PREPARER: M. BUTLER
SUBJECT: CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE RECEIPT OF A $5,772.85 GRANT FROM THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 PATRICK LEAHY BULLETPROOF VEST PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM TO ASSIST

WITH THE PURCHASE OF BALLISTIC VESTS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider authorizing the receipt of a $5,772.85 grant from the Fiscal Year 2024 Patrick Leahy Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) Program to assist with the purchase of ballistic vests for the Police Department.

BACKGROUND: The U.S. Bureau of Justice Assistance administers the BVP Program, created by the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Act of 1998, which assists state, local, and tribal jurisdictions in purchasing body armor for sworn law enforcement officers.

The BVP Program reimburses agencies for up to 50 percent of the total cost of body armor vests that comply with the most current National Institute of Justice ballistic body armor standards.

Each year, staff applies for the BVP Program to assist with the cost of ballistic vests. Last month, the Montclair Police Department was awarded $5,772.85, which would cover half the cost of approximately 13 vests. The Department has a mandatory–wear policy for all officers, and each ballistic vest has a five–year replacement cycle. The Department is committed to maximizing officer safety through the use of body armor in combination with prescribed safety procedures. BVP federal funds would be used to replace five– year–old vests and to issue vests to newly hired officers.

FISCAL IMPACT: If approved by the City Council, the Department would receive $5,772.85 toward the purchase of ballistic vests from the BVP Program. The Police Department’s Fiscal Year 2024–25 Budget includes funds for the purchase of ballistic body armor, and the BVP federal funds would be used to reimburse the City up to 50 percent per vest. Federal funds in this program are available until August 31, 2026, or until all available funds have been requested.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council authorize the receipt of a $5,772.85 grant from the Fiscal Year 2024 Bulletproof Vest Partnership Program to assist with the purchase of ballistic vests for the Police Department.

ITEM NO.: 3
FILE I.D.: STA919A

PREPARER: R. HOERNING
SUBJECT: CONSIDER FINDING THE ARROW HIGHWAY AND FREMONT AVENUE IMPROVEMENT

PROJECTS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM CEQA, MAKING A DE MINIMIS FINDING

OF NO EFFECT ON FISH AND WILDLIFE, AND AUTHORIZING STAFF TO FILE A NOTICE

OF EXEMPTION FOR THESE PROJECTS
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider finding the Arrow Highway and Fremont Avenue Improvement Projects categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), making a de minimis finding of no effect on fish and wildlife, and authorizing staff to file a notice of exemption for these projects.

A copy of proposed Notice of Categorical Exemption form for each project is attached for the City Council’s review and consideration.

BACKGROUND: On December 2, 2019, the City Council approved the City of Montclair Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2019–20 through 2023–24 to ensure that long–range capital project objectives will receive proper consideration. The Arrow Highway and Fremont Avenue Improvement Projects are also a part of the proposed Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2024–2029, as presented to the City Council at an adjourned meeting on September 16, 2024.

Arrow Highway and Fremont Avenue improvements are part of the North Montclair revitalization effort, which includes incorporating complete streets concepts and street beautification elements. The project was broken into three phases. The first phase of work is being coordinated with the Village Partners Development and is under construction. The remaining two phases of work include the improvements on Arrow Highway from the San Antonio Creek Channel (West of Monte Vista Avenue) to Central Avenue, and Fremont Avenue from Moreno Street to Arrow Highway.

The work on Arrow Highway includes:
 rehabilitation of the roadway;
 installation of a landscaped median and on–street parking area planters;  traffic signal interconnect and fiber optic communication facilities;  traffic signal upgrades; and
 construction of sewer main facilities in Arrow Highway and Monte Vista Avenue from Arrow Highway to Richton, per the 2022 Sewer Master Plan Update.

The improvements on Fremont Avenue include:
 roadway rehabilitation;
 implementation of a Class II bicycle lane connector to the Montclair Transcenter;  new/enhanced landscaping, sidewalk, and ADA ramps; and  lighting features to improve walkability.

MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/07/2024 Page 6 of 53 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The project qualifies as a Class 1 exemption under Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Section 15301covers “minor alteration(s) of existing public or private structures […] involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency’s determination”; specifically Section 15301(c) exempts “Existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails and similar facilities (this includes road grading for the purpose of public safety).”
As previously mentioned, this project will include constructing new infill sidewalk to provide safe pedestrian connectivity, enhanced sidewalk to improve safety and walkability, new and upgraded ADA access ramps, enhanced sidewalk crossing markings, upgraded and enhanced signage, improved street lighting, and bicycle lane enhancements on existing streets.

