Seal Beach City Council
May 28, 2024

later than May 1, 2022. The Seal Beach Police Department complied with AB 481 and adopted Ordinance 1694 approving Policy 706.

AB 481 also requires law enforcement agencies to submit to the City Council an annual military equipment usage report (“Annual Report”) on the use of the equipment, any complaint(s) or concern(s) regarding the use of the equipment, results of any internal audits on the use of the equipment, the annual costs for the equipment, the quantity possessed by the agency, and the intention to purchase additional equipment in the following year. In addition, within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing the Annual Report, a well-publicized and community engagement meeting must be held to allow for public comments.

Government Code § 7072 requires that the Department’s Annual Report include the following information for the immediately preceding calendar year about each type of military equipment:
• A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use.
• A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment.
• The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the military equipment use policy, and any actions taken in response. • The total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs, and from what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the calendar year following submission of the annual military equipment report.
• The quantity possessed for each type of military equipment. • If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment.

To renew Ordinance 1705 and approve the updated Policy 706 by ordinance, City Council must determine whether each type of military equipment identified in the Annual Report and Policy 706 complies with the following standards under Government Code § 7071(d):
• The military equipment is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.
• The military equipment use policy will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties.
• If purchasing the equipment, the equipment is reasonably cost effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.
• Prior military equipment use complied with the military equipment use policy that was in effect at the time, or if prior uses did not comply with the

accompanying military equipment use policy, corrective action has been taken to remedy nonconforming uses and ensure future compliance.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed Ordinance to renew Ordinance 1705 and approve the updated SBPD Policy 706 and Military Equipment Inventory if it can make the above-mentioned findings.

Complaints or Concerns
All use of force incidents are reviewed by assigned supervisors and Watch Commanders. The supervisor for each use of force incident completes a supervisor’s report and provides a determination as to whether the use of force was consistent with Department Policy. The supervisor’s report is reviewed by the Operations Bureau Lieutenant and Captain, and ultimately the Chief of Police, to ensure employees perform their duties within guidelines set by Department policy and applicable law.

In 2023, no violations were discovered, and officers were found to be operating in a manner which met or exceeded Department and community expectations. As listed below in our use summary, Seal Beach Police Department did not receive any complaints or concerns related to the use of military equipment.

Internal Audit
The Department conducted an internal audit and found no violations of the military equipment use policy.

Equipment Purchases in 2023
The only purchases for the Seal Beach Police Department in 2023 included additional ammunition and a Colt AR-15 223 SBR (Serial Number CR824915) to replace a Geissele AR-15 223 14.5 SBR (SD556-034192) damaged during an onduty traffic collision.

The inventory for the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (“UAS”) at the time of adoption of Ordinance 1705 and Policy 706 consists of one DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual and one DJI Avata. During 2023, the DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual, Serial Number 1581F4QWD227B0021HFY was decommissioned due to damage sustained during a flight when the battery malfunctioned, causing an emergency landing condition. This drone has not been repaired due to the prohibitively expensive repairs required.

Intention to Purchase Additional Equipment in 2024
Seal Beach Police Department does not intend to acquire additional types of military equipment, however, future attempts to obtain new equipment will adhere to procedures set forth in the Government Code and Policy 706, including a public hearing and City Council approval prior to acquisition.

For 2024, Seal Beach Police Department only requests additional ammunition and chemical agents, which were previously authorized and need to be replenished after being used in either the field or training environments. All items that require replenishment are included in our updated policy and the attached Inventory that was previously approved by the City Council.

Our Department Inventory and all costs associated with the use of the listed equipment is believed to be consistent with the military equipment inventory list, policy, and Department budget, previously approved by the City Council. The operating costs listed below reflect good faith estimates subject to changes based on variables related to availability, shipping, and general market increases for vendors or manufacturers.

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 28, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Michael Henderson, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Citizen-Council Parking Advisory Ad Hoc Committee Recommendations and Possible City Council Direction on
Parking Program Improvements, Including Whether and
How to Proceed with Paid Parking on Main Street
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council receive and file the recommendations of the Citizen-Council Parking Advisory Ad Hoc Committee and, if desired by the Council, provide direction to staff on whether and how to proceed with paid parking on Main Street or to implement other changes to the City’s parking program. If the Council desires to establish a parking meter zone on Main Street and fix the rate of parking meter fees, then staff would return with an ordinance to implement the Council’s direction at a later date.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

The Seal Beach Citizen-Council Parking Advisory Ad Hoc Committee (“Ad Hoc Committee”) is a temporary committee established by the Seal Beach City Council.

The purpose of this committee is to address and find solutions for parking management issues along Main Street.

The committee was created because the City Council recognized the need for a more structured approach to parking, which had become a concern for both local businesses and residents. The goal was to explore various parking strategies, including the possibility of implementing paid parking.

