CITY AGENDA ITEM:
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2023-___: Approving a Third Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Between the City of Suisun City and the Suisun City Employees’ Association Effective July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2023, to Amend MOU Provisions to Restore Leave Accrual Caps.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The additional cost resulting from this MOU amendment will be funded by American Rescue Plan Act funds which can be absorbed in the current fiscal year budget. Restoring the leave accrual caps will reduce the City’s future unfunded liability that exists when employees maintain high leave accrual balances, that must be paid out upon separation, and which are typically paid out at a higher rate than when earned.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Provide Good Governance and Ensure Fiscal Solvency.
BACKGROUND:
On August 17, 2021, the City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Suisun City (City) and the Suisun City Employees’ Association (SCEA), effective July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2023 (SCEA MOU 2021-23) with the adoption of Resolution No. 2021-

On May 23, 2023, the City Council approved a Second Amendment to the SCEA MOU 2021-23 with the adoption of Resolution No. 2023-61.
STAFF REPORT:
The City and SCEA’s authorized labor relations representatives recently met and conferred in good faith pursuant to the requirements of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act, codified as Gov’t Code Sections 3500-3511, and reached agreement regarding further modifications to the SCEA MOU 2021-23. The proposed modifications pertain to restoring leave accrual caps and are memorialized in the Third Amendment to the SCEA 2021-23 (attached as Exhibit “A” to the proposed resolution). These proposed modifications have been ratified by SCEA membership.
Specifically, the Third Amendment would do the following if approved by the City Council:
Restore the previous contractually agreed upon leave caps effective October 1, 2023.
The City will buy down excess accrued leave to the original contractual accrued leave caps effective the last full payroll period in June 2023.
Employees will have ninety (90) days, until October 1, 2023, to maintain and/or reduce their leave accruals below the contractual leave caps at which time employees will no longer be allowed to exceed the leave caps.

AGENDA TRANSMITTAL
MEETING DATE:
June 20, 2023
CITY AGENDA ITEM:
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2023-___: Amending and Restating the Schedule of Compensation and Benefits for Unrepresented Employees.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The additional cost resulting from this amendment will be funded by American Rescue Plan Act funds which can be absorbed in the current fiscal year budget. Restoring the leave accrual caps will reduce the City’s future unfunded liability that exists when employees maintain high leave accrual balances, that must be paid out upon separation, and which are typically paid out at a higher rate than when earned.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Provide Good Governance and Ensure Fiscal Solvency.
BACKGROUND:
The Schedule of Benefits for Unrepresented Employees specifies the level of benefits for the City’s unrepresented employees. These benefits may be amended from time to time as desired by the City Council. It was most recently amended/updated on May 2, 2023, with Resolution No. 2023-44.
STAFF REPORT:
The City Council historically provides compensation or benefits adjustments for Unrepresented Employees comparable to those offered to represented City of Suisun City management employees.
The City and authorized labor relations representatives for the Suisun City Police Officers’ Association (SCPOA), the Suisun City Professional Firefighters’ Association (SCPFA), and the Suisun City Employees Association (SCEA) recently met and conferred in good faith pursuant to the requirements of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act, codified as Gov’t Code Sections 3500-3511, and reached agreement regarding modifications pertaining to restoring leave accrual caps. The agreements to amendments to the Memorandum of Understandings (MOUs) have been ratified by the SCPOA, SCPFA and SCEA memberships.
The City has also engaged with and is meeting and conferring with the Suisun City Management and Professional Employees’ Association (SCMPEA) to amend their contract as well, providing the same modifications to restoring leave accrual caps.
At this time, staff is recommending the City Council authorize Unrepresented Employees, including the City Manager, the same adjustments offered to the City’s employee bargaining groups, which would do the following if approved by the City Council:
Restore the previous authorized leave accrual caps effective July 1, 2024, for Unrepresented employees.
The City will buy down excess accrued leave to the original authorized leave caps effective the last full payroll period in June 2023.
Employees will have one (1) year, until July 1, 2024, to maintain and/or reduce their leave accruals below the contractual leave caps at which time employees will no longer be allowed to 25 exceed the leave caps.
Those who are still over the leave cap on or after July 1, 2024 accordingly, shall not accrue any more leave time until they bring their accrual balance below the leave cap shall not be allowed to accrue over the cap from thereon.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023- ___ - Amending and Restating the Schedule of Compensation and Benefits for Unrepresented Employees.

