Request for Council Action
Date: December 7, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager
Department: City Manager's Office
Subject: Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of San Bernardino and San Bernardino City Unified
School District for the Youth Council Program (All
Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) and the City of San Bernardino (City) for the Youth Council Program; and
2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the MOU between the City and San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) for the Youth Council Program with additional authorization, in consultation with the City Attorney’s office, to make amendments and execute said MOU consistent with Mayor and City Council direction and to ensure appropriate program oversight.
Background
At the June 1, 2022, Mayor and City Council Meeting, staff presented a conceptual framework for a City of San Bernardino Youth Civic Engagement Council (“Youth Council Program”). Council approved a motion for staff to partner with SBCUSD to develop a program that allows high school juniors and seniors in San Bernardino the opportunity to shadow City staff and elected officials.
After the June 1, 2022, Mayor and City Council Meeting, staff began meeting with SBCUSD staff to discuss partnering to develop a Youth Council Program. Through conversations with SBCUSD, staff learned that the SBCUSD Board does not have an existing Youth Council Program, so staff are working with SBCUSD to develop a new program.
Packet Pg. 3897
Discussion
Staff have been working to develop a program, within Council’s direction, that is manageable for City staff to oversee and consistent with SBCUSD supervision standards and best practices. Since high school students are in school for most of the day and participate in a variety of sports and extracurricular activities, SBCUSD recommended a program with an organized structure and centralized meeting place to ensure the students are supervised appropriately while participating.
City staff and SBCUSD staff are still fine-tuning the programmatic details; however, at this time, staff can provide a high-level overview of the program’s activities. With SBCUSD's input and expertise in working with K-12 students, the Youth Council Program will have the following format:
• Monthly Meetings: To ensure appropriate supervision, the program will consist of monthly meetings on City property where City staff and elected officials come as guest speakers to discuss their role within local government with the Youth Council. • Local Field Trips: The Youth Council will participate in a variety of local field trips, which will occur every three months (total of three during the program), such as visiting City departments (the police department, water department, etc. are possible locations to visit), regional agencies, community projects, commission meetings, etc. to introduce them to various aspects of public service work and experience first-hand what happens at these facilities and events on a daily basis.
• Recognition Ceremony: At the end of the program term, in May of each year, the City will host a Youth Council recognition ceremony commemorating the youth and their program achievements. The youth will receive plaques and/or certificates as formal recognition of their participation in the program.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) attached is the first step in formalizing a partnership with SBCUSD for the Youth Council Program as it promotes continued collaboration and partnership between the City and SBCUSD to achieve shared goals and outcomes that benefit the City’s youth. The MOU does not establish a specific program structure or program content; rather, the MOU establishes a framework and identifies roles and responsibilities for program development and implementation.
Below are some of the main responsibilities of each party to the MOU, as well as mutual responsibilities.
City will be responsible for:
• Determining the number of Youth Council Program participants the City can accommodate and accept during each academic year.
• Approving which prospective students will participate in the Youth Council Program.
• Providing appropriate supervision to Youth Council Program participants while Packet Pg. 3898
they are on site and participating in Youth Council Program activities.
Additionally, ensuring that supervisors of the Youth Council Program participants have background checks on file.
SBCUSD will be responsible for:
• Marketing and promoting the Youth Council Program to the appropriate teachers, parents/guardians, and students and soliciting applications from them. • Appointing a Youth Council Coordinator to serve as a liaison between the City and SBCUSD.
• Informing participants and their parents/guardians of the City’s policies and procedures that they are expected to comply with and providing them a copy of those policies and procedures.
Mutual responsibilities:
• Collaborating and developing strategies for the mutual promotion of the Youth Council Program.
• Working together to accomplish the goals of the program. • Participating in a kick-off meeting to coordinate the initial implementation of the program.
Next Steps
If the MOU is approved, staff will continue to fine-tune the programmatic details and begin marketing the program in early 2023 (February through April 2023) and select program participants by May 2023 for the following school year.
The program is on track to begin in August 2023 for the 2023/24 school year. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Approval of the Memorandum of Understanding with SBCUSD for the implementation of a Youth Council Program in the City aligns with Key Target No. 2a. Develop and implement a community engagement plan. The program will engage youth within the City by providing them an opportunity to participate in, and learn more about, their local government.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with approving and authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to execute the Memorandum of Understanding.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
Packet Pg. 3899
1. Approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) and the City of San Bernardino (City) for the Youth Council Program; and

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager
Department: City Manager's Office
Subject: Administrative Policies - Clean Fleet, Media Relations, and Communication and Incident Notification to
Elected Officials (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, review and approve the following proposed administrative policies and adopt the resolutions as presented:
1. Clean Fleet Policy (Resolution No. 2022-252)
2. Media Relations Policy (Resolution No. 2022-253)
3. Communication and Incident Notification to Elected Officials Policy (Resolution No. 2022-254)
Background
The City of San Bernardino is a charter city operating under a council-manager form of government. The City Charter is the document adopted by voters that defines the organization, powers, functions, and essential procedures of the city government while the Municipal Code contains the local laws and regulations adopted by the Mayor and City Council that establish zoning and development standards, traffic regulations, administrative standards and the like.
In addition to the City Charter and Municipal Code, it is important for the City to implement policies and procedures that establish the controls needed to ensure that City employees and elected and appointed officials can operate under a clear set of guidelines that align with the laws and regulations that govern the City.
On February 3, 2021, the Mayor and Council provided conceptual support for the development of a comprehensive administrative policy manual to ensure that City employees and elected and appointed officials are operating under a clear set of guidelines that govern the City. Discussed below are the Clean Fleet, Media Relations, and Communication and Incident Notification to Elected Officials policies for consideration.
Packet Pg. 3908
Discussion
Clean Fleet Policy
As California continues to move aggressively towards carbon neutrality, the City of San Bernardino is committed to doing its part to combat the negative environmental and health effects caused by greenhouse gas emissions. To initiate administrative changes, staff developed the Clean Fleet policy that will implement guidelines governing the purchase of City vehicles that will maximize energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and control long-term costs. The objectives of this policy are to prioritize alternative fuel vehicles over conventional powered vehicles, give consideration to the long-term environmental and economic benefits of alternative fuel vehicles, and help reduce the community’s exposure to harmful emissions.
The Clean Fleet policy requires the City to make every effort to obtain the cleanest vehicles possible and provides guidelines for the procurement of fleet vehicles. It also establishes a vehicle procurement hierarchy that prioritizes battery electric vehicles over conventional gas and diesel fueled vehicles.
The policy establishes the following:
• Zero emission vehicles will be prioritized for procurement while limiting the purchasing or leasing of conventionally powered vehicles. • When zero emissions vehicles are not an option, the City will make every effort to obtain vehicles that are the most fuel-efficient and emit the lowest pollutants possible.
• Exceptions to this policy will require a justification from the Department Director and approval from the City Manager.
• Departments will be required to develop a plan to replace vehicles with those that are zero to low emissions and are the most energy/fuel efficient.
The adoption of this policy will help initiate administrative changes as the City moves towards electrifying its fleet.
Media Relations Policy
The City of San Bernardino engages in a proactive communication system to inform its residents, business owners, visitors, and other stakeholders. This approach recognizes that one of the most effective ways to communicate City policies and activities is by working in partnership with the media. To ensure the City continues to work collaboratively with the media to provide the community with consistent, accurate, and timely information, staff developed the Media Relations policy that provides guidelines and procedures for managing media-related communications.
The policy establishes:
• The City’s Public Information Officer (PIO) is responsible for facilitating communication with the media that includes responding to inquiries, developing press releases and other media material, and other City-initiated communication Packet Pg. 3909
including publicity and announcements of events, activities, and programs/projects.
• The City’s Media inquiries will be given a high priority and be responded to as quickly as possible.
• City staff shall not respond to media inquiries but will notify the PIO immediately and follow the procedures set forth in the policy.
• Media inquiries regarding sensitive or controversial issues will be referred to the City Manager, City Attorney, and the PIO immediately.
• PIO will consult with the City Attorney when a media request appears to involve a subject matter that may be privileged or private.
• The City’s spokespersons are identified as the Mayor, City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Public Information Officer.
• City staff and members of boards, commissions, and committees who identify themselves as such when participating in a media interview or providing any written or verbal comment must clearly state that their views are their own and not the City’s.
Adoption of this policy will establish guidelines and procedures to effectively coordinate and manage the communication activities related to official City business. This will ensure accuracy, consistency, and timeliness in relaying information to residents and the public at large while strengthening partnerships with the media.
Communication and Incident Notification to Elected Officials Policy Efficient and effective information flows are critical in ensuring decision-makers have what is needed to make timely, high-quality decisions. It is vital that elected officials be kept informed of items of interest, newsworthy events, and incidents occurring in the City of San Bernardino.
The policy establishes that elected officials will be:
• Informed timely of issues, incidents, and matters impacting the City as well as issues that are emerging.
• Kept updated on special projects and presented with equitable opportunities to provide input.
• Provided responses to inquiries in accordance with the City’s Charter and Municipal Code.
The policy further establishes procedures for the City Manager or designee(s) to ensure elected officials are:
• Informed of routine matters and non-critical incidents including major policies issues, matters that may attract media or public attention, and events that may be of interest to the City.
• Notified of critical incidents, including those involving public safety, with current and accurate information in an expeditious manner.
The adoption of this policy will ensure the flow of information from the City’s administration to elected officials is strengthened, enabling leadership to continue to Packet Pg. 3910
proactively address matters and resolve issues, make informed decisions, and effectively respond to the community.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Approval of administrative policies aligns with Goal 1: Improved Operational and Financial Capacity, Key Strategic Target 1.1: Establish clear policy direction and predictable organizational structures. Adoption and implementation of policies promotes consistency, efficiency, accountability, and transparency.
Fiscal Impact
There is no impact related to the Media Relations and Communication and Incident Notification to Elected Officials policies.
There is potential future fiscal impact associated with the Clean Fleet policy as it is anticipated that initial capital costs for zero- to low-emission vehicles may be higher than similar fossil-fueled models; however, total ownership costs over the life of the vehicles are likely to be more cost effective as maintenance and fuel costs are significantly less than conventional vehicles. Departments will consult with the Finance department to develop budgetary plans to fund replacement vehicles and explore potential grant funding opportunities and available rebates to help offset upfront costs.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, review and approve the following proposed administrative policies and adopt the resolutions as presented:
1. Clean Fleet Policy (Resolution No. 2022-252)
2. Media Relations Policy (Resolution No. 2022-253)