After its formation, the committee held several meetings to deliberate on the matter. Their meeting schedule was as follows:
• September 13, 2023
• September 27, 2023
• October 12, 2023
• November 29, 2023
• December 4, 2023

• February 1, 2024
In addition to the internal meetings, the Ad Hoc Committee sought to involve the community directly through Town Hall meetings. These meetings were opportunities for the residents to voice their concerns, provide feedback, and discuss various parking options with the committee members. The Town Hall meetings were held on:
• October 26, 2023
• October 30, 2023
• November 14, 2023
To further engage the community and quantify the residents' perspective on the idea of implementing paid parking on Main Street, a public survey was conducted.

This survey was open from October 15 to November 17, 2023, and garnered 1,227 responses. The data collected from this survey helped inform the Ad Hoc Committee.

This thorough process demonstrates a comprehensive approach to communityinvolved decision-making, ensuring that the voices of Seal Beach citizens are heard and considered in the management of local parking resources.

The Ad Hoc Committee considered several programs to help address parking issues along Main Street. These programs included:

1. Twenty Minute Spaces: Creating parking spaces with a 20-minute limit could facilitate quick stops for errands or pick-ups, increasing turnover and availability of spaces.

2. Old Town Employees: Designating specific areas for employees of businesses in the old town district could help alleviate the demand for customer parking in high-traffic areas.

3. Transit Passes: Offering transit passes could encourage the use of public transportation, reducing the number of vehicles that need parking.

4. Low-Income Parking Permits: Implementing a permit system that considers income levels could ensure that parking remains accessible and affordable for all residents.

5. Carpool Passes: Incentivizing carpooling with dedicated spaces or passes can reduce the number of cars needing spaces, easing parking congestion.

6. Expand 8th Street Municipal Lot Permit Program: Increasing the capacity or utilization of a permit program in existing lots can provide more long-term parking options.

7. Update City Hall Parking Permit Policies: Revisiting and revising the policies for parking permits issued by the City Hall could address current needs and trends in parking.

8. Employee Parking Permit for Residential Areas: Allowing employees to park in designated residential areas with a permit could free up more commercial spaces for customers.

9. Seasonal Rates: Adjusting parking fees based on seasonality can manage the varying demand throughout the year, especially in tourist-heavy locations.

10. Switch Existing Main St On-Street / Off-Street Policies: Changing the policies governing on-street versus off-street parking might better align with current parking behavior and needs.

11. Paid On-Street / Time Limit Off-Street: Implementing paid parking on Main Street with a time limit for off-street lots could create a balance between short-term and long-term parking needs, promoting space turnover where necessary.

Although each option has its own set of advantages and implications, the ultimate goal would be to create a parking management plan that is equitable, efficient, and supportive of the local economy.

Under the paid parking model for Main Street, different pricing strategies could yield various financial outcomes in the first year of implementation.

If parking were priced uniformly at $1 per hour, the conservative, projected annual revenue is estimated to be $397,237. After accounting for equipment and operating costs, which amount to $182,950, the net gain for the city would be $214,287.

Doubling the hourly rate to $2 could significantly increase the projected annual revenue to $795,922. With the equipment and operating costs remaining the same, the net gain would see a substantial rise to $612,972.

Another option is to utilize the "Escalating Rate" model, which is a structured parking fee system designed to manage parking demand and encourage turnover.

Under this model, the first two hours of parking are priced at $1 per hour, making it affordable for short-term parkers who may be visiting for shopping or quick errands. To discourage longer stays and promote space availability, the cost increases to $2 for the optional third hour. This pricing strategy aims to strike a balance between allowing ample time for visitors to conduct their business while preventing the monopolization of spaces for extended periods.

In terms of financial implications, the adoption of this escalating rate is projected to generate an additional approximately $24,000 in revenue per year, based on the assumption that 25% of parkers would opt for the third hour. This additional

revenue can then be allocated to community improvements, such as enhancing parking facilities or other local infrastructure projects. The expectation is that such a system would ensure more efficient use of parking resources, benefiting local businesses by increasing the availability of parking spaces for their customers. It's an approach that requires careful consideration to align with both consumer behavior and the needs of the community.

Like any new program, implementing a paid parking program on Main Street involves some startup costs. The primary expense is the purchase of 20 pay stations, each costing $7,825, resulting in a total one-time purchase cost of $156,500. Additionally, there are ongoing expenses such as the monthly meter software fees, which amount to $45 per pay station. Over a year, this results in an annual cost of $10,800. Furthermore, spare parts are estimated to be 10% of the purchase price, adding $15,650 to the budget, bringing the total initial and operational costs to $182,950.

The recommendation for 20 pay stations is based on the typical requirement of one pay station for every 8 to 12 parking spaces. With approximately 200 parking spaces on Main Street, 20 pay stations ensure adequate coverage. The design of the program aims to maximize the use of mobile payment options, making the system accessible and convenient for all users. Pay station placement will be predictable, strategically, and with the overall aesthetics of Main Street in mind.

This strategic placement ensures ease of use and accessibility without compromising the quaint look and feel of Main Street.

