurisdiction of the appropriate Indian tribe.
(C)  It is not possible to initiate an Indian child custody proceeding as defined in Section 224.1.
(f)  (1)  The court shall also make a determination on the record, referencing the social worker’s report or other evidence relied upon, as to whether reasonable efforts were made to prevent or eliminate the need for removal of the child from their home, 95 AB 448 — 10 —

pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 306, and whether there are available services that would prevent the need for further detention.

Services to be considered for purposes of making this determination are case management, counseling, emergency shelter care, emergency in-home caretakers, out-of-home respite care, teaching and demonstrating homemakers, parenting training, transportation, and any other child welfare services authorized by the State Department of Social Services pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 16500) of Part 4 of Division 9. The court shall also review whether the social worker has considered whether a referral to public assistance services pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 11200) and Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 14000) of Part 3 of, Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 17000) of Part 5 of, and Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 18900) of Part 6 of, Division 9 would have eliminated the need to take temporary custody of the child or would prevent the need for further detention.
(2)  If the court knows or has reason to know the child is an Indian child, the court shall also determine whether the county welfare department made active efforts to provide remedial services and rehabilitation programs designed to prevent the breakup of the Indian family. The court shall order the county welfare department to initiate or continue services or programs pending disposition pursuant to Section 358.
(3)  If the child can be returned to the custody of their parent, guardian, or Indian custodian through the provision of those services, the court shall place the child with their parent, guardian, or Indian custodian and order that the services shall be provided.

If the child cannot be returned to the physical custody of their parent or guardian, the court shall determine if there is a relative who is able and willing to care for the child, and has been assessed pursuant to Section 361.4.
(4)  In order to preserve the bond between the child and the parent and to facilitate family reunification, the court shall consider whether the child can be returned to the custody of their parent who is enrolled in a certified substance abuse treatment facility that allows a dependent child to reside with their parent. The fact that the parent is enrolled in a certified substance abuse treatment facility that allows a dependent child to reside with their parent shall not be, for that reason alone, prima facie evidence of 95 — 11 — AB 448

substantial danger. The court shall specify the factual basis for its conclusion that the return of the child to the custody of their parent would pose a substantial danger or would not pose a substantial danger to the physical health, safety, protection, or physical or emotional well-being of the child.
(g)  If a court orders a child detained, the court shall state the facts on which the decision is based, specify why the initial removal was necessary, reference the social worker’s report or other evidence relied upon to make its determination whether
continuance in the home of the parent or legal guardian is contrary to the child’s welfare, order temporary placement and care of the child to be vested with the county child welfare department pending the hearing held pursuant to Section 355 or further order of the court, and order services to be provided as soon as possible to reunify the child and their family, if appropriate.
(h)  (1)  (A)  If the child is not released from custody, the court may order the temporary placement of the child in any of the following for a period not to exceed 15 judicial days:
(i)  The home of a relative, an extended family member, as defined in Section 224.1 and Section 1903 of the federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (25 U.S.C. Sec. 1901 et seq.), or a nonrelative extended family member, as defined in Section 362.7, that has been assessed pursuant to Section 361.4.
(ii)  The approved home of a resource family, as defined in Section 16519.5, or a home licensed or approved by the Indian child’s tribe.
(iii)  An emergency shelter or other suitable licensed place. (iv)  A place exempt from licensure designated by the juvenile court.
(B)  A youth homelessness prevention center licensed by the State Department of Social Services pursuant to Section 1502.35 of the Health and Safety Code shall not be a placement option pursuant to this section.
(C)  If the court knows or has reason to know that the child is an Indian child, the Indian child shall be detained in a home that complies with the placement preferences set forth in Section 361.31 and in the federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (25 U.S.C.

Sec. 1901 et seq.), unless the court finds good cause exists pursuant to Section 361.31 not to follow the placement preferences. If the court finds good cause not to follow the placement preferences for 95 AB 448 — 12 —

detention, this finding does not affect the requirement that a diligent search be made for a subsequent placement within the placement preferences.
(2)  Relatives shall be given preferential consideration for placement of the child. As used in this section, “relative” means an adult who is related to the child by blood, adoption, or affinity within the fifth degree of kinship, including stepparents, stepsiblings, and all relatives whose status is preceded by the words “great,” “great-great,” or “grand,” or the spouse of any of these persons, even if the marriage was terminated by death or dissolution.
(3)  When placing in the home of a relative, an extended family member, as defined in Section 224.1 and Section 1903 of the federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, or nonrelative extended family member, the court shall consider the recommendations of the social worker based on the assessment pursuant to Section 361.4 of the home of the relative, extended family member, or nonrelative extended family member, including the results of a criminal records check and prior child abuse allegations, if any, before ordering that the child be placed with a relative or nonrelative extended family member. The court may authorize the placement of a child on a temporary basis in the home of a relative, regardless of the status of any criminal record exemption or resource family approval, if the court finds that the placement does not pose a risk to the health and safety of the child. The court shall order the parent to disclose to the social worker the names, residences, and any known identifying information of any maternal or paternal relatives of the child. The social worker shall initiate the assessment pursuant to Section 361.3 of any relative to be considered for continuing placement.
(i)  In the case of an Indian child, any order detaining the child pursuant to this section shall be considered an emergency removal within the meaning of Section 1922 of the federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978. The emergency proceeding shall terminate if the child is returned to the custody of the parent, parents, or Indian custodian, the child has been transferred to the custody and jurisdiction of the child’s tribe, or the agency or another party to the proceeding recommends that the child be removed from the physical custody of their parent or parents or Indian custodian pursuant to Section 361 or 361.2.

