INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: September 28, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
Subject: City Council Meeting of September 28, 2023
Below you will find questions received from the Mayor or Councilmembers and answers provided by City staff regarding tonight’s City Council meeting:

ITEM 13a: APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL, SUCCESSOR AGENCY, AND HOUSING AUTHORITY

MINUTES
City staff notes a correction will be made to the September 14, 2023, Study Session Minutes to reflect the absence of Councilmember Nestande.

ITEM 13c: APPROVAL OF THE 2023 PALM DESERT GOLF CART PARADE Q1: Is the $25K for Golf Cart parade our contribution to the Chamber via police services or is this in addition to it?
A1: This $25,000 is in addition to the $60,000 sponsorship as the City Council previously approved in-kind police services related to this event. The $25,000 will not be paid to the Chamber of Commerce. It is a budget transfer from one City account to another.

Q2: Will Burrtec have compost bins on site? Will they be available for the vendors? A2: For the Golf Cart Parade, Burrtec will provide cardboard trash and recycle bins as there won’t be many food vendors present. For the City’s 50th Anniversary Celebration (The Party in the Park), the City will ask Burrtec to provide compost containers for food vendors and attendees.

Additionally, beginning in 2024, in accordance with SB 1383, all events taking place in the city with over 2,000 attendees that serve food will be required to work with FIND Food Bank to set up an edible food recovery system. Staff will also work with Burrtec on a plan for collecting non-edible food waste at large scale City-produced events.

09/28/2023 Question & Answer Memo

ITEM 13i: APPROVE THE ADDITION OF IMPROVEMENTS FOR PUBLIC PARKING AND OPEN SPACE TO APN 620-400-625 TO THE CITY’S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Q1: What is the reason for the $76K surplus? Have all of the needs been met? Is there any deferred maintenance or costs that may have been overlooked? Can this be used for training, such as professional development seminars to strengthen support to the volunteers and the community?
A1: This fund is restricted to items that supplement direct law enforcement service. Last fiscal year, there was $161,284 carried forward from previous years of unspent revenue. This is on top of the new annual allocation. Our goal has been to expend the previous years’ amounts to reconcile this fund and supply the Sheriff’s department with equipment, tools, and staffing resources. We were able to take care of immediate needs but did not exhaust all the previous year’s grant amounts. Going forward with this plan, we will expend the $76,000 surplus and new allocation on equipment like tactical vests, crime suppression and speed enforcement programs.

ITEM 14a: APPROVE AN AGREEMENT WITH KINGDOM CAUSES DBA CITY NET FOR CITY

HOMELESS OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT SERVICES
Q1: In addition to the email, phone, and text communication listed, will City Net have access to the Homelessness Support requests made on the PD App? If so, how soon after the report is made?
A1: Yes, City staff will continue to manage all incoming requests for homeless support coming from our City App, email, and phone; and coordinate responses with City Net. Once they have learned the resource system here in Palm Desert, we will work to integrate them into our service request system.

Q2: What is the success rate of Landlord Engagement? How is success measured? A2: Program staff will assist all clients on a pathway to housing. That can include a variety of options through coordinated entry, income, and landlord engagement to find viable housing options. Landlord engagement is difficult as rental occupancy rates are very high, leaving limited availability throughout the state. The team makes every effort to identify and engage landlords. Success rates will vary depending on region. Success is measured by identifying viable landlords open to renting to our unhoused participants, and successfully connecting them to move-in.

CITY OF PALM DESERT

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 28, 2023
PREPARED BY: Shelby Goodwin, Special Events Coordinator REQUEST: APPROVAL OF THE 2023 PALM DESERT GOLF CART PARADE RECOMMENDATION:

1. Permit the sale, possession, and consumption of alcoholic beverages on Public Property pursuant to Palm Desert Municipal Code 9.58.040.

2. Waive Palm Desert Municipal Code Section 11.01.140 – Amplified Sound, during the event.

3. Approve a budget transfer of $25,000 from the Police Services Account No. 1104210- 4304000 to Account No. 1104210-4304200 (Police Contingency).

4. Authorize the City Manager to execute any documents that may be necessary to facilitate the event.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The 59th annual Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade presented by the Palm Desert Area Chamber of Commerce (the Chamber) is scheduled to take place on Sunday, October 29, 2023, on El Paseo.

The theme for this year’s event is Golf Cart Time Machine – Take me to ’73. This year’s event will include a Kids Zone, food vendors, two beer gardens, car show, business expo, senior seating area, VIP seating area, Veteran’s seating area, live music, themed golf cart floats, and much more.

The City has been a title sponsor of the parade and a strong supporter of this event for several years. As part of the FY 2023/2024 budget, the City Council approved a $60,000 monetary sponsorship for this year’s event in honor of Palm Desert’s 50th Anniversary. This was an increase from the FY 2022/2023 sponsorship amount which was $25,000 plus in-kind services for the City to handle traffic control and road closures for the event. With the increased sponsorship for the 2023 event, the Chamber is responsible for contracting with Tops N Barricades to provide traffic control and road closures for the event and is expected to elevate and expand the event to celebrate the City’s 50th Anniversary.

With elevation in mind, recognizing the importance of digital platforms in today’s world, the Chamber has developed an interactive website dedicated to the parade. This website will serve as a hub of information, including participant registration, route details, and FAQs. Moreover, it will allow users to engage with the event by featuring photo galleries and updates. The Chamber has contracted with Palm Springs Life (PSL) for an extensive marketing campaign. In addition to PSL’s marketing, during the month of October, there will be a digital billboard on display, ads on 13 radio stations, and commercials on two television stations. The parade will feature an increased amount of live radio remotes along the parade route to better showcase the float entries, as well as businesses and sponsors that are involved with the event. The Coachella Valley Firebird’s mascot “Fuego” will also be featured in this year’s event. By elevating the

Approval of the 2023 Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade

parade through these enhanced efforts, the Chamber anticipates a larger turnout and a heightened sense of community enthusiasm.

Burrtec will continue to provide portable restrooms and trash and recycling services, at no cost, as part of the City’s franchise agreement, staff recommends that the City continue to provide inkind public safety services which will be offered by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office (RSO) and augmented by the Palm Desert Citizens on Patrol. The RSO services require a budget transfer of $25,000 to cover these in-kind services.

Legal Review:

This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.

Strategic Plan:

Approval of the 2023 Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade would help address the following priorities as specified in the 2013-2033 Strategic Plan, Envision Palm Desert – Forward Together:
 Economic Development Priority 3: Create and attract entertainment and events to enhance and expand the Palm Desert economy and lifestyle.  Tourism and Marketing Priority 2: Grow existing events and develop new events to enhance the desirability of Palm Desert as a year-round destination.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

As part of the FY 2023/2024 Budget, the City Council approved a Golf Cart Parade sponsorship in the amount of $60,000 and $15,000 for the City to construct up to five floats to enter into the parade. Funds are available in Account Numbers 1104800-4302601 and 1100416-4306101.

In an effort to separate costs for public safety services related to this City-sponsored event, a reallocation of $25,000 from the Police Services Account No. 1104210-4304000 to Account No. 1104210-4304200 (Police Contingency) is being requested. Moving forward, as part of the budget in future years, public safety services related to City-sponsored and produced events will be included as part of the annual budget request.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: September 28, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
Subject: City Council Meeting of September 28, 2023
Below you will find questions received from the Mayor or Councilmembers and answers provided by City staff regarding tonight’s City Council meeting:

ITEM 13a: APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL, SUCCESSOR AGENCY, AND HOUSING AUTHORITY

MINUTES
City staff notes a correction will be made to the September 14, 2023, Study Session Minutes to reflect the absence of Councilmember Nestande.

ITEM 13c: APPROVAL OF THE 2023 PALM DESERT GOLF CART PARADE Q1: Is the $25K for Golf Cart parade our contribution to the Chamber via police services or is this in addition to it?
A1: This $25,000 is in addition to the $60,000 sponsorship as the City Council previously approved in-kind police services related to this event. The $25,000 will not be paid to the Chamber of Commerce. It is a budget transfer from one City account to another.

Q2: Will Burrtec have compost bins on site? Will they be available for the vendors? A2: For the Golf Cart Parade, Burrtec will provide cardboard trash and recycle bins as there won’t be many food vendors present. For the City’s 50th Anniversary Celebration (The Party in the Park), the City will ask Burrtec to provide compost containers for food vendors and attendees.

