SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
Product Specifications
Accela's solution for the City's permitting and inspection functions will leverage Accela Civic Platform's Land Management solution along with its integral components for Citizen Access, GIS, and Mobile.
Land Management
The Civic Platform allows the City to automate and streamline your civic processes related to permitting.
Accela's Land Management makes it easy for state, county and city agencies of all sizes to coordinate activities for the consideration and approval of land use and building permits, inspections and enforcement to meet your jurisdiction codes. The solution saves time, increases productivity and connects government agencies to the businesses, professionals and citizens they serve.
Accela's Land Management:
♦ Simplifies the permit process. Manage your entire pennitting process including application check-in, plan reviews, fee calculation and collection, inspections, sign-offs, task lists, and more.
Easily manage both the proposed plan and the relationships to the project - including imposing restrictions on transactions, property or individuals until compliance measures and fees are satisfied.
Land Management ♦ Engages your citizens 24/7/365 days of the year. Accela's Citizen Access and IVR capabilities provide quick and easy access to information about permits and inspections directly from any telephone, web browser, or mobile device.
♦ Visualizes information with built-in GIS capabilities, which deliver mapping and routing functionality to the enterprise. This overlays government data onto GIS maps and allows customers to initiate and manage permit activities from a geospatial platform. ♦ Provides online access to save time for agency staff out in the field. Productivity apps, such as Analytics, Inspector, and Contractor Central, connect and equip agency field workers with the right mobile device for the job.
User Interface
Accela's web-based Civic Platform user interface shows several screens on a single page and are configured to meet the needs of individual user roles.
Agreement with Accela, lnc./Specifications and Requirements/Exhibit F Page 2 of 10 Among the most frequently used screens are those presenting alerts and notifications, upcoming and overdue tasks, perfonnance-based charting, and frequently used data queries. When used with Accela's GIS capabilities, government activity data is viewable on a map screen, confinning the solution's versatility in how data is represented.
When used with Accela's mobile capabilities, all land management activity data is available to field staff, enabling a full mobile field office solution. Inspector assignments, schedules, routes, status repo1is, and inspection results are all logically presented. Data collected in the field is recorded electronically and uploaded to the solution for immediate availability throughout the enterprise.
Further extending Land Management offerings to the public are Accela's Citizen Access, which promote true government transparency and citizen self-service by bringing government services to the public 24/7. Self-service options may include property information, online applications, fee collection and inspection scheduling. In eliminating the need for in-person and paper processing, these solution components unite governments and their constituents through accessible technology while reducing costs.
Citizen Access
Citizen participation and collaboration are now one of the most urgent needs facing our government. The ability to put processes online greatly assists this mission in two key ways - by allowing applicants to take advantage of self-service and by increasing agency staff productivity. Another obvious advantage is the solution's inherent ability to address budgetary concerns and help government do more with less.
Accela has long been cognizant of the need for transparency and accountability. Through a selfservice web po1ial and an open user interface, Citizen Access extends government services to the public 24-hours a day by providing members of the public with on line access to apply for land development applications, permits, licenses, schedule inspections, request services, and perform tasks from the convenience of their home, office or job site. This presents a useful way for public users to interact with your agency in an efficient manner.
By configuring a custom welcome page and designing page flows that are intuitive, easy-to-use, and come with agency defined context specific help agencies can better engage and connect with their public. This enables truly transparent government operations. Citizen Access suppmis IE 11 and the latest stable versions of Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Opera browsers.