(3)  If the court cannot identify a responsible adult to make educational decisions for the child and the appointment of a surrogate parent, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 56050 of the Education Code, is not warranted, the court may, with the input of any interested person, make educational decisions for the child. If the child is receiving services from a regional center, the provision of any developmental services related to the court’s decision shall be consistent with the child’s individual program plan and pursuant to the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act (Division 4.5 (commencing with Section 4500)). If the court cannot identify a responsible adult to make developmental services decisions for the child, the court may, with the input of any interested person, make developmental services decisions for the child. If the court makes educational or developmental services decisions for the child, the court shall also issue appropriate orders 95 AB 448 — 14 —

to ensure that every effort is made to identify a responsible adult to make future educational or developmental services decisions for the child.
(4)  A temporary appointment of a responsible adult and temporary limitation on the right of the parent or guardian to make educational or developmental services decisions for the child shall be specifically addressed in the court order. An order made under this section shall expire at the conclusion of the hearing held pursuant to Section 361 or upon dismissal of the petition. Upon the entering of disposition orders, additional needed limitation on the parent’s or guardian’s educational or developmental services rights shall be addressed pursuant to Section 361.
(5)  This section does not remove the obligation to appoint surrogate parents for students with disabilities who are without parental representation in special education procedures, as required by state and federal law, including Section 1415(b)(2) of Title 20 of the United States Code, Section 56050 of the Education Code, Section 7579.5 of the Government Code, and Rule 5.650 of the California Rules of Court.
(6)  If the court appoints a developmental services decisionmaker pursuant to this section, the developmental services decisionmaker shall have the authority to access the child’s information and records pursuant to subdivision (u) of Section 4514 and paragraph (23) of subdivision (a) of Section 5328, and to act on the child’s behalf for the purposes of the individual program plan process pursuant to Sections 4646, 4646.5, and 4648 and the fair hearing process pursuant to Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 4700) of Division 4.5, and as set forth in the court order.
(k)  For a placement made on or after October 1, 2021, each temporary placement of the child pursuant to subdivision (h) in a short-term residential therapeutic program shall comply with the requirements of Section 4096 and be reviewed by the court pursuant to Section 361.22.
(l)  For a placement made on or after July 1, 2022, each temporary placement of the child pursuant to subdivision (h) in a community treatment facility shall comply with the requirements of Section 4096 and be reviewed by the court pursuant to Section 361.22.

(2)  There is substantial evidence that a parent, guardian, or custodian of the child is likely to flee the jurisdiction of the court, and, in the case of an Indian child, fleeing the jurisdiction will place the child at risk of imminent physical damage or harm.

Services to be considered for purposes of making this determination are case management, counseling, emergency shelter care, emergency in-home caretakers, out-of-home respite care, teaching and demonstrating homemakers, parenting training, transportation, and any other child welfare services authorized by the State Department of Social Services pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 16500) of Part 4 of Division 9. The court shall also review whether the social worker has considered whether a referral to public assistance services pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 11200) and Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 14000) of Part 3 of, Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 17000) of Part 5 of, and Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 18900) of Part 6 of, Division 9 would have eliminated the need to take temporary custody of the child or would prevent the need for further detention.

(A)  The parent or guardian is unavailable, unable, or unwilling to exercise educational or developmental services rights for the child.
(B)  The county placing agency has made diligent efforts to locate and secure the participation of the parent or guardian in educational or developmental services decisionmaking.
(C)  The child’s educational and developmental services needs cannot be met without the temporary appointment of a responsible adult.
(2)  If the court limits the parent’s educational rights under this subdivision, the court shall determine whether there is a responsible adult who is a relative, nonrelative extended family member, or other adult known to the child and who is available and willing to serve as the child’s educational representative before appointing an educational representative or surrogate who is not known to the child.
(3)  If the court cannot identify a responsible adult to make educational decisions for the child and the appointment of a 95 — 21 — AB 448

surrogate parent, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 56050 of the Education Code, is not warranted, the court may, with the input of any interested person, make educational decisions for the child. If the child is receiving services from a regional center, the provision of any developmental services related to the court’s decision shall be consistent with the child’s individual program plan and pursuant to the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act (Division 4.5 (commencing with Section 4500)). If the court cannot identify a responsible adult to make developmental services decisions for the child, the court may, with the input of any interested person, make developmental services decisions for the child. If the court makes educational or developmental services decisions for the child, the court shall also issue appropriate orders to ensure that every effort is made to identify a responsible adult to make future educational or developmental services decisions for the child.
(4)  A temporary appointment of a responsible adult and temporary limitation on the right of the parent or guardian to make educational or developmental services decisions for the child shall be specifically addressed in the court order. An order made under this section shall expire at the conclusion of the hearing held pursuant to Section 361 or upon dismissal of the petition. Upon the entering of disposition orders, additional needed limitation on the parent’s or guardian’s educational or developmental services rights shall be addressed pursuant to Section 361.
(5)  This section does not remove the obligation to appoint surrogate parents for students with disabilities who are without parental representation in special education procedures, as required by state and federal law, including Section 1415(b)(2) of Title 20 of the United States Code, Section 56050 of the Education Code, Section 7579.5 of the Government Code, and Rule 5.650 of the California Rules of Court.
(6)  If the court appoints a developmental services decisionmaker pursuant to this section, the developmental services decisionmaker shall have the authority to access the child’s information and records pursuant to subdivision (u) of Section 4514 and paragraph (23) of subdivision (a) of Section 5328, and to act on the child’s behalf for the purposes of the individual program plan process pursuant to Sections 4646, 4646.5, and 4648 and the fair hearing 95 AB 448 — 22 —

process pursuant to Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 4700) of Division 4.5, and as set forth in the court order.
(k)  For a placement made on or after October 1, 2021, each temporary placement of the child pursuant to subdivision (h) in a short-term residential therapeutic program shall comply with the requirements of Section 4096 and be reviewed by the court pursuant to Section 361.22.
(l)  For a placement made on or after July 1, 2022, each temporary placement of the child pursuant to subdivision (h) in a community treatment facility shall comply with the requirements of Section 4096 and be reviewed by the court pursuant to Section 361.22.

