CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 4, 2025
SUBJECT: Authorization for Out of State Travel to Motorola Summit Public Safety Users' Conference in Grapevine, Texas
SOURCE: Police
COMMENT: The training summit is Motorola Solutions’ largest annual user conference for public safety professionals, who is the police department's current provider for Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management System (RMS). Each year, Motorola users take this opportunity to come together for extensive training and networking with industry peers and subject-matter experts.
The Motorola Summit is designed to help users maximize their investment and strengthen system knowledge across every agency role.
It also provides an excellent setting for meeting face-to-face with agency representatives from Customer Success, Technical Support, Product Management, Sales, and Training to discuss our agency’s individualized needs and experiences.
The Porterville Police Department's Crime Analyst and the Police Department will benefit from the experience and will be able to bring back new ideas and insight on how to maximize the investments the Police Department has made with Motorola Solutions, optimizing our technology solutions. The conference provides hundreds of in-depth training courses from Motorola Solutions’ experts, industry leaders, and other customers, and the Police Department Crime Analyst will be able to build a custom schedule depending on the department's priorities, such as those listed below:
● Courses related to our agency’s current technology deployments (in tracks such as System Admin & IT, CAD, Records, Field Reporting, GIS & Mapping, Jail, Emergency Call Management, Analytics & Investigations, Evidence, Response, Awareness, Vehicle & Image Intelligence, and Body Cameras & In-Car Video).
● Courses that offer insight from extensive leadership and industry trend sessions (Industry & Leadership, Cybersecurity, CJIS, Community). ● Courses that provide direction on our products’ new and future functionality (Innovation and New Functionality).
● Courses that help understand how the end-to-end Motorola software suite of products can help the police department work smarter and more Item No. 14.
efficiently (Connected Ecosystem).
● Hands-on labs that give direct training in the software, as well as access to register for a complete product certification at no additional cost.
Agencies from across the United States and North America attend the Summit annually, giving the perfect opportunity to network and create relationships with other public safety personnel. Strengthening these relationships gives much-needed insight into how they maximize their technology.
The conference will also provide the chance to speak one-on-one with Customer Success, Training, Technical Support, and Sales representatives from Motorola Solutions, and to provide any feedback, questions, or concerns that the police department has. Summit also provides the opportunity to participate in interactive feedback sessions and focus groups with Product Management to help shape the future direction of products.
The Police Department Crime Analyst is one of the Porterville Police Department’s System Application Administrators (SAA) for the Motorola Spillman Computer Automated Dispatch (CAD) as well as the Records Management System (RMS), as well as training all new police department employees in the aforementioned area's. The Police Department Crime Analyst was also recently voted in as President of the California Motorola Spillman Users Network (CalSUN) for 2025 calendar year. This position serves as the liaison between all California users and the Motorola team. This includes facilitating group meetings and events while at Summit. Unfortunately, no other training of this caliber is offered in/or near California.
Pursuant to City policy, staff out-of-state travel requires City Council approval. The police department is seeking approval to allow the Police Department's Crime Analyst to attend the Motorola Solutions Summit, which is scheduled to take place from May 12-15, 2025. The conference fee is $1,150 and will also require airfare, hotel accommodation, and per diem. The total estimated expense (including the conference fee) to attend the Summit is approximately $3,000 (all costs accounted for).
The funding for this training is available in the police department's training budget.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve out-of-state travel for the Police Department Crime Analyst to attend the Motorola
Solutions Summit/Training in Grapevine, Texas.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 4, 2025
SUBJECT: Amendments to the Library Rules of Conduct
SOURCE: Parks and Leisure Services
COMMENT: To ensure the library’s Rules of Conduct remain up to date and responsive to current needs, staff have proposed amendments following a periodic review and recent incidents inside and outside the library.
These updates aim to help staff and the Police Department maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all Porterville City residents. While most of the Rules of Conduct remain the same, the proposed amendments focus on three areas of improvement that reflect library trends and best practices.
The first amendment, listed as #3, clarifies policies regarding service animals. Additional guidelines at the end of the document provide legal and regulatory details to prevent the misrepresentation of service animals, ensuring proper enforcement.
A new addition, Rule #24, addresses space limitations within the library, particularly in the temporary location. Libraries have limited capacity to accommodate patrons, staff, materials, computers, tables, chairs, programming, and aisle space. This addendum to the enumeration of the rules restricts excessive personal property that is unnecessary for conducting library business. Also, potential safety issues stemming from alternate transportation devices are addressed.
Additionally, an appeals process has been added for individuals contesting enforcement actions taken by staff for Rules of Conduct violations. Any person who has been denied access to the library or whose library privileges have been restricted or suspended for a period in excess of one week has the right to have the decision reviewed by the City's designated review committee. The appeals process is included in the Rules of Conduct to allow offenders the opportunity to have their incidents reviewed. On February 11, 2025, the Library and Literacy Commission reviewed the initial draft of the Rules of Conduct. The attached updated draft Rules of Conduct has been reviewed and updated by the City Attorney to conform with legal requirements.
Item No. 15.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the amendments to the Library Rules of Conduct which are contingent upon final review from the City Attorney.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 4, 2025
SUBJECT: Approval of Reorganization within the Parks and Leisure Department - Parks Division
SOURCE: Parks and Leisure Services
COMMENT: At its meeting on February 4, 2025, the City Council approved the reclassification of Parks Maintenance Worker – Weed Abatement positions to align with the classification and salary range of Encampment Maintenance Workers. To provide clarity for employees, staff consolidated the job descriptions for Encampment Maintenance and Weed Abatement positions, resulting in the creation of the Abatement Worker job description for both full-time and part-time roles.
Per the Council’s direction, the salary range for the full-time Abatement Worker position will be Range 173 ($3,683–$4,494), while the part-time Abatement Worker position will have an hourly rate of $17.50. The City has consulted with the City Employees’ Association regarding this reclassification, and the association has agreed to the changes. Fulltime Abatement Workers lead the work of a small crew in abatement efforts and park maintenance duties. They also perform clean-up, transportation, and disposal of bio-hazardous, non-hazardous and green waste and other services as necessary to properly clean and clear the site. Part-time Abatement Workers remove and dispose of vegetation and debris, and raise trees and shrubbery. Examples of some of the equipment used by full and part-time Abatement Workers include operating a tractor, flail mower, backhoe, riding mower, rototiller, blower, edger, fork/air lift, chipper, and other equipment or vehicles.
This reclassification will require a reorganization of the Parks Division, which will now include three full-time and up to twelve part-time Abatement Workers. The Abatement Workers' role will be to clear areas that could pose fire hazards due to overgrown vegetation. This crew will also be responsible for encampment cleanups on City property, as well as those on private property that do not get cleaned up in a timely manner. The abatement crew will perform various other duties throughout the year when they are not performing weed abatement or encampment abatement, including tree maintenance, park facilities and grounds maintenance, and other special projects. The entire abatement team may be called upon during large encampment enforcement efforts that are made throughout the city, including along the Tule River and the Item No. 16.