FISCAL IMPACT: It will cost approximately $50 in fees to file each Categorical Exemption, plus the cost of staff time. The estimated construction expense for the remaining phases of Arrow Highway and Fremont Avenue improvements is approximately $6,615,000, of which $975,000 will be grant–funded, $1,070,000 will be paid from the Sewer Fund, and $4,570,000 will be local funds.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council find the Arrow Highway and Fremont Avenue Improvement Projects to be categorically exempt from CEQA, make a de minimis finding of no effect on fish and wildlife, and authorize staff to file a Notice of Exemption for these Projects.

ITEM NO.: 4
FILE I.D.: MCF100
DEPT.: HUMAN SVCS./MCF
PREPARER: A. COLUNGA
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF WHOLE TURKEYS AND ASSORTED ITEMS

FOR THE MONTCLAIR HOLIDAY FOOD AND TOY BASKET PROGRAM
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The Montclair Community Foundation (MCF) Board of Directors is requested to consider approval to use funds donated to MCF to purchase turkeys and other assorted items for the Holiday Food and Toy Basket Program.

BACKGROUND: The Montclair City Council also serves in its capacity as the MCF Board of Directors. The vision of MCF is to work collectively and collaboratively to strengthen services and enhance the quality of life for residents by promoting health, wellness, and economic stability for all including the most vulnerable in our community. The mission of MCF is to guarantee a quality community for all, by working together as diverse, committed individuals and organizations to make an impact that improves the overall well–being of the community.

For 39 years, the City has coordinated the Holiday Food and Toy Basket Program to provide low–income families in Montclair with a basket of food to prepare a holiday meal and toys for their children. Since 2015, MCF has partnered with the City to provide turkeys and assorted food items that are given to each of the qualified food basket recipients. Funded entirely through the generous food, toy, and monetary donations to MCF from businesses, organizations, and individuals throughout the community, the Holiday Food and Toy Basket Program was able to supply nearly 550 disadvantaged Montclair children, their family members, and senior citizens with a holiday meal last year.

To ensure those in need in our community receive the provisions they need during the holiday season, staff recommends the purchase of whole turkeys and assorted food items to provide each Holiday Food and Toy Basket recipient with ingredients for a complete holiday meal. The costs of the program will be paid for with donations to MCF.

Staff recommends using $20,000 of funds donated to MCF to purchase whole turkeys and assorted food and toys for the Holiday Food & Toy Basket Program.

FISCAL IMPACT: Should the MCF Board approve the purchase of turkeys and assorted items, the City will make the purchase for the Holiday Food and Toy Basket Program, and MCF will reimburse the City through donated funds.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Montclair Community Foundation Board approve the purchase of whole turkeys and assorted items for the Holiday Food and Toy Basket Program.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: OCTOBER 7, 2024
SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 1
FILE I.D.: PDT175/362/905
DEPT.: POLICE
PREPARER: M. BUTLER
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 24–75 WITH THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY (OTS) FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE 2025 SELECTIVE TRAFFIC

ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM (STEP) AND ACCEPTANCE OF A GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $61,000
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING A $61,000 APPROPRIATION FROM THE PUBLIC SAFETY

GRANT FUND TO COVER OTS STEP ACTIVITIES
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 24–75 with the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for acceptance of the 2025 Federal Fiscal Year Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grant, and to authorize a $61,000 appropriation from the Public Safety Grant Fund to cover all project expenses associated with participation in STEP. Grant funding is designed to reduce traffic–related deaths and injuries through directed traffic enforcement operations, provide educational programs, and promote awareness campaigns that deter impaired and distracted driving.

A copy of proposed Agreement No. 24–75 is attached for the City Council's review and consideration.

BACKGROUND: OTS partners with government subdivisions of the state, such as law enforcement agencies, to address California’s highway safety needs at the state, county, and local levels. These subdivisions are invited to submit projects for possible incorporation into OTS’s Highway Safety Plan to receive grant funding, which would be used to implement strategies that focus on reducing the number of persons killed and injured in crashes involving alcohol and other primary collision factors. The mission of OTS is to “effectively administer traffic safety grants that deliver innovative programs and eliminate traffic fatalities and injuries on California roadways.” The Police Department recently received notification from OTS that its application for funding a traffic safety program was approved in the amount of $61,000. Participation in the OTS grant program would require the City to initially pay for project expenses, including personnel overtime, travel expenses, phlebotomy services, one radar device, and supplies for driving–under–the–influence (DUI) checkpoints. The City would then invoice OTS for reimbursement of all costs incurred during the grant period of October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025.

