Alison Wehrle Management Analyst
ITEM NO.
SUBJECT: Consider the Appropriation of $28,000 in California State Funding from the Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant Program to the Police Department's Fiscal Year 2024 Operating Budget for Wellness-Related Programs and Activities
Recommendation
It is requested that the City Council:
1. Consider approving an appropriation of $28,000 in California state funding to the Police Department's fiscal year 2023-2024 operating budget for wellness-related programs and activities into account 101-4010-4011-8020 Police Special Department Expense.
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary documents related to the grant.
Background
The state of California established the Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant Program was established in 2022 and was set up to provide $50 million for city and county law enforcement agencies with the goal of improving officer wellness and expanding access to mental health resources. Funding amount was determined by the state, based on law enforcement agency size. In December 2022, South Pasadena Police Department staff was notified by the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) that all law enforcement agencies as described within Section 830.1 of the Penal Code will be receiving an officer wellness and mental health grant award. The South Pasadena Police Department was selected to receive $28,000. Per the program, funding may be used for any of the following three focus areas:
• Physical Health: fitness programs, purchase of exercise equipment, and nutrition programs;
• Emotional and/or Mental Health: peer support programs, a mental health counselor or psychologist, coping skills education, mindfulness training; • Other: financial literacy program, any other program which does not fall under physical health or emotional and/or mental health.

Officer Wellness Grant Acceptance and Appropriation
November 15, 2023
Analysis
The Police Department consists of sworn officers, dispatchers, and other operations support staff that may be exposed to highly stressful situations on a daily basis that the average civilian may never experience during their lifetime. Due to the stressful and traumatic nature of the work, law enforcement personnel may experience anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance abuse, and other related disorders.
South Pasadena Police Department staff has been reviewing case studies from across the station to understand what other agencies have been implementing to improve access to mental health and wellness services for law enforcement personnel. While no specific service or program has been selected at this time, there are a wide variety of examples from around the country, including refurbishment of gym equipment, on-site or remote access to mental health professionals, nutritional advice from a registered dietician, etc.
This grant program aims to improve officer wellness and increase access to tools and programs to reduce stress for law enforcement personnel. The Final Impact Report, including expenditures, is due December 1, 2025.
Fiscal Impact
The South Pasadena Police Department will receive an award in the amount of $28,000 from the California Board of State and Community Corrections for officer wellness spending. No local matching funds are required. The Finance Department has received the check for the funds, and currently has the funds placed in the Miscellaneous Grants account within the General Fund. Staff is requesting acceptance of the grant and appropriation of $28,000 into 101-4010-4011-8020 Police Special Department Expense, for wellness related programs.

Each text box is limited to 4,000 characters, including spaces, or approximately one single-spaced page. 1 Established in the 2022 Budget Act (Assembly Bill 178, Chapter 45, Statutes of 2022) 11 - 7
The expenditure report will be completed in a pre-formatted Excel file, which will be submitted via Smartsheet by using the attach file feature at the end of the Final Impact Report form.
COMPLETING THE ANNUAL REPORTS
The annual reports are a brief status report on spending the Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant program funds. Each of the fields which comprise the Annual Reports are described in detail below.
SECTION 1: GRANTEE INFORMATION
Agency
Identify the law enforcement agency that is the recipient of the grant funds.
Reporting Year
Select the year for which you are reporting, either
Year 1: January 1, 2023 – October 31, 2023 (Due December 1, 2023) Year 2: November 1, 2023 – October 31, 2024 (Due December 1, 2024) Preparer’s Information

Please report the total amount of Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant Program funds spent in the reporting year?
For this question, only report the amount of funds spent during the reporting period selected in Section 1.
Please report the total amount of Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant Program funds spent.
This question will only be asked in the second annual report. It should be the total amount of grant funds spent since the beginning of the grant (i.e., the total amount in the previous question for year 1 and year 2).
11 - 8
Please select the category or categories which best describe how the money was spent.
For this response, the categories include: Physical health, Mental and/or Emotional Health, or Other. More than one category may be selected. For each category selected you will be asked to provide a brief description of the activity(ies) or project(s) implemented.
Please report the number of officers who benefited from the use of these funds during the reporting year.
For this response, you should include the total number of officers who participated in an activity or program, had access to equipment, or directly benefited another way from the Officer Wellness and Mental Health grant funds.
This number should be an unduplicated count, in that if an officer attended three times, they are only reported once, not three times. If 45 officers attended peer support programs across the period of the grant, then report 45, not the number of support meetings they attended.
SECTION 3: PRE-OFFICER WELLNESS GRANT INFORMATION
This section requests information about any officer wellness programs that were implemented within the agency prior to receiving the Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant funds. As such, this section will only appear in the Year 1 Annual Report.