Employees with over fifteen (15) years of service with the City may accumulate up to a maximum of three hundred twenty (320) hours of Vacation Leave.
Under exceptional circumstances, such as heavy workloads or staffing shortages, the City Manager may authorize the accumulation of additional Vacation Leave. If an Employee is at the limit, they must request to take Vacation Leave off. If a written request to do so is disapproved, the limit may be increased by the City Manager. Failure to request time off will result in ceasing the accrual of Vacation Leave upon reaching maximum accumulation and continuing until the balance is reduced by forty (40) hours.
Section 03. HOLIDAY DURING VACATION. An Affected Employee is not charged Vacation Leave for a Holiday occurring during their Vacation Leave.
Section 04. UTILIZATION OF VACATION LEAVE. Utilization of Vacation Leave shall be scheduled through the City Manager, who shall, in their sole discretion, determine when and whether to permit such leave. In making a determination when and whether to permit utilization of Vacation Leave, the City Manager may consider such factors as the preferences of the Employee, the availability of staff to assume the duties of the employee, the impact of the leave on overall City service or pending projects, and the overall staffing and other needs of the City.
Section 05. CONVERSION OF UNUSED VACATION LEAVE TO CASH. Department Heads are allowed to cash-out of a maximum of forty (40) hours in January of each year as long as there remains 50 Resolution No. 2023-__

In order to effectuate this intent, the City will buy down any excess accrued leave to the original authorized accrued leave cap effective the last full payroll period in June 2023. Employees will then have one (1) year, until July 1, 2024, to maintain and/or reduce their leave accruals below the contractual leave caps at which time employees will no longer be allowed to exceed the leave caps.

CITY AGENDA ITEM:
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2023 - ___: Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Lease Agreement on the City’s Behalf with Caltronics Business Systems for the Citywide Multi-Function Copier Leasing and Maintenance Contract.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City currently has a contract with Caltronics Business Systems (Caltronics) for thirteen (13) multi-function copiers City-wide. This contract expires at the end of July 2023. Staff is proposing that the City enter into a new contract with Caltronics for the amount of $3,030.86 plus tax per month. The annual cost for the lease contract is $39,416.33 (including tax) plus the per page copy fees of $0.045-$0.06 color and $0.016-$0.0075 black and white. The new contract will include upgraded copiers and services. The monthly cost is distributed, based on the actual usage, to all impacted departments.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Provide Good Governance. Ensure Fiscal Solvency.
BACKGROUND:
In 2020, the City entered a three-year lease contract with one three-year lease extension with Caltronics Business Systems for multifunction copiers and printer management system.
The City used a cooperative purchasing contract for this lease. Caltronics is under the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) cooperative agreement.
STAFF REPORT:
The current copier contract is set to expire at the end of July 2023 and staff is satisfied with Caltronics Business Systems (Caltronics) and the provided copier models. The current monthly cost for the eight (8) copiers is $1,964.53 plus tax. The new Caltronics contract will be for thirteen (13) copiers. This is an increase of five (5) copiers as two departments have added copiers to the existing fleet. The City will receive new updated models of the existing current copiers and will also receive one (1) upgraded model for the Recreation, Parks, and Marina (RPM) Department as their needs have increased.
This new Citywide contract includes the Police Department, Fire Department, RPM Department, the Corporation Yard, and City Hall. The Fire Department has a separate contract for their main copier for a current yearly cost of $3,000.00. This contract expires in December 2023 and upon expiration of that contract, Fire will be added to this new contract to keep all the copiers on the same replacement schedule and contract. Caltronics’ proposal includes maintenance and all the consumables (toner, print drums, etc.) for the copiers.
Staff recommends that the Council authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year copier lease agreement with Caltronics Business Systems for $3,030.86 plus tax per month. Staff further recommends that the City Manager be authorized to extend this contract services agreement for up to three (3) one-year extensions with an annual contract value adjustment increase not to exceed an annual 3% cost of living increase at the discretion of the City Manager.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023- 57 ___:
Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Lease Agreement on the City’s Behalf with Caltronics Business Systems for the Citywide Multi-Function Copier Leasing and Maintenance Contract.