Acceptance of the grant agreement would enable the Police Department to further accomplish the goals and objectives established for the Department's Traffic Safety Division. The funded strategies of STEP include, but are not limited to, training of sworn personnel in standardized field sobriety testing and impaired driving enforcement; DUI checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols; traffic enforcement operations; distracted driving enforcement operations; motorcycle safety enforcement operations; pedestrian and bicycle enforcement operations; traffic safety educational presentations; and implementation of public awareness campaigns designed to educate the public on MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/07/2024 Page 11 of 53 occupant protection, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and the dangers of impaired and distracted driving. In addition, the Department would participate in community collaboration and engagement activities with community members to address current traffic safety issues.

FISCAL IMPACT: If approved by the City Council, all project expenses associated with participation in the OTS grant program would result in an appropriation from the Public Safety Grant Fund (1163) in the amount of $61,000. The City would receive full reimbursement from the 2025 OTS STEP grant.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:

1. Approve Agreement No. 24–75 with the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for participation in the 2025 Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) and acceptance of a grant in the amount of $61,000; and

2. Authorize a $61,000 appropriation from the Public Safety Grant Fund to cover OTS STEP activities.

Schedule A

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The City of Montclair covers 5.5 square miles with a population of now 38,488, which is growing at a rate of

1.37 percent annually. Its population has increased by 1.5 percent since the 2020 US Census. Many new residential developments have been added to the City including many multi-story housing projects. There have been recent redevelopments to the City's main shopping mall, Montclair Place, including the addition of a 17,000 square foot music and entertainment venue; an 11,000 square foot indoor playground designed for kids; and a new 2-level, 134,000 square foot entertainment and dining wing featuring a dine-in theatre.

Along with an increase in population and newly desired destinations that promote living, working, shopping, and entertainment experiences comes an increase in motorists traveling the City’s streets. While City officials are committed to making the City a transit-oriented community, the burdening of City streets and the need for traffic enforcement cannot be overlooked.

While the residential, commercial, and transitory population has and will continue to grow, the Montclair Police Department’s front-line law enforcement staff has been operating for several years below optimal deployment levels. Due to personnel turnover and vacancies, the agency has been unable to staff its Traffic Safety Division since May 2018, which includes two motor officers. In order to meet the community’s law enforcement needs, priority has been given to staff patrol teams to respond to emergency calls for service.

The increase in population and commercial development coupled with staffing shortages of sworn personnel has significantly diminished our ability to effectively address traffic enforcement-related concerns. In 2022, we had 10 fatal crashes and 244 injury crashes—and Montclair is only 5.54 square miles.

According to in-house crash data research, in 2020, the City had 16 out of 186 (9%) injury crashes that were alcohol related and 1 fatal alcohol crash that resulted in 3 fatalities. In 2021, 25 out of 236 (11%) injury crashes were alcohol related, and the City had 2 fatal alcohol-involved crashes with a total of 2 fatalities. In 2022, Montclair had 35 out of 244 (14%) injury crashes that were alcohol related and 5 fatal alcohol crashes that resulted in 5 fatalities. The number of alcohol related crashes causing injury and death has increased over the past three years, clearly demonstrating the need for enforcement operations focusing on impaired drivers.

The Montclair Police Department was awarded a FFY 2021 STEP grant, which began in October of 2020 and ended on September 30, 2021. The agency noted 105 DUI arrests (alcohol-involved) in 2019 and 71 in 2020. During the grant period, there was a slight increase to 87 DUI arrests in 2021; however, there were 27 alcohol-involved fatal or injury crashes in 2021, which is comparable to 2019 where there were 24. There were, however, fewer alcohol-involved fatal or injury crashes in 2020, which totaled 17. Due to extremely low patrol staffing levels in 2022, the Department did not apply for a FFY 2022 STEP grant and had to decline its FFY 2023 STEP grant award. During this time, the Department has experienced an increase in alcoholinvolved crashes causing injury and death.

The Department has recently hired several new officers that will attend SFST and ARIDE training—training that is highly needed in order to conduct DUI checkpoints and DUI saturation patrol operations. Highly trained officers will assist with meeting grant goals and objectives as well as assist in efforts to attain an optimum traffic safety program.

From 2020 through 2022, the primary crash factors (PCFs) in the City of Montclair that resulted in injury or death were improper turning, unsafe speed, and driving under the influence. Improper turning accounts for 359 crashes causing 124 injury crashes and 1 fatal crash. Unsafe speed caused 205 crashes with 100 injury crashes. And driving under the influence caused 202 crashes with 65 injury crashes and 6 fatal crashes.