Porter Slough. The Police Department, Fire Department, Public Works Department, and Parks and Leisure Services Department all play integral roles in these large-scale projects.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
1. Approve the reorganization within the Parks and Leisure Department - Parks Division;
2. Approve the new job descriptions for full-time
Abatement Workers and part-time Abatement Workers;
3. Authorize Human Resources and Finance Department
staff to amend such documents as may be necessary to
effectuate such proposed changes.

Item No. 19.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 4, 2025
SUBJECT: Status and Review of Declaration of Local Flood Emergency SOURCE: City Manager's Office
COMMENT: On March 13, 2023, Mayor Martha A. Flores in conjunction with the Acting City Manager Patrice Hildreth declared the existence of a local emergency within the City of Porterville. Said Declaration was made pursuant to Chapter 9 of the Porterville Municipal Code, and in response to the increasing threat to life and property in the city caused by a series of storm systems striking California and in particular the Porterville area, impacting Success Lake and significantly increasing flows of the Tule River. Pursuant to the California Emergency Services Act (California Government Code 8558 et seq.), emergency declarations must be ratified by the governing body within seven days of being declared. At its Special Meeting on March 17, 2023, the City Council acted to ratify the Declaration of Local Emergency. The Act also requires that the emergency declaration be renewed every sixty (60) days to remain in effect, which at its meeting on February 18, 2025, the Council reviewed and acted to renew the emergency declaration. Staff continues to work with FEMA for resolution of the City's claims and will continue to work to identify a timeline and critical path forward.
Chronology:
On March 10, 2023, due to the volume of water added to Success Lake from significant storm activity, Tulare County Sheriff Mike Bourdreaux issued an Evacuation Warning for both the north and south sides of the Tule River, and the Tulare County Office of Emergency Services (TCOES) established a Temporary Evacuation Point (TEP) and Emergency Shelter in the gymnasium at Porterville College.
On March 15, 2023, due to the water level of Success Lake rising to the point of running over the spillway of the Richard L. Schafer Dam, Sheriff Boudreaux issued a Mandatory Evacuation Order for the residences, businesses and structures between Schafer Dam and Road 284, east of the city of Porterville. On March 18, 2023, due to water levels dropping on the Tule River, Sheriff Boudreaux reduced the Mandatory Evacuation Order back to an Evacuation Warning.
On March 15, 2023, due to rising flood waters, Sheriff Boudreaux issued a Mandatory Evacuation Order for the area between Olive Avenue Item No. 19.
(Avenue 152) to Avenue 144 and the Friant-Kern Canal and the Tule River and Westwood Street, west of the city of Porterville. On March 25, 2023, Sheriff Boudreaux reduced the Mandatory Evacuation Order back to an Evacuation Warning.
On March 15, 2023, due to rising water levels of the Tule River, City Public Works Department staff took extraordinary measures to protect the neighborhood north of River Springs Drive, avoiding potentially catastrophic flooding of the area.
On March 16, 2023, due to the historic water levels and flows of the Tule River causing erosion to the river banks, Police Chief Jake Castellow issued a Mandatory Evacuation Order for eight residences along Rio Vista Avenue, providing information on the TEP and Emergency Shelter established at Porterville College. City Public Works Department staff took extraordinary measures over the next several days to mitigate and protect the river banks from affecting the residences. On March 24, 2023, Chief Castellow reduced the Mandatory Evacuation Order of the eight residences back to an Evacuation Warning.
On March 19, 2023, due to continued erosion of the banks of the Tule River and the performance of immediate necessary mitigation efforts by Public Works Department personnel, Chief Castellow issued a Mandatory Evacuation Order for both the north and south banks of the Tule River within City limits (not including permanent structures with a designated address), and provided information on the TEP and Emergency Shelter established at Porterville College. The Public Works Department continues to work diligently in shoring the banks of the Tule River.
To accommodate upcoming ceremonies and events in the gymnasium at Porterville College, the TEP and Emergency Shelter at the College closed at noon on April 11, 2023, and thirty (30) individuals were successfully transitioned to the new TEP at the Porterville Army National Guard Armory. A Special Meeting of the Council was scheduled for April 14, 2023, to consider a draft License agreement for the City's temporary use of the State facility. The American Red Cross continued to provide shelter services at the TEP, but transitioned out on May 5, 2023. With the authority granted to the City Attorney and City Manager at its meeting on April 18, 2023, the City and County drafted a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in an effort to continue TEP shelter services until May 5, 2023, while the Mandatory Evacuation Order remained in place along the banks of the Tule River in city limits.
On April 14, 2023, the County transmitted a letter to the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), requesting continued financial support for the Armory TEP, which the County reported that Cal OES did not approve. At its meeting on July 11, 2023, the County Board of Supervisors approved the MOU for TEP shelter services between the City and the County, retroactive from April 11, Item No. 19.
2023 to May 5, 2023.
Given the lack of continued financial support by Cal OES, the County notified the City that it would discontinue its support of the Armory TEP at noon on May 5, 2023, and American Red Cross would vacate the facility as well, leaving the City alone to determine the function of the Armory TEP after noon on May 5th. The significant threat of local emergency continued to exist with the estimated over three hundred percent (300%) of normal snow pack in the Sierra Nevada mountains and the potential for a warm storm or heat wave this Spring to again inundate the Tule River, described as a "loaded locomotive at the top of the hill." Given the forecasts of potential widespread flooding damage to west Tulare County and significant portions of Kings County later this Spring and early Summer, Red Cross representatives strongly believe they will be returning to the Armory TEP and other Tulare County locations (e.g. Porterville Developmental Center) to assist those displaced from homes due to flooding. Until such time that Cal OES makes the determination that emergency conditions again exist in Tulare County, the Council was left to determine if local emergency conditions existed to continue operating the Armory TEP, which expenditures would not be reimbursable given the lack of approval by Cal OES.
Given the continued mandatory evacuation order along the Tule River in city limits and the legal implications of the Martin v. Boise federal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision (2018), and the announced departure of the American Red Cross and County support at noon on May 5, 2023, City staff developed an operational plan for the Armory TEP, cognizant of the lack of federal and State reimbursement of costs. As of April 27, 2023, eighteen (18) individuals were receiving shelter services at the Armory TEP, with most individuals only at the facility in the evening.
Given the limited daytime TEP population, and daily meal services provided at the nearby Porterville Welcome Center, staff recommended to limit the Armory TEP hours from 7:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. daily, providing temporary staffing of two individuals (including a security guard). Temporary staffing had been quoted at $25 per hour, for a daily expense of $600 (or $18,000 per month). At its meeting on May 2, 2023, the Council authorized the continued operation of the Armory TEP for a 12-hour operational period over the evenings, and also directed that the Armory restrooms and shower facilities be used by the individuals at the TEP, which although not ADA-compliant, are not required for non-reimbursable shelter activities while under a Declaration of Local Emergency. The contract for the on-site mobile shower and portable restroom facilities that are ADA-compliant expired on May 11, 2023, which the rental cost was approximately $18,000 per month.
