APPENDIX B
FCC Payment Split with Agency
Fire Agencies - Payment is based on the number of FTES (Full-Time Equivalent Student) generated by the training hours submitted. One FTES is equal to 525 contact hours, which are SO-minute hours. To calculate the number of FTES that the agency is paid for, we take the number of training hours and convert that into the number of contact hours (SO-minute hours). We then divide that number by 525 to get the total number of FTES. The State of California pays an apportionment rate per FTES. We split that with the agency 60/40.
Fire Agency Example:
Total Agency Trainings Hours to
Training Hours Contact Hours Contact Hours to FTES FTES to Apportionment 1000 1000 x 60 / 50 = 1200 1200 / 525 = 2.28 2.28 X ($4840 X 60%) = $6,621.12 (gross revenue)
Fire agency students are awarded college units based on the number of training hours they complete. Units are calculated by converting the training hours into contac;t hours, and the contact hours into units. There are 54 contact hours in one unit. Units are always rounded down.
Gross Revenue -
Total Training Hours Contact Hours to Registration Fees = Net to Contact Hours Total Units Units to Registration Fees Revenue 100 x 60 / 50 = 120 120 / 54 = 2.22 rounded to 2.00 X $46.00 = $92.00 $6,621.12 - $92.00 =
2.00 $6,529.12
Police Agencies - Payment is based on the number of units completed by students taking ISA courses. Each ISA course has a unit value. Units are converted into contact hours, and contact hours are converted to FTES. One unit equals 54 contact hours, and there are 525 contact hours in one FTES.
Police Agency Example:
Total Agency Training Units to
Training Units Contact Hours Contact Hours to FTES FTES to Apportionment 100 100 X 54 = 5400 540• / s2s = 10.28 10.28 X ($4840 X 60%) = $29,853.12 (gross revenue)
Units to Registration Fees Gross Revenue - Registration Fees = Net Revenue 100 X $46.00 = $4,600 $29,853.12 - $4,600 = $25,253.12
The apportionment amount changes annually and is based on the state budget. The amount is available on the California Community College Chancellor's Office website.

TITLE: APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A ONEYEAR SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT WITH LEXIPOL FOR THE CORDICO SHIELD LAW ENFORCEMENT WELLNESS APP.
SUBMITTED: Jose L. Garza(J n_
Chief of Police -rrv
APPROVED: Nicole R. Zieba
City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the adoption of Lexipol's Cordico wellness solution, a comprehensive app designed to support the mental health and well-being of personnel in high-stress occupations, including law enforcement. The Cordico app offers confidential, on-demand access to wellness resources, aiming to mitigate the effects of stress and exposure to critical incidents. Adoption of this solution aligns with the department's commitment to strengthening our wellness culture and addressing the barriers that prevent personnel from seeking the help they need.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Personnel in the police department, similar to others in high-risk industries, face constant stress and exposure to traumatic events. These conditions can have profound effects on their mental health and overall well-being. However, cultural stigmas and lack of access to trusted resources often deter staff from seeking help. This not only affects their personal lives but also their professional performance and the safety of the community.
Approximately 90% of personnel nationwide report a cultural stigma against seeking help for mental health issues, contributing to a reluctance to reach out for support. Around 80% nationwide fear being perceived as weak or unfit for duty, further discouraging them from accessing wellness resources. About 75% of law enforcement personnel nationwide have not used Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services, and 60% found EAP services unhelpful when they did use them.
The proposed Lexipol's Cordico wellness solution is specifically designed to overcome these challenges by providing:
• Confidential, On-Demand Access: Personnel and their family members can access wellness resources anytime, anywhere, ensuring privacy and convenience. • Comprehensive Wellness Resources: The app includes self-assessments, videos, guides, and articles on over 60 health topics developed by leading experts. • Customization and Integration: We can incorporate agency-specific content and one-touch access to our peer support team, therapists, and chaplains. • Continuous Updates and Support: Cordico offers a commitment to 5-star customer service for implementation and ongoing support.
Not only does Lexipol's Cordico provide solutions to the stigma of mental health, but it also allows for the following areas to be improved within the department:
• Enhanced Mental Health and Well-being: Provides essential tools and resources to support the mental health of our personnel.
• Reduced Stigma: Encourages a shift in culture by offering a private way for personnel to seek help, addressing the stigma associated with mental health. • Increased Accessibility: Makes it easier for personnel to access helpful resources, potentially increasing the use and effectiveness of wellness initiatives. • Agency at the Forefront of Wellness: Positions our agency as a leader in supporting the health and well-being of its members.
The adoption of the Cordico wellness solution represents a significant step forward in the department's commitment to the health and well-being of personnel. By addressing the common barriers to seeking help and providing a comprehensive suite of wellness resources, the police department can foster a more supportive, resilient, and effective workforce.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost for a one-year subscription to the Cordico Wellness App is $4,749.05. This subscription provides the agency's personnel with access to a comprehensive suite of mental health and wellness resources tailored to the needs of first responders and others in high-stress occupations. The Reedley Police Department has been awarded $25,000 in state grants in 2023, specifically for the enhancement of officer wellness programs. This grant allocation is intended to support initiatives that directly contribute to the mental health and well-being of our officers. The subscription cost represents a portion of the total grant, with the remaining funds to be allocated toward other wellness initiatives as part of the comprehensive officer wellness program.

