RE: City of Lynwood, California Avenue & Sanborn Avenue Beautification Project, Technical Assistance Program #CM05-01-23
Dear Brittany:

We are excited to submit our proposal for the City of Lynwood, California Avenue & Sanborn Avenue Beautification Project. SWA is currently on the RPOSD On-call and City of Lynwood’s On- Call service as well. Functional, activated and welcoming public spaces are the pillars that provide a high quality of life and a sense of safety for residents, communities, and stakeholders. Our recent experience with the City of Lynwood includes Fernwood Park, and Ricardo Lara Park, as well as achieving the 2018 ULI Community Impact Award. As landscape architects with a passion for creating a public realm that directly responds to stakeholder needs and iconic spaces, our team of experts are ready to explore and deliver a streamlined solution to the City of Lynwood.

Founded in 1960, SWA is a firm of landscape architects, urban planners, and urban designers who are experienced in improving neighborhood from the planning through design and construction.

We endeavor to interact seamlessly with the City of Lynwood and its community members. As the lead consultants for this project, SWA will maintain a direct connection between the project’s needs and budget, design process and our consultant’s deliverables.

SWA will assist the City of Lynwood in achieving their goals by delivering a clear and comprehensive framework to enhance the site. Our approach consists of conducting thorough environmental analysis, fostering meaningful community outreach and engagement, and providing effective project management and a design package reflecting this process.

Throughout the duration of the project, we will accommodate City of Lynwood’s schedule to deliver a solution and concept that addresses each stakeholder, community, and neighborhood needs. We are honored for the opportunity to partner with the City of Lynwood staff and look forward to engaging with your team. We acknowledge the receipt of addendum #1 (June 28, 2023).

SWA l City of Lynwood California Avenue & Sanborn Beautification Project, Technical Assistance Program I 5 SWA Firm History
SWA was founded in 1957 as Sasaki Walker & Associates;
in 1973, the firm changed its name to SWA Group, and in that same year became one of the first companies on the West Coast to be owned by an Employee Stock Ownership
Plan (ESOP)—a vehicle that has resulted in the company
becoming 100% employee-owned.

Our Los Angeles office is led by Ying-yu Hung, PLA, FASLA, Managing Principal, and Gerdo Aquino, PLA, FASLA, CEO & Principal. The LA office employs 50 professionals, 5 who are licensed landscape architects, 4 who are LEED AP/Green
Associate, and 1 who is registered as SITES AP accredited.

Firm-wide, SWA employs 300 professionals, 56 who are
licensed landscape architects. For this project, all services will be performed by the Los Angeles office.

At the core of our practice is a passion for imaginative, solution-oriented design that balance the needs of
natural and built environments with social, cultural, and economic objectives to create value for our clients and the communities our work support. We propose landscape and
urban design that shape the public realm to be inclusive and context-sensitive. We believe that our designs can build stronger community ties, where families and friends meet and maintain their relationships, and where visitors and guests are immersed in local businesses, as well as cultural and recreational activities.

Neighborhood Public Space for the Community
Community spaces serve the neighborhoods in multiple
ways: from recreational amenities, to increasing the real estate value and stimulating business growth, to providing active lifestyles and greater appreciation for nature. We understand that the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District / Technical Assistance Program has
identified City of Lynwood as a high park needs solutions.

Landscape Architecture & Urban Planning
SWA provides complete landscape architectural services, including site planning, concept design, schematic design, design development, construction documentation and
construction observation. We often provide our clients with continuing landscape design consultation after construction completion and can provide landscape management plans
for their use. We also offer master planning, preparation of design guidelines, and full design services for urban projects.

We are skilled at addressing both the redevelopment of
an urban area, including infill development and land use changes, as well as the design of new and re-imagined urban environments.

Our consultant team includes the following firms as well as personnel and licensures:
• SWA (prime): Landscape Architecture, Project
Management, Concept Design, Site Assessment, and
Outreach & Community Engagement

4. APPROACH TO SCOPE OF SERVICES
TASK 1: Project Management
SWA will establish and maintain project files and prepare all documentation, checklists, legal notices, and reports required for administration and compliance with state
environmental requirements. Additionally, SWA will coordinate regularly scheduled conference calls or meeting between the City, and project stakeholders, to review alternatives and present design options, cost estimation, etc. Our project management process is as follows:

Project Kick-Off
Clear lines of communication are established early as part of our detailed work plans to facilitate the efficient and effective flow/exchange of information. As part of the project
initiation and kick-off, SWA’s Project Manager will monitor information transfer, making certain that all critical decisions are actionable with documented issues, responsibilities, and due dates are clearly communicated.

Cost and Schedule Control
SWA maintains an internal system of checks and balances to insure the quality of finished products and to ensure that client expectations are met at every phase of a project – from concept to punch list. Every project is assigned a Principal-in-Charge whose primary responsibility is to provide overall leadership and experience.

SWA takes quality seriously and to that end, assures the commitment of the Principal-in-Charge throughout the entire duration of the contract. To that extent, clients tell us that when they hire SWA, they are not just getting one principal, but 30 of them. SWA’s relevant recent experience include the following projects for which services were provided of a similar nature. Please also see reference information for each project as well.

