Subject: Construction Contract Award: Sewer System Repair Program, Project WW-01001 March 14, 2023 Page 3
Purpose
Award the construction contract for the Total Bid for the Sewer System Repair Program Project WW-01001 to Casey Construction, Inc. as the lowest responsible bidder submitting a responsive bid in the amount not-to-exceed $778,550.

Background
This project scope includes realigning and replacing five sewer main segments, located along First Street between San Antonio Road and Main Street in Downtown Los Altos. This comprises a total of 1,479 linear feet of sewer pipes replacement. The existing 6-inch sewer pipes will be replaced with new 8-inch sewer pipes to increase capacity. On March 7, 2021, the City Manager executed an agreement with Bellecci & Associates for design and construction services for the project, which includes completion of a preliminary design assessment, design, bid support, and construction support in the amount of $189,982. On November 16, 2021, the City Manager executed an amendment No. 1 with Bellecci & Associates for the additional services requested by the City in the amount of $19,512, which included performing a flow analysis of the existing 6-in sewer pipes downstream of the project limits.

The sewer main segments were identified in the 2013 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update as segments that need replacement due to the existing sewer pipe materials. In addition, realigning the pipe segments will provide clearance from potential future sidewalks and curbs, which will resolve potential maintenance issues.

Discussion/Analysis
On February 2, 2023, six bids were opened for the project. The bid results are included in Attachment 1. The project consists of realigning and replacing five sewer main segments, located along First Street between San Antonio Road and Main Street in Downtown Los Altos. It is recommended that the award of the construction contract for the project be made to Casey Construction, Inc., as the lowest responsive bidder submitting a bid in the amount not-to-exceed $778,550 and up to 15% contingency funds in the amount not-to-exceed $116,783 be approved for potential unforeseen conditions during construction.

Casey Construction, Inc. has no claims against its contractor’s license. There are no open violations for Casey Construction, Inc. listed in the Federal Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) database. Casey Construction, Inc. has been in business for over 35 years and has satisfactorily completed similar projects for the City of Redwood City, City of Palo Alto, City of Mountain View, and the City of San Jose.

Receive the Investment Portfolio Report through December 31, 2022. 17 Agenda Item # 3.

Subject: Quarterly Investment Portfolio Report – Quarter Ended December 31, 2022 February 21, 2023 Page 2
Purpose
These quarterly reports are presented to both the City Council and the Financial Commission to keep both bodies apprised as to the status of the City’s investment holding and demonstrate compliance with the City’s Investment Policy.

Background
A review of the Investment Portfolio Report Quarter Ended December 31, 2022 was presented and discussed by the Financial Commission on February 27, 2023. The Financial Commission reviewed the Quarterly Investment Portfolio Report ending December 31, 2022, and had a brief discussion.

Discussion/Analysis
The summary provided below presents the sum of all City investment holdings. The City’s portfolio par value and market value, including LAIF but excluding operating cash, as of December 31, 2022, was $59,002,231 and $57,005,621 respectively. The City’s operating cash, as of December 31, 2022, was $10,149,644.

As of December 31, 2022, 7.4% of the City’s portfolio was placed in Federal Agency Securities (Fannie Mae, Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Home Loan Mortgage, and Federal Farm Credit),

13.8% in Asset-Backed Securities, 1.6% in Supra-National Agency Bond, 35.2% in US Treasuries,

23.4% in medium-term Corporate Notes and Commercial Paper, and 3.1% in Certificate of Deposits, with the balance of 15.5% in LAIF. This portfolio mix is illustrated as part of Attachment 1 with LAIF balance and performance as Attachments 3 and 4.

Full compliance with the City’s Investment Policy is monitored closely and on a per-trade basis as illustrated in Attachment 2. In accordance with California Government Code 53646(b)(3), the City of Los Altos has the ability to meet its pool expenditure requirements for the next six months.

As part of these quarterly updates, a status report is prepared by PFM which is included as Attachment 5: Investment Performance Review for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2022. It is important to note that this report highlights the performance of City investments that fall outside its liquid holdings with LAIF. This has been intentionally crafted to isolate the performance of the City’s independently managed investments. The return of the portfolio over ten years is 0.88%, which is highlighted on page 21 of the PFM Investment Performance Review Report (Attachment 5).

Recommendation
Receive the Investment Portfolio Report Quarter Ended December 31, 2022 18 Agenda Item # 3.

Fixed-Income Sector Commentary – 4Q 2022
▸ U.S. Treasury yields settled into a wide range after
surging for the first three quarters of the year. Theresult of more stable yields was generally positivereturns for the quarter. ▸ Federal agency bullet spreads finally broke single
digits and climbed to the widest levels in the past 12months for certain maturities. Callable structures wereattractive early in the quarter as new issues came tomarket at wide levels on the heels of historically highbond volatility. ▸ Supranational issuance fell notably short of
expectations in Q4 limiting new investmentopportunities. Liquidity was better than that of federalagencies, which provided some ability to swap intoother sectors which were more attractive. ▸ Investment-Grade Corporate yield spreads
fluctuated in Q4 underscoring the historic levels ofvolatility experienced throughout the year. Afterreaching post-pandemic wides in late October, creditspreads reversed, ending the quarter modestly tighter.The sector generated strong excess returns in Q4 andbuoyed portfolio returns relative to benchmarks. ▸ Asset-Backed yield spreads lagged the narrowing
move in the corporate sector for much of Q4 butrallied into year end, ending the quarter only modestlywider than where they began. ABS and IG corporatespreads diverged markedly in November, growing tothe widest margin since 2020 and leading to a yearend rally which brought performance just shy ofmatched-duration U.S. Treasuries. ▸ Mortgage-Backed Securities reversed course in Q4
after the dreadful negative returns for the first threequarters of 2022. Although still negative for the year,excess returns on MBS were near top-of-classamongst investment-grade options in Q4. ▸ Taxable Municipal issuance remained
underwhelming as deals were heavily oversubscribed,dragging spreads lower, while secondary inventory atattractive levels was sparse. ▸ The short-term credit (commercial paper and CDs)
yield curve was notably steep throughout the quarteras the market priced the expectation for further Fedrate increases. The aggressive pace of those ratehikes created valuable opportunities in floating-ratesecurities.

AGENDA REPORT SUMMARY

Prepared By:

Development Services Director
NZ
Meeting Date: March 14, 2023
Subject: Housing Element implementing ordinance for certain provisions of Housing Program 3.H and 3.K of the Adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element.

Prepared by: Nick Zornes, Development Services Director Reviewed by: Jolie Houston, City Attorney
Approved by: Jon Maginot, Assistant City Manager
Attachment(s): 1. Draft City Council Ordinance with Appendix A, B, C, and D

2. CSC Comprehensive Review
Initiated by: Adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element 2023-2031 Program 3.H and 3.K Fiscal Impact
No fiscal impacts to the City of Los Altos are associated with the draft ordinance. However, it is important to note that should the adoption of this ordinance not take place the City of Los Altos runs the risk of losing State funding (grants, etc.), and potential legal fees and penalties associated with housing element noncompliance.

Environmental Review
The proposed ordinance is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State Guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970.

Staff Recommendation

1. Adopt, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Los Altos Amending Chapters

2.08, 12.44, 13.04, 14.76, and 14.78 of the Los Altos Municipal Code to Implement Certain Provisions of Program 3.H of the Sixth Cycle Housing Element Update and consider findings that the City Council’s action in adopting the ordinance exempt from review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) and that none of the circumstances in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies. 91 Agenda Item # 4.

Summary and Key Considerations
The draft ordinance before the City Council is to implement adopted programs from the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element 2023-2031. These actions are called out in the adopted housing element and were designed to remove any barriers or impediments to the creation of new housing within Los Altos. Additionally, there are amendments to the municipal which further clean up each Chapter which is required to be amended in order to implement the housing program.

Background
On January 24, 2023, the Los Altos City Council adopted the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element 2023-2031. As required by law the adopted housing element has several housing programs contained within. The City of Los Altos identified specific programs in its housing element that will allow it to implement the stated policies and achieve the stated goals and objectives.

Programs must include specific action steps the City will take to implement its policies and achieve its goals and objectives. Programs must also include a specific timeframe for implementation, identify the agencies or officials responsible for implementation, describe the city’s specific role in implementation, and (whenever possible) identify specific, measurable outcomes.

Analysis
The City’s adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element 2023-2031, included Program 3.H. The housing program contains several deliverables of those the following necessitate the proposed ordinance amendments: 1. Consolidation of the Design Review Commission and Planning Commission, 2. Designate the Development Services Director as the review authority for projects of five or fewer residential units, 3. Limit the Number of Public Hearing to no more than three (3) for Design Review projects only, 4. Designate the City Council only as the Appeal Authority for Land Use decisions, 5. Clarify that appeal of decisions on housing developments shall be only on objective standards and must be filed within 14 calendar days (this has been highlighted in yellow below). The draft ordinance included in this agenda packet effectively completes these deliverables as explicitly called out within the housing program.

Subject: Housing Element implementing ordinance for certain provisions of Housing Program 3.H and 3.K of the Adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element.

March 14, 2023 Page 3
Program 3.H: Amend design review process and requirements.

The City’s Design Review Commission and Planning Commission had previously been one commission with a Design Review Committee comprised of two assigned Planning Commissioners. In recent years the purview of land use and design review was split into two separate commissions, currently the Planning Commission and Design Review Commission. The current structure of the Design Review Commission is a five-person body appointed by the City Council, while the Planning Commission is a seven-person body.

Recent changes in State law drastically reduced the Design Review Commission’s purview, and the City’s well-developed objective design standards for a variety of development types (adopted in 2021) effectively created an Administrative Design Review that has been well implemented by City staff. In order to remove constraints arising from design review, the City will:
• Consolidate the Design Review Commission and Planning Commission into one body comprised of a maximum of seven appointed residents which will review mixed-use, multi-family and commercial developments, consistent with the majority of jurisdictions throughout the County of Santa Clara;
• Eliminate 3rd party independent architect review (which applies to projects in the downtown);
• Amend its Zoning Code to allow any design review and discretionary approvals for a project of five or fewer units to be approved by the Development Services Director; • When hearings are required, limit the number of hearings for solely design review approval (i.e., not including subdivision maps or other applications that may be involved) to no more than three hearings;
• Develop standard conditions of approval to provide consistency and certainty to applicants and approving bodies;
• Modify its design review process and applicability thresholds so that City Council serves only as the decision-making authority for appeal of design review and land use decisions, consistent with the majority of jurisdictions throughout the County of Santa Clara;
• Clarify that decisions on appeals of housing developments must be based on objective standards consistent with State law and any appeal filed with the City shall be done within 14 calendar days post project approval; and
• Amend its Zoning Code to ensure that housing developments and emergency shelters are only subject to objective design standards consistent with State law. 93 Agenda Item # 4.

