Proclamation
PROCLAMATION NO. 1930

BLACK HISTORY MONTH
WHEREAS, in February 1969, the idea for Black History Month was promoted by Black students and educators at Kent State University, followed by the first celebration of Black History Month on campus and local surroundings one year later; and WHEREAS, in 1976 President Gerald Ford praised Black History Month, urging all citizens to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history”; and WHEREAS, the 2025 Black History Month theme, “African Americans and Labor,” is a powerful reflection on the pivotal role that the hard work of African Americans has played in shaping our country’s history; and WHEREAS, this theme underscores the diverse and significant ways in which labor – whether voluntary or involuntary, skilled or unskilled – has been at the core of the Black American experience;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Michael K. Hannon, Mayor of the City of Newark, on behalf of the Newark City Council, do hereby proclaim February 2025, as

BLACK HISTORY MONTH
in Newark and urge residents to celebrate and honor these profound contributions, shedding light on how work, both historically and present-day, continues to shape the identity, culture, and economic status of our communities.

IN WITNESS THEREOF, I have hereunto set forth my hand and caused the Official Seal of the City of Newark, State of California, to be affixed this Thirteenth Day of February, Two Thousand Twenty-five.

TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Krysten Lee, Finance Director
SUBJECT Adopt Resolution Approving Agreement with HdL Coren & Cone for Property Tax Management Services
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
HdL Coren & Cone (HdLCC) has provided property tax management, audit and information services to the City of Newark since fiscal year 2020. The City’s current contract with HdLCC will expire in February 2025.

HdLCC’s team has worked with a number of key county staff and is thoroughly familiar with county property tax procedures in California. Their expertise and large databases ensure prompt and knowledgeable responses to inquiries and provide relevant and timely information on issues impacting the City’s property tax.

Given the importance of property tax as the City’s most stable revenue source, staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution approving a new agreement with HdLCC for property tax management, audit, and information services in the amount not-to-exceed $110,000.

Item H. 1.

DATE 02/13/2025
TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM David Benoun, City Manager
SUBJECT Consideration of a resolution reaffirming Newark as a Welcoming City
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
In February 2017, as a result of community concerns, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring the City of Newark as a Welcoming City (the “Welcoming City Resolution”). The purpose of the Welcoming City Resolution was to show that Newark is committed to enhancing its cultural fabric by supporting and celebrating its multi-ethnic diversity, which includes newcomers and immigrants. The Welcoming City Resolution also affirmed the Newark Police Department’s policy to focus on investigating high-priority crimes and not enforcing federal immigration laws. A copy of the Welcoming City Resolution is attached to this report.

The community concerns that led to the City Council adopting the Welcoming City Resolution have arisen again today and it is recommended that the City Council consider adopting a resolution reaffirming Newark as a Welcoming City.

BACKGROUND
The City of Newark has a history of inclusiveness. In 2007, the City joined the National League of Cities Inclusive Communities Partnership Program. As part of the program, the City put signs and banners throughout the community with the message: “We are building an Inclusive Community.”
In furtherance of this commitment, the City Council adopted the Welcoming City Resolution in 2017. The Welcoming City Resolution declared that the City of Newark is committed to building an inclusive community that welcomes immigrants and newcomers to participate in civic, cultural, and economic life. The Welcoming City Resolution also affirmed the Newark Police Department’s Policy to not actively participate in enforcement of federal immigration laws which would result in undermining community trust and deterring law-abiding individuals from reporting crimes or serving as witnesses to crimes.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Following the City Council adopting the Welcoming City Resolution, then Governor Brown signed into law SB 54, also known as the “Values Act”. Under the Values Act, the City of Newark, as well as all law enforcement agencies in the State, are prohibited from engaging in nearly all immigration related activities. This includes utilizing law enforcement resources (including investigating, interrogating, detaining or arresting persons) for immigration enforcement purposes, inquiring into an individual’s immigration status or detaining an individual based on a hold request from immigration authorities, providing immigration authorities with information regarding an individual’s release date unless such information is publicly available, and making or participating in arrests based on civil immigration warrants or transferring an individual to immigration authorities unless authorized by judicial warrant upon a finding of probable cause by a judge or if the individual has been convicted of certain crimes.

