AUTHORIZE AN AGREEMENT WITH BMO BANK N.A. (FORMERLY BANK OF THE WEST) FOR
UTILITY BILLING REMITTANCE PROCESSING SERVICES (LOCKBOX SERVICES)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion to:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with BMO Bank N.A. (formerly Bank of the West) (“Bank”) to provide utility billing remittance processing services (also known as lockbox services) through June 30, 2027, in the amount of $64,500 per year.
2. Approve findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.070 for an exception to the competitive bidding process.
3. Authorize the City Manager to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this motion.
Summary
On February 2, 2017, a Request for Proposal (RFP) for lockbox services was released and the contract was awarded to Bank of the West as the most responsive bidder. Council approved of a 5- year agreement with Bank of the West (Attachment A) at its May 9, 2017, meeting. That agreement expired on June 30, 2023. Staff recommends executing a new agreement with Bank through June 30, 2027 (Attachment B), as the new agreement’s term will coincide with a separate 10-year agreement the City has with Bank. The annual cost of the lockbox services contract is $64,500.
However, the City has never paid the fee, as our total aggregate balance with the bank offsets the annual cost. The services provided by Bank have added technological advances and significant efficiencies to the City’s current utility payment processing.
DISCUSSION
Background
The City of Stockton receives approximately 24,000 utility bill payments each month. To efficiently process these payments and enable the City to receive the funds promptly, the City requires an automated, full-service lockbox system. The lockbox system must have the capability to receive and process mailed remittances, deposit funds into a City account daily, send a daily electronic file of payment information, provide an online platform to view reports, and provide an electronic image of agreed-upon documents.

On February 2, 2017, an RFP for lockbox services was released. The RFP process ensured a fair and competitive procurement of cost-effective lockbox services. The City specified that the successful firm would provide high-quality services and support continued technological enhancements to further improve the City’s operations.
The City received ten responses from prospective firms and invited the four most qualified firms to be interviewed. Interview rankings were based on each respondent’s demonstrated breadth of service, experience, overall presentation, and pricing.
The review panel unanimously determined that Bank of the West was the best fit to provide lockbox services for the City of Stockton. Some key deciding factors found in the Bank of the West’s proposal include:
1. Local Presence: Bank of the West has five banking locations within the City of Stockton. Its main branch is located close to City Hall at 540 N. El Dorado Street. Lockbox payments will be received and processed by Bank of the West in California. Customer payments will no longer be received out of state.
2. Fixed Pricing and Transition offer: Bank of the West agreed to offer fixed pricing for the life of the contract and agreed to waive its fees for the first six months.
3. Online platform: Bank of West offers a strong online platform to meet all the City’s current lockbox needs and provide efficiencies to City operations, such as; reporting, secure transmittal of payments, dual custody for transfers, reviewing rejected items, online decision of rejected items, viewing other exceptions, uploading files, self-administration, end user management, and security.
4. Implementation: Bank of the West will complete implementation within a 40-day to 60-day timeframe.
5. Termination: While the term of the contract is for an extended period, the City can terminate the agreement at any time through written notice.
In May 2017, the City entered a 5-year agreement with Bank to provide lockbox services. The agreement’s term ran through June 30, 2023. Bank continues to provide these necessary services without a contract in place.
Present Situation
On May 9, 2017, Council approved of a 5-year contract with Bank at an annual cost of $64,500. The agreement’s term ran through June 30, 2023. Staff recommends Council approve this new agreement with Bank through June 30, 2027.
Findings
Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.070(A) provides an exception to the competitive bidding requirements for purchases exceeding $100,000 when the City Council approves findings that support and justify the exception.
City of Stockton Printed on 12/7/2023Page 2 of 3
powered by Legistar™
13 File #: 23-0860, Version: 1
Findings to support this agreement include:
1. Bank was selected through a competitive RFP process for a 5-year agreement which recently expired. The agreement proposed here contains the same terms, conditions, and price as the previously negotiated agreement.
2. Bank has provided services to the City and is familiar with the City’s specific needs. There is an added benefit to having our aggregate balance with Bank compensating the annual cost of the service.
3. It is in the City’s best interest to maintain Bank lockbox services to ensure continued same-day processing of payments.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Based on estimated transaction volume, the average annual contract cost is $64,500 for services which for four years is a not to exceed total of $258,000. It is possible that some or all contract costs may be offset by an earnings credit provided by the bank based upon the average monthly balance maintained by the City. Staff will work with Bank to maximize earnings credits while considering the City’s cash needs.
The lockbox fees are charged to the Municipal Utilities Wastewater, Water and Stormwater Utility Funds.

General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Contractor’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85 or if not available, through the addition of both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 if a later edition is used).

This form of insurance will be acceptable provided that all of the Primary and Umbrella or Excess Policies shall provide all of the insurance coverages herein required, including, but not limited to, primary and non-contributory, additional insured, Self-Insured Retentions (SIRs), indemnity, and defense requirements.

Self-Insured Retentions
Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City of Stockton. The City of Stockton may require the Contractor to purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention.

