REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Amendments to Agreements with DKS, Kimley-Horn, and W-Trans for Traffic Engineering Support
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works (DPW) Traffic Division performs various services for the City, including multimodal transportation planning, reviewing development proposals and traffic impact analyses, approving construction traffic control plans, investigating public requests, operating and monitoring traffic signals, applying for and administering transportation grants, and implementing transportation capital projects. Based on available staffing resources and to keep up with the workload, it is necessary to use consultants to assist with these services.
Funding of $250,000 was included in the Adopted Biennial Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget for FY 2020/21 and FY 2021/22 for a transportation project titled, Traffic Engineering Consultant Support (Project No. 1256). Of this amount, $100 was carried over to FY 2022/23. This project provides funding for consultants to assist DPW staff in performing the services described above.
On July 13, 2021, the Council authorized agreements with DKS Associates, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., and Whitelock & Weinberger Transportation, Inc. dba W-Trans for traffic engineering consulting support (Attachments 1, 2, and 3). Each agreement was for a not-to-exceed amount of $83,300 with the cumulative compensation of all three agreements not to exceed $249,900. The terms of the agreement also included extension options over the next two years based on future budgets.
DISCUSSION
Since July 2021, the three firms have successfully completed various tasks to assist staff. These tasks include:
· Analyses of 25 requests from the public regarding traffic calming, stop signs, and intersection visibility
· Preparing an Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant application · Preparing design plans for bicycle lane enhancements
· Processing and entering speed limit study data for 50 locations City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 4 Printed on 12/2/2022
powered by Legistar™
22-1206 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
· Reviewing traffic impact analyses for Kylli-Mission Point, 2901 Tasman, and other developments
· Calculating and implementing updated traffic signal timing parameters for 156 locations · Reviewing 20 encroachment permits
DKS Associates, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., and W-Trans have been delivering quality services to the City and staff is recommending that they continue providing traffic engineering support. The initial $249,900 in the agreements from FY 2020/21 and FY 2021/22 is almost expended and amendments are necessary to add additional funding from the FY 2022/23 and FY 2022/24 Adopted Biennial CIP budget. Staff is requesting approval of the proposed amendments (Attachments 4, 5, and 6) to add funding in the amount of $66,700 to each agreement to allocate additional funding in the amount of $200,100. The proposed amendments will result in an amended not-to-exceed amount of $450,000 ($150,000 for each agreement) and the consultants work will be performed on a time and materials basis. The revised term for each agreement will end on July 1, 2024.

Staff requests approval for City Manager authority to shift funding between the agreements to provide flexibility as on-going needs are matched to the consultant best suited for the scope of work and schedule. Staff also requests City Manager authority to approve time extensions up to July 1, 2026 for each agreement and increase aggregate agreement amounts up to a maximum compensation of $650,000, subject to the appropriation of funds, to account for future budgets related to traffic engineering support needs such as transportation grants, reviewing development proposals and traffic impact analyses, approving construction traffic control plans, and investigating public requests.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 4 Printed on 12/2/2022
powered by Legistar™
22-1206 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed amendments for traffic engineering consultant support services total $200,100. In the FY 2022/23 and FY 2022/24 Adopted Biennial CIP budget, the Traffic Engineering Consultant Support (1256) project in the Streets and Highways Capital Fund includes funding of $100,100 in FY 2022/23 and $100,000 in FY 2023/24 for a total of $200,100. Since traffic engineering services are ongoing, services will be required for future traffic engineering consultant support needs such as transportation grants, reviewing development proposals and traffic impact analyses, approving construction traffic control plans, and investigating public requests. As a result, additional budget needs may be identified and incorporated into future budget requests. Funding for the agreements beyond the current Adopted Biennial CIP Budget is subject to the appropriation of funds.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and the City Attorney’s Office.

Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers.

REPORT TO HOUSING AUTHORITY
SUBJECT
Action on Amendment No. 5 to the Exclusive Negotiation Agreement and Amendment No. 3 for the Amended and Restated License Agreement with Habitat for Humanity East Bay / Silicon Valley for 3575 De La Cruz Boulevard
COUNCIL PILLAR
Promote and Enhance Economic, Housing and Transportation Development
BACKGROUND
The City selected Habitat for Humanity East Bay / Silicon Valley (Developer) in 2018 through a competitive process as the developer for a City-owned affordable housing site at 3575 De La Cruz Boulevard. On April 9, 2019, the City Council approved an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) with the Developer for the site. (Attachment 1)
The proposed project is the construction of 15 new units (previously 13 units) of affordable homeownership housing at the site, available to a diverse range of mixed income families earning between 50 percent (previously 60 percent) and 120 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). The units would be developed as a mix of townhomes and flats, using a cohesive design that maximizes cost efficiencies while providing homes that are attractive, energy efficient, and durable. The conceptual site plan is intended to maximize the number of affordable homes while strategically addressing various site constraints, including positioning the new homes to minimally impact the adjacent property owners and provide a transition to the industrial park to the south.
The ENA provided an initial negotiating period of 18 months, commencing on the date the Agreement was fully executed, which could be extended for two additional periods of six months each by the City Manager upon presentation of a written request from the Developer together with a schedule of tasks to be accomplished during the additional period. Both six-month extensions have been authorized by the City Manager with the first authorized. As allowed under the ENA, the City Manager previously granted two six-month extensions for the ENA (Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2) on December 14, 2020 and the second on July 12, 2021, respectively. (Attachments 2 and 3) Since that time, two additional extensions were signed extending the ENA until December 30, 2022. (Attachments 4 and 5)
Site Description
The Property is currently a vacant 0.7-acre site. The site was previously developed with a City Fire Station, which was demolished in 2010. An 80-foot PG&E easement containing transmission lines supported on top of 100-foot tall PG&E lattice towers is located along the Property’s eastern edge.
Surrounding land uses include light industrial buildings to the south, single-family residences to the east and north, and Montague Park to the west on the opposite side of De La Cruz Boulevard.

22-1364 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
Golden State Baptist College is located to the southwest of the project site, also fronting on De La Cruz Boulevard adjacent to Montague Park.
Request for Proposals (RFP)
Prior to the issuance of an RFP, the City conducted preliminary outreach for the future development of the property as an affordable housing site. Input from the outreach was incorporated into the RFP.
The City then issued an RFP on June 13, 2018 and selected the Developer in October 2018 as the result of the RFP process. The interview panel made a unanimous decision to select Habitat for Humanity East Bay / Silicon Valley determining that their proposal fully addressed the RFP goals.
DISCUSSION
Habitat for Humanity is requesting a Fifth Amendment to their ENA with the City to grant an extension for six months. This will allow the Developer additional time to prepare a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) for Council consideration in 2023. The request also includes an update to the City’s license agreement with Habitat for Humanity. The license agreement provides temporary right of access and sets terms around access to the property for activities related to due diligence such as conducting property surveys, geotechnical, environmental and utility studies. The license agreement must also be amended to allow access through the proposed extension to the ENA period.
In recent months, the project has made significant progress, including a project redesign to increase the number of ownership units from 13 to 15, and to add very low income units into the project, while also working towards a commitment for County Measure A funding, advancing the environmental review process, and preparing for public hearings for entitlements in early 2023. Staff is anticipating Planning Commission review in early 2023. Full entitlements and a DDA are tentatively scheduled for Council consideration in spring 2023.
Implementation of the Developer’s proposal for 3575 De La Cruz Boulevard would achieve the City’s objective for the development of a mix of affordable housing project types throughout the City, providing a relatively unique-small scale, family-oriented development. As proposed, the project achieves many of the goals and objectives of the City’s RFP for the property, including alignment with community interest in terms of the development program and City standards for financing and affordability. The Developer was also selected based on their well-established history in the production of affordable housing.
While the Developer has experienced some setbacks, they have also made steady progress toward the development of the site. The following represents a synopsis of the activities performed by the Developer in recent months:
May - October 2022:
· Revised proforma to accommodate Measure A funding guidelines resulting in more units and deeper affordability than previously planned for · Refined plans and submitted initial plan for review
· Responded to comments provided by the City
· Hired CEQA consultant and commenced work on the CEQA statutory exemption City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 3 Printed on 12/2/2022

22-1364 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
Conclusion
Staff is recommending the City Council approve Amendment No. 5 to the ENA and Amendment No. 3 to the Amended and Restated license agreement with Habitat for Humanity East Bay / Silicon Valley to allow more time to complete due diligence, the Planning Commission public hearing, and to bring forward a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) to Council for consideration within the next six months. (Attachments 6 and 7)
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no cost to the City for this agreement other than administrative time and expense. As noted above, implementation of the proposed project would generate ongoing revenue to the City’s Affordable Housing Fund through repayments of loans.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Department of Finance and the City Attorney’s Office.
PUBLIC CONTACT
The project will continue to engage the public during the ENA term. Staff will continue to work closely with community members and other interested stakeholders throughout the process.
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No.5 to the Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) and the Amendment No. 3 to the Amended and Restated license agreement with Habitat for Humanity East Bay / Silicon Valley for the development 3575 De La Cruz Boulevard.

The Developer shall reasonably approve or disapprove the Consultant Costs within seven (7) days following the City's submittal of the anticipated Consultant Costs.

The Developer shall deposit with the City the amount of the additional Consultant Costs as approved by the Developer within fou1ieen (14) days of such approval. The additional amount shall be added to the Deposit. The City shall be reimbursed for all additional Consultant Costs approved by the Developer and incmred by the City prior to the date of the termination of this Agreement.
To the extent this Agreement is terminated prior to or as of the end of the Negotiating Period and the City has incurred Consultant Costs that are less than the Deposit, and Developer has negotiated in good faith and is not in breach of this Agreement, the City shall return the unexpended balance of the Deposit to the Developer along with an accounting of the Consultant Costs incurred by the City.
If this Agreement is te1minated by the City due to a failure by the Developer to negotiate in good faith under this Agreement the Deposit and any interest earned thereon shall be retained by the City, as more fully provided in Section 10. Conversely, if this Agreement is terminated by the Developer due solely to a City default, the Deposit and any interest earned thereon shall be returned to the Developer.

22-171 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on a Resolution Authorizing the Use of City Electric Forces for New Dark Fiber Installations at Various Locations
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
Charter Section 1310 titled Contracts on Public Works states, in part, “that every contract involving an expenditure of more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) for the construction or improvement (excluding maintenance and repair) of public buildings, works, streets, drains, sewers, utilities, parks and playgrounds shall be let to the lowest responsible bidder.” The section further states that “the City Council may declare and determine that, in its opinion, the work in question may be performed better or more economically by the City with its own employees, and after the adoption of a resolution to this effect by at least four affirmative votes, it may proceed to have said work done in the manner stated, without further observance of the provisions of this section.” In 2014, the Electric Department developed a position called Fiber Splicing Technician as an inhouse position to primarily perform maintenance and repairs to meet the fiber performance standards of then existing fiber customers that includes both City departments as well as commercial lease customers. Fiber Splicing Technician activities include basic splicing and distribution changes to fiber optic cables. The technician can also perform duties such as pulling, laying, aligning and positioning fiber optic equipment to prepare for a new connection to the fiber network. Fiber Splicing Technicians perform fusion splicing at building entrances and in maintenance space. At this time, SVP employs two Fiber Splicing Technicians.
DISCUSSION
Currently, the SVP Fiber Enterprise serves SVP, other City department functions, and various commercial lease customers. As the work is specialized, the position of Fiber Splicer Technician performs a variety of activities from maintenance and repair to new or re-spliced interconnections to the SVP Fiber Enterprise. Each interconnection can be unique involving different hours of labor depending on the number of fibers required to be spliced and the particular location within the network. Technician time is tracked hourly and not on a per fiber basis.
Large or extensive projects involving extending fiber cable being laid along new paths or great distances or adding conduit or related infrastructure are done using a previously bid unit price Public Works contract with a private construction contractor. SVP spends up to $1 million per year on this public works contract for new Fiber network construction and certain maintenance and repair City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 4 Printed on 12/2/2022

activities.
Staff believes that the Fiber Splicer Technician work that may be required in new construction projects is best and most efficiently performed with City forces based upon the following factors: (1) the work is limited in size and scope; (2) City forces have knowledge and training in operating and maintaining and repairing the fiber optic system that can be leveraged to more economically perform this work; and (3) bidding out the work and contracting with a private entity would not likely result in a lower overall cost or time savings. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council make a finding that City forces can better perform the Fiber Splicing and related equipment installation, splicing and connections to the existing SVP Fiber infrastructure and approve the use of City forces.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Staff recommends that the City Council determine that the actions being considered are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines (Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations) sections (1) 15302(c) (Class 2 - Replacement or Reconstruction) as the proposed work involves the replacement or reconstruction of existing utility systems and/or facilities involving negligible expansion of capacity, and (2) 15303 (Class 3 - New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), because the proposed work involves the construction of a limited number of small fiber utility facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT
The funds to support the staff time for work performed by SVP and related construction materials for the work detailed in this report, totaling $15,820, are included in the Fiscal Year 2022/23 Capital Budget, Fiber Development, Design, and Expansion project in the Electric Utility Capital Fund. All referenced work will be performed with City Electric Forces (SVP staff). Some work associated with encroachment permits may be performed by the Department of Public Works (DPW). DPW costs are recovered through payment of permit fees.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and City Attorney’s Office.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected] or at the public information desk at any City of Santa Clara public library.
RECOMMENDATION
Determine the proposed actions are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Sections 15302 (c) and 15303 of the California Code of Regulations and adopt a Resolution authorizing the use of City Electric Forces for work detailed in this report located at 2972 Stender Way to 2300 Owen Street, 2972 Stender Way to 2360 Owen Street, 1201 Comstock Street to 2897 Northwestern Parkway, 1201 Comstock Street to 2820 Northwestern Parkway, and 1101 Space Park Drive to 1201 Comstock Street.