Additionally, we developed the solution so that all financial transactions are PCI DSS compliant. Furthennore, our
solution is Section 508c compliant, to make our
products accessible to people with disabilities
- such as blindness and low vision.
Purchase of Citizen Access includes the mobile
application, Mobile Citizen Access, which
further enhances accessibility options for
public users. Constituents now enjoy a truly
mobile access to government data, using iOS or
Android devices.
Citizen Access inherits the exact business rules
established in Land Management. System
administrators simply select which service
request activities are to be made available to
the public. Additionally, the Civic Platform
utilizes one central database-data submitted
through Citizen Access is immediately
available for processing by back office users in Land Management.
GIS
The Civic Platform includes GIS functionality out of the box to help streamline mapping processes. The technology integration offers governments a geographic view of all land-use, zoning and infrastructure information associated with parcels, permits, inspections, and service requests, and works seamlessly with Esri maps, layering the information for increased visibility. The Civic Platform map component is built using the Esri JavaScript map control and consumes GIS services published from the agency's ArcGIS Server or ArcGIS Online, as well as can consume Open Geospatial Conso1tium Web Mapping and Web Feature Service map services.
GIS also provides visualization of an agency's government data geographically by plotting locations of activities captured in the Civic Platfonn on the map. GIS provides enhanced user experience with • Optimal server response times
• Smooth panning
• Context-sensitive commands and menu items

Exhibit 3: GIS Map Interface
Accela's GIS gives users the option to initiate and manage all land management activities from a map interface. GIS is a bi-directional interface enabling viewing, interaction, and presentation of both tabular and spatial information. It leverages an agency's GIS database and map services published by one or more ArcGIS Servers. Base maps published from one agency can be combined with map data from another agency to provide a comprehensive view of geographic information. .. ..

Exhibit 4: Share the Civic Platform data in Esri ArcGIS Online Optional map editing tools empower end users to draw new features using points, lines, or polygons to represent actual geographic elements or assets. Once these new features are created, they can be associated with transactions in the Civic Platform database. GIS supports efficient fieldwork through its routing features. Inspection schedules can be automatically routed or users can choose to optimize inspection schedules based on shortest distance or travel time.

Exhibit 5: Accela GIS Heat Map
Customers may enhance user views by adding the agency's ArcGIS map layers to the map viewer. Together, these data sources, united with Accela transaction data, offer the most comprehensive visual representation of government and location data available. Users can manage, edit, and update data from the map viewer. The map viewer presents reference data and context-based action items for a selected parcel(s) (i.e., create a record, show record, create inspection, etc.).
When deployed with Mobile, routing capabilities are available whether connected or disconnected from the network. Routes and driving directions can be saved and printed as needed. Optimized routing can be done one of two ways:
1. To use an agency's street file, that agency needs ArcGIS Server Network Extension and a published routing service. The agency typically creates the network via ArcGIS Desktop and the Network Analyst extension.