SEC. 2.2. Section 319 of the Welfare and Institutions Code is amended to read:
319. (a)  At the initial petition hearing, the court shall review the report described in subdivision (b) and examine the child’s parents, guardians, Indian custodian, or other persons having relevant knowledge and hear the relevant evidence as the child, the child’s parents or guardians, the child’s Indian custodian, the petitioner, the Indian child’s tribe, or their counsel desires to present. The court may examine the child, as provided in Section 350.
(b)  The social worker shall report to the court on the reasons why the child has been removed from the parent’s, guardian’s, or Indian custodian’s physical custody; the need, if any, for continued detention; and the available services and the referral methods to those services that could facilitate the return of the child to the custody of the child’s parents, guardians, or Indian custodian; and shall document their efforts, and in the case of an Indian child, the active efforts, as defined in subdivision (f) of Section 224.1, and results of those efforts by the social worker to locate any relatives or kin who could provide family support or possible placement of the child or nonminor dependent and the names of those relatives or kin. The report shall also include information regarding any short-term or long-term harms, or both short-term and long-term harms, to the child that may result from their removal from the custody of their parent, guardian, or Indian custodian, including, but not limited to, the information specified in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (c), the placement options, including an assessment of the least disruptive alternatives to 95 — 23 — AB 448

returning the child to the custody of their parent, guardian, or Indian custodian, including compliance with the placement preferences set forth in Section 361.31 in the case of an Indian child, and measures that may be available to alleviate disruption and minimize the harms of removal. If it is known or there is reason to know the child is an Indian child, the report shall also include all of the following:
(1)  A statement of the risk of imminent physical damage or harm to the Indian child and any evidence that the emergency removal or placement continues to be necessary to prevent the imminent physical damage or harm to the child.

(3)  If the child’s parents and Indian custodians are unknown, a detailed explanation of what efforts have been made to locate and contact them, including contact with the appropriate Bureau of Indian Affairs regional director.
(4)  The residence and the domicile of the Indian child. (5)  If either the residence or the domicile of the Indian child is believed to be on a reservation or in an Alaska Native village, the name of the tribe affiliated with that reservation or village. (6)  The tribal affiliation of the child and of the parents or Indian custodians.
(7)  A specific and detailed account of the circumstances that caused the Indian child to be taken into temporary custody. (8)  If the child is believed to reside or be domiciled on a reservation in which the tribe exercises exclusive jurisdiction over child custody matters, a statement of efforts that have been made and that are being made to contact the tribe and transfer the child to the tribe’s jurisdiction.
(9)  A statement of the efforts that have been taken to assist the parents or Indian custodians so the Indian child may safely be returned to their custody.
(10)  The steps taken to consult and collaborate with the tribe and the outcome of that consultation and collaboration. (c)  (1)  The court shall order the release of the child from custody unless a prima facie showing has been made that the child comes within Section 300, the court finds that continuance in the parent’s or guardian’s home is contrary to the child’s welfare, and any of the following circumstances exist:
95 AB 448 — 24 —

(A)  There is a substantial danger to the physical health of the child or the child is suffering severe emotional damage, and there are no reasonable means by which the child’s physical or emotional health may be protected without removing the child from the parent’s or guardian’s physical custody.
(B)  There is substantial evidence that a parent, guardian, or custodian of the child is likely to flee the jurisdiction of the court, and, in the case of an Indian child, fleeing the jurisdiction will place the child at risk of imminent physical damage or harm. (C)  The child has left a placement in which the child was placed by the juvenile court.
(D)  The child indicates an unwillingness to return home, if the child has been physically or sexually abused by a person residing in the home.
(2)  (A)  The court shall determine whether less disruptive alternatives to removal were considered by the agency, such as factors related to the impact of removal on the child, including, but not limited to, the following:
(i)  A description of the relationship between the child and their parents, guardians, or Indian custodians, based on the child’s perspective, and the child’s response to removal and, where developmentally appropriate, their perspective on removal. (ii)  The relationship between the child and any siblings. (iii)  The relationship between the child and other members of the household.
(iv)  Any disruption to the child’s schooling, social relationships, and physical or emotional health that may result from placement out of the home, and in the case of an Indian child, any impact on the child’s connection to their tribe, extended family members, and tribal community.
(B)  If the court finds that removal is necessary under paragraph (1), the court shall, in a written order or on the record, set forth all of the following:
(i)  The basis for its findings and the evidence relied on. (ii)  Its determination regarding the child’s placement, including whether it complies with the placement preferences set forth in Section 361.31 and less disruptive alternatives.
(iii)  Include any orders necessary to alleviate any disruption or harm to the child resulting from removal.
95 — 25 — AB 448

(C)  Nothing in this paragraph permits a child to be released to a parent, legal guardian, or Indian custodian, or to be placed in an unsafe placement, due solely to the court determining the child was not offered less disruptive alternatives.
(d)  If the court knows or there is reason to know the child is an Indian child, the court may only detain the Indian child if it also finds that detention is necessary to prevent imminent physical damage or harm. The court shall state on the record the facts supporting this finding.
(e)  (1)  If the hearing pursuant to this section is continued pursuant to Section 322 or for any other reason, the court shall find that the continuance of the child in the parent’s or guardian’s home is contrary to the child’s welfare at the initial petition hearing or order the release of the child from custody.
(2)  If the court knows or has reason to know the child is an Indian child, the hearing pursuant to this section may not be continued beyond 30 days unless the court finds all of the following:
(A)  Restoring the child to the parent, parents, or Indian custodian would subject the child to imminent physical damage or harm. (B)  The court is unable to transfer the proceeding to the jurisdiction of the appropriate Indian tribe.
(C)  It is not possible to initiate an Indian child custody proceeding as defined in Section 224.1.
(f)  (1)  The court shall also make a determination on the record, referencing the social worker’s report or other evidence relied upon, as to whether reasonable efforts were made to prevent or eliminate the need for removal of the child from their home, pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 306, and whether there are available services that would prevent the need for further detention.