Policies shall NOT contain any self-insured retention (SIR) provision that limits the satisfaction of the SIR to the Named. The policy must also provide that Defense costs, including the Allocated Loss Adjustment Expenses, will satisfy the SIR or deductible. City of Stockton reserves the right to obtain a copy of any policies and endorsements for verification.

ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT A ROUND 1 ADAPTATION PLANNING GRANT PROGRAM AWARD IN THE AMOUNT OF $650,000
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a grant agreement in the amount of $650,000 with the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and;
2. Authorize the City Manager to appropriate grant revenues and expenditures in the amount of $650,000, and;
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute and manage sub-agreements with co-applicants in amounts consistent with the Grant Agreement.
It is also recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of the resolution.
Summary
The Adaptation Planning Grant Program (APGP) Round 1, administered by the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), funds integrated climate planning activities to build climate adaptation and resilience through planning, research and capacity building, restoration, and sustainable infrastructure. The APGP Grant Round 1 will provide funding needed to update the City of Stockton’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) which was initially developed in 2008 and implemented from 2014-2020. Staff is requesting City Council’s authorization to execute a grant agreement with the Office of Planning and Research in the amount of $650,000 to fund the development of a new Climate Action & Adaptation Plan.
DISCUSSION
Background
In 2008, the City of Stockton entered into a Memorandum of Agreement ("Agreement") with the California Attorney General's Office and the Sierra Club to address potential impacts of the 2035 General Plan adopted in 2007. After years of outreach, the City Council adopted the Stockton Climate Action Plan (CAP) in 2014. The CAP outlines public and private efforts to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions of the 2005 baseline year by 15% by 2020. The City of Stockton has implemented all phases of the 2014 CAP plan with Phase 3 actions completed in 2020.

File #: 23-1108, Version: 1
Since the CAP's adoption, there have been numerous changes to State Law to reduce GHG emissions statewide and new "green" markets that emphasize energy efficiency and sustainable resources. In 2018, the 2040 General Plan was adopted, which satisfied the original Settlement Agreement's terms on climate change. While the new General Plan did not result in litigation like the 2007 plan, the 2040 General Plan does include direction to Update the City's Climate Action Plan.
The 2014 CAP has not been updated to reflect current legislation or State GHG reduction goals. As a result, new development projects reviewing potential GHG impacts cannot rely on CAP reduction measures to reduce emissions consistent with current State requirements. This results in project- specific analysis to avoid potential litigation on climate impacts from new development projects that are reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Furthermore, the 2040 General Plan specifically calls for a “New or updated implementation plan for the CAP” (Action CH-5.1B). The need for a new CAP is clear, and is already an objective of the City.
Present Situation
The mission of the APGP is to foster an integrated response to the impacts of climate change across California. The APGP Round 1 is also intended to support the development of climate resilient projects and prepare communities for future funding opportunities in programs that align with the APGP’s objectives. For these reasons, staff pursued the APGP grant opportunity to fund a new Climate Action & Adaptation Plan.
The City of Stockton was awarded a Round 1 APGP Grant on June 8 th, 2023. This was a highly
competitive grant, with 141 cities declaring intent to apply for APGP Round 1, yielding approximately $63 million worth of applications. Only $8 million was available for grant awards, and the City of Stockton was awarded the maximum amount of $650,000. Staff anticipate this amount will cover the full cost of developing a new Climate Action & Adaptation Plan.
The City’s proposed use for the grant funds include contracting with a firm that specializes in the development of Climate Action Plans, as well as supporting contracts with local non-profit partners to assist with robust community engagement efforts. These community engagement efforts will include direct mail campaigns to residents, town hall style meetings to present findings and solicit feedback from the community, workshops with key stakeholders to focus on critical issues (e.g., EV charging), and surveys to capture broad feedback on communitywide environmental priorities. The City will use a small portion of the grant (10-15%) to offset the cost of administering the grant, which includes overall project management, invoicing, progress reporting, and participating in all community engagement efforts. The new Climate Action & Adaptation Plan is scheduled to be completed and presented to City Council by October 31, 2025.
Additionally, Current State Law, General Plans: SB 379 (Jackson, 2015), which amended Government Code (GC) Section 65302(g)(4), requires that local governments address climate change adaptation and resilience in the safety element of all general plans in California.
The development of a new Climate Action & Adaptation Plan for post 2020 will identify new strategies to improve public health and evaluate the effectiveness of past actions to evolve future for:

· Upgraded Regional Wastewater Control Facility
· Installation of Solar Lights
· Economic Development
The new Climate Action & Adaptation Plan is intended to organize efforts in the improvement of public health, environmental efficiency, air quality and lessen the impact of commercial and residential operations through environmental planning activities and measures which will examine GHG reduction progress and respond to current climate impacts.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There is no direct impact on the General Fund as a result of updating the CAP. All related costs will be supported by grant funding. The City of Stockton and its Partners will pay for project related expenses in full and then submit documentation for reimbursement through this grant. The City of Stockton will subsequently apply for grant funding for the succeeding rounds of the APGP as well as other funding opportunities in programs that align with the targeted objectives. As the CAP is finalized and strategies approach implementation and require city council action, these strategies will be reviewed for their potential fiscal impacts to the City.
To establish the program and grant funding, an appropriation of revenue and expenditures of $650,000 is necessary in the City Manager’s Special Grants Fund - Reimbursement, General Administration Division.

