37-39 Soledad Street Scope Clarification This ASR also acknowledges that the design team effort in doing schematic drawings at 37-39 Soledad has exceeded
our
original
understanding
of
the
project
in
that
there
is
still
currently
no
decision
with
respect
to
the
program
of
39 Soledad:
it
may
be
either
B
occupancy
for
the
whole
building
and
represent
minimal
plan
changes,
transform
to
group/
transitional
housing
or
single
family
at
the
second
floor,
cafe,
restaurant
or
community
space
at
the
first
floor.
We
have
verbally
agreed
that
the
deliverables
for
that
property
will
now
include:
90%
SD
drawings
and

drawings
(these
are
not
required
for
the
purpose
of
getting
a
building
permit
as
per
a
meeting
with

officials).
A schematic level cost estimate
has
been
added
to
the
scope
of
work
for
the
approved

Civil Engineering Proposal
Dear Ms. Moder:
BKF Engineers welcomes the opportunity to submit this proposal for civil engineering services associated with the mixed-use project located at 37-39 Soledad Street in the City of Salinas, California. To arrive at the estimated effort required by our office for this project, we have outlined a proposed scope of services, identified assumptions, and determined a level of effort fee based on our understanding of the project.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Based on your proposal request and information obtained, we understand the project as follows:
The project proposes to construct Asian Cultural Experience of Salinas Museum at 37 Soledad St first floor, mezzanine, rear of second floor, and third floor. A single apartment unit is proposed at the existing second floor unit. A commercial space is proposed at 39 Soledad Street first floor (rear one story building to be demolished). Open cold shell is currently proposed at the second story.
At the time of proposal, no proposed floor plans were provided.
BKF’s scope is limited to Civil Engineering services including grading, utility connections and erosion control. These will all be completed to a construction document level suitable for City permits and construction. As this is an internal remodel, we have excluded stormwater programming scope from this project.
This proposal assumes that public improvements along the project frontage s will be limited to new sidewalks, curb & gutter, driveways, and utility service laterals.
BASIS OF DESIGN
Our proposal is based on the following:
1. 37 Soledad Street survey by BKF Engineers, dated September 9th, 2025
2. 45 Soledad Street survey by BKF Engineers, dated March 18th, 2025

Re: 37-39 Soledad Street Rehabilitation
37-39 Soledad Street
Salinas, CA 93901
Job No. 2024.294.01
Dear Maryam,
Thank you for considering Tipping for the proposed rehabilitation of 37-39 Soledad Street in the historic Chinatown district of Salinas. We are delighted to work with you on this important renovation.
We have worked with your office under a separate agreement to provide structural content for a Historic Structures Report and structural design work for stabilization work of the existing building.
This proposal is related to a separate but related scope of work to design interior renovations for new programming at the building as part of its adaptive reuse plans.
The existing site includes two adjoining buildings constructed in 1942, each two-stories tall and totaling approximately 9,431 square feet of interior space. 37 Soledad Street, also known as the Republic Cafe, is on the National Register of Historic Places and recognized by the State of California as a historic building. A fire in October of 2022, along with much deferred maintenance, has rendered the wood-framed buildings uninhabitable. The building shell, including the primary structure, will be improved as part of the separate stabilization project. The proposed program for the interior rehabilitation improvements includes the following:
37 Soledad:
• Asian Cultural Experience of Salinas Museum at first floor, mezzanine, rear of second floor, and third floor.
• A single apartment unit at the existing second floor unit • Design of a new interior transverse shear wall or braced frame (and associated foundations) as a voluntary seismic upgrade. This element will be integrated into the architectural space plan so as not to interrupt circulation or adversely impact the function of the space.

37-39 Soledad Street Rehabilitation January 9, 2026
39 Soledad:
• Commercial space at first floor
• Demolition of rear one story building
• Open cold shell at second story
Given the lack of design development for the proposed program, aside for the specific voluntary seismic retrofit element (interior shear wall or braced frame), the scope of structural engineering required for the design is not clear at this time. The structural scope may be limited or non-existent for the rehabilitation, although it is possible structural consulting and design could be required for miscellaneous items such as the following:
• Framing modifications for MEP upgrades
• T renching coordination and patch back details at SOG for new plumbing • Framing evaluation for heavy loads (servers, operable partitions, other items) • Seismic anchorage for suspended elements (soffits) or partial height walls • MEP equipment or solar anchorage
• Design of new openings or supports for improved vertical circulation (elevators)
SCOPE OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING SERVICES
This proposal includes structural engineering services for the scope of work described above. Our basic services consist of the analysis, design, detailing, and specifications for the structural portions of the project and include construction services to review fabrication drawings, respond to clarification requests, and make periodic observations related to structural components and systems.
Our tasks, milestones, responsibilities, and deliverables for the project at each phase are described in detail below:
Construction Documents
• Attend regularly scheduled meetings with the owner, contractor, and design team to develop design strategies and establish key parameters. • Create computational models for the proposed structural modifications and perform detailed analyses demonstrating adequacy for gravity, wind, and earthquake loading. • Review the effects of secondary or nonstructural elements and design the components 2 of 7

37-39 Soledad Street Rehabilitation January 9, 2026
required for their support.
• Prepare complete sets of drawings, structural note specifications, and calculations documenting the structural work for bidding, approvals, and construction of the project, including progress deliverables at 60% and 90% milestones. • Establish testing and inspection requirements for all structural materials and workmanship.
Approvals and Bidding
• Respond to plan check comments and revise plans as necessary. • Advise and consult with client and architect during the solicitation and evaluation of contractor bids
• Issue final construction documents and addenda for construction.
Construction Administration
• Attend a pre-construction conference to answer questions about design intent or interpretation of the documents, and to examine the contractor's understanding of the project and its requirements.
• Review fabrication drawings and construction submittals for overall compliance with the structural portion of the contract documents. We assume a single round of review of complete, coordinated, and timely submittal packages that are reviewed and approved by the contractor prior to review by our office.
• Review inspection and test reports for items detailed on the structural drawings or called out in the specifications. T ake necessary action on reports indicating non-conforming items. This excludes significant design revisions that may result from non-conformance with and deviations from the contract documents.
• Respond to questions from the client and/ or special inspector regarding interpretation of the structural portion of the contract documents.
• Respond to contractor RFIs. This excludes redesign effort or significant changes to the approved plans due to contractor’s means and methods or requests for substitution. This also excludes the design of repair or remediation measures for damaged or inadequately performed work.
• Visit the construction site at appropriate times to observe the progress of construction and its general conformance to structural drawings and specifications. We estimate that the project would include up to two (2) site visits during construction for periodic structural observation. 3 of 7