Services to be considered for purposes of making this determination are case management, counseling, emergency shelter care, emergency in-home caretakers, out-of-home respite care, teaching and demonstrating homemakers, parenting training, transportation, and any other child welfare services authorized by the State Department of Social Services pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 16500) of Part 4 of Division 9. The court shall also review whether the social worker has considered whether a referral to public assistance services pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 11200) and Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 95 AB 448 — 26 —

14000) of Part 3 of, Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 17000) of Part 5 of, and Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 18900) of Part 6 of, Division 9 would have eliminated the need to take temporary custody of the child or would prevent the need for further detention. This determination shall apply to each child individually, and the considerations shall be tailored to the individual child.
(2)  If the court knows or has reason to know the child is an Indian child, the court shall also determine whether the county welfare department made active efforts to provide remedial services and rehabilitation programs designed to prevent the breakup of the Indian family. The court shall order the county welfare department to initiate or continue services or programs pending disposition pursuant to Section 358.
(3)  If the child can be returned to the custody of their parent, guardian, or Indian custodian through the provision of those services, the court shall place the child with their parent, guardian, or Indian custodian and order that the services shall be provided.

If the child cannot be returned to the physical custody of their parent or guardian, the court shall determine if there is a relative who is able and willing to care for the child, and has been assessed pursuant to Section 361.4.
(4)  In order to preserve the bond between the child and the parent and to facilitate family reunification, the court shall consider whether the child can be returned to the custody of their parent who is enrolled in a certified substance abuse treatment facility that allows a dependent child to reside with their parent. The fact that the parent is enrolled in a certified substance abuse treatment facility that allows a dependent child to reside with their parent shall not be, for that reason alone, prima facie evidence of substantial danger. The court shall specify the factual basis for its conclusion that the return of the child to the custody of their parent would pose a substantial danger or would not pose a substantial danger to the physical health, safety, protection, or physical or emotional well-being of the child.
(g)  If a court orders a child detained, the court shall state the facts on which the decision is based, specify why the initial removal was necessary, reference the social worker’s report or other evidence relied upon to make its determination whether
continuance in the home of the parent or legal guardian is contrary 95 — 27 — AB 448

to the child’s welfare, order temporary placement and care of the child to be vested with the county child welfare department pending the hearing held pursuant to Section 355 or further order of the court, and order services to be provided as soon as possible to reunify the child and their family, if appropriate.
(h)  (1)  (A)  If the child is not released from custody, the court may order the temporary placement of the child in any of the following for a period not to exceed 15 judicial days:
(i)  The home of a relative, an extended family member, as defined in Section 224.1 and Section 1903 of the federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (25 U.S.C. Sec. 1901 et seq.), or a nonrelative extended family member, as defined in Section 362.7, that has been assessed pursuant to Section 361.4.
(ii)  The approved home of a resource family, as described in Section 16519.5, or a home licensed or approved by the Indian child’s tribe.
(iii)  An emergency shelter or other suitable licensed place. (iv)  A place exempt from licensure designated by the juvenile court.
(B)  A youth homelessness prevention center licensed by the State Department of Social Services pursuant to Section 1502.35 of the Health and Safety Code shall not be a placement option pursuant to this section.
(C)  If the court knows or has reason to know that the child is an Indian child, the Indian child shall be detained in a home that complies with the placement preferences set forth in Section 361.31 and in the federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (25 U.S.C.

Sec. 1901 et seq.), unless the court finds good cause exists pursuant to Section 361.31 not to follow the placement preferences. If the court finds good cause not to follow the placement preferences for detention, this finding does not affect the requirement that a diligent search be made for a subsequent placement within the placement preferences.
(2)  Relatives shall be given preferential consideration for placement of the child. As used in this section, “relative” means an adult who is related to the child by blood, adoption, or affinity within the fifth degree of kinship, including stepparents, stepsiblings, and all relatives whose status is preceded by the words “great,” “great-great,” or “grand,” or the spouse of any of these 95 AB 448 — 28 —

persons, even if the marriage was terminated by death or dissolution.
(3)  When placing in the home of a relative, an extended family member, as defined in Section 224.1 and Section 1903 of the federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, or nonrelative extended family member, the court shall consider the recommendations of the social worker based on the assessment pursuant to Section 361.4 of the home of the relative, extended family member, or nonrelative extended family member, including the results of a criminal records check and prior child abuse allegations, if any, before ordering that the child be placed with a relative or nonrelative extended family member. The court may authorize the placement of a child on a temporary basis in the home of a relative, regardless of the status of any criminal record exemption or resource family approval, if the court finds that the placement does not pose a risk to the health and safety of the child. The court shall order the parent to disclose to the social worker the names, residences, and any known identifying information of any maternal or paternal relatives of the child. The social worker shall initiate the assessment pursuant to Section 361.3 of any relative to be considered for continuing placement.
(i)  In the case of an Indian child, any order detaining the child pursuant to this section shall be considered an emergency removal within the meaning of Section 1922 of the federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978. The emergency proceeding shall terminate if the child is returned to the custody of the parent, parents, or Indian custodian, the child has been transferred to the custody and jurisdiction of the child’s tribe, or the agency or another party to the proceeding recommends that the child be removed from the physical custody of their parent or parents or Indian custodian pursuant to Section 361 or 361.2.
(j)  (1)  At the initial hearing upon the petition filed in accordance with subdivision (c) of Rule 5.520 of the California Rules of Court or anytime thereafter up until the time that the minor is adjudged a dependent child of the court or a finding is made dismissing the petition, the court may temporarily limit the right of the parent or guardian to make educational or developmental services decisions for the child and temporarily appoint a responsible adult to make educational or developmental services decisions for the child if all of the following conditions are found:
95 — 29 — AB 448