EXHIBIT I
ATTACHMENT A
ACCELA, INC. SERVICE LEVEL COMMITMENT
This Saas Service Level Commitment ("SLC") is a policy governing the use of Accela software-asservice products (individually or collectively, the "Service") under the terms of the Accela Master Services Agreement (the "Agreement") between Accela, Inc. and its affiliates ("Accela", "us" or "we") and the purchaser of Accela's Subscription Service ("Customer").
Unless otherwise provided herein, this SLC is subject to the terms of the Agreement and capitalized terms will have the meaning specified in the Agreement. Accela reserves the right to change the terms of this SLC in accordance with the Agreement.
DEFINITIONS
"Monthly Uptime Percentage" is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of minutes during the month in which the Service was Unavailable. Measurement of the Monthly Uptime Percentage excludes downtime resulting directly or indirectly from any SLC Exclusion. "Service Credit" is a dollar credit, calculated as set forth below, that Accela may credit back to an eligible Customer account.
"Unavailable" means, as applicable: (i) Customer is repeatedly unable to log into the Service; (ii) Customer experiences repeated connection request failures; (iii) Customer experiences lack of connectivity of external, public instances or sites lasting for more than five (5) minutes; (iv) Customer is unable to connect and sync mobile applications within the Service to Accela servers; and/or (v) Customer is unable to download or sync data from mobile applications within the Service to Accela servers. The foregoing events must be verifiable or replicable by Accela or its designee. Availability of Accela APis, as separate from Service access, is expressly excluded from this SLC.
SERVICE COMMITMENT
Accela will use commercially reasonable effo1is to make the Service available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage of at least 99.9%, in each calendar month of the Subscription Period (the "Commitment"). In the event the Service does not meet this Commitment, Customer will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below.
SCHEDULED & EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE
Accela will maintain ce1iain scheduled maintenance windows during which regular, planned maintenance of the Service may be performed. Accela will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with no less than twenty-four (24) hours' notice prior to Services unavailability due to planned maintenance .. Accela's standard maintenance window will generally fall between the hours of 9:00 PM [21:00] Thursday and 1:00 AM [1:00] Friday local time.
Accela will endeavor to provide as much notice as is practicable under the circumstances for patches, updates, fixes and other emergency maintenance activities which may be applied on an urgent basis.
Agreement with Accela, Inc./Security/Exhibit I Page 10 of 12 Accela will provide three (3) business days' notice prior to any planned network, server hardware, operating environment, or database modifications of a material nature.
SERVICE CREDITS
System availability is measured by the following formula:
x = (n - y) *100 / n
Notes: (l) "x" is the uptime percentage; "n" is the total number of hours in the given calendar month minus scheduled downtime; and "y" is the total number of downtime hours in the given calendar month. (2) Specifically excluded from 11 11 and "y" in this calculation are the exception times on scheduled upgrade and maintenance windows.
Service Availability Percentae:e of Monthly Service Fees Credited > 99.9% 2%
99.5% - < 99.9% 5%
99.0% - < 99.5% 10%
95.0% - < 99.0% 0%
90.0% - < 95.0% 40%
< 90.0% - < 80.0% 45%
<80% 50%
Accela will apply any Service Credits only against future Service payments otherwise due from Customer. Service Credits will not entitle Customer to any refund or other payment from Accela. Service Credits may not be transfe1Ted or applied to any other account. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability, non-performance, or other failure by Accela to provide the Service is the receipt of a Service Credit (if eligible) in accordance with the terms of this SLC.
SLC EXCLUSIONS
The Service Commitment does not apply to any unavailability, suspension or tennination of the Service or any Service performance issues: (i) caused by factors outside of Accela's reasonable control, including any force majeure event or Internet access or related problems beyond the Service demarcation point; (ii) that result from customizations (if outside of Accela's best practice recommendations), configuration changes, scripting, or data loss caused by or on behalf of Customer or any End User; (iii) that result from Customer's or any End User's or third party's equipment, software or other technology or integrations (other than third party equipment withh1 Accela's direct control); (iv) that result from any maintenance as provided for pursuant to the above terms; or (vii) arising from our suspension or termination of Customer's right to use the Service in accordance with the Agreement (collectively, the "SLC Exclusions").

