safe and quiet space.

Tell the dispatcher:
“My name is ____”
“I am calling about a mental health
emergency”.
“I am calling from” [current location].
“I am calling because my family
member/friend/a person is____”
Explain what is currently happening.

Remember, stick to the facts.

Ask for a Crisis Intervention
Trained Officer (“CIT Officer”)
These officers are trained to respond to mental
health emergencies. Ask to have a CIT Officer
dispatched and request a mental health unit, if
available.

Listen carefully to dispatcher’s
questions.

If appropriate, request that officers and or
ambulance arrive without lights or sirens.

Stop and Consider Before Acting:
• Are you discriminating against this person because
they are unhoused?
• Are they negatively impacting your business
because they are there? Are they doing something
that customers visiting the business are allowed to
do?
• Can you articulate the negative impacts this person
is having on your business?
• Remember, your response to these questions could
possibly be challenged in court and property
owners’ responsibility for any actions related to
arrest for trespassing on private property
Business
• Ask the individual(s) to leave the premise, note why
they trespass and what they are doing is impacting
the business in a negative way
• If the individual(s) do not leave the premise, inform they if safe to do so, that they could be arrested for
trespassing
• If the individuals do not leave, contact the Union City Police Department to request assistance in making a
“citizens’ arrest”. For more information on Citizen

Arrest see link to Alameda County’s District Attorney’s Office

Officer to be present and make the arrest. Note, a
person authorized by the business/property owner
must be present when the arrest is made.

Property Managers/Owners – Proactive Measures
• Provide security alarm business with a contact for
an after-hours agent representing the owners—
who has the authority to sign a citizen’s arrest of
behalf of the property owner
• Request that roaming security or designated
representative remain on the scene when they
call about a trespasser. Police cannot arrest
without them present, and they need to sign a
citizen arrest.
• Provide security alarm business with a direct line
for after-hours management – one number would
be the best
• File a restraining order against chronic
trespasser(s) will allow police to arrest for a
violation of a court order and will not require an
agent of the property to sign a citizen’s arrest.

Police can arrest them on site if the restraining
order is in effect.

Shopping Center Strategies
• Implement maintenance strategies that that
discourages homeless encampment and
loitering.
• Removing and maintaining landscaped areas that
offer shelter or service, such as removing
fountains and overgrown landscaping.
• Minimizing seating areas to discourage long-term
use, such as constructing raised planter borders
that have a nominal slope of the top surface or
are too narrow and too short to lie upon.
• Removing or locking off outside areas of the
shopping center that may be used for personal
hygiene or sleeping. Removing or locking off all
electrical outlets that can be used by anyone.

Clean Strategies
Maintenance standards are commonly dictated as terms in lease agreement between property owners and tenants, since there are sixteen owners at Union Landing, standards may vary.

These standards do not intend to replace owner/tenants’ maintenance terms or are they all inclusive, but to do create maintenance standard benchmarks for the common areas. The Union Landing Property Owners Association identify the standards to ensure that all owners strive to achieve consistent and uniform levels of property maintenance.

Enforcement of Property Maintenance Standards
Owners are responsible for the maintenance of their property and enforcement of maintenance and property conditions for which tenant are responsible. If tenants are not in compliance with the terms of their lease agreements, it is the owner’s responsibility to address those issues. Union City will issue code enforcement citations in situations where egregious property conditions threaten the overall health of the center. In those situations, the code violation is issued to the property owner not the tenant. The code violation process is a legal process, which could result in legal fees and court action. As a result, code enforcement action should be seem as a “last-step” action and not used to replace the role of property management and enforcement of lease agreement terms.

In addition, property owners as a “Condition of Approval” are required to meet property maintenance standards, which are not excluded from compliance based on the “standards” defined by this document. The Association, however, has defined these standards as a platform to ensure that all owners strive to achieve consistent and uniform levels of property maintenance.

summary

3 Home Together 2026
This Home Together 2026 Community
Plan (the Plan) lays out the goals,
strategies and investments needed to
dramatically reduce homelessness in
Alameda County by 2026 and combat
racial disparities in homelessness
by fully centering equity. The Plan’s
overarching goals and time frame
align with Alameda County’s Vision
2026, which holds as one of its primary
objectives to “ensure the availability of
diverse and affordable housing for all
residents with the goal of eliminating
homelessness in Alameda County.”
Alameda County
Alameda County is home to more than 1.6 million
residents and includes 14 cities and six unincorporated communities. Nonprofit organizations, public entities,
and a range of interested parties, including those with direct experience of homelessness, work together
in a Continuum of Care (the Oakland-BerkeleyAlameda County Continuum of Care, or CoC) to seek new resources and coordinate housing and services
funding for addressing homelessness. The CoC is led
by a representative Leadership Board, supported by a
number of committees and staffed by EveryOne Home.