REPORT TO COUNCIL AND STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Action on a Resolution Delegating Authority to the City Manager to Execute Documents Associated with the State of California Local Assistance Specified Grant for the Central Park Arbor Playground (Magical Bridge All Inclusive Playground) and Related Budget Amendments
COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Sports, Recreational and Arts Assets
BACKGROUND
The Central Park Arbor Center Playground is a small, 1960’s era, metal, wood and natural stone play space that was identified in the 2017 Parks & Recreation Facility Condition Assessment as in “critical” condition and in need of replacement as well as being identified in the Central Park Master Plan as the location for an expanded, all ages and abilities community serving playground. On January 12, 2021, after extensive community outreach and recommendation from the Parks & Recreation Commission, Council approved the preferred schematic design (Project) and Ordinance No. 2028 (Measure R compliance).
The Project is to be funded through Capital Improvement Program funds from a variety of sources:
City in the amount of $1.8 million from Developer Contributions and Mitigation Fee Act in Lieu fees, County of Santa Clara All Inclusive Playground Grant funds in the amount of $1.765 million, and funds to be raised by the Magical Bridge Foundation through individual, community and corporate support. Given construction cost escalation and continued desire to fund a complete playground experience, the City sought and secured additional grant funding. In June 2022, the City was awarded State funds requested by California Assembly Member Alex Lee. In particular, the focus of the State Grant funds was to support the Project’s Scope of Work C "Additional/Alternate Playground Elements” inclusion of the hilltop area improvements, laser harp, sway boat, renovation of the amphitheater, “Look Out” balcony, and adult fitness stations.
DISCUSSION
The AB-179 Budget Act of 2022, section 19.56, B, 16, C awards $800,000 to the City of Santa Clara for the Magical Bridge All-Inclusive Playground in Central Park in the form of a Specified Grant. The State of California Grant program requires City adoption of a Resolution (Attachment 1) in order to submit a project application and to receive funds. Grant funds are to be used towards the playground items specified in Scope C as explained above. The Resolution confirms that the City has the funding to complete, operate and maintain the Project as noted below in the Fiscal Impact section of this report, and, if approved, will authorize the City Manager to administer the Grant.

does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Central Park Arbor Playground Project in the Parks and Recreation Capital Fund has a current, remaining budget of $3,720,500. Current park maintenance activities are included in the City’s Parks & Recreation annual Operating Budget.
The State Grant appropriates new funding in the amount of $800,000 to increase the current project budget from $3,720,500 to $4,520,500. Any construction funding gaps will be requested from unallocated Park In-Lieu Fees at award of construction Bid, expected in early 2023.

4 I. Introduction
This specified grant originated from a line item in the State of California Budget for fiscal year 2022-23. A resolution is required before a CONTRACT will be issued, and an approved APPLICATION PACKET is required before GRANT payments can be approved. The GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD is July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2026.
1. Costs incurred before or after the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD are not eligible for reimbursement.
2. Costs incurred after the APPROPRIATION DATE but before OGALS approves the APPLICATION PACKET are eligible if they are consistent with the GRANT SCOPE approved by OGALS and are ELIGIBLE COSTS.
II. Grant Process
Grant Process Key Dates
• Grant Performance Period: July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2026 • Resolution: Submit by December 31, 2023
• Contract: Sign and return by January 31, 2024
• Projects Complete by December 31, 2025
• Project Completion Packets: Submit by: January 31, 2026 Grant Process Detail
1. Resolution: APPLICANT sends resolution to OGALS by December 31, 2023, to allow approval within the CONTRACT ENCUMBRANCE PERIOD, which ends June 30, 2024.
2. CONTRACT: OGALS sends CONTRACT to APPLICANT. APPLICANT becomes GRANTEE when CONTRACT is fully executed during CONTRACT ENCUMBRANCE PERIOD. a. The CONTRACT section includes a sample contract and the contract provisions.
b. The APPLICANT must return the CONTRACT signed by the AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE to OGALS no later than January 31, 2024. The APPLICANT becomes a GRANTEE when the CONTRACT is signed by OGALS. c. OGALS returns a copy of the fully executed CONTRACT to the GRANTEE.
3. APPLICATION PACKET(s): The GRANTEE defines the SCOPE(s) and amount of grant funds needed for each PROJECT. As PROJECTS are identified, the GRANTEE submits individual APPLICATION PACKET(s) to OGALS. OGALS reviews each APPLICATION PACKET and sends a letter of approval to the GRANTEE or requests additional information.
After each PROJECT is approved by OGALS, OGALS will send a Status Report to the GRANTEE approximately every six months until OGALS receives a PROJECT COMPLETION PACKET. The GRANTEE must return the Status Report within thirty 5 (30) days from receipt. Payment requests will not be processed if Status Reports are overdue.
4. Payments and end of GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD: GRANTEE requests payments for ELIGIBLE COSTS. OGALS recommends that GRANTEE provide all PROJECT COMPLETION PACKET(S) no later than January 31, 2026. The grant payments section provides payment request instructions and forms. a. The GRANTEE may request payments after each PROJECT is approved by OGALS. GRANT funds may only be expended on ELIGIBLE COSTS incurred within the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD.
b. The GRANTEE completes PROJECT SCOPE(s) and sends PROJECT COMPLETION PACKET(s) to OGALS no later than January 31, 2026.
c. The State of California receives a high volume of payment requests at the end of the fiscal year. If the PROJECT COMPLETION PACKET is received after January 31, 2026, OGALS cannot guarantee final payment by the State Controller’s Office. If the State Controller’s Office is unable to process the payment before the end of the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD, the unpaid balance of grant funds will revert to the Legislature.
d. OGALS processes the final payment request after each PROJECT is complete as documented by the GRANTEE in the PROJECT COMPLETION PACKET, and as verified by OGALS when conducting a site inspection.
5. Accounting and Audit: DPR’s Audits Office may conduct an audit. The GRANTEE is required to retain all PROJECT records for five years following receipt of the final GRANT payment. The Accounting and Audit Section provides directions and an Audit Checklist for DPR audit and accounting requirements. 6 Authorizing Resolution
GRANTEE passes one resolution approving the filing of all applications associated with the CONTRACT and forwards a copy to OGALS.
The Authorizing Resolution on the following page may be reformatted; however, the language provided in the resolution must remain unchanged.
The Authorizing Resolution serves two purposes:
1. It is how the GRANTEE’S Governing Body agrees to the terms of the CONTRACT; it provides confirmation that the GRANTEE has the funding to complete, operate and maintain PROJECTS associated with the CONTRACT.
2. It designates a position title to represent the Governing Body on all matters regarding PROJECTS associated with the CONTRACT. The incumbent in this position is referred to as the AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE.
The AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE can delegate signatory authority to other individuals (by position title) either in entirety or for particular documents. The delegation process requires the AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE to submit a letter (on letterhead) or email to OGALS delegating authority.

10 Additional Non-Profit Requirements
Fidelity Bond (For Non-profit grantees only)
Non-profit GRANTEES must provide a copy of a current Fidelity Bond policy to their PROJECT OFFICERS before OGALS will approve any payment requests. The premium for a Fidelity Bond is an eligible cost.
A Fidelity Bond provides insurance covering fraudulent acts of GRANTEES’ employees, volunteers, officers, and directors. The GRANTEE is the insured party. DPR must be named as a Third-Party Loss Payee. OGALS address is State of California, Dept. of Parks and Recreation, P.O. Box 942896, Floor 13, Sacramento, CA 94296-0001, Attn:
Office of Grants and Local Services.
Coverage must be at least equal to the GRANT amount. Fidelity Bond insurance must be kept current for at least six months after the date of the final GRANT payment.
GRANTEES may obtain the Fidelity Bond through a general liability carrier, a major casualty insurance carrier, or a bonds specialty company. There are Fidelity Bond frequently asked questions available on the OGALS web site.
Competitive Solicitation Process (For non-profit grantees only)
1. Non-profit GRANTEE must attempt to obtain three bids for services greater than $5,000 and for construction work greater than $25,000.
2. To ensure bidders understand the required PROJECT elements, the non-profit GRANTEE provides each bidder (potential contractor) the same written invitation for bid describing the PROJECT work to be performed based on “Best Value” factors, and the required PROJECT elements based on the Project Scope/Cost Estimate Form, and concept level site plan.
3. Solicit bids by contacting at least three potential contractors or by invitation for bids advertising, or a combination of both methods.
The non-profit GRANTEE’s Board of Directors evaluates the bids to determine which contractor will provide the “best value” and will meet PROJECT requirements. “Best value” should be determined by price, quality of materials, equipment, and workmanship. The evaluation process must ensure no conflict of interest between the contractor and the non-profit GRANTEE’s Board of Directors. The non-profit GRANTEE’s Board of Directors need not necessarily accept the lowest bid, but a reasonable justification for the decision should be recorded in writing.
4. The Board of Directors selects a contractor and awards a contract.
5. For audit purposes, the GRANTEE keeps records of Steps 1 – 4 above.
Competitive Solicitation Requirement
The non-profit GRANTEE may request a waiver of the competitive solicitation process requirement. To request a waiver, the GRANTEE must send a written request to the PROJECT OFFICER assigned to the GRANT PROJECT and explain why a waiver is required. 11 State of California – The Resources Agency

26 III. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
On March 4, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-6-22 (the EO) regarding Economic Sanctions against Russia and Russian entities and individuals. “Economic Sanctions” refers to sanctions imposed by the U.S. government in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine, as well as any sanctions imposed under state law. The EO directs state agencies to terminate contracts with, and to refrain from entering any new contracts with, individuals or entities that are determined to be a target of Economic Sanctions. This Executive order extends to recipients of any State Grants (Grantee). Grantees include those who have contracted or will contract to receive State grants funds. Accordingly, should the State determine that a Grantee is a target of Economic Sanctions or is conducting prohibited transactions with sanctioned individuals or entities, that shall be grounds for termination of this agreement. The State shall provide the Grantee advance written notice of such termination, allowing the Grantee at least 30 calendar days to provide a written response. Termination of any contract found to be in violation of this Executive Order shall be at the sole discretion of the State. _____________________________________

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on a Resolution Ordering the Vacation of the Public Utility Easements, Storm Drain Easement, Wire Clearance Easement, and Water Line Easement at 2780 El Camino Real
COUNCIL PILLAR
Promote and Enhance Economic, Housing, and Transportation Development
BACKGROUND
On May 22, 2018, City Council (Agenda Item 11) approved the General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map for the Moonlite Lanes Townhomes project (Project) located at 2780 El Camino Real (Property). The Project consists of 58 townhome units on a 2.87-acre site.
DISCUSSION
Due to the redevelopment of the Property, the existing public utility easements, storm drain easement, wire clearance easement, and water line easement encumbering the Property have been relocated or determined to be excess, and these easements are no longer necessary. The owner has requested that the City vacate the subject easements to clear these unnecessary encumbrances on the Property. Any relevant facilities previously within said easements or portions to be vacated have been removed or abandoned. All departments and agencies having an interest in the easements concur that the easements are eligible to be vacated. Staff has reviewed this proposal and found that these easements are no longer necessary for public purposes and therefore recommend that they be vacated according to subsection C of California Streets and Highways Code Section 8333.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The potential impacts of the Project are addressed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and the Mitigation Monitoring or Reporting Program (MMRP) that were approved by City Council on May 22, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no additional cost to the City other than staff time and expense.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office, Silicon Valley Power, and the Water and Sewer Utilities Department.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Addition of Three Community Development Department Positions Funded by Building Division Permit Fees and Related Budget Amendment
COUNCIL PILLARS
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure; Manage Strategically Our Workforce Capacity and Resources
BACKGROUND
The City’s Community Development Department Building Division operates as a cost recovery fee funded program with permit fees covering 100% of service delivery costs. Permit activity and accompanying revenue have both grown steadily over the past ten years. The Building Division’s budget is appropriated in its own Building Development Services Fund. The fund maintains a positive balance in order to support the delivery of services that may continue for one to three years after the collection of permit fees. This also provides some buffer to mitigate fluctuations in economic and building industry activity. The Building Division budget includes projected revenue and costs for each fiscal year including anticipated surpluses to contribute to the reserves. While the Building Division experienced a slight drop in activity in the early months of the COVID pandemic (March-May 2020), the Building Division completed FY 2020/21 with revenue greater than projected in the Division’s budget. Similarly, FY 2021/22 was completed with revenue nearly 50% greater than projected, further contributing to the growth of the Building Division fund balance. As of September 30, 2022, revenues have tracked higher than budget at approximately 35% collected.
DISCUSSION
The Building Division (Division) continues to operate at historically high levels of permit activity, which have steadily increased over the last ten years. As activity levels grow, it is necessary to gradually add staff in order to maintain a proper balance between demand for services and the City’s ability to respond to that demand. The Division revenue is affected by economic cycles and can be impacted during economic downturns. As mentioned above, the Division maintains a reserve fund to help weather such downturns. In addition, the Division employs a significant number of contract and parttime staff to respond to increases in demand while providing flexibility to reduce staffing levels if necessary.
To respond to the increased demand in services and accompanying growth in revenue, and to provide a more efficient and effective organizational structure, staff is proposing to add three new positions within the Building Division administrative support team. While the Division has increased staff in the past three to four years for the plan check and inspection teams, there has not been an accompanying increase in the administrative support team. The proposal would add the following three positions: one Customer Service Representative, one Senior Permit Technician and one City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 3 Printed on 12/2/2022

22-1222 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
Permit Technician. These positions would be fully funded through the Building Division fee program and not impact the City’s General Fund. The Building Division program has sufficient balance to fund the requested positions due to the sustained increase in development and permit activity as it strives to provide the highest level of customer service to our residents and the development community at large. This adjustment will provide balance to our staff given the growth in our plan review and inspection teams over the past few years.
The Customer Service Representative (CSR) is the main point of contact for all divisions within the Development Services Department. There is a constant flow of customer walk-ins, in-person over the counter appointments, and phone calls requesting information, status updates, or payment processing. The additional CSR will help provide direct, first point of contact assistance to customers.
This key position also increases efficiencies across the entire department and other stakeholders by guiding customers to the correct staff personnel. This position will help alleviate one of the largest customer complaints of being “bounced” around when attempting to reach someone with the knowledge base to answer a specific question.
The Senior Permit Technician will serve as a subject matter expert within all stages of permit application and issuance as well as provide technical support for permitting services for the Division and all the other City departments. The Senior Permit Technician will assist with project management and play a key role in the ongoing administration, maintenance and user knowledge sharing for the City’s Accela permit tracking system. Furthermore, this position will ensure that any technical issue is well documented, communicated to upper management and shared with other City staff collaboratively. There is currently no such person on staff who is devoted to these ongoing issues in a full time and permanent capacity.
The addition of a Permit Technician will help allow staff to process submittals more quickly while providing a higher level of customer interface. As the Division has implemented an all-electronic, paperless model for Building Permit submittals, a greater level of scrutiny and vetting is required to assess permit submittal packages for completeness, appropriate fees and to assign permit processing workflows. Although the Division has created excellent customer guides for the electronic submittal process, customers often require a greater level of assistance in the permitting workflow.
Adding this position to the Permit Center team will result in fewer delays and errors, quicker turnaround times, and overall improved customer service.
The addition of these three positions (Customer Service Representative, Senior Permit Technician and Permit Technician) will contribute to balancing the Building Division work volume with customer needs and expectations. By increasing the Building Division staff in this manner, the team will have a better opportunity to meet service demands in a positive, proactive manner.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed staffing changes are not a project subject to CEQA review under section 15378(b)(5) as they are organizational or administrative activities that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
These positions will be fully funded by Building Division permit fee revenue and therefore there will be no impact to the City’s General Fund. The estimated annual cost for the Customer Service City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 3 Printed on 12/2/2022