However, the City Attorney recommended maintaining a single ADAportable restroom at the facility. Beginning at noon on May 5, 2023, the City assumed administrative and financial responsibility for the Armory, which has established operational hours of 8:00 P.M. to 8:00 A.M. and averaged twenty (20) individuals each evening (please see attached Item No. 19.
daily census).
On May 4, 2023, the City received an updated draft License agreement for the use of the Armory, proposing a 1-year lease for exclusive use by the City effective May 5, 2023, through May 4, 2024. The draft agreement proposes no fee for the use of the facility, but that the City assume responsibility for the facility's utilities. On Monday, May 8th, the last remaining Army personnel left the facility, with the City now having complete exclusive use of the facility. At its meeting on May 16, 2023, the Council approved the updated draft License agreement for the 1- year exclusive use of the Armory.
On March 31, 2023, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-6-23 to support Tulare Lake Basin flood response, which streamlines State preparation, response and recovery actions and supports local flood response efforts and assist in preparing communities for the impacts of snowmelt runoff in the months ahead.
On April 3, 2023, President Biden granted a Major Disaster Declaration for the State of California, triggering the release of Federal funds to help individuals and communities recover from Severe Winter Storms, Straight-line Winds, Flooding, Landslides and Mudslides that occurred February 21, 2023, and continuing. Monterey and Tulare counties were designated in the Major Disaster Declaration for both Individual and Public Assistance, as well as Hazard Mitigation. On July 14, 2023, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) made the
determination to close the incident period effective July 10, 2023.
Although the incident period has been closed, businesses and individuals may still apply for federal disaster assistance through September 1, 2023.
On May 17, 2023, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-7-23 to support Tulare Lake Basin flood response, which extends flood diversion and groundwater recharge flexibilities implemented for the Tulare Lake Basin, including Kern River floodwater to be allowed into the California Aqueduct.
On August 4, 2023, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-10-23 to streamline levee repairs and debris removal to help local communities recover from flooding and prepare for the next wet season.
At its meeting on April 4, 2023, the Council approved Resolution No. 15- 2023, which authorized the appropriation of funds from the Catastrophic/Emergency Reserve Fund for the costs associated with the response to the local emergency including personnel, equipment, services and other necessary expenditures. At its meeting on April 18, 2023, the Council approved two emergency expenditures that exceeded $5,000 in their acquisition, which included additional Water Rescue Equipment for the Fire Department ($6,417.70) and the 30-day rental of two mobile shower/restroom units ($13,151) for the Armory TEP due to the facility's restrooms and showers not being compliant with the Item No. 19.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). At its meeting on May 2, 2023, the Council approved two additional emergency expenditures that exceeded $5,000 in their acquisition, which included a trailer-mounted 6" dewatering and sewage pump ($77,396.67), and local trucking services of riprap material ($5,436.00), both for the Public Works Department.
In support of two private personnel providing nightly security at the Armory as it continues to function as a temporary evacuation point and shelter, City staff has secured TopKnotch Security, Inc. as the security services provider. TopKnotch provided an agreement for security services for approximately $18,000 per month (2 personnel at $25/hour for 12 hours per day for 30 days per month), which the Council approved at its meeting on June 6, 2023. Due to violations by TopKnotch Security of its agreement with the City for security services, City staff terminated the agreement effective immediately on Friday, July 14, 2023, causing the Police Department to provide security services at the Armory on Friday, July 14 through Sunday, July 16, 2023. Beginning on Monday, July 17, 2023, Good Guard Security, Inc. began providing security services, which at its meeting on July 18, 2023, the Council approved an agreement for security services for approximately $21,000 per month (2 personnel at $28.95/hour for 12 hours per day for 30 days per month).
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council receive the report of status and review of the Declaration of Local Emergency and determine the need exists to continue said Declaration.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA
EXECUTIVE ORDER N-6-23
WHEREAS on March 1, 2023, March 8, 2023, March 12, 2023, March 14, 2023, and March 28, 2023, I proclaimed a State of Emergency to exist in 47 counties, cumulatively, as a result of a series of ongoing winter storms that initially struck California beginning in late February and continue to significantly impact the counties identified in my Proclamations; and WHEREAS the State has experienced over a dozen atmospheric rivers since December 2022, resulting in compounding and cumulative impacts across California, including what are expected to be record amounts of snow in the Sierra Nevada, in particular in the southern Sierra, and current and forecasted precipitation are expected to add to historic snowpack levels already composed of several million acre-feet of snow water content; and WHEREAS reservoirs into which the Sierra snowpack runoff would flow are already impacted by runoff, which is expected to greatly exceed available storage capacity in the reservoirs in and around the Tulare Lake Basin and the San Joaquin River Basin, and much of the ground in the area has reached saturation due to the series of ongoing winter storms; and WHEREAS the Tulare Lake Basin is the terminal point for the Kings, Kaweah, Tule, and Kern Rivers, and several smaller streams, meaning that water from additional expected rains and Sierra snowpack runoff that cannot be stored in reservoirs or absorbed into the ground will flow into the basin; and WHEREAS recent storms have already caused flooding in the Tulare Lake Basin, leading to emergency rescues and evacuation orders in Allensworth, Alpaugh, and other communities in Tulare and Kings Counties, and leading to dozens of levee breaks and local agencies directing strategic cuts to canals and levees to prevent further flooding of communities; and WHEREAS runoff from the snowpack caused by the winter storms could result in flood conditions in the Tulare Lake Basin resembling those last experienced in the historic floods of 1969 and 1983, following historic snowpacks in those years; and
WHEREAS local flood control districts and other local governments generally have flood control responsibility in the Tulare Lake Basin, but state agencies such as the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), the California Department of Water Resources, and the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services are actively engaged in supporting this local effort, and state agencies will continue to provide technical advice and other resources and support as needed, with a particular priority on protecting the lives and health of local communities; and
WHEREAS stretches of the San Joaquin River have been or are at flood stage this spring, river stages are expected to stay high throughout the spring as snowpack melts, and multiple levee repairs are underway on the lower San Joaquin River; and
WHEREAS the Tulare Lake Basin is hydrologically connected to the San Joaquin River Basin and that connection has the potential to exacerbate the flood risk in the San Joaquin River Basin, and so further emergency response efforts may become necessary in the San Joaquin River Basin as well; and WHEREAS heavy accumulation of snowfall on the roof of Bear Valley Elementary School, located in Alpine County, currently renders instructional space unsafe for use; and
WHEREAS frequent flooding and flood evacuation orders have resulted in school closures and low student attendance in Pajaro Middle School, Hall District Elementary School and Ohlone Elementary, located in Pajaro Valley Unified School District in Santa Cruz County; and
WHEREAS it is critical that displaced students are back in school facilities as quickly as possible to ensure continuity in education; and WHEREAS the State of California and local governments, in collaboration with the Federal government, continue sustained efforts to respond to and mitigate the effects of these storms; and
WHEREAS on March 9, 2023, I requested a Presidential Emergency Declaration related to these late winter storms, which was expeditiously approved by President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.; and
WHEREAS on March 15, 2023, I requested the addition of 9 counties to the existing Presidential Emergency Declaration related to these late winter storms, which was expeditiously approved by the President; and
WHEREAS on March 28, 2023, I also requested the President issue a Major Disaster Declaration related to these late winter storms for counties that met the validated damage threshold; and
WHEREAS under the provisions of Government Code section 8571, I find that strict compliance with various statutes and regulations specified in this order would prevent, hinder, or delay the mitigation of the effects of these ongoing winter storms.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor of the State of California, in accordance with the authority vested in me by the State Constitution and statutes, and in particular, Government Code sections 8567, 8571, and 8627, do hereby issue the following Order to become effective immediately:
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1. All provisions contained in the above-referenced Proclamations of a State of Emergency shall remain in full force and effect.
