CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager

SUBJECT: AQUATIC CENTER IMPROVEMENTS PHASE 1B – PROJECT UPDATE DATE: April 2, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Receive and file the project update report/presentation for the project; and

3. Authorize the City Engineer to issue a Task Order to Southstar Engineering for Project Management Services in the Amount of $125,000 for the subject project; and

The Capital Improvement Program Budget for Fiscal Year 2023-24 includes $6.6 million for the subject project. Additionally, State Senator Bob Archuleta assisted the city in obtaining a $6.4 million State Parks grant for the project making $13 million in total funds available for the project.

The Aquatic Center Improvements project is divided into two phases, Phases 1A and 1B.

The total project cost for Phase 1A is estimated at $5.2 million, $4 million in construction cost and $1.2 million in soft costs. This leaves $7.8 million ($6.4 million of State Parks grant funds and $1.4 million in city matching funds) available for Phase 1B.

The total project cost for Phase 1B is currently estimated at $9.7 million, leaving a shortfall of $1.9 million. Following the City Council direction relating to the project features, design CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 2, 2024

features and color schemes to be included in the final design, staff will recommend funding appropriations at a subsequent City Council meeting to fully fund the project prior to proceeding with advertisement for construction bids.

BACKGROUND
The Aquatic Center has shown signs of deterioration as described in previous council reports. Some of these issues deal with the pool deck cracking, dilapidated pool pumps, aging equipment, a dilapidated equipment room, and surge pits. The City held several meetings, including Council Study Sessions and Community Feedback Meetings concerning the poor condition of the aquatic center. The result of these meetings was the direction to move forward with initial repair improvement (Phase 1A) to enable the reopening of the Aquatic Center in the summer of 2024. Phase 1B consists of additional amenities and features that will be completed after the summer 2024 re-opening.

ANALYSIS
The Aquatic Center Improvements Phase 1A consists of the repair of the main pools, surrounding concrete deck, and the replacement of the pool equipment. Staff received a construction bid for $4 million in January. The total project cost for Phase 1A is estimated at $5.2 million, with $4 million in construction costs, and $1.2 million in soft costs.

Phase 1B consists of new amenities and is currently in the mid-stages of design. Planned amenities include a splash pad, new family restroom, Jacuzzi/spa area, new concession stand/cabana shaded areas, minor pool house refresh and renovation, and new deckshaded areas. Phase 1B is in design development. Phase 1B construction would start towards the end of 2024 and could take 12 months to complete.

The total estimated cost for Phase 1B including construction, design, engineering and inspection, and contingency is $9.7 million. The total Phase 1B project costs are as follows:

ITEM BUDGET
Construction $ 8,150,000
Design $ 1,100,000
Engineering $ 125,000
Inspection $ 125,000
Contingency $ 200,000
Total Phase 1B Project Cost $ 9,700,000

 Section 155.006 is a new section that adds indemnification language to the Zoning Ordinance to protect the City from legal action.
 Amended Section 155.620 removes the requirement for City Council to approve Christmas tree sales and authorizes the Director of Community Development to approve Christmas tree sales. It also lengthens the sales start date to the Friday after Thanksgiving.
 Amended Section 155.628 removes the requirement for City Council to approve the sale or service of alcoholic beverages and gives approval authority to the Planning Commission.
 Amended Section 155.640 removes the requirement for City Council to approve the use of parking areas for special events and gives approval authority to the Director of Community Development.
 Amended Section 155.715 clarifies that all Conditional Use Permits shall be heard by the Planning Commission at a public hearing.

 Amended Section 155.865 clarifies that Planning Commission actions become final 14 days after the Planning Commission’s action.
 Amended Section 155.866 clarifies the appeal process.

ANALYSIS
The proposed Zone Text Amendment is consistent with the following Santa Fe Springs General Plan Goals and Policies:

1. Policy COS-2.2 - Special Events and Activities. Operate and expand citywide special events and activities that are popular with the community.

2. Policy ED-5.1: Local Business Partnerships. Continue to coordinate economic development efforts with local organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce.

