AGENDA REPORT

Department: Fire Department
Prepared by: Brian Krepps, Battalion Chief
Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 19, 2023
Approved by: Ben Martinez, Interim City Manager

SUBJECT:

Authorize the Purchase of a Utility/Command Vehicle for the Fire Department.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution Entitled, "Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Authorizing the Informal Bid Process Pursuant to National City Municipal Code Section 2.60.210, Open Market Procedure When Informal Bidding Required, Regarding the Purchasing of the lowest of three bids and Authorizing the City to purchase from Perry Ford of National City One (1) Ford Super-Duty F-350 Lariat 4X4 Crew Cab Pickup Not-to-Exceed Amount of $74,986.00 for the Fire Department and Authorizing the City Manager to Approve Adjustments to the Not-to-Exceed Amount for the Purchase of up to $78,736.00 as a 5% Contingency for Unforeseen Fluctuations in Pricing; 2) Approving Appropriations from the General Fund and Vehicle Replacement Fund in the Amount of $78,736.00 including a 5% Contingency Based on Increased Revenue from the Lower Sweetwater Fire Protection District; and 3) Adding the Vehicle to the Vehicle Replacement Schedule Based on Annual Reimbursements from the California Office of Emergency Services.”

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

Not Applicable.

EXPLANATION:

The National City Fire Department is requesting the purchase of a 2023 Ford Super -Duty F-350 Lariat 4x4 Crew Cab Pickup to be utilized as a utility/command vehicle, which can be deployed to various wildfires and national disasters throughout the state of California. This vehicle will be utilized by Fire Department personnel at major incidents in the capacity of either leading a strike team of five fire engines or in a single resource support role. The California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) will reimburse the City of National City to the amount of $230.00 per day of the vehicle deployment, which typically lasts between 1 6 and 23 days per incident and the Fire Department responds to approximately 10-15 incidents each year.

The Fire Department identified a need for the vehicle during the last budget preparation cycle; however, funding from the vehicle replacement fund wa s not sufficient for the City to purchase this vehicle so it was not included in the FY24 CIP budget for vehicle acquisitions. Moreover, at the time, we had committed the balance of the Lower Sweetwater Fire Protection District equipment replacement funds to the purchase of cardiac monitors at the direction of the Director of Emergency Services Parra. The City now has a funding source through Lower Sweetwater to repay the vehicle replacement fund this fiscal year for the cost of the vehicle.

Fire Department personnel are leading the effort with operational support and process review from Engineering & Public Works (EPW) staff because this vehicle purchase is taking place outside of the CIP process. Once the vehicle is acquired, it will become part of th e City’s Fleet

Page 56 of 223 ends

and will be maintained, per the manufacturer’s recommended schedule, and repaired, when needed, by EPW’s Fleet & Equipment Maintenance division.

The vehicle will be used for several needs within the Fire Department. Currently, we have no utility vehicle to transport building materials for training, and often firefighters are utilizing their personal vehicle for such details. Additionally, the Fire Department also has a need for a vehicle to support the transportation of our Community Eme rgency Response Team (CERT) trailer housed at Fire Station 33 and this would support that need as well. Lastly, during Tropical Storm Hilary we identified a need for a trailer to house the emergency shelter supplies, which are currently stored in MLK. Having the ability to transport the shelter supplies to a site not affected by the disaster-taking place is critical to our emergency operations and to do so we would need a vehicle of this type to support that mission.

NCMC Section 2.60.210, Open market procedure used when informal bidding required, of the National City Municipal code provides that informal bidding shall be required and whenever practicable, shall be based on at least three bids, and be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder submitting in all respects the best bid for value.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt resolution as stated.

001-12125-3555 $78,736

AGENDA REPORT

Department: Library and Community Services
Prepared by: Joyce Ryan, Library & Community Services Director Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 19, 2023
Approved by: Ben Martinez, Interim City Manager

SUBJECT:

California Library Sustainability Grant Funds Acceptance

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution Entitled, “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Accepting the California Library’s Sustainable California Grant in the Amount of $30,000 to Fund the National City Public Library’ s Tool Lending Program for FY 202 4 and Authorizing the Establishment of a Library Grants Fund Appropriation of $30,000 and Corresponding Revenue Budget.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

Approved by Board of Library Trustees at the regular meeting of September 6, 2023.

