REPORT NARRATIVE:
The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council with an opportunity to consider a first amendment to the City’s maintenance service agreement with West Coast Arborists, Inc. If approved, the amendment will increase the amount of the agreement by $200,000 to $852,000.
Tree services costs have been higher than anticipated due to emergency tree work and tree removal during a busier than normal storm season, a large amount of tree work adjacent to Woodland Estates for safety purposes, and a large amount of tree work needed around Utility sites for state inspection. As a result, there is an inadequate remaining balance on the contract through September 30, 2024. By increasing the amount of the agreement by $200,000, routine grid pruning and unanticipated tree work for safety reasons will be funded through September 30, 2024.
The additional emergency tree work completed was due to several factors. First, the contract was initiated just prior to the significant storms that occurred in the Winter of
5 2022/23. The contractor provided significant services during these storms. Second, some very large sycamore trees adjacent to housing at Woodland Estates required removal and trimming work. Due to the very large size of these trees, significant costs were incurred. Finally, additional unforeseen tree service work was needed at several utility sites to protect the City's utility infrastructure.
The City has released RFPs and contracted for tree services for many years, and does not have the staffing resources or the equipment to perform the work internally.
Services provided include routine grid pruning, tree trimming and removal for safety, arborist reports, and emergence response services. The City’s current contract expires on September 30, 2024. The original amount of the agreement was for $652,000 for two years.
Staff have been satisfied with the services performed by West Coast Arborists, Inc., and recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the attached first amendment to the agreement.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Inform
This staff report services to inform the community of the proposed amendment to the West Coast Arborists, Inc. maintenance agreement.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The City Council could decline to approve the amendment and instead direct staff to terminate the agreement and proceed with a request for proposals (RFP) for tree maintenance services. This alternative is not recommended as it would jeopardize ongoing tree maintenance and safety.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
The Council has previously approved contracts for tree maintenance services for over a decade. The City Council previously awarded the current agreement to West Coast Arborists, Inc on September 28, 2022.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
If approved, the total funding authorization for this agreement will increase to $852,000.
Funding for the tree maintenance services is included in many areas of the City’s operating budget (Fund 010) including street Maintenance, Park Maintenance, Downtown Maintenance, as well as Landscape Assessment Districts and various Capital Improvement Projects. An additional budget appropriation of funding is not necessary at this time as the City has seen lower expenses in other areas of the Street Maintenance budget, and funding for much of the unforeseen work has been funded through various alternative funding sources (Utilities Funds and Capital Project Funds).
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Categorical Exemption
5 The activities described in this Staff Report are categorically exempt under CEQA, specifically pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines (Existing Facilities), as the subject work involves the repair, maintenance or minor alteration of existing City facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use of those facilities.

REPORT NARRATIVE:
The most recent Council Chamber project included a complete remodel and installation of all new audio/video (A/V) equipment and was completed in 2014. The A/V equipment necessary for the operation of Council and commission meetings is well past its end of life and in need of replacement. Several pieces of equipment and operations are functioning with temporary fixes as we can no longer get support or replace many pieces of equipment. As per our ongoing evaluation of A/V equipment needs, it has become imperative to address the replacement and upgrade of our existing
6 infrastructure. The current equipment has served us well. However, obsolete equipment and technology, technological advancements, and evolving requirements necessitate an upgrade to ensure optimal performance and meet our organizational objectives and community expectations. Staff recommends a sole-source purchase of A/V infrastructure and equipment. In our evaluation of audio/video equipment needs, it's evident that replacing and upgrading our existing infrastructure is essential to meet evolving requirements and ensure optimal performance.
In addition to completely overhauling the Council Chamber A/V system, here is a list of improvements and upgrades that are included in the project:
• High-definition video production for livestream broadcast and Zoom. • Complete audio system refresh, including a discussion microphone system, allowing for added flexibility with workshop setups.
• An assistive listening system provides two ways for people to listen: they can use a device provided to them at the meeting or their cell phone or tablet. • In addition to all new cameras, two new cameras will be installed to improve the video for those watching remotely.
• The new system will include automation features for a better overall video product.
• A speaker timer that is built into the broadcast feed. • A character generator that allows text and graphics to be added to the broadcast, such as a list of agenda items, meeting dates, etc.
• Installation of new A/V equipment, including all new cabling, mic, HDMI inputs, etc.
• New laser projectors will be used to improve the viewability of the presentation screens.
• Touchscreen monitors at each seat at the dais allowing the council members and commissioners to see presentations and videos more easily.
Section 3.04.140 - Competitive bid purchases over twenty-five thousand dollars and up to the amount authorized to be performed by the employees of a public agency for public projects per the State of California's Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act states that the city manager may elect to make any purchase in any amount (except as the laws of the state otherwise require) in the following cases:
• By city manager approval upon a determination that competitive bids upon notice would not likely result in a lower price to the city from a responsible bidder or would cause unnecessary expense or delay under the circumstances. This report recommends the sole source purchase of A/V equipment replacement and upgrades from Solutionz Inc. due to several factors aligned with our procurement policies for such situations.
