INTRODUCTION
ABOUT OUR CITY 4
The City of San Rafael Goals and Objectives FY 23-24 and FY 24-25 document outlines the City's strategic priorities and initiatives for the upcoming two fiscal years. The document is divided into four key policy focus areas: Economic Growth; Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging; Sustainability, Climate Change, & Disaster Preparedness; and Housing and Homelessness. Goals are further broken down into City Service Areas.
While each of these areas represents a distinct policy focus, they are interrelated and affect each other in significant ways, so although we have categorized them, some goals have the potential to fall into several areas. By recognizing the potential overlap between goals and policy areas, the City can develop more integrated and effective strategies to achieve our objectives. This approach helps to avoid siloed thinking and encourages collaboration across City departments and community stakeholders to achieve identified goals.
The City of San Rafael is committed to its work implementing environmentally sustainable practices, promoting affordable housing, supporting local businesses, improving public safety, livable neighborhoods, efficient and effective City services, transportation, recreational opportunities, responsive governance, and leadership, and ensuring equitable access to all City services.
The City of San Rafael provides a comprehensive range of municipal services in-house, making it a "full service" City. Since our services are primarily provided by people, 75% of our overall expenditures go towards City staff. Our employees perform a wide variety of tasks, including emergency response, community programming, streets and parks maintenance, safety inspections, and more.
The City's primary limitation is financial resources. Sales and property taxes are our biggest revenue source.
However, the bulk of these taxes are allocated to entities such as the State of California, the County of Marin, schools, and transit agencies. As a result, our goals and aspirations must be balanced against our financial responsibilities.
The City recognizes that these goals cannot be achieved in a vacuum. The City will continue to partner and engage with residents, business owners, community groups, and other stakeholders to ensure that its priorities reflect the needs and aspirations of the community. Partnering to achieve the best outcomes for our residents.

Overview
Background
Marin County’s oldest and largest City, San Rafael lies between San Francisco and California’s famous wine country. The City is in central Marin County and, while serving as the County seat, is the economic, financial, cultural, and service center of the region. With a history dating back almost 150 years, the public infrastructure includes miles of streets and sidewalks, numerous public buildings, acres of medians and open space, and many other assets.
The City has a tradition of prudent financial management, including maintaining public assets in good condition to minimize lifecycle costs. Residents and business owners greatly value the beauty of the community’s built and natural environment and have high expectations regarding the upkeep of public facilities. These factors have led the City to engage in active planning of capital improvements.
The City of San Rafael’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a comprehensive, multi-year planning tool used to guide the City’s decision-making process for construction, repair, and replacement of City assets such as roadways, storm drain systems, parks, City buildings, and public safety facilities. The CIP document summarizes projects, including their funding sources, and prioritizes projects after analysis and coordination with other City departments to ensure a comprehensive and equitable approach is achieved. In the City of San Rafael, a new CIP budget is developed every year outlining proposed improvements for the next three years. When the City’s annual budget is adopted, the CIP for that year is also adopted.
The CIP seeks to balance the need to repair and replace existing assets and to deliver new assets where they are most needed considering available resources. The CIP reflects a process to identify and prioritize community values utilizing the core principles of Together San Rafael.
Incorporated in 1874, San Rafael has an aging infrastructure and backlog of deferred maintenance of City-owned facilities and assets. With the development of the CIP each year, more projects are identified and requested than available resources can accomplish. To this end, staff developed a model to prioritize and select projects to move forward for consideration.
CIP Process and Project Selection
Projects identified in the CIP are primarily driven by staff evaluation or engineering studies, public comments, and reports such as the 2040 General Plan, 2018 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP), the Facility Assessment Study, and the 2021 Downtown Precise Plan. City staff also receive input from community members, the City Council, Department Directors, and commissions such as the Parks and Recreation Commission to identify and include new projects.
Project selection and priority is based on recommendations by a Rating Committee consisting of key staff from various City departments. When rating projects, the Committee considers health/safety/liability, priority initiatives, time sensitivity of funds involved, and the ability of a project to maintain or enhance functionality. These four criteria, which are weighted factors shown as percentages, are further defined as follows:
Capital Improvement Program FY 2023-24 to FY 2025-26 6 | Pag e
1. Health/Safety/Liability (35%) – Projects that are critical to public health and safety or significantly reduce the City’s risk of liability will receive a higher rating.