Exhibit D, Special Terms and Conditions
Exhibit D, Special Terms and Conditions
1. Compliance with Laws and Regulations
By signing this Grant Agreement, Grantee certifies that it shall comply fully with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, regulations, and permits and shall secure any new permits required by authorities having jurisdiction over the Project(s),and maintain all presently required permits.
Grantee is responsible for complying with all applicable requirements, if any, of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21000 et seq.) for the Project are met. OPR’s selection of a Project for a planning grant does not foreclose appropriate consideration of alternatives or mitigation measures that would reduce or eliminate adverse environmental effects of any project during the CEQA review process. Nor does it foreclose the possibility that the project may be denied due to its significant environmental effects, if any. No work that is subject to CEQA may proceed until clearance is given by all lead and responsible agencies.
2. Subcontractors and Partners
OPR’s contractual relationship is with Grantee, and not any of its Partners or subcontractors. Grantee is entitled to make use of its own staff, Partners, and subcontractors, as identified in the Budget Detail Worksheet (Attachment 4), and will comply with its own competitive bidding and sole sourcing requirements for subcontracts that arise out of or in connection with this Grant Agreement. Grantee shall manage, monitor, and accept responsibility for the performance of its own staff, Partners, and subcontractors, and will conduct Project activities and services consistent with professional standards for the industry and type of work being performed under this Grant Agreement.
Nothing contained in this Grant Agreement or otherwise shall create any contractual relationship between OPR and any Partners or subcontractors, and no subcontract shall relieve Grantee of its responsibilities and obligations hereunder.
Grantee agrees to be as fully responsible to OPR for the acts and omissions of Partners and subcontractors and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by any of them as it is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by Grantee. Grantee's obligation to pay Partners and subcontractors is an independent obligation from OPR’s obligation to make payments to Grantee. As a result, OPR shall have no obligation to pay or to enforce the payment of any moneys to any Partner or subcontractor.
3. No Third-Party Beneficiaries
This Grant Agreement is not intended for the benefit of any person or entity other than the Parties, and no one other than the Parties themselves may enforce any of the rights or obligations created by this Grant Agreement.
4. Project Monitoring and Oversight
Project monitoring and oversight is essential to ensure the Project stays within scope and is completed on schedule and within budget in accordance with this Grant Agreement. It is the responsibility of the Grantee to monitor the Project to ensure that it is completed in accordance with this Grant Agreement. 203

11. Publicity
Grantee agrees that it will acknowledge OPR in all publications, websites, signage, invitations, and other media-related and public-outreach products related to the APGP. OPR staff will provide OPR logo files and guidance on their usage directly to Grantee. Grantee agrees to adhere to the Communications Kit provided by OPR (Exhibit H).

A. Long-Form Materials: Long-form written materials, such as reports, must include the following standard language about OPR, APGP, and the Integrated Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Program (ICARP):
As communities in California experience more frequent, prolonged, and severe impacts from climate change, communities and governments at all scales are developing strategies and implementing actions to build a climate- resilient future. However, many jurisdictions, especially under-resourced communities in California, lack the capacity, tools, guidance, and resources to effectively prepare for climate impacts.
The APGP addresses this capacity gap by providing funding to help fill planning needs, providing communities with the resources to identify climate resilience priorities, and supporting the development of climate resilience projects across the state. The APGP enables communities to climate risk and adaptation considerations into planning activities and prepare for climate readiness and resilience in the long term.
The APGP is an initiative of the Integrated Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Program (ICARP) housed within the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research. ICARP advances statewide climate adaptation and resilience by coordinating investments, partnerships and climate science to ensure people, natural systems, and the built environment are protected, prepared, and thrive in the face of climate change.
Through direct and equity-focused investments and resources, ICARP helps build climate adapted and equitable communities in California, with a focus on solutions that both address the impacts of climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ICARP works to advance these priorities across all levels of government by developing actionable science and research; providing guidance, tools, and technical assistance; and administering climate resilience-focused grant programs.

A. Press Releases, Flyers, and Visual Materials: Any informational materials that do not qualify as long-form, but that include at least a paragraph of text, such as press releases, media advisories, short case studies, flyers, etc., must include either of the following messages:
Long version:
“[Project Name] is supported by the Adaptation Planning Grant Program at the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR). The Adaptation Planning Grant Program is an initiative of OPR’s Integrated Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Program (ICARP). ICARP advances climate 207
Office of Planning and Research – Adaptation Planning Grant Program – Round 1 ATTACHMENT A Grant Number: OPR23131, City of Stockton
Exhibit D, Special Terms and Conditions
adaptation and resilience in California by coordinating investments, partnerships and climate science to ensure people, natural systems, and the built environment are protected, prepared, and thrive in the face of climate change.
Short version:
“[Project Name] is supported by the Adaptation Planning Grant Program implemented by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research.” Grantee may at times produce promotional materials that are primarily visual in nature, such as banners, signage, certain flyers, and sharable images for social media. In such cases, when including the above boilerplate language acknowledging ICARP and OPR support is not practical, Grantee should instead include the official OPR logo, preceded by the words “Funded by.” B. Media Inquiries: Grantee must provide to OPR the name, phone number, and email address of Grantee’s point of contact for all press inquiries and communications needs related to the Project. Grantees must also distribute a press release after grant decisions are presented during ICARP Technical Advisory Council (TAC) Meetings, and may be requested to present before the TAC and release communications materials for other major milestones throughout the lifecycle of the grant.

