1.4.11 Determination of site or location of facilities
Requirement
Title 49 CFR Section 21.9(b)(3) states, “In determining the site or location of facilities, a recipient or applicant may not make selections with the purpose or effect of excluding persons from, denying them the benefits of, or subjecting them to discrimination under any program to which this regulation applies, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin; or with the purpose or effect of defeating or substantially impairing the accomplishment of the objectives of the Act or this part.” Title 49 CFR part 21, Appendix C, Section (3)(iv) provides, “The location of projects requiring land acquisition and the displacement of persons from their residences and businesses may not be determined on the basis of race, color, or national origin.” For the purposes of this requirement, “facilities” does not include bus shelters, as these are transit amenities and are covered in Chapter IV, nor does it include transit stations, power substations, etc. as those are evaluated during project development and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. Facilities included in this provision include, but are not limited to, storage facilities, maintenance facilities, operations centers, etc.
Response
The City of Union City has not constructed any new facilities, as defined by the requirement, for the reporting period of this Title VI Program.
In the event a new facility, as defined by the requirement, is required, the City of Union City will ensure that both environmental analysis and Title VI environmental justice requirements are incorporated into the scope of work for all facilities projects.
1. City of Union City will complete a Title VI equity analysis during the planning stage with regard to where a project is located or sited to ensure the location is selected without regard to race, color, or national origin. City of Union City will engage in outreach to persons potentially impacted by the siting of facilities. The Title VI equity analysis will compare the equity impacts of various siting alternatives, and the analysis will occur before selection of the preferred site.
2. When evaluating locations of facilities, City of Union City will give attention to other facilities with similar impacts in the area to determine if any cumulative adverse impacts might result. Analysis will be done at the Census tract or block group where appropriate to ensure that proper perspective is given to localized impacts.
3. If City of Union City determines that the location of the project will result in a disparate impact on the basis of race, color, or national origin, City of Union City will only locate the project in that location if there is a substantial legitimate justification for locating the project there, and where there are no alternative locations that would have a less disparate impact on the basis of race color or nation origin. City of Union City will show how both tests are met and will consider and analyze alternatives to determine whether those alternatives would have less of a disparate impact on the basis of race, color, or national origin, and then implement the least discriminatory alternative.

2 LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This Language Assistance Plan (LAP) has been prepared to address the responsibilities of Union City Transit and Paratransit as a recipient of federal financial assistance as they relate to the needs of individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP). The plan has been prepared in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000d, et se, and its implementing regulations, which state that no person shall be subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin.
Executive Order 13166, titled Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency, indicates that differing treatment based upon a person’s inability to speak, read, write or understands English is a type of national origin discrimination. It directs each federal agency to publish guidance for its’ respective recipients clarifying their obligation to ensure that such discrimination does not take place. This order applies to all state and local agencies which receive federal funds, including Union City Transit which receives federal assistance through the U.S.
Department of Transportation (USDOT).
2.2 LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN SUMMARY
Union City Transit and Paratransit has developed an LAP to help identify reasonable steps for providing language assistance to persons with limited English proficiency who wish to access services provided by Union City Transit. As defined in Executive Order 13166, LEP persons are those who do not speak English as their primary language and have limited ability to read, speak, write or understand English.
This plan outlines how to identify a person who may need language assistance, the ways in which assistance may be provided, staff training that may be required, and how to notify LEP persons that assistance is available.
2.3 LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY FOUR FACTOR ANALYSIS
In order to prepare this plan, Union City Transit undertook the USDOT four (4) factor LEP analysis which considers the following factors:
1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely to encounter Union City Transit fixed-route or paratransit service.
2. The frequency with which LEP persons come in contact with Union City Transit fixedroute or paratransit service.
City Council/RSA Agenda 28 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
LAP PROGRAM| MARCH 2023
City of Union City – Union City Transit | 2-2
3. The nature and importance of services provided by Union City Transit to the LEP population.
4. The resources available to Union City Transit and overall cost to provide LEP assistance.
A summary of the results from the four (4) factor analysis are in the following section.
2.3.1 The number or proportion of LEP persons in the
service area who may be served or are likely to encounter Union City Transit services
2.3.1.1 Top Languages Spoken in Union City
Union City has a diverse population that encompasses ethnicities and races from around the globe. As a recipient of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding, Union City Transit and Paratransit must recognize this diversity and ensure that members of the community are not deprived access to public transportation because they cannot understand or speak English “very well”. The American Community Survey (ACS), which provides intercensal population estimates based on surveys that are sent out and received, compiled 2015 to 2021 composite estimates for languages spoken at home amongst inhabitants five (5) years and older (this is the last published year for Table B16001). Thirty-five (35) different language classifications in addition to English only speakers were identified as being spoken in Union City.
The FTA requires that certain languages meet specific thresholds in order to be considered significant. The thresholds are five percent (5%) or 1,000 persons of the total population, whichever is greater, in order for a transit agency to consider needing to examine how to cater to those language speakers. In Union City, there are six (6) unique language groups (†), excluding English and other, with over 1,000 language speakers which comprise forty-seven percent (47%) of the surveyed population; four (4) unique language groups (‡), excluding English and other, with over 1,000 language speakers that speak English less than well comprise just about ten percent (10%) of the surveyed population alone. Each of the languages found in Union City are listed in Figure 2.1.

