PUBLIC COMMENT
Law and Order - Gregory Brittain said law and order was the foundational pillar of society, and yet it was being chipped away in California, because even when a crime was committed, there were no consequences, no enforcement.
Safer Train Crossings - Phil Courtney witnessed a near miss between a train and a vehicle at the rail crossing on Alabama Street. He urged the City to improve the conditions so that everyone can be kept safe.
Fourteenth Amendment - Jeff Mays requested the Council support the move to withhold Congressman Jay Obernolte from putting his name on the ballot in 2024, due to his participation surrounding the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Christmas Parade Concerns - Joshua Hall voiced concerns about a drag queen entrant at the Kiwanis Christmas Parade, and he said children should not be exposed to what he thought was adult entertainment.
Metrolink Crossings at Tennessee Street - Fernando Ramirez drew the Council's attention to the various malfunctions and issues he has personally witnessed at the Tennessee Street rail crossing. He said the signs and symbols are confusing to drivers, and he urged the City to push for an independent body to evaluate the crossings.
Step Up in Redlands Housing - Rogelio Saldana claimed the violence towards him as a resident of Step Up in Redlands has only increased since he last spoke before the Council, and he said the property manager and the police department have ignored his complaints.

COMMUNICATIONS
Downtown Redlands Parking Study
Development Services Director Desatnik provided background for the Downtown Redlands Parking Study and introduced Steffen Turoff, Principal with Walker Consultants Inc. who summarized the Parking Report. He explained the various sections of work performed, which included the purpose of the study, the scope of work completed, identification of parking challenges, key parking findings, and parking utilization studies of the downtown core. Mr. Turoff presented six key recommendations: 1) Increase access to underutilized off-street facilities, 2) Manage Parking in prime areas to ensure availability 3) Establish a parking benefit district 4) Improve the downtown pedestrian environment 5) Encourage the use of sustainable transportation 6) Increase the supply of publicly available parking.
He also reviewed the Traffic and Parking Commission recommendations which included:
a) Increase parking enforcement in timed zones, b) Pursue shared-use agreements with privately owned lots, c) Encourage use of existing parking facilities through safety improvements, and d) Study restriping of Citrus Avenue. The Commission did not support a paid parking pilot program, establishing a parking benefit district, or a feasibility study for a new parking structure on the existing city hall site.
As public comment, Brian Seghers said that business owners should lead by example and educate their customers and staff about parking, while the City must plan for the future because once construction begins at the mall, those parking spaces will be lost to the public. Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, Evan Sanford, voiced concerns about the Walker study, and he insisted the Council must take action now and stop having this same conversation over and over without making any progress. Bobby Garrity said he had just come from the Redlands Forum event where UCLA planning professor Donald Shoup CC_SA_December 5, 2023
Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 13 of 1429
spoke about parking policies and how properly priced parking can make cities more efficient and socially just, and his number one recommendation was to eliminate minimum off-street parking mandates from the code. Gregory Brittain complained the government should not mandate what modes of transportation people use by pushing everyone to ride a bike when it seemed clear to him that people preferred to use their own vehicles because he said cars were more practical for most people. Dan Jimenez encouraged the Council to think long-term, grow smart, and continue to support a feasibility study for a future parking structure.
A lengthy Council Member discussion focused on several topics including paid parking, increasing enforcement, and the possibility of a feasibility study to build a parking structure. Council Member Saucedo pushed his colleagues to consider establishing short-term, mid-term and long-term goals as the most effective way to tackle the issue. He recommended that a successful parking program must include education, enforcement, safety enhancements, shared parking agreements and possibly a mixed-use development with a parking structure at the current City Hall site. The Council thanked staff and the Traffic and Parking Commissioners for their diligence and commitment in serving the City. City Manager Duggan pointed out that due to budget constraints, there was not much that could be done within this fiscal year. He suggested that staff bring this item back for consideration to the meeting scheduled for January 16, 2024 and City Council unanimously agreed to continue the matter.
Mayor Pro Tem Barich called for a brief recess at 8:09 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 8:15 P.M.
Resolution No. 8537 Renaming Avice Meeker Sewall Theatre
Council Member Davis introduced Resolution No. 8537 to consider renaming the Avice Meeker Sewall Theatre stage in honor of Cliff Cabanilla and proposed the new name be "Cliff Cabanilla Stage". She offered some historical context, describing how Mr. Cabanilla began his teaching career at San Bernardino Valley College in the 1960s and then started the theatre program at Crafton Hills College where he ran the department for the next 30+ years. Cliff Cabanilla founded the Redlands Theatre Festival in 1972 as a summer theater program for Crafton Hills College. His vision was to bring a repertory theatre company to Redlands, to produce high-quality theatrical entertainment for the community that would delight, and sometimes challenge the audience, and to house it in a beautiful park setting.
Cliff Cabanilla saw an unused pasture in Prospect Park and turned it into a robust amphitheater. He was an innovative theatrical force, a screen and stage actor, scenic designer, theatre technician, director, and artistic producer with a career that spanned fifty years. As public comment, Candice Cabanilla Stewart, Paul Blatchley, Allan Griesemer, and Bruce Laycook expressed their gratitude to Council Members Davis and Saucedo for putting this agenda item forward to honor the vision, tenacity and leadership of Cliff Cabanilla.
On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman-Lowery, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council unanimously agreed, by roll call vote, to waive the requirement under Section 4.B. of Resolution No. 7711; approved the naming of the Avice Meeker Sewall Theatre stage to the "Cliff Cabanilla Stage"; and adopted Resolution No. 8537.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Resolution No. 8523 Statewide Community Infrastructure Program
Mayor Pro Tem Barich declared the meeting open as a public hearing and called on Management Services/Finance Director Garcia for a report regarding Resolution No. 8523 authorizing the City to join the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program (SCIP). In an effort to expand the economic development tools available to developers, property owners and businesses, the City's Development Services and Finance teams are proposing to participate in SCIP. SCIP provides a pooled, tax-exempt bond financing program for public infrastructure improvement costs (i.e., required off-site improvements) for commercial, industrial, retail and multi and single-family residential developments.
SCIP is administered by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA).
The resolution authorizes the SCIP to accept applications from property owners, conduct special assessment proceedings and levy assessments and special taxes and to form assessment districts and community facilities districts within the territory of Redlands. There is no fiscal impact to the City and the City's administrative costs to review the financing documents may be recovered by a charge to the CSCDA and would be reimbursed at bond issuance on an individual project basis.
As public comment, Richard O'Donnell raised several questions and thought the program was not in the best interests of the City. Gregory Brittain wondered about the value of this program and who it benefitted and was concerned the program took away local control and gave more control to the state. City Manager Duggan clarified the program will allow developers to access lower-cost loans through the state, but only if the City agrees to be a part of the program. Developers will be required to comply with all City rules and regulations and conditions of approval. Management Services/Finance Director Garcia added that each project would still need approval from the City Council. One written comment was received from Christine Roque, who posed several questions about how the program might impact existing single-family homeowners. With no further discussion, Mayor Pro Tem Barich closed the public hearing.
On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman-Lowery, seconded by Council Member Mario Saucedo, the City Council unanimously approved, by roll call vote, Resolution No. 8523 authorizing the City to become a participant of the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program (SCIP); authorizing the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) to accept applications from property owners within the City's jurisdiction; approving the Resolution of Intention to be adopted by CSCDA in connection with any assessment district formed within the City (Exhibit 'A' to the resolution); approving the Form of Acquisition Agreement for use when applicable (Exhibit 'B' to the resolution); and directing the City Clerk to transmit a certified copy of this resolution to the Secretary of CSCDA.

Resolution No. 8522 Fee and Service Charge Revenue/Cost Comparison System Mayor Pro Tem Barich declared the meeting open as a public hearing and called on Management Services/Finance Director Garcia, who summarized the purpose of the Cost Allocation Plan was to clearly outline the support provided to general fund and non-general fund operations from central service departments (i.e., payroll, human resources, building maintenance). This work was substantially completed during the summer of 2023, before the City's negotiations with its nine bargaining units were finalized. However, in June and July 2023, the Council approved a 7% across-the-board increase for its employees. The full costs of the fees outlined in the Fee Study have been updated. Staff recommended approval of Resolution No. 8522 which reflected the costs associated with the services being provided, the percentage of costs being recovered, as well as the recommended recovery levels.
As public comment, Gregory Brittain complained that the cost of living in the state of California was already much too high, and he said these conditions have forced thousands to leave the state. He opposed the City raising any charges and fees. One written comment was received from Larry Weston, who claimed an increase in fees would be bad for business as well as the community. Mayor Pro Tem Barich reminded everyone that the City must be in compliance with the law and provide for services at the actual cost to the City, no more, no less. With no further comment, Mayor Pro Tem Barich closed the public hearing.
On motion of Council Member Mario Saucedo, seconded by Council Member Jenna Guzman-Lowery, the City Council unanimously determined, by roll call vote, that the adoption of Resolution No. 8522 is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15273 of the State's Guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and adopted Resolution No. 8522, approving the Fee and Service Charge Revenue/Cost Comparison System, establishing the amounts of fees and charges levied In connection with the City’s provision of services and rescinding Resolution No. 8045.

Resolution No. 8527 Homeless Resource Services Agreements Homeless Coordinator David Rabindranath presented Resolution No. 8527 to approve ten Homeless Resource Services Agreements with Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) Grant totaling $3,498,975 with partners as identified in the grant proposal and award. The City has been awarded $4,529,069 in ERF funds to resolve the experience of unsheltered homelessness for people residing in encampments. Resolving these experiences of homelessness has the intent of addressing the safety and wellness of people within encampments, resolving critical encampment concerns, and transitioning individuals into interim shelter with clear pathways to permanent housing or directly into permanent housing, using data-informed, non-punitive, low-barrier, person-centered, Housing First, and coordinated approaches.
The Homeless Solutions Division will be leading the efforts to coordinate outreach teams, emergency shelter placements, rapid rehousing support, and employment services for individuals who meet the criteria of the grant funding. Local agencies, organizations, and businesses identified as partners to perform specific program tasks include: Chamber of Commerce, Family Service Association of Redlands, Goodwill of Southern California, Salvation Army, Step Up in Redlands, SB Express One LLC and Youth Hope Foundation.
Mr. Rabindranath was praised for his commitment and dedication to serving the homeless population with a positive attitude and compassion. Council Member Guzman-Lowery raised a number of questions concerning the implementation of the partnerships, including service locations, methods of transportation, and the criteria process for CC_SA_December 5, 2023

qualification. As public comment, Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, Evan Sanford, voiced their support of the City's efforts and was pleased the Chamber will be a part of the program and a catalyst for positive change. Brian Seghers offered several suggestions to make the program more successful, including motivating and educating our youth. Bruce Laycook was hopeful about the good work the program will do, and he encouraged the Council to work closely with Youth Hope. Dan Jimenez recommended the City push to find a local motel that would be closer to home for those in need instead of using resources in San Bernardino. Council Members were extremely pleased with the program and were grateful to all the various partners that will make this program a success.
On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman-Lowery, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council unanimously determined, by roll call vote, that adoption of Resolution No. 8527 approving the agreements for the Homeless Solutions Division is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301 of the State’s guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and adopted Resolution No. 8527 approving ten (10) Homeless Resource Services agreements totaling $3,498,975.00 with partners identified in the Encampment Resolution Funding Grant proposal awarded to provide shelter, rapid rehousing, housing, and employment services to the homeless population in Redlands.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve recommendation for reappointments to the Library Board of Trustees (Council Member Davis)
MOTION:
I move to reappoint Rosa Gomez and Martin Davis to each serve three-year terms on the Library Board of Trustees beginning January 1, 2024 and ending January 1, 2027.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended by Council Member Davis that the City Council consider these reappointments to the Library Board of Trustees. Pursuant to the Redlands Municipal Code, appointments are made by the Mayor and approved by the City Council. However, Mayor Tejeda has expressed his desire to rotate recommendations for commission/board appointments among the City Council Members; therefore, Council Member Davis has been delegated authority by Mayor Tejeda to make the recommendation for these reappointments.
DISCUSSION:
The terms of Library Trustees Rosa Gomez and Martin Davis will expire on January 1, 2024. Trustees Gomez and Davis have each expressed an interest in reappointment to the Library Board of Trustees. Because Library Board Trustees are governed by the State Education Code and are not subject to the City's two, four-year term limitation as other City commissioners, Trustees Gomez and Davis are eligible for reappointment.
A public notice requesting interested residents to submit an application for the Library Board of Trustees was issued in November. In addition, the public notice was concurrently aired on Redlands TV and posted at the community bulletin board at the A. K. Smiley Public Library. The local newspapers also received distribution of the public notice. One application was received in response to the Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 24 of 1429
distribution of the public notice. One application was received in response to the public notice, and two letters from the incumbents were included for consideration.