SUBJECT
Clean Fleet Procurement Policy
APPROVED BY EFFECTIVE DATE
A. PURPOSE
This policy establishes the City’s intent to begin the process of transitioning its fleet from conventionally powered vehicles to zero to low emission vehicles. The purpose of this policy is to implement guidelines governing the purchase of City vehicles to maximize energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and control costs. This policy’s objectives are to:
• Give priority to purchasing or leasing all-electric, hybrid, and other alternative fuel vehicles when commercially available and practicable.
• Ensure that a review of each individual vehicle purchase or lease is made so as the City replaces its aging fleet, the long-term environmental and financial benefits of purchasing alternative fuel vehicles are considered.
• Reduce the community’s exposure to harmful emissions and greenhouse gasses by replacing fuel-dependent vehicles with cleaner alternatives.
Through this policy, the City shall prioritize the purchasing or leasing of zero to low emission vehicles while limiting the procurement of conventionally powered vehicles. The implementation of this policy will assist the City in preparing to gradually transition to a fully electrified fleet while incrementally reducing its dependence on fossil fuels.
B. SCOPE
This policy applies to all City departments responsible for operating, maintaining, and/or procuring City-owned vehicles.
C. POLICY
It shall be the policy of the City of San Bernadino to purchase, lease, or otherwise obtain vehicles that emit the least amount of emissions and are the most energy efficient possible that meet the operational needs of the department for which the vehicles are intended.
1. Zero emission vehicles (ZEV) will be prioritized for procurement when they are appropriate to the application, are technically feasible, ergonomically viable, have fueling infrastructure in place, and meet the organizational need.
2. The City shall make every effort to procure and use ZEVs while considering the vehicle’s life-cycle costs and the ability to support City operations and services.
Packet Pg. 3916
3. When ZEVs are not an option, the City will make every effort to obtain vehicles that are the most fuel-efficient and emit the lowest pollutants possible as measured by available emissions certification standards and those published by the manufacturers.
4. Departments shall develop a plan to replace vehicles with those that are zero to low emissions and are the most energy/fuel-efficient.
a. The plan shall prioritize vehicle replacement according to the life cycle cost, outline the process by which the City will replace vehicles, and set goals for when the existing fleet will be replaced.
b. To ensure vehicle purchases or leases align with this policy, proposed vehicle purchases or leases will be prioritized as follows based on the degree of emissions reductions:
i. Tier I – Zero emission vehicle
ii. Tier II – Alternative fueled internal combustion engine iii. Tier III – Hybrid internal combustion engine
iv. Tier IV – Conventional internal combustion engine – gasoline v. Tier V – Conventional internal combustion engine – diesel c. The plan will be reviewed and revised, if necessary, on an annual basis.
5. Departments will also review utilization reports to identify underutilized vehicles for possible removal from the fleet.
D. EXCEPTIONS
Exceptions from this policy may qualify under any one of the following circumstances:
1. There is no model of vehicle available that will comply with the requirements of this policy, while still meeting the specifications for its intended purpose.
2. A department demonstrates that the use of a vehicle that complies with the requirements of this policy would significantly disrupt operations or reduce service levels.
3. The requirement of this policy would conflict with any of the City’s contractual agreements or where deviation is required by the City’s procurement rules or otherwise required by local, state, or federal law.
Any department requesting an alternative must provide justification from its respective Director and be approved by the City Manager. If approved, the requesting department shall procure the model of vehicle that will meet the required service specifications and has the highest fuel efficiency and lowest available emissions ratings available.
E. CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES
The City will create a plan to develop the electric vehicle charging infrastructure needed to support the fleet. The City intends to evaluate charging requirements, identify potential locations to create a Packet Pg. 3917
strategic network of stations to meet operational needs, and collaborate with partners to develop approaches for deployment.
This policy will be revisited annually and updated as technology evolves.

