1. SUPPORT FOR CALIFORNIA SENATE BILL 1100: OPEN
MEETINGS: ORDERLY CONDUCT*
6 OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
TO : Legislative Policy Committee
FROM: Phillip Leclair, Acting Assistant City Manager ~
DA TE: April 26, 2022
SUBJECT: Support for California Senate Bill 1100: Open Meetings : Orderly Conduct RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the Legislative Policy Committee approve a "Support" position on Senate Bill 1100 - Open Meetings: Orderly Conduct.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Pasadena is committed to ensuring the public's right to access and participate in public meetings. However, the City must also provide safe and accessible environments in which the public can express their views freely and without intimidation. Senate Bill 1100 is meant to address an unfortunate, but notable, increase in disruptive behavior, hate speech, intimidation, and threats against local elected officials, staff , and members of the public with opposing views.

The Ralph M. Brown Act (the Brown Act) protects public access to meetings of the legislative bodies of local agencies. The Act currently permits members of the legislative body conducting the meeting to order the meeting room cleared and continue in session, as provided, if a group or groups have willfully interrupted the orderly conduct of a meeting and order cannot be restored by the removal of individuals who are willfully interrupting the meeting . This bill -seeks to provide clarity around the issue of when an individual person can be removed for disrupting the orderly conduct of a meeting , by specifying that the presiding member of the legislative body can remove an individual for disrupting a meeting . "Disrupting" is defined as engaging in behavior that actually disrupts, disturbs , impedes , or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting.

The bill includes language that:

1. Authorizes the presiding member of the legislative body conducting a meeting to remove an individual for disrupting the meeting.

2. Defines "disrupting " as engaging in behavior that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting and includes, but is not limited to, both :

City Half • 100 N. Garfield 7 /Jenue • Pasadena , CA 91109 (626) 744-4333 · Fax (626) 744-4774
a. A failure to comply with reasonable and lawful regulations adopted by a legislative body pursuant to Section 54954.3 or 54957.9 of the Government Code or any other law.
b. Engaging in behavior that includes the use of force or true threats of force.

3. States various findings and declarations of the Legislature, including:
a. it is the intent of the Legislature to prescribe requirements for governing public meetings to protect civil liberties in accordance with the United States Constitution, the California Constitution, and relevant law; and b. it is further the intent of the Legislature to codify the authority and standards for governing public meetings in accordance with Acosta v. City of Costa Mesa, 718 F.3d 800, 811 (9th Cir. 2013), in which the court explained that an ordinance governing the decorum of a city council meeting is not facially overbroad if it only permits a presiding officer to eject an attendee for actually disturbing or impeding a meeting.

4. Finds and declares that the bill furthers, within the meaning of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local bodies; and finds the act is necessary to give legislative bodies clear authorization to restore order to meetings in the event of actual disruptions that are disturbing, disrupting, impeding, or rendering infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting and, thereby, preserve the rights of other members of the public at the meeting and allow the legislative body to continue its work on behalf of the public.

The bill is sponsored by the California State Association of Counties and the Urban Counties of California. The bill is supported by local agencies, associations representing local agencies, and a coalition of Indivisible chapters from around the state. The bill is opposed by Californians for Good Governance, Stand UP, and two individuals.
8 SENATOR DAVE CORTESE
SB 1100 - Brown Act Modernization to
Ensure Open & Safe Meetings

SUMMARY
SB 1100 will ensure safe, open, and accessible public
meetings by creating a process to restore order when
disruptions occur that prevent a meeting from
continuing in accordance with law.

BACKGROUND
The Ralph M. Brown Act was enacted in 1953 to
govern the conduct of public meetings for local
legislative bodies.

The Brown Act in the California Government Code
has been amended before to expand public
accessibility while also remaining consistent with the
California Constitution and First Amendment
principles, including through SB 274 (Wieckowski,
2021) and AB 361 (Robert Rivas, 2021).

The Brown Act, as it stands, authorizes a legislative
body to address disruptions through removal of an
individual or group of individuals who "willfully
interrupt" the proceedings of a public meeting. If,
after their removal, order still cannot be restored, the legislative body can order that a meeting room be
cleared entirely, while allowing news media to still
observe the meeting. In these cases, the legislative
body can establish a process to allow individuals who
did not cause the disturbance to reenter the meeting
room .

ISSUE
It has become increasingly clear that the mechanisms
provided by the Brown Act to deal with disruptions
during public meetings are insufficient. Across
California, public officials and attendees continue to
deal with disorderly conduct during meetings at such
a high magnitude that critical business and the
legislative process as a whole becomes impaired.