Introduction
We are promoting the 14 grantees through a press release, LinkedIn post, tweet and we welcome you to do the same. Below is some suggested language, but please feel very free to modify any of it as you see fit:
[Organization Name] is pleased to announce that [Project Name] has been selected as a recipient of the Round 1 Adaptation Planning Grant Program, provided by the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR). This new grant program supports integrated climate adaptation projects and planning efforts in California. We’re thrilled to announce our project is one of fourteen awarded in this first round! With the support of the Adaptation Planning Grant, [Project Name] will be able to [briefly describe the project's goals and objectives].

Together, we will build a more resilient California for All.
LinkedIn: @Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) @CalOPR and #ICARP #climateadaptation #climateresilience #CAresilience
Publicity Requirements & Guidelines for Adaptation Planning Grantees Adaptation Planning Grantees should acknowledge OPR in all publications, websites, signage, invitations, and other media-related and public-outreach products related to the Adaptation Planning Grant Program (APGP). OPR staff will provide OPR logo files and guidance on their usage directly to Grantee.
When using OPR’s logo, use the color version only when the logo appears on a white background; on backgrounds of any other color, please use the white version of the logo.
Long Form Materials
Long-form written materials, such as reports, must include the following standard language about OPR, APGP, and the Integrated Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Program (ICARP):
As communities in California experience more frequent, prolonged, and severe impacts from climate change, communities and governments at all scales are developing strategies and implementing actions to build a climate- resilient future. However, many jurisdictions, especially under-resourced communities in California, lack the capacity, tools, guidance, and resources to effectively prepare for climate impacts.
The Adaptation Planning Grant Program addresses this capacity gap by providing funding to help fill planning needs, providing communities with the resources to identify climate resilience priorities, and supporting the development of climate resilience 214
Office of Planning and Research – Adaptation Planning Grant Program – Round 1 ATTACHMENT A Grant Number: OPR23131, City of Stockton
Exhibit H, APGP Communications Kit
projects across the state. The Adaptation Planning Grant Program enables communities to climate risk and adaptation considerations into planning activities and prepare for climate readiness and resilience in the long term.
The Adaptation Planning Grant is part of the Integrated Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Program (ICARP) housed within the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research. ICARP advances statewide climate adaptation and resilience by coordinating investments, partnerships, and climate science to ensure people, natural systems, and the built environment are protected, prepared, and thrive in the face of climate change.
Through direct and equity-focused investments and resources, ICARP helps build climate adapted and equitable communities in California, with a focus on solutions that address the impacts of climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ICARP works to advance these priorities across all levels of government by developing actionable science and research; providing guidance, tools, and technical assistance; and administering climate resilience-focused grant programs.

