DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION, PER CAPITA GRANT FUNDS AND A $198,602 APPROPRIATION FROM 2021 LEASE REVENUE BOND FUNDS FOR DESIGN
SERVICES FOR THE SUNSET PARK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: Engineering design services are required for the development of construction plans and specifications for the Sunset Park Improvement Project. Agreements for design services associated with these services require City Council approval. A copy of proposed Agreement No. 22–52 with L.D. King, Inc. is attached for City Council Review and Consideration.
BACKGROUND: The City recently obtained two separate grants associated with improvements to Sunset Park. On September 20, 2021, the City Council authorized staff to prepare an application for the California Department of Parks and Recreation, Per Capita Grant Program. Staff received notice that the application was successful and the City was awarded a total of $201,552 for the design and construction of the Sunset Park playground improvements. The project is identified by the California Department of Parks and Recreation as the Revitalization of Recreation Elements at Sunset Park.
On January 31, 2022, staff prepared and submitted an application for grant funding through the Clean California Local Grant (CCLG) Program, sponsored by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). On March 4, 2022, the City was notified of a grant award totaling $4,174,097. The awarded funds are for the construction costs associated with the Sunset Park Beautification Project. The two Sunset Park improvement grants total $4,375,649.
The Sunset Park Improvement Project will construct a bicycle trail, walking pathways, exercise stations, playground equipment, restrooms, shade structures, picnic tables, fencing, parking lot improvements, lighting, a new landscape irrigation system, and landscape improvements.
As part of the application process for the CCLG application, staff was faced with a minimal amount of time to prepare an application and meet the funding call deadline.
As with most grant applications, a quality and qualifying submittal requires some preliminary design work associated with the application submittal. Staff utilized the City’s on–call civil engineering services contract with L.D. King, Inc. to prepare the application exhibits that included a conceptual site plan and cost estimate that was used for the grant funding request.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 06/06/2022 Page 158 of 347 With L.D. King, Inc. having already performed the groundwork for the project’s design, staff requested a formal proposal from L.D. King, Inc. to complete plans and specifications for the construction of the project. The requested scope of services includes survey services, civil design services, landscape and lighting design services, preparation of a water quality management plan, geotechnical services, assistance with obtaining permits from the Army Corp of Engineers, and assistance with construction administration services. Staff was able to negotiate a service fee of $248,990 with L.D.
King, Inc. for the above–mentioned scope of work.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this agreement is provided through two separate funding sources: the California Department of Parks and Recreation, Per Capita Grant Program, and 2021 Lease Revenue Bond Proceeds.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions in relation to the Sunset Park Improvement Project:
1. Amend the 2019–2024 Capital Improvement Program to add the Project;
2. Approve Agreement No. 22–52 with L.D. King, Inc. for design services for the Project in the amount of $248,990, subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney; and
3. Authorize a $50,388 appropriation from the California Department of Parks and Recreation, Per Capita Grant funds and a $198,602 appropriation from 2021 Lease Revenue Bond funds for design services for the Project.

Consultant’s obligation to defend the Indemnified Parties is not contingent upon there being an acknowledgement of or determination of the merit of any claims, liability, demands, causes of action, suits, losses, expenses, errors, omissions and/or costs. (c) Subcontractors/Subconsultants and Indemnification. Consultant agrees to and shall obtain executed indemnity agreements in favor of the Indemnified Parties with provisions identical to those set forth from each and every Subcontractor, Sub consultant, or other person or entity involved by, for, with, or on behalf of Consultant in the performance of any aspect of this Agreement.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: JUNE 6, 2022
SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 5
FILE I.D.: PER825
DEPT.: ADMIN. SVCS.