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with NUVIS Landscape Architecture, Inc. for Design Professional Services for the Central Park New Entrance, Access, and Parking Improvements Project and Related Budget Amendments
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure Enhance Community Sports, Recreational and Arts Assets
BACKGROUND
On August 21, 2021, the City Council approved a Design Professional Services Agreement (Agreement) with NUVIS Landscape Architecture, Inc. (NUVIS) for the Central Park New Entrance, Access, and Parking Improvements Project (Project). The Project consists of installation of a new accessible entrance to Central Park at the corner of Kaiser Drive and Kiely Boulevard (Attachment 1).
The new entrance includes improved landscaping, a new traffic signal, expanded parking area, and an accessible drop off area and paths. The design of the Project is being completed in two phases: 1) schematic design and 2) design and bid document preparation.
On September 27, 2022, City Council approved the schematic design of the Project and approved Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with NUVIS so that staff could begin the second phase which includes design and bid document preparation for the Project.
In August 2023, resident Bruce Donoghue, plaintiff, filed a lawsuit against the City based on certain accessibility barriers at Central Park. The locations identified in the complaint were accessible parking spaces located at the southwest parking lot of Central Park (“Pavilion Parking Lot”) (Attachment 1) and a paved pathway from the Pavilion Parking Lot to Kiely Boulevard. The City and plaintiff entered into a settlement agreement by which the City agreed to remediate the identified barriers in accordance with the latest accessibility specifications. The Pavilion Parking Lot and adjacent paths were not included within the original Project scope, as they were proposed to be implemented in a later phase of development under the Central Park Master Plan.
Staff evaluated several project delivery options to determine the most practical and expedient way to implement the remediation work required under the settlement agreement. Staff determined that adding the remediation work to the scope of the Project would provide the quickest, most cost effective and efficient way to design and construct the improvements.
DISCUSSION
The proposed Amendment No. 2 (Attachment 2) includes a negotiated scope of services and schedule of fees based upon the understanding of the work to be performed at the Pavilion Parking City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 3 Printed on 6/21/2024
powered by Legistar™
24-396 Agenda Date: 6/25/2024
Lot and adjacent paths. The scope of services generally includes preliminary engineering, preparing construction documents, bidding, construction support, and project close-out.
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with NUVIS Landscape Architecture, Inc. to incorporate the design services needed for inclusion of the Settlement Agreement improvements into the Central Park New Entrance, Access, and Parking Improvements Project. It is anticipated that the revised design of the Project, which consists of the new entrance, the rehabilitated Pavilion Parking Lot, and improved adjacent paths of travel will be completed by early 2025. Prevailing wage requirements that were included in the original agreement remain applicable under Amendment No. 2.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is for design professional services and the action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Guidelines section 15378 as the action being considered does not commit the City to undertake the project and future discretionary approvals are required by the City to approve the project for construction.
Environmental review in accordance with CEQA will occur as part of the design and approval process.
FISCAL IMPACT
The not-to-exceed amount under the original Agreement and Amendment No. 1 is $404,000. This amount includes $366,926 for basic services and $37,074 for additional services. The proposed Amendment No. 2 adds $172,727 to the current Agreement, bringing the total not-to-exceed amount to $576,727 ($524,297 for basic services and $52,430 for additional services). Additional funding in the amount of $172,727 is recommended for appropriation from Mitigation Fee Act funds, as shown in the Budget Amendment table below. Additional funding required for the construction of the Project will be requested at the award of construction contract based on the actual bid received.

REPORT TO COUNCIL AND STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Action on a Standard Agreement with the California Highway Patrol for Traffic Management and Law Enforcement Services Related to Levi’s Stadium Events
COUNCIL PILLARS
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure Ensure Compliance with Measure J and Manage Levi’s Stadium
BACKGROUND
On May 6, 2014, the City Council approved a standard agreement with the California Highway Patrol (CHP) for traffic management and support services provided by the CHP for special events at Levi’s Stadium. CHP duties include traffic management, air operations, SWAT, bicycle patrol, and crowd control. Through the Standard Agreement including the State’s mandatory “General Terms and Conditions” (some of which are inapplicable to the present agreement) the City is required to indemnify and defend the State for claims resulting from injury or damage caused by City employees in connection with CHP’s services. The terms and conditions of the agreement are not negotiable.
The term of the original agreement was July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2016, totaling $1,724,811.
When this agreement was initially established, the Police Department estimated 23 events that would require CHP services. On July 14, 2015, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to increase the funding of the original agreement by $1,000,000 to $2,724,811 over the same term to address the increase in events over the preliminary projection. The amendment addressed the revised projection of 45 events scheduled during the contract period.
On July 19, 2016, the City Council approved Amendment No. 2 to extend the term of the agreement with CHP for an additional 24 months, retroactive to June 30, 2016 and extending through June 30, 2018. Amendment No. 2 increased the agreement by $1,700,000, for a total not to exceed amount of $4,424,811.
On June 12, 2018, the City Council approved Amendment No. 3 to extend the term of the agreement with CHP from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2020. Amendment No. 3 added $1,500,000 for a maximum amount not to exceed $5,924,811.
On June 23, 2020, the City Council approved Amendment No. 4 which added $2,500,000 to the agreement, extended the term from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022 and adjusted the maximum amount not to exceed $8,424,811.
Most recently, Amendment No. 5 extended the term of the agreement for traffic management and support related services from June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2024 and added $2,875,189 for a total not to City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 4 Printed on 6/21/2024