3. Policy ED-5.2: Community-based Organizations. Continue to coordinate formulation of economic development strategies with local service providers such as the Interfaith Food Center.

4. Policy EJ-4.1: Civic Engagement. Support an equitable and comprehensive approach to civic engagement and public outreach on all aspects of City governance and delivery of services.

The proposed Zone Text Amendment creates a simpler and faster approval process for certain special events by removing the requirement to obtain City Council approval for Christmas tree sales, sale or service of alcoholic beverages, and use of parking areas for special events. Additionally, the Zone Text Amendment clarifies the Planning Commission public hearing and appeal process. Taken together, these amendments streamline the approval process.

ENVIRONMENTAL
The Zone Text Amendment is exempt from CEQA pursuant to the common sense CEQA exemption (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)) which provides that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential to have a “significant effect on the environment,” as defined in Public Resources Code Section 21068 and in CEQA Guidelines Section 15382. The amendments to the Zoning Ordinance will not have a significant effect on the environment.

SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1135 to effectuate the proposed amendments to the text of the City’s Municipal Code and determine that the proposed ZTA is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: Cuong Nguyen, Acting Director of Planning
SUBJECT: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 1136, APPROVING ZONE TEXT AMENDMENT (“ZTA”) TO AMEND CHAPTER
154 (SUBDIVISIONS) FOR AN URBAN LOT SPLIT AND CHAPTER 155 (ZONING) FOR THE CREATION OF TWO (2) RESIDENTIAL UNITS PER

LOT, OF THE SANTA FE SPRINGS MUNICIPAL CODE, ALL PURSUANT TO SENATE BILL 9 AND DETERMINE THAT THE ACTION IS EXEMPT

UNDER CEQA
DATE: April 2, 2024
RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Find and determine that Ordinance No. 1136 is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to California Government Code Sections 65852.21(j) and 66411.7(n), the adoption of an ordinance by a city implementing the provisions of Government Code Sections 66411.7 and 65852.21 to regulate Senate Bill 9; and
2) Waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1136 by title, adopting a Zone Text Amendment to ensure that the City’s Zoning Ordinance is aligned with the State’s Senate Bill 9 regulations; and
3) Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the proposed Ordinance No. 1136, which implements amendments to the City’s Municipal Code, Title 15 (Land Use), Chapter 154 (Subdivision) and Chapter 155 (Zoning) are not expected to have any immediate fiscal impact.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 2, 2024

Page 2 of 4 ends

CITY COUNCIL FIRST READING AND RECOMMENDATION
On March 19, 2024, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to review and consider the Zone Text Amendment. After evaluating the written and oral reports, along with the public input received prior to and during the City Council meeting, the City Council voted 5-0 in favor of waiving further reading and introducing Ordinance No. 1136 by title, adopting the Zone Text Amendment to ensure that the City’s Zoning Ordinance is aligned with the State’s Senate Bill 9 regulations.

PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING AND RECOMMENDATION
On February 28, 2024, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to review and consider the proposed ZTA. The purpose of the ZTA was to align the City’s Municipal Code with the State’s SB 9. Following a thorough evaluation of written and oral reports, and public discussions during the Planning Commission meeting on February 28, 2024, the Commissioners voted 4-0, with Commissioner Carbajal absent, to approve and adopt Resolution No. 258-2024. This resolution recommends that the City Council approve and adopt Ordinance No. 1136 to effectuate the proposed amendments to the text of the City’s Municipal Code; and determined that the proposed ZTA is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to California Government Code Sections 65852.21(j) and 66411.7(n). (Shown as Attachment D in the original Planning Commission Staff Report)

BACKGROUND
On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed Senate Bill 9 (SB 9), known as the California Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency (HOME) Act, into law. SB 9, now codified as California Government Code Sections 66452.6, 65852.21, and 66411.7, went into effect on January 1, 2022. It mandates that local jurisdictions must ministerially approve two-unit residential housing developments and subdivisions (urban lot splits) on single-family residential zoned lots if they meet certain requirements outlined in California Government Code Sections 65852.21 and 66411.7, as well as a local jurisdiction’s objective development and subdivision standards.