We must take steps to clarify what behavior should
be deemed as disruptive to ensure that this definition
is only used with absolute neutrality for those rare
occurrences and prioritize the safety of our officials
who sit on local governing bodies as well as the
public.

THIS BILL
This bill would modernize the Brown Act to meet the
needs of our present-day local governance systems
by:
• Defining what a "willful interruption" is to
ensure an individual(s) is removed from a
public meeting if they substantially impair or
render infeasible the orderly conduct of the
meeting in accordance with law; and
• Establishing a warning system to require that
removal of an individual(s) causing a willful
interruption be preceded by a request that
the individual curtail their disruptive behavior
or be subject to removal.

2. SUPPORT POSITION ON CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY BILL 2723:

ANIMALS: MICROCHIPS *
12 To:

PASADENA PUBLIC HEAL TH DEPARTMENT

MEMORANDUM
From:

Legislative Policy Committee a I /'
Manuel Carmona, Deputy Direct~V\.{U
April 26, 2022 Date:

Re: Approve "Support" Position on California Assembly Bill 2723: Animals:
microchips ·
RECOMMENDATION:

Pasadena Public Health Department (PPHD) recommends the Legislative Policy Committee approve a "Support" position on California Assembly Bill 2723: Animals:
microchips.

BACKGROUND:

California Assembly Bill 2723 intends to increase the likelihood of lost animals being returned to their owners. The legislation builds upon and updates current microchipping protocols generally used by animal shelters, rescue groups, and nonprofits to ensure pet ownership information is updated with microchipping companies upon the adoption, sale, giving away, or other transfer of ownership.

The bill includes language that:
• Requires a public animal control agency or shelter, society for the prevention of cruelty to animals shelter, humane society shelter, or rescue group, to provide information on the transference of ownership, including microchip company information, the microchip number and any other relevant identifiers, and any other information needed for an owner or new owner to register themselves as the microchip's primary contact, as applicable.
• Specifies that when a pet has a preexisting microchip or there is reasonable proof of ownership, the agency, shelter or group shall document and retain a record of all efforts made to contact the microchip's primary registrant or other demonstrated owner for at least two years.

Page 1 of 2 ends

13 AB 2723 - Support
April 26, 2022
• Clarifies that an agency, shelter or group that does not have microchipping capability on location must make a good faith effort to maintain a list of local and regional free or discounted services rather than locate available services.

PPHD manages the City's contract with the Pasadena Humane Society (PHS) and consulted with PHS on any impacts to both the shelter's operation and the broader community should the bill be enacted. PHS supports the bill in its current form as amended on April 20, 2022.

14 Assembly Bill 2723 -Animals: microchips: theft.

Assemblymember Chris R. Holden

SUMMARY
Assembly Bill 2723 provides greater consumer protections to assist in the reclamation of lost pet dogs and cats that are microchipped and creates improved standards for the
microchipping of animals adopted out by public animal
control agencies/shelters and rescue groups.

BACKGROUND
There has been a troubling trend of increased dog theft, including high profile incidences where dog owners have been robbed at gunpoint for their pets. Regarding this
increase in dog theft, Time Magazine reports that the theft of some highly coveted and high-price fetching pet breeds has increased as much as 60% to 80% during the COVID-19
pandemic.1 As a consequence, brazen and aggressive pet
thefts have increased dramatically in the past two years and have captivated public attention. However, the crime carries relatively light consequences for the offenders and,
consequently, provides little deterrent to thieves from engaging in pet theft.

Furthermore, current pet microchipping laws fail to ensure that pets are returned to their rightful owners. At present, when pets are microchipped by organizations before
adoption, these organizations remain as the primary contact registered to the microchips, even after adoption and even once owners are registered to the same microchips (as
secondary contacts). There exists no provision or law which requires these organizations to relinquish primary contact status to owners for microchips placed in pets. Additionally, many of the organizations require adopters to sign binding agreements which allow the organization to reclaim pets if they are found/recovered in the streets. These two factors, combined, mean that pet owners often are not contacted, either immediately or at all, when a lost pet is found, even if the pet is microchipped.

Pet shelters, agencies, humane societies, and rescue
groups, on occasion, have reclaimed already-owned, lost pets and have adopted them out, without the owner's
knowledge or consent, to new homes; thereby earning the adoption fees and depriving original owners of their
companion animals. And, unfortunately, owners typically have no immediate tool or policy for redress in these
instances.

