[M.

Miller]
Summary: On August 21, 2018, City Council adopted Resolution No. 18-47, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Storm Water Management Plan (Plan). This Plan was established in response to the City’s Notice of Intent to comply with the California State Water Resources Control Board’s General Permit for stormwater discharges from small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4). Chapter 8 of the Plan, titled Post-Construction Stormwater Management, requires the city to review and update its current Engineering Standards to incorporate the regulatory requirements outlined in the General Permit. The development and implementation of post-construction stormwater management design standards will aid in the City’s continued compliance with the General Permit.

A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for On-Call Engineering and Land Surveying Consultants was issued on October 20, 2020. Ten (10) firms submitted all the necessary information to be considered for inclusion in a list of pre-approved consultants to provide these services. The proposals were reviewed and rated in accordance with the consultant selection procedures identified in the RFQ, and the top six (6) firms were recommended for inclusion on the list of prequalified general engineering and land surveying consultants. On December 15, 2020, the City Council approved this list of (6) consultants.

Provost & Pritchard of Visalia, CA is included on the list of pre-qualified on-call Engineering consultants and demonstrated in their proposal that they have the skills, expertise, and resources available to meet the City’s needs and timeframe to complete this project. Provost & Pritchard has proposed to perform the necessary work for $17,000. The proposed cost is in line with industry standards and has been included in the proposed project scope and budget.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): The source of funds for the proposed contract with Provost & Pritchard will be the Engineering Services Department’s Professional Services budget for FY 2024/2025.

Account # 008-4630-2017
Legal Review: The proposed professional services contract between the City and Provost & Pritchard will be reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - Proposed changes to the scope of work, conditions impacting the consultant’s proposal, or changes to the proposed contract would require staff to re-negotiate terms with the consultant; 2) Deny - Not approving the contract or project scope and budget would halt progress towards the City’s efforts to comply with State requirements for reducing the risk of water pollution resulting from storm water discharges; or 3) Table - A delay in the City approving the proposed contract or project scope and budget could result in the need to re-negotiate the proposal submitted by the consultant, which could result Tulare City Council Page 4
Agenda Memo - November 19, 2024
in an increase to their proposed fees. Additionally, failure by the City to develop and implement best management practices for storm water discharges in a timely fashion could result in regulatory actions imposed on the City by the State Water Resources Control Board.

13.5 Award of Contract for PS&E Phase of Tesori-Bella Oaks Improvements.

Recommended Action: Approve the project scope and budget for City Project EN0101 – “Tesori-Bella Oaks Improvements”; authorize the City Manager to sign a contract with 4Creeks of Visalia, CA in an amount not to exceed $163,900 for preparation of Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E), including topographic surveying, utility coordination, design, permitting, bidding and construction support services for Project EN0101; and authorize the City Manager or designee to approve contract change orders in an amount not to exceed 10% ($16,300) of the contract award amount. [M. Miller]
Summary: The City of Tulare entered into a subdivision improvement agreement in 2008 for the Bella Oaks subdivision with Great Valley Builders, Inc. and Hidden Oak Development Company, Inc. (Developer). The City also entered into a subdivision improvement agreement in 2010 for the Tesori subdivision with Del Lago Place, LLC (Developer). The Developers were required by the agreements to complete all necessary subdivision improvements which were secured by performance bonds through the International Fidelity Insurance Company (Insurer).

For various reasons, some of the work associated with each subdivision was not completed.

The Del Lago Place, LLC agreement was amended and extended several times over the years.

In 2019, the City provided the Developer with a list of incomplete items, and in 2020, the City declared the Developer in default and made a claim against the performance bond. Litigation ensued, resulting in court ordered mediation, the outcome of which was a settlement agreement.

Under the settlement agreement, the Developer was to remit payment of $1,300,000 to the City for the incomplete work. In exchange, the City was to assume responsibility for completing the list of incomplete work identified by the City in 2019 associated with the Tesori and Bella Oaks subdivisions.

On July 12, 2022, Council authorized the City Manager to execute the settlement agreement between the City of Tulare, and Del Lago Place, LLC, Great Valley Builders, Inc. Hidden Oak Development Company, Inc., and International Fidelity Insurance Company.

Proposed project EN0101 - “Tesori-Bella Oaks Improvements” would complete the Mooney Boulevard (State Route 63) frontage improvements along the frontages of the Tesori and Bella Oaks subdivisions, including the connection of Bella Oaks Avenue to Mooney Boulevard as required by the subdivisions’ conditions of approval. The improvements will include the relocation and undergrounding of existing overhead utilities, curb and gutter, pave-out, sidewalk, street lighting, landscaping, storm drainage, water, and median island improvements.

Anticipated construction costs to complete the project improvements is estimated at approximately $5.6 million.

To complete the aforementioned improvements, updated improvement plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) will need to be prepared. Utility coordination will be required for the relocation and undergrounding of overhead utility lines. Approval and permitting by Caltrans will also be required due to Mooney Boulevard’s designation as State Highway 63.

A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for On-Call Engineering and Land Surveying Consultants was issued on October 20, 2020. Ten (10) firms submitted all the necessary information to be considered for inclusion in a list of pre-approved consultants to provide these services. The Tulare City Council Page 5
Agenda Memo - November 19, 2024
proposals were reviewed and rated in accordance with the consultant selection procedures identified in the RFQ, and the top six (6) firms were recommended for inclusion on the list of prequalified general engineering and land surveying consultants. On December 15, 2020, the City Council approved this list of (6) consultants.
4 Creeks of Visalia, CA is included on the list of pre-qualified on-call Engineering consultants and demonstrated in their proposal that they have the skills, expertise and resources available to meet the City’s needs and timeframe to complete the PS&E phase of this project. 4Creeks has proposed to perform the necessary work for $163,900. The proposed cost is in line with industry standards and has been included in the proposed project scope and budget.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): The source of funds for the proposed contract with 4Creeks will be the balance of funds received by the City as a result of the settlement agreement with the Developers of the Tesori and Bella Oaks subdivisions.

Legal Review: The proposed professional services contract between the City and 4Creeks will be reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - Proposed changes to the scope of work, conditions impacting the consultant’s proposal, or changes to the proposed contract would require staff to negotiate with the consultant; 2) Deny - Not approving the contract or project scope and budget would halt progress towards the construction of uncompleted improvements assumed by the City through the settlement agreement with the Developers of the Tesori and Bella Oaks subdivisions; or 3) Table - A delay in the City approving the proposed contract or project scope and budget could result in the need to re-negotiate the proposal submitted by the consultant, which could result in an increase to their proposed fees.

13.6 Easement to SCE for Utilities Associated with Project FM0046.

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute a Grant of Easement and Certificate of Conveyance to Southern California Edison Company (SCE) for installation and maintenance of SCE utilities associated with City Project FM0046 – Court House Renovation and Parking Lot, subject only to minor conforming and clarifying changes acceptable to the City Attorney and City Manager. [M. Miller]
Summary: As part of the improvements being made by CIP Project FM0046 - Courthouse Renovation and Parking Lot Rehabilitation (a.k.a., Tulare Business Incubator), the City was required to upgrade the existing SCE electrical service located in the alley between “M” and “N” Streets. SCE is requiring that the City grant them the subject easement for underground electrical supply systems and communication systems. This will allow for to construct, use, maintain, operate, alter, add to, repair, replace, reconstruct, inspect and remove said improvements at any time as needed. The conveyance of such easements to SCE is normal practice when development is required to underground existing SCE infrastructure.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Legal Review: The submittal from SCE follows their standard format and has been accepted in prior SCE easement dedication requests made to the City.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - Changes made to the easement would require a new submittal from the applicant and review by staff. Changes would be brought to a later Council meeting for acceptance of Grant of Easement and Certificate of Conveyance; 2) Deny - Denial of the easement request would not allow SCE to construct, maintain and repair utilities Tulare City Council Page 6
Agenda Memo - November 19, 2024
located along the City Hall alleyway; or 3) Table - Tabling the SCE easement request would delay SCE’s ability to proceed with the relocation and undergrounding of their utilities.

13.7 Grant Deed in Fee Title for Lot R of the Wild Oak Subdivision.

Recommended Action: Accept in fee title the Grant Deed for Lot R of the Wild Oak subdivision. [M. Miller]
Summary: As part of the Wild Oak subdivision, a Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) was established to maintain common area landscaping and a neighborhood park. For the landscape lots to be maintained by the LMD, they must be deeded to the City. The recorded final subdivision map for Wild Oak identified Landscape Lots A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, and R as being offered to the City “for landscaping, public sidewalk, and block wall purposes, and for the maintenance thereof”. However, Lot R was not listed in the City Clerk’s Statement as being accepted by the City. It is now necessary to accept Lot R through a separate Grant Deed and Certificate of Acceptance to rectify this error. Copies of the proposed Grant Deed from D.R. Horton CA3, Inc. and a Certificate of Acceptance are attached for reference.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Legal Review: The City Attorney has reviewed and approved to form the Engineering Department’s standard deed acceptance template.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - Staff would incorporate changes directed by Council. Minor changes would likely result in no impact; 2) Deny - Denial of the subject grant deed would prevent Lot R from being maintained by the Wild Oak LMD and would ultimately lead to ambiguity in who is responsible for the maintenance of Lot R; or 3) Table - Tabling the item would postpone incorporation of Lot R into the Landscape and Maintenance district and could affect its maintenance.