EXPLANATION:

The California Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funded Sustainable California Libraries grants to provide libraries with the opportunity to design programming and educati onal opportunities that focus on sustainability and climate resilience.

The National City Public Library will establish a tool lending program called “U-Tool-ize,” allowing free access to a diverse range of tools and equipment that promotes sustainable pr actices and environmental stewardship, personal empowerment, and community sharing.

Exclusively focused on gasoline -free equipment, “U-Tool-ize” is expected to help users reduce their carbon footprint, with the additional benefit of reducing the financial burden of purchasing or renting expensive equipment for infrequent projects – allowing its users to save money that can be allocated for other essential needs.

The California Library Services and Technology Act grant is awarded in two installment payments.

The first payment of $27,000 (90% of the Sustainable California Award) is being awarded at this time. The second payment of $3,000, representing the remaining 10% of the total award for FY 2024, will be claimed at a later date upon submission of all project reporting requirements. The total award amount for FY 2024 will be $30,000.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

Approval of the Resolution would authorize the establishment of a Library Grants Fund appropriation of $30,000 and corresponding revenue budget. The grant award authorizes $7,500 to offset the costs for existing staff to manage the program, and $22,500 for materials and supplies.

This includes the Interim and Final reports, and any other written communications between the parties. Subrecipient agrees to ensure that all content contained in its written reports are appropriate for publication. Said material, along with all other reports, documentation and data collected during the term of the Agreement, will be subject to disclosure unless it qualifies for exemption under the PRA in whole or in part. Subrecipient agrees to alert the State Library as to a basis for exemption, if any exists.

44. Publicity Obligations: Subrecipient will notify the State Library of any promotional materials or publications resulting from the award no later than five (5) days in advance of distribution, whether they are print, film, electronic, or in any other format or medium. Copies of all promotional materials will be provided to the State Library. Subrecipient will acknowledge the LSTA support as noted above.

Subrecipient agrees that the State Library may include information about this grant and its outcomes in its own annual reports, with specific reference to Subrecipient, and may distribute such information to third parties.

the use of used, reusable, or recyclable products; discretion in the amount of materials used; alternatives to disposal of materials consumed; and the practice of other waste reduction measures where feasible and appropriate.

47. Reimbursement Limitations: Under no circumstances shall the Subrecipient seek reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for a cost or activity that has been or will be paid for through another funding source. The Subrecipient shall not seek reimbursement for any costs used to meet cost sharing or matching requirements of any other California State Library funded program.

48. Reports and Claims: It is the responsibility of the recipient of these instructions to see that the proper individual to supply the required reports and claims receives the instructions and makes the required reports and claims to the California State Library.

a. The subrecipient shall be responsible for submitting to the State Library Narrative Reports detailing progress and activities. The reports are due on the dates specified in the reporting schedule detailed in the Procedures and Requirements section.
b. The subrecipient shall be responsible for submitting to the State Library Financial Reports reflecting project expenditure activity. The reports are due on the dates specified in the reporting schedule detailed in the Procedures and Requirements section.
c. To obtain payment hereunder the subrecipient shall submit authorized claims provided by the State Library for that purpose, on each of the following mentioned dates for payment, and the California State Library agrees to reimburse the Library as soon thereafter as State fiscal procedures will permit.
d. In-full payments are typically made for awards totaling $20,000 or less. e. Funding for awards totaling more than $20,000 are issued in three payments following a 45%/45%/10% payment schedule, unless an exception has been made.
f. The final 10% of the grant award (if applicable) is payable only if the subrecipient fulfills all project reporting requirements and returns all unspent funds by the time specified in the Grant Guide. Failure to provide timely reports is a serious breach of an award recipient’s administrative duty under the award, which may result in federal audit exceptions against the State and the loss of LSTA funds.
g. Payment will be provided to cover the expenditures incurred by the subrecipient for the project in the following manner:

o $13,500 upon execution of the agreement and submission of claim by fiscal agent
o If applicable, second payment will be made upon approval of first quarter financial report and receipt of claim form in the amount of $13,500
o If applicable, final payment will be made upon approval of all final reports and receipt of claim form in the amount of
$3,000

