ITEM NO. 5.2
DATE:
January 10, 2022
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Jeramy Young, Police Chief
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Axon Enterprise Inc. for a law enforcement technology update package in an amount not-to-exceed $1,747,850.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a 5-year agreement with Axon Enterprise Inc. for the modernization of multiple law enforcement technology products including, but not limited to: new police camera technologies (body-worn and in-car), new conducted energy weapons (Tasers), accountability related hardware/software, unlimited data storage, and software to increase personnel efficiency in an amount not-to-exceed $1,747,850.
SUMMARY
Law enforcement technologies have become a prevalent and effective tool in ensuring safety, transparency, efficiency, and accountability. Staff is requesting to enter into an agreement with Axon Enterprises Inc. for a technology modernization and data storage package for a 5-year term. The upgrade is known as AXON’s Officer Safety Plan (OSP) 7+ package.
DISCUSSION
The use of technology by law enforcement professionals has increased exponentially over the past 10- 15 years. It is not only relied upon for efficiency, but it enhances the safety of officers and community members. Technology also plays a key role in creating and maintaining public trust through providing foundations for police transparency and accountability. The highlights of the products and services related to this recommendation include the following:
Upgrade to the Taser 7 conducted energy weapon (CEW) from the Taser X2 model.
Enhancements include yellow exterior coloring for distinguishability from firearms, a rechargeable battery, the auto-download of data via an included docking station, potential increased effectiveness in the field (Taser 7 is effective at 4 ft. standoff distance vs. the required 9 ft. of standoff distance for the current X2 model), included cartridges for training and field use, 19 warranties, and peripheral supplies. The upgrade also includes multiple instructor and master instructor training certification vouchers for the further development of in-house instructors In-car cameras with Signal technology (note: Signal technology automatically triggers a recording during emergency vehicle operations). The camera systems also include installation costs and a related 5G modem. LPD does not currently use in-car cameras. This technology is expected to provide critical audio/video evidence that cannot be captured on body-worn camera systems (i.e., emergency response driving, pursuits, traffic violations, vehicle identification, and a third-party perspective of enforcement contacts)
New body worn cameras (BWC’s)- 2 per officer over the 5-year contact term, including applicable upgrades, docking stations, body mounts, warranties, etc.
Unlimited data storage for BWC, In-Car cameras, interview room cameras, and CEW data Signal Sidearm Program- this automatically starts camera system recordings when a firearm is removed from a holster within a given proximity of the camera(s) Performance Program- this is an auditing program that tracks camera usage and allows for comparisons between different shifts for policy adherence related to manual activations Auto-tagging of videos- this feature automatically assigns the related incident number or case number to a recording for tracking purposes
Channel Services- this product allows for the migration of data from the current unsupported digital image management system (DIMS) into evidence.com, which is the storage platform for AXON systems.
Redaction Assistant Program- allows for automatic video redaction of faces, license plates, etc. for Public Records Act requests and other releases
Respond Program- this feature provides supervisory ability to live-view cameras during recording mode and provides individual GPS data related to camera systems Third Party Video Support- this provides technologies to view video from outside sources, including home and business surveillance systems that have been uploaded to evidence.com Citizen for Communities Program- this program allows the police department to create an event specific link where any citizen can upload evidence directly to the police department’s evidence.com account
Data storage and maintenance for camera systems related to current police interview rooms
This comprehensive system is expected to provide greater safety to officers and others, increase police transparency and accountability, reduce liability, enhance and expedite the gathering of evidence, allow for additional community partnership opportunities, and provide a more efficient utilization of personnel time.
Purchasing Ordinance Section 2.68.370(B)2
2. Where it is determined that the supplies and equipment are unique or available only from one source, so that the bidding required by this section would be meaningless. The basis upon which this determination is made shall be in writing;
Per LMC 2.68.370 (B) (2), a sole source justification exists because the goods and services required to satisfy the agency’s needs are only manufactured and available for purchase from Axon Enterprise Inc.
Additionally, the technology products offered are compatible with each other, and with systems that are already in place within the organization.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
20 The agreement with Axon is for a 5-year term, which begins when certain equipment and services are delivered. For ease of reference, Year 1 of the contract is considered the remainder of this fiscal year and FY 2022-23. The current approved FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23 budget includes sufficient funding under the General Fund in the amount of $81,486.54 and $290,753.87, respectively, for the first year cost of the five-year contract. The remaining four years of the contract, each in the amount of $343,902.50, will be included in future police department budgets. These costs are comprehensive and include all services and supplies related to the equipment.