24-191 Agenda Date: 6/25/2024
exceed amount of $11,300,000. All other terms and conditions remained the same; during this timeframe the Police Department continued to receive the CHP’s annual salary and benefit overtime rate sheet by classification according to the collective bargaining agreement.
The costs associated with the CHP’s services at the Stadium are required to be reimbursed to the City in accordance with Measure J. From July 2014 through March 2024, approximately $9,370,047 in CHP services have been paid and subsequently reimbursed.
A new Standard Agreement with CHP for traffic management and law enforcement services for Levi’s Stadium events with a not to exceed amount of $5,000,000 over a four-year term is being presented to the Council for its approval.
DISCUSSION
Levi’s Stadium has been the host to 185 public events with an attendance of over 20,000 since its opening in August 2014.
As the lead law enforcement agency, the Police Department secures local, State, and Federal resources, as necessary, to implement security measures, and corresponding contingency plans, in anticipation of the events currently planned at Levi’s Stadium. This includes, but is not limited to, mitigating traffic congestion for event patrons and local traffic, providing a safe venue for attendees, performers, and stadium personnel as well as preventing intrusion into neighborhoods while maintaining access to adjacent business properties. The Police Department is also the lead in obtaining the necessary approvals required to enter into agreements with law enforcement partners.
The CHP has been an essential public safety partner in the implementation of the traffic management and event plans for Levi’s Stadium events. Since 2014, CHP has provided vehicles, radios, personnel, and other necessary equipment for traffic management and related support services on Highway 101 and Route 237, which they have jurisdiction over. In addition, CHP is also instrumental in helping the Police Department obtain threat intelligence information.
The number of CHP personnel necessary to implement the plans varies according to the event type, day and time, anticipated attendance, dignitaries present, intelligence gathered, and potential threat (s). The standard agreement requires compensation to be paid according a CHP hourly employee cost (e.g., salary, benefits, overhead, etc.) from their home station to their return to the home station, including mileage.
In Fiscal Year 2023/24, there were 12 NFL events and six non-NFL events. The average CHP cost was approximately $49,576 per NFL event and $48,153 per non-NFL event.
As of the writing of this report, there are 14 events scheduled for Fiscal Year 2024/25 (10 NFL events and four non-NFL events); it is unknown how many additional event(s) may be scheduled over this timeframe. In addition, there are seven significant events scheduled (e.g., Super Bowl LX and FIFA World Cup 2026) for Fiscal Years 2025/26 and 2026/27; a separate Agreement will be crafted to address these events with the CHP and other entities as needed. As written, this new Agreement is for traffic management and law enforcement services over a four-year term from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2028 with a not to exceed amount of $5,000,000. All other terms and conditions will remain the same, and the City will reimburse CHP based on the agency’s rates, including any rate increases in salary and benefits which are governed by the agency’s respective collective bargaining agreements.

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
This Standard Agreement with CHP for traffic management and law enforcement services for Levi’s Stadium events is for a not to exceed amount of $5,000,000 over four years, July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2028, to provide necessary traffic management and related support services at the venue. Funding for this agreement has been factored into the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Non-Departmental operating budget appropriation, subject to approval. For future Fiscal Years, funding for this agreement will likewise be subject to the appropriation of funds.