Regular Team Meetings
We have found that the most effective tool for maintaining quality is ensuring regular communication and check-in
points with the project team. Regularly scheduled project meetings provide an opportunity for the City of Lynwood to review progress, provide necessary guidance for the
advancement of each phase, and ensure project deliverables and key milestones are on track. These meetings will occur with the core project team and Client’s management team, and will often include other key department members with expertise on a specific scope area of discussion.

Milton Street Park & Green Street
423
SWA l City of Lynwood California Avenue & Sanborn Beautification Project, Technical Assistance Program I 9 Written Progress Reports
SWA will provide a checklist of deliverables and content at the conclusion of each phase of the project. These
checklists ensure that all prerequisite decisions and issues have been addressed prior to initiating the next phase of the project, thus minimizing the need for rework due to untimely decisions.

Throughout the Planning and Design Phases of the project, the project’s program requirements as well as all relevant Standards, Codes and Ordinances are routinely referenced and verified.

SWA reviews subconsultants’ materials to verify that
their documents indicate consistent and coordinated
information meeting the program requirements. In
addition, we require each subconsultant to perform
checklist reviews of their work while coordinating with the other disciplines. City of Lynwood’s comments are
incorporated, and all documentation is confirmed at the conclusion of each step – planning or design - prior to proceeding to the subsequent step.

The reviewers have the authority to require the design
team to revise work that does not meet the quality
objectives of the City of Lynwood.

Issue/Risk Management
The SWA Team manages a proven Issue/Risk
Managementprocess that fosters consistent and on-going
communication between our team members throughout all
phases of a project. Our Issue/Risk Management process also ensures the program has been fully realized in our planning documents.

A key component to SWA’s Issue/Risk Management program
is the use of in-house peer review teams. A minimum of two reviews are required for all projects of significant stature and are conducted throughout the duration of the project.

Quality Control
Our decision-making process is an interactive collaboration with the City of Lynwood and the entire Project Team. We will update the City of Lynwood at frequent progress meetings where we assist in setting agendas, frame required decisions, and maintain meeting notes on decisions and directions
relevant to our work. Communication is key, and we maintain a continuous and consistent communication structure through the Project Manager. Development of consensus is achieved through periodic meetings, clear definition of alternatives and the cost involved, and strict adherence to the project Ricardo Lara Linear Park, Lynwood, CA.

10 I City of Lynwood California Avenue & Sanborn Beautification Project, Technical Assistance Program I SWA schedule.

SWA excels in translating gathered project information
through the use of available technology for information exchange with the Client and the entire Project Team.

Schedules and project budgets are continuously monitored and updated throughout the project.

The Project Manager is responsible for regular in-house review of all information and deliverables. In addition to review by the Project Manager, our Principal-in-Charge
periodically reviews all design and planning projects. SWA maintains in-house, field construction personnel who
reviews all cost estimates and budgets. Our experience
in controlling project labor and construction costs comes from our long history of working with cost conscious
clients and construction managers.

Deliverables:
• Project Schedules and Updates
• Meeting Agendas and Minutes for design and
coordination meetings
TASK 2: Conceptual Designs
SWA will develop a conceptual design for the California Avenue & Sanborn Avenue Beautification Project and the
amenities planned for the site, including the location
and configuration of all site elements. The design is
to be based on community outreach and input from
residents and stakeholders, as well as City staff. Our
team will coordinate with relevant regulatory agencies, stakeholders, and material and equipment suppliers, and complete all design calculations. Task 2 consists of the following:

1. Preparation of preliminary conceptual design
alternatives as well as construction and maintenance
cost estimates

2. Meet with city staff on project intent and planning
process

3. Review and analyze existing site conditions

4. Create a conceptual design for the project sight and explore amenities and other features planned for the
site including the location and configuration of all site elements. The design will be based on community
input from residents, stakeholders, and City Staff

5. Preparation of dimensioned site plan, elevations and colored renderings to be used for final approval and as a basis for preparation of construction documents
Deliverables:
• Final conceptual design (Planting Concept, Narrative, Alternative Sketch Plan, Illustrative Plan, Landscape
Typologies, Circulation System Diagram, and Reference
Imagery)
• Construction specification
• Maintenance costs estimates
Exclusions:
• Topographic Survey and Geotechnical Report
TASK 3: Environmental Analysis,
Permitting and Compliance
The Environmental Analysis will evaluate the project site on the potential property uses, easements, architectural uses, landscape options, and elevated consideration for proper drainage. The City will need to determine the possibility of deeming the project categorically exempt from CEQA.

Our environmental consultant, Psomas proposes to prepare an Initial Assessment to provide a detailed description of the proposed Project and identify the required type of CEQA document based on anticipated environmental impacts,
and a review of applicable exemptions, including a Class 32 Categorical Exemption for Infill Projects.

The Project Description will establish a baseline for future impact analyses by describing the existing environmental setting, including existing land use and zoning designations.

A summary of proposed Project details will be presented and anticipated ministerial and discretionary actions required for the proposed Project will be identified. Figures and tables will be included, as needed, to adequately describe the Project.

The Initial Assessment will qualitatively address all
environmental topics from the State CEQA Guidelines
Environmental Checklist and provide direction if additional quantitative analyses are required.

