Descriptions for OPD
DATE: January 2, 2022

RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommends That The City Council Adopt A Resolution Amending Resolution No. 88717 C.M.S., Which Adopted The City Of Oakland Biennial Budget For Fiscal Years 2021-23, To Modify The Adopted Capital Improvement Plan To Combine Two Projects For The Oakland Police Department And Provide An Updated Project Description As Set Forth In Exhibit 1 To This Resolution.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Council approved its FY 2021-23 budget in June 2021 through Resolution No. 88717 C.M.S. that included the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The adopted CIP identifies capital projects citywide that will receive funding for implementation. This report proposes to amend the adopted CIP to combine two capital improvement projects for the Oakland Police Department (OPD). The proposed change will combine two feasibility studies for OPD facilities into one project to better support the delivery of OPD services to the community and those potentially of other City departments, such as the Oakland Fire Department (OFD).
BACKGROUND / LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
At the October 11, 2021 Finance and Management Committee, the Administration was directed to return to the committee with an action item to amend the adopted Capital Improvement Program funding by combining two feasibility study projects for OPD facilities into one feasibility study project to allow for greater flexibility in how the CIP funds may be used to better support the delivery of OPD services to the community. This report is in response to Council’s direction.

ANALYSIS AND POLICY ALTERNATIVES
The project descriptions of the two OPD feasibility projects are proposed to be consolidated into one public safety feasibility project, see Table 1.
Table 1 – Project Descriptions in Adopted FY21-23 CIP
Description Funding Amount
Feasibility Analysis – PAB, Academy, Training, Lab, Outreach Facility
$500,000
Feasibility Analysis for OPD at OFD Station #29 $500,000
Table 2 – Amended Project Description in Adopted FY21-23 CIP Description Funding Amount
Feasibility Analysis for PAB and Multi-Service Center
(Academy, Training, Lab, Outreach Facility, etc.)
$1,000,000
The proposed amendments to the OPD Feasibility project descriptions are administerial. The changes shown in Table 2 above are contained in the 2022C General Obligation Bond Sale agenda and resolution being presented for adoption by City Council on February 1, 2022.
At the time the projects were proposed and adopted in the CIP, locating an OPD function at OFD Station #29 was a viable consideration worth pursuing through a feasibility study, but this option is not necessarily the only viable location. The proposed amendments to the CIP descriptions will remove the restriction that the funds must be utilized for a feasibility study at OFD Station #29. The amendments will ensure the City’s ability to consider the feasibility of OPD and other departments’ service needs at various locations throughout the City without unnecessary restrictions to a particular location.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact resulting from this action. The two OPD feasibility projects are currently $500,000 each in the FY21-23 CIP. The resolution authorizes combining the two projects into one feasibility study project with the same breadth of scope.

PUBLIC OUTREACH / INTEREST
Public outreach for the two projects was conducted as part of the CIP prioritization process. This action will not substantively change the scope of the projects as approved in the adopted FY21- 23 CIP.
COORDINATION
This report was prepared and reviewed in coordination with the City Attorney’s Office, Budget Bureau and Office of the City Administrator.
SUSTAINABLE OPPORTUNITIES
Economic: The feasibility study project has a limited fiscal impact associated with the hiring of consultants to prepare the study or studies. Businesses associated with the implementation of the projects resulting from the feasibility study or studies will receive economic opportunities through contracting for services, construction, material, and supplies.
Environmental: As part of the City’s policies and mandates, any capital improvement projects resulting from the study or studies must meet various environmental and sustainable programs such as the City of Oakland Green Infrastructure Guide, Bay Friendly Landscaping, etc.
Race & Equity: Any resulting projects will be developed to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements through design and construction to improve the accessibility of facilities for all ages and abilities. Consultants hired for the study or studies will be selected through a vendor selection process that incorporates the City’s Local and Small Local Business Enterprise requirements and criteria centered on race and equity tailored for the specific solicitation.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
The feasibility study or studies are exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15268 (Ministerial Projects), 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan or Zoning), 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction), 15303 (Small Structures), 15304(h) (Minor Alterations to Land), and/or 15061(b)(3) (No Significant Effect on the Environment). Each of the above exemptions provides a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) determination will be completed during project implementation when appropriate.