Press Releases, Flyers, and Visual Materials
Any informational materials that do not qualify as long-form, but that include at least a paragraph of text, such as press releases, media advisories, short case studies, flyers, etc., must include either of the following messages:
Long version:
“[Project Name] is supported by the Adaptation Planning Grant Program at the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR). The Adaptation Planning Grant Program is an initiative of OPR’s Integrated Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Program (ICARP). ICARP advances climate adaptation and resilience in California by coordinating investments, partnerships, and climate science to ensure people, natural systems, and the built environment are protected, prepared, and thrive in the face of climate change.
Short version:
“[Project Name] is supported by the Adaptation Planning Grant Program implemented by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research.” Mostly visual:
Grantee may at times produce promotional materials that are primarily visual in nature, such as banners, signage, certain flyers, and sharable images for social media. In such cases, when including the above boilerplate language acknowledging ICARP and OPR support is not practical, Grantee should instead include the official OPR logo, preceded by the words “Funded by.”
Media Inquiries
Grantee must provide to OPR the name, phone number, and email address of Grantee’s point of contact for all press inquiries and communications needs related to the Project. Grantees must also distribute a press release after grant decisions are presented during ICARP Technical Advisory Council (TAC) Meetings, and may be requested to present before the TAC and release communications materials for other major milestones throughout the lifecycle of the grant. All press releases must be 215
Office of Planning and Research – Adaptation Planning Grant Program – Round 1 ATTACHMENT A Grant Number: OPR23131, City of Stockton
Exhibit H, APGP Communications Kit
approved by the OPR Communications and External Affairs prior to distribution and OPR must be alerted to all press events related to the grant. Please share draft press releases with OPR for review 30 days in advance of when you’d like to post them by emailing them to Brandon Harrell at [email protected].
Communication Materials & Photos
Grantee shall share between 8-12 high-resolution, color photos with OPR during the Grant Term. These photos should include pictures of people involved with the Project, the Project area, and/or activities conducted during the Grant Term. OPR reserves the right to use these photos across its communications platforms.
Social Media
Grantee is encouraged to use social media to share and inform the public of activities under this Grant Agreement.
Please tag OPR in your posts and tweets about your work using the Adaptation Planning Grant.
LinkedIn: @Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) Twitter: @CalOPR
Suggested hashtags: #ICARP #climateadaptation #climateresilience #CAresilience Spread the Word
Here are a few effective ways to raise awareness around your important work. In every case, we recommend a clear, concise writing style that avoids technical terms and is easy for most readers to access. Be sure all your communications comply with the Publicity Requirements and Guidelines on pages 24-36 of this kit.
Create a Website or Webpage
One of the best ways to share the latest information about the progress of your APGP project is to compile everything the public needs to know into well-organized website or webpage. Your website or webpage should be simple and inviting, with sections explaining who you are, what the Adaptation Planning Grant Program is, and why the project is important. Keeping the website updated with your latest accomplishments and steps taken to achieve your goals will keep members of your community enthusiastic and engaged. You can choose from dozens of inexpensive website templates, such as Wix, Square Space, and WordPress.
Press Releases & Media Advisories
If you’re interested in getting mentioned by your local news outlets (newspapers, web- based news, radio, television), you’ve got to alert reporters, editors, hosts, news desks, and producers in your local media market. Here are a couple ways to get their attention (in both cases, include a contact name, title, phone number, and email at the top):
Press release
This is a narrative piece that tells the reader a story. Your best bet is to write it in the style of a story you’d read in the newspaper. Start with the most important part so that the reader knows immediately what you want to tell them about. From there, add details to flesh out the story (the amount of the grant, the number of supporting community groups, total emissions reductions, etc.), along with quotes from people who are engaged with your project – for example, representatives from partner organizations, 216
Office of Planning and Research – Adaptation Planning Grant Program – Round 1 ATTACHMENT A Grant Number: OPR23131, City of Stockton
Exhibit H, APGP Communications Kit
residents who engaged in project design, and OPR’s Executive Director. Some media outlets might publish your press release as is! Others will follow up with questions or to interview someone.
Media advisory
This is a short piece you send to reporters, editors, hosts, news desks, and producers when you want to invite them to attend and cover an event, such as a groundbreaking, ribbon-cutting, dedication, etc. Make sure you answer the most important questions (who/what/when/where/why/how) and emphasize what makes your story worthy of media attention—as well as what photo opportunities will be available at the event.
Social Media
Numerous social media platforms support digital storytelling and promotion. Use your existing platforms to talk about your Adaptation Planning Grant project. We also encourage you to tag OPR in your tweets and LinkedIn posts about your Adaptation Planning Grant project so we can retweet and share your updates. Please see our social media section of this kit for more details.
Blog Post
If you or any of your partners currently has an active blog, we encourage you to write a blog post highlighting the progress or impact of your Adaptation Planning Grant project. For example, ask a project partner to write a guest blog or sit with you for a Q&A to highlight some of the specific benefits of their work, who is receiving those benefits, and how the community has been involved. After you’ve posted your blog, you can share it on your social media platforms!
Newsletter
If you or any of your Adaptation Planning Grant partners have a newsletter or listserv, please use it to share your award announcement and other important milestones.
Encourage community leaders and/or elected officials who work with you frequently to announce Adaptation Planning Grant Program milestones through their newsletters or listservs as well. Please contact us at OPR so we can share your important Adaptation Planning Grant milestones through our newsletter as well! Op-Ed or Letter to the Editor
Consider writing an op-ed or letter to the editor of your local newspaper to raise awareness of your new Adaptation Planning Grant and the benefits it will bring to your community. A good approach is to acknowledge the various partners involved in the planning process, name the specific benefits this project will bring to members of your community, and emphasize the place-based, community-driven approach to this project using the Adaptation Planning Grant Program’s model. An op-ed is typically around 600 words (it depends on the outlet) and you submit it to the Op-Ed Editor; it is best to reach out to this editor with an outline for your piece and ask if they’re interested in running a developed piece from you. A letter-to-the-editor is short – usually under 200 words – and you just submit it directly to the letters section of the outlet.
Events
Events with community members, leaders, and elected officials can be a draw for the press, as well as for local residents, and are a great way to build excitement about your Adaptation Planning Grant project.
217

