CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: September 21, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Nathan Freeman, Agency Director of Community, Housing, and Economic Development
Department: Community & Economic Development (CED)
Subject: Adopt Ordinance No. MC-1592 (Alcoholic Beverage Sales Locational Restrictions) (All Wards)
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Ordinance No. MC-1592 approving Development Code Amendment 22-04 amending Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section III(A)-(I) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Locational Restrictions) and Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section VI(D)- (E) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Permit Application) of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code (Title 19) to increase the locational restriction from 500 feet to 1,000 feet for new alcoholic beverage sales activities from sensitive land uses (Attachment 1).
Background
An application for a convenience store with an Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) offsale license requires the approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission. Additionally, the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has established license concentration standards allowing for a maximum of ABC off-sale licenses within the census tracts. If a new ABC off-sale license will cause the subject census tract to become over concentrated with ABC off-sale licenses, the Conditional Use Permit also requires a Public Convenience or Necessity Letter application for consideration by the Planning Commission.
Packet Pg. 722
The Police Department reviews all Conditional Use Permits for ABC off-sale license applications and conducts investigations based upon the information provided to report alcohol related and other crimes that have been reported during the previous calendar year within half-mile of the subject reporting district. The Police Department also provides appropriate recommended Conditions of Approval to ensure that the sale of alcohol will not be detrimental to the surrounding area.
With the continued increase in the number of convenience store applications, there has also been an increase in the number of requests for ABC Type-20 (Off-Sale: Beer and Wine) and ABC Type-21 (Off-Sale: General – Beer, Wine and Distilled Spirits) Licenses. There has also been an increase in the number of census tracts with over concentrations. The overconcentration of ABC off-sale licenses creates the potential for impairing the integrity and character of the commercial corridors and may be detrimental to sensitive land uses within the vicinity, such as schools, parks and places of worship.
On April 12, 2022, the Planning Commission unanimously adopted Resolution No. 2022-020, forwarding a recommendation to the Mayor and City Council recommending approval of Development Code Amendment 22-04.
Under proposed Development Code Amendment 22-04, Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section III(A) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Locational Restrictions) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code will be amended to read as follows:
“(A) Unless otherwise exempted under subsections B – H, a new alcoholic beverage sales activity is not permitted within 1,000 feet of any of the following locations:
1. A public or private state licensed or accredited school.
2. A public park, playground, recreational area, or youth facility, including a nursery school, preschool, or day-care facility.
3. A place of worship or religious institution.
4. A hospital.
5. An alcohol or other drug abuse recovery or treatment facility.
6. A county social service office.
(B) Establishments containing 10,000 square feet or more, including but not limited to supermarkets and drugstores, which do not sell alcoholic beverages as the principal business are exempt from the locational restrictions. (C) Sit down restaurants whose predominant function is the service of food and Packet Pg. 723
where the on-site sale of alcoholic beverages is incidental or secondary are exempt from these locational restrictions. An incidental bar or lounge shall be allowed for the convenience of dining patrons. (Establishments which are primarily a bar or lounge or have a bar or lounge area as a principal or independent activity are not included in this exemption.)
(D) All other establishments for on-site consumption of alcohol may be exempted from the locational restrictions, subject to evaluation of site-specific conditions through the Conditional Use Permit review process and considering recommendations from the Police Department.
(E) Specialty retail establishments that offer unique product lines or variety of selection warranting a finding of public convenience or necessity are exempt from the locational restrictions.
(F) An automobile service station convenience store that meets the location criteria of Section 19.06.030(2)(T) may be exempted from these locational restrictions, subject to evaluation of site-specific conditions through the Conditional Use Permit review process and considering recommendations from the Police Department. (G) A fraternal organization or veterans club may be exempted from the locational restrictions, subject to evaluation of site-specific conditions through the Conditional Use Permit review process and considering recommendations from the Police Department.
(H) Temporary uses issued a Temporary License by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and established in compliance with all City laws and regulations are exempt from the locational restrictions. (I) The following location conditions will be considered in the review of Conditional Use Permit applications, and may be grounds for denial based on potential adverse effects to the public interest, health, safety or convenience:
1. A location within a crime reporting district, or within 1,000 feet of a crime reporting district, where the general crime rate exceeds the city-wide general crime rate by more than 20 percent.
2. A location where the new alcoholic beverage sales activity would be within 1,000 feet from an existing alcoholic beverage sales activity or would lead to the grouping of more than four alcoholic beverage sales activities within a 1,000-foot radius from the new alcoholic beverage sales activity.” Under proposed Development Code Amendment 22-04, Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section VI(D)-(E) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Permit Application) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code will also be amended to read, as follows:
Packet Pg. 724
“(D) The name, address, and telephone number, if available, of all existing schools, parks, playgrounds or recreational areas, nonprofit youth facilities, places of worship, hospitals, alcohol or other drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities or county social service offices within 1,000 feet of the proposed alcoholic beverage sales activity establishment.
(E) The name, address, and telephone number, if available, of all alcoholic beverage sale activities within 1,000 feet of the proposed alcoholic beverage sales activity establishment and within a 1,000-foot radius from the proposed alcoholic beverage sales activity establishment.”
General Plan Goals and Policies
The City of San Bernardino General Plan includes goals and policies to guide future Accessory Dwelling Units, as follows:
Land Use Goal 2.1: Preserve and enhance San Bernardino’s unique Neighborhoods. • Land Use Element Policy 2.1.1: Actively enforce development standards, design guidelines, and policies to preserve and enhance the character of San Bernardino’s neighborhoods.
• Land Use Element Policy 2.2.8: Control the location and number of communitysensitive uses, such as alcohol sales, adult bookstores and businesses, game arcades, and similar uses based on proximity to residences, schools, religious facilities, and parks.
• Land Use Element Policy 2.2.9: Require Police Department review of uses that may be characterized by high levels of noise, nighttime patronage, and/or rates of crime; providing for the conditioning or control of use to prevent adverse impacts on adjacent residences, schools, religious facilities, and similar “sensitive” uses.
The adoption and implementation of Development Code Amendment 22-04 is consistent with the City’s General Plan by regulating the location of alcoholic beverage sales activities in order to prevent potential negative impacts to the existing sensitive land uses and the community at-large and by minimizing the over concentration alcoholic beverage sales activities. The Police Department will continue to review applications for new alcoholic beverage sales to investigate crimes within half-mile of the respective reporting district.
California Environmental Quality Act
The Planning Division conducted an environmental evaluation in connection with proposed Development Code Amendment 22-04 and concluded that it is exempt from CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) (Review for Exemption) of the CEQA Guidelines due to the fact that the proposed Development Code Amendment will not create significant effects on the environment as it increases the locational restriction from 500 feet to Packet Pg. 725
1,000 feet for a new alcoholic beverage sales activity from sensitive land uses.
Discussion
On August 3, 2022, the Mayor and City Council conducted a public hearing and introduced Ordinance No. MC 1592 amending Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section III(A)-(I) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Locational Restrictions) and Section
19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section VI(D)-(E) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Permit Application) of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code (Title 19) to increase the locational restriction from 500 feet to 1,000 feet for new alcoholic beverage sales activities from sensitive land uses.
Ordinance No. MC-1592 is now ready for adoption and will become effective on October 21, 2022.
2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
Development Code Amendment 22-04 aligns with Key Target No. 4(b): Update the General Plan and Development Code. Specifically, the amendment to the Development Code for location regulations of alcoholic beverage sales activities proposed under Development Code Amendment 22-04 will preserve the integrity of the commercial corridors, residential neighborhoods and sensitive land uses within the City.
Fiscal Impact
There will be no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund with this action.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Ordinance No. MC-1592 approving Development Code Amendment 22-04 amending Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section III(A)-(I) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Locational Restrictions) and Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section VI(D)- (E) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Permit Application) of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code (Title 19) to increase the locational restriction from 500 feet to 1,000 feet for new alcoholic beverage sales activities from sensitive land uses (Attachment 1).