2. Priority Initiatives (20%) – This category assigns priority to projects based on the City’s goals, including projects that advance equity in the community, the guiding principles of Together San Rafael, the General Plan, and City Council/community supported projects.
3. Time Sensitive Funds (25%) – CIP projects funded by state or federal grants often have funding deadlines or project milestones. As such, grant-funded projects will be rated higher to accommodate timely-use-of-fund requirements from the granting agency.
4. Maintain/Enhance Functionality (20%) – This category rates projects according to the importance and urgency of the proposed repair, rehabilitation, or replacement. Proposed maintenance than can be deferred will be rated lower than a pressing maintenance item associated with a critical City asset.
Once the Rating Committee has prioritized projects, staff reviews available funding and allocates an order-of-magnitude budget for the highest ranked projects from each category. Staff also recommends retaining a contingency budget in each category as opposed to allocating all available funding to projects. This will ensure, that should unanticipated needs surface mid-year, staff have available funds to address this without impacting planned projects. Should contingency funds remain at the end of the fiscal year, they will be allocated to a project during the next fiscal year.
Section V of this document provides a table of the rating criteria above as well as a summary of the final ratings based on the Rating Committee’s ranking. The following flowchart outlines the process staff follow during the development of the CIP.

Capital Improvement Program FY 2023-24 to FY 2025-26 8 | Pag e Section II. Project Funding
Fund Types
Capital Improvement Program projects are paid for through a variety of different funds. Each fund type has its own source of revenue as well as restrictions governing its use. The table below summarizes the primary funding sources.
Fund
#
Fund Name Description
205 Stormwater
Fund
Established to fund stormwater maintenance, programs, and improvements throughout the City. Fund #205 receives annual revenues from the City’s Stormwater Activity fee (Municipal Code Chapter 9.40).
206 Gas Tax;
Measure AA;
Senate Bill 1
Funds
The Gas Tax is revenue collected and subsequently distributed by the State of California based on a percentage tax on each gallon of gas purchased in San Rafael. Gas Tax may be used for capital projects or maintenance on local streets, roads, traffic, and bicycle/pedestrian facilities. Additionally, local sales tax, passed by voters in 2018 as Measure AA (distributed by Transportation Authority of Marin), contributes to a portion of this fund for roadway improvement projects. This fund also includes revenue from the Refuse Regulatory Fee and Construction Impact Fee. 208 Childcare Fund Projects identified in the CIP as utilizing Childcare Funds are restricted to facility improvements at the City’s childcare centers. 235 Baypoint
Lagoon
Assessment
District
The Baypoint Lagoons Lighting and Landscape District was formed to protect and enhance wildlife habitat and water quality in Baypoint (Spinnaker) Lagoon and the adjacent diked salt marsh.
236 Loch Lomond
Assessment
District
The Loch Lomond (Melo-Roos) Assessment District was established in 1992 to pay for the repair and maintenance of the stormwater system infrastructure in the District.
240 Parkland
Dedication
This fund was established to account for long-term developer deposits used to acquire and increase capacity of the City’s park infrastructure.
241 Measure A Measure A is a nine-year ¼ percent retail transactions and use tax that was passed in 2012 and renewed in June 2022. This tax is managed by the County of Marin. The purpose of the tax is to care for existing parks and open spaces, support regional community parks, projects, and programs and to further farmland restoration.
The Department of Library and Recreation prepared the Measure A work plan for FY 23-24 based on the recommendations provided in the 2023 Citywide Parks and Recreation Master Plan and through consultant with the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Capital Improvement Program FY 2023-24 to FY 2025-26 9 | Page 246 Traffic
Mitigation Fee
Traffic Mitigation Fees are an impact fee charged to a developer in connection with the approval of a private land development project with the purpose of offsetting or subsidizing public improvements made necessary by the private development. The City utilizes Traffic Mitigation Fees for circulation-related projects identified in the 2040 General Plan.
Fund 246 is a subset of Fund 206 projects. Due to limited available funds in Fund 246, projects that are eligible for both Fund 246 and Fund 206 have been ranked together under Fund 206 until additional funding is collected for Fund 246.
420 Measure E Measure E was passed by San Rafael voters in November 2013 extending an existing 0.5% sales tax for 20 years and adding 0.25% (25 cents on a $100 purchase). In February 2014, the City Council directed staff to set aside the revenues from the added quarter percent to fund public safety facilities improvements.