Justification for Sole Source Purchase:
6 • Established Relationship: Solutionz Inc. has been our trusted vendor for a considerable time, and we have fostered a strong working relationship with them.
This familiarity with our organization's needs and processes streamlines communication and ensures efficient project execution.
• Excellent Customer Service: Solutionz Inc. has consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellent customer service over the last decade. Their responsiveness, technical expertise, and willingness to promptly address concerns have been commendable.
• Unique and Specialized Work: The nature of this project involves unique and specialized requirements that align closely with Solutionz Inc.'s expertise. Their prior experience installing our current infrastructure positions them as the most suitable vendor to undertake this task seamlessly.
• Cost and Time Considerations: Given the specialized nature of the work and Solutionz Inc.'s intimate knowledge of our setup, soliciting bids from multiple vendors is unlikely to result in cost savings. Moreover, the procurement process itself would consume valuable time, delaying the implementation of necessary upgrades.
• Risk Mitigation: Engaging another vendor could introduce risks such as incompatible equipment, additional integration work, or unforeseen expenses.
Solutionz Inc.'s proposal includes comprehensive upgrades that align with our requirements, minimizing the likelihood of unexpected costs or complications.
Solutionz Inc., the current vendor with whom we've fostered a strong working relationship, is uniquely positioned to undertake this specialized task seamlessly. Their consistent commitment to excellent customer service, coupled with their prior experience in installing our current infrastructure, aligns closely with our project requirements. Given the specialized nature of the work and Solutionz Inc.'s intimate knowledge of our setup, soliciting bids from multiple vendors is unlikely to result in cost savings and would delay necessary upgrades. Engaging another vendor could introduce risks such as incompatible equipment or unforeseen expenses, whereas Solutionz Inc.'s proposal includes comprehensive upgrades that minimize the likelihood of unexpected costs or complications. Therefore, it is recommended that we proceed with a sole source purchase from Solutionz Inc. for the replacement and upgrade of our audio/video equipment, as their proven track record, expertise, and understanding of our organization's needs make them the optimal choice for ensuring a successful project outcome.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
This report serves to inform the community of the City's Council Chamber Audio/Visual Equipment replacement and upgrade.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
Council could direct staff to solicit bids for the Council Chamber A/V replacement and upgrade project, which could result in a significant delay to the project.
6 PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
None.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
$75,000 will be funded from the Public Facilities Impact Fee Fund (347); $180,000 will be funded from the General Fund (010); and $256,612 will be funded from the Information Systems Fund (730) for a total project cost, including a 10% contingency of $511,612. There is sufficient funding available in the current budget for the Public Facilities Impact Fee Fund and the General Fund. A budget adjustment in the amount of $256,612 is needed for the Information Systems Fund.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Not a project. The project includes the purchase and installation of A/V equipment, which does not have the potential to directly affect the physical environment.

SCOPE OF WORK
Overview
The City of Morgan Hill would like to upgrade their Council Chamber AV systems to achieve the following goals:
- High Definition (HD) Production for Zoom & Broadcast
The existing Production System only offers two standard definition cameras to be sent to Zoom, requires a lot of interaction to point cameras, recall presets, and put together a Broadcast-ready signal for recording and distribution. It is desired to use some level of automation to automatically select a camera preset based on microphone activation. The existing Leightronix Recorder/Billboard/Playout System utilizes Windows 7 and must be replaced.
Production Outputs
Charter Cable Encoder
YouTube/Facebook Live
Camera feed to Zoom
Civic Plus Encoder
It’s not known how Civic Plus encodes a stream or if you intend to use this feature. You will be able to feed streams to YouTube, Facebook Live, and Civic Plus using a Restream Account with 3 stream licenses. If Civic Plus includes an Encoder, we will feed it appropriate audio & video.
- Audio Upgrade
The existing Biamp Nexia series Audio Processor is well past end-of-life.
The microphones are old and long discontinued.
Any solution must include Remote Microphone Muting capability to allow the ability of the Clerk or Production Operator to mute or unmute a member microphone.
It will include a new 2 ch Assistive Listening System with the ability for people to use their own phones for listening.
New Power Amplifiers to feed Speakers.
- PC Refresh
We will install (4) new PCs for:
Zoom PC to replace Laptop
Presentation
PC for Video Billboard/Playout administration
Clerk PC with two Video Heads
o The PCXs will be provided by the City.
- Control Upgrade
The existing Control Processor and Touch Panels are long discontinued and no longer supported. New hardware and programing is required.