PREPARER: M. RICHTER
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–56 WITH CPS HR CONSULTING FOR
RECRUITMENT TEST RENTAL SERVICES
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING HUMAN SERVICES DIRECTOR MARCIA RICHTER TO SIGN
SAID AGREEMENT AND RELATED DOCUMENTS
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider approval of proposed Agreement No. 22–56 with Cooperative Personnel Services dba CPS HR Consulting (CPS) for recruitment test rental services, a copy of which is attached for the City Council's review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: The Personnel Division of the Administrative Services Department conducts employment recruitments for the City’s personnel staffing vacancies. These recruitments consist of posting job advertisements, reviewing job applications for conformance with minimum and desirable qualifications, coordinating the testing and interview process, and establishing the employment eligibility list.
CPS HR Consulting (CPS) is an agency that provides integrated HR solutions to government agencies and nonprofit organizations, including but not limited to recruitment test products and services. CPS testing and assessment services range from test administration to test rental, and includes rental access to stock tests, as well as creation of semi–stock and custom tests. The City’s Personnel Division has used CPS test rental services in the past; however, a new 2–year test rental agreement is required at this time.
Although the City has a substantial bank of recruitment tests, from time to time a recruitment is held for a position that is infrequently recruited for, or infrequently filled, or may be highly specialized, such as in the case of public safety supervisory classifications. These situations may require updating a recruitment test for a number of reasons, for instance, age of the test, changes in a position, or in an effort to deter unfair advantage to those who may have applied in the past and taken the same test.
CPS would be used as a resource in a last resort scenario if other test revision options are unsuccessful or are not available (i.e. revising our own test adequately or revising that of another agency). In such a case, using the test rental services by CPS would enhance the City’s ability to assess qualified applicants for these positions.
FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact would be minimal because it is likely this service will be rarely used. Test rental consists of a base rate of $295.00 plus $9.00 per candidate plus shipping. Funds to cover the cost of this service are included in the Personnel/Risk Management, Personnel Testing section of the Administrative Services Department Fiscal Year 2021–22 Budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve Agreement No. 22–56 with CPS HR Consulting for test rental services; and
2. Authorize Human Services Director Marcia Richter to sign said Agreement and related documents.

limited to print and electronic media). For that reason, some of the below paragraphs apply under certain
circumstances. But, unless specifically limited, each
paragraph applies to all testing purposes and formats.
B. Ownership of CPS HR Tests.

3. Ownership of tests specifically developed for a client and of individual test questions supplied by Client, if any, shall be governed by a separate Agreement

C. Test Materials. Test Materials consist of all used and unused test booklets, proctors instructions, proctors
manuals, scoring instructions, key sheets, key overlays, keyed booklets, scoring keys, instructions, CDs (for oral tests), and any other materials generated at the test
administration, such as completed answer sheets (if
applicable), scratch paper, note paper and the like.
D. Test Security. CPS HR security standards are designed to protect the mutual interests of all Clients that use Test Materials as well as the interests of applicants who take CPS HR tests. In order that no person may gain special
advantage by having improper access to the material, all users must sign this Agreement and agree to fulfill its terms, before the Agreement is effective.
1. Client agrees to take all reasonable and diligent
steps to keep CPS HR tests, sample tests, and
testing processes confidential and free from
unauthorized access and use. This includes, but is
not limited to, client agreeing not to divulge, convey, copy in whole or part, duplicate, convert to another
format or medium, or otherwise disseminate tests,
portions of tests, or test materials.
2. For on-line tests, client further agrees to take all reasonable and diligent steps to prevent any
modification to or reverse engineering of the testing
software, and any transfer, storage or dissemination
of tests or testing software and data on any storage

DEPT.: HUMAN SVCS.
PREPARER: A. COLUNGA
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–57 WITH THE SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF AGING AND ADULT SERVICES TO ACCEPT AN AWARD TO
PROVIDE THE SENIOR CITIZEN NUTRITION PROGRAM
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING HUMAN SERVICES DIRECTOR MARCIA RICHTER TO SIGN
SAID AGREEMENT AND ANY AMENDMENTS THERETO
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 22–57 with the San Bernardino County Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) to accept an award to provide the Senior Citizen Nutrition Program.
