Request for Council Action
Date: November 16, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager
Lydie Gutfeld, Director of Parks, Recreation & Community Services
Department: Parks & Recreation & Community Services
Subject: Approve the awards of $98,000 for Visual and
Performing Arts Grant to winning applications
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorize Visual and Performance Art Grant awards to winning applications totaling $98,000.
Background
The Visual and Performing Arts Grant provided by the City of San Bernardino Arts & Historical Preservation Commission received 9 applications, which were reviewed by commissioners and staff. The amounts awarded have been discussed and agreed upon by the majority of the commissioners.
Due to three commissioners not submitting input on scoring for the grant, staff has tabulated total amounts and averages and has made the recommendation to the commission to use the averages from all commissioner input given for award allocations. A special meeting was held on October 31, 2022, for a final vote. A majority of the commissioners were present for a vote on this action item on the special meeting agenda.
Discussion
$100,000 was allocated in June 2022, by the Mayor and City Council for the grant. The grant application deadline had to be extended twice to receive an appropriate number of applications. Due to lack of applications, staff, with approval from the commission in September 2022, provided aid to artists, in grant form, for the Annual Festival Event and Arts Fest. Through this special provision, artists who applied were provided up to $250 to cover costs of event applications, one-month business license, and one-day insurance for Festival and Arts Fest. The cost of the grant special provision totaled Packet Pg. 566
$2,000. The remaining $98,000 was made available to applicants for the Visual and Performing Arts Grant.
The maximum amount an applicant may request is $25,000. The application process was reviewed and approved by the commission in April 2022. In addition to a thorough review of the application process, a mid-year audit was drafted by staff, approved by commissioners and then added to complete the grant process to ensure proper use of funds. Completion of the Semi-Annual reporting form will be required of all grantees at the six-month point of their grant allocation. Grantees will be required to present to the commission their progress and successful use of funds. In addition, Commissioners will have the chance to question grantees with concerns they may have in regards to effective use of funds.
At this time the average of all input provided from the commissioners show the following awards for the applicants listed:
The total allocation with averages is $87,880. This leaves a remaining balance of $10,120. The Arts and Historical Commissioners motion carried (5 for, 1 opposed, and 3 absent) in favor of the Arts Grant awards. In addition, the Commissioners carried an additional motion (6 for, 0 opposed, and 3 absent) to use the remaining funds balance to open an additional grant for artists that are not a 501(C)(3) that can provide artistic value to the city. Staff was directed to report back in January with a new grant criterion for additional local artists to apply.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The approval of the grant allocations aligns with Goal No. 2: Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community by providing opportunities to an underserved community to engage in participation of visual and performance arts are various community locations throughout the city; and Goal No. 3: Improved Quality of Life whereby the community has access and introduction to art center programs and amenities throughout the city.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact as the funds for this program have already been allocated.