No technical studies, modeling or quantitative analyses will be performed at this time. As a conclusion, Psomas will 425
SWA l City of Lynwood California Avenue & Sanborn Beautification Project, Technical Assistance Program I 11 recommend the appropriate type of CEQA document and, if appropriate based on the recommendation, the necessary
technical studies required based on the findings of the Initial Assessment.

Deliverables:
• Preliminary and final permit applications for submittal by the City
• Preliminary and final CEQA documentation for submittal by the City
Exclusions:
• This scope does not include preparation of any technical studies or quantitative model-driven analysis
• This scope includes one 1-hour coordination meeting
and one 1-hour City meeting. No additional meetings are assumed
• This scope assumes one round of review and revision.
• Preparation of a CEQA-compliant document is not
included in this scope of work
• All Project details will be provided by the City or City’s design consultant
TASK 4: Outreach and Community
Engagement
SWA with the input from the City, will prepare a detailed Outreach and Engagement Plan (O&E Plan) which shall
include community engagement tools and events to be
used throughout the development of California Avenue
and Sanborn Avenue Beautification Project. O&E Plan
shall consist of a strategy to fully engage disadvantaged communities, regional partners, City Commissions and
Council. O&E Plan should address outreach in multiple
languages and use electronic (virtual) and other means, to reach groups that may not participate in traditional workshops. Our approach to Task 4 consists of the following:

Listen
Our focus is to listen, process, and interpret our client, stakeholders, and community feedback. With a team of
bilingual staff, capable of accommodating the neighborhood in the project site, affords us the ability to develop a general consensus amongst constituents. A thorough project
team engagement and public outreach process is a vital
component of community and public realm projects. Our
approach will generate a vision that is built on common consensuses and responds to realistic development
opportunities.

Synthesize
Throughout the visioning and engagement process, as
well as our data-gathering efforts, our team will work
collaboratively to establish a shared vision and common goals. We will build upon the existing urban context,
considering successful features and previous development efforts within the City of Lynwood, while also incorporating the community’s aspirations for both the near future and the long term.

By integrating the urban context and community input with our consultant team’s expertise and collective knowledge, we will be able to offer a broader perspective that remains firmly rooted in market realities and realizable logistics.

This inclusive approach ensures that our final vision is comprehensive, sustainable, and aligned with the needs
and desires of the community, while also taking into
consideration the practical aspects of implementation
Provide a Toolkit for Implementation
SWA utilize various tools to approach this project. For online engagements, we use “Mentimeter,” a digital online engagement tool that creates an interactive experience
with the target audience, encouraging them to vote, ask questions, and interact with our team. We conduct door-to- door outreach, organize workshops at designated locations, and set up pop-up stands at local events to engage the
community in an informal and approachable manner. These diverse methods ensure that we reach and involve a broad spectrum of stakeholders in the decision-making process, fostering meaningful and inclusive community participation.

Deliverables:
• Outreach and Engagement Plan
• City staff, Council, and Commission Meetings
• Attend Outreach Events

Ricardo Lara Linear Park

LYNWOOD, CALIFORNIA
Ricardo Lara Linear Park transforms a derelict stretch
of a rail right-of-way to a vibrant public space for the community, where recreational amenities have been
scarce and overdue. Nestled between the I-105 freeway
and a densely populated residential area, the park
fulfills an abundance of recreational and environmental programming in a historically park poor neighborhood.

Dedicated to State Senator Ricardo Lara (D-Bell
Gardens), the park was realized in part through his
help in securing a $5 million grant from the California Department of Parks and Recreation’s Proposition 84
Fund.

The dog park and walking trails have become popular
amenities for families looking to exercise and interact with their neighbors.

OXNARD, CALIFORNIA
The Oxnard Green Alleys Plan pushed innovative ideas, built neighborhood support, and uncovered unique funding strategies that had not been explored by the City. Through an examination of 86 miles of underutilized alleys, the planning process resulted in: 1) projects targeting the most underserved neighborhoods, where funding and revitalization will have the greatest positive impact; 2) strategies for using alleys to creatively appropriate open space to better serve the community; and 3) an emerging perspective that alleys are a communal domain where social networking, active transportation, and recreation could occur.

The planning process included a series of working meetings between the SWA and a Green Alleys Planning and Advisory Group, composed of key City staff and concerned stakeholder groups. An early outcome of these sessions was a list of focused objectives. These objectives address the topics of: traffic safety, pedestrian and bike activity, community space and health, personal safety, local economy, efficient maintenance, water quality and conservation, air quality, and stewardship.

community. SWA was selected to provide full service
Landscape Architecture service and has completed the
planning through concept phase of the project.

Through a series of community engagement workshops
the community voted on specific play equipment, shade
structures, playground equipment, exercise, and art
theme for the park. Based on these findings, SWA has
developed two distinct concepts named, “Butterfly
Landing” and “Bamboo Forest” integrating recreation,
and art into the site.

Central Park & Paseo

GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA
Selected concept for Central Park
The long-awaited Armenian American Museum prompted the City of Glendale to reconfigure its Central Park, one of the few public green spaces in its burgeoning downtown. SWA’s master plan compensates for the loss of usable area by transforming an existing parking lot behind the Central Library into green space.

SWA also led communmity outreach sessions and city council presentations to allow the public to participate in the design process.