501 Parking
Services
Projects identified in the CIP as utilizing Parking Services Funds are restricted to parking-related projects, including maintenance and upgrades at City parking garages and parking lots.
603 Building
Maintenance
The Building Maintenance Fund supports routine maintenance and capital projects associated with the City’s buildings, parks and other facilities. The Building Maintenance Fund is an internal revenue fund, which means General Fund monies are the sole source of revenue.
Grants
(various)
The City actively seeks grant funding for capital projects and programs. Grant funding is available from regional, state, and federal agencies for safety, transportation, emergency response, and other types of projects.
Fiscal Year 2023-24 Funding and Revenue Update
While some CIP projects are grant-funded, most are not and are paid for through Funds 205 (Stormwater), 206 (Gas Tax), 246 (Traffic Mitigation), and 603 (Building Maintenance). Within each of these fund types is an Operating Budget which consists of expenses related to maintenance of infrastructure, equipment purchasing, miscellaneous contractual services, Annual Programs, and other non-project related work. After deducting the Operating Budget from the total available funding in Funds 206, 246, and 603, staff allocated a 15-percent contingency of the remaining funds to provide a buffer for unanticipated expenses which may arise mid-year. Fund 205 does not include a contingency for FY 2023-24 as the estimated revenue for this fund may only be sufficient to cover the projected annual operating expenses.
In anticipation of the federal infrastructure funding distribution and several grant funding opportunities arising this next fiscal year, the City has set aside money in Fund 206 (Gas Tax) for priority projects in the funding tables. This money would be used for the city’s financial match for unsecured grants.
Capital Improvement Program FY 2023-24 to FY 2025-26 10 | Pag e Measure A Open Space Program was renewed by voters in June 2022; however, collection of revenue did not begin until October 1, 2022. The Measure A allocation for FY 2022-23 was lower than average, but the FY 2023-24 allocations are expected to return to historical levels.
Measure E has funded the improvements for several of City’s aging essential facilities, including the construction of the Public Safety building and remodel of Fire Station 54 and 55. The Facilities Subcommittee and City staff will reconvene in FY 2023-24 to discuss and allocate funding for future essential facilities projects.
Capital Improvement Program FY 2023-24 to FY 2025-26 11 | Page FY 2022-23 Grant Activities
Grants are a critical component of the City’s capital project funding. While some grant applications can be completed by a single staff member in a few days, others take months of cross-departmental coordination, extensive public outreach, and consulted expertise. Below is a list of the applications Public Works submitted during this past fiscal year:
Federal
Community Block Development Grant (CDBG) – CDBG is a program providing annual funding through the federal Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) on a formula basis to states, cities, and counties for development and improvement projects in low and moderateincome neighborhoods. Each year Public Works receives around $100,000 in CDBG funds to utilize towards capital improvement projects in regions of the City that meet the program’s income eligibility. Funds have historically been used for capital projects which specifically benefit the Canal neighborhood.
One Bay Area Grant 3 (OBAG 3) – OBAG 3 is the third round of federal transportation funding through the Federal Highway Administration. Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) manages the OBAG 3 program and distributes funding to projects and programs that improve safety, spur economic development, and help meet climate change and air quality improvement goals. City staff applied for this grant to improve the Second Street and Fourth Street intersection, make transportation enhancements in the Canal Neighborhood, and to conduct Priority Development Area (PDA) studies in North San Rafael within the Northgate area and Southeast San Rafael within the Canal Neighborhood. In January 2023, MTC approved programming of funds towards the Second and Fourth Street Intersection Improvements project and the North San Rafael/Northgate and Southeast San Rafael/Canal PDA studies, totaling to approximately $4.6 million in funding.
State
Land Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) – After not receiving the State Park Program Round 4 grant during fall 2021 and spending six months of cross-departmental coordination and eight public outreach events, Public Works and Library and Recreation staff used data and findings from this extensive work to apply for the LWCF application for the Pickleweed Park Enhancement Project early in 2022. LWCF is a matching assistance program that grants agencies 50% of the cost of acquisition and/or development of outdoor recreation sites or facilities. The grant focuses on park access, multi-use parks for all age groups, public health, safety, beautification, and preservation. This application seeks about 45% of approximately $9.2 million to convert the natural grass soccer fields to all-weather turf and install new recreation amenities. As of July 2022, California State Parks has recommended the Pickleweed Park Enhancement Project to the National Park Service for $4,240,000 in LWCF grant funding.