Request for Council Action
Date: December 7, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Cory Hodges, Senior Management Analyst
Department: City Manager's Office
Subject: Emergency Rental Assistance Program Update and Obligating ERA 1 Reallocated Funds (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Receive and file an update on the City’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program (“ERAP”), including direct service funds administered by Inland SoCal United Way 211+ (“Inland SoCal 211+”).
2. Adopt Resolution 2022-255, accepting (2) two disbursements of Emergency Rental Assistance 1 (ERA 1) Reallocated Funds received from the U.S.
Department of Treasury (“Treasury”) in the amount totaling $352,383.14, and authorizing the City Manager to execute an amendment to the ERA 1 Professional Services Agreement with Inland SoCal 211+ for the full administration of ERA 1 Reallocated funds ($341,811.65), increasing the total not to exceed amount by $24,666.82, for a new not to exceed amount of $713,814.99 for program administrative expenses by Inland SoCal 211+. All other ERA 1 Reallocated Funds will be spent on direct payment assistance as required by law.
3. Authorize the Agency Director for Administrative Services to process a budget amendment for revenues and expenditures in the amount of $352,383.14, and increase the ERA 1 program purchase order accordingly, subject to any future ERA 1 Reallocated Funds received from the Treasury.
4. Adopt the Emergency Rental Assistance Sub-Committee recommendations to prioritize 1) Utility Debt, and 2) Eviction Prevention Services with any remaining or future disbursements of emergency rental assistance reallocated funds.
Packet Pg. 3932
Background
ERA 1: The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (“CAA”) Pub. L. No. 117-2, authorized $25 billion in emergency rental assistance nationwide to assist households that are unable to pay rent or utilities, due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic (“ERA 1”). The City of San Bernardino received an allocation directly from the U.S.
Treasury in the amount of approximately $6.4 million for ERA 1. As of October 18, 2021, the City, and the contracted program administrator, Inland SoCal 211+, fully obligated the ERA 1 funds, and assisted 574 households (an average of approximately $10,000 per household) in the City with that allocation. On November 30, 2021, the City submitted a reallocation of funds request in the amount of $7,300,000 to the U.S.
Department of Treasury in order to receive a potential second allocation of ERA 1 funds. On January 7, 2022, the Treasury released a list of jurisdictions that were eligible to receive reallocated ERA 1 funds, but the City of San Bernardino was not on the list.
ERA 2: The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) Pub. L. No. 117-2, authorized a second Emergency Rental Assistance Program (“ERA 2”). The Treasury allocated $8,273,045.10 in ERA 2 funds to the City. Forty percent (40%) of those funds (i.e., $3,309,218) were disbursed to the City on September 7, 2021. Two additional tranches were finally disbursed to the City in June and September of 2022 (totaling $2,481,913.53 and $2,481,913.57 respectively). ERA 2 funds must be fully expended by September 30, 2025.
In January of 2022, City staff developed a second ERAP Request for Proposals (“RFP”) specific to the funding received under ERA 2 from the U.S Treasury. RFP F22-38 for ERA 2 was opened on January 26, 2022, and was closed on February 22, 2022. The City received a total of four (4) proposals from organizations across the country, CVR Associates from Tampa, FL; Inland SoCal United Way 211+ from Rancho Cucamonga, CA; LiveStories from Seattle, WA; and Yardi from Santa Barbara, CA. City staff evaluated the proposals submitted from prospective bidders and concluded that Inland SoCal 211+ was the most responsive bidder with the ability to fulfill the programmatic requirements of the City’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program. On March 16, 2022, the Mayor and City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with Inland SoCal 211+ for the administration of the City’s allocation of ERA 2 funds from the U.S Treasury. As of late October 2022, the City has disbursed all eligible direct assistance and administrative expense funds to Inland SoCal 211+. The City does not anticipate any additional sizable disbursements from the U.S Treasury, however, similar to ERA 1, the City will pursue reallocated ERA 2 funds (funds voluntarily returned or involuntarily returned to the U.S Treasury by other jurisdictions) to continue to assist residents of the City.
ERA 2 State Block Grant: On September 15, 2021, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-224 to receive an allocation of State Rental Assistance Program funds for ERAP 2, pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 50897.2.1, subdivision (a)(2) (such allocation, a “Block Grant Award”), in the initial amount of Packet Pg. 3933
$6,018,454.42 (“Initial Match”). The Mayor and City Council authorized Inland SoCal 211+ to administer and distribute that State Block Grant. The Initial Match was conveyed to the City by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”). Additionally, at HCD’s suggestion, at the time that the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-224, the City approved the full Initial Match, with the potential of future awards up to two or three times that Initial Match amount, to be administered by Inland SoCal 211+. The Mayor and City Council also authorized the City Manager to execute a contract (“Master Agreement”) with HCD for disbursement of the Block Grant Award. On November 19, 2021, Master Agreement Number 21-ERAP-20084 between the State and City was executed. Soon after, the State disbursed the first tranche of funds for the Block Grant Award in the amount of $2,407,381.77. Only when the City received the Master Agreement from HCD in November, was it clear that the Initial Match would be distributed in tranches, subject to weekly reporting requirements, and with future allocations dependent on the City’s performance metrics. Based on City Council direction under Resolution No. 2021-224, the City and Inland SoCal 211+ executed an amendment for Inland SoCal 211+ to administer the State Block Grant as of December 1, 2021.
After a considerable delay, on January 31, 2022, HCD allocated a second tranche of ERA 2 State Block Grant funding increasing the not-to-exceed amount from approximately $2.4 million to the remainder of the initial Match, or $6,018,454.42 cumulatively. In response to obtaining a second tranche of funding from HCD, the City drafted and executed an amendment to the agreement with Inland SoCal 211+ to administer a second round of ERA 2 State Block Grant funds. The second round of funding from HCD was allocated to Inland SoCal 211+ for direct service payments to participants in the program and administration costs. To date, Inland SoCal 211+ has completely expended all ERA 2 state block grant funds, and the City does not anticipate receiving additional funds under the state’s emergency rental assistance program.
Discussion
Program Summary:
The City has been awarded approximately $21 million dollars in emergency rental assistance funds from four (4) separate emergency rental assistance funding programs, (1) U.S Treasury ERA 1, (2) U.S Treasury ERA 1 Reallocated Funds, (3) U.S Treasury ERA 2, and (4) ERA 2 State Block Grant. Per the program guidance, approximately $18 million dollars of those funds were budgeted for direct assistance to program applicants. The remainder was budgeted for program administration such as call center operation, case management, application portal, and fund disbursement.
As of November 18, 2022, approximately $16.6 of the $18 million in direct assistance payments has been disbursed to program participants (this number does not include payments made to applicants on the waitlist from November 18, 2022, to the present).
The remaining direct assistance funds are currently being disbursed to waitlisted program participants and are expected to be completed in early 2023.
Since the launch of the Emergency Rental Assistance Program in June 2021, Inland Packet Pg. 3934
SoCal 211+ has performed well administering the funds on behalf of the City. As of November 18, 2022, Inland SoCal 211+ has processed 4,442 applications, assisted 1637 households, and disbursed over $16.6 million dollars (average assistance per household is $10,179.30) and counting. Inland SoCal 211+ continues to disburse funds from the final tranche of ERA 2 U.S Treasury funds to the last remaining applicants in the queue. Despite the number of households assisted and dollars disbursed to residents under this program, there is still a dire need in the community for rental and utility debt assistance. The City will continue to apply for any remaining funds available from either the U.S Department of Treasury or the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development.
Considering the anticipated limited availability of ERA funds, the Emergency Rental Assistance Sub-Committee met twice in October of 2022 to discuss how best to prioritize a small amount of ERA1 Reallocated funds the City recieved while adhering to the guidelines of the federal program.
Emergency Rental Assistance Sub-Committee Recommendations:
On March 3, 2021, the Mayor and City Council formally established the Emergency Rental Assistance Program Committee to serve in an advisory role to the Mayor and City Council on all issues pertaining to the program. The Sub-Committee has met semiregularly over the past year and a half to review data, discuss the programs direction and focus, and to make recommendations to the full Mayor and City Council. The committee met most recently on October 13, and October 24, 2022, to discuss program wind-down options, and how best to prioritize the limited remaining ERA funds at the City’s disposal. The Sub-Committee developed two funding priorities for the small amount of reallocated funds the City received since staff do not anticipate additional large disbursements of ERA funds from HCD or the U.S Treasury. If the City does receive an additional sizeable disbursement of emergency rental assistance funds from either the U.S Department of Treasury or HCD, staff will return with additional recommendations for the use of those funds. The Sub-Committee recommends that in expending ERA 1 Reallocated funds the program prioritize 1) Utility Debt Assistance, and 2) Eviction Prevention Services for applicants on the waitlist, or previously funded.
Staff concur with the recommendations of the Sub-Committee. Prioritizing utility debt assistance and eviction prevention services is the best use of the limited ERA 1 Reallocated funds.
Obligate ERA 1 Reallocated Funds:
As part of the U.S Department of Treasury Emergency Rental Assistance Program, the Treasury recently made a limited amount of additional funds available for jurisdictions participating in the program. These funds are termed “Reallocated Funds” which refers to any grant funding that has been voluntarily returned from jurisdictions participating in the program or recaptured by the U.S Department of Treasury. The City made several formal requests for ERA 1 Reallocated funds and was subsequently granted two (2) small disbursements in the amounts of $171,371.52, and $181,011.62, for a total of $352,383.14. Approximately $317,144.83 will be available for direct assistance Packet Pg. 3935
payments. These funds must be obligated via an executed agreement by December 29, 2022, to remain eligible for the City to expend through its emergency rental assistance program.
In order to satisfy the current needs of residents it is recommended that the Mayor and City Council formally accept these funds and obligate them via an amendment to the City’s current Emergency Rental Assistance Program administrators, Inland SoCal 211+.
Program Wind-Down:
To date, the City has made numerous requests for additional funds to the U.S Department of Treasury and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”), but have only received a limited amount of ERA 1 Reallocated funds from the U.S Treasury. Although the City will continue these efforts, staff believe that both the Federal and State programs are in the process of winding down. The City will still be required to submit weekly, monthly, and ad-hoc reports to both the U.S Treasury and HCD until the grant program period of performance ends for ERA 2 on September 30, 2025. The City also anticipates additional administrative tasks (and expenses) well after the period of performance ends, such as closeout reporting, internal audits, and audits by the granting agencies. Staff will continue to facilitate Emergency Rental Assistance Sub-Committee meetings, and report to Council as necessary with any significant updates on the program.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The acceptance and disbursement of Emergency Rental Assistance Reallocated Funds aligns with Key Target No. 3. Improved Quality of Life.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the general fund associated with this action. The ERA 1 budget will increase in revenues and expenditures by $352,383.14 with the acceptance of ERA1 reallocated funds. The City has received approximately $21 million from four separate emergency rental assistance funding programs, ERA 1 and ERA 1 Reallocated Funds, ERA 2, and ERA 2 State Block Grant. These funding sources have allowed the City to recover administrative fees, as such the administration costs associated with all four programs have remained budget neutral.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Receive and file an update on the City’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program (“ERAP”), including direct service funds administered by Inland SoCal United Way 211+ (“Inland SoCal 211+”).
2. Adopt Resolution 2022-255, accepting (2) two disbursements of Emergency Rental Assistance 1 (ERA 1) Reallocated Funds received from the U.S.