The master plan envisions connecting to an existing paseo that originates at Brand Boulevard into the park, as well as the addition of a second north-south paseo leading to Colorado Street. The removal of an outmoded utility shed creates additional space for programming. In total, the redesigned park would expand its usable square footage from the existing 76,000 square feet to more than 92,000. A flexible central open space allows Glendale to offer diverse seasonal programming to enhance park activity.

APPROVE DMC ENGINEERING TO PROVIDE ENGINEERING

SERVICES NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THE LEAD AND COPPER
RULE REVISION (LCRR).

Agenda Item # 8.5.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: “A

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD APPROVING DMC

ENGINEERING TO PROVIDE ENGINEERING SERVICES REQUIRED TO COMPLETE LEAD AND COPPER RULE REVISION, CAPITOL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 4011.68.097 FOR A NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $50,000.”
Background:

On January 15, 2021, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) published revisions to the Lead and Copper Rule known as the Lead Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR).

Through the LCRR, US EPA requires all community water systems to conduct a comprehensive inventory of both publicly owned and privately-owned service line materials “regardless of ownership”. The LCRR requires water systems to identify any lead, galvanized steel pipe requiring replacement (GRR), or “lead status unknown” service lines and to make the inventory information publicly available (water systems that serve more than 50,000 people to provide their inventory online). The initial inventory requirements of the LCRR specify:

Information water systems must include their service line inventory, Water systems must submit their initial inventories to their primacy agency (State of City Council City Council Regular Meeting 477
California) by October 16, 2024.

Requirements for water systems to make their information publicly accessible and to notify all persons served by the water system with a lead, GRR, or lead status unknown service line.

Discussion and Analysis:

On December 5, 2023, the City awarded DMc Engineering a contract for On-Call Professional Engineering Services, acknowledging their specialized expertise in managing various public improvement projects, particularly in utilities such as water and sewer facilities. This expertise is valuable as many street improvement projects involve aged or aging underground infrastructure.

DMc Engineering shall provide a project schedule showing key milestones for Service Line Inventory completion and inventory submission to the State before October 16, 2024. The project schedule should also include timeline for items not required for submission to the State as well as for additional services.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY:

Ernie Hernandez, City Manager
PREPARED BY:

Julian Lee, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT:

UPDATE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES FORM
130
Agenda Item # 8.6.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD approving THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA-GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES (Cal-OES) FORM 130.”
Background:

Every three (3) years, the State of California-Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal- OES) expects local jurisdictions to update a selection of forms, in order to be provided with funds via reimbursements, and/or grants, including disaster recovery funds. The current Form 130 needs to be adopted by City Council and provided to the Cal-OES.

Form 130 identifies the authorized agents for the agency, when financial assistance under Public Law, the Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, and the California Disaster Assistance Act are utilized.

The current need to process this Form 130 is related to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), disaster EM-3428, identified as California Covid-19, in which the City of Lynwood encountered costs, and requested recovery funds. With the completion of this form, City Council City Council Regular Meeting 483
Cal OES 130 (2.6.24).pdf
02-06-2024 Cal OES Form 130 (Resolution) - PWD.docx
the recovery project can continue and potentially receive the funds on behalf of the City. It is recommended that the City Council makes this a universal resolution and is effective for all open and future disaster and grants up to three (3) years following the date of council approval.

Discussion and Analysis:

As the Public Works Department and Community Development Department serve as the Emergency Management agency for the City of Lynwood, the analysis of this request is to place the City Manager, the Director of Public Works, and the Director of Community Development names as the authorized agents of the City of Lynwood.

Fiscal Impact:

None.

R E S O L U T I O N

Resolution T-17800: Approves 21 project proposals for $6,654,688 from the California Advanced Services Fund Broadband Adoption Account submitted in the July 2023 application round.
_________________________________________________________________

I. Summary
This Resolution approves grant funding in the amount of $6,654,688 from the California Advanced Services Fund (CASF) Broadband Adoption Account (Adoption Account) to California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF) (one call center project and three digital literacy projects), City of La Puente (La Puente) (one digital literacy project), City of Lynwood (Lynwood) (one digital literacy project), Oakland Tech Exchange (OTE) (six call center projects, six digital literacy projects, one broadband access project), Sacred Heart Community Service (SHCS) (one broadband access project) and Sourcewise (one digital literacy project). Collectively, these projects will provide digital literacy training to 2,860 participants, broadband access to 8,175 participants and broadband subscriptions to 24,429 participants.

II. Background
On October 15, 2017, Governor Brown signed Assembly Bill (AB) 1665 (Garcia) into law.

This legislation amended the statutes governing the CASF program, Public Utilities Code sections 281, 912.2, and 914.7, and added the Adoption Account, which provides grants to increase publicly available or after school broadband access and digital inclusion and allocated $20 million to the account. Eligible applicants include local governments, senior centers, schools, public libraries, non-profit organizations, and community-based organizations with programs to increase publicly available or after- school broadband access and digital inclusion. The California Public Utilities Commission (Commission) is required to give preference to programs in communities with demonstrated low broadband access, including low-income communities, senior communities, and communities facing socioeconomic barriers to broadband adoption. 495
Resolution T-17800
CD/WG1

2 On June 21, 2018, the Commission issued Decision (D).18-06-032 which implemented provisions of AB 1665 and adopted rules and guidelines for the Adoption Account (Adoption Account Guidelines). On February 21, 2019, the Commission issued D.19-02-008 modifying and clarifying the Adoption Account Guidelines.