The California Department of Education provides annual data on student enrollment within the local school district, New Haven Unified. One (1) of the categories includes students learning English. The school district’s English learner data helps corroborate the ACS numbers with respect to the diversity of languages spoken in Union City. Union City’s top six (6) unique language groups (†) identified by the ACS data with over 1,000 language speakers in Figure 2.1, excluding English and other, comprise a little more than seventy-nine percent (79%) of English learners in the school district (Cantonese and Mandarin are identified separately by the school district whereas Figure 2.1 combines them). The four (4) unique language groups (‡), excluding English and other, identified by the ACS data with over 1,000 language speakers that speak English less than well in Figure 2.1 comprise more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the English learners alone.

2.3.1.2 Union City Residents That Speak English “Less Than Very Well” Even though there are six (6) languages that comprise more than forty-seven percent (47%) of the ACS surveyed population, they are not all necessarily significant. What makes the language significant to a transit agency is how well the language speakers understand and speak English. As part of the same survey estimate of languages conducted by the ACS, residents were asked about how well they speak English with only two (2) options: “very well” or “less than very well”. Union City Transit and Paratransit must focus on those surveyed respondents who answered, “less than very well”. Chinese is the only language which exceeded the five percent (5%) of the surveyed population estimate threshold. This language will be pursued to find out how Union City Transit and Paratransit can better accommodate these language speakers and their public transportation needs.

2.3.1.3 Public Transportation Commuters That Speak English “Less Than Very Well”
In addition to identifying what languages Union City Transit and Paratransit needs to involve more, it should be noted what percent of the population rides public transit to work and identifies itself as speaking English “less than very well”. Even though the surveyed population respondents did not identify riding the bus or paratransit as their specific means of commuting, the City of Union City needs to be aware of approximately how many of its daily public transit customers are not proficient in English. Of the 2,126 survey-estimated public transit commuters, 735 speak only English and 1,391 speak another language. Of those that speak another language, only 302 are estimated to speak English “less than very well”.

2.3.1.4 Languages Recognized by Staff Providing Union City Transit Services
As part of a short survey given to fifty-six (56) staff members identified as providing Union City Transit services (both contractor and city employees), the respondents identified the following languages as those that they could recognize being spoken by Union City Transit and Paratransit customers. Some respondents could identify a linguistic origin (Asia or India), but could not identify the language specifically.
The recognition of Spanish and Chinese as commonly encountered languages is consistent with the Census Bureau’s ACS results. The high instances of Indic languages (including Hindi and Punjabi) is also consistent with the ACS results and indicates that languages with greater percentages of LEPs in Union City according to the ACS may not necessarily be the target demographic for Union City Transit outreach efforts.

A short four (4) question survey was given to seventy-two (72) staff members identified as providing Union City Transit and Paratransit services (both contractor and city employees) to find out the frequency of interactions with LEP persons seeking Union City transit services.
The survey reveals that most staff members have one to five (1-5) interactions with LEP customers per week. Most of the staff are able to recognize the languages and are able to assist the LEP customer even if they do not speak the customer’s language. What is interesting is the higher percentage of staff members that recognize a language that they speak but are unable to assist the LEP customer.