After analyzing in-house crash data, it was discovered that from 2020 through 2022, 2 motorcyclists have been killed and 36 have been injured. By conducting highly publicized motorcycle safety enforcement operations in areas with a high number of motorcycle crashes, the Montclair Police Department will reduce the number of injured persons and fatalities caused by motorcycle related crashes.

MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/07/2024 Page 16 of 53 10/1/2024 6:12:29 PM Page 5 of 20
According to in-house crash data, there were 4 pedestrians injured in 2020 out of 186 injury crashes; 10 were injured in 2021 out of 236 injury crashes—2 pedestrians were killed in 2021; and 8 were injured in 2022 out of 244 injury crashes—4 pedestrians were also killed in 2022. From 2020 through 2022, there have been 31 bicyclists injured with 1 fatality. Operations will focus in areas with a high number of pedestrian and bicycle crashes resulting from violations made by pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers.

The Montclair Police Department was awarded a FFY 2021 OTS STEP grant, which began in October 2020 and ended on September 30, 2021. During this grant period, the Department completed nearly all of its grant objectives despite the challenges of traversing during a pandemic and completing operations with a Department struggling with officer vacancies. Officers utilized grant funds to conduct operations that focused on impaired driving, the agency’s three top primary crash factors, motorcycle safety, and pedestrian/bicycle safety. At the conclusion of the grant, traffic injuries increased by 17.1%; pedestrian injuries increased by

33.3% with one fatality; bicyclist injuries increased by 33.3%; alcohol-involved injuries increased by 25% with one fatality; drug-involved injuries increased by 100% (the previous reporting period saw no druginvolved injuries); alcohol/drug combo-involved injuries increased by 33.3%; motorcyclist injuries decreased by 50%, but there was one fatality; hit-and-run injuries increased by 15.8% with one fatality; and nighttime injuries increased by 77.8%.

Officers currently enforce traffic violations when observed during the performance of their daily primary patrol duties. Oftentimes, officers have very little time for directed traffic enforcement, focusing their efforts instead on responding to calls for service that are criminal in nature. Over the last three years, the Department has been operating with several vacant police officer positions, relying on overtime funding in order to ensure minimum deployment levels are maintained causing a deficiency in directed traffic enforcement operations.

The focus of Montclair’s traffic enforcement efforts is all persons who utilize roadways whether they live, work, or shop in the City or are just passing through. The overall objective is to make Montclair’s roadways safe for all motorists through increased traffic enforcement and education. Impaired and distracted drivers pose a significant risk of injury or death not only to themselves but to their passengers, other motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists.

CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: OCTOBER 7, 2024
SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 2
FILE I.D.: PDT360
DEPT.: POLICE/INFO. TECH.

PREPARER: M. BUTLER/J. NGUYEN
SUBJECT: CONSIDER AUTHORIZING A $12,500 APPROPRIATION FROM THE FEDERAL ASSET FORFEITURE FUND AND AN ALLOCATION OF $7,480.86 FROM THE INFORMATION

TECHNOLOGY CAPITAL OUTLAY FUND TO INSTALL FIBER OPTIC CONNECTIONS FOR

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 24–78 WITH MATRIX AUDIO VISUAL

DESIGNS FOR THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF FIBER OPTIC CONNECTIONS REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider authorizing a $12,500 appropriation from the Federal Asset Forfeiture Fund and an allocation of $7,480.86 from the Information Technology Capital Outlay Fund to purchase and install fiber optic connections for the Police Department; and to approve Agreement No. 24–78 with Matrix Audio Visual Designs for the purchase and installation of the equipment.

A copy of Agreement No. 24–78 is attached for the City Council’s review and consideration.

BACKGROUND: In June 2024, the City Council authorized a $12,500 appropriation from the Federal Asset Forfeiture Fund for cellular data service for in–car camera routers.

Since then, the Information Technology Department has negotiated a discount with Verizon Wireless for a $25,000 credit toward this service. Thus, the previously–approved appropriation of $12,500 for this service was not needed. Therefore, staff is requesting to reallocate these funds towards a critical infrastructure project for the installation of fiber optic connections at the Police Department.

The Police Department’s recent acquisition and implementation of body–worn cameras has significantly increased the amount of video and audio data that must be uploaded and downloaded to cloud storage, requiring enhanced network bandwidth. As a result, staff recommends installing a much–needed fiber interconnection. This upgrade is vital to improving the reliability and efficiency of the network, especially given the increasing network traffic demands. Installing the fiber optic connections would provide an increase in bandwidth resulting in up to 1,000 times faster upload and download speeds throughout the Department’s network. This increase in speed is essential for efficient data transfers without disrupting or slowing down other network functions. Ensuring smooth network operations is critical to maintaining the Department’s operational effectiveness, especially as the reliance on digital systems and data storage grows.

