ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives:
1. Conduct a public hearing providing the public with an opportunity to comment on the proposed FY 2024/25 Annual Action Plan and provide an opportunity for the City Council to review the project allocations. Staff recommends this alternative J.2
Packet Pg. 499
as it will allow the grant funds to be allocated and approved within HUDs requirements.
2. Do Not conduct a public hearing providing the public with an opportunity to comment on the proposed FY 2024/25 Annual Action Plan, and NOT provide an opportunity for City Council to review the project allocations. Staff does not recommend this alternative as it will not allow the grant funds to be allocated and approved within HUDs requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT
Expenses for these programs are reimbursed by the Federal grants. The ESG program requires a 100% match that will be met by the City’s ESG subrecipients. Based on the recommended actions, there is no impact to the General Fund.
NOTIFICATION
Notice of this meeting was published in the Press -Enterprise and La Opinion newspapers on Friday, March 29, 2024. Additional notification was available through the City’s website and directly e -mailed to those who applied for funding and are on our interest list.

As the need for additional resources in our community of Moreno Valley continues to grow, our plan is to expand the impact of our community outreach programs to help meet this need. Since the scourge of the COVID-19 shutdown, we've seen a skyrocketing need for food, cleaning supplies, and hygiene products.
Further, families that are unable to eat dinner are less focused on schoolwork. The Unity Community Outreach Program consists of our Food Program and Hygiene Product Giveaway where we redistribute meals and hygiene kits for hundreds of our citizens in need. Additionally, we've distributed school supplies and toys to our local youth in need. With this $25,000 grant, Unity intends to identify, assess, refer, and connect people in crisis with the resources needed, no matter their walk of life. Through both tangible resources and social work, we hope to reduce new entries into homelessness by consistently offering services.

To Whom it May Concern:
As Mayor of Moreno Valley, I am pleased to provide this letter of support on behalf of the Center for Employment Opportunities’ (CEO’s) Congressionally Directed Spending request for the Department of Justice’s Byrne-JAG grant under the Commerce, Justice and Science title. I am confident in CEO’s ability to provide high quality, evidence -based workforce services that enable formerly incarcerated people to successfully reenter the workforce and significantly reduce that likelihood that they return to jail or prison.
The Center for Employment Opportunities’ mission is to provide immediate, effective, and comprehensive employment services exclusively to people with prior justice involvement. With its evidence-based model of life skills education, transitional work, job placement and retention services and advanced training opportunities, CEO’s model has positive impacts on public safety and has shown to increase employment rates three years post -enrollment for former CEO participants by 48 percent compared to the comparison group.
Since being elected to represent Moreno Valley in 2022, I have been committed to smart criminal justice reform efforts that make our communities safer and more prosperous. I understand the transformative power employment has for those with criminal histor ies. By partnering with CEO we can depend on their strong track record of reducing recidivism and preparing Californians to be successful after they have paid their debt to society. Since 2011 CEO has enrolled over 16,000 formerly-incarcerated Californians in their program, and I look forward to helping them further develop their services to reduce the cycles of poverty and crime in our community.
Thank you for your consideration to expand training opportunities for formerly -incarcerated individuals through evidence -based reentry programs such as CEO as an innovative way to combat crime and build public safety. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
K.1.a