FISCAL IMPACT:
There would be no impact to the General Fund. The Solano Transportation Authority (STA) will be recommending to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) the allocation of $307,000 in Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 funds to the City for the Driftwood Drive Path Gap Closure Project.
STRATEGIC PLAN:

BACKGROUND:
Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds are generated from a 1/4 cent tax on retail sales throughout California. An amount equal to two percent of the TDA funding generated, called TDA Article 3, is returned to each county from which it was generated for bicycle and pedestrian projects. STA works with MTC to administer the TDA funds.
STAFF REPORT:
The Driftwood Drive Path Gap Closure Project (Project) has been recommended by STA for TDA Article 3 funding, and STA will need to submit a countywide claim to MTC that is comprised of each project sponsor’s resolutions (attached to this staff report). In order to receive the TDA funds, the City must submit a formal request and application (Attachment B) along with the resolution associated with this staff report, as well as approve the statements in (Attachment A), Findings.
On May 10, 2023, the STA Board approved $307,000 in TDA Article 3 for the Project. On that same day, STA also approved a $100,000 Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) allocation for the Project.
The Project will fill in the gap in the Driftwood Drive Path. It will consist of 10-foot wide concrete pedestrian/bicycle facility along the south side of Driftwood Drive from the Marina Boulevard/Driftwood Drive intersection to approximately 210 feet east by extending the curb out to the paved street; crosswalk striping and curb ramp upgrades at the Marina Boulevard/Driftwood Drive intersection; storm drainage improvements that include catch basins, underground pipe, and re-paving for surface drainage purpose; striping; and roadway signage.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023- ___: Authorizing the City Manager to Request that the Metropolitan Transportation Commission Allocate Fiscal Year 2023-2024. Transportation Development Act Article 3 Pedestrian/Bicycle Project Funding to the City for the Driftwood Drive Path Gap Closure Project.

AGENDA TRANSMITTAL
MEETING DATE:
June 20, 2023
CITY AGENDA ITEM:
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2023-__: Authorizing the City Manager to execute a lease agreement with Flock Group Inc., or its assignee, for Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs)
over a five-year period.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Suisun City Police Department (SCPD) has an ongoing lease agreement with Flock Group Inc., which is ending June 30, 2023. Flock Group Inc. has provided a new lease agreement program keeping the same pricing structure as in years FY 21/22 and FY 22/23. The cost of this agreement is $200,800 over five years, or $40,800 in FY 23/24 and $40,000 every year after. There is a slight added cost to previous years, as SCPD has identified two additional areas where cameras are needed. SCPD currently has the funding in its FY22/23 budget for equipment to pay for the first year of this program.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Ensure Public Safety: 3.5 Optimize the use of technology to drive efficiency, productivity, and customer service.
BACKGROUND:
The Police Department was authorized by Council to begin the ALPR program with open-source ALPR software in 2018. The software captured license plates, but it did not query the information against any databases. In 2021, SCPD migrated to using Flock Group Inc. as the ALPR vendor due to the capabilities of their technology, as well as the wide-spread use of Flock Group Inc. cameras in Solano County. In 2021, SCPD was offered a two-year lease for 14 cameras across Suisun City. This lease is ending, and SCPD would like to continue using the Flock Group Inc. ALPR technology by entering into a five-year lease agreement while adding two additional cameras at locations where the direction of ALPR cameras do not already exist.
STAFF REPORT:
SCPD is seeking approval by the City Council to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a five-year lease agreement with Flock Group Inc., or its assignee, for Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) hardware, software, and installation.
Because the City does not have staffing available in any department to install, maintain and calibrate ALPR cameras, Flock Group Inc. is a viable option as they offer a lease-based solution, and they are the current vendor for SCPD’s ALPR cameras. This proposed lease agreement includes the installation, repair, maintenance, and software to run the system.
Flock Group Inc. integrates with California databases to query stolen and wanted vehicle license plates in real-time. The system will alert officers in the field as well as dispatch when a stolen vehicle or a vehicle wanted in a significant crime is captured on an ALPR camera. This will allow resources to be deployed in real time, to apprehend a suspect(s) and potentially recover stolen property or evidence, or even rescue an individual who is a victim of kidnapping.
Flock Group Inc. ALPRs have the potential to help solve, or even reduce, violent crimes in Suisun City.
Approximately 70% of all crimes involve a vehicle. Officers and detectives investigating shootings and other high-profile crimes will be able to leverage the Flock Group Inc. software to look for vehicles 79 involved in crimes by their license plate number, color, make, type, and time in a specific area. These leads will assist staff who are investigating crimes to identify possible involved parties. Identification of vehicles involved in crimes is a major step in building comprehensive investigations and gathering leads. These investigative tools can increase our ability to serve the community and bring investigations to resolution.
Crime is often multi-jurisdictional; Flock Group Inc. is a component of a county-wide effort to leverage technology to increase efficiency and effectiveness of county-wide law enforcement partners. Solano County and the cities of Benicia, Vallejo, Vacaville, and Fairfield are all using Flock Group Inc. ALPR cameras. Through the Flock Group Inc. software, we can continue to search surrounding agency cameras to determine if suspect vehicles have traveled to other cities. These leads can help detectives identify cross-jurisdictional crime sprees and trends, where a single person or group is responsible for crimes in many jurisdictions. It can also assist detectives with a focal point as to where to search for suspects who may have left Suisun City.
During the past two years SCPD has been utilizing Flock Group Inc. ALPR cameras, SCPD has been alerted to several vehicles crossing into Suisun City’s jurisdiction that were used in many different crimes either in Suisun City or throughout Solano County. Many of these vehicles were located by SCPD officers resulting in suspects being arrested before they could commit additional crimes. In many other instances where the vehicle or suspect was not located, we are confident crimes were not committed in Suisun City, as officers converging and saturating areas surrounding these suspect vehicle notifications likely caused the suspects to leave the area due to the increased officer presence.
SCPD also utilized data obtained from Flock Group Inc. to identify a vehicle used in a homicide in Suisun City in 2022 within hours of the crime. This information resulted in that suspect’s identity and arrest. Flock Group Inc. system data was also used in developing suspect information from another homicide in early 2023, saving numerous staff hours that would have been spent reviewing video evidence to identify a specific style of vehicle. Information retrieved by Flock Group Inc. is truly a force multiplier for SCPD.
Flock Group Inc. is compliant with all California State Laws and only retains license plate data for 30 days before that data is erased from the system and unretrievable.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council Adopt Resolution No. 2023- __: Authorizing the City Manager to execute a lease agreement with Flock Group Inc., or its assignee, for Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) over a five-year period.