60 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.3
DATE:
January 10, 2022
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Bhavna Chaudhary, Acting Administrative Services Director SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing execution of the renewal subscription agreement with Info-Tech Research Group for Information Technology (IT) and Cybersecurity research, advisory, and consulting services in an amount not-to-exceed $170,000
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends City Council authorize execution of the renewal subscription agreement with Info- Tech research Group under their Federal GSA supply schedule for a three-year term not-to-exceed $170,000.
SUMMARY
Info-Tech Research Group provides Information Technology (IT) and Cybersecurity research, advisory, and consulting services including technology-based business research, industry-specific reporting, best- practice methodologies, benchmarking, and market analysis research. Info-Tech's library of research and consulting are needed practice aids for proper Governance of Information and Technology. Without consultant services the IT and Cybersecurity divisions would need additional staffing and budget to conduct research.
DISCUSSION
Info-Tech Research Group provides the City with a number of resources including software and service reviews, monthly local government roundtable meetings, project blueprints, tool and templates, online workshops, training, unlimited analyst calls, contract reviews, industry research, industry benchmarking, and a dedicated executive advisor.
In the last year, City staff have leveraged many tools, templates, training resources, analysis calls, advisory calls, and industry research resources. The City will be leveraging Info-Tech’s online workshop in January to conduct an IT and Cybersecurity strategic plan. Last year the City also conducted five assessments from Info-Tech including:
CIO Business Vision InfoTech Assessment
Security Business Satisfaction & Alignment Assessment
61 End User Satisfaction Survey
Security Governance & Management Scorecard Assessment
CIO/CEO Alignment Assessment
Staff recommends Council authorize execution of the renewal subscription agreement with Info-Tech Research Group under their Federal GSA supply schedule for a three-year term not-to-exceed $170,000.
The Federal GSA supply schedule is a long-term governmentwide contract with commercial firms providing federal, state, and local government buyers access to more than 11 million commercial supplies (products) and services at volume discount pricing. By leveraging the Federal GSA schedule the City ensures a best value prices for those product and services.
The use of the Federal GSA supply schedule is authorized by Livermore Municipal Code 2.68.390 "
Purchases of supplies and equipment through cooperative purchasing arrangements."
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
An appropriation for Info-Tech Research Group subscription already exists in both years of the current budget as part of the Cybersecurity Fund (725), therefore no additional appropriation is necessary.
Appropriations sufficient to cover future year's licensing costs will be incorporated into future budget cycles for approval.

91 A college degree is a valuable asset and communicates the caliber of the employee. Info-Tech Research Group (ITRG) has a standard commercial practice of allowing educa -
tion to be substituted for years of experience as shown in our Education Substitution Methodology (e.g. a Bachelor’s degree may be substituted for 4 years of required experience with a high school diploma). From ITRG’s years of experi - ence observing employee development, ITRG has deter-
mined that a beginner with a college degree is most likely to perform the work requirements to meet the quality assur- ance standards of the company.
ITRG has also found that actual on-the-job training (performing a job under the tutelage of a senior-level experienced man - ager) is an exceptionally valuable way to teach an employee how to perform a job that meets the high-quality standards expected by clients. ITRG has found that a non-degreed
employee after 4 years of specific experience in a position begins to perform at the same level as the degreed individual.
Therefore, ITRG also has a standard commercial practice of allowing experience to be substituted for education as shown in our Experience Substitution methodology (e.g.
high school diploma and 4 years of additional experience equals a Bachelor’s degree).

Accessing Info-Tech Services
Our Services include an easy-to-administrate access model that will allow maximum access by IT team members. Each Research Member is assigned a username and password
and receives a new user tour upon registration.
Our services are provided via the web and are supported on the following web browsers:
•
Chrome 55+
• Edge 12+
• Firefox 52+
• Safari 10+
• IE 11+
It is possible that our web-based services
will run without
issue on older software; however, we do not currently actively test using browser versions older than those listed above.
All online downloads are available in either MS Office or PDF formats and may also be available in compressed ZIP archives of the same formats.
We have clients in a wide variety of locations and time zones, and we accommodate them based on the times that
are common to our respective time zones.