Responsible Body: Development Services Department, Planning Commission, City Council
Funding Source: General Fund
Time Frame: Any code amendments required to be completed by December 2023; Design Review Commission to be dismissed and duties reassigned to Development Services Director upon local adoption of the 6th Cycle Los Altos Housing Element or sooner.

Evaluate progress and take additional action if improvements in the design review process have not resulted by January 2027.

Objective: The time for City review of and action on residential, mixed-use and multifamily developments will be shortened compared to typical processing times (see Appendix C, Table C-8) with the reduction of discretionary reviews and commissions.

Additionally, the City’s adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element 2023-2031, included Program

3.K. The housing program contains one overarching goal of streamlining the development review for multimodal transportation requirements. The proposed zoning ordinance implements the city’s adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element Program 3.K as the adopted program explicitly commits the City of Los Altos that housing developments will no longer undergo review by the Complete Streets Commission.

Program 3.K: Standardize multimodal transportation requirements.

An application for City Council design review is subject to a multimodal transportation review by the Complete Streets Commission as part of the approval process in order to assess potential project impacts to various modes of transportation. The City will streamline the Development Review process for multi-family housing projects by adoption of Development Standards for multimodal transportation such as bicycle, pedestrian, parking traffic and public transportation issues. The development of standards will no longer require housing development projects to be reviewed by the Complete Streets Commission. The City Council will utilize previous recommendations and approvals as a basis for the creation of the development standards in consultation with the appointed Complete Streets Commission. A recommendation by the Complete Streets Commission on Bicycle Stall, Storage and Charging shall be made timely and considered at no more than two hearings; final recommendation to the City Council shall be made no later than May 2023.

Responsible Body: Development Services Department, Complete Streets Commission, City Council

Discussion
The actions included within the attached draft ordinance are requirements pursuant to the City’s adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element. Once a jurisdiction takes final action by adopting its housing element this requires immediate action in order to remain compliant with State housing law. The City of Los Altos Housing Element contains 26 major action items or milestones that must be completed within the first 12-months post adoption. The draft ordinance will effectively accomplish the majority of 2 of the 26 items or milestones to be achieved in the first 12-months.

Some of the action items to be completed are quicker than others which is why these items are before the City Council now for adoption. The City of Los Altos does not have a robust or large Planning Division and several of the items to be completed within the first year will take a great amount of time; all items included in the draft ordinance are required to maintain compliance with HCD.

February 28, 2023, City Council Ordinance Introduction
On February 28, 2023, at the City Council public hearing the draft ordinance was introduced. The item was well discussed by the City Council and commented on by the public. The Development Services Director provided extensive analysis of the potential modifications to the draft ordinance and advised the City Council that in order to remain consistent with the recently adopted housing element and compliant with housing law they should introduce the draft ordinance as proposed.

The City Council requested to modify the draft ordinance to allow for the effectiveness of the multimodal transportation review to begin on January 1, 2024.

Following additional discussion regarding multimodal transportation review the City Council was advised that the Complete Streets Commission does not have purview to review housing developments. The Complete Streets Commission serves as an advisory body appointed by the City Council and does not have quasi-judicial powers and duties as established in the Los Altos Municipal Code Section 2.08.160.
95 Agenda Item # 4.

Subject: Housing Element implementing ordinance for certain provisions of Housing Program 3.H and 3.K of the Adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element.

March 14, 2023 Page 6
The Complete Street Commission was formed in late 2017 after it concurrently dissolved the Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Commission while also restructuring the purview of the Planning & Transportation Commission to only serve as a traditional Planning Commission. At that time the purview of the Complete Streets Commission was established by ordinance and assigned its powers and duties in Chapter 2.08.

In 2019, City Staff initiated a code amendment to clarify the role of the Complete Streets Commission within the Zoning Code as reflected in Section 14.78.090 however did not concurrently amend the powers and duties authorized within the municipal code. This has created an inconsistent municipal and zoning code.

Shortly after the above mentioned amendments were processed by staff, the governor signed into law Senate Bill No. 330 (SB330). In short SB330 does not allow any public agency to enforce a subjective standard, condition or policy on any housing development. In order to be applied equally and fairly to all housing projects a standard must be objective and in place prior to the initial submittal. “Objective” means involving no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and being uniformly verifiable by reference to an external uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official. (Government Code Section 65589.5(h)(8)). As extended by Senate Bill No. 8, all requirements of SB330 are in effect until January 1, 2030, which means that in order for the City of Los Altos to legally enforce requirements against any housing development the city must create objective standards to be equally applied to all projects.

As it remains today the City of Los Altos has very few adopted multimodal transportation standards which have been requested by the Complete Streets Commission at a public hearing.

After review of all 57 meeting agendas of the Complete Streets Commission since the first meeting in January 2018 the commission has reviewed 15 different housing developments; 3 of the 15 were pre-application reviews which would allow the consideration and input of the Complete Streets Commission. After further analysis there is a clear trend of what the commission has “requested” or “recommended” of housing developments which includes: 1. Additional Bike Parking/Storage above the recommended amount by VTA, 2. Provide electrical outlets for e-Bike charging, 3.

Increased Sidewalk Width adjacent to developments, 4. Additional EV Parking. Of the four main requested modifications to housing developments two (2) are being presented to the Complete Streets and Planning Commission on March 16, 2023. Of the remaining two items that are most frequently requested by the commission one (sidewalk widths) would be a modification of 96 Agenda Item # 4.

standards with the Public Works Department to require in the early design and development phases of a project, while the other (Number of EV Stalls) does not fall under the purview of the Complete Streets Commission and is something that is established by the Building Code, and local amendments recommended by the Environmental Commission. Attachment #2 provides a comprehensive review of what the Complete Streets Commission has reviewed over the last 5- years, while also providing detail of the requests or recommendations they have made of housing developments within the City of Los Altos.

As mentioned previously the Zoning Code Amendment for Bicycle Parking/Storage is set for hearing on March 16, 2023, and is two of the four main requests of the commission; one of the four (EV Stalls) is not of the purview of the commission. Until standards are codified into the Los Altos Municipal Code any recommendation or request of the Complete Streets Commission is unenforceable.

Penalties for Noncompliance of Adopted Housing Element:

Should the Los Altos City Council not introduce the draft ordinance the City will be vulnerable to penalties and consequences of housing element noncompliance. HCD is authorized to review any action or failure to act by a local government that it determines is inconsistent with an adopted housing element or housing element law. This includes failure to implement program actions included in the housing element. HCD may revoke housing element compliance if the local governments actions do not comply with state law. Examples of penalties and consequence of housing element noncompliance:
• General Plan Inadequacy: the housing element is a mandatory element of the General Plan.

When a jurisdictions housing element is found to be out of compliance, its General Plan could be found inadequate, and therefore invalid. Local governments with an invalid General Plan can no longer make permitting decisions.
• Legal Suites and Attorney Fees: local governments with noncompliant housing elements are vulnerable to litigation from housing rights’ organization, developers, and HCD. If a jurisdiction faces a court action stemming from its lack of compliance and either loses or settles the case, it often must pay substantial attorney fees to the plaintiff’s attorneys in addition to the fees paid by its own attorneys. Potential consequences of lawsuits include:
mandatory compliance within 120 days, suspension of local control on building matters, and court approval of housing developments.
97 Agenda Item # 4.

Subject: Housing Element implementing ordinance for certain provisions of Housing Program 3.H and 3.K of the Adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element.

March 14, 2023 Page 8
• Loss of Permitting Authority: courts have authority to take local government residential and nonresidential permit authority to bring the jurisdiction’s General Plan and housing element into substantial compliance with State law. The court may suspend the locality’s authority to issue building permits or grant zoning changes, variances, or subdivision map approvals – giving local governments a strong incentive to bring its housing element into compliance.
• Financial Penalties: court-issued judgement directing the jurisdictions to bring its housing element into substantial compliance with state housing element law. If a jurisdictions housing element continues to be found out of compliance, courts can multiply financial penalties by a factor of six.
• Court Receivership: courts may appoint an agent with all powers necessary to remedy identified housing element deficiencies and bring the jurisdiction’s housing element into substantial compliance with housing element law.

Petition for Writ of Mandate – California Housing Defense Fund, Yes In My Back Yard v. City of Cupertino.

So that the City Council and public are well-informed the City of Los Altos has included this information with this agenda item so that all circumstances are understood as housing law is rapidly evolving.

As of Friday, February 3, 2023, Californians for Homeownership, California Housing Defense Fund, and YIMBY Law had filed 12 lawsuits in Contra Costa, Santa Clara, Marin, and San Mateo County Superior Courts with the intention to file more in the coming weeks. The cities and counties sued include: Belvedere, Burlingame, Cupertino, Daly City, Fairfax, Martinez, Novato, Palo Alto, Pinole, Pleasant Hill, Richmond, and Santa Clara County. Each municipality has been sued by one or two of the non-profits.

With the Bay Area’s 109 cities and counties at widely varied stages in the process of Housing Element adoption and compliance, these twelve lawsuits mark the first round of what will likely be many rounds of judicial review for noncompliance with state housing law in the Bay Area. The initial lawsuits focus on cities with a long history of exclusionary housing practices, cities that adopted housing elements unlawfully, and localities that have made little progress in developing their draft housing elements. The organizations will continue to file suits in the coming weeks, prioritizing cities with the most egregious violations in each organization’s judgment.

A Petition for Writ of Mandate in the State of California is used by superior courts, courts of appeal and the Supreme Court to command lower bodies (such as lower level of government agencies, in 98 Agenda Item # 4.

Subject: Housing Element implementing ordinance for certain provisions of Housing Program 3.H and 3.K of the Adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element.

March 14, 2023 Page 9
this case a city) to do or not do specific actions. In this case, a Writ of Mandate can result in the city being directed to adopt a compliant housing element or other associated actions in order to comply with State law. A Writ of Mandate could also be petitioned for and direct a city to specifically implement programs that were included in their adopted housing element.

Given the current legal climate around housing element law it is vital for the City of Los Altos to expeditiously implement the adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element 2023-2031. As noted above the potential legal risks associated with housing element noncompliance could be further enforced by similar legal actions.

Planning Commission Recommendation (February 16, 2023)
The Planning Commission considered this item on February 16, 2023, at its regularly scheduled meeting. During the consideration of this item the Planning Commission accepted the draft ordinance with staff recommended amendments as well as providing further clarifying amendments which have been incorporated into the draft ordinance. At that time no public comments were received which spoke in opposition to the adoption of the changes presented within the draft ordinance.

Next Steps
The Draft Ordinance becomes effective 30-days post adoption. 99 Agenda Item # 4.