Additionally, beginning in 2024, in accordance with SB 1383, all events taking place in the city with over 2,000 attendees that serve food will be required to work with FIND Food Bank to set up an edible food recovery system. Staff will also work with Burrtec on a plan for collecting non-edible food waste at large scale City-produced events.

09/28/2023 Question & Answer Memo

ITEM 13i: APPROVE THE ADDITION OF IMPROVEMENTS FOR PUBLIC PARKING AND OPEN SPACE TO APN 620-400-625 TO THE CITY’S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Q1: What is the reason for the $76K surplus? Have all of the needs been met? Is there any deferred maintenance or costs that may have been overlooked? Can this be used for training, such as professional development seminars to strengthen support to the volunteers and the community?
A1: This fund is restricted to items that supplement direct law enforcement service. Last fiscal year, there was $161,284 carried forward from previous years of unspent revenue. This is on top of the new annual allocation. Our goal has been to expend the previous years’ amounts to reconcile this fund and supply the Sheriff’s department with equipment, tools, and staffing resources. We were able to take care of immediate needs but did not exhaust all the previous year’s grant amounts. Going forward with this plan, we will expend the $76,000 surplus and new allocation on equipment like tactical vests, crime suppression and speed enforcement programs.

ITEM 14a: APPROVE AN AGREEMENT WITH KINGDOM CAUSES DBA CITY NET FOR CITY

HOMELESS OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT SERVICES
Q1: In addition to the email, phone, and text communication listed, will City Net have access to the Homelessness Support requests made on the PD App? If so, how soon after the report is made?
A1: Yes, City staff will continue to manage all incoming requests for homeless support coming from our City App, email, and phone; and coordinate responses with City Net. Once they have learned the resource system here in Palm Desert, we will work to integrate them into our service request system.

Q2: What is the success rate of Landlord Engagement? How is success measured? A2: Program staff will assist all clients on a pathway to housing. That can include a variety of options through coordinated entry, income, and landlord engagement to find viable housing options. Landlord engagement is difficult as rental occupancy rates are very high, leaving limited availability throughout the state. The team makes every effort to identify and engage landlords. Success rates will vary depending on region. Success is measured by identifying viable landlords open to renting to our unhoused participants, and successfully connecting them to move-in.

REQUEST: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ACCEPTANCE OF ELECTRONICALLY

FILED GOVERNMENT CLAIMS
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM

DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING ACCEPTANCE OF ELECTRONICALLY FILED GOVERNMENT CLAIMS.”
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

Government Code Section 915 prescribes the methods for presentation and consideration of claims against the City for damages to persons and property, which include delivery or mailing of a paper claim form to the City Clerk. Senate Bill 1473 amended Government Code 915 to provide for electronic filing of claims if expressly authorized by a resolution of the public entity.

Following the Hurricane Hilary weather event, City staff desired to simplify and streamline the claims process to allow for the electronic submittal of claims. The City’s website is now equipped with a Laserfiche Claim Form for online completion and submission of claims. Allowing electronic filing of claims will enhance customer service, improve ADA accessibility, and provide for the efficient processing of claims.

Legal Review:

This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with adopting this resolution.

REQUEST: RATIFY A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR H.N. & FRANCES C. BERGER FOUNDATION’S RECONNECTING COMMUNITIES PROGRAM

FUNDING REQUEST FOR THE THOUSAND PALMS FLOOD CONTROL

PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:

Ratify a letter of support for the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation’s Reconnecting Communities Program funding request.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The Office of the Secretary of Transportation (OST) released a Notice of Funding Opportunity for the Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods (RCN) Program. Funds for the Fiscal Year 2023 RCN Program will be awarded on a competitive basis for projects that advance communitycentered connection transportation projects, with a priority for projects that benefit disadvantaged communities, by improving access to daily needs such as jobs, education, health care, food, nature and recreation; fostering equitable development and restoration; and reconnecting communities by removing, retrofitting, or mitigating highways or other transportation facilities that create barriers to community connectivity, including to mobility, access, or economic development. The deadline to submit funding applications is September 28, 2023.

The Berger Foundation, County of Riverside, and Coachella Valley Water District are jointly applying for grant funding for the Thousand Palms Flood Control Project and have sought letters of support from local agencies, including the City of Palm Desert. In City staff’s opinion, upstream improvements in the Thousand Palms area would help relieve the mid-valley channel by reducing the flooding across the I-10 and entering the channel.

Due to the time sensitivity of this matter, the Legislative Review Committee (Mayor Kelly and Mayor Pro Tem Quintanilla) authorized issuance of the letter and the City Council is requested to ratify the attached letter.

Legal Review:

This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact related to issuance of this letter.

Re: Letter of Support for H. N. & Frances C. Berger Foundation's Reconnecting Communities Program (RCN) Funding
Dear Mr. Secretary:

On behalf of the City of Palm Desert, I am writing this letter to wholeheartedly express our strong support for the H. N. & Frances C. Berger Foundation's application to receive federal funds for the Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods (RCN) Program, Office of the Secretary of Transportation, U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The Berger Foundation has consistently demonstrated a remarkable commitment to addressing community needs and fostering connections crucial for our society's betterment.

The Reconnecting Communities Program, as proposed by the Berger Foundation, aligns perfectly with the pressing needs of our communities. In today's fast-paced world, our communities often face challenges related to disconnection, social isolation, and limited access to essential services. The RCN program's emphasis on fostering connections, promoting inclusivity, and providing resources to underserved populations will undoubtedly profoundly impact the lives of those who stand to benefit from it.

Berger Foundation's track record of successful initiatives speaks to its ability to effectively execute and manage projects that yield tangible results. Their commitment to accountability, transparency, and community engagement ensures that any funding received will be utilized judiciously and directed toward achieving the program's intended goals.

Moreover, the RCN program addresses immediate needs and contributes to our communities' long-term resilience and sustainability. The program will pave the way for stronger, more cohesive neighborhoods that can withstand future challenges by empowering individuals with the tools, knowledge, and opportunities they need to thrive.

This funding will allow for stormwater flood control measures that will greatly reduce the impact to the I-10 freeway, and associated frontage roads, rail lines and egresses to many residential communities.

The area to be improved by this project lies in an unincorporated territory of Riverside County. Currently on the location is a Catholic high school and the proposed site of a new charitable community hospital that is desperately needed to serve the community.

Federal funds invested in the Reconnecting Communities Program will undoubtedly yield multiple-fold returns in terms of improved community well-being, reduced social disparities, and increased civic engagement. The Berger Foundation's dedication to collaboration, evidence-based strategies, and innovative solutions makes them an ideal candidate for such support.

In conclusion, the City of Palm Desert wholeheartedly endorses the H. N. & Frances C. Berger Foundation's application for federal funds for the Reconnecting Communities Program. The transformative impact of this program on our communities cannot be overstated, and I believe that the foundation's vision, expertise, and dedication make them deserving recipients of the funding. I am confident that the Reconnecting Communities Program will set a shining example of how communitybased initiatives can drive positive change locally and nationally.

Thank you for considering our endorsement of this important initiative. I eagerly anticipate the positive outcomes that will certainly result from the partnership between the Berger Foundation and the federal agency.

Sincerely,
Kathleen Kelly, Mayor
City of Palm Desert

SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE

PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 28, 2023
PREPARED BY: Deborah Glickman, Management Analyst
REQUEST: SUCCESSOR AGENCY - APPROVE A PURCHASE AND SALE

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM

DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND THE CITY OF PALM
DESERT FOR ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBER 620-400-025
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Approve a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) between the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency (SARDA) and the City of Palm Desert for Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 620-400-025.

2. Authorize the Executive Director and the SARDA Attorney to make non-monetary changes to the PSA.

3. Authorize the Executive Director to execute the PSA and all related documents for the sale.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

APN 620-400-625 (14.46 acres), also referred to as Parcel A, is located adjacent to 34.25 acres of undeveloped land on Desert Willow Drive north of Country Club Drive. To preserve open space for its residents and visitors, the City seeks to acquire the parcel from SARDA for use as public parking and recreational space. To facilitate the construction of the improvements, the City needs to acquire the parcel from the SARDA, and to do so the City needs to enter into a PSA with SARDA for the Fair Market Value (FMV) of $4,600,000 for Parcel A based, on the September 2023 appraisal.

The sale of the parcel from SARDA to the City is contingent on approvals from the Riverside County Oversight Board (OB) and the State of California Department of Finance (DOF).

Additionally, the City must enter into compensation agreements with Riverside County designated taxing entities. Acquiring the parcel at fair market value (FMV), rather than a reduced price, is expected to streamline the necessary approvals for the acquisition to ensure a smoother sales process.

