The Youth Assistance Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) organization with tax exempt status based in Stanton committed to the community especially its youngest members. Our organization has been working tirelessly to provide support for the children and families in the City of Stanton. Our small nonprofit is run by a small, dedicated group of individuals who work tirelessly to bring joy to the youngest members of this city. Each year we provide scholarships to local high school seniors who are going to pursue careers in the areas of social services, medicine, teaching, law enforcement and the arts. We are also committed to supporting our community in bringing people together. We have supported Women's Day, the City Art Exhibit where we provide $500 in prize money and the community garden at Western High School.
The Youth Assistance Foundation is writing to apply for the City Sponsorship of our annual Santa's Siren Express This year the event will take place on Sunday December 18 from 9 am to 5 pm. This event is held each year on the Sunday before Christmas and the City has always given invaluable support through providing staff, 2 vehicles and coordination. With the cooperation and support of the City of Stanton, Santa and his helpers give toys to approximately 1000 children ages Oto 15 years each year.
As part of the sponsorship we are asking the city for support of the following:
1. A truck to transport 2 tables, 2 chairs, 2 canopies and 20 delineators, and the city van to carry volunteers.
2. 4 staff members from Community Services. 2 staff members to assist in the morning from 8 to 1pm, and another two staff members to work the second shift from 1pm to 6pm. Staff will drive truck and van.
3. We request permission to use the City name and logo in our materials for this event.
4. We request 2 No Parking Signs for each of the 5 neighborhoods where we will hand out toys, put up 48 hours in advance of the event.
5. We request permission to ask the Sheriff's department to have 2 officers attend the event as a way to promote community policing.
6. We also request permission to reach out to OCFA to get a firetruck to join us on the day of the event to transport Santa. We understand that if there is a call for service, the fire truck will have to respond.
Please find attached the schedule for the day of the event as well as a sample flyer that we give out in each neighborhood that we visit and our volunteer release and waiver form.
Please know that we are deeply grateful for the support of the City of Stanton. Your help allows us to continue the tradition of Santa's Siren that was begun by Jim Nelson over 24 years ago.

1 CITY OF STANTON
REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: November 8, 2022
SUBJECT: CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENTS FOR PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES – COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
REPORT IN BRIEF:
City Council will consider authorizing the City Manager to execute two on-call Contract Agreements with qualified firms on behalf of the Community and Economic Development Department for building services. The Community and Economic Development Department utilizes these services to accomplish its annual goals as defined by the City Council in the approved annual Operating Budget.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. City Council declare the action not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and will have no result direct or indirect to physical changes in the environment; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a three-year Contract Services Agreement, with two additional one-year extensions, with CSG Consultants to provide Building and Safety Services including on-call, as needed plan check, inspection and Building Official Services; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a three-year Contract Services Agreement, with two additional one-year extensions, with Bureau Veritas to provide Building and Safety Services including on-call, as needed plan check, inspection and Building Official Services.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s Community and Economic Development Department consists of four divisions – Building and Safety, Planning, Economic Development and Housing – and performs a variety of services intended to protect, maintain and develop an attractive, safe and healthy environment for residents and the business community. In order to provide the needs for the Building Division, the City has been contracting services with Charles Abbott and Associates to provide plan checking, field inspection and Building Official staffing from November 2014 thru October 2022.
Item: 6E
Click here to return to the agenda.
2 The use of on-call agreements is an efficient way to provide for technical staff support and reduce the time needed to identify qualified firms while adhering to the City’s purchasing policies. This strategy allows the City to quickly respond on an as-needed basis and to control costs as workloads and demand fluctuates in response to development and project activity.
The City is experiencing a high level of development and construction activity. The building services provided to the development community, business community and residents of Stanton are a high priority and need to reflect the values of the community.
How to provide these services must take into consideration technical capabilities, efficiency, effectiveness, as well as the quality of service, continuity of staff and costs related to the building services for Stanton.
The City issued an RFP on August 31, 2021, to solicit proposals from interested firms.
On September 22, 2021, the City received ten proposals and subsequently conducted interviews to identify the most qualified and responsive firm. During this review staff brought a recommendation for consideration of the Council to bring a full-time inspector position in-house to improve the relationships and services provided to the development and residential community. The Council approved this position and the 2022/23 Budget includes the fully burdened costs for the Building Inspector position.
ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:
The City has continued to evaluate and determine the needs of the community and in September 2022 asked all firms to confirm their availability and interest in serving the Stanton community as well as to update their proposals to include Public Works development inspections and finally to confirm their prices given the time lapse in the initial proposals and the final consideration.
A total of eight firms provided responsive proposals. City staff reviewed the proposals, evaluated the expertise, qualified staff and pricing provided and the following ranking shows the outcome of that review. Staff is recommending that the City enter into on-call agreements with the top two responsive firms, CSG Consulting and Bureau Veritas and immediately engage the services of CSG Consulting to meet the on-call Building Official, Plan Checking, and as-needed Building and Public Works Inspection demand. 3 FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for professional on-call services is budgeted in the current FY2022-23 Community and Economic Development Department operating budget by a percentage of the permit and plan check fees collected by the development applications received.
The in-house inspector position is also funded with the revenue collected by building permit fees. As outlined in the table above, costs will be relative to the volume of work and would be augmented by the fees received. No impact to the General Fund is anticipated.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
In accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, this action is not a project.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
Public notice for this item was made through the regular agenda process.