A. The proposal meets the goals, policies and objectives of the general plan and any specific plan, objective design guidelines and ordinance design criteria adopted for the specific district or area.

B. The proposal has architectural integrity and has an appropriate relationship with other structures in the immediate area in terms of height, bulk and design.

C. Building mass is articulated to relate to the human scale, both horizontally and vertically. Building elevations have variation and depth and avoid large blank wall surfaces. Residential or mixed-use residential projects incorporate elements that signal habitation, such as identifiable entrances, stairs, porches, bays and balconies.

Exterior materials and finishes convey high quality, integrity, permanence and durability, and materials are used effectively to define building elements such as base, body, parapets, bays, arcades and structural elements. Materials, finishes, and colors have been used in a manner that serves to reduce the perceived appearance of height, bulk and mass, and are harmonious with other structures in the immediate area.

E. Landscaping is generous and inviting, and landscape and hardscape features are designed to complement the building and parking areas, and to be integrated with the building architecture and the surrounding streetscape. Landscaping includes substantial street tree canopy, either in the public right-of-way or within the project frontage.

F. Signage is designed to complement the building architecture in terms of style, materials, colors and proportions.

G. Mechanical equipment is screened from public view and the screening is designed to be consistent with the building architecture in form, material and detailing.

H. Service, trash and utility areas are screened from public view, or are enclosed in structures that are consistent with the building architecture in materials and detailing. (Ord. No. 2012-382, § 1, 5-22-2012; Ord. No. 2016-423 , § 6, 9-27-2016; Ord. No. 2016-427 , § 3, 11-8-2016; Ord.

Agenda Item # 4.

March 9, 2023
Dear Mayor Meadows and City Council,
We are happy to see the City Council adopting Housing Element programs so quickly.

We share the Council’s concern about standards for multimodal transportation requirements for new developments. Half of the LAAHA steering committee are cyclists, and we all walk; every day we see the need for improvements to our cycling and walking infrastructure. We also share Director Zornes’ concern about staying within our authority, and not imposing requirements we are legally forbidden from imposing.

Thus far, the Complete Streets Commission (CSC) has been reviewing multifamily housing projects at the last minute. Every time, Complete Streets makes roughly the same suggestions: add more bike parking, make the bike parking better, improve non-car access to the building. These are the right requirements at the wrong time. Developers need to know our requirements in the initial design phase so they can design a building that accommodates cyclist and pedestrian needs from the start. It’s inefficient for everyone to impose these standards at the end of the entitlement phase instead of the beginning.

The City needs objective standards for multimodal transportation for our development projects. We urge the City to quickly instruct staff to bring this issue to CSC, which is the group with the expertise to craft those standards. Then Council can vet the standards and enact them into law.

Respectfully,
LAAHA Steering Committee
Los Altos Affordable Housing Alliance
Committed to educating and inspiring the Los Altos community to build housing that is affordable for those who live and work in Los Altos

Fiscal Impact:

AB 1276 imposes a state-mandated local program by creating a new infraction and imposing additional duties on local governing bodies. The City may incur costs for outreach, education, and enforcement of the law, as amended. By adopting an ordinance to enforce Chapter 5.2 (commencing with Section 42270) of Part 3 of Division 30 of the Public Resources Code, the City will be authorized to collect fines allowed under the legislation. Fines begin after the second notice of violation and include a fine of $25 for each day in violation, but not to exceed an annual total of $300.

Agenda Item # 7.

Environmental Review:

The adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15308 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for the Protection of the Environment) in that this Ordinance sets forth regulatory procedures for the protection of the environment including, more particularly, regulations prohibiting or limiting the use of foodware accessories and condiments that pose a substantial environmental threat for reasons set forth in this staff report. The adoption of this Ordinance does not involve construction activity or the relaxation of existing environmental standards, and none of the circumstances set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies.

Summary:
 On October 5, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (“AB”) 1276 (Carillo) into law to prohibit a food facility from providing any single-use foodware accessory or standard condiment, as defined, to a consumer unless requested by the consumer.  AB 1276, which amends Chapter 5.2 (commencing with Section 42270) of Part 3 of Division 30 of the Public Resources Code, requires a city, county, or city and county, to authorize an enforcement agency to enforce the new requirements.  Santa Clara County does not have plans at this time to enforce AB 1276 requirements in cities within the County, except for mobile food facilities.  In order to enforce the new law, staff recommend adopting the state law by reference to ensure that the language in the City’s Municipal Code remains consistent with the state law as it is currently written, and as it may be amended in the future. This approach will reduce the number of times that the City must revisit and readopt amended state law language.

There are additional procedural steps that the City must follow to adopt a state law by reference, as further described below.

Agenda Item # 7.

Subject: Introduce and waive further reading of an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Los Altos adding Chapter 6.45 (Single-use Foodware Accessories and Condiments) to Title 6 (Health and Safety) of the Los Altos Municipal Code adopting by reference Chapter 5.2 (commencing with section 42270) of Part 3 of Division 30 of the Public Resources Code prohibiting a food facility from providing any single-use foodware accessory or standard condiment unless requested by consumer and authorizing City and County enforcement and penalties, and set a Public Hearing on March 28, 2023 for the adoption of the Ordinance March 14, 2023 Page 3
AB 1276 Summary
 AB 1276 is designed to reduce excess packaging and undesired condiments and utensils from being given to a customer when eating on premises or taking food to go.  The law, as amended, is intended to give consumers more choices about single-use foodware accessories and condiments in order to reduce waste.  The law prohibits single-use foodware accessories from being bundled or packaged in a way that prohibits the customer from taking only the item desired.  It authorizes a food facility to ask a drive-through customer if the customer wants a singleuse foodware accessory in specified circumstances.  The law requires a food facility using a third-party food delivery platform to list on its menu the availability of single-use foodware accessories and standard condiments and to only provide those items when requested.
 The law excludes from these requirements correctional institutions, health care facilities, residential care facilities, and public and private school cafeterias.

The main provisions of AB 1276 are summarized below:

1. A food facility is required to only provide single-use accessories to consumers upon request;

2. A food facility is required to avoid bundling of single-use accessories or condiments;

3. A food facility is required to only offer those single-use items needed to eat or prevent spillage of the ready-to-eat food at a drive-through as well as in a public use airport.

4. A third-party food delivery platform shall provide consumers with the option to request single-use accessories for ready-to-eat food;

5. A food facility that uses a third-party platform shall customize their menu with a list of available single-use accessories or condiments. Only those items chosen by the consumer will be delivered. If no single-use accessories or condiments are requested none will be provided;

6. Unwrapped, single-use foodware accessories that are self-serve, standard condiments that are self-serve, and/or bulk dispensed condiments may still be used; and 154
Agenda Item # 7.

7. The first and second violations of the provisions result in a notice of violation, and any subsequent violation is an infraction punishable by a fine of $25 for each day in violation, but not to exceed an annual total of $300.

Ordinance Adopting State Law by Reference
In order to comply with AB 1276, the City must authorize an enforcement agency to enforce the provisions of this law. Staff propose that this be accomplished through adopting the entire state law (Attachment 1) by reference in the City’s Municipal Code. In order to adopt the state law by reference the City must follow the specific procedures required under Government Code Section 50022.1, et. seq.

Government Code Section 50022.4 requires any penalties to be set out in full. The proposed ordinance adopts the entire law by reference, authorizes the City and County to enforce the ordinance, and sets forth in full the penalties for violating the ordinance, establishing that the first and second violations of the provisions result in a notice of violation, and any subsequent violation is an infraction punishable by a fine of $25 for each day in violation, but not to exceed an annual total of $300.

Staff Recommendation:

1. Move to read the Ordinance by title only and waive the first reading beyond the title.

2. Introduce an Ordinance adding Chapter 6.45 (Single-Use Foodware Accessories and Condiments) to Title 6 (Health and Safety) of the Los Altos Municipal Code to adopt by reference Chapter 5.2 (commencing with Section 42270) of Part 3 of Division 30 of the Public Resources Code prohibiting a food facility from providing any single-use foodware accessory or standard condiment unless requested by consumer and authorizing City and County enforcement and penalties.

3. Set a Public hearing on March 28, 2023, for the adoption of the Ordinance pursuant to Government Code Section 50022.3.

The provisions of this chapter shall be enforced by the City of Los Altos, and may be enforced by the County of Santa Clara.

TOGETHER WITH CERTAIN AMENDMENTS, ADDITIONS, INSERTIONS, DELETIONS AND CHANGES THERETO.

WHEREAS, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill (“AB”) 1276 into law on October 5, 2021, which prohibits a food facility or a third-party food delivery platform from providing single-use food accessories, such as cutlery, straws and condiment packets, to a customer unless requested by the customer.

WHEREAS, prior to adoption of AB 1276, state law (AB 1884 (adopted 2018)) prohibited a full- service restaurant from providing single-use plastic straws to customers unless requested by the customer. The state law required the plastic straw regulation to be enforced by the local health and environmental health officers and their agents.

WHEREAS, AB 1276 revised the state law by expanding the scope from full-service restaurants to food facilities, which generally includes all retail food operations; expanded the scope from single-use plastic straws to single-use foodware accessories, which includes utensils, condiments, and straws (but does not include napkins); and revised the enforcement obligation from the local health and environmental health officers (as applicable to the City of Los Altos, this would be the Santa Clara County health official) to whichever entity cities and counties deem appropriate.

WHEREAS, AB 1276 is designed to reduce excess packaging and undesired condiments and implements from being given to a customer when eating on premises or taking food to go, and prohibits single-use foodware accessories from being bundled or packaged in a way that prohibits the customer from taking only the item desired. AB 1276 does, however, authorize a food facility to ask a drive-through customer, if the customer wants a 156

1 single-use foodware accessory in specified circumstances.

WHEREAS, a food facility using a third-party food delivery platform is required to list on its menu the availability of single-use foodware accessories and standard condiments and only provide those items when requested. The law excludes from these requirements correctional institutions, health care facilities, residential care facilities, and public and private school cafeterias.

WHEREAS, AB 1276 specifies that the first and second violations of the provisions result in a notice of violation, and any subsequent violation is an infraction punishable by a fine of $25 for each day in violation, but not to exceed an annual total of $300.

WHEREAS, a city, county, or city and county, on or before June 1, 2022, is required to authorize an enforcement agency to enforce the requirements established under AB 1276.

WHEREAS, Santa Clara County Recycling and Waste Reduction Commission informed the City that they do not currently anticipate that they will be in a position to assume enforcement responsibilities for AB 1276 on behalf of cites in the county.

WHEREAS, in order to comply with the enforcement requirements of AB 1276, the City Council of the City of Los Altos now wishes to adopt an ordinance adding Chapter 6.45 (Single-use Foodware Accessories and Condiments) to Title 6 (Health and Safety) of the Los Altos Municipal Code adopting by reference of Chapter 5.2 (commencing with Section 42270) of Part 3 of Division 30 of the Public Resources Code prohibiting a food facility from providing any single-use foodware accessory or standard condiment unless requested by consumer, and authorizing City and County enforcement.