Parcel A is on the December 2022, approved Central Inventory of surplus City and SARDA properties. Therefore, in order to dispose of the properties on the Central Inventory, SARDA is required to follow the State’s April 2021 Surplus Land Act (SLA) Guidelines. These Guidelines require that a local agency sell property through a Notice of Availability and subsequent negotiation processes that favor affordable housing. Section 103 of the Guidelines allows for exceptions to this standard SLA process. Specifically, Section 103(3)(d) allows for a property to be declared “Exempt Surplus” on the occasion that “Local agency surplus land is transferred to another local, state, or federal agency for the transferee agency’s use.” The City intends to use

Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency APN 620-400-025 PSA

the property for public parking and recreational space. In order to sell the property, SARDA must approve a Resolution declaring it “Exempt Surplus” for the purposes of the SLA. Such a Resolution is on the same SARDA Board meeting agenda as this request (September 28, 2023).

Contingent upon the SARDA Board’s approval of the Resolution, the City will also need approval of a PSA between SARDA and the City. Once the SARDA Board approves the PSA, it will be brought forward for approval by the OB and then forwarded to the State of California Department of Finance (DOF), which will have forty (40) days to respond to the PSA. When the PSA is approved by all entities, SARDA will be allowed to sell the property.

Additionally, the parcel is listed on the June 2, 2014, DOF approved Long Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP) with a designation of “No Potential”, indicating that at the time that the LRPMP was approved, there was no intended government use for Parcel A and that SARDA will sell it and disburse the proceeds of the sale to the Riverside County designated taxing entities as required.

Since the parcel is now being sold for a purpose other than it is designated as on the LRPMP, in addition to the PSA, the City will be required to enter into Compensation Agreements with the aforementioned designated taxing entities. The Palm Desert City Council will be reviewing the Compensation Agreements at the same meeting as the PSA (September 28, 2023), after which staff will begin engaging with the taxing entities. Once the agreements with the taxing entities are executed, and the PSA and Resolution are approved by the SARDA Board, staff will bring the item before the OB and DOF for approval to sell the property to the City.

Staff estimates that the sale of the parcel will be completed by Q1 2024, dependent on approvals from all entities.

Details and location of the property are as follows.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 28, 2023
PREPARED BY: Deborah Glickman, Management Analyst
REQUEST: SUCCESSOR AGENCY - ADOPT A RESOLUTION DECLARING ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NO. 620-400-025 “EXEMPT SURPLUS” FOR THE

PURPOSES OF THE SURPLUS LAND ACT
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE

SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, DECLARING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTIONS 54221(b) AND 54221 (f)(1)(D) THAT

CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY AND IDENTIFIED AS ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBER 620-400-025 IS EXEMPT SURPLUS; AND TAKING RELATED ACTIONS.”
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

At its meeting in December 2022, the City Council/SARDA Board approved a “Central Inventory” of surplus City and Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency (SARDA) owned properties. This inventory was developed to comply with the SLA, which requires that an inventory must be approved and submitted annually to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) pursuant to Government Code Section 54230(a)(2).

APN 620-400-625 (14.46 acres) is located adjacent to 34.25 acres of undeveloped land on Desert Willow Drive north of Country Club Drive. To preserve open space for current residents and visitors, the City seeks to acquire the parcel from SARDA for use as public parking and recreational space.

In order to dispose of the properties on the Central Inventory, the City/SARDA is required to follow the April 2021 SLA Guidelines. These Guidelines require that a local agency sell property through a Notice of Availability and subsequent negotiation processes that favor affordable housing. Section 103 of the Guidelines allows for exceptions to this standard SLA process.

Specifically, Section 103(3)(d) allows for a property to be declared “Exempt Surplus” on the occasion that “Local agency surplus land is transferred to another local, state, or federal agency for the transferee agency’s use,” which is intended to be used for use as a public parking lot and recreational space.

If approved by the SARDA, the Resolution will be taken before the Riverside County Oversight Board (OB) for approval. If approved by the OB, the Resolution will be provided to the California

Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency APN 620-400-025 Resolution

Department of Finance (DOF) for review and approval. The DOF has forty (40) days from receipt of the Resolution to provide feedback to the City. Once approved by the DOF, the property will be deemed “Exempt Surplus”, and the transfer process may proceed.

Legal Review:

This report and Resolution have been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office and Robert Messinger, Special Counsel to the City.

Project Description:

Staff is seeking approval from the SARDA Board to declare APN 620-400-025 exempt for the purpose of the SLA and to initiate the sale of the parcel.

Environment Review:

This property has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”). City staff has determined that the designation of this property as “Exempt Surplus” does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15312, the action for the sale of government property is categorically exempt from further CEQA action, as the property does not possess any significant value for wildlife habitat or other environmental purposes, as the property was previously rough graded during the grading of the Desert Willow Golf Resort, and the site remains relatively devoid of plant or wildlife.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 28, 2023
PREPARED BY: Mindy Esqueda, Emergency Services Coordinator REQUEST: ACCEPTANCE OF THE CITY’S CITIZENS OPTION FOR PUBLIC

SAFETY/SUPPLEMENTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES FUND
(COPS/SLESF) EXPENDITURE PLAN AND FUNDING FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2023/24
RECOMMENDATION:

Accept the City’s Citizens Option for Public Safety/Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (COPS/SLESF) expenditure plan and funding for Fiscal Year 2023/24.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

In 1996, the Legislature adopted Assembly Bill 3229 creating the Citizens Option for Public Safety (COPS) program allocating $100,000,000 to local governments annually for front-line law enforcement activities. These funds are deposited into a Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF). These grant funds supplement funding currently available for public safety including personnel, equipment, and programs. These funds cannot supplant any other existing funds and must be used exclusively for front-line law enforcement services.

The SLESF allocation will be for crime suppression programs and various equipment purchases.

State law requires the City to receive a written request submitted by the Chief of Police. As the City contracts with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department for law enforcement services, the City’s Chief of Police is the Palm Desert Station Captain. The Palm Desert Chief of Police recommends utilizing the FY 2023/24 COPS/SLESF funds as indicated below and estimated based on historic expenditures (these amounts may change).

ITEM ESTIMATED AMOUNT
2023/24 Crime Suppression Programs 50%
Equipment, Services and Supplies 50%
Crime Suppression Programs
The Palm Desert Police Department recommends using the allocated funds towards various crime suppression programs throughout the year. Additional crime suppression programs will allow staff to focus their efforts on an identified problem that directly affects quality of life concerns for Palm Desert Residents. These programs can range from theft suppression, addressing a problem with commercial or residential burglaries, retail theft, and any other identified criminal activities that directly affect quality of life in Palm Desert.

City of Palm Desert
Approval of SFESF Expenditure Plan for FY23/24

Equipment, Services, and Supplies
These funds are used for multiple items, including but not limited to monthly vehicle rentals for undercover officers assigned to the Burglary Suppression Unit; the purchase of load bearing vests (LBV) for new special team members or the replacement of old, worn vests; Police Department golf cart maintenance; shoulder patches, police vehicle decals, safety supplies, training, cellular telephone and services for special teams. Additionally, funds can purchase computers, technology, and other support apparatus.

Legal Review:

This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.

Strategic Plan:

This item is related to the Public Safety and Emergency Services section of the Palm Desert Strategic Plan, specifically under Priority 1: Enhance the delivery of public safety services. The priority’s strategy is to expand the existing superlative services provided by the Fire and Police Departments to address future growth and safety concerns. Palm Desert’s participation in the Crime Suppression Programs and the availability of SLESF revenues will assist in meeting this priority, by (1) having an increased law enforcement presence in mitigating any potential criminal activity and (2) providing funding for front line law enforcement activities throughout the fiscal year.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The allocation of COPS/SLESF monies will fund the program and items. The County Auditor allocates the annual grant award in the County’s Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Account (SLESA). The funds are then deposited in a SLESA established by the City.

Cities are provided with a minimum front line law enforcement allocation of $100,000 under the program and funds can carry over at the end of the fiscal year. The City of Palm Desert has an unencumbered carryover balance of approximately $76,000 (as of 9/18/2023) to use on frontline municipal police services in FY 2023/24. Currently, based on prior year allocations, staff has budgeted $109,000 in Account No. 2294210-4391400 for FY 2023/24 SLESF costs. Those funds along with any additional funding will be allocated to equipment and theft suppression programs.

There is no impact to the General Fund.