2. To protect health, safety, and the environment, and to reduce the risks of local catastrophic flooding in the Tulare Lake Basin, Chapter 6 (commencing with section 1600) of Division 2 of the Fish and Game Code, and regulations adopted pursuant to that Chapter, are suspended for activities that meet all of the requirements in Paragraph
3. 3. The suspension created by Paragraph 2 shall apply to floodwater diversion, debris removal, and levee repair and breech in the Tulare Lake Basin, on the condition that the actions cease when the flood conditions have abated to the point there is no longer flooding outside of defined streambeds and levees. Additionally, the suspension created by Paragraph 2 shall apply to floodwater diversion only if all of the following additional conditions are met:
a. The diversion of floodwater from the Tulare Lake Basin or rivers or streams flooding the Tulare Lake Basin must occur between March 31, 2023, and August 1, 2023, for flood management purposes.
b. For diversions directly from rivers or streams, a local or regional flood control agency, city, or county has given notice via its internet website, electronic distribution list, emergency notification service, or another means of public notice that flows downstream of the point of diversion are at imminent risk of flooding and inundation of land, roads, or structures.
c. For diversion of floodwaters in the Tulare Lake Basin (that is, waters no longer contained within a defined streambed or levee), a local or regional flood control agency, city, or county has given notice via its internet website, electronic distribution list, emergency notification service, or another means of public notice that areas from which the floodwaters are diverted are either at imminent risk of flooding or already flooded, with potential or existing inundation of land, roads, or structures. d. Any water diverted is not diverted to and will not be applied to any area that has not been in active irrigated agricultural cultivation within the past three years, including grazing lands, annual grasslands, and natural habitats. This limitation does not apply to facilities already constructed for the purposes of groundwater recharge or managed wetlands.
4. In addition to the mandatory conditions set forth in Paragraph 3, any person conducting planned levee breaches or controlled inundation to prevent further catastrophic flooding pursuant to the suspension created by Paragraph 2 should take care, wherever feasible, to protect above-ground infrastructure and drinking water and wastewater infrastructure such as drinking water well field sites, wastewater discharge ponds, and other water resources that are necessary for the protection of human health and the recovery of impacted communities.
5. For purposes of conducting emergency flood preparation and response activities, for any (a) actions taken by state agencies, (b) actions taken by a local agency where the Secretary of the Natural Resources Agency concurs that local action is required, and (c) permits necessary to carry out actions under (a) and (b), Public Resources Code, Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) and regulations adopted pursuant to that Division, are suspended to the extent necessary to address flood impacts in the Tulare Lake Basin.
6. To support adequate state staffing for all state agencies and departments with an assigned response and/or recovery role related to flooding in the Tulare Lake Basin, consistent with applicable federal law, work hour limitations for retired annuitants, permanent and intermittent personnel, and state management and senior supervisors are suspended. Furthermore, reinstatement and work hour limitations in Government Code sections 21220, 21224(a), and 7522.56(b), (d), (f), and (g), and the time limitations in Government Code section 19888.1 and California Code of Regulations, title 2, sections 300-303 are suspended. All other restrictions must be adhered to for retired annuitants. The Director of the California Department of Human Resources must be notified of any individual employed in state government pursuant to these suspensions. The suspension of statutes identified in this Paragraph shall also apply to local governments, as applicable, to ensure adequate staffing to appropriately respond to the flooding in the Tulare Lake Basin. Local governmental agencies shall notify the California Public Employees' Retirement System of any individual employed by an agency pursuant to this Paragraph.
7. The limitation for the period of employment for State Personnel Board emergency appointments, as provided in Government Code section 19888.1, is suspended for positions required for emergency response and/or recovery operations related to flooding in the Tulare Lake Basin.
The requirements and period of employment for such appointments will be determined by the Office of Emergency Services but shall not extend beyond the termination date of the State of Emergency.
8. To the extent the Alpine County Office of Education and Alpine County Unified School District are required to use temporary facilities such as the Alpine County Public Library due to extraordinary snowpack on the roof of Bear Valley Elementary School, rendering instructional space unsafe, the requirements of Education Code sections 17280, et seq., 17365, et seq., and Government Code sections 4453 and 14963 are suspended with respect to those temporary facilities. The requirements of the California Building Code (codified in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations), as adopted and enforced by the local building and fire agencies with jurisdiction over the area, shall apply to these temporary facilities.
9. To the extent the Alpine County Office of Education and Alpine County Unified School District are required to temporarily use buildings, as defined in the California Building Code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 2, Chapter 2, section 202), such as the Alpine County Public Library due to extraordinary snowpack on the roof of the Bear Valley Elementary School, rendering instructional space unsafe, local planning and zoning regulations shall be suspended to allow immediate occupancy of such buildings for use as public school facilities. In addition, the requirements of the California Building Code, as adopted and enforced by the local building and fire agencies with jurisdiction over the area, shall apply, except that the requirements relating to Change of Use or Occupancy Classification in the California Building Code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 2, Chapter 1, section 111) shall not trigger immediate code upgrades, and a Certificate of Occupancy shall not be withheld for such immediate and temporary use of the facilities as a public school, as long as such facilities met building code requirements at the time of their construction, are accessible to individuals with disabilities, and are judged safe for use by the local building official.
10.Education Code section 60641(a) requiring that all pupils be administered academic assessments in mathematics, English language arts, and science, as provided for in Education Code section 60640, is suspended for the 2022-2023 school year for Pajaro Middle School, Hall District Elementary School and Ohlone Elementary School of the Pajaro Valley Unified School District, if a federal waiver is approved by the United States Department of Education.
I FURTHER DIRECT that as soon as hereafter possible, this Order be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State and that widespread publicity and notice be given of this Order.