WHEREAS, Government Code Section 50022.1, et. seq, sets forth the procedures by which a city may adopt a state law by reference.

WHEREAS, the City will comply with the procedures set forth in Government Code Section 50022.1, et. seq., including holding a public hearing at the second reading, following notice requirements under Government Code Section 6066, and making available the entire language of the state law to be adopted by reference.

WHEREAS, The adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15308 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for the Protection of the Environment) in that this Ordinance sets forth regulatory procedures for the protection of the environment including, more particularly, regulations prohibiting or limiting the use of foodware accessories and condiments that pose a substantial environmental threat for reasons set forth in this staff report.

Subject: AB 481 Military Equipment Use Annual Report
3/14/23 Page 3
Background
On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed a series of eight (8) policing reform legislation aimed at increasing transparency of peace officer misconduct records and creates a system to decertify peace officers for serious misconduct, improving policing responsibility and accountability guidelines, raising eligibility standards, banning harmful restraint techniques, and creates a public forum for the funding, acquisition and use of military equipment. Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481) was authored by Assemblymember David Chiu (D-San Francisco) to address the funding, acquisition and use of military equipment.

California Government Section 7071 requires a law enforcement agency’s military equipment policy, which includes the type of equipment the department may acquire and use, to be approved by the governing body. “Military equipment” is not related to whether or not the equipment was acquired through military sources. The Los Altos Police Department does not possess any equipment specifically designed for military use, nor has the department acquired any equipment through a military surplus program, commonly known as the 1033 Program. Our “military equipment” is included in the attached policy under inventory, and includes items such as patrol rifles, several less lethal force options, and training flash bangs utilized as diversionary devices by our SWAT team.

As part of the approval process outlined in Assembly Bill 481, the proposed military equipment policy was made available on the department website at least 30 days prior to any public hearing concerning the military equipment at issue (Government Code § 7071). The police department also hosted a community meeting to discuss AB 481 on May 12th, 2022. The Military Equipment Use Policy was presented to Council on September 20, 2022 and was approved with minor amendments. The Annual Report, a requirement of AB 481, was presented to citizens at a Town Hall meeting on February 8, 2023.

Discussion/Analysis
California Assembly Bill 481, signed into law on September 30, 2021, requires police agencies to obtain City Council approval by the adoption of a military equipment use policy prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment as defined by the legislature. The bill requires an annual report to the governing board regarding the military equipment. If an agency wishes to acquire additional equipment that is defined as military equipment, they must receive Council approval. The policy/ordinance governing military equipment use must be reviewed and renewed annually. 162

Annual Report Description:

Assembly Bill 481 requires the police department report annually on the inventory, procurement, use and misuse of covered military equipment items. The annual report also includes a description of new military equipment the police department seeks City Council approval for acquisition and funding.

Per AB 481, the annual report must include the following:

LAMC 7.30.010. Military equipment policy (Reviewed 9/20/22) As required by AB 481, the City Council reviewed this section as an ordinance to approve a military equipment use policy. The City Council's approval shall remain effective for a period of one year, which approval may be revoked, extended, renewed, modified or amended by resolution of the City Council. Within a year of the initial approval, and at least annually thereafter, the City Council will review this section and related resolutions. The City Council may, by resolution, make amendments, modifications or revisions to the military equipment use policy adopted by the Los Altos Police Department. The ordinance must be reviewed and renewed annually.
165
Agenda Item # 8.

A. The City Council has made the following determinations:

1. The military equipment inventoried and presented to the City Council is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.

2. The proposed military equipment use policy (“Policy”) will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights and civil liberties (said Policy is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated by this reference).

3. The equipment is reasonably cost-effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety (if any).

4. Prior military equipment use complied with the applicable equipment use policy (which included equipment now defined as military equipment) that was in effect at the time, or if prior uses did not comply with the accompanying military equipment use policy, corrective action has been taken to remedy nonconforming uses and ensure future compliance.

Equipment Usage for 2022:

None of the equipment in the attached military equipment inventory was utilized in 2022, except in training situations including range and SWAT.

Summary of Complaints for 2022:

The Department did not receive any complaints concerning military equipment in 2022.

Violations of Policy 709:

An internal review revealed no violations of Policy 709, as none of the equipment was utilized in 2022 except in training situations.

Total Annual Cost for Military Equipment:

The estimated annual cost for the maintenance of the military equipment in the current inventory is $4,800. This includes the cost of replacement parts, cleaning supplies, and the staff time to conduct inspections on the equipment.
166
Agenda Item # 8.

Replacement Military Equipment Inventory List:

1. 40mm Launchers (Item #1 on current inventory list)
DESCRIPTION: PENN ARMS 40mm single shot launcher is a tactical single shot launcher that features a collapsible stock. It will fire standard 40mm less lethal ammunition, up to 6.0 inches in cartridge length. 40mm launchers are capable of firing a variety of munitions with maximum effective range of one hundred twenty (120) feet.

TOTAL PURCHASE COST: $19,751.08, or $1,975.11 each, Quantity 10. The proposal would be to purchase these additional launchers to replace the less lethal shotguns for patrol. We would remove the less lethal shotguns for patrol and use that credit from the shotguns to help purchase the additional 40mm launchers. We currently have three 40mm launchers in our approved inventory.

Increase our munition rounds from 14 to 150 rounds. These rounds will be divided up for each launcher for patrol and remaining rounds for the regional SWAT team with Mountain View Police Department.

2. Rifles for SWAT (Item #3 on Current Inventory List)
Proposed Weapon system to replace current rifles for SWAT: Daniel Defense V7s AR-15/M4,

5.56mm/.223 semiautomatic rifle. Quantity: 5
Currently six Colt AR15/M4 rifles are assigned to the SWAT team which have a fully automatic capability. These rifles are 18 to 20 years old and need to be replaced based on lifespan. (See section 3(d) under Inventory). We would like to turn in these rifles as credit and replace them with the rifle listed above, which are semi-automatic.

DESCRIPTION: Daniel Defense V7s rifles. These rifles will be assigned to a SWAT team member to be utilize for SWAT operations, training, and patrol. They offer a higher degree of accuracy at long distance.

They are normally kept secured in patrol vehicles, SWAT multi-use truck, or in the Police station and are only deployed on specific incidents where Officers believe guns or weapons are involved.

TOTAL REPLACEMENT COST: is $15,832.24 for 5 rifles, or $3,166.45 each rifle (based on current quote but could vary depending on time of purchase). We would apply any credit we would receive to this purchase for the rifles we are replacing. 167
Agenda Item # 8.

Assembly Bill No. 481
CHAPTER 406
An act to add Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, relating to military equipment. [Approved by Governor September 30, 2021. Filed with
Secretary of State September 30, 2021.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 481, Chiu. Law enforcement and state agencies: military equipment:
funding, acquisition, and use.

Existing law designates the Department of General Services as the agency for the State of California responsible for distribution of federal surplus personal property, excepting food commodities, and requires the department to, among other things, do all things necessary to the execution of its powers and duties as the state agency for the distribution of federal personal surplus property, excepting food commodities, in accordance with specified federal law. Existing law, the Federal Surplus Property Acquisition Law of 1945, authorizes a local agency, as defined, to acquire surplus federal property without regard to any law which requires posting of notices or advertising for bids, inviting or receiving bids, or delivery of purchases before payment, or which prevents the local agency from bidding on federal surplus property.

Existing federal law authorizes the Department of Defense to transfer surplus personal property, including arms and ammunition, to federal or state agencies for use in law enforcement activities, subject to specified conditions, at no cost to the acquiring agency.

This bill would require a law enforcement agency, defined to include specified entities, to obtain approval of the applicable governing body, by adoption of a military equipment use policy, as specified, by ordinance at a regular meeting held pursuant to specified open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined. The bill would also require similar approval for the continued use of military equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2022. The bill would allow the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards. The bill would require the governing body to annually review the ordinance and to either disapprove a renewal of the authorization for a type, as defined, of military equipment or amend the military equipment use policy if it determines, based on an annual military equipment report prepared by the law enforcement agency, as provided, that the military equipment does not comply with the above-described standards for approval. The bill would specify these provisions do not preclude a county or local municipality from implementing

92 STATE OF CALIFORNIA

AUTHENTICATED

ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL

Agenda Item # 8.
additional requirements and standards related to the purchase, use, and reporting of military equipment by local law enforcement agencies.

This bill would also require a state agency, as defined, to create a military equipment use policy before engaging in certain activities, publish the policy on the agency’s internet website, and provide a copy of the policy to the Governor or the Governor’s designee, as specified. The bill would also require a state agency that seeks to continue use of military equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2022, to create a military equipment use policy.

This bill would also include findings that the changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities.

By adding to the duties of local officials with respect to the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.

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 no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

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

SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a)  The acquisition of military equipment and its deployment in our communities adversely impacts the public’s safety and welfare, including increased risk of civilian deaths, significant risks to civil rights, civil liberties, and physical and psychological well-being, and incurment of significant financial costs. Military equipment is more frequently deployed in low-income Black and Brown communities, meaning the risks and impacts of police militarization are experienced most acutely in marginalized communities.
(b)  The public has a right to know about any funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment by state or local government officials, as well as a right to participate in any government agency’s decision to fund, acquire, or use such equipment.
(c)  Decisions regarding whether and how military equipment is funded, acquired, or used should give strong consideration to the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties, and should be based on meaningful public input.
92 Ch. 406 — 2 —
204
Agenda Item # 8.
(d)  Legally enforceable safeguards, including transparency, oversight, and accountability measures, must be in place to protect the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties before military equipment is funded, acquired, or used.
(e)  The lack of a public forum to discuss the acquisition of military equipment jeopardizes the relationship police have with the community, which can be undermined when law enforcement is seen as an occupying force rather than a public safety service.

SEC. 2. Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) is added to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, to read:

(a)  A state agency shall create a military equipment use policy prior to engaging in any of the following:
(1)  Requesting military equipment made available pursuant to Section 2576a of Title 10 of the United States Code.
(2)  Seeking funds for military equipment, including, but not limited to, applying for a grant, soliciting or accepting private, local, state, or federal funds, in-kind donations, or other donations or transfers. (3)  Acquiring military equipment either permanently or temporarily, including by borrowing or leasing.