37-39 Soledad Street Rehabilitation January 9, 2026
This excludes site visits for inspection, field coordination, troubleshooting, repair or remediation of damaged or inadequately performed work, and quality control efforts.
FEES
Owing to the uncertainty in the scope required, we propose to provide basic structural engineering services on a time and materials basis. We estimate our fees will be in the range of $35,000-$45,000 although we caution this fee could increase somewhat significantly if extensive structural work is required (i.e. a scenario where a new elevator with pit and penthouse is required in conjunction with a new custom stair, extensive framing strengthening for equipment or occupiable roof loads, and the design and anchorage of 5 to 10 interior architectural elements such as moveable partitions, soffits, partial height walls, etc.)
If you find this proposal acceptable, please sign and return a copy as our authorization to proceed.
Again, thank you for considering Tipping as part of your team for this project. We look forward to working with you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Sincerely, Accepted:

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 14, 2025
TO: Rene Mendez, City Manager
FROM: Lisa Brinton, Director
BY: Grant Leonard, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: 34, 36, and 38 Soledad Street Emergency Fencing
At approximately 4:30 p.m. on Monday, September 22, 2025 a fire began inside 38 Soledad Street, Salinas, CA, a boarded-up building located on City-owned property. Due to the condition of the building and status of the fire, the Fire Department determined it was not safe to enter the structure and established a defensive position to monitor the fire and ensure it did not spread to neighboring structures. As a result of the fire, 38 Soledad Street was destroyed, and the adjoining buildings, 36 and 34 Soledad Street were damaged. On Saturday, September 29th, 2025, the Fire Department and Code Enforcement conducted a searched of the site with a cadaver dog that determined no humans were present in the building debris.
The City Chief Building Official and Code Enforcement department have determined that the remaining portions of the building are not structurally sound and pose a danger to the public due to the potential for collapse of the remaining building materials. See photos below.
Given the risk of collapsing building materials, it was critically important to secure the property immediately after the fire to ensure the public could not access the site or the sidewalk in front of the property. The Community Development Department has secured the site with temporary fencing from an available fencing company, JR Fencing. See photos below.
At this time, the Community Development Department seeks to move forward with an after the fact emergency procurement to secure the site after the fire and during demolition, pursuant to Section 18 of the City’s purchasing policy and Section 12-24 of the City Code, due to the urgent need to prevent injury or loss of life that could result from collapse of the remaining structure.

DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, P.E., L.S., PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR BY: ADRIANA ROBLES, P.E., C.F.M., CITY ENGINEER
GERARDO RODRIGUEZ, ASSISTANT ENGINEER
TITLE: PURCHASE OF SPEED CUSHIONS FOR TRAFFIC CALMING
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Resolution authorizing the direct purchase of speed cushions from Traffic Logix for traffic calming projects for a not to exceed total of $1,000,000 for the Traffic Calming Program CIP 9163.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Following the 2009 adoption of the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program, staff updated the Traffic Calming Policy and secured augmented funding in the 2026, biennial budget to address 15 of the 27 pending traffic calming requests. Under Salinas Municipal Code Section 12 -03.05, purchases exceeding $250,000 require competitive sealed bids; however, Council may authorize a direct purchase if competitive bidding does not serve the City's best interest. Because Traffic Logix supplied equipment for all, but four of the traffic calming projects installed, utilizing them ensures system uniformity, reduces labor costs, and simplifies parts management. Therefore, staff recommends approving a Resolution authorizing the direct purchase of speed cushions from Traffic Logix for all applicable projects under Traffic Calming Program CIP 9163 to expedite the process and installation.
BACKGROUND:
On October 6, 2009, City Counci l adopted the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program and established the City’s Traffic Calming Policy (Resolution No. 19674) . The program was established to address traffic concerns from residential neighborhoods. Traffic calming has a range of proven benefits to a community, including reducing speeding, lowering fatality rates, decreasing injury severity, reducing traffic noise, increasing pedestrian and bicyclist safety, and improving street aesthetics. Although t he program was established in 2009, the first traffic calming project was not implemented until 2016 due to lack of funding. In 2017 and following an overwhelming number of traffic calming requests received, City Council approved a prioritization criterion that would allow for ranking of requests (Resolution No. 21291). 590
Page | 2
In 2025, staff hosted two study sessions with the Traffic and Transportation Commission and two community meetings to gather feedback on proposed policy updates. The primary concern raised by residents was the excessive length of time required to implement traffic calming measures.
Over the past year, staff reviewed the existing Traffic Calming Policy to identify administrative bottlenecks and opportunities to expedite the process. The resulting policy updates focus on three key areas: refining the prioritization criteria, eliminating procedural delays, and optimizing the implementation to significantly expedite project installation.
As part of this year’s budget process, staff proposed a on e-time budget augmentation for traffic calming to the Finance Committee that would allow installation of speed cushions to address 15 of the 27 pending traffic calming requests. On June 16, 2026, City Council approved the biennial budget which allocated the additional funding to traffic calming.
For general purchases, pursuant to Salinas Municipal Code (SMC) Section 12 -03.05, except as otherwise directed by the City Council or pursuant to subsection (b)… whenever the amount to be expended for any purchase in excess of two hundred-fifty thousand dollars the Purchasing Agent shall advertise for sealed bids and the contract of purchase shall be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. A direct purchase may be authorized by the City Council if it is determin ed that low-bid based competition is not likely to serve the best interests of the City, yield the best value to the City, or result in the lowest price.
For the past ten years, Traffic Logix has provided speed cushions for nearly all of the City’s traffic calming installations, with only four exceptions where other traffic calming measure were used.
Continuing to purchase from this vendor serves the City's best interest and offers the highest value, as staff has secured lower pricing. Furthermore, standardizing equipment across the City reduces maintenance expenses and streamlines ordering of parts , thereby reducing labor costs. City Council previously authorized direct purchases from Traffic Logix in October 2019 ( Resolution No. 21726) and in October 2020 (Resolution No. 21979). During the October 13, 2020 meeting, Council formally designated Traffic Logix as the sole source provider for the City’s Traffic Calming Program. To expedite the process and installation, staff, again, is requesting approval of the direct purchase of speed cushions from Traffic Logix with a not to exceed of $1,000,000.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
The City of Salinas has determined that the project, installation of speed cushions, is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Section 15301, Class 1) because the project consists of the operation, repair, or minor alteration of public streets involving no expansion of use. There would be no significant effect on the environment.
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
No.