Figure 2.11 Spoken Languages by Staff Providing Union City Transit Services Language Spoken % Spoken by Employees
Spanish 28.6%
Chinese/Cantonese/Mandarin 9.5%
Hindi 9.5%
Source: One (1) page survey circulated to seventy-two (72) staff members either employed by the City of Union City or by the operations and maintenance contractor for Union City Transit. Survey percentages are based on twenty-one (21) surveys returned.
While having some employees available to verbally translate with LEP customers is a huge benefit, the availability of those staff members is not always a guarantee. The Union City Police Department currently uses a phone operator translation service for callers that cannot communicate in English. The City of Union City’s main website has a webpage translation feature.
The current map and schedules brochure made available in September 2022 was translated into Chinese and Spanish using Union City staff, Union City Transit contract staff, and volunteers, but Union City Transit may need to pursue written translation services for its map and schedules brochure, paratransit brochure, as well as its service announcements.
2.4 LEP IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Based on the four (4) factor analysis, Union City Transit developed its LEP Plan into five (5) areas as follows:
▪ Identifying LEP individuals who need language assistance ▪ Language assistance measures
▪ Training staff
▪ Providing notice to LEP persons
▪ Monitoring and updating the LEP Plan

City of Union City – Union City Transit | 2-12
2.4.1 Identifying LEP Individuals
How Union City Transit may identify an LEP person who needs language assistance
▪ Union City Transit may start recording customer service language assistance requests, either at meetings or over the phone, to determine whether language assistance might be needed at future events;
▪ When Union City Transit sponsors an event, have a staff person greet participants as they arrive. By informally engaging participants in conversation it is possible to informally gauge each attendee’s ability to speak and understand English; ▪ Have Census Bureau Language Identification Flashcards (Appendix G available at Union City Transit events near the registration table. Individuals self‐identifying as persons not proficient in English may not be able to be accommodated with translation assistance at the event, but it will assist in identifying language assistance needs for future events.
2.4.2 Language Assistance Measures
There are numerous language assistance measures available to LEP persons, including both oral and written language services. There are also various ways in which Union City Transit staff may respond to LEP persons, whether in person, by telephone, or in writing.
How Union City Transit will assist an LEP person who needs language assistance
▪ Union City Transit will work with local senior centers to provide vital information to LEP groups on Union City Transit programs and services;
▪ Network with local human service organizations that provide services to LEP individuals and seek opportunities to provide information on Union City Transit programs and services;
▪ Provide a statement in notices and publications that interpreter services are available for public hearings with advance notice;
▪ When an interpreter is needed in person or on the telephone, staff will attempt to access language assistance services from a professional translation service or qualified community volunteers;
▪ Survey staff annually on their experience concerning any contacts with LEP persons during the previous year;
▪ Provide Language Identification Flashcards (Appendix G) at the Union City City Hall, onboard the Union City Transit fleet, in Road Supervisor vehicles and at transit systems administrative offices;
▪ Post the Union City Transit Title VI Program and LAP on the Union City Transit website, www.uctransit.org;
▪ Use an online translation service on the Union City Transit website.

2.4.4 Providing Notice to LEP Persons
How Union City Transit will provide notice to LEP Persons, both oral and written communications
Oral communications:
▪ The Union City Administrative Services Department is currently (January 2020) investigating the use of a new (renewed) phone operator language assistance service.
Union City Transit has requested to be included as a user of the service; ▪ Provide a statement affirming that Union City Transit will make reasonable accommodations to provide an interpreter at public hearings and meetings with advance notice.
▪ Use the services of a translation provider to ensure that vital documents are accurate (vital documents are defined as those documents without which a person would be unable to access services).
Written communications:
▪ Information about Union City Transit’s non‐discrimination policies and information on the local/federal complaint process will be provided in Spanish and Chinese; ▪ The general information section of the Union City Transit maps and schedules brochure, which contains information on hours of operation, fares, monthly pass sales, accessibility, lost and found, days without service, and etcetera, is included in Spanish and Chinese; ▪ The www.uctransit.org website can be viewed using a webpage translator; ▪ Onboard flyers containing information about route changes, rider alerts, fare increases, and public hearings will be provided in Spanish and Chinese; ▪ Posted Rider Alerts include Spanish and Chinese;

