CITY OF SALINAS

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JUNE 17, 2025
DEPARTMENT: FINANCE DEPARTMENT
FROM: SELINA ANDREWS, FINANCE DIRECTOR
BY: CARLOS ORTEGA, INFORMATION SYSTEMS MANAGER
TITLE: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES
WITH AMS.NET, JOHNSON ELECTRONICS, AND MJ

COMMUNICATIONS FOR SECURITY CAMERAS AND ACCESS

CONTROLS
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to approve a Resolution delegating authority to the City Manager, to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with AMS.NET Inc., Johnson Electronics Inc., and MJ Communications Inc. for the design, build, installation and maintenance of security cameras and access control systems at certain City owned facilities to extend the term for an additional two (2) years, amend the scope of services, and increase the total compensation by $500,000 for a total not to exceed amount of $1,500,000.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On June 18, 2024, the City Council awarded AMS.NET Inc., Johnson Electronics Inc., and MJ Communications Inc. an agreement for the design, build, installation, and maintenance of security cameras and access controls in the amount not to exceed $1,000,000 for a one-year term with an option to extend two (2) additional years. Staff is requesting the extension to the Agreement for the additional two (2) years, plus the addition of scope to include structured, audio, and video cabling and to increase the total compensation by $500,000 for a total not to exceed amount of $1,500,000.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Salinas Information Technology Division currently manages and maintains camera and physical security systems throughout various facilities. Existing systems have reached the end of service life and are no longer supported by vendors or lack advanced features that are critical to the safety and security of personnel. The City has identified the need to update antiquated hardware and retrofit traditional keyed doors with electronic door strikes and key card access. Continued implementation of these systems will allow for the creation and enforcement of advanced authentication and access controls to ensure secure and reliable access to City facilities for Page | 2
personnel and constituents. Upon acceptance of an Agreement, the City will coordinate work based on project scope and availability of contracted resources.

On May 9, 2024, the City of Salinas Information Technology Division released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Security Cameras & Access Control Systems. The RFP was to establish a City-wide Agreement to design, build, install, and maintain Verkada security cameras and access controls in various locations throughout the City.

On June 18, 2024, the Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with AMS.NET, Johnson Electronics, and MJ Communications for the design, build, procurement, and maintenance of security cameras and access controls for a one-year term with an option to extend two (2) additional years.

The City relies upon professional services to evaluate existing security systems throughout various facilities and make recommendations based on industry standards, security needs, and standardization efforts. The City and three contractors, listed under the agreement, have established a strong working relationship allowing the City to implement security controls in a systematic fashion to modernize security efforts in alignment with industry recommended best practices and standards. The current agreement is set to expire on June 30, 2025. Therefore, staff is requesting authorization for the City Manager to extend the agreement for an additional two (2) years and amend the agreement to include the procurement and installation of structured, audio, and video cabling. Additionally, staff is requesting authorization for the City Manager to increase the total compensation by $500,000 for a total not to exceed amount of $1,500,000.

CITY OF SALINAS

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JUNE 17, 2025
DEPARTMENT: ADMINISTRATION
FROM: LISA MURPHY, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
TITLE: MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) WITH THE

COUNTY OF MONTEREY FOR MOBILE CRISIS SERVICES
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to approve a resolution delegating authority to the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the County of Monterey for the Mobile Crisis Services Program in an amount not to exceed $390,000 for July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In 2023 the Salinas City Council made the creation and implementation of a mobile crisis unit a priority initiative. To meet that objective, the Salinas Fire Department collaborated with the County of Monterey for a one-year pilot Mobile Crisis Services Program. The Pilot Program was meant to enhance crisis response and intervention services to individuals and families within the City of Salinas through a collaborative effort. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was extended for an additional six-months, expiring on June 30, 2025. This action will extend the MOU for an additional year. The annual cost to the City will be $390,000.

BACKGROUND:

The Program is a collaborative effort between the City and the County of Monterey to provide vital mental health services to those in crisis. The primary goal of the Program is to provide inperson risk and safety assessments, crisis intervention, and follow-up services to people in need within the city of Salinas. The proposed MOU is effective from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.

The Mobile Crisis Field Response Team, provided by Sierra Mental Wellness Group, and managed by the County of Monterey, offers face-to-face crisis response, triage, and stabilization services to individuals and families in the city of Salinas. The Programs provides a non-law enforcement response to those in a non-violent mental or behavioral health crisis, improves community wellness, and provide crisis intervention services. The MOU outlines the procedures for mobile crisis responders, including arrival times, encounter components, and service restrictions in certain Page | 2
settings. The contracted agency is co-located at the Community Crisis Services office in Salinas, serving residents using an outpatient services model.