The County’s Office of Homeless Care and
Coordination (OHCC), formed in early 2020 within
the Health Care Services Agency, participates in
CoC Leadership and coordinates with residents,
providers, other County agencies and local jurisdictions around strategic planning and service delivery.

Cities across Alameda County participate in the CoC
and dedicate local resources to funding, siting and
supporting shelters, housing, and services within their communities. This Plan seeks to serve as a playbook for all of these parties working together, recognizing that each jurisdiction will need to make specific decisions
regarding the resources under their authority. Specific annual action plans are developed for the county and
for cities in conjunction with this framework.

Foundations
for this plan
This Plan builds upon many sources and efforts,
particularly the 2020 Centering Racial Equity in
Homeless System Design report (CRE) prepared by
partners in the Continuum of Care and informed
by a homelessness response system needs analysis
and focus groups with persons of color who have
experienced homelessness. The CRE process modeled
what an optimal system to respond to all homelessness
and reduce racial disparities would look like and what
gaps need to be filled. The Plan is also responsive to
requirements laid out in the California Comeback Plan
to draw down key state housing and health funding.

It is informed by and consistent with other local and
regional efforts, including the All Home Regional
Action Plan, Plan Bay Area 2050 and local city plans
to address homelessness. Companion county and
city-specific plans that align with the Home Together
2026 Community Plan will speak to the specific roles
of local jurisdictions in co-leading efforts to address homelessness, and the key roles of County agencies,
community partners and specific resources.

The community of Alameda County adopts
this plan and vision at a time when the future is
uncertain. New resources received, both onetime and ongoing, provide the groundwork for supporting this plan and its outcomes, but alone
are not enough to realize its vision. The response
to COVID-19 has shown that this community can
pull together and work at speeds we have not seen
before, a strong foundation to build from.

However, we face continuing challenges including
uncertainties from COVID-19, unpredictable
housing markets, future state, federal and local
budgets, and a strained public and non-profit
sector with significant capacity needs. All of these
challenges require continuing the current level of
unprecedented collaboration and coordination,
building on the progress made to unify the
community response and forge an aligned response
system centered in racial equity.

Homelessness in
Alameda County
On any given night over 8,000 people experience
homelessness in Alameda County, a number that
grows to approximately 15,000 people over the course
of a year. More than 90% of homeless households in
Alameda County are adults without minor children.

The homeless population does not reflect the
demographics of the county. Dramatic racial
disparities exist in Alameda County as in the nation,
in which African Americans experience homelessness
at more than four times their representation in the
population (47% vs. 11%). Native Americans, multiracial people and Hawaiian Native/Pacific Islanders are also
vastly overrepresented in homelessness, among those
newly homeless, and in the rates at which they return
to homelessness even after getting housing. These
disparities call out the need to invest, both more and
differently, in creating solutions that meet the needs
of those overrepresented. Special populations such as
transition age youth, veterans, older adults, survivors of intimate partner violence, people with behavioral
health needs and people who have had involvement
with the criminal justice system have additional risks
and vulnerabilities leading to homelessness and
require targeted resources and responses specific to
their needs.

Homelessness response
system needs analysis
A systemwide needs analysis conducted in 2019-20
and updated in 2021 points to significant gaps in the
current homelessness response system in the type
and availability of housing resources to help people
leave homelessness. Today, only an estimated 36% of
those experiencing homelessness can be supported
to end their homelessness with local resources or
are able to find housing on their own. Each year,
thousands of people remain homeless and new people
who become homeless join them. Without significant
effort and investment this trajectory will continue, and homelessness will continue to grow in Alameda County.

Importantly, focus groups with local stakeholders and
people of color who have experienced homelessness
and research on racial equity strategies informed the
needs analysis. This expertise was used to develop the
proposed new program models and pathways out of
homelessness through new investments at every level.