Representative ($161,000), Permit Technician ($175,000), and Senior Permit Technician ($179,000) totals $515,000. In FY 2022/23, a budget amendment in the Building Development Services Fee Fund is recommended to fund the positions for six months through the remainder of the fiscal year as detailed below.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action to Adopt a Resolution Establishing a Suicide Prevention Policy and Mental Health Promotion for the Community
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
Suicide is a serious public health problem that can have lasting harmful effects on individuals, families, and communities.
According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, in 2020, 45,979 people died by suicide in the United States. For every suicide death, there are also:
· 4 hospitalizations for suicide attempts
· 8 emergency department visits related to suicide
· 27 self-reported suicide attempts
· 275 people who seriously considered suicide
Individuals of all races, genders, ages, and other social characteristics express, attempt or die by suicide.
The negative effect of suicide on a community goes well beyond the individual life lost. The emotional toll impacts first responders (e.g. Public Safety Dispatchers, Police Officers, Firefighters, Paramedics, etc.) as well as loved ones (e.g. family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, classmates, faith community, etc.).
In August 2010, and revised in 2011, the County of Santa Clara Behavioral Health Services Department (County) created a County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan (The Plan). Its vision is to prevent death by suicide and create a healthier community.
DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Clara (City) shares the County’s mission of raising community awareness to the issue of death by suicide and has a desire to engage in efforts to stop it.
Suicide is complex and a difficult topic of discussion; however, it is preventable.

Locally and nationally, trained professionals can provide anonymous, compassionate support to individuals in mental health distress (e.g. just need to talk, mental health or substance use crisis, thoughts of suicide, etc.) over the phone, via text, and in-person as follows:
Disaster Distress Helpline, 800-985-5990
Domestic Violence Crisis Line, 800-799-7233
Emergency, 9-1-1
National Alliance on Mental Illness, 800-950-6264 or text 741741 National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, 800-273-8255 or call 988 Mental Health and Substance Use Services, 800-704-0900
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 800-662-4357 Veteran’s Crisis Line, 800-273-8255
Bill Wilson Center, 408-850-6125
In many cases referrals can also be made for outpatient treatment. These services are available in multiple languages.
The County also offers several public awareness campaigns, community outreach materials, support groups, grief counseling services, and commemorative events.
In addition, in December 2019 the Police Department’s Community Response Team added two police officers trained as Crisis Intervention Specialists (CIS). The mission of CIS is to seek and support beneficial outcomes for persons with mental illness who have come to the attention of law enforcement in the areas of behavioral health and social service referrals. CIS collaborates with multiple local, community-based organizations for these purposes. At the August 30, 2022, City Council meeting, the Council unanimously approved an Agreement with the County for a pilot program to add one licensed clinician to CIS. The Police Department is working to finalize this Agreement and incorporate this new resource into our crisis response plan.
Statistics
Locally, numerous lives have been lost to suicide and many other residents have attempted suicide or expressed suicidal thoughts, making this a significant public health issue. 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 (thru

NOTE: Deaths with dignity, or physician-assisted deaths, are not classified as suicides by the Medical Examiner-Coroners’ Office and therefore are not included in the suicide death data provided.
Policy

Suicide devastates families and takes a tremendous toll within communities. Our nation loses approximately 30,000 lives to this tragedy each year. Every 16 to 18 minutes another person dies by self‐inflicted causes. In Santa Clara County, death by suicide occurs, on average, every three days.
When someone dies by suicide, the tragedy isn't limited to the loss of life and human potential.
The heartbreaking pain, intense grief and overwhelming sorrow loved ones experience are complicated by feelings of anger, shock, and second‐guessing.
The issue of suicide was brought to the forefront of our communities’ attention in 2009, prompted by the suicide of four adolescents in a less than six‐month period. With a renewed focus on coordinated and effective suicide prevention services throughout Santa Clara County, the Board of Supervisors supported development of an action based strategy through a broad‐ based group of expert‐professionals from a wide range of fields.
Vic Ojakian and I are pleased to have served as Co‐Chairs of this dynamic group of individuals and organizational representatives. Vic is a member of the Santa Clara County Mental Health Board, a former Mayor of Palo Alto and, along with his wife Mary, a national advocate for improved prevention services since they lost their son to suicide in 2004.
The Suicide Prevention Advisory Committee diligently reviewed data, listened to experts and community members, and studied best practices in prevention and response in order to formulate an action plan in Santa Clara County. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the individuals who served on this committee for their significant contribution to the development of this draft plan.
In addition, we thank members of the public who attended committee meetings and/or participated in the April 28, 2009, Public Forum at which the data, deliberative process and preliminary conclusions of the Suicide Prevention Advisory Committee were enriched. Our thanks go out to each and every one of you who devoted your time, energy and expertise to this critically important endeavor.
While the current plan is a working document that is subject to change as it continues to be reviewed by the community – it is nevertheless an important blueprint for next steps. I urge all Santa Clara County residents to read this plan, think about ways in which you can add to its recommendations and/or help to implement its recommendations, and become active in this vital effort to save lives.

SANTA CLARA COUNTY SUICIDE PREVENTION ADVISORY COMMITTEE This broad and diverse group of individuals, representing a cross‐section of our county, dedicated six months to create this plan. The work of this committee was imbued with the passion that comes, in large part, from personal experience with the pain of suicide. More than 60% of the individuals in this committee have either lost a loved one or friend to suicide or have attempted to take their own lives but, fortunately for us, lived so they could share their knowledge and achieve our goal to reduce the number of deaths by suicide.

Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 12 of 136 Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 13 of 136 Introduction
When someone dies by suicide, the loss of that precious human life and the loss of that person’s potential is only one of the anguishing outcomes: There can be no more heartbreaking pain than having a loved one end his or her life. Along with intense grief from the gaping hole in one’s life, there is overwhelming sorrow about the loss that is typically mixed with a surplus of other tormenting emotions.
In Santa Clara County, death by suicide is the 10th leading cause of death. Our County ranks 54th out of California’s 58 counties (with 58 being the worst) in the rate of adolescent self‐inflicted injury.1
Death by suicide occurs, on average, every three days; and there are 2 suicide attempts every day, and an estimated 14 suicidal gestures every day in Santa Clara County.
This troubling reality of suicide in Santa Clara County stands in stark contrast to our positive identity—to our sense of pride in being the largest member of the economic region called Silicon Valley, a world leader in development of new technologies and industries, where our cities are frequently ranked among the highest in the nation in overall health and safety. We pride ourselves as being civic‐minded and welcoming of all who choose Santa Clara Valley as their home; and yet, one out of every ten deaths is the result of someone taking their own life.
This plan is the effort of many who endeavor to understand the enigma of suicide in Silicon Valley and to take a stand, together as a community, to prevent it. Our belief is one death by suicide is one death too many. One person struggling with despair and the contemplation of taking his/ her own life is one person too many.
Our mission is to bring community awareness to the issue of suicide and to engage a community effort to stop it. Additionally, as we do so, we hope to enlist the public in our effort to contribute to the success of other communities that endeavor to take action to prevent suicide.
We have organized the following report so that you, the reader, will understand how we went about our planning work, what we learned about suicide as we planned, and how we arrived at the five overarching recommendations of this Plan. Those recommendations, discussed in detail in Section V. What We Recommend, focus on community‐wide education, policy development, data collection and evaluation, communication and media practices, and an array of suicide prevention programs and services. Some of the services recommended for all ages include:
Screening and referral resources in primary care and other caregiving settings Training for professionals, service providers and community members on identification and response to individuals at risk
Crisis Hotline and a single, countywide access point/telephone number Accessible, affordable and appropriate crisis, counseling and support services Mobile crisis unit
Self‐help centers in communities
Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 14 of 136 Phone consultation services
Post‐incident care for individuals and families after a 5150 episode (involuntary admission to residential psychiatric care for up to 72 hours) Public recognition of individuals who connect people at risk of suicide to resources Incorporating individuals who have survived their own attempts to die by suicide and individuals who have lost a loved one to suicide in the efforts to increase awareness and prevention
The Suicide Prevention Advisory Committee is proposing broad recommendations to:
One: Implement and coordinate suicide intervention programs and services for targeted high risk populations
Two: Implement a community education and information campaign to increase public awareness of suicide and suicide prevention
Three: Develop local communication “best practices” to improve media coverage and public dialogue related to suicide
Four: Implement a policy and governance advocacy initiative to promote systems change in suicide awareness and prevention
Five: Establish a robust data collection and monitoring system to increase the scope and availability of suicide‐related data and evaluate suicide prevention efforts Each of these broad recommendations, once endorsed by the Mental Health Board and local stakeholders and approved by the Board of Supervisors, will be developed into implementation plans, including well defined deliverables with budgets and specific procurement recommendations. It is expected that a significant portion of the funding for the plan components will be funded through Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention Statewide Project funds; however, it also is anticipated that funding will be sought from other community resources, insuring this is truly a community‐supported effort.
These recommendations and strategies are described in more detail beginning on page 63. In response to public feedback, this document has been designed to provide an overview in the introduction of the recommendations, followed by the details of how these recommendations were selected, and culminating in a more detailed explanation of each strategy and next steps.
The Next Steps section of this document begins on page 85.
Please join us in a community‐wide education and action campaign to reduce the unnecessary loss of life from suicides. Join us in choosing hope and action over hopelessness and inaction.
You can help by learning about warning signs, reaching out to friends and family who are in distress with encouragement and information about ways to seek help, breaking the taboo by discussing suicide, and sharing the most important assets we have as human beings: empathy, comfort, support for our fellow human beings and the knowledge and ability to act as needed.

Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 16 of 136 Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 17 of 136 I. Why We Care
Most people are surprised to learn that every year more than one million deaths worldwide are caused by suicides; and every year there are an additional 10 to 20 million suicide attempts, often accompanied by serious injuries. Even in our own County, suicide is the leading cause of death by fatal injury.2 The numbers are truly too large for us to ignore.
While suicide is confounding, suicide is usually preventable, given the right education, services and supports. Prevention for natural disasters and communicable diseases is typically centered on risk reduction. Likewise, prevention for suicide must be centered on risk reduction through a variety of means. Suicide is most often a fatal complication of different types of mental illnesses which are treatable. Just as with diseases of the body, the earlier treatment is sought, generally the better the outcome and the lower the risk of other complications. We are inspired by the success Australia has had in reducing the number of deaths among youth ages 16‐24 by 57%3 and of the total national population by 30%4 between 1999‐2005. We know that we, too, can make a difference in reducing suicide deaths in Santa Clara County.
As we did our planning, we learned that most services focus on intervention during a crisis, such as counseling someone who talks about taking their life, rather than on true prevention and earlier intervention. Most programs that play a role in preventing suicides do so only indirectly.
As we did our research, it became clear that an effective community suicide prevention effort must consist of multiple strategies that knit together a comprehensive effort to impact suicide through broad, community‐level education, public policies, formal media communication practices, and an array of coordinated and accessible culturally and socially relevant services.
Fundamentally, the most significant prevention strategy is for a troubled person to be able to seek help and talk about how they are feeling with someone they trust. Offering this support and encouragement to get help is something we are all capable of doing.

The Impact of Suicide in Santa Clara County
An important step in our process was
gaining an understanding about suicide in
Santa Clara County.
In 2007, the most recent year for which this
data is available, the suicide rate in Santa
Clara County was 7.8 per 100,000.5 In
contrast to the 7.8 suicide rate, the
homicide rate in the same year was 2.6 per
100,000.6 Many more people kill
themselves than are killed by others and

Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 18 of 136 this is consistent with national data that
show suicide is the 8th leading cause of
death in the U.S., compared to homicide
which is the 13th leading cause of death.
The 7.8 per 100,000 suicide rate equates to
140 individuals7 who lost their lives in 2007
due to their personal despair and loss of
hope. Among older people (65+ years), the
rate jumps to 14.8 per 100,000.8 Among
males, the rate soars to 18.5 per 100,000.9
In addition, over the period 1999 through
2006, there were 5,971 suicide attempts, an
average of 750 suicide attempts per year.
Most attempt survivors had used poisoning
or cutting/piercing as the means. Whites
lead in the number of attempters (3,435 or
58% of attempters), followed by Hispanics
(1,142 or 19%), and Asians (912 or 15%).
Females attempted at almost twice the rate
of males (3,925 to 2,046). Almost half of all
attempters were in the age group of 21 to 44
years old.
In Santa Clara County, the hospitalization
rate for self‐inflicted injury among children
and youth ages 5 to 20 is 30.6 per 100,000.10
This is the rate of self‐inflicted but non‐fatal
injury hospitalizations and includes suicide
attempts well as self‐mutilation. This
equates to more than 100 children and youth
each year who so seriously hurt themselves
or try to kill themselves that they require
hospitalization.
This above data alone should serve as the
community’s “wake‐up call” because we
know, too, that 30% to 40% of persons who
complete suicide have made a previous attempt. Although the majority of people who die by suicide have not tried before to take their life, nevertheless, a serious suicide attempt is a clear risk factor for suicide death.11 The risk of completed suicide is more than 100 times greater than average in the first year after an attempt—80 times greater for women, 200 times greater for men, 200 times greater for people over 45, and 300 times greater for white men over 65.12 A Closer Look at Who We Are

Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 20 of 136 Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 21 of 136 II. What We Did
The Committee Planning Process
The Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Advisory Committee (SPAC) is a 36‐member, broad‐ based group of experts in the field; professionals in related fields such as educators and school administrators, law enforcement, public transportation, public officials, and many others; specialists in various age groups; mental health consumers and family members from diverse cultures and backgrounds; suicide attempt survivors; individuals surviving the death of a loved one by suicide; and concerned members of the public. More than 60% of the members have personal experience with either the loss of a loved one to suicide or as suicide attempt survivors. The personal knowledge of loss by suicide infused the committee’s efforts with a particularly deep commitment to saving lives.
The SPAC was formed as a result of a recommendation from the Mental Health Department to create a local planning group for the purpose of developing a local suicide prevention plan and the acceptance of this recommendation by the Board of Supervisors’ Health and Hospital Committee at its meeting of September 16, 2009. Already Santa Clara County, like other California counties, had contributed substantial amounts of its local MHSA Prevention and Early Intervention funding allocation to the California Department of Mental Health (DMH) to support state‐administered, statewide projects. In December 2008, the Board of Supervisors assigned $1.9 million in PEI funds to DMH annually for four years. One of these statewide projects was the development of the California Strategic Plan on Suicide Prevention. The Strategic Plan was intended to guide the development of future statewide as well as local suicide prevention efforts. Thus, with Board of Supervisors approval and under the leadership of the Health and Hospital Committee Chairperson Liz Kniss, the SPAC was established to create a local Santa Clara County suicide prevention plan.
The SPAC held its first meeting on December 9, 2009. Between December 2009 and May 2010, the committee met the second and fourth Wednesday of every month. Members of the public also attended the meetings and their participation was welcomed in all of the discussions and deliberations, including the “break‐out” sessions which followed the whole‐group dialogues and focused on needs and strategies by age categories.
On April 28, 2010, the SPAC’s findings and preliminarily selected strategies were shared more broadly with the
community at an extensively publicized and well attended Public Forum. Translators provided live translations from English into Santa Clara County’s additional four
threshold languages (Mandarin, Vietnamese, Spanish and
Tagalog) and one of the break‐out groups was conducted
entirely in Vietnamese to better insure that all who
wished to contribute were able to do so.
Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 22 of 136 The Mental Health Department website was an important, ongoing communication link between SPAC members, staff and the public. On the website’s Suicide Prevention page, meetings were publicized; all data and information that was shared at the SPAC meetings were available on an ongoing basis; and summaries of steps taken and preliminary decisions were presented. During the six‐month SPAC planning period, the website received a total of 4,291 visits for a combined total of 6,954 “views,” which is defined as the number of times visitors viewed particular pages.
The final plan will be forwarded to the Santa Clara County Mental Health Board in July 2010 for its review and further solicitation of public comment. It is anticipated that the plan will be submitted for review by the Board of Supervisors in August 2010. Implementation efforts will commence after formal approval by the Board of Supervisors.
The Planning Approach
The SPAC members were informed by
the California Suicide Prevention Plan
and studied both its approach and
recommendations. They also were
informed by each other and the vast
experience of the group and other
participants who came to share personal
stories and information. It was clear at
the onset of the planning process that
the work was a matter of the heart as
much as it was strictly an effort in
strategic planning. From the first
evening, members moved through the planning process in a way that honored the deep emotional impact of suicide while they absorbed data and information and brainstormed about the needs in our community. This quality within the planning group resulted in guiding values for the planning work that were arrived at from the beginning of the process.
Guiding Values
1. Suicide is a community problem. It cannot be addressed effectively by only one system or agency.
2. The plan should be informed by the people
most affected by suicide—the survivors, the
family members, the loved ones.
3. People involved in this work should feel
engaged.
4. Suicide risk factors should be considered for
every age group across the lifespan.
Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 23 of 136
5. The resulting plan should not duplicate existing efforts but rather leverage them.
6. The community should own this plan.
7. The work must be culturally sensitive and competent.
8. The plan and efforts must be focused on continuous process improvement.
9. It is important that the plan is informed by public input.
Planning Goals
Also, early in the process SPAC members agreed upon the following goals for the prevention plan:
1. Reduce deaths from suicide in Santa Clara County.
2. Increase awareness of why people contemplate suicide and how to access available resources.
3. Improve monitoring of suicides using clear and comprehensive data.
4. Empower people to respond to a person who is considering suicide through training and education.
Conceptual Framework
During the process of developing a planning approach, the committee members were offered a conceptual framework to assist their thinking about suicide prevention that had proven successful with the County Mental Health Department’s (MHD) public planning efforts related to the Mental Health Services Act. The approach incorporates a lifespan perspective within an adapted public health model that aligns a continuum of health needs (in this case suicide) with levels of promotion, prevention, postvention, early intervention, and intervention strategies.
The postvention strategy was added to the standard public health model to accommodate a strategy unique to suicide which is
described below.
This framework allowed the committee
and other stakeholders to consider suicide
prevention needs from multiple
perspectives—age, need and risk,
intervention strategies, and recipient or
target of the strategies discussed.
Working definitions of various types of
interventions were utilized, again drawing
from public health definitions used to
differentiate types and intensities of
Promotion

Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 24 of 136 interventions. The committee also was informed that, generally speaking, strategies that are more preventive in nature are usually less expensive per individual served and can reach many more individuals than intervention strategies. By their nature, strategies that are more intervention focused serve fewer people for a higher cost per person served.
Promotion. While there is no precise, universally accepted definition of health promotion, the MHD utilizes the common characterization of promotion as “the enhancement of the capacity of individuals, families, groups or communities to strengthen or support positive emotional, cognitive and related experiences.”13 Strategies for mental health promotion are related to improving the quality of life and potential for health rather than amelioration of symptoms and deficits.
Prevention is concerned with avoiding disease, while promotion is about advancing health and well‐being. Promotion and prevention overlap and should be complementary activities. “To prevent,” of course, means “to keep something from happening.” The Institute of Medicine prevention category is divided into three classifications—universal, selective and indicated.
Universal prevention strategies address the entire population (local communities, schools, neighborhoods). In the context of mental health, selective prevention strategies target subsets of the total population that are deemed to be at risk for mental illness by virtue of their membership in a particular population segment (victims of child abuse, witnesses to traumatic events, etc.) Indicated prevention strategies are designed to prevent the onset of mental illness in individuals who do not meet diagnostic criteria for mental illness but who are showing early signs of distress (changes in thoughts, emotions or conduct).
Postvention consists of interventions after a suicide has occurred aimed at reducing the impact of suicide on surviving friends and relatives, as being exposed to the death of a loved one by suicide is itself a risk factor that greatly increases one’s risk of suicide, especially in youth. 14 Early intervention involves
identification of warning
signs for individuals at risk for
mental health problems and
intervening early to mitigate
factors that put them at
further risk for developing
mental disorders. Early
intervention can prevent
problems from worsening.
Intervention is used to
describe practices and
programs that are offered to
individuals who are
experiencing health problems

Planning Steps
The planning team designed and facilitated the committee process in a manner that the group followed ten planning steps in preparing the plan. It was agreed that the initial phase of plan development would focus on high level
recommendations that would be further shaped into an
implementation plan once approved. The planning steps
are listed below:
1. Established plan goals
2. Identified personal values and guiding principles
3. Reviewed local, state and national data on
suicide
4. Brainstormed needs across the lifespan
5. Aligned needs by age to available data,
risk populations, and potential
strategies
6. Identified additional plan strategies
beyond those that are age and
population‐related
7. Organized recommendations into
five overarching strategies
8. Held a public forum for dialogue
and input on the committee work
9. Incorporated the public input into
the plan
10. Adopted a finalized plan for
Mental Health Board review and
Board of Supervisors approval.

Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 28 of 136 Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 29 of 136 III. What We Learned
Committee members learned from members who had first‐hand experience with the tragic loss of life by suicide or attempting their own suicide that language counts.
Traditionally, our society has not encouraged open
and honest discussion about suicide and what leads
people to contemplate suicide. Moreover, cultural
norms influence how we communicate about suicide,
and these norms can lead to unintended negative
consequences. Wording can communicate our
deepest bias. People who have survived their own
suicide attempts or who are grieving the loss of a
loved one by suicide are acutely sensitive to the
judgments communicated by word choice, for
example:
People "die by suicide" not by "committing
suicide." The word commit often is associated
with crime or sin.
There is no "successful suicide" only a
“completed suicide." Success in our American
culture is an achievement to be celebrated
and applauded. Death by suicide is not a
success, it is a loss.
Language was recognized as affecting a large number
of people. Sixty percent of the committee members,
a broad cross‐section of our county, have had
personal experience with suicide and there is
probably someone in your own personal network of
family and friends who has first‐hand knowledge of
the pain of suicide—regardless of income, race, or
country of origin.
The committee adopted the language that the
developing field of suicidology is promoting and
recommending. Additional guidance and resources
are provided in the insert to the left, Language
Counts.
Language Counts
To ensure the most emotional support
possible, consider the following:
• People "die by suicide" not by
"committing suicide."
• There is no "successful suicide" only a
“completed suicide".
• There is probably someone in your own
personal network of family and friends
who has first‐hand knowledge of the
pain of suicide‐ regardless of income,
race, or country of origin.
• Suicide attempt survivors. Individuals
who have survived a prior suicide
attempt.
• Suicide survivors. Family members,
significant others, or acquaintances who
have experienced the loss of a loved one
due to suicide. Among the general public
this term is also used to mean suicide
attempt survivors.
• Suicidal act (also referred to as suicide
attempt). Potentially self‐injurious
behavior for which there is evidence that
the person probably intended to kill
himself or herself; a suicidal act may
result in death, injuries, or no injuries.
• Suicidal behavior. A spectrum of
activities related to thoughts and
behaviors that include suicidal thinking,
suicide attempts, and completed suicide.

It is evident that individuals or a group cannot meaningfully “fix” a problem they do not fully understand. With this understanding, the committee Co‐Chair Vic Ojakian led the group in a review of who dies by suicide, what common problems the suicide victims faced, other risk factors, and warning signs. While many of the committee members have significant experience and expertise in some aspects of suicide and with certain age or other population groups, the data review process gave everyone a similar foundation of basic knowledge. Several questions were considered as data was reviewed, including:
1. Who is dying by suicide?
2. Who is at risk of suicide?
3. What factors may contribute to suicide?
4. What are the warning signs of suicide?
5. What factors may protect against suicide?
6. What resources are available in our community to address suicide and suicide risk?
7. What do experts recommend are “best practices” in suicide prevention?
8. What are the critical needs and recommended strategies for our community? In keeping with the overall planning approach, an emphasis was placed on studying suicides and contributing factors by age groups across the lifespan. Other data provided information about suicides by gender, race and ethnicity, and various categories of high risk. While available data was limited, further collection and analysis will continue during the Plan implementation phase.
For example, it was learned that Santa Clara County was selected as one of three sites in California to participate in a California Violent Death Reporting System.15 A 2005 study of these data revealed that at least one of the following circumstances was identified in 80% of the suicides:
The most frequently noted circumstances were associated with mental health problems, especially for females and young people.
Females (22%) more often had an alcohol or drug problem than males (14%). Males were much more likely to have a job problem (10%) than were females (0%). Male suicides were twice as likely to be precipitated by intimate partner relationship problems (18%) than female suicides (9%).
Suicide victims ages 45 and older were more likely to have a physical health problem that contributed to the suicide (38%) than victims under age 45 (6%).
In addition to research and review of available data, the committee also discussed the lack of many types and categories of data that would better inform professionals as well as the public about danger signs. One of the committee’s five key recommendations supports ongoing data Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 31 of 136 collection and efforts to encourage more detailed recordkeeping, data analysis, and availability of information related to suicides.
Suicide by Age
Children and Youth. In 2005, 270 children (ages 10
through 14) in the U.S. completed suicide.16 Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among children between the ages of 10 and 14 years.17 Between 1999 and 2007, nine 10 to 14 year olds in Santa Clara County died of suicide.18 Youth and Young Adults. In Santa Clara County, among
teenagers ages 15 through 19, suicide is the third leading cause of death.19 Santa Clara County’s 2005‐07 suicide rate average among youth ages 15 through 24 was 7.0 per 100,000.20 That is consistent with national figures, as shown in the box
on the following
page.21 For the nine year period 1999‐2007, 113 Santa
Clara County youth (15‐24 years old) died of suicide, the majority, almost 75%, were males.22
Nationally, suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students.23 College students have an
“increased incidence of depression,” according to a
study from the Suicide Prevention Resource Center.24
Another study reports that “students experience more
stress, more anxiety, and more depression than a
decade ago. Some of these increases were dramatic.
The number of students seen each year with depression
doubled, while the number of suicidal students tripled, and the number of students seen after a sexual assault
quadrupled.”25
However, while some college‐related factors may
contribute to suicidal behavior, it is important to note that same‐aged youth who are not in college are actually at a higher risk for suicide attempts than are college
students.26
Adults. The largest number of deaths by suicide occurs in the adult age group. It is also our county’s largest age group (25‐65 year olds) at 55.6% of the total population.
National Figures on Youth and Suicide
Suicide ranks as the third leading cause of
death for young people (ages 15 through
19 and 19 through 24); only accidents and
homicides occur more frequently.
Approximately 12 young people between
the ages of 15 through 24 die every day by
suicide.
Every 2 hours and 11 minutes, a person
under the age of 25 completes suicide.
Among 15 through 24 year olds, suicide
accounts for 12.3% of all deaths annually
(CDC, 2008).
In 2005, 32,637 people completed suicide.
Of these, 4,212 were completed by people
between the ages of 15 and 24.
For every completed suicide by youth, it is
estimated that 100 to 200 attempts are
made.
In 2007, 14.5% of students (grades 9‐
through 2) had seriously considered
suicide in the previous 12 months—18.7%
of female students and 10.3% of male
students (CDC, 2008).
In the past 60 years, suicide rates have
quadrupled for males 15 through 24 years
old and have doubled for females of the
same age.