In 2021, the Legislature deleted the minimum cumulative appropriation for each of the CASF accounts and authorized the Commission to recommend to the Legislature these appropriation amounts.1 Consequently, the Commission issued D.22-05-029 which set an appropriation amount of $20.024 million for fiscal year 2022/2023 for the Adoption Account. For fiscal year 2023/2024, the Commission issued Resolution T-17782 which set an appropriation amount of $20.24 million for the Adoption Account. These appropriations were adopted in the California Budget Act for the respective fiscal year.

In D.22-05-029, the Commission made further modifications and programmatic changes to the Adoption Account Guidelines. Key provisions of the Decision relevant to this Resolution include:
• Moneys in the Adoption Account are available to the Commission to award grants to increase publicly available or after-school broadband access and digital inclusion, such as grants for digital literacy training programs and public education to communities with limited broadband adoption, including low-income communities, senior communities, and communities facing socioeconomic barriers to broadband adoption; • Eligible applicants are local governments, senior centers, schools, public libraries, nonprofit organizations, and community-based organizations with programs to increase publicly available or after school broadband access and digital inclusion, such as digital literacy training programs;
• Projects eligible for grant funding include digital literacy projects and broadband access projects. Digital literacy projects may include digital literacy training programs and public education to communities with limited broadband adoption. Broadband access projects may include those that provide free broadband internet access in community training rooms or other public spaces. It may also include projects that perform community outreach such as analysis, comparison of Internet service plans within the community, and call centers that will increase broadband access and adoption. 2 • The Commission assigned Commission Division (CD) staff (Staff) the task of approving applications that meet the criteria for ministerial review; • Applications with grant requests that exceed $150,000 are not eligible for ministerial approval.

1 Public Utilities Code section 281, subdivision (d)(3). 2 See Decision, Slip. Op., at Section V (Appendix 2).
496
Resolution T-17800
CD/WG1

3 • Applications from nonprofit organizations that have not existed for one year or more or are from organizations that do not have at least one year’s experience conducting a digital literacy training or broadband access project or who have not completed at least one digital literacy training or broadband access project are not eligible for ministerial review. • Digital Literacy projects where the proposed project cost is above $477 per participant trained and Call Center projects where the proposed project cost is above $205 per subscription are not eligible for ministerial review.
• Applications that do not meet ministerial review criteria may still be considered for a grant by the Commission via Resolution approval.
3 III. Applicant Request
This Resolution considers the 21 projects submitted in the July 1, 2023, application round and listed in Table 1 below that do not qualify for ministerial review or to be approved through Commission resolution due to Staff discretion.4

IV. Project Evaluation Process
D.22-05-029 states that all applications be reviewed, and awarded based on completeness, overall quality, and project costs reasonableness.5

Overall Quality: All projects were reviewed based on how well they met the requirements and goals set out in D.22-05-029 to increase publicly available or after- school broadband access and digital inclusion in communities with limited broadband adoption.

3 See Decision, Slip. Op., at Section X (Appendix 2).
4 30 applicants requested a total of $15,346,089 for 96 projects (a list of all submitted projects can be found on the CASF Adoption Account website). CETF’s digital literacy projects meet the ministerial review criteria, but staff recommends they be included in this resolution since these projects are dependent on approval of the CETF call center project.
5 See D.22-05-029, Slip. Op., at Section VIII (Appendix 2). 497
Resolution T-17800
CD/WG1

4 Completeness: D.22-05-029 requires all applicants to submit a complete application package that includes the project description, work plan, performance metrics, detailed budget, cover letter, curriculum (if applicable), as well as a notarized affidavit.

Additionally, nonprofit applicants are required to provide tax documents showing their status as a nonprofit organization and documentation showing good standing with the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the California Secretary of State, or the California Department of Justice. Staff reviewed each project’s application to ensure that all the required information was submitted. If the application was incomplete, Staff requested further information from applicants to complete the application to meet program requirements.

Budget: D.22-05-029 states the Commission may fund up to 85 percent of the total eligible program costs and may reimburse for education and outreach efforts, travel, computing devices,
6 printers, network routers, switches, modems, and cabling deployed for the purpose of establishing a space for broadband access or digital literacy that connects to an existing in-building broadband network such as Wi-Fi (inside network), mobile hotspots (only when no inside network is available), administrative

5 costs (limited to 15% of the overall budget), staffing for instruction and technical support, desks, chairs, and the gathering, preparing, creating and distribution of digital literacy curriculum (see Appendix D).7 Staff reviewed each project’s budget to ensure that no more than 85 percent of eligible program costs were included and asked applicants to adjust their budgets to remove any ineligible expenses such as reimbursement for rent, utilities, internet service, lodging, and snacks. 8 Staff further reviewed project budgets, cost reasonableness and evaluated overall cost per participant. Staff evaluated the mean, median, minimum, and maximum request amount for each expense category and determined a reasonable cost for expenses, and reviewed all expenses to ensure budgeted items were attributable to a required activity.