RE: A.K. Smiley Library Board
Honorable Mayor Tejeda and City Council:
I am writing to you to request a re-appointment to the A. K. Smiley Library Board of Trustee. It has been my pleasure to serve in the capacity as Vice President these past years. The board continues to forge ahead to find ways to meet the diverse community needs. Most recently we engaged the community, staff and trustees in a Strategic Plan. The outcome of the plan has highlighted our successes, challenges, and strategies to address the constituent needs.
I am fortunate to be an active member on the Board of Trustees. The stability, fortitude, and vision of the current board continues to place a great emphasis on providing the optimum services to our diverse community. The partnerships that have been developed with you and the City Council will continue to help us serve the City of Redlands constituents.
It is with much enthusiasm that I submit my letter of interest to continue serving you, the City Council, and Redlands residents on the A.K. Smiley Library Board.
Respectfully submitted,
Rosa E. Gomez

DATE: 12/19/2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve a Learning Partner Agreement between the City of Redlands and Cal Baptist University offering discounted degree programs to City employees (Assistant City Manager McConnell) MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to approve the Learning Partner Agreement between the City of Redlands and California Baptist University offering discounted degree programs to the City employees.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the agreement between the City of Redlands and California Baptist University to participate in CBU's learning partner program offering discounted degree program to City employees.
DISCUSSION:
The City highly encourages employees to continue their education and obtain degrees through institutions of higher learning. California Baptist University is regionally accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC), which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. California Baptist University offers a Learning Partner Agreement that enables employees of their MOU partner the opportunity to receive a discount on their tuition provided that they meet the program's ongoing requirements.
Through the program, the University offers a discounted tuition, customized education, scholarship opportunities, and other considerations to benefit-eligible employees of the MOU partner. The promotion and recruitment process may Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 30 of 1429
employees of the MOU partner. The promotion and recruitment process may include advertisements, education fairs, and on-site information sessions as approved by the MOU partner.
Participants in the program shall receive a tuition discount of 20% and a waiver for the application fees. The discount may not be applied to the University's RN to BSN, MS in Physician Assistant Studies, MS in Speech Language Pathology or Doctor of Psychology programs or be combined with other discount offers or other institutional aid. Within the City, this program may provide employees with the ability to acquire knowledge and skills that may further their personal career aspirations and their work for the City.
As part of participating in this special tuition program, staff performed due diligence relating to the discount offered to public employees. The State's Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC), in adopting regulations to implement the Political Reform Act, has informed the City that the discounted tuition that is being offered by California Baptist University may constitute a "gift" for purposes of the annual reporting obligations of City employees who are designated as Form 700 filers pursuant to the City's Conflict of Interest Code. Employees are solely responsible for determining their individual legal obligations with respect to the FPPC's annual reporting requirements and compliance with the FPPC's limitations on the dollar amount of gifts acceptable from any one source in a 12-month period. Acceptance of discounted tuition may have legal consequences for such employees, and the City makes no representation with respect to, nor shall have any liability for, an employee's participation in this discounted tuition program.

SUBJECT: Approve a Memorandum of Understanding between the Department of Behavioral Health and the City of Redlands Police Department to expand consumer rapid access to mental health crisis care through Community Triage, Engagement, and Support Teams and have community office space available for mobile Community Crisis Response Teams (Police Chief Tolber)
MOTION(S):
I move to approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the Department of Behavioral Health and the City of Redlands Police Department to expand consumer rapid access to mental health crisis care through Community Triage, Engagement, and Support Teams (TEST), and have community office space available for mobile Community Crisis Response Teams.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the Department of Behavioral Health and the City of Redlands Police Department to expand consumer rapid access to mental health crisis care through Community Triage, Engagement, and Support Teams and have community office space available for mobile Community Crisis Response Teams.
DISCUSSION:
The Redlands Police Department (RPD) and the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) are committed to bringing responsive access to mental health crisis services to the Redlands community. Since 2018, RPD has partnered with DBH on the Triage, Engagement, and Support Team (TEST). TEST is a community-based program comprised of DBH paraprofessionals located in partnered sites across the county. The ultimate goal of TEST is to support wellness, recovery, and resilience. TEST offers crisis intervention and intensive case management to connect individuals with various Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 43 of 1429
intervention and intensive case management to connect individuals with various resources, including mental health services, substance-use disorder treatment programs, homeless and employment services, and to reduce hospitalization and incarceration. TEST services are funded by the Mental Health Services Act (Proposition 63). DBH will provide one TEST staff member to the City of Redlands Police Department at no charge, in exchange for a dedicated office space to work out of during his/her shift. The staff member will be working 40 hours per week, Monday – Friday.
Several other police departments in the Inland Empire currently have TEST staff assigned to their stations and have noticed improved efficiency in response to mental health calls by connecting individuals with the appropriate mental health crisis intervention services. The following stations currently have DBH staff assigned: Fontana PD, Fontana Sheriff Station, Hesperia Sheriff Station, Highland Sheriff Station, Rialto Police Department, and Upland Police Department. In stations where TEST staff are assigned, there has been a significant reduction in the number of mental health holds written. Individuals who have TEST encounters have a significant increase in the use of outpatient mental health services. RPD and the community would continue to benefit by having a TEST staff member assigned to the City of Redlands Police Department. The new MOU would be effective as of January 1, 2024.
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Redlands and the Department of Behavioral Health for dedicated office space.

I. PURPOSE
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) serves to identify areas of agreement and responsibility between City and the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH), regarding the use of dedicated office space within City’s Police Department for co-locating DBH TEST program staff to assist/link consumers with community services.
DBH will assign the TEST staff that will utilize office space within City location here:
Redlands Police Department
30 Cajon Street
Redlands, CA 92373
(909) 335-4744
The MOU is a joint effort to bring responsive access to mental health crisis services to the Redlands community, at no charge, for a consumer in need. In exchange for City’s space and responsibilities hereunder, the TEST staff shall provide crisis assessments, intervention, and intensive case management with linkage to community resources as outlined in Exhibit I.
II. DEFINITIONS
A. The terms consumer, resident, individual, client or participant are used interchangeably throughout this MOU referring to the individual inquiring, accessing and/or receiving services.
B. Authorization for Release of Protected Health Information (PHI): A HIPAA compliant authorization signed by the client or client’s legal representative, authorizing DBH to release the client’s information to a designated recipient. This form must be completed thoroughly with specified records to be shared, a designated time frame and expiration date, as well as a signature by the DBH client or his/her legal representative. If the form is signed by a legal representative, proof from the court system designating legal representation must accompany the request.
C. Department of Behavioral Health (DBH): The San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health, under state law, provides mental health and substance use disorder treatment services to County residents. In order to maintain a continuum of care, DBH operates or contracts for the provision of prevention and early intervention services, 24-hour care, day treatment outpatient services, case management, and crisis and referral services. Community services are provided in all major County metropolitan areas and are readily accessible to County residents.
D. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA): A federal law designed to improve portability and continuity of health insurance coverage in the group and individual markets, to combat waste, fraud, and abuse in health insurance and health care delivery, to promote the use of medical savings accounts, to improve access to long-term care services and coverage, to simplify the administration of health insurance, and for other purposes.
E. Mental Health Services Act (MHSA): Mental Health Services Act, also known as Proposition 63, imposes a 1% tax on adjusted annual income over $1,000,000. In November 2004, California voters passed Proposition 63 to adopt the MHSA. According to the MHSA, the intent of the funding is to reduce the long term adverse impact on individuals, families, and State and local budgets resulting from untreated serious mental illness.
Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 48 of 1429
F. Personally Identifiable Information (PII): PII is information that can be used alone or in conjunction with other personal or identifying information, which is linked or linkable to a specific individual. This includes: name, social security number, date of birth, address, driver’s license, photo identification, other identifying number (case number, client index number, SIMON number/medical record number, etc.)
G. Protected Health Information (PHI): PHI is individually identifiable health information held or transmitted by a covered entity or its business associate, in any form or media, whether electronic, paper or oral. Individually identifiable information is information, including demographic data, that relates to the individual’s past, present or future physical or mental health or condition; the provision of health care to the individual; or the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to the individual, and identifies the individual or for which there is reasonable basis to believe it can be used to identify the individual.

H. Triage, Engagement and Support Teams (TEST): Triage teams specializing in crisis intervention, continuum of care, and intensive case management for individuals experiencing an urgent psychiatric health condition with up to 59 days of individualized linkage and follow up services. The goal is to improve consumer experience by improving access to mental health services with local staff and rapid response times, allowing the consumer to possibly stay within their own community and strengthening their opportunity for recovery and wellness while reducing involvement with the criminal justice system, reducing frequencies of emergency room visits and/or unnecessary hospitalization.

Description of Triage,
Engagement and Support Teams (TEST) Services Available
And Co-location Specific Considerations
FOR
Redlands Police Department
30 Cajon Street
Redlands, CA 92373
Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) has community based, behavioral health, crisis teams that respond throughout San Bernardino County for consumers having a mental health emergency and is in need of crisis triage. The success of the Triage, Engagement, and Support Teams (TEST) program has grown with Agency collaborations throughout San Bernardino County. DBH funds:
• Triage, Engagement and Support Team (TEST)
Program Manager II: Vivian Bermudez (909) 421-9456
Number of Locations: Approximately 31 community office spaces Base Location: Co-located within participating community agency Specialty: Crisis triage for consumers referred by Agency.
TEST works with consumers experiencing a mental health crisis to develop and maintain a level of stability that reduces the need for emergency services and minimizes incarcerations and hospitalizations, freeing law enforcement and medical facilities resources.
Agencies requesting to locate a TEST team participate collaboratively with DBH. The Agency provides no cost office space and refers local consumers that may need TEST’s specialized services. The referred consumer receives expedited access to mental health crisis triage from TEST staff located in the Agency offices. Consumers are given the opportunity to de-escalate and focus on their present needs and learn how TEST can assist them by linking them to appropriate services resulting in better consumer outcomes.
Exhibit I is attached to the MOU as an overview of the TEST program, specifies considerations unique to the Agency, defines the specific services available through the TEST program, and shares the State mandated reporting requirement.
I. Overview of TEST Current Successes and Examples
A. Since the inception of TEST in 2014, the purpose was to improve consumer access to specialized behavioral health services during a mental health crisis and to minimize negative outcomes such as incarcerations and hospitalizations. In FY 2022/23, there were a total of 11,007 TEST encounters with co-located TEST staff in San Bernardino County.
B. The following results can be highlighted:
• By DBH co-locating mental health crisis triage staff where consumers live and work the access to specialty mental health services for underserved consumers has increased.
Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 56 of 1429
EXHIBIT I
• Consumers receiving crisis triage followed by immediate linkage to appropriate services has improved consumer outcomes.
• Decreased costs for law enforcement agencies and emergency room services as resources to assist consumers in crisis are diverted to TEST staff and appropriate linked services.
• Increased number of consumers experiencing a mental health crisis diverted from the justice system, hospitals and/or hospitalization.
C. TEST within your City:
TEST’s Program Manager (PM) or designee will select the appropriate staff for your facility. The PM continually evaluates TEST locations on their successes for providing services/referrals/linkage for consumers in crisis. In the office space provided each TEST encounter will focus on individual consumer needs, and provide community based crisis triage combined with linkage to quality mental health services to improve consumer outcomes.
TEST Commitment to City TEST Provides
To ensure 100% of City’s referrals,
consumers experiencing a mental
health crisis, are seen in a timely
fashion, initiating improved
consumer outcomes.
TEST staff provides immediate access to
Specialty Mental Health Services for
consumers in a mental health crisis.
D. Most Agencies Frequently Referred Consumers:
DBH shall screen consumers generated and referred by the City, shall develop policies and procedures regarding those persons who are eligible for services; and shall provide a linkage plan for all consumer interventions that aid in the maintenance of a stable level of functioning.
Most Frequent Referrals TEST Specific Focus
Consumer in crisis, coming in
contact with host City, having cooccurring mental health and substance use disorders
When TEST staff identifies consumers
with co-occurring mental health and
substance use disorders staff
links/provides referrals to appropriate
services
Consumers in crisis who may
respond well to peer support and
self-help groups
TEST staff arranges access to peer
support and self-help groups
Consumers in crisis who are part
of the 25% of statistical uninsured
consumers
TEST serves uninsured consumers and
links them with services and applying for
or utilizing current insurance coverage
Consumers in crisis needing more
than day one of crisis intervention.
Usually needing an assisted period
of stabilization with regular follow
up such as several weeks of
guidance and/or more intensive
level of assistance.
TEST will provide up to 59 days of case
management services; TEST will provide
linkage to all community resources and
services accessible to DBH that could be
beneficial to each unique consumer with
a focus on long term stabilization,
minimized use of emergency room