City anticipates hearing if the grant funding is approved by Summer/Fall 2023. California State Library State Funded Grant – The State Library fund is a targeted grant opportunity for the design of the San Rafael Downtown Carnegie Library Preservation, Capital Improvement Program FY 2023-24 to FY 2025-26 12 | Pag e Renovation, and Expansion. The original 1909 Carnegie Library and 1959 expansion need upgrades to meet current seismic, accessibility, and building code standards. In addition, the library will be expanded to account for a space for children's storytime, community programs, expanded collections, and public learning and discovery space for the benefit of the entire community. The city applied for this grant in the spring 2022 requesting $1 million for the Downtown Carnegie Library and $1 million for the Pickleweed Library. In October 2022, staff was informed that both grant applications were successful. Active Transportation Program (ATP) – ATP is a highly competitive statewide program created to increase and/or enhance biking and walking, user safety and mobility, public health, and reduce greenhouse emissions. In 2022 ATP released a request for projects that covered a four-year cycle, when past ATP cycles have been two years. The program also ensures that disadvantaged communities fully share in the benefits. In June 2022, staff applied for two ATP applications. After being unsuccessful for ATP in 2020, staff met with the granting agency to review the application for a pedestrian and bicycle bridge crossing the San Rafael Canal between Harbor Street and the Third Street/Embarcadero Way intersection. After this meeting the application was revised to request $1,575,000 to fund the Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED) phase. In addition, City staff applied for $4,000,000 for the Canal Active Transportation Experience Improvements project which includes street lighting, sidewalk gap closures, curb ramp improvements, bicycle boulevard treatments, and secure bicycle parking. Both the San Rafael Canal Crossing and Canal Neighborhood Active Transportation Enhancements projects were recommended by MTC staff for funding in the 2023 Regional ATP which allocates funds over the next five fiscal years.
Local
Clean California Local Grant Program (Clean CA) – The Clean CA program provides funding to local communities to beautify and improve local streets and roads, tribal lands, parks, pathways, and transit centers. In May 2023, staff applied for about $4 million to fund the improvements proposed as part of the Pickleweed Park Enhancements project. Caltrans will notify applicants of the funding award in September 2023. San Francisco Bay Trail Project – The Association of Bay Area Governments, having received funding from the State Coastal Conservancy, issued a call for applications for trail planning and construction projects that will complete gaps in the San Francisco Bay Trail. In April 2021, staff applied for $225,000 in funds to subsidize the installation of bicycle facilities on Grand Avenue between Second and Third Streets, a segment that constitutes the upper reaches of the designated Bay Trail. The Bay Trail Steering Committee approved this project in October 2021. The City entered into a Construction Grant Agreement with the Association of Bay Area Governments for this project in August 2022.
Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) Grant: The Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) is the local administrator of the TFCA funds. In April 2021, TAM put out a call for projects.
TFCA funds the implementation of ridesharing programs, purchasing clean fuel vehicles for transit operators, implementation and maintenance of local arterial traffic management, Capital Improvement Program FY 2023-24 to FY 2025-26 13 | Page congestion pricing, construction of bicycle facility improvement projects, and construction of projects that result in motor vehicle emission reductions. In April 2021, City staff applied for funding to extend the Grand Avenue cycle track north to Fourth Street and in Fall 2021, the City was notified they received $335,000. The City is in the process of executing a grant funding agreement with the Transportation Authority of Marin for this project.
Note Regarding “Unsecured Grant” in Funding Tables
The Project Funding Tables, found in Section VII of this document, illustrate which projects are planned to be completed with available funds within the next three fiscal years and include design/construction estimates for most projects. In some cases, a high-ranking project cannot be completed with available City funds thus necessitating that City staff secure additional funding thru grants. Many factors govern whether sufficient grant funding can be obtained such as project eligibility, required local City matching funds, timely-spending requirements, maximum available grant funding, overall project competitiveness, etc. The note “Unsecured Grant” is used when a project cannot be completed with available City funds and staff is either actively pursuing grant funding or is seeking applicable grant opportunities that may become available in the future.