Flock does not own and shall not sell Customer Generated Data.
4.3 Anonymized Data. Flock shall have the right to collect, analyze, and anonymize Customer Data and Customer Generated Data to the extent such anonymization renders the data non- identifiable to create Anonymized Data to use and perform the Services and related systems and technologies, including the training of machine learning algorithms. Customer hereby grants Flock a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free right to use and distribute such Anonymized Data to improve and enhance the Services and for other development, diagnostic and corrective purposes, and other Flock offerings.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY; DISCLOSURES

Proprietary Information of Flock includes non-public information regarding features, functionality and performance of the Services. Proprietary Information of Customer includes non-public data provided by Customer to Flock or collected by Flock via Flock Services, which includes but is not limited to geolocation information and environmental data collected by sensors. The Receiving 99 Party agrees: (i) to take the same security precautions to protect against disclosure or unauthorized use of such Proprietary Information that the Party takes with its own proprietary information, but in no event less than commercially reasonable precautions, and (ii) not to use (except in performance of the Services or as otherwise permitted herein) or divulge to any third person any such Proprietary Information. The Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any information that the Receiving Party can document (a) is or becomes generally available to the public; or (b) was in its possession or known by it prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party; or (c) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party; or (d) was independently developed without use of any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party.
Nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing the Proprietary Information pursuant to any judicial or governmental order, provided that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice of such disclosure to contest such order. At the termination of this Agreement, all Proprietary Information will be returned to the Disclosing Party, destroyed or erased (if recorded on an erasable storage medium), together with any copies thereof, when no longer needed for the purposes above, or upon request from the Disclosing Party, and in any case upon termination of the Agreement. Notwithstanding any termination, all confidentiality obligations of Proprietary Information that is trade secret shall continue in perpetuity or until such information is no longer trade secret.
5.2 Usage Restrictions on Flock IP. Flock and its licensors retain all right, title and interest in and to the Flock IP and its components, and Customer acknowledges that it neither owns nor acquires any additional rights in and to the foregoing not expressly granted by this Agreement.
Customer further acknowledges that Flock retains the right to use the foregoing for any purpose in Flock’s sole discretion. Customer and Authorized End Users shall not: (i) copy or duplicate any of the Flock IP; (ii) decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to obtain or perceive the source code from which any software component of any of the Flock IP is compiled or interpreted, or apply any other process or procedure to derive the source code of any software included in the Flock IP; (iii) attempt to modify, alter, tamper with or repair any of the Flock IP, or attempt to create any derivative product from any of the foregoing; (iv) interfere or attempt to interfere in any manner with the functionality or proper working of any of the Flock IP; (v) remove, obscure, or alter any notice of any intellectual property or proprietary right appearing on or contained within the Flock Services or Flock IP; (vi) use the Flock Services for anything other 100
than the Permitted Purpose; or (vii) assign, sublicense, sell, resell, lease, rent, or otherwise transfer, convey, pledge as security, or otherwise encumber, Customer’s rights. There are no implied rights.
5.3 Disclosure of Footage. Subject to and during the Retention Period, Flock may access, use, preserve and/or disclose the Footage to law enforcement authorities, government officials, and/or third parties, if legally required to do so or if Flock has a good faith belief that such access, use, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a legal process, enforce this Agreement, or detect, prevent or otherwise address security, privacy, fraud or technical issues, or emergency situations.
6. PAYMENT OF FEES
6.1 Billing and Payment of Fees. Customer shall pay the fees set forth in the applicable Order Form based on the billing structure and payment terms as indicated in the Order Form. If Customer believes that Flock has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Flock no later than thirty (30) days after the closing date on the first invoice in which the error or problem appeared to receive an adjustment or credit. Customer acknowledges and agrees that a failure to contact Flock within this period will serve as a waiver of any claim. If any undisputed fee is more than thirty (30) days overdue, Flock may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend delivery of its service until such undisputed invoice is paid in full. Flock shall provide at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Customer of the payment delinquency before exercising any suspension right.