These crimes are also highly emotional injustices which severely affect pet owners' mental health. The National Canine Defense League reports that after the theft or loss of a pet 78% of victims suffer negative psychological effects and approximately 37% suffer severe psychological or
physiological effects.2

EXISTING LAW
Food and Agricultural Code Sec. 31108.3: Defines
conditions for release of found pet dog(s) by animal control agencies/shelters and rescue groups in instances where the pet dog is microchipped.

Food and Agricultural Code Sec. 31752.1: Defines
conditions for release of found pet cat(s) by animal control agencies/shelters and rescue groups in instances where the pet cat is microchipped.

Penal Code Sec. 487e and 487f: Defines penalties for pet theft.

THE SOLUTION
AB 2723 will create greater legal claim for owners to their pets and prioritize the contacting of pets' owners in
instances of pet recovery by requiring that no shelter or rescue group is ever listed as the primary contact on a microchip emplaced within a pet. Furthermore, shelters and rescue groups will also be required to communicate
microchip identifier and registration information to pet adopters.

3. UPDATE OF FEDERAL GRANT OPPORTUNITIES*
18 O FFICE OF THE C ITY M ANAGER
TO: Legislative Policy Committee
FROM : Phillip Leclair, Acting Assistant City Manager ~ DATE: April 26, 2022
SUBJECT: Update on Federal Grant Opportunities
For the second year , Democratic leaders in both the House and Senate lifted what had been a ten year ban on the practice of allowing Members of Congress to direct spending in some legislation to projects in their districts . Formerly known as "earmarks ," Democrats have re-branded the practice for the FY 2023 federal budget process as "Community Funding Projects," in the case of the House Appropriations Committee, or "Congressionally Directed Spending" in the case of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Senators Feinstein and Padilla , as well as Rep. Chu, accepted requests from local governments and non-profits.

Requests had to match with specific accounts at federal agencies in which the Appropriations Committee chose, and while the Committees did not place limits on the amount of spending that could be requested, we heard unofficial reports that the "sweet spot" for a successful request was probably between $1-$1 .5 million through the House Appropriations Committee and between $3-4 million through the Senate Appropriations Committee. Since the earmarks are one-time funding, Committees also preferred that projects be capital in nature, as opposed to ongoing operational expenses . While also not specifically mentioned by the congressional committees as a requirement , we also thought that projects that addressed the Biden Administration ' s priorities of homelessness, violence intervention , racial equity , support for small business and climate change might be attractive.

With the congressional delegation offices allowing short turnaround times (7-14 days) for making requests, staff and our federal advocates agreed on 6 projects for the FY 2023 budget process that fit the categories set by Congress and were part of the Capital Improvement Program process or other program priorities , and thus previously vetted and approved by the City Council.

The projects submitted to Senators Padilla and Feinstein were: North Fair Oaks Ave traffic safety and pedestrian enhancements and Zero Emission Bus and charging infrastructure. The projects submitted to Rep Chu were: Pasadena Outreach Response Team (PORT) for Homeless Outreach and Services; Youth Gang and Violence Intervention & Prevention; Outdoor/On-Street Semi Permanent Dining Infrastructure ; High Voltage Street Light Conversion; and, Zero Emission Bus and charging infrastructure.

Dear Congresswoman-;.,,, ~ v-J-"\ I
On behalf of the City of Pasadena, I am pleased to submit for your consideration five projects for Community Project Funding in FY 2023. The proposed projects have been identified as priority projects for the City of Pasadena and look to address President Biden's priorities of homelessness, violence intervention, racial equity, support for small business, and climate change.

Issues like homelessness and violence are complex problems that require appropriate resources and creative solutions. Pasadena is a leader in developing policies and programs to address these critical issues, but is in need of support to manage increases in cases and instances that require further intervention. Pasadena launched a successful street-based approach to end homelessness called the Pasadena Outreach Response Team (PORT) that identifies individuals impacted by chronic homelessness and, through supportive services and case management, assists them in moving off the streets into permanent housing. Without additional funding for this program, Pasadena will not be able to supp01i the additional team that is needed at a time when the City's homeless population is most vulnerable.

Pasadena is experiencing not only a rise in homelessness, but also an increase in youth gang and gun violence. The City maintains a close network of partners whose expertise lends a collaborative approach to linking at-risk youth with services to enhance and transform family outcomes in diverse neighborhoods in our City. This work is impactful and needed given the racial and social inequalities that are at the forefront of urban communities.