- Additional Feature Requests
o Discussion Microphone System with 16 Mics and Remote Mute capability
EXHIBIT A
P a g e 4 | 12
o Dais Touch Panels and Voting
o Streaming Encoder Refresh with Recording capability
o Projector refresh
HD Production System
o Cameras (6)
Council - We will replace the (4) existing Standard
Definition Cameras with Vaddio RoboShot 30E HD
Cameras with SDI Output.
o We will pull new cable and reuse the
mounting location for all cameras
o We will add a 5th camera to provide a
dedicated wide shot of the Dais to use when
a camera must move between shots.
o We will include a 6th camera on the North Wall of Dais Platform for an additional angle on Table Discussions.
o All Cameras will be Black unless you request white. There is no price difference.
o Production Room
Production Switcher
You need an HD Video Switcher with a minimum of (5) SDI Inputs for cameras and (2) HDMI Inputs for Presentation and VTC PCs. We have included a FOR-A HVS-100 which can be remotely controlled by the Control System (for automation options) and includes a physical controller for manual operation.
The Aux Bus will be used to select an outgoing signal for the VTC System. We do not want to send the incoming Zoom signal back to them. So when the Far End is talking, the system will automatically send an image the Dais Wide shot back to the person talking.
Video Switching Automation (Included)
o This allows the Broadcast signal to automatically show the camera preset for the person who is actively talking.
o For the Council, there will be one camera at the back that always has a wide shot. This may be full width to capture the entire room, but will generally be zoomed in to capture all applicable Council or Board members. There will also be four “Closeup” Cameras. If a camera needs to move to another preset for the same camera, the wide shot will always appear between the two shots so the camera image will never be seen while moving.
o Mode
The automation software operates in your choice of three modes:
o Full Automation – All cameras and position/zoom presets are selected and switched automatically based on microphone data, selected modes, and selected operational options. Outgoing VTC video is also selected automatically – Chamber wide shot when
P a g e 5 | 12
someone remote is speaking so they don’t see themselves o Power Assist - All cameras and position/zoom presets are selected based on microphone data, selected modes, and selected
operational options. However, the proposed Council shot is placed in Preview rather than program. The operator may use this suggestion or select another and then “Take” when ready. o Full Manual – Council Camera/VTC selection is fully handled by the Production Operator.
Speaker Timer
The Speaker Timer can be set to any amount of time the Clerk, or Mayor/Chair chooses. A default (such as 2:00 minutes) may be adjusted at any time. The Timer appears at the bottom of the Broadcast Screen, the in-Room Displays, on the Touch Panels, and on the outgoing video sent to Broadcast & Public VTC (Zoom).
Character Generator (CG)
We will provide a device which will allow you to add Graphics to your Broadcasts. In addition to City Logo, Date & Time at all times, we will provide the ability to enter the name of the meeting, a standardized list of Agenda items for each Meeting type, and on-screen Speaker Timer. If you select the Dais Touch Monitors and Voting Option, the system will also show the members Name and Title whenever they speak long enough for the camera to provide a closeup.
Here is an example from the City of Newman:

o We will provide (3) 55” Monitors to refresh the existing (2) Monitors in the Dais Well and the existing 55” Monitor on a cart.
P a g e 8 | 12
Production Console
We will utilize your existing rack and console frame.
We will place the Production Switcher Controller, 22” Touch Monitor and Wireless keyboard & Mouse on the counter. The Wireless Keyboard and Mouse may be assigned to any of the three PCs. We will reuse two of your existing Standard Definition TV/Monitors on top of the console for Cable TV confidence monitoring. We have included powered speakers that may be assigned to listen to any source or submix. Equipment will be installed in the main rack and under the console much as it is now.
Production Monitors
o We will add a 20.5” Monitor on the left to display the Multiview output of the Production Switcher. This will display all 6 cameras, the active Presentation Signal, the VTC PC, Preview and Program.
o We will install (4) new 17” Monitors in the Console. (Your existing 17” Rack Monitor should be retained as a Spare.
One monitor will display the master Broadcast signal post Character Generator.
One will display the Switcher Multiview output showing the cameras, Preview & Program.
One will be dedicated to Video Conference
The fourth one may display either the active presentation PC, AirMedia, or the output of the Producer’s admin PC which may be used for such things as the Cablecast Broadcast
Billboard/Scheduled Playout System, the Character Generator, the Streaming Encoder/Recorder, YouTube Studio, or any other administrative purpose.
P a g e 9 | 12
o We will reuse at least one of your existing Standard Definition monitors/TVs to allow monitoring of your Standard Definition Broadcast signals (i.e. Comcast).
o The Producer may use their Touch Monitor to assign PCs or AirMedia to the Assignable Monitor as well as select assignment of the Logitech Keyboard and Mouse.
Streaming Encoder/Recorder
o We have provided an option to provide a new Audio & Video Streaming Encoder and Recorder. The encoding stream may be automatically initiated when the Record button is pressed on the Touch Panel. The unit will record stream at a higher rate than the stream if desired. This unit may also be used to create an audio only recording if desired. After the recording is stopped, the file may be uploaded to a desired network storage, as well as left on the local recorder drive if desired.