Exhibit H, APGP Communications Kit
Host Community Events
Organizing a fun kick-off meeting and other community events for partners and the general public is a great way to raise awareness about your Adaptation Planning Grant and get more people involved in the planning process. These kinds of events can help make sure everyone is on the same page and united in your mission, as well as enthusiastic about the tangible benefits your project will create.
Remember
The OPR team is here to help! We love to work with awardees to brainstorm communication strategies. We can provide quotes from OPR leadership for your press releases and make leadership available for media interviews. We can coach you on how to pitch media, help you identify reporters, and help secure participation by State officials in your event. Contact OPR’s Deputy Director of External Affairs, Emily Breslin, for support: [email protected].
Social Media
Social media offers an array of powerful, free platforms that enable you to communicate about your Adaptation Planning Grant project to potentially large audiences.
Tag us
We love seeing grantees’ progress from vision to reality. Please post updates and photos of project events or outcomes on social media, and make sure to tag us so that we can like, comment, and retweet to share your hard work with all of California.
Tag Your Partners
Remember to include co-applicants and other key partners and champions in social media posts about your Adaptation Planning Grant. Tagging partners gives them the recognition they deserve while increasing the audience for your post.
Use Hashtags
Hashtags can be an effective way to increase a post’s visibility and response rate. It is best to use 1-2 relevant hashtags per tweet, 3 per LinkedIn post, and 3-5 per Instagram post, story, or reel. Example hashtags: #climateadaptation #climateresilience #CAresilience
Use Images and Alt Text
A social post with an image will get more traction than one without an image.
Throughout every stage of the Adaptation Planning Grant process, be sure to encourage your team to bring their phones or even a nice camera and take a picture of their colleagues or work environment. Having a photobank of pictures can work wonders on your social media accounts, especially because you’ll have the freedom to choose the highest quality or most interesting photos. Please see the Photo Tips section of this kit for more information.
So that community members who are blind or have limited vision can access your information, include alt text with every image you tweet or post. See the example posts below for sample alt text.
Shorten the Message
Given the character limit for tweets, you will need to pick and choose what information 218
Office of Planning and Research – Adaptation Planning Grant Program – Round 1 ATTACHMENT A Grant Number: OPR23131, City of Stockton
Exhibit H, APGP Communications Kit
to include. Incorporate hashtags and tagging partners into your sentences. Use commonly known abbreviations and conjunctions.
Amplify the Voices of Community Members
Reach out to partners and community members for their videos, quotes, and pictures that share how your Adaptation Planning Grant project will affect their lives. These stories can increase your social media audience’s enthusiasm for your project.
Retweeting posts that residents and partners create is another way to demonstrate the Adaptation Planning Grant project’s impact.
Post Often
Research shows your followers may like, comment, and share your posts more when you tweet several times per day and post on LinkedIn every day. Aim for no more than 1 tweet or retweet per hour and no more than 2 LinkedIn posts or reposts per day.
Brainstorm with your staff to come up with creative ways to keep the public informed and interested in your work. Then create a schedule and remain consistent.
More Social Media Tips
Encourage audience engagement by posting questions.
Use at least 1 emoji per post. Refer to emojipedia.org.
Encourage your colleagues and partners to comment on your posts and tweets by emailing them the URLs to your posts and tweets
Observe copyright laws.
Use URL shortening tools from sites like bitly.com and tinyurl.com if needed Twitter LinkedIn

Photo Tips
Consider pointers in this section when using photography to tell your project’s story.
Quality
Use the highest quality camera you can access. Good news: many modern smartphones are usually sufficient if you turn your phone sideways, tap on the display to focus on your subject, and position your subject so they are well-lit. Photos on social media don’t have to be as high quality as photos on your website or in your newsletter.
Everyone’s a Photographer
Encourage your staff and partners to take photos whenever they have the chance, and to send them all to your organization’s communications team. Designate someone who owns a nice camera to take photographs during events. 220

Content
When possible, photos should be bright and colorful, without being busy or filtered.
Candid photos of people working or interacting tend to be more eye-catching than people smiling at the camera. Highlight interesting aspects of your project so your photo stands out.
Remember
The picture is what draws people in to read the caption and learn about your work.
Don’t underestimate its importance!

APPROVE A MOTION TO APPLY FOR, ACCEPT, AND APPROPRIATE GRANT FUNDING FROM
THE CALIFORNIA INTERAGENCY COUNCIL ON HOMELESSNESS (CAL ICH) FOR ROUND
FIVE OF THE HOMELESS HOUSING, ASSISTANCE AND PREVENTION (HHAP) GRANT
PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a motion to:
1. Authorize staff to apply for, accept and appropriate Round 5 of the Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention Grant (HHAP 5) Program;
2. Approve and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to enter into a Standard Agreement for HHAP 5 funds with all its exhibits or other necessary documents consistent with the motion; and authorize the City Manager to approve consultant contracts that exceed the Stockton Municipal Code Section 3.68.060 spending limits to carry out application planning and administrative portions of the grant where necessary;
3. Approve findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code Section 3.68.070 that support an exception to the competitive bidding process; and,
4. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this motion.
Summary
The general purpose of Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) funding is to build regional coordination and a unified regional response to reduce and end homelessness, informed by a best-practices framework focused on moving homeless individuals and families into permanent housing and supporting the efforts of those individuals and families to maintain their permanent housing. HHAP 5 requires applicants to strategically pair HHAP 5 funds with other local, state, and federal resources towards long-term sustainability of housing and supportive services and to prioritize permanent housing solutions.
HHAP 5 differs from previous funding rounds in that it requires regions (i.e., the Continuum of Care, San Joaquin County, and the City of Stockton) to apply together and be signatory to a Regionally Coordinated Homelessness Action Plan. Funding allocations, though, may be received directly.
Applications and the Regionally Coordinated Homelessness Action Plan are due to the California Interagency Council on Homelessness on March 27, 2024.