Analysts are available at their earliest opportunity, but due to the amount of preparation involved, a minimum of 24 hours lead time is required. Generally, if there are no travel compli- cations, analysts are available within 2-3 business days of the request.
Dedicated Account Management
Info-Tech will provide members (license/seat holders) with an Account Manager who will be the main point of contact for all IT research & advisory service requirements.
These requirements include (but are not limited to):
•
Onboarding all new members via teleconference.
• Creation and delivery of a K ey Initiative Plan to align Info-Tech resources to the user’s specific requirements and needs based on role and upcoming technology
projects.
•
Handle all basic service requests (adding/deleting mem- bers, sending documents, answering all membership
questions, sending usage r
eports, renewal duties, etc.).
• Book advisory services for members such as analyst
calls, Guided Implementation calls, Workshop r
equests,
contract review calls, data-driven diagnostic benchmark- ing programs, etc.
•
Scheduled touchpoint to ensure maximum usage b
y the
members.
Info-Tech’s Account Manager will be one dedicated person supported by a team. Users will also have access to
Info-Tech’s entire bench of research analysts and subject matter experts to guide them through technology projects via their advisory services access. It is important to note that while the Account Manager will be one dedicated
person, members will have access to hundreds of IT experts through their account manager and membership subscription services.
All these management services are included within the over- all services offered to Info-Tech members. Please note it is Info-Tech’s mission to ensure our services are used, not just read. We will work with your team tirelessly to ensure all named members get the absolute most out of their mem -
bership and drive year-over-year services to provide ongoing and dedicated support to project success and sustainability.
Info-Tech has self-serve options in terms of booking calls, di- agnostic programs, requesting research, etc. on our site that the members will all have access to. However, the dedicated Counselors and account management team will have devel- oped project and technology plans to drive the membership services unique to the specific needs of the various members and shape the research and project assistance over a 12- month span. Info-Tech’s dedicated account manager will
also work with non-named users via the named users for
training program access and shared research and advisory service inclusion access.

•
It was in the public domain at the time of communica-

y the Disclosing Party;
• It entered the public domain through no fault of the
Receiving Par
ty subsequent to the time of disclosure

SUMMARY
Housing Consortium of the East Bay (HCEB), the sole managing member of the Tri Valley BMR, LLC, is developing a mixed-use affordable housing project with community-serving facilities known as the Vineyard 2.0 project. Located at 460 North Livermore Avenue, the Vineyard 2.0 project will provide 23 permanent supportive homes for people experiencing homelessness as well as dedicated, permanent infrastructure to address the food and service needs of persons at risk of and experiencing homelessness in Livermore and their nonprofit service providers. HCEB has worked with the City to finalize a financing plan for the project that includes a request to the City for a Development Loan of $3,640,522 in City Housing funds and a Human Services Facility Grant of $1,620,135. In addition, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors awarded the City of Livermore with $1,500,000 in Alameda County Non-Housing Residual Property Taxes (“Boomerang Funds”) for the purposes of supporting the development of the Vineyard 2.0 project. If the staff-recommended loan and grant agreements are approved, HCEB will move forward with closing escrow on its construction loan and commence construction.
DISCUSSION
In 2017 and 2018, the Livermore City Council approved funding for Housing Consortium of the East Bay (HCEB), the sole managing member of the Tri Valley BMR, LLC, to finance initial predevelopment and acquisition expenses necessary to acquire the property located at 460 North Livermore Avenue (the “Vineyard Site”) and design a mixed-use affordable housing project with community-serving facilities known as the Vineyard 2.0 project (the “Project”).
On May 5, 2020, the Livermore Planning Commission approved entitlements for the redevelopment of the Vineyard site with three new buildings containing 23 apartments for extremely low-income households earning between 20 to 30 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), an onsite manager’s apartment, a resource center for the neighborhood and individuals who are homeless, and a food service kitchen operated by the local non-profit Open Heart Kitchen.
The Vineyard 2.0 project is consistent with the City’s Housing First Initiative, a comprehensive strategy to reduce homelessness. The project also provides dedicated, permanent infrastructure to address the food and service needs of persons at risk of and experiencing homelessness in Livermore and their nonprofit service providers. All housing units, except for the manager’s unit, will be affordable to households earning 20 to 30 percent of Area Median Income (AMI). Since the project will receive funding from Alameda County Measure A1 bonds and the State of California, the project is also subject to regulatory agreements with those entities.