services as well as reduced psychiatric
hospital admissions.
II. Participating City Considerations
A. General Considerations
• Provide TEST staff access to data to track/report necessary information that measures reduced time law enforcement spends with individuals needing mental health services; reduced number of encounters between consumer and law enforcement; reduced number of crisis referrals that result in arrests and jail time; and reductions in crisis referred consumers that do not need emergency services and hospitalization. Work collaboratively with DBH, as necessary.
B. Considerations Applicable to Law Enforcement
• At the Station Commander’s discretion and with his/her approval:
o Provide TEST staff with a hand-held radio after the appropriate C.L.E.T.S. testing has been taken and a statement of confidentiality has been signed and received by the City
o Provide training to TEST staff for radio use with provided call signs III. Detailed Description of Available Services TEST Staff May Provide A. The behavioral health service provided comes at no cost to the City and is provided by the TEST program as an expedient link to behavioral health services for the community served. Initial services shall be directed toward achieving crisis intervention, diversion, and stabilization.
B. TEST staff is called to assist City staff when a possible consumer is exhibiting symptoms of psychiatric crisis. TEST will immediately respond starting with triage to engage and support the consumer in crisis. TEST staff will provide crisis intervention with assessment and evaluation including collateral to help identify the needs for behavioral health services. The goal of intensive case management is to stabilize and successfully link consumers to DBH services and other community resources.
The following are services provided by TEST staff:
1. Crisis Intervention is a quick emergency response service enabling the individual to cope with a crisis, while maintaining his/her status as a functioning community member to the greatest extent possible. A crisis is an unplanned event that results in the individual’s need for immediate service intervention. The response modality must allow for the resolution of the consumer’s crisis. Crisis Intervention services are limited to stabilization of the presenting emergency. Service activities include but are not limited to assessment, evaluation, and collateral.
Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 58 of 1429
EXHIBIT I
a. Assessment is an analysis of the history and current status of the individual’s mental, emotional, or behavioral disorder. Relevant cultural factors and history may be included where appropriate.
Assessments will include consumer level of acuity and risk. b. Evaluation is an appraisal of the individual’s community functioning in several areas including living situation, daily activities, social support systems and health status. Cultural issues may be addressed where appropriate.
c. Collateral is contact with one or more significant support persons in the life of the individual to assist the consumer in crisis as quickly as possible.
2. Intensive Case Management provided by TEST staff for up to 59 days to link the consumer with appropriate DBH and community resources for continued stability.
C. Consumer interventions conclude following completion of services or consumer is at an acceptable level of stability and/or linkage with supportive resources.
IV. TEST Staff
All TEST staff shall be employed by DBH. The staff described will work the designated number of hours per week in full time equivalents (FTE's) and perform the job functions specified. Clinical staff providing TEST services shall be licensed or waivered by viable internship by the State, if applicable.
A. The staffing will consist of the following:
An intensive case management treatment model will be used and will employ staff members that may include any combination of the following: Social Worker II, Alcohol and Drug Counselor, Mental Health Specialist, and/or Clinical Therapist, for the purpose of providing crisis intervention services, intensive case management and linkage within the dedicated office space, and in the field.
B. Staff Responsibilities:
1. Provide crisis triage/response/intervention.
2. Provide interagency coordination of crisis services.
3. Conduct case management needs assessment for possible intensive case management for consumers, identified and referred by the City, for referrals/linkage to DBH services and/or other community services.
4. Identify individuals with potential Substance Use Disorder and Recovery Services (SUDRS) needs and refer to community SUDRS services.
5. Provide short-term follow-up case management services (up to 59 days) while consumers are appropriately linked to DBH services and/or other community services.
Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 59 of 1429
EXHIBIT I
6. Collaborate with City staff, community agencies, family, and other support persons to avoid psychiatric hospitalizations or law enforcement escalations and to improve consumers daily functioning.
7. Maintain appropriate and timely documentation, according to DBH policies and standards.
8. Attend co-location meetings such as, briefings, staff meetings, and/or other team/community meetings, as appropriate.
C. Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) 5150 Adults/5585 Children - Involuntary Psychiatric Hold
• Most TEST Paraprofessional staff are not able to write WIC 5150 or 5585 holds, but can assist law enforcement during WIC 5150 or 5585 evaluations by providing support to the officers writing the holds. • The exception occurs when a DBH Clinical Therapist is available and law enforcement is NOT available to do the WIC 5150/5585 evaluations. After an evaluation, if appropriate, DBH Clinical Therapist will write the needed hold.
D. Transporting WIC 5150 or 5585 holds to appropriate psychiatric facility • TEST staff can follow law enforcement to the hospital and sit with the consumer.
• TEST staff is able to transport consumers that do not present as violent or a flight risk with appropriate City vehicle without a law enforcement officer. This method frees up law enforcement to return to the community instead of transporting the consumer and waiting at the hospital.
V. Data Reporting and Outcome Measures Requirements
A. The assigned DBH Program Manager is responsible for reporting MHSA goals and outcome measures to the MHSA Coordinator, as appropriate.
The outcomes-based criteria which shall be measured are as follows:
GOALS KEY OUTCOMES
Reduce
unnecessary
psychiatric
hospitalizations
• Increased use of alternative crisis interventions (e.g., CWIC, CCRT, CSU).
• Increase in number of individuals diverted from
hospitalization.
• Increase access to and use of existing community
resources (e.g., housing, mental health services, alcohol and drug services, medical treatment, education
services, etc.)
B. DBH shall be responsible for collecting and entering data via the data collection instrument developed by the County and the State on all clients referred by the City. DBH shall ensure the data is entered electronically at encrypted network sites and downloaded at the County centralized database (Integrated System).
Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 60 of 1429
EXHIBIT I
In addition to the below performance-based criteria, data collection shall include demographic data, the number of case openings, the number of case closings, and the services provided. DBH may base future extensions of this program upon positive performance outcomes, which DBH will monitor throughout the year. TEST staff, in collaboration with host City, shall collect data in a timely manner and submit it to the DBH MHSA coordinator.
VI. DBH Considerations and Special Provisions
A. Program Manager shall monitor TEST staff and provide oversight on a regular basis in regard to compliance with all of the above requirements.
B. It is further expected that the consumer population will be reflective of the social, economic and ethnic characteristics of the communities served by the City.

City Council Meeting G. 7.
DATE: 12/19/2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve the State Plan of Operations Agreement and addendum between the State of California and the City of Redlands for the use of excess Department of Defense supplies and equipment, and authorize the Police Chief to execute both on behalf of the City (Police Chief Tolber)
MOTION(S):
I move to approve the State Plan of Operations Agreement and addendum between the State of California and the City of Redlands for the use of excess Department of Defense supplies and equipment, and authorize the Police Chief to execute both on behalf of the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approve the State Plan of Operations Agreement and addendum between the State of California and the City of Redlands for the use of excess Department of Defense supplies and equipment, and authorize the Police Chief to execute both on behalf of the City.
DISCUSSION:
The U.S. Department of Defense Law Enforcement Support Office (LESO) program permits the Secretary of Defense to transfer excess Department of Defense supplies and equipment to local law enforcement agencies for use in their law enforcement duties. This property is procured at no cost to the agency except for any shipping or transportation costs. The City of Redlands received rifles, a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle and night vision gear through the LESO program in prior years, saving Redlands taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. All equipment was fully functional and assigned for Redlands Police Department use.
The City is required to annually execute the attached agreement with the State Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 62 of 1429
The City is required to annually execute the attached agreement with the State of California as part of this program. The State Plan of Operations (SPO) Agreement is entered into between the State of California and the Chief Law Enforcement Official of the Law Enforcement Agency (LEA), to set forth the terms and conditions which will be binding on the parties with respect to excess Department of Defense (DOD) property which has been transferred pursuant to Title 10 USC 2576a. The agreement is meant to promote the efficient and expeditious transfer of property, as well as ensure accountability of all transferred property. This program requires an agreement between the State and recipient agency as a condition of receipt of the DOD property.
In February 2023, City Council approved an addendum that amends the existing State Plan of Operation (dated February 2021) between the State and the Redlands Police Department (LEA) and is herein referred to as the SPO Addendum. The SPO Addendum implements requirements found within Presidential Executive Order (EO) 14074 (Section 12), signed on May 25, 2022.
In accordance with current SPO-Paragraph 17, notice is being provided of a unilateral change to the SPO. Unless the Department takes immediate action to terminate the current SPO, the modifications or amendments will become binding. This new addendum is the same as the previous, but requires the signature of the new Chief of Police.
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not approve the State Plan of Operation and addendum between the State and the Redlands Police Department.

State Plan of Operation (SPO) between:
The State of California
and the
(State/United States Territory)
____________________________________________________
Law Enforcement Agency (LEA)
1) PURPOSE This State Plan of Operation (SPO) is entered into between the State/United States (U.S.) Territory and Law Enforcement Agency (as identified above), to set forth the terms and conditions which will be binding on the parties with respect to Department of Defense (DoD) excess personal property conditionally transferred pursuant to 10 USC § 2576a, in order to promote the efficient, expeditious transfer of property and to ensure accountability of the same.
2) AUTHORITY The Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) is authorized by 10 USC § 2576a to transfer to Federal and State Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs), personal property that is excess to the needs of the DoD, including small arms and ammunition, that the Secretary determines is suitable to be used by such agencies in law enforcement activities, with preferences for counter-drug/counter-terrorism, disaster-related emergency preparedness or border security activities, under such terms prescribed by the Secretary. The SECDEF has delegated program management authority to the DLA. The DLA Disp Svcs LESO administers the program in accordance with (IAW) 10 USC § 2576a, 10 USC § 280, DoDM 4160.21 and DLAI 4140.11. The DLA defines “law enforcement activities” as activities performed by governmental agencies whose primary function is the enforcement of applicable federal, State, and local laws and whose compensated law enforcement officers have powers of arrest and apprehension. 3) GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS “DoD excess personal property” also known as “items”, “equipment”, “program property”, or “property”. “DLA Disposition Services Law Enforcement Support Office” also known as “1033 Program”, “LESO Program”, “the program”, or “LESO”. “State or U.S. Territory” also known as “the State”, “State Coordinator (SC)”, “State Point of Contact (SPOC)”, or “SC/SPOC”. “Law Enforcement Activities” also known as “agencies in law enforcement activities”, “Law Enforcement Agency (LEA)”, “program participant”, or “State/LEA”.
a) Property made available under this agreement is not for personal use and is for the use of authorized program participants only. All requests for property shall be based on bona fide law enforcement requirements. Authorized participants who receive property from the program will not loan, donate, or otherwise provide property to other groups or entities (i.e., public works, county garage, schools, etc.) that are not otherwise authorized to participate in the program. Property will not be obtained by program participants for the purpose of sale, lease, loan, personal use, rent, exchange, barter, transfer, or to secure a loan. To receive such property, on an annual basis the LEA shall certify that they have:
i) Obtained authorization of the relevant local governing body authority (i.e., city council, mayor, etc.).
ii) Adopted publicly available protocols for the appropriate use of controlled property, the supervision, and the evaluation of the effectiveness of such use, including auditing and accountability policies.
Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 70 of 1429
Law Enforcement Support Program Page 2 of 15 State Plan of Operations
Version-February 2021
iii) Annual training in place and provides it to relevant personnel on the maintenance, sustainment, and appropriate use of controlled property, including respect for the rights of citizens under the Constitution of the U.S. and de-escalation of force. b) All costs associated with the transportation, turn-in, transfer, repair, maintenance, insurance, disposal, repossession or other expenses related to property are the sole responsibility of the State/LEA. The State/LEA shall also be responsible to reimburse the U.S Government (USG) for costs incurred in retrieving and/or repossessing property impermissibly transferred by the State/LEA to unauthorized participants. c) The State/LEA will maintain and enforce regulations designed to impose adequate security and accountability measures for controlled property to mitigate the risk of loss or theft of property. Program participants shall implement controls to ensure property made available under this agreement is used for official law enforcement use only. The State/LEA shall take appropriate administrative and/or disciplinary action against individuals that violate provisions of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Federal Government and the State/U.S. Territory and/or this SPO, including unauthorized use of property.
d) All property transferred to the State/LEA via the program is on an as-is, where-is basis. e) LESO reserves the right to recall property issued to a State/LEA at any time. f) General use of definitions/terms:
i) Demilitarization (DEMIL code)-a code assigned to DoD property that indicates the degree of required physical destruction, identifies items requiring specialized capabilities or procedures, and identifies items which do not require DEMIL but may require Trade Security Controls (TSC). Program participants are not authorized to conduct physical demilitarization of property.
ii) “Controlled property”-items with a DEMIL code of B, C, D, E, F, G, and Q (with an Integrity Code of “3”. Title and ownership of controlled property remains with the DoD in perpetuity and will not be relinquished to the State/LEA. When a State/LEA no longer has a legitimate law enforcement use for controlled property, they shall notify the LESO and the property will be transferred to another program participating State/LEA (via standard transfer process) or returned to DLA Disp Svcs for disposition. iii) “Non-controlled" property”-items with a DEMIL code of A or Q (with an Integrity Code of “6”). These items are conditionally transferred to the State/LEA and will remain on State/LEA accountable inventory for one year from the ship date. However, after one year from the ship date, DLA will relinquish ownership and title for the property to the State/LEA without issuance of further documentation. During this one year period, the State/LEA remains responsible for the accountability and physical control of the property and the LESO retains the right to recall the property. Participants should return any property in this one year period that becomes excess to their needs or they otherwise determine is not serviceable.

Law Enforcement Support Program Page 3 of 15 State Plan of Operations
Version-February 2021
(1) The LEA receives title and ownership of DEMIL “A” and “Q6” property as governmental entities. Title and ownership of this property does not pass from DoD to any private individual or State/LEA official in their private capacity. Such property shall be maintained and ultimately disposed of IAW provisions in State and local laws that govern public property.
(2) Sales/gifting of DEMIL“A” and “Q6” property after one year from the ship date inconsistent with State/local law may constitute grounds to deny future participation in the program.
(3) After one year from ship date, DEMIL “A” and “Q6” property may be transferred, cannibalized for usable parts, sold, donated, or scrapped. (4) Once the property is no longer on the LEA accountable inventory, the property is no longer subject to the annual physical inventory requirements and will not be inventoried during a LESO Program Compliance Review (PCR). g) All physical transfers of property require LESO approval. Program participants will not physically transfer property until the LESO approval process is complete. Program participants may request their SC/SPOC approval to temporarily conditionally loan property to another program participant (if mission requires). If the SC/SPOC approves the temporary conditional loan, it shall be done using an acceptable Equipment Custody Receipt (ECR).
At the end of the temporary conditional loan, the item (s) shall be returned to the original LEA for accountability. All requests for conditional loans will be based on bona fide law enforcement requirements.
h) The program may authorize digital signatures on required program documentation. i) The State/LEA is not required to maintain insurance on controlled property, aircraft or other property with special handling requirements that remain titled to DoD. However, the State/LEA will be advised that if they elect to carry insurance and the insured property is on the program inventory at the time of loss or damage, the recipient will submit a check made payable to DLA for insurance proceeds received in excess of their actual costs of acquiring and rehabilitating the property prior to its loss, damage, or destruction. 4) STATE PLAN OF OPERATION The State shall:
a) Assist in training LEAs with enrollment, property requests, transfers, turn-ins, and disposal procedures.
b) Adhere to the requirements outlined in the MOA between the Federal Government and the State/U.S. Territory and ensure MOA amendments or modifications are incorporated into this SPO and program participants are notified and acknowledge responsibility to comply with changes.
c) Submit a SPO to LESO that shall address procedures for determining LEA eligibility, allocation, equitable distribution of property, accountability, inventory, training, and education, State-level internal PCRs, export control requirements, procedures for turn-in, transfer, and disposal and other responsibilities concerning property.

Individuals who wish to attend are responsible for funding their own travel expenses. The briefing will include information on training, technical support, equipment, and facilities that are available to civilian law enforcement personnel from the DoD. The state shall provide program participants training material as discussed during the annual LESO training which includes information on property management best practices to include (but not limited to) searching for property, accounting for property on inventory, transfer and turn-in of property when it is no longer needed or serviceable.
8) ENROLLMENT The LESO shall establish and implement program eligibility criteria IAW 10 USC § 2576a, DLA Instructions and Manuals and this SPO and retains final approval/disapproval authority for application packages forwarded by the State. Non-governmental law enforcement entities such as private railroad police, private security, private academies, correctional departments, prisons, or security police at private schools/colleges are not eligible to participate. Fire departments (by definition) are not eligible to participate and should be referred to the DLA Fire Fighter program administered by USDA. Law enforcement agencies requesting program participation shall have at least one full-time law enforcement officer. Program property may only be issued to full-time/part-time law enforcement officers.
Non-compensated reserve officers are not authorized to receive property. State law enforcement training facilities/ academies may be authorized to participate in the program given their primary function is the training of bona fide State/local law enforcement officers.
Law enforcement training facilities/academies will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The State shall:
a) Validate the authenticity of state/LEAs that are applying for program participation.
Only submit to the LESO those application packages that the SC/SPOC recommends/certifies are government agencies whose primary function is the enforcement of applicable federal, State, and local laws and whose compensated officers have the powers of arrest and apprehension. If the State forwards an unauthorized participant application package, this may result in a formal suspension of the State. b) Have sole discretion to disapprove state/LEA application packages in their State. The SC/SPOC should provide notification to the LESO when application packages are disapproved at the State-level.
c) Ensure that screeners listed in the application package are employees of the LEA. A screener may only screen property for two LEAs. Contractors may not conduct screening on behalf of a LEA.
d) Make recommendation on what constitutes a “full-time” or “part-time” law enforcement officer.