Replace Projectors – 16,000 Lumen
o We will replace all three projectors with Panasonic PT-MZ16 series 16,000 Lumen UXGA Laser-based Projectors. We have included Long Throw Lenses and appropriate mounting hardware.
Audio System Refresh
o We have included (12) microphones to replace all Dais Microphones.
These will have programmable buttons and LEDs which will be set to push on and push off. They may also be controlled by the Clerk, Producer, or the respective Dais Touch Monitors.
o Your existing wireless microphones are actually operating on frequencies that are not supposed to be used for Wireless Microphones. The FAA turned that frequency band over to Emergency Services and other purposed. We will provide (2) new Wireless Handheld Microphone Systems.
o We will replace the Biamp Nexia audio processing with current generation Biamp Tesira Server hardware.
The Inputs will support Acoustic Echo Cancellation on every microphone channel.
The system includes a VoIP telephone interface to allow connection of public or and/or members via a simple voice only connection.
We have provided an option for expansion of the audio system to support up to (16) Table Microphone discussion system.
o We will install a new energy efficient 8-channel amplifier to provide extended reliable
P a g e 10 | 12
life.
o The existing Ceiling Speakers will be reused.
o We will provide a new Assistive Listening System including, at your request, (4) Rechargeable Receivers with Ear Speakers. Since you expressed interest in WiFI based Assistive Listening to allow users to use their own Phone or tablet, we have provided a WiFi-based system that can provide two channels (e.g. English & Foreign) to users running the Listen Everywhere App. We will also provide (4) WiFi-based Receivers with Ear Speakers and (2) Inductive neck Loops for use by those with Hearing Aids that support this.
o Discussion Microphone System
We have provided a subsystem that includes (16) Desk Microphones, Cables, and a portable case with Input Plate, power distribution, and a device to provide Dante encoding and logic Interface for remote muting control from the microphone itself, or the Clerk or Producer Touch Panels. We will also include additional Audio
Processing in the Rack to support these as well as the
engineering and programming to integrate seamlessly as
part of the system including audio and video conferencing.
This option includes a small Network Switch so we can
transport all audio and control over a single LAN Jack in the Floor Box. We have included (16) 25’ Mic Extension Cables (this is addition to the 10’ cable attached to each
Microphone.)
Control System
o Control Processor
A new Control System will be installed and programmed to facilitate the system functions. Both the Clerk and the Producer will get a 22” Touch Panel which will allow:
Chamber Projector Power and Screen
Presentation & VTC Source Selection for Display in the Chamber Audio Control
Speech Volume within the Chamber
Presentation Volume within the Chamber
VTC Volume within the Chamber
Public Audio On/Off
Production
Video Preview
Camera Switching Automation Controls
Member Titles & Agenda Graphics selection
Audio Monitoring Selection and Volume
Stream/Recording Start/Stop
Additional functions will be available as noted with certain options
P a g e 11 | 12
o Dais Touch Monitors & Voting
We have provided an option to provide (7) 22”
Touch Monitors for the Dais Members.
A very low profile mount will be used that allows
the monitor to lay barely higher than the modest
rail.
Each member will see Presentation or Zoom Video,
be able to control their micro phone mute, and be
able to Vote. The Mayor position will be able to
start and close Voting (if desired, as the Clerk may
also do this), control Lectern Microphone Mute,
and control the Timer.
If desired, you may also implement the Request to Speak (RTS) feature. This allows for use of Parliamentary Procedure with each member pressing a button indicating their Request to Speak. The Mayor/Chair may recognize their choice of speaker and thus enable their microphone. Any member may also immediately disregard the RTS function and unmute their microphone.
Using Meeting Editor, an administrator may enter the name of any group that meets in that room, list the names of all members, their display titles for Broadcast, their voting rights, and if they get a Request to Speak Display Queue. Each member logs in by selecting their name from a list on the screen after the Clerk selects and “starts” the Meeting (this is actually usually done well ahead of the meeting actually starting.) o Ethernet Switch
We will provide two Netgear 40-port managed switches with POE+ sufficient to power all devices and switch all video streams without blocking. If you desire, we will connect to your network at one point and use an IP addressing scheme appropriate.

REPORT NARRATIVE:
2023 Military Equipment Use Report
The Police Department has completed its 2023 Annual Military Equipment Use Report and presented it to our community at a town hall meeting located at the City Council Chambers on April 10, 2024. The Annual Report is included as an attachment for review and approval. The community present at the town hall meeting were in support of the
7 continued use of military equipment and in support of the additional equipment requested in this staff report.
Armored Rescue Vehicle Purchase
In 2008, the Santa Clara County Sheriffs Office (SCCSO) completed and submitted a grant application through the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) program for a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and high yield Explosives (CBRNE) Armored Rescue Vehicle (ARV) in the amount of $310,000.