(iii) A local juvenile justice action strategy that provides for a continuum of responses to juvenile crime and delinquency and demonstrates a collaborative and integrated approach for implementing a system of swift, certain, and graduated responses for at-risk youth and juvenile offenders.
(iv) A description of the programs, strategies, or system enhancements that are proposed to be funded pursuant to this subparagraph.
(B) Programs, strategies, and system enhancements proposed to be funded under this chapter shall satisfy all of the following requirements:
(i) Be based on programs and approaches that have been demonstrated to be effective in reducing delinquency and addressing juvenile crime for any elements of response to juvenile crime and delinquency, including prevention, intervention, suppression, and incapacitation.

(ii) Collaborate and integrate services of all the resources set forth in clause (i) of subparagraph (A), to the extent appropriate.
(iii) Employ information sharing systems to ensure that county actions are fully coordinated, and designed to provide data for measuring the success of juvenile justice programs and strategies.
(C) To assess the effectiveness of programs, strategies, and system enhancements funded pursuant to this paragraph, each county or city and county shall submit by October 1 of each year a report to the county board of supervisors and to the Board of State and Community Corrections on the programs, strategies, and system enhancements funded pursuant to this chapter. The report shall be in a format specified by the board that consolidates the report to be submitted pursuant to this chapter with the annual report to be submitted to the board for the Youthful Offender Block Grant program, as required by subdivision (c) of Section 1961 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. The report shall include all of the following:
(i) An updated description of the programs, strategies, and system enhancements that have been funded pursuant to this chapter in the immediately preceding fiscal year.

(iv) Countywide juvenile justice trend data available from existing statewide juvenile justice data systems or networks, as specified by the Board of State and Community Corrections, including, but not limited to, arrests, diversions, petitions filed, petitions sustained, placements, incarcerations, subsequent petitions, and probation violations, and including, in a format to be specified by the board, a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, strategies, or system enhancements funded pursuant to this chapter have or may have contributed to, or influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in the report. (D) The board shall, within 45 days of having received the county’s report, post on its internet website a description or summary of the programs, strategies, or system enhancements that have been supported by funds made available to the county under this chapter.
(E) The Board of State and Community Corrections shall compile the local reports and, by March 1 of each year following their submission, make a report to the Governor and the Legislature summarizing the programs, strategies, and system enhancements and related expenditures made by each county and city and county from the appropriation made for the purposes of this paragraph. The annual report to the Governor and the Legislature shall also summarize the countywide trend data and any other pertinent information submitted by counties indicating how the programs, strategies, or system enhancements supported by funds appropriated under this chapter

have or may have contributed to, or influenced, the trends identified. The board may consolidate the annual report to the Legislature required under this paragraph with the annual report required by subdivision (d) of Section 1961 of the Welfare and Institutions Code for the Youthful Offender Block Grant program. The annual report shall be submitted pursuant to Section 9795, and shall be posted for access by the public on the internet website of the board.
(c) Subject to subdivision (d), for each fiscal year in which the county, each city, the Broadmoor Police Protection District, the Bear Valley Community Services District, the Stallion Springs Community Services District, the Lake Shastina Community Services District, and the Kensington Police Protection and Community Services District receive moneys pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (b), the county, each city, and each district specified in this subdivision shall appropriate those moneys in accordance with the following procedures:
(1) In the case of the county, the county board of supervisors shall appropriate existing and anticipated moneys exclusively to provide frontline law enforcement services, other than those services specified in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (b), in the unincorporated areas of the county, in response to written requests submitted to the board by the county sheriff and the district attorney. Any request submitted pursuant to this paragraph shall specify the frontline law enforcement needs of the requesting entity, and those personnel, equipment, and programs that are necessary to meet those needs.
(2) In the case of a city, the city council shall appropriate existing and anticipated moneys exclusively to fund frontline municipal police services, in accordance with written requests submitted by the chief of police of that city or the chief administrator of the law enforcement agency that provides police services for that city. (3) In the case of the Broadmoor Police Protection District within the County of San Mateo, the Bear Valley Community Services District or the Stallion Springs Community Services District within Kern County, the Lake Shastina Community Services District within Siskiyou County, or the Kensington Police Protection and Community Services District within Contra Costa County, the legislative body of that special district shall appropriate existing and anticipated moneys exclusively to fund frontline municipal police services, in accordance with written requests submitted by the chief administrator of the law enforcement agency that provides police services for that special district.
(d) For each fiscal year in which the county, a city, or the Broadmoor Police Protection District within the County of San Mateo, the Bear Valley Community Services District or the Stallion Springs Community Services District within Kern County, the Lake Shastina Community Services District within Siskiyou County, or the Kensington Police Protection and Community Services District within Contra Costa County receives any moneys pursuant to this chapter, in no event shall the governing body of any of those recipient agencies subsequently alter any previous, valid appropriation by that body, for that same fiscal year, of moneys allocated to the county or city pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (b).

(e) For the 2011–12 fiscal year, the Controller shall allocate 23.54 percent of the amount deposited in the Local Law Enforcement Services Account in the Local Revenue Fund 2011 for the purposes of paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subdivision (b), and shall allocate 23.54 percent for purposes of paragraph (4) of subdivision (b). (f) Commencing with the 2012–13 fiscal year, subsequent to the allocation described in subdivision (c) of Section 29552, the Controller shall allocate 23.54363596 percent of the remaining amount deposited in the Enhancing Law Enforcement Activities Subaccount in the Local Revenue Fund 2011 for the purposes of paragraphs (1) to (3), inclusive, of subdivision (b), and, subsequent to the allocation described in subdivision (c) of Section 29552, shall allocate 23.54363596 percent of the remaining amount for purposes of paragraph (4) of subdivision (b). (g) Commencing with the 2013–14 fiscal year, subsequent to the allocation described in subdivision (d) of Section 29552, the Controller shall allocate

23.54363596 percent of the remaining amount deposited in the Enhancing Law Enforcement Activities Subaccount in the Local Revenue Fund 2011 for the purposes of paragraphs (1) to (3), inclusive, of subdivision (b), and, subsequent to the allocation described in subdivision (d) of Section 29552, shall allocate 23.54363596 percent of the remaining amount for purposes of paragraph (4) of subdivision (b). The Controller shall allocate funds in monthly installments to local jurisdictions for public safety in accordance with this section as annually calculated by the Director of Finance. (h) Funds received pursuant to subdivision (b) shall be expended or encumbered in accordance with this chapter no later than June 30 of the following fiscal year. A local agency that has not met the requirement of this subdivision shall remit unspent SLESA moneys received after April 1, 2009, to the Controller for deposit in the Local Safety and Protection Account, after April 1, 2012, to the Local Law Enforcement Services Account, and after July 1, 2012, to the County Enhancing Law Enforcement Activities Subaccount. This subdivision shall become inoperative on July 1, 2015. (i) In the 2010–11 fiscal year, if the fourth quarter revenue derived from fees imposed by subdivision (a) of Section 10752.2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code that are deposited in the General Fund and transferred to the Local Safety and Protection Account, and continuously appropriated to the Controller for allocation pursuant to this section, are insufficient to provide a minimum grant of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) to each law enforcement jurisdiction, the county auditor shall allocate the revenue proportionately, based on the allocation schedule in paragraph (3) of subdivision (b). The county auditor shall proportionately allocate, based on the allocation schedule in paragraph (3) of subdivision (b), all revenues received after the distribution of the fourth quarter allocation attributable to these fees for which payment was due prior to July 1, 2011, until all minimum allocations are fulfilled, at which point all remaining revenue shall be distributed proportionately among the other jurisdictions.
(j) The county auditor shall redirect unspent funds that were remitted after July 1, 2012, by a local agency to the County Enhancing Law Enforcement Activities

Subaccount pursuant to subdivision (h), to the local agency that remitted the unspent funds in an amount equal to the amount remitted.
(Amended by Stats. 2019, Ch. 29, Sec. 112. (SB 82) Effective June 27, 2019.)

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: September 28, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
Subject: City Council Meeting of September 28, 2023
Below you will find questions received from the Mayor or Councilmembers and answers provided by City staff regarding tonight’s City Council meeting:

ITEM 13a: APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL, SUCCESSOR AGENCY, AND HOUSING AUTHORITY

MINUTES
City staff notes a correction will be made to the September 14, 2023, Study Session Minutes to reflect the absence of Councilmember Nestande.

ITEM 13c: APPROVAL OF THE 2023 PALM DESERT GOLF CART PARADE Q1: Is the $25K for Golf Cart parade our contribution to the Chamber via police services or is this in addition to it?
A1: This $25,000 is in addition to the $60,000 sponsorship as the City Council previously approved in-kind police services related to this event. The $25,000 will not be paid to the Chamber of Commerce. It is a budget transfer from one City account to another.