11 - 9
COMPLETING THE FINAL IMPACT REPORT
Each of the fields which comprise the Final Impact Report are described in detail below.
SECTION 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
Agency Information
In this section, complete each field to identify the law enforcement agency that was the recipient of the grant funds, the individual, and their contact information, who is submitting the report. The name and contact information of the individual who prepared and submitted the report must be included, as this will be the individual the BSCC will reach out to if there are any questions about the final impact report.
Program Focus
For the purposes of the impact report, BSCC divided Officer Wellness into the following three areas of Program Focus:
• Physical Health: fitness programs, purchase of exercise equipment, and nutrition programs
• Emotional and/or Mental Health: peer support programs, a mental health counselor or psychologist, coping skills education, mindfulness training. • Other: financial literacy program, any other program which does not fall under physical health or emotional and/or mental health.
In this section, identify the area(s) of Program Focus in which the grant funds were applied. If funds were distributed across more than one area of Program Focus, select all that apply.
For each Program Focus area selected, three distinct types of information will be requested. These are:
• Program Description (Section 2)
• Wellness Measures (Section 3)
• Program Impact (Section 4)
You will need to complete Sections 2 – 4 for each Program Focus area identified in the item above. For example, if Physical Health and Other are selected as areas of Program Focus, the form will include fields to request information related to:
1) Program Description, Wellness Measures, and Program Impact for the “Physical Health” Program Focus area.
2) Program Description, Wellness Measures, and Program Impact for the “Other” Program Focus area.
11 - 10
If only one Program Focus area is selected, Sections 2 – 4 will only appear once which corresponds to the Program Focus area selected.
SECTION 2: PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The two questions under this section give you the opportunity to describe the program(s) implemented and corresponding goal(s) using the grant funds.
Provide a detailed description of how the grant program funds were used to improve officers’ [Physical Health; Mental and/or Emotional Health; Other].
When providing a description of the program(s) implemented, provide as much detail as possible including how it was designed to improve officer wellness, the duration of the program, and how it was implemented.
Identify at least one specific goal you planned to achieve with the use of the funds to improve officers’ [Physical Health; Mental and/or Emotional Health; Other].
Identify at least one goal for each program implemented. For example, if a peer support program was implemented, one goal could have been to reduce officer stress levels.
SECTION 3: WELLNESS MEASURES
The items in this section ask about how program effectiveness and impact were measured.
Selecting measures used to assess program effectiveness and impact This field provides a list of possible measures to assess the effectiveness and impact of the program(s). These are not required measures. Many of the measures listed are ones that are already collected by law enforcement agencies (e.g., sick days used, retention and recruiting rates). The measures selected should be ones that would be expected to change as a result of the wellness program and tie back to the goal(s) identified in the previous section. For example, if a peer support program was implemented, physical fitness measures, such as number of push-ups, would not be expected to change. However, it would be reasonable to expect that self-reported measures of stress would change after participating in the program. These measures are program/agency defined and measured.
Keep in mind, it is best practice to have multiple measures for each program; if you only select one, it may not be sensitive enough to detect the impact (e.g., if you implement a program to reduce stress, number of sick days used may not detect the effect, but selfreported levels of stress might, or vice versa). As such, agencies are encouraged to select and report more than one measure per program.
Indicating whether a pre-post assessment or control group was used to evaluate program effectiveness and impact
When evaluating program effectiveness, there are two common approaches: pre-post assessments and control groups. A different approach can be used for each measure 11 - 11
identified in the previous item. Identify which approach or approaches were used to evaluate possible differences in the measures. Below is a summary of the two approaches, including advantages and disadvantages of each.
Pre-post-assessment: measures are taken before the program starts and at least one more time either during the program or after program completion. The pre- and postmeasures are compared. • Example: A mindfulness training program was implemented to reduce anxiety in officers. Officers completed an anxiety assessment before the program started and again after completing the mindfulness training. If mindfulness was effective, anxiety levels should be lower after completing the training compared to before the training.
• Advantages
o Easy to implement, especially if using a measure that is already tracked, such as number of sick days used.
o Since it is the same individuals, there is no need to worry about differences in the measures due to individual variation (e.g., individuals who participate in the mindfulness program may have higher levels of anxiety than those who do not participate which is why they wanted to participate in the program).
• Disadvantages
o If measures are not collected or available before the program started, this approach cannot be used.
o Something unrelated to the program can happen after the training starts that can affect scores (e.g., an officer is shot on the job after the mindfulness program starts, it may lead to increased anxiety).
Control group: measures are taken at the end of the program for those who participated in the program, and those who did not enroll in the program. The two measures are compared.
• Example: a fitness program is implemented for some officers to increase strength. At the end of the fitness program, the number of sit-ups, push-ups, and pull-ups for each officer who participated is recorded. The number of sit-ups, push-ups, and pull-ups for officers who did not participate is recorded and compared to the numbers of those who did participate. If the fitness program was effective at increasing officers’ strength, those who participated should be able to do more sit-ups, push-ups, and pull-ups when compared to the officers who did not participate.
• Advantages
o Useful if unable or did not collect measures before program implementation
o Useful if the individuals in the two groups have similar characteristics 11 - 12
o Do not have to worry about an outside event occurring during the program that could affect the outcome because all measures are taken at the end of the program.
• Disadvantage
o Any differences between groups could be due to individual variation in the two groups (e.g., the officers who participated in the fitness program were already stronger than the officers who did not participate).
If using a pre-post assessment, indicate the time periods/duration being compared.
When using a pre-post assessment, measures need to be obtained, at a minimum, before the program starts and at the conclusion of the program. However, additional measures may be made throughout the duration of the program. Additional measures during the program may help to separate effects of an unrelated event, should that occur, from the effects of the program.
If using a control group method, describe the relevant characteristics of the individuals in the control group and those participating in the program.
To minimize the effect that individual variation may have on your group that participates and those in the control group, it can be beneficial to ensure that those individuals in the control group have similar characteristics to those participating in the program. For example, if a fitness program is being offered and the participants are more likely to work out regularly before the program starts, it may be beneficial to seek out individuals who regularly work out in the control group. Age and gender may be other factors that you want to be similar in your control group.
Describe how the above selected measures were expected to change based on the project implemented and the goal(s).
For this section, include a description of the measure, if it is not something commonly understood (e.g., if officers are asked to complete a stress assessment before and after the program, explain what the scores mean, such as a higher score indicates higher levels of stress). Below is an example of what a response may look like in this section. “The funds were spent to develop an exercise program within the department. The goal of this program was to improve the strength and physical fitness of officers. By having officers participate in the 6-month exercise program, it is expected that officers will be stronger and more physically fit. It is expected that the number of sit-ups, push-ups, and pull-ups will be higher after completing the exercise program when compared to the number of sit-ups, push-ups, and pull-ups before the program was implemented. It is also expected that officers will be able to run a mile more quickly at the end of the program relative to before the program was implemented.” SECTION 4: PROGRAM IMPACT