Newark Police Department (“NPD”) Policy 428, attached to this report, provides guidelines to Newark Police Department staff members relating to immigration. NPD Policy 428 aligns with the Values Act and specifically provides that: “Officers shall not inquire into an individual’s immigration status for immigration enforcement purposes.” At the time that the City Council adopted the Welcoming City Resolution, United States Census figures indicated that 37.2% of Newark’s population was foreign born and

52.6% of Newark residents speak a language other than English at home. The most recent United States Census figures reveal that Newark’s foreign-born population has increased to 43% and the percentage of Newark residents speaking a language other than English at home has increased to 57.2%. In other words, since adopting the Welcoming City Resolution in 2017, the City has, in many respects, become even more diverse. Adopting a resolution reaffirming Newark as a Welcoming City would further the City’s commitment to enhancing its cultural fabric by supporting and celebrating its multi-ethnic diversity, which is critical to the City’s overall prosperity.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct impact associated with adopting the proposed resolution.

428.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines to members of the Newark Police Department relating to immigration and interacting with federal immigration officials. 428.1.1 DEFINITIONS
The following definitions apply to this policy (Government Code § 7284.4):

Criminal immigration violation - Any federal criminal immigration violation that penalizes a person’s presence in, entry, or reentry to, or employment in, the United States. This does not include any offense where a judicial warrant already has been issued.

Immigration enforcement - Any and all efforts to investigate, enforce, or assist in the investigation or enforcement of any federal civil immigration law, including any and all efforts to investigate, enforce, or assist in the investigation or enforcement of any federal criminal immigration law that penalizes a person's presence in, entry or reentry to, or employment in the United States.

Judicial warrant - An arrest warrant for a violation of federal criminal immigration law and issued by a federal judge or a federal magistrate judge.
428.2 POLICY
It is the policy of the Newark Police Department that all members make personal and professional commitments to equal enforcement of the law and equal service to the public. Confidence in this commitment will increase the effectiveness of this department in protecting and serving the entire community and recognizing the dignity of all persons, regardless of their national origin or immigration status.
428.3 VICTIMS AND WITNESSES
To encourage crime reporting and cooperation in the investigation of criminal activity, all individuals, regardless of their immigration status, must feel secure that contacting or being addressed by members of law enforcement will not automatically lead to immigration inquiry and/or deportation. While it may be necessary to determine the identity of a victim or witness, members shall treat all individuals equally and not in any way that would violate the United States or California constitutions.
428.4 IMMIGRATION INQUIRIES PROHIBITED
Officers shall not inquire into an individual’s immigration status for immigration enforcement purposes (Government Code § 7284.6).
428.4.1 CALIFORNIA LAW ENFORCEMENT TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM (CLETS) Members shall not use information transmitted through CLETS for immigration enforcement purposes except for criminal history information and only when consistent with the California Values Act (Government Code § 15160).

Published with permission by Newark Police Department ***DRAFT*** Immigration Violations - 2 Members shall not use the system to investigate immigration violations of 8 USC § 1325 (improper entry) if that violation is the only criminal history in an individual’s record (Government Code § 15160).
428.4.2 CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES
Members shall not obtain, access, use, or otherwise disclose noncriminal history information maintained by the DMV for immigration enforcement (Vehicle Code § 1808.48). 428.5 DETENTIONS AND ARRESTS
An officer shall not detain any individual, for any length of time, for a civil violation of federal immigration laws or a related civil warrant (Government Code § 7284.6).

An officer who has a reasonable suspicion that an individual already lawfully contacted or detained has committed a criminal violation of 8 USC § 1326(a) (unlawful reentry) that may be subject to an enhancement due to a previous conviction of an aggravated felony under 8 USC § 1326(b) (2), may detain the person for a reasonable period of time to contact federal immigration officials to verify whether the United States Attorney General has granted the individual permission for reentry and whether the violation is subject to enhancement (Government Code § 7284.6). No individual who is otherwise ready to be released should continue to be detained only because questions about the individual’s status are unresolved.

If the officer has facts that establish probable cause to believe that a person already lawfully detained has violated 8 USC § 1326(a) and the penalty may be subject to enhancement due to prior conviction for specified aggravated felonies, he/she may arrest the individual for that offense (Government Code § 7284.6).

An officer shall not detain any individual, for any length of time, for any other criminal immigration violation of federal immigration laws (Government Code § 7284.6).

An officer should notify a supervisor as soon as practicable whenever an individual is arrested for violation of 8 USC § 1326(a).
428.5.1 SUPERVISOR RESPONSIBILITIES