ANDREA MENDOZA, ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST I
TITLE: AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES WITH WILLDAN ENGINEERING
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement of Professional Services with Willdan Engineering for code enforcement services to increase the compensation by $194,400 for a total not to exceed amount of $789,400.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Code Enforcement Division relies on outside technical professionals to ensure appropriate resources are available to support Division objectives of addressing violations, including nonpermitted vendors. These services do not replace City employees othe rwise doing the same work, rather these services supplement the work being performed by City employees to provide a consistent level of service. Contracting for these services allows for experienced technical staff to respond in a timely manner. The propos ed Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement with Willdan Engineering for Code Enforcement Services increased the not to exceed compensation amount from $595,000 to $789,400. Term of the Agreement remains June 30, 2027.
BACKGROUND:
Through a Request for Qualifica tions process, Willdan Engineering was recommended and approved by City Council in June 2024 to be on an On -Call List to provide code enforcement services. On June 11, 2024, City Council Resolution No. 22984 authorized execution of a Agreement for Professional Services (Agreement) with Willdan Engineering in an amount not to exceed $250,000. The term of the A greement is July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027. In March 2025, City Council Resolution No. 23214 authorized the execution of Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement, increasing the not to exceed amount to $295,000 to continue provision of the same level of service.
599
P a g e | 2
On July 1, 2025, the City Council approved Amendment No. 2 (Resolution No. 23299), which increased the contract amount by $300,000 to support services during Fiscal Year 2025–2026. As a result, the total contract amount was increased to a not -to-exceed compensation amount of $595,000.
The adopted fiscal year 2026-2027 Operational Budget includes $194,400 for professional services within the Code Enforcement budget. Amendment No. 3 increases the not to exceed compensation amount of $595,000 to $789,400, for Willdan Engineering to continue providing code enforcement services focused on evening and weekend vendors. The end of term June 30, 2027, re mains unchanged.
This increase to the not to exceed compensation amount is needed to allow Code Enforcement to continue to use technical staff and services, while supporting the development of an internal team, as well as providing coverage for after -hours, weekends, support in proactive enforcement and special events operations, and vendor enforcement in FY 2026-2027. Consultant services are billed on a time and materials basis, according to the rates of compensation set in Exhibit B of the Agreement.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project . The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by 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. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
Yes.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
The proposed Amendment supports the City of Salinas Strategic Plan 2025-2028 Goals and Strategies for Public Safety by expanding code enforcement capacity to address City-wide issues of blight, nuisance, parking, health and unpermitted vending.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
This item was prepared by the Community Development Department, in collaboration with the City Attorney’s Office and Finance Department.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
Funding for this increase of $194,400 was included in the FY2026-2027 Operational Budget.

SPD has received OTS -STEP grant funding for more than 10 years to support DUI and traffic enforcement activities. The STEP grant will target speed violations, distracted driving, red- light violations, pedestrian/vehicle right -of-way violations, and enforcement at locations wit h a high instance of collisions and injuries. The grant will also provide funding for DUI saturation patrols, Distracted Driving patrols, and Sobriety Checkpoints. The grant funds will enable SPD to employ best practice strategies on an overtime basis. To further deter serious traffic collisions, injuries and fatalities, the Police Department will use the funds to conduct traffic enforcement operations targeting distracted drivers and other violations that have been shown to be the proximate cause of collis ions in Salinas. The Police Department will also use the grant funds to support training and travel expenses associated with the Department’s traffic enforcement efforts, and for the purchase of DUI checkpoint supplies. The grant period will run from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
The Salinas Police Department has also been awarded an OTS Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program (PBSP) Grant in the amount of $100,000 to aid in its efforts to reduce the number of people killed and injured in ped estrian and bicycle traffic collisions. SPD has been awarded the OTS-PBSP grant since 2019. As in previous years, SPD will subcontract the full amount of the grant award, $100,000, to Ecology Action for the provision of grant activities. Ecology Action is a non-profit organization based in Santa Cruz, with an office in Salinas, and they have partnered with the Transportation Agency of Monterey County (TAMC) in hopes of serving every student in Monterey County with pedestrian and bicycle safety education by the time they finish 5th grade.
To achieve this goal, Ecology Action works in close collaboration with several community partners, including TAMC, the Monterey County Health Department, the Monterey Peninsula Foundation, the Community Foundation of Monter ey County, and others to provide support for these efforts.