Q2: Will Burrtec have compost bins on site? Will they be available for the vendors? A2: For the Golf Cart Parade, Burrtec will provide cardboard trash and recycle bins as there won’t be many food vendors present. For the City’s 50th Anniversary Celebration (The Party in the Park), the City will ask Burrtec to provide compost containers for food vendors and attendees.

Additionally, beginning in 2024, in accordance with SB 1383, all events taking place in the city with over 2,000 attendees that serve food will be required to work with FIND Food Bank to set up an edible food recovery system. Staff will also work with Burrtec on a plan for collecting non-edible food waste at large scale City-produced events.

09/28/2023 Question & Answer Memo

ITEM 13i: APPROVE THE ADDITION OF IMPROVEMENTS FOR PUBLIC PARKING AND OPEN SPACE TO APN 620-400-625 TO THE CITY’S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Q1: What is the reason for the $76K surplus? Have all of the needs been met? Is there any deferred maintenance or costs that may have been overlooked? Can this be used for training, such as professional development seminars to strengthen support to the volunteers and the community?
A1: This fund is restricted to items that supplement direct law enforcement service. Last fiscal year, there was $161,284 carried forward from previous years of unspent revenue. This is on top of the new annual allocation. Our goal has been to expend the previous years’ amounts to reconcile this fund and supply the Sheriff’s department with equipment, tools, and staffing resources. We were able to take care of immediate needs but did not exhaust all the previous year’s grant amounts. Going forward with this plan, we will expend the $76,000 surplus and new allocation on equipment like tactical vests, crime suppression and speed enforcement programs.

ITEM 14a: APPROVE AN AGREEMENT WITH KINGDOM CAUSES DBA CITY NET FOR CITY

HOMELESS OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT SERVICES
Q1: In addition to the email, phone, and text communication listed, will City Net have access to the Homelessness Support requests made on the PD App? If so, how soon after the report is made?
A1: Yes, City staff will continue to manage all incoming requests for homeless support coming from our City App, email, and phone; and coordinate responses with City Net. Once they have learned the resource system here in Palm Desert, we will work to integrate them into our service request system.

Q2: What is the success rate of Landlord Engagement? How is success measured? A2: Program staff will assist all clients on a pathway to housing. That can include a variety of options through coordinated entry, income, and landlord engagement to find viable housing options. Landlord engagement is difficult as rental occupancy rates are very high, leaving limited availability throughout the state. The team makes every effort to identify and engage landlords. Success rates will vary depending on region. Success is measured by identifying viable landlords open to renting to our unhoused participants, and successfully connecting them to move-in.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 28, 2023
PREPARED BY: Deborah Glickman, Management Analyst
REQUEST: APPROVE A PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY

OF PALM DESERT AND THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM

DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND A COMPENSATION

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PALM DESERT AND THE

RIVERSIDE COUNTY DESIGNATED TAXING ENTITIES FOR ASS
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Approve a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) between the City of Palm Desert and the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency (SARDA) for Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 620-400-025.

2. Authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to make non-monetary changes to the PSA.

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute any and all documents associated with the PSA.

4. Approve Compensation Agreements between the City of Palm Desert and the Riverside County designated taxing entities for APN 620-400-025.

5. Authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to make non-monetary changes to the Compensation Agreements.

6. Authorize the City Manager to execute any and all documents associated with the Compensation Agreements.

7. Appropriate $4,600,000 from unobligated Desert Willow Capital Fund Balance Account No. 4414195-4809200 for the purchase of APN 620-400-025.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

APN 620-400-625 (14.46 acres), also referred to as Parcel A, is located adjacent to 34.25 acres of undeveloped land on Desert Willow Drive north of Country Club Drive. To preserve open space for its residents and visitors, the City seeks to acquire the parcel from SARDA for use as public parking and recreational space. To facilitate the construction of the improvements, the City needs to acquire the parcel from the SARDA, and to do so the City needs to enter into a PSA with SARDA for the Fair Market Value (FMV) of $4,600,000 for Lot Pad A, based on the September 2023 appraisal.

The sale of the parcel from SARDA to the City is contingent on approvals from the Riverside County Oversight Board (OB) and the State of California Department of Finance (DOF).

Additionally, the City must enter into compensation agreements with Riverside County designated taxing entities. Acquiring the parcel at fair market value (FMV), rather than a reduced price, is expected to streamline the necessary approvals for the acquisition to ensure a smoother sales process.

SARDA and Surplus Land Act

City of Palm Desert
APN 620-400-025 PSA and Compensation Agreement

In December 2022, Parcel A was identified in the City approved Central Inventory of surplus City and SARDA properties. In order to dispose of properties on the Central Inventory, SARDA is required to follow the State’s April 2021 Surplus Land Act (SLA) Guidelines. These Guidelines require that a local agency sell property through a Notice of Availability and subsequent negotiation processes that favor affordable housing; however, Section 103 of the Guidelines allows for exceptions to this standard SLA process. Specifically, Section 103(3)(d) allows for a property to be declared “Exempt Surplus” on the occasion that “Local agency surplus land is transferred to another local, state, or federal agency for the transferee agency’s use.” The City, which is a separate and distinct local agency from SARDA, intends to use the property for use of a public parking lot and recreational space. In order to sell the property, SARDA must approve a Resolution declaring it “Exempt Surplus” for the purposes of the Surplus Land Act. That Resolution is provided in a separate staff report and is on the same SARDA Board meeting agenda as this request (September 28, 2023).

Contingent upon the SARDA Board’s approval of the Resolution, staff is seeking approval of a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) between SARDA and the City. Once the SARDA Board approves the PSA, it will be brought forward for approval with the Riverside County Oversight Board (OB). Once approved by the OB, it will be forwarded to the State of California Department of Finance (DOF), which will have forty (40) days to respond to the PSA. Once the PSA is approved by all entities, SARDA will be allowed to sell the property to the City. It is anticipated that approval of the PSA and acquisition of Parcel A will occur in Q1 2024.

Compensation Agreement
Parcel A is listed on the June 2, 2014, DOF approved Long Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP) as having “No Potential” for government use. With that designation, the intention is for SARDA to sell the parcel and forward the proceeds of the sale to Riverside County to disburse to the Riverside County designated taxing entities.

Since the parcel is now being sold for a purpose other than what it is designated as on the LRPMP, in addition to the PSA, the City is required to enter into Compensation Agreements with each of the designated taxing entities. Once the agreements with the taxing entities are executed, and the Resolution and PSA are approved by the SARDA Board, staff will bring the item before the OB and DOF for approval for SARDA to sell the parcel to the City.

Details and location of the parcel are as follows:

RECITALS:

A. Pursuant to AB X1 26 (enacted in June 2011), as modified by the California Supreme Court’s decision in California Redevelopment Association, et al. v. Ana Matosantos, et al., 53 Cal.4th 231(2011) (Matosantos), the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Desert (the “Former Agency”) was dissolved, the Successor Agency was established, and an oversight board to the Successor Agency (the “Oversight Board”) was established.

B. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34175(b) and the California Supreme Court’s decision in Matosantos, on February 1, 2012, properties of the Former Agency transferred to the control of the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Desert (the “Successor Agency”) by operation of law, including the property described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Property”).

C. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34191.5(b), the Successor Agency prepared a long-range property management plan (the “LRPMP”) which addresses the disposition and use of the properties of the Former Agency, and by letter dated May 5, 2014, the Department of Finance (the “DOF”) approved the Successor Agency’s disposition of the properties listed in the LRPMP. The Desert Willow Property, consisting of two (2) parcels and identified as Project 12(a) in the LRPMP, is designated as an Economic Development Property.

D. The City has subsequently determined that it is in the best interests of the public and the City to develop public parking on a portion of the Property and to maintain open space on the remaining portion.

E. Health and Safety Code Section 34191.5 provides that a permissible use of former redevelopment agency property is the retention by the City for governmental use and

2 that an oversight board may require that the City enter into a compensation agreement, as described in Health and Safety Code Section 34180(f) with respect to properties retained by the City, including the Property, with all of the affected taxing entities, as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 34171(k) (the “Taxing Entities”).