This Order is not intended to, and does not, create any rights or benefits, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, against the State of California, its agencies, departments, entities, officers, employees, or any other person.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the Great Seal of the State of
California to be affixed this 31st day

WHEREAS due to the complexity of the impacts from over a dozen Atmospheric River events since December 2022, including the accumulation of a record snowpack in the Sierra Nevada that is likely to yield record snowmelt runoff, especially in the Tulare Lake Basin, I previously issued Executive Orders identified herein to respond to and recover from the winter storms, and those orders now require updating in-light of the most recent runoff conditions and the State’s more robust and recent modeling of likely flood impacts; and WHEREAS the Tulare Lake Basin includes portions of Fresno, Kings, Tulare, and Kern counties and is the terminal point for the Kaweah, Tule, and Kern Rivers as well as a portion of the Kings River and several smaller streams, meaning that water from Sierra snowpack runoff that cannot be stored in reservoirs or absorbed into the ground will flow into the basin; and
WHEREAS the Tulare Lake Basin is hydrologically connected to the San Joaquin River Basin via the James Bypass and Fresno Slough and that connection has the potential to exacerbate the flood risk in the San Joaquin River Basin, and so further emergency response efforts may become necessary in the San Joaquin River Basin; and
WHEREAS stretches of the San Joaquin River, Chowchilla and Eastside Bypasses, San Joaquin River mainstem and tributaries (Fresno River, Chowchilla River, Merced River, Stanislaus River, and Tuolumne River, hereafter, San Joaquin River Tributaries), and Fresno Slough/James Bypass have been or are at flood stage this spring, river stages are expected to stay high or increase throughout the spring and summer as snowpack melts, and multiple levee repairs are underway on the lower San Joaquin River; and
WHEREAS the Kern River – California Aqueduct Intertie exists to move floodwaters safely from the Kern River into the California Aqueduct, and the Kern River Watermaster on May 10, 2023, requested the use of the Intertie to prevent Kern River floodwater from exacerbating flooding in the Tulare Lake Basin, and state agencies have begun actions to safely enable the diversion of these flood flows; and
WHEREAS under the provisions of Government Code section 8571, I find that strict compliance with various statutes and regulations specified in this Order would prevent, hinder, or delay the mitigation of the effects of these ongoing winter storms.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor of the State of California, in accordance with the authority vested in me by the State Constitution and statutes, and in particular, Government Code sections 8567, 8571, and 8627, do hereby issue the following Order to become effective immediately:

Mather, CA 95655
Dear Director Ward,
Tulare County appreciates the Office of Emergency Services’ tireless work to support the response to and recovery from DR-4699 in our County and the surrounding region.
Specifically, your negotiation of an ongoing incident period and the expeditious approval of individual assistance programs have been particularly valuable to the affected communities as we continue to recover from storm damages, repair distressed and weakened waterways, and prepare for the impending historic snowmelt runoff.
As current snow moisture content in local watersheds is estimated at over 300% of the historical average, total inflows to local reservoirs through April and July are expected to exceed three times the reservoir capacity. Local reservoir and waterway operators continue to aggressively release water at or near full capacity to make space for the anticipated inflows and prevent a return to spillway flows, while balancing needs of downstream operators to conduct emergency repairs. As a result, a number of homes, agricultural properties, and public spaces remain inundated with floodwater, and more homes may be affected because of the new snowmelt conditions. Specifically, we anticipate similar or worse conditions as a result of the snowmelt.
Tulare County is concerned that current sheltering for individuals affected by inundation and/or evacuation orders, including previously displaced individuals who remain under an evacuation order, may be limited in duration, especially during the current intervening period between storm and snowmelt-induced flooding incidents within the disaster.
Tulare County has entered into an agreement with the City of Porterville to maintain the last remaining emergency evacuation shelter site in the County. The California Department of Social Services and Volunteer Emergency Services Team have pledged support to provide staff and services for only two weeks at this shelter. Forty Tulare County residents who have been displaced due to flood activities are staying at this site. Because the support from CDSS and VEST is limited, the County is concerned that it may not be able to continually fund and staff the ongoing shelter projects. Our concern is the ongoing financial and logistical burden to the County and the incorporated cities therein.
As we are sure that you are aware, emergency protective measures, flood control activities, and damage assessments are being conducted because of the flood conditions in Tulare County. These efforts go hand-in-hand with ensuring that County residents are safe, Office of Emergency Services

fed, and warm. The State’s cooperation in keeping funding and support from the Department of Social Services and VEST beyond the initial two weeks available for emergency sheltering of Tulare County Residents is vital. Your support in ensuring ongoing funding and logistical support for these critical emergency protective measures is greatly appreciated.

This SECURITY SERVICES AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into upon mutual execution hereof by and between GOOD GUARD SECURITY, a California corporation, Private Patrol Operator (PPO) License #120362 (hereinafter, “Company”) and City of Porterville (hereinafter, “Client”), with respect to the following:
1. RATES: Service Rates are subject to adjustment for any change in any law, causing a change in work hours, wage rates, working conditions or other costs to Company.
2. PAYMENT: Invoices will be submitted either bi-weekly or monthly, upon mutual agreement between Company and Client, and are payable on receipt at the address on the invoice. A late charge of 1 ½ % per month will be added to balances not paid within seven days.
3. EMPLOYEES: (a) Personnel supplied by Company are its employees and not Client’s. Company is solely responsible for social security, unemployment and similar taxes applicable to its employees.
(b) Company is a Federal Government Contractor and complies with Executive Order 11246, as amended: Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended: Section 402 of Vietnam era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 and related regulations. Company’s employees will be assigned without regard to race, color, creed, sex, and national origin, handicap conditions that do not impair job performance or veteran status. (c) Client may reasonably remove any employee assigned provided such removal is not in violation of law. In the event any employee is removed at Client’s request, Client agrees to indemnify and hold Company harmless from any claims, demands, liabilities, judgments, losses, suits, damages, fines, penalties, and expenses including reasonable attorney’s fees and defense costs (hereinafter collectively “Claim(s)”) that may arise there from.
4. OVERTIME: Overtime rates shall apply to work on New Year’s Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas; work on any additional holidays listed and any extra hours exceeding 8-hours a day or 40-hours per week. Coverage for labor disputes, civil disorders or natural disaster, or special assignment or agreement is not included except as described in the Service Rate Classification. Additional overtime rates shall not apply to situations where an employee of Company already on-duty covers hours for a “called-off” employee and thus works over 8-hours in his/her shift.
5. PROPERTY/EQUIPMENT: All property and equipment furnished by Company for performance of its services under this Agreement, regardless of whether portable or stationary, shall be considered the personal property of Company, and shall remain the personal property of Company after termination of this Agreement. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall have reasonable access and time to remove its property from Client’s property. Client shall not be responsible for any of Company’s personal property which is stolen, damaged or missing from the property in the absence of Company’s supervision.