In 2010, UASI agreed to fund the SCCSO's grant application with stipulations that the acquired armored rescue vehicle would be a mutual aid resource shared by SCCSO, the Morgan Hill Police Department (MHPD), and the Gilroy Police Department (GPD) and stored in south Santa Clara County, to reduce response times during critical incidents. At that time, all three agencies agreed to these requirements and agreed to store the ARV at the GPD, with SCCSO being the Grant Manager, ensuring compliance with the grant requirements. GPD was selected as the primary storage facility because it is located in south Santa Clara County, the ARV could be stored indoors, and GPD is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The City of Gilroy also agreed to provide preventative maintenance on the ARV. In 2011, SCCSO, MHPD, and GPD took possession of the CBRNE-equipped Lenco BearCat, and the ARV was housed at GPD until 2021. The City of Gilroy Fleet Department performed regular vehicle maintenance on the ARV from 2011 until 2021.
In September 2021, Governor Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill (AB) 481, relating to the use of "military equipment" by law enforcement agencies. AB 481 requires a law enforcement agency to obtain approval from the applicable governing body via the adoption of a "military equipment" use policy before funding, acquiring, or using military equipment. The passage of AB 481 mandated more stringent control over the usage of the ARV. It justified the SCCSO's removal of the ARV from GPD and south Santa Clara County by relocating it to their facility in San Jose.
In April 2021, SCCSO staff picked up the ARV from GPD and subsequently implemented restrictions on its usage until an official checkout process could be established and monitored by SCCSO staff. We have tried to work with the SCCSO to find some common ground that would be in the best interests of all three impacted agencies, but these efforts have been unsuccessful due to state mandates imposed by AB 481.
Over the proceeding months, SCCSO staff established a strict checkout process that required completion of the process before any other agency could use the ARV. The checkout process consists of the following steps:
• A telephone call to SCCSO administration asking for permission to use the ARV.
This step in the process can take up to an hour because SCCSO administration is not always available to field telephone calls immediately. • After authorization is approved, the requesting agency must drive to San Jose, where the ARV is stored. This step in the process can take up to an hour and a
7 half, depending on the time of day and traffic conditions. • The requesting agency may need to wait for an SCCSO employee to respond and let them into the secured garage. The facility the SCCSO has chosen to store the ARV is not staffed 24 hours a day, and during those off hours, the requesting agency may have to wait an extended period to be given access to the secured garage.
• The requesting agency will need to perform a physical inspection of the ARV as part of the checkout inspection process. During rapidly evolving events, the emergency response of vital equipment is crucial to the preservation of life. • After the checkout inspection process has been completed, the ARV can be driven to south Santa Clara County to be deployed. Again, this step in the process can take up to an hour and a half, depending on the time of day and traffic conditions.
As previously stated, the entire checkout process takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the timing of the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office Administration, the availability of the ARV, the SCCSO staff availability to the garage, and then traffic conditions to and from San Jose. The relocation of the ARV from Gilroy to San Jose has drastically increased the response time of a vital lifesaving piece of equipment.
The process of returning the ARV to the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office is similar to the checkout process.
In addition to the lengthy checkout process, there have been numerous times over the past two years when the SCCSO has not been able to approve our use of the ARV. The SCCSO staff has provided us with the following justifications:
• The ARV is down for maintenance;
• The ARV is already in use;
• The ARV has been blocked out for use by SCCSO; and
• The ARV is not authorized for community events.
The SCCSO advised us that the ARV could not be used for any community events such as Coffee with a Cop and National Night Out. In the interest of transparency, these are optional opportunities for community members to familiarize themselves with our vehicles and pieces of equipment personally.
Additionally, when we have requested the ARV for our special events, additional restrictions have been placed on where we can store or park the ARV. For example, we are required to ensure the vehicle is out of sight from the public, which would require us to house the ARV at the police department. By not storing the ARV at the location of the special event, this would cause a delay in a rapid response to a critical incident.
There have been five documented incidents within the past three years when the
7 deployment of the ARV was critically needed to minimize the exposure of police officer safety, secure proximity to tactical observations, provide time to formulate de-escalation plans, and conduct safe suspect apprehension. The ARV was not available during the following critical incidents:
January 2023 - A subject inside a residence, brandishing a knife, kicked in a door and threatened the reporting party. Upon police arrival, the subject locked himself in an upstairs bedroom and refused to come out. SCCSO advised the ARV was not available due to maintenance. Negotiations with the subject were limited by his isolation in the bedroom and our stand-off distance. De-escalation was attempted but had limited success due to our inability to get close enough to communicate effectively with the subject. The subject was eventually taken into custody after surrendering.
January 2023 - Pre-planned service of a search warrant related to convicted felons in possession of firearms and ammunition. Per the SCCSO, the ARV was not available due to the severity of the crimes. We reached out to Campbell Police Department (CPD), which graciously agreed to assist with their ARV and two police officers. CPD's ARV was used to establish communication with the residents using the vehicle's integrated two-way intercom system. De-escalation tactics were employed, and the residents cooperated with the service of the search warrant.