Operating Budget
The Operating Budget for Fund 206 covers the costs of the City’s CIP Annual Programs including the Sidewalk Repair Program, Sidewalk Remove & Replacement, and Pavement Management Program.
Additionally, funds are also earmarked for the maintenance of local streets, traffic signals, miscellaneous contractual services, and partially cover the salaries of street maintenance staff.
As part of the Sidewalk Repair Program, the City shares a portion of the construction costs with property owners seeking to repair damaged sidewalks. The City also performs additional maintenance to repair sidewalks each year as part of the Sidewalk Remove & Replacement program.
These repairs ensure pedestrian safety as well as compliance with ADA requirements.
CIP Projects and 15% Contingency
Eligible CIP projects for the 206 Gas Tax Fund include a variety of projects within the public right-ofway such as street resurfacing/restriping, curb ramp installation, pedestrian and bicycle improvements, bridge repair, storm drain improvements, etc. Fifteen percent of the non-operating budget funding is reserved to account for any small, unanticipated expenses not identified in the CIP document.
Senate Bill 1: Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) Senate Bill 1 generates additional revenues that become part of the 206 Gas Tax Fund. These restricted funds are reserved for specific projects, and their use is audited at the end of every fiscal year. Project eligibility is the same as other 206 projects.
Capital Improvement Program FY 2023-24 to FY 2025-26 16 | Pag e Fund 246: Traffic Mitigation Fee
Fund 246 Total Available $1,575,000
Operating Budget $400,000
CIP Projects $1,005,000
CIP 15% Contingency $170,000
Total Available Funds
The 246 Traffic Mitigation Fund receives revenues from the Traffic Mitigation Fee charged to developers in connection with the approval of private land development projects. Designed as an impact fee, revenues aim to offset additional vehicular trips associated with a development by providing funding for high priority circulation improvements throughout the City identified in the General Plan. Since the fee is dependent on approved development, annual revenues vary widely from year to year and future revenues are largely unpredictable during the development of the CIP each Spring. Staff has estimated that $350,000 in annual revenues are anticipated in each of the upcoming three years.
Operating Budget

(a) Includes increase for Paramedic Tax Revenue Generated by Measure P (b) Includes increase for Paramedic Tax Revenue Generated by Measure I Note:
(c) Reduce the limit by $1,142,323 to reflect the amount associated with Measure P at the time the limit was increased in fiscal year 2011-2012 for Measure I
(d) 2015-16 - The Limit is reduced by $4,743,389 for the Paramedic Tax - Measure I for the increase of $3,890,000 added in 2011 - 2012 that "Sunset" or Expired after 4 years at the end of 2015.
County assessment roll factor for FY10/11 is an outlier. Recalculated using State per capita income factor for FY10/11 to ensure that the city falls below the Gann limit under each scenario for conservatism.
(e) 2020-21 - Appropriations subject to the limit declined due to both the reduction in budgeted revenues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the exclusion of debt service on the 2018 bonds beginning in FY21. $-

RE: June 5 Council Meeting FY23-25 Budget Consideration Dear Mayor Colin and Councilmembers:
The San Rafael Tree Group is a coalition of local community and environmental leaders who have been working with the Department of Public Works for the past two years to improve the City's Street Tree Ordinance and implement other urban forestry programs in General Plan 2040.
We continue to advocate for an additional objective under Goal B of the City's draft Goals & Objectives FY 2023-25:
• Develop a comprehensive Tree Master Plan and Tree Preservation Procedures implementing General Plan policies to protect, maintain, and expand San Rafael’s tree canopy.
We also recommend these underlined additions to clarify the tree-related objectives in Goals A and D:
Goal A: Neighborhood and Economic Vitality
"Prioritize the implementation of key General Plan 2040 programs, including neighborhood planning, economic vitality, tree inventory to guide other tree programs, and improving and preserving public assets."
Goal D: Public Assets
"Develop an inventory of City assets, including buildings, infrastructure, parks lighting, open space and trees, and develop a strategic plan for asset management to identify and quantify unfunded liabilities and deferred maintenance costs. The inventory of trees shall be sufficiently detailed to guide other General Plan 2040 tree programs."
Our goal is to assist the City in implementing General Plan policies and programs on tree management in a timely and comprehensive manner, which we also believe is the most cost-effective manner. We seek your commitment to proceed seamlessly from 1) a tree inventory that provides the necessary data for 2) the tree ordinance, 3) tree preservation, and 4) a tree master plan to guide implementation of 5) the remaining General Plan tree programs.