Request for Council Action
Date: November 16, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Darren Goodman, Chief of Police
Department: Police
Subject: Purchase of Cellular Site Simulator Equipment (All Wards)
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-239 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approving the Cellular Site Simulator Usage and Privacy Policy and authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the Adopted FY2022/2024 budget by $460,000, and issue a Purchase order to Tactical Support Equipment in an amount not to exceed $860,000.
Background
The San Bernardino Police Department is a participant in the Riverside Urban Area Security Initiative work group (Riverside UASI). Riverside UASI is funded through federal funding and is intended to fund projects that will improve the security of the Riverside UASI region which includes San Bernardino County. As a participant in this regionally based group, the San Bernardino Police Department is entitled to submit requests for grant funding on a wide variety of projects related to the preparation for, prevention of, response to, and recovery from events that represent a security risk to the region and its residents. Each grant project submitted by the San Bernardino Police Department and other participating agencies is reviewed by a steering committee that directs the spending of the available grant funds toward projects that meet federal guidelines and the more specific goals of the Riverside UASI region.
For Fiscal Year 2020, the San Bernardino Police Department submitted a grant proposal to the Riverside UASI program for the purchase of cellular site simulator equipment. The proposal was reviewed by the steering committee who determined it had value for improving the Riverside UASI work group’s capabilities in the areas of prevention of and response to potential security threats to the region. The UASI Steering Committee granted $400,000 in funding toward the purchase of cellular site simulator equipment with an additional $25,000 for purchase of a vehicle for the equipment to be mounted into. The grant award was accepted by the Mayor and Council on December 1, 2021, and the FY 2021/2022 budget was amended to Packet Pg. 587
incorporate the additional funding.
Discussion
The San Bernardino Police Department constantly evaluates technology available to law enforcement and considers the potential for that technology to benefit law enforcement efforts and public safety goals in the City of San Bernardino. As the Police Department has sought new methods and technology to aid in the reduction of violent crime, it has also considered the need to more rapidly apprehend those identified as being involved in the commission of violent criminal acts, serious felony crimes, or terrorist acts. Additionally, the Police and Fire Departments are responsible for coordinating rescue operations in the City of San Bernardino during major disasters, with the goal of rapidly locating and rescuing disaster victims. One such tool available to law enforcement to meet both goals is a cellular site simulator.
Cellular site simulators work in conjunction with cellular technology to aid investigators with locating individuals and have been in use by law enforcement agencies for several years. The San Bernardino Police Department has followed the use of this technology by other agencies and identified multiple instances where having such technology for its own use would have been highly beneficial. In 2013, Christopher Dorner committed a series of murders throughout the Southern California region that terrorized residents.
The manhunt for Dorner ended in the local mountains and resulted in a violent confrontation between Dorner along with law enforcement officers from San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department and the San Bernardino Police Department.
The confrontation resulted in the death of Detective Jeremiah MacKay, life threatening injuries to a second deputy sheriff, and the death of Dorner himself. In December of 2015, the terrorist attack at the Inland Regional Center was perpetrated by suspects who were quickly identified. Both suspects in the terrorist attack represented a grave danger to the public, creating a need to quickly apprehend them and prevent further harm to the public. During each of these incidents the suspects were rapidly identified, but one of the major problems for law enforcement was locating the suspects after their identification. In both cases, a cellular site simulator would have been an effective apprehension tool.
Some local law enforcement agencies have acquired cellular site simulators and trained personnel in the use of the technology. Those agencies have found cell site simulators to be a vital tool for the apprehension of suspects who have committed serious felonies or violent acts, such as kidnapping and homicide. Cellular site simulators are in high demand, not just for the agencies that possess them, but also because those agencies that do not have this asset must seek assistance from agencies that do. Agencies with cellular site simulators regularly receive requests from both their own investigators and investigators from outside agencies, so they must prioritize the requests they receive. Since the San Bernardino Police Department lacks a cellular site simulator of its own, its investigators must seek assistance from other law enforcement agencies that possess this technology. To avoid over taxing those agencies, the Police Department triages investigations and reserves requesting assistance for cases involving the most severe offenders. Despite these efforts, there Packet Pg. 588
are often multi day delays before a cellular site simulator with a trained team of operators becomes available. Consequently, suspects are allowed more time to evade capture or commit additional criminal acts.
The usefulness of cellular site simulators is not limited to the apprehension of suspects involved in criminal acts alone. Cell site simulators can be a valuable resource during search and rescue or disaster situations as well. During events such as building collapses, cellular site simulators offer the ability to help rescuers determine how many potential victims may be trapped and aid with locating them in the rubble. They also have the potential to assist with locating at risk missing persons so they can be returned to safety before harm comes to them. During events such as disasters or searches for missing persons, time is of the essence, and more rapidly locating trapped or at-risk missing persons increases the likelihood of their survival or safe return.
The Police Department believes that a cellular site simulator would be a valuable tool for investigators that would improve the Police Department’s capabilities regarding suspect apprehension and search and rescue during disasters. The Police Department’s use of cell site simulator technology would occur within the guidelines of California Senate Bill 741 (SB 741), which requires law enforcement agencies create usage policies for this technology that uphold individual privacy rights and civil liberties.
The Police Department has crafted a use policy that is compliant with all elements of SB 741 and ensures that the technology will be used by police personnel in a manner that is consistent with the law and constitutional principles. Upon approval for the purchase of cell site simulator technology and the associated policy, the policy will be posted on the Police Department’s website to ensure it is publicly accessible in compliance with SB 741.
In June of 2022, the Finance Division hosted an open bidding process for the purchase of cell site simulator equipment. Four companies submitted bids that met specifications. The company able to provide the requested equipment for the lowest cost was Tactical Support Equipment who provided a bid of $848,786 for the cost of equipment and three years of maintenance and subscription. Based on their ability to provide the requested equipment at the lowest cost, Tactical Support Equipment (TSE) was selected as the winning bidder. The grant award from Riverside UASI provides $400,000 toward the purchase of the cellular site simulator equipment, leaving a remaining balance of $448,786 to be provided by the City. Funding to complete the purchase is available in the Asset Forfeiture Fund. Staff is recommending an appropriation of $460,000 to cover the balance and any unforeseen cost from the Asset Forfeiture Fund to the General Fund to complete the purchase. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request to spend grant funds for the purchase of cellular site simulator technology aligns with the following strategic targets and goal: 3.c. Improved Quality of Life: Constantly evaluate public safety service delivery models to enhance the quality of service.
Packet Pg. 589
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact to the City is $460,000, which will be transferred from the Asset Forfeiture Fund into the General Fund and appropriated into the Adopted Biennial 2022/2024 budget, for FY 2022/23. The balance of funding is currently included as a continued appropriation in the UASI 2020 grant program account.
Conclusion
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-239 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approving the Cellular Site Simulator Usage and Privacy Policy and authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the Adopted FY2022/2024 budget by $460,000, and issue a Purchase order to Tactical Support Equipment in an amount not to exceed $860,000.