ACT.
WHEREAS, the last comprehensive update to the City's Development Code (Title 19) was adopted in May 1991; and
WHEREAS, an application for a new convenience store with an Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) off-sale license requires the approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission. Additionally, the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has established license concentration standards allowing for a maximum of ABC off-sale licenses within the census tracts. If a new ABC off-sale license will cause the subject census tract to become over concentrated with ABC off-sale licenses, the Conditional Use Permit also requires a Public Convenience or Necessity Letter application for consideration by the Planning Commission; and WHEREAS, with the continued increase in the number of convenience store applications there has also been an increase in the number of requested ABC Type-20 (Off-Sale: Beer and Wine) and ABC Type-21 (Off-Sale: General – Beer, Wine and Distilled Spirits) Licenses. There has also been an increase in the number of census tracts with over concentrations. The over concentration of ABC off-sale licenses creates the potential for impairing the integrity and character of the commercial corridors and may be detrimental to sensitive land uses within the vicinity, such as schools, parks and places of worship; and WHEREAS, Development Code Amendment 22-04 is a City-initiated amendment to Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section III(A) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Locational Restrictions) and Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section VI(D)-(E) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Permit Application) of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code (Title 19) to increase the locational restriction from 500 feet to 1,000 feet for new alcoholic beverage sales activities from sensitive land uses; and