divert, poach, or encourage any of the Company staff, employees, or personnel to stop working with Company, or to solicit, divert, poach, encourage, or facilitate them to work with Client, any affiliate of Client, or any related person or entity of Client. Client recognizes that Company has a significant investment in the recruitment and training of it employees and guards to be providing services under this Agreement, and that these personnel are a valuable asset to Company. As it is impractical and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages which may result from the loss of such employees and guards, Client agrees that if Client (or its affiliates, agents, and other related persons or entities) is in breach of this section of the Agreement, then Client shall be required to pay to Company for each such employee (or former employee employed by Company) the sum of $7,500.00. Such fee is expressly agreed to be considered liquidated damages, and not a penalty.
8. LIABILITY AND INDEMNITIES: (a) Client agrees that Company is not an insurer and that the amounts payable hereunder are based upon the value of service offered and not the value of Client’s interests being protected or the property of Client or others located on Client’s premises. Accordingly, Company undertakes no liability to Client and makes no representation, express or implied, that its service will prevent occurrences or their consequences, which result in loss or damage. (b) Client agrees that Company shall not be liable for any claims incurred or asserted by Client, irrespective of origin, to persons or property, whether directly or indirectly caused by performance or nonperformance of obligations imposed by this agreement or by negligent acts or omissions, including those relating to the hiring, training, supervision or retention of personnel, of Company, its agents or employees. (c) The services provided under this Agreement are solely for the benefit of Client and neither this Agreement nor any services rendered hereunder confer any rights on any other party as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise and Client agrees to indemnify and hold Company harmless from and against any claims made by a third party(s), including, but not limited to, injury, death or damage or loss of property, arising from the negligent acts or omissions, including those relating to the hiring, training, supervision or retention of personnel, of Company, its agents or employees. (d) If, at Client’s request, Company employees undertake duties or are requested to use equipment or vehicles other than as agreed to in writing by Company, Client shall be solely responsible for and shall indemnify and hold Company harmless from and against any claims arising there from, including, but not limited to, claims arising from the negligent acts or omissions including those relating to the hiring, training, supervision or retention of personnel, of Company, its agents or employees. (e) Client hereby waives any and all rights of subrogation that any insurer of Client may have against Company. (f) Where Company is entitled to indemnification, Company shall have the right to tender defense of the claim to Client.
9. FORCE MAJEURE: The obligations of Company hereunder may be suspended during any period where performance is prevented by acts of God, civil or labor disturbances, or events beyond Company’s reasonable economic control.
10. HAZARDOUS OR DEFECTIVE CONDITIONS/MATERIALS: (a) Client agrees that it will comply with OSHA Hazard Communication Standards and will indemnify and hold Company harmless from all claims, including injuries to Company’s employees arising out of a condition existing at Client’s premises or Client’s violation of any safety or health related law or regulation. (b) Client further agrees to: (1) make available to Company the Material Safety Data Sheet for each hazardous chemical to which Company’s employees may be exposed at Client’s premises; (2) inform company of (A) precautionary measures that need to be taken to protect Company’s employees and (B) Client’s hazardous material labeling system.
11. INSURANCE: Client agrees to assume all risk of loss or damage to its premises, business and property of others on Client’s premises occurring as a result of fire, theft or other casualty and Client agrees that it will maintain insurance to fully protect Client against such loss or damage. Accordingly, Client waives its right of recovery against Company of any such loss or damage, however caused.
12. TERMINATION OF SERVICES: Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated for non-performance by either party, provided that such party has given the others reasonable time to correct any instances of such non- performance. If either party fails to correct such non-performance, the Agreement may be terminated, provided that such party has given the others at least thirty (30) days advance written notice of such intention. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for all other intentions, termination of services by Client must be preceded by at least thirty (30) days advance written notice of such intention to terminate services. Minimum 3-Month Service Agreement from start date.
13. ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND INTERPRETATION: This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties, and no representations, inducements, promises or agreements not embodied herein shall be of any force or effect. This Agreement shall be governed under the law of the State of its performance and if any provision shall conflict therewith, such provision shall be interpreted to remove such conflict, so that this Agreement and all its other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
14. DEFAULT: Company may terminate this Agreement immediately and exercise such other rights and remedies as permitted by law, if Client fails to pay any amount when due or if any proceeding is commenced or threatened by or against Client under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor’s law, or if Client makes or threatens to make an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties by their duly authorized representatives have signed this Agreement as of the date first above written:

GOVERNMENT CODE
Section 8558
8558. Three conditions or degrees of emergency are established by this chapter:
(a) “State of war emergency” means the condition that exists immediately, with or without a proclamation thereof by the Governor, whenever this state or nation is attacked by an enemy of the United States, or upon receipt by the state of a warning from the federal government indicating that an enemy attack is probable or imminent. (b) “State of emergency” means the duly proclaimed existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the state caused by conditions such as air pollution, fire, flood, storm, epidemic, riot, drought, cyberterrorism, sudden and severe energy shortage, electromagnetic pulse attack, plant or animal infestation or disease, the Governor’s warning of an earthquake or volcanic prediction, or an earthquake, or other conditions, other than conditions resulting from a labor controversy or conditions causing a “state of war emergency,” which, by reason of their magnitude, are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of any single county, city and county, or city and require the combined forces of a mutual aid region or regions to combat, or with respect to regulated energy utilities, a sudden and severe energy shortage requires extraordinary measures beyond the authority vested in the Public Utilities Commission.
(c) (1) “Local emergency” means the duly proclaimed existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the territorial limits of a county, city and county, or city, caused by conditions such as air pollution, fire, flood, storm, epidemic, riot, drought, cyberterrorism, sudden and severe energy shortage, deenergization event, electromagnetic pulse attack, plant or animal infestation or disease, the Governor’s warning of an earthquake or volcanic prediction, or an earthquake, or other conditions, other than conditions resulting from a labor controversy, which are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of that political subdivision and require the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat, or with respect to regulated energy utilities, a sudden and severe energy shortage or deenergization event that requires extraordinary measures beyond the authority vested in the Public Utilities Commission. (2) A local emergency proclaimed as the result of a deenergization event does not trigger the electric utility obligations set forth in Public Utilities Commission Decision 19-07-015 or its successor decisions as related to deenergization events. A local emergency proclaimed as the result of a deenergization event does not alter the electric utilities’ Public Utilities Commission-approved cost-recovery mechanisms for their own costs associated with deenergization events.