Packet Pg. 606
RFQ F-22-73
E. Acceptance by Supplier of payment of the final Progress Milestone payment pursuant to Section 7.D will constitute a waiver, release and discharge of any and all claims and demands of any kind or character which Supplier then has, or can subsequently acquire against City, its successors and assigns, for or on account of any matter or thing arising out of, or in any manner connected with, the performance of this Agreement. However, payment for the final Progress Milestone by City will not constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any claims or demands which City then has, or can subsequently acquire, against Supplier, its successors and assigns, for or on account of any matter or thing arising out of, or in any manner connected with, the performance of this Agreement.
Section 8. SCHEDULE FOR DELIVERY.

Supplier agrees to timely pay all sales and use tax (including any value added or gross receipts tax imposed similar to a sales and use tax) imposed by any federal, state or local taxing authority on the ultimate purchase price of the Goods provided under this Agreement. Note-Vendor does not collect sales tax on out of state purchases by a municipality. If there are taxes or procurement fees levied on this purchase they must be stated prior to the execution of a purchased order and must be included in the overall price. No such fees are listed in this RFQ so it is assumed that no taxes or fees of any kind will be charged by the City of San Bernardino, the County of San Bernardino or the State of California.
B. Supplier will withhold, and require its subcontractors, where applicable, to withhold all required taxes and contributions of any federal, state or local taxing authority which is measured by wages, salaries or other remuneration of its employees or the employees of its subcontractors.

City shall not be obligated in any way to pay any wage claims or other claims made against Supplier by any such employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors or any other person resulting from performance of this Agreement.
Section 11. SUBCONTRACTS.
Unless otherwise specified, Supplier must obtain City’s written permission before subcontracting any portion of the Goods. Except for the insurance requirements in Section 13.A, all subcontracts and orders for the purchase or rental of supplies, materials or equipment, or any other part of the Goods, will require that the subcontractor be bound by and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement. No subcontract or order will relieve Supplier from its obligations to City, including, but not limited to Supplier’s insurance and indemnification obligations. No subcontract or order will bind City.
Section 12. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS.
Unless otherwise agreed, City will have title to, and risk of loss of, all completed and partially completed portions of the Goods upon delivery, as well as materials delivered to and stored on City property which are intended to become a part of the Goods. However, Supplier will be liable for any loss or damage to the Goods and/or the materials caused by Supplier or its subcontractors, their agents or employees, and Supplier will replace or repair said Goods or materials at its own cost to the complete satisfaction of City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the City has paid Supplier for all or a portion of the Goods which remains in the possession of Supplier, then City shall have title to, and the right to take possession of, such Goods at any time following payment therefor.
Risk of loss for any Goods which remains in the possession of Supplier shall remain with Supplier until such Goods has been delivered or City has taken possession thereof.

In such event City may obtain the Goods by whatever method it may deem expedient, including the hiring of another contractor or other contractors and, for that purpose, may take possession of all materials, machinery, equipment, tools and appliances and exercise all rights, options and privileges of Supplier. In such case Supplier will not be entitled to receive any further payments until the Goods is delivered.

Appendix A: System Description
While the value and importance of Cell Cite Simulator (CSS) operations are clear and well-understood, CSS systems, their equipment and operations, and their ability to cover all the complex and rapidly changing Radio Access Technologies (RATs) are not as simple. In today's telecommunication industry, the number of available channels, bands, and frequencies used by cellular service providers surpasses the capabilities of most CSS equipment currently used by Law Enforcement (LE).
A CSS functions by simulating a cell tower. In response to the signals transmitted by the CSS, cellular devices within its range identify the simulator as the most attractive cell tower in the area and thus register with it. This allows the CSS to identify the cellular device in exactly the same way that a networked cell tower does.
The Nyxcell V1650 has 12 radios giving 100% coverage of all channels that a target handset may be using. This includes 5G NSA, 5G SA and all other cellular frequencies currently in use by USA cellular providers.
Nyxcell's fast network scans take an average of 3 minutes. Competitors' systems can take 20 to 45 minutes, which is unacceptable in emergencies and exigent circumstances. In situations where time is of the essence, Nyxcell can cover, scan, and transmit on all providers and all channels in 1/8 of the time another system could take.
With 12 radios, Nyxcell minimizes the possibility that the target will jump to another channel (“chasing the rabbit” effect), since the system covers all channels operated by all US network providers. When a competitor's CSS cannot cover all channels in the network environment, the target handset will migrate to the unattended channel.
The Nyxcell V1650 includes a Wi-Fi identification solution if the department requires Wi-Fi capability

Nyxcell user interface has data correlation for target development, which can be used for verification of identifiers or to correlate subscriber ID and equipment ID.
Nyxcell uses a single omnidirectional antenna to transmit and receive signals for a discreet vehicle appearance. Competitors' systems antennas give the vehicle away.
Nyxcell can obtain latitude and longitude coordinates from certain 2G/3G handset models that have this capability, reducing time and exposure in the area.