Housing investments needed to address the deep
disparities include:
• Create significant additional affordable housing
dedicated specifically for people experiencing
homelessness
• Develop supportive housing for people who need
increased supports, such as older and frail adults
• Grow the supply of transitional housing for youth
• Fund shallow and flexible rental assistance to fill gaps for people with limited incomes
• Expand current program models such as Rapid
Rehousing and supportive housing1
• Expand targeted behavioral health services
throughout the system
• Improve and expand targeted homelessness
prevention
The 2021 update to the analysis explored different
scenarios related to anticipated new homelessness
and levels of investment to determine what will be
required to fill significant system gaps. The scenario
selected for this Plan seeks to reduce new entries to
homelessness by prevention when possible, and to
create a more robust response system with enough
housing resources at the end of five years to provide
a pathway out of homelessness to every person who
does enter the homelessness response system.
1 This Plan uses the term “supportive housing” to refer to all housing types that include ongoing subsidy and continuously available services, often referred to as “permanent supportive housing” or “PSH” in other contexts.

5 Home Together 2026
Building a system
where people are
rehoused quickly
Overall, increased investment in prevention and the
addition of more than 24,000 housing opportunities
in a variety of program models are needed to reach
a point within five years at which the number of
people who become homeless in a year and the
number who are able to leave homelessness in that
time are in balance. These 24,000+ interventions
include everything from short-term support to
prevent homelessness to ongoing rental subsidies and
supportive housing with services.

In addition to the significant need for housing, because 79% of people experiencing homelessness in Alameda
County are unsheltered, the Home Together 2026
Community Plan proposes a significant increase in
shelter in the first two years, followed by a slow decline in shelter as more housing resources become available
and less shelter is needed. Some added shelter will be
able to be converted to much needed housing in later
years, as has been demonstrated by successful Project
Roomkey to Project Homekey transitions, which have
created new permanent housing by renovating hotels
used as shelters during the COVID-19 pandemic. By Year
5 the amount of shelter needed on an ongoing basis is
expected to be slightly less than what is available today if all housing resources are in place.

The total cost of increasing the shelter and housing
inventory over the coming five years to fully meet the
need would be approximately $2.5 billion. This includes roughly $430 million for additional shelter capacity,
$1.68 billion for permanent housing such as dedicated
affordable housing and supportive housing, and $388
million for prevention, rapid rehousing and shallow
(more limited) subsidies. This does not include the onetime development costs for acquiring or constructing new buildings, but covers operations and services, and
subsidies to help people rent existing housing. The
new investments should be made in alignment with the
household types experiencing homelessness; roughly
10% ($194 million) is needed for expanded inventory
and resources for households with minor children, and
90% ($2.3 billion) for the inventory and resources to
serve adult only households, including transition age
youth (ages 18–24 years). A range of federal, state and locally generated resources are needed to fill the gap.

Without a significant federal investment in targeted
Housing Choice Vouchers or similar rental assistance,
meeting the dedicated affordable housing goal will be
particularly challenging.

Goals and strategies
To reach the expansion goals while decreasing racial
disparities, the Home Together 2026 Community Plan
recommends specific action steps in four categories.

Taken together, the significant increase in investment
and the creation of new program models and pathways
out of homelessness will lead to decreases in new
homelessness, improved racial equity in outcomes,
shorter lengths of time being homeless, and a reduced
rate at which people return to homelessness.

The Home Together 2026 Community Plan adopts
bold, ambitious, and measurable goals for Alameda
County, both for reducing homelessness and for
achieving greater equity. To bring these new programs
and solutions into being will take every partner
committing every available dollar from various sources
in ways that uphold performance and invest in working
and desired models. With these commitments and
agreements for joint accountability we will, by 2026, be home, together.

Agenda Item
DATE: 1/24/2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KRISTOPHER J. KOKOTAYLO, CITYATTORNEY
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION TERMINATING THE LOCAL EMERGENCY DUE TO COVID-19 EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY28, 2023
The City Council declared a local state of emergency as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.

At that time, state and local officials implemented regulations that significantly impacted daily activities and prohibited certain non-essential businesses from operating.

In response, the City Council adopted a temporary eviction moratorium for businesses and residents suffering income loss as a result of COVID-19 and also adopted a temporary urgency ordinance that allows the Zoning Administrator to issue use permits waiving certain provisions of the Union City Municipal Code to facilitate business operations. The City Council also approved actions to protect the City’s workforce by approving certain leaves and other actions to reduce employees’ exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace.

As outlined in this report, circumstances have significantly changed. Prohibitive health officer orders have been lifted and Governor Newsom has indicated that the State will be ending the state of emergency on February 28, 2023. Additionally, businesses and residents have returned to operating as they did prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution terminating the localemergency due to COVID-19, effective February 28, 2023.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This item is related to Strategic Plan Goal C, Strategy 21: Continue providing support to City residents and businesses related to COVID-19 recovery.