Version-February 2021
e) Ensure LEAs update their account information annually, or as needed. This may require the LEA to submit an updated application package. An updated application package shall be submitted for (but is not limited to) the following: a change in CLEO, the addition or removal of a screener, a change in the LEA physical address or contact information, etc.
f) Provide the LEA a comprehensive program overview once approved by the LESO for enrollment. The overview will be done within 90-days of a LEA being approved to participate.
9) PROPERTY ALLOCATION
a) The LESO shall:
i) Upon receipt of a SC/SPOC validated request for property through the RTD website, will review and give preference to requisitions indicating that the requested property will be used in the counter-drug, counter-terrorism, disaster-related emergency preparedness, or border security activities of the requesting LEA. Program participants that request vehicles used for disaster-related emergency preparedness, such as highwater rescue vehicles, should receive the highest preference. ii) Require additional justification for small arms, aircraft, ammunition, and vehicles and to the greatest extent possible, ensure fair and equitable distribution of property based on current LEA inventory and justification for property. iii) Reserve the right to determine and/or adjust allocation limits, to include the type, quantity and location of property allocated to the State/LEA. Generally, no more than one item (per part-time/full-time officer) will be allocated. Quantity exceptions may be granted by the LESO on a case-by-case basis based on the justification provided by the LEA. Currently, the following allocation limits apply:
(1) Robots: one (of each type) for every ten officers (full-time/part-time). (2) High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV)/Up-Armored HMMWV (UAH): one vehicle for every three officers (full-time/part-time). (3) Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) / Armored Vehicles: two vehicles per LEA.
(4) Small arms: one (of each type) per officer (full-time/part-time).
Small Arms Acceptable
Over-Allocations
# of Officers # by type
1-10 2 or less
11-25 3 or less
26-100 5 or less
101-299 8 or less
300 or more 10 or less

Version-February 2021
(a) LESO may authorize over allocations of small arms in preparation for inevitable scenarios, i.e. training, equipment downtime (damage, routine maintenance, inspections) or other law enforcement needs. The chart below is the standard for small arms acceptable over-allocations:
(b)In instances where small arm allocation amounts exceed the “acceptable over-allocation” levels, the LESO will coordinate with States to verify accuracy of the officer count. If small arm allocation is still beyond acceptable levels, LESO may authorize one of the following: 1) an exception to policy, 2) a transfer, or 3) a turn-in.
b) The State shall:
i) Assist the LEA in the use of electronic screening of property via the RTD website and shall access the RTD website a minimum of once daily (Monday-Friday) to review and process LEA requests for property. Property justifications shall be validated to ensure they meet the intent of 10 USC § 2576a as suitable for use by agencies in law enforcement activities. Prior to approving a request or transfer, review the LEAs property allocation report to prevent over allocation.
ii) Upon receipt of a valid LEA request for property, provide a recommendation to the LESO on the preference to be given to those requisitions for property that will be used in counter-drug, counter-terrorism, disaster-related emergency preparedness or border security activities of the recipient agency. Requests for vehicles used for disaster-related emergency preparedness, such as high-water rescue vehicles, should receive the highest preference. The State shall consider the fair and equitable distribution of property based on current LEA inventory and LEA justifications for property. The State shall ensure the type and quantity of property being requested by LEAs is reasonable and justifiable given the number of officers (full-time/part-time) and prior requisitions for similar items they have received (both controlled and non-controlled property).
Generally, no more than one of any item per officer (full-time/part-time) will be allocated.
10) PROPERTY MANAGEMENT Certain controlled equipment shall have a documented chain of custody (i.e. an acceptable ECR), including a signature of the recipient. Controlled property requiring an ECR: small arms (including parts and accessories), aircraft, vehicles, optics, and robots. It is encouraged to utilize ECRs for all controlled property. LEAs may request cannibalization on aircraft or vehicles. Cannibalization requests shall be submitted to the State for review. Cannibalization must be approved by the LESO prior to any cannibalization actions.
The cannibalized end item shall be returned to DLA Disp Svcs within the timeframes determined by the LESO.
a) Aircraft-Aircraft will not be obtained by LEAs for the purpose of sale, lease, loan, personal use, rent, exchange, barter, transfer, or to secure a loan and shall be reported to the LESO at the end of their useful life. All aircraft are considered controlled property, regardless of DEMIL code. Aircraft that are no longer needed or serviceable shall be reported to the General Services Administration (GSA) for final disposition by the LESO Program Aircraft Specialist.

Law Enforcement Support Program Page 8 of 15 State Plan of Operations
Version-February 2021
b) Vehicles-Program participants that request vehicles used for disaster-related emergency preparedness, such as high-water rescue vehicles, should receive the highest preference. Vehicles will not be obtained by LEAs for the purpose of sale, lease, loan, personal use, rent, exchange, barter, transfer, or to secure a loan and vehicles that are considered controlled property will be returned to DLA Disp Svcs at the end of their useful life. DLA Disp Svcs Field Activity/Site will identify qualifying DEMIL A or Q6 vehicles and may issue (upon LEA request) a Standard Form (SF) SF-97 to the LEA upon physical transfer of the vehicle. The LEA may modify the vehicle during the one year conditional transfer period. c) Ammunition-LESO will support the U.S. Army (USA), in allocating ammunition to program participants. Ammunition obtained via the program will be for training use only. At the time of request, the LEA will certify in writing that the ammunition will be used for training use/purposes only. The USA will issue approved transfers directly to the State/LEA. The State/LEA is responsible for funding all packing, crating, handling, and shipping costs for ammunition. The LEA will make reimbursements directly to the USA. Ammunition will not be obtained by LEAs for the purpose of sale, lease, loan, personal use, rent, exchange, barter, transfer, or to secure a loan. Ammunition obtained via the program shall not be sold.
Ammunition will be treated as a consumable item and not tracked in any DLA inventory system or inspected during PCRs. LESO shall track and maintain necessary records of ammunition that has been transferred to LEAs and will post all requests, approvals, and denials on the LESO public website.
d) Small arms:
i) Small arms will not be obtained by LEAs for the purpose of sale, lease, loan, personal use, rent, exchange, barter, transfer, or to secure a loan and shall be returned to DLA Disp Svcs at the end of their useful life. Cannibalization of small arms is not authorized. ii) Temporary modifications to small arms are authorized; permanent modifications to small arms are not authorized (i.e. drilling holes in the lower receiver of a small arm). In cases of temporary modifications, all parts are to be retained and accounted for in a secured location under the original serial number for the small arm until final disposition is determined. If the modified small arm is transferred to another LEA, all parts will accompany the small arm to the receiving LEA.
iii) Small arms will be issued utilizing an acceptable ECR which obtains certain information about the property being issued to include (but is not limited to) the signature of the law enforcement officer who is accepting responsibility for the small arm(s), the serial number of the small arm, the date in which the law enforcement officer took possession of the small arm, etc.
iv) Small arms that are not carried on an officer’s person or in the officer’s immediate physical vicinity will be secured using “two levels of physical security”. Two levels of physical security meaning two distinct lockable barriers, each specifically designed to render a small arm inaccessible and unusable to unauthorized persons. Lockable barriers meeting this description may be either manual or electronic.

Law Enforcement Support Program Page 9 of 15 State Plan of Operations
Version-February 2021
v) Program participants no longer requiring program small arm(s) shall request authorization to transfer the small arm to another participating LEA or request authorization to turn-in/return the small arm. Transfers and turn-in requests shall receive final approval from the LESO; small arms will not physically move until the LESO provides official notification that the approval process is complete. When turning-in small arms to Anniston Army Depot, the LEA shall follow LESO turn-in guidance. vi) Local destruction (DEMIL) of small arms is not authorized. vii) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed (LSD) small arms:
(1) Program participants with multiple instances of LSD small arms in a five-year window will be assessed by DLA Disp Svcs to determine if a systemic problem exists IAW DLAI 4140.11.
(2) DLA OIG investigations may be initiated if small arms are improperly disposed of or become LSD while in program inventory. The State/LEA may be required to reimburse DLA the fair market value of the small arms when negligence, willful misconduct, or a violation of the MOA between the Federal Government and the State/U.S. Territory and/or this SPO is confirmed at the conclusion of the Financial Liability Investigation of Property Loss (FLIPL).
(a) Reimbursement will be within 60-days of the completion of the FLIPL. (b) Title will never transfer to the recipient regardless of the status of the small arm.
(c) Payments due to DLA Disp Svcs, based upon the findings of the FLIPL, may be paid by one of three methods: 1) credit card via pay.gov, 2) cashier/ business check, or 3) wire transfer.
(3) In instances of LSD small arm recovery, DoD retains title in perpetuity and the small arm shall be immediately relinquished/surrendered back to the program. 11) PROGRAM COMPLIANCE REVIEWS (PCR)
a) The LESO shall:
i) Conduct PCRs to ensure that the SC/SPOC, and all LEAs within a State are compliant with the terms and conditions of the program as required by 10 USC § 2576a, the MOA between the Federal Government and the State/U.S. Territory and/or this SPO and any DLA Instructions and manuals regarding the program. PCRs are conducted to ensure property accountability, program compliance, and program eligibility. ii) Conduct PCRs for participating States every 2 years, providing training to the State/LEA as needed.
iii) Reserve the right to conduct no notice PCRs, or require an annual review, or similar inspection, on a more frequent basis for any State/LEA.

Law Enforcement Support Program Page 10 of 15 State Plan of Operations
Version-February 2021
iv) Intend to physically inventory 100% of property selected for review at each LEA during a PCR. The use of ECRs in lieu of physical inspection is discouraged during PCRs.
Extensive use of the ECR (without prior coordination with LESO) may result in a noncompliance finding during the PCR. v) Intend to review as much property as possible during a PCR. (1) The goal is to review 20% of a State’s overall small arms inventory. (2) The goal for inventory selections (at LEAs selected for review) is 15% of an LEAs general property to include non-controlled property (DEMIL code A and Q6). vi) Select LEAs not visited during the last three regularly scheduled PCR cycles (as applicable).
vii) Recommend corrective actions (which may include suspending a State/LEA from program participation) for findings of non-compliance identified during a PCR. (1) The LESO shall issue corrective actions (with suspense dates) to the State, which will identify what is needed to rectify the identified deficiencies within the State/LEA. (2) If the State/LEA fails to correct identified deficiencies within the LESO suspense dates, the LESO may move to restrict, suspend, or terminate the State/LEA from program participation.
(3) States found non-compliant for a PCR will be suspended for a minimum of 60- days and will not be reinstated until the State successfully passes a LESO-conducted PCR.
viii) Ensure the State/LEA understand that property shall be transferred to a participating agency with SC/SPOC and LESO approval or returned to DLA Disp Svcs when no longer needed or serviceable.
b) The State shall:
i) Assist the LESO as required, prior to, during and upon completion of the PCR. ii) Assist in the coordination of the PCR daily schedule of events and forward the schedule to LEAs that have been selected for review.
iii) Contact LEAs that have been selected for the PCR via phone, email or in person to ensure they are aware of the schedule and are prepared for the PCR. iv) Receive inventory selections from the LESO and forward them to the selected LEAs.
The State shall ensure the LEA physically gathers the selected property in a central location (to the greatest extent possible) which will allow the LESO to physically inventory the property efficiently during the PCR.
v) Coordinate the use of any ECR with the LESO prior to the PCR.

vi) Ensure LEAs understand property shall be transferred to a participating agency with SC and LESO approval or returned to DLA Disp Svcs when deemed no longer needed or serviceable.
vii) Conduct State-level (internal) PCRs of participating LEAs to ensure property accountability, program compliance and program eligibility utilizing a PCR checklist provided by the LESO, or equivalent (for uniformity purposes). (1) Ensure a State-level (internal) PCR of at least 8% of LEAs with program inventory is completed annually (3% of which will be focused on program participants with no controlled property). Results of the State-level (internal) PCR will be kept on-file with the State. Documentation shall be provided to the LESO for each LEA that received a State-level PCR.
(2) The State-level (internal) PCR will include, at minimum:
(a) A review of the dually-signed SPO, ensuring it is uploaded to the property accounting system.
(b) A review of the LEA application package to confirm authenticity and eligibility of the LEA.
(c) An inventory of property selected for review at each LEA. (d) A review of each selected LEA files for any of the following which may include turn-in/transfer DD Form 1348-1A, ECR, small arm documentation, FLIPL documents, exception to policy letters, approved cannibalization requests, or other pertinent documentation as required.

(4) Notify the LESO and initiate an investigation into any questionable activity or action involving property issued to a LEA that comes to the attention of the State and is otherwise within the authority of the Governor/State to investigate. Upon conclusion of any such investigation, take appropriate action and/or make appropriate recommendations on restriction, suspension, or termination of the State/LEA to the LESO. The SC may suspend or terminate a State/LEA participation in the program at any time for non-compliance.
12) ANNUAL PHYSICAL INVENTORY Each State/LEA is required to conduct an annual physical inventory of all property on the active property book and provide certification in the property accounting system. DEMIL “A” and “Q6” property records will not be closed during the annual physical inventory period. In the State of California, the annual physical inventory and certification in the property accounting system process starts on July 1st and must be completed by September 30th each year. Each LEA shall complete their Annual Physical Inventory no later than August 31st each year. Our office will then complete the LESO Federal requirement by certifying the State No later than September 30th.