The Nyxcell D150 Secondary Portable Device is a handheld finishing tool used to covertly locate the handset once the Primary system has placed the handset in a “silent call”. The D150 is simple to use, operates from an internal Li-Ion battery and is controlled by an Android smartphone (included) application via Bluetooth.
Ease of Use
The graphical user interface (GUI) is outlined in a logical manner which allows the user to quickly identify the steps needed to launch a mission with a minimum of mouse clicks. There are 2 Modes of operating the Nyxcell CSS. The automatic mode populates the target fields after the initial scan and a manual mode for the advanced operator.
Nyxcell's fast network scans an average of 3 minutes. Competitors' systems can take 20 to 45 minutes, which is unacceptable in emergencies and exigent circumstances.
Nyxcell user interface has data correlation for target development, which can be used for verification of identifiers or to correlate subscriber ID and equipment ID.
Nyxcell user interface includes integrated maps for location and route visualization. We are willing to demonstrate the system capability with an on-site demonstration.
Security
In order to operate the Nyxcell CSS you must use a laptop (included) with the appropriate credentials. The laptop is setup by the user with a username and password. The software is Windows 10 compliant which allows the user to install any anti-virus or anti-malware they deem necessary. All data collected by the system is saved to the laptop by the user. The system operates independently and no data is stored offsite nor is a server involved. The operator has the ability to save the data to a removeable storage device but this is not automatic.

Training
Once a department receives their system and are ready
for the initial training they notify the vendor, and a training date is locked in that works for both the customer and trainer. The training is conducted on site at the customer’s location for a period of 40 hours for 6 students. The training days are not limited to 8 hours because we try to integrate real word scenarios into the training.
The training starts with an overview of cellular technology for those students who need a basic understanding. After the overview, training focuses on the system interface and how to put it into operation from start to finish. If the system has not been installed into a vehicle the trainer advises the students on how to install the system.