Funding provides for a two-person mobile crisis team 40-hours per week specifically to provide mobile crisis response in the City to augment the mobile crisis services provided regionally and countywide. The additional team funded by this project is operational Monday – Friday from 0800 to 1700 hours and was activated on January 1, 2024. This aligns with MCBH’s expansion of mobile crisis services countywide to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Monterey County Behavioral Health (MCBH), Sierra Mental Wellness Group (SMWG), and Seneca Family of Agencies collectively comprise the mobile crisis response teams in Monterey County and employ a range of personnel including licensed / license eligible clinicians, mental health rehabilitation specialists, and peers with lived experience who respond in two-person teams to crisis calls in the community.

In the first quarter of 2025, there were a total of 340 mobile crisis requests for service in the City of Salinas. This equates to 72% of all calls Countywide. In calendar year 2024, countywide, there were 6,650 calls received by the crisis line, of which 1,579 crisis calls required a response by the team, of which 834 were for the (53%) City of Salinas.

Continuation of this program will ensure members of our community will have a resource to respond during a crisis. If the council chooses not to renew the MOU, the city will lose the dedicated team to the city. Response to calls will still be provided, however there is one team for the remainder of the County of Monterey, thus resulting in extended response times for calls to the City.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project. The City Council’s consideration and approval of the proposed Memorandum of Understanding is not a project subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:

No, Government Code §84308/ Levine Act does no apply to this item as contracts between governmental agencies are exempt.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

Page | 3
This MOU supports the City Council’s Vision and Strategic Goals of Public Safety and Effective and Culturally Responsive Government.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

The Salinas Fire Department previously led the efforts in negotiation and completion of the original MOU for the City of Salinas. Going forward, the City Manager’s office with the assistance from both the Fire and Police Departments will coordinate efforts to implement and monitor this program.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

Funding is included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Proposed Budget and is subject to appropriation by City Council.

MOBILE CRISIS IN-PERSON RESPONSE

CITY OF SALINAS
(July1, 2025- June 30, 2026)
I. PROGRAM NARRATIVE

1. Mobile Crisis Field Response Team (MCFRT) provides face-to-face field-based behavioral health crisis response, triage, and stabilization to individuals and families who are experiencing an acute behavioral health crisis. The Mobile Crisis Field Response Team will provide in-person risk and safety assessments and crisis intervention; collaborate with existing treatment team members; provide linkage for those individuals in need of further behavioral health services, coordinate with emergency response (40 hours per week, work schedule to be determined by COUNTY and may be subject to change based on community needs); and provide follow up services in the City of Salinas. The clinical threshold for crisis may include aggressive behaviors; suicide attempts/ideation; drug and alcohol overdose or abuse; disruptive symptoms related to thought, mood, and anxiety disorders; escalating behavior(s) and, without immediate intervention, the individual is likely to require a higher intensity of services. It may also present as an overt change in functioning or be prompted by traumatic life events.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) identifies mobile crisis services as a critical component of an effective behavioral health crisis continuum of care. The purpose of the Mobile Crisis Field Response is to provide a rapid face-to-face response to persons who are experiencing a behavioral health crisis and execute a brief crisis assessment to evaluate the persons status with the goal of mitigating any immediate risk of danger to self or others, determining a short-term strategy for restoring stability, and identifying appropriate follow-up care.

Such services are to be provided at the physical location where the person is currently located or at an alternate mutually agreed upon safe and secure location in the community.

The Mobile Crisis Field Response Team is a required service by the Department of Healthcare Services (DHCS) to be available for Medi-Cal eligible beneficiaries by December 31, 2023, Behavioral Health Information Notice (BHIN 23-025) outlines the minimum program requirements. This Program works hand in hand with the COUNTY’s 24/7 Mobile Crisis Dispatch.

DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER
FROM: LISA MURPHY, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
TITLE: AGREEMENT WITH FUTURE CITIZENS FOUNDATION DBA

THE FIRST TEE OF MONTEREY COUNTY RELATED TO THE

TWIN CREEKS GOLF COURSE
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to approve a resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign an agreement between the City of Salinas and the Future Citizens Foundation (dba The First Tee of Monterey County) related to the Twin Creeks Municipal Golf Course Sublease to extend the term for one (1) year through June 30, 2026, with an option to extend the term for an additional five (5) years.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Agreement between the City and Future Citizens Foundation will expire on June 30, 2025.

Authorizing the Agreement for one additional year under the same terms and conditions, with an option to extend the term for an additional five (5) years, will allow the City and the Future Citizens Foundation to continue discussions regarding the future of the property and associated programs.