These estimates are conservative to ensure the program's targets are met, considering potential equipment sharing and placement adjustments that could ultimately reduce costs. However, it is important to note that the ad hoc committee

made no funding recommendations, and the City budget currently lacks the funds to implement these items without introducing a paid parking program on Main Street.

Despite the initial costs, the financial benefits of implementing paid parking are significant. Even with the startup costs, if parking were priced uniformly at $1.00 per hour, the projected annual revenue is estimated to be $397,237. After deducting the equipment and operating costs of $182,950, the city would see a net gain of $214,287. This revenue could be reinvested into community projects and improvements, making the paid parking program a financially sound decision for the city.

On February 1, 2024, the Ad Hoc Committee made several key recommendations regarding parking management on Main Street:

1. No Paid Parking at the Curb: The committee voted 5 to 3 in favor of not implementing paid parking at the curb on Main Street. They advised that if the City Council considers going against this recommendation, the issue should be brought back to the committee for further discussion.

2. Comprehensive Wayfinding Signage Program: On December 4, 2023, there was unanimous agreement on the need to proceed with the development of a comprehensive wayfinding signage program. This would guide visitors effectively around parking areas and points of interest, thereby improving traffic flow and the overall parking experience.

3. Expand Bike Parking: There was a unanimous vote to expand bicycle parking along Main Street. This move would support alternative modes of transportation and encourage visitors to cycle, potentially alleviating car parking demand.

4. Pay to Stay with Escalated Rate: The committee agreed to allow additional parking time for a fee with an escalated rate in Main Street lots. Under this plan, the current rate would remain at $1 per hour, but the third hour would cost $3. This strategy aims to encourage parking turnover while also allowing visitors the option to extend their stay if necessary.

5. Pilot Program for Active Loading Passenger Pick Up: They recommended a pilot program to be assessed at the discretion of the Chief for active loading and passenger pick up between Main and 10th Streets. This would address the need for short-term spaces for quick stops and pick-ups.

These recommendations reflect the Committee's approach to balance the needs of the local businesses, residents, and visitors with the goal of improving parking availability, supporting alternative transportation, and ensuring efficient use of parking resources.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

There is no environmental impact related to this item at this time. Any parking management options pursued by the City will be reviewed in accordance with CEQA.

LEGAL ANALYSIS:

Pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 22508(a), parking meter zones and the meter rate for those zones must be adopted by ordinance. The meter rate may be variable, based upon criteria identified by the City Council and incorporated into the ordinance. No further legal analysis is required for this item.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The financial impact of paid parking on Main Street is contingent upon the City Council's decision. The projections previously discussed illustrate that if a paid parking program were to be approved and implemented in accordance with one of the proposed rate structures, the City could anticipate a considerable increase in revenue.

If paid parking were priced uniformly at $1 per hour, the conservative, projected annual revenue is estimated to be $397,237. After accounting for equipment and operating costs, which amount to $182,950, the net gain for the city would be $214,287.

If the hourly rate was raised to $2, this could significantly increase the projected annual revenue to $795,922. With the equipment and operating costs remaining the same, the net gain would see a substantial rise to $612,972.

If a blended rate strategy of $1 per hour for the first two hours, followed by $3 for each additional hour, is projected to generate $618,648 in annual revenue.

Subtracting the same equipment and operating costs would result in a net gain of $435,698.00.

Although the Committee made several recommendations outside of implementing paid parking on Main Street, it is not possible to determine the financial impact of these recommendations at this time. For instance, the cost to implement improved wayfinding varies dramatically depending on the City Council's decisions regarding several key factors. These factors include the number of signs to be installed, the types of signage selected, and the specific locations for installation. Additional considerations such as design complexity, materials used, and labor costs will also influence the overall expense. Similarly, other recommendations put forth by the Committee encompass a range of variables that require further specification before an accurate financial estimate can be provided.

Without a detailed plan and clear directives from the City Council, estimating the true cost of these initiatives remains challenging. Each recommendation carries its own set of requirements and potential expenses, making it essential to gather comprehensive details. For example, if the City Council opts for digital wayfinding signs with advanced features like real-time updates, the costs would be significantly higher than traditional static signs. Additionally, the placement of signs in high-traffic or difficult-to-access areas could further increase installation costs due to additional logistical and safety measures needed.

To proceed effectively, it will be necessary for the City Council to provide more precise directions regarding each recommendation. This will enable a thorough analysis of the anticipated costs and allow for the allocation of appropriate funding to ensure successful implementation. Therefore, further discussion and detailed planning are crucial steps in moving forward with these recommendations.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is not applicable to the Strategic Plan.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receive and file the recommendations of the Citizen-Council Parking Advisory Ad Hoc Committee and, if desired by the Council, provide direction to staff on whether and how to proceed with paid parking on Main Street or to implement other changes to the City’s parking program. If the Council desires to establish a parking meter zone on Main Street and fix the rate of parking meter fees, then staff would return with an ordinance to implement the Council’s direction at a later date.