6.2 Notice of Changes to Fees. Flock reserves the right to change the fees for subsequent Renewal Terms by providing sixty (60) days’ notice (which may be sent by email) prior to the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term (as applicable).
6.3 Late Fees. If payment is not issued to Flock by the due date of the invoice, an interest penalty of 1.0% of any unpaid amount may be added for each month or fraction thereafter, until final payment is made.
6.4 Taxes. Customer is responsible for all taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only taxes based on Flock’s net income, imposed by taxing authorities associated with the order. If Flock has the legal obligation to pay or collect taxes, including amount subsequently assessed by a taxing 101
authority, for which Customer is responsible, the appropriate amount shall be invoice to and paid by Customer unless Customer provides Flock a legally sufficient tax exemption certificate and Flock shall not charge customer any taxes from which it is exempt. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, Customer shall notify Flock and shall pay Flock any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that Flock receives, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount Flock would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required.
7. TERM AND TERMINATION
7.1 Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for the period of time set forth on the Order Form (the “Term”). Following the Term, unless otherwise indicated on the Order Form, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive renewal terms of the greater of one year or the length set forth on the Order Form (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless either Party gives the other Party notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.
7.2 Termination. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Flock will remove any applicable Flock Hardware at a commercially reasonable time period. In the event of any material breach of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Term by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the breaching Party; provided, however, that this Agreement will not terminate if the breaching Party has cured the breach prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period (“Cure Period”). Either Party may terminate this Agreement (i) upon the institution by or against the other Party of insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceedings, (ii) upon the other Party's making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iii) upon the other Party's dissolution or ceasing to do business. In the event of a material breach by Flock, and Flock is unable to cure within the Cure Period, Flock will refund Customer a pro-rata portion of the pre-paid fees for Services not received due to such termination.
7.3 Survival. The following Sections will survive termination: 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8.3, 8.4, 9, 10.1 and
10.6. 102
8. REMEDY FOR DEFECT; WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER
8.1 Manufacturer Defect. Upon a malfunction or failure of Flock Hardware or Embedded Software (a “Defect”), Customer must notify Flock’s technical support team. In the event of a Defect, Flock shall make a commercially reasonable attempt to repair or replace the defective Flock Hardware at no additional cost to the Customer. Flock reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to repair or replace such Defect, provided that Flock shall conduct inspection or testing within a commercially reasonable time, but no longer than seven (7) business days after Customer gives notice to Flock.
8.2 Replacements. In the event that Flock Hardware is lost, stolen, or damaged, Customer may request a replacement of Flock Hardware at a fee according to the reinstall fee schedule (https://www.flocksafety.com/reinstall-fee-schedule). In the event that Customer chooses not to replace lost, damaged, or stolen Flock Hardware, Customer understands and agrees that (1) Flock Services will be materially affected, and (2) that Flock shall have no liability to Customer regarding such affected Flock Services, nor shall Customer receive a refund for the lost, damaged, or stolen Flock Hardware.
8.3 Warranty. Flock shall use reasonable efforts consistent with prevailing industry standards to maintain the Services in a manner which minimizes errors and interruptions in the Services and shall perform the Installation Services in a professional and workmanlike manner. Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by Flock or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond Flock’s reasonable control, but Flock shall use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by e-mail of any scheduled service disruption.
8.4 Disclaimer. THE REMEDY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 8.1 ABOVE IS CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDY, AND FLOCK’S SOLE LIABILITY, WITH RESPECT TO DEFECTS.
FLOCK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE; NOR DOES IT MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE SERVICES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND FLOCK