BACKGROUND:

The Twin Creeks Golf Course was built in FY 98/99 and was operated by the City of Salinas until 2004 when the City leased it to the Monterey Peninsula Foundation and its related foundation, the Future Citizens Foundation, doing business as The First Tee of Monterey County (TFTMC). The Lease Agreement was amended in 2012 to reduce the rent based on hardship to continue operations by the TFTMC. In 2015, TFTMC and the City renegotiated the terms and conditions of the Lease Agreement for a second time, which significantly reduced the lease payments and extended the lease for an additional 20 years until June 30, 2025. The 2015 City Council Agenda Report is attached for further details.

The City and TFTMC have been engaged in discussions regarding the future of the golf course and associated programs. These discussions are still ongoing with the hope of reaching an agreement in the near future. Because discussions have not been concluded, staff recommends extending the existing lease for one additional year under the same terms and conditions including the annual rent of $60,000. Under the extension, TFTMC will have one option to extend the term of the Sublease for an additional five (5) years upon written notice provided to the City at least six Page | 2
(6) months before the expiration of the one-year extension. However, discussions continue so there is the possibility that an updated extension may be presented at the Council meeting for consideration.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:

Yes, The Government Code §84308/ Levine Act does apply to this project.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

The extension of this lease supports the Council Strategic “Infrastructure” goal to “Continue to Invest in recreational and public facilities to support our community” as well the “Youth and Seniors” goal to “Improve , expand and develop youth and senior facilities and programs”. ..

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

The City Manager’s office coordinated this report with the City Attorney’s office.

BY AND BETWEEN

CITY OF SALINAS AND

FUTURE CITIZENS FOUNDATION,

A CALIFORNIA NON-PROFIT CORPORATION
RELATED TO TWIN CREEKS MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE SUBLEASE (2015) (2025 SUBLEASE EXTENSION)
This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made by and between the City of Salinas, a California charter city and municipal corporation (“City”) and the Future Citizens Foundation, a California nonprofit corporation and licensee of the First Tee division of the World Golf Foundation, dba The First Tee of Monterey County (“TFTMC”).

RECITALS
A. Pursuant to a Sublease Agreement for operation of a Youth Golf Learning Center executed by TFTMC on November 5, 2004 (“Sublease Agreement”) TFTMC subleases and operates the City’s Twin Creeks Municipal Golf Course (“Twin Creeks”) for a youth character development program through the operation of a youth golf facility and learning center and fee based public golf course.

B. Pursuant to the Sublease Agreement, TFTMC agrees to provide a youth golf facility and learning center operation which compares favorably to the services, standards, and practices of similar youth character development programs as set forth in the Sublease Agreement.

C. Pursuant to a Services Agreement entered into in 2015 (“the 2015 Services Agreement”), the parties hereto agreed to an extension of the term of the Sublease to June 30, 2025 (inclusive of extensions at the option of TFTMC) and to a reduction of the payments under the Sublease to $60,000 per year for the period set forth in Section 1 of the 2015 Services Agreement. TFTMC did not exercise its option to extend the Sublease pursuant to Section 1 of the 2015 Services Agreement, consequently, the Sublease Agreement is set to expire on June 30, 2025. The parties, however, desire to extend the term of the Sublease for one (1) year (the “Extended Term”) with such Extended Term commencing on July 1, 2025, and ending on June 30, 2026.

BY: Jim Pia, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: TWIN CREEKS GOLF COURSE AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving the Agreement between the City of Salinas and the Future Citizens Foundation regarding the Twin Creeks Municipal Golf Course Sublease.

DISCUSSION:

Background
The Twin Creeks Golf Course was built during fiscal year 1998-1999, at a cost of $8,221,604.

The project was funded using 1999 City of Salinas Certificates of Participation (Certificates) Series A-1999, issued by the Salinas Public Financing Authority. After construction, the golf course began operations in fiscal year 1999-2000. During the four years of City operation, the course operated at a loss, requiring subsidies from the City's General Fund of nearly two million dollars.

Due to this ongoing City subsidy to golf operations, and the need to significantly reduce the City's budget during fiscal year 2004-05, the City entered into exclusive negotiations in June 2004 with the Monterey Peninsula Foundation and its related foundation, the Future Citizens Foundation, doing business as The First Tee of Monterey County (TFTMC).