13.8 Oversized Construction Reimbursement Agreement for the Little Caesars Commercial Development.

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute an oversized construction reimbursement agreement with Gussan Shedid for construction costs associated with the Little Caesars commercial development that are eligible for reimbursement in accordance with Chapter 8.64 of the Municipal Code, subject only to minor conforming and clarifying changes acceptable to the City Attorney and City Manager; authorize a transfer from the Streets & Traffic Signals Development Impact Fee Fund (Fund 230) to the General Fund (Fund 001) of $210,823.16; authorize the establishment of $260,919.75 appropriation in the General Fund Oversize Liability – Principal (001-4320-8206) account for the payment of the reimbursement attributable to new growth; and authorize the use of $50,096.59 of General Fund fund balance for payment of the remainder of the reimbursement. [M. Miller] Summary: Through the conditions of approval for the Little Caesars commercial development located along the east side of Mooney Boulevard north of Bardsley Avenue (920 S. Mooney Boulevard), the Developer, Gussan Shedid, was required to install oversized street improvements. These included, but were not limited to, the following:
• Construction of median improvements in Mooney Boulevard across the project’s frontage. • Oversize paving associated with Mooney Boulevard street improvements.

Costs associated with supplemental size and capacity are eligible for oversized construction reimbursement in accordance with Chapter 8.64 of the Municipal Code. The attached oversized Tulare City Council Page 7
Agenda Memo - November 19, 2024
construction reimbursement agreement identifies the work completed by the Developer that is reimbursable under the City’s oversize reimbursement procedures and specifies that the City will reimburse the developer for their expenditures plus accrued interest as funding becomes available through the City’s development impact fee program. Since a portion of the need for the improvements was attributable to existing development, a proportional share in the amount of 19.2% of the reimbursement costs will come from the General Fund.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): Sufficient fund balance exists in the Streets & Traffic Signals Development Impact Fee Fund to accommodate the transfer of $210,823.16 to the General Fund to cover new development’s share of the cost of oversize reimbursement. And sufficient fund balance exists in General Fund to appropriate $50,096.59 to cover the remainder of the reimbursement attributable to existing development.

Fund 230 (DIF - Local Street & Traffic Signals) $210,823.16 Fund 001 (General Fund – Fund Balance) $50,096.59
Legal Review: The oversized construction reimbursement agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - Minor changes would likely result in no impact; 2) Deny - The City entered into a preliminary oversized construction reimbursement agreement with the developer prior to start of construction for the work described. Per the provisions of the fee mitigation act, failing to reimburse the Developer for improvements required by the City to address impacts above and beyond those directly attributable to the development could result in litigation. Additionally, the developer may avoid undertaking future projects within the City limits; or 3) Table - A delay in the City’s approval of the oversized construction reimbursement agreement could delay oversize reimbursement payments to the Developer and incur additional interest charges to the City.

13.9 Dispatch Services with Tulare County Consolidated Ambulance Dispatch, Inc.

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to approve and execute the fire and emergency services dispatch agreement between the City of Tulare and Tulare County Consolidated Ambulance Dispatch, Inc (TCCAD). [M. Ott]
Summary: The City of Tulare is seeking approval to enter into a new agreement with TCCAD for the continuation of fire and emergency services dispatch. TCCAD has provided fire and emergency services dispatch to the City of Tulare under the previous contract at $25.00 per call dated September 1, 2019. The new agreement has a price per call increase to $34.00 in the first year of the contract, $35.36 for the second year, $36.42 for the third year. Yearly costs are aligned with City of Tulare fiscal year calendar, except for this first year, which will start on and backdate to September 1, 2024.

These critical dispatch services are how the citizens and visitors of our city gain access to emergency lifesaving medical intervention and other fire and emergency services responses.

The City of Tulare Fire Department averages approximately 600 calls for service each month which equates to about $15,000.00 a month for dispatch services under the previous contract.

The increased cost per call will bring it to approximately $20,400.00 a month for dispatch services, however costs will fluctuate due to call volume.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): Funds are appropriated and available in 001-4230-2015 Communication for this agreement.

Legal Review: Legal counsel has reviewed and approved of the agreement.

13.10 Subscribe to Amazon Services, LLC and Join OMNIA Partners, Inc. for Purchases.

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents to purchase an Amazon Services, LLC (“Amazon Business”) subscription and join OMNIA Partners, Inc. (“OMNIA”) for purchases of various materials and supplies. [M. Roberts] Summary: Currently, the City purchases materials, supplies, and equipment through various retailers. The items purchased vary by department and, in many cases, retailers are not providing special governmental pricing, quantity discounts or favorable terms. Amazon Business, through its partnership with OMNIA, a prominent national cooperative purchasing program, provides a unique government account which streamlines purchasing for governmental entities. Benefits of this arrangement include application of government tax exemption, monitored compliance, pricing discounts, strategic sourcing initiatives, and free shipping.

Subscribing to Amazon Business would provide City staff access to a wide, yet organized, selection of items which can be purchased to meet the day-to-day needs of the City. It would also allow the City to consolidate individual accounts into one City-wide managed account, which would help streamline and otherwise improve the City’s procurement process. Amazon Business offers a multi-level approval system that serves as a compliance mechanism by ensuring staff adhere to procurement policies, including preventing unauthorized expenditures from exceeding established limits, and improves efficiency, thus saving time. Additionally, Amazon Business offers integration capabilities with purchasing platforms such as Tyler Technologies’ Enterprise system, implemented of which is underway with the City with a projected “go-live” date of July 1, 2025.

Using Amazon Business, quantity discounts may be leveraged for purchases greater than $7,500 or 999 units, a benefit not provided with the consumer-focused Amazon Prime account.

A 1% rebate is also offered on purchases up to an annual cumulative amount equal to the Amazon Business subscription cost.

Through OMNIA, Amazon Business has been awarded two multi-year, competitively solicited contracts which offer public sector organizations state- and agency-level bid contracts. These cooperative contract purchasing opportunities and solutions allow OMNIA’s members to make purchases using the Amazon Business platform for multiple competitively awarded categories, reducing the need for multiple quotes, and in some cases, eliminating a lengthy formal procurement process. The purchasing opportunities available through OMNIA’s cooperative bids provide its members both time and cost savings because they leverage needs of a consolidated group under competitively sourced agreements entered into for the express purposes of providing greater cost savings and reduced time to obtain various goods and services.

In addition to the benefits described above, the ability to view pricing and availability of products across various suppliers on one curated site would enhance staff’s ability to weigh timeliness of delivery versus cost when making purchase decisions. And subscribing to one City-wide account would eliminate the need for multiple individual Amazon.com accounts for which the current cost is $139 per year. This would generate savings for the first year of the Amazon Business subscription, for which the cost would be waived, and would partially offset the subscription cost for future years.

To improve the procurement process and reduce the costs for various materials, supplies, and equipment, staff is requesting approval to purchase an Amazon Business subscription for Tulare City Council Page 9
Agenda Memo - November 19, 2024
$1,299 annually with the first year’s cost waived and to join OMNIA partners. As is current practice, the departments will continue using their operating budgets and project funding to purchase various goods from Amazon Business.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): Other than the annual Amazon Business subscription cost of $1,299, the first year of which would be waived, the fiscal impact of transitioning to Amazon Business is unknown. However, based on the City’s current practice of purchasing from various retailers, many of which do not provide government discounts or benefits, adopting this procurement method is expected to yield significant savings for the City over time.

Legal Review: The City Attorney’s review of the Amazon Business subscription and OMNIA registration documents will be requested as needed prior to execution by the City Manager.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table.

14.1 Citizens Option for Public Safety 2024/2025 Program Funds.

Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution approving the acceptance and appropriation of Citizens Option for Public Safety (COPS) 2024/2025 Program funds from the State of California in the amount of $109,333 to be used to fund one police officer position. [F. Ynclan] Summary: Since 1997, the California State Budget Act has included allocations to counties and cities for the COPS program. This funding is intended to fill the need for additional resources at the local level to ensure public safety. Funds must supplement existing services and cannot be used to supplant any existing funds. The funds cannot be used for administrative overhead costs in excess of ½ percent of the total allocation. The allocation may not be used to fund the costs of any capital project or construction project that does not directly support frontline law enforcement. Each city is required to deposit the funds into a separate Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund so that these funds are not intermingled with General Fund dollars.

The 2023/2024 COPS award for Tulare is in the amount of $109,333. Staff proposes to use the COPS funds to supplement one police officer position.

14.2 City of Tulare Health Care Center Term Sheet.

Recommended Action: Approve the City of Tulare Health Care Center term sheet with Elite Corporate Medical Services, Inc. (Elite) and authorize the City Attorney to prepare the Agreement. [S. Oneal; M. Mondell]
Summary: City management has been exploring the possibility of opening a health care center for City employees with a goal of supporting employee wellness with quick and easy access to medical care. The following actions have already occurred:

On July 20, 2024, the City issued a Request for Proposals for a health care center. Proposals were due on September 3, 2024.

Tulare City Council Page 11
Agenda Memo - November 19, 2024
On September 23, 2024, the City review panel conducted an initial screening of the proposals.

On October 3, 2024, the review panel held interviews with all firms who submitted proposals.