Further, the City Council is requested to consider authorizing Human Services Director Richter to sign the Agreement and any amendments through its three–year term.
BACKGROUND: The San Bernardino County Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) has awarded the City a grant to continue to provide a Senior Citizen Nutrition Program for older adults, ages 60 and over. This is a cost reimbursement contract for a total contract not–to–exceed amount of $675,000 covering Fiscal Years 2022–23, 2023– 24, and 2024–25. Despite the not–to–exceed amount of $675,000 awarded, the program is subject to the availability of funds as DAAS sends the City incremental funding authorizations. The initial combined federal, state, and NSIP funding for Fiscal Year 2022–23 is $233,164. This grant funding will be used for part–time salaries, nutrition education consultant fees, training, program supplies, and catered food expenses needed to operate the program. The City of Montclair is contracted to serve up to 20,561 meals and provide 252 days of service annually.
An in–kind/matching cash minimum amount of 11.1 percent of the funding provided is required each year. The City will achieve this in–kind/matching cash amount through volunteer hours and personnel expenses already covered by the General Fund.
The term of proposed Agreement No. 22–57 is July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT: Should the City Council approve Agreement No. 22–57, with the San Bernardino County Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) the City would be awarded a grant in the not–to–exceed amount of $675,000 to provide the Senior Citizen Nutrition Program from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve Agreement No. 22–57 with the San Bernardino County Department of Aging and Adult Services to accept an award to provide the Senior Citizen Nutrition Program; and
2. Authorize Human Services Director Marcia Richter to sign said Agreement and any amendments thereto.

This applies regardless of whether or not the couple resides in a jurisdiction that recognizes same-sex marriage. However, this does not apply to registered domestic partnerships, civil unions or similar formal relationships recognized under the law of the jurisdiction of celebration as something other than a marriage. Accordingly, recipients must review and revise, as needed, any policies and procedures which interpret or apply federal statutory or regulatory references to such terms as "marriage," "spouse," “family," "household member"' or similar references to familial relationships to reflect inclusion of same-sex spouse and marriages. Any similar familial terminology references in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) statutes, regulations, or policy transmittals will be interpreted to include same-sex spouses and marriages legally entered into as described herein. [USC 7-Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act] b.

cake batter may be stored, distributed, served by or used in the preparation of any food within a food facility.
Recommended sodium content was liberalized based on the information from the 2009 National Survey of OAA participants. Data indicated that the ENP meal provides 40-50 percent of the participant’s daily intake for the more than half of the participants. Identify meals containing over 1,000 mg of sodium on the menu with an icon or asterisk referencing high sodium content.
G. Retinol Activity Equivalent (RAE)
Component Meal Pattern Requirements:
1. The California 1600-calorie component meal pattern has been developed to reflect the new DGA requirements for those programs that are not using computerized nutrient analysis.
2. The ENP Contractor has the discretion to allow occasional flexibility in planning meals that may not meet the meal pattern, but does meet the nutrient value requirements. Fortified food products and combination dishes used in a menu may not match the meal pattern, but may provide for the required nutrient values.
For example, a fortified snack bar as a dessert could be used to boost the nutrient value of a boxed lunch or special occasion meal.
3. Items that provide the following target nutrients should be identified on the menu when using a component meal pattern template:
a. Vitamin C – Provide one-third (1/3) of the DRI for vitamin C each meal – 25 mg (for a 1600-calorie menu).
b. Vitamin A – Provide one-third (1/3) of the DRI for vitamin A at least three (3) times per week, 250 µg (for a 1600-calorie menu).
c. Sodium – Meals that contain over 1,000 mg of sodium must be noted on the menu as a high sodium meal.
d. Fiber – Provide seven grams of fiber per meal. Programs may choose to average fiber content over a week.