Total Suicide Deaths in 2007: 140
35-44
20.7%
Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 32 of 136 Among that group (ages 26 through 59), the biggest number occurs in the 45 to 54 year‐old category, according to national data. This equates to 7,426 deaths or a rate per 100,000 of
17.19.27 For adults, there is a “clear and direct relationship between suicide and unemployment. At the individual level, unemployed individuals have between two and four times the suicide rate of those employed.”28 For the nine year period 1999‐2007, 810 Santa Clara County adults (25 through 64 years old) died of suicide, the majority, almost 75%, were males.29
Older Adults. National data show that the elderly comprise 12.6 percent of the population yet account for 16 percent of suicides. However, even this may not reflect the true total. Suicide by senior citizens is thought to go unrecognized more than with other age groups. For the nine year period 1999‐2007, 203 older adults (25‐64 years old) in Santa Clara County died of suicide, the majority, almost 75%, were males.30
Older white men have the highest suicide rate of all age groups. Among males, adults age 75 years and older have the highest rate of suicide (rate 37.4 per 100,000 population).31 Most elderly suicide victims are seen by their primary care provider a few weeks prior to their suicide attempt and diagnosed with their first episode of
mild to moderate depression.32
Suicides by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgender Individuals
The majority of research on lesbian, gay, and
bisexual people who attempted suicide concludes
that young LGBT people have a significantly
higher risk of attempting suicide than
heterosexual young people and that most
attempted suicides among LGBT people occur
during adolescence or young adulthood.33 34
Suicide attempt rates (over the course of a
person’s lifetime) range from 52.4% (9th and
12th grade) for lesbian and bisexual females to
29% for gay and bisexual (9th and 12th grade) males.35 This is in comparison with heterosexual suicide attempt rates of 4.6%, according to the National Comorbidity Survey.36 Nationally, LGB teenagers have been found to be more than three times (3.41) as likely to attempt suicide as other youth, and young men are at particular risk.37 One significant factor that may increase this risk is the stigma around LGBT identity and the fear of being “found out.” These youth experience a perceived or actual loss of a peer group or of family support resulting in social alienation from the groups that might otherwise provide protective support.
There has been a paucity of data examining the high vulnerability of LGBT youth to suicide attempts. This lack of data demonstrates the need for further assessment from both a public health and a social justice perspective. An understanding of the impact of isolation from peers

Suicides by Race and Ethnicity
In the developing field of suicidology, little is known of how everyday stressors such as racism can impact a group or individuals. That said, according to the available data reviewed, suicide rates vary by race and ethnicity. In Santa Clara County, the suicide rate for Blacks/African Americans is 15.0 per 100,000, American Indians/Native Americans is 13.0 per 100,000, Whites is 10.7 per 100,000, 2 or more races is 9.3 per 100,000, Asian is 5.2 per 100,000 and Hispanic is
5.1 per 100,000.38
However, these data only provide a partial picture. The table below compares data on Santa Clara County’s racial and ethnic diversity to the percentage of total suicide deaths in Santa Clara County in 2007. While the rates of suicide are probably underreported, combined we begin to see a fuller picture of our county in relation to suicide risk.

Suicides by Gender
A woman takes her own life every 90 minutes in the U.S., but it is estimated that one woman attempts suicide every 78 seconds.
• Women attempt suicide three times as much as men.
• The higher rate of attempted suicide in women is attributed to the elevated rate of mood disorders among females, such as major depression and seasonal affective disorder.
• Although women attempt suicide more often, men complete suicide at a rate four times that of women.
• More women than men report a history of attempted suicide, with a gender ratio of 2:1. • Firearms are now the leading method of suicide in women, as well as men. • Suicide is more common among women who are single, recently separated, divorced, or widowed.
Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 34 of 136 • The precipitating life events for women who attempt suicide tend to be interpersonal losses or crises in significant social or family relationships.40 Suicides by City
These data are based on zip code data being correlated to city boundaries as closely as possible.
Please note that zip code and city boundaries are not always contiguous and that there may be some inaccuracies for this reason. Nevertheless, it is informative to look at suicide rates by Santa Clara County cities. This reveals that the relationship of socioeconomic status and suicide is not clear. It might be expected that structural social inequalities, which result in groups of people with poor access to resources, including social capital, would lead to higher rates of suicide, since this occurs for other indicators of poor physical and mental health. However, data reveal that the highest rates of suicide appear to be in higher income areas of the county, with the highest rates of suicide being in Palo Alto, Los Altos/Los Altos Hills, Sunnyvale and Morgan Hill; while lower rates in general are in Milpitas, Santa Clara and San Jose. However, a closer look at suicides by zip codes reveals that frequent numbers of suicides are found in both higher income areas as well as in certain lower income neighborhoods.
Please see Attachment 1 in the Appendix for numbers of suicides by zip code and a comparison of suicide deaths with homicides.
Table 1. Suicide Rates by Santa Clara County Cities, 2000 ‐ 2006 During the seven years that were reviewed, 2000 through 2006, certain zip codes more frequently had higher numbers of suicides, for example, 95086 and 95123. It is unclear, what, if any, these zip codes have in common. Would the pattern hold over a longer period of analysis? Much work remains to be done to more fully understand the dynamics of suicide.

Several interesting questions are raised when reviewing data about suicides among in‐custody populations. For example, youth entering juvenile facilities are at greater risk of suicide than similar youth in the U.S. population; however, the suicide rate in U.S. juvenile facilities in 2002 was nearly equal to the rate for similar youth in the general population.
The presence of increased risk factors among juvenile justice‐involved youth can be confirmed with Santa Clara County data. Emotional problems were cited as the most significant underlying factor contributing to their delinquency by both boys and girls in custody with the Santa Clara County Probation Department. Forty percent of boys and 58% of girls in custody said “something very bad or terrifying” had happened to them. Nearly one‐quarter of all girls surveyed as they entered juvenile hall said they wished they were dead.41 Of all boys interviewed, 81% had one or more trauma factor noted, compared to 91.7% of the girls.42 Among out‐of‐custody boys on probation supervision, 95.6% had at least one trauma factor noted, while more than one‐quarter (26.7%) of boys had three or more trauma factors noted.
However, all girls reported at least one trauma factor, and 72.7% noted four or more trauma factors in their histories.43
How does this translate into suicides or attempted suicides? According to the Santa Clara County Probation Department’s Institution Incident Report database, which was first implemented in September 2004, there have been no deaths by suicide during the period since then among youth in custody. The decrease in suicide attempts is attributed to changes made in overall custody program and protocol, as well as changes made to the suicide risk protocol and response by the Mental Health staff in the Hall. Mental Health staff and Probation Juvenile Hall staff have received more training in trauma‐informed care and all staff members are involved in increased care coordination for youth considered at risk.
Suicide attempts by youth in custody were as follows:44 Youth in Santa Clara County Probation Department Custody Year Number of Attempted Suicides

Nationally, the suicide rate in jails has decreased 70% from 1983 to 2003 and has decreased 50% in prisons over the same time period. In 2002 the suicide rate in local jails (47 per 100,000 inmates) was more than three times the rate in State prisons (14 per 100,000 inmates).45 However, the suicide rate in both settings remains high.
Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 36 of 136 In California, between 2001 and 2006, there were
190 suicides by inmates in California. This is far
fewer than the number of deaths by illness but
much greater than any other cause, including more
than double the number of homicides.46
In Santa Clara County, during the years 2000
through 2009, there were 212 suicide attempts in
the Main Jail and 81 suicide attempts at Elmwood.
During that same time period, there were 12
completed suicides in the Main Jail and two
completed suicides at Elmwood.47
Suicides by Military Personnel—Active‐Duty,
National Guard, Reservists and Veterans
With our nation’s current level of international
military engagements, the active‐duty military
personnel, National Guard, reservists and veterans
are another group identified as facing higher risk
for suicide. The number of suicides among active‐
duty personnel has been rising, with 147 reported
suicides in the Army from January through
November 2009—an increase from 127 in the same
period of 2008. Among non‐active‐duty reserve
soldiers, 50 suicides were reported in 2008; but the
number had risen to 71 during the first 11 months
of 2009.48
The Navy reports “For the past 10 years, it (suicide)
has been the second or third leading cause of death
among active duty Sailors.”49
According to “Suicide Rivals The Battlefield in Toll on U.S. Military” by Jamie Tarabay as reported by National Public Radio on June 26, 2010, “Nearly as many American troops at home and abroad have committed suicide this year as have been killed in combat in Afghanistan.
Alarmed at the growing rate of soldiers taking their own lives, the Army has begun investigating its mental health and suicide prevention programs.” However, the article goes on to say that the tough challenge is “changing a culture that is very much about ‘manning up’ when things get difficult.”
Other experts agree that, similar to the general public, one of the main reasons that military personnel do not seek help with mental and emotional health issues is due to stigma and fear It takes the courage and
strength of a warrior to ask
for help. Help is available
for veterans 24 hours a day.

careers. “A study published in the New
England Journal of Medicine in 2004 showed
that of those active duty service members
who screened positive for a mental health
problem (PTSD, major depression,
generalized anxiety disorder), only 23‐40%
sought mental health care. Perceived
barriers to seeking treatment included fear
of being seen as weak, of being treated
differently by unit leadership, and of other
members of their unit having less confidence
in them.”50
Correspondingly, veterans, regardless of
when they served or in which branch, are
twice as likely as the general population to
die by suicide, according to an article in the
Journal of Epidemiology and Community
Health (July 2007).51 Suicides among United
States military veterans ballooned by 265
from 2005 to 2007, according to statistics
released by the Veterans Affairs (VA)
department. The VA estimated that in 2005,
the suicide rate per 100,000 veterans among
men ages 18‐29 was 44.99, but jumped to
56.77 in 2007.52
“Of the more than 30,000 suicides in this
country each year, fully 20% of them are acts
by veterans,'' said VA Secretary Eric Shinseki.
“That means on average 18 veterans die by
suicide each day. Five of those veterans are
under our care at VA." Suicide rates among
veterans in all four branches of the military
service are significantly higher than in the
general population.53
Veterans are more likely than the general
public to use firearms as a means for suicide.
“The odds of firearm use (among suicide
decedents) among male and female veterans
were 1.3 and 1.6 times higher, respectively,
than among their nonveteran counterparts

Data compiled for the Veterans Administration Palo Alto Health Care System show that among its patients there were 126 suicide attempts and 1 completed suicide from October 2007 through September 2008. There were 96 suicide attempts and 7 completed suicides from October 2008 through September 2009. There were eight attempts and zero completed suicides in December 2009 alone.
Other Possible Correlations: More Data Is Needed
Varying levels of forensic analysis often may be needed to determine if a death was caused by suicide, homicide, accident or natural causes. More extensive collection, maintenance and analysis of data related to suicides will be key to ongoing efforts to effectively prevent suicides and to decision‐making about where to allocate prevention resources.
Suicides by Occupation. Dr. John Q. Baucom, Ph.D., writes in his book, Fatal Choice, "More professionals commit suicide than others. Farm workers have the lowest incidence among occupational groups. Dentist and physicians take their lives at the rate of 6½ to one over the general population. Lawyers commit suicide at a ratio of five to one over the general population." A web site, straightdope.com, cites an unnamed California study which found that dentists were surpassed in suicide rates only by chemists and pharmacists. Presumably, a Washington State study found that dentists had a suicide rate second only to sheepherders and wool workers. However, our review could not substantiate that these data are accurate.
One of the largest studies on this topic was conducted by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in 1995, which concluded that the medical field definitely has a higher suicide rate. But beyond that, NIOSH researchers said the picture is equivocal: Often the studies are only of one geographic area, sometimes they have methodological problems, and sometimes they contradict each other.
In another study, a sociology researcher at the University of California, Riverside, Augustine Kposowa, Ph.D., looked at records over nine years for about half a million people of whom 545 died by suicide. After controlling for such variables as age, income, race, marital status and region of residence, he found that only laborers and the unemployed had significantly higher risks. On the other hand, he found "dramatic" differences for suicide among the industries where people work. At highest risk were those in mining, business and repair services, wholesale and retail trade and construction. Again, which, if any, of these data are accurate is unclear and there is no data to examine whether these conclusions apply to Santa Clara County.
Police‐Involved Suicides. Some of the first research into “suicide by cop” was completed by Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 39 of 136 Sgt. Rick Parent of the Delta Police Department in British Columbia. Parent's research of 843 police shootings determined that about 50% were victim‐precipitated homicide. Police defined victim‐precipitated homicide as "an incident in which an individual bent on self‐destruction engages in life threatening and criminal behavior to force law enforcement officers to kill them."56 Again, further research is needed to determine the extent to which this type of suicide occurs in other locations.
Suicides by Police Officers. Research has been limited; but there are some indications that there are approximately 450 law enforcement suicides per year nationally, versus 150 officers who die annually in the lines of duty.57
Suicides Labeled as Auto Accidents. The real
percentage of suicides among car accidents is not
reliably known, Studies by suicide researchers
indicate that "vehicular fatalities that are suicides
vary from 1.6% to 5%." Some suicides are
misclassified as accidents because suicide must be
proven. "It is noteworthy that even when suicide is
strongly suspected but a suicide note is not found,
the case will be classified an accident.” 58 59
Some researchers believe that suicides disguised as
traffic accidents are far more prevalent than
previously thought. One large‐scale community
survey (in Australia) among suicidal persons
provided the following numbers: "Of those who
reported planning a suicide, 14.8% (19.1% of male
planners and 11.8% of female planners) had
conceived to have a motor vehicle “accident.” Of all attempters, 8.3% (13.3% of male attempters) had previously attempted via a motor vehicle collision.”60 Other Misidentified Suicides. It is unknown how many suicides are not classified as intentional deaths on their death records. However, some means of suicide are believed to be more commonly unreported. For example, it is believed that some portion of fatal poisonings coded as unintentional or undetermined are actually suicides. Under‐reporting of suicide has been attributed to factors such as pressure from families and subjectivity among coroners and medical examiners. As compared with firearms and suffocation, suicide by poisoning is considered to be particularly susceptible to underreporting. The rapid rise in unintentional poisonings in recent years has led some to wonder whether part of this increase represents misdiagnosed suicides.61
Suicide Clusters and Suicide “Contagion.” A suicide cluster is defined as multiple deaths by suicide that occur within a defined geographical area and fall within an accelerated time. These clusters consist of more than three victims, typically ranging from 13 to 24 years old, and occur Providing Hope and Help: SACS Hotline
Darcy (a SACS volunteer) took a cell call from a
hysterical college graduate who was driving on the
freeway with a loaded gun at her side. The caller said she was going to shoot herself because she did not
get into the medical school that she wanted. The
caller’s husband was in Iraq and the caller had no
support system in this area and was under a lot of
stress. Darcy was able to calm the caller down by
gaining her trust through offering care and concern.
The caller agreed to drive herself to the hospital while Darcy stayed with her on the phone. Approximately
three years later, the caller called back to thank Darcy and to tell her that she had become a pediatrician.

Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 40 of 136 within approximately a one‐to‐two‐year period. Contagion is the process in which the death by suicide of an individual influences an increase in the suicides of others. Exposure to another individual’s suicide can precipitate imitative
suicidal behavior.62
How impactful exposure to suicide is as a
risk factor for suicide is an active area of
research. A 1996 study was unable to find a
relationship between suicides among
friends,63 however, a 1986 study found
clusters of suicide among teenagers
following the televising of news stories
regarding suicide. These clusters are
thought to account for 5% of teenage
suicides.64
Between 1984 and 1987, journalists in
Vienna covered the deaths of individuals
who jumped in front of subway trains. The coverage was extensive and dramatic. In 1987, a campaign alerted reporters to the possible negative side effects of such reporting and suggested alternative strategies for coverage. In the first six months after the campaign began, subway suicides and nonfatal attempts dropped by more than 80%. The total number of suicides throughout Vienna dropped as well.65
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that suicide clusters account for 100‐200 deaths annually. Suggestions for minimizing suicide contagion include understanding the “circles of vulnerability” in order to identify those most at risk after a suicide has occurred in the community. “Circles of vulnerability include individuals who:
Had a negative interaction with the victim shortly before the suicide occurred and who perhaps even encouraged it
Were in a suicide pact but backed out at the last minute Realize now that they missed the obvious warning signs of suicide Were suicidal at another time, regardless of whether they had know the victim Have mental health problems.”66
Homicide‐Suicides. Murder‐suicide perpetrators appear to be vastly different from perpetrators of homicide alone. Whereas murder‐suicide perpetrators were found to be highly depressed and overwhelmingly men, other murderers were not generally depressed and were more likely to include women in their ranks.67
College years: Identification of a friend in crisis
I was 19 and in my first year of college. I ran often
with a dorm‐mate who lived just across the hall. His
name was “Billy.” One Friday afternoon just before
Thanksgiving break, Billy asked to go on a run with
me. He said “I really need to talk to someone.” He
didn’t’ say about what. I indicated that I was just
packing up to leave for the holidays but I’d take a
rain check. He seemed more disappointed than
what I would have expected. I left for the holiday.
Billy stabbed himself to death two days later. I’ve
never forgotten the “window of opportunity” I so
blindly missed that Friday afternoon. To this day I
feel a sense of responsibility for the outcome and a
great deal of shame for my inability to hear a cry for
help and my failure to be a friend.
Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 41 of 136 Factors that May Contribute to Suicidal
Behavior among Young Adults Transitioning to
Financial Independence
Major life transitions, such as leaving home for
the first time, may exacerbate existing
psychological difficulties or trigger new ones.
Real or perceived stress may contribute to the
development of stress disorders—including
suicidal behaviors.
Parental pressure to succeed academically or
professionally
Economic pressure to successfully complete a
course of education and training in a shorter
period of time may increase stress.
Mounting financial burdens, worries about time
away from careers and being out of the
workplace, and uncertainties about the future
job market (especially for those pursuing
research and academic careers) are additional
stressors for students in college, graduate
programs, vocational and technical schools.
Suicide Risk and Mental Illness
Of the 14.8 million Americans who live with
depression, the majority will not attempt suicide.68
However, research has shown a definite correlation
between depression and suicide, as well as a
significant association with all mood disorders and
suicide. Varying studies have shown that between
60% and 90% of suicide victims had a psychiatric
illness at the time of their death. Most common
are mood disorders (depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, etc.) and substance abuse.69 70 71 72 73 When both mood disorders and substance abuse are present, the risk for suicide is much greater, particularly for adolescents and young adults.74 Children and Youth. Among Santa Clara County parents who participated in a 2006 survey commissioned by the Lucile Packard Foundation for
Children’s Health, 5.8% were “very concerned” about
their child’s level of depression and an additional 14.1% were “somewhat concerned.”75 At the same time, one‐
quarter to one‐third of seventh, ninth and eleventh
graders reported symptoms of depression (feeling so sad or hopeless for at least two weeks during the previous
year that they stopped doing some regular activities).76 Further, 16.3% of the seventh, ninth and eleventh
graders
reported
they seriously considered, and 8.2% reported
they actually attempted, suicide during the
previous year.77
Nationally, more teenagers die by suicide than
from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects,
stroke, pneumonia, influenza, and chronic lung
disease combined.78
Young Adults. Some experts estimate that
about 25% of all young people suffer from
depression by the time they are 24, however,
very few seek help. Depression affects one out
of six college students; and, as mentioned
previously, suicide is the second leading cause
of death among college students.79 Again,
same‐aged youth and young adults who are not
in college are actually at a higher risk for suicide
Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 42 of 136 attempts than are college students. 80
Adults. In 2005, California Health Interview Survey data showed that 18% of adults in Santa Clara County reported they needed
help for emotional or mental
problems; however, only 8% of adults
had seen a health professional for
these problems.
A review of Santa Clara County
Mental Health Department Call
Center records show that less than
30% of the people who seek services
from the Department’s system
receive mental health treatment.
Coupled with this, a large‐scale
epidemiological study shows that less
than 30% of people with psychiatric
disorders seek treatment.81 Taken
together—less than 30% of those
who need services seek services—
and—less than 30% of those who
seek services receive services—it is
readily apparent that there is a
significant unmet need for mental
health treatment, including
depression and additional mood
disorders among others.
Older Adults. Depression, one of the
conditions most commonly
associated with suicide in older
adults,82 is a widely under‐recognized
and under‐treated medical illness.
Studies show that many older adults
who die by suicide—up to 75%—visited a physician within a month before death.83 These findings point to the urgency of improving detection and treatment of depression to reduce suicide risk among older adults.
In today’s society older adults are at risk for isolation, loneliness, and depression as their family members move away and they leave the workforce. A recent study of Santa Clara County older adult participants in congregate nutrition programs found that the primary reason for participation in the program is socialization.84 In 2006, 16.2% of Santa Clara County adults age 65 and older reported having one or more days per week when their mental health was not good.85 Warning Signs ‐ National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
There are a few warning signs that clearly indicate that someone is struggling with the decision to injure themselves:
Threatening to hurt or kill oneself or talking about wanting to hurt or kill oneself.
Looking for ways to kill oneself by seeking access to firearms, available pills, or other means.
Talking or writing about death, dying, or suicide when these actions are out of the ordinary for the person.
However, many warning signs go unrecognized by others or are minimized by the people who sense that there is something wrong with the person exhibiting these signs:
Repeated expressions of hopelessness, helplessness, or desperation.
Seeing no reason for living or having no sense of purpose in life. Making threats.
If someone you know or love is exhibiting worrying behaviors, symptoms, or choices that are a change and these changes remain for more than a period of a few days, then you can help by asking them how they are feeling. Often people recognize one or two “odd” things/ changes, but don’t ever consider suicide as a possibility. Whatever the manner someone you know or love is showing worrying behaviors or thoughts, the best thing loved ones can do is ask “Are you thinking about suicide as an option?” Many people fear that by asking that they might be “suggesting” suicide to the person. On the contrary, it allows a person who is considering it an opportunity to ask share their feelings, find that someone else really cares, and seek help. By asking you can help them consider other options, such as calling a crisis hotline, seek help from a doctor, faith leader, or mental health clinician.

Caregivers are at high risk for depression, with approximately 11% of full‐time professional caregivers reporting a major depressive episode in the past year compared to 7% for all occupations.86 Studies show that 16% of caregivers report a decline in their health after taking on the caregiver role, and about half of caregivers who care for someone with Alzheimer’s disease develop psychological distress.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Individuals. Depression and suicide also appear to significantly affect members of the LGBT community. A Santa Clara County 2005 Lesbian Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Needs Assessment and Report on Emotional Well‐Being and Mental Health was conducted and prepared by the Billy DeFrank LGBT Center. Among respondents, 22% stated that within the past year they needed help for depression and 7% said they needed suicide prevention help.
Military Personnel—Active Duty, National Guard, Reservists, and Veterans. Although local statistics on mental illness and co‐occurring disorders among veterans are scarce (i.e., the Mental Health Department does not capture data on veteran status), the high incidence of mental illness among veterans is well documented by other sources. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Veterans Resource Center reports that more than 100,000 combat veterans sought help for mental illness since the start of the war in Afghanistan in 2001, about one in seven of those who have left active duty since then, according to VA records. Almost half were PTSD cases.87 The total of mental health cases among war veterans grew by 58% from 63,767 on June 30, 2006, to 100,580 on June 30, 2007, VA records show. The mental health issues include PTSD, drug and alcohol dependency, and depression.88
Recent data from the Defense Medical Surveillance System from self‐assessments since 2005 of service members who served in Iraq show that 50% of US Army National Guardsmen and some 45% of US Army and Marine reservists have reported mental health concerns.89 Of all those using VA health care, 30% suffer from depressive symptoms, two to three times the rate of the general population.90
Again, it is critical to review statistics about depression with the knowledge that research has shown up to 90% of people who kill themselves have depression and/or another diagnosable mental or substance abuse disorder with a depressive component.91 With this in mind, it is particularly alarming to recognize that more American adults suffer from depression (14.8 million)92 than coronary heart disease (7 million), cancer (6 million) and AIDS (200,000) combined.93
Suicide Risk and Alcohol Consumption
In Santa Clara County, 17.6% of adults responding to the Public Health Department’s Behavioral Risk Factor Survey engaged in binge drinking within the previous 30 days, and 2.7% of the respondents’ answers classified them as heavy drinkers or at risk of heavy drinking patterns.94 Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 44 of 136 Among the many other reasons this is worrisome (liver and heart disease, increased chances of certain cancers, etc.), alcohol dependence is an important risk factor for suicidal behavior.
Suicide completers have high rates of positive blood alcohol, and intoxicated people are more likely to attempt suicide using more lethal methods. Further, alcohol may be a significant factor in suicides among individuals with no previous psychiatric history.95 It has been found that alcohol intoxication increases suicide risk up to 90 times, in comparison with abstinence.96 Alcohol is involved in an estimated 30% of suicides.97 Alcohol causes depressed mood, lowers inhibitions, and impairs judgment, any or all of which may make vulnerable people more likely to act on suicidal plans. These same factors (lowered inhibition and impaired judgment) are also associated with domestic violence and abuse, other factors that are believed to increase the likelihood that suicide will occur.
Suicide Risk Factors and Warning Signs
Experts tell us that there are many circumstances
that can contribute to someone's decision to end
his/her life, but a person's feelings about those
circumstances are more important than the
circumstances themselves. All people who consider
suicide feel that life is unbearable. They have an
extreme sense of hopelessness, helplessness, and
desperation. In addition, with some types of mental
illness, people may hear voices or have delusions
which prompt them to kill themselves. If you or
someone you know experiences these, there are
services that can provide support and guidance:
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline‐ 1‐800‐273‐TALK
(8255) and Santa Clara County’s Suicide and Crisis
Services (SACS) 24‐Hour Crisis Hotline: Toll‐Free 1‐
855‐278‐4204.
The U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) Suicide Prevention
Resource Center identifies three categories of risk
factors: biopsychosocial, environmental, and
sociocultural. SAMHSA literature stresses the
importance of understanding these well‐documented
risk factors because the impact of some risk factors
can clearly be reduced by certain interventions (i.e.,
medication for depression). Other risk factors cannot
be changed (i.e., a previous suicide attempt),
however, awareness by friends and family of the
heightened risk, particularly during periods of

In addition to risk factors, a number of organizations devoted to suicide prevention publish lists of warning signs, with the objective of helping people recognize common indicators in order that they can offer support and assistance that will cause the person to reconsider their suicidal plans. Among the many such organizations that have developed warning sign lists are Suicide.org, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, SAVE (Suicide Awareness Voices of Education), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Injury Center, American Association of Suicidology, and the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
Factors That May Protect Against Suicide
Protective factors buffer individuals from suicidal thoughts and behavior. To date, protective factors have not been studied as extensively or rigorously as risk factors. Identification and understanding of protective factors are, however, equally as important as research concerning risk factors. Identified protective factors against suicide are:
Effective clinical care for mental, physical, and substance use disorders Easy access for a variety of clinical interventions and support for help‐seeking Restricted access to highly lethal means of suicide
Strong connections to
family and community
support
Support through ongoing
medical and mental health
care relationships
Skills in problem solving,
conflict resolution, and
nonviolent handling of
disputes
Cultural and religious
beliefs that discourage
suicide and support self‐
preservation.98
Young at Heart
I am 65 years old and I have been severely depressed for at least 60 of them. My parents have been positive I carried some "family genetic defect that goes back for over 120 years." They said as much to me and calling me a “nasty little son of a bitch”. They abused me emotionally and sexually and made me feel responsible for it and eventually made me available to a homosexual man. I never was able to overcome the personal stigma and emotional breakage I suffered then or the power my mother held over me until I was almost 60 when I finally gave up and tried to kill myself. I suffered in every way possible during those years—not being able to finish college, and being unable to hold a decent job for many years. I had to rely on my parents for support, which only helped me in one way. My mother kept me in virtual servitude, even when I finally did get a job.
The gist of this is that the emotional breakdown I suffered so many years ago lasted until I was past 60 when, to get away my horrific memories and the constant badgering of my mother, I made two nearly completed suicide attempts, which finally got me into the Barbara Aarons Wing at Valley Med Center and into quality psychiatric care. I even "graduated" from Catholic Charities' FSP Older Adult program almost a year ago. I finally learned that I was not responsible for the things that happened to me and that I might just have been sane in an insane world or family. I am well, with my medication and occasional adjustments to it. Now, I am a 65 year old adolescent looking forward to life.