49. Self-Dealing and Arm’s Length Transactions: All expenditures for which reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement is sought shall be the result of arm’s- length transactions and not the result of, or motivated by, self-dealing on the part of the Subrecipient or any employee or agent of the Subrecipient. For purposes of this provision, “arm’s-length transactions” are those in which both parties are on equal footing and fair market forces are at play, such as when multiple vendors are invited to compete for an entity’s business and the entity chooses the lowest of the resulting bids. “Self-dealing” is involved where an individual or entity is obligated to act as a trustee or fiduciary, as when handling public funds, and chooses to act in a manner that will benefit the individual or entity, directly or indirectly, to the detriment of, and in conflict with, the public purpose for which all award monies are to be expended.

50. Severability: If any part of this Agreement is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, such provisions will be voided and severed from this Agreement, but the remainder of the provisions in the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

51. Site Visits: The Subrecipient shall allow the California State Library to access and conduct site visits, with reasonable notice, at which grant funds are expended and related work being performed at any time during the performance of the work and for up to ninety (90) days after completion of the work, or until all issues related to the grant project have been resolved. A site visit may include, but not be limited to, monitoring the use of grant funds, provide technical assistance when needed, and to visit the State funded project.

52. S
ubrecipient: The Subrecipient is the government or other legal entity to which a subaward is awarded and which is accountable to the grantee for the use of the funds provided.
a. The subrecipient will make reports to the State Librarian in such form and containing such information as may be required to enable the California State Library to perform its duties. The subrecipient will keep such records and afford such access as the California State Librarian or Library may find necessary to assure the correctness and verification of such reports.

b. The control of funds and title to property derived there from shall be in a subrecipient agency for the uses and purposes provided; a subrecipient agency will administer such property and funds and shall apply funds only for the purposes for which they were granted.

53. Subrecipient Accountability: The Subrecipient is ultimately responsible and accountable for the manner in which the grant funds are utilized and accounted for and the way the grant is administered, even if the Subrecipient has contracted with another organization, public or private, to administer or operate its grant program. In the event an audit should determine that grant funds are owed to the California State Library, the Subrecipient is responsible for repayment of the funds to the California State Library.

54. Subrecipient Funds: It is mutually agreed that the Subrecipient is responsible for furnishing funds beyond the grant award that may be necessary to complete the project.

55. Termination: The Agreement shall be subject to termination by the State Librarian or designee upon notice to the Subrecipient at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination. In the event this agreement is terminated, the Subrecipient shall deliver to the State Librarian copies of all reports, accounting, data, and materials prepared up to the date of termination.

The State Librarian shall determine, and pay the Subrecipient for necessary and appropriate expenditures and obligations up to the date of termination which have not been covered by prior installments previously paid to the Subrecipient.

Upon such termination, the unused portion of the grant award must be returned to the California State Library within 45 days. If funding has been advanced to the Subrecipient, any unobligated balances, as determined by the State Librarian, shall be returned to the State Library within 45 days of the notice of termination.

The State Librarian is empowered to review, audit, and inspect the project for compliance with this agreement.

56. Timeline: Time is of the essence to this Agreement. It is mutually agreed between the parties that the grant application and the timeline included therein are part of the Agreement.

57. Unused Funds: At the end-of-term Subrecipient agrees to return any unexpended or unaccounted for funds to the State Library, or to submit a written request for an extension of the award period. Funds will be considered unexpended or unaccounted if they were: (1) not used for their intended purpose, or (2) used inconsistently with the terms of this Agreement.

Funds will also be considered unaccounted for, and must be returned, if the proposal outcomes or deliverables are materially incomplete by the end-of-term or earlier termination, as determined by the State Library in its sole discretion.