MEMORANDUM FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT SUPPORT OFFICE (LESO) PROGRAM
PARTICIPATING LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY (LEA)
SUBJECT: Addendum to LESO Program State Plan of Operation (SPO) This addendum amends the existing State Plan of Operation (dated February 2021) between the State and Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) and is herein referred to as the SPO Addendum. The SPO Addendum implements requirements found within Presidential Executive Order (EO) 14074 (Section 12), signed on May 25, 2022. In accordance with current SPO-Paragraph 17, notice is being provided of a unilateral change to the SPO. Unless an LEA takes immediate action to terminate the current SPO, the modifications or amendments will become binding.
1) ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The State Shall:
a) Ensure each LESO Program participating Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) has signed the LESOapproved SPO Addendum no later than January 1, 2023. The SPO Addendum will be signed by the Chief Law Enforcement Official (CLEO) (or assigned designee) and the current State Coordinator (SC) (or authorized State Point of Contact [SPOC]).
b) Provide LESO with a comprehensive list of LEAs who do not sign the SPO Addendum by January 1, 2023. LESO will restrict the LEA to ensure LEA may not request or receive “controlled” property as defined within this addendum.
2) MODIFICATION TO DEFINITION OF “CONTROLLED” PROPERTY This SPO Addendum adds the below items to the “controlled” property definitions currently found in the 2021 SPO. These items are added pursuant to EO 14074 which reestablishes EO 13688. In 2017, the Law Enforcement Equipment Working Group (established by EO 13688), further added, deleted and refined the definitions of “controlled” items in their annual equipment list review. Provisions within the 2021 MOA applicable to “controlled” property apply to the items listed below (regardless of DEMIL and/or DEMIL Integrity Code).
Title and ownership of the “controlled” property listed below remains with the DoD in perpetuity and will not be relinquished to the LEA (regardless of DEMIL and/or Integrity Code). The LESO retains final authority to determine what items qualify as “controlled” property.

c) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: A remotely piloted powered aircraft without a crew onboard. (Note: These items are not currently issued in the LESO Program). d) Armored Vehicles, Wheeled: Any wheeled vehicle either purpose‐built or modified to provide ballistic protection to its occupants, such as a Mine‐Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle or an Armored Personnel Carrier (APC). These vehicles are sometimes used by law enforcement personnel involved in dangerous operating conditions, including active shooter or similar high‐threat situations.
These vehicles often have weapon‐firing ports. (Note: These vehicles were previously considered controlled due to DEMIL code and are now prohibited unless certification requirements in Section 3 are met).
e) Tactical Vehicles, Wheeled: A vehicle purpose‐built to operate on‐ and off‐ road in support of military operations,such as a High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), 2.5‐ton truck, 5‐ton truck, or a vehicle with a breaching or entry apparatus attached. These vehicles are sometimes used by law enforcement in rough terrain or inclement weather for search and rescue operations, as well as other law enforcement functions. This excludes commercially available vehicles not tactical in nature, such as pick-up trucks or SUVs. (Note 1: This is LEEWG modified definition from 2017. Note 2: All tactical vehicles will now be considered controlled, and title will not pass. Note 3: Armored vehicles in this category will be considered prohibited unless certification requirements in Section 3 are met).
f)Command and Control Vehicles: Any wheeled vehicle either purpose-built or modified to facilitate the operational control and direction of public safety units responding to an incident. Command and control vehicles provide a variety of capabilities to incident Commander, including, but not limited to, the provision for enhanced communications and other situational awareness capabilities. Command and Control Vehicles are similar to a recreational vehicle and can accommodate multiple people at multiple workstations in the command center. This category does not include SUVs and is not intended for other types of vehicles that could serve as a command-and-control center. (Note 1: This is the LEEWG modified definition from 2017. Note 2: Armored vehicles in this category will be considered prohibited unless certification requirements in Section 3 are met). g) Specialized Firearms and Ammunition Under .50‐Caliber (excludes firearms and ammunition designed for regularly assigned duties) and less lethal launchers: Weapons and corresponding ammunition for specialized operations or assignment. This includes launchers specifically designed and built to launch less lethal projectiles. This excludes weapons such as service issued handguns, rifles or shotguns that are issued or approved by the agency to be used by all sworn officers/deputies during the course of regularly assigned duties. (Note 1: This is the LEEWG modified definition from 2017. Note 2: The LESO Program only issues weapons under .50 caliber that are designed for regularly assigned duties).
h) Explosives and Pyrotechnics: Includes “flash bangs” as well as explosive breaching tools often used by special operations units. (Note: These items were previously prohibited in the LESO Program and are now specifically prohibited in EO 14074).
i) Breaching Apparatus: Tools designed to provide rapid entry into a building or through a secured doorway. These tools may be mechanical in nature (a battering ram connected to a vehicle or a propellant), ballistic (slugs), or explosive. This category does not include dual purpose tools such as a sledgehammer or bolt cutter. (Note: This is the LEEWG modified definition from 2017). j) Riot/Crowd Control Batons: Non-expandable of greater length (more than 24 inches) than serviceissued types and are intended to protect its wielder during crowd control situations by providing distance from assailants. This category includes all batons with advanced features such as tear gas discharge, electronic or “stun” capabilities. (Note: This is the LEEWG modified definition from 2017).

l) Riot/Crowd Control Shields: Shields intended to protect wielders from their head to their knees in crowd control situations. Most are designed for the protection of the user from projectiles including rocks, bricks, and liquids. Some afford limited ballistic protection as well. (Note: This is the LEEWG modified definition from 2017).
3) PROHIBITED ITEMS THAT MAY BE ISSUED FOR LIMITED PURPOSES EO 14074 lists the below items as “prohibited” for issue under the LESO Program; however identifies specific authorized uses for these “prohibited” items if requested, utilized and annually certified as being used only in authorized manners. When utilized in an authorized manner (as indicated in the below example descriptions), the items are categorized as “controlled” property.
a) Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRAD) that do not have commercial application- LRADs are capable of directing sound over great distances at extreme volume in more geographical precision than an ordinary speaker. Certain LRAD capabilities which are aimed at dispersing individuals or groups as a kinetic use-of-force shall not be used. Examples of LRAD capabilities that shall not be used include (but are not limited to) attention commanding alert tones, powerful warning tones and/or deterrent tones.
i) Authorized uses- LRADs may only be utilized as a public address system for commercial purposes. Any other use is not authorized.
ii) Annual Certification Requirements- During the LESO Program annual inventory, LEAs with LRADs must certify that the LRAD is utilized exclusively as a public address system for commercial purposes. An LEAs signature on the SPO Addendum agreeing to these new terms will serve as initial certification.
iii) LEAs that do not have a current SPO Addendum on file by January 1, 2023 or who fail to annually certify the LRAD is being used in an authorized manner must return LRAD(s) to DLA Disposition Services.
b) Vehicles that do not have commercial application- This includes all tracked and armored vehicles, such as a Mine‐Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP), Armored Personnel Carrier (APC), or Armored HMMWV. (Note: This category excludes vehicles with commercial application, such as pick-up trucks, non-armored HMMWVs, 2.5‐ton trucks, 5‐ton trucks, or SUVs. The LESO Program identifies/defines vehicles with “commercial application” as items with a DEMIL Code of “A” or DEMIL “Q” (with an Integrity Code of 6) that may be sold to the general public under DoD sales programs).
i) Authorized uses- EO 14074 allows limited transfer of vehicles that do not have commercial application if the LEA certifies that the vehicle will be used exclusively for disaster-related emergencies; active shooter scenarios; hostage or other search and rescue operations; or antiterrorism preparedness, protection, prevention, response, recovery, or relief. Any other use of these vehicles is not authorized.
ii) Annual Certification Requirements- During the LESO Program annual inventory, LEAs with these vehicles must certify that the vehicle(s) is utilized exclusively for disaster-related emergencies; active shooter scenarios; hostage or other search and rescue operations; or antiterrorism preparedness, protection, prevention, response, recovery, or relief.

iii) LEAs that do not have a current SPO Addendum on file by January 1, 2023 or who fail to annually certify that the vehicle(s) use is exclusively for disaster-related emergencies; active shooter scenarios; hostage or other search and rescue operations; or anti-terrorism preparedness, protection, prevention, response, recovery, or relief must return vehicle(s) to DLA Disposition Services.
4) ACQUIRING (OR RETAINING) CONTROLLED PROPERTY The State shall:
a) Review, verify and only submit to LESO for approval, requests for controlled property by LEAs who have current SPO and SPO Addendum on file with the state. b) Ensure LEAs return controlled property to DLA Disposition Services if the Department of Justice (DOJ) determines or a Federal, State, Tribal, local, or territorial court enters a final judgment finding that the LEA has engaged in a pattern or practice of civil rights violations. c) Ensure that prior to requesting/acquiring any controlled property, the LEAs:
i) Provide written or electronic notification to the local community of its intent to request controlled property. The notification must be translated into appropriate languages to inform individuals with limited English proficiency. The LESO Program would recommend that LEAs provide a notice of intent to request controlled property to the local community on or before January 1, 2023 and at the beginning of each fiscal year (October 1st) thereafter. This notification should include a comprehensive list of any controlled property that may be requested throughout the year. If this notice of intent does not include a specific controlled property item, such item may not be requested in the LESO Program until 30-days after an updated notice is published. ii) Provide written or electronic notification to the city council or appropriate local Civilian Governing Body (CGB) of its intent to request controlled property and allow “reasonable opportunity to review” (normally 30-days). The LESO Program would recommend that LEAs provide a notice of intent to the CGB on or before January 1, 2023 and at the beginning of each fiscal year (October 1st) thereafter. This notification should include a comprehensive list of any controlled property that may be requested throughout the year. If this notice of intent does not include a specific controlled property item, such item may not be requested in the LESO Program until 30-days after an updated notice is published. Requests for controlled property must comport with all applicable approval requirements of the CGB.
(1) The above requirement includes elected Sheriff’s who also shall notify their CGB or city or county government within their jurisdiction.
(2) In cases of disagreement between requesting LEAs and CGB, the Governor appointed LESO Program State Coordinator (SC) will obtain an advisory opinion from the States Attorney General’s Office on whether CGBs are authorized by state law to deny the request.
iii) Campus LEAs operating in Institutions of Higher Education (IHE)- LEAs operating in IHEs otherwise referred to as “Campus Police” or “Campus LEAs” must also adhere to the requirements identified below:
(1) Obtain the IHE Board of Governors (or an equivalent body) explicit approval for the acquisition of controlled property. Such approval must be evidenced in the Campus LEAs request submitted to the LESO Program. Silence or inaction by the Campus LEAs Board of Governors does not constitute evidence of approval, and the “reasonable opportunity to review” (normally 30-days) standard does not apply to Campus LEA applications.
Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 88 of 1429
(2) Certify that their policies and training include specific provisions on using controlled property in a way that does not chill speech, is not disruptive to the educational environment, and does not foster a hostile climate among students. (3) Campus LEAs who receive controlled vehicles are required to remove the militaristic appearance (i.e., painting the vehicle a different color). 5) REGIONAL SHARING AGREEMENTS LESO Program participants who are part of a regional sharing agreement must also adhere to the following requirements. LEAs shall:
a) Provide information regarding the size of the region, including the number and size of the LEA with access to the requested controlled property and the estimated population served. b) Ensure any controlled property providing support in a regional sharing agreement is utilized in accordance with the LESO Program SPO and this SPO Addendum. c) Ensure that only LESO Program participants within the regional sharing agreement utilize the controlled property. Agencies/activities who are not LESO Program participants may not utilize or direct the use of controlled property obtained via the LESO Program. d) Obtain SC/SPOC approval to temporarily conditionally loan property to another LESO Program participant within the regional sharing agreement (if mission requires). If the SC/SPOC approves the temporary conditional loan, it shall be done using an acceptable Equipment Custody Receipt (ECR).
At the end of the temporary conditional loan, the item (s) shall be returned to the original LEA for accountability. All requests for conditional loans will be based on bona fide law enforcement requirements.
i) The LESO Program participant with controlled property on their inventory must certify that the other LESO Program participant in the regional sharing agreement requesting the property under a conditional loan:
(1) Has adopted requisite protocols (in Section 6 below) or will adopt those protocols before their personnel use the controlled property,
(2) Have provided requisite training (in Section 7 below) or will provide that training before their personnel use the controlled property, and (3)Will adhere to the information collection and retention requirements (in Section 8 below).
ii) The LEA conditionally loaning the controlled property will remain accountable to the LESO Program to ensure the above provisions are met.
6) POLICIES/PROCEDURES LEAs must establish policies/procedures that are consistent with the standards listed below, in order to request or maintain controlled property. LEAs must:
a) Adopt and comply with general policing standards.
i) Community Policing- LEA policies/procedures should reflect the concept that trust and mutual respect between police and the communities they serve are critical to public safety. Community policing fosters relationships between law enforcement and the local community which promotes public confidence in LEAs therefore increasing LEA ability to investigate crimes and keep the peace.
Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 89 of 1429
ii) Constitutional Policing- LEA policies/procedures must emphasize that all police work should be carried out in a manner consistent with the requirements of the U.S. Constitution and federal law. Policies/procedures must include First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendment principles in law enforcement activity, as well as compliance with Federal and State civil rights laws. LEA certified law enforcement officers receive training on the rights embodied by such Constitutional Amendments and how these amendments inform policing policies/procedures. iii) Community Input and Impact- LEA policies/procedures must identify mechanisms that LEAs will use to engage the communities they serve to inform them and seek their input about LEAs actions, role in, and relationships with the community. LEAs should make particular efforts to seek the input of communities where controlled property is likely to be used so as to mitigate the effect that such use may have on public confidence in the police. This could be achieved through the LEAsregular interactions with the public through community forums, town halls, or meetings with the Chief, or community outreach divisions.
b) Adopt and comply with controlled property standards. i) Appropriate Use of Controlled Property- LEA policies/procedures must define appropriate use of controlled property; officers who are authorized to use controlled property must be trained on these policies/procedures. LEAs should examine scenarios in which controlled property will likely be deployed, the decision‐making processes that will determine whether controlled property is used, and the potential that both use and misuse of controlled property could create fear and distrust in the community. Policies/procedures should consider whether measures can be taken to mitigate that effect (i.e., keep armored vehicles at a staging area until needed) and any alternatives to the use of such property and tactics to minimize negative effects on the community, while preserving officer safety.
ii) Supervision of Use- LEA policies/procedures must specify appropriate supervision of personnel operating or utilizing controlled property. Supervision must be tailored to the type of controlled property being used and the nature of the engagement or operation during which the property will be used. Policies/procedures must describe when a supervisor of appropriate authority is required to be present and actively overseeing the property being used. iii) Effectiveness Evaluation- LEA policies/procedures must articulate that the LEA will regularly monitor and evaluate the effectiveness and value of controlled property to determine whether continued deployment and use is warranted on operational, tactical, and technical grounds. LEAs should routinely review after‐action reports and analyze any data on, for example, how often controlled property is used or whether controlled property is used more frequently in certain law enforcement operations or in particular locations or neighborhoods. iv) Auditing and Accountability- LEA must establish policies/procedures that are designed to prevent misuse, unauthorized use and/or loss of controlled property. LEA will hold personnel accountable to agree and comply with State, local, Tribal and Federal controlled property use policies/procedures.
v) Transparency and Notice- LEA policies/procedures must articulate that LEA will engage the community regarding controlled property, policies/procedures governing its use, and review of “significant incidents” (as defined in Section 8), with the understanding that there are reasonable limitations on disclosures of certain information and law enforcement sensitive operations and procedures.
Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 90 of 1429
c) Must adopt and comply with record‐keeping requirements for controlled property. i) Upon LESO request, LEAs must provide a copy of the general policing standards and specific controlled property standards that were adopted, to include any related policies/procedures. ii) Record‐Keeping Requirement- LEAs must retain comprehensive training records, either in the personnel file of the officer who was trained or by the LEAs training division or equivalent entity, for a period of at least three (3) years, and must provide a copy of these records, upon LESO request.
7) TRAINING LEAs that request or have acquired controlled property via the LESO Program must establish written policies/procedures for controlled property use, and all personnel who are authorized to use the controlled property will be trained on these policies/procedures. LEAs must:
a) Provide annual training on general policing standards to personnel who may use the controlled property.
b) Provide annual training on property standards to personnel who may use the controlled property. c) Provide controlled property operational and technical training to personnel and ensure personnel are proficient prior to using controlled property.
d) Provide scenario‐based training to personnel that combines constitutional and community policing principles with controlled property specific training. LEA personnel authorizing or directing the use of controlled property should have enhanced scenario‐based training to examine, deliberate, and review the circumstances in which controlled property should or should not be used. 8) DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED FOR “SIGNIFICANT INCIDENTS” LEAs must collect and retain the information (described below) when any law enforcement activity involves a “Significant Incident” which requires (or results in) the use of controlled property on the LEAs inventory. A “Significant Incident” is defined as any law enforcement operation or action that involves: 1) a violent encounter among civilians or between civilians and the police, 2) a use‐of‐force that causes death or serious bodily injury, 3) a demonstration or other public exercise of First Amendment rights, or 4) an event that draws, or could be reasonably expected to draw, a large number of attendees or participants, such as those where advanced planning is needed. LEAs must:
a) Collect and retain documentation for controlled property used in a “Significant Incident” for a minimum of three (3) years after the incident has occurred. The LEA must provide documentation to LESO upon request.
i) Documentation should also be made available to the community the LEA serves in accordance with applicable policies/procedures with exemptions made concerning the disclosure of any sensitive information.
b) No new report or format is required for “Significant Incident” reports so long as information is easily accessible and organized. The required information may already exist in a police report, operations plan, officer daily log, incident report, after-action report or described in a use‐of‐force report. If required information (annotated below) is contained in a pre-existing reports, the LEA must simply ensure that the report includes information that controlled property was used. Required information is listed below:
i) Name and quantity of controlled property used, including relevant details such as make/model/serial number of controlled property used.