This section focuses on demonstrating the effectiveness and impact of the Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant funds.
11 - 13
Report the total number of officers who benefited from the [Physical Health; Mental and/or Emotional Health; Other] program.
This number should be an unduplicated count, in that if an officer attended three times, they are only reported once, not three times. If 45 officers attended peer support programs across the period of the grant, then report 45, not the number of support meetings they attended.
Report pre- and post- measures and/or treatment and control group measures.
For each of the measures selected above, report the pre- and post- measures or treatment group and control group measures in summary format. This could be:
• A total count, examples include
o The total number of new recruits in the year before and the year after the officer wellness program was implemented.
• An average, examples include
o The average number of sick days used in the year before and the year after the officer wellness program was implemented.
o The average level of stress on a standardized stress assessment before the officer wellness program was implemented and again six months after the program was implemented.
• A difference, examples include
o The difference between the number of sit-ups, pull-ups and push-ups officers can do after implementing a physical fitness program relative to before it started.
• A rate/percentage
o The retention rate increased 50% after implementing the officer wellness program.
• Any other metric(s) that you measured to assess the impact of the Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant funds.
Describe what you found (changes in measures), whether they demonstrate progress made towards goal(s).
Provide a written summary of what you reported in the previous item. Additionally, describe whether they demonstrate progress made towards the goal(s) identified. For example, if you found that the average stress level of officers was lower after a mindfulness training relative to before, you may conclude that the goal to reduce stress levels in officers was achieved by implementing the mindfulness program.
Provide possible explanations as to why progress was/was not made towards goal(s).
Based on the responses in the previous two questions, provide possible explanations for the finding(s). If progress was made toward achieving the goal(s), provide an explanation as to why (i.e., how did the Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant funds lead to the finding(s)).
11 - 14
If progress was not made toward achieving the goal(s), provide an explanation as to why the expected findings were not observed. Are there other factors that may have influenced the findings? For example, if the program was designed to reduce on-the-job stress levels, and there was an officer involved shooting shortly before stress levels were assessed the second time, it may affect the findings. Are there factors related to the evaluation of the program that may have impacted the findings, such as not enough time to fully assess the program impact or the measures selected may not have been sensitive enough to detect the change.
Describe any additional impacts beyond the measures identified that were observed, either formally or informally, as a result of the use of these funds.
These can be both positive and negative impacts. It is important to note both positive and negative impacts so positive impacts can be enhanced, and negative impacts can be addressed/eliminated in future iterations of the program.
SECTION 5: OVERALL IMPLEMENTATION EXPERIENCE
In this section, describe your overall experience with implementing the Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant program, regardless of the area(s) of Program Focus. Provide as much detail as possible. This information may be beneficial to other law enforcement agencies who are interested in implementing similar Officer Wellness programs.
Did your agency spend all of the Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant funds? This question requires a yes/no response. If you respond “No”, you will be asked to describe the challenges encountered that prevented your agency from spending the funds.
Did you have enough funds to implement the program you wish you could have? This question requires a yes/no response. Regardless of response, please provide a brief explanation of your answer to the question.
Describe the challenges encountered while implementing the Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant program, and how you overcame these challenges.
The response to this question should focus on the implementation challenges. Any challenges related to funding should be described in the previous two questions.
Provide any recommendations and lessons learned for other agencies who may consider implementing this type of program in the future.
Provide a detailed description of any recommendations and lessons learned through the implementation process of your officer wellness grant program, so that it can be shared with others who may implement similar programs. What do you wish someone had told you before you started this officer wellness program?
11 - 15
Describe your plans to continue to optimize the physical, emotional, and mental health of officers. Doe these plans include working with the California Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST)?
Provide a detailed description of how your agency plans to continue to ensure the physical, emotional, and mental health wellness of your officers.
SECTION 6: EXPENDITURE REPORT
As part of the Final Impact Report, agencies are required to submit an expenditure report detailing how the funding was used. An Expenditure Report Excel file will be provided to each agency which must be completed and attached to the Final Impact Report form. The form cannot be submitted without the Excel file attached. The Excel file contains two tabs; instructions for each of the tabs are provided below.
Advance Payment
This first tab is a summary page which includes the agency name, address, and the amount of grant funds received. Review this information to ensure its accuracy. The funds will be distributed in one advance payment, so the Grant Award Balance should be $0.
Invoice 1
The Invoice 1 tab allows grantees to enter data into the green-shaded fields. Only complete the green fields. For all fields reporting a dollar amount, round to the nearest whole dollar; do not enter decimals.
While there is no requirement to submit the proposed budget to the BSCC, it is best practice to establish a budget for a project prior to implementation. As such, the Budget column should be completed prior to implementing the Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant program. Include the dollar amount budgeted for each of the Line Items listed in the first column. If the Line Items are not relevant to your program, enter $0. As the dollar amounts are entered in the Budget column, a total should auto-calculate at the bottom of the budget column. The total amount budgeted should not exceed your grant award amount (except in instances where interest is earned on grant funds, see below). Additionally, Budget Line Item amounts should carry over to the Balance column, including the total.
At the conclusion of the project, the Expenditures for Reporting Period column should be completed. For each of the line items in the first column, report the actual amount spent in the Expenditures for Reporting Period column. These values will be subtracted from the Budget column and reflected in the Balance column. If all of the funds were used, the Total at the bottom of the Balance column should be zero, which will be reflected by a “-“ in that cell.
In instances where grant funds were placed into an interest-bearing account, any interest earned must be reported as Project Income on line 22. This will create a new total amount available for use which will be reflected in the far-right column of line 20. 11 - 16
The use of these funds must then be reported within the respective budget line item(s) for the Budget column and the Expenditures for Reporting Period column. If no interest was earned on grant funds, enter $0 for Project income on line 22.
Beginning on line 29 is the Expenditure Description section. For each dollar amount entered as an expenditure, enter a brief but detailed description. Your expenditures should correlate to the activities described in the Final Impact Report. You may provide additional information in the Comments field, if needed.
Beginning on line 39, the individual who prepared the invoice should be listed. The Authorized Financial Officer cannot prepare invoices. The individual who prepares invoices will provide their contact information and the date the invoice was prepared under the PERSON PREPARING REPORT section. Then, forward the Expenditure Report to the Authorized Financial Officer for review and approval.
The Authorized Financial Officer must review each line item expenditure and description. Then, approve the invoice by checking the certification box and providing their contact information and the date of approval.
Once the Expenditure Report has been approved by the Authorized Financial Officer, it should be attached to the Final Impact Report form and submitted with the completed form.