Community Group Rides are geared toward middle school and high school students and will teach them about bike safety and offer beginner -friendly opportunities to explore safe neighborhood routes, while gaining confidence with street riding. Bicycle Repair Clinics are designed to ensure that middle and high school students are riding safe and operable bikes. The clinics will offer free bic ycle mechanical checks and basic repair, as well as instruction on how to perform bicycle checks and flat tire repairs. Ecology Action will also distribute bicycle helmets and bicycle safety equipment during bicycle safety events and courses/workshops, and other community events.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by 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 potenti al 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.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.
The City of Salinas is located in in Central California. Salinas is ranked the 35th city by population in California (World Population Review, 2025), and the largest city in Monterey County (World Population Review, 2025). The United States Census Bureau (2024) states that Salinas has a population of 160,783 residents. The median income is $89,150, the per capita income is $28,813, and 14.2% of the population is in poverty. Of the population, 80.3% are Hispanic or Latino, 11.5% are White, 5.7% Asian, 1.4% African American, and 1.1% are Other. The most prominent language is Spanish, with 72.0% of persons above the age of five speaking a language other than English at home. Salinas experiences a substantial seasonal influx of migrant and agricultural workers during the primary growing and harvest seasons. Estimates for the broader Salinas Valley indicate that tens of thousands of additional drivers are present temporarily, which significantly increases traffic volume on city streets. Many of these drivers are unfamiliar with local roads, traffic patterns, and laws, which exacerbates the city’s existing traffic safety challenges. These seasonal surges, combined with the regular resident population, contribute to higher risk of crashes, unsafe driving behaviors, and increased demand for traffic enforcement and public safety interventions.
Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).
The City of Salinas spans approximately 23.5 square miles with 339 miles of roadway, including major regional corridors such as U.S. Route 101 and State Routes 68 and 183. This combination of dense local streets, high-speed regional highways, and significant commuter and commercial traffic create a complex and heavily traveled environment. As a result, Salinas experiences a high volume of traffic crashes and hazardous driving behaviors, placing substantial demand on local law enforcement. These conditions highlight the ongoing need for focused, data-driven traffic enforcement efforts to reduce dangerous violations, improve compliance with traffic laws, and enhance overall roadway safety for all who travel through the community.
Based on Crossroad Analytics, the 2025 Federal Fiscal Year reflects a total of 1,662 crashes, similar to 1,664 in 2024. The top three known crash factors are Driving Under the Influence (177 crashes), Unsafe Speed (174 crashes), and Auto Right of Way Violation (160 crashes). In comparing the 2022 OTS Crash Rankings to the 2023 OTS Crash Rankings, changes in ranking for the following areas should be noted:
Total Fatal and Injury crashes changed from 30/61 to 43/62; Alcohol Involved, had been drinking driver under 21, changed from 17/61 to 19/62; Motorcycles changed from 57/61 to 60/62; Pedestrians 65+ changed from 18/61 to 42/62; and Speed Related crashes changed from 38/61 to 51/62. These figures place the city in the middle to upper range of statewide peer jurisdictions in several risk categories, underscoring an unacceptable level of traffic violence, especially given the city’s size and population. Therefore, Salinas has a critical and immediate need for expanded, data-driven traffic enforcement and education efforts. These statistics demonstrate that Salinas is facing a level of unsafe driving that cannot be managed through routine patrol alone. Residents regularly report concerns about speeding, reckless driving, and hit-and-run incidents in their neighborhoods, and officers see these issues firsthand on a daily basis.
The most recent observational study conducted by California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB), supported by Transportation Agency Monterey County (TAMC), as part of our departments plan, yielded valuable insight into pedestrian, bicycle, and traffic challenges faced by the Salinas community. Some discoveries of the study highlighted the dangerous rate of speed traveled by vehicles near areas heavily traveled by pedestrians and bicyclists. It was also noted that there were vehicles blocking or parking in crosswalks and bike lanes. This study directly supports the need for general traffic enforcement operations to address speeding, a primary crash factor, and pedestrian bicycle enforcement operations to promote compliance by drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists, and improve traffic safety in our community.
Strengthening traffic enforcement, pedestrian/bicycle enforcement, and distracted driving enforcement operations, supported through OTS funding, would allow the Department to respond directly to these community concerns by increasing patrol presence and targeting high-risk behaviors. In addition to enforcement, the department will continue its public education efforts to address the 618
6/24/2026 11:56:55 AM Page 5 of 20
root causes of dangerous driving, using community outreach, school-based presentations, and high-visibility messaging to reinforce safe driving expectations citywide. Together, enhanced enforcement and education will help reduce risky behaviors and promote a safer environment for everyone in Salinas.
In previous grant cycles, the Salinas PD was at critical staffing levels and has been working hard over the past couple of years to recruit, hire, and train sworn officers to increase our workforce and services provided to the community. While our staffing levels have improved more recently, we still experience staffing challenges. As of January 2026, Salinas PD has 14 officer vacancies, 9 officers in the field training program, and another 9 officers on leave or unable to work full duty. This results in only 74.5% of our authorized sworn workforce on full duty. Our Traffic Sergeant is no longer a dedicated position, but is staffed as a collateral assignment, and we have only two dedicated Traffic Officers. The Department uses our dedicated and collateral traffic unit officers as well as patrol officers to conduct traffic enforcement operations using OTS grant funds. The utilization of overtime by officers is necessary for the city to maintain traffic enforcement and education services at a level consistent with the needs of the community.
With funding support from the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), we can continue educating the public and enforcing essential traffic safety laws, with the aim of further reducing injuries and fatalities by providing dedicated traffic enforcement services through this grant funding. The department will target drivers within the City of Salinas, with a focus on days, times and/or areas which can be most impacted by traffic crashes. The Salinas PD does have one SFST instructor and we intend to host SFST classes as staffing allows. We currently have one certified DRE officer, valid through February 2027. We continue to encourage officers to continue training so we can expand the number of officers with SFST, ARIDE, and DRE certifications, and are now exploring adding this as a mandatory training pathway for all dedicated and collateral traffic unit officers.
Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).
This program will serve all residents, commuters, and visitors who travel on Salinas roadways, with an emphasis on individuals and at-risk populations disproportionately affected by traffic safety hazards. Target populations include vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists, as well as low- income individuals and families who may have limited access to safe transportation alternatives. Salinas continues to experience significant traffic safety challenges, including DUI-related injury crashes, unsafe speeds, pedestrian-involved crashes, and hazardous turning movements. These issues place vulnerable road users at a heightened risk of severe injury or death, particularly in areas where high traffic volumes, impaired driving, and unsafe roadway behaviors intersect. Similarly, at-risk populations often face compounded challenges: limited access to traffic safety education, fewer safe transportation options, and greater reliance on walking or biking along roadways that may lack adequate safety infrastructure. Seasonal surges in traffic due to temporary migrant and agricultural workers further increase roadway congestion, creating additional enforcement challenges and elevating crash risk for all users.
The Salinas Police Department will implement a strategic, data-driven traffic safety program focused on high-risk areas and behaviors identified through crash analysis. Targeted enforcement operations—including DUI checkpoints, speed enforcement, and pedestrian and bicycle safety patrols—will concentrate on locations with a documented history of serious injury crashes. Educational outreach will engage at-risk populations, ensuring that traffic safety messages reach those most affected by traffic-related hazards. By integrating enforcement with targeted education, this program aims to reduce traffic-related injuries and fatalities, improve compliance with traffic laws, and create a safer roadway environment for all residents, commuters, and visitors. This coordinated approach ensures that vulnerable road users—such as pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and low-income populations—receive focused attention, addressing the unique risks they face and reinforcing the City of Salinas’ commitment to comprehensive traffic safety.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.
The City of Salinas is located in in Central California. Salinas is ranked the 35th city by population in California (World Population Review, 2025), and the largest city in Monterey County (World Population Review, 2025). Salinas is well positioned to increase walking and bicycling for everyday transportation; however, significant gaps remain in the existing bicycle network. Current bicycle facilities are often fragmented, functioning as disconnected segments that limit connectivity and create barriers to safe, continuous travel. High vehicle speeds and traffic volumes further exacerbate safety concerns for people bicycling on streets without dedicated facilities. The City of Salinas has identified needed transportation improvements through its 2024 Active Transportation Plan (ATP). While implementation of these planned projects is underway, advancing infrastructure improvements and safety enhancements requires substantial time and resources, leaving critical gaps in the bicycle network in the near term.
The United States Census Bureau (2024) states that Salinas has a population of 160,783 residents. The median income is $89,150, the per capita income is $28,813, and 14.2% of the population is in poverty. 88.5% of high school students, and 70% of elementary school students in Salinas receive free or reduced lunch programs (ed-data.org, 12/23/2025). Of the population, 80.3% are Hispanic or Latino, 11.5% are White, 5.7% Asian, 1.4% African American, and 1.1% are Other. The most prominent language is Spanish, with 72.0% of persons above the age of five speaking a language other than English at home.
Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).
According to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), rankings are based on comparisons of traffic safety statistics of cities with similar-sized populations. In comparing the 2022 OTS Crash Rankings to the 2023 OTS Crash Rankings, changes in ranking for the following areas should be noted: overall crashes involving pedestrians changed from 14/61 to 24/62; crashes involving pedestrians below the age of 15 changed from 12/61 to 13/62; crashes involving pedestrians above the age of 65 changed from 18/61 to 42/62; overall crashes involving bicyclists changed from 32/61 to 23/62; and crashes involving bicyclists below the age of 15 changed from 49/61 to 13/62.
Based on data, the 2025 Federal Fiscal Year reflects a total of 1,662 crashes. Of that total, there were 444 crashes resulting in injuries and 9 fatalities. Crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists accounted for 146 crashes. Of the 146 crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists, 111 resulted in injuries, and 8 resulted in fatalities. The data shows that Salinas has a serious traffic safety problem that greatly affects children and youth. Salinas experiences an undetermined but substantial seasonal influx of migrant and agricultural workers during the primary growing and harvest seasons. This has resulted in neighborhoods that are overcrowded and households that have limited or no access to a vehicle. Residents may not fully understand traffic laws as they pertain to bikes and pedestrians, and language and cultural differences exacerbate this problem.
The most recent observational study conducted by a California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB), supported by Transportation Agency Monterey County (TAMC) yielded valuable insight into pedestrian, bicycle, and traffic challenges faced by the Salinas community. One discovery of the study highlighted concern over helmet use, stating, “children bicyclists remain susceptible to injury from the lack of prevalent helmet use,” that “lack of helmet use by children bicyclists proved to be a significant finding within the study,” and that “based on substantial observational data, it can be concluded that there were very few children who wore helmets. The vast majority of children bicyclists did not wear helmets.” Additionally, the study stated, “stronger enforcement of helmet use for minors is imperative.” This study directly supports the need for providing helmets to those in need who do not have the means to get their own, as well as an increased need for pedestrian and bicycle Safety education in our community. Salinas has great potential to increase safe walking and biking; and children and youth need education and support to do so safely.
Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s). 638
6/24/2026 9:57:53 AM Page 5 of 20
The Salinas Police Department (PD) traffic unit plays a crucial role in promoting pedestrian and bicycle safety within the community. Historically, the department faced critical staffing shortages, which affected its capacity to carry out essential safety initiatives. Over the past few years, Salinas PD has invested considerable effort in recruiting, hiring, and training sworn staff to strengthen its workforce and enhance services provided to residents.
Despite recent improvements in staffing, the department continues to face notable challenges. As of January 2026, Salinas Police Department has 14 officer vacancies, 9 officers participating in the field training program, and an additional 9 officers on leave or unable to perform full duty. These numbers mean that only
74.5% of the authorized sworn workforce is available for full duty assignments. Due to these ongoing staffing limitations, the department is unable to devote as many resources as desired to pedestrian and bicycle safety activities during the core staffing hours of sworn staff.
To address these constraints, the department has relied on overtime-only funding provided by the OTS Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) Grant. This funding enables officers to dedicate specific time to traffic enforcement and education. However, even with these resources, it remains challenging to allocate sufficient attention to pedestrian and bicycle safety issues.
To ensure these critical safety initiatives are not neglected, Salinas PD continues to contract with a non- profit organization to deliver Office of Traffic Safety education programming within the City of Salinas and its surrounding jurisdictions.
In the past few years, the department has established a Community Outreach and Engagement Team. This unit is tasked with collaborating with the selected contractor to maintain the department’s presence at community events and activities. As a newly formed unit, the Community Outreach and Engagement Team is expected to grow and enhance its efforts in the coming years, contributing to the department's commitment to community safety and engagement.
This program will implement Bicycle Rodeos, Walking Field Trips, traffic safety fairs and outreach activities at local schools, recreation centers, and community events. Through these activities, trained personnel will provide hands-on instruction by educating these vulnerable road users about safe riding skills, traffic awareness, and helmet safety, while also properly fitting and distributing the helmets and pedestrian and bicycle reflective items to those who need them. Targeting these vulnerable road users aligns with the identified high injury ranking for incidents in this group and allows for education in safe traffic behaviors. These at-risk populations will benefit from education and interaction designed to improve knowledge and safety behaviors for pedestrians and bicyclists.