ii) Description of the LEA action/operation involving the controlled property. iii) Identification of LEA personnel who used and directed the use of the controlled property. iv) Identify or describe civilians who were the subject or target of LEA action/operation. For large crowds or multiple persons, the LEA must provide general description of the civilians (i.e., a crowd of approximately 250 people).
v) Result of the action/operation in which controlled property was used (i.e., arrests, citations, injuries or fatalities, use‐of‐force, victim extraction, or property damage). 9) ANNUAL CERTIFICATIONS By signing the SPO Addendum, the LEA agrees to the below certification statements. In addition, the LEA must annually certify compliance with the below certification statements during the Annual LESO Program Inventory. LEAs must:

It is recommended this notification be done on an annual basis.
ii) If controlled property is not identified in the comprehensive list provided to the CGB and local community, an updated notification to CGB and local community must be made. The CGB and local community will be afforded 30-days to review what additional items are being requested. c) Certify the request for controlled property comports/complies with all applicable approval requirements of the CGB.
d) Certify they have adopted and comply with controlled property standards (i.e., appropriate use, supervision of use, effectiveness evaluation, auditing/accountability of use, transparency/notice of use, and record-keeping requirements.

The Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Residents of Redlands Redlands, CA 92373
Subject: Annual Report of Development Impact Fees
Dear Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Residents of Redlands, Pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act (the “Act”) (Government Code section 66000 et seq.), and specifically section 66006 of the Act, the following report on the receipt, use, and retention of development impact fees for the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 is hereby presented to the City Council for review and approval. Development impact fees are charged by local governments to defray all or a portion of the cost of public facilities related to new development being constructed within the City. The legal requirements for enactment of a Development Impact Fee program are set forth in Government Code §§ 66000- 66025 (the "Mitigation Fee Act"), the bulk of which was adopted as 1987’s Assembly Bill 1600 and thus commonly referred to as “AB 1600 requirements”.
In the City of Redlands, development impact fees may be collected at the time of issuance of a certificate of occupancy or date of final inspection, or earlier as permitted by Government Code section 66000 et seq., for the purpose of mitigating the impacts caused by new development on the City’s infrastructure. Fees are used to finance the acquisition, construction, and improvement of public facilities related to new development projects.
A separate funding structure has been established to account for the impact of new development on each of the following types of public facilities: Open Space, Parks, Public Facilities (including police, fire, community center, library, and general government facilities), Transportation, Water, Non-Potable Water, Solid Waste, and Sewer.
Impact fees collected and spent during Fiscal Year 2022-23 were set by Resolution No. 7951 as approved by the City Council on April 2, 2019, which rescinded Resolution No. 7907. The amount of corresponding fee types, currently established by Resolution No. 7951, is attached hereto. Government Code Section 66006 requires local agencies to submit annual and five-year reports detailing the status of development impact fees, summarizing the revenues, interest income, and expenditures for each category of funds. This report was filed with the City Clerk’s Office and A. K. Smiley Public Library and was available for public review on December 5, 2023.
Respectfully submitted,
Management Services / Finance Staff

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES (227) Open Space Fund – Redlands Municipal Code Chapter 3.32 establishes an Open Space and Park Development Impact Fee. Twenty-five percent (25%) of this fee is deposited into an Open Space Fund to be used solely for the purpose of acquisition, improvement, preservation, and expansion of open space areas within the City in accordance with the provisions of the recreation, open space, and conservation element of the City’s General Plan. The General plan specifies the policy to preserve open space land in order to protect the visual character of the City, provide for public outdoor recreation, conserve natural resources, support groundwater recharge, and otherwise preserve open space areas.
In the General Plan, specific open space areas in the Planning Area include the “Emerald Necklace” concept, San Timoteo Canyon, the Santa Ana Wash, and Live Oak Canyon. California Govt. Code 65301(a) requires general plan planning areas to include all land within a city or county’s limits, and territory outside its boundaries “which in its judgment bears relation to its planning.” Redlands’ Planning Area encompasses 46 square miles, including all land within the Redlands city limits, the area within the City’s Sphere of Influence (SOI), and an unincorporated island known as the “Donut Hole” that is located in the northwestern portion of the city. Fee amounts are set by Resolution No. 7951.
The following table shows the balances, receipts, and expenditures of the Open Space Fund for the current and last five fiscal years:
2017-2018 2018-2019 2019-2020 2020-2021 2021-2022 2022-2023 Beg.

Receipts include fees of $89,098 and investment income of $18,517.
Expenditures include $1,782 in administrative charges.
Over the last ten years, monies collected in the Open Space Fund, along with grant monies, have been spent on the restoration and acquisition of open space within San Timoteo Canyon, including the San Timoteo Creek Habitat Enhancement Project, the Thompson Property, the Allen property, the Mistretta property and most recently, the Hudson property.
The current cash balance exceeds the cumulative fee collection over the past five years by $588,786, when adjusting for the $785,000 deposit of land sale proceeds as detailed above1. As a result, the City must make “findings” in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66006.

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES Findings:
Fees deposited into an Open Space Fund are to be used solely for the purpose of acquisition, improvement, preservation, and expansion of open space areas within the City in accordance with the provisions of the recreation, open space, and conservation element of the City’s General Plan. Because development impact fee revenue fluctuates and is difficult to forecast, there is no estimate for anticipated funding sources or amounts to complete the projects listed below. Monies collected into the Open Space Fund, including the existing excess cash, are expected to be used in accordance with the General Plan for the following projects over the next 5 years:
1. Open Space/Citrus Acquisition – the City is committed to retaining and improving the maximum feasible amount of open space property for recreational opportunities, conservation, agricultural uses, and resource protection. In terms of agricultural open space, one of the City’s goals is to increase the City’s acreage of citrus groves to an approximate target of 200 acres. As of FY 2023, the city owns 184 acres.
2. Emerald Necklace – the Emerald Necklace is a conceptual framework for a series of green open spaces and park areas surrounding the city approximately 45 miles in length, joined together with a special scenic road and trail system. The City has identified gaps in the Emerald Necklace and is working collaboratively to prioritize land acquisition or other resource preservation strategies in those areas. Several sites and properties have been purchased under this framework. Additionally, as suitable properties become available for acquisition, the City will evaluate opportunities to purchase the same.
3. Scenic Routes and Trails – The City has several project priorities: develop a linear parkway/recreational corridor centered along San Timoteo Creek and extending throughout the canyon, coordinate with San Bernardino County and the Santa Ana River Conservancy on implementing the objectives of the Santa Ana River Trail Parkway and Open Space Plan, and to complete the Emerald Necklace system of scenic routes and trails, including the Zanja Trail, Santa Ana River Trail, San Timoteo Trail, and other trails linking parks, regional trails, and open space areas.
No refunds of fees, because of the cumulative cash balance in the Open Space fund, are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
(250) Park Development Fund – Park development impact fees are levied for the purpose of acquiring and developing land for parks. The fees are established per the Redlands Municipal Code as noted above for Open Space. Fee amounts are set by Resolution No. 7951. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the Open Space and Parks fees are deposited into the Park Development Fund. The General Plan sets the policy on park development as one aimed towards creating and maintaining a high-quality, diversified park system that enhances Redlands’ unique attributes. The General Plan prescribes the parkland standard of 5 acres per 1,000 residents.
The following table shows the balances, receipts, and expenditures of the Park Development Fund for the current and last five fiscal years:

(2) Includes miscellaneous revenues/transfers of $635,613 that were received from Nevada Palmetto Grove sales proceeds and community donations of $38,723 to fund the construction of the Skate Park.
Impact fee revenue in this category consists of $294,300 in fees and $20,763 in investment income.
Disbursements during Fiscal Year 2022-23 totaled $321,930, including a payment of $64,839 in principle, $37,386 in interest, and $3,658 in fiscal agent fees associated with the State I-Bank loan for the Sports Park. In addition to this loan repayment for the Sports Park, this fund also made a payment of $207,768 for the unexpired portion of the term of the City’s field use agreement with American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO).
The City and AYSO entered into a Field Use and Youth Soccer Program Agreement for the Redlands Sports Park (“Agreement”) on March 4, 2008. The Agreement provided AYSO sole access to certain City soccer fields throughout the term of the Agreement. In exchange, among other things, AYSO was required to pay to the City a lump sum payment of $500,000, equivalent to $20,000 per year for each year under the 25-year Agreement (“Payment”). The Agreement indicates that these funds were applied toward reimbursing the City for the City’s costs in connection with construction of the fields at the City’s Sports Park, including construction of Sports Park restroom facilities. The Agreement requires the City to reimburse AYSO on a pro-rata basis, with interest, for the portion of the $500,000 representing the unexpired portion of the term of the Agreement, should the City terminate the Agreement early. On December 6, 2022, after providing notice of termination of the Agreement to AYSO, the City authorized reimbursement of $207,768 to AYSO (“Termination Fee”).
This termination fee was designed specifically to reimburse AYSO for its contribution of monies for park facilities that could have been funded with proceeds from the Park Development Impact Fee fund. Pursuant to Sections 3.32.010 and 3.32.050 of the Municipal Code, the Fee may be spent on “costs incurred by the city for acquiring, developing, improving and expanding…parks, playgrounds and recreational facilities…” and to “reimburse the city for expenditures previously made…” Other disbursements included payment of a construction retention of $2,393 for prior year projects involving pickleball court improvements and $5,886 in administrative charges.
No refunds of fees, because of the cumulative cash balance in the Park Development fund, are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES (251) Public Facilities Development Fund - Public Facilities Development Fees have been established per Redlands Municipal Code Chapter 3.60 with the purpose and intent of implementing the Redlands General Plan to ensure that public facilities and related improvements which satisfy City standards are sufficient and keep pace with needs that arise as new development occurs within the City. Fee amounts are set by Resolution No. 7951. Fees are collected from applicants for development projects to construct, improve, and maintain public facilities as identified in the City’s Development Impact Fee Justification Study, dated January 9, 2017.
Police Facilities
The purpose of this fee is to provide a revenue source that will provide funds to acquire vehicles, equipment, and facilities that will mitigate the impacts of new residential and non-residential development on the City’s Police resources. A complete listing of proposed facilities is contained within the City’s Development Impact Fee Justification Study, dated January 9, 2017.
The following table shows the balances, receipts, and expenditures of the Police Facilities Fee for the current and last five fiscal years:
2017-2018 2018-2019 2019-2020 2020-2021 2021-2022 2022-2023 Beg. Balance 422,566 428,533 440,922 464,906 471,706 493,582 Receipts 6,088 12,641 24,474 6,939 22,322 6,090

Ending Balance 428,532 440,922 464,906 471,706 493,582 499,550 Receipts consist of $6,090 in fees. Disbursements include $122 in administrative charges.
The current cash balance exceeds the cumulative fee collection over the past five years by $427,086.
As a result, the City must make a “finding” in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66006.
Findings:
Fees deposited into the Public Facilities Fund – Police Facilities category are to be used solely for costs related to police facilities, vehicles, and equipment. The largest cost, by far, will be the development of a new safety hall facility. The current buildings that house police staff are aged, not ADA-compliant, and represent barriers to effectively managing the department’s resources. As a result, plans have been underway to conceptualize and fund a new Safety Hall. In spring 2022, the City acquired a property at 1625 West Redlands Boulevard to retrofit into a new safety hall facility. The total project to convert this building into a new police facility is estimated to cost somewhere between $40 and 60 million dollars, including construction, commissioning, and furnishing. Impact fees will be used to help fund the retrofit project once it commences and their expenditure will reflect a portion of new development’s share in the cost of the new facility. The City anticipates drawing down the balance of Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 106 of 1429

No refunds are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
Fire Facilities
The purpose of this fee is to establish a revenue source that will provide funds to construct various Fire facilities and acquire equipment and vehicles that will mitigate the impacts of new residential and nonresidential development on the City’s Fire facilities. A complete listing of proposed facilities is contained within the City’s Development Impact Fee Justification Study, dated January 9, 2017.