On October 7, 2024, the review panel unanimously recommended Elite to move forward in the process. The other proposals received were from:
- Adventist Health: Annual estimated operating cost $971,280 (or $95 per member). - Concentra Onsite Health: Annual estimated operating cost $615,557 (or $60 per member).

Since the initial selection has been made, staff has been negotiating the terms of an agreement with Elite which follow:
o The Employee Health Center (Center) is to be located within the city limits, preferably within Downtown, and shall be exclusive to the City of Tulare, unless an agreement is reached to allow other organization participation.
o An initial three-year agreement (to commence no later than March 1, 2025). o The Center will operate for a minimum of 32 hours per week during normal business hours (9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday). Alternative hours or extended hours (including Saturdays) can be agreed to by separate letter. o Two additional five-year option terms (fee to be renegotiated). o City shall pay to Elite a monthly fee of $40,194.67. The parties agree that the monthly fee and services will be reviewed on an annual basis and may result in an amendment to the agreement if mutually agreeable. A mutually agreeable increase per year, not to exceed published COLA.
o City shall pay Elite an initial one-time startup fee of $16,220.00. This fee is for all necessary licensing, IT set-up and hardware, IS programming, Electronic Medical Records set-up and licensing, and any other related initial account set-up fees. o Facility & Exam Rooms – City will be given a pass-through cost of the furniture/equipment and improvements, reimbursed to Elite up to $30,000 upon issuance of certificate of occupancy along with proof of expenditures to cover its portion of the initial tenant improvement and equipment cost. All improvements and purchases require advance City review, approval, and permitting as applicable. o City agrees to a flat rate of $5,400 per exam/lab room as desired based on mutually agreed upon final clinic design.
o Default – Both parties to provide written notice and allow 60-day cure period not including a force majeure event.
o Elite is solely responsible for the management and day to day operations of the Center including:
 Staffing of medical, technical, and support staff which hold the property licensures and certifications and demonstrate strong interpersonal skills, a service mentality, and passion for the treatment, care, and recovery of patients including one bilingual staff member located at the Center.
 Supply and inventory management.
 Medical administration of patient care including patient management and referral management (including Medicare).
 Maintain patient records in a secure environment and in compliance with HIPAA regulations.
 Actively manage patient health by deploying target wellness and chronic disease management initiatives.
 Provide regularly scheduled reports to the City that sufficiently describe the Tulare City Council Page 12

 Refer patients to cost-effective, local providers who are in the City’s medical insurance network.
 Refer post-65-year-old patients to Medicare providers. o Elite will ensure the Center will accept walk-in patients and same day appointments to the extent possible and will provide an online scheduling option. o Elite shall be responsible for all maintenance, repair, and replacement of City purchased equipment, except for any special equipment requests.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): A summary of the estimated expenses and potential funding options are found below. These numbers are variable and depend on utilization rates, new entities being added for cost sharing, prescription rebates, etc.

14.3 Emergency Homeless Shelter Operations Scoping Exercise.

Recommended Action: Receive a report regarding the emergency homeless shelter operations scoping exercise and provide direction thereto. [M. Mondell] Summary: On September 17, 2024, City Council awarded a contract to construct the emergency homeless shelter (shelter) which is anticipated to be completed within 12 months.

Tulare City Council Page 13
Agenda Memo - November 19, 2024
Staff is in the process of negotiating an operator term sheet and is seeking Council’s confirmation or correction in terms of staff’s understanding of the mission, goals, objectives, and outcomes of how the shelter should be operated.

It is and has been staff’s understanding that the City has designed, is now constructing, and will operate (with the assistance of a third-party not-for-profit operator) a shelter and not a navigation center. The shelter, like a navigation center, will allow Tulare based homeless individuals to bring their personal belongings and a dog with them into the facility. However, the shelter is intended to only provide for basic needs and services with the goal of assisting individuals to achieve permanent non-supportive and supportive housing (as applicable). The shelter and its programs will incorporate a navigation component into its operations for those that are voluntarily needing additional supportive services.

In other words, the shelter does not provide permanent supportive housing, it serves as a gateway into the continuum of care for unhoused individuals.

The overarching philosophy or belief behind this approach includes the following:
• The City believes, to the extent possible, that it is incumbent upon individuals to become financially independent, and
• Employment can provide individuals with purpose and a source of income to become financially independent, and
• It is not the responsibility nor obligation of the taxpayers to financially support unhoused individuals within the shelter on a permanent basis, however, • Some individuals may from time to time find themselves in situations where they are temporarily unable to fully care for themselves due to trauma, violence, mental or emotional health decline, addictions, or their own poor decisions, or choices, and • In those instances, those individuals and others who are less fortunate may find themselves in a position of being unhoused either temporarily or permanently depending upon their specific circumstances, and
• In those instances, the City and the taxpayers have a responsibility and a desire to remove the blight that is caused by homelessness and to do so in a manner that is humane, fiscally prudent, and legally compliant, and
• The provision of a shelter is an appropriate and effective vehicle through which unhoused individuals may seek temporary housing and assistance ideally leading to employment and financial independence, and
• A shelter is also an appropriate and effective vehicle through which individuals with a disability may receive respite care and other basic assistance while implementing a plan to secure other interim and permanent housing, and
• The City has and will continue to mitigate adverse effects associated with homelessness and contends that a shelter is a necessary tool to help lessen the impacts of the phenomena on unhoused individuals and the larger community.

Tulare City Council Page 14
Agenda Memo - November 19, 2024
Therefore, staff has outlined the anticipated mission, goals, objectives, and outcomes associated with shelter operations for Council consideration, confirmation or correction as follows and subject to change:

Proposed Mission Statement:

The shelter will function to provide a humane, safe, and clean public facility for Tulare based individuals experiencing homelessness to reside, address basic needs, and use services intended to address their physical health, behavioral health, employment, social welfare, and/or housing outcomes.

The facility will operate as an emergency shelter principally, which may involve short or longterm periods of participation (i.e. eligible homeless individuals may reside at the facility for any length of time). Homeless individuals may register at the shelter by way of walk-in or referral, with a primary nonprofit organization responsible for intake and managing occupancy of noncongregate and congregate bed spaces.

The facility will provide for the basic needs of individuals and is not intended to provide a high degree of comfort or convenience. This approach is meant to encourage individuals to desire and strive for better living conditions and therefore work with the operator to achieve such an outcome.

The facility will include three levels of residency including an entry level, participation level, and recovery level. Each level will be offered on a voluntary basis and include increasing levels of benefits and responsibility. Individuals that are participating in the recovery level will be given the opportunity for gainful part-time employment with the City or one of it’s participating partner organizations as a means to build a work history for potential future employment.

Goals and Objectives:

To implement the City’s mission statement for the shelter, a series of measurable goals and objectives should be established as follows.

1. Reduce the number of homeless individuals living unsheltered and encamping on public and private property throughout the City.

2. Provide eligible guests with adequate sustenance, sleeping, communal, storage spaces, and hygiene facilities.

3. Provide staff training and appropriate on-site personnel to identify, mitigate, and prevent acts of theft, vandalism, verbal and physical harassment, alcohol use, drug use, and violence.

4. Conduct regular inspection, janitorial, and maintenance services on all shelter areas, buildings, and equipment.

5. Provide eligible guests with on-site services including, but not limited to, enrollment into the Coordinated Entry System, awareness of Continuum of Care organizations and their resources, case management, and housing navigation.

6. Provide eligible guests with coordination and connection to on- or off-site services including, but not limited to, social welfare programs, job-training and employment placement, physical healthcare, and behavioral healthcare.

Tulare City Council Page 15
Agenda Memo - November 19, 2024

7. Facilitate sustainable exits to interim and/or permanent housing for guests.

8. Identify and mitigate factors that cause guests to exit the facility and return to an unsheltered living situation.

9. Develop and maintain an effective and efficient operating budget; and,

10. Develop and implement an effective policies and procedures for operations.

Outcomes:

To achieve the goals and objectives outcome targets have been identified as follows:

1. A year-to-year reduction in the number of homeless / unsheltered individuals living in the City of Tulare by way of Point-In-Time Count results.

2. Track and observe a reduction in the number of calls for service, cleanups, and code enforcement actions related to homeless individuals.

3. Daily access to two (2) nutritional meals, an assortment of snacks, and drinks for all guests (2,400 calories per day).

4. Biannual staff training in de-escalation, motivational interviewing, trauma informed care, and other competencies.

5. Number of Involuntary exits related to a violation of rule(s) equals less than 20 percent of the total number of guests annually.

6. Operable and sanitary bed, hygiene, office, and communal facilities.

7. 60 percent or more of all guests each year achieve enrollment in the Coordinated Entry System and participate in case management and housing navigation service.

8. 30 percent or more of all guests each year utilize one or more of the advertised and available social, physical healthcare, or behavioral healthcare services.

9. 25 percent or more of all guests each year will exit to interim or permanent housing.

10. 25 percent or less of all the exits of guests in given year will involve a return to an unsheltered living situation.

11. Total expenditures each year will remain within 75 percent of the annual operating budget plan; and,

12. Surveys of community stakeholders and guests will indicate an approval rating of over 50% of all respondents.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): The City is in the process of constructing a shelter and is negotiating the terms of an operator agreement. Staff currently anticipates the annual shelter operating cost to be approximately $2,000,000 which may decrease or increase depending upon Council direction hereto.

Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table. If Council delays in providing direction, then there may be a delay in negating the term sheet and eventual operating agreement.

14.4 Final American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Allocations.

Recommended Action: Receive a presentation on the status of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) fund expenditures and adopt a resolution allocating ARPA funds and directing staff to re-allocate all funds available after the completion of projects toward the construction of the Emergency Shelter. [J. McDonnell]
Summary: On August 20, 2024, Council received a staff report and presentation regarding final dispersal of remaining American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds and directed staff to gather additional information and report back to Council.

All ARPA funds must be under contract by December 31, 2024, or the City will forfeit them back to the federal government. To date, the majority of available ARPA funds have been appropriated by Council and are now under contract. However, several projects have either not come to fruition or not spent the entirety of their original ARPA allocation, which necessitates the re-appropriation of some remaining ARPA dollars. The City of Tulare received $18,024,068 in ARPA funds from the federal government. Over the past several years, the City Council has appropriated these funds to a variety of projects as follows:

Project/Program Amount
ARPA Consultant $75,000
Marketing and Social Media $75,000
Set aside for ongoing Pandemic Response $50,000
Courthouse Remodel $1,300,000
Downtown Façade/Rehabilitation Grant $1,000,000
Downtown Master Plan Update $100,000
Homeless Shelter $2,000,000
Zumwalt Park Refurbishment $5,000,000
Vaccination Incentive $220,000
City Employee One-Time Bonus $681,800
Fire Department Ladder Truck $1,500,000

Tulare Joint Union High School – 50M Pool $500,000
City Council Service Projects $942,268
Total Allocation $18,024,068
As Council is aware, all of the amounts identified above must be under contract by December 31, 2024. The majority of these monies are already under contract or will soon be. Additionally, several of the ARPA-funded projects are now complete, but not all of the originally appropriated funds were expended. Thus, a re-allocation of these monies is necessary to ensure that all ARPA funds have been appropriated and are under contract by December 31, 2024, as required by Federal law.

Tulare City Council Page 17
Agenda Memo - November 19, 2024
The table of projects has been expanded below to provide Council with a “snapshot” of amounts that have been expended to-date by project, whether projects are complete or not, remaining balances, and identified amounts that are now available for re-allocation to alternative items.

Please note that due to rounding, ongoing balance changes, and projected additional needs to close some items out, each row of numbers may not precisely add up – and won’t do so until all projects are closed out.

It has been confirmed that the South Highway 99 undercrossing will utilize a separate funding stream, which makes $1,200,000 available. In addition, the Financial System Replacement project is no longer projected to require the full $1,650,000 that was originally allocated. Finally, savings from other projects account for an additional $300,000+ in funding availability. In total, almost $1.9 million is available for re-appropriation.

At the August 20 meeting, staff requested that Council direct all existing and future ARPA monies that become available for re-allocation be appropriated to the Homeless Shelter project, to continue to offset that project’s General Fund Reserve cost to the City.

Council continued the ARPA agenda item to provide additional time to potentially identify additional or alternative projects or programs for Council consideration. As a result, staff and three councilmembers identified two items for additional funding consideration. The items are as follows:

Staff-Identified items:
• Downtown Infrastructure Study - $90,000
• Motorola radio replacements for Police Department - $40,000 • Additional Chamber of Commerce Appropriation for TBIZ - $25,000 Tulare City Council Page 18

• Improvements to Tulare Boxing Club, to be completed as part of the Homeless Shelter project - $120,000
Councilman Sigala items (from City Council Service Project Allocation):
• $7,500 Amvets - nonprofit
• $5,000 Police Activities League - city department
• $5,000 Police Explorers - city department
• $10,000 Mission Oak High School Associated Student Body- high school district • $10,000 Tulare Western High School MeCHA club - high school district • $10,000 Mulcahy Middle school 8th grade Associated Student Body - city school district • $5,000 Tulare Tool Shed Program - city department
Mayor Sayre items (from City Council Service Project Allocation):
• $5,000 for Women’s Clubhouse renderings
The items listed above account for $382,500. Staff recommends that Council adopt the attached resolution, which includes the items above and further identifies the Homeless Shelter project as the recipient of all remaining non-appropriated monies as well as unspent appropriated monies that remain after completion of currently appropriated projects. This action would drastically reduce the impact the proposed Homeless Shelter is projected to have on the City’s General Fund Reserves which is currently identified as being $3,500,000.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): If approved, this action would reduce the financial impact of the construction of the Homeless Shelter to General Fund Reserves by over $1,500,000.

Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table.

14.5 Artificial Intelligence Guiding Document.

Recommended Action: Receive a guiding document outlining the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by local governments. [J. Bowling]
Summary: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already revolutionized the business world and is fundamentally changing the way businesses meet their mission. Governments must embrace these opportunities head-on to stay current, remain competitive, be good stewards of public trust and protect against misuse. Many commercially available software packages are starting to incorporate AI technologies into their product offerings. As the City of Tulare continues to grow and change it is important that there is discussion around the use of Artificial Intelligence.

There are multiple governmental coalitions and educational institutions that offer guidance to local governments to help to establish safeguards for the use of AI. Information Technology staff at the City of Tulare have reviewed information from many of these entities and has created a “guiding document” to help with the discussion surrounding the use of AI for City of Tulare.

This short 8-page document offers a high-level overview of the key points related to the use of AI in local government. Included in the document are identified resources that provide attritional information.

Agenda Title: Award of Contract for Development of Post Construction Stormwater Management Design Standards

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the project scope and budget for development and implementation of Post Construction Stormwater Low Impact Development Standards; authorize the City Manager to sign a contract with Provost & Pritchard of Visalia, CA in an amount not to exceed $17,000; and authorize the City Manager or designee to approve contract change orders in an amount not to exceed 20% ($3,400) of the contract award amount.

SUMMARY
On August 21, 2018, City Council adopted Resolution No. 18-47, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Storm Water Management Plan (Plan). This Plan was established in response to the City’s Notice of Intent to comply with the California State Water Resources Control Board’s General Permit for stormwater discharges from small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4). Chapter 8 of the Plan, titled Post-Construction Stormwater Management, requires the city to review and update its current Engineering Standards to incorporate the regulatory requirements outlined in the General Permit.

The development and implementation of post-construction stormwater management design standards will aid in the City’s continued compliance with the General Permit.

A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for On-Call Engineering and Land Surveying Consultants was issued on October 20, 2020. Ten (10) firms submitted all the necessary information to be considered for inclusion in a list of pre-approved consultants to provide these services. The proposals were reviewed and rated in accordance with the consultant selection procedures identified in the RFQ, and the top six (6) firms were recommended for inclusion on the list of prequalified general engineering and land surveying consultants. On December 15, 2020, the City Council approved this list of (6) consultants.

Provost & Pritchard of Visalia, CA is included on the list of pre-qualified on-call Engineering consultants and demonstrated in their proposal that they have the skills, expertise, and resources available to meet the City’s needs and timeframe to complete this project. Provost & Pritchard has proposed to perform the necessary work for $17,000. The proposed cost is in line with industry standards and has been included in the proposed project scope and budget.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCE(S)
The source of funds for the proposed contract with Provost & Pritchard will be the Engineering Services Department’s Professional Services budget for FY 2024/2025.

Account # 008-4630-2017

LEGAL REVIEW
The proposed professional services contract between the City and Provost & Pritchard will be reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Item #: 13.4
Consent

13.4 Consent Page 1

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Approve with changes – Proposed changes to the scope of work, conditions impacting the consultant’s proposal, or changes to the proposed contract would require staff to re-negotiate terms with the consultant.

2. Deny – Not approving the contract or project scope and budget would halt progress towards the City’s efforts to comply with State requirements for reducing the risk of water pollution resulting from storm water discharges.

3. Table – A delay in the City approving the proposed contract or project scope and budget could result in the need to re-negotiate the proposal submitted by the consultant, which could result in an increase to their proposed fees. Additionally, failure by the City to develop and implement best management practices for storm water discharges in a timely fashion could result in regulatory actions imposed on the City by the State Water Resources Control Board.

Subject: Engineering and Land Surveying Services for the City of Tulare Post Construction Stormwater Low Impact Development (LID) Design Standards, Tulare, California Dear Jan,
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal to provide engineering services for the subject project.

This proposal discusses our understanding of the project, recommends a scope of services together with associated fees, deliverables and approximate schedules, sets forth our assumptions and discusses other services that may be of interest as the project proceeds.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
It is Provost & Pritchard’s (P&P) understanding that City of Tulare (City) staff would like assistance with developing a Post-Construction Stormwater Low Impact Development (LID) Design Standards that complies with Section E.12.e of the 2013 Phase II Small MS4 General Permit (MS4 Permit). This document will provide guidance for planning, implementing and maintaining LID standards designed to reduce runoff, treat stormwater, and provide baseline hydromodification management to the extent feasible to improve water quality and mitigate potential water quality impacts from stormwater and non-stormwater runoff.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our proposed scope of work for this proposal is segregated into several phases, described below.