58. Waiver of Rights: California State Library shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by California State Library. No delay or omission on the part of California State Library in exercising any rights shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by California State Library of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of California State Library’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by California State Library, nor any course of dealing between California State Library and Subrecipient, shall constitute a waiver of any of California State Library’s rights or of any of Subrecipient’s obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of California State Library is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by California State Library in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of California State Library.

59. Work Products: Subrecipient shall provide California State Library with copies of all final products identified in the Work Plan and Application. Subrecipient shall also provide the State Library with copies of all public education and advertising material produced pursuant to this Agreement.

60. Workers’ Compensation: The State of California will not provide Workers’ Compensation insurance for Subrecipient or Subrecipient’s employees or contract personnel. If Subrecipient hires employees to perform services required by this Agreement, Subrecipient shall provide Workers’ Compensation insurance for them. The Subrecipient is aware of Labor Code Section 3700, which requires every employer to be insured against liability for Workers’ Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the Labor Code, and the Subrecipient agrees to comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT C: LSTA AWARD REQUIREMENTS

A. CIPA Compliance
The Institute of Museum and Library Services establishes guidelines to ensure that the California State Library’s implementation of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) complies with the 2003 decision of the US Supreme Court. The California State Library is required by 20 U.S.C. Section 9134(b)(7) to provide assurance that we will comply with 20 U.S.C. Section 9134(f), which sets out standards relating to Internet Safety for public libraries and public elementary school and secondary school libraries.

Under CIPA, California State Library must assure the Federal Government that no funds will be made available for public libraries and public elementary and secondary school libraries to purchase computers to access the Internet or pay for the direct costs of accessing the Internet unless the libraries have certified that they have Internet safety policies and technology protection measures, e.g., software filtering technology, in place. California State Library must collect certifications from libraries subject to CIPA that apply to the States for Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funding. Public libraries and public elementary and secondary school libraries must be in compliance with CIPA to obtain IMLS State Program funding which will be used to purchase computers used to access the Internet or to pay for direct costs associated with accessing the Internet.

The director or the authorized representative of the Subrecipient organization receiving LSTA funding must certify that the library is one of the following:

An individual applicant that is CIPA compliant.

The applicant library, as a public library, a public elementary school library or a public secondary school library, has complied with the requirements of Section 9134(f)(1) of the Library Services and Technology Act.

Representing a group of applicants. Those applicants that are subject to CIPA requirements have certified they are CIPA compliant.

All public libraries, public elementary school libraries, and public secondary school libraries, participating in the application have complied with the requirements of Section 9134(f)(1) of the Library Services and Technology Act. The library submitting this DocuSign Envelope ID: 2870F005-C832-4850-97BB-13B273D2AC79

Page 29 of 40 ends

application has collected Internet Safety Certifications from all other applicants who are subject to CIPA requirements. The library will keep these certifications on file with other application materials, and if awarded funds, with other project records.

Not Subject to CIPA Requirements.

CIPA requirements do not apply because no LSTA funds made available under this grant program will be used to purchase computers that can access the Internet or to pay for direct costs associated with accessing the Internet.

For more information on CIPA, please visit the
Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA)
webpage o n the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) website .

B. Contracting Guidance
OMB’s Code of Federal Regulations outlines important regulations surrounding contracts that, as a recipient of LSTA funds, the State Library and its subrecipients must follow.

C. Language Access Services
To remain compliant with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, all LSTA funding recipients must take reasonable steps to make LSTA-funded awards accessible to people with limited English proficiency.

These procedures apply to all of California State Library’s federally funded programs and activities and extends to all programs and activities conducted by the State Library’s federally funded sub-recipients.

AGENDA REPORT

Department: Engineering
Prepared by: Ricardo Rodriguez, Assistant Engineer-Civil Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 19, 2023
Approved by: Ben Martinez, Interim City Manager

SUBJECT:

Installation of a Blue Curb Disabled Persons Parking Space with Signage in front of the Residence at 135 E 6th Street.

RECOMMENDATION:

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

The Traffic Safety Committee unanimously approved the staff’s recommendation for the installation of a blue curb disabled persons parking space with signage in front of the residence at 135 E 6th Street.