As always, our group remains ready to assist. Thank you.
Yours truly,
Amy Likover, Convener

RE: Regular Meeting of the City Council on June 5, 2023, agenda item for FY23-25 Goals and Objectives and Performance Metrics
Mayor Kate and City Council members:
1) Street Tree Inventory
The City has decided to develop an inventory of all assets, including the General Plan Program CDP-3.5B Street Tree Inventory, included in Goal A and D. The Street Tree Inventory should include all trees considered to be public assets, including trees located in our parks or publicly owned properties, medians, sidewalks and public right-of-ways.
We understand the reason for obtaining additional data is to determine where our public trees are located, including the size and species of the trees, and the condition of the trees, in order to care for and maintain these assets. General Plan 2040 contains policies for tree management, including tree preservation, removal and replacement. This goal should include the intention to manage our tree assets by advancing our tree management policies previously adopted in the General Plan, with the following suggested wording modifications:
GOAL A: NEIGHBORHOOD AND ECONOMIC VITALITY
• Prioritize the implementation of key General Plan 2040 programs to improve and preserve public assets, including neighborhood planning, economic vitality, and developing a tree inventory to guide and advance tree preservation, removal and replacement polices. and improving and preserving public assets.
GOAL D: PUBLIC ASSETS
• Develop an inventory of City assets, including buildings, infrastructure, parks lighting, open space and trees, and develop a strategic plan for asset management to identify and quantify unfunded liabilities and deferred maintenance costs. Data collected from the tree inventory can guide and advance tree management policies described in General Plan 2040 regarding the preservation, removal, and replacement of trees.
2) Current process to remove Trees located in the Public right-of-way To remove a tree located in the public right-of-way, San Rafael only requires an encroachment permit, which is the same permit required to repair or replace a driveway, sidewalk or sewer lateral. The encroachment permit does not require a description of the tree(s) being removed nor does it require an arborist’s review or any other criteria to remove the tree. However, for property owners wanting to remove and replace a tree located in the public right-of-way as part of the sidewalk repair program, an arborist reviews the application and makes a determination.
All trees within the public right-of-way are public assets and need to be preserved and protected equally.
We are suggesting the City adopt the same level of review for removal of all trees in the public right-ofway whether they are part of the sidewalk repair program or not. A case in point, the Valvoline business located at 1524 Second St paid $246 for an encroachment permit to remove several mature Redwood trees located in the public right-of-way. Without any review by an arborist, the trees were removed, and the business then applied for the sidewalk repair program.
We suggest adding the following wording to:
GOAL D: PUBLIC ASSETS
• Require arborist review for the removal of all trees located in the public right-of-way.
Thank you for your consideration of our comments.
Sincerely,
Victoria DeWitt

Agenda Item No: 6.b
Meeting Date: June 5, 2023
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: Police Department
Prepared by: D.C. Spiller, Police Chief City Manager Approval: ______ TOPIC: POLICE ADVISORY AND ACCOUNTABILTY COMMITTEE
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
POLICE ADVISORY AND ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution establishing the City of San Rafael Police Advisory and Accountability Committee (PAAC) and direct staff to facilitate a city-wide call for applications.
BACKGROUND:
Over the past year, Mayor Kate Colin, Councilmember Llorens Gulati, and Police Chief Dave Spiller, along with other leadership representatives from the City of San Rafael, hosted numerous community meetings seeking feedback from residents about policing in San Rafael.
Five major themes emerged from what the community shared, creating opportunities for the city and the police department to address the community’s concerns. The five key themes of feedback include:
1. Improve the feeling of safety and security.
2. Increase cultural competencies, empathy, and customer service skills.
3. Build trust and improve relationships with the community.
4. Increase diversity of the police department workforce.
5. Improve transparency, communication, and accountability.
The fifth item listed, specifically as it relates to transparency and accountability, is an area where the city is seeking to create a committee composed of community members to work in collaboration with the police department to improve upon all of the five key themes listed above.
Major themes from community conversations and what city leadership heard from the community can found at the “Policing in San Rafael” website:
https://www.cityofsanrafael.org/policinginsanrafael/ .