(4)  Collaborating with a law enforcement agency or another state agency in the deployment or other use of military equipment within the territorial jurisdiction of the governing body.
(5)  Using any new or existing military equipment for a purpose, in a manner, or by a person not previously approved by the governing body pursuant to this chapter.
(6)  Soliciting or responding to a proposal for, or entering into an agreement with, any other person or entity to seek funds for, or to apply to receive, acquire, use, or collaborate in the use of, military equipment. (7)  Acquiring military equipment through any means not provided by this subdivision.
(b)  No later than May 1, 2022, a state agency seeking to continue the use of any military equipment that was acquired prior to January 1, 2022, shall create a military equipment use policy.
(c)  A state agency that is required to create a military equipment use policy pursuant to this section shall do both of the following within 180 days of completing the policy:
(1)  Publish the military equipment use policy on the agency’s internet website.
(2)  Provide a copy of the military equipment use policy to the Governor or the Governor’s designee.
7074. The Legislature finds and declares that ensuring adequate oversight of the acquisition and use of military equipment is a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution. Therefore, this chapter applies to all cities, including charter cities and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions in the charter of any city, county, or city and county. 7075. Nothing in this chapter shall preclude a county or local municipality from implementing additional requirements and standards related to the purchase, use, and reporting of military equipment by local law enforcement agencies.

SEC. 3. The Legislature finds and declares that Section 1 of this act, which adds Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, furthers, within the meaning of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local public bodies or the writings of local public officials and local agencies. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:

Requiring local agencies to hold public meetings prior to the acquisition of military equipment further exposes that activity to public scrutiny and enhances public access to information concerning the conduct of the people’s business.

SEC. 4. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district under this act would 92 Ch. 406 — 8 —

Subject: MEUP 03-14-23
Date: Monday, March 13, 2023 11:42:14 AM
CC 03-14-23
I am a long time resident of Los Altos and I am concerned with our compliance with (AB) 481 including public participation in the policy review and with proposed requests for additional military equipment.

California Assembly Bill (AB) 481 requires California law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of a Military Equipment Use Policy by their applicable governing body prior to taking certain actions related to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment as defined by the legislature.

It also mandates annual review of both usage and acquisition of additional military equipment and annual review of the policy.

The Los Altos PD released their updated MEUP draft and submitted for discussion during the 09/20/22 council meeting.

I am concerned that policy 709.9 draft was not presented to the public for final discussion and review but was posted as final on 2/8/23 with changes.

I am also concerned with the new request for Flashbangs and Chemical Grenades. I have not seen data providing the need for this additional equipment that Los Altos has never had, and I therefore cannot endorse these acquisitions.

Flashbangs are used to distract and temporarily immobilize dangerous suspects by overwhelming their senses of vision and hearing. The distraction gives Officers time to seize a moment and create an opportunity to take control of high-risk or dangerous situations.

OC Grenades (Purchase Cost $52.10 each, quantity 5): The Defense Technology OC Vapor Aerosol Grenade is for law enforcement and corrections used to deliver a high concentration of Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) in a powerful mist. The grenade is designed for indoor-use in confined areas and, once deployed, inflames the mucous membranes and exposed skin resulting in an intense burning sensation.

Subject: PUBLIC COMMENT AGENDA ITEM #8 - March 14, 2023 Date: Monday, March 13, 2023 11:57:10 AM
Dear Los Altos City Council,
I am writing about City Council Agenda Discussion Item 8. AB 481 Military Equipment Use Annual Report: Review and renew Ordinance No. 2023-489 by introducing and waiving further reading of Ordinance No. 2023-489 approving Los Altos Police Policy 709 pertaining to the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment as mandated by Assembly Bill 481 (K. Krauss)
Assembly Bill 481 clearly states that Los Altos must hold open public meetings prior to taking action related to their military equipment use policy. Bill 481 also mandates that the governing body annually review and approve not only the equipment list but also the military equipment policy. The proposed annual “review and renew” should be a public discussion plus Council approval. My concern is that the proposed 709.9 military equipment policy must include public input, per the Brown Act Chapter IV.1.C, on any and all changes, and must be approved by Council annually. Given the wording in the Council agenda, it seems, due process is being circumvented.

Furthermore, the Brown Act Chapter IV.1.A requires that all items on the Council agenda must be posted at least 72 hours before a public meeting, yet the Los Altos Police Department Military Equipment Use Policy draft that has been posted does not properly reflect all changes made since approval by Council in September 2022.

There are additions that have not been disclosed to the public via highlight, thereby misleading the public as to the scope and extent of proposed changes. Specifically, 709.3.1 in the agenda draft does not exist in the minutes from the approved edited version dated 09/07/2002 in the September 20, 2022 City Council minutes. 709.3.1 EXIGENCY- PROCUREMENT AND USE
Nothing in this policy shall prohibit the procurement or use of controlled equipment when exigent circumstances exist. In rare circumstances, exigent circumstances may occur where the immediate procurement and use of controlled equipment may be necessary to preserve life, prevent physical harm to officers or other persons, prevent the destruction of relevant evidence, prevent the escape of the suspect, or maintain public safety. In the event such an event occurs, the Chief of Police or the authorized designee may authorize the procurement and use of controlled equipment. Any exigent procurement and/or use of controlled equipment will be reported to the governing body, in writing, unless such information is confidential or privileged under local, state or federal law.
217
Agenda Item # 8.

I am writing to ask that you revise the agenda to include public discussion, post the approved version of Policy 709 from September 2022 and the 2023 proposed version highlighting any changes for full transparency, and change the agenda item summary to reflect compliance with AB481, removing “review and renew” and “waive further reading” and ensuring annual review and approval of the Military Equipment Use policy and Military Equipment List. Military equipment seems extreme for a safe community like Los Altos, and I have concern about any policy that limits or attempts to remove public input from its formation and approval.

Thank you for considering my concerns.

Regards,
Jill Woodford

(Angel, please post this email and the PDF attachment to the public comment portal. Do not post the Word Document. That is for the councilmembers and staff, should they prefer it.

Thanks!)
This letter comments on the AB481 Annual Report, dated 2023_03_14 and my overarching concerns with the ME 709 currently in the packet, while the attachment is my redline edit of the ME 709 Policy. That redline includes many bracketed commentaries airing either justifications for specific edits or written concerns I have.

AB481 Annual Report Concerns:

1. I and many members of the public were unable to find the ME 709 named in the opening lines of the Annual Report. We were expecting to find the Council-approved ME 709 dated on or about 9/23/2022, which was the date the revisions accepted by Council were approved in the 9/20/2022 Council meeting. But, instead, posted at the website we found a new ME 709 dated 2/8/2023. This document was markedly DIFFERENT from the one approved 9/20/2022. An no edit marks reflected the changes.

2. I scrutinized videos of the 9/20/2022 and the 2/8/2023 PD town hall and could find no PD mention or Council direction for some of those changes. How can this be? This violates the tenets of AB481 for transparent and public purview of proposed changes against prior revisions.

3. The Annual Report pages are unnumbered, so it makes commenting difficult. I will use page number in order: On Page 2, last para, it should be noted that the 9/20/22 revision will not stand for a whole year, but will come for review at this time. When we look back on this report from the future, this distinction will be important..

4. On Page 3, Item 2, it is unclear which version of the ME 709 policy is Exhibit A. Is it the 9/23/2022 version? or the 2/28/23 version? Ii absolutely should be the 9/23/2022 version since that is what the public had the chance to see. The earlier version had no exigency section, for example. My red lines explain these distinctions.
:

5.Equipment Usage for 2022: Is it a forgone conclusion that the training use of ME should not be documented here? Why not? Please explain.

6. Summary of Complaints for 2022: It seems reasonable that concerns received as written public comments be archived within this section? Or is this only for formal written complaints? Because AB481 says “complaints or concerns” (Sec 7072 (a) (2).

7. Violations of Policy 709: Is there no independent oversight to verify the stated findings?:
220
Agenda Item # 8.

8. All of the sections in the asks for replacements or new buys need to be written out in the standard outline format with same headings and subheadings of the inventory list in 709.9. It is very difficult to keep track of these items to verify that all data points are there.

9. 40mm launchers: Do the old 3 remain as is and in use in our armory? If not where do they go? Why change from bean bag shotguns to baton launchers? Are there usage data to support the significant increase in purchase or rounds here?

10. Rifles for SWAT: is there really any usable life remaining in these retired weapons? Aren’t we afraid that low-grade mil equip could make it’s way out to resale market and be dangerous? Why buy 5 rifles if we only have two SWAT officers? Pls itemize projected headcount timing to justify this expense.

11. Why do we need Flashbangs? Where is the MV usage data? Why do we have to pay for flashbangs that are never used here in Los Altos?

12. Chemical Agents: Wow. Why do we need chemical grenades? Where is the use data to support this need? Also, please add this clause to the Authorized uses for these munitions:
"Other situations not listed here may also be deemed authorized use cases under applicable penal code and case law, and shall reflect necessary, reasonable, and proportional use of this weapon system."
Overall, and despite the weight given to less-lethal options, there seems to be a dramatic escalation of weaponry, munitions and violence-based aspects to the armory. The usage data absolutely does not support this escalation. Is this warranted? I cannot see the justification, other than replacing weapons at end of lifespan. And yet, if those weapons are good enough to sell to someone else, why aren't they good enough for us? I worry we are sending bad stuff to less fortunate agencies. Is this equitable? Wise?
Concerns about ME 709 in the Council Mtg Packet::
1) Lack of independent oversight per AB481 sec 7070 (d) (6) requires "(d) “Military equipment use policy” means…a document governing the use…that addresses, at a minimum, all of the following: …(6) The mechanisms to ensure compliance with the …policy, including which independent persons or entities have oversight.”
Under no circumstances are the Chief ,or the City manager, or the Council an independent person or entity due to the reporting structure of our city; therefore, this criterion MUST be added to comply with AB481.
2) There are section-numbering errors. Also, the Annual Report sections that seek replacement and new Military Equipment acquisitions do not follow the standard formatting and paragraph requirements of the main inventory list in 709.9.. 3) Section 709.3.1 (should be 709.4.1) describing acquisition of ME outside specified process as allowable due to "exigency" creates a massive loophole for on-the-ground decisions that acquire ME first and ask for permission later. But importantly, this section was added without public input and without meeting the public oversight requirements of AB481. It magically appeared after the Sept 2022 version was approved by Council and before the upcoming opportunity for the public to review new changes. In fact, the edit was never "blue-lined" as 221
Agenda Item # 8.
new!
4) The same thing happened with another section 709.3.2 (should be 709.4.2), though the content of that section was more benign. However, it remains very troubling that our PD would slip in content without going through due public process. 5) There are ambiguities introduced about chain of command in Section 709.4 (should be 709.5) due to contradictions or lack of clarity with the wording of that section compared to the Intergovernmental Agreement between Mountain View and Los Altos PDs for the joint ("Regional") SWAT team..(see redlines for specifics)
6) Members of the public have two ways of submitting complaints in Los Altos: to the Independent Intake Official (who can assure confidentiality) and to the PD directly. Currently, the PD channel is listed first and the IIO channel second. CM Neysa Fligor requested in September of 2022 that these entities be reversed in their ordered listing in the policy and at our website. I agree.