November 2022 - The Merced Police Department tracked a homicide suspect to Gilroy and located him at a local hotel. The subject was wanted for the shooting murder of a 9- month-old child, and the weapon in this crime was still outstanding. By the time the lengthy checkout process with the SCCSO was completed, the suspect had left the hotel on foot, and our SWAT Team officers were forced to utilize unarmored vehicles and took the suspect into custody, with an increase to the SWAT Team officers' and the public's safety.
August 2021 - During a domestic dispute, the suspect armed himself with a shotgun and discharged multiple rounds inside the residence. The shotgun rounds did not hit anyone and the suspect was eventually contacted and arrested. An ARV would have been used to initiate verbal contact with the suspect. However, we did not have the staff available to go through the lengthy checkout process for the ARV. The ARV would have been used during this event as the vehicle's ballistic protection provides a safe environment for our police officers to employ de-escalation techniques and establish clear communication with the suspect using the vehicle's integrated two-way intercom system.
November 2021 - An arrest warrant was served at the residence of a homicide suspect.
The homicide involved a firearm, and the firearm was not located. SCCSO advised the ARV was unavailable, and due to the severity of the crime, we reached out to Santa Clara Police Department (SCPD), which agreed to assist with their ARV and two police officers. SCPD's ARV was used to establish communication with the residents using the vehicle's integrated two-way intercom system. De-escalation tactics were employed, and the residents cooperated with the service of the arrest warrant.
7 The Police Department is requesting authorization to replace our shared ARV. As the federal government's purchasing agent, the General Services Administration (GSA) connects federal purchasers with the most cost-effective and high-quality commercial products and services. This justification is used to purchase the ARV through GSA Advantage. GSA Advantage sources different government contracts that are not competitively bid but have substantive cost savings across the board. Overall, the City of Morgan Hill will save 5% on the purchase when compared with open market prices.
The Lenco BearCat is an Armored Rescue Vehicle specifically designed for public safety with ballistic protection designed to enhance police officer and citizen safety during high-risk search warrants, hostage situations, armed barricaded subjects, active shooter incidents, and other dangerous critical incidents. The ARV would be used as a rescue vehicle to save lives, provide safety for the medical personnel treating victims, provide safe proximity for crisis negotiations at the scene, and provide the ability to safely deliver equipment, supplies, and other necessities during high-risk operations.
Additionally, the vehicle's ballistic protection provides an environment for our police officers to de-escalate incidents with potentially armed suspects. • The term "armored" is not to be confused with the term "armed." An armored vehicle is simply a vehicle with ballistic resistance capabilities and has no weapons mounted or attached to the vehicle.
• The term "ballistic" has to do with the field of mechanics concerning launch, flight behavior, and impact effects of projectiles. The Armored Rescue Vehicle ballistic protection rating is not the same as the generalized term of being "bulletproof," which is more commonly used but is inaccurate.
The Lenco BearCat is the same brand of armored rescue vehicle currently utilized by the Morgan Hill Police Department as well as all surrounding municipalities and agencies. The standardization of this vehicle allows for additional personnel from neighboring law enforcement agencies to have the necessary knowledge of the ARV's operation and capabilities. Purchasing the same brand of ARV eliminates the need for additional training and the associated costs of maintaining a different type of vehicle.
The Lenco BearCat is based on a Ford F-550 Super Duty commercial truck chassis. It is the only ARV with a 131-inch wheelbase, thus allowing the compact vehicle to have a tighter turning radius than larger options. The smaller turning radius allows the user to navigate through city streets and traffic with greater maneuverability.
Morgan Hill Police Department is committed to using best practices and contemporary law enforcement equipment to enhance our ability to provide the highest level of public safety to our community. ARVs have been and continue to be employed by the MHPD and law enforcement agencies across the country to enhance the safety of the community and law enforcement members. These items provide police officers with the ability to safely resolve volatile situations and critical incidents that potentially would become lethal force encounters. Our current policies provide our police officers with guidelines for using and maintaining an ARV, and it is already listed in our annual equipment inventory report to the City Council.
7 The use of an ARV is critical to Morgan Hill Police Department's mission and will continue to be strictly regulated through our internal processes and oversight. MHPD Policy 708 is our Equipment Use Policy, and it outlines each item identified in Government Code section 7070 that the City of Morgan Hill currently owns. MHPD Policy 708 includes the specifics of each item, its intended use, and its cost.
Additionally, MHPD Policy 708 protects the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties and ensures safeguards, including transparency, oversight, and accountability measures.
Colt Carbine Rifle Purchase
The Morgan Hill Police Department is requesting the purchase of five new Colt Carbine rifles for operational use. Each police officer in our department is issued a patrol rifle as part of their duty equipment. Prior to deploying such equipment, the police officer must complete a three-day California Police Officers Standards and Training (POST) course.