The committee and staff members’ research on suicide risk factors, populations at high risk, available resources, and effective programs is consistent with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Best Practices Registry recommendation for a data‐driven planning process that “typically will involve multiple stakeholders in a process of assessing local needs, assets, and readiness, and choosing interventions that match local problems and circumstances.” Local Needs across the Lifespan
The SPAC members agreed to utilize age groupings that worked well in the Mental Health Department’s Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) planning processes. These groups are:
1. Children and Youth Ages 0 through 15
2. Youth and Young Adults Ages 16 through 25
3. Adults Ages 26 through 59
4. Older Adults Ages 60 and over
5. Strategies Applicable Across Age Groups.
The charge of the SPAC was to examine the risk factors most prevalent within each of the age groups that may contribute to the consideration or decision to take one’s own life; second, to match each of these age groups with targeted high risk sub‐groups or “priority populations” among those age groups based on the data review; and third to recommend strategies most appropriate to diminish risk among that population group/s in the context of Santa Clara County’s demographics. A simple “logic model” was utilized for the work:
The SPAC members devoted a portion of each meeting to discussions in break‐out groups by these age categories. For each age category, the Identified Needs and Concerns were derived from discussion of known suicide risk factors and identification by committee members of the highest priority needs and concerns to be addressed in Santa Clara County. Likewise, the Recommended Priority Populations reflect examination of data and decisions about which groups within each population category are at highest risk or highest need for focused prevention and intervention efforts.
Finally, the Recommended Strategies were developed to respond to the Recommended Priority Populations and were selected based upon reviews of effective and promising programs and the insights and expertise of the SPAC members. While priority populations were the focus, it was with the understanding that prevention strategies that reduce the suicide risk for high‐risk groups also will provide the benefit to the general population.

Public recognition of individuals who connect people at risk of suicide to resources Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 55 of 136 Additional Strategies: Community Education and Information The committee recognized the importance of broadly increasing knowledge of the risk factors and warning signs for suicide while promoting help‐seeking. By enhancing awareness of sources of help and reducing stigma associated with seeking help, these activities should prevent deaths by suicides as well as self‐injury while trying to die by suicide. Increased knowledge has been shown to create substantial change. Mothers Against Drunk Driver’s (MAAD) success in changing drunk driving from a person or family’s secret shame into a community responsibility with their “Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk” campaign is the recommended model for Santa Clara County’s suicide prevention public education campaign.
This strategy will include one universal message for the entire community. In addition, other targeted measures will be developed to engage smaller groups targeting youth, older adults, different language speakers, etc.
An educational campaign targeting improved physician assessment for suicidal risk and management of that risk also is recommended for implementation. Suicide data highlighted many areas of special concern. One example is data showing that a large portion of elderly persons who die by suicide had seen a health care professional within a relatively short period of time prior to their death.
A key concern that was raised by the committee is that in implementing an AdCouncil type public awareness campaign, these activities should be linguistically and culturally appropriate for our diverse community. It also should be broad in the means used to communicate. Youth and young adults are more receptive to internet technologies and social networking. For seniors, radio or television may be the media of choice. Some immigrant groups get their information primarily from foreign language radio, television and press. Others look to daily newspapers or listen to radio. Whatever approach is used, consideration for preferences, including social media, will be considered to most effectively reach the widest possible audience.
Additional Strategies: Communication Practices
In addition to reviewing needs of populations from a lifespan perspective, the committee members explored other critical areas that must be addressed in order to implement an effective suicide prevention effort in Santa Clara County. The Committee benefitted from several members who had been addressing the youth suicides in Palo Alto. Lessons learned include that for any comprehensive suicide prevention campaign to work, two essential elements should be included in the communication practices: 1) a coordinated communication strategy, and 2) educating all forms of media—television, radio, print, social network, internet, and other forms of media concerning the importance of adherence to the guidelines for reporting deaths by suicide, using the recommendations from the Suicide Prevention Resource Center’s Safe Reporting Guidelines.
While the community education and awareness campaign is its own strategy with the dual Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 56 of 136 objectives of 1) increasing community awareness of suicide, and 2) encouraging people to seek help for themselves or loved ones, in is important that it include the establishment of a body that will have oversight and coordinating responsibility of the Communication Practices Work Group. The group’s role will be to 1) ensure the development of defined, clear, concise, paradigm‐shifting message for all efforts; 2) ensure adherence to the guidelines for responsible communication on issues pertaining to suicide and that messaging is consistent across all media campaigns and efforts; 3) coordinate education on reporting suicide; and 4) establish and maintain a permanent website that is available for all to visit at www.sccgov.org/spac .
Media Education and Engagement
By and large, the bulk of the work will relate to
educating the media and formal public
communication.
Research has shown that graphic,
sensationalized or romanticized descriptions of
suicide deaths in the news and social media and
the internet can contribute to suicide contagion,
sometimes referred to as “copycat” suicides,
“media‐related suicide contagion,” or “cluster
suicides,” and other similar terms. In addition to
the danger of this phenomenon, media reports
on suicide can also be a source of
misinformation, for example, when suicide is
attributed to a single event, such as the loss of a
job or a relationship with no mention of
underlying factors such as the individual’s
depression, substance abuse, or lack of access to
treatment for these conditions.
In contrast, responsible coverage of suicide can
educate wide audiences about the likely causes
of suicide, its warning signs, trends in suicide
rates, recent treatment advances and other ways
suicide can be prevented. Stories about well‐known figures who have successfully sought treatment for depression, alcoholism and other conditions that convey suicide risk can also be a powerful impetus for readers to address such issues in their own lives.
Additional Strategies: Policy and Governance Advocacy
There is considerable infrastructure to be created for a prevention campaign to function effectively and for effective monitoring and evaluation activities to proceed. However, the development of this countywide infrastructure depends upon advocacy for supportive, enabling policies and legislation.
Safe Media Reporting on Suicide
Guidelines: What to Do
Always include a referral phone number
and information about local crisis
intervention services.
Emphasize recent treatment advances for
depression and other mental illness.
Include stories of people whose treatment
was lifesaving or who overcame despair
without attempting suicide.
Interview a mental health professional
who is knowledgeable about suicide and
the role of treatment or screening for
mental disorders as a preventive
strategy.
Emphasize actions that communities can
take to prevent suicides.
Report on activities coordinated by your
local or state suicide prevention coalition.

Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 57 of 136 Individuals function within a larger system beyond their families. For example, children spend their days in schools, child care centers, youth centers, juvenile justice system, or alone. Adults spend the majority of their days at work, in higher education or vocational training schools, in the criminal justice system or alone. Without the support and active participation of these larger systems in adopting simple measures, any prevention campaign would be seriously hampered. Simple measures such as creating, adopting, and implementing policies regarding the awareness and identification of individuals in emotional crisis or dealing with a mental illness is a simple, effective step.
Again, the planning committee recognized that this will be an ongoing activity and will require additional investments of time and resources for successful implementation.
Additional Strategies: Data Monitoring and Evaluation
As the SPAC reviewed national information about suicide and suicide risk, it became clear that nowhere in our nation is detailed information available at the local level in a way that provides policy makers and stakeholders with the amount of information needed to accurately describe the profile of who is at risk of suicide. Further, there is no clear way in which those suicide prevention efforts that
currently are in place, or may
be implemented with
approval of this plan, can be
evaluated for their
effectiveness without a
clearly defined, measureable
monitoring and evaluation
process in place.
The data monitoring strategy
will include overseeing the
coordination, collection, and
reporting of useful data in
close partnership with the
Medical Examiner and Coroner’s Office. With the large, dissimilar number of agencies that are mandated to report self injury and “proven” suicides, there is much work to be done to agree on basic data needed; establish or adapt existing processes for reporting, collecting, and analyzing that data in a timely manner; and monitor data to evaluate the success of these efforts.
Local Suicide Resources: A Range of Services
As a part of the process of determining local priorities, the SPAC assessed available local resources. Several Santa Clara County Mental Health Department programs were identified as contributing to the reduction of suicides. Moreover, these programs already are consistent with the recommendations of the California Strategic Plan on Suicide Prevention. A full listing I don’t want to die: The good work of SACS
Bob (a SACS volunteer) took a call from a teenage girl who wanted to be called Zee (not the caller’s actual name). Zee was extremely distraught because she was having problems with her mother who was mentally ill.
Zee called because she had just consumed an entire bottle of medications.
Zee was hysterical because she decided that she didn’t want to die after all, but she was too afraid to go downstairs and tell her father that she had taken all of her medications. After gaining Zee’s trust and calming her down, Bob was able to convince Zee to go downstairs with the empty bottle and to turn it upside down in front of her father so he could see that all of the medications were gone. Bob told her that she didn’t need to say anything to him. Then Bob asked Zee to call him back after she had done this. Zee called back about 10 minutes later and told Bob that she and her parents were in the car on their way to the hospital’s emergency room.
Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 58 of 136 of agencies, programs and services that interact with individuals who die by suicide are listed in Attachment 2 in the Appendix. Some of the programs are specific to suicide prevention, such as the County‐operated Suicide and Crisis Services (SACS), a 24‐hour hotline staffed by a combination of paid and unpaid volunteers that respond to 35,000 calls per year from the community. As is common with many crisis hotlines, a small percentage of the calls are for immediate suicide interventions. The bulk of calls are for non‐suicidal crisis help and information, which helps to prevent individuals from reaching the point of considering suicide.
SACS also provides support groups and other support programs in collaboration with community‐based programs operated by Kara and the Bill Wilson Center’s Centre for Living with Dying. The EMQ Crisis Team provides in the field crisis intervention services to children and adolescents; and the County’s Emergency Psychiatric Services (EPS) provides 24‐hour emergency intervention to individuals who require immediate psychiatric treatment, often meeting involuntary treatment criteria as “danger to self.” Pending and Future Additional Prevention Resources
In addition to these existing programs, the County's efforts to reduce suicides will be further enhanced when the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) facilitates the implementation of the Statewide Suicide Prevention Program. The County will benefit though previously approved assignment of local MHSA funds to this statewide effort. Approximately $13.7 million in local MHSA funds have been assigned for several statewide projects, including Suicide Prevention, Stigma and Discrimination Reduction, and School Mental Health Initiatives.
In addition, the Mental Health Department is currently implementing several projects approved by the MHSOAC in our local Prevention and Early Intervention Plan. Those projects include:
“Early Onset of Mental Illness” – a prevention and early intervention program focusing on the needs of transition‐age youth who may be experiencing at risk mental states (ARMS) or the onset of serious psychiatric illness with psychosis (e.g., schizophrenia).
One study found that 15% of participants in an early psychosis program attempted suicide before beginning treatment.
Primary Care Behavioral Health Integration ‐ A project to integrate early intervention behavioral health services within primary care clinics to meet the emerging needs of adults and older adults. The project will use the Improving Mood—Promoting Access in Collaborative Treatment (IMPACT) model.
Outreach and Engagement – a grassroots "gatekeeper" and mental health literacy program that trains key community members to be more aware of and responsive to early signs and symptoms of emotional distress.
Community Investment Initiative ‐ Programs that enable underserved communities to develop and implement campaigns to reduce stigma and discrimination concerning mental illnesses within their communities so that individuals are more willing to promptly seek help.
Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 59 of 136 Moreover, these are only a few of the programs that will be included in the County's overall Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) Plan. Through the PEI Plan, the Mental Health Department intends to bring mental health awareness into the lives of all members of the community and move the mental health system toward a "help‐first" approach. The County's plan also will be coordinated with several state‐administered, statewide PEI projects, including Suicide Prevention, Student Mental Health Initiative, Stigma and Discrimination Reduction, and Ethnically Specific Interventions. Together, statewide projects and local county PEI plans will create a system of prevention and early intervention services throughout the state.
What Experts Recommend
“Prevention efforts should ultimately reduce risk factors and promote protective factors. In addition, prevention should address all levels that influence suicide: individual, relationship, community, and society. Effective prevention strategies are necessary to promote awareness about suicide and to foster a commitment to social change.”99 Santa Clara County’s Suicide Prevention Plan, when taken as a coordinated and interwoven set of strategies and efforts, will act in concert to prevent suicide. Individuals as well as organizations will have a role to play to contribute to the success of this effort. Our entire community as a whole has an active choice—to value each life and recognize that even one life lost to suicide was a preventable death.
Best Practices—Evolving Knowledge
The Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC), in collaboration with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), maintains a Best Practices Registry (BPR). This project is funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The purpose of the BPR is to identify, review, and disseminate information about best practices that address specific objectives of the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention. The BPR has three sections:
Section I: Evidence‐Based Programs (including 1a: SAMHSA’s National Registry of Evidence‐ Based Programs and Practices; and 1b: SPRC/AFSP Evidence‐Based Practices); Section II: Expert and Consensus Statements; and Section III: Adherence to Standards.
Attachment 3 in the Appendix outlines ten prevention programs that address suicide and are currently listed on the NREPP registry: National Strategy for Suicide Prevention Ten Prevention Programs. In addition to the ten listed programs, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention: Suicide Prevention Resource Center’s Evidence‐Based Practices list contains an additional two.
As we make gains in breaking the taboo of suicide, we have an opportunity to learn more and contribute to the nascent and ever changing field of suicide prevention best practices.