F. The Parties to this Agreement are affected Taxing Entities. The complete list of the Taxing Entities and the Applicable Tax Rate of each is shown on Exhibit B, each of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

G. To promote the public interest, the Taxing Entities and the City are entering into this Compensation Agreement to provide for the City to compensate the Taxing Entities with respect to the Property in accordance with the terms of this Compensation Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE COMPENSATION, BOTH

MONETARY AND NONMONETARY, AND THE COVENANTS PROVIDED HEREIN, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

Section 18. Purpose. This Agreement is executed with reference to the facts set forth in the foregoing Recitals which are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. The purpose of this Agreement is to address the allocation of certain prospective revenues among the Taxing Entities that share in the property tax base (“Tax Base”) for property located within the project area (the “Project Area”) formerly administered by the Former Agency.

Section 2. Compensation Arrangement.

A. Consent to Transfer. The City intends to develop and use the Property for public parking and open space. The Taxing Entities hereby irrevocably consent to the transfer of the Property by the Successor Agency to the City for the purpose of developing and maintaining public parking and open space, subject to the following agreement of the Parties as to compensation to be paid by the City for the Property.

The City agrees that in connection with the conveyance of the Property to the City, the City will pay the fair market value for the Property as established by a formal MAI appraisal. The term “Net Sale Proceeds” shall mean the gross sales price paid by the City for the Property, less actual costs for allowable expenses incurred by the Successor Agency. Pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement by and between the Successor Agency and the City, upon the close of escrow, the City will cause the Net Sale Proceeds to be remitted to the Riverside County Auditor-Controller for distribution to the Taxing Entities in accordance with each Taxing Entity’s pro rata share of the Tax Base (the “Compensation Amount”).

The Taxing Entities acknowledge that the Compensation Amount represents a negotiated consideration for the City’s ability to retain the Property pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34180(f)(1) and the Taxing Entities hereby waive their respective rights to seek additional or alternative compensation for the value of the Property pursuant to that provision for the transfer to the City.

B. ERAF. The Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (“ERAF”) is entitled to a distribution of Applicable Net Sales Proceeds under this Agreement. Pursuant to instruction and direction from the DOF and the Auditor-Controller, there is no need for a separate signatory to execute this Agreement on behalf of ERAF because the ultimate

3 beneficiaries of any distribution of Disposition Proceeds to ERAF are themselves Taxing Entities that are signatories to this Agreement.

C. Accounting Requirements. Upon any request, the City shall deliver to the Taxing Entities an accounting of all costs, expenses and proceeds relating to the sale and transfer of the Property to the City. The City shall require as a condition of the purchase and sale agreement that complete accurate and appropriate books and records be kept of the calculation of the Net Sale Proceeds with respect to the Property. The Riverside County AuditorController shall have the right, on behalf of the Taxing Entities and upon reasonable written notice to City, to audit and examine such books, records and documents and other relevant items in the possession of City, but only to the extent necessary for a proper determination of Net Sale Proceeds. The Parties acknowledge that the Riverside Countywide Oversight Board has the authority to direct the production of all relevant books, records and documents relating to the sale and transfer of the Property to the City in connection with its review and consideration of the transaction prior to acting on a request by the Successor Agency to proceed with the sale and transfer.

Section 3. Effective Date.

Section 4. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless sooner terminated as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall expire upon the distribution by the Escrow Holder of all amounts payable to the Taxing Entities under this Agreement, if any.

4 by the other Parties. Any executed counterpart of this Agreement may be delivered to the other Parties by facsimile and shall be deemed as binding as if an originally signed counterpart was delivered.

SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE

PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 28, 2023
PREPARED BY: Deborah Glickman, Management Analyst
REQUEST: SUCCESSOR AGENCY - APPROVE A LICENSE AGREEMENT

BETWEEN THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND THE CITY OF PALM DESERT FOR
ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBER 620-400-025
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Approve a License Agreement between the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency (SARDA) and the City of Palm Desert for Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 620-400-025 for two (2) years at a rate of one dollar ($1).

2. Authorize the SARDA Attorney to make non-monetary changes to the License Agreement.

3. Authorize the Executive Director to execute the License Agreement and all related documents for the sale.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

APN 620-400-625 (14.46 acres), also referred to as Parcel A, is located adjacent to 34.25 acres of undeveloped land on Desert Willow Drive north of Country Club Drive. To preserve open space for its current residents and visitors, the City seeks to acquire the parcel from SARDA for use as public parking and recreational space.

In order to improve the parcel, SARDA needs to attain approval from the SARDA Board, Riverside County Oversight Board (OB), and the State of California Department of Finance (DOF) prior to the sale. The parcel is on SARDA’s June 2, 2014, DOF approved Long Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP) with a designation of “No Potential”, indicating that there was no intended government use for the parcel and that SARDA will sell it and disburse the proceeds of the sale to the Riverside County designated taxing entities as required.

Subsequent to the DOF’s approval of the LRPMP, the City determined that the parcel would be better used for public parking and recreational space for the Palm Desert community and is seeking to acquire the parcel for this purpose. The City anticipates commencing improvements on the parcel in Q4 2023. Prior to commencing with improvements, the City must enter into a short-term license agreement with SARDA for the use of Parcel A during the interim period until a purchase of the property is completed. The license agreement would lease the parcel to the City for two (2) years at a rate of one dollar ($1). Special legal counsel recommends that the City does not build improvements on the parcel prior to its acquisition or entering into a license agreement with SARDA. If the City commences with improvements prior to doing so, it could be considered a gift of public funds.

Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency APN 620-400-025 License Agreement

A license agreement between SARDA and the City allows the City to start improvements prior to the acquisition of the property; however, there is a risk that the parcel will not be allowed to be sold and the City would lose its investment in the improvements. Special legal counsel acknowledges that this risk is minimal but must be considered prior to the start of the improvements. Furthermore, SARDA is prohibited from conducting work that includes demolition, alteration, construction, site development or improvement, or land clearance, except as required by an enforceable obligation. A license agreement in this context is not an enforceable obligation for the former redevelopment agency, nor does it create any legal interest in the subject property. Rather, the agreement grants permission to the City to enter the property to conduct the licensed activity at the licensee’s (the City) own risk.

It is estimated that the sale of the parcel will be completed during Q1 2024, dependent on approvals from all designated entities (SARDA Board, OB, DOF, and designated taxing entities).

If the sale of the parcel is completed prior to the end of the license agreement it can be terminated early.

Details and location of the property are as follows.

IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Approve the addition of improvements for public parking and open space to APN 620-400- 625 to the City’s Capital Improvement Program.

2. Authorize the Director of Finance to appropriate $1,891,588 from unobligated Desert Willow Capital Fund Balance to Account No. 4414195-4809200, Project Code CFA 00025, for the parking lot improvements to Lot A
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

APN 620-400-625 (14.46 acres), also referred to as Parcel A, is located adjacent to 34.25 acres of undeveloped land on Desert Willow Drive north of Country Club Drive. To preserve open space for its residents and visitors, the City of Palm Desert (City) seeks to acquire the parcel from the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency (SARDA) for use as public parking and recreational open space.

To facilitate the construction of the improvements, the City must first acquire the parcel from SARDA, and receive approval from the Riverside County Oversight Board (OB) and the State of California Department of Finance (DOF). To expedite the construction of improvements to Lot A, the City and the SARDA have agreed to a Licensing Agreement that will allow the City to proceed with improvements to Lot A while the formal acquisition process continues with hearings with the OB and DOF.

To expedite the design and construction of the improvements, the City has entered into a Contract (Contract No. C45780) with The Altum Group for the design and engineering of the parking lot improvements; however, the Contract requires an appropriation of funds. The project is currently out for bids. Staff will return to the City Council at its October 26th meeting, to request approval to award the construction contract. Once the contract is approved, construction will commence with substantial completion in December of 2023.

Staff is now seeking City Council approval to add the project to the City’s Capital Improvement Program and allocate funds for the design contract and construction cost. The allocation should come from the unobligated Desert Willow Capital Fund Balance for the construction of the parking area. The City has already taken a separate action to allocate funds for the acquisition of the site.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 28, 2023
PREPARED BY: Jason Austin, Social Services Coordinator
REQUEST: APPROVE AN AGREEMENT WITH KINGDOM CAUSES DBA CITY NET

FOR CITY HOMELESS OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Approve an agreement for $250,813.13 with Kingdom Causes DBA City Net to provide street outreach and engagement homeless services from October 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, with two optional one year extensions.

2. Authorize Director of Finance to appropriate $101,000 in unobligated Opioid Settlement Special Funds to Account No. 2264212-4309000 and transfer $150,000 from Permanent Local Housing Allocation Funds Account No. 2254199-4501000 to Account No. 2254212- 4309000.