Agenda Report
DATE: November 15, 2023
FROM: Armine Chaparyan, City Manager ~
PREPARED BY: Brian Solinsky, Police Chief
Alison Wehrle, Management Analyst
ITEM NO.
SUBJECT: Consider Authorizing the Acceptance of a Grant Award in the Amount of $55,000 from the California Office of Traffic Safety for the Strategic Traffic Enforcement Program and Approve the Grant Agreement
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Accept a grant award in the amount of $55,000 from the California Office of Traffic Safety for the Strategic Traffic Enforcement Program into Revenue Account 101-0000- 0000-5073-001 and approve the Grant Agreement;
2. Appropriate $47,000 into 101-4010-4011-7050-000 Overtime - DUI Checkpoint and $8,000 into 101-4010-4011-8022 OTS Grant Expenses; and
3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary documents to accept the grant.
Background
In January 2023, the South Pasadena Police Department applied for and received a Strategic Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grant award from the California Office of Traffic Safety in the amount of $55,000 to provide additional traffic safety efforts to the City at no net cost.
The STEP grant would provide funding for an array of best practice strategies to impact traffic safety including training, community education, and strategic enforcement to promote bicycle, pedestrian, and motorist safety for all ages. In order to access funding, the South Pasadena Police Department was required to submit an application and proposed scope of work outlining the anticipated activities, approach, and budget. The fiscal year for the grant award is from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024.
Analysis
The California Office of Traffic Safety's STEP grant funding is specifically directed toward law enforcement traffic safety operations. Safe movement through cities is an ongoing high priority at both the state and local levels, particularly as South Pasadena has experienced a substantial impact as a result of increased local traffic. Following the construction of the Gold 12 - 2
California Office of Traffic Safety Strategic Traffic Enforcement Program Grant Award November 15, 2023
the number of community members and visitors opting to use bicycles and trains in lieu of vehicular travel. This grant award would support and enhance the South Pasadena Police Department's efforts to promote safe movement throughout the City. The STEP grant program would be implemented and administered by the South Pasadena Police Department in three phases:
• Phase one consists of the creation of operational plans, training, and a press release announcing the grant award.
• Under phase two, the South Pasadena Police Department would begin conducting various traffic safety operations, including bicycle and pedestrian enforcement operations, Driving Under the Influence (DUI) saturation patrols, DUI check points, distracted driving operations, traffic enforcement operations, and motorcycle safety operations. • Phase three would consist of data collection, analysis, and comparison of the grant performance measures against actual grant enforcement and educational goals.
Additionally, the grant funding would support two DUI checkpoints, nine DUI saturation patrols, and two presentations regarding traffic safety, along with other traffic enforcement efforts. Campaigns include participation in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Summer and Winter Mobilization to effectively address DUI drivers; participation in the annual National Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April 2024; and participation in the annual Click It or Ticket mobilization period in May 2024. With this grant, the goal is to utilize education and enforcement strategies to provide enhanced roadway safety for residents and visitors to the City of South Pasadena while ultimately reducing the number of persons killed or injured in all categories of traffic collisions.
Fiscal Impact
The City of South Pasadena will receive an award in the amount of $55,000 from the Office of Traffic Safety for the Strategic Traffic Enforcement Program. No local matching funds are required. Staff is requesting an appropriation of $47,000 into 101-4010-4011-7050-000 Overtime - DUI Checkpoint and $8,000 into 101-4010-4011-8022 OTS Grant Expenses.
Commission Review and Recommendation
This matter was not reviewed by a Commission.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The City of South Pasadena is located in the west San Gabriel Valley in Los Angeles County. The city encompasses 3.4 square miles and is home to approximately 26,000 residents. Though predominately a residential city, South Pasadena lies in between several major freeway systems, including Highway 134, Highway 60, 110 Parkway, and the 210, 710, and 10 freeways. There are multiple major surface arterial streets that bisect the city and connect these freeway systems together, increasing the volume of commuter traffic. A 2014 traffic flow study conducted by Minagar and Associates showed that the daytime population increased to approximately 138,000, a population increase of over 112,000 members (See attached daily traffic flow map).
Though there are minor fluctuations in the volume of reported incidents between 2016-2022, there is a persistent trend that indicates that traffic-related incidents continue to pose a significant issue within the City.
The number of non-injury crashes, DUI arrests, and citations issued shows that traffic enforcement, education, and engineering are areas that need to be continuously addressed. In 2020, officers issued 3,599 citations and made 34 DUI arrests; comparatively, in 2021, officers issued 2,833 citations and made 33 DUI arrests. Citation and DUI arrest numbers for 2022 are temporarily unavailable due to an upgrade in the CAD/RMS system
Between 2020-2021, there was an average of one fatal traffic crash a year. In 2020, there were three fatal traffic crashes, and two involved motorcyclists exceeding the speed limit. In 2022, there was one fatal crash between a vehicle and a pedestrian. Two other pedestrians were injured during this crash. Commercial trucks utilize the main corridors in South Pasadena to conduct business, which can add additional enforcement needs. Even though the City of South Pasadena has adequate signage designating truck routes, the need for more enforcement is present to preserve the integrity of our roadways. The South Pasadena Police Department intends to educate commuters through enforcement within the geographic areas and time frames shown to have the highest volume of reported incidents. By focusing on these areas, the city hopes to reduce injury crashes and increase driver safety awareness. In 2021, The South Pasadena Police Department handled 28,010 calls for service. Our average staffing levels at the time consisted of three patrol officers and one supervisor.