V. Project Review and Recommendations for Funding
Staff recommends funding for the 21 projects based on the quality, completeness, and cost reasonableness of the application. See Appendix A, “Approved Project Budget and Performance Metrics,” for per-project details of the approved budget and expected outcomes.

Staff reviewed the applications and found that the following projects align with CASF’s goal to increase publicly available or after-school broadband access and digital inclusion to serve communities with limited broadband adoption and recommends approval for these projects. Details of each Adoption Account application are discussed below.

California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF) - (one call center project and three digital literacy projects)

CETF is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt nonprofit organization, established in 2005, 9 who
advocates for, promotes, and invests in programs and projects to improve access, applications, affordability, accessibility, and assistance for adoption of broadband technology, with a mission to close the digital divide in California.

CETF has a background in public outreach in promoting broadband adoption as well as supporting complimentary digital literacy efforts. CETF is known for its leadership in

6 promoting broadband adoption and for its ability to partner with both for-profit and nonprofit entities in achieving its goals. Specifically, and related to its project proposals, CETF established in 2022 the Get Connected! Call Center to support statewide Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) enrollment (the ACP provides a discount on internet service to qualifying households and households on Tribal lands).10

Call Center Project
The CETF Call Center front-end is virtual and cloud-based. It uses call routing and tracking software RingCentral and Invoca to route and track calls, respectively. CETF is partnering with seven community-based organizations (CBOs) in implementing the Call Center; the CBOs enroll eligible households into ACP, subscribe unconnected and eligible households to low-cost broadband internet. The Call Center routes calls to the CBOs on an availability basis.

As reported by CETF, in FY 2022-2023, there has been a total of 65,276 calls to the Call Center with a total of 42,198 ACP enrollments completed (not including June 2023).

CETF submitted one call center application for the Get Connected! Call Center, and three companion digital literacy projects (Get Connected! DigitalLearn – Pacific Coast, Riverside, and South Bay and Gateway Cities of Los Angeles County). The proposed overall goal of CETF in these projects is to accelerate ACP enrollment and to provide interested enrollees digital literacy training. All aspects of the Call Center will be funded by the proposed call center grant

CETF states that there are 3.6 million eligible households in California that have not enrolled in the ACP. CETF proposes to collaborate with State Agencies and 10 counties for direct notification by text to 3,600,000 and direct notification by mail to 2,000,000 ACP-eligible households and expects 36,000 to take action to enroll in the ACP. Thus, CETF projects the need to assist about 30,000 households through the Call Center (10,000 supported by CETF funds and 20,000 supported by this grant) and will support in-person ACP Enrollment Events for 5,000 households with an FCC Grant.

Altogether, CETF plans to enroll 20,000 low-income households to the ACP and low-

10 ACP is a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) benefit program that provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if they contribute matching funds. See https://www.fcc.gov/acp.

7 cost home broadband at the average cost of $216 per participant subscription.11 The cost per participant is above the ministerial review cost benchmark of $205 per participant subscription. On inquiry, the applicant explained that the volume of outreach is unprecedented and as adoption and ACP enrollment rates increase statewide, more effort (and, hence, cost) is required to reach the increasingly more economically-fragile and digitally-disadvantaged households.

Digital Literacy Projects
The goal of the submitted three digital literacy projects is to provide 200 low-income individuals (per project) with at least eight hours of digital literacy instruction. All instruction will be done virtually. Participants who enroll in ACP and low-cost Internet through the Call Center will be made aware of the availability of the digital literacy training.

Therefore, Staff recommends awarding total CASF funding for three digital literacy projects in the amount of $405,792, at the cost of $476 per participant trained program implementation costs and recommends awarding total CASF funding for one call center project in the amount of $4,311,200 at the cost of $216 per subscription participant program implementation costs with a total funding of $4,716,992 for all four CETF projects (see Appendix A).

City of La Puente (La Puente) - (one digital literacy project)

La Puente is located approximately twenty miles east of Los Angeles, with a population of over 40,000 residents. The La Puente Digital Empowerment Project: Building a Connected Community proposes to develop digital literacy programs at both the LaPuente Community Center and the La Puente Senior Center. These two facilities will address the need for access and proper equipment to bridge the digital divide for low- income families.

To accomplish these goals, La Puente will enlist a qualified Digital Equity and Adaptive Services Consultant to develop digital literacy programs and curriculum in collaboration with organizations such as EveryoneOn, Common Sense Media, and the Education Superhighway. The implementation of digital literacy classes and

11 The ACP is a federal program that has been funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021. At current rates of expenditures, the ACP will be depleted sometime in 2024. Funding may be renewed, but Congress has yet to act. If ACP funding is not renewed, CETF stated that they will continue to implement these projects with the intention to enroll low-income households to low-cost Internet and to provide needed digital literacy instruction.
501
Resolution T-17800
CD/WG1

8 workshops will be conducted with 110 one-hour curated classes over the duration of the project. La Puente has partnered with Global Urban Strategies Inc. to contract technical support firms to assist participants with technology-related challenges.

