DISCUSSION
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: September 4, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Rochelle Clayton, Acting City Manager
Department: City Manager's Office
Subject: Accept Three Million Dollars in Grant Funds from the County of San Bernardino for the City’s Navigation
Center (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2024-200:
1. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to accept grant funds in the amount of $3,000,000 from the County of San Bernardino; and
2. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to execute the Revocable Grant Agreement; and
3. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to conduct all additional negotiations, signings, and submittals of necessary documents to receive the grant funds; and
4. Authorizing the Director of Finance and Management Services to amend the FY 2024/25 budget in both revenues and expenditures, and appropriate $3,000,000 in grant funds to be used towards the City’s Navigation Center.
Executive Summary
The County of San Bernardino has awarded the City with three (3) million dollars in grant funds to assist with the development of the City’s Navigation Center. There is no match requirement associated with the grant and no impact to the General Fund.
Background
The City’s Navigation Center, called the San Bernardino Homeless Outreach, Prevention, and Education Campus (“HOPE Campus” or “Navigation Center”), serves as the cornerstone of the City’s long-term strategy towards addressing homelessness.
Packet Page. 518
The HOPE Campus will offer interim housing, recuperative care, and comprehensive onsite services that will connect the City’s unsheltered population to a wide range of programs, social services, and housing.
To fund the construction and operation of the Navigation Center, the Mayor and City Council have approved the following allocations:
• On December 7, 2022, the Mayor and City Council allocated $12,450,000 in ARPA funds for the construction of the Navigation Center and $4,500,000 in ARPA funds for the operation of the Navigation Center.
• On March 15, 2023, the Mayor and City Council approved an allocation of $4,299,671 of HOME-ARP funds to assist with the design and construction of the Navigation Center.
• On June 21, 2023, the Mayor and City Council adopted the FY 2023-24 Annual Action Plan, which included an allocation of $1,901,365 in CDBG funds for the Navigation Center.
• On July 19, 2023, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023- 097, amending the City’s 2020-2023 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program funding to provide $4,355,241 towards the operating and/or capital costs of the City’s Navigation Center.
• On October 4, 2023, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023- 144 for the Strategic Initiatives, approving an annual allocation of $2,000,000 for Homelessness Services Sustainability beginning FY 2026/27. • On November 1, 2023, the Mayor and City Council accepted $808,358.87 in Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) Round 3 grant funds from the County of San Bernardino for the Navigation Center.
Discussion
The County of San Bernardino (County) has awarded the City with three (3) million dollars in grant funds to assist with the development of the City’s Navigation Center.
Both the City and County are partners in addressing homelessness, and officials from both agencies have been working together to coordinate their efforts in providing programs and assistance to the City’s homeless population, which includes funding assistance to help develop the HOPE Campus.
To receive the grant funds, the City is required to record a deed of trust and regulatory agreement against the property for a period of ten (10) years. This is to ensure that the affordability and occupancy covenants of the grant agreement are followed for the full duration of the ten-year grant term. What this means is that the City must continue to operate the Navigation Center as an interim housing shelter for ten (10) years and cannot repurpose the facility for another use during this time. The State and Federal Packet Page. 519
funding sources that the City is utilizing for the Navigation Center have similar requirements. Due to the complexity in addressing homelessness, the City anticipates that the need to operate the Navigation Center will extend well beyond the ten-year term.
The grant also requires for the City to participate in using the County’s Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and work in collaboration with the Coordinated Entry System (CES) and County Continuum of Care. These systems are already utilized by the City and its Homeless Outreach Team, and this requirement will not prevent the City from prioritizing available beds at the Navigation Center for the City’s unsheltered residents. As the owner and operator of the Navigation Center, the City will establish the eligible participant selection plan, where referrals made by the City to its own Navigation Center will receive first priority. Based on the 2024 Point In Time County (PITC), the City has 1,417 homeless individuals, of which 977 are unsheltered. This accounts for 32% of the County’s unsheltered population and it is anticipated that all 200 beds within the Navigation Center will be utilized by the City’s unsheltered residents.
It is also important to note that the requirements of the grant agreement do not interfere with the City’s ability to maintain control over the operations of the Navigation Center.