As you know, Pasadena has always been a regional destination for visitors and tourists.

Pasadena's small business community has yet to fully recover from gathering restrictions and hospitality industry protocols that were implemented to control the spread of COVID-19.

Pasadena's restaurants and small businesses are still in need of support to weather the aftennath of the pandemic as well as the loss of daytime customers as telecommuting has become more commonplace. To revitalize its downtown, the City of Pasadena wishes to build upon the early success of its outdoor dining program to create more permanent on-street dining areas within City streets.

Amongst Pasadena's infrastructure needs, two priority projects have been identified for potential financial assistance. Citywide, Pasadena has identified 1,226 high voltage street lights that need to be replaced. The high voltage street light replacement is important for public safety, as the current system experiences intermittent service outages affecting entire neighborhoods.

This creates a safety hazard, especially during times of inclement weather when roadway visibility is the most crucial.

We are also requesting assistance with our efforts to meet the growing demands on our Pasadena Transit bus system. Even though Pasadena Transit is a robust system serving over 1.5 million riders annually, our transit system is not a direct recipient of federal transit funding for our operations or capital needs. Like many bus systems in the country, we did not collect fares for most of the pandemic, further eroding our ability to secure revenue for important projects.

Pasadena desires to purchase two zero emission buses and associated refueling/charging stations to demonstrate the ability of zero emission vehicles to efficiently serve our transit riders and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Thank you for the opportunity to make these requests for community projects funding, and please let me know if I can provide any additional information on any of these important projects. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Acting Assistant City Manager Phillip Leclair at pleclair(Zl;citvofpasadena.net.

RE: Congressionally Directed Spending in FY 2023
Dear Senator ~ein: 1)jc,. ii>Y'<' I
On behalf of the City of Pasadena, I am pleased to submit for your consideration two projects for Congressionally Directed Spending in FY 2023. The two projects have been considered during discussion of the City's Capital Improvement Program and look to address President Biden's priorities of racial equity and climate change.

As you know, Northwest Pasadena is one of the most diverse areas in our City, and the City Council has placed a particular focus on that area for economic revitalization. The first project provides for traffic safety and pedestrian enhancements along North Fair Oaks Avenue, which is a highly visible thoroughfare in Northwest Pasadena which is a historically underserved area within the City of Pasadena. This project seeks to revitalize the entire North Fair Oaks Avenue corridor to a street that serves adjacent Pasadena residents and institutions, such as the Pasadena Public Health Department, various churches, the Boys and Girls Club, senior housing, assisted living facilities, multiple City parks and library.

We are also requesting assistance with our efforts to meet the growing demands on our Pasadena Transit bus system. As you know, even though Pasadena Transit is a robust system serving over 1.5 million riders annually, as a local provider we are not a direct recipient of federal transit funding for our operations or capital needs. Like many bus systems in the country, we did not collect fares for most of the pandemic, further eroding our ability to secure revenue for important projects. This request would allow us to purchase two zero emission buses and associated refueling/charging stations to demonstrate the ability of zero emission vehicles to efficiently serve our transit riders and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 100 North Garfield Av,23,e • Pasadena, CA 91109

Dear Senator Feinstein:

KATHRYN BARGER

SUPERVISOR, FIFTH DISTRICT
I write in strong support of the City of Pasadena's request for Congressionally Directed Spending in FY 2023 to assist in their efforts for economic revitalization in ah underserved area within the city and the purchase of zero emission busses and infrastructure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The economic revitalization project is located in the historically underserved community of Northwest Pasadena along a major stretch of North Fair Oaks Avenue. The project will enhance the public spaces along this corridor and advance equity for the underserved community. By the activation of this corridor with upgrades to pedestrian facilities, and the public spaces this project seeks to promote the revitalization of the businesses and institutions on this roadway and provide stronger connectivity between housing and jobs for residents.

I also strongly support the City of Pasadena;s project for cleaner, greener, zero emission busses and infrastructure serving approximately 1.5 million riders annually. The transportation sector remains the largest sources of emissions in the City of Pasadena, responsible for over half of all emissions. Zero emission busses would allow Pasadena to begin to make the shift to a zero-emission bus (ZEB) fleet by 2040 as required by the California Air Resources Board. Like many bus systems in the country, Pasadena Transit did not collect fares for most of the pandemic, further eroding the city's revenue for transit improvements.

Thank you for consideration of this request.

Sincerely,
t~RGER