BACKGROUND:
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) Modernization Program Grant is a collaboration between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the DOJ’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). Its purpose is to provide state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies with funding to acquire modern ballistic imaging equipment and implement best practices in crime gun intelligence. The program aims to replace 194 pieces of outdated equipment at 170 existing NIBIN sites nationwide, with grant funds covering the full cost of new NIBIN-compatible equipment and maintenance for five years. The Salinas Police Department was identified as one of the 170 law enforcement agencies eligible for these grant funds , with a designated award of $300 ,000 to replace the existing IBIS BrassTrax ballistic imaging system. The overarching goals of the DOJ NIBIN Modernization Program are to improve nationwide access to NIBIN, increase ballistic evidence processing capacity, reduce backlogs, and improve gun crime case clearance rates. These nationwide goals directly inform th e role and operations of the Salinas Police Department ’s NIBIN lab , and acceptance of this grant will enhance t he capacity of the Salinas Police Department Crime L ab, reduce evidence processing backlogs, and strengthen multi -jurisdictional responses to vio lent crime across the Central Coast.
The Salinas Police Department ’s NIBIN Lab, a partnership with the ATF, was established in 2001 to address the growing need for advanced forensic services in Monterey County and the broader Central Coast region. Since its inception, the lab has played a pivotal role in supporting local law enforcement agencies with timely and accurate forensic analysis, particularly in cases involving gun violence and gang activity. The Salinas Crime Lab is the only NIBIN site between San Jose and Ventura, making it an indispensable resource for the City of Salinas and neighboring jurisdictions. Its regional reach enables collaborative investigations, rapid sharing of ballistic intelligence, and coordinated responses to transnational criminal organizations.
The lab’s unique position as a regional asset is further underscored by its partnerships with federal agencies such as the FBI and ATF, as well as local and state law enforcement. These collaborations have resulted in improved crime -solving rates and enhanced public safety outcomes. The modernization grant will allow the lab to upgrade its technology, ensuring compliance with current ATF NIBIN technical specifications and supporting seamless integration with the National NIBIN Network. In addition to its regional impact, the lab ’s work is further strengthened through its strong collaboration with federal partners, which expands investigative capacity and information sharing. Building on these successful partnerships and outcomes, the need for modernization is essential to ensure the lab stays aligned with evolving national standards.
The City of Salinas has an existing MOU the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) regarding operation of the NIBIN Lab, and the condition of this grant and purchase of new equipment is to enter into an updated MOU with ATF. To fulfil this requirement, we are requesting that City Council delegate authority to the City Manager or designee to execute the required MOU. 657