Development Review & Entitlement Processing
Accurate, timely civil engineering plan, and final map reviews facilitating land development projects requires a strong publicprivate partnership. Project momentum must be balanced with engineering, water quality, traffic, public safety, and final map plans that comply with applicable codes, requirements, and design standards. The various parties need impartial counsel from registered engineers and land surveyors with a quick turnaround of review comments. Development review and entitlement processing involves working seamlessly with the public agency and developer in the preliminary planning stages.
This facilitates development agreements along with the review of civil engineering plans and maps for conformance including conditions of approval along with local and other applicable ordinances and standards. All work will be performed under the direction of our registered Civil Engineers or Land Surveyors. BV utilizes proven best practices, staff specialists, and comprehensive web-based tools to provide timely review, responsiveness, and accurate and detailed review comments.
Flood/Floodplain Management

within the designated floodplain. The firm will review
plans for compliance with federal, state, and local adopted regulations and practices. Plan checks will consider FIRM map designations, Flood Plain Elevation Certificate review, and also consider any LOMA, LOMR, or CLOMR’s appropriately
approved for the proposed project. Flood plain resistant construction will be plan checked and inspected in
accordance with adopted regulations and standards as well as pertinent FEMA Technical Bulletins.

and §66450 of the Subdivision Map Act.

PLAN REVIEW METHODOLOGY
BV’s proposed team familiarizes themselves with the
requirements of a public agency before beginning a review.
The firm has extensive public sector experience, which assures the public’s interests are fully protected. BV believes technical competence, while expected, is not enough. Experience with thorough examinations of issues and impacts is needed in addition to the purely technical considerations. The firm has devoted a great deal of time and effort over the years to refining its approach and developing documentation to assist clients and train staff in understanding plan review procedures.
BV will work to ensure submittals are properly coordinated and tracked by following an established internal plan check coordination process in which each plan received for review is entered into the firm’s Protrack database, processed, and returned on time to the client. BV’s plan tracking procedures are designed to track each submittal throughout the review process and maintain accurate and comprehensive records for each submittal.
To accomplish this the firm will:
• Screen and log each application to assure they are
routed to all plan reviewers in a timely manner.
• Submittals are reviewed for compliance with all relevant state and City requirements. The log serves as a tracking device to assure turnaround times and completeness of the review. • Plan reviews will be done in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations with which local jurisdictions are mandated to enforce as well as the codes and ordinances in effect by adoption at the time of plan review. Preliminary consultations will be provided to the applicant upon request, to assist and guide them in the design and plans preparation process. • Information shown on each permit application is verified.
Construction valuation is based on information provided by the City and compared to estimates provided by the applicant. • Provide a thorough architectural and structural review of design drawings and details for compliance with the California Building Code architectural provisions, including provisions for safety glazing, building security, and noise insulation performance standards, to name a few. These reviews can also be performed on revisions to plans which have previously been approved for permit issuance.
• Plan review management
• BV assures corrections are handled as quickly and as clearly as possible. The firm’s goal is to help the applicant through the plan review process. All corrections are identified based on compliance with specified codes and regulations.
Generally, corrections are identified in two ways. Notes are made on plans during electronic review or on hard copy plans, if appropriate, and a correction sheet is generated detailing what items need to be addressed before plans can be approved. The City shall approve the development of any customized correction sheets. Correction sheets for specific projects shall be forwarded to the City along with a cover memo containing at least the following:
• The date(s) plans were received and reviewed by BV
• The date(s) the applicant was notified of completed plan reviews
• The name and telephone number of the applicant
During the plan review process, BV is prepared to meet with the applicant or architect/engineer, City employees, or consultants at any time. Telephone discussions or meetings at project sites are welcomed to assure any plan review issues are handled efficiently.
BV’s goal is to issue approved plans as quickly as possible but in full compliance with laws, codes, ordinances, and regulations. Upon completion of the plan review, the following information package is prepared and logged as a minimum:
• Completed plan review documents which include sign-offs C. APPROACH
BUREAU VERITAS 220 Technology Drive, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92618 P 714.431.4100 | www.bvna.com
14 • Transmittal letter documenting any conditions
associated with issuance of a permit, if any
• Marked up plan review documents
• Two sets of approved building plans
• Backup documents and reports
• All documents shall be provided in a format desired by the City
Transmittal of Plans and Correction Lists
BV assumes responsibility for the pickup and return of
plans. Upon notification, plans will be picked up from the City offices within 24 hours. Should the volume of work be sufficient, the firm proposes to establish regular pick up of plans on a consistent basis. BV will utilize a shipping courier at no additional cost to the City.
Upon completion of each plan review, the firm will forward a copy of the correction list to both the City and the
applicant, by mail. When corrected plans are resubmitted, the previous procedure will be followed or the applicant may schedule an office visit to go over any corrections in person. When plans are completed, they are stamped,
signed, and forwarded by BV staff. The firm’s transmittal forms are customized for use unique to the City.
PLAN REVIEW TURNAROUND TIMES
BV provides plan review activities on a fast-track basis to reduce the impact on project contraction schedules. Turnaround times for each submittal relate to the size and nature of the submittal as well as the impact on the project construction schedule. To reduce turn around times for plan check, the firm uses electronic submittals, phased submittals, conference calling, videoconferencing, and visits by plan check staff to design offices of the engineer or architect.
BV has built long-term partnerships with many agencies and municipalities. The firm understands accuracy, efficiency, and integrity in all aspects of professional services is required.
Testimony to BV’s professional excellence is the fact it has a large number of repeat clients and client referrals. Due to the firm’s large pool of accessible resources, it is able to assemble experienced personnel in order to assist with project schedule recovery when necessary. BV also accommodates preliminary reviews to facilitate fast tracked or accelerated projects. This aids with timely turnaround and creates good public relations. The firm’s staff makes recommendations for resolutions, if requested.
The firm also meets with agencies, City staff, and citizens, as needed, to discuss its findings.