BACKGROUND
On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom declared a State of Emergency to make resources available and formalize emergency actions across multiple state agencies and departments to help the State prepare for the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, a number of counties, including Alameda County, declared a local state of City Council/RSA Agenda 233 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
emergency and the Alameda County Health Officer issued a number of health orders that significantly impacted the daily lives of Union City residents.

The City Manager, acting as Director of Emergency Services, proclaimed a local state of emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, pursuant to California Government Code Section 8630 and Union City Municipal Code Chapter 2.28. The City Council subsequently ratified and confirmed the existence of a local emergency.

The circumstances that justify an emergency declaration are outlined in the Union City Municipal Code. Union City Municipal Code Chapter 2.28.020 defines "emergency" as “the actual or threatened existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within this City caused by such conditions as . . . epidemic . . .which conditions are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of this City, requiring the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat.”
This local emergency and the underlying facts supporting the emergency are the basis upon which the City Council adopted the eviction moratorium for residential and commercial properties (“eviction moratorium”) and the ordinance authorizing the Zoning Administrator to waive requirements of the Zoning Code to facilitate business operations impacted by COVID-19 (“COVID-19 use permit ordinance”).

Pursuant to the Government Code, the City Council is required to review the need for continuing the local emergency at least every sixty (60) days. The City Council last reviewed the need for the local emergency on December 13, 2022.

After almost three years, Governor Newsom announced that he will end the COVID-19 State of Emergency on February 28, 2023.

DISCUSSION
Conditions Justifying the End of the Local Emergency
The impacts of COVID-19 have greatly eased in recent months. Vaccinations are now available for all, health experts have a greater understanding of how COVID-19 is spread, healthcare infrastructure that can handle the impacts of COVID-19 and appropriate laws and regulations to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. At this point in time, federal, state, and county governments have eased, or eliminated altogether, regulatory restrictions. This includes the elimination of mask mandates and restrictions to full access to public facilities and events.

Vaccination rates in Alameda County exceed 86% and the vaccination rate in Union City is 84.5%. The conditions justifying the City’s local emergency are abating. While COVID-19 is going to be with us for some time, conditions of disaster or extreme peril no longer appear to be present. There does not appear to be a foreseeable circumstance under which the City would need to issue emergency orders or regulations, or take any other extraordinary actions in response to COVID-19. Additionally, although there was an increase in COVID-19 during this past winter, there was not a significant spike in cases and hospitalizations due to COVID-19. In Alameda County, there has been less than 50% the number of hospitalizations compared to this time of year in 2022 and less than 10% the number of reported cases compared to this time of year in 2022.

The City can now end the local emergency as a result of the full reopening of private and public facilities as wellas the downward trend of pandemic conditions.

City Urgency Ordinances Adopted As a Result of the Local Emergency City Council/RSA Agenda 234 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
The City Counciladopted two urgency ordinances in response to the localemergency: the eviction moratorium and the COVID-19 use permit ordinance.

The eviction moratorium, which provides a forbearance for tenants who aren't able to pay rent due to economic impacts from COVID-19, would end upon the termination of the local emergency or the emergency declared by the state (whichever is later) and provides for repayment of past due rent of 25% after one hundred twenty (120) days and the remaining balance up to 100% after one hundred eighty (180) days.

The COVID-19 use permit ordinance, which allows the Zoning Administrator to issue temporary use permits and waive the requirements of the Zoning Code to facilitate business operations impacted by COVID-19, would expire immediately upon the expiration of the localemergency.

The eviction moratorium and COVID-19 use permit ordinance were intended to be temporary in nature and solely as a response to the conditions created by the COVID-19 pandemic. As the Council is aware, at the beginning of the pandemic, a significant number of residents and businesses suffered lost income as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Certain businesses, such as restaurants, were entirely prohibited from providing indoor in-person service. Other businesses, such as gyms, hair and nail salons, and other hospitality services were completely prohibited from operating. At this point in time, all federal, state and local regulations in this regard have been lifted. Additionally, the unemployment rate in Alameda County reached approximately 13.5% and has since returned to pre-pandemic levels at 3.1%.

Additionally, as noted above, Governor Newsom will be ending the California State of Emergency on February 28, 2023.

Staff believes it would be appropriate to provide ample notice of the consideration of terminating the local emergency and willengage in public outreach to local residents and businesses.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact of adopting this resolution.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed resolution to terminate the local emergency effective 11:59 p.m. on February 28, 2023, consistent with the Governor’s stated intent to terminate the California state of emergency on that date.