(A)  The parent or guardian is unavailable, unable, or unwilling to exercise educational or developmental services rights for the child.
(B)  The county placing agency has made diligent efforts to locate and secure the participation of the parent or guardian in educational or developmental services decisionmaking.
(C)  The child’s educational and developmental services needs cannot be met without the temporary appointment of a responsible adult.
(2)  If the court limits the parent’s educational rights under this subdivision, the court shall determine whether there is a responsible adult who is a relative, nonrelative extended family member, or other adult known to the child and who is available and willing to serve as the child’s educational representative before appointing an educational representative or surrogate who is not known to the child.
(3)  If the court cannot identify a responsible adult to make educational decisions for the child and the appointment of a surrogate parent, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 56050 of the Education Code, is not warranted, the court may, with the input of any interested person, make educational decisions for the child. If the child is receiving services from a regional center, the provision of any developmental services related to the court’s decision shall be consistent with the child’s individual program plan and pursuant to the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act (Division 4.5 (commencing with Section 4500)). If the court cannot identify a responsible adult to make developmental services decisions for the child, the court may, with the input of any interested person, make developmental services decisions for the child. If the court makes educational or developmental services decisions for the child, the court shall also issue appropriate orders to ensure that every effort is made to identify a responsible adult to make future educational or developmental services decisions for the child.
(4)  A temporary appointment of a responsible adult and temporary limitation on the right of the parent or guardian to make educational or developmental services decisions for the child shall be specifically addressed in the court order. An order made under this section shall expire at the conclusion of the hearing held pursuant to Section 361 or upon dismissal of the petition. Upon 95 AB 448 — 30 —

the entering of disposition orders, additional needed limitation on the parent’s or guardian’s educational or developmental services rights shall be addressed pursuant to Section 361.
(5)  This section does not remove the obligation to appoint surrogate parents for students with disabilities who are without parental representation in special education procedures, as required by state and federal law, including Section 1415(b)(2) of Title 20 of the United States Code, Section 56050 of the Education Code, Section 7579.5 of the Government Code, and Rule 5.650 of the California Rules of Court.
(6)  If the court appoints a developmental services decisionmaker pursuant to this section, the developmental services decisionmaker shall have the authority to access the child’s information and records pursuant to subdivision (u) of Section 4514 and paragraph (23) of subdivision (a) of Section 5328, and to act on the child’s behalf for the purposes of the individual program plan process pursuant to Sections 4646, 4646.5, and 4648 and the fair hearing process pursuant to Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 4700) of Division 4.5, and as set forth in the court order.
(k)  For a placement made on or after October 1, 2021, each temporary placement of the child pursuant to subdivision (h) in a short-term residential therapeutic program shall comply with the requirements of Section 4096 and be reviewed by the court pursuant to Section 361.22.
(l)  For a placement made on or after July 1, 2022, each temporary placement of the child pursuant to subdivision (h) in a community treatment facility shall comply with the requirements of Section 4096 and be reviewed by the court pursuant to Section 361.22.

SEC. 2.3. Section 319 of the Welfare and Institutions Code is amended to read:
319. (a)  At the initial petition hearing, the court shall review the report described in subdivision (b) and examine the child’s parents, guardians, Indian custodian, or other persons having relevant knowledge and hear the relevant evidence as the child, the child’s parents or guardians, the child’s Indian custodian, the petitioner, the Indian child’s tribe, or their counsel desires to present. The court may examine the child, as provided in Section 350.

(b)  The social worker shall report to the court on the reasons why the child has been removed from the parent’s, guardian’s, or Indian custodian’s physical custody; the need, if any, for continued detention; and the available services and the referral methods to those services that could facilitate the return of the child to the custody of the child’s parents, guardians, or Indian custodian; and shall document their efforts, and in the case of an Indian child, the active efforts, as defined in subdivision (f) of Section 224.1, and results of those efforts by the social worker to locate any relatives or kin who could provide family support or possible placement of the child or nonminor dependent and the names of those relatives or kin. The report shall also include information regarding any short-term or long-term harms, or both short-term and long-term harms, to the child that may result from their removal from the custody of their parent, guardian, or Indian custodian, including, but not limited to, the information specified in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (c), the placement options, including an assessment of the least disruptive alternatives to returning the child to the custody of their parent, guardian, or Indian custodian, including compliance with the placement preferences set forth in Section 361.31 in the case of an Indian child, and measures that may be available to alleviate disruption and minimize the harms of removal. If it is known or there is reason to know the child is an Indian child, the report shall also include all of the following:
(1)  A statement of the risk of imminent physical damage or harm to the Indian child and any evidence that the emergency removal or placement continues to be necessary to prevent the imminent physical damage or harm to the child.

(9)  A statement of the efforts that have been taken to assist the parents or Indian custodians so the Indian child may safely be returned to their custody.
(10)  The steps taken to consult and collaborate with the tribe and the outcome of that consultation and collaboration. (c)  (1)  The court shall order the release of the child from custody unless a prima facie showing has been made that the child comes within Section 300, the court finds that continuance in the parent’s or guardian’s home is contrary to the child’s welfare, and any of the following circumstances exist:
(A)  There is a substantial danger to the physical health of the child or the child is suffering severe emotional damage, and there are no reasonable means by which the child’s physical or emotional health may be protected without removing the child from the parent’s or guardian’s physical custody.
(B)  There is substantial evidence that a parent, guardian, or custodian of the child is likely to flee the jurisdiction of the court, and, in the case of an Indian child, fleeing the jurisdiction will place the child at risk of imminent physical damage or harm.

perspective, and the child’s response to removal and, where developmentally appropriate, their perspective on removal. (ii)  The relationship between the child and any siblings. (iii)  The relationship between the child and other members of the household.
(iv)  Any disruption to the child’s schooling, social relationships, and physical or emotional health that may result from placement out of the home, and in the case of an Indian child, any impact on the child’s connection to their tribe, extended family members, and tribal community.
(B)  If the court finds that removal is necessary under paragraph (1), the court shall, in a written order or on the record, set forth all of the following:
(i)  The basis for its findings and the evidence relied on. (ii)  Its determination regarding the child’s placement, including whether it complies with the placement preferences set forth in Section 361.31 and less disruptive alternatives.
(iii)  Include any orders necessary to alleviate any disruption or harm to the child resulting from removal.
(C)  Nothing in this paragraph permits a child to be released to a parent, legal guardian, or Indian custodian, or to be placed in an unsafe placement, due solely to the court determining the child was not offered less disruptive alternatives.
(d)  If the court knows or there is reason to know the child is an Indian child, the court may only detain the Indian child if it also finds that detention is necessary to prevent imminent physical damage or harm. The court shall state on the record the facts supporting this finding.
(e)  (1)  If the hearing pursuant to this section is continued pursuant to Section 322 or for any other reason, the court shall find that the continuance of the child in the parent’s or guardian’s home is contrary to the child’s welfare at the initial petition hearing or order the release of the child from custody.
(2)  If the court knows or has reason to know the child is an Indian child, the hearing pursuant to this section may not be continued beyond 30 days unless the court finds all of the following:
(A)  Restoring the child to the parent, parents, or Indian custodian would subject the child to imminent physical damage or harm. 95 AB 448 — 34 —

(B)  The court is unable to transfer the proceeding to the jurisdiction of the appropriate Indian tribe.
(C)  It is not possible to initiate an Indian child custody proceeding as defined in Section 224.1.
(f)  (1)  The court shall also make a determination on the record, referencing the social worker’s report or other evidence relied upon, as to whether reasonable efforts were made to prevent or eliminate the need for removal of the child from their home, pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 306, and whether there are available services that would prevent the need for further detention.