34 TECHNOLOGY TO PROMOTE PRODUCTIVITY
BV is at the forefront of promoting technology as a
way of maximizing productivity while saving time and
resources. Our team is adept at employing the use of digital technologies when performing services for our clients.
Online Permit Systems
Members of our team are proficient in the use of multiple permit tracking software systems for application, review and issuance, as well a plan intake, review, comment
and approval. These include eTRAKit, Accela, ProjectDox, EnerGov, Central Square, CityTech, and Cityworks, among others. BV is dedicated to partnering with the City of Stanton in the use of advanced, digital processes in an effort to deliver the highest quality services. We also utilize BV’s own internal software system, ProTrack, to ensure efficiency.
Our team has the breadth of experience to help facilitate a transition to a new software system, if the City would like to explore options beyond the current system in use, FileMaker Pro. We are also able to fully embrace the use of FileMaker Pro as the preferred software solution, taking a proactive approach ensuring team members are fully trained is the use of this system.
Digital Plan Review
Bureau Veritas has successfully implemented and utilized electronic plan review in more than 60 federal, state, and local agencies since the release of this technology as a convenient, time saving, cost efficient and green solution to traditional plan reviewing. Our team has extensive experience in multiple platforms, including BlueBeam and others. This modern
solution has become especially valuable as municipalities seek to continue service delivery to their communities while focusing on health and safety during the COVID-19 crisis. By utilizing this digital method, plan review personnel have been able to quickly and accurately review plans for compliance with applicable codes.
We have also put into
place an enhanced digital
plan review platform using
BV’s own GoPost Portal,
powered by ePlanSoft—a
proven and efficient system accessible through the internet.
Customers are able to view project status online, ask
questions, receive comments and submit updates. There is also an option to customize the software to suit a jurisdiction’s unique needs.
Plans are submitted via the secure and confidential GoPost applicant portal, a proven system accessible through the internet. Clients who have a plan review going through the online process are able to see where their plans are in the review process, ask questions, receive comments, submit updates, and more. GoPost accepts multiple file types, from AutoCAD to PDFs, Word, and more. Digital plan check has numerous advantages including, but not limited to, the
following:
• Eliminate the need to physically print and carry plans to the City - Upload plans anytime from anywhere
• Know project status at all times - Check where plans are and find out when reviews are completed.
• Use the GoPost online portal to communicate with the
review team - Ask and answer questions; make changes.
• Reduce printing and courier costs - Checklist and plan markup downloads make it easy to perform corrections
and resubmit documents online.
Electronic plan submittal and commenting allows for
economical movement of plans and quick turnaround. Plans with comments can be viewed and discussed as needed to
resolve issues quickly and efficiently.
A few specific examples of how the firm has utilized digital solutions to assist clients during the COVID-19 pandemic include:
• Washington D.C. previously had the permitting system
ProjectDox set in place and BV was able to continue
providing plan review services without any downtime
when the pandemic started. The firm was also able to
provide permit tech services by collaborating with the
D.C. IT department to set up firm staff with a VPN to
connect to the City’s internal permitting system.
• Multiple jurisdictions found their own way to receive digital plans from applicants, and in these instances BV offered the use of Microsoft Teams to facilitate file sharing and consistent communication with the jurisdiction.
• The City of Malibu decided to utilize BV’s GoPost portal to facilitate plan submission to the City. Using the portal combined with Microsoft Teams firm personnel were
able to perform project intake and easily share the
documents with the City.