The City retains full control over selecting and managing the Navigation Center’s lead operator, only providing the County its services plan and accompanying budget for informational purposes; the County holds no veto power or approval authority over these matters. In accordance with the grant agreement, the City will make available to the County all financial, budget, and audit information related to the Navigation Center, which is a provision that is also found in the State and Federal funding sources that the City is utilizing.
Navigation Center Update
The City has restructured its approach towards developing the Navigation Center and has released a new series of Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and Request for Proposals (RFP). Previously, the City attempted to utilize a design-build approach, where one contract would be awarded to a single design-build team who would handle all aspects of the project. Under the new approach, the RFQs and RFPs will be broken up to improve price transparency with the bids and produce more competitive results.
The new RFQs and RFPs include the following:
• An RFQ for Development Services with Modular Experience • An RFQ for a General Contractor with Modular Experience • An RFP for a Modular Building Services Provider
A more substantive update and timeline regarding the Navigation Center and the City’s short term vs long term homelessness strategies will be provided during the Council Meeting.
Packet Page. 520
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Accepting grant funds from the County of San Bernardino for the City’s Navigation Center aligns with Key Target No. 3: Improved Quality of Life.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. The FY 2024/25 Operating Budget will be amended by $3,000,000 in both revenues and expenditures.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2024-200:
1. Authorizing the City Manager or designee to accept grant funds in the amount of $3,000,000 from the County of San Bernardino; and
2. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to execute the Revocable Grant Agreement; and
3. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to conduct all additional negotiations, signings, and submittals of necessary documents to receive the grant funds; and
4. Authorizing the Director of Finance and Management Services to amend the FY 2024/25 budget in both revenues and expenditures, and appropriate $3,000,000 in grant funds to be used towards the City’s Navigation Center.

To satisfy this requirement, Grantee must provide to the County, in addition to any other information reasonably required by the County, evidence demonstrating that the proposed amount of the refinanced Senior Loan is necessary to provide adequate acquisition, construction and/or permanent financing (or County approved refinancing thereof so long as the term of the refinancing loan does not exceed the then outstanding principal balance of the existing Senior Lien) to ensure the viability of the Project, and adequate financing for the Project would not be available without the proposed subordination;

To satisfy this requirement, the subordination agreement must provide the County with adequate rights to cure any defaults by Grantee, including: (i) providing the County or its successor with copies of any notices of default at the same time and in the same manner as provided to Grantee; and (ii) providing the County with a cure period of at least sixty (60) days to cure any default;
(4) The subordination(s) of the Grant is effective only during the original term of the Senior Loan and any extension of its term or refinancing approved in writing by the County;

(b) Grantee is solely responsible for all aspects of Grantee's conduct in connection with the Housing Improvements, including (but not limited to) the quality and suitability of the plans and specifications, the supervision of construction work, and the qualifications, financial condition, and performance of all architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, consultants, and property managers. Any review or inspection undertaken by the County with reference to the Housing Improvements is solely for the purpose of determining whether Grantee is properly discharging its obligations to the County, and may not be relied upon by Grantee or by any third parties as a warranty or representation by the County as to the quality of the design or construction of the Housing Improvements.
Section 3.11 Certificates of Completion.Promptly after completion of the Scope of Work for the Housing Improvements and issuance by the City of a certificate of occupancy for the Project, upon written request from the Grantee, in accordance with those provisions of this Agreement relating solely to the obligations of the Grantee to complete the Scope of Work for the Housing Improvements; and the County's determination that the Grantee various obligations with regards to completion of the Housing Improvements under this Agreement have been met; the County will provide the Grantee with a Certificate of Completion for the Housing Improvements. If upon the written request from the Grantee, the County determines, at its reasonable discretion, that the Grantee is not entitled to a Certificate of Completion because the Grantee has not completed the Housing Improvements in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the County shall within twenty (20) days of such request, provide the Grantee with a written response stating with specificity the obligations required to be completed as a condition for issuing the Certificate of Completion. If the County fails to issue or fails to provide a written response stating with specificity the reasons the County will not issue a Certificate of Completion to the Grantee within twenty (20) days of a request hereunder, then the Grantee shall be deemed to be entitled to receive such Certificate of Completion. (b) Such Certificates of Completion shall be conclusive evidence that the covenants in this Agreement with respect to the obligations of Grantee to complete the Scope of Work for the Housing Improvements described in such certificate and the dates for the beginning and completion thereof have been met; provided, however, such certifications shall not be conclusive evidence regarding Grantee satisfaction of the prevailing wage requirements of this Agreement. Such certifications and determinations shall not constitute evidence of compliance Packet Page. 540

Section 3.12 Mechanics Liens, Stop Notices, and Notices of Completion. (a) If any claim of lien is filed against the Property, or any portion thereof, or a stop notice affecting the County Grant is served on the County or any other lender or other third party in connection with the Housing Improvements, then Grantee shall, within twenty (20) days after such filing or service, either pay and fully discharge the lien or stop notice, effect the release of such lien or stop notice by delivering to the County a surety bond in sufficient form and amount, or provide the County with other assurance satisfactory to the County that the claim of lien or stop notice will be paid or discharged.