The table below represents the purchase to be completed with the $300,000 NIBIN Modernization Program grant funds. We are requesting authorization for this direct purchase , including equipment and ongoing licensing, software, and services, for a term of seven (7) years.
Quote Equipment/Service Included Cost
Year 1 – Year 5 BrassTrax Acquisition Station (Grant funded) $300,000.00 Year 6 – Year 7 BrassTrax Acquisition Station (included at no cost) $0.00 TOTAL Cost (Not to Exceed) $300,000.00
LeadsOnline is the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of the IBIS BrassTrax ballistic imaging system, and is the only vendor authorized to provide the technology required for NIBIN compatible ballistic evidence processing. Their BrassTrax Acquisition Station is the sole federally certified system capable of meeting ATF and NIBIN interoperability, security, and certification standards, making alternative products infeasible. Because the equipment is protected by patents and proprietary tech nology, no other company can legally supply, install, or maintain IBIS systems, and national guidance confirms that all NIBIN sites must use this platform.
Salinas PD’s operational continuity further depends on vendor specific installation, calibration, and integration with federal crime gun intelligence infrastructure. As a result, procurement from LeadsOnline is mandatory to maintain compliance, functionality, and uninterrupted regional investigative capability. As part of the purchasing process with LeadsOnline, a Subscription Services Agreement and IBIS Solution Subscription are required. Given the equipment requirements and the federally mandated vendor exclusivity outlined above , a sole source procurement approach is required. City Council has the authority to approve this direct purchase without the application of low-bid based competition (Salinas Municipal Code Section 12-03.11) and local purchasing preference (Salinas Municipal Code Section 12-28.070).
Given the information provided above, t he Department is requesting authorization to accept the DOJ - NIBIN Grant award, establish an expense appropriation and corresponding revenue budget of up to $300,000, execute an updated MOU with ATF, an d complete the direct purchase of the IBIS BrassTrax ballistic imaging equipment, licensing, and services from LeadsOnline, for a term of seven (7) years at a cost not to exceed $300,000.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the City of Salinas Police Department
Regarding the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is entered into by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the City of Salinas Police Department, hereinafter collectively referred to as “the parties,” and the City of Salinas Police Department, referred to as the “NIBIN Partner.” This MOU establishes and defines a partnership between the parties that will result in an ATF National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) system installation, operation, and administration for the collection, timely analysis, and dissemination of crime gun data to enhance the efforts of law enforcement to integrate resources to reduce firearms violence, identify shooters, and refer them for prosecution.
AUTHORITY
This MOU is established pursuant to the authority of the participants to engage in activities related to the investigation and suppression of violent crimes involving firearms. ATF’s authorities are set forth in Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations, sections 0.130-0.131, and include the power to investigate violations of the Gun Control Act of 1968 (as amended), Title 18, United States Code, Chapter 44.
BACKGROUND
The ATF NIBIN Program uses sophisticated technology to compare images of ballistic evidence.
It is part of an integrated investigative approach to reduce firearms violence and improve crime gun intelligence. Through aggressive targeting, investigation, and prosecution of shooters and their sources of crime guns, Federal, State, tribal, and local law enforcement agencies work in concert to combat firearms-related violence.
SCOPE
Participation in this program is expressly restricted to the sharing of ballistic imaging of firearms data associated with crimes recovered by any law enforcement agency in the United States and international law enforcement partners who have entered into agreements with ATF to share ballistic data. ATF may work with our international law enforcement partners to search their networks in an effort to identify a crime gun in their database against a crime gun in ATF’s NIBIN network.
NIBIN systems are to be used to image ballistic evidence and test fires of firearms illegally possessed, used in a crime, or suspected by law enforcement officials of having been used in a 662
crime. Ballistics information and/or evidence from firearms taken into law enforcement custody through a gun buy-back program, property damage crimes involving firearms, found or abandoned firearms, and domestic disturbances are also permitted to be entered into the NIBIN system.
Any NIBIN unit will not be used to capture, share, or store ballistic images acquired at the point of manufacture, importation, or sale of a firearm, or images of law enforcement-issued firearms not associated with crimes. The NIBIN system does not store information related to firearms owners or registration.
APPLICABLE LAWS
The applicable statutes, regulations, directives, and procedures of the United States, DOJ, and ATF shall govern this MOU and all documents and actions pursuant to it. Nothing in this MOU will prevail over any Federal law, regulation, or other Federal rule recognized by ATF.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this agreement will be construed as a waiver of sovereign immunity in excess of or beyond that which is authorized by the law of the NIBIN Partner’s jurisdiction. This MOU is not a funding document. All specific actions agreed to herein shall be subject to funding and administrative or legislative approvals.
MODIFICATIONS AND TERMINATIONS
This MOU shall supersede any previous MOU between the parties regarding NIBIN. This MOU shall not affect independent relationships or obligations (non-NIBIN related) between the parties.
If any provision of this MOU is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in force and unaffected to the fullest extent permitted by law and regulation.
Except as provided herein, this MOU may be modified or amended only by written mutual agreement of the parties. Either party may terminate this MOU by providing written notice to the other party. The termination shall be effective upon the thirtieth calendar day following provision of notice, unless an alternative date is agreed upon.
If either party terminates this MOU, ATF will retain its interest in the electronically stored information contained in the database. ATF agrees to provide to the NIBIN Partner an electronic copy of the data collected by the NIBIN Partner, subject to Federal law and regulation.
LIABILITY
The NIBIN Partner hereby agrees to assume full and sole liability for any damage, injury, or harm of any sort caused by the operation and use of any NIBIN system or related to the use and interpretation of any information contained in, processed by, or extracted from any database subject to this agreement and the protocols and procedures of the NIBIN Program, to the extent allowed by law. The rights and obligations set out in this MOU run between the signatories. 663
Nothing in this MOU is intended to create any substantive or procedural rights, privileges, or benefits enforceable in any administrative, civil, or criminal matter by any prospective or actual third-parties.
SYSTEM INSTALLATION
The NIBIN Partner hereby agrees and acknowledges that the deployed NIBIN system is the property of the partner site. Any and all costs associated with the deployed NIBIN system, to include costs to provide, install, and maintain the system, are the sole responsibility of the NIBIN Partner and not the responsibility of ATF. ATF does not have and will not have, at any time, any liability or financial obligation related to the deployed NIBIN system. The NIBIN system is for use by the NIBIN Partner and any other law enforcement agencies served by or in partnership with the NIBIN Partner. Should the installation of the NIBIN system require physical construction at the site, the NIBIN Partner will be responsible for such construction and any associated costs. If a system is to be moved to allow additional access outside of a laboratory, NIBIN Partner will ensure the appropriate protocols are put into place to ensure the integrity of crime gun evidence along with maximum use of the equipment.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The NIBIN Partner will maintain all NIBIN systems acquired by the NIBIN Partner and repair or replace inoperable or outdated systems in an expeditious manner, at their own expense. At all times, the NIBIN Partner agrees not to make or cause to be made any repairs, alterations, movements, additions, improvements, or replacements to the NIBIN systems not expressly authorized in writing by ATF in advance and further agrees to exercise due care in every respect to prevent system movement, damage, destruction, or misuse.
DEPLOYED SYSTEM USAGE
Because the NIBIN Program focuses on the reduction of firearms-related violent crimes, the NIBIN Partner shall enter all eligible ballistic evidence recovered from crime scenes as soon as possible. In addition, the NIBIN Partner shall enter into NIBIN test-fire cartridge cases from eligible firearms taken into law enforcement custody in a timely manner. NIBIN Partners may not charge other law enforcement agencies for the entry of evidence into grant-funded or grant- maintained automated ballistics technology used in the NIBIN Program.
DEPLOYED SYSTEM REMOVAL
ATF retains the right to remove the NIBIN Partner from the NIBIN system upon: (1) receipt of written notification of the termination of the participation of the NIBIN Partner in the NIBIN Program; (2) the cancellation of this MOU by ATF; or (3) termination of the NIBIN Program by ATF.