ORDINANCE NO. MC-1592
2 WHEREAS, pursuant to requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the Planning Division of the Community and Economic Development Department evaluated Development Code Amendment 22-04 and determined that it is not a project within the meaning of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, and alternatively is exempt from CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) (Review for Exemption) of the CEQA Guidelines; and WHEREAS, on April 12, 2022, the Planning Commission of the City of San Bernardino held a duly noticed public hearing to consider public testimony and the staff report, and adopted Resolution 2022-030 forwarding a recommendation of approval of Development Code Amendment 22-04 to the Mayor and City Council; and
WHEREAS, notice of the August 3, 2022 public hearing for the Mayor and City Council's consideration of this proposed Ordinance was published in The Sun newspaper on July 23, 2022 in accordance with Development Code Chapter 19.52; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the requirements of Chapters 19.52 (Hearing and Appeals) and Chapter 19.42 (Development Code Amendments) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code, the Mayor and City Council have the authority to take action on Ordinance No. MC-1592.
NOW THEREFORE, THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. As the decision-making body for the project, the Mayor and City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the administrative record for Development Code Amendment 22-04.
Based upon the facts and information contained in the administrative record, including all written and oral evidence presented to the Mayor and City Council, the Mayor and City Council hereby finds, as follows:
(1) The administrative record has been completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines;
(2) Development Code Amendment 22-04 is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. Development Code Amendment 22-04 does not authorize any specific development within the City’s boundaries. Development Code Amendment 22-04 is exempt from CEQA because the adoption of the Development Code Amendment is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3)). The Development Code Amendment to increase of the locational restriction from 500 feet to 1,000 feet for a new alcoholic beverage sales activity from sensitive land uses is exempt from the requirements of CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) (Review for Exemption) of the CEQA Guidelines due to the fact that the Development Code Amendment will not create significant Packet Pg. 729
ORDINANCE NO. MC-1592
3 effects on the environment as it consists of updates to the alcoholic beverage sales requirements; and
(3) The determination of CEQA exemption reflects the independent judgment of the Mayor and City Council.

Request for Council Action
Date: September 21, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager
By: Nathan Freeman, Agency Director of Community, Housing, and Economic Development
Department: Community & Economic Development (CED)
Subject: Amendment No.2 to the ESG-CV Subrecipient Agreement with Lutheran Social Services of Southern California
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approve Amendment No. 2 to the Emergency Solutions Grant-Cares Act (ESG-CV) Program Subrecipient Agreement with Lutheran Social Services of Southern California.
Background
The City received special funds (“ESG-CV Funds”) under the Emergency Solutions Grants (“ESG”) program, as authorized under Subtitle B of Title IV of the McKinneyVento Homeless Assistance from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"), as authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”).
The CARES Act authorized ESG-CV Funds, which was intended to supplement the CITY’s existing operational budget for the ESG Program, to respond to critical needs of the community by providing services to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 public health crisis.
On April 2, 2020, the City of San Bernardino (City) entered into an agreement with Packet Pg. 735
Lutheran Social Services of Southern California (LSSSC), a private non-profit corporation licensed to do business in the State of California and authorized $373,742 ESG-CV funds for Emergency Shelter.
On September 22, 2021, the Mayor and City Council approved the First Amendment to the Subrecipient Agreement in which Section III (Term of Agreement) was extended from April 2, 2020, to June 30, 2022.
Discussion
LSSSC has requested a term date extension to the Subrecipient Agreement to spend down remaining ESG-CV funding on eligible shelter care activities. The term of the Agreement will extend from June 30, 2022, until September 30, 2022. The request came due to several unforeseen staffing issues related to COVID-19 over the past year. As of July 28, 2022, LSSSC had a remaining ESG-CV balance of $24,142.52, which they expressed will be fully expended by the September 30, 2022, deadline.
City staff determined that LSSSC has continually acted in good faith to comply with the Agreement and has, to the best of their ability, made an earnest effort to mitigate further delays. The extension of the Agreement to September 30, 2022, is within the Housing and Urban Development’s guidelines and should not cause any compliance issues. 2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
The request for the Subrecipient Term of Agreement extension aligns with Key Target No. 3: Improved Quality of Life, by improving shelter care and services to homeless individuals within the City.
Fiscal Impact
Approval of the Second Amendment to the Subrecipient Agreement will not impact the General Fund.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approve Amendment No. 2 to the Emergency Solutions Grant-Cares Act (ESG-CV) Program Subrecipient Agreement with Lutheran Social Services of Southern California.

(3) Where the CITY has reasonable grounds to question the fiscal accountability, financial soundness, or compliance with this AGREEMENT by the SUBRECIPIENT, the CITY may suspend the operation of this AGREEMENT for up to sixty (60) days upon three (3) days' notice to SUBRECIPIENT of the CITY’S intention to so act, pending an audit or other resolution of such questions.

The SUBRECIPIENT shall keep all records of the Account in a manner that is consistent with generally-accepted accounting principles. No monies shall be withdrawn from the Account except for expenditures relating to essential services, homeless prevention, operations costs and/or other permissible ESG-CV Program expenditures, as authorized hereunder. All disbursements from the Account shall be for obligations incurred in the performance of this AGREEMENT and shall be supported by contracts, invoices, vouchers, and other data, as appropriate, evidencing the necessity of such expenditure. The CITY may withhold payment allocation requests if the SUBRECIPIENT fails to comply with the above-stated requirements until such compliance is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the CITY.
H. Expenditure of Funds
SUBRECIPIENT is required to expend all of the ESG-CV Funds for eligible ESG-CV Program activity costs within the term of this AGREEMENT. For the purposes of this paragraph, expenditure means either an actual cash disbursement for a direct charge for goods or services or an indirect cost, or the accrual of a direct charge for goods or services or an indirect cost.