La Puente will partner with local school districts, including Bassett Unified School District and Hacienda Unified School District to coordinate efforts with its digital literacy program and the educational institutions in the community. Additionally, La Puente will partner with Del Haven Community Learning Center and Arboleda Senior Apartments to ensure the program addresses the specific needs of the project’s senior demographic. To maximize public participation in this project, La Puente will host semi-annual workshops to engage interest and address important issues affecting La Puente’s community. La Puente’s Technology Department will conduct an assessment to determine specific requirements for the computer labs.

La Puente’s goal is to provide 500 individuals with at least eight hours of digital literacy instruction. La Puente aspires to subscribe 50 participants to broadband internet services.

Therefore, Staff recommends awarding La Puente total CASF funding in the amount of $152,065 for this project, averaging $282 per participant trained program implementation costs (see Appendix A).

City of Lynwood (Lynwood) -
(one digital literacy project)

Lynwood has been providing digital literacy programs to its community for over fifteen years. According to Lynwood, its past digital literacy programs include training on device usage, online registration, and computer labs at both after school program sites and senior centers. Lynwood proposes two programs, a youth digital literacy program and a senior digital literacy program aimed at educating the needs for both groups.

Lynwood is partnering with Lynwood Partners Educational Foundation and Lynwood Unified School District to create a digital literacy curriculum for its youth and senior programs.

The youth digital literacy program is designed to foster digital competency to leverage digital tools for educational, personal, and future professional success. The program will contain modules consisting of computer fundamentals, multimedia, online safety, typing, internet safety, and database management. These courses will foster digital creativity, critical thinking, promote safety, and responsible digital behavior. The senior digital program recognizes challenges faced by its community in the digital world; this 502
Resolution T-17800
CD/WG1

9 program will offer instruction on digital literacy basics, internet navigation, email, online safety, and smart device usage.

The goal of Lynwood is to provide 850 individuals with at least eight hours of digital literacy instruction. Lynwood aspires to subscribe 75 participants to broadband internet services.

Therefore, Staff recommends awarding Lynwood total CASF funding in the amount of $151,424 for this project, averaging $165 per participant trained program implementation costs (see Appendix A for information on the approved budget and performance metrics).

Oakland Tech Exchange (OTE) -
(one broadband access project, six call center projects and six digital literacy projects)

OTE is a non-profit corporation incorporated in 2023; the IRS granted OTE 501(c)(3) status in September, 2023. The mission of OTE is “…to ensure that all families have a computer, Internet access, and technology skills necessary to improve and enhance their lives.”
12 Previous to its incorporation, OTE operated as a program of the Oakland Public Education Fund (OPEF) for over 25 years, principally serving the low-income communities of East Oakland. It was awarded CASF grants as “Tech Exchange (fiscally sponsored by Oakland Public Education Fund)” and received a grant for the Tech Exchange Tech Hub in 2018 which it successfully completed, providing broadband access to over 14,000 individuals in the local community. 13 In addition to broadband
access, OPEF (Tech Exchange) provided a suite of trainings on digital literacy skills both from Tech Exchange staff members, and from partner organizations. Tech Exchange was contracted by other CASF Adoption Account grantees to provide digital literacy instruction and has received six digital literacy grants (ongoing). Altogether Tech Exchange (as sponsored by the OPEF) has been awarded grants for 10 projects (including one call center project) and successfully completed two projects.

OTE submitted one broadband access project at the Oakland Tech Hub location, six call center projects and six digital literacy projects (each) for Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Solano counties.

12 As stated by OTE in their application.
13 OTE continues to run the Tech Hub, completed a subsequent broadband access project at the Tech Hub and is asking for further funding which is being considered in this resolution. 503
Resolution T-17800
CD/WG1

10 Broadband Access Project
For its one broadband access project, OTE plans to provide broadband access at the Tech Hub to 3,375 participants. OTE aspires subscribe 200 participants in the broadband access project to broadband internet services.

Call Center Projects
The OTE Call Center was established during the pandemic to provide remote services to residents in low-income communities of East Oakland with in-person activities that were limited by stay-at-home orders. Community members in need of devices or services can reach OTE’s multilingual Staff by phone, text, email, or social media messaging; Staff responds to all inquiries within 48 hours, with most inquiries addressed the same day. OTE uses a Salesforce-integrated ticketing system for efficient case management as well as to collect participant feedback. The Call Center was previously funded and successfully completed, serving 250 participants. The current funding request is for an expansion the OTE Call Center to address the needs of residents in six counties.

For its six call center projects, OTE plans to enroll 2,500 low-income households to the ACP and low-cost home broadband.

Digital Literacy Projects
For its six digital literacy projects, OTE plans to provide a minimum of eight hours of digital literacy training to 810 participants. All instruction will be done through a combination of virtual and in-person instructions at participating local public libraries and other locations inside each project’s local boundaries. OTE aspires to subscribe 600 participants in the digital literacy projects to broadband internet services.

Therefore, Staff recommends awarding CASF funding for the six OTE call center projects at the aggregate amount of $580,000 at the cost of $205 per broadband subscription program implementation costs; recommends awarding CASF funding for the six OTE digital literacy projects at the aggregate amount of $626,370 at the cost of $477 per participant trained program implementation costs, and recommends awarding CASF funding for the one OTE broadband access project in the amount of $150,000 at the cost of $42 per participant provided access program implementation costs.

Collectively, Staff recommends total funding of $1,356,370 for all 13 OTE projects (see Appendix A).