2.4.5 Monitoring and Updating the Language Assistance
Plan
This plan is designed to be flexible, and should be viewed as a work in progress. As such, it is important to consider whether new documents and services need to be made accessible for LEP persons, and also to monitor changes in demographics and types of services.
How Union City Transit will examine and update the LAP
Union City Transit will update the LAP as required by USDOT. At a minimum, the LAP will be reviewed and updated when a Title VI Program update is due every three (3) years; if time and resources permit, the LAP will be reviewed annually when it is clear that higher concentrations of LEP individuals are present in the Union City Transit service area. The following details the methodology that will be used:
▪ Record and report the number of LEP persons encountered annually as documented by Union City and Union City Transit staff;
▪ Determine how the needs of LEP persons have been addressed; ▪ Determine the current LEP population in the service area and whether the need for translation services has changed;
▪ Determine whether local language assistance programs have been effective and sufficient to meet the need;
▪ Determine whether transit system’s financial resources are sufficient to fund language assistance resources needed;
▪ Determine whether the Union City Transit and its Contractor have fully complied with the goals of this LAP;
▪ Determine whether complaints have been received concerning the agency’s failure to meet the needs of LEP individuals.
Dissemination of the Union City Transit Language Assistance Plan The Union City Transit LAP will be disseminated to customers and the community as follows:
▪ A link to the Union City Transit Title VI Program and Language Assistance Plan will be included on the Union City Transit website, www.uctransit.org. ▪ Any person or agency with internet access will be able to access and download the plan from the Union City Transit website, www.uctransit.org. Alternatively, any person or agency may request a copy of the plan via telephone, fax, mail, or in person (at Union City City Hall), and shall be provided a copy of the plan at no cost. LEP individuals may request a translated copy.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION| MARCH 2023
City of Union City – Union City Transit | 3-1
3 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION SUMMARY
3.1 INTRODUCTION
This summary of Public Participation activities has been prepared to address the responsibilities of Union City Transit and Paratransit as a recipient of federal financial assistance. This summary provides a framework of options and strategies to guide an approach to public participation. This framework will be used to identify and consider input from the general public and other stakeholders as integral to its planning, service, and project development activities. The concerns, issues, ideas, and needs of community members gathered through a public participation process will inform Union City Transit’s outreach efforts throughout the course of a project or activity and will lead to better decisions.
This summary describes Union City Transit’s possible approaches to community participation in the course of planning, projects, service changes, and fare changes. The communication strategies provide opportunities for the public to participate using the limited resources of Union City Transit staff.
3.2 PUBLIC OUTREACH AND PARTICIPATION
3.2.1 Public Notices and Legal Notices
Union City Transit staff uses the locally available free newspaper for public advertisements to notify the public of important project or service-related information, meetings, or hearings. In addition to the website and newspapers, notices are added at Union City City Hall, and at Union City Community Facilities. Union City Transit always posts rider information signage on vehicle interiors to notify its customers.
3.2.2 Meetings and Hearings
Publicly noticed community meetings and public hearings provide stakeholders with the most current information in an interactive setting. These consist of presentations with full project, service, or fare proposal reviews followed by an open discussion. Community meetings solicit input from the community early in the planning phases of any potential change and at key decision points. Union City Transit compiles comments, meeting notes, and written statements to document public input and present as part of a public hearing. Staff provides information to participants on upcoming public meetings through resources at Union City City Hall, onboard vehicles, at transit centers, and on the Union City Transit or Union City website; all information contains methods on how to contact Union City Transit staff with comments.
City Council/RSA Agenda 42 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION| MARCH 2023
City of Union City – Union City Transit | 3-2
Union City Transit’s public meetings are held at locations that are transit and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible, and they may be scheduled at various times to accommodate people’s work schedules. Through connections made by other Union City Departments, Union City Transit staff will work with community-based organizations and other partners when scheduling events to meet the needs of particular communities. Convenient and accessible locations, facilities, and meeting times maximize opportunities to provide input.
Union City Transit staff varies the format of meetings depending on the circumstances. Union City Transit typically has two (2) types of meeting formats: a public hearing during a regularly scheduled City Council meeting or an open format meeting at one of the Union City community centers where staff presents a project or proposal and gathers feedback from the participants.
Communications announcing public participation opportunities are posted onboard all vehicles and at transit centers.
To support effective communications with the public, Union City Transit staff will use various illustrative visual aids as appropriate and as circumstances allow. These may include drawings, charts, graphs, photos, maps, and how to access trip planning and real time information on the internet. Staff often uses PowerPoint presentations during meetings, which can be translated as needed.
Where appropriate, Union City Transit distributes surveys to solicit input from the public via the Union City Transit website, given out at bus stops and on board buses, or administered by staff.
Comment forms solicit input from the public in addition to or in place of conducting surveys.
These forms can be distributed in a variety of ways including stocking them on buses, at transit centers, at community centers, and having them seat-dropped on vehicles. Staff may also distribute them in person at community events, on buses, and at bus stops.
3.2.3 Community Events
Union City Transit staff participate in community events to establish a presence and interact with current or potential customers. Outreach includes information tables at community open houses, community health and wellness events, farmers markets, and many other Union City sponsored events. At these events, Union City Transit staff provide information on Union City Transit fixedroute and paratransit services, answer questions, assist with trip planning, and obtain input from current or potential customers and the public.
3.2.4 E-mail, Website, and Social Media
Union City Transit provides project information and how to provide input on its website, www.uctransit.org. The website has contact information on every page along with links for services, rider information, and agency information. Links connect to dedicated pages or to electronic files of printed materials. Links may also connect to various organizations involved in a project or program.
Union City Transit’s rider and agency information includes planning activities, paratransit service, civil rights, accessibility, connections, and what projects are out for bid for Union City.
Links to City Council agendas and packets are also available. Google Translate allows visitors to instantly translate the website content into multiple languages.
City Council/RSA Agenda 43 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION| MARCH 2023
City of Union City – Union City Transit | 3-3
Union City Transit will attempt to reach out to those who are unable to attend, or do not regularly participate in, traditional public meetings and board hearings. The Union City Marketing and Communications group maintains social media platforms that are available to Union City Transit for outreach. For those who can participate in person, an online and social media presence provides for two-way communication between meetings, strengthens the dialogue, and supports transparency.
Project-specific email blasts facilitate communication and feedback from the public. Email blasts may be used to communicate with community-based organizations, stakeholders, advocacy groups, merchants’ organizations, neighborhood groups and other interested individuals. Union City Transit also maintains a general email lists consisting of those who have indicated they wish to be notified of general Union City Transit news and outreach activities. The public can notify Union City Transit of their interest via the website, by phone, in person, by mail, and at meetings.
3.2.5 Language Assistance and Information
Union City Transit develops and publishes schedules, information sheets, and brochures in Spanish, Chinese, and English. In addition to general public information materials, Union City Transit can produce specific materials on current or upcoming programs or projects in Spanish or Chinese as needed. Materials can include fact sheets, Frequently Asked Questions, and flyers.
These may be updated based on feedback and questions from the general public. As appropriate, materials are translated and posted on www.uctransit.org, disseminated at public events, and distributed via postings inside transit vehicles, at transit centers, and in shelters.
As appropriate, Union City Transit will host community meetings and public hearings with translation assistance provided by bilingual Union City Transit staff, external translators, or community members. Notice for language assistance needs to be given seventy-two (72) hours in advance in order to secure the appropriate type of service.
3.3 MONITORING AND UPDATING
3.3.1 Identifying Lessons Learned
Union City Transit will evaluate individual project-based outreach and public participation efforts to determine what methods were most effective, particularly with regard to obtaining input from members of affected minority and limited English proficient communities. Comment cards or surveys may be provided at Union City Transit meetings to gather input, feedback, and suggestions that will also address how to improve outreach activities.
3.3.2 Updating Public Participation Activities
Union City Transit will update its Public Participation activities as necessary based on changing demographics, technologies, guidance, and lessons learned. This Public Participation summary is a living document that requires Union City Transit to continue its commitment to reach out to all communities to maintain its relevance.