(b) If Grantee fails to discharge any lien, encumbrance, charge, or claim in the manner required in this Section or obtain a surety bond, then in addition to any other right or remedy, the County may (but is under no obligation to) discharge such lien, encumbrance, charge, or claim at Grantee's expense.

Such inspections do not relieve the Grantee, or its contractors, from any applicable requirement to obtain other City or County inspections in connection with the Scope of Work for the Housing Improvements.
(b) After the completion of an inspection the County shall deliver a copy of the inspection report to the Grantee. If the County determines as a result of such inspection that there are any life-threatening health and safety related deficiencies, Grantee has the obligation to correct such deficiencies immediately.

Section 3.16 Relocation.
There are no current tenants or occupants of the Property, and no permanent or temporary displacement of tenants is expected.

All costs and expenses, including (but not limited to) attorneys' fees and other professional service fees and costs, incurred by the County in connection with any action commenced under this paragraph, including any action required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(b) to determine the degree to which the Property is environmentally impaired, plus interest thereon at the lesser of ten percent (10%) or the maximum rate permitted by law, until paid, will be payable to the County upon its demand made at any time following the conclusion of such action.

DISCUSSION
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: September 4, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Rochelle Clayton, Acting City Manager
Department: City Manager's Office
Subject: Reaffirmation of Homelessness State of Emergency Declaration (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-201, reaffirming the declaration of a Homelessness State of Emergency; and
2. Direct the City Manager or designee the ability to take certain administrative actions to streamline the provision of shelter to people experiencing homelessness, including the waiver of purchasing or bidding for physical shelter space.
Executive Summary
On February 1, 2023, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-028, which declared a State of Homelessness Emergency, for a period of one year. The sunset of the Proclamation of Emergency was on February 1, 2024. This resolution is to reaffirm the State of Homelessness Emergency, which shall sunset on December 31, 2025, subject to being renewed.
Since the declaration in February 2023, the City has faced numerous obstacles in battling the homeless crisis, including the Injunction against Homeless Encampment Removal, imposed by Judge Hatter in May 2023. Since that time, the City has exhibited an influx of Homeless Encampments in parks and open spaces. Due to the Injunction and prohibition to move the un-housed, the crisis has increased exponentially.
Packet Page. 609
Background
Throughout the years, the City has maintained partnerships with several local homeless service agencies to provide shelter, housing, and resources to the homeless community, but despite best efforts, there has been little impact in mitigating homelessness. The source of this issue is connected to the City’s shelter crisis. There is insufficient capacity to shelter everyone experiencing homelessness.
Actions Taken to Address Homelessness
On October 31, 2022, the City hired Homeless Services Coordinator, Ashley Esquivel, who is working closely with the Deputy Director of Housing & Homelessness, Cassandra Searcy to develop methodologies that are consistent with best practices, align with the County’s Continuum of Care System, and strengthen community partnerships.
On December 7, 2022, Council approved over $25 million in ARPA funds for the following homeless related initiatives:
• Public Health and Safety - FY 23 $613,678 for the remainder of the year with an ongoing expense of approximately $1,076,158 in FY 24. During the first quarter of FY 2023 the City added: 2 Lead Maintenance Workers, 2 Maintenance Supervisors, and 8 Maintenance Worker I (FLEX) Funding to assist with encampment clean-ups.
• Navigation Center - $12.45 million: Development of a 200-bed, low-barrier, noncongregate facility that provides interim housing and onsite supportive services. • Ongoing Operational Cost for Navigation Center - $4.5 million: Provides $1.5 million annually over the span of three (3) years.