Services to be considered for purposes of making this determination are case management, counseling, emergency shelter care, emergency in-home caretakers, out-of-home respite care, teaching and demonstrating homemakers, parenting training, transportation, and any other child welfare services authorized by the State Department of Social Services pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 16500) of Part 4 of Division 9.

This determination shall apply to each child individually, and the considerations shall be tailored to the individual child.
(2)  If the court knows or has reason to know the child is an Indian child, the court shall also determine whether the county welfare department made active efforts to provide remedial services and rehabilitation programs designed to prevent the breakup of the Indian family. The court shall order the county welfare department to initiate or continue services or programs pending disposition pursuant to Section 358.
(3)  If the child can be returned to the custody of their parent, guardian, or Indian custodian through the provision of those services, the court shall place the child with their parent, guardian, or Indian custodian and order that the services shall be provided.

If the child cannot be returned to the physical custody of their parent or guardian, the court shall determine if there is a relative 95 — 35 — AB 448

who is able and willing to care for the child, and has been assessed pursuant to Section 361.4.
(4)  In order to preserve the bond between the child and the parent and to facilitate family reunification, the court shall consider whether the child can be returned to the custody of their parent who is enrolled in a certified substance abuse treatment facility that allows a dependent child to reside with their parent. The fact that the parent is enrolled in a certified substance abuse treatment facility that allows a dependent child to reside with their parent shall not be, for that reason alone, prima facie evidence of substantial danger. The court shall specify the factual basis for its conclusion that the return of the child to the custody of their parent would pose a substantial danger or would not pose a substantial danger to the physical health, safety, protection, or physical or emotional well-being of the child.
(g)  If a court orders a child detained, the court shall state the facts on which the decision is based, specify why the initial removal was necessary, reference the social worker’s report or other evidence relied upon to make its determination whether
continuance in the home of the parent or legal guardian is contrary to the child’s welfare, order temporary placement and care of the child to be vested with the county child welfare department pending the hearing held pursuant to Section 355 or further order of the court, and order services to be provided as soon as possible to reunify the child and their family, if appropriate.
(h)  (1)  (A)  If the child is not released from custody, the court may order the temporary placement of the child in any of the following for a period not to exceed 15 judicial days:
(i)  The home of a relative, an extended family member, as defined in Section 224.1 and Section 1903 of the federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (25 U.S.C. Sec. 1901 et seq.), or a nonrelative extended family member, as defined in Section 362.7, that has been assessed pursuant to Section 361.4.

(C)  If the court knows or has reason to know that the child is an Indian child, the Indian child shall be detained in a home that complies with the placement preferences set forth in Section 361.31 and in the federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (25 U.S.C.

Sec. 1901 et seq.), unless the court finds good cause exists pursuant to Section 361.31 not to follow the placement preferences. If the court finds good cause not to follow the placement preferences for detention, this finding does not affect the requirement that a diligent search be made for a subsequent placement within the placement preferences.
(2)  Relatives shall be given preferential consideration for placement of the child. As used in this section, “relative” means an adult who is related to the child by blood, adoption, or affinity within the fifth degree of kinship, including stepparents, stepsiblings, and all relatives whose status is preceded by the words “great,” “great-great,” or “grand,” or the spouse of any of these persons, even if the marriage was terminated by death or dissolution.
(3)  When placing in the home of a relative, an extended family member, as defined in Section 224.1 and Section 1903 of the federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, or nonrelative extended family member, the court shall consider the recommendations of the social worker based on the assessment pursuant to Section 361.4 of the home of the relative, extended family member, or nonrelative extended family member, including the results of a criminal records check and prior child abuse allegations, if any, before ordering that the child be placed with a relative or nonrelative extended family member. The court may authorize the placement of a child on a temporary basis in the home of a relative, regardless of the status of any criminal record exemption or resource family approval, if the court finds that the placement does not pose a risk to the health and safety of the child. The court shall order the parent to disclose to the social worker the names, residences, and any known identifying information of any maternal or paternal relatives of the child. The social worker shall initiate 95 — 37 — AB 448

the assessment pursuant to Section 361.3 of any relative to be considered for continuing placement.
(i)  In the case of an Indian child, any order detaining the child pursuant to this section shall be considered an emergency removal within the meaning of Section 224.1 of this code, and as described in subdivision (g) of Section 305.5, and Section 1922 of the federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978. The emergency proceeding shall terminate if the child is returned to the custody of the parent, parents, or Indian custodian, the child has been transferred to the custody and jurisdiction of the child’s tribe, or the agency or another party to the proceeding recommends that the child be removed from the physical custody of their parent or parents or Indian custodian pursuant to Section 361 or 361.2.
(j)  (1)  At the initial hearing upon the petition filed in accordance with subdivision (c) of Rule 5.520 of the California Rules of Court or anytime thereafter up until the time that the minor is adjudged a dependent child of the court or a finding is made dismissing the petition, the court may temporarily limit the right of the parent or guardian to make educational or developmental services decisions for the child and temporarily appoint a responsible adult to make educational or developmental services decisions for the child if all of the following conditions are found:

(C)  The child’s educational and developmental services needs cannot be met without the temporary appointment of a responsible adult.
(2)  If the court limits the parent’s educational rights under this subdivision, the court shall determine whether there is a responsible adult who is a relative, nonrelative extended family member, or other adult known to the child and who is available and willing to serve as the child’s educational representative before appointing an educational representative or surrogate who is not known to the child.
(3)  If the court cannot identify a responsible adult to make educational decisions for the child and the appointment of a 95 AB 448 — 38 —

surrogate parent, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 56050 of the Education Code, is not warranted, the court may, with the input of any interested person, make educational decisions for the child. If the child is receiving services from a regional center, the provision of any developmental services related to the court’s decision shall be consistent with the child’s individual program plan and pursuant to the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act (Division 4.5 (commencing with Section 4500)). If the court cannot identify a responsible adult to make developmental services decisions for the child, the court may, with the input of any interested person, make developmental services decisions for the child. If the court makes educational or developmental services decisions for the child, the court shall also issue appropriate orders to ensure that every effort is made to identify a responsible adult to make future educational or developmental services decisions for the child.
(4)  A temporary appointment of a responsible adult and temporary limitation on the right of the parent or guardian to make educational or developmental services decisions for the child shall be specifically addressed in the court order. An order made under this section shall expire at the conclusion of the hearing held pursuant to Section 361 or upon dismissal of the petition. Upon the entering of disposition orders, additional needed limitation on the parent’s or guardian’s educational or developmental services rights shall be addressed pursuant to Section 361.
(5)  This section does not remove the obligation to appoint surrogate parents for students with disabilities who are without parental representation in special education procedures, as required by state and federal law, including Section 1415(b)(2) of Title 20 of the United States Code, Section 56050 of the Education Code, Section 7579.5 of the Government Code, and Rule 5.650 of the California Rules of Court.
(6)  If the court appoints a developmental services decisionmaker pursuant to this section, the developmental services decisionmaker shall have the authority to access the child’s information and records pursuant to subdivision (u) of Section 4514 and paragraph (23) of subdivision (a) of Section 5328, and to act on the child’s behalf for the purposes of the individual program plan process pursuant to Sections 4646, 4646.5, and 4648 and the fair hearing 95 — 39 — AB 448

process pursuant to Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 4700) of Division 4.5, and as set forth in the court order.
(k)  For a placement made on or after October 1, 2021, each temporary placement of the child pursuant to subdivision (h) in a short-term residential therapeutic program shall comply with the requirements of Section 4096 and be reviewed by the court pursuant to Section 361.22.
(l)  For a placement made on or after July 1, 2022, each temporary placement of the child pursuant to subdivision (h) in a community treatment facility shall comply with the requirements of Section 4096 and be reviewed by the court pursuant to Section 361.22.

If the study or evaluation makes that recommendation, it shall identify whether there is a responsible adult available to make educational decisions for the child pursuant to Section 361.
(f)  Whether the child appears to be a person who is eligible to be considered for further court action to free the child from parental custody and control.
(g)  Whether the parent has been advised of the child’s option to participate in adoption planning, including the option to enter 95 — 41 — AB 448

(4)  This section does not limit a probation officer’s authority to refer a minor to child welfare services.
(b)  If the probation officer has reason to believe that the minor is at risk of entering foster care placement, as defined in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 727.4, the probation officer shall, as part of the investigation undertaken pursuant to subdivision (a), make reasonable efforts, as described in paragraph (5) of subdivision (d) of Section 727.4, to prevent or eliminate the need for removal of the minor from their home.

(d)  (1)  It is the intent of the Legislature that this subdivision shall comply with paragraph (29) of subsection (a) of Section 671 of Title 42 of the United States Code as added by the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-351). It is further the intent of the Legislature that the identification and notification of relatives shall be made as early as possible after the removal of a youth who is at risk of entering foster care placement.
(2)  If the minor is detained and the probation officer has reason to believe that the minor is at risk of entering foster care placement, as defined in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 727.4, then the probation officer shall immediately conduct, but not later than 30 days after the child has been detained, an investigation in order to identify and locate all grandparents, adult siblings, and other relatives of the child, as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (f) of Section 319, including any other adult relatives suggested by the parents, and, if it is known or there is reason to know the child is an Indian child, any extended family members, as defined in Section 224.1.

adoption, or affinity through a common legal or biological parent.

The probation officer shall provide to all adult relatives who are located, except when that relative’s history of family or domestic violence makes notification inappropriate, within 30 days of the date on which the child is detained, written notification and shall also, whenever appropriate, provide oral notification, in person or by telephone, of all the following information:
(A)  The child has been removed from the custody of the child’s parent or parents, or guardians.

(3)  (A)  The probation officer shall use due diligence in investigating the names and locations of the relatives, including any parent and alleged parent, pursuant to paragraph (2), including, but not limited to, asking the child in an age-appropriate manner about any parent, alleged parent, and relatives important to the child, consistent with the child’s best interest, and obtaining information regarding the location of the child’s parents, alleged parents, and adult relatives. Each county probation department shall do both of the following:
(i)  Create and make public a procedure by which a parent and relatives of a child who has been removed from their parents or guardians may identify themselves to the county probation 95 AB 448 — 54 —

department and be provided with the notices required by paragraphs (1) and (2).
(ii)  Notify the State Department of Social Services, on or before January 1, 2024, in an email or other correspondence, whether it has adopted one of the suggested practices for family finding described in All-County Letter 18-42 and, generally, whether the practice has been implemented through training, memoranda, manuals, or comparable documents. If a county probation department has not adopted one of the suggested practices for family finding described in All-County Letter 18-42, the county probation department shall provide a copy to the State Department of Social Services of its existing family finding policies and practices, as reflected in memoranda, handbooks, manuals, training manuals, or any other document, that are in existence prior to January 1, 2022.
(B)  The due diligence required under subparagraph (A) shall include family finding. For purposes of this section, “family finding” means conducting an investigation, including, but not limited to, through a computer-based search engine, to identify relatives and kin and to connect a child or youth, who may be disconnected from their parents, with those relatives and kin in an effort to provide family support and possible placement. If it is known or there is reason to know that the child is an Indian child, as defined by Section 224.1, “family finding” also includes contacting the Indian child’s tribe to identify relatives and kin. (C)  The probation officer shall document their efforts, and in the case of an Indian child, the active efforts as defined by subdivision (f) of Section 224.1, and results of those efforts by the probation officer to locate any relatives or kin who could provide family support or possible placement of the child or nonminor dependent and the names of those relatives or kin.
(4)  To the extent allowed by federal law as a condition of receiving funding under Title IV-E of the federal Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 670 et seq.), if the probation officer did not conduct the identification and notification of relatives, as required in paragraph (2), but the court orders foster care placement, the probation officer shall conduct the investigation to find and notify relatives within 30 days of the placement order. Nothing in this section shall be construed to delay foster care placement for an individual child.