1 THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AND INLAND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 211+
This Third Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement (“Third Amendment”) is made and entered into by and between the City of San Bernardino (“City”) and Inland Southern California 211+, a subsidiary of Inland Southern California United Way (“Consultant”) as of the last date set forth below. City and Consultant are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (“CAA”) was signed into law. The legislation includes $25 billion in emergency rental assistance to assist households that are unable to pay rent or utilities, due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Tribal communities, U.S. territories, states and local governments with populations over 200,000 are eligible to receive funding.
The City, a public agency of the State of California (“State”), received an initial federal allocation of Six Million Four Hundred and Fifteen Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty Three Dollars ($6,415,633.00) from the United States Treasurer (“U.S. Treasury”) (“Federal Allocation”), of which Five Million Seven Hundred Seventy Four Thousand and Seventy Dollars ($5,774,070.00) was made available in direct assistance. Pursuant to federal regulations, the total administrative cost for the program at that time was Six Hundred and Forty One Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty Three Dollars ($641,563.00).
The Federal Allocation shall be used for the sole purpose of implementing an Emergency Rental Assistance Program (“ERAP 1”).
On March 9, 2021, a Request for Proposal (RFP# F-21-21)(“RFP”) for the administration of the Federal Allocation was issued. City selected Consultant to enter this Agreement for the Administration of the City’s Federal Allocation (or alternatively referred to herein as the “ERAP 1 Program”).
On April 21, 2021, City Council of the City of San Bernardino adopted Resolution No. 2021-92 authorizing the City Manager to execute an Agreement with Consultant to administer the City’s ERAP 1 Program.
The City and Consultant entered into that certain Professional Services Agreement on May 26, 2021 for the administration of the City’s ERAP 1 (“Agreement”) in a Not-TooExceed Amount of $448,410.00.
On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Pub. L. No. 117-2 (March 11, 2021) (“ARPA”) was signed into law and herein incorporated into the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement, executed by the parties on December 15, 2021, incorporated by reference (“Second Amendment”). Section 3201 of Subtitle B of Title III of ARPA established the federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program (“ERAP 2”), and authorized the direct allocation of emergency rental assistance Packet Pg. 3967
55600.00230\40872548.2
2 funds to states, units of local government, tribal communities, and territories. The ERAP 2 funds are intended to assist households that are unable to pay rent and utilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The State enacted California Senate Bill No. 91 (2021-2022 Reg. Sess.) (“SB 91”) and Assembly Bill No. 832 (2021-22 Reg. Sess.) (“AB 832”) that established the State of California’s program for administering its share of ERAP funds (the “State Rental Assistance Program”). SB 91 added Chapter 17 (commencing with Section 50897) to Part 2 of Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code. Health and Safety Code section 50897.1, subdivision (a)(1), as amended by AB 832, authorizes the Department of Housing and Community Development (the “Department”) to administer the State Rental Assistance Funds in accordance with state and federal law.
On August 25, 2021, the Parties entered into an amendment to modify the ERAP 1 Program requirements to be consistent with AB 832 and to add measures to ensure compliance with federal allocation deadlines for the administration of the ERAP 1 program (“First Amendment”).
On September 15, 2021, the City Council adopted a Resolution to receive an allocation of State Rental Assistance Program Funds for ERAP 2 pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 50897.2.1, subdivision (2) (such allocation, a “Block Grant Award”) in the initial amount of $6,018,454.42 (“Initial Match”), and potentially two to three times that amount.
The City’s Block Grant Award is subject to the requirements of SB 91, AB 832, State Housing Department guidelines, and to the relevant requirements of the ARPA and U.S.
Treasury interpretive guidance, including guidance and program parameters required pursuant to the CAA, and to any and all such requirements as may be subsequently amended (collectively, the “Block Grant Award Requirements”).
The City and Department entered into a Standard Agreement (“Master Agreement”), to allocate the Block Grant Award for the administration of the City’s ERAP 2 State Block Grant, attached to the Second Amendment as Exhibit “E” by reference. The Initial Match was increased by the Department pursuant to the Master Agreement, and the City’s total Block Grant Award allocation was listed in the Master Agreement as $8,273,045.10.
However, at that time, the maximum amount that the Department was obligated to disburse to the City was listed as $2,407,381.77 in the Master Agreement. At that time the Second Amendment was executed, City was able to make $2,323,123.17 available to United Way, which includes the not-too-exceed amount contained within Exhibit B-1, the Schedule of Charges of the Second Amendment, which was amended subject to subsequent disbursements from the Department to City for Consultant to administer.
The Master Agreement requires the City to contractually obligate at least 75 percent of the first tranche of its ERAP 2 Block Grant Award by October 31, 2021. The final Master Agreement was provided by the Department to the City via email on November 17, 2021, and fully executed on November 19, 2021, following the October 31, 2021 deadline. The Department may waive the requirement for the first tranche of funds. However, the City may be required, pursuant to the Master Agreement, to repay the Department the amount Packet Pg. 3968
55600.00230\40872548.2
3 of ERAP 2 State Block Award that has not been contractually obligated or expended by any AB 832 or federal deadlines.
The Second Amendment authorized the Consultant to administer the City’s ERAP 2 State Block Grant, in addition to the administration of ERAP 1 under the CAA and increased the Consultant’s total compensation amount by $240,738.17, from the previous amount of $448,410.00, for a new not to exceed amount of $689,148.17. The increased compensation for the administration of City’s ERAP 2 State Block Grant was ten percent (10%) of the initial disbursement and maximum amount of the Master Agreement with the Department, and will be further increased upon the distribution of additional funds from the Department pursuant to an amended Master Agreement.
The Parties now wish to amend the Agreement via this Third Amendment, for Consultant to obligate two additional disbursements of ERAP 1 reallocated funds received from the U.S. Department of Treasury (“Treasury”) for an amount totaling $352,383.14 at this time, with the possibility of future ERAP 1 reallocated funds in the future, and revise Section 10 of the Agreement to specify City’s preference for remaining ERAP 1 funds.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
The recitals above are true and correct and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.
1. Section 4(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended to include Exhibit “B-2” Schedule of Charges (Supplemental), attached to this Third Amendment as Exhibit “B”-2 (Supplemental) and incorporated into the Agreement by this reference.
2. Section 4(b) of the Agreement is hereby revised to read, in its entirety, as follows:
In no event shall the total amount paid for services rendered by Consultant under this Agreement and its Supplemental Amendments exceed the sum of Seven Hundred Thirteen Thousand Eight Hundred Fourteen Dollars and Ninety Nine Cents ($713,814.99)(“Not-to-Exceed Amount”). This Not to Exceed Amount is to cover all related costs, and the City will not pay any additional fees for administrative expenses. Consultant may be required to submit administrative invoices to City for approval based on Exhibit “B,” the Schedule of Charges for the ERAP 1 Program, and Exhibits “B-1” and “B2” (Supplementals), including the Schedule of Charges for the ERAP 2 State Block Grant (collectively, the “Draw Down Schedule”). The City reserves the right to modify the Schedule of Charges in its sole discretion, including to add additional funds for either the ERAP 2 State Block Grant or Exhibit “B-2,” based on any reallocated ERAP 1 funds issued by the U.S.
Treasury. Invoices shall be based on the total of all Consultant’s services which have been completed to date, to City’s sole satisfaction. Consultant is required to separately account for allocations for the ERAP 1 Program, the ERAP 2 State Block Grant and any reallocated ERAP 1 funds issued to City by the Treasury. The invoice shall describe in detail the services performed and the associated time for completion. Any additional services Packet Pg. 3969
55600.00230\40872548.2
4 approved and performed pursuant to this Agreement shall be designated as “Additional Services” and shall identify the number of the authorized change order, where applicable, on all invoices.
3. Section 4(c) of the Agreement is hereby revised to read, in its entirety, as follows:
Consultant shall draw and expend Program funds to serve qualifying households in accordance with the schedules set forth in the Draw Down Schedules, beginning with the initial disbursement of the Federal Allocation following the execution of this Agreement. Disbursements as set forth in the Draw Down Schedules will be contingent on Consultant's compliance, in City's sole discretion, with all Program metrics contained in Exhibit "A" and Exhibit “A-1”, Scope of Service, including weekly reports that include total dollar value of applications paid, amount of Federal Allocation or State Block Grant or reallocated ERAP 1 funding remaining, and projections of how many additional applications may be funded, among others.
4. Section 6 is hereby revised to read, in its entirety, as follows:
This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue through December 31, 2023 (“Term”). The City may, at its sole discretion extend this Agreement on a 12-month basis not to exceed one(1) additional twelve month renewal term by giving written notice thereof to the Consultant not less than (30) calendar days before the end of the Agreement Term.
5. Section 10(c) of the Agreement is hereby revised to read, in its entirety, as follows:
(c.) The Consultant certifies that the activities carried out with funds provided by the City under this Agreement will only be used to cover costs to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19 as set forth in the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (collectively the “Acts”), and U.S. Treasury guidance, as well as applicable State authorities, SB 91, AB 832, and State Housing Department guidelines. Consultant shall prioritize remaining ERA 1 Reallocated Funds for utility debt and eviction prevention services, to the extent that prioritization is consistent with Program Guidelines and State and Federal law. However, in the event of conflict, the enabling Federal allocation law, and any applicable U.S.
Treasury guidance, shall control. This includes Consultant’s compliance with State Housing Department-approved program guidelines, which are incorporated by reference as a new Exhibit “F.” The Consultant acknowledges that the funds being provided by the City for the Program are distributed pursuant to Acts, and the Consultant agrees to comply with the requirements of the Acts, and any implementing regulations and programmatic requirements.
6. All other references in the Agreement to the CAA shall also include ARPA, as applicable. Otherwise, except as modified by this Third Amendment, all provisions Packet Pg. 3970
55600.00230\40872548.2
5 of the Agreement, First Amendment and Second Amendment shall remain in full force and effect for the term thereof.
7. This Third Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: December 7, 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, Housing, & Economic Development (CED) Subject: First Amendment to Subrecipient Agreement with Asociacíon de Emprendedor@s.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino approve the First Amendment to the Subrecipient Agreement with the Asociacíon de Emprendedor@s to extend the period in which to expend Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to March 31, 2023.
Background
The City was a recipient of CDBG funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) for Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
On July 1, 2021, the City entered into an agreement with Asociacíon de Emprendedor@s, a private non-profit corporation licensed to do business in the State of California, which authorized $35,000 in CDBG funds to provide microenterprise training to entrepreneurs and small businesses owners within the City’s Hispanic/Latino community.
However, the noted agreement was delayed and not fully executed until September 30, 2021. Unfortunately, this delay placed Asociacíon de Emprendedor@s behind schedule, and it was unable to begin its initial training sessions on time, which also delayed subsequent training programs.
Discussion
The intent of the programs offered by Asociacíon de Emprendedor@s are to help small business owners establish and grow their small businesses. The long-term goals of these programs align directly to Asociacíon de Emprendedor@’s mission, which is to Packet Pg. 4023
educate, motivate, empower, and develop the leadership and business skills of Hispanic entrepreneurs by offering support and resources to help them to achieve success in their companies. Due to the delay in executing the agreement, Asociacion de Empendedor@s has requested an extension of their agreement end date from June 30, 2022, to March 31, 2023. With this extension, Asociacíon de Emprendedor@s will be able to expend their awarded contract amount and fulfill the terms of their initial contract.
Lastly, to date, Asociacion de Empendedor@s has expended approximately $23,375 (of the awarded $35,000), has assisted 45 San Bernardino-based companies and entrepreneurs, and has completed four 8-week workshops. Unfortunately, this contract extension is being brought before the City Council later than originally anticipated because the last of Asociacion de Empendedor@s workshops was completed in September of 2022 and their invoice was not submitted to staff until October of 2022. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Approval of the First Amendment to the Subrecipient Agreement with Asociacíon de Emprendedor@s aligns with Key Target Goal No. 2: Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community and, more specifically, 2a: Building a culture that attracts, retains, and motivates the highest quality talent.
Fiscal Impact
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with this report.
Conclusion