• Homeless Outreach Team - $1.5 million: Dedicated street outreach to provide City-wide comprehensive coverage to assist individuals experiencing homelessness.
• Mobile Shower Expansion - $150,000: Partner with a non-profit organization to expand mobile shower services throughout the City by operating a 28-footlong mobile shower trailer equipped with three (3) full-service restrooms and laundry facility.
• Lutheran Social Services (LSSSC) - $5 million: The City is partnering with LSSSC on a Homekey Round 3 project to expand shelter capacity and develop a 140 bed, non-congregate interim housing and 20 permanent supportive housing units for men and men with children.
In planning to build the City’s Navigation Center, The City’s Navigation Center, called the San Bernardino Homeless Outreach, Prevention, and Education Campus (“HOPE Campus” or “Navigation Center”), serves as the cornerstone of the City’s long-term Packet Page. 610
strategy towards addressing homelessness. The HOPE Campus will offer interim housing, recuperative care, and comprehensive onsite services that will connect the City’s unsheltered population to a wide range of programs, social services, and housing.
In addition to the aforementioned,to fund the construction and operation of the Navigation Center, the Mayor and City Council have approved the following allocations:
• On December 7, 2022, the Mayor and City Council allocated $12,450,000 in ARPA funds for the construction of the Navigation Center and $4,500,000 in ARPA funds for the operation of the Navigation Center.
• On March 15, 2023, the Mayor and City Council approved an allocation of $4,299,671 of HOME-ARP funds to assist with the design and construction of the Navigation Center.
• On June 21, 2023, the Mayor and City Council adopted the FY 2023-24 Annual Action Plan, which included an allocation of $1,901,365 in CDBG funds for the Navigation Center.
• On July 19, 2023, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023- 097, amending the City’s 2020-2023 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program funding to provide $4,355,241 towards the operating and/or capital costs of the City’s Navigation Center.
• On October 4, 2023, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023- 144 for the Strategic Initiatives, approving an annual allocation of $2,000,000 for Homelessness Services Sustainability beginning FY 2026/27. • On November 1, 2023, the Mayor and City Council accepted $808,358.87 in Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) Round 3 grant funds from the County of San Bernardino for the Navigation Center.
The City continues to work collectively with local stakeholders and government agencies to streamline processes, leverage funding, and improve coordination and collaboration.
Discussion
Emergency shelter and housing is a critical component of working towards the resolution of the homeless crisis in San Bernardino, along with the wraparound social support services.
Defining Emergency Housing
Emergency housing is housing in a permanent or temporary structure(s), occupied during a declaration of a state of emergency, local emergency, or shelter crisis.
Currently, the Section 19.02.050 of the City’s Development Code defines “Emergency Packet Page. 611
Shelter” as follows:
“As used in Government Code Sections 65582, 65583 and 65589.5 (Senate Bill 2), and as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50801(e), “emergency shelter” means housing with minimal supportive services for homeless persons that is limited to occupancy of six months or less by a homeless person. No individual or household may be denied emergency shelter because of an inability to pay. Emergency shelters shall be occupied only by homeless persons unable to pay for housing. Facilities occupied by individuals who pay for their housing shall not be permitted as emergency shelters. Also referred to as “homeless shelter,” “homeless facility,” or “social service center with a residential component.’”
The City could consider adopting state-provided appendices related to emergency housing. Emergency housing may include, but is not limited to, buildings and structures constructed in accordance with the California Building Standards Code; emergency sleeping units, emergency transportable units and structures constructed in accordance with Appendix X of the California Residential Code. • Dependent units used for sleeping.
• Site provided communal sanitary facilities.
The Adoption of California Residential Code Appendix X and California Building Code Appendix O into Title 15 of the SBMC will provide construction standards for developing emergency housing facilities in approved locations and a standard for thirdparty projects impacting emergency housing/homelessness.
The Development Code currently allows Emergency Shelters as a “by-right” use at five pre-defined Emergency Shelter Overlay Zone areas in the City that fall within the CH – Commercial Heavy, IL – Industrial Light, and OIP – Office Industrial Park Zones, consistent with California Government Code Section 65589.5. Emergency Shelters in these areas are only required to obtain an Administrative Development Permit Type 1 and any necessary Building Permits. Chapter 19.10-E of the Development Code outlines the Development and Operational Standards for the Emergency Shelter Overlay Zone including but not limited to proximity to transit lines, maximum length of stay, parking requirements, and the preparation of security and management plans.