ANALYSIS
The State has identified the housing shortage as a significant issue statewide. SB 9 represents one of the many approaches the California Legislature has taken to streamline housing production. The proposed ZTA aims to update City procedures and development standards for SB 9 projects, ensuring consistency with State Law. Additionally, it seeks to shield the City from potential legal challenges to the validity of its SB 9 project regulations by ensuring alignment with current State Law. Furthermore, the proposed regulations aim to maintain as much local control as possible within the confines of State Law. Failure to adopt an ordinance in accordance with State Law may limit the local jurisdiction to applying only general standards outlined in State Law without local refinements.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 2, 2024

Page 3 of 4 ends

Proposed Zone Text Amendment (ZTA)
The proposed ZTA introduces one (1) new section (Urban Lot Splits) to be codified in Title 15 (Land Use), Chapter 154 (Subdivision), and one (1) new section (Second Single Family Dwellings) to be codified in Title 15 (Land Use), Chapter 155 (Zoning) of the Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code. These sections would establish objective standards to regulate SB 9 projects and maintain as much local control as permitted under State Law:

1. Standards Regulating SB 9 – Urban Lot Splits: This section outlines objective subdivision standards applicable to all lots subdivided through an SB 9 – Urban Lot Split when a single-family zoned lot meets the necessary requirements for subdivision.

2. Standards Regulating SB 9 – Second Single Family Dwellings: This section specifies objective development standards for the construction of a second singlefamily home on a single-family zoned lot meeting the applicable criteria under State Law..

ENVIRONMENTAL
Pursuant to California Government Code Sections 65852.21(j) and 66411.7(n), the adoption of an ordinance by a city implementing the provisions of Government Code Sections 66411.7 and 65852.21 to regulate SB 9 – Second Single-Family Dwellings and Urban Lot Splits is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The ZTA implements California Government Code Sections 66411.7 and 65852.21 within the City of Santa Fe Springs in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of SB 9. As such, the proposed ZTA and Ordinance are exempt from CEQA.

DISCUSSION
The proposed ZTA, which involves adding one (1) new section to be codified in Title 15 (Land Use), Chapter 154 (Subdivision), and one (1) new section to be codified in Title 15 (Land Use), Chapter 155 (Zoning) of the Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code, is mandated by State Law. This hearing provides an opportunity for the community and interested parties to offer their comments on the proposed amendments. It is worth noting that during the Planning Commission meeting on February 28, 2024 and the City Council meeting on March 19, 2024, no comments were received from the community or interested parties.

SUMMARY
Staff is therefore recommending that the City Council waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1136 to effectuate the proposed amendments to the text of the City’s Zoning Ordinance and determined that the proposed ZTA is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resource Code (PRC) Section 21080.17.

CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: James Enriquez, P.E., Director of Public Works / City Engineer SUBJECT: POLICE SERVICES STAGING FACILITY STORM DAMAGE –

EMERGENCY REPAIRS UPDATE
DATE: April 2, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Pursuant to Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code Section 34.23 and California Public Contract Code Section 22050, by a four-fifths vote authorize continuing the repairs without competitive bidding; and
2) Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT
The extent of the storm damage and the cost to repair the facility is unknown at this time.

Staff solicited contractor proposals to complete the demolition work in order to expose the damage so that it may be fully assessed. A purchase order was executed with Restoration Unlimited as noted below. Staff will report at a future City Council meeting as further information develops and the complete scope of the repairs is determined and priced.

Expenses encumbered to date related to this emergency repair include:
 Purchase Order #2240222: $43,610.60 for testing and construction demolition with Restoration Unlimited (Santa Fe Springs, CA)

BACKGROUND
The severe storms that hit Southern California the week of February 4, 2024, resulted in historic rainfall totals throughout the region, prompting Governor Newsom to proclaim a CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 2, 2024
Police Services Staging Facility Storm Damage – Emergency Repairs Update

Page 2 of 3 ends

state of emergency in various counties, including Los Angeles. The County of Los Angeles followed with the proclamation of a local state of emergency.