Five Overarching and Interconnected Prevention Strategies Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 62 of 136 Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 63 of 136 V. What We Recommend:
Five Overarching and Interconnected Prevention Strategies The SPAC has identified five overarching recommendations, referred to as strategies that comprise the core of the Suicide Prevention Plan. These recommendations are born out of the values of the committee, the data and information reviewed and presented in this report, the personal experiences shared, and the feedback from the public forum. They are consistent with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Best Practices Registry suggestion, “In general, practitioners will achieve greater results by creating comprehensive approaches involving multiple layers of coordinated components.”
Strategy One ‐ Implement and coordinate suicide prevention and intervention programs and services for targeted high risk populations
Strategy Two ‐ Implement a community education and information campaign to increase public awareness of suicide and suicide prevention
Strategy Three ‐ Develop local communication “best practices” to improve media coverage and public dialogue related to suicide
Strategy Four ‐ Implement policy and governance advocacy to promote systems change in suicide awareness and prevention
Strategy Five ‐ Establish a robust data collection and monitoring system to increase the scope and availability of suicide‐related data and to evaluate suicide prevention efforts
While the basis for each strategy is summarized in the previous assessment section of this report, specific preliminary objectives for each strategy are outlined below. It is expected that once the broad strategies recommended in this plan are approved, an implementation plan will be written for each strategy. The implementation plan will further refine the objectives of each strategy as well as the steps to implementation and the budget requirements.
To ensure the successful project coordination and management, the Mental Health Department intends to hire a full‐time Suicide Prevention Coordinator and Liaison to State Office of Suicide Prevention. That selection process has begun, and it is expected that someone will be hired for that role by August or September 2010.
Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 64 of 136 Strategy One – Implement Suicide Intervention Programs and Services for Targeted High Risk Populations
Desired Outcomes
1. Decrease in the number of completed suicide acts.
2. Decrease in the number of attempted suicides.
3. Increase in the availability of culturally and linguistically appropriate and affordable intervention services in a variety of venues.
4. Improved and earlier identification and engagement of people dealing with mental illness.
5. Improvement in referral relationships to access appropriate care.
6. Increase in help‐seeking behavior from individuals with mental illness and from those who are connected to individuals with mental illness.
7. Increase in support services to the family members and social network of individuals with mental health issues.
8. Improvement in quality of life for individuals and their loved ones who are dealing with mental illness.
9. Increase in diversity of services and programs that are tailored to high risk populations—youth, elders, internet, face‐to‐face.
Target Populations
1. Populations with highest risk of engaging in suicidal behavior (identified in section V.
Review and Summary of Local Needs)
2. Individuals supporting persons at risk of suicide, such as significant others, family members, caregivers, professionals, clergy/faith leaders
3. Key service providers, such as mental health clinicians and primary care physicians, clergy, faith leaders, law enforcement
4. Community members
Current Activities and Recent Gains
Independent of this committee’s activities, other agencies are working to reduce and eliminate suicide. Discussed in more detail in Appendix 2, the following are summaries of ongoing intervention activities occurring in our county and possible next steps:
Suicide and Crisis Services (SACS). This County program provides residents with access to a 24‐hour telephone hotline. Operated primarily by 100 volunteers and with less than $90,000 in annual funding, the program fields over 35,000 calls annually from suicidal clients, concerned family members and other residents in crisis. Approximately ten percent of calls are from individuals with suicide ideation. Recommendation:
Evaluate if the community would be better served if SACS attained national Lifeline accreditation or whether to simply unify the three distinct phone numbers into one and expand the current program. [SACS consolidated its numbers to 1‐855‐278‐4204. Feb. 2011] Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 65 of 136 Strategy One ‐ Continued
Survivors of Suicide Group and grief /loss support programs operated by Kara and the Bill Wilson Center's Centre for Living with Dying. Recommendation: Identify how more groups can be established throughout the county and increase efforts to recruit moderators to provide this service.
SACS staff members provide training to various community organizations on suicide assessments and crisis intervention. Due to repeated budgetary restrictions, available staff to provide such valuable training is very limited. Recommendation: Seek alternative means and additional funding sources to be able to double or triple current trainings.
County Mental Health Services. This County program provides an array of mental health services to primarily Medi‐Cal beneficiaries and those who are uninsured. Approximately 22,000 children, adolescents, young adults, adults and seniors receive services annually through a network of County‐operated and contracted programs.100 Services range from outreach, peer advocacy, and case management to clinical care and support in a variety of community, outpatient, residential and day programs.
Community‐based organizations (CBOs). CBOs account for approximately half of the public mental health system’s capacity, and they are a key component of the entire public safety net. These CBOs address county residents’ behavioral health needs, including mental health concerns that involve the risk of suicide. The CBOs also leverage other funding sources and operate a variety of programs that address behavioral health needs that are not funded by the County Mental Health Department, such as the Status Offender Services network.
EMQ's Families First Child and Adolescent Mobile Crisis Program. This program responds to the serious emotional trauma of minors, offering services in the home, at school and in the community. The EMQ Team responds 24/7 and often facilitates hospitalization and/or crisis intervention services to suicidal children and youth with other community agencies for long‐ term care and assistance. There is only one team that covers the entire county.
Recommendation: 1) Investigate how this model could be expanded or replicated by other agencies. 2) Identify how this model could be expanded to provide similar services to adults.
Emergency Psychiatric Services (EPS). Operated at Valley Medical Center, EPS is the single psychiatric emergency receiving center in the county. The program is key in responding to acute mental health crises that often involve risk of suicide. The 24/7 EPS program provides intervention services to individuals experiencing acute psychiatric episodes and who may be a danger to themselves or others. Annually, approximately 7,500 individuals arrive at EPS on “5150 holds,” brought by law enforcement officers and others. The large majority of involuntary holds specify the “danger to self” criteria.
Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 66 of 136 Strategy One ‐ Continued
Mental Health Urgent Care (MHUC). This voluntary, unlocked, County‐run program also provides residents with crisis intervention services. Services at MHUC, which are available to walk‐ins, are provided daily from 8 am to 10 pm. Clients, family members, law‐ enforcement agencies and other first responders are encouraged to use MHUC to meet the needs of individuals experiencing severe emotional or psychological distress, including thoughts of self‐harm. Recommendation: Promote this service more broadly to increase utilization.
Police Crisis Intervention Training (CIT). In partnership with law enforcement agencies, the MHD is continuing to enhance law enforcement officers’ abilities to manage crises involving mentally ill residents. In addition to reducing the need for using deadly force, this program can save lives by giving officers tools they can use when encountering individuals who intend to lose their lives by intentionally threatening police officers (i.e., suicide by police).
Recommendation: 1) provide CIT training for cadets, and 2) collaborate with law enforcement to ensure that more officers receive Crisis Intervention Training (CIT). Golden Gateway. In addition to providing intensive case management and therapy to severely mentally ill older adults, this program conducts extensive outreach to and mobile assessments of homebound or shut‐in seniors who would benefit from mental health services. Golden Gateway’s services are important for preventing suicides in California. Adults aged 75 and over have the highest rates of suicide (California Strategic Plan on Suicide Prevention, June 2008).
Self‐Help Centers. These County programs offer drop‐in, self‐help and peer support for mental health consumers. Three programs provided in North, Central and South County locations offer the opportunity for consumers to find support and compassion within a supportive peer‐run setting.
Ethnic and Cultural Community Advisory Committees (ECCACs). Based on a similar philosophy to the self‐help centers, the ECCACs are family and consumer support teams from eight ethnic and cultural communities.
Gatekeeper Training. This will provide training to individuals in the community to increase the community’s ability to refer friends and loved ones to appropriate resources at an earlier point in an individual’s emotional crisis.
Integrating Behavioral Health Services in Primary Care. The Mental Health Department will announce a Request for Proposal to support integrating behavioral health services in community‐based, primary care settings by January 2011. Service delivery should begin by July 2012 and is intended to impact 4,200 individuals a year.
Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 67 of 136 Strategy One ‐ Continued
Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) Project 3‐ Prevention and Early Intervention for Early Onset Psychosis (in Youth and Young Adults 16‐ 25). This Request for Proposal was announced June 7, 2010. Service delivery of early identification and treatment services should begin in October 2010. It is intended to provide countywide intervention and treatment services to 30 new clients a year.
Recommended Actions
Convene an implementation committee to accomplish the following:
Conduct further research on specific practices for possible implementation and their costs Provide detailed analysis of available resources and service gaps Convene and implement a subcommittee for each age group Finalize recommended strategies
Develop process and performance metrics for recommended/adopted strategies Prioritize specific strategies in regard to available funding and leveraging opportunities Identify strategies to procure and implement funding for selected strategies Prepare strategic implementation plan to be informed by public process Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 68 of 136 Strategy Two – Implement a Community Education and Information Campaign to Increase Public Awareness of Suicide and Suicide Prevention
Desired Outcomes
The Community Education and Information Campaign will focus on achieving the following outcomes:
1. Increased awareness of mental health issues, including depression and suicide
2. Increased public awareness of suicide
3. Improved identification of people who are feeling suicidal
4. Improved public knowledge of how to respond to a person who is feeling suicidal
5. Increased awareness of how to engage in and access support services, grief counseling services, and postvention services
6. Decreased judgment or blame associated with suicidal thoughts and feelings Target Populations
This strategy involves a community‐wide suicide prevention and awareness campaign to reach:
1. General public of all ages
2. Medical providers and support staff
3. Mental health clinicians and support staff
4. Clergy and faith leaders
5. Caregivers
6. In‐home support workers and others who work with seniors and the disabled
7. Family members
Current Activities and Recent Gains
Assigned a temporary suicide prevention project coordinator and liaison to California Office of Suicide Prevention. Recommendation: Mental Health Department hires a suicide prevention project coordinator/liaison to the California Office of Suicide Prevention. Improved communications with the Santa Clara County Medical Examiner‐Coroner’s Office with the Survivor’s of Suicide Program operated by the County, to ensure surviving families are better informed of available grief support services. Instituted a dedicated website to suicide prevention on the Mental Health Department’s website: www.sccgov.org/spac with a focus on informing the public of this effort and improving awareness. Recommendation: Evaluate and determine the audience for the website, the main objectives for the website going forward, and the best manner to promote this website throughout the county.
Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 69 of 136 Strategy Two ‐ Continued
Promoted an existing youth‐focused (16‐24 years) suicide prevention website www.reachout.com. Following the success of its Australian website, which proved instrumental in reducing the rate of youth suicide in Australia by more than half,101 the Inspire USA Foundation launched its American website from its San Francisco‐based offices in March 2010. Reachout.com is an interactive website for young people that deals with coping with mental health problems; dealing with suicide and self‐harm; drugs, alcohol and tobacco; family relationships; friend and peer relationships; becoming independent; loss and grief; maintaining good health; romance, sexuality and pregnancy; school pressures; and violence. The Executive Director was a guest speaker at one of the SPAC’s meetings and is eager to partner more in our county’s suicide prevention efforts. Recommendation:
Promote this website broadly.
Caltrain, an active partner in this effort, has agreed to make available advertising space on their trains, stations and buses for the specific use of this public education and awareness campaign. Recommendation: Work in close partnership with local transportation agencies, including VTA, to identify available means for communicating outreach message to ridership. Also, forge a tri‐county or more partnership to share the cost of the outreach campaign, beginning with San Mateo and San Francisco Counties. Our county’s school districts and County Office of Education have been actively involved in the effort to reduce youth suicide and raise awareness among their staff on how to recognize students in emotional distress or crisis and how to intervene and provide support.
Recommendation: 1) Support schools in engaging their communities in dialogues about mental health and suicide prevention. 2) Track which school districts are adopting suicide prevention policies.
Enlisted clergy, other faith leaders and lay leaders in the faith community to join in this effort. One of the committee’s members, Bernie (Deacon) Nojadera represented Interfaith Connections and related the committee’s goals, learning and activities to members of that group. More concentrated work can be done. Recommendation: Collaborate with the faith community to promote mental health awareness and suicide prevention in their ministry and outreach.
Conducted a well attended Suicide Prevention Public Forum to obtain public comments and suggestions about suicide prevention and how to develop greater community awareness.
Recommended Actions
Utilize multi‐media tools in health care settings to promote awareness of mental health issues and suicide. Target Implementation Date: FY 2012 with award and implementation of Prevention and Early Intervention projects.
Support efforts such as Onyourmind.net, a youth‐oriented website that provides a safe and anonymous place for teens to get information and support from other teens. Youth are able to talk about anything on their minds, including relationships, school, depression, Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 70 of 136 Strategy Two ‐ Continued
stress, suicide, friends, parents, cutting, identity, and health. They also can submit a question to be answered on the Q&A page or connect to resources for additional information and support.
Enlist clergy, other faith leaders and lay leaders in the faith community to join in this community education and awareness effort. The elderly often have more regular contact with clergy and church members than with any other individuals or organizations. Seniors have the highest church attendance rates across all age groups, and clergy often are the first professional groups to which people turn when they have personal problems.102 Moreover, clergy and other faith leaders are among the few whose responsibilities regularly take them into homes and care facilities. Target Implementation Date: September 2009, after the Board of Supervisors has approved the Plan.
Build on current, successful MHSA‐supported efforts to coalesce the clergy and other faith leaders around efforts to better recognize and respond to emerging mental health needs and to recognize and combat signs of elder abuse, either caused by self‐neglect or perpetuated by others. All of these endeavors recognize that Santa Clara County is one of eleven counties in California predicted to experience the greatest population growth among its seniors.103 Target Implementation Date: September 2009, after the Board of Supervisors has approved plan.
Enlist suicide attempt survivors, suicide survivors (individuals who have lost a loved one to suicide), and suicide prevention collaborative members to conduct a “Listening Campaign” at multiple locations throughout the county. This follows the model implemented by the U.S. Army to solicit feedback on the emotional pulse of their communities. Additionally, this activity encourages awareness and discussion of mental health issues, suicide prevention and available resources. Recommendation: Kick off this effort after the Suicide Prevention Coordinator has been hired by the Mental Health Department. Gatekeeper Training. There are many models available. Recommendation: Identify and adopt the version or versions that would be most effective for our county to serve dual functions: 1) increase awareness and identification of individuals in need or emotional duress; and 2) improve community involvement in seeking support for individuals in emotional crisis or need.
Recommendation: Create a Communications Plan Work Group, discussed in Strategy 3, to play an advisory role in the following Community Education and Information activities:
• Create, replicate and implement a variety of tools and techniques to better inform people about suicide, suicide prevention, and mental health awareness. • Explore feasibility of creating a new PSA campaign or utilize and promote existing PSAs. For example, the AdCouncil has a current teen suicide prevention Santa Clara County Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan June 2010 Revised March 2011 Page 71 of 136 Strategy Two ‐ Continued
campaign sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. • Ensure the Community Education and Information Campaign will include multi‐ media outlets as well as evaluating if new spots should be created or if we should promote and utilize existing campaigns. For example, “We’ve Been There” is an existing television spot with a partner “We’ve Been There” radio spot. “Angry Hurt Helped” and “Hopeless Lost Inspired” are some campaigns developed for print media. Social networking sites, as well as outdoor and interactive elements will need additional messaging created or existing messaging identified to be considered for possible use. • Ensure leveraging of existing and available media productions that promote awareness. For example: More Than Sad Films, produced by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) in partnership with the New York State Office of Mental Health. This 25‐minute film and manual is part of an educational program to help teachers and other school personnel learn more about teen suicide and how they can play a role in its prevention. • Enlist a collaborative effort with our neighboring counties, San Mateo and San Francisco, to participate and perhaps leverage resources for a Silicon Valley‐wide multi‐media campaign.
Develop concise, clear messaging vehicles to quickly convey information. Give a voice to suicide attempt survivors and individuals who have lost a loved one to suicide (suicide survivors) so they can become a positive force in the community and prevent future suicides.
Educate systems that involve large populations on suicide prevention and response. Encourage and coordinate opportunities for groups to share cultural and familial perspectives on death and dying.