Title to any Flock Hardware shall not pass to Customer upon execution of this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, Customer is not permitted to remove, reposition, re-install, tamper with, alter, adjust or otherwise take possession or control of Flock Hardware. Customer agrees and understands that in the event Customer is found to engage in any of the foregoing restricted actions, all warranties herein shall be null and void, and this Agreement shall be subject to immediate termination for material breach by Customer. Customer shall not perform any acts which would interfere with the retention of title of the Flock Hardware by Flock. Should Customer default on any payment of the Flock Services, Flock may remove Flock Hardware at 105
Flock’s discretion. Such removal, if made by Flock, shall not be deemed a waiver of Flock’s rights to any damages Flock may sustain as a result of Customer’s default and Flock shall have the right to enforce any other legal remedy or right.
10.2 Deployment Plan. Flock shall advise Customer on the location and positioning of the Flock Hardware for optimal product functionality, as conditions and locations allow. Flock will collaborate with Customer to design the strategic geographic mapping of the location(s) and implementation of Flock Hardware to create a deployment plan (“Deployment Plan”). In the event that Flock determines that Flock Hardware will not achieve optimal functionality at a designated location, Flock shall have final discretion to veto a specific location, and will provide alternative options to Customer.

Customer is responsible for any applicable supplementary cost as described in the Customer Implementation Guide, attached hereto as Exhibit C (“Customer Obligations”). Customer represents and warrants that it has, or shall lawfully obtain, all necessary right title and authority and hereby authorizes Flock to install the Flock Hardware at the designated locations and to make any necessary inspections or maintenance in connection with such installation.
10.5 Flock’s Obligations. Installation of any Flock Hardware shall be installed in a professional manner within a commercially reasonable time from the Effective Date of this Agreement. Upon removal of Flock Hardware, Flock shall restore the location to its original condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Flock will continue to monitor the performance of Flock Hardware for the length of the Term. Flock may use a subcontractor or third party to perform certain obligations under this agreement, provided that Flock’s use of such subcontractor or third party shall not release Flock from any duty or liability to fulfill Flock’s obligations under this Agreement.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 12
AGENDA TRANSMITTAL
MEETING DATE:
June 20, 2023
CITY AGENDA ITEM:
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2023-___: Authorizing the Mayor to send a letter in opposition to AB 1637 (Irwin).
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact to the General Fund for this action.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Provide Good Governance.
BACKGROUND:
The League of California City has requested letters opposing AB 1637 (Irwin). AB 1637 would require cities and counties to secure and utilize their website through a new .gov or ca.gov domain no later than January 1, 2027. It would also require all of our employee email addresses to reflect the updated domain within the same timeframe.
STAFF REPORT:
The most significant reasons for the City to oppose this bill have to do with cost and complexity of the migration. Suisun City already has an established online presence with a different domain. Transitioning to a .gov or a ca.gov domain can be a complex and time-consuming process. It will involve redirecting URLs, updating email addresses, and ensuring compatibility with existing systems, potentially leading to disruptions in services and user experience during the transition.
Doing so is a significant lift that will be expensive and time consuming for staff to do all of this, especially since we just finished a complete upgrade to our website.
This bill contains NO state appropriation and is not contingent on any state funds, so it is essentially another unfunded mandate. Migrating to a new domain (and corresponding email addresses) would require significant investment, adversely impacting critical services and programs.
AB 1637 will result in confusion and frustration as residents are redirected from their trusted local agency website to an unfamiliar website.
AB 1637 hurts smaller entities the hardest. Those without dedicated IT staff or resources will have to contract out to meet the proposed deadline.
AB 1637 does not add any layer of new protection against cyber security threats.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023- ___: Authorizing the Mayor to send a letter in opposition to AB 1637 (Irwin).