The intense and prolonged rainfall caused significant flooding of the City’s Police Services Staging Facility located adjacent to the Municipal Services Yard. Flooding was experienced in both the Men’s and Women’s Locker Rooms and Restroom/Showers as well as the adjacent gym. The flooding rendered these areas uninhabitable and in need of repairs before the space can be reoccupied.

Public Works maintenance staff worked throughout the storms to sweep and vacuum the water to minimize the extent of the flooding, but were ultimately unable to keep up with the volume of water entering the building from the rear wall adjacent to the railroad rightof-way. Eventually, maintenance crews ceased water removal and began removing gym equipment and mats so that the source of the flooding could be more easily identified.

Although one location was identified where the majority of the water was entering the building, the extent of the flooding has saturated the walls in a significant portion of the facility. Under the City Manager’s authority pursuant to Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code Section 34.23, staff continues to negotiate with contractors to provide varied services to repair the damage.

The first step in the repair process requires demolition work to assess the full extent of the damage and expose the source of the flooding in order to develop a repairs to prevent future flooding.

Staff has contracted with Restoration Unlimited (Santa Fe Springs, CA) for the initial testing and demolition work. Sampling for preconstruction testing was conducted on March 6. Based on testing results, demolition was started on March 18, exposing the likely source of the rainwater intrusion. Staff is currently soliciting proposals from waterproofing contractors. Waterproofing must be completed before restoration work to prevent further water damage.

ENVIRONMENTAL
Not applicable.

DISCUSSION
Staff has been in close communication with the City of Whittier’s City Manager and police administration since the flooding began. Given the extent of the flooding, the City of Whittier provided notice on February 7, 2024, that they will temporarily vacate the facility until permanent repairs can be completed. Limited staff and equipment will be temporarily relocated to the City’s Police Services Building on Jersey Avenue and the majority of the patrol operations will be moved to the Whittier Police Station. The Police Staging building was vacated on February 26, 2024.

Police Services Staging Facility Storm Damage – Emergency Repairs Update

Page 3 of 3 ends

Repairs are currently estimated to take 3 to 5 months to complete. It should also be noted that this assumes the repairs are completed as an emergency, without competitive bidding. Competitive bidding would require the solicitation of services by an architect to develop plans and specifications. The solicitation process and the time to develop documents could add an additional year to the schedule.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Upon the approval of the City Council of the recommended actions, City staff will continue to coordinate the emergency repairs of the facility. Pursuant to the Public Contract Code Section 22050, staff will provide updated reports at subsequent City Council meetings as the situation develops, more information is gathered, and a plan of action for the repairs is determined and scheduled.

CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager

BY: James Enriquez, P.E., Director of Public Works / City Engineer SUBJECT: APPROVE ADDING THE JOSLIN STREET DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT

PROJECT TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
DATE: April 2, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Approve adding the Joslin Street Drainage Improvement project to the Capital Improvement Plan; and
2) Authorize and appropriation of $2,000,000 from the Los Angeles Region, Safe Clean Water Program (Measure W) for the Joslin Drainage Improvement Project; and 3) Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Joslin Street Drainage Improvement project is a new project and staff is recommending adding the project to the Capital Improvement Program.

Staff is also recommending an appropriation of $2,000,000 from the City’s allocation of the Los Angeles County, Safe, Clean Water Program (Measure W) Municipal Program.

The City began receiving its annual allocation in Fiscal Year 2019-20 at an average annual amount of $1.4 million. The City has accumulated funds since FY 2019-20 and there is adequate fund balance for the recommended appropriation.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 2, 2024
Approve Adding the Joslin Drainage Improvement Project to the Capital Improvement Plan

Page 2 of 3 ends

BACKGROUND
Concerns were raised by local residents along Joslin Street and Gard Avenue about the flooding conditions during rain events. Staff was requested to review the existing storm drainage conditions and assess a possible storm drain improvement plan.

Staff retained the professional services of KOA Consulting in 2019 to provide a conceptual planning study, evaluate the existing conditions and determine potential alternatives and funding sources to address the existing stormwater flooding and to improve the stormwater quality within the area.

On August 13, 2020, the City Council approved Transfer Agreement No. 2020MP72 with the Los Angeles County Flood Control District for the Safe, Clean Water Municipal Program to receive the municipal local return on the approved Measure W parcel tax.