PHASE LID: POST-CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT (LID) DESIGN STANDARDS
• Prepare draft LID Design Standards for review by the City including the following components:
a. Regulatory Requirements and Roles
b. Applicability to Small and Regulated Projects
c. Submittal and Review Process
d. Requirements for Small Projects
e. Requirements for Regulated Projects
f. Operation and Maintenance of Post-Construction Measures g. Municipal-Specific Information
h. Project Worksheets and Forms
i. Design Standards References
• After the City has reviewed the draft LID Design Standards, a meeting via Teams will be held with City staff to discuss the City’s review comments.

\\EgnyteDrive\Docs\Marketing\Proposals\2024\City of Tulare - LID Post Construction Standards 24-452\Working Drafts\240916_proposal_Tulare LID Standards.docx • The City’s comments will be incorporated into the draft report and the final LID Design Standards will be prepared for City adoption.

Deliverable(s):
• Draft LID Design Standards
• Final LID Design Standards Specific work task
• Specific deliverable

PROFESSIONAL FEES
Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group will perform the services in this Phase on a time and materials basis, in accordance with our Standard Fee Schedule in effect at the time services are rendered. These fees will be invoiced monthly as they are accrued, and our total fees, including reimbursable expenses, will not exceed our estimate of $ 17,000.00 without additional authorization. If the scope changes materially from that described above, as a result of any agency’s decision or because of changes requested by the Owner, we will prepare a revised estimate of our fees for your approval before we proceed.

SCHEDULE
Once we receive an executed copy of this Proposal together with the signed Consultant Services Agreement and are authorized to proceed, we can prepare the Draft LID Design Standards Plan for initial submittal in approximately 8 weeks. Agency review time is beyond our control. If an additional submittal is required after initial review, we will be prepared to re-submit 4 after we receive agency comments.

ASSUMPTIONS
• This proposal is based on the SWRCB’s Water Quality Order No. 2013-0001-DWQ, 2013 Phase II Small MS4 General Permit (MS4 Permit), Section E.12.
• The State Water Board does not modify any permit requirements throughout the contract period. • The City will provide responses to information and document requests in a timely fashion. • One meeting via Teams has been included in the fee estimate.

LIMITATIONS:
• P&P will perform its services in a manner consistent with the standards of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the profession practicing under similar conditions in the geographic vicinity and at the time the services will be performed.
• Regulations and professional standards applicable to P&P's services are continually evolving.

Techniques and interpretations are, by necessity, often new and relatively untried and based on new or changing regulations. Different professionals may reasonably adopt different approaches to similar problems. Therefore, no warranty or guarantee, express or implied, will be included in P&P's scope of services.
• All information gathered during the study by P&P is considered confidential and will be released only upon written authorization of the Client or as required by law.

The City of Tulare entered into a subdivision improvement agreement in 2008 for the Bella Oaks subdivision with Great Valley Builders, Inc. and Hidden Oak Development Company, Inc. (Developer).

The City also entered into a subdivision improvement agreement in 2010 for the Tesori subdivision with Del Lago Place, LLC (Developer). The Developers were required by the agreements to complete all necessary subdivision improvements which were secured by performance bonds through the International Fidelity Insurance Company (Insurer).

For various reasons, some of the work associated with each subdivision was not completed. The Del Lago Place, LLC agreement was amended and extended several times over the years. In 2019, the City provided the Developer with a list of incomplete items, and in 2020, the City declared the Developer in default and made a claim against the performance bond. Litigation ensued, resulting in court ordered mediation, the outcome of which was a settlement agreement.

Under the settlement agreement, the Developer was to remit payment of $1,300,000 to the City for the incomplete work. In exchange, the City was to assume responsibility for completing the list of incomplete work identified by the City in 2019 associated with the Tesori and Bella Oaks subdivisions.

On July 12, 2022, Council authorized the City Manager to execute the settlement agreement between the City of Tulare, and Del Lago Place, LLC, Great Valley Builders, Inc. Hidden Oak Development Company, Inc., and International Fidelity Insurance Company.

Proposed project EN0101 - “Tesori-Bella Oaks Improvements” would complete the Mooney Boulevard (State Route 63) frontage improvements along the frontages of the Tesori and Bella Oaks subdivisions, including the connection of Bella Oaks Avenue to Mooney Boulevard as required by the subdivisions’ conditions of approval. The improvements will include the relocation and undergrounding of existing overhead utilities, curb and gutter, pave-out, sidewalk, street lighting, landscaping, storm drainage, water, and median island improvements. Anticipated construction costs to complete the project improvements is estimated at approximately $5.6 million.

To complete the aforementioned improvements, updated improvement plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) will need to be prepared. Utility coordination will be required for the relocation and undergrounding of overhead utility lines. Approval and permitting by Caltrans will also be required due to Mooney Boulevard’s designation as State Highway 63.

A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for On-Call Engineering and Land Surveying Consultants was issued on October 20, 2020. Ten (10) firms submitted all the necessary information to be considered for inclusion in a list of pre-approved consultants to provide these services. The proposals were reviewed and rated in accordance with the consultant selection procedures identified in the RFQ, and the top six (6) firms were recommended for inclusion on the list of prequalified general engineering and land surveying consultants. On December 15, 2020, the City Council approved this list of (6) consultants. 4 Creeks of Visalia, CA is included on the list of pre-qualified on-call Engineering consultants and demonstrated in their proposal that they have the skills, expertise and resources available to meet the City’s needs and timeframe to complete the PS&E phase of this project. 4Creeks has proposed to perform the necessary work for $163,900. The proposed cost is in line with industry standards and has been included in the proposed project scope and budget.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCE(S)
The source of funds for the proposed contract with 4Creeks will be the balance of funds received by the City as a result of the settlement agreement with the Developers of the Tesori and Bella Oaks subdivisions.

LEGAL REVIEW
The proposed professional services contract between the City and 4Creeks will be reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Approve with changes – Proposed changes to the scope of work, conditions impacting the consultant’s proposal, or changes to the proposed contract would require staff to negotiate with the consultant.

2. Deny – Not approving the contract or project scope and budget would halt progress towards the construction of uncompleted improvements assumed by the City through the settlement agreement with the Developers of the Tesori and Bella Oaks subdivisions.

3. Table – A delay in the City approving the proposed contract or project scope and budget could result in the need to re-negotiate the proposal submitted by the consultant, which could result in an increase to their proposed fees.

Agenda Title: Easement to SCE for Utilities Associated with Project FM0046

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a Grant of Easement and Certificate of Conveyance to Southern California Edison Company (SCE) for installation and maintenance of SCE utilities associated with City Project FM0046 – Court House Renovation and Parking Lot, subject only to minor conforming and clarifying changes acceptable to the City Attorney and City Manager.

SUMMARY
As part of the improvements being made by CIP Project FM0046 - Courthouse Renovation and Parking Lot Rehabilitation (a.k.a., Tulare Business Incubator), the City was required to upgrade the existing SCE electrical service located in the alley between “M” and “N” Streets. SCE is requiring that the City grant them the subject easement for underground electrical supply systems and communication systems. This will allow for to construct, use, maintain, operate, alter, add to, repair, replace, reconstruct, inspect and remove said improvements at any time as needed. The conveyance of such easements to SCE is normal practice when development is required to underground existing SCE infrastructure.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

LEGAL REVIEW
The submittal from SCE follows their standard format and has been accepted in prior SCE easement dedication requests made to the City.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Approve with changes - Changes made to the easement would require a new submittal from the applicant and review by staff. Changes would be brought to a later Council meeting for acceptance of Grant of Easement and Certificate of Conveyance.

2. Deny - Denial of the easement request would not allow SCE to construct, maintain and repair utilities located along the City Hall alleyway.

3. Table - Tabling the SCE easement request would delay SCE’s ability to proceed with the relocation and undergrounding of their utilities.

Agenda Title: Grant Deed in Fee Title for Lot R of the Wild Oak Subdivision

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Accept in fee title the Grant Deed for Lot R of the Wild Oak subdivision.

SUMMARY
As part of the Wild Oak subdivision, a Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) was established to maintain common area landscaping and a neighborhood park. For the landscape lots to be maintained by the LMD, they must be deeded to the City. The recorded final subdivision map for Wild Oak identified Landscape Lots A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, and R as being offered to the City “for landscaping, public sidewalk, and block wall purposes, and for the maintenance thereof”. However, Lot R was not listed in the City Clerk’s Statement as being accepted by the City. It is now necessary to accept Lot R through a separate Grant Deed and Certificate of Acceptance to rectify this error. Copies of the proposed Grant Deed from D.R. Horton CA3, Inc. and a Certificate of Acceptance are attached for reference.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCE(S)
There is no fiscal impact associate with this action.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved to form the Engineering Department’s standard deed acceptance template.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Approve with changes – Staff would incorporate changes directed by Council. Minor changes would likely result in no impact.

2. Deny – Denial of the subject grant deed would prevent Lot R from being maintained by the Wild Oak LMD and would ultimately lead to ambiguity in who is responsible for the maintenance of Lot R.

3. Table – Tabling the item would postpone incorporation of Lot R into the Landscape and Maintenance district and could affect its maintenance.