DISCUSSION
Background
The State's Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention Program (HHAP) funds are designed to support regionally coordinated efforts between the County, Continuum of Care (CoC), and the City to expand and develop local capacity to address immediate homelessness challenges throughout the state. HHAP funds are focused on moving homeless individuals and families into permanent housing and ensuring those individuals and families maintain their permanent housing.
HHAP 5 is a $1 billion grant program authorized by Section 17 of AB 129 (Chapter 40, Statues of 2023; Health & Safety Code (HSC) § 50230, et seq.), which was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom on July 10, 2023. In addition to the $1 billion appropriation, Assembly Bill (AB) 129 reallocates $360 million from prior HHAP funding appropriations (HHAP 3 and HHAP 4 bonus funding) towards supplemental funding under HHAP 5. This NOFA makes available $869.5 million to eligible cities, counties, and CoCs. The California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH) released the HHAP 5 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) on September 29, 2023.
The City of Stockton’s current HHAP allocations total to $23,603,997:
Round 1: $6,460,266
Round 2: $3,053,944
Round 3: $7,893,270
Round 4: $6,196,518
Nearly all Round 1 and Round 2 funds have been disbursed to homeless service providers and affordable housing developers to meet a variety of needs, including shelter expansions and operations and new permanent housing projects. Round 3 funds have been contracted to provide low -barrier shelter operations, and about half of Round 3 and Round 4 funds are obligated to a Homekey permanent housing project, pending award notification by the state. The remaining HHAP 3 and 4 funds will be awarded in a manner consistent with the Updated Local Action Plan and multi-year spending plan for HHAP funds approved by motion by City Council on June 21, 2022.
Present Situation
HHAP 5 is established for the purpose of organizing and deploying the full array of homelessness programs and resources comprehensively and effectively, and to sustain existing federal, state, and local investments towards long-term sustainability of housing and supportive services. (HSC §§ 50232(a) and 50236(a).) To accomplish these goals, HHAP 5 requires applicants to create and implement a Regionally Coordinated Homelessness Action Plan, and to develop data-driven plans which fund the state’s priorities and commit to spending funds to sustain existing investments towards long-term sustainability of housing and supportive services, with a focus on permanent housing solutions.
On September 29, 2023, Cal ICH released the NOFA for Round 5 funding. Applications are due March 27, 2024.

File #: 23-1077, Version: 1
The City’s funding allocation dollar amount under HHAP Round 5 will be released at a later date, pending the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) certification of the 2024 Point in Time (PIT) Count findings.
Per HSC section 50234(a)(1), up to one percent of HHAP 5 funding is available to applicants for the purpose of planning for and preparing the Regionally Coordinated Homelessness Action Plan. The calculation for the planning allocation funding will be based on the 2022 PIT data.
Staff met with the Collaborative Applicant (County) and the Board Chair and Co-Chair of the Continuum of Care (CoC) to discuss the plan to meet the HHAP 5 Application and Regionally Coordinated Homelessness Action Plan requirements. It was determined that the City of Stockton is best positioned to lead the application process, including overseeing development of the Regionally Coordinated Homelessness Action Plan . Costs associated with planning for and preparing the Regionally Coordinated Homelessness Action Plan will be shared by each eligible funding entity (the City of Stockton, the CoC, and the County) according to their proportionate share of the available planning allocation. The City will submit the joint Application to Cal ICH on behalf of the San Joaquin County Region. The City intends to receive its funding allocation directly.
FINDINGS
Pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.070, Council may award a contract without competitive bidding where it approves findings which support an exception to the competitive bidding process.
These findings include:
1. Staff issued an informal Request for Proposals for Regional Homeless Action Plan Consultant solicitations to four professional consulting firms, a local nonprofit with facilitation expertise, and to the Continuum of Care listserv. The City, County, and CoC does not have sufficient staff or resources to complete a regionally coordinated homeless action plan within the required timeline. Further, an independent consultant is better suited to solicit countywide stakeholder involvement and to identify regional goals and strategies.
2. The Regional Homeless Action Plan requirements are extensive, including significant stakeholder engagement involvement and data collection efforts. The level of effort required to conduct a comprehensive regionally coordinated homeless action plan, as required for this grant, could feasibly take upwards of six months to a year. Once a consultant contract is awarded, there will be approximately three months to complete the scope of work. A formal competitive bidding process would have further shortened the timeline.
3. This contract involves the acquisition of a specialized consultant with a firm understanding of the SJC Region and of the complex issues of homelessness, housing, vulnerable populations, or related fields such as mental health and social services. Because of the specialized nature of the work, a thorough evaluation of the proposers’ strengths and resources to carry out the scope within the timeline is imperative, rather than selecting the lowest responsive price.