This Program provides funding for projects and programs to increase stormwater and urban runoff capture and reduce stormwater and urban runoff pollution.

Staff will solicit engineering services to prepare a feasibility study for the project. The study will explore stormwater management features in addition to flood control in order to qualify the project for the Los Angeles Region Safe Clean Water Program.

ANALYSIS
Current evaluations show the need for a new storm drain system to capture the stormwater, reduce stormwater and urban runoff pollution, and eliminate flooding within the general impacted area along Joslin Street and Gard Avenue. The preliminary project scope of work may include but not be limited to existing concrete curb and gutter removal and construction of new concrete curb, curb opening bio-swales, and gutters, pavement replacement, the installation of over 2,000 lineal feet of storm drain pipe, drain inlets, storm drain junction structures and tree wells or infiltration basins with tree boxes. The feasibility study will also explore other underground storage and groundwater infiltration features as part of the project.

ENVIRONMENTAL
The project improves flood management, stormwater quality, and urban runoff flow by installing new storm drain systems and implementing new water quality best management practices. The project limits the risk of exposure to contaminants found in the stormwater runoff by capturing and filtering waste to reduce the amount of trash entering the system and prevent clogging the storm drain inlets and systems. It provides groundwater infiltration and replenishes local groundwater aquifers by directing runoff to vegetated areas and tree wells or infiltration basins. The project has the potential to provide natural beautification solutions and green space improvements through the design of a network of rain gardens and planting/preserving street trees and plants.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 2, 2024
Approve Adding the Joslin Drainage Improvement Project to the Capital Improvement Plan

Page 3 of 3 ends

DISCUSSION
The completion of the Joslin Drainage Improvement Project will benefit the community and will help alleviate the localized stormwater flooding, provide environmental bioswales, enhance green space, plants and tree areas, improve stormwater quality and reduce pollution.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Upon City Council approval of the recommended actions, City staff will continue with the planning phase and developing the RFP for design services for the Joslin Street Drainage Improvement project.

Recipients must comply with the “Build America, Buy America” provisions of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and E.O. 14005. Recipients of an award of Federal financial assistance from a program for infrastructure are hereby notified that none of the funds provided under this award may be used for a project for infrastructure unless: (1) all iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States--this means all manufacturing processes, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States; (2) all manufactured products used in the project are produced in the United States—this means the manufactured product was manufactured in the United States; and the cost of the components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components of the manufactured product, unless another standard for determining the minimum amount of domestic content of the manufactured product has been established under applicable law or regulation; and (3) all construction materials are manufactured in the United States—this means that all manufacturing processes for the construction material occurred in the United States. The Buy America preference only applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. As such, it does not apply to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as temporary scaffolding, brought to the construction site and removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure project. Nor does a Buy America preference apply to equipment and furnishings, such as movable chairs, desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at or within the finished infrastructure project but are not an integral part of the structure or permanently affixed to the infrastructure project. Waivers When necessary, recipients may apply for, and the agency may grant, a waiver from these requirements. Information on the process for requesting a waiver from these requirements is on the website below. (a) When the federal agency has made a determination that one of the following exceptions applies, the awarding official may waive the application of the domestic content procurement preference in any case in which the agency determines that: (1) applying the domestic content procurement preference would be inconsistent with the public interest; (2) the types of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities or of a satisfactory quality; or (3) the inclusion of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials produced in the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent. A request to waive the application of the domestic content procurement preference must be in writing. The agency will provide instructions on the format, contents, and supporting materials required for any waiver request. Waiver requests are subject to public comment periods of no less than 15 days and must be reviewed by the Made in America Office.

There may be instances where an award qualifies, in whole or in part, for an existing waiver described at “Buy America” Preference in FEMA Financial Assistance Programs for Infrastructure | FEMA.gov. The awarding Component may provide specific instructions to Recipients of awards from infrastructure programs that are subject to the “Build America, Buy America” provisions.