24-528 Agenda Date: 6/25/2024
REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Authorizing the Use of City Electric Forces for Public Works Projects at Various Locations
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
Section 1310 of the Santa Clara City Charter (Contracts on Public Works) states “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.”
DISCUSSION
Staff believes that the work described below is better 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 the electric 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 declare and determine that City forces can better perform the installation of the following electric facilities and approve the use of City forces.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Accepting the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control Grant and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Grant Related Documents and Approve the Related Budget Amendment
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) administers the provisions of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act in a manner that fosters and protects the health, safety, welfare and economic well-being of the people of the State.
In 1995, ABC embarked on a new approach to broaden and increase the level of alcoholic beverage law enforcement by working in partnership with cities and counties through the Grant Assistance to Local Law Enforcement Program (GAP). The mission of the GAP is to work with law enforcement agencies to develop an effective, comprehensive and strategic approach to eliminating the crime and public nuisance problems associated with problem alcoholic beverage outlets and then institutionalize those approaches within the local law enforcement agencies.
Over the past ten years, the Police Department has been awarded five grants to curb alcohol-related challenges in our community totaling $370,904.
Fiscal Year Award Amount
2014 / 2015 $75,000
2015 / 2016 * $92,230
2016 / 2017 * $49,486
2017 / 2018 $79,120
2023 / 2024 $75,068
TOTAL $370,904
* ABC awarded the Santa Clara Police Department Significant Achievement Awards associated with grant-related work in Fiscal Years 2015/16 and 2016/17.
DISCUSSION
On March 19, 2024, the Police Department submitted an application for $99,488 for the Fiscal Year 2024/25 California Alcoholic Beverage Control Alcohol Policing Partnership Grant (APP) (formerly the GAP program). On May 19, 2024, the Police Department was informed it is a recipient of such City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 4 Printed on 6/21/2024

funding. This notice informed staff a meeting was pending with ABC personnel, and requested staff register for the APP conference and begin the approval process for accepting the award; a Grant Agreement is pending following a meeting with ABC personnel.
This APP award is effective from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 and is intended to address the following alcohol-related goals:
· To foster and protect the health, safety, welfare and economic well-being of the City’s residents, visitors and business community, supporting the mission of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control;
· To ensure alcoholic beverage license holders meet their licensing requirements and initiate enforcement operations with regulatory mandates in mind; and · To become a model to other law enforcement agencies.
Through the Fiscal Year 2024/25 APP grant cycle, the following objectives have been established to support the identified goals:
· Participate in the APP conference (required as a grant awardee); · Disseminate community messages via the web and social media to include, but not limited to, kick-off Press Release, public service announcements and pre and post operation details; · Utilize patrol briefings to conduct training on alcohol-related legislation and trends; · Conduct IMPACT Inspections of ABC Licensed Premises;
· Conduct saturation patrols to address licensing and regulatory mandates at Levi's Stadium*; · Conduct Minor Decoy operations;
· Conduct Shoulder Tap operations;
· Conduct Bicycle / Walking Patrols in and around the Santa Clara University footprint; · Engage in regular communication with ABC District staff, and implement a multi-agency approach to the above operations; and
· Prepare and submit monthly reporting requirements in a timely and thorough fashion *It should be noted, the cost for ABC agent(s) to conduct saturation patrols is not borne by the City of Santa Clara or the ABC grant. In the case of this grant objective, law enforcement personnel (e.g., Special Event Police Officer or Police Officer) may escort ABC agent(s) on the premises prior to, during and/or following Levi’s Stadium events, to conduct routine alcohol/drug enforcement action and address problematic behavior. The associated personnel expense is reimbursable through the ABC grant.
It is not uncommon for the Police Department to apply for grant(s) to secure equipment, conduct enforcement operations and/or pay for specialized training, some of which is directly related to having a venue of this size and visibility in the city. In these cases, the grant will reimburse the police officer’s time to ensure the City remains in compliance with Measure J.
This Report to Council is intended to adopt a formal Resolution outlining the terms and conditions of the APP grant, accept the APP grant, authorize the City Manager to execute grant related documents and approve the related budget amendment.