HCEB has engaged with the City, a variety of agencies, civic organizations, and faith-based volunteer groups to seek input on services, identify community partners, design facilities to accommodate the programming, and create a site layout. Future service partners and volunteer groups engaged by HCEB to provide services at the site once developed include: Open Heart Kitchen, CityServe of the Tri-Valley, the Livermore Homeless Refuge, and volunteer programs hosted by the congregations in Livermore that provide showers, washing services, mail, breakfast and clothing programs.
On December 8, 2020, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors awarded the City of Livermore with $1,500,000 in Alameda County Non-Housing Residual Property Taxes (“Boomerang Funds”) for the purposes of supporting the development of the Vineyard 2.0 project. On November 19, 2021, the City 140
requested written concurrence from Alameda County that the Grant Agreement with HCEB attached to this item’s Resolution as Exhibit C, and plan for distribution of the funds is consistent with the intent of the Board’s action on December 8, 2020. While staff anticipates that the County will concur, such concurrence has not yet been received, and as such, staff requests that the City Council authorize the City Attorney to make and approve final edits to the agreement form if requested by the County in order to prevent a delay of escrow closing for the Vineyard project.
HCEB has worked with the City to finalize a financing plan for the Project that includes the City’s existing $2,270,000 Acquisition Loan and $855,000 Predevelopment Loan, as well as a request for additional support for development of the housing and services components. Because of the extremely low rents and nonprofit uses, HCEB cannot afford monthly debt payments on the project and has identified a variety of public funding sources and private donations that will enable them to keep rents affordable for the residential and nonprofit tenants. HCEB’s current funding request to the City for a Development Loan of $3,640,522 leverages over $13.7 million in other State, local and private funds to develop the Project.
If approved, the City’s new Development Loan would be evidenced through the Affordable Housing Loan Agreement, and Promissory Note secured by a Deed of Trust. As a condition of receiving the loan funds, the project developer also agrees to execute a 55-Year Residential Regulatory Agreement to rent-restrict units for extremely low-income households and establish property maintenance and management standards.
In addition to the Development Loan, HCEB also requests a grant of $1,620,135 from the City’s Human Services Facility Fund (Fund 333) to construct the Vineyard project’s community-serving facilities. Grant funds will be used for costs related to the development of the housing resource center that will offer social services for people experiencing homelessness as well as the commercial kitchen that will be operated by Open Heart Kitchen and expand their meal production capacity. The City will also record a 55 Year Services Facility Regulatory Agreement in order to ensure that the facilities continue to benefit low-income individuals in Livermore and operate in a manner consistent with the Social and Human Services Facility Fee Ordinance.
If the loan and grant agreements are approved, HCEB will move forward with closing escrow on its construction loan by January 31, 2022. Construction is expected to commence within ninety (90) days of the close of escrow and to be completed 24 months after construction begins.
The City’s loan and regulatory agreements also allow for subordination to other approved lenders, and staff recommends City Council approve the execution of the Subordination Agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank and Alameda County, substantially in the form provided and subject to final approval by the City Attorney. The execution of these agreements will establish the priority of liens and regulatory agreements between the lenders. As proposed, the order will not adversely affect the City’s financial interest in the property, nor its regulatory interest in restricting the use to affordable housing for people experiencing homelessness.
Staff recommends approval of the Affordable Housing Loan Agreement, Amended and Restated Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement, Social and Human Services Facility Fee Grant Agreement and Regulatory Agreement, County of Alameda Grant Agreement, and all other related documents authorized and described in those agreements. The coexistence of housing units that support the City’s Housing First initiative, along with food and support services for persons experiencing homelessness, exemplifies the comprehensive strategies and partnerships needed to achieve a reduction of homelessness.
141
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
At present there are no appropriations for the Development Loan and Human Services Facilities Grant in the current budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22. The recommended action includes supplemental appropriations of $1,182,772 from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (Fund 611), $2,457,750 from the Housing Successor Agency Fund (Fund 609), $1,620,135 from the Human Services Facility Fee Fund (Fund 333), and $1,500,000 from the General Fund for a total appropriation of $6,760,657.
Appropriations in the General Fund will be offset by the $1,500,000 received by the City for Boomerang Funds awarded by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors for the Vineyard 2.0 project.