Agenda Item
DATE: 1/24/2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MARILOU AYUPAN, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CITY STAFF TO FILE
APPLICATIONS WITH THE FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION (FTA)
THROUGH CONCURRENCE OF THE REGIONAL METROPOLITAN
PLANNING ORGANIZATION (MPO), THE METROPOLITAN
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION (MTC), FOR GRANT ASSISTANCE
UNDER THE CURRENTLY ENACTED INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT
AND JOBS ACT, REFERRED TO AS BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW (BIL) ACT, AUTHORIZING FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDING
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing City staff to file applications with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) through concurrence of the regional Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), for grant assistance under the currently enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, referred to as Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) Act, authorizing Federal transportation funding.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
The adoption of this resolution is not directly related to the City Council’s five (5)-year Strategic Plan. However, it is generally consistent with GoalA of the Strategic Plan to foster fiscal health through cost control.
BACKGROUND
On February 14, 2017, the City Council authorized the filing of all applications with the Department of Transportation, United States of America, for assistance grants under Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-94) with resolution 5024-17. The FACT Act established new FTA formula programs (23 U.S.C. §53) and continued the Surface Transportation Program (23 U.S.C. § 133). The City has been filing grant applications under this resolution since that date.
DISCUSSION
City Council/RSA Agenda 88 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
On November 15, 2021, the BIL Act (Public Law 117-58) Federal transportation authorizing legislation enacted by Congress was signed into law by President Joseph R. Biden. The BIL Act made several changes to FTA funding programs (23 U.S.C. §53) and Surface Transportation Program (23 U.S.C. § 133) which require MTC to adjust its funding formulas for FTA funding recipients under its jurisdiction. The most notable of the changes is with the Transit Capital Priorities (TCP) program that allows operators to replace equipment that has met or exceeded its useful life.
Union City Transit will use FTA funding for a variety of projects such as purchasing transit buses, purchasing demand response vans, building future bus charging infrastructure, and remodeling the Union Landing Transit Center. Union City Transit has also been receiving operating funds for paratransit services and may receive funds for regular transit service in the future similar to recovery funds.
In order to continue receiving Federal assistance grants from FTA, MTC requests Federal grant assistance recipients (City of Union City is Recipient 5651) to update their authorizing resolutions to include specific language. The attached resolution includes the required language for the City of Union City to continue receiving Federalassistance grants under the BIL Act.
FISCAL IMPACT
The authorization to apply for FTA funding will benefit Union City Transit with its current and future capital and operating needs.
There will be no impact on the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing City staff to file applications with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) through concurrence of the regional Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), for grant assistance under the currently enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, referred to as Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) Act, authorizing Federal transportation funding.