On August 24, 2004, the City Council authorized a sublease between the City and the Future Citizens Foundation for the Twin Creeks Golf Course; however, a change in bond financing was required for Twin Creeks. Thus, on October 12, 2004, the Council authorized the Issuance of Refunding Certificates of Participation for the 1999 bonds. On September 14, 2005, the Salinas Public Financing Authority issued City of Salinas Refunding Certificates of Participation Series 2005A, in the amount of $8,005,000, to refund the portion of the 1999 Certificates attributed to Twin Creeks. With the closing of that financing, the sublease agreement with TFTMC was finalized. The 2005A Certificates were issued for 24 years at 4.22%, expire on September 1, 2030, and are secured by a lien on the Twin Creeks golf course. In September 2015, the bonds may be called and refinanced without any prepayment penalty.

REPORT TO THE

CITY COUNCIL
City of Salinas, California
- 2 -
In recent years, the TFTMC operation has experienced significant and unsustainable golf course operating losses. Rounds of Golf have been in the low to mid 10,000's versus projections of the low 40,000's by the City at the time of the initial lease. Revenue has come in at $225,000 to $475,000, with annual expenditures, however, exceeding $2 million dollars, including their lease payment to the City. As a result, and in accordance with the existing sublease agreement, they have given the City of Salinas a one year written notice that they will terminate the sublease agreement at the end of June 2015. Staff has met with representatives of the Future Citizens Foundation to review the alternatives on how best to proceed. The Future Citizens Foundation representatives have indicated that they would like to continue their worthwhile efforts with the Salinas program but would require assistance. Additionally, the City does not have resources to take back Twin Creeks.

TFTMC has requested a permanent, long-term sublease payment reduction from $125,000 to $60,000.

After significant discussion, the most cost effective alternative, without eliminating the level of service to the thousands of youth participants, is to agree to an intermediate term sublease payment reduction.

Staff believes that the best option for the City is to continue with the existing public/private partnership.

TFTMC has agreed to continue operations if this Agreement is authorized. City staff and TFTMC have tentatively agreed to this solution, which includes a payment reduction beginning in Fiscal Year 2015- 16 and running for 10 years, with two 5-year options, for a total of 20 years. The Agreement also calls for the Future Citizens Foundation developing and building a Salinas Learning Center to be located at the Twin Creeks Golf Course. It is anticipated that this project will cost $1 million dollars and bring approximately 5,000 square feet of classroom space. Following City Council approval the Ambac Assurance Corporation and the County of Monterey would also have to consent.

Pay It Forward Scholarship and Mentoring Program
On February 2, 2013, the California State University Monterey Bay through its university Corporation (UCMB) transferred to the Future Citizens Foundation (FCF) all rights, title or interest in the Pay It Forward Scholarship and Mentoring Program (PIF). This included all rights in names or styles relating to the Program, it being the intent of the parties that FCF shall own outright the interest, rights and assets belonging to the Program. Subject to termination upon the giving of one (1) year’s prior written notice, UCMB agrees to continue to provide funding for administrative services for the Program, consistent with the current level of funding. This permits all funds raised by the FCF for the Program to be granted 100% to student scholarships.

Each student receives a $20,000 Pay It Forward scholarship at $5,000 per year for four years, paid at $500 per month and are required to:

1. Stay on a four year graduation track.

3. Meet personally with his/her community mentor at least once a month.

4. Participate in each of ten monthly Program meetings.

5. Spend at least 5 hours each month tutoring and mentoring younger students, primarily through The TFTMC.

To date, of the 34 students who have graduated, 14 have graduated with honors. There are currently 47 active students; 10 seniors, 9 juniors, 14 sophomores and 14 freshmen – all on track to graduate in 4 years. The Pay It Forward 4 year graduation rate exceeds 80% compared to 14.2% for the California State University System.

The Nature Valley TFTMC Open at Pebble Beach
FCF hosts the Nature Valley TFTMC Open at Pebble Beach. The Nature Valley TFTMC Open at Pebble Beach is a PGA Champions Tour 54-hole golf event. The first of its kind, the Tournament features 81 Champions Tour players and 81 junior golfers (selected from chapters of The First Tee) ages 15-18.

ISSUE
Shall the City Council approve the attached Resolution approving the Agreement between the City of Salinas and the Future Citizens Foundation regarding the Twin Creeks Municipal Golf Course?

FISCAL IMPACT
Staff continues work to refinance the current bonds, with the anticipation of saving close to $50,000 annually, once the refinancing is complete. The lease payment by the Future Citizens Foundation in the amount of $60,000 will also assist the City in making the bond payment. Without City participation in this public/private partnership, the City can expect even greater costs if the Twin Creeks Course is returned to City operation and management.

CITY COUNCIL GOALS:

This action is consistent with the current goals of:
 Economic Diversity and Prosperity
 Safe Livable Community
 Effective, Sustainable Government
 Excellent Infrastructure
 Quality of Life

CEQA CONSIDERATIONS
The proposed project is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