6. Send law enforcement personnel to the Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) training.
7. Send law enforcement personnel to the DRE Recertification training.
8. Conduct DUI/DL Checkpoints. A minimum of 1 checkpoint should be conducted during the NHTSA Winter Mobilization and 1 during the Summer Mobilization. To enhance the overall deterrent effect and promote high visibility, it is recommended the grantee issue an advance press release and conduct social media activity for each checkpoint. For combination DUI/DL checkpoints, departments should issue press releases that mention DL's will be checked at the DUI/DL checkpoint. Signs for DUI/DL checkpoints should read "DUI/Driver's License Checkpoint Ahead." OTS does not fund or support independent DL checkpoints. Only on an exception basis and with OTS pre-approval will OTS fund checkpoints that begin prior to 1800 hours. When possible, DUI/DL Checkpoint screeners should be DRE- or ARIDE-trained.

3. METHOD OF PROCEDURE
A. Phase 1 – Program Preparation (1st Quarter of Grant Year) The department will develop operational plans to implement the “best practice” strategies outlined in the objectives section.
All training needed to implement the program should be conducted in the first quarter. All grant related purchases needed to implement the program should be made in the first quarter. In order to develop/maintain the “DUI BOLOs,” research will be conducted to identify the “worst of the worst” repeat DUI offenders with a suspended or revoked license as a result of DUI convictions. The DUI BOLO may include the driver’s name, last known address, DOB, description, current license status, and the number of times suspended or revoked for DUI. DUI BOLOs should be updated and distributed to traffic and patrol officers at least monthly. 12 - 8
8/16/2023 3:27:13 PM Page 5 of 15
Implementation of the STEP grant activities will be accomplished by deploying personnel at high crash locations.
Media Requirements Issue a press release approved by the OTS PIO announcing the kick-off of the grant by November 15, but no sooner than October 1. The kick-off release must be approved by the OTS PIO and only distributed after the grant is fully signed and executed. If you are unable to meet the November 15 deadline to issue a kick-off press release, communicate reasons to your OTS coordinator and OTS PIO.
N/A
B. Phase 2 – Program Operations (Throughout Grant Year) The department will work to create media opportunities throughout the grant period to call attention to the innovative program strategies and outcomes.
Media Requirements
The following requirements are for all grant-related activities:
Send all media advisories, alerts, videos, graphics, artwork, posters, radio/PSA/video scripts, storyboards, digital and/or print educational materials for grant-related activities to the OTS PIO at [email protected] for approval and copy your OTS coordinator. Optimum lead time would be 7 days before the scheduled release but at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date for review and approval is appreciated.
The OTS PIO is responsible for the approval of the design and content of materials. The agency understands OTS PIO approval is not authorizing approval of budget expenditure or cost. Any cost approvals must come from the Coordinator.
Pre-approval is not required when using any OTS-supplied template for media advisories, press releases, social media graphics, videos or posts, or any other OTS-supplied educational material.
However, copy the OTS PIO at [email protected] and your OTS coordinator when any material is distributed to the media and public, such as a press release, educational material, or link to social media post. The OTS-supplied kick-off press release templates and any kickoff press releases are an exception to this policy and require prior approval before distribution to the media and public.
If an OTS-supplied template, educational material, social media graphic, post or video is substantially changed, the changes shall be sent to the OTS PIO at [email protected] for approval and copy to your OTS Coordinator. Optimum lead time would be 7 days prior to the scheduled release date, but at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date for review and approval is appreciated.
Press releases, social media posts and alerts on platforms such as NextDoor and Nixle reporting immediate and time-sensitive grant activities (e.g. enforcement operations, day of event highlights or announcements, event invites) are exempt from the OTS PIO approval process. The OTS PIO and your Coordinator should still be notified when the grant-related activity is happening (e.g. car seat checks, bicycle rodeos, community presentations, DUI checkpoints, etc.).
Enforcement activities such as warrant and probation sweeps, court stings, etc. that are embargoed or could impact operations by publicizing in advance are exempt from the PIO approval process. However, announcements and results of activities should still be copied to the OTS PIO at [email protected] and your Coordinator with embargoed date and time or with “INTERNAL ONLY: DO NOT RELEASE” message in subject line of email. Any earned or paid media campaigns for TV, radio, digital or social media that are part of a specific grant objective, using OTS grant funds, or designed and developed using contractual services by a subgrantee, requires prior approval. Please send to the OTS PIO at [email protected] for approval and copy your grant coordinator at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date.
Social media posts highlighting state or national traffic safety campaigns (Distracted Driving Month, Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, etc.), enforcement operations (DUI checkpoints, etc.), or any other grant-related activity such as Bicycle rodeos, presentations, or events, are highly encouraged but do not require prior approval.
Submit a draft or rough-cut of all digital, printed, recorded or video material (brochures, posters, scripts, artwork, trailer graphics, digital graphics, social posts connected to an earned or paid 12 - 9
8/16/2023 3:27:13 PM Page 6 of 15
media campaign grant objective) to the OTS PIO at [email protected] and copy your OTS Coordinator for approval prior to the production or duplication. Use the following standard language in all press, media, and printed materials, space permitting:
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Space permitting, include the OTS logo on all grant-funded print materials, graphics and paid or earned social media campaign grant objective; consult your OTS Coordinator for specifics, format-appropriate logos, or if space does not permit the use of the OTS logo. Email the OTS PIO at [email protected] and copy your OTS Coordinator at least 21 days in advance, or when first confirmed, a short description of any significant grant-related traffic safety event or program, particularly events that are highly publicized beforehand with anticipated media coverage so OTS has sufficient notice to arrange for attendance and/or participation in the event.
If unable to attend, email the OTS PIO and coordinator brief highlights and/or results, including any media coverage (broadcast, digital, print) of event within 7 days following significant grantrelated event or program. Media and program highlights are to be reflected in QPRs. Any press releases, work plans, scripts, storyboards, artwork, graphics, videos or any educational or informational materials that received PIO approval in a prior grant year needs to be resubmitted for approval in the current grant year.
Contact the OTS PIO or your OTS Coordinator for consultation when changes from any of the above requirements might be warranted.