Thank you,

The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the approval, acquisition, and reporting requirements of military equipment (Government Code § 7070; Government Code § 7071; Government Code § 7072). Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481), signed into law on September 30, 2021, requires law enforcement agencies to create a policy establishing guidelines and requirements for the funding, acquisition, and use of "military equipment" (Government Code § 7070, 7071, and 7072), including requirements to host informational meetings with the public, generate annual "military equipment" use reports, and seek annual approval from their respective governing bodies.

(c) Acquires military equipment either permanently or temporarily, including by borrowing or leasing.
(d) Collaborates with another law enforcement agency in the deployment or other use of military equipment within the jurisdiction of this department. (e) Uses any new or existing military equipment for a purpose, in a manner, or by a person not previously approved by the governing body.
(f) Solicits or responds to a proposal for, or enters into an agreement with, any other person or entity to seek funds for, apply to receive, acquire, use, or collaborate in the use of military equipment.
(g) Acquires military equipment through any means not provided above. 709.3.1 709.4.1 EXIGENCY- PROCUREMENT AND USE
Nothing in this policy shall prohibit the procurement or use of controlled equipment when exigent circumstances exist. In rare circumstances, exigent circumstances may occur where the immediate procurement and use of controlled equipment may be necessary to preserve life, prevent physical harm to officers or other persons, prevent the destruction of relevant evidence, prevent the escape of the suspect, or maintain public safety. In the event such an event occurs, the Chief of Police or the authorized designee may authorize the procurement and use of controlled equipment. Any exigent procurement and/or use of controlled equipment will be reported to the governing body, in writing, unless such information is confidential or privileged under local, state or federal law. [where did this section come from? This was NOT in the MEUP approved 2022_09_20! Videos of both the city council meeting of 2022_09_20 and the PD Town Hall of 2023_02_08 were scrutinized and no such mention of this section was vocalized by either Katie Krauss or Chief Averiett. Moreover, no edition was ever posted publicly with highlighting blue-lines signifying the change. Therefore, this section was added without public input and should be removed! This section is a substantive and alarming addition to our policy – it has never been part of our policy. Exigency has been used as an excuse by many bad actors to justify departure from policy. This unpublicized addition is in direct violation of the transparency requirements of AB481.] 709.3.2 709.4.2 MAINTENANCE AND RESUPPLY OF CONTROLLED EQUIPMENT In the event a previously approved supply of controlled equipment falls below the approved quantity due to breakage (weapons) or having been expended (munitions) [want to make sure the reduction in inventory is not because of sale, loan or gifting elsewhere], the Department may replenish the supply, as needed, without first obtaining additional approval from the Governing 227

Body. [this section was also added without being blue-lined in any edition for public review; when was this section added? In the 2022_09_20 City Council Meeting, at 3:05:16, Capt Krauss verbalizes this but the text was not in her blue-lined document presented to the public. This is an AB481 public-notice compliance problem as well, though we can accept the content as long as the proviso describing the reasons inventory might fall below spec above is accepted (I find it specifically inappropriate to let loss or having been stolen be a good enough reason to replenish absent stock of weapons/munitions.] 709.4 709.5 COORDINATION WITH OTHER JURISDICTIONS
Military equipment used by other law enforcement agencies that are providing mutual aid to this jurisdiction or otherwise engaged in law enforcement operations within this jurisdiction should comply with their respective military equipment policies in rendering mutual aid. [There are ambiguities introduced with this section about chain of command and/or governing policy concerning use of ME due to contradictions or lack of clarity with the wording of the Intergovernmental Agreement between Mountain View and Los Altos PD for the joint ("Regional") SWAT team. The wording in this section implies that policies regarding ME use by outside agencies in Los Altos should adhere to their respective remote policies (and therefore chain of command), while the Joint Agreement maintains that the procedures and rules followed shall be those where the mutual aid is rendered. This ambiguity must be resolved before this policy is approved.]

709.5 709.6 ANNUAL REPORT AND POLICY REVIEW
Upon approval of a military equipment policy, the Chief of Police or the authorized designee should shall submit a military equipment report to the governing body for each type of military equipment approved within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use (Government Code § 7072).

The Chief of Police or the authorized designee should shall also make each annual military equipment report publicly available on the department website for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The report shall include all information required by Government Code § 7072 for the preceding calendar year for each type of military equipment in department inventory.
709.6 709.7 POLICY COMPLIANCE AND SUBMITTING COMPLAINTS The Chief of Police or the authorized designee will ensure that all Los Altos Police Department employees comply with this policy. Suspected violations of the provisions set forth in this policy, or in other laws or policies governing the use of "military equipment", should be handled in accordance with Los Altos Police Department Policy 340 (Standards of Conduct). Additionally, violations of the provisions set forth in this policy, or in other laws or policies governing the use of "military equipment", will be reported to the governing body via the annual Military Equipment Report.

Any member of the community can submit a complaint regarding the use of "military equipment" to the Independent Intake Official or any Los Altos Police Department employee or the Independent Intake Official. [This was CM Fligor’s original request that was only partially carried out.] Complaints can be submitted in any form (e.g., in person, online, telephone, email, etc.). Once a complaint is received, it will be handled in accordance with Los Altos Police Department Policy 340 (Standards of Conduct) and LAPD Policy 1020 (Personnel Complaints). Formal complaints regarding alleged violations of this policy will be handled by an independent investigator whose authority rests outside the Department and Governing Body. [this addition is made in the spirit of trying to add some description and substance to what/who this investigator is; there is little substance to explain this role to the public.]
Complaints may be made directly to the Independent Intake Official (IIO) Stephanie Atigh in one of the following ways:

709.7 709.8 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing the annual report, the Department should shall hold at least one well-publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting, at which the Department General Public should discuss the report and ask questions respond to public questions regarding the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment. [The modifications written just prior are the proper wording of the relevant section of AB481, Sec 7072 (b). Staff’s wording materially sidesteps the law. And in fact, the PD Townhall on Feb 8, 2023 did not allow public discussion nor offer the public the opportunity to directly ask questions in an open forum. And finally, very little room was allowed for Q&A at all. All these factors caused the public to withhold their input in frustration. Moreover, staff should have posted both the 9/23/2022 and the 2/8/2023 versions of the MEUP 709 policy simultaneously so we could compare the before and after versions. They are clearly different, as has been proven in this review of the policy and some of the differences were never highlighted with edit marks. And finally, even if the 2/8/2023 version of the Policy was posted on 2/8, the accompanying Annual Report was not published until Fri 3/10, giving the public very little time to prepare its review and arguments in favor or against the revisions and new equipment requests. Staff and Council should notice that the body of the policy from 709.1-709.8 are dated 2023/02/08, while the attachment 709.9, the MEUP Inventory List is dated with the council approved 2022/09/23 original date; the dates should be reconciled with the signing of this ordinance. In all, the technical accuracy and the community engagement aspects of this year’s policy have been insufficient and not in accordance with the letter and spirit of AB481] 709.9 MILITARY EQUIPMENT INVENTORY

Re: Agenda Item 8: “AB 481 Military Equipment Use Annual Report: Review and renew Ordinance No. 2023-489 by introducing and waiving further reading of Ordinance No. 2023- 489 approving Los Altos Police Policy 709 pertaining to the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment as mandated by Assembly Bill 481 (K. Krauss)” I am very concerned that California’s Assembly Bill 481 law regarding Military Equipment Use by Police (MEUP) is not being properly followed by our Police Department and City staff. I’m urging City Council to NOT “renew Ordinance No. 2023-489 by introducing and waiving further reading of Ordinance No. 2023-489 approving Los Altos Police Policy 709 pertaining to the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment as mandated by Assembly Bill 481”. I believe Council and the City will be violating AB 481 if the policy is approved without proper advance availability of the draft version of the policy, and with no public comment forum and formal review prior to approval.

How did we get here? On Feb 8, 2023 Chief Averiett and Captain Krauss conducted a Town Hall titled “Public Safety Update Virtual Meeting on February 8, 2023” (video link below). This meeting announcement did not receive the publicity it should have, nor was the title informative enough - topics covered were MEUP and ALPRs. The meeting was announced on the Los Altos PD facebook page; it should have been described in the City Manager Weekly email.

During the Public Safety Update meeting, Captain Krauss conducted the “review” of the MEUP program. She said, "Our [MEUP] policy has been approved and sent to all of our staff. Is also available online; no longer in draft form so you feel free to take a look at that...".

This statement cannot be correct because the City Council has not approved the policy in a public meeting as required by AB 481.
234
Agenda Item # 8.

Here are the legal and process problems with what has apparently happened:

1. The Police Dept posted the DRAFT of the 2023 policy (dated 2023/02/08) on the Los Altos PD website around Feb 08 as “approved”. That 2023/02/08 Draft Policy has NOT been approved by the City Council in a public meeting as required by AB 481.

2. There have been changes to the MEUP Policy document (from 2022/09/23 version to the 2023/02/08 version) that are not marked as changes, such as the addition of section 709.3.1. What other changes were made that haven’t been marked as changes? This omission of change tracking has resulted in suspicion and concern. Council should require a fully change-tracked version of the proposed policy for review.

3. The CURRENT approved MEUP Policy, dated 2022/09/23, is no longer available on the Los Altos PD website. It MUST be restored to public access.

4. While the draft Policy (2023/02/08) was apparently available on the LA PD website, it was only made available through the City Council agenda on 3/10/23 - 4 days prior to the 3/14 meeting. This is insufficient time for public review.

5. The availability of the 2023/02/08 version was not adequately announced by the City or PD. A much more rigorous process must be followed to announce new policies so that the public has proper time to access, evaluate and comment.

As to the specific request for replacement and new purchases of military equipment, I ask the Council to fully understand the following:

1. Why the need to go from three (3) PENN ARMS 40mm single shot launchers to 10?

2. Rifles for SWAT - during the Virtual meeting on Public Safety, Captain Krauss stated that the desired 5 Daniel Defense V7s AR-15/M4 will be used for patrol AND SWAT.

Which is it - just SWAT or for all patrol too?

3. The policy specifics around the NEW equipment being sought, ie, the information in the AB 481 Annual Report 2022 (in agenda packet), is not sufficient. The full policy update needs to be reviewed by Council.
235

I urge you to carefully review the proposed policy and allow public comment and participation in the process as AB481 demands.

2023_03_14 PUBLIC COMMENT AGENDA ITEM 8 -- Toni Moos
Dear Mayor Meadows, Vice Mayor Weinberg, and Councilmembers, Thank you for taking the time to listen to my concerns.