Item No. 20.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 4, 2025
SUBJECT: Police Use of Military Equipment Annual Review (AB 481) SOURCE: Police
COMMENT: On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed a series of police reform bills, including Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481), which states that the public has a right to know and participate in the decision-making processes related to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment by State or local government officials in an effort to increase transparency, accountability, and oversight. AB 481 called for local agencies to give strong consideration to the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, civil liberties, and public input. At its meeting on April 16, 2024, as part of a Public Hearing, the City Council approved the items deemed to be military pursuant to AB 481. It should be noted that none of the items in the inventory of the Porterville Police Department (PPD) are from the United States Military (please see the attached Agenda Staff Report from the City Council Meeting of May 17, 2022, as Attachment 3). The legislation required that local law enforcement agencies that seek to continue the use of military equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2022, accomplish the following which have been completed:
1. Draft a military equipment funding, acquisition, and use policy that describes each piece of military equipment and the authorized uses for each piece of equipment (Attachment 1);
2. Seek approval of the policy from their governing body by ordinance for the continued use of existing military equipment before acquiring new military equipment or seeking funds for equipment purposes; and
3. Make publicly available any proposed or final military equipment use policy, for as long as the military equipment is available for use, on the agency’s website.
In addition to the above requirements, AB 481 also requires, at least annually, that the law enforcement agency shall:
1. Prepare an annual military equipment report with at least one “wellpublicized and conveniently located community-engagement meeting” to allow for public discussion of the report; and
Item No. 20.
2. Present the policy for review, renewal, and approval at a Regular Meeting of the governing body. During this review, the governing body shall consider the Annual Report and determine whether each type of military equipment has complied with specified standards for approval.
The Porterville Police Department’s 2024 AB 481, Military Equipment Annual Report (Attachment 2) is being presented to meet the annual requirement.
AB 481 defines “military equipment” as follows and differentiates the equipment by category:
• Category 1: Unmanned, remotely piloted, powered aerial or ground vehicles.
• Category 2: Mine-resistant, ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicles or armored personnel carriers. However, police versions of standard consumer vehicles are specifically excluded from this subdivision. • Category 3: High-mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWV), commonly referred to as Humvees, two-and-one-half-ton trucks, five-ton trucks, or wheeled vehicles that have a breaching or entry apparatus attached. However, unarmored all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and motorized dirt bikes are specifically excluded from this subdivision.
• Category 4: Tracked armored vehicles that provide ballistic protection to their occupants and utilize a tracked system instead of wheels for forward motion.
• Category 5: Command and control vehicles that are either built or modified to facilitate the operational control and direction of public safety units.
• Category 6: Weaponized aircraft, vessels, or vehicles of any kind. • Category 7: Battering rams, slugs, and breaching apparatuses that are explosive in nature. However, items designed to remove a lock, such as bolt cutters or a handheld ram designed to be operated by one person, are specifically excluded from this subdivision. • Category 8: Firearms of .50-caliber or greater. However, standardissue shotguns are specifically excluded from this subdivision. • Category 9: Ammunition of .50-caliber or greater. However, standard-issue shotgun ammunition is specifically excluded from this subdivision.
• Category 10: Specialized firearms and ammunition of less than .50- Item No. 20.
caliber, including assault weapons as defined in Sections 30510 and 30515 of the Penal Code, with the exception of standard-issue service weapons and ammunition of less than .50-caliber that are issued to officers, agents, or employees of a law enforcement agency or a State agency.
• Category 11: Any firearm or firearm accessory that is designed to launch explosive projectiles.
• Category 12: “Flashbang” grenades and explosive breaching tools, “tear gas,” and “pepper balls,” excluding standard, service-issued handheld pepper spray.
• Category 13: Taser Shockwave, microwave weapons, water cannons, and the Long-Range Acoustic Device (LRAD).
• Category 14: The following projectile launch platforms and their associated munitions: 40 millimeter projectile launchers, “bean bag,” rubber bullet, and specialty impact munition (SIM) weapons. • Category 15: Any other equipment as determined by a governing body or a state agency to require additional oversight.
AB 481 does not prohibit law enforcement from obtaining and using the above equipment; rather, it creates a public process for obtaining approval of these types of equipment and their authorized uses. The Porterville Police Department (PPD) possesses equipment in eight of the fifteen categories listed. See Attachment 2 for full descriptions.
Current PPD Equipment Meeting Military Equipment Designation:
The Department continues to carefully assess what equipment is needed to protect the public and officers when resolving critical incidents, such as active shooter response, apprehending violent offenders, hostage rescue, and barricaded subjects, among others.
Certain equipment is also beneficial in providing information and creating cover, distance, and time that help to improve the decisionmaking process during critical incidents. This allows responding officers to take in and evaluate the totality of the circumstances, which results in increased safety and reduced risk for everyone involved.
In general, most of the equipment listed in the report is highly specific in its use and is not carried day to day. Items below may be used a few times a year, and their deployment requires departmental notifications.
More information about the frequency of use for various types of equipment is provided in Attachment 2.
Many of the items designated by AB 481 as military equipment have been in PPD’s equipment inventory for years. The Department's Item No. 20.
operating procedures and training program instruct staff in the proper use of this equipment.
Current Policies and Procedures for Equipment Purchase and Use:
PPD adheres to the City’s budget process and its purchasing policies and procedures when procuring its equipment.
The use of equipment is governed by PPD Policy No. 300, Use of Force and De-escalation Policy, Policy No. 303, Control Devices and Techniques, and PPD Policy 704 Military Equipment. In addition, the State of California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) establishes operational guidelines and training
recommendations for certain equipment and tactics, and compliance with these guidelines is managed by the department’s designated subject matter experts.
All PPD policies and procedures that govern safe handling, storage, and qualifications related to specified equipment remain in effect. This includes, but is not limited to, California Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA) certification of energetic breaching operators; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) oversight of energetic breaching materials; and ATF oversight of Noise-Flash Diversionary Devices.
FISCAL IMPACT
The acquisition of new or replacement equipment or items meeting the reporting requirements of AB 481 is funded from the Department budget in accordance with the AB 481 Policy (Attachment 1) and the approval of the City Council. The AB 481 Military Equipment Annual Report (Attachment 2) has no direct fiscal impact.
AB 481 requires the law enforcement agency to prepare an annual military equipment report to include each use of military equipment, any complaints received, and any internal audits or other information about policy violations. Further, AB 481 requires the report to be posted for public discussion and presented to the City Council for review, renewal, and approval annually.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council, per the requirements of Assembly Bill 481:
1. Allow public comment and questions concerning the
annual report and the funding, acquisition, and use of the equipment;
2. Review and renew PPD Policy 704 – Military Equipment (Attachment 1);
3. Review the AB 481 Military Equipment Annual Report
Item No. 20.
2024 (Attachment 2); and
4. By opting not to modify or rescind, affirm Ordinance No. 1892.

a. Description, quantity, capabilities, and purchase cost:
Chemical agent munitions, which are commonly referred to as “tear gas,” are used by the Porterville Police Department as a non-lethal tool on barricaded suspects. The Porterville Police Department uses chemical agents that are used by law enforcement acrossthe United States: CS (2-Chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile) and OC (Oleoresin Capsicum). CS is an irritating agent and lachrymator (irritates the eyes and causes tears to flow). CS has been medically tested in the UK and US, specifically by the U.S. Army. There are no known allergic reactions to CS. OC was de-regulated in California in 1996, is endorsed by the FBI, and is available to civilians to legally possess (2.5oz or less). OC is an inflammatory agent that causes involuntary closure of eyes and respiratory inflammation.