664
If ATF intends to remove a NIBIN Partner from the NIBIN system, ATF will provide written notice.
SELF-PURCHASED SYSTEMS
All requirements involving network requirements, usage, Minimum Required Operating Standards (MROS), movement of equipment, network requirements and security requirements apply to all agencies on the NIBIN network. These requirements ensure the integrity of the database and network security.
SYSTEM MOVEMENT
If the NIBIN Partner seeks to move its NIBIN system, it must submit a written request to ATF.
ATF’s decision regarding the proposed move will be provided to the NIBIN Partner in writing.
Any movement of the NIBIN system will occur at the expense of the NIBIN Partner and only after receipt of authorization by, and coordination with, Leads Online. To realize maximum use of the equipment, it should be placed where trained personnel can expeditiously enter evidence.
ATF will work with each partner to realize optimal placement of equipment to obtain actionable investigative leads.
Due to communication line installation/move requirements, NIBIN Partners must provide a minimum of 120 calendar days’ advance notice to ATF and the NIBIN system manufacturer before the intended move of a NIBIN system.
In the event of unauthorized movement, alteration, damage, or destruction of any NIBIN system caused by its employees, contractors, or any other person under its control, the NIBIN Partner agrees to assume the cost of replacement or repairs of the equipment.
The NIBIN Partner agrees to report to ATF, within 5 calendar days, any incident involving the following: an unauthorized movement, alteration, damage, or destruction of NIBIN systems, any unauthorized use of NIBIN systems or the unauthorized release of data related to the NIBIN Program.
COMMUNICATION LINES
ATF will provide and support primary communication lines necessary for connecting NIBIN systems to the NIBIN network.
SECURITY
The NIBIN Partner will comply with all ATF, DOJ and/or other Federal security requirements related to the NIBIN program, network, and systems to ensure the integrity of the program.
These requirements are set forth under NIBIN security policies. ATF will promptly notify the NIBIN Partner should these requirements change. All NIBIN sites will not knowingly allow a person to access the NIBIN network using another person’s user ID and password. 665
The NIBIN Partner agrees to conduct criminal background checks, including fingerprint checks, of all NIBIN users. Upon successful completion of these background checks, the NIBIN Partner will notify ATF’s NIBIN Branch in writing.
SYSTEM USAGE AND MINIMUM REQUIRED OPERATING STANDARDS
To ensure the consistency, integrity, and success of NIBIN, ATF has enacted Minimum Required Operating Standards (MROS). The MROS, listed below, are rooted in ATF’s “Four Critical Steps for a Successful NIBIN Program” – comprehensive collection, timeliness, investigative follow- up, and feedback. They identify the practices that best allow NIBIN to provide comprehensive and timely crime gun intelligence.
1. Enter all fired or test fired cartridge cases from serviced law enforcement agencies and/or departments through a NIBIN acquisition machine within 2 business days of receipt.
2. Enter accurately all required information during the acquisition process on the NIBIN acquisition machine.
3. Correlate and conduct a secondary review of any potential NIBIN leads through an approved NIBIN correlation machine within 2 business days.
4. Disseminate NIBIN leads within 24 hours.
5. Designate and maintain a NIBIN program administrator.
6. No policy shall inhibit or restrict NIBIN submissions by serviced law enforcement agencies and/or departments.
7. Operate with only qualified NIBIN users.
Please note that Standards 3 and 4 are not applicable to NIBIN sites using the NIBIN National Correlation and Training Center for correlation reviews of ballistic images.
As a NIBIN partner, the City of Salinas Police Department is striving to meet the MROS by developing and implementing changes in their operations and working toward compliance. Each NIBIN site must be in compliance with MROS or working towards compliance to the satisfaction of the Crime Gun Intelligence Governing Board.
AUDITS
ATF and the NIBIN Partner acknowledge their understanding that the operations described in this MOU are subject to audit by ATF, DOJ, the DOJ Office of the Inspector General, the General Accountability Office, and other auditors designated by the U.S. Government. Such audits may include reviews of all records, performance measurements, documents, reports, 666
accounts, invoices, receipts, or other evidence of expenditures related to this MOU and the NIBIN Program.
Notwithstanding, ATF will conduct audits of all NIBIN Partners and their sites once every two years for the remainder of the MOU. The purpose of the audits is to review and verify compliance with the required MROS. Each site must be in full compliance with the MROS in order to maintain access to NIBIN.
Further, the NIBIN Partner agrees to allow auditors to conduct one or more in-person interview(s) of any and all personnel the auditors determine may have knowledge relevant to transactions performed or other matters involving this MOU and the NIBIN Program.
The NIBIN Partner hereby acknowledges its understanding that, for accounting purposes, that the principles and standards for determining costs shall be governed by the policies set forth in the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-87, revised (available via the OMB, the Superintendent of Documents at the U.S. Government Printing Office, or via the Internet at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a087/a087-all.html.)
PERSONNEL AND TRAINING
Prior to the execution of this MOU and a NIBIN system installation, the NIBIN Partner must employ, or have access to, a technical person capable of performing forensic microscopic comparison of bullet and cartridge evidence.
The NIBIN Partner agrees to provide and maintain sufficient personnel to operate the NIBIN system and agrees to allow use of the equipment by ATF personnel or our representatives to support the program at the host location. All personnel accessing NIBIN must be a Qualified NIBIN User as required by the MROS. This MOU should not be construed to require the hiring of any new personnel, except at the discretion of the NIBIN Partner. If the NIBIN Partner determines that additional personnel resources are required, all costs associated with this hiring will be borne by the NIBIN Partner. All users of the equipment must satisfy the same requirements as other NIBIN users and be properly trained, qualified and approved in advance by ATF.
Following basic entry training, ATF will verify trainee competency before authorizing network access. Individuals trained internally by a NIBIN Partner will not be certified as appropriately trained until they successfully pass a competency test administered by ATF.
The NIBIN Partner may provide access to the NIBIN system under its operational control to another law enforcement agency. Any such other law enforcement agency agrees to the same restrictions placed upon the NIBIN Partner by this MOU. However, the NIBIN Partner agrees to assume full liability and responsibility for the administration of such access. 667
Access to the NIBIN system will be under the management and control of the NIBIN Partner.
The NIBIN Partner will ensure that only trained, cleared, and qualified personnel have access to the NIBIN system.
Participating agencies will develop appropriate operating procedures to ensure all eligible ballistic evidence will be submitted for NIBIN.
COORDINATION
ATF and the NIBIN Partner agree to adhere to standardized procedures and policies for collecting, handling, documenting, transporting and preserving firearms, bullets, casings and any similar evidence submitted for analysis and input into NIBIN.
ATF and the NIBIN Partner similarly agree to adhere to standardized procedures and policies for the source data collection, input, exchange and protection of information, to include information as to the location where ballistic evidence was collected, the circumstances under which it was collected and all crimes to which the firearm(s) or other ballistic evidence is linked.
ATF and the NIBIN Partner agree to cooperate in the development and implementation of data entry protocols and quality assurance procedures for the NIBIN Program. ATF further agrees to cooperate with all participants in the NIBIN Program to establish model standards, protocols, and procedures for the users of the network. Such protocols will be applicable as they are implemented.
The NIBIN Partner will require all participating law enforcement agencies to adhere to the protocols, procedures, policies and quality assurance standards as established above.
Except as expressly prohibited by law, the NIBIN Partner agrees to provide ATF with access to all information, reports and any other relevant information regarding crimes related to evidence entered into the system as well as monthly reports outlining historical, statistical and case adjudication information on the use and results of the use of the NIBIN Program and/or system and the related services provided by ATF and the system manufacturer in order to ensure the capturing of required performance management information. Such information will be gathered for the purpose of informing the law enforcement community, other Government agencies, Congress and the public on NIBIN results. Additionally, ATF will collect information for results- oriented performance measures.
PUBLICITY
Any NIBIN Partner who becomes aware of, or participates in, publicity related to the NIBIN system and investigations within their jurisdiction should advise ATF of same within 48 hours.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION RELATED TO NIBIN
668
NIBIN system information may be shared with other law enforcement and prosecutors’ offices in furtherance of criminal investigations and prosecutions.