City Council
Agenda Report
DATE: November 15, 2023
FROM: Armine Chaparyan, City Manager~
ITEM NO.
PREPARED BY: Angelica Frausto-Lupo, Community Development Director --
SUBJECT: Consideration of the Approval of the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Moore lacofano
Goltsman, Inc. for Updated Property Data and Maps in an Amount not-to-Exceed $15,000
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council consider the approval of the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Moore lacofano Goltsman, Inc. for additional technical services for property development and zoning data, analysis, and mapping in the amount of $15,000 for a new not-to-exceed amount of $44,250.
Executive Summary
The City entered into a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Moore lacofano Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) for zoning text amendments and mapping related to the rezoning programs required as part of the 6th Cycle Housing Element implementation. The initial contract amount was $29,250. However, on September 27, 2023, City Council opted not to move forward with the proposed density increases in the residential medium density (RM) and residential high density (RH) zones in order to further review available development capacity of the City's residential zones. Consequently, additional technical support is needed to conduct a detailed analysis of the existing development characteristics and densities and analyze available development capacity of all of the City's residential zones. This information will assist with the implementation of the Housing Element.
Background
The City's 6th Cycle 2021-2029 Housing Element was adopted by the City Council on May 30, 2023. As part of the Housing Element implementation, Zoning Code and Zoning Map amendments were needed to implement Housing Element policy related to the sites inventory and creating capacity to satisfy the City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation. The City's rezoning efforts were required to be completed within 120 days of adoption of the Housing Element and MIG successfully completed their assignments enabling the City to meet its deadline. MIG will continue its engagement to provide technical data and mapping support.

MIG, Inc. PSA First Amendment
November 15, 2023
Analysis
As stated above, MIG will be engaged to provide additional technical data and mapping support. MIG is a consulting firm with offices throughout the United States, a majority of which are in California. They are technical experts in community planning and other related disciplines. As such, they have in-house planners, GIS technicians, and data analysts that are available to model and test development standards, write technical zoning codes, and determine what needs adjusting (zoning code and zoning map) and to what degree to accommodate identified densities.
Fiscal Impact
The First Amendment to the MIG, Inc. PSA includes a contract amount of $15,000 for a new not-to-exceed amount of $44,250. Funding for zoning data and maps was included in the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Community Development Department Budget under Professional Services Account Number 101-7010-7011-8170-000.
Key Performance Indicators and Strategic Plan
The re-zoning program is a critical component of the City's adopted Housing Element and new General Plan. Housing is foundational to the implementation of most of the City's 2021-2026 Strategic Plan goals: 2) Economic Development, 3) Public Safety, 4) Infrastructure, and 5) Housing.
Commission Review and Recommendation
This matter was not reviewed by a commission or board.

EXHIBIT A
Scope of Services
MIG will provide the following scope of services. Please note that each task identified may not occur in the order presented in this scope, as tasks may occur simultaneously. This scope reflects our discussion with you regarding the anticipated Zoning Code and Zoning Map amendments needed to implement Housing Element policy related to the sites inventory and creating capacity to satisfy the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). Based on our discussions, these assumptions are:
■ Any rezoning required within the Downtown Specific Plan area will not be part of MIG's work scope; it will be undertaken in a parallel process by others. ■ In 1998, the City significantly reduced allowable densities in the multi-family residential zones (RM and RH). This amendment effort will reverse that action and restore densities to 35 units/acre for RM and 45 units/acre for RH.
■ MIG will need to adjust the development standards for the RM and RH zones to implement the target densities and make sure they work to produce quality projects. ■ Through a contract with SCAG, AECOM is preparing objective design standards (ODS) that will apply in South Pasadena. MIG will need to ensure that the ODS and new development standards work in tandem to implement Housing Element policy. We assume that the ODS materials will be available when the work gets started.
■ Commercial nodes outside of the Downtown Specific Plan will need to allow for mixed-use developments at a density of up to 70 units/acre. The standards will mirror those in the specific plan, which have already been prepared. However, the standards may need to be slightly adjusted to reflect any unique conditions in the Focus Areas where they apply. ■ Parking standards may require adjusting; however, because many of the areas affected by the rezoning lie within one-half mile of the L Line light rail station, the provisions of AB 2097 will limit the City's ability to impose parking requirements.
■ The City does not have GIS shapefiles for the Zoning Map. MIG will create the map based on parcel data we acquire from Los Angeles County and then code with the appropriate zoning districts shown on the official paper Zoning Map. Alternatively, the City's General Plan consultant may be able to provide the GIS shapefiles.
While the Housing Element contains other policies that will be implemented through Zoning Code updates, this effort will focus only on the above. Other policy directives, for example, includes repealing the 45-foot-height limit (requires a voter referendum), revising the inclusionary housing ordinance, and streamlining administrative procedures.