3. Authorize the City Attorney to make non-monetary changes to the agreement and the City Manager or designee to execute the agreement.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The City Council has been committed to addressing homelessness through activities and projects that provide support to those experiencing homelessness in the City. Over the last two County-facilitated Point-in-Time (PIT) Counts, Palm Desert counted 26 and 39 unhoused individuals in Years 2022 and 2023 respectively. To engage those experiencing homelessness, the City had contracted with the County’s Homeless Outreach Program since July 2019. In July 2023, the City released an updated request for proposal for street outreach and engagement homeless services. That process was completed in August 2023 with a new provider identified to move forward for City Council approval.

City Net is one of the largest street outreach nonprofit providers in Southern California with fifty active city, county, state, and federal contracts providing homeless and social services to vulnerable populations. This new agreement proposes to commence immediately upon City Council approval for a street outreach and engagement program in Palm Desert. City Net will provide two full-time Case Managers and administrative support to engage individuals experiencing homelessness in the city. As this contract will be funded by Opioid Settlement Funding, the program will have a focus on screening participants for substance use and mental health issues and linking them to appropriate levels of care in addition to shelter and housing.

The City Council has previously opted-in to the Opioid Settlement Agreements which includes language designating eligible uses including addressing the needs of communities of color and vulnerable populations including sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations that are disproportionately impacted by Substance Use Disorders.

City of Palm Desert
Approve Agreement for Homeless Outreach Services

The goal of these services is to engage individuals experiencing homelessness where they are in the City to provide linkage to housing, treatment or supportive services. This requires having trained outreach responders in the field engaging unhoused individuals repeatedly to build trust in an effort to connect them to treatment and increased housing stability.

LEGAL REVIEW:

This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.

APPOINTED BODY RECOMMENDATION:

This program was approved by the City’s Homeless Task Force as part of their Annual Work Plan.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The Opioid Settlement Agreements made available for participation by cities and counties provided $100,000 in revenue in 2022/23. It is anticipated to grow to approximately $175,000 annually over the next ten years for the City to connect unhoused individuals to behavioral health services and housing. Additionally, the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program has been established as an additional funding source for homeless programs in the City. This outreach and engagement program will be funded by these two funding sources as shown in the table below. There is no impact to the General Fund with this action.

Mr. Austin,
I am writing as an authorized representative of Kingdom Causes, Inc. DBA City Net. Kingdom Causes is a 501(c)(3) organization with tax-exempt status and a current valid business license with the State of California.

City Net is well positioned, qualified, and experienced to partner with the City of Palm Desert as the provider for the Homeless Outreach and Engagement Services Contract.

We demonstrate in this proposal through our staffing plan, budget, experience, references, methodology, training, infrastructure, and documentation that we can perform all the necessary services, on time, on budget, and with excellence.

As part of our organizational DNA and vision statement, we value collaboration. Relationships are important, both with our clients and partners. We are responsive to requests for clarifications, modifications, documentation, and data. We aim to satisfy the requirements of all our contracts and to exceed expectations and standards.

We invite you to inquire with our references listed here and government agencies and entities with which we have partnered to see how their experience has been. We have a demonstrated history over the last ten years of dozens of contracts completed on time, on budget, and with data that confirms and validates our performance. Our past fiscal year (22-23) budget of $25 million and our current calendar year budget (2023) of $35 million reflect the scope of our work, the growth of our partnerships and services, and a validation from City and County governments across California of the caliber and seriousness of our work.

Arguably the most important aspect of our work is our relationship and success with each person we encounter experiencing street-level homelessness. We specialize in this work, and everything we do in our hiring, training, methodology, reporting, and case management reflects this priority. We use best practices, policies and procedures for street outreach and engagement, case management, and housing navigation to place our clients in available housing units.

Throughout this process, City Net will coordinate with representatives of the City of Palm Desert to ensure the overall vision of the program, including its budget, safety, and timelines are within the parameters of all agreements.

1. Background: Provide history of the agency’s experience which specifically addresses the agency's experience with similar Service as described in this RFP.

City Net is committed to breaking the cycle of homelessness in the communities we serve by connecting neighbors experiencing homelessness to transformative care and innovative housing solutions.

City Net is one of the largest street outreach nonprofit organizations in Southern California with 225+ dedicated to direct client engagement on the streets or in interim housing shelters. Southern California has many excellent homeless service providers—many of them larger than City Net—but few can match our focus on direct client services in the field. It is our main service, so we have developed unparalleled expertise.

City Net also has a unique skill set in providing street outreach to challenging unsheltered encampments. We have successfully partnered with city and county agencies on some of the largest and most visible homeless encampments in the history of southern California, including the Santa Ana River Trail in Orange County, the Civic Center/Plaza of the Flags in Santa Ana, La Palma Park/Maxwell Park in Anaheim, State Street in Santa Barbara, the Riverbed and Massachusetts Avenue in Riverside County, amongst others. Additionally, City Net had a contract with CalTrans and currently has one with Union Pacific Railroad for outreach, engagement, and case management for neighbors experiencing homelessness along high-risk transit corridors around San Diego and along railroads throughout Southern California. City Net has also had experience in family reunification, housing navigation, and housing retention services in the County of Riverside, and is familiar with the CES housing matching process.

City Net has the capacity, experience, infrastructure, processes, and technology that align with being a primary service provider addressing homelessness in the City of Palm Desert. We can be ready to start service provision from Day One of a contract, and we have the competitive advantage of having built up, tested, and implemented the unique pipeline and breadth of service of our outreach and engagement teams (along with all of the existing technology and staffing models, vendor relationships, and policies and procedures that come with them), with contracts in 7 of the 15 largest cities in all of California.

City Net currently has more than 50 active contracts, including city, county, state, federal, and corporate contracts, with others pending, many of them similar in type and scope to this one. Most of our contracts are yearlong and usually get renewed serially, depending on funding availability.

As a summary example of our work, in the last completed fiscal year alone we estimate that we facilitated almost 3,000 Street Exits (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development HousingQualified Programs), 500+ Permanent Housing Placements, 33,000+ Outreach Engagements, and 30,000 Diverted Emergency Service Calls. We worked in seven different California counties (Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, Santa Barbara, San Diego, San Joaquin, and Sacramento) and the Union Pacific Railroad lines (statewide). City Net also provided 25,000+ Shelter Bed Nights and oversaw more than 4,300 Volunteer Hours through all programs.

4508 Atlantic Avenue, Suite 292, Long Beach, CA 90807 | @CityNetSoCal | www.citynet.org 4 City Net has a history and reputation of being able to say yes to projects that have very short timelines, and its values of positivity, collaboration (over 250 partnerships forged), initiative, empowerment, transparency, and being solutions-focused all serve it well in such times and opportunities.

Outreach Engagement is one of the visible services City Net provides, and case managers are trained to follow best practices in a professional manner. Before beginning outreach engagement, case managers must pass 80 hours of case management training which includes, but is not limited to: rapport building, whole-person care, implicit bias, mental health and behavioral health first aid, trauma-informed care, housing first principles, de-escalation, motivational interviewing, progressive engagement, and housing retention services. Case Managers are aware that it can take between 8-10 engagements before an outreach contact agrees to services and continue to visit clients with patience until they are ready to engage.

Engagement Services

4508 Atlantic Avenue, Suite 292, Long Beach, CA 90807 | @CityNetSoCal | www.citynet.org 8 Engagement Services are activities to locate, identify, and build relationships with unsheltered homeless individuals to offer immediate support, intervention, and connections with homeless assistance programs and/or mainstream social services and other housing programs. Specific activities include:
• Responding to community needs reported through email, phone calls, and texts from City of Palm Desert staff, hospital discharge staff, law enforcement, and other homeless service agencies
• Documenting outreach engagements properly in HMIS and City Net’s internal tracking software to create a by-name list
• Providing opportunities for outreach engagements at any community-hosted events • Conducting an initial assessment of client needs and eligibility • Providing informal crisis counseling
• Addressing urgent physical needs, such as providing meals, blankets, clothes, or toiletries • Actively connecting and providing information and referrals to needed services.

An example of emergency health services to which City Net will refer homeless neighbors is outpatient

4508 Atlantic Avenue, Suite 292, Long Beach, CA 90807 | @CityNetSoCal | www.citynet.org 9 treatment of urgent medical conditions by licensed medical professionals in community-based settings (e.g., streets, parks, campgrounds) to those eligible participants unwilling or unable to access emergency shelter or an appropriate healthcare facility.