On December 9, 2025, City Council, pursuant to Resolution No. 23382, awarded a $2,230,401 contract to Precision Construction Services for the Sherwood Recreation C enter Building Improvement, CIP 9535, and approved a construction contingency amount of $450,000.
Major change orders were identified during the demolition phase of construction which included unsuitable soils, damaged CMU walls, water damage, and wood rot.
On June 2, 2026, City Council, pursuant to Resolution No. 2026 -093, authorized an increase of construction contingencies in the amount of $200,000 to encumber existing and pending change orders. Change orders were executed for new solar lights, curbs in the parking lot, access door for roof, new structural bracing along roof parapet wall, core drilling of unforeseen concrete slab, fiber replacement, and new building signage.
On June 30, 2026, City Council, pursuant to Resolution No. 2026-133, authorized an increase of construction contingencies in the amount of $60,000 to encumber additional change orders. The additional work included sidewalk demolition, demolition of existing light pole base and installation of new light pole bases along with the installation of vertical safety netting, grinding and overlay of ADA stalls, and cleaning of basketball court.
Of the $710,000 approved contingencies, approximately $18,000 remains, which is not sufficient to cover the additional work. As a result, City staff requests City Council approval of an increase to construction contingencies by $ 40,000 for a revised construction contingency amount not to exceed $750,000. Table 1 provides a summary of the pending change orders.