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 19.42.040, the Mayor and City Council have the authority to take action on Development Code Amendment 22-05 based upon findings of fact.
NOW THEREFORE, THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein.
SECTION 2. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The Mayor and City Council having independently reviewed and analyzed the record before it, including written and oral testimony, and having exercised their independent judgment, finds that there is no substantial evidence supporting a fair argument that approval of Development Code Amendment 22-05 and this Ordinance No. MC-1601 will result in a significant effect on the environment, and thus the project is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b) of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines due to the fact that the activity does not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
SECTION 3. Finding of Facts – Development Code Amendment 22-05 Finding No. 1: The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan.
Finding of Fact: The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan goals and policies including the following:
General Plan Land Use Element Policy 2.1.2: Require that new development with potentially adverse impacts on existing neighborhoods or residents such as noise, traffic, emissions, and storm water runoff, be located and designed so that quality of life and safety in existing neighborhoods are preserved.
General Plan Land Use Element Policy 2.2.1: Ensure compatibility between land uses and quality design through adherence to the standards and regulations in the Development Code and policies and guidelines in the Community Design Element.
Packet Pg. 4066
Ordinance No. MC-1601
General Plan Land Use Element Policy 2.2.8: Control the Location and number of community-sensitive 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 2.2.10: The protection of the quality of life shall take precedence during the review of new projects. Accordingly, the City shall utilize its discretion to deny or require mitigation of projects that result in impacts that outweigh benefits to the public.
The City of San Bernardino has a mixture of residential, industrial, commercial, and entertainment land uses. A number of these uses to include commercial and industrial uses can potentially have an adverse effect upon a residential neighborhood and community-sensitive uses. However, such industrial and commercial uses provide a vital role to the City’s economy.
Thus, it is important to maintain consistency between new land uses that may bring new economic growth to the City and existing residential neighborhoods. The amendment to the Land Use Regulations (Title 19) of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code would be consistent with the City’s General Plan as it would ensure that commercial cannabis activity types are located within zone designations that have comparable land uses in order to protect residential zone from incompatible cannabis activities.
Additionally, the City would be able to ensure that the various types of cannabis activity comply with all applicable zoning and development standards in order to protect and maintain the quality of life of the City.
Finding No. 2: The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
Finding of Fact: The amendment would update Title 19 (Land Use) of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code for the purpose of ensuring that commercial cannabis activity types are comparable to existing land use designations based on the type of use each cannabis operation undertakes. Additionally, in order to ensure that the quality of life for the City’s residents is maintained and not affected by the type of use each cannabis operation is undertaking, it will maintain that only qualified patients and persons over 21 years of age have safe access to cannabis. Therefore, the amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
SECTION 4. Adoption of Ordinance. Development Code Amendment 22-05 to amend Section 19.02.020 (Definitions), Chapter 19.06 (Commercial Zones), and Chapter 19.10 (Industrial Zones) of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code (Title 19), attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit “A” through “D”, is hereby approved.
Packet Pg. 4067
Ordinance No. MC-1601

SECTION 7. Severability: If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, or clause or phrase in this Ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted each section irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective.
SECTION 8. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after the date of its adoption.
SECTION 9. Notice of Adoption. The City Clerk of the City of San Bernardino shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and cause publication to occur in a newspaper of general circulation and published and circulated in the City in a manner permitted under section 36933 of the Government Code of the State of California.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: December 7, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Darren Goodman, Chief of Police
Department: Police
Subject: Accept the Project Safe Neighborhoods Grant (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2022-243:
1. Authorizing the City Manager to accept the FY 2019 Project Safe Neighborhoods Grant, and
2. Authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the FY 2022/23 Adopted Budget appropriating $177,154.51 in both revenue and expenditures.
Background
The Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program is administered by the U.S.
Department of Justice (DOJ) and Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) through the Children’s Initiative. The PSN program is a competitive grant process designed to create and encourage safer neighborhoods through a sustained reduction in violent crime. The Department submitted a proposal and was awarded PSN grant funds in FY 20/21 to pay officers overtime for data-driven proactive patrols in high-crime areas of the city. The program contributed to a record number of firearms recovered in 2021.
The success and attention brought by the program led the grantor to identify the City of San Bernardino as one of two target areas for the FY 22/23 grant solicitation. The Department submitted a proposal for FY22/23 and was awarded funding once again.
Based on the success of the previous program the Department was invited to apply for grant funding that remained from FY 19/20. The Department submitted a third proposal for the competitive process and successfully secured $177,154. 51 in grant funding to support the proposed violent crime reduction program.
Packet Pg. 4116
Discussion
The PSN program is designed to create and encourage safer neighborhoods through a sustained reduction in violent crime. Grant funding was approved to deploy datadriven Emergency Response Teams to reduce the occurrence of violent crime and respond to emergency calls for service. The Department expects to utilize all funds from this grant in FY 2022/23.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request to authorize the receipt, obligation and expenditure of the FY 2019 Project Safe Neighborhoods Grant aligns with Key Target No. 1. Improved Operational & Financial Capacity - Implement, maintain, and update a fiscal accountability plan.
Fiscal Impact
There is no financial impact to the General Fund with this recommendation. The FY 2022/23 budget will be amended in both revenues and expenditures by $177,154.51.
There are no match requirements under this grant.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2022-243:
1. Authorizing the City Manager to accept the FY 2019 Project Safe Neighborhoods Grant, and
2. Authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the FY 2022/23 Adopted Budget appropriating $177,154.51 in both revenue and expenditures

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Darren Goodman, Chief of Police
Department: Police
Subject: Notification to Civilian Governing Body and Local Community for the potential intent to request
controlled equipment from the Federal Government
(All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, review and approve the proposed “Notification to Civilian Governing Body and Local Community” letter, as required by Presidential Executive Order 14074 governing the potential acquisition of controlled federal government property.
Background
On May 25, 2022, Presidential Executive Order (EO) 14074 “Advancing Effective, Accountable Policing and Criminal Justice Practices to Enhance Public Trust and Public Safety” was signed by President Biden. This EO, in part, controlled the transfer/purchase of certain federal equipment. Specifically, EO 14074 requires local law enforcement agencies to notify both the community and their governing body of any potential intent to request controlled property.
Historically, the San Bernardino Police Department has utilized the Law Enforcement Support Program (LESO) to acquire federal equipment to help support and streamline policing operations. Over the years LESO has augmented the City budget by hundreds of thousands of dollars, that would have traditionally been encumbered from the General Fund. Our LESO coordinator provided working documentation to ensure the needs of EO 14074 are met.
Discussion
The San Bernardino Police Department is responsible for providing policing services to the community. The Department’s primary objective is to provide said services as safely as possible for the community and staff. As such, various equipment is used to increase its efficacy. The needed equipment is acquired a multitude of ways. One Packet Pg. 4123
method of obtaining needed equipment is through LESO. This program allows local agencies to attain federally controlled equipment that the Federal Government no longer needs.
In addition to the standard protocols set in place, to ensure departmental accountability for the relinquished equipment, EO 14074 now requires notification of any potential intent to acquire listed equipment. LESO requested this notification to be completed prior to the culmination of calendar year 2022, to ensure agencies' future competitive ability to ascertain needed equipment.
Though the San Bernardino Police Department does not currently have any specific intent to request any of the listed property, the notification must be completed prior to the request being made. LESO deploys an expedited process, precluding the Department’s ability to make said notification prior to any specific request. As such, the included list of Controlled Property Description is all-inclusive of the equipment controlled by EO 14074. By including all controlled equipment, it poises the Department for the greatest success when required items become available.
Attached is the Notification to Civilian Governing Body and Local Community letter signed by the Chief of Police and published on the Department website. This document will be sent to our LESO coordinator once viewed and approved by the Mayor and City Council. By doing so, the Department will once again be eligible to request equipment through LESO.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Approving the notification aligns with Key Target No 2: Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community, specifically 3b, evaluate operations and performance, investment in resources, technology, and tools to continually improve organizational efficiency and effectiveness, and 3: Improve Quality of Life, specifically 2c, evaluate and enhance the quality of public safety services.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the City.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, review and approve the proposed “Notification to Civilian Governing Body and Local Community” letter, as required by Presidential Executive Order 14074 governing the potential acquisition of controlled federal government property.