Staff contacted three vendors for proposals to complete the fiber installation project:

Vendor Bid Amount
Matrix Audio Visual Designs $19,980.86
Mac Communications $22,860.00
HAAG Networking LLC $26,592.44
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/07/2024 Page 33 of 53 After a thorough evaluation, Matrix Audio Visual Designs was selected as the most cost– effective and reliable vendor. Matrix Audio Visual Designs has worked on many projects with the City and has consistently demonstrated high–quality craftsmanship and reliability. This vendor’s expertise and commitment to resolving issues quickly has proven invaluable to the Information Technology Department. Based on its track record and superior proposal, staff recommends Matrix Audio Visual Designs to complete the fiber interconnection project that would ensure the network improvements meet the Police Department’s growing demands.

This investment is essential for supporting the Department’s ongoing technological needs, ensuring network reliability, and enabling efficient operations in the digital age.

Additionally, it is vital for sustaining the Police Department’s mission–critical operations and safeguarding the well–being of Montclair’s residents.

FISCAL IMPACT: If authorized by the City Council, funding for fiber interconnections would result in an appropriation from Police Department’s Federal Asset Forfeiture Fund 1144 in the amount of $12,500. The remaining balance of $7,480.86 to cover the cost for Agreement No. 24–78 would be covered using the Information Technology Capital Outlay Fund (Account No. 1001–4203–62010–400–00000).

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council

1. Authorize a $12,500 appropriation from the Federal Asset Forfeiture Fund and an allocation of $7,480.86 from the Information Technology Department Capital Outlay Fund to install fiber optic connections for the Police Department

2. Approve Agreement No. 24–78 with Matrix Audio Visual Designs for the purchase and installation of fiber optic connections.

ITEM NO.: 1
FILE I.D.: STB300–17
DEPT.: FINANCE
PREPARER: C. GRAVES
SUBJECT: CONSIDER ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 24–3456 AUTHORIZING PLACEMENT OF

LIENS ON CERTAIN PROPERTIES FOR DELINQUENT SEWER AND TRASH CHARGES REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: Staff has identified 146 sewer and trash accounts in the even–numbered–month billing cycle that are more than three billing periods delinquent. Pursuant to Montclair Municipal Code Chapter 1.12, these properties are subject to lien.

BACKGROUND: Ordinance No. 02–815 authorizes the placement of liens on properties on which delinquent civil debts have accrued and makes property owners responsible for delinquent sewer and trash charges accrued after the effective date of the Ordinance (March 1, 2002) for accounts in tenants' names. Prior to the City Council's adoption of Ordinance No. 02–815, property owners were responsible for only those accounts in their own names.

FISCAL IMPACT: Recoverable amount is $51,592.12, plus $2,920.00 for release of lien fees, plus $7,300.00 in lien fees, for a total of $61,812.12.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 24–3456 authorizing placement of liens on certain properties for delinquent sewer and trash charges.

III. COUNCIL WORKSHOP
A. Capital Improvement Program
Public Works Director/City Engineer Heredia presented the proposed FY 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program, covering Streets & Safety, Facility, Park, and Sewer Improvements.

Mayor Dutrey inquired about funding gaps, to which City Manager Starr explained that many projects are long-term, with ongoing efforts to secure grants. Funding could also come from current and future bonds.

Mayor Pro Tem Johnson questioned the initiation of large projects without guaranteed funding.

Public Works Director/City Engineer Heredia clarified that the City develops conceptual plans to pursue grants, but many grants require “shovel-ready” status.

City Manager Starr added that construction would not commence until funding is fully secured, with the possibility of substituting allocated funds with grants to free up resources.

Council Member Ruh appreciated the funding allocation before project commencement and asked about improvements near schools.

Public Works Director/City Engineer Heredia reported that school districts show no interest in partnerships and expect the City to fully fund requested improvements near schools.

Council Member Ruh sought details on the Benson Avenue Street Rehabilitation Project, which includes painting, striping, and possibly reconfiguring the road for bicycles. He voiced opposition to the reconfiguration due to low cyclist usage and potential traffic congestion.

City Manager Starr advised of a collaborative effort with Upland and Ontario and community meetings to obtain public input regarding proposed Benson Avenue improvements.

Council Member Martinez asked if projects over $10 million can depend solely on grants.

Public Works Director/City Engineer Heredia stated that if grants are not secured, the funding plan would need revision to identify alternate funding sources, which could include City funds.

Council Member Lopez asked if estimated future project costs take inflation into account.

Public Works Director/City Engineer Heredia confirmed they include a ten percent inflationary increase.