I am disappointed that the required annual Military Equipment Use Policy review was discussed at the Police Town Hall on February 8th, 2023, instead at a City Council Meeting where it would be posted and therefore more accessible to members of the public for public comment. In the interest of transparency, all changes from the approved September 2022 MEUP should have been noted to allow for public input.

I note, for example, that on today’s Agenda regarding AB 481 Military Equipment Use Annual Report, the staff is "recommending a review and renew Ordinance No. 2023-489 by introducing and waiving further reading of Ordinance No. 2023-489 and approving Los Altos Police Policy 709 pertaining to the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment.” This does not subscribe to the legal requirements to elicit/allow public input/comments prior to approval.

In terms of the “ask” by the police for 36 Single Band and 12 9-BangFlashbangs, I would like to ask why the police feel that this is needed in our community. Have we ever used them in the past? Are we anticipating riots? I would caution against the approval of unnecessary military equipment.

As noted in the March 6th edition of The Mercury News, “The nation’s largest state, progressive California has also led the nation in procuring military weaponry, despite a host of studies that have shown a link between the size of departments’ armories and their rate of police shootings”, [former Assemblymember David] Chiu said. “David Chiu, D-San Francisco, who authored AB 481, hopes the mindset is changing. He said the main goal of his legislation was to rebuild community trust in local law enforcement by increasing transparency, oversight and, eventually, accountability about how public dollars are being used.”
I ask that the City Council provide sufficient time for the public to be able to review the changes in the MEUP before approving this edited policy and I ask the Los Altos Police Department for reasons to justify their need for the Flashbangs and chemical weapons that are being requested.

Thank you,
Toni Moos

Subject: Military Equipment Usage Policy - Public Comment Agenda Item 8 Date: Monday, March 13, 2023 1:31:32 PM
To the Los Altos City Council Members –
I understand the Military Equipment Usage Policy (MEUP) has been added to the agenda for the Los Altos City Council meeting tomorrow night, Tuesday, 3/14/23, at 7pm.

This email is to address my concerns with this Policy:

1. I understand that Section 709.3.1 was added without public input and without meeting the public oversight requirements of AB481. It appeared after the Sept 2022 version was approved by Council. The edit was never 'blue-lined' as new and the opportunity for public review and discussion of these new changes was not given. Section 709.3.1 describes the acquisition of military equipment outside of the specified process as allowable due to "exigency". Exigency -- a state of affairs that makes urgent demands.

QUESTION: What in the city of Los Altos required exigency? This is an extreme measure to take for our Bay Area city.

I am extremely disappointed this was added without public input and without meeting the public oversight requirement of AB481.

2. Per AB481 sec 7070 (d) (6) A provision of independent oversight is required. This provision is not indicated in the MEUP. The Chief of Police and City Council are not independent entities and an independent auditor must be added to this document.

ASK: an independent auditor must be added to this document.

3. In Section 709.4 there are ambiguities about the chain of command in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the joint regional Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team between Mountain View Police Department and Los Altos Police Department.

ASK: add specific verbiage specifying the chain of command between Mountain View Police Department and Los Altos Police Department.

Thank you.

Agenda Item # 9.

Subject: Gas Powered Leaf Blower Enforcement
March 14, 2023 Page 2
Background
Gas-powered leaf blowers pollute the air, pose health risks to operators and residents, and generate noise which temporarily disrupts neighborhoods throughout Los Altos.

The City of Los Altos has banned the use of gas-powered leaf blowers since 1991 (32-years ago). The city’s ban on gas-powered leaf blowers was last reviewed in early 2011 to determine if restrictions could be lessened to accommodate the landscaping industry or those persons already owning gaspowered blowers. At that time the City Council chose not to amend the ordinance or its process for enforcement of gas-powered lead blowers. Again in 2017, the City Council review the gas-powered leaf blower ban for its effectiveness, and at that time not further action was taken to modify the City’s practices.

Analysis
History
Prior to banning gas powered blowers, the City Council adopted an interim ordinance that allowed gas blowers that operate at 75 dBA when measured at 12.5 feet. The 12.5-foot distance was meant to represent the noise heard on the receiving property from the use of a blower on a neighboring property. A permitting system was developed to license acceptable units. The proposed licensing system was time intensive, difficult to administer and ineffective. A fee was collected to recover the cost of staff time involved. During the time the interim ordinance was in place it appeared that relatively few blowers could achieve acceptable noise levels.

The prohibition on gas-powered leaf blowers in Los Altos went into effect in June 1991. Following the adoption of the ordinance prohibiting these devices, a citizen’s initiative was placed on the November 1991 ballot to allow the use of some gas-powered blowers. The initiative was rejected with

58.7% of voters opposed and 41.3% in favor.

In 2011, the City Council requested a staff report on the City's prohibition on the use of portable gasoline engine powered blowers, commonly referred to as leaf blowers. This report was received by Council, at which time, following public comments from three Los Altos residents opposing the elimination of the ban, Council requested that staff research how other cities were regulating these devices. Council also requested background information regarding a related voter initiative that was considered in 1991. City Council considered this information at the February 8, 2011. Following public comments from 13 Los Altos residents opposing the elimination of the ban and further Council discussion, a motion was made to direct staff to review the use of these devices in non-residential areas and public spaces and bring back ordinance amendments for review. On March 8, 2011, staff presented draft ordinance permitting gas-powered blowers in commercial districts and on private property. The draft ordinance would continue to prohibit gas-powered blowers in residential districts 241
Agenda Item # 9.

Subject: Gas Powered Leaf Blower Enforcement
March 14, 2023 Page 3
and at private schools, religious facilities, and other similar community facilities. Following public comments from ten Los Altos residents opposing the elimination of the ban and Council discussion, a motion was made to take no further action. The motion passed unanimously.

Existing Ordinance
Los Altos Municipal Code Section 6.16.070

15. Portable gasoline powered blowers.
a. Definition. Portable gasoline-powered leaf blowers are defined as portable power equipment that is powered by a self-contained fuel engine and used in any landscape, maintenance, construction, property repair, or property maintenance for the purpose of blowing, dispersing, or redistributing dust, dirt, leaves, grass clippings, cuttings and trimmings from trees and shrubs or other debris.
b. Gasoline-powered blowers prohibited. Use or operation of portable gasoline powered leaf blowers within the city for any purpose except testing noise levels is unlawful and shall constitute an infraction, punishable as provided by law.

Enforcement
When a violation is identified a community member reports the violations to the City’s Code Enforcement Officer, who responds to all Municipal Code violations. The Code Enforcement Officer responds to the reported violation to investigate. Law requires the Code Enforcement Officer to personally witness the Municipal Code violation to enforce the regulation. If the Code Enforcement Officer witnesses the violation, they use discretion, to determine the appropriate enforcement action.

Enforcement can range from a verbal warning with a handout of educational material on the Municipal Code or the issuance of a citation. The fine accompanying a citation is $100 for the first offense, $200 for the second offense, and $500 for the third offense.

Oftentimes, when a Code Enforcement Officer arrives at the scene of the violation, the operator is gone or no longer using the device. This is often the circumstance since leaf blowers are utilized at the end of landscaping work to clean up debris. If the operator is still on-scene but is not using the device, the Code Enforcement Officer can take the opportunity to educate the subject about the ban.

Discussion
Enforcing the City’s ban has been problematic for a number of reasons, including high mobility and short duration of leaf blowers, limited code enforcement resources to follow up on complaints or pursue proactive enforcement, local regulatory challenges that require advanced notice or warning letters prior to citing a violator, and low penalty fees to violators if cited. 242
Agenda Item # 9.

Subject: Gas Powered Leaf Blower Enforcement
March 14, 2023 Page 4
Increasingly, residents have grown frustrated by the lack of effective enforcement of gas powered leaf blowers in residential areas. The city receives approximately 20-30 complaints regarding gas powered leaf blower violations each month.

In addition to the challenges listed previously even when a citation is issued the City has seen very few fines resolved. Lack of citation resolution is largely due to landscape operators not having a business license within the City of Los Altos, and also not being residents so enforcement of the payment of fines is problematic.

City staff has met with several residents and interested groups that are requesting increased enforcement of the gas-powered enforcement ban. Staff has been requested to look at what neighboring agencies are doing to address this issue and report back to the City Council to potentially modify the local regulations to further support enforcement efforts.

Considerations
As a result of staffs research the following amendments to the Los Altos Municipal Code should be considered:

1. Modify the Municipal Code to clarify and assert the City’s ability to assign property owner liability for knowingly hiring or allowing a person to use a gas-powered lead blower on their residentially zoned property.

2. Modify the Municipal Code to authorize the enforcement of the gas-powered leaf blower ban by issuance of a citation at the first sighting. This will allow the code enforcement officer to proceed with enforcement action immediately thus obtaining code compliance.

3. Update the City’s Administrative Citation schedule. Existing citation schedule is $100 on the first offense, $200 for second offense and $500 for the third offense.

4. Create a standalone chapter within the Los Altos Municipal Code for the prohibition of gaspowered leaf blowers.

5. Integrate all provisions Assembly Bill 1346, and subsequent actions taken by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) which effectively prohibits the sale of gas-powered lawn care equipment by January 1, 2024.

Recommendation
Provide the Development Services Director with direction on desired amendments to the Los Altos Municipal Code.

Hello
The city of Los Altos need to enforce the Gas leaf blower ordinance! Gas leaf blower are a nuisance: noise and air pollution.

Homeowners are responsible for making sure their gardeners use batteries operated leaf blowers, either by providing a battery blower on site or purchasing battery blowers to their gardeners.

Batteries are still very expensive and they get stolen. City should purchase batteries and lease them to gardeners. Business deals for a leasing program should be made with EGO, for example, the chevron company.

Thank you

Date: Tuesday, March 14, 2023 12:39:37 AM
Dear Los Altos city council members
Last Friday morning I was awakened at 7:15 AM by not one but two very loud gas leaf blowers right outside my bedroom window. Recently this lawn service has started having two of their men using a gas blower at the same time!
Every Friday for the past years and years, the same garden service has done my next-door neighbor and the neighbor directly across the street.

In addition to the very disturbing noise level, when I step out on my side yard I can smell the gas fumes.

Some years ago I did call in to the city twice and complained about this particular garden service and even though the nonemergency police came out and spoke with them on each occasion it didn’t do any good — and years later they are still at it every Friday morning like clockwork.

In addition to these two neighbors who share the same service, all of the homes up and down the street (except for just one neighbor whose gardener uses an electric blower) as well throughout my neighborhood have gardeners who use gas blowers. There’s not a day during the week without gas blowers being used nearby.

During our usual milder weather there are times when you can’t sit out and have lunch in your own yard without the noise and smell of gas blowers nearby.