Agenda Title: Oversized Construction Reimbursement Agreement for the Little Caesars Commercial Development

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an oversized construction reimbursement agreement with Gussan Shedid for construction costs associated with the Little Caesars commercial development that are eligible for reimbursement in accordance with Chapter 8.64 of the Municipal Code, subject only to minor conforming and clarifying changes acceptable to the City Attorney and City Manager; authorize a transfer from the Streets & Traffic Signals Development Impact Fee Fund (Fund 230) to the General Fund (Fund 001) of $210,823.16; authorize the establishment of $260,919.75 appropriation in the General Fund Oversize Liability – Principal (001-4320-8206) account for the payment of the reimbursement attributable to new growth; and authorize the use of $50,096.59 of General Fund fund balance for payment of the remainder of the reimbursement.

SUMMARY
Through the conditions of approval for the Little Caesars commercial development located along the east side of Mooney Boulevard north of Bardsley Avenue (920 S. Mooney Boulevard), the Developer, Gussan Shedid, was required to install oversized street improvements. These included, but were not limited to, the following:
• Construction of median improvements in Mooney Boulevard across the project’s frontage. • Oversize paving associated with Mooney Boulevard street improvements.

Costs associated with supplemental size and capacity are eligible for oversized construction reimbursement in accordance with Chapter 8.64 of the Municipal Code. The attached oversized construction reimbursement agreement identifies the work completed by the Developer that is reimbursable under the City’s oversize reimbursement procedures and specifies that the City will reimburse the developer for their expenditures plus accrued interest as funding becomes available through the City’s development impact fee program. Since a portion of the need for the improvements was attributable to existing development, a proportional share in the amount of 19.2% of the reimbursement costs will come from the General Fund.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCE(S)
Sufficient fund balance exists in the Streets & Traffic Signals Development Impact Fee Fund to accommodate the transfer of $210,823.16 to the General Fund to cover new development’s share of the cost of oversize reimbursement. And sufficient fund balance exists in General Fund to appropriate $50,096.59 to cover the remainder of the reimbursement attributable to existing development.

Fund 230 (DIF - Local Street & Traffic Signals) $210,823.16 Fund 001 (General Fund – Fund Balance) $50,096.59

LEGAL REVIEW
The oversized construction reimbursement agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Approve with changes – Minor changes would likely result in no impact.

2. Deny – The City entered into a preliminary oversized construction reimbursement agreement with the developer prior to start of construction for the work described. Per the provisions of the fee mitigation act, failing to reimburse the Developer for improvements required by the City to address impacts above and beyond those directly attributable to the development could result in litigation. Additionally, the developer may avoid undertaking future projects within the City limits.

3. Table – A delay in the City’s approval of the oversized construction reimbursement agreement could delay oversize reimbursement payments to the Developer and incur additional interest charges to the City.

Agenda Title: Dispatch Services with Tulare County Consolidated Ambulance Dispatch, Inc.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to approve and execute the fire and emergency services dispatch agreement between the City of Tulare and Tulare County Consolidated Ambulance Dispatch, Inc (TCCAD).

SUMMARY
The City of Tulare is seeking approval to enter into a new agreement with TCCAD for the continuation of fire and emergency services dispatch. TCCAD has provided fire and emergency services dispatch to the City of Tulare under the previous contract at $25.00 per call dated September 1, 2019. The new agreement has a price per call increase to $34.00 in the first year of the contract, $35.36 for the second year, $36.42 for the third year. Yearly costs are aligned with City of Tulare fiscal year calendar, except for this first year, which will start on and backdate to September 1, 2024.

These critical dispatch services are how the citizens and visitors of our city gain access to emergency lifesaving medical intervention and other fire and emergency services responses. The City of Tulare Fire Department averages approximately 600 calls for service each month which equates to about $15,000.00 a month for dispatch services under the previous contract. The increased cost per call will bring it to approximately $20,400.00 a month for dispatch services, however costs will fluctuate due to call volume.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
Funds are appropriated and available in 001-4230-2015 Communication for this agreement.

Agenda Title: Subscribe to Amazon Services, LLC and Join OMNIA Partners, Inc. for Purchases

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents to purchase an Amazon Services, LLC (“Amazon Business”) subscription and join OMNIA Partners, Inc. (“OMNIA”) for purchases of various materials and supplies.

SUMMARY
Currently, the City purchases materials, supplies, and equipment through various retailers. The items purchased vary by department and, in many cases, retailers are not providing special governmental pricing, quantity discounts or favorable terms. Amazon Business, through its partnership with OMNIA, a prominent national cooperative purchasing program, provides a unique government account which streamlines purchasing for governmental entities. Benefits of this arrangement include application of government tax exemption, monitored compliance, pricing discounts, strategic sourcing initiatives, and free shipping.

Subscribing to Amazon Business would provide City staff access to a wide, yet organized, selection of items which can be purchased to meet the day-to-day needs of the City. It would also allow the City to consolidate individual accounts into one City-wide managed account, which would help streamline and otherwise improve the City’s procurement process. Amazon Business offers a multi-level approval system that serves as a compliance mechanism by ensuring staff adhere to procurement policies, including preventing unauthorized expenditures from exceeding established limits, and improves efficiency, thus saving time. Additionally, Amazon Business offers integration capabilities with purchasing platforms such as Tyler Technologies’ Enterprise system, implemented of which is underway with the City with a projected “go-live” date of July 1, 2025.

Using Amazon Business, quantity discounts may be leveraged for purchases greater than $7,500 or 999 units, a benefit not provided with the consumer-focused Amazon Prime account. A 1% rebate is also offered on purchases up to an annual cumulative amount equal to the Amazon Business subscription cost.

Through OMNIA, Amazon Business has been awarded two multi-year, competitively solicited contracts which offer public sector organizations state- and agency-level bid contracts. These cooperative contract purchasing opportunities and solutions allow OMNIA’s members to make purchases using the Amazon Business platform for multiple competitively awarded categories, reducing the need for multiple quotes, and in some cases, eliminating a lengthy formal procurement process. The purchasing opportunities available through OMNIA’s cooperative bids provide its members both time and cost savings because they leverage needs of a consolidated group under competitively sourced agreements entered into for the express purposes of providing greater cost savings and reduced time to obtain various goods and services.

In addition to the benefits described above, the ability to view pricing and availability of products across various suppliers on one curated site would enhance staff’s ability to weigh timeliness of delivery versus cost when making purchase decisions. And subscribing to one City-wide account would eliminate the need for multiple individual Amazon.com accounts for which the current cost is $139 per year. This would Item #: 13.10
Consent

13.10 Consent Page 1
generate savings for the first year of the Amazon Business subscription, for which the cost would be waived, and would partially offset the subscription cost for future years.

To improve the procurement process and reduce the costs for various materials, supplies, and equipment, staff is requesting approval to purchase an Amazon Business subscription for $1,299 annually with the first year’s cost waived and to join OMNIA partners. As is current practice, the departments will continue using their operating budgets and project funding to purchase various goods from Amazon Business.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
Other than the annual Amazon Business subscription cost of $1,299, the first year of which would be waived, the fiscal impact of transitioning to Amazon Business is unknown. However, based on the City’s current practice of purchasing from various retailers, many of which do not provide government discounts or benefits, adopting this procurement method is expected to yield significant savings for the City over time.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney’s review of the Amazon Business subscription and OMNIA registration documents will be requested as needed prior to execution by the City Manager.

Submitted by: Fred Ynclan, Police Chief
Agenda Title: Citizens Option for Public Safety 2024/2025 Program Funds

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving the acceptance and appropriation of Citizens Option for Public Safety (COPS) 2024/2025 Program funds from the State of California in the amount of $109,333 to be used to fund one police officer position.

SUMMARY
Since 1997, the California State Budget Act has included allocations to counties and cities for the COPS program. This funding is intended to fill the need for additional resources at the local level to ensure public safety. Funds must supplement existing services and cannot be used to supplant any existing funds. The funds cannot be used for administrative overhead costs in excess of ½ percent of the total allocation.

The allocation may not be used to fund the costs of any capital project or construction project that does not directly support frontline law enforcement. Each city is required to deposit the funds into a separate Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund so that these funds are not intermingled with General Fund dollars.

The 2023/2024 COPS award for Tulare is in the amount of $109,333. Staff proposes to use the COPS funds to supplement one police officer position.

Attention: Evelyn Calderon-Yee, Chief
Bureau of Payments, Local Government Programs and Services Division, State Controller’s Office
Dear Controller Cohen:

Pursuant to Government Code section 30029.05, subdivision (e), paragraph (2), the Department of Finance respectfully submits the attached (Attachments I and II) percentages for the 2024-25 allocation of $214,200,000 in Citizens’ Option for Public Safety (COPS) and Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) funds deposited in the Enhancing Law Enforcement Activities Subaccount (ELEAS) in the Law Enforcement Services Account within the Local Revenue Fund 2011.

Pursuant to Government Code section 30061, subdivisions (b) and (g), subsequent to the allocation described in Section 29552, subdivision (d), 47.08727192 percent of the remaining funds deposited in the ELEAS for the COPS (23.54363596 percent) and JJCPA (23.54363596 percent) programs are to be allocated, according to the relative population for each county and city, as follows:
(1) 5.15 percent to county sheriffs for county jail construction and operation ($11,031,300).
(2) 5.15 percent to district attorneys for criminal prosecution ($11,031,300). (3) 50 percent to counties to implement a comprehensive multi-agency juvenile justice plan ($107,100,000).
(4) 39.7 percent to counties and cities for front-line law enforcement ($85,037,400).