The five additional rifles will ensure new police officers will have an assigned rifle and that the police department has spare rifles to be issued to our police officers during the annual maintenance of the rifles. This staff report provides a comprehensive justification for the procurement of these new rifles.
Operational Necessity:
The Colt carbine rifle is renowned for its reliability, accuracy, and versatility. It is widely used by law enforcement agencies globally. Given the nature of our operations, there is a critical need for firearms that offer superior performance and adaptability in various scenarios. Colt carbine rifles align seamlessly with these requirements, ensuring our personnel are equipped with the necessary tools to effectively carry out their duties while maintaining the highest standards of safety and precision.
Compatibility and Standardization:
Standardization of equipment is essential for streamlined operations and logistical efficiency. Introducing five new Colt carbine rifles ensures uniformity in our firearm inventory, simplifying maintenance, training, and deployment procedures. Moreover, compatibility with existing accessories, such as optics, magazines, and tactical attachments, further enhances the effectiveness and versatility of our operational capabilities.
Reliability and Durability:
The reputation of Colt carbine rifles for robustness and durability is well-established.
These firearms have undergone rigorous testing and have proven their reliability in various environments and conditions. Ensuring the reliability of our equipment is paramount to the safety and effectiveness of our personnel. By acquiring Colt carbine rifles, we can trust in their performance, even in the most demanding situations, thus mitigating the risk of equipment failure and ensuring operational continuity.
Enhanced Performance and Accuracy:
The accuracy and precision offered by the Colt carbine rifles significantly improve the
7 effectiveness of our personnel in engaging targets with precision. Whether engaging threats at close range or far range, the superior performance of these firearms enhances our operational capabilities and situational awareness, ultimately contributing to mission success and personnel safety.
Cost-Effectiveness:
The durability and longevity of these firearms, coupled with their minimal maintenance requirements, result in lower life-cycle costs compared to alternative options.
Additionally, the standardization of equipment reduces training costs and simplifies inventory management, further optimizing resource allocation, and operational efficiency.
The acquisition of five new Colt carbine patrol rifles is justified based on operational necessity, compatibility, reliability, performance, and cost-effectiveness. These firearms will significantly enhance our operational capabilities, ensuring our personnel are equipped with the best tools to accomplish their missions safely and effectively.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
On April 10, 2024, members of the Morgan Hill Police Department held a town hall meeting to discuss the 2023 Controlled Equipment Annual Report. We discussed the purchase of the Armored Rescue Vehicle and the purchase of the five additional patrol rifles. During this meeting, we learned the members that attended were in support of the purchase of the BearCat and patrol rifles for the safety of our community. Additionally, we shared with our community the need for these purchases and current constraints we face using the SCCSO BearCat.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
Our staff has researched and evaluated potential Armored Rescue Vehicle options and found all ARVs currently in use by law enforcement agencies in Santa Clara County are the Lenco BearCat. Our staff is familiar with and has twelve years of experience and training with the Lenco BearCat. If all agencies in Santa Clara County continue to use the Lenco BearCat, this would allow for more seamless cross-training between agencies and safer deployments of personnel because they are familiar with the operation of this vehicle platform.
Our staff believes that there is no reasonable alternative to the Lenco BearCat.
Additionally, staff has not discovered alternative products that can achieve the same objectives or safety.
Staff also believes there is no reasonable alternative to the Colt carbine rifle. This is the current weapon system being utilized by the police department, and switching weapon systems would require additional training and increase the overall operating budget of the police department.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
In 2022, the City Council approved the use of controlled equipment as outlined in
7 Government Code section 7070. This approval included the use of an Armored Rescue Vehicle and the use of Colt Carbine Patrol Rifles.
In 2023, the City Council approved the continued use of controlled equipment by the police department.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
The recommended replacement/purchase of the Armored Rescue Vehicle in an amount not to exceed $410,000 will be made from the Police Department's Unclaimed Account ($283,000) (010.00.00.0000.29820) and the Vehicle Replacement Fund in the amount of ($127,000) (790.00.10.8500.43830). The funds used from vehicle replacement have been set aside to replace the current SWAT vehicle. However, the vehicle is still in good operational condition, has low mileage, and does not need to be replaced.
The recommended purchase of the five Colt carbine rifles, in an amount not to exceed $9,000, will be made from the Police Department's FY23/24 operating budget. Sufficient funding exists in the department's operating budget to support the recommended purchase.

2 Controlled Equipment Annual Report 2023
Executive Summary
On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved AB-481, requiring law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of the applicable governing body (Mayor and City Council) by adopting a military equipment use policy. The Department is required to seek City Council approval of their military equipment or controlled equipment use procedure by ordinance at a regular open meeting prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined.
The bill allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment or controlled equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the controlled equipment meets specified standards. The ordinance is subject to an annual City Council review to determine whether, based on an annual controlled equipment report, the standards set forth in the approving ordinance have been met. The City Council may renew the authorizing ordinance, disapprove authorization for special controlled equipment where standards have not been met, or require modifications to the controlled equipment use procedure to address any non-compliance with standards.