Subject: Execution of Amendment 2 to Professional Services Agreement to PM Group, DBA The Printery, in the
amount of $83,500 for the design, print, and mail
preparation of City of San Bernardino Parks,
Recreation and Community Services Department
trimester brochure for FY2022-2023
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution 2022-256 authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute Amendment 2 to Professional Services Agreement (PSA) between the City and the PM Group, DBA The Printery (“Printery”), for the design, print, and mail preparation services of the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department (“PRCSD”) trimester brochure for FY2022-2023.
Background
The Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department provides a diverse system of open spaces, meeting centers, programs, and community services to meet the social and leisure needs of the public and enhance the quality of life for all city residents. The PRCSD brochure plays a critical role in communicating the department mission to the community.
The brochure of activities provides information and highlights the quality programming offered through the department divisions: Aquatics, Sports, Center for Individual Development, Special Events, Community Centers, Senior Services (including the Packet Pg. 4128
Retired Senior Volunteer Program and the Senior Companion Program), and Outdoor Facilities (including picnic areas, community gardens, outdoor sports courts, special play courts, exercise equipment, and sports fields).
Discussion
Most of the City of San Bernardino residents were unaware of all the services provided through the PRCSD. Marketing efforts through social media and other technologybased platforms have not been as effective as printed media in the department’s outreach efforts. Recognizing the appeal of the brochures by the community and the positive outcomes in communicating and informing the city’s residents at large, the PRCSD is committed to continuing to develop robust brochures, which will serve as a guide for ongoing and seasonal activities, programs, and events. Greater awareness will equate to increased service participation and higher revenues through user fee collection.
Staff recommends the Mayor and City Council authorize the City to execute a one-year extension to the PSA for designing, printing, and mailing the City of San Bernardino PRCSD trimester brochure for FY2022-2023. Under the current agreement (Attachment 4), the City reserves the right to extend the contract up to four (4) additional one (1) year periods, in an amount not to exceed 110% of the annual contract amount of $97,635, to consider the current volatile price increases due to paper supply shortages due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The FY 2022-2023 PSA with the Printery will not exceed $83,500.
2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
Adoption of this Resolution aligns with Strategic Target No. 2: Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community by providing access to information through the PRCSD brochure, which will boost program participation and community engagement; and Strategic Target No. 3: Improved Quality of Life by serving as a tool to enhance customer service and a primary promotional source for essential PRCSD services and facilities to the community.
Fiscal Impact
The Fiscal Year 2022-2023 adopted budget currently has $100,500 budgeted for the design, print, and mail of the City of San Bernardino PRCSD trimester brochure.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution 2022-256 authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute Amendment 2 to Professional Services Agreement (PSA) between the City and the PM Group, DBA The Printery (“Printery”), for the design, print, and mail preparation services of the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department (“PRCSD”) trimester brochure for FY2022-2023.

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: Allocation of $25,000 from the Cultural Development Impact Fund for the repair and maintenance of Citywide memorial plaques and statues for FY 2022-2023 Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-257 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California: Authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to allocate funds in the amount of $25,000 from the Cultural Development Impact Fund for the repair and maintenance of City-wide memorial plaques and statues for FY 2022- 2023.
Background
The Arts and Historical Preservation Commission (“Commission”) worked with Parks, Recreation and Community Services staff to develop a maintenance and repair plan for the memorial plaques and statues throughout the City that need repair. Currently, there are three priority projects that require immediate repair, maintenance, and possible replacement. The stone on the Vietnam memorial granite rock in front of the flagpole at City Hall, the Martin Luther King Jr. statue next to the fountains at City Hall, and the angel at La Plaza Park have been identified as the three priority projects.
Discussion
Staff took this recommendation to the Commission and a motion was carried to provide the Council with recommendations to use $25,000 in FY 2022-2023 for the repairs of the granite stone, Martin Luther King, Jr. statue, and the angel at La Plaza Park. Staff is also working with the Public Works Department to create a list of all memorial Packet Pg. 4161
plaques, statues, and dedications to ensure a continuous effort of improving those that have been vandalized. The last maintenance and repairs of the three memorials were between $8,000-$12,000 per memorial. The Commission decided $25,000 would be sufficient to address the needs of the three memorials for the remainder of FY2023.
The maintenance and repair of the memorial plaques and statues will be a combination of efforts from the Public Works department staff and vendors who specialize in the production of stone memorials, for example, Frank L. Ricker Memorials will create the stone memorial and the Public Works Maintenance and Facilities team will install the stone in the Vietnam memorial granite rock by the flagpole in front of City Hall. City staff will adhere to City procurement guidelines to secure vendors for repairs of the memorial.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The allocation of Cultural Development Impact funds for the maintenance and repair of City-wide memorial plaques and statues for FY 2023 aligns with Goal No. 2:
Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community by providing opportunities to the community to visit the memorials and learn about the individuals or dedications at each site.
Fiscal Impact
There is no General Fund impact associated with this action. Funding is available in the Cultural Development Impact Fund to cover the proposed expenditures.
Conclusion
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-257 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California: Authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to allocate funds in the amount of $25,000 from the Cultural Development Impact Fund for the repair and maintenance of City-wide memorial plaques and statues for FY 2022- 2023.

Department: Parks & Recreation & Community Services
Subject: Approve the awards for Visual and Performing Arts Grant to winning applications ($72,700) and future

$98,000 in total
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-258 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorizing the Visual and Performance Art Grant awards to winning applications ($72,700) and future grant options for non 501c(3) applicants ($25,300) for $98,000 in total.
Background
The Visual and Performing Arts Grant provided by the City of San Bernardino Arts & Historical Preservation Commission received nine 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 has been allocated to this grant by the Mayor and City Council through use of the Cultural Development Impact Fund. The grant application deadline had to be Packet Pg. 4168
extended twice to receive an appropriate number of applications. Due to lack of applications, staff, with approval from the commission, 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 special provision totaled $2,000. The remaining $98,000 was made available to applicants for the Visual and Performing Arts Grant. The nine applications have been provided as attachments to the staff report. Upon request of proof of 501(c)(3), there were two organizations that provided letters of support from their funding sources which were qualified as nonprofits. However, on 11/21/22, the Arts and Historical Preservation Commission met and voted on this new information to change the list of awarded grants to seven instead of nine.
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 added to ensure proper use of funds. At this time the average of all input provided from the commissioners show the following awards for the applicants listed:

Arts Connection $ 8,250.00
San Bernardino Valley Concert Association (Garcia Center) $ 12,291.67 Akoma Unity Center $ 10,791.67