EXPLANATION:

Mrs. Vanessa Hurtado, resident of 135 E 6th Street, has requested a blue curb disabled persons parking space in front of her residence. The resident possesses a valid disabled persons placard from the California Department of Motor Vehicles. Mrs. Hurtado stated that since it is difficult for her to find parking in front of her residence she has to park her vehicle 2-3 blocks away. Mrs.

Hurtado stated that a disabled persons parking space in front of her residence would provide easier access to her house.

Staff visited the site and observed that Mrs. Hurtado’s residence does not have a garage or a driveway. Since there is no garage or driveway, the resident does not have accessible parking available on the property.

The City of National City has amended chapter 11.32.225 of the National City Municipal Code which is used to evaluate requests for disabled persons parking spaces. The City’s Disabled persons parking zone requirements for Special Hardship Cases are as follows:

1. Applicant (or gua rdian) must be in possession of valid license plates or placard for “disabled persons” or “disabled veterans”. This condition is met.

2. The proposed disabled parking space must be in front (or side if on a corner lot) of the applicant’s (or guardian’s) place of residence. This condition is met.

3. The residence must not have useable off -street parking available or an off -street space available that may be converted into disabled parking. This condition is met.

Page 132 of 223 ends

This item was presented to the Traffic Safety Committee on August 16, 2023. Staff sent notices to area residents inviting them to the Traffic Safety Committee Meeting and/or contact staff with any questions. Mrs. Hurtado’s mother was in attendance to speak in support of the blue curb disabled persons parking space.

Staff presented the results of the site evaluation to the Traffic Safety Committee and after discussion, the Traffic Safety Committee voted to approve staff’s recommendation to install a blue curb disabled persons parking space with sign, since all three conditions of the Special Hardship Cases section of National City Municipal Code chapter 11.32.225, disabled persons parking zone, are met.

The applicant for this request was informed that handicap parking spaces do not constitute “personal reserved parking” and that any person with valid “disabled persons” license plates or placards may park in handicap spaces.

In addition, staff is developing a process to review the citywide disabled parking inventory on an annual basis to ensure that disabled parking spaces that are no longer necessary are removed.

If approved by City Council, all work will be performed by City Public Works

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

The cost to install the disabled persons parking space is approximately $300. It is the City’s policy to assume the cost of providing disabled persons parking on public streets and in public off-street parking facilities. Funding is available within the Department of Enginee ring and Public Works budget to provide this service.

3. Disabled persons parking will not be installed at locations with a full-time parking prohibition.

Unjustified installation of such parking stalls unnecessarily increases the City's maintenance and operations costs, reduce available on street parking for the general public, and detract from the overall effectiveness of the disabled persons parking program.

C. Special Hardship Cases.

1. It is not the intention of the City to provide personal reserved parking on the public right-of-way, especially in residential areas. However, exceptions may be made, in special hardship cases, provided all of the following conditions exists:

EXPLANATION:

Background

A City Council Policy #105 request was presented by City Councilmember Rodriguez on the Agenda for the Regular City Council Meeting on February 7, 2023. The request was to review and discuss City Council Policy #901 Management of Real Property (Sale, Lease, Rental, Surplus) at the next re gularly scheduled City C ouncil meeting with the intent to expand homeownership opportunities within City -owned Properties *. On February 22, 2023, staff provided a presentation on historic and present homeownership programs and projects in National City, market data and trends affecting the feasibility of homeownership development, and potential policies that can prioritize and promote the development of homeownership projects on City-owned property. Staff received direction from City Council to bring back a policy that would prioritize homeownership development in National City on City-owned property.

On August 15, 2023, staff proposed an amendment to City Council Policy #901 to the City Council.

The amendment proposed that the City conduct a financial feasibility analysis to evaluate building residential units for homeownership, identify supportable land values, determine the need for gap financing, and assess the use of various development models, such as Community Land Trusts, to create sustainable and affordable homeownership on any City -owned property zoned for residential use. The City Council directed additional revisions and for the item to be brought back to the September 19, 2023, City Council meeting.

*Multiple City parcels make up a City property.