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: November 16, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Darren Goodman, Chief of Police
Department: Police
Subject: Authorize a Budget Amendment to the Adopted
2022/2023 Budget and Enter into a Professional
Service Agreement for a Police Dispatch Consultant
(All Wards)
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-240 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorizing:
1. The Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the adopted 2022/2023 budget by increasing both revenue and expenditure by $158,670, and issue a purchase order to Kim Turner, LLC in an amount not to exceed $158,670.
2. The City Manager to enter into a professional service agreement with Kim Turner, LLC, for police dispatch consulting and training manual preparation.
Background
The San Bernardino Police Department, and most other police departments, have had significant issues in recruiting, hiring, training, and retaining competent police dispatchers. The police dispatcher is the first person people speak to in an emergency when they dial 911. The dispatcher is responsible for gathering the necessary information from the caller and dispatching police officers. The dispatcher is responsible for all radio communications with officers and are also responsible for accessing restricted law enforcement databases to obtain information necessary for efficient police work. The job is high-stress, with no room for error, as the stakes are often literally life and death.
The dispatch center has not been fully staffed with fully trained dispatchers since before the bankruptcy. This places an increased burden on existing dispatchers as they are forced to work longer shifts, and often on their days off. This has led to burnout, Packet Pg. 656
has had a negative impact on dispatchers’ performance, and has caused several dispatchers to seek employment elsewhere.
The hiring process for a dispatcher is similar to that of a police officer with the exception of the physical agility test. The hiring process takes three to five months to complete as it includes a background investigation, medical examination, psychological examination, polygraph, and other components, totaling several thousand dollars to hire each employee. Once hired, the dispatch training program takes about one year to complete. Losing a trained dispatcher to another organization is costly and inefficient.
Currently, the dispatch center is being operated by 13 of the 25 allotted fully trained, full-time dispatchers. This has led to mandatory overtime for all dispatchers and the need for dispatch supervisors to work as dispatch operators. In August, the dispatch center lost three dispatchers. Two sought employment elsewhere while taking a pay cut and one self-demoted to part time to avoid mandatory overtime. Several others are looking for other employment opportunities.
Discussion
There are a number of issues that are leading to the problems of recruiting, training, and retaining competent police dispatchers. First of all, this is an industry-wide problem across Southern California. Most, if not all police departments are suffering from staffing shortages. Second, the compensation for San Bernardino Police Department dispatchers is not commensurate with their workload. San Bernardino receives an extraordinarily high number of calls for service for its size. Each of these calls for service runs through the dispatch center. Third, the training program for dispatchers has not been revised in a number of years. Our chronic short staffing has eliminated the possibility of staff working on tasks outside the dispatch function. Internally, the San Bernardino Police Department does not have the resources to conduct a top to bottom review of the training program as the command staff are not dispatchers with the necessary experience, and the dispatchers and dispatch supervisors are already taxed to the limit with their current workload. Additionally, an outside review of dispatch operations can provide a fresh perspective and avoid insularity.
We have reached out to our partners at San Manuel in search of collaboration with them to overcome these problems. They have identified similar internal shortcomings, and more importantly, recognized the distinct communal advantage of rectifying them.
San Manuel agrees that Kim Turner, LLC is best suited to help the Department overcome these issues and work toward a sustainable dispatch center. San Manuel has decided to provide $158,670 to fund the professional services of Kim Turner, LLC. through the current San Manuel Agreement. In exchange, Department Staff will relay training materials and best practices to the San Manuel Communication Center so they can improve their operations.
The San Bernardino Police Department is proposing to hire Kim Turner of Kim Turner, LLC to conduct a review of the dispatch center, its operations, training, and schedules.
Packet Pg. 657
This review will include recommendations for improvements and an implementation process for said recommendations. Furthermore, Kim Turner, LLC will prepare a new dispatch training manual for the San Bernardino Police Department.
Kim Turner, LLC is being recommended as a sole source option for this project due to:
• San Manuel’s agreement to fully fund the cost for services by Kim Turner, LLC. • Kim Turner, LLC utilizes a proprietary system of methodology and evaluation.
As such, no other company nor entity is authorized to evaluate or use the evaluation system.
• Current staffing level, of less than 50%, is creating a public safety emergency resulting in diminished customer service, mandatory overtime, and employee burnout.
• Nationally, there are public safety consulting companies however their expertise generally lies with sworn operations, technology, or procurement processes.
Kim Turner, LLC subject-matter-expertise is specific to 9-1-1 operations.
Therefore, solicitation from other sources is predicted to be inadequate to meet the immediate and long-term needs of the department specific to 9-1-1 operations.
• Kim Turner’s extensive knowledge of dispatching issues, not just nationally and on a state level, but also specific to the region which is quite unique. • The respect that she has earned with the dispatchers of the San Bernardino Police Department, many of whom have had training classes with her, thus giving her an immediate degree of credibility within the organization. This will increase the efficacy of her intervention.
• The reputation of her company.
• The Cities of Upland, Glendale, Inglewood, and Montebello have all utilized Kim Turner, LLC recognizing her as a sole source.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: November 16, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Darren Goodman, Chief of Police
Department: Police
Subject: Accept the 2022 COPS Hiring Program Grant
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2022-241 authorizing:
1. The City Manager to Accept the 2022 Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Services Grant.
2. The Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the FY 2022/23 Adopted Budget with an appropriation of $1,250,000 in both revenues and expenditures in grant funds and $348,870.90 in General Fund expenditures in grant match requirements.
3. The police department to increase sworn staffing from 287 to 297.
Background
The Department of Justice COPS grant is intended to reduce crime and promote public safety through community policing by providing support to law enforcement agencies nationwide. The grant supports hiring law enforcement officers to increase an agency's community policing and crime prevention capabilities.
On April 14, 2022, the Department of Justice released the FY 2022 COPS Hiring Program (CHP) solicitation. The award provides funding for up to 75 percent of the approved entry-level salary and fringe benefits of each newly hired or rehired full-time sworn career law enforcement officer over three years of the award period. There is a minimum 25 percent local cash match requirement unless otherwise waived, and a maximum federal share of $125,000 per officer position. Funding from this program may be used to:
Packet Pg. 684
Hire New Officers
Rehire Officers (laid off as a result of budget reductions) Rehire Officers (at the time of application, currently scheduled to be laid off as a result of budget reductions)
In June of 2022, the Police Department submitted a CHP application requesting funding to hire ten new police officers. The grant would partially fund those ten positions for three years, with the City being obligated to maintain those ten positions for an additional two years beyond the three-year CHP funded period. The CHP grant application process was highly competitive; San Bernardino was one of 711 law enforcement agencies that applied for funding. On October 13, 2022, the City received notification that the 2022 grant application was approved, awarding a total of $1,250,000 toward the hiring of ten police officers. San Bernardino was one of only 180 (25% of all applicants) jurisdictions that received CHP grant awards nationwide.
Discussion
In February of 2019, the Mayor and City Council adopted resolution 2019-29, restructuring the department to support a community-oriented policing model and philosophy by forming five policing districts and assigning personnel to each of those districts. The Police Department intends to use the grant funds awarded through the 2022 CHP grant to continue supporting community-oriented policing efforts and reduce gun related violent crime within the City.
Recently, Police Chief Goodman ushered in new strategies to improve the delivery of public safety services. Staff identified several positions within the Department where personnel shortages negatively impacting public safety. During the Quarter One Budget Review, staff requested the addition of the identified positions to improve public safety, including six police officers which would be assigned to the Community Policing Districts.
Over the last three years, the Department has successfully funded 28 police officers’ positions and 14 professional staff through grants and agreements with external funding sources. As an alternative to the six police officer positions requested during the Quarter One Budget Review, the Department sought grant funding and was awarded the 2022 COPS Grant. While historically, the City has received a complete waiver of matching funds, the grant was awarded without the waiver this year.
Although the Department’s original request was six police officers at the cost of approximately $910,592 a year, COPS Grant funding will now allow the City to hire ten police officers at an average expense of $1,267,653 a year over the five-year grant term. Adding ten officers to the Department will enable the Department to grow the number of patrol officers assigned to each policing district and result in more officers available to respond to calls for service
CHP grant funds cannot be used to supplant local funds by paying for officer Packet Pg. 685
positions currently funded through the adopted budget. To use the funds, the Department will be required to increase the number of authorized police officers from 287 to 297. The award of the CHP grant creates an opportunity to increase officer staffing levels within the Police Department while also covering most of the cost for the first year of employment. The full grant performance period is 10/1/2022 through 9/30/2027 and during the second and third years of the performance period, the City would provide a progressively greater share of the cost for each officer. This would effectively delay the full cost of the additional officers. Beginning 10/1/2026 and lasting through 9/30/2027, the City would be responsible to cover the entire cost of each position. Based on current hiring plans, staff anticipates hiring for positions funded through this grant program as early as December 15, 2022, and completing the hiring of all ten positions by 3/9/2023. Staff is requesting authorization to expend CHP grant funds as early as December 15, 2022.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request to authorize the receipt, obligation, and expenditure of the 2022 Department of Justice, Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Hiring Program Grant aligns with Goal No. 1. Improved Operational & Financial Capacity: Implement, maintain, and update a fiscal accountability plan.