Third Amendment to the Community Development Block
Grant-Cares Act Subrecipient Agreement with the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approve Amendment No. 3 to the Community Development Block GrantCares Act (CDBG-CV) Subrecipient Agreement with the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB).
Background
At a public hearing on September 16, 2020, the Mayor and City Council approved the City of San Bernardino’s (City) Substantial Amendment to the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Action Plan (FY 2020-21 AP). As a result of the Substantial Amendment, one of the activities funded was the Eviction Prevention Program. The program’s intent is to prevent evictions by providing payment of rent arrears to landlords of low-income tenants throughout the City, who have experienced financial hardship due to COVID19.
The HACSB was initially approved for a maximum CDBG-CV award amount of $1,060,000, but HACSB was unsure if it would be able to expend funds in a timely manner due to negative impacts associated with COVID-19. As a result, on March 9, 2021, a First Amendment to the CDBG-CV Subrecipient Agreement with HACSB was executed to reduce the award amount from $1,060,000 to $660,000.
Packet Pg. 814
On July 12, 2021, a Second Amendment to the CDBG-CV Subrecipient Agreement with HACSB was executed increasing the eviction prevention award funds back to the original award amount of $1,060,000. The reason for the Second Amendment was because HACSB had determined that it did in fact have the staffing capacity to fully operate the eviction prevention program.
Discussion
The intent of the Eviction Prevention Program is to prevent evictions by providing payments of rent arrears to landlords of low-income tenants throughout the City, who have experienced financial hardship due to COVID-19. The program is managed by HACSB, which has extensive experience in managing rental assistance programs countywide. The program does not provide mortgage assistance as deferral of mortgage payment assistance is offered directly by lenders.
HACSB is requesting a Third Amendment to its Subrecipient Agreement because there is a remaining unspent balance of $386,847.93 and the Term of Agreement ended on June 30, 2022. Since there are a considerable amount of San Bernardino residents who still need financial assistance with rent arrears, HACSB would like to extend the Term of Agreement date on its Subrecipient Agreement from June 30, 2022, to June 30, 2023.
2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
Authorizing the Third Amendment to the Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus Subrecipient Agreement between the City of San Bernardino and the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino aligns with Key Target No. 3:
Improved Quality of Life by dedicating resources to assist those financially impacted by COVID-19 and reduce the burden of homelessness through collaboration with other entities.
Fiscal Impact
No fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with this action.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approve Amendment No. 3 to the Community Development Block GrantCares Act (CDBG-CV) Subrecipient Agreement with the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB).

This Third Amendment (“Third Amendment”) to the Community Development Block Grant – Coronavirus Subrecipient Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between the City of San Bernardino (the “City”), a charter city organized under the laws of the State of California, and the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (the “Subrecipient”), a California Public Entity as of ___________________, 2022. City and Subrecipient are at times referred to individually as “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” WHEREAS, the City is typically the recipient of certain funds (the “CDBG Funds”) provided from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) under the Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) Program, pursuant to the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (42 U.S.C.

WHEREAS, on March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared a national emergency due to the ongoing pandemic for the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 known as “COVID-19,” and thereafter on March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed H.R. 748 (PL 116-136), known as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The CARES Act provides an additional $5 billion of Community Development Block Grant – Coronavirus (“CDBG-CV”) supplemental funding to rapidly prepare, prevent, and respond to the coronavirus pandemic; and WHEREAS, on April 2, 2020, HUD notified the City that it had allocated $2,003,529 in CDBG-CV funds to the City.

55600.00100\40651495.1
WHEREAS, on July 1, 2021, the Parties intended to amend the Agreement to incorporate the amount of funds originally approved by the City Council, so the maximum amount of the subgrant was increased to $1,060,000; and
WHEREAS, now the Parties desire to amend the Agreement to extend the Term of Agreement from June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023; and

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: September 21, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager
By: Barbara Whitehorn, Agency Director of Administrative Services Department: Finance
Subject: Technical Corrections to Previously Adopted Items: 1) Resolution No. 2022-170 amending the FY 2022/23-24 biennial budget to transfer funds between the General Fund and the Fleet Services Fund, and 2) Resolution No. 2022-179 approving, among other things, the addition of the Plans Examiner II position in the Community and Economic Development Department.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California reaffirm their previous action of:
1. Adopting Resolution No. 2022-170 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to transfer $1,200,000 in the fiscal year 2022/23 operating budget from the General Fund to the Fleet Fund, and
2. Adopting Resolution No. 2022-179 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, which, among other things, approved the addition of the Plans Examiner II position.
Background
Items that are not properly listed on the public agenda should be revisited at a future Council meeting to ensure full transparency and legal compliance. As the City has transitioned to a new agenda management system, there have been inevitable growing pains associated with working in a new system - including both technical and Packet Pg. 938
operational issues, which staff is diligently working to address. Unfortunately, as a result of these issues, an item was listed incorrectly on the agenda for each of the past two meetings. Although the staff reports and attachments were correct, it is important for the agenda proper to accurately reflect the actions being taken. These items should be reaffirmed by the Mayor and City Council in open session for transparency and to ensure that the City complies with all legal requirements.
Discussion
The following two items were not properly listed on the publicly posted agendas for the August 3 and August 17, 2022 City Council meetings:
1. Resolution 2022-170 amending the FY 2022/23-24 biennial budget to transfer funds between the General Fund and the Fleet Services Fund for the Enterprise Leasing contract was not properly listed on the August 3, 2022 agenda. Council adopted the amendment; however, because it was not listed as a budget amendment on the publicly posted agenda, the item is required to be brought back to Council as a technical correction.
2. The approval of the Plans Examiner II position was not listed in the agenda on August 17, 2022, though it was identified in the staff report and included in the attached and adopted Resolution No. 2022-179. Council adopted the Resolution; however, because the Plans Examiner II position was not explicitly listed on the publicly posted agenda, the item is being brought back to Council as a technical correction.
The staff reports and attachments correctly described the action proposed by staff. 2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
These technical corrections align with Key Target No. 1c: Improved Operational and Financial Capacity - implement, maintain and update a fiscal accountability plan, by upholding financial transparency and accountability.
Fiscal Impact
Technical corrections have no fiscal impact.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California reaffirm their previous action of:
1. Adopting Resolution No. 2022-170 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to transfer $1,200,000 in the fiscal year 2022/23 operating budget from the General Fund to the Fleet Fund, and
2. Adopting Resolution No. 2022-179 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, which, among other things, approved the addition of the Plans Examiner II position.