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
The primary goals of the PAAC would be to cultivate trust between the police and community, improve transparency and accountability of the San Rafael Police Department (SRPD), and build relationships with the community that will serve to improve policing in San Rafael. Additionally, the PAAC would provide greater community participation as their meetings will be open to the public and they would be making recommendations on police department policies, practices, and procedures.
The PAAC would serve as an advisory committee to the City Council. The PAAC would be comprised of seven members. Selection for membership would be made following a community-wide call for application to participate on the committee. Committee members would be selected based on interviews conducted by the full City Council. Committee members must be City of San Rafael residents at least 18 years old (with the exception of one designated seat for a youth/young adult member between ages of 17-26), who have pledged to be impartial, unbiased and objective. With the intent to ensure the PAAC can serve in perpetuity, the Police Chief and the City Manager would not have the authority to disband or substantively modify the structure of the committee absent a formal resolution or action of the City Council.
The membership of the PAAC should be inclusive and reflective of community members of diverse backgrounds including but not limited to race, ethnicity, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, economic status, and various communities of interest. Community members with lived experiences with law enforcement interactions (specifically the SRPD) would be strongly encouraged to apply. The city would conduct extensive outreach efforts to the community at large, community-based organizations, and civil rights organizations, among others to solicit applications from a wide array of candidates.
Applicants would not be required to have any specialty knowledge or particular skills to be eligible to participate.
Staff recommends that there be a co-creation process with the PAAC members to establish the specific work plan and objectives for the committee. Broadly speaking, the advisory role of the committee would be to:
• Act as a sounding board for the City Council, the City Manager, and the Police Department regarding community needs and concerns, as well as provide community feedback to proposed police programs and priorities. • Make recommendations to the City Council regarding police policy, procedures, and best practices, including those related to community relations, hiring, and training best practices.
• Provide a report (at least annually) to the full City Council regarding the activities of the committee and the SRPD’s efforts to strengthen community-police relations and the progress made toward improving upon the five key themes of community feedback.
In addition to the advisory role, an important element of the PAAC would be to engage and participate in training to support their success. Potential training may include topics such as public meeting laws, cultural competency, implicit/explicit bias, police department SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
operations and policies, police ride-a-longs, etc. Once the committee is formed, staff will work with the PAAC to determine the specific training curriculum.
Next Steps
If establishing the PAAC is approved by the City Council, staff will facilitate a city-wide call for applications beginning no later than July 1st. Staff will conduct extensive community outreach to educate the community about this opportunity and to encourage a diverse pool of candidates to apply. The applicants would be interviewed by the City Council this September, and the inaugural session of the newly formed PAAC would be in the Fall of 2023.
The PAAC would adhere to the established procedures commensurate with the City of San Rafael Boards, Commissions and Committees Rules and Procedures which was adopted by the City Council by formal resolution in March of 2023 (Resolution 15196 https://www.cityofsanrafael.org/documents/board-commission-committee-rulesprocedures/ ).
The city wishes to work collaboratively with the community as we continue developing the specific scope of work for this committee. Staff are planning more community engagement efforts to seek input regarding the creation of the PAAC’s bylaws, which will be brought to the City Council for approval at a future date. The bylaws include specific details regarding the PAAC’s responsibilities and its meeting frequencies.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH:
In the Fall of 2022 and early 2023, the city held community meetings of approximately 200 participants, and the diversity of meeting participants represents multiple perspectives across San Rafael. Two of those meetings were held in Spanish (with English interpretation), where residents met in small groups with a community facilitator, to create a safe space for residents to share their experiences and have their voices heard. Following the small groups, the community facilitators shared back the feedback directly to the Police Chief and city leadership. The city met with community groups, high school students, racial justice activists, local non-profits, and residents to hear their concerns and seek input.
FISCAL IMPACT:
All costs for supporting the PAAC, including staff time, will be absorbed by the existing General Fund budget. Staff resources including an assigned Staff Liaison from the Police Department, as well as administrative support to manage meeting minutes and agenda postings will be assigned to current employees. Any potential consultant support necessary to support and facilitate the work of the PAAC will be funded from the proposed FY 2023-24 General Fund Budget.
OPTIONS:
1. Adopt a resolution establishing the Police Advisory and Accountability Committee (PAAC) and direct staff to facilitate a city-wide call for applications.
2. Do not adopt the resolution and provide staff with alternate direction.