Several federal civil rights laws, such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, require recipients of federal financial assistance to give assurances that they will comply with those laws. Taken together, these civil rights laws prohibit recipients of federal financial assistance from DOJ from discriminating in services and employment because of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, sex, and, for grants authorized under the Violence Against Women Act, sexual orientation and gender identity. Recipients are also prohibited from discriminating in services because of age. For a complete review of these civil rights laws and nondiscrimination requirements, in connection with DOJ awards, see https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalOverview/CivilRightsRequirements.htm.
Under the delegation of authority, the OCR investigates allegations of discrimination against recipients from individuals, entities, or groups.
In addition, the OCR conducts limited compliance reviews and audits based on regulatory criteria. These reviews and audits permit the OCR to evaluate whether recipients of financial assistance from the Department are providing services in a nondiscriminatory manner to their service population or have employment practices that meet equal-opportunity standards.
If you are a recipient of grant awards under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act or the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act and your agency is part of a criminal justice system, there are two additional obligations that may apply in connection with the awards: (1) complying with the regulation relating to Equal Employment Opportunity Programs (EEOPs); and (2) submitting findings of discrimination to OCR. For additional information regarding the EEOP requirement, see 28 CFR Part 42, subpart E, and for additional information regarding requirements when there is an adverse finding, see 28 C.F.R. §§ 42.204(c), .205(c)(5).
The OCR is available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that are associated with DOJ grant funding. If you would like the OCR to assist you in fulfilling your organization's civil rights or nondiscrimination responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the OCR at [email protected].
This award is offered subject to the conditions or limitations set forth in the Award Information, Project Information, Financial Information, and Award Conditions.

(3) When the recipient agrees to the termination and termination conditions. (4) When the recipient provides the COPS Office written notification requesting termination including the reasons, effective date, and the portion of the award to be terminated.

5. Definitions
For purposes of this award term and condition:
a. Administrative proceeding means a non-judicial process that is adjudicatory in nature in order to make a determination of fault or liability (e.g., Securities and Exchange Commission Administrative proceedings, Civilian Board of Contract Appeals proceedings, and Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals proceedings). This includes proceedings at the Federal and State level but only in connection with performance of a Federal contract or grant. It does not include audits, site visits, corrective plans, or inspection of deliverables. b. Conviction, for purposes of this award term and condition, means a judgment or conviction of a criminal offense by any court of competent jurisdiction, whether entered upon a verdict or a plea, and includes a conviction entered upon a plea of nolo contendere. c. Total value of currently active grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts includes— (1) Only the Federal share of the funding under any Federal award with a recipient cost share or match; and (2) The value of all expected funding increments under a Federal award and options, even if not yet exercised.
Debarment and Suspension: The recipient agrees not to award federal funds under this program to any party which is debarred or suspended from participation in federal assistance programs. 2 C.F.R. Part 180 (Government-wide Nonprocurement Debarment and Suspension) and 2 C.F.R. Part 2867 (DOJ Nonprocurement Debarment and Suspension).
Employment Eligibility: The recipient agrees to complete and keep on file, as appropriate, the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9). This form is to be used by recipients of federal funds to verify that persons are eligible to work in the United States. Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), Public Law 99-603.