Disbursements include $2,270 in administrative charges.
No refunds are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
Library Facilities
The library facility impact fees were established to provide a revenue source that will generate funds to acquire various library collection items and remodel/refurbish existing facilities that will mitigate the impacts of new residential development on the City’s Library facilities. Planned uses from the proceeds of these fees include the expansion of library collection items as well as the remodeling and refurbishment of existing facilities. Collection items include, but are not limited to, books, periodicals, newspapers, DVDs, e-books, etc.
Previously, impact fees collected for Library Facilities were also used to make contributions towards the annual debt service of the 2003 Lease Revenue Refunding Certificates of Participation (COP). The 2003 COPs refunded prior COPs that were used to finance major improvements to the Library’s facilities. The past fees collected were earmarked to pay debt service on these bonds, which matured in Fiscal Year 2017-2018 and are now designated to repay outstanding loans from the General Fund, as well as loans that were provided by the Storm Drain Construction, and Water funds. Those loans were Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 107 of 1429

Receipts consist of $25,616 in fees.
Disbursements include $229 in interest expense on its share of inter-fund loans noted above that were provided during Fiscal Year 2010-2011, $512 in administrative charges, and $24,875 repaid on outstanding loans from the Storm Drain and Water Funds.
As of June 30, 2023, outstanding loans total $3,727,937, with $3,711,847 owed to the General Fund, and $16,090 owed to the Water Fund. During fiscal year 2021-22, the outstanding loan from the Storm Drain Construction Fund in the amount of $58,078 was fully repaid by the Library Facilities category of Fund 251. As noted, these loans occurred when impact fee revenues were insufficient to cover the Library Facilities category 34% share of debt service on the 2003 Lease Revenue Refunding COPs.
Historically, no specific term or interest rate has been established for loans owed to the General Fund, however, when the City Council approved loans from the Storm Drain Construction Fund and Water Funds, they did so with the caveat that as sufficient impact fees become available, the non-General Fund loans would be repaid first, with interest set at the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) annual interest rate. For fiscal year 2022-2023, the interest rate was 2.33%. Because development impact fee revenue fluctuates and is difficult to forecast, there is no estimate for the date on which the remaining outstanding balances of the interfund loans will be repaid.
No refunds of fees are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
General Government Facilities
Impact fees for General Government Facilities were first established with the completion of the impact fee study performed in Fiscal Year 2006-2007 and implemented in August 2007, and the most recent fee justification study is the City’s Development Impact Fee Justification Study dated January 9, 2017.
The purpose of this fee is to establish a revenue source that will provide funds to purchase and install additional IT hardware and construct a government center/safety hall building and public parking facility that will mitigate the impacts of new residential and non-residential development on the City’s general government facilities.

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES The following table shows the balances, receipts, and expenditures, including loan activity, of the General Government Facilities Fee for the current and last five fiscal years:

Receipts consist of $138,580 in fees.
Disbursements include $138,809 in interest expense on its share of inter-fund loans provided during Fiscal Year 2010-2011 and $2,772 in administrative charges. This year, impact fee revenue was not sufficient to cover the interest accrued in this fee category was not sufficient to cover the interest expense. Therefore, an additional amount of $42,206 will be added to the loan payable, representing unpaid interest expenses accrued during the year. For fiscal year 2022-2023, the interest rate was
2.33%.
As of June 30, 2023, the remaining outstanding loan totals $3,978,694 and is owed to the General Fund.
Previous loans in place from the Open Space Fund (227) and Park Development Fund (250) have been repaid in full. As noted, these loans occurred when impact fee revenues were insufficient to cover the General Government Facilities category 60% share of debt service on the 2003 Lease Revenue Refunding COPs. When the City Council approved loans from the Open Space and Park Development Funds, they did so with the caveat that as sufficient impact fees become available, the non-General Fund loans would be repaid first, with interest set at the annual Local Agency Investment Fund rate.
Although no specific term or interest rate has historically been established for General Fund loans, in Fiscal Year 2010-2011 when non-General fund loans were made and interest approved on these loans at the Local Agency Investment Fund rate, interest was also applied in the same manner to the General Fund loan made in that year. Since that time, $232,033 in interest has been added to the General Fund loan principal balance, including an additional $178,015 that has been added for fiscal year 2022-2023.
For fiscal year 2022-2023, the Local Agency Investment Fund interest rate was 2.33%. Because development impact fee revenue fluctuates and is difficult to forecast, there is no estimate for the date on which this loan from the General Fund will be repaid.
No refunds of fees are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
Community Center Facilities
Community Center Facilities impact fees were established in Fiscal Year 2014-2015 and are collected using a replacement cost per capita for the City’s existing community centers as the basis for the fees.
The fees charged to future residential development are set at a level needed to maintain the existing level of service as the City grows. The purpose of these fee is to collect the proportion of new Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 109 of 1429

The current cash balance exceeds the cumulative fee collection over the past five years by $67,632. As a result, the City must make a “finding” in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66006.
Findings:
Fees deposited into the Public Facilities Fund – Community Center Facilities category are to be used solely for the purpose of costs related to adding community center space to maintain the current ratio of community center asset value to population.
The largest cost, by far, will involve the construction of a new community center. The cost estimate developed in 2016 to complete the construction of a new community center was $7,488,046 according to the most recent fee justification study - the City’s Development Impact Fee Justification Study, dated January 9, 2017. Timelines for completing this project are difficult to estimate due mainly to the significant costs and the unpredictability of the timing of adequate impact fee revenue.
No refunds are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
At June 30, 2023, the Public Facilities Fund has Advances Payable (Interfund Loans) to Other Funds for loans received as follows:
Advance Payable To:

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES As noted above, fees collected for Police, Fire, Library, and General Government Facilities have been collected and used to make contributions towards the annual debt service of the 2003 Lease Revenue Refunding Certificates of Participation (COP), which matured during Fiscal Year 2017-2018. The 2003 COPs refunded prior COPs that were used to finance Fire Station #3 (6% of total debt service), as well as Library Facilities (34% of total debt service) and the City Yard (60% of total debt service). In years when the revenue from these fee categories was insufficient to meet debt service obligations, the Public Facilities Fund was loaned amounts from the General Fund, Open Space, Park Development, Storm Drain Construction, and Water Funds. For fiscal year 2022-2023, the interest rate was 2.33%.
Because development impact fee revenue fluctuates and is difficult to forecast, there is no estimate for the date on which each loan will be repaid.
Transportation Fees
During Fiscal Year 2022-2023, Resolution No. 7951 prescribed the methodologies and amounts of Transportation fees. Impact fees in this category are intended to fund transportation improvements, including the following components: interchange improvements, railroad crossing improvements, improvements to regional arterials, and improvements to local streets. The first three components are intended to satisfy the requirement, pursuant to Measure I (2010-2041) and the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) Congestion Management Plan, that the City assess new development for its fair share of the cost of those improvements. The local street component is based on data provided by the City that represents the full cost of local street improvement projects needed entirely to serve future development. Allocations are established based on a weighted average for each improvement type based on cost. The City’s Development Impact Fee Study, dated January 9, 2017, estimated transportation improvement costs in each component category and allocated them according to the tables below.
Resolution No. 7701, DIF Study Jan. 2017
Fund 252 - Regional Arterial 43%
Fund 252 - RR Crossings 1%
Fund 252 - Local Streets 19%
Fund 253 - Signals 4%
Fund 254 - Interchanges 36%
These development impact fees are utilized in conjunction with revenue generated under the Measure “I” half-cent sales tax to fund regional transportation projects. These fees establish a revenue source that will provide funds to construct various transportation projects that will mitigate the impacts of new development on the City's circulation system. The uses to which the fees are to be put include the funding of new roadways within the City limits.

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES The project is intended to reduce congestion, improve safety, and improve traffic operations along University Street between Citrus Avenue and Central Avenue. The project includes new traffic signals at the I-10 eastbound off-ramp at University Street and the I-10 westbound on-ramp at University Street and street improvements within the project limits including drainage improvements, pavement construction, and landscaping replacement.
In addition to the University I-10 Interchange project, on February 16, 2016, the City entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to commence the alternative Interstate 10 – Alabama Street Interchange project. The project is designed to improve Interstate 10 at the Alabama Street Interchange between Orange Tree Lane and Industrial Park Avenue, with on and off-ramp widening, the addition of turning lanes, new pavement, and striping. As part of the MOU, funding responsibilities for the development of the estimated $10.96 million Project were delineated for the parties involved.
Per SBCTA's 10-Year Delivery Plan and SBCTA's Development Mitigation Nexus Study, the City, SBCTA, and County of San Bernardino have funding responsibilities for the Project. Specifically, SBCTA has
49.5% of the Public Share of funding responsibilities (~$5.26m) for the Project, and the City and County share the remaining 50.5% (~$5.70m) Development Share, with City responsible for 34.9% ~ ($1.99m) and County 65.1% (~$3.71m). In November 2016, City Council approved a Development Mitigation Cooperative Agreement with the County in order to memorialize the financial responsibilities between the City and County for their shared Development Share responsibilities.
In mid to late 2019, SBCTA approached City and County about cost increases identified during the design of the Project. The total project cost has risen from the original estimate of $10.96 million to a new estimate of $15.15 million, a rise of $4.19 million. With this new estimate, City costs for the Project have risen from $1,990,065 million to $2,506,921, an increase of ~$516,856. SBCTA has completed the construction of the project, which began in January 2022 and finished in December 2022.

Findings:
New development generates additional stormwater runoff by increasing the amount of land that is not penetrable to precipitation. Consequently, new development generates the need for, and benefits from, expanded storm drain facilities. Fees are to be used on the costs associated with the construction of regional and local facilities, based on the amount of estimated costs allocable to new development and new service population.
In 2014, the City adopted a Drainage Master Plan. The outlines scope and priority of various projects.
Timelines for completing these projects are difficult to estimate due mainly to each project’s significant costs and the unpredictability of the timing of adequate impact fee revenue.
The project list includes local and regional projects in terms of the City’s share, with a total estimated cost allocated to new development of $10,724,400.

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES During Fiscal Year 2022-2023, the current cash balance exceeds the cumulative fee collection over the past five years by $233,371. As a result, the City must make “findings” in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66006.
Findings:
The Water Source Acquisition Fund is intended to provide funds for the purchase of approved water stocks and rights, as set forth in the Redlands Municipal Code. As the City expands its housing stock and non-residential development, it is critical that the City plan on acquiring supplies sufficient, not just to serve development needs, but also to meet its annual groundwater recharge/replenishment requirements, which are affected by new development.
Most recently, this fund was used to repay the Water Fund (501) for an intra-fund loan. The intra-fund loan from the Water Fund (501) was for the purpose of purchasing 2,000 shares of Bear Valley Mutual Water Company Stock for $300,000, which was originally authorized as part of an agreement approved by the City Council on March 1, 2011. The cost to purchase water stock in Fund 508 is allocated in proportion to the benefit for new and existing users.
To date, the City’s 2022 Water Systems Master Plan has identified that, as service areas and demands grow, the City may need an additional five to six (5-6) million gallons daily of supply capacity to meet the peak hour demand in 2045. Plans to develop a strategy for water rights purchase is in development and the City anticipates adopting a plan of action during fiscal year 2025. To this end, the following sources for water rights and stocks have been identified. • West Redlands Water Company
• Redlands Water Company
• Crafton Water Company
• Redlands Heights Water Company
• Lugonia Water Company
• South Mountain Water Company
• Bear Valley Mutual Water Company

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES The current cash balance exceeds the cumulative fee collection over the past five years by $3,400,640.
As a result, the City must make “findings” in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66006.
Findings:
Monies collected into the Solid Waste Capital Improvements Fund, including the existing excess cash, are expected to be used for the developer-paid portion of major capital improvements. The project list includes capital improvement projects as well as capital equipment replacement, with a total estimated cost allocated to new development of approximately $2,060,000.
1. Phase V landfill expansion (FY 2025) –costs estimated at approximately $6 million. New Development Fair Share – 20% ($1,200,000).
2. Expansion of the landfill gas recovery & flare systems (FY 2025-2028) – these projects are necessary to provide extraction and collection on landfill expansion areas as well as capital improvement to the existing systems in order to maintain regulatory compliance with State and Federal requirements. Estimated costs depend on the scope of the project and are estimated at $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 for construction and engineering. New Development Fair Share – 20% per project ($300,000 - $400,000).
3. Landfill operation heavy equipment (ongoing) the projected expense for capital replacement of landfill equipment ranges from $1.5 to 2.3 million dollars and covers offroad vehicles such as Loaders, Scrapers and Compactors as well as on-road vehicles such as Fuel Trucks and Water Trucks. New Development Fair Share – 20% per project ($300,000 - $460,000).
The estimated time for completion of these projects and purchases is FY 2025 - 2028 for the landfill operation heavy equipment and the landfill gas recovery & flare systems. The completion of the Phase V landfill expansion is dependent on the rate at which the current phase is filled, but estimates indicate it may start as early as FY 2024, but it is more likely that the project will be started in FY 2025 and completed in FY 2026.
No refunds of fees are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