Request for Council Action
Date: September 21, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager
By: Barbara Whitehorn, Agency Director of Administrative Services Department: Finance
Subject: Grant Awards for Speicher Memorial Park Project Recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-205 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Accepting a grant award in the amount of $1,000,000 from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians for improvements to Speicher Memorial Park;
2. Accepting a grant award in the amount of $950,000 from the County of San Bernardino for improvements to Speicher Memorial Park;

Background
In June of 2021, the County of San Bernardino Board of Supervisors passed the San Bernardino County Local Fiscal Recovery Fund Spending Plan to spend its $423.5M allotment of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding. This plan outlines the county’s goals and investment strategies to support recovery efforts post pandemic. Three overarching spending goals were identified:1) Pandemic Response - $138.5M allocated, 2) Economic Recovery - $175M allocated, and 3) Government Operations - $110M. There are many subcategories identified in each goal to address the varying needs to rebuild stronger communities throughout the County. Acceptable projects include improvements to broadband, water, and Packet Pg. 947
sewer; homeless and housing services; testing and vaccination programs; and strategic business partnerships, infrastructure, and region-based specific projects.
San Manuel Band of Mission Indians maintains a philanthropic giving arm that provides grant support directed to non-profit and public organizations operating in San Bernardino and Riverside counties, as well as Las Vegas. The City has a long-standing partnership with San Manuel where oftentimes city projects are awarded grant funds that closely align with their pillars of giving: Inspiring Our Future through Education, Preserving Cultural Traditions & Empowering Indian Country, Empowering Lives, and Reinforcing Safe and Resilient Communities.
Both funding opportunities provided the City of San Bernardino an avenue for funding the rehabilitation efforts to Speicher Memorial Park.
Discussion
The proposed project submitted to both San Bernardino County and San Manuel was the rehabilitation of Speicher Memorial Park. The primary objective of the project is to focus on the high-priority communities and the need for improvements to city parks. Improvements to Speicher Memorial Park in particular, will allow engagement emphasized in recreation centers including playgrounds, baseball diamonds, gymnasiums, and outdoor basketball courts to help the violence intervention and prevention program to provide services to disconnected youth.
The proposal to the County of San Bernardino for this project was awarded for $950,000 with an additional $1M from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians for improvements to Speicher Memorial Park. A total of $1,950,000 was awarded for demolition and replacement of the existing building, field lighting upgrades, reseeding, leveling and renovation of baseball field, new scoreboard, bleachers and dugout shades, ADA accessible facilities and general amenities improvements.
The funding for the Speicher Memorial Park project from San Manuel must be expended with 18 months of the agreement effective date and County ARPA funds must be encumbered by December 31, 2024, and fully expended prior to December 31, 2026.
2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with the Key Target No. 2: Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community through the opportunity to improve city parks, increase community engagement and involvement in city-run recreation activities, and Key Target No. 3:
Improved Quality of Life through encouraging active lifestyles and crime reduction through built environment and increased community visibility.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the general fund for this project. The budget for fiscal year 2022/23 shall be amended to recognize $950,000 from the County of San Bernardino, Packet Pg. 948
$1M from San Manuel Band of Mission Indians for a total of $1,950,000 in grant funding for the Speicher Memorial Park project.

Adopt Resolution No. 2022-205 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

During the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees as follows:
(1) The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.

This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information. (4) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of Packet Pg. 966

(7) In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.

The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:
Provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
The applicant further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause with respect to its own employment practices when it participates in federally assisted construction work: Provided, that if the applicant so participating is a State or local government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such government which does not participate in work on or under the contract.
The applicant agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of contractors and subcontractors with the equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor, that it will furnish the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor such information as they may require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the administering agency in the discharge of the agency's primary responsibility for securing compliance.

The Contractor shall, as a penalty, forfeit two hundred dollars ($200.00) to the County for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing rates as determined by the Director of the DIR for such work or craft in which such worker is employed by the Contractor or by any subcontractor in connection with the Scope of Work.