The COPS Office’s statute defines a “career law enforcement officer” as “a person hired on a permanent basis who is authorized by law or by a State or local public agency to engage in or supervise the prevention, detection, or investigation of violations of criminal laws.” 34 U.S.C. §10389(1). A recipient agency may use officer hiring funds to pay the salary and benefits of recruits while in academy training to become “career law enforcement officers” if it is the standard practice of the agency to do so with locally-funded recruits. The State of Alaska, and any Indian tribe or tribal organization in that State, may also use officer hiring funds for a “village public safety officer” defined as “an individual employed as a village public safety officer under the program established by the State pursuant to Alaska Statute 18.65.670.” Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010, Pub. L. 111-211, title II, § 247 (a)(2).
Extensions: Your agency may request an extension of the 60-month award performance period to receive additional time to implement your award program. Such extensions do not provide additional funding. Any request for an extension will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Only those recipients that can provide a reasonable justification for delays will be granted no-cost extensions. Reasonable justifications may include difficulties in filling COPS Office-funded positions, officer turnover, or other circumstances that interrupt the 36-month funding period. An extension allows your agency to compensate for such delays by providing additional time to complete the full 36 months of funding for each position awarded. Extension requests must be received prior to the end date of the award.
Supplementing, not Supplanting: State, local, and tribal government recipients must use award funds to supplement, and not supplant, state, local, or Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) funds that are already committed or otherwise would have been committed for award purposes (hiring, training, purchases, and/or activities) during the award period. In other words, state, local, and tribal government recipients may not use COPS Office funds to supplant (replace) state, local, or BIA funds that would have been dedicated to the COPS Office-funded item(s) in the absence of the COPS Office award. 34 U.S.C. § 10384(a).
Evaluations: The COPS Office may conduct monitoring or sponsor national evaluations of its award programs. The recipient agrees to cooperate with the monitors and evaluators. 34 U.S.C. § 10385(b).
Local Match: COPS Hiring Program award recipients are required to contribute a local match of at least 25 percent towards the total cost of the approved award project, unless waived in writing by the COPS Office. The local match must be a cash match from funds not previously budgeted for law enforcement purposes and must be paid during the award period. The local match contribution must be made on an increasing basis during each year of the three-year award period, with the federal share decreasing accordingly. 34 U.S.C. § 10381(g).
Retention: At the time of award application, your agency committed to retaining all sworn officer positions awarded under the CHP award with state 22 23

Your agency cannot satisfy the retention requirement by using CHP-funded positions to fill locally-funded vacancies resulting from attrition. 34 U.S.C. § 10382 (c)(8).
Allowable Costs Condition: The funding under this project is for the payment of three years (36 months) of approved full-time entry-level salaries and fringe benefits during the five-year (60 months) period of performance. The maximum federal share is $125,000 per officer position (unless a local match waiver is approved) for career law enforcement officer positions hired and/or rehired on or after the official award start date. Any salary and fringe benefit costs higher than entry-level that your agency pays a CHP-funded officer must be paid with local funds. Your agency is required to use CHP award funds for the specific hiring categories awarded. Funding under this program may be used for the following categories:
• Hiring new officers, which includes filling existing officer vacancies that are no longer funded in your agency’s budget; • Rehiring officers laid off by any jurisdiction as a result of state, local, or Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) budget reductions; and/or • Rehiring officers who were, at the time of award application, scheduled to be laid off (by your jurisdiction) on a specific future date as a result of state, local, or BIA budget reductions.
If your agency’s local fiscal conditions have changed and your agency needs to change one or more of the funded hiring categories, your agency should request an award modification and receive prior approval before spending CHP funding under the new category. The approved budget in the award package specifies the amount of CHP funds awarded to your agency. Please note that the salary and fringe benefit costs requested in your CHP application may have been adjusted or removed. Your agency may only be reimbursed for the approved cost categories up to the amounts specified in the approved budget. Only actual allowable costs incurred during the award period will be eligible for reimbursement and drawdown. If your agency experiences any cost savings over the course of the award (for example, your award application overestimated the total entry-level officer salary and fringe benefits package), your agency may not use that excess funding to continue salary payments to the officers beyond 36 months. Any funds remaining after your agency has drawn down for the costs of approved salaries and fringe benefits incurred for each awarded position during the 36-month funding period will be deobligated during the closeout process and should not be spent by your agency.
Memorandum of Understanding Requirement (for School Resource Officers only) Recipients using award funding to hire and/or deploy School Resource Officers into schools understand and agree to the following:
• Your agency must submit a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the law enforcement agency and the school partner(s) to the COPS Office before obligating or drawing down funds under this award. The MOU must be submitted to the COPS Office within 90 days of the date shown on the award letter.
• Your agency’s MOU must contain the following information; o The purpose of the MOU
o Clearly defined roles and responsibilities of the school district and the law enforcement agency, focusing officers’ roles on safety o Information sharing
o Supervision responsibility and chain of command for the SRO o Signatures
Note: Please refer to the MOU Fact Sheet for a detailed explanation of the requirements under each of the bullets Your agency’s implementation of the CHP award without submission and acceptance of the required MOU may result in expenditures not being reimbursed by the COPS Office and/or award de-obligation.