Task 1: Project Management and Coordination
1.1: Kick-Off Meeting
MIG Principal Lisa Brownfield, Jose Rodriguez, and Allison Cook will conduct a teleconference with City staff to clarify available information and your expectations regarding the amendments and schedule.
Objectives for the call include:
■ Understand the City's expectations and requirements
■ Establish primary contact and preferred methods for communication ■ Discuss the work scope and schedule
■ Identify GIS resources
1.2: Project Coordination Meetings (allowance)
This task involves strategic planning meetings/phone calls between MIG and City staff as needed. The budget provides an allowance for coordination meetings.
1.3: Project Management
This subtask provides for contract administration, invoicing, scheduling, coordination with the project team, and quality control/assurance.
Task 1 Meetings and Deliverables
Kick-off meeting
Project coordination meetings {budgeted allowance)
Monthly invoices
Task 2: Prepare Administrative Draft and Hearing Draft Zoning Code Amendments The Housing Element establishes the densities to be achieved in the RM, RH, and mixed-use zoning districts. The mixed-use zoning will be implemented via an overlay district or corresponding zone within Focus Areas (outside of the Downtown Specific Plan area). Thus, our effort will focus on drafting development standards that work to achieve these densities and work in concert with the ODS to be provided by the City (prepared by AECOM).
Using the version of the South Pasadena Zoning Code available online from Code Publishing, the ODS, and the draft Downtown Specific Plan mixed-use standards, MIG will prepare administrative draft Zoning Code amendments for Division 36.220 (Residential Zoning Districts), Division 36.230 (Commercial Zoning Districts), and Division 36.250 (Overlay Zoning Districts).
To accommodate the new RM and RH densities, changes may be needed to the following development standards:
■ Minimum lot area
■ Setbacks
DocuSign Envelope ID: 90C280E0-78D6-4AFF-A7AE-5D8A4C5AD6F8 13 - 22
■ Floor area ratio
■ Multiple story exception
■ Height limit adjacent to street
■ Open space
■ Parking
MIG's planners will work with our in-house designers and architects to model and test what standards need adjusting and to what degree to accommodate the densities and reflect the ODS. Options will be shared with City staff to assist with selecting the appropriate new standards.
Regarding the mixed-use standards, City staff has indicated that those standards should mirror those that have been drafted for the Downtown Specific Plan. We will want to test those to ensure they work for the housing sites identified in the Housing Element outside of the specific plan area. If needed, we will tweak those standards to reflect any conditions unique to the Focus Areas.
We will prepare complete administrative drafts of the code sections using Word's track changes function to clearly identify the draft changes. City staff will review and edit the administrative draft, also using track changes and comments to indicate edits. All City comments will be consolidated and resolved in a single document to be provided to MIG.
Following receipt of City staff comments, MIG will revise the administrative draft to produce a public hearing draft. Given the short time frame available to complete this work program, we have not included an interim draft to be shared with the Planning Commission in a study session format.
Task 2 Deliverables
One electronic copy {Word and pd/) of the Administrative Draft code amendments for City review One electronic copy (Word and pd/} of the Public Hearing Draft code amendments for City review Task 3: Prepare Administrative Draft and Hearing Draft Zoning Map Amendments The Zoning Map will need to be amended to accommodate the RHNA commitment. The map below identifies the required rezoning areas.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 90C280E0-78D6-4AFF-A7AE-5D8A4C5AD6F8 13 - 23
The new Zoning Map must
be parcel specific. The City
has indicated that it does
not have a G IS-based
Zoning Map, so we will
need to prepare one to
identify zoning at the
parcel level and allow for
easier identification (by
APN) of the parcels to be
rezoned. MIG will either
obtain the necessary GIS
layers from Los Angeles
County or the City's GIS
consultant to build the
base map and create the
current Zoning Map from paper map data. We will then prepare the new map and provide an exhibit showing which parcels will be rezoned.
The level of effort to create the existing Zoning Map can be eased and costs reduced if the City's prior Housing Element consultant prepared a GIS-based Zoning Map and can provide that GIS data to the City.
MIG will prepare an administrative draft Zoning Map to City staff for review. We will make revisions per staff direction and create the public hearing draft Zoning Map.
The City will need to identify property owners whose properties are planned to be rezoned. We will provide the City the list of affected APNs, indicating the existing and proposed zoning districts.
Task 3 Deliverables
Administrative Draft Zoning Map (pdf for review)
Public hearing Draft Zoning Map (pdf)
Task 4: Public Hearings - Optional
If requested by City staff, MIG can attend public hearings to present materials and respond to questions.
Other optional tasks include preparing hearing resolutions, ordinances, and staff reports. For cost control purposes, we have not included thes tasks in the budget.
Task 4 Deliverables
Optional- Prepare presentation for hearings

Task 5: Final Zoning Code and Zoning Map Changes
5.1: Final Code and Map
We have budgeted an allowance of MIG staff time to prepare any revisions to the Code and Map amendments to reflect Planning Commission recommendations to the City Council for the first reading of the ordinance. We assume that City staff will make any final changes in response to City Councl action.
Task S Deliverables
Code and Map amendments with Planning Commission revisions/recommendations (Word and pdf) Final Zoning Map GIS layers (ArcG/5)

ITEM NO.
SUBJECT: Approval of the 2024 City Council Meeting Schedule Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the City Council meeting schedule for the 2024 calendar year.
Executive Summary
The South Pasadena City Council adheres to a bi-monthly meeting schedule as established by Resolution No. 7716, with provisions for schedule adjustments as needed.
For 2024, tentative meeting cancellations are identified for January 3, July 3, and August 7 to accommodate city breaks and significant events, with special sessions to be arranged if required. The most recent amendments to the 2023 schedule were adopted on July 19, 2023, after consultation with the Mayor and City Council, ensuring that any future changes will undergo a similar process of consideration and approval by the Council.
Background
In accordance with Resolution No. 7716 of South Pasadena, the City Council convenes on the first and third Wednesday of each month. The Closed Session commences at 6:00 p.m., followed by the Open Session at 7:00 p.m. This routine scheduling facilitates forward planning for the City Council, municipal staff, and our residents throughout the year. Nonetheless, the City Council retains the discretion to modify this schedule, including the cancellation or addition of meetings as circumstances warrant.
Looking ahead to 2024, we have identified a preliminary schedule of meetings that may be subject to cancellation:
• January 3, 2024: Due to the City's winter recess beginning on Friday, December 23, 2022, and extending until Tuesday, January 3, 2023, there will be insufficient time to prepare and disseminate a complete agenda. Should there be a pressing requirement for a meeting, the staff is prepared to organize a special session during the second week of January.
14 - 2
Approval of 2024 City Council Meeting Schedule
November 15, 2023 Page 2 of 2
• July 3, 2024: The City staff will be fully engaged in the lead-up to the Fourth of July festivities, leaving inadequate time to arrange for the customary City Council Meeting on July 3rd. However, we will be poised to convene a special City Council meeting on Wednesday, July 10, 2024, if it becomes necessary. • August 7, 2024: Following the guidance issued at the City Council meeting on June 19, 2013, the first meeting in August is slated for cancellation, barring a specific requirement for addressing City matters.
The proposed cancellations ensure that City operations are conducted efficiently while accommodating significant local events and observances. Any updates or changes to this schedule will be communicated promptly to ensure all stakeholders are informed.
Analysis
The latest revisions to the 2023 City Council meeting schedule were ratified on July 19, 2023, following consultations with the Mayor and City Council members. Should there be a need for further adjustments to the meeting calendar, such proposals will be presented to the City Council for review and decision-making at the appropriate time.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.