Please note that the by-county percentages for the first three allocations above: (1) county jail construction and operation, (2) district attorney criminal prosecution, and (3) multi-agency juvenile justice plans, are specified on Attachment I and the bycounty/city percentages for the fourth allocation, front-line law enforcement, are identified on Attachment II.

Pursuant to Government Code section 30061, subdivision (b), paragraph (3), each law enforcement jurisdiction receiving front-line law enforcement funding is to receive a

14.1 General Business Page 2
2 minimum grant of $100,000. The percentages included in Attachment II are calculated in a manner that provides for a minimum grant allocation of $100,000 to each law enforcement jurisdiction listed in Attachment II.

Also note that the allocations shown on Attachments I and II may be slightly different from the final allocations made by the State Controller’s Office due to rounding.

If you have any questions, or need additional information, please call Patrick Plant, Staff Finance Budget Analyst, at (916) 445-8913.

Sincerely,

AMY JARVIS

Staff Report
Meeting: City Council
Date: November 19, 2024
Department: City Manager
Submitted by: Marc Mondell, City Manager
Agenda Title: Emergency Homeless Shelter Operations Scoping Exercise

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive a report regarding the emergency homeless shelter operations scoping exercise and provide direction thereto.

SUMMARY
On September 17, 2024, City Council awarded a contract to construct the emergency homeless shelter (shelter) which is anticipated to be completed within 12 months.

Staff is in the process of negotiating an operator term sheet and is seeking Council’s confirmation or correction in terms of staff’s understanding of the mission, goals, objectives, and outcomes of how the shelter should be operated.

It is and has been staff’s understanding that the City has designed, is now constructing, and will operate (with the assistance of a third-party not-for-profit operator) a shelter and not a navigation center. The shelter, like a navigation center, will allow Tulare based homeless individuals to bring their personal belongings and a dog with them into the facility. However, the shelter is intended to only provide for basic needs and services with the goal of assisting individuals to achieve permanent non-supportive and supportive housing (as applicable). The shelter and its programs will incorporate a navigation component into its operations for those that are voluntarily needing additional supportive services.

In other words, the shelter does not provide permanent supportive housing, it serves as a gateway into the continuum of care for unhoused individuals.

The overarching philosophy or belief behind this approach includes the following:
• The City believes, to the extent possible, that it is incumbent upon individuals to become financially independent, and
• Employment can provide individuals with purpose and a source of income to become financially independent, and
• It is not the responsibility nor obligation of the taxpayers to financially support unhoused individuals within the shelter on a permanent basis, however, • Some individuals may from time to time find themselves in situations where they are temporarily unable to fully care for themselves due to trauma, violence, mental or emotional health decline, addictions, or their own poor decisions, or choices, and • In those instances, those individuals and others who are less fortunate may find themselves in a position of being unhoused either temporarily or permanently depending upon their specific circumstances, and
Item #: 14.3
General Business

14.3 General Business Page 1
• In those instances, the City and the taxpayers have a responsibility and a desire to remove the blight that is caused by homelessness and to do so in a manner that is humane, fiscally prudent, and legally compliant, and
• The provision of a shelter is an appropriate and effective vehicle through which unhoused individuals may seek temporary housing and assistance ideally leading to employment and financial independence, and
• A shelter is also an appropriate and effective vehicle through which individuals with a disability may receive respite care and other basic assistance while implementing a plan to secure other interim and permanent housing, and
• The City has and will continue to mitigate adverse effects associated with homelessness and contends that a shelter is a necessary tool to help lessen the impacts of the phenomena on unhoused individuals and the larger community.

Therefore, staff has outlined the anticipated mission, goals, objectives, and outcomes associated with shelter operations for Council consideration, confirmation or correction as follows and subject to change:

Proposed Mission Statement:

The shelter will function to provide a humane, safe, and clean public facility for Tulare based individuals experiencing homelessness to reside, address basic needs, and use services intended to address their physical health, behavioral health, employment, social welfare, and/or housing outcomes.

The facility will operate as an emergency shelter principally, which may involve short or long-term periods of participation (i.e. eligible homeless individuals may reside at the facility for any length of time).

Homeless individuals may register at the shelter by way of walk-in or referral, with a primary nonprofit organization responsible for intake and managing occupancy of non-congregate and congregate bed spaces.

The facility will provide for the basic needs of individuals and is not intended to provide a high degree of comfort or convenience. This approach is meant to encourage individuals to desire and strive for better living conditions and therefore work with the operator to achieve such an outcome.

The facility will include three levels of residency including an entry level, participation level, and recovery level. Each level will be offered on a voluntary basis and include increasing levels of benefits and responsibility. Individuals that are participating in the recovery level will be given the opportunity for gainful part-time employment with the City or one of it’s participating partner organizations as a means to build a work history for potential future employment.

Goals and Objectives:

To implement the City’s mission statement for the shelter, a series of measurable goals and objectives should be established as follows.

1. Reduce the number of homeless individuals living unsheltered and encamping on public and private property throughout the City.

2. Provide eligible guests with adequate sustenance, sleeping, communal, storage spaces, and hygiene facilities.

3. Provide staff training and appropriate on-site personnel to identify, mitigate, and prevent acts of theft, vandalism, verbal and physical harassment, alcohol use, drug use, and violence.

4. Conduct regular inspection, janitorial, and maintenance services on all shelter areas, buildings, and equipment.

14.3 General Business Page 2

5. Provide eligible guests with on-site services including, but not limited to, enrollment into the Coordinated Entry System, awareness of Continuum of Care organizations and their resources, case management, and housing navigation.

6. Provide eligible guests with coordination and connection to on- or off-site services including, but not limited to, social welfare programs, job-training and employment placement, physical healthcare, and behavioral healthcare.

7. Facilitate sustainable exits to interim and/or permanent housing for guests.

8. Identify and mitigate factors that cause guests to exit the facility and return to an unsheltered living situation.

9. Develop and maintain an effective and efficient operating budget; and,

10. Develop and implement an effective policies and procedures for operations.

Outcomes:

To achieve the goals and objectives outcome targets have been identified as follows:

1. A year-to-year reduction in the number of homeless / unsheltered individuals living in the City of Tulare by way of Point-In-Time Count results.

2. Track and observe a reduction in the number of calls for service, cleanups, and code enforcement actions related to homeless individuals.

3. Daily access to two (2) nutritional meals, an assortment of snacks, and drinks for all guests (2,400 calories per day).

4. Biannual staff training in de-escalation, motivational interviewing, trauma informed care, and other competencies.

5. Number of Involuntary exits related to a violation of rule(s) equals less than 20 percent of the total number of guests annually.

6. Operable and sanitary bed, hygiene, office, and communal facilities.

7. 60 percent or more of all guests each year achieve enrollment in the Coordinated Entry System and participate in case management and housing navigation service.

8. 30 percent or more of all guests each year utilize one or more of the advertised and available social, physical healthcare, or behavioral healthcare services.

9. 25 percent or more of all guests each year will exit to interim or permanent housing.

10. 25 percent or less of all the exits of guests in given year will involve a return to an unsheltered living situation.

11. Total expenditures each year will remain within 75 percent of the annual operating budget plan; and,

12. Surveys of community stakeholders and guests will indicate an approval rating of over 50% of all respondents.

14.3 General Business Page 3

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
The City is in the process of constructing a shelter and is negotiating the terms of an operator agreement.

Staff currently anticipates the annual shelter operating cost to be approximately $2,000,000 which may decrease or increase depending upon Council direction hereto.

LEGAL REVIEW
This item does not require legal review.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Approve with changes

2. Deny

3. Table
If Council delays in providing direction, then there may be a delay in negating the term sheet and eventual operating agreement.

Agenda Title: Final American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Allocations

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive a presentation on the status of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) fund expenditures and adopt a resolution allocating ARPA funds and directing staff to re-allocate all funds available after the completion of projects toward the construction of the Emergency Shelter.

SUMMARY
On August 20, 2024, Council received a staff report and presentation regarding final dispersal of remaining American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds and directed staff to gather additional information and report back to Council.

All ARPA funds must be under contract by December 31, 2024, or the City will forfeit them back to the federal government. To date, the majority of available ARPA funds have been appropriated by Council and are now under contract. However, several projects have either not come to fruition or not spent the entirety of their original ARPA allocation, which necessitates the re-appropriation of some remaining ARPA dollars. The City of Tulare received $18,024,068 in ARPA funds from the federal government.

Over the past several years, the City Council has appropriated these funds to a variety of projects as follows:

Project/Program Amount
ARPA Consultant $75,000
Marketing and Social Media $75,000
Set aside for ongoing Pandemic Response $50,000
Courthouse Remodel $1,300,000
Downtown Façade/Rehabilitation Grant $1,000,000
Downtown Master Plan Update $100,000
Homeless Shelter $2,000,000
Zumwalt Park Refurbishment $5,000,000
Vaccination Incentive $220,000
City Employee One-Time Bonus $681,800
Fire Department Ladder Truck $1,500,000
Dispatch Radio Replacement $350,000
Police and Fire CAD/RMS Replacement $1,180,000
HWY 99 Water Crossing (International Agri-Center
Way)
$1,200,000
Financial System Replacement $1,650,000
Live/Recorded/Remote Council Chambers Upgrade $200,000
Tulare Joint Union High School – 50M Pool $500,000
City Council Service Projects $942,268
Total Allocation $18,024,068
As Council is aware, all of the amounts identified above must be under contract by December 31, 2024.