(1) The body that awarded the contract failed, in the bid specification or in the contract documents, to identify as a public work that portion of the work that the determination or decision subsequently classifies as a public work.
(2) Within 20 days following service of notice on the awarding body of a determination by the Director of Industrial Relations pursuant to Section 1773.5 or a decision by a court that the contract was for public work as defined in this chapter, the contractor and any subcontractors are registered under this section or are replaced by a contractor or subcontractors who are registered under this section.

Rev. 5/8/20 Page 31 of 37
Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded.
(b) Notice of the requirement described in subdivision (a) shall be included in all bid invitations and public works contracts, and a bid shall not be accepted nor any contract or subcontract entered into without proof of the contractor or subcontractor's current registration to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5. (c) An inadvertent error in listing a subcontractor who is not registered pursuant to Section 1725.5 in a bid proposal shall not be grounds for filing a bid protest or grounds for considering the bid nonresponsive, provided that any of the following apply:
(1) The subcontractor is registered prior to the bid opening. (2) Within 24 hours after the bid opening, the subcontractor is registered and has paid the penalty registration fee specified in subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1725.5.
(3) The subcontractor is replaced by another registered subcontractor pursuant to Section 4107 of the Public Contract Code.
(d) Failure by a subcontractor to be registered to perform public work as required by subdivision (a) shall be grounds under Section 4107 of the Public Contract Code for the contractor, with the consent of the awarding authority, to substitute a subcontractor who is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 in place of the unregistered subcontractor.
(e) The department shall maintain on its Internet Web site a list of contractors who are currently registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5.

(g) If the Labor Commissioner or his or her designee determines that a contractor or subcontractor engaged in the performance of any public work contract without having been registered in accordance with this section, the contractor or subcontractor shall forfeit, as a civil penalty to the state, one hundred dollars ($100) for each day of work performed in violation of the registration requirement, not to exceed an aggregate penalty of eight thousand dollars ($8,000) in addition to any penalty registration fee assessed pursuant to clause (ii) of subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1725.5.

Rev. 5/8/20 Page 32 of 37
registration requirement, not to exceed an aggregate penalty of ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
(2) The Labor Commissioner shall use the same standards specified in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1775 when determining the severity of the violation and what penalty to assess, and may waive the penalty for a first time violation that was unintentional and did not hinder the Labor Commissioner’s ability to monitor and enforce compliance with the requirements of this chapter. (3) A higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor shall not be liable for penalties assessed pursuant to paragraph (1) if the lower tier subcontractor’s performance is in violation of the requirements of Section 1725.5 due to the revocation of a previously approved registration.
(4) A subcontractor shall not be liable for any penalties assessed against a higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor pursuant to paragraph (1). A higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor may not require a lower tiered subcontractor to indemnity or otherwise be liable for any penalties pursuant to paragraph (1).

(j)(1) Where a contractor or subcontractor engages in the performance of any public work contract without having been registered in violation of the requirements of Section 1725.5 or this section, the Labor Commissioner shall issue and serve a stop order prohibiting the use of the unregistered contractor or the unregistered subcontractor on all public works until the unregistered contractor or unregistered subcontractor is registered. The stop order shall not apply to work by registered contractors or subcontractors on the public work.
(2) A stop order may be personally served upon the contractor or subcontractor by either of the following methods:
(A) Manual delivery of the order to the contractor or subcontractor personally. (B) Leaving signed copies of the order with the person who is apparently in charge at the site of the public work and by thereafter mailing copies of the order by first class mail, postage prepaid to the contractor or subcontractor at one of the following:

(ii) If the contractor or subcontractor has no address on file with the Secretary of State or the Contractors’ State License Board, the address of the site of the public work.
Packet Pg. 990
Rev. 5/8/20 Page 33 of 37
(3) The stop order shall be effective immediately upon service and shall be subject to appeal by the party contracting with the unregistered contractor or subcontractor, by the unregistered contractor or subcontractor, or both. The appeal, hearing, and any further review of the hearing decision shall be governed by the procedures, time limits, and other requirements specified in subdivision (a) of Section 238.1. (4) Any employee of an unregistered contractor or subcontractor who is affected by a work stoppage ordered by the commissioner pursuant to this subdivision shall be paid at his or her regular hourly prevailing wage rate by that employer for any hours the employee would have worked but for the work stoppage, not to exceed 10 days. (k) Failure of a contractor or subcontractor, owner, director, officer, or managing agent of the contractor or subcontractor to observe a stop order issued and served upon him or her pursuant to subdivision (j) is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in county jail not exceeding 60 days or by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or both.
(l) This section shall apply to any bid proposal submitted on or after March 1, 2015, and any contract for public work entered into on or after April 1, 2015.