Executive Summary
At the May 3, 2023 City Council Meeting, City staff proposed the installation of electric vehicle charger stations through the SCE Charge Ready Program in the Arroyo Park parking lot south of Burke, Clarich, and Nelson Baseball Fields. The Council decided to not proceed with the charger installation, largely due to the lack of protection of the devices in the open space. The Council recommended that City staff reconsider the approach of the project. City staff is now proposing the installation of two (2) electric SCE Charge Ready Transport Agreement and Award to Rexel Energy Solutions / ChargePoint

vehicle chargers at the secure City
Storage Yard, also referred to as the
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
Station, exclusively for the purpose of
charging City electric vehicles,
including utility trucks, buses/vans,
and other vehicles. If the Council
decides to move forward with this
opportunity, the SCE Charge Ready
program requires the City to enter into
a 10-year agreement, where the City
procures, installs, and maintains the
chargers, while SCE funds and installs
the electrical infrastructure
(transformers, service wiring/conduits,
panels and wiring, and meters) along
with Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) improvements to support the
chargers. The agreement also requires
that the City purchase five (5) mediumto-heavy duty electric vehicles over the next ten years, of which several vehicles are already budgeted by the City for purchase this year. The infrastructure would be owned and maintained by SCE, and the City would grant SCE an easement through the yard area. In order to meet SCE’s minimum cost-benefit of electrical support infrastructure, the City’s commitment to install two (2) chargers and purchase five (5) electric vehicles (over ten years) is required. The chargers must be powered from SCE’s electrical system (not solar or battery) and must be selected from SCE’s approved product list. The SCE agreement (Attachment 1) includes certain indemnification, liability, early termination costs, demand response, data collection/reporting, and network service provider requirements. The accepted conceptual installation plan for the City Storage Yard is included as Attachment 3.
The total purchase price for the EVSE and related services for the City Storage Yard is $24,081, including estimated tax and shipping, but not including applicable SCE ChargeReady rebates in the amount of $3,400 intended to offset the maintenance, networking, and warranty costs associated with owning and operating Level 2 charging equipment, that will applied after installation. The proposed EVSE includes two (2) ChargePoint CP6021B-80A electric vehicle dual output chargers and two (2) bollard concrete mounting kits. The EVSE are bollard mounted with installed gateways, 208/240 Volt at 80 Amperes with 23-foot cords per port.
The related services include an initial one-year Commercial Cloud management plan, initial one-year Assure warranty and technical support plan, and activation, configuration, and validation charges. The quotation and purchase order is included as Attachment 2.

Background
The Climate Action Plan identifies electric vehicle conversion initiatives as ‘high cost’ goals due to the significant infrastructure investments required. Therefore, in 2021, City staff began pursuing project and funding opportunities to implement electrification infrastructure at various locations in the City. In this effort, City staff worked with Southern California Edison (SCE) to identify assistance programs to implement electrical infrastructure at relatively low cost and substantial benefit to the City. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued a decision adopted on September 2, 2020 approving SCE’s Charge Ready program. The decision approved the 4-year program and $436 million in funding, comprised of approximately $417.5 million for charging infrastructure, $14.5 million for marketing, education, and outreach, and $4.3 million for an evaluation of the Charge Ready infrastructure and market education programs. The Charge Ready program supports both local air-quality requirements and California greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals, including a 40% reduction of GHG emissions from 1990 levels by 2030 and an 80% reduction by 2050. The program provides financial and technical assistance to expand the charging infrastructure available for electric vehicles, where SCE non-residential customers apply for EV charger installation assistance for specific sites with SCE accounts. SCE is generally responsible for designing and installing the supporting infrastructure (transformers, service wiring/conduits, and meters), and participants are generally responsible for the selection, purchase, and installation of the charging equipment.
For the City Storage Yard installations, the City has selected a ‘Make-Ready SCE-Built’ program option where SCE, at their cost, installs the customer-side equipment including charger electrical panels, conduits, and wires, in lieu of the City procuring its own contractor to install equipment. At present, the program does not support the installation of DC Fast Charging (DCFC) or Level 3 chargers, and only Level 2 chargers are being considered.
Analysis
SCE has prepared a participation agreement for the City to review (Attachment 1). If approved, the City must procure the necessary chargers and two of the vehicles and provide proof of procurement to SCE. SCE will then develop the preliminary design and site plans for the project, which the City must accept – then permitting, design, and construction may began. To participate, the City must grant SCE an easement and install the charging equipment. Once the systems are installed as proposed, the City would then request applicable incentive rebates offered by SCE. From agreement execution, the process is expected to take about 12 months.

The most significant cost benefit available to the City is the funding and installation of the necessary transformers, electrical panels, meters, and service wiring/conduits for Level 2 charging infrastructure by Southern California Edison, if the City agrees to operate and maintain the system for ten (10) years, with monthly monitoring, and purchase five (5) medium-to-heavy duty vehicles over the ten (10) years. The value of this SCE-funded design and construction
work is estimated around
$50,000. The City is
responsible for installing
the chargers and charger
pedestals. This initial
investment is priced at
approximately $30,000,
which is within the $50,000
that has been appropriated
from the General Fund by
the City Council in the adoption of the annual Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget. Each charger port would require network services for monitoring purposes which is included in this cost. SCE offers a rebate program for these chargers at $1,700 per charger, which would reduce the total cost by $3,400 for the initial purchase and installation.
Charger Selection
In accordance with the proposed SCE Charge
Ready Transport Program Participation
Agreement, the City must select qualifying
charging equipment from SCE’s Charge Ready
Transport Program Approved Product List (APL).
The APL includes equipment that meets SCE’s
technical requirements to operate within the
specifications of SCE installed equipment and the
Charge Ready Program monitoring protocols.
The APL includes over 170 EVSE models, and
therefore, in partnership with SCE staff’s
technical advisement and the City’s electrification
consultant, the City established evaluation criteria
to select the appropriate equipment. In addition
to the APL listing, the City desires manufacturer
and model consistency across its other
installation sites, meaning the system should
include similar equipment to the Police, Fire, and
City/Public lot locations. The devices must be
equipped with a gateway modem for interconnectivity, for which an integrated gateway device is preferred, and meet the electrical specifications identified in the accepted Example ChargePoint dual port EV charger
shown with conceptual City branding