Virtual and Remote Inspection Capabilities
From the very beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic crisis, BV has been diligently proactive in establishing and executing procedures which ensures the continued provision of services of the very highest caliber to its municipal clients. In addition to the digital plan review systems mentioned earlier, the firm has also deployed remote inspection, remote supervision, and augmented inspection services in multiple cases and for municipal clients throughout the United States. The firm is pleased to be in a position to leverage this experience to help solve the way it does business with the City of Stanton to elevate safety, quality, and efficiency during these difficult times.
The firm strongly believes in the long term value of these digital platforms and in their potential to change how inspection services are executed. The circumstances faced by society will be a catalyst to help drive the adoption of this new service, but once the ease of use and value creation is experienced first-hand BV believes it will become a standard component of inspection programs.
BV’s remote inspection services ensure the firm can keep its employees and City staff safe by eliminating direct contact and adhering to social distancing best practices and keep critical tasks moving forward in the face of travel and construction site access restrictions.
A Transformative Remote Inspections Experience
BV is confident it will weather this global pandemic with its municipal clients who utilize inspection services to stay compliant and keep their communities safe. Should the City of Stanton choose to adopt these innovative technologies, BV will be there to work with the City and facilitate these changes. One of the firm’s immediate goals is to assist its clients in making the right decisions and to respond intelligently when it comes to their inspection needs, both in the near- and long-term.
What BV is doing right now is continuing to strengthen
its Remote Inspections Platform. This means BV has the
capabilities to respond immediately to the COVID-19 related challenges and meet long-range goals. Additionally, the firm has partnered with multiple technology leaders to incorporate flexibility into the service offering, allowing BV to provide the tailored solutions which remote inspections demand. This means the firm can offer:

Plan Review Quality Control
As an ISO 9001 certified firm, BV undergoes systematic, independent audits of its management systems to meet
rigorous objectives and provide continuous improvement
in key areas. The firm consistently incorporates proven best practices and protocols as part of its quality management system to meet and exceed ever-increasing customer
requirements. These tools include implementation of an
established quality assurance/quality control program using for the intake, track, and review of plans to enhance quality and streamline processing/approval; electronic plan review to expedite turnaround times which save time and money; and the utilization of web-based document control system which fosters collaboration, 24/7 access to documents and reports, and enhances overall communication. Policies are implemented at each professional and technical level to provide a well-balanced, independent QA program, which
assures the quality of reports, technical reviews, annuals, and other documentation prepared by BV. This ensures the product is consistent with the established standards from the standpoint of quality, validity, and legal defensibility.
BV’s CARE program is a formalized and integrated process whereby Coordination, Analytical, Review, and Expert
management/quality control functions are consistently
implemented. This system’s success is based on thousands of hours of practical experience by the firm’s dedicated personnel and their unique ability to interact quickly and efficiently with the City’s staff. BV provides the City with a staff extension which will bind the varying interests of the City’s operations, its citizens, and legal and regulatory considerations into a dynamic, flexible working system.
Specific roles of each of the CARE elements includes:
• Coordinator: BV’s clerical staff handle various administrative functions, such as logging information (project tracking, time budgeting), managing project controls, maintaining and distributing communications, reviewing agendas and
ordinance issues, and fielding calls on project status. The Coordinator is the first line of contact for each submittal. • Analyst: BV’s analysts review submittals, title sheets, and non-design items; maintain files; monitor due dates; monitor contract budget and status tracking reports; and coordinate invoicing. BV analysts also maximize and “right place” staff resources to meet turnaround times in a quality manner. When assigning resubmittals to staff, the Analyst ensures consistency by assigning projects to the previous reviewer.
• Reviewer: BV’s experienced plan reviewers will routinely review agency standards, ordinances, guidelines, and
checklists; create comments letters; coordinate project return with the coordinator; attend review meetings; and communicate questions/solutions to project stakeholders.
Because of the firm’s depth of resources and project tools (checklists, corrections letters, etc), reassigned projects can be reviewed to meet deadlines and avoid unnecessary rechecks. • Expert: BV experts will provide the final quality assurance review of applicable plans, studies, and reports in accordance with all accepted engineering, building codes of different disciplines, Subdivision Map Act, and industry professional practices. They will comply with the applicable regulations; visit the client contact regularly; monitor project progress with the reviewer; disseminate project/agency information to the team; train team members; peer review comments
letters; and communicate questions/solutions to stakeholders.
Additionally, Experts provide quality assurance reviews to each project which minimizes the number of resubmittals.