STATE PUBLIC WORKS APPRENTICESHIP REQUIREMENTS
1. State Public Works Apprenticeship Requirements:
a. The Contractor is responsible for compliance with Labor Code section 1777.5 and the California Code of Regulations, title 8, sections 230 – 230.2 for all apprenticeable occupations (denoted with “#” symbol next to craft name in DIR Prevailing Wage Determination), whether employed by the Contractor, subcontractor, vendor or consultant. Included in these requirements is (1) the Contractor’s requirement to provide notification (i.e. DAS-140) to the appropriate apprenticeship committees; (2) pay training fund contributions for each apprenticeable hour employed on the Contract; and (3) utilize apprentices in a minimum ratio of not less than one apprentice hour for each five journeyman hours by completion of Contract work (unless an exception is granted in accordance with Labor Code section 1777.5) or request for the dispatch of apprentices. b. Any apprentices employed to perform any of the Scope of Work shall be paid the standard wage to apprentices under the regulations of the craft or trade for which such apprentice is employed, and such individual shall be employed only for the work of the craft or trade to which such individual is registered. Only apprentices, as defined in California Labor Code section 3077, who are in training under apprenticeship standards and written apprenticeship agreements under California Labor Code sections 3070 et seq. are eligible to be employed for the Scope of Work. The employment and training of each apprentice shall be in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship standards and apprentice agreements under which such apprentice is training.
2. Compliance with California Labor Code section 1777.5 requires all public works contractors to:
a. Submit Contract Award Information (DAS-140):
Packet Pg. 992
Rev. 5/8/20 Page 35 of 37
i. Although there are a few exemptions (identified below), all Contractors, regardless of union affiliation, must submit contract award information when performing on a California public works project.
ii. The DAS-140 is a notification “announcement” of the Contractor’s participation on a public works project—it is not a request for the dispatch of an apprentice. iii. Contractors shall submit the contract award information (you may use form DAS 140) within 10 days of the execution of the prime contract or subcontract, but in no event later than the first day in which the Contractor has workers employed on the public work.
iv. Contractors who are already approved to train apprentices (i.e. check “Box 1” on the DAS-140) shall only be required to submit the form to their approved program.
v. Contractors who are NOT approved to train apprentices (i.e. those that check either “Box 2” or “Box 3” on the DAS-140) shall submit the DAS-140 TO EACH of the apprenticeship program sponsors in the area of your public works project. For a listing of apprenticeship programs see
http://www.dir.ca.gov/Databases/das/pwaddrstart.asp.
b. Employ Registered Apprentices
i. Labor Code section 1777.5 requires that a contractor performing work in an “apprenticeable” craft must employ one (1) hour of apprentice work for every five (5) hours performed by a journeyman. This ratio shall be met prior to the Contractor’s completion of work on the project. “Apprenticeable” crafts are denoted with a pound symbol “#” in front of the craft name on the prevailing wage determination.
ii. All Contractors who do not fall within an exemption category (see below) must request for dispatch of an apprentice from an apprenticeship program (for each apprenticeable craft or trade) by giving the program actual notice of at least 72 hours (business days only) before the date on which apprentices are required. iii. Contractors may use the “DAS-142” form for making a request for the dispatch of an apprentice.
iv. Contractors who are participating in an approved apprenticeship training program and who did not receive sufficient number of apprentices from their initial request must request dispatch of apprentices from ALL OTHER apprenticeship committees in the project area in order to fulfill this requirement. v. Contractor should maintain and submit proof (when requested) of its DAS-142 submittal to the apprenticeship committees (e.g. fax transmittal confirmation). A Contractor has met its requirement to employ apprentices only after it has successfully made a dispatch request to all apprenticeship programs in the project area.
vi. Only “registered” apprentices may be paid the prevailing apprentice rates and must, at all times work under the supervision of a Journeyman (Cal. Code Regs., tit 8, § 230.1).
c. Make Training Fund Contributions
i. Contractors performing in apprenticeable crafts on public works projects, must make training fund contributions in the amount established in the prevailing wage rate publication for journeymen and apprentices.
ii. Contractors may use the “CAC-2” form for submittal of their training fund contributions.
iii. Contractors who do not submit their training fund contributions to an approved apprenticeship training program must submit their contributions to the California Apprenticeship Council (CAC), PO Box 420603, San Francisco, CA 94142-0603.
Packet Pg. 993
Rev. 5/8/20 Page 36 of 37
iv. Training fund contributions to the CAC are due and payable on the 15th day of the month for work performed during the preceding month. v. The “training” contribution amount identified on the prevailing wage determination shall not be paid to the worker, unless the worker falls within one of the exemption categories listed below.
3. Exemptions to Apprenticeship Requirements:
a. The following are exempt from having to comply with California apprenticeship requirements. These types of contractors do not need to submit a DAS-140, DAS-142, make training fund contributions, or utilize apprentices:
i. When the Contractor holds a sole proprietor license (“Owner-Operator”) and no workers were employed by the Contractor. In other words, the contractor performed the entire work from start to finish and worked alone. ii. Contractors performing in non-apprenticeable crafts. “Apprenticeable” crafts are denoted with a pound symbol “#” in front of the craft name on the prevailing wage determination.
iii. When the Contractor has a direct contract with the Public Agency that is under $30,000.
iv. When the project is 100% federally-funded and the funding of the project does not contain any city, county, and/or state monies (unless the project is administered by a state agency in which case the apprenticeship requirements apply).
v. When the project is a private project not covered by the definition of public works as found in Labor Code section 1720.
4. Exemption from Apprenticeship Rations:
a. The Joint Apprenticeship Committee shall have the discretion to grant a certificate, which shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator of Apprenticeship, exempting the Contractor from the 1-to-5 ratio set forth in this Section when it finds that any one of the following conditions are met:
i. Unemployment for the previous three-month period in such area exceeds an average of fifteen percent (15%); or
ii. The number of apprentices in training in such area exceeds a ratio of 1-to-5 in relation to journeymen; or
iii. The Apprenticeable Craft or Trade is replacing at least one-thirtieth (1/30) of its journeymen annually through apprenticeship training, either on a statewide basis or on a local basis; or
iv. If assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under the Contract Documents would create a condition which would jeopardize such apprentice's life or the life, safety or property of fellow employees or the public at large, or if the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of such a nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyman.
b. When such exemptions from the 1-to-5 ratio between apprentices and journeymen are granted to an organization which represents contractors in a specific trade on a local or statewide basis, the member contractors will not be required to submit individual applications for approval to local Joint Apprenticeship Committees, provided they are already covered by the local apprenticeship standards.
Packet Pg. 994
Rev. 5/8/20 Page 37 of 37
5. Contractor’s Compliance:
a. The responsibility of compliance with this Section for all Apprenticeable Trades or Crafts is solely and exclusively that of the Contractor. All decisions of the Joint Apprenticeship Committee(s) under this Section are subject to the provisions of California Labor Code section 3081 and penalties are pursuant to Labor Code section 1777.7 and the determination of the Labor Commissioner.