The Dräger X-am 8000 is a robust multi-gas detector capable of identifying up to seven gases simultaneously in pump or diffusion mode. Designed for convenience and safety, it offers an intuitive operation with a clear color display and supports both pre-configured and on-the-fly adjustments for varied measurement tasks. The device ensures user safety with a comprehensive alarm system including visual, auditory, and vibration alerts, and features a powerful pump for extended operational range. Additionally, it facilitates efficient fleet management through compatibility with Dräger's X-dock® system and reduces maintenance issues with its inductive charging technology.

The Dräger X-am 2800 is a compact multi-gas detector that measures up to four gases and is designed for personal monitoring to ensure the highest level of safety with a low cost of ownership. It features a shock-resistant CatEx SR sensor for flammable gases and vapors, and DrägerSensors for O2, CO, and H2S, each offering a five-year warranty.

The device supports Dräger Gas Detection Connect for live monitoring and efficient fleet management. It is easy to use with large buttons and an easy-to-read display, even when wearing gloves. Its robust design includes an IP68 rating, making it resistant to water and dust. Additionally, the X-am 2800 has an intuitive visual alarm system, a green illuminated D-light to indicate readiness, and a durable clip for secure attachment.

The AccuRad PRD is a personal radiation detector designed specifically for emergency responders, including law enforcement and fire rescue teams, to detect, interdict, and respond to nuclear and radioactive materials. This discreet, robust gamma radiation detector is user-friendly, requiring no training, and offers a long battery life of over 900 hours with easily replaceable batteries. It provides critical dose measurement and alarming capabilities, and features innovative Variable Background Suppression (VBS) technology to ensure alarms are triggered only by genuine threats. Built to withstand harsh conditions with an impact-resistant covering, the AccuRad PRD also offers directionality for quicker localization of radioactive sources, enhancing safety and efficiency for emergency responders in the field.

The Dräger Accuro is a manual gas detection pump designed for fast, one-handed measurements using Dräger-Tubes under extreme conditions. It features an integrated stroke counter, end of stroke indicator, and a built-in tube opener for efficient operation.

The pump, encased in hard-wearing EPDM rubber, provides precise volume control and durability for long-term use. Specifically designed for mobile spot measurements, the accuro enables reliable detection of gas concentrations and is essential for safety in confined spaces and challenging environments.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager

BY: Maricela Balderas, Director of Community Services

SUBJECT: ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR PACKARD STAY AND PLAY GRANT

PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE FOR SFS CITY LIBRARY
DATE: April 2, 2024
RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Approve and authorize the Director of Community Services to request and accept an additional payment of Packard Stay & Play grant funds for the SFS City Library (SFS Library), issued by the Califa Group

FISCAL IMPACT
The SFS Library will receive an additional $624.97 in CA Library grant funds to implement the 2024 Stay & Play library program. There is no impact to the General Fund.

BACKGROUND
The Califa Group is a nonprofit library membership consortium of more than 200 libraries and is the largest library network in California. One of their functions is to administer grants to libraries and they have been selected to administer The Packard Foundation’s Stay & Play grant. The Stay & Play grant program provides funding to implement a service model that positions libraries to support and engage informal caregivers and the children in their care. More specifically, Stay & Play includes programming designed specifically for informal caregivers, helping them learn, develop relationships, and build connections to their library and community resources. SFS Library staff applied for the Stay & Play grant in mid-2023, and were notified of grant award of $4,500 in September 2023. On February 9, 2024 staff was notified that we would receive an additional $624.97 in funds.

ANALYSIS
The Stay & Play program will benefit the community by offering programs for and support to the local network of child caregivers. These programs would provide the community’s children and caregivers a dedicated space for enhanced socialization, learning, and literacy experiences. In addition, children and caregivers will be given opportunities to meet others who share their interest in activities that center on socioemotional well-being.

Stay & Play programming will similarly further educational experiences and information sharing that benefit children by nurturing a love of literacy and life-long learning. Through play, children will engage in activities that build school-readiness skills, while caregivers will be provided with mentorship, guidance, and tools to foster the growth and development of children under their care.

Introduction of Stay & Play at the SFS library would also increase awareness of community organizations that provide family and child services. Community partners will be given opportunities to promote information about their resources to participating caregivers.