Item No. 4.7
City of Laguna Hills
City Council / Planning Agency
Staff Report
Date: March 25, 2025
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Bill Burk, Chief of Police Services
Issue: Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department for the Integration of the Fusus System
Recommendation: That the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to make minor modifications as may be necessary to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department for the integration of the Fusus System and authorize the Mayor to execute the MOU.

Background:

The City of Laguna Hills and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) propose to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to facilitate the integration of the Fusus System with the City’s closed-circuit surveillance camera network. The Fusus System provides a secure platform allowing real-time and recorded video access for law enforcement and emergency response purposes.

This partnership aims to enhance public safety, improve response times, and provide situational awareness to OCSD officers responding to incidents within the City. The City will retain full ownership of its camera system and control access permissions. The MOU is for a three-year term, with the ability for either party to terminate with written notice.

The Fusus System is a cloud-based technology that connects existing surveillance camera systems with law enforcement agencies, enabling them to access real-time or recorded video during emergency or law enforcement incidents. The system is currently used by various public safety agencies across the country to improve response coordination and efficiency.

Item No. 4.7
The MOU defines the responsibilities of both parties, ensuring proper data security, limited access, and compliance with law enforcement data retention standards. It also clarifies cost allocations, installation responsibilities, and procedures for terminating the agreement if necessary.

Key provisions of the MOU include:
• Ownership & Control – The City retains ownership of all camera systems and video footage.
• Limited Access – OCSD can access only the designated cameras as approved by the City.
• Security & Compliance – Video access complies with FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) standards.
• Data Sharing Restrictions – OCSD cannot share video footage with third parties without prior notification to the City, except in legal or law enforcementrequired circumstances. • Termination Rights – Either party may terminate the agreement with a 60-day written notice. The City may also stop sharing video access at any time.

This partnership is expected to enhance law enforcement capabilities, allowing for faster response times and better situational awareness in critical incidents, ultimately improving public safety in Laguna Hills.

Fiscal Impact:

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department will cover all costs associated with its own equipment, installation, maintenance, and removal of the Fusus System on City-owned cameras. The City’s financial responsibility will be limited to:
• Any network infrastructure upgrades required to facilitate integration (if applicable).
• Costs associated with City IT personnel assisting in the installation and management of the system.

These costs are expected to be minimal and can be accommodated within the existing budget for IT and public safety infrastructure.

Item No. 4.10
City of Laguna Hills
City Council / Planning Agency
Staff Report
Date: March 25, 2025
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Jennifer Lowe, Community Development Director
Issue: 2024 General Plan Annual Progress Report
Recommendation: That the City Council approve and direct Staff to forward the 2024 General Plan Annual Progress Report and Housing Element Annual Progress ReportHousing Implementation to the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) and the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Background:

Government Code Section 65400 and 65700 requires that all cities and counties submit an annual report on the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation to their local legislative bodies, the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI), and the Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1 of each year.

Senate Bill No. 375 (adopted in 2008) requires that the Annual Progress Report (APR) include a section describing the actions taken by the local government to complete the programs and meet the deadlines specified in the Housing Element. SB 375 builds on the existing framework of regional planning to tie together the regional allocation of housing needs and regional transportation planning in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

On January 1, 2025, the LCI issued a General Plan Annual Progress Report Guidance recommending Planning Agencies use a standardized format to streamline the submission process and minimize resources spent by local jurisdictions to generate the General Plan APR. Going forward, each city is strongly encouraged to use this new standardized format in order to avoid processing delays. City staff used both LCI’s and

Item No. 4.10
HCD’s standardized forms when preparing each applicable APR regarding the status of the Housing Element and the City’s progress in implementing its goals and programs.

These forms are included in the attached APRs. Following the City Council’s review of the 2024 APRs, Staff will forward the APR to the State of California departments by the deadline established by law.

Fiscal Impact:

None.

I. INTRODUCTION
Government Code § 65400 mandates that all cities and counties submit to their legislative bodies an annual report on the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation; otherwise referred to as the “Annual Progress Report.” The Annual Progress Report is intended as a tool for informing local legislative bodies of the jurisdiction’s effectiveness in implementing its General Plan. A copy of the Annual Progress Report must also be sent to the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

The purpose and intent of this statute is to ensure that the General Plan directs all land use decisions and remains an effective guide for the long-term physical development of a community. The Annual Progress Report is a tool for doing this. The Annual Progress Report provides a correlation between land use decisions that have been made during the 12-month reporting period and the goals, policies and implementation programs of the adopted General Plan.

Providing a copy of the Annual Progress Report to LCI provides information that allows LCI to monitor local planning activities and to identify trends in land use planning and decision-making throughout the State of California. The information is necessary for LCI to serve in its capacity as the statewide planning agency. It can also provide the State with information to identify necessary modifications and improvements to its General Plan Guidelines, while serving to apprise state government of local planning activities and facilitating the legislative process as it pertains to land use and local planning issues.

Providing a copy of this report to HCD fulfills a statutory requirement to report certain housing information, including the local agency’s progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the development of housing (as defined in Government Code Sections 65584 and 65583(c)(3)).

The focus of the Annual Progress Report should be on implementation of the General Plan’s goals, policies and implementation measures. It can provide information to identify necessary “course adjustments” or modifications to the General Plan and means to improve local implementation. Since there is no specific form provided by LCI, the Annual Progress Report can vary in format and approach from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