EXHIBIT A – SCOPE OF EXPENDITURES
APPLIES TO AGREEMENT ARPA21-PRJC-018-SAN BETWEEN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTY AND CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO RELATED TO THE CORONAVIRUS LOCAL
FISCAL RECOVERY FUND FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
1. The following is the mutually agreed upon scope of expenditures to be funded by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (CLFRF) received by San Bernardino County:
The renovation of Speicher Memorial Park will assist in building a stronger neighborhood community and allow for outdoor recreation and socialization that can help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Speicher Memorial Park and the surrounding community is located in Qualified Census Tract 06071007408, which has seen a disproportionate negative economic impact as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the COVID-19 pandemic, urban park and recreational facility use saw a decline among lower-income individuals. This decline and contribute to a sedentary lifestyle, which is a risk factor for chronic diseases and more severe COVID-19 outcomes.
The renovations at Speicher Memorial Park serve to increase the surrounding community’s outdoor physical activity, which plays an important role in improving health outcomes. Currently, the City has only one lighted multipurpose field; the installation of a lighting system at Speicher Memorial Park will allow the City to encourage and accommodate a growing list of youth sports groups from the surrounding community.
The new bleachers will replace old, deteriorated ones that have limited seating capacity, allowing the park’s fields to accommodate more socially distanced seating opportunities.
Coupled with the improved amenities and field renovations, the park will encourage more members of the community to engage in outdoor physical activities. As a result, the renovation of Speicher Memorial Park is consistent with the Department of the Treasury’s guidance regarding the use of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. In its Final Rule, the Department of the Treasury states, “investments in parks, public plazas, and other public outdoor recreation spaces may be responsive to the needs of disproportionately impacted communities by promoting healthier living environments” (87 Fed. Reg. 4372).
The public health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic also encompass more than the disease itself. The U.S. Department of the Treasury recognizes that COVID-19 has had a substantial impact on mental health and public safety challenges like violent crime.
These challenges are correlated with a neighborhood’s build environment and features and have disproportionately impacted low-income communities. Speicher Memorial Park is in the Eastside community of San Bernardino, which is impacted by violent gang activity and other public safety challenges. Investing in neighborhood features, such as Speicher Memorial Park, will promote improved health and safety outcomes and help respond to the pre-existing disparities that contributed to COVID-19’s disproportionate impacts on low-income communities.
Packet Pg. 996
2. Not-to-exceed amount of expenditures described in 1, above, obligated during the period of June 1, 2022 and June 30, 2024 and expanded on or before December 31, 2026 is $950,000.
3. The following is the list of projected expenditures that will be funded by the CLFRF and the scope identified in 1, above:
Expenditure Type (e.g., Payroll) Projected Expenditures* Demolishing and replacing existing building $250,000
Upgrade Lights $240,000
New Bleachers $100,000
Park Amenities $10,000
Field Renovation $250,000
Design $100,000
Total Expenditure $950,000
*Note: Projected expenditures may differ from the actual costs but a total amount of expenditure shall not exceed the amount as specified in Section 2, above.
4. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that any procurement using CLFRF funds, or payments under procurement contracts using such funds are consistent with the procurement standards set forth in the Uniform Guidance at Title 2 C.F.R. Sections 200.317 - 200.327, as applicable. The Uniform Guidance establishes in Title 2 C.F.R.
Section 200.319 that all procurement transactions for property or services must be conducted in a manner providing full and open competition, consistent with standards outlined in Title 2 C.F.R. Section 200.320. If the full and open procurement is not applicable, provide a reason for its exemption:

Discussion
Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and read a federal order abolishing the institution of slavery in the state. The moment was significant. Texas had been the last of the Confederate states in which enslavement continued, despite President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation to end slavery in 1863 and despite the end of the Civil War on April 9, 1865. Those who were freed from bondage celebrated their long-overdue emancipation on June 19th.