The majority of these monies are already under contract or will soon be. Additionally, several of the ARPA-funded projects are now complete, but not all of the originally appropriated funds were expended.

Item #: 14.4
General Business

14.4 General Business Page 1
Thus, a re-allocation of these monies is necessary to ensure that all ARPA funds have been appropriated and are under contract by December 31, 2024, as required by Federal law.

The table of projects has been expanded below to provide Council with a “snapshot” of amounts that have been expended to-date by project, whether projects are complete or not, remaining balances, and identified amounts that are now available for re-allocation to alternative items. Please note that due to rounding, ongoing balance changes, and projected additional needs to close some items out, each row of numbers may not precisely add up – and won’t do so until all projects are closed out.

It has been confirmed that the South Highway 99 undercrossing will utilize a separate funding stream, which makes $1,200,000 available. In addition, the Financial System Replacement project is no longer projected to require the full $1,650,000 that was originally allocated. Finally, savings from other projects account for an additional $300,000+ in funding availability. In total, almost $1.9 million is available for reappropriation.

At the August 20 meeting, staff requested that Council direct all existing and future ARPA monies that become available for re-allocation be appropriated to the Homeless Shelter project, to continue to offset that project’s General Fund Reserve cost to the City.

Council continued the ARPA agenda item to provide additional time to potentially identify additional or alternative projects or programs for Council consideration. As a result, staff and three councilmembers identified two items for additional funding consideration. The items are as follows:

Staff-Identified items:
• Downtown Infrastructure Study - $90,000
• Motorola radio replacements for Police Department - $40,000 • Additional Chamber of Commerce Appropriation for TBIZ - $25,000 • ARPA Consultant - $50,000

Agenda Title: Artificial Intelligence Guiding Document

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive a guiding document outlining the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by local governments.

SUMMARY
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already revolutionized the business world and is fundamentally changing the way businesses meet their mission. Governments must embrace these opportunities head-on to stay current, remain competitive, be good stewards of public trust and protect against misuse. Many commercially available software packages are starting to incorporate AI technologies into their product offerings. As the City of Tulare continues to grow and change it is important that there is discussion around the use of Artificial Intelligence.

There are multiple governmental coalitions and educational institutions that offer guidance to local governments to help to establish safeguards for the use of AI. Information Technology staff at the City of Tulare have reviewed information from many of these entities and has created a “guiding document” to help with the discussion surrounding the use of AI for City of Tulare. This short 8-page document offers a high-level overview of the key points related to the use of AI in local government. Included in the document are identified resources that provide attritional information.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Guiding Document
This AI Guiding Document is intended to help City of Tulare decision makers clearly see what AI means for their agencies and how to invest and build AI capabilities.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the computational techniques that simulate human cognitive capabilities. AI will transform most, if not every aspect of humanity, which presents a range of challenges and opportunities.

AI has already revolutionized the business world and is fundamentally changing the way businesses meet their mission. Governments must embrace these opportunities head-on to stay current, remain competitive, be good stewards of public trust and protect against misuse.

1. What are You Using Generative AI for?
- Use Cases and Challenge statements
When talking about use cases of AI, or any technology, it is important to structure the conversation around “challenge statements”. Challenge statements are statements that define the problem that is to be solved. AI might be the best solution, or there might be other existing technologies that might be able to be used in conjunction with or in place of AI. AI will not be the best fit to solve every problem. But, AI is fundamentally changing the way business is conducted, so all problems should be reviewed with the potential of AI being able to help, especially as a means to increase efficiency and reduce cost.

Every local government has specific objectives, needs and priorities. Initiating discussions with internal stakeholders, including employees and managers, helps identify where generative AI technologies can enhance operational efficiency and enhance problem solving. Whether optimizing individual productivity, streamlining organizational processes or facilitating comprehensive problem-solving, integrating generative AI into workflows offers substantial potential for improving overall governmental effectiveness.

By leveraging generative AI technology to benefit an organization’s operations, AI can improve service delivery and assist in decision making processes.

Below are a few popular use cases of generative AI generated along with the associated challenge statements:
• Writing Job Descriptions – We need accurate and complete job descriptions that are consistent with the industry.
• Drafting Emails, news announcements, persuasive arguments - We would like to save time creating effective communications.

14.5 General Business Page 2
• Generating Meeting Notes – We need a way to quickly find what occurred in a meeting. • Developing Images or videos (Not recommended, as still shaky legal ground if AI was trained with copyrighted images and videos) – We need a way to efficiently have graphics that are tailored to our specific use cases.
• Analyzing Data – We would like to be able to efficiently understand relationships in data. • Explaining Complex Topics in plain English (Summarizing Documents) – We need ways to clearly communicate complexity with the public
• AI Chatbots - We need a different way to communicate with the public at scale that is more efficient than one-on-one phone calls.
• Writing Code - We need to write computer code quickly to solve business use cases. • Translating Documents - We need to quickly and cost efficiently translate documents. • Managing Public records – We need ways to accurately and efficiently provide responses public records requests.

Understanding the purpose and need of generative AI is a key step in preparing to develop a policy. The use cases of generative AI will shape how the organization acquires and manages tools for the workforce.

2. Guiding Principals
These principles describe values with regards to how AI systems are purchased, configured, developed, operated, or maintained.
a. Human-Centered Design: AI systems are developed and deployed with a humancentered approach that evaluates AI powered services for their impact on the public. b. Security & Safety: AI systems maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability through safeguards that prevent unauthorized access and use. The implementation of AI systems is reliable and safe, and minimizes risks to individuals, society, and the environment.
c. Privacy: Privacy is preserved in all AI systems by safeguarding personally identifiable information (PII) and sensitive data from unauthorized access, disclosure, and manipulation.
d. Transparency: The purpose and use of AI systems is proactively communicated and disclosed to the public. An AI system, its data sources, operational models, and policies that govern its use are understandable and documented.
e. Equity: AI systems support equitable outcomes for everyone. Bias in AI systems is effectively managed with the intention of reducing harm for anyone impacted by its use. f. Accountability: Roles and responsibilities govern the deployment and maintenance of AI systems, and human oversight ensures adherence to relevant laws and regulations. g. Effectiveness: AI systems are reliable, meet their objectives, and deliver precise and dependable outcomes for the utility and contexts in which they are deployed. h. Workforce Empowerment: Staff are empowered to use AI in their roles through education, training, and collaborations that promote participation and opportunity.

14.5 General Business Page 3

3. Policies & Procedures
Policies and procedures can address key issues and risk areas such as: data privacy, transparency, bias mitigation, accountability, security measures, regulatory compliance, ethical considerations and incident response. Policies and related procedures can align the organization’s operational norms while supporting the organization’s generative AI usage goals. It is important to balance control with creativity to maximize the productive use of AI tools.

Here are a few good practices:
• Require "human-in-the-loop" (HITL) review of all generative AI outputs – this simply means that an individual must review any product produced by AI for alignment to policy goals and organizational values.
• Prohibit use of personal identifying information (PII) in any generative AI prompt – this is essential to protecting privacy and managing risk.
• Require citations – provide procedures on how and when to cite work created through or using material from generative AI. This includes embedding citations directly into generated videos or images and citing written work when substantial portions of language come from an AI text generator. Consider how AI-generated work is used by paid consultants and if there is specific contract language that should be included. • Clarify records management – provide policy and procedure language to address content or information created by generative AI technology that may be subject to the Public Records Act. For example, a procedure that requires each employee to document the platform, prompt and product from AI generators each time the technology is used.

Another area that should be reviewed closely is the use of AI Meeting Assistants. AI Meetings assistants generate texts of what occurred in virtual meetings and are generally considered public record.
• Educate employees - In addition to the generative AI usage policy, additional steps must be implemented to ensure all employees understand the purpose, benefits and inherent risks of generative AI technology. Continuous education and training can assist organizations in staying current with the quickly evolving technology. Training topics may include data security, public records, citations and how to maximize utilization and effectiveness.

4. Vendors
There is a complex, quickly evolving landscape of AI vendors. It is important to have a basic understanding of an AI vendor prior to using an AI vendors solution. https://www.rapidops.com/blog/generative-ai-tools/
Fact Sheets for Artificial Intelligence Vendors.

When you go to a supermarket, not all of the food at the supermarket is healthy. Standardized labelling is now required to be added on processed foods to ensure consumers know the nutritional value of the food. A similar approach is being used for AI.

There is a growing call for all AI to be “labeled” with “nutrition facts”, essentially coming up with a standardized way to communicate what is “in” a specific AI solution that you are thinking about using, very similar to what the food industry uses. There are multiple organizations that are starting to form a registry of AI solutions to create transparency for government customers.

A Sample Fact Sheet can be found HERE.

5. Governance
Below is an outline of the overview of the important pieces of AI governance. Each piece of governance is associated with the question that is intended to be answered as well as the governance deliverable that will address the question.

14.5 General Business Page 6

6. Risk-based Framework
New global regulations, such as the EU AI Act and U.S. Executive Order on Safe and Effective AI, are starting to develop a risk-based framework. This means classifying a potential AI application as low risk, medium risk, high risk, or unacceptable risk. Below is a basic representation of existing use cases of AI and their corresponding risk Tiers. This will continue to change and evolve over time.