4. Table 2 below provides an example of the elements in the California 1600-calorie meal pattern. Serving sizes are based on the USDA My Plate initiative (https://www.myplate.gov), which replaced the Food Guide Pyramid. This sample component meal pattern does not assure that meals meet one-third (1/3) of the DRIs and the DGA. Meals will require specific types of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and high fiber foods in order to assure the target nutrients are provided. The component meal pattern may be deficient in vitamins E, B12, requiring additional nutrition education for participants on the selection of foods that are good sources of these nutrients.
The meal pattern in Table two (2) below is based on the minimum requirements for a sedentary female 70 years of age. If the majority of the population served by a Contractor falls within another requirement range (i.e., active 60 year old men), the serving sizes and minimum number of servings required can be adjusted to meet the service population. ENP Contractors should verify the population served and develop menu criteria accordingly.

**Oils and soft margarines include vegetable, nut and fish oils, and soft vegetable oil spreads that have no trans-fats.
H. Meal Components – required for both computerized and component menus
1. Protein – meat, fish, poultry, legumes, eggs, and cheese:
a. A minimum of 2.0 ounces of cooked, edible portions of meat, fish, poultry, legumes, eggs, cheese, (or a combination thereof) providing at least 14 grams of protein. Programs should consider the preferences of the participants they serve.
b. Legumes should not be counted as both vegetable and protein. ENP Contractors may use other protein sources to provide the occasional vegetarian meal.
2. Vegetables (1-2 ½ cup servings):
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 06/06/2022 Page 240 of 347
ATTACHMENT C
a. Vegetables as a primary ingredient in soups, stews, casseroles, or other combination dishes should total ½ cup per serving.
b. Raw leafy vegetables (salads) should equal 1 cup if they are to be considered a serving.
3. Fruit (1 serving):
a. A serving of fruit equals:
a. 1 medium sized whole fruit.
b. ½ cup fresh, chopped, cooked, frozen, or canned drained fruit. c. ½ cup 100% fruit juice.
b. Fresh, frozen, or canned fruit should be packed in juice, light syrup, or without sugar. Fruit packed in high sugar content syrup may be rinsed before using.
4. Breads/Grains (1 ounce equivalent serving):
One-half of the daily intake of grains should be from whole grains. Grains that are processed (not whole) must be fortified. Fifty-fifty mixtures of white and brown rice meet the requirement for whole grain and have demonstrated acceptance amount ENP participants. For variety, consider serving other grains such as corn, millet, oats, or quinoa.
5. Milk (8 fl. oz.):
Each meal shall contain eight (8) fluid ounces of fortified skim, low fat, or buttermilk. If religious preference precludes the acceptance of milk with the meal, it may be omitted from the menu (however, an equivalent substitute must be used).
6. Fat (Optional):
a. Replace solid fats with plant based oils to improve diet quality without added calories.
b. Choose plant based oils which have a high percentage of beneficial monosaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
c. The DGAs encourage using oils as they contribute essential fatty acids to the diet. No food containing artificial trans-fat may be stored, distributed, served, or used in the preparation of any food within a food facility [CRFC114377].
d. Limit the consumption of solid fats. Solid fats are those that are solid at room temperature and have a high concentration of trans and saturated fats. Common sources of solid fats include butter, beef, chicken, port, stick margarine, and shortening.
7. Dessert (Optional):
a. Dessert may be provided as an option to satisfy the caloric requirements or for additional nutrients. Use fruit as a dessert as often as possible and limit sweets. The fruit, grains, and dairy products served as dessert can count towards the fruit, grain, or dairy requirements. Desserts that are low in fat and/or low in sugar are encouraged.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 06/06/2022 Page 241 of 347
ATTACHMENT C
b. When a dessert contains ½ cup of fruit per serving, it may be counted as a serving of fruit.
c. When a dessert contains the equivalent of 1 serving (1 ounce) starches/grains per serving, it may be counted as a serving of starches/grains (example: rice pudding or oatmeal cookie). d. When a dessert contains the equivalent of ½ cup of milk per serving, it may be counted as ½ serving of milk.