RE
: AB 1637 (Irwin) Websites: Domain Names.
OPPOSE (As Amended 5/18/2023)
D
ear Senator Caballero,
T
he City of Suisun City regretfully must oppose Assembly Bill 1637 (Irwin) that would require cities and counties to secure and utilize their website through a new .gov or ca.gov domain no later than January 1, 2027. It would also require all of our employee email addresses to reflect the updated domain within the same time frame.
While we appreciate the intended goal of this measure and the perceived benefits that some believe utilizing a new domain may provide, we remain deeply concerned about the added costs associated with migrating to a new domain and corresponding email add resses that will adversely impact core principal programs and activites; confusion and frustration that will be created by forcing a new website to be utilized; the lack of any resources to better assist local agencies of varying sizes and capabilities wit h complying; and the absence of any study, review or report of capability gaps for the state to evaluate, adopt and share best practices. These recommendations were outlined in the Department of Homeland Security Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for State and Local Cybersecurity grant Program but failed to be included in AB 1637.
Su
isun City already has an established online presence with a different domain. Transitioning to a .gov or a ca.gov domain can be a complex and time-consuming process. It will involve redirecting URLs, updating email addresses, and ensuring compatibility with existing systems, potentially leading to disruptions in services and user experience during the transition. Doing so is a significant lift that will be expensive and time consuming for our staff to do all of this, especially since we just finished a complete upgrade to our website. 120
For these reasons, the City of Suisun City respectfully must oppose AB 1637 (Irwin).
Respectfully submitted,
Mayor Alma Hernandez

AGENDA ITEM NO. 13
AGENDA TRANSMITTAL
MEETING DATE:
June 20, 2023
CITY AGENDA ITEM:
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2023-___: Declaring its Intention to Establish a Community Facilities District and to Authorize the Levy of Special Taxes (Meridian West).
FISCAL IMPACT:
There would be an impact to the General Fund from this item. Once the Community Facilities District (CFD) is formed, the Meridian West project will begin to contribute funds towards Safety Services such as police and fire. The formation of Community Facilities District No. 5 meets the fiscal criteria as established by Resolution No. 2005-69 Cost Recovery Policy for New Development, dated October 4, 2005. Community Facilities District No. 5 is intended to offset Municipal Service costs, including administrative costs, thereby reducing the negative fiscal impact of new development on the City’s General Fund.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Provide Good Governance.
BACKGROUND:
New developments within the City are usually annexed to another City CFD, CFD No. 2; however, this project requires additional maintenance and services that are not authorized under CFD No. 2. As such, the City has received a petition from the property owner of the Meridian project to form a new CFD to pay for the services authorized in CFD 2 (all related administrative costs, related reserves for replacement of vehicles and equipment, police services; fire protection services; paramedical services; services for the maintenance of parks, parkways and open space [landscaping]; and services for the maintenance of storm drains), plus two items that were not authorized under CFD No. 2 (dredging maintenance and streetlight maintenance).
STAFF REPORT:
The process to form the new Communities Facilities District (CFD) No. 5 includes the following:
Accept the petition by property owner requesting that the City form the District. (6/20/2023) Adopt a Resolution of Intention to Establish CFD No. 5. (6/20/2023) Record the CFD boundary map with the County Recorder. (by 7/5/2023) Publish a hearing notice. (by July 25, 2023)

In addition, during the term of the appeal process, all Special Tax levied must be paid on or before the payment date established when the levy was made. 135
The appeal must specify the reasons why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination.
If the property owner disagrees with the CFD Administrator’s decision relative to the appeal, the owner may then file a written appeal with the City Council whose subsequent decision shall be final and binding on all intereste d parties. If the decision of the CFD Administrator or subsequent decision by the City Council requires the Special Tax to be modified or changed in favor of the property owner, the CFD administrator shall determine if sufficient Special Tax revenue is available to make a cash refund.