1. The CM Spede-Heat CS Grenade is a high volume, continuous burn [device;] it expels its payload in approximately 20-40 seconds. The payload is discharged through four gas ports on top of the canister, three on the side and one on the bottom. This launchable grenade is 6.12 in. by 2.62 in. and holds approximately 2.9 oz. of active agent.
Quantity: 8
2. The design of the Tri-Chamber Flameless CS Grenade allows the contents to burn within an internal can and disperse the agent safely with reduced risk of fire. The grenade is designed primarily for indoor tactical situations to detect and/or dislodge a barricaded subject. This grenade will deliver approximately .70 oz. of agent during its 20-25 seconds burn time. The Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade can be used in crowd control as well as tactical deployment situations by Law Enforcement and Corrections but was designed with the barricade situation in mind. Its applications in tactical situations are primarily to detect and/or dislodge barricaded subjects. The purpose of the Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade is to minimize the risks to all parties through pain compliance, temporary discomfort, and/or incapacitation of potentially violent or dangerous subjects. The Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade provides the option of delivering a pyrotechnic chemical device indoors, maximizing the chemicals’ effectiveness via heat and vaporization, while minimizing or negating the chance of fire to the structure.
Quantity: 4
3. The Triple-Chaser® CS consists of three separate canisters pressed together with separating charges between each. When deployed, the canisters separate and land approximately 20 feet apart allowing increased area coverage in a short period of time. This grenade can be hand-thrown or launched from a fired delivery system.
The grenade is 6.5 in. by 2.7 in. and holds approximately 3.2 oz. of active agent payload. It has an approximate burn time of 20-30 seconds.
Quantity: 7

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 4, 2025
SUBJECT: Updated Concepts for Transit Brand Refresh
SOURCE: Public Works
COMMENT: At its meeting on February 4, 2025, the City Council provided direction to update the transit branding concepts to incorporate a bold Americana theme prominently featuring the City’s motto, "In God We Trust." This initiative follows the Council’s initial consideration on January 21, 2025, regarding a refresh of the transit vehicle branding to modernize the fleet’s appearance while aligning with the City’s heritage and values.
The City’s Transit Division currently operates a fleet of 16 transit buses, 14 shuttle vans, and 8 minivans. Branding updates present an opportunity to enhance public perception of transit services, improve consistency across the fleet, and strengthen civic identity through a design that reflects the community’s character.
In response to the Council’s direction, staff worked with Transit Media, Inc. to develop new conceptual designs that incorporate the following elements:
• A bold Americana theme featuring patriotic red, white, and blue color schemes.
• A modernized representation of the American flag, integrated across all transit vehicle types.
• A prominent display of the City’s motto, "In God We Trust," positioned for high visibility.
• Enhanced design elements ensuring clarity, durability, and aesthetic appeal across various vehicle sizes.
These updated concepts, provided as attachments to this report, align with the City’s commitment to reinforcing civic pride while maintaining a contemporary and professional appearance for the transit fleet.
At the Council's direction, the updated quote focuses on 11 vehicles, reducing the total estimated cost from $285,116.64 to $90,139.28.
Funding for the project will be sourced through the Transit Division’s operating budget, with financial support from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), covering up to 50% of the cost, and Local Item No. 21.
Transportation Funds (LTF) covering the remaining 50% as the local match. The City will ensure compliance with all funding stipulations, including Buy America requirements.
The implementation timeline for the updated transit branding is estimated at 38 days, targeting completion by the end of April 2025. The timeline includes the production, application, and quality assurance process to ensure all vehicles are wrapped efficiently while maintaining operational availability.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
1. Select one of the conceptual designs; and
2. Adjust specific design elements and direct staff to
incorporate requested modifications prior to finalization; and
3. Direct staff to proceed with implementation and obtain quotes from available firms qualified to perform the project through a competitive procurement process.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – FEBRUARY 4, 2025
SUBJECT: Consideration to Rebrand Transit Vehicles
SOURCE: Public Works
COMMENT: At its meeting on January 21, 2025, the City Council approved Vice Mayor McKervey’s request for an item to be added to the February 4, 2025, agenda to explore options for rebranding the City’s transit vehicles. The current transit vehicle branding has been in place since 2019. The request aims to modernize the fleet's appearance while aligning with the City’s heritage by incorporating an American Flag theme and the City’s motto "In God We Trust."
The Transit Division currently operates a fleet consisting of 16 transit buses, 14 shuttle vans, and 8 minivans. Over the last 17 years, the branding of the fleet has changed multiple times:
• 2007-2010: Green and White wave design
• 2013: Orange and Green wave design
• 2019-2020: transPORT branding for battery-electric vans and minivans
• 2021: American Flag design on three battery-electric buses The attached Existing Transit Vehicle Branding document provides a visual reference for those different branding iterations.
Rebranding the transit vehicles presents an opportunity to: 1) enhance public perception of the City's transit services, 2) improve brand consistency across all vehicles, 3) increase public awareness of transit availability and reliability, and 4) promote civic identity through design elements that reflect the City's culture and vision.
To assist in exploring design options, staff worked with Transit Media, Inc. to develop the attached conceptual designs, estimate, and timeline based on the American Flag theme and the City's motto "In God We Trust." The estimated timeline for completion is 130 days, targeting completion by the end of June 2025. The total estimated cost for rebranding is $285,116.64.
The cost to rebrand each vehicle type varies depending on existing Item No. 21.
branding and paintwork. Below is a breakdown of estimated costs:
Vehicle Type Number of Vehicles Cost per Vehicle Total Cost Mini Vans 8 $2,651.84 $21,214.71
Shuttle Vans (GP) 3 $3,786.64 $11,359.92
Shuttle Vans (Ford) 12 $5,825.60 $69,907.20
Transit Buses (2007)* 4 $14,014.00 $56,056.00
Transit Buses (2010)* 5 $14,014.00 $70,070.00
Transit Buses (2013-
2015)*
4 $14,014.00 $56,056.00
Transit Buses (2022) 3 $150.94 $452.81
Total Estimated Cost $285,116.64
If the Council chooses not to wrap the 11 vehicles scheduled for replacement (9 transit buses and 2 shuttle vans), the total project cost could be reduced by $131,429.68.
Funding for the rebranding initiative can be sourced from the Transit Division's operating budget, with financial assistance provided by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) covering up to 50% of the cost.
The remaining 50% would be covered by Local Transportation Funds (LTF) as the local match.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council provide direction regarding the rebranding of the City's transit vehicles, including modifying the design approach or branding elements and the number of vehicles based on Council preferences.