I started a daily walking program in the neighborhood about a year ago and I found that I needed to adjust my route as I go through the neighborhood while attempting to avoid gas blowers.

I’ve tried talking to neighbors with whom I have very friendly relationships but they are not inclined to do anything about it.

I truly hope that city council will come up with some ways to actually enforce the ban on gas blowers. After many years of experiencing this problem I’ve come to believe that the remedy needs to involve citing the homeowners who are hiring these services.

Thank you very much for your efforts and I look forward to hearing that an effective method will be on the horizon!

Please vote to strengthen the current gas-powered leaf blower ordinance enforcement. An effective way would be to target the owners of properties where violations occur with significant fines after only one written warning. It is also apparent that phone calls or emails are not working as a means of complaint since the response is after the fact, and many people will not "inform" on their neighbors. There has to be a code enforcement officer who patrols the streets on a regular basis to actually observe the usage of a gas-powered leaf blower. This is a critical time to make changes to the ordinance to ensure our community is part of the solution to help eliminate the staggering pollution from gas-powered equipment that are soon totally banned in California. Thank you for your consideration.

We really need a better way to enforce this. The police are good about responding to complaints, but having neighbors rat out neighbors doesn't make for good relations, and it's very piecemeal.

A really serious public information campaign might help: Mailings to every property, describing the ordinance and telling homeowners and tenants what to tell their contractors.

Maybe include a card (in multiple languages) to give or send to their gardeners explaining the consequences if they get caught. Suggest approaches such as buying your own equipment for the gardener to use at your property only (or share with a neighbor if the gardener works for several homes on your block). I suspect that it's easy for people who are not home during the day when their own gardener is working to NOT know what their own contractor is doing. If the homeowner gets fined in addition to the contractor, that might make an impact.

Dear Los Altos City Council,
I strongly support Los Altos's ban on the use of gas powered leaf blowers. But I am very disappointed at the severe lack of enforcement.

Loud, highly annoying gas leaf blowers are in frequent use throughout Los Altos. The noise is likely damaging the hearing of the employees having to use them. Not only is the noise a very real problem, those machines are highly polluting. Los Altos could solve all of those problems by enforcing its existing ban on gas powered leaf blowers.

Rechargeable electric leaf blowers are a better alternative all the way around.

Here are some suggestions on how to effectively enforce the ban, without imposing undue hardship on anyone.
(1) Whenever any phones in a complaint, have an officer or other city employee visit the homeowner to make sure they understand the ban and ask them to require their gardeners to use only electric leaf blowers, or no leaf blowers. Officers should do this even if they do not personally observe a violation.
(2) Officers should pay attention to the noise of gas leaf blowers when on normal patrols, and take action when they do not have a higher priority task.
(3) Fines should be levied on the owner of the gardening company, not the employee using the gas leaf blower. Employees typically have to follow the direction of the owner.
(4) Please consider a mechanism for ensuring that homeowners who hire gardening companies are insisting that gardeners do not use gas leaf blowers.

In my experience as a homeowner, it is very simple to ask your gardener to use only electric leaf blowers, and they comply. They typically use rechargeable blowers and charge an extra battery while working on each yard. There are no problems with that practice.

Thank you.

Subject: PUBLIC COMMENT AGENDA ITEM #9 - March 14, 2023 - Gas Powered Leaf Blower Enforcement Date: Tuesday, March 14, 2023 5:51:36 PM
Dear Council,
Gasoline leaf blowers are clearly a nuisance, both for noise and pollution. Indeed, AB1346, signed into law, directs the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to ban the sale of new gasoline leaf blowers (and other lawn equipment) by Jan. 1, 2024.

I want to believe that Los Altos residents are supportive of electrification, or at least would be if properly informed; and that they will gladly help. I also recognize that this can be a financial burden for many of the gardeners who work in our city. In that spirit, I urge you to:
- significantly lower or even entirely waive the fee for Landscape & Gardening business licenses, at least for the next year or two, so that professional landscapers can easily benefit from the California CORE program, which covers 70% of the cost of new electric gardening equipment (see californiacore dot org).
- involve residents: when a violation is reported, send a letter to the resident with educational material on the benefits of gasoline lawn equipment, the CORE program (for professionals), and the SV Clean Energy rebate (for residents); at least in English and Spanish. I suggest to do that for the first two violations.
- on a third report, issue a fine to the resident (who could reassign it to their landlord, if appropriate). I would also support some mechanism to drop the fine is there is some evidence that the situation is addressed.

I also want to take this opportunity to thanks the Council for switching the enforcement from the Police department to Development Services.

Thank you,
Eric Muller

Subject: Update on Return to In-Person City Council and Commission meetings March 14, 2023 Page 2
Purpose
To receive an update on the return to in-person Council and Commission meetings Background
On February 28, 2023, the State and City emergency declarations relating to the COVID-19 pandemic ended. During the pandemic, the City was able to hold City Council and Commission meetings without complying with certain elements of the Brown Act, including the posting of all teleconferencing locations. Termination of the State emergency declaration meant that the City would be required to comply with all aspects of the Brown Act.

Discussion/Analysis
Beginning in Fall of 2022, the City Council began holding hybrid meetings. Members of the Council, staff and the public could attend the meetings either in person or virtually. On January 10, 2023, the City Council received an update on new Brown Act requirements enacted by AB 2449. At that same meeting, Council directed that Commissions should resume meeting in person beginning March 1, 2023. Starting March 1st, all Commission meetings are being held in person at either City Hall or the Community Center. Members of the public may still participate via video conference.

Under the rules of the Brown Act, members of the City Council and/or Commissions may participate in meetings via teleconference, provided certain requirements are met. However, the Los Altos Commission Handbook states “Commission members shall not participate in meetings by teleconference.” As such, all Commissioners have been informed that they cannot participate in meetings remotely. It is worth noting that this section of the Commission Handbook was enacted before the advent of technologies such as Zoom when there was a significant burden on the City to host a meeting in which a member was teleconferencing. Given the advances of technology, these burdens have largely been resolved.

Recommendation
The staff recommends receive the update and provide direction if needed. 253

RE: Guide to Brown Act Requirements for Teleconferencing Beginning March 1, 2023, the City Council and Commissions in the City will be required to attend meetings in person, because the California COVID-19 State of Emergency ended on February 28, 2023. The public will be able continue to participate in meetings as they have been, both in person and remotely via Zoom. The City Council may take advantage of the more limited teleconferencing provisions than those that were in place during the COVID-19 State of Emergency.

However, the Los Altos Commission Handbook (“Handbook”)specifically forbids Commissioners from teleconferencing. As a result, Commissioners must currently participate in person and do not have an option to teleconference under any scenario. If the City Council chooses to amend the Handbook to allow Commissions to teleconference, Commissioners may utilize the traditional Brown Act teleconferencing provision or AB 2449 if they wish to participate remotely.

Key Differences Between the Traditional Brown Act Teleconferencing Provision and AB 2449 Traditional Brown Act Teleconferencing AB 2449
Location Commissioner is teleconferencing from
must be open to the public.

Location Commissioner is teleconferencing from is
not open to the public.

Commissioner participating remotely may participate
through audio, video, or both.

Commissioner participating remotely must
participate via audio and video.

Commission does not have to provide public with
any additional ways to participate remotely.

Public must be able to participate both via audio and
video; and in person.

No limit on number of times a Commissioner can
teleconference.

Commissioner may not participate remotely for 3
consecutive months or 20% of meetings. Only two
“just causes” can be provided in one year.

A Commission elects to use teleconferencing. A Commissioner provides a “just cause.” A Commissioner requeststo participate remotely due
to an “emergency circumstance.”
Quorum of Commissioners must participate from
within the City.

Quorum of Commissioners must participate in one
physical location within the City.

Votes must be taken by rollcall. Votes not required to be taken by rollcall.

Public must have the opportunity to address a teleconferencing Commission directly.

Requirements to Teleconference under the Traditional Brown Act Provision A Commission may elect to use teleconferencing under the traditional Brown Act provision, if:
 Agendas are posted at all teleconferencing locations.  Each teleconferencing location is identified in the meeting notice and agenda.  Each teleconferencing location is open and accessible to the public. 254
Agenda Item # 10.

4865-4742-1522v4
SBIDGOLI\27916001
 A quorum of the Commissioners participates from locations within the City.  All votes must be taken by rollcall.

When teleconferencing under the traditional Brown Act provision, a Commissioner can participate through audio, video, or both audio and video. Additionally, a Commissioner does not have to provide a reason for teleconferencing under this provision.

Requirements to Teleconference under AB 2449
A Commissioner may teleconference into a meeting under AB 2449 if the Commissioner notifies the Commission of a “just cause” or requests to participate remotely due to “emergency circumstances.”  “Just cause” is defined to include caregiving of a family member, having a contagious illness, having a mental or physical disability, or traveling on official business. o Can only provide two “just causes” per calendar year.  “Emergency circumstances” is defined to include physical or family medical emergencies. o Need separate request for each remote appearance.
o Commission can approve the request to participate remotely by majority vote.

If a Commissioner is able to participate remotely after providing a “just cause” or “emergency circumstance”, the Commissioner must:
 Disclose whether anyone over the age of 18 is in the room during the meeting.  Participate through video and audio.
 Not participate remotely for 3 consecutive months, 20% of meetings in a calendar year, or 2 meetings if the Commission meets less than 10 times a year.

If a Commission is holding a hybrid meeting under AB 2449, the Commission must:
 Provide the public with the ability to participate remotely through an audio-visual medium, in addition to participating in person, and provide notice on how to do so.  Have at least a quorum of the Commissioners in a single physical location in the City which is identified in the agenda and open to the public.

Subject: Public Comment Item #10 Commission meeting location - March 14 2023 Date: Monday, March 13, 2023 5:21:58 PM
Honorable Mayor Meadows, Vice-Mayor Weinberg, and Councilmembers, It is important to give city commissioners the most flexibility allowed under the state law for attending meetings virtually. Commissioners are city volunteers and have many other commitments (such as business travel/personal travel, personal circumstances, illness, etc.), and may not be able to attend a particular meeting in-person but want the option to attend virtually. As a city, we benefit from -- and should welcome -- the contributions our commissioners make at meetings whether they attend in-person or virtual as allowed by the state law.

As the chair of the VTA BPAC, I have successfully presided over our February and March meetings where some members of the committee were in-person and others remote. Members were able to contribute - their location was immaterial (as long as state law was followed). I believe we can similarly be successful with city commission meetings, and I know our commissioners are seeking the flexibility of attendance location.

Our city should embrace the meeting location flexibility allowed by the state for commissioners (and councilmembers). The city may also choose to encourage our state elected leaders to create further flexibility around where elected/appointed individuals may attend a meeting from. The past 3 years have proven that we can effectively conduct public business/meetings online.