• Assessing health problems and developing treatment plans • Assistance in understanding health needs
• Administering Narcan when necessary and partnering with Public Health and/or County Mental Health providers to distribute Narcan with educational information when available • Providing directly or assisting to obtain appropriate emergency medical treatment • Providing medication and follow-up services.

City Net will refer homeless neighbors to emergency mental health services to the extent that other customary emergency mental health services and treatments are unavailable or inaccessible to the homeless neighbor. An example of emergency health services to which City Net will refer homeless neighbors is outpatient treatment of urgent mental health conditions by licensed professionals in community-based setting (e.g., streets, parks, and campgrounds) to those eligible participants unable or unwilling to access emergency shelter or an appropriate mental health care facility. City Net may assist mental healthcare professionals in the case management aspects of the following activities:

• Provision of public transportation for participants
• Transportation costs (bus tickets, gas, minor car repairs, etc.) to assist homeless neighbors to relocate out of the region, provided they have permanent housing there. • Assistance to program participants to use public transportation.

Services for Special Populations
Services for special populations are essential services that have been tailored to address the special needs of homeless youths, those with criminal backgrounds and/or history of involvement with the justice system, victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, including

4508 Atlantic Avenue, Suite 292, Long Beach, CA 90807 | @CityNetSoCal | www.citynet.org 10 connections to services offered by rape crisis centers, domestic violence shelters, and other organizations that serve persons who meet the HUD definition of homelessness and have special needs.

Food and Emergency Services
Food and other emergency services will be given to clients primarily as they first move into housing and for emergency circumstances. During the duration of their tenancy, clients will be connected to food banks and service agencies in the community as their primary resource for emergency needs.

In addition to street outreach and engagement, City Net also enrolls clients in HMIS and works to connect clients to cash/non-cash benefits and permanent housing plans. City Net practices progressive engagement in case management, meaning case managers strive to meet clients frequently in the beginning (1-3 times per week) until a strong rapport is built, clients stabilize, and housing documents are obtained. They then reduce the number of interactions to weekly or bi-weekly as clients progress through the system and get closer to their housing goals.

Case Management

• Assessment and intake using HMIS

• Federal-State Unemployment Insurance Program
• Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
• General Relief (GR)

4508 Atlantic Avenue, Suite 292, Long Beach, CA 90807 | @CityNetSoCal | www.citynet.org 11 • Other mainstream resources such as housing, health, social services, employment, education services and youth programs that an individual or family may be eligible to receive.

Landlord Engagement
Landlord engagement involves housing navigators and case managers reaching out to private landlords in the community to advocate for clients to be matched to housing opportunities. Specific activities include:
• Educate private landlords on the Rapid Re-Housing program’s policies and protocols • Provide information regarding City Net’s landlord incentive programs and the benefits of participation
• Advocate for clients’ housing needs
• Match clients to specific units with landlords who have a shared interest • Provide a hotline number to call for emergencies
• Create a line of communication for when new units become available Housing Navigation

• Conducting Housing Needs Assessment
• Creating Housing Budget
• Completing housing applications
• Addressing and overcoming any potential barriers to housing (no/low credit, criminal charges, lack of rental history, etc.)
• Introducing landlord to client
• Introduction to the neighborhood so the client can assess access and transportation to daily errands and supportive services

Provide a detailed response to the following questions.

1. Describe how your agency will ensure services are provided in a culturally competent manner.

City Net does not discriminate amongst its clients on the basis of race, color, ancestry, religion, religious creed, sex, gender, national origin, age, disability, HIV status, marital status, military or veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, medical condition, or any other protected characteristic under applicable law.

Working in seven counties in California, already a diverse region, City Net’s clients reflect the full diversity of culture, race, and ethnicity. A disproportionate number of California’s homeless population identifies as African American, Asian American, Latino American, or Native American, and because of increased discrimination against and victimization of these neighbors, City Net seeks to assist this specific population in our day-to-day work. Our staff are trained to practice advocacy at the forefront of our work and actively support reforms to inequities within the systems that continue to devastate our most vulnerable neighbors.

City Net conducts staff trainings on Implicit Bias, Cultural Competency, and Capitalizing on Diversity, as well as on Building a Culture of Anti-Racism published by OC Human Relations.

City Net also values the certifications of external agencies for the sake of accountability, integrity, and trust-building amongst its constituents, donors, stakeholders, clients, and staff, and as such has achieved Platinum status for the last four years from GuideStar, one of the premier certification agencies for nonprofit organizations. One area newly introduced in their evaluation process is the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion status. It is in the plan and vision of City Net to comply with all DEI inquiries.

Our street and encampment outreach itself is designed to be comprehensive in nature, engaging every single individual we encounter who may be experiencing homelessness.

2. Describe your agency experience providing homeless related services and how your agency will form and maintain effective collaborations with city departments, community providers, law enforcement, neighbors and other residents, businesses, the County of Riverside and Continuum of Care providers.

Partnering with existing service providers is part of our modus operandi. We do so not out of obligation, but out of a sincere belief that only in partnership with others will street level homelessness be eliminated. In our very vision statement, our objective is to reduce homelessness to functional zero in the regions we serve through collaborative supportive services, housing provision, and data-driven solutions that empower our clients to reach their personal goals.

We don’t have the space to list our partnerships here, but the list is over 250 partnering agencies. We have relationships with and formal contracts and MOU’s with shelters, mental health facilities, and rehab centers throughout California for the purpose of securing beds or placements for our clients. We partner with several agencies for medical and mental health professionals to accompany our Response Teams to the calls they are dispatched to, allowing us to offer additional onsite services right where a

3. Describe your agency’s model for outreach and engagement to the homeless community; and how that model will be a strong fit for the city of Palm Desert. What best practices or evidence-based practices will you use, especially trauma-informed care, into the model to be used. Will vehicles be leased, or personal vehicles be used?
Our staff are trained in client-centered, trauma-informed, housing first, and harm reduction methodologies, and offer robust relationship-building, and professional case management in coordination with Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), the Coordinated Entry System (CES), and evidence-based practices.

We have developed strategies and specialized teams for each subpopulation that we serve. We use triggers for change to elicit internal motivation to take the necessary steps to change their lives. We do not push what we think is best, but we honor client choice to create an individualized action plan meeting clients where they are at. We also follow progressive engagement practices, where we meet intensively with the client to address immediate needs, and gain trust and rapport (2-3 times per week) and then slowly decrease the frequency of contact as the client becomes more stabilized, independent, and continues achieving document ready status. We have proven success with our clients through compassion, consistency, and utilizing the client’s timing in order to accept services.

4508 Atlantic Avenue, Suite 292, Long Beach, CA 90807 | @CityNetSoCal | www.citynet.org 16 All City Net programs are informed by and consistent with Housing First principles. Housing First is an approach to serving people experiencing homelessness that recognizes a client must first be able to access a decent, safe place to live that does not limit the length of stay (permanent housing) before stabilizing, improving health, reducing harmful behaviors, or increasing income. Under the Housing First approach, anyone experiencing homelessness is connected to a permanent home as quickly as possible, and programs remove barriers to accessing housing, like requirements for sobriety or absence of criminal history. No one is rejected based on poor credit or financial history, poor or lack of rental history, criminal convictions unrelated to tenancy, or behaviors that indicate a lack of “housing readiness.” Housing First also recognizes the need for robust supportive services upon housing placement. It is not “Housing Only” or “Housing Alone”, but “Housing First”, which implies that additional steps are generally needed to achieve successful long-term housing stability.

All clients in this proposed project will be entered into HMIS and connected to the Coordinated Entry Systems (CES). Case managers will work with clients to achieve document-ready status and enter those documents into the CES to connect clients to potential housing and shelter opportunities. In addition to assuring that resources flow to the most vulnerable homeless individuals through CES, these systems also provide a safeguard against duplication of services because we can see in HMIS what other services and benefits the client is receiving, as well as the agency who may be providing these services. Our case managers reach out to their counterparts at these other agencies to confirm the provision of services, to case conference, and to clarify any questions around potential duplication. When appropriate, City Net staff conduct diversion screening and reunification support to prevent those with other resources from entering the homeless shelter system.

In our vision statement, City Net’s objective is to reduce homelessness to functional zero in the regions we serve through collaborative supportive services, housing provision, and data-driven solutions that empower our clients to reach their personal goals. We know we can best accomplish this with our professional staff, upbeat passion, courage, integrity, and intra-/inter- agency collaboration.

Due to safety regulations and best practices, City Net will use leased vehicles only to transport clients.

Transportation in personal vehicles is against company policy.