The Young S.A.M.O.A. $ 10,625.00
Youth Power Solutions $ 10,158.33

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: December 7, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Daniel Hernandez, Agency Director of Public Works,
Operations, and Maintenance
Department: Public Works
Subject: Agreement with Cal Stripe, Inc., for Street Striping and Pavement Marking Services (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Maintenance Services Agreement with Cal Stripe Inc., for street striping and pavement marking services; and
2. Authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to issue a purchase order in the amount of $270,000.
Background
The Operations and Maintenance Division (O&M) of the Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance, repair, and clean-up of City-owned infrastructure and rights of way. In collaboration with the Engineering Division of Public Works, it is also responsible for ensuring the City’s streets, street medians, islands, curbs, and related infrastructure (such as City owned parking lots and crosswalks) are properly maintained, inspected, repaired, and properly painted/marked as needed. General maintenance, inspection, repair, and repainting/marking of streets, crosswalks, and street medians is largely performed through service agreements along with staff from the Signs and Markings subsection of the Traffic and Lighting section of the O&M Division.
Discussion
The City of San Bernardino has nearly 1,300 lane miles (574 center lane miles) of streets requiring pavement markings and painting of center divider lines, curbs (to include no parking red zones), and “bullnoses” (front and back areas of street island curbs). Additionally, the City also maintains approximately 110 school crosswalks, Packet Pg. 4265
more than 1,200 street crosswalks, and 55 City-owned parking lots at parks and city facilities. These locations all require varied maintenance and upgrades that include (but is not limited to) repainting red, yellow, white, blue, and green zones at curbs, thermoplastic application of markings at street or school crosswalks, center divider line pavement markings, directional arrow street markings, white rumble strip installation, ceramic pavement marker installation, and parking lot/street parking striping.
To ensure our City conducts timely and first-rate street striping and pavement marking services, staff is requesting $270,000 under this maintenance services agreement. The Operations and Maintenance Division of Public Works worked with the Finance Department, and, in July of 2022, a formal process was initiated to solicit proposals for street striping and pavement marking services in Request for Proposal No. F-23-06. Notices were posted on the City’s website. The results of the solicitation yielded five vendors which were reviewed by Procurement for compliance with mandatory requirements. This selection was based on lowest quote received.
It is important to note that the cost results below reflect a sampling of the most typically required services and related materials and does not reflect the overall request of this maintenance services agreement (which is lower). Although the winning vendor listed an overall cost of $901,810, staff does not anticipate using all the services listed in the sampling of services listed in the cost sheet but has chosen to have options available should the need arise for specific services not typically used. In keeping with prior fiscal year average costs for street striping and pavement marking services, the amount of this maintenance agreement will be set at $270,000. The results were as follows:
VENDOR CITY COST
Cal Stripe, Inc. Colton, CA $901,810
Superior Pavement Markings, Inc. Beaumont, CA $1,426,245 WGJ Enterprises, Inc. Azusa, CA $2,089,500
Chrisp Co. Bloomington, CA $2,676,450
Safe USA, Inc. Ontario, CA $2,814,250
Cal Stripe Inc. provided the lowest quote and is a reputable vendor for street striping and pavement marking services. Staff is confident that they are qualified to provide the services required under this maintenance services agreement. Additionally, Cal Stripe Inc. has recently provided services to the City and is a vendor in good standing. The term of the proposed agreement shall be from December 7, 2022, to June 30, 2023.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with several City goals and targets. It is aligned with Key Packet Pg. 4266
Target 1e: Minimize risk and litigation exposure. Approval of this agreement will reduce the risk of potential liability associated with tort cases and significantly reduce the amount of open work order requests. It is also aligned with Key Target 3c: Evaluate and enhance the quality of public safety services. Pavement markings are an effective way of regulating traffic and communicating information to pedestrians and drivers.
Fiscal Impact
There is no General Fund impact associated with this action. Sufficient funds in the amount of $270,000 have been appropriated in the Gas Tax Fund FY22/23 budget.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Maintenance Services Agreement with Cal Stripe Inc., for street striping and pavement marking services; and
2. Authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to issue a purchase order in the amount of $270,000.

Registration/DIR Compliance. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, and if the total compensation is $15,000 or Packet Pg. 4278

J. Submittal Requirements
1. General: It is strongly recommended that the Proposer submit proposals in the format identified in this RFP to allow the City to fully evaluate and compare the proposal.
All requirements and questions in the RFP should be addressed and all requested data shall be supplied. The City reserves the right to request additional information which, in the City’s opinion, is necessary to assure that the Proposer’s competence, number of qualified employees, business organization, and financial resources are adequate to perform according to the Agreement.
2. Preparation: Proposals should be prepared in such a way as to provide a straightforward, concise delineation of capabilities to satisfy the requirements of this RFP.
Responses should emphasize the Proposer’s demonstrated capability to perform the Services.
Expensive bindings and promotional materials, etc., are not necessary or desired. However, technical literature that supports the approach to providing the Services and work plan should be forwarded as part of the proposal. Emphasis should be concentrated on completeness, approach to the work and clarity of proposal.
3. Site Examination: Proposers may visit the City and its physical facilities to determine the local conditions which may in any way affect the performance of the work; familiarize themselves with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and codes affecting the performance of the work; make such investigations, as it may deem necessary for performance of the Services at its proposal price within the terms of the Agreement; and correlate its observations, investigations, and determinations with the requirements of the Agreement.
Packet Pg. 4297
4. Authorization: The proposal shall be signed by an individual, partner, officer or officers authorized to execute legal documents on behalf of the Proposer.
5. Confidentiality of Proposal: Pursuant to Michaelis, Montanari, & Johnson v. Superior Court (2006) 38 Cal.4th 1065, proposals submitted in response to this RFP shall be held confidential by City and shall not be subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act (Cal. Government Code section 6250 et seq.) until after either City and the successful Proposer have completed negotiations and entered into an Agreement or City has rejected all proposals. All correspondence with the City including responses to this RFP shall become the exclusive property of the City and shall become public records under the California Public Records Act. Furthermore, the City shall have no liability to the Proposer or other party as a result of any public disclosure of any proposal or the Agreement.
If a Proposer desires to exclude a portion of its proposal from disclosure under the California Public Records Act, the Proposer must mark it as such and state the specific provision in the California Public Records Act which provides the exemption as well as the factual basis for claiming the exemption. For example, if a Proposer submits trade secret information, the Proposer must plainly mark the information as “Trade Secret” and refer to the appropriate section of the California Public Records Act which provides the exemption as well as the factual basis for claiming the exemption. Although the California Public Records Act recognizes that certain confidential trade secret information may be protected from disclosure, the City may not be in a position to establish that the information that a Proposer submits is a trade secret. If a request is made for information marked “Confidential”, “Trade Secret” or “Proprietary” (“Proprietary Information”), the City will provide Proposers who submitted the information with reasonable notice to seek protection from disclosure by a court of competent jurisdiction. Proposer shall have five (5) working days after receipt of such notice to give City written notice of Proposer's objection to the City's release of Proprietary Information. Proposer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City, and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against all liability, loss, cost or expense (including attorney's fees) arising out of a legal action brought to compel the release of Proprietary Information.
Proposals which indiscriminately identify all or most of the proposal as exempt from disclosure without justification may be deemed unresponsive and disqualified from further participation in this procurement.
Submittal Instructions: Proposals must be received no later than 3:00 pm local time, on or before August 11, 2022 through PlanetBids. It is solely the responsibility of Vendor to see that its Quote is properly submitted to PlanetBids in proper form and prior to the stated closing time.
PlanetBids will not accept late Quotes. The City will only consider Quotes that have transmitted successfully and have been issued a confirmation number with a time stamp from PlanetBids indicating that the Quote was submitted successfully.
The City shall not be responsible for proposals that are delinquent, lost, incorrectly marked, sent to an address other than that given herein, or sent by mail or courier service and not signed for by the City.
K. General Conditions
1. Amendments to RFP: The City reserves the right to amend the RFP and issue to all Proposers an addendum.
Packet Pg. 4298

Contractor shall guarantee that, at the option of the City, either: (1) the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or selfinsured retentions as respects the City, its directors, officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers; or (2) the Contractor shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigation costs, claims and administrative and defense expenses.

Performance Bond. If required by law or otherwise specifically requested by City in Exhibit “C” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, Contractor shall execute and provide to City concurrently with this Agreement a Performance Bond in the amount of the total, not-to-exceed compensation indicated in this Agreement, and in a form provided or approved by the City.

Payment Bond. If required by law or otherwise specifically requested by City in Exhibit “C” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, Contractor shall execute and provide to City concurrently with this Agreement a Payment Bond in the amount of the total, not-to-exceed compensation indicated in this Agreement, and in a form provided or approved by the City. If such bond is required, no payment will be made to Contractor until it has been received and approved by the City.
Bond Provisions.

To the extent available, the bonds shall further provide that no change or alteration of the Agreement (including, without limitation, an increase in the total compensation, as referred to above), extensions of time, or modifications of the time, terms, or conditions of payment to the Contractor, will release the surety. If the Contractor fails to furnish any required bond, the City may terminate this Agreement for cause.
Surety Qualifications. Only bonds executed by an admitted surety insurer, as defined in Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.120, shall be accepted. The surety must be a California-admitted surety with a current A.M. Best’s rating no less than A:VIII and satisfactory to the City.

Packet Pg. 4314
Exhibit B
Inspection Of Site. Contractor shall visit sites where Services are to be performed and shall become acquainted with all conditions affecting the Services prior to commencing the Services. Contractor shall make such examinations as it deems necessary to determine the condition of the work sites, its accessibility to materials, workmen and equipment, and to determine Contractor’s ability to protect existing surface and subsurface improvements. No claim for allowances–time or money–will be allowed as to such matters after commencement of the Services.
Field Measurements. Contractor shall make field measurements, verify field conditions and shall carefully compare such field measurements and conditions and other information known to Contractor with the Contract Documents, including any plans, specifications, or scope of work before commencing Services. Errors, inconsistencies or omissions discovered shall be reported to the City immediately and prior to performing any Services or altering the condition.
Loss and Damage. Contractor shall be responsible for all loss and damage which may arise out of the nature of the Services agreed to herein, or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen difficulties which may arise or be encountered in the prosecution of the Services until the same is fully completed and accepted by City.
Warranty. Contractor warrants all Services under the Contract (which for purposes of this Section shall be deemed to include unauthorized work which has not been removed and any non-conforming materials incorporated into the work) to be of good quality and free from any defective or faulty material and workmanship. Contractor agrees that for a period of one year (or the period of time specified elsewhere in the Contract or in any guarantee or warranty provided by any manufacturer or supplier of equipment or materials incorporated into the work, whichever is later) after the date of final acceptance, Contractor shall within ten (10) days after being notified in writing by the City of any defect in the Services or non-conformance of the Services to the Contract, commence and prosecute with due diligence all Services necessary to fulfill the terms of the warranty at its sole cost and expense. Contractor shall act sooner as requested by the City in response to an emergency. In addition, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair and replace any portions of the work (or work of other contractors) damaged by its defective Services or which becomes damaged in the course of repairing or replacing defective work. For any work so corrected, Contractor’s obligation hereunder to correct defective work shall be reinstated for an additional one-year period, commencing with the date of acceptance of such corrected work. Contractor shall perform such tests as the City may require to verify that any corrective actions, including, without limitation, redesign, repairs, and replacements comply with the requirements of the Contract. All costs associated with such corrective actions and testing, including the removal, replacement, and reinstitution of equipment and materials necessary to gain access, shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor. All warranties and guarantees of subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers with respect to any portion of the work, whether express or implied, are deemed to be obtained by Contractor for the benefit of the City, regardless of whether or not such warranties and guarantees have been transferred or assigned to the City by separate agreement and Contractor agrees to enforce such warranties and guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of the City. In the event that Contractor fails to perform its obligations under this Section, or under any other warranty or guaranty under this Contract, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, the City shall have the right to correct and replace any defective or non-conforming work and any work damaged by such work or the replacement or correction thereof at Contractor's sole expense. Contractor shall be obligated to fully reimburse the City for any expenses incurred hereunder upon demand.