Finally, the bill requires the publication of the controlled equipment use procedure and the annual controlled equipment report on the Department's website. The controlled equipment use procedure must be posted on the website at least thirty (30) days before the City Council meeting.
California Government Code section 7072 requires an annual report within a year of the policy approval and annually after that for as long as the controlled equipment is in use. The annual report must contain the following information:
(1) A summary of how the equipment was used and the purpose of its use. (2) A summary of any complaints or concerns from members of the public about the equipment. (3) The results of an internal audit, including any information about violations of the equipment use policy and any actions taken in response.
(4) The total annual cost for each type of equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing expenses; and from what source funds will be provided for the controlled equipment in the calendar year following submission of the annual report.
(5) The quantity possessed for each type of controlled equipment. (6) If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional controlled equipment next year, and the quantity sought for each type of qualifying equipment.
The Police Department shall hold at least one (1) well-publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting. The public may discuss and ask questions regarding the annual report, the law enforcement agency's funding, acquisition, and/or the use of the controlled equipment.
The Morgan Hill Police Department recognizes the public's ongoing interest in how controlled equipment

is used to protect our community. We are committed to maintaining our community's trust in providing professional and responsive police services. As such, the Morgan Hill Police Department has authored the following comprehensive Controlled Equipment Annual Report to remain transparent with our community and in accordance with annual reporting requirements set forth by applicable California Law.
Introduction
The Morgan Hill Police Department is committed to the protection of lives and property by working with our community and providing professional and responsive police services. To accomplish our mission effectively and safely, the Morgan Hill Police Department possesses and utilizes certain specialized equipment (military equipment or controlled equipment) to safeguard the citizens of Morgan Hill and protect our first responders. While our inventory of controlled equipment varies, the mere possession of this equipment does not warrant its use. The merits and the totality of the circumstances of each unique incident are considered before controlled equipment is utilized in compliance with department policy and law.
The term "military equipment or controlled equipment," as used in Assembly Bill 481, does not necessarily indicate the equipment is or has been used by the military. Many items defined as "military equipment or controlled equipment" by the bill are often used by law enforcement to preserve life and enhance public and officer safety while remaining prepared to handle the various lethal and non-lethal challenges facing our communities. The Morgan Hill Police Department's use of controlled equipment is consistent with overall best practices employed by police departments nationwide.
Items used by the Morgan Hill Police Department that are considered military equipment or controlled equipment under Assembly Bill 481 include but are not limited to, emergency response equipment such as command vehicles and armored rescue vehicles, less-lethal shotguns, less-lethal 40mm projectile launchers, precision weapons such as rifles, unmanned aircraft systems, and other select items. The continued access to and use of this equipment is vital in ensuring our officers have the appropriate tools to de-escalate situations, preserve life, ensure safety for all people, and protect civil liberties.
This Controlled Equipment Annual Report outlines a summary of the equipment usage guidelines, inventory, fiscal impact, complaints, and reported community concerns for the calendar year 2023 (January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023).
Summary of Controlled Equipment Usage
4 Controlled Equipment Annual Report 2023
The Morgan Hill Police Department provides law enforcement services twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, serving a city population of over 45,500. The Department is committed to de-escalating situations, and using force is reserved for instances where less intrusive options are not feasible. In 2023, the Morgan Hill Police Department responded to approximately 37,501 calls for service. Of those calls for service, officers used force on thirteen (13) occasions, representing .0003% of the total calls for service.
Officers utilized controlled equipment in two (2) cases involving the use of force.
Police events and critical incidents are often dynamic and unpredictable. The availability and use of specific equipment are necessary for incident commanders, officers, and specialized units to resolve incidents safely and effectively. It is incumbent upon incident commanders, supervisors, individual officers, and specialized teams to recognize the circumstances wherein specialized equipment should be deployed and to utilize the equipment within the confines of department policy and State law. Each use of military equipment is later reviewed to ensure it was used appropriately based on the totality of the circumstances known to the officers at the time and with a special focus on maintaining community and officer safety, civil rights, California Law, and information available at the time of use.
The Morgan Hill Police Department recognizes that critical incidents are unpredictable and can be very dynamic in nature. A variety of military equipment options can greatly assist incident commanders, officers, and specific units in bringing those incidents to a swift resolution in a safe manner. While the Morgan Hill Police Department's inventory of military equipment is varied, the mere possession of the equipment does not warrant its use for every incident. The use of military equipment is restricted to use only in certain instances and, in some cases, only by certain units.
This section outlines the controlled equipment usage for 2023. Certain items of controlled equipment, particularly consumables (ammunition, diversionary devices, pepper balls, chemical agents, etc.) are used throughout the year regularly for training in order to maintain proficiency. Training usage is not captured in this section. This section only provides data for the operational use of controlled equipment listed within this Annual Equipment Report.