8. Condiments and Product Substitutes:
a. Sugar substitutes, pepper, herbal seasonings, lemon, vinegar, non-dairy coffee creamer, salt, and sugar may be provided, but should not be counted as fulfilling any part of the nutritive requirements. b. Condiments such as salad dressings, ketchup, soy sauce, mustard, and mayonnaise do not need to be counted in a menu analysis if they are served “on the side” and are not combined with the food.
9. Sodium:
a. The DGAs encourage reducing daily sodium intake to 1,500 mg per day for persons aged 51 or older, African Americans, persons who have hypertension, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease.
b. The target value for sodium is 500 mg per meal. The acceptable range is 500 - 750 mg per meal. However, the ENP meal provides 40-50 percent of the nutrient intake for the day for more than half of its participants. This fact provided the basis for establishing an acceptable ENP sodium range that is slightly higher than the DGAs recommends.
c. A potassium rich diet blunts the effect of sodium on blood pressure.
Research suggests that the general population does not consume sufficient amounts of potassium and would benefit from increasing potassium intake from foods.
d. Menu planners should take steps to reduce the levels of sodium in meals over time, including the following:
e. Focus on a stepwise reduction of sodium over time.
f. Set a goal to reduce sodium content of meals each year. For example:
g. The local ENP will reduce the sodium level of the meals by five percent (5%) over this Fiscal Year.
h. The ENP will provide not more than two high sodium meals per month. i. Maintain documentation of the reduction of sodium content of meals. j. Place potassium rich foods on the menu consistently. k. Provide nutrition education on the health impacts of high sodium intake on older adults.
l. Prepare foods without adding salt in the cooking process. m. Use herbal seasoning to replace salt.
n. Avoid potassium chloride salt substitutes. Individuals should only use these products under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 06/06/2022 Page 242 of 347
ATTACHMENT C
o. Encourage using oil and vinegar as the preferred salad dressing. Provide at least one low-sodium salad dressing option.
p. Use an icon, such as a saltshaker, to identify a high sodium meal or clearly state on the menu that this meal contains more than 1,000 mg of sodium. ENPs should establish policies and procedures for purchasing healthful foods that incorporate the DGAs’ sodium recommendations.
ENPs can participate in transforming the food service industry by creating a demand for products that are lower in sodium and working with food purveyors to purchase lower sodium foods. Responsibility to reduce the amount of sodium in the diet of all Americans falls on both the food industry and consumers.
10. Meal Component/Nutrient Analysis
A meal component/nutrient analysis of the entire menu cycle conducted and/or approved by a Registered Dietitian shall be done to ensure compliance with Title 22, Division 1.8, Chapter 4, Article 5.
11. Computerized Nutrient Analysis Requirements
a. Although not required, use of computerized nutrient analysis is strongly recommended and will help ensure and verify the nutritional adequacy of meals. The goal of assessing nutrient intakes of groups is to determine the prevalence of inadequate or excessive nutrient intakes within a particular group of individuals. While meal patterns serve as a basic framework for menu planning, Contractors are encouraged to use computerized nutrient analysis because it provides specific information on nutrients the menu may not be providing. The information that a menu is not supplying all of the desired nutrients will guide the development of future menus. As required menu elements are expanded, it is more difficult to meet all of the requirements on a daily basis. ENP Contractors should focus on:
1) Vitamin A.
2) Vitamin C.
3) Protein.
4) Fat.
5) Sodium.
6) Fiber.
b. Not all nutrient guidelines will be met with each meal. However, areas that do not meet the requirements should be the focus of future menu revisions and nutrition education.
c. The following nutrients should be included in the analysis when the computerized nutrient analysis method is used: calories; protein; carbohydrates; total fat; saturated fat; total fiber; vitamins A, C, D, E, K, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B6, folate, B12, calcium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, sodium, and zinc. In addition to meeting one-third of the DRIs, the menus should also follow the DGA.