11 Sacred Heart Community Service (SHCS) - (one broadband access project) SHCS is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt secular human services agency, established in 1964,14 who serves low to extremely low-income Santa Clara County residents. SHCS provides homeless prevention and rapid re-housing services; provides essential services such as food, clothing, tax preparation, family services and similar; and provides education programs such as parenting classes.

SHCS has worked in partnership with CETF and the city of San Jose over a three-year period connecting low-income households to sustainably priced broadband access. As part of this program, they ensured that households have at least one computer capable of connecting to the internet and provided digital literacy classes.

The funds provided by the broadband access project proposed by SHCS will be used to furnish and reestablish the publicly available computer lab at SHCS' 1381 South First Street location. This facility will be used to provide the community with free and easy to access drop in computing and printing services, as well as to support SHCS programming surrounding economic justice, education, tax preparation, financial coaching, and job search support among other services. By providing the community with a broadband access point, this computer lab will augment supportive services already offered at SHCS as well as to provide additional services beyond what is currently offered. Community members will be able to access printing and internet services at this facility for personal use as long as they are a member of SHCS, and membership is offered to anyone in the community free of charge. Funds will also be provided for staffing for managing and monitoring the computer lab, and to perform outreach to the community specific to lab availability and activities as well as making digital literacy instruction accessible throughout the county. Altogether, SBCS goal for this project is to provide broadband access to 4,800 low-income community members and aspires to subscribe 50 participants to broadband internet services.

Therefore, Staff recommends awarding SBCS CASF funding in the amount of $227,850 for this project, averaging $42 per participant provided access program implementation costs (see Appendix A).

12 Sourcewise – (one digital literacy project)
Sourcewise is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt nonprofit organization, established in 1973,15 who provides services to older adults in Santa Clara County, especially those who are from low-income, vulnerable, and underserved households. Sourcewise provides services such as in-home assistance, meals & nutritional services, day health care, transportation, respite services, insurance counseling, legal assistance, job training and placement opportunities.

In response to the pandemic, Sourcewise developed and launched its first digital inclusion program in 2021 - the Google Home Smart Speaker pilot project. The program, provided in partnership with the California Department of Aging (CDA), worked to reduce the digital divide and social isolation among seniors, caregivers, or persons with disabilities. Starting in March of that year, Sourcewise began to work with Community Tech Network (CTN) in the provision of digital literacy instruction and to provide technical assistance to participants. In 2022, Sourcewise again partnered with the CDA and CTN in the implementation of a project to provide digital literacy instruction to low-income seniors who lived alone and had the greatest social and economic needs.

The Sourcewise Digital Connections program proposes to provide digital literacy instruction and a computer device (an iPad) to low-income seniors. The goal of this effort is to enable these low-income seniors to access telehealth services, to stay connected to family and friends, to access community resources, and to ultimately reduce isolation and loneliness and improve their quality of life. Sourcewise will initially partner with CTN to provide digital literacy training; however, CTN is providing training to Sourcewise staff so that Sourcewise will be able to provide clients direct digital literacy training in-person or virtually as the project is being implemented.

The goal of Sourcewise is to provide 100 individuals with at least eight hours of digital literacy instruction at the per participant cost of $788.49 per participant, for a total request of $81,136.
16 Sourcewise aspires to subscribe 354 participants to broadband internet services.

Sourcewise is providing 354 new iPads that will be made available to all 354 participants (no funding is being requested for the iPads). Sourcewise requested

15 As attested to by the applicant. The IRS granted Sourcewise 501(c)(3) status in 1975. 16 Sourcewise stated that they will provide less than eight hours of digital literacy training to an additional 254 participants.
506
Resolution T-17800
CD/WG1

13 additional money to provide technical support for these devices. However, per D.22- 05-029, the Adoption Account can only provide funding for technical support for computing devices subsidized through the account,17 and therefore the request for technical support cannot be included in its request for funding.

The cost per participant is above the ministerial review cost benchmark of $477 per participant trained. Sourcewise explained that the cost is higher because the location of the project is in Santa Clara County which has a higher cost of living than other areas of California. However, there are 42 digital literacy projects in Santa Clara County funded by the Adoption Account. Although three small projects were funded above the $477 benchmark, the remaining 39 projects were funded at the $477 per participant cost or lower with an average cost for all 42 projects at approximately $366 per participant (three other digital literacy projects located in Santa Clara County from the July, 2023, application round were proposed with an average cost of approximately $343 per participant trained). Given this, Staff cannot recommend funding the Sourcewise project at the requested level of funding.

Therefore, Staff recommends awarding Sourcewise CASF funding in the amount of $49,987 for this project, averaging $477 per participant program implementation costs (see Appendix A).

resignation of an appointee. Members of subsidiary public bodies shall hold office until their successors are appointed, qualified and take office. Any and all provisions of this code relating to terms of office for members of subsidiary public bodies are hereby repealed and shall be governed by the provisions of this section. (Ord. #1584, §1) LMC Subsection 2-12.1 (a)(2) states: “The city council may remove any member of any commission, board, or committee referred to in subsection 2-12.1a1 of this section at any time and without cause; provided, however, that any action of the city council to remove a member of the personnel board from office prior to the expiration of his term shall not be effective unless approved by at least four (4) councilmen.”