Per the terms of the Affordable Housing Loan Agreement, the development loan will accrue three percent (3%) annual interest for a 55-year term and be payable, customary with other City affordable housing loans, from any residual cash generated by the future project once developed after all expenses and debt service obligations have been met.

ARTICLE IX
SECURITY FINANCING AND RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEES
9.1 Mortgages and Deeds of Trust for Development. Mortgages and deeds of trust, or any other reasonable security instrument may be placed upon the Property with City’s consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, only for the purpose of securing loans for the purpose of financing the acquisition of the Property, the design and construction of the Improvements, and other expenditures reasonably necessary for development of the Project pursuant to this Agreement. As used herein, the terms “mortgage” and “deed of trust” shall mean any security instrument used in financing real estate acquisition, construction and land development.
9.2 Subordination. The City agrees that City will not withhold consent to reasonable requests for subordination of the Deed of Trust to deeds of trust provided for the benefit of lenders providing financing for the Project, provided that the instruments effecting such subordination include reasonable protections to the City in the event of default, including without limitation, extended notice and cure rights and the rights set forth in Section 9.4 below.
Any agreement by the City to subordinate the Deed of Trust to security for the Approved Senior Loan, or any loan obtained by Borrower to refinance an Approved Senior Loan, is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:
All of the proceeds of the proposed Senior Loan, less any transaction costs, must be used to provide construction and/or permanent financing for the Project.
The proposed lender of a Senior Loan (each a "Senior Lender") must be a state or federally chartered financial institution, a nonprofit corporation, or a public entity that is not affiliated with Borrower or any of Borrower's affiliates, other than as a depositor or a lender.

CC Contract No. 22-005
EXHIBIT A
171
viability
of the Project, including the operation of the Project as affordable housing, as required by the City Documents. [NOTE: "City Loan Documents" not defined.] To satisfy this requirement, Borrower must provide to the City, in addition to any other information reasonably required by the City, evidence demonstrating that the proposed amount of the Senior Loan is necessary to provide adequate acquisition, construction, and/or permanent financing to ensure the viability of the Project, and adequate financing for the Project would not be available without the proposed subordination.
The subordination of the County Loan is effective only during the original term of the Senior Loan and any extension of its term that is approved in writing by the County.
Upon a determination by the City Manager, or his designee, that the conditions in this Section have been satisfied, the City Manager will be authorized to execute the approved subordination agreement without the necessity of any further action or approval.
9.3 Notice of Default and Right to Cure. Whenever City delivers any notice of default hereunder, City shall concurrently deliver a copy of such notice to each holder of record of any mortgage or deed of trust secured by the Property or the Improvements, provided that City has been provided with the address for delivery of such notice. City shall have no liability to any such holder for any failure by the City to provide such notice to such holder. Each such holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its option, to cure or remedy any such default or breach within the cure period provided to Borrower extended by an additional sixty (60) days. In the event that possession of the Property or the Improvements (or any portion thereof) is required to effectuate such cure or remedy, the holder shall be deemed to have timely cured or remedied the default if it commences the proceedings necessary to obtain possession of the Property or Improvements, as applicable, within the applicable cure period, diligently pursues such proceedings to completion, and after obtaining possession, diligently completes such cure or remedy. A holder who chooses to exercise its right to cure or remedy a default or breach shall first notify City of its intent to exercise such right prior to commencing to cure or remedy such default or breach. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to permit or authorize such holder to undertake or continue the construction of the Project (beyond the extent necessary to conserve or protect the same) without first having expressly assumed in writing Borrower’s obligations to City under this Agreement. The holder in that event must agree to complete, in the manner provided in this Agreement, the Project and the Improvements and submit evidence reasonably satisfactory to City that it has the development capability on staff or retainer and the financial capacity necessary to perform such obligations. Any such holder properly completing the Project pursuant to this Section shall assume all rights and obligations of Borrower under this Agreement.
9.4 City Right to Cure Defaults. In the event of a breach or default by Borrower under a mortgage or deed of trust secured by the Property or the Improvements, City may cure the default, without acceleration of the subject loan, following prior notice thereof to the holder of such instrument and Borrower. In such event, Borrower shall be liable for, and City shall be entitled to reimbursement from Borrower for all costs and expenses incurred by City associated with and attributable to the curing of the default or breach and such sum shall constitute a part of the indebtedness secured by the City Deed of Trust.