Exhibit B
Fees and Payments.
Compensation. Contractor shall receive compensation, including authorized reimbursements, for all Services rendered under this Agreement at the rates set forth in Exhibit “C” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The total compensation shall not exceed [***INSERT WRITTEN DOLLAR AMOUNT***] ($[***INSERT NUMERICAL DOLLAR AMOUNT***]) without written approval of City’s [***INSERT TITLE***]. Extra Work may be authorized, as described below, and if authorized, will be compensated at the rates and manner set forth in this Agreement.
Payment of Compensation. Contractor shall submit to City a monthly itemized statement which indicates work completed and hours of Services rendered by Contractor. The statement shall describe the amount of Services and supplies provided since the initial commencement date, or since the start of the subsequent billing periods, as appropriate, through the date of the statement. City shall, within 45 days of receiving such statement, review the statement and pay all approved charges thereon.
Deductions. City may deduct or withhold, as applicable, from each progress payment an amount necessary to protect City from loss because of: (1) stop payment notices as allowed by state law; (2) unsatisfactory prosecution of the Services by Contractor; (3) sums representing expenses, losses, or damages as determined by the City, incurred by the City for which Contractor is liable under the Agreement; and (4) any other sums which the City is entitled to recover from Contractor under the terms of the Agreement or pursuant to state law, including Section 1727 of the California Labor Code. The failure by the City to deduct any of these sums from a progress payment shall not constitute a waiver of the City's right to such sums.
Reimbursement for Expenses. Contractor shall not be reimbursed for any expenses unless authorized in writing by City.
Extra Work. At any time during the term of this Agreement, City may request that Contractor perform Extra Work. As used herein, “Extra Work” means any work which is determined by City to be necessary for the proper completion of the Project, but which the parties did not reasonably anticipate would be necessary at the execution of this Agreement. Contractor shall not perform, nor be compensated for, Extra Work without written authorization from City’s Representative.
Prevailing Wages. Contractor is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000, et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on certain “public works” and “maintenance” projects. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. City shall provide Contractor with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Contract. Contractor shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request and shall post copies at Contractor’s principal place of business and at the project site. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claims, liabilities, costs, penalties or interest arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. It shall be mandatory upon the Contractor and all subcontractors to comply with all California Labor Code Packet Pg. 4316
Exhibit B
provisions, which include but are not limited to prevailing wages (Labor Code Sections 1771, 1774 and 1775), employment of apprentices (Labor Code Section 1777.5), certified payroll records (Labor Code Sections 1771.4 and 1776), hours of labor (Labor Code Sections 1813 and 1815) and debarment of contractors and subcontractors (Labor Code Section 1777.1). The requirement to submit certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner under Labor Code section 1771.4 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Section 1771.4.
Registration/DIR Compliance. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, and if the total compensation is $15,000 or more, then pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Contractor and all subcontractors performing such Services must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Contractor shall maintain registration for the duration of the Project and require the same of any subcontractors, as applicable. This Project may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the contractor registration requirements mandated by Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1. Any stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Contractor or any subcontractor that affect Contractor’s performance of Services, including any delay, shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered Contractor caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Contractor or any subcontractor.
Termination of Agreement.
Grounds for Termination. City may, by written notice to Contractor, terminate the whole or any part of this Agreement at any time and without cause by giving written notice to Contractor of such termination, and specifying the effective date thereof, at least seven (7) days before the effective date of such termination. Upon termination, Contractor shall be compensated only for those services which have been adequately rendered to City, and Contractor shall be entitled to no further compensation. Contractor may not terminate this Agreement except for cause.
Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, City may require Contractor to provide all finished or unfinished Documents and Data and other information of any kind prepared by Contractor in connection with the performance of Services under this Agreement.

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: December 7, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Daniel Hernandez, Agency Director of Public Works, Operations and Maintenance
Department: Public Works
Subject: Agreement with Yunex, LLC., for Streetlight Pole Replacement Services (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Adopt resolution No. 2022-259 authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the FY 2022/23 General Fund Operating Budget in the amount of $450,000; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Maintenance Services Agreement with Yunex, LLC., for streetlight pole replacement services; and
3. Authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the FY22/23 budget in the amount of $450,000 to the Public Works Operations and Maintenance General Fund; and
4. Authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to issue a purchase order to Yunex, LLC., in the amount not to exceed $450,000.
Background
The Operations and Maintenance Division (O&M) of the Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance, repair, and clean-up of City-owned infrastructures and rights of way. In conjunction with the Engineering Division of Public Works, it is also responsible for ensuring the City’s streetlights are properly maintained, inspected, upgraded, and repaired as needed. General maintenance, repair, and inspection of streetlights is largely performed through contractual services, in addition to staff from the Traffic and Lighting section of the O&M Division.
Packet Pg. 4329
Discussion
The City of San Bernardino has nearly 9,500 streetlights throughout its city limits with an additional 10,500 streetlights belonging to Southern California Edison. These streetlights are in neighborhoods, main arterial roads, school crossings, and other areas. Annually, many of these streetlights are knocked down due to collisions or other accidents requiring repairs that are scheduled thereafter using contractual services. In a typical year, more than 40 streetlights are knocked down due to collisions. Currently, the City has approximately 62 streetlights needing replacement due to collisions or vandalism. National supply chain shortages and cost increases have made replacing streetlights in a timely manner challenging for staff; however, staff believes this streetlight replacement maintenance services agreement will greatly improve response times in the repair and replacement of knocked down poles. To ensure our City repairs and replaces knocked down streetlight poles in a timely manner, staff is requesting $450,000 for streetlight pole replacement services under this maintenance services agreement.
The Operations and Maintenance Division of Public Works worked with the Finance Department, and, in July of 2022, a formal bid process was initiated to solicit quotes for streetlight pole replacement services in the Request for Proposal No. F-23-09.
Notices were posted on the City’s website. The results of the bid opening yielded two vendors which were reviewed by Procurement for compliance with mandatory requirements. This selection was based on lowest bid. It is important to note that the results below reflect a sampling of the most typically required services and related materials and does not reflect the overall cost of the maintenance services agreement. The amount of this maintenance agreement will be set at $450,000. The results were as follows:
BIDDER CITY COST
Yunex, LLC. Riverside, CA $34,560
M.Brey Electric, Inc. Beaumont, CA $80,722
Yunex, LLC., provided the lowest bid and is a reputable vendor for streetlight pole replacement services. Staff is confident that they are qualified to provide the services required under this maintenance services agreement. Additionally, Yunex, LLC., has previously provided services to the City and is a vendor in good standing. The term of the proposed agreement shall be from December 7, 2022, to June 30, 2025. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with several City goals and targets. It is aligned with Key Target 1e: Minimize risk and litigation exposure. Approval of this agreement will reduce the risk of potential liability associated with tort cases and significantly reduce the amount of open work order requests. It is also aligned with Key Target 3c: Evaluate and enhance the quality of public safety services. Broken or inadequate streetlights are a safety issue for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Acquiring contractual services will improve response times and promote the safe and orderly movement of traffic within the City.
Packet Pg. 4330
Fiscal Impact
The General Fund impact is $450,000. A budget amendment is requested for approval as this was not previously appropriated in the FY22/23 budget. Increases in costs for materials and components along with record inflation have also necessitated this budget amendment request.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Adopt resolution No. 2022-259 authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the FY 2022/23 General Fund Operating Budget in the amount of $450,000; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Maintenance Services Agreement with Yunex, LLC., for streetlight pole replacement services; and
3. Authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the FY22/23 budget in the amount of $450,000 to the Public Works Operations and Maintenance General Fund; and
4. Authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to issue a purchase order Yunex, LLC., in the amount not to exceed $450,000.