No refunds of fees are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2022-2023. (532) Nonpotable Capital Improvement Fund - The Nonpotable Capital Improvement Fund is established per the Redlands Municipal Code Chapter 3.53 to implement the Redlands General Plan and finance the construction of nonpotable capital facilities to provide added capacity required to serve new development requiring nonpotable water service from the City. Included are mains and appurtenances used to serve property frontage, and other capital facilities and appurtenances. Fee amounts are set by Resolution No. 7951.
The following table shows the balances, receipts, and expenditures of the Nonpotable Capital Improvement Fund for the current and last five fiscal years:

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES Disbursements include $343,992 expended on the design and preparation of plans and specifications for two recycled water reservoirs to be constructed at the City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant. The intent is to engineer two 1.5-million-gallon recycled water reservoirs at the Plant to store water for more beneficial use. The estimated timeline for completion for both reservoirs is the end of calendar year 2024.
For continuity, it is worth noting that with the conversion of the City’s financial accounting system, this fund was renumbered from Fund 539 Nonpotable Capital Improvement Fund to Fund 532 Nonpotable Capital Improvement Fund.
The current cash balance exceeds the cumulative fee collection over the past five years by $892,261.
As a result, the City must make “findings” in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66006.
Findings:
Monies collected into the Nonpotable Capital Improvements Fund, including the existing excess cash, are expected to be used for several projects that will enhance and expand the nonpotable water distribution system pressure zones. Specifically, major projects under evaluation include:
1. Construction of a nonpotable reservoir, booster station and pipeline needed to operate Pressure Zones 1350 and 1570. These two pressure zones are the City’s two lowest and, as such, are particularly sensitive to increases in demand from new growth and development. Cost estimates for the project total $4.8 million.
Because development impact fee revenue fluctuates and is difficult to forecast, there is no estimate for the date on which the project will be completed. At this time, no other sources of revenue are projected.
No refunds of fees are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS APPROVING THE CITY’S ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE REPORT AND
MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS WITH RESPECT THERETO
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 66006 requires local agencies that impose development impact fees upon development projects to deposit such fees in separate capital facilities accounts to avoid commingling of such fees with other revenues and funds of the local agency, and to expend those fees only for the purposes collected; and WHEREAS, for each separate capital facility account or fund established, the local agency shall, within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year, make available to the public the following information for the fiscal year:
A. A brief description of the fee;
B. The amount of the fee;
C. The beginning and ending fund balance of the account; D. The amount of the fees collected and the interest earned; E. The identification of the improvements on which the fees were expended, including the percentage of the cost of the public improvements funded with fees; F. The identification of the commencement construction date for incomplete improvements for which sufficient funds have been collected;
G. A description of each interfund transfer or loan, and the date of such loan, the repayment date, and the interest rate;
H. The amount of refunds of fees, if any made pursuant to Government Code Section 66001; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 66001 requires local agencies, for the fifth fiscal year following the first deposit of fees into an account or fund, and every five years thereafter, to make certain findings with respect to that portion of the account or fund remaining unexpended, whether committed or uncommitted; and
WHEREAS, the annual report reflecting the balance in each capital improvement fee account, the fee, interest, income, and the amount of expenditure upon public improvements, and the amount of refunds made for the fiscal year, if any, has been available for public review as required by law;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section1. The City Council hereby approves the Annual Report of Development Impact Fees for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 124 of 1429
2 I:\cmo\Resolutions\8538 Approving the City's Annual Development Impact Fee Report and Findings.docx-ms A. New development in the City will continue to generate additional demands on public facilities throughout the City, and will contribute to the impact upon existing public facilities.
B. There is reasonable relationship between the fees’ uses and the types of development for which the fees are charged, as these reasonable relationships are described in more detail in the City’s Development Impact Fee studies and improvement master plans.
C. There is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project upon which the fee is imposed.
D. The fees expected to be generated by new development will not exceed the costs for construction of the public facilities identified in the City’s improvement master plans and as set forth in the Developer Impact Fee study.
E. That the Annual Report identifies all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing for any incomplete improvements.
F. That the Annual Report designates the approximate dates on which fees are expected to be deposited for the financing of any incomplete improvements.

Notes: 1. Although the Public Facilities Development Fund is accounted for as a special revenue fund, each fee must be accounted for separately (Government Code Section 66001 et seq, commonly known as "AB 1600").
2. The fees collected for Fire Facilities, Library and City Yard were previously committed toward one-half of the annual debt service requirements of the 2003 Lease Revenue Refunding Certificates of Participation which refunded the 1993 Refunding of the 1986/87 Projects Certificates of Participation. Annual debt service on this one-half portion was charged to each of the three fees based upon an allocated share of the original proceeds used for acquisition and construction activities. The General Fund was responsible for the other half of the total annual debt service requirements. The debt was fully defeased in FY 2018-19. Loan amounts from the General Fund and Water Fund remain outstanding.
3. When fees collected for these three categories of public facilities were not sufficient to cover their share of the annual debt service, the General Fund made loans to each category as necessary. These loans are governed by Resolution No. 7354, the City's interfund loan policy.
4. In FY 2010-11, for one-time only, Council authorized loans from other specific funds to cover, as necessary, the public facilities share of debt service.
These loans, with interest at the annual LAIF rate, are to be repaid in proportion to the loan balances, before repayment to the General Fund.
Actual loans required were as follows: General Fund,$300,753; Open Space, $130,000: Park/Open Space Dev, $130,000; Storm Drain, $100,000; Water, $150.000.

City Council Meeting G. 11.
DATE: 12/19/2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with CASC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. for the California Street and Redlands Boulevard Intersection Widening Project to extend the time for completion to August 31, 2024, and determine that this amendment is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris)
MOTION(S):
If City Council determines the staff recommendation is appropriate, the following motions are provided:
I move that City Council determine that approval of the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with CASC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. for the California Street and Redlands Boulevard Intersection Widening Project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and
1. I move that City Council approve the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with CASC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. for the California Street and Redlands Boulevard Intersection Widening Project, to extend the time for completion to August 31, 2024.
2. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council determine that approval of the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with CASC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. to provide engineering services for the California Street and Redlands Boulevard Widening Project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality act, and approve the First Amendment to the Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 152 of 1429
Professional Services Agreement with CASC Engineering and Consulting, Inc.
DISCUSSION:
California Street and Redlands Boulevard are major corridors within the City's transportation network and their intersection serves as a western gateway into the City. The California Street and Redlands Boulevard Intersection Widening Project (Project) will construct a dedicated right turn lane on the northwest corner of the intersection for southbound California Street vehicles turning west onto Redlands Boulevard, widen the west side of California Street from the intersection to a point approximately 770 feet north, and install a reinforced concrete box culvert over a portion of the Mission Channel. The remainder of the intersection was fully improved by a multi-jurisdictional project executed by the Cities of Redlands and Loma Linda. On November 1, 2022, City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement (Agreement) with CASC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (CASC) to provide Project engineering services for an amount not-to-exceed $231,930.
In October 2023, San Bernardino County Flood Control District (County) staff proposed to expand the original Project scope of work to improve the entire culvert crossing within the Mission Channel to its ultimate condition. This change in scope would be entirely funded by the County, including the additional engineering phase and future construction costs. An Agreement is currently being developed by the County to reimburse the City for this additional engineering phase cost. This Agreement and a Second Amendment to the CASC Agreement will be presented for consideration at a future City Council meeting. For now, to mitigate delays in the current project, and ensure continuation of work once an Agreement is reached with the County, Staff recommends City Council approval of a First Amendment to the CASC Agreement to extend the completion term by eight (8) months to August 31, 2024.
Approval of the First Amendment to the CASC Agreement is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act since it can be seen with certainty that it will have no possibility for causing any significant effect on the environment.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may deny the staff recommendation and provide alternate direction.

SUBJECT: Approve the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Dudek for the Hinckley Water Treatment Plant Sludge Press Engineering Project to extend the time for completion to June 30, 2024 (Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris)
MOTION(S):
If City Council determines the staff recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to approve the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Dudek for the Hinckley Water Treatment Plant Sludge Press Engineering Project to extend the time for completion to June 30, 2024.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council approve the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Dudek for the Hinckley Water Treatment Plant Sludge Press Engineering Project.
DISCUSSION:
The Municipal Utilities and Engineering Department (MUED) produces and distributes potable water to approximately 22,000 customers within its service area. Water is produced at two (2) surface water treatment plants (WTP). The Hinckley WTP receives raw water primarily from the Santa Ana River, and the Tate WTP receives raw water primarily from Mill Creek. Hinckley WTP and Tate WTP both use various mechanical and chemical processes to remove sediment and organic debris from the raw water prior to disinfection. The byproduct of the sediment and debris removal process is a wet sludge that must be de-watered prior to disposal. The Hinckley WTP produces approximately 12,000 gallons of wet sludge from the sedimentation basins and 14,000 gallons of wet sludge from Redlands Regular meeting of 12-19-23 171 of 1429
wet sludge from the sedimentation basins and 14,000 gallons of wet sludge from the waste wash water recycling treatment plant each day. The current de-watering process is lengthy, labor-intensive, and requires the use of diesel-fueled heavy equipment to move the sludge as it dries. Typically, 2,400 cubic feet of dry sludge is produced each day. More advanced technologies exist that are capable of significantly expediting the wet sludge de-watering process and reducing operating costs.
In February 2022, MUED issued a Request for Proposals from qualified consultants to engineer sludge press equipment to be installed at the Hinckley WTP. City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Dudek for a not-to-exceed price of $354,820 on April 19, 2022, to provide this service. On December 6, 2022, City Council approved a First Amendment to the Agreement to extend the project completion date to December 31, 2023. Although Dudek has worked diligently and has made significant progress, the project will not be completed before this deadline due to field equipment placement and sizing conflicts. Alternative design solutions and time are needed to complete this project. Therefore, staff recommends City Council approval of a Second Amendment to the Agreement that will extend the project completion deadline to June 30, 2024. No other agreement revisions are proposed.
Approval of a Second Amendment to the Agreement is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act since it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this action will have a significant effect on the environment.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may deny the staff recommendation.

All bids exceed the Engineer's Opinion of Probable Cost for construction of the Project and the Traffic Signal Fund balance. Therefore, staff recommends that City Council reject all bids and direct staff to issue a new bid notice when funding is available. If approved, MUED staff will explore grant funding opportunities to supplement Project construction costs.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may elect to award the Project to the lowest bidder. However, this alternative is not recommended as all bids exceed the Engineer's Opinion of Probable Cost for construction and the available Traffic Signals Fund.

Contractor expressly waives all rights to subrogation against the City, its officers, employees and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by Contractor for City by expressly waiving Contractor’s immunity for injuries to Contractor’s employees and agrees that the obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless provided for in this Agreement extend to any claim brought by or on behalf of any employee of Contractor. This waiver is mutually negotiated by the parties. This shall not apply to any damage resulting from the sole negligence of City, its agents and employees. To the extent any of the damages referenced herein were caused by or resulted from the concurrent negligence of City, its agents or employees, the obligations provided herein to indemnify, defend and hold harmless are valid and enforceable only to the extent of the negligence of contractor, its officers, agents and employees.
Subcontractors. The prime contractor shall include all subcontractors as insureds under its policies or shall furnish separate certificates and endorsements from each subcontractor.
The Contractor shall not assign or sublet the contract, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the City, nor shall the contractor assign any monies due to, or to become due to, Contractor hereunder without prior written consent of the City.
The Contractor shall be fully responsible to the City for the acts and omissions of the subcontractor and persons either directly or indirectly employed by the Contractor. Consent to subcontracting part of the work shall, in no way, release the Contractor from responsibility for performance of the work, and Contractor will be held, in all respects, accountable for the same as if no consent had been given. The Contractor shall give personal attention to this work which is sublet. Nothing contained in the contract documents shall create any contractual relation between any subcontractor and the City.
Hold Harmless and Indemnification. Contractor shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend City and its elected officials, agents and employees and the Consultant from and against any and all claims, losses or liability, including attorney’s fees, arising from injury or death to persons or damage to property occasioned by any act, omission or failure to act of Contractor, its subcontractors, and any officers, agents and employees in performing the work required by this Agreement. Contractor’s obligations under this provision shall not be limited in any way by any terms of this Agreement, or the insurance limits.

In addition, no contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project (submitted on or after March 1, 2015 or awarded on or after April 1, 2015) unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5.
Contractors shall submit proof of registration status with their bid submission to the City of Redlands. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.
6. SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITIES:
In accordance with applicable provisions of State law, the Contractor will be permitted to substitute qualified securities in lieu of retention of withheld progress payments by the Owner.
7. SUBCONTRACTORS:
Pursuant to Section 4105 of the California Public Contract Code, the bidder may not circumvent the requirement to list subcontractors by the device of listing one subcontractor, who in turn sublets portions constituting a majority of the work covered by the contract.
A. Pursuant to California Government Code section 4106, subcontractors who will perform work or labor or render services in an amount in excess of one-half of one percent of the Contractor’s total bid shall be set forth in a list of subcontractors within the bid documents. Such list shall be accompanied by an experienced statement with pertinent information regarding similar projects and other evidence of qualifications for each such subcontractor, supplier, individual, or entity if requested by City. If City or engineer, after doing an investigation, has reasonable objection to any proposed subcontractor, supplier, individual, or entity, City may, before the notice of award is given, request the apparent successful bidder to submit a substitute, without an increase in the bid.
B. If the apparent successful bidder declines to make any such substitution, City may award the contract to the next lowest bidder that proposes to use acceptable subcontractors, suppliers, individuals, or entities declining to make the request and substitutions will not constitute grounds for forfeiture of the bid security of any bidder. Any subcontractor, supplier, individual or entity so listed and against which City makes no written objection prior to the giving of the notice of award will be deemed acceptable by City subject to verification of such assessments after the effective date of the agreement as provided herein.
8. NON DEBARRED CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS
The Contractor and all of its subcontractors shall, at the time of bid opening and for performance of this public works contract, be non-debarred contractors and not be ineligible Contractors pursuant to Public Contract Code section 6109 and Labor Code sections 1777.1 and 1777.7.

Material submitted after the Bid Protest Deadline will not be considered. The protest must refer to the specific portion or portions of the Contract Documents upon which the protest is based.