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jane Halstead, CMC, City Clerk
Steve Quintanilla, City Attorney
AGENDA DATE: May 7, 2024
TITLE: CITY COUNCIL DIRECTION REGARDING FILLING CITY
COUNCIL DISTRICT #3 VACANCY
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommendations: That the City Council
1. Adopt the attached Resolution calling for a Special Election which shall be consolidated with the November 5, 2024, General Municipal Election to allow the eligible voters of the City of Moreno Valley to elect who shall serve the remaining term of the vacancy created by the resignation of the former District 3 Council Member which expires in December 2024 upon the installation of the candidate elected by the voters on November 5, 2024, to serve as the District 3 Council Member for the 2024-2028 term; or
2. Decide to make an appointment to fill the District 3 vacancy created by the resignation of the former District 3 Council Member until the installation of the candidate elected by the voters on November 5, 2024, in December 2024, to serve as the District 3 Council Member for the 2024 -2028 term, and provide direction to the City Clerk regarding appointment procedures deemed necessary and appropriate by the City Council.
BACKGROUND
On April 16, 2024, former District 3 Council Member David Marquez submitted to the City Clerk a Letter of Resignation that took effect the same day.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 1770, an immediate vacancy is created on the City Council when a Council Member submits his/her resignation to the City Clerk. In addition, Section 1770 provides that an immediate vacancy is created on the City Council upon the receipt of a Letter of Resignation by the City Clerk from the resigning K.3
Packet Pg. 548
Council Member. This simply means that there is no legal requirement that the Letter of Resignation be formally accepted by the City Council.
Moreover, pursuant to Government Code Section 36512(b), within 60 days of the date the vacancy is created (April 16, 2024), the City Council must fill the vacancy either by appointment or by calling a special election. This means the City Council will have to either fill the vacancy by appointment or call a special election to fill the remaining term of the vacancy, no later than June 15, 2024.
If the City Council chooses to fill the vacancy by appointment , pursuant to Government Code Section 36512(b)(2), since Mr. Marquez vacated his seat on the City Council in the second half of his term of office, the appointee will hold office for Mr.
Marquez’s unexpired term, which expires in December 2024, upon the installation of the candidate elected on November 5, 2024, to serve as the District No. 3 Council Member for the 2024 -2028 term. If the City Council decides to appoint to fill the vacancy, then the City Clerk respectfully requests direction from the City Council regarding, but not limited to, the following: a) whether it wants interested citizens to complete an application; b) whether the City Council wants to subject each applicant to a criminal background check; c) whether the City Council wants to allow individual Council Members to interview any of the applicants; d) whether the City Council wants to conduct open interviews in the context of a noticed City Council special or regular meeting which is required under State law to take place in open session (rather than closed session); e) whether the City Council wants the applicants to consent to disclosure of their applications which under the Public Records Act may be withheld from disclosure pursuant to holdings of Wilson v. Superior Court (Cal. App. 2d Dist. 1996), 51 Cal. App. 4th 1136 and California First Amendment Coalition v. Superior Court (Cal. App. 3d Dist. 1998), 67 Cal. App. 4th 159.
However, per Government Code Section 36512 (b)(1), if the City Council calls a special election, it must be held on one of the established regular election dates as set forth in Government Code Section 1000, not less than 114 days after the City Council calls for the special election. This means that if the City Council takes action on this matter at the meeting on May 7, 2024, the only regular election date that will not be less than 114 days of May 7, 2024, would be November’s General Municipal Election, scheduled for November 5, 2024 . Under Government Code Section 1000, the November General Election Date is the only available established regular election date that meets the requirements of Government Code Section 36512(b)(1). Incidentally, the established regular election dates under Elections Code Section 1000 include the following:
• The first Tuesday after the first Monday in March of each even -numbered year that is evenly divisible by four. [This date has passed.] • The first Tuesday after the first Monday in March of each odd- numbered year. [This date has passed.]
• The second Tuesday of April in each even -numbered year . [This date has passed.]
K.3
Packet Pg. 549
• The first Tuesday after the first Monday in June in each even -numbered year that is not evenly divisible by four. [This date falls within 114 days of May 7, 2024.]
• The first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of each year. [ This date is the only one that falls beyond 114 days from May 7, 2024.]
It is important to note that the purpose of calling a special election is to allow the voters to decide who will fill the District 3 “vacancy” for the remainder of the term, which ends in December 2024, upon the installation of the candidate elected on November 5, 2024, to fill the subsequent 2024 -2028 term for District 3. This means that since the special election will be consolidated with the general municipal election, there be two District 3 seats on the November 2024 ballot: 1) Special Election to fill the remaining term of the subject vacancy which ends in December 2024, upon the installation of the candidate elected to fill the subsequent District 3 2024 -2028 term; and 2) General Election to fill the District 3 2024 -2028 term. Due to the fleeting nature of the remaining term of the subject vacancy, if there in only one or no candidates for the remaining term of the vacant seat, Elections Code Section 10229(a) provides that the City Council with the following options: 1) if there is only one candidate, the City Council may appoint the candidate to the fill the remaining term of the vacant seat; 2) if there are no candidates, the City Council may appoint an eligible candidate (elector) to fill the remaining term of the vacant seat; or 3) hold the special election, if there are no candidates or only one candidate to fill the remaining term of the vacant seat.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council has the following alternatives:
1. Adopt the attached Resolution calling for a Special Election which shall be consolidated with the November 5, 2024, General Municipal Election to allow the eligible voters of the City of Moreno Valley to elect who shall fill the remaining term of the vacant seat , which ends in December 2024, upon the installation of the candidate elected on November 5, 2024, to fill the subsequent District 3 2024-2028 term; or
2. Decide to make an appointment to fill the remaining term of the vacant seat , which ends in December 2024, upon the installation of the candidate elected on November 5, 2024, to fill the subsequent District 3 2024-2028 term.
Staff has no preferred alternative.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will not be any significant additional fiscal impact if the City Council calls a special election since the special election will be consolidated with the November 5, 2024, General Municipal Election ballot. However, if the City Council decides to appoint to fill the vacancy, there may be costs associated with preparing applications, conducting any necessary criminal background checks, arranging interviews, etc.