File #: 23-1077, Version: 1
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There is no financial impact to the City's General Fund or any other unrestricted fund as a result of this action. HHAP 5 funding will be appropriated and budgeted in the Special Grant Fund in the Housing Division. The consultant contract will be supported with available HHAP 4 funds, and later reimbursed with HHAP 5 funds once received, as allowed by grant guidelines.

APPROVE MOTION TO EXECUTE A ONE (1) YEAR STANDARD AGREEMENT BETWEEN
PROFORCE LAW ENFORCEMENT (PROFORCE) AND THE CITY OF STOCKTON (CITY) FOR THE GLOCK FIREARMS AND RED DOT OPTICS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $184,826 (PUR 24-012)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion to:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a one-time purchase from ProForce, in an amount not to exceed $184,826;
2. It is further recommended that the City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to make any and all expenditures and appropriations on behalf of the City as appropriate and necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of this motion.
Summary
The Stockton Police Department (SPD) is seeking to equip its officers with Red Dot Optics for their duty pistols, a rapidly emerging industry standard in law enforcement. These optics are favored for their user-friendly functionality and heightened accuracy, crucial factors in ensuring our community's and officers' safety during high stakes, dynamic incidents. Examinations and assessments of the AimPoint Acro P2 Red Dot Optic have revealed a notable enhancement in accuracy across all levels of firearm proficiency. Under PUR-24-012, the SPD advertised to purchase as many Glock Firearms and Red Dot Optics units as possible within the project budget of $185,000.
DISCUSSION
Background
The use of Red Dot Optics on duty handguns has proven to increase “hit ratios” in officer involved shootings, reduce liability, and increase qualification rates. The use of such optics is becoming the industry standard, with departments as large as the Los Angeles Police Department utilizing Red Dot Optics. Some local departments (i.e., Tracy Police and San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office) have already switched to a Red Dot Optics system.
During an evaluation period conducted within SPD, the Department observed a significant increase in firearm accuracy from less-tenured patrol officers to seasoned SWAT firearms instructors with Red Dot Optics.

File #: 23-1060, Version: 1
Present Situation
A Sealed Bid for a minimum purchase of 221 Glock Firearm and Red Dot Optics with trade in value was published in The Record on October 3, 2023. The Sealed Bid was emailed to multiple regional and local area vendors. On October 26, 2023, two bids were received with the following results:
COMPANY NAME BID AMOUNT ADJUSTED BID AMOUNT
(including all taxes & fees) (to include trade-in value) ProForce Law Enforcement $217,000 $144,512
(Prescott, AZ)
LC Action Police Supply $221,588 $151,520
(San Jose, CA)
Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.090 gives a five percent bid preference to businesses located within the City of Stockton and a two percent bid preference to businesses located within San Joaquin County. There are no responsive bidders located within the City of Stockton or San Joaquin County, therefore, application of the Local Business Preference does not apply.
The bid from ProForce meets the bid specification. The ProForce response included a total of 249 units, with an applicable trade-in value, in the amount not-to-exceed $184,826, including taxes and fees. It is recommended that Council approve a motion authorizing the purchase of 249 Glock Firearms and Red Dot Optics with trade-in value from ProForce in the total amount not to exceed $184,826.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The FY 2023-24 Annual Budget includes sufficient appropriation in the Police Department’s Special Revenue Fund for the purchase contract of Glock Firearms and Red Dot Optics, net trade-in, with ProForce, for a total cost of $184,826, funded by an appropriation from the State of California’s Citizens Option for Public Safety (COPS) program.

2. Approve reallocation of Council Discretionary Funding, in the amount of $25,000, from the Pixie Woods Suspension Bridge Replacement, Project No. WP22039, to the Swenson Park Golf Course Fence Replacement, Project No. WB24033.
3. Award a Construction Contract, in the amount of $230,720, to Arrow Fence Company of Rocklin, CA, for the Swenson Park Golf Course Fence Replacement, Project No. WB24033.
It is also recommended that the City Manager be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.
Summary
Swenson Park Golf Course is a 214-acre property that opened in 1952 and is located at 6803 Alexandria Place (Attachment A - Vicinity Map). The exterior fencing and gates located at the golf course were damaged during winter storms and now require replacement. The project will remove the existing chain link fence and gates located on the south and west sides of the golf course and replace with a new wrought iron fence and two double swing gates.
On October 5, 2023, the City received four bids for this project. Staff recommends Council award a Construction Contract to the lowest responsive bidder, Arrow Fence Company of Rocklin, CA, in the amount of $230,720. Staff also recommends that Council adopt a resolution approving Notice of Exemption No. NOE60-23 under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and approving the reallocation of Council Discretionary Funding for the project.

The project will remove the existing chain link fence and gates located on the south and west sides of the golf course and replace them with a new wrought iron fence and two double swing gates.
On November 16, 2021, by Resolution No. 2021-11-16-1501, Council approved discretionary funding in the amount of $120,000 and appropriated funding to the Pixie Woods Suspension Bridge Replacement, Project No. WP22039.