For other areas outside the Emergency Shelter Overlay Zone, the Development Code allows Emergency Shelters with the granting of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by the Planning Commission within the CR-2 - Commercial Regional-Downtown and CH – Commercial Heavy Zones. The Development Code does not currently allow for Emergency Shelters within any residential zones. However, “Homeless Facilities” and “Social Service Uses/Centers,” which may include overnight stays, are permitted with a CUP in some residential zones.
In an effort to provide greater flexibility and a streamlined approval process for Emergency Shelters, the City Council may consider amending the Development Code Packet Page. 612
to allow Emergency Shelters with a CUP in additional zones and consider applying the Emergency Shelter Overlay Zone to more properties as deemed appropriate. Possible Zones to consider allowing Emergency Shelters by right, with a CUP or by applying the Emergency Shelter Overlay Zone, could include the following:
Zoning District Requirement
(RH) Residential High Conditional Use Permit
(CO) Commercial Office Conditional Use Permit
(CG-1) Commercial General Conditional Use Permit
(IL) Industrial Light Permitted by-right
(PF) Public Facilities Permitted by-right
Once locations are identified, the City will create a map of allowable zones and will also need to do the following:
• Create an ordinance to update Standards applicable to emergency homeless shelters.
• Determine an alternate means of compliance concerning specific Fire Code requirements that must at least meet the minimum fire/life safety and building regulations identified by the City and San Bernardino County Fire Department (i.e., occupancy rate, structural requirements, ventilation, etc.). • Identify a plan/process for streamlining zoning regulations for privately-owned or operated shelters, including administrative approval of conditional use permits for shelters, allowing temporary shelters by-right on sites with an approved assembly use and streamlining approval of City-sponsored shelters on private property that may otherwise require zoning approvals.
Things the City Can Do by Declaring a Homelessness State of Emergency If the City Council adopts the Homelessness State of Emergency Declaration, the effective period of the Homelessness Crisis shall begin on February 1, 2023, and shall end on February 1, 2024, with the City Council having to review the declaration every 60 days.
If passed, the Homelessness State of Emergency Declaration would yield several consequences (see Gov. Code § 8630 et seq). First, the City Manager and/or Mayor and City Council can promulgate, issue, and enforce rules, regulations, orders and directives it considers necessary for the protection of life and property. Second, it would expand some of the City Manager’s powers, allowing him to enter into contracts, pursue grants and obtain emergency funding from state and federal entities to create additional shelters, add interim housing, and obtain emergency funding as it becomes available. Third, City workers would become designated disaster workers and may be used for such purposes.
Packet Page. 613
Should the Declaration pass, the City Manager could be directed to do any or all of the following:
• Prepare an ordinance adopting California Residential Code Appendix X and California Building Code Appendix O to serve as alternative local standards and procedures for the construction of homeless shelters if required, as well as their operation.
• Prepare an interim ordinance (if required) to streamline zoning regulations for privately-owned or operated shelters, including zoning administrator approval of conditional use permits for shelters, allowing small temporary shelters by right on sites with an approved assembly use, and streamlining approval of Citysponsored shelters on private property that may otherwise require zoning approvals.
• Help with the development of interim housing, tiny homes, and partnerships with landlords to rent apartments, access land for temporary or permanent housing structures, dispense funds, approve master leases and speed up permitting processes. Certain purchases would not have to go out to bid and would not require City Council approval.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Declaring a Homelessness State of Emergency will allow staff to identify opportunities to streamline zoning regulations and explore an administrative approval of Conditional Use Permits for Emergency Shelters and interim housing thereby allowing unhoused individuals to exit off the streets into a clean and safe environment where they can stabilize and get connected to resources and housing. This effort aligns with Key Strategic Goal No. 3, Improved Quality of Life
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to declaring a state of emergency. Declaring a State of Emergency will allow the City to set policies and prepare Municipal Code changes for City Council consideration to accelerate the development and operation of Emergency Shelters and interim housing.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-201, reaffirming the declaration of a Homelessness State of Emergency; and
2. Direct the City Manager or designee the ability to take certain administrative actions to streamline the provision of shelter to people experiencing homelessness, including the waiver of purchasing or bidding for physical shelter space.