3 Law enforcement officers, firefighters, dispatchers
and other public safety personnel are tasked with
handling the most high-risk, urgent and dangerous
events in our communities. They 'respond routinely
to incidents most people never experience
firsthancl-suicides, murders, accidents, natural
disasters, violence committed against children,
sexual offenses, violentindividuals, noncompliant
suspects, people in the throes of crisis. The job
carries the constant potential for injury and risk to
safety and security.
Public safety and local government leaders and
elected officials have a great opportunity to.
support the wellness of the first responders we
trust to provide the most urgent, critical and highstakes service to the community. The key lies in delivering confidential, immediately accessible
resources that are customized for the issues first
responders face.
Fortunately, doing just that is not only possible, it's surprisingly· cost-effective.
Public Safety Wellness
Challenges
First responders pay a price for their dedication
to their profession. They experience high rates
of suicidal ideation, post-traumatic stress and
depression; in nationwide surveys, firefighters and
officers overwhelmingly report stress on the job
has impacted their mental health.=
The effects are physical, too; 70% of firefighters
are obese or overweight; 40% of police
officers are obese and 80% are overweight 4
•
5 Complications from shift work compound the
issues: Nearly 40% of firefighters screen positive
for sleep disorders,6 while fatigue has been
shown to affect police officer decision making and

While many municipalities and counties offer
wellness services through an Employee
Assistance Program, these are often inadequate
for the unique stressors of a public safety career.
First responders overwhelmingly report cultural
stigmas that create a barrier to most seeking
help for emotional and behavioral issues. And
when they do seek help, 60% of officers and
firefighters say the wellness resources provided
to them through Employee Assistance Programs
are not helpful.'-2
Hidden Costs of First Responder
Mental Health Issues
Simply knowing that we are taking good care of
our personnel-doing the right thing to support
them-is motivation enough for most agency
and local government leaders. But there also are
strong qualitative reasons to proactively address
first responder wellness.
In fact, there are five areas where your agency
may be spending large sums of money related to
first responder mental health without realizing it:
1. Overtime costs that rack up when
personnel are out on sick leave or disability
as a result of untreated mental health issues
2. Worker's compensation costs involving
post-traumatic stress syndrome (many
states now consider PTSD as presumptive
for first responders)
3. High healthcare costs as a result of the
physical impacts of stress, which can
include cardiac issues, diabetes, obesity,
substance abuse and sleep issues
4. Costs associated with personnel
complaints, lawsuits and settlements that
may be a result of poor decision-making
by personnel suffering from lack of sleep,
burnout or compassion fatigue
5. Turnover costs-including recruiting,
training and equipping new personnelwhen first responders choose to leave the agency due to chronic stress or feeling
unsupported
As noted above, current support mechanisms
for first responders are largely insufficient.
Municipalities remain at significant financial risk if
relying upon existing support resources.

The Wellness Solution for Public
Safety: Corcllico
Cordico's mobile wellness app provides a
complete range of self-assessments as well as
continuously updated videos and guides on more
than 60 health and lifestyle management topics.
This unique wellness solution meets three critical
criteria necessary to overcome the stigma of
asking for help and address the cumulative effects
of chronic stress on first responders:
•
Confidential - First responders must
have trust that they can access resources
in a completely confidential manner that
will not have an impact on their careers. Cordico's
apps work through a generic link and generic
password. There is no personal data tied to app
(although we can provide aggregate data to help
N i I 44- - •
CORDI CD" ,
leaders judge overall use or identify trends in
resource usage). • Customized - Resources provided to
first responders must reflect the realities
of their jobs. Cordico's assessments,
articles and videos are developed by first
responder psychologists and are specifically
tailored for public safety personnel. We also help
agencies tailor their apps with agency-specific
content or training and links to local resources.
•
Accessible - Public safety is a 24/7
business; first responders must be able
· to access resources quickly, easily and at
any time of day. By delivering our content through
an app, we provide one place for personnel to
access all the wellness content the agency offers,
available 24/7. Options include one-touch access
to peer support and chaplains, teletherapy and a
therapist finder.
The many benefits of implementing the Cordico
app include:
• Demonstrating strong city/county support for
the wellness of their first responders
Providing in-hand, on-demand, easy access to
a multitude of high-quality wellness tools and
confidential resources specifically for public
safety personnel
• Providing easier access to existing support
mechanisms (e.g., peer support, therapists
and local healthcare resources)
• Increasing utilization of a wide range of
wellness support resources to promote a
healthier workforce
• Improving recruitment, retention and morale
and reducing absenteeism
Implementation of the Cordico apps has been
associated with higher rates of utilization
of support resources, the development of
stronger wellness support options, and strong
positive feedback regarding the program at all
organizational levels.
Cordico Wellness
App Investment
First responder wellness requires an investment,
but the costs of the Cordico app are projected
to be more than offset by savings in the form of
improved employee wellness, lower employee
stress, improved morale, decreased absenteeism
and increased retention.
The annual subscription covers:
• App build, design, licensing, maintenance,
technical support and ongoing updates
(iPhone and Android)
• Unlimited use to all personnel employed by
the agency
Unlimited use at no cost to all spouses and
significant others of personnel employed by
the agency
• Unlimited use at no cost for all department
retirees
• Implementation and support for promoting the
app to agency personnel, including posters,
QR codes for easy phone installation, and a
customized PowerPoint presentation for shift
briefings or roll call. These resources have
resulted in a 90% app installation rate.