The items funded under the CHP award cannot be utilized by other agencies unless the items benefit the population that your agency serves. Your agency may use items funded under the CHP award to assist other law enforcement agencies under a resource sharing, mutual aid, or other agreement to address multi-jurisdictional issues as described in the agreement.
Advancing Department of Justice Priority Problem Focus Areas: This condition applies to agencies that selected one of the following priority crime problem/focus areas to address in their 2021 COPS Hiring Program (CHP) application:
• Building Legitimacy and Trust
• Violent Crime/Gun Violence
• Combatting Hate and Domestic Extremism
• Police-based Response to Persons in Crisis
Your agency understands and agrees to the following: Your agency will implement the one specific community policing plan identified in your CHP award application;
Your agency will address its specific priority crime problem throughout the entire CHP award period; Your agency will implement any organizational changes identified in its CHP award application; Your agency will cooperate with any award monitoring by the COPS Office to ensure that it is initiating or enhancing its community policing efforts to address its priority crime problem, which may include your agency having to respond to additional or modified reporting requirements.
Modifications: Occasionally, a change in an agency’s fiscal or law enforcement situation necessitates a change in its COPS Office CHP award.
Award modifications under CHP are evaluated on a case-by-case basis in accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.308. For federal awards in excess of $250,000, any modification request involving the reallocation of funding between budget categories that exceed or are expected to exceed 10 percent (10%) of the total approved budget requires prior written approval by the COPS Office. Regardless of the federal award amount or budget modification percentage, any reallocation of funding is limited to approved budget categories. In addition, any budget modification that changes the scope of the project requires prior written approval by the COPS Office. In addition, please be aware that the COPS Office will not approve any modification request that results in an increase of federal funds.
In addition, modification requests should be submitted to the COPS Office when an agency determines that it will need to shift officer positions awarded in one hiring category into a different hiring category and/or reduce the total number of positions awarded. For example, if an agency was awarded CHP funding for two new, additional sworn officer positions, but due to fiscal distress/constraints the agency needs to change the hiring category from the new hire category to the rehire category for officers laid off or scheduled for layoff on a specific future date post-application, the agency would have to request a modification. The COPS Office will only consider a modification request after an agency makes final, approved budget and/or personnel decisions. An agency may implement the modified award following written approval from the COPS Office. Please be aware that the COPS Office will not approve any modification request that results in an increase of federal funds.
During the CHP award period, it may become necessary for an agency to modify its CHP award due to changes in an agency’s fiscal or law enforcement situation. Modification requests should be submitted to the COPS Office when an agency determines that it will need to shift officer positions awarded in one hiring category into a different hiring category, reduce the total number of positions awarded, shift funds among benefit categories, and/or reduce the entry-level salary and fringe benefit amounts. For example, an agency may have been awarded CHP funding for 10 new, additional full-time sworn officer positions, but due to severe fiscal distress/constraints, the agency determines it is unable to sustain all 10 positions and must reduce its request to five full-time positions; or an agency may have been awarded CHP funding for two new, additional sworn officer positions, but due to fiscal distress/constraints the agency needs to change the hiring category from the new hire category to the rehire 31 32

An agency may implement the modified award following written approval from the COPS Office. Please be aware that the COPS Office will not approve any modification request that results in an increase of federal funds.
School Resource Officer (SRO) Training Requirement: COPS Office-funded SRO(s) are required to complete an SRO 40-hour basic training course from a list of COPS Office approved provider(s). Training must be completed no later than nine months after the date shown on the award congratulatory letter or six months from the SRO hire date; whichever comes first. If a COPS Office-funded SRO leaves the recipient agency after completing the training, the recipient agrees to pay for the new SRO, who is assigned to backfill this position, to attend a 40 hour basic training course. The new SRO must complete the training no later than nine months after being placed in the school. If the officer has completed 40-hour basic training within the last 12 months prior to the award date, the condition has been fulfilled. Any longer than 12 months will require the officers to retake the course. The agency must coordinate with the training provider if they want funds to cover registration and travel costs.
Community Policing: Community policing activities to be initiated or enhanced by your agency and the officers funded by this award program were identified and described in your CHP award application. Your agency developed a community policing plan for the CHP award with specific reference to a crime or disorder problem and the following elements of community policing: (a) problem solving—your agency’s plan to assess and respond to the problem identified; (b) community partnerships and support, including related governmental and community initiatives that complement your agency’s proposed use of CHP funding; and (c) organizational transformation—how your agency will use the funds to reorient its mission to community policing or enhance its involvement in and commitment to community policing. Throughout the CHP award period, your agency is required to implement the community policing plan it set forth in the CHP award application.
The COPS Office defines community policing as a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies that support the systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as crime, social disorder, and fear of crime. CHP awards through the specific officers funded (or an equal number of redeployed veteran officers) must be used to initiate or enhance community policing activities. All newly hired additional or rehired officers (or an equal number of redeployed veteran officers) funded under CHP must implement your agency’s approved community policing plan, which you described in your award application.
Background Investigations: Recipients agree to ensure that each officer(s) hired with CHP funding will be subject to a background investigation, notify the COPS Office upon completion of the background investigation for each officer hired under the CHP award, and cooperate with the COPS Office and provide updates on the status of background investigations upon request. 2 C.F.R. § 200.208 If the COPS Office determines that CHP funds are being used to pay the salary and fringe benefits of an officer who has not undergone a background investigation, the COPS Office may temporarily suspend grant funds in accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.339 until the agency can demonstrate the background investigation has been completed.