CITY OF STANTON
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: November 8, 2022
SUBJECT: HOMELESSNESS AND PUBLIC SAFETY PILOT PROGRAM
REPORT IN BRIEF:
At its meeting of October 25, 2022, Council consensus was received for City Council Initiated Item – Discussion Regarding Obtaining Services/Assistance for the City’s Public Safety Services Department and Public Works Division, and the City Council directed the City Manager to work with the Chief of Police and Public Safety Director to produce a staff report for implementation of the Homelessness and Public Safety Pilot Program (Pilot Program). The Pilot Program brings together, for the first time, a fully staffed, dedicated team of homeless outreach coordination, code enforcement, and law enforcement to focus on homeless support services, public safety, and quality of life issues.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. City Council find that this item is not subject to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Sections 15378(b)(5)(Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment); and
2. Direct staff to proceed with a six-month Pilot Program beginning November 14, 2022 through May 13, 2022; and
3. Authorize the reallocation of $100,850 from the City’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Allocation (ARPA Fund # 257) that is currently allocated for the “Purchase of Property/Housing Opportunities” project to fund the Homelessness and Public Safety Pilot Program instead.
BACKGROUND:
The Council has had extensive discussions regarding solutions to address homelessness, code enforcement, and quality of life issues. These discussions have covered a broad spectrum of topics including the provision of permanent supportive housing, partnering with non-profits, providing behavioral health services, keeping up with Item: 9A
Click here to return to the agenda.
best practices, as well as addressing quality of life issues including shopping cart theft, graffiti, prostitution, illegal drug use, public nudity, litter, and illegal dumping.
Over the years, the Council has advanced or funded numerous projects to address these issues, including the support of three Project Homekey sites, the establishment of the Homeless Outreach Coordinator positions and associated funding, participation in the innovative North Orange County Public Safety Collaborative, a proactive code enforcement division, and the close collaboration with local businesses.
ANALYSIS AND JUSTIFICATION:
In creating the Pilot Program, the Council’s goals are threefold: first, to offer services and placement to those individuals experiencing homelessness on our City streets; second, to ensure the City’s Municipal Code is being enforced; and finally, to promote a high quality of life for all Stanton residents and businesses. To bring together the proper knowledge, skills, and abilities, a Pilot Program team has been formed consisting of representatives from homeless outreach, code enforcement, and law enforcement. This team will work together hand-in-hand on a daily basis, approximately 40 hours per week, traveling together throughout the City to ensure all necessary resources are jointly available in real time.
A key component of this Pilot Program will be the measurement of productivity, effectiveness, and community impact. To that end, the Pilot Program team will be collecting data daily and producing weekly activity reports to the City Manager. Through these reports, staff will identify successes and challenges to allow for adjustments to the program as needed during the pilot term. Staff will report back to Council at the two-month mark, four-month mark, and six-month mark.
FISCAL IMPACT:
After analyzing different options to provide the temporary Homeless Liaison Deputy required to round out the Pilot Program team, the most cost-effective strategy will be to assign a deputy from the City’s existing patrol deputy ranks. The vacant patrol hours will be backfilled by overtime at a rate of $96.97 for 1,020 hours, for a total cost of $100,850.
The Purchase of Property/Housing Opportunities ARPA allocation includes approximately $2.7M of unassigned funding. Staff is proposing to re-allocate $100,850 from this line item.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
