C.
Award of Professional Services Agreement with Emergency Planning Consultants to Update the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) The Federal Disaster Management Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) requires every local, county, and state government to have an approved Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. In addition to minimizing the impact of major hazard events on the community, completion of the Plan also maintains eligibility for future hazard mitigation funding following any significant disaster. As a result of the DMA 2000 legislation, hazard mitigation is now considered to be the first step in preparing for emergencies, rather than the final step in recovery.
The City’s current LHMP is reaching the end of its five-year lifecycle and is set to expire next year. The City issued a Request for Proposals ("RFP") and received five (5) proposals from qualified firms. Upon further review and evaluation of the proposals, it is recommended that the City Council authorize and direct the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Emergency Planning Consultants in the amount of $45,000 for the preparation and adoption of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Recommendation:
That the City Council authorize and direct the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Emergency Planning Consultants in the amount of $45,000 for the preparation and adoption of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.

Approve Resolution No. 2022-59, Amending the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget and Award of Construction Contract with HQE Systems Inc., for Citywide Access Control and Security Camera System Upgrade Project The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Capital Improvement Plan and General Services operating budgets include $175,000 for the implementation of an access control system and $150,000 for security camera system replacement, respectively, for a total budget of $325,000. On September 1, 2022, the City Manager’s Office published Bid No. 2022-25, requesting proposals from qualified vendors to furnish and install an integrated Access Control and Camera System ("ACCS") at twelve (12) City facilities. The City received six (6) proposals by the submittal deadline and after comprehensive review, HQE Systems Inc. ("HQE") was determined to be the lowest responsive bid; however, all qualified proposals received exceeded the City’s budget for this project.
Recommendation:
That the City Council determine that this action does not constitute a project and is, therefore, exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"); authorize and direct the City Manager to execute a construction contract with HQE Systems Inc., in the amount of $413,653.92; and adopt Resolution No. 2022-59, entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 BUDGET AND AUTHORIZING A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION FROM THE STATE AND LOCAL FISCAL RECOVERY FUND RESERVE IN THE AMOUNT OF $88,654 TO FUND THE ACCESS CONTROL AND CAMERA SYSTEM UPGRADE PROJECT Staff Report

Discussion on FiberCity
At the March 8, 2022, City Council meeting, SiFi Networks (SiFi) provided a presentation on their FiberCity brand. FiberCity is a privately owned fiber optic network that provides gigabit speed internet service to every property within a city. Through FiberCity, SiFi constructs and maintains fiber optic infrastructure and leases the infrastructure to internet service providers (ISPs), creating additional and improved broadband internet service options for the community. At the March 22, 2022, City Council meeting, Council Member Dang requested staff to agendize the FiberCity item for further discussion. Staff has performed a preliminary evaluation of FiberCity, and the services provided by the City’s current ISPs. The results of the evaluation include a comparison of current ISP broadband internet services rates and proposed FiberCity rates, a summary of the potential benefits and costs for the City to implement FiberCity, and outreach to cities that are currently implementing FiberCity.

That the City Council discuss this item and provide direction to staff.