Message from the City Manager
To the Mayor and City Council, Community Members and
City Staff:
We are pleased to present this midpoint update of our Strategic Plan. The City’s Strategic Plan covers fiscal years 2019-20 through 2024-25 and serves as a roadmap for Union City’s promise as a place where our inclusive community can prosper, and innovation grows.
Since adoption of the Strategic Plan, significant changes have occurred. These include the pandemic, social unrest, financial uncertainty along with the success of a critical tax measure, and other factors. With this midpoint update, the City Council has established five top priorities for FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23.
Through a team effort, we have updated our Strategic Plan. The update process started with early input from each member of Council, information from departments, a strategic planning workshop held on August 5, 2021, and preparation of this new Strategic Plan document.
Respectfully,
Joan Malloy

Progress Updates
City staff communicates progress on a regular basis to the City Council, employees, and community through updates and reports posted on the City webpage. Our methods include:
• Identify how items that are presented to the City Council align with the Strategic Plan. This is a current practice and will continue.
• Provide semi-annual updates on the Council’s top priorities for FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23. • Prepare an annual update on the status of the entire Strategic Plan. • Ensure alignment of budget with Strategic Plan.
• Provide separate reports on the Council’s priority items as well as other Strategic Plan items that are scheduled for FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23 as a way of providing more in-depth information.
Throughout the year, City staff will seek feedback about implementation from Council, so there is an ongoing dialogue and clear direction provided about the priorities, goals, and strategies identified in the strategic plan.

Attachment A. Fiscal Sustainability Page 17
Union City Strategic Plan Midpoint Update October 2021
Attachment A. Fiscal Sustainability
The City of Union City’s Measure AA (½ cent sales tax) is set to expire in April 2025, and Measure WW (utility user tax) is scheduled to expire in December 2028. Without Measure AA renewal, fiscal sustainability is only expected for the next three years, and reserves will be fully depleted by FY 2027-28. Without these revenue sources, significant reductions in both services and staffing will be required, simply because sufficient funds will be unavailable to sustain the services we are now providing to the community.
Without
Measure AA
Renewal
With
Measure AA
Renewal
Baseline Budget
Without
ARPA Funds or
Measure AA
The City will incur
approximately $14 million in
revenue losses through FY 24-
25 because of the pandemic.
Without receipt of the
American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) funds, the budget
would require deficit spending
and operate well below the
reserve goal. The restoration
of services would be curtailed.
The ARPA funds are
instrumental to offset revenue
losses and maintain fiscal
stability. Specifically, the funds
will be used for one-time
resources towards such uses
as maintenance of
infrastructure, restoring
services to pre-pandemic
levels, and funding police and
fire services that might
otherwise need to be reduced.
Without the renewal of
Measure AA, fiscal stability
provided by the ARPA funds
will be short lived.

Attachment B. Re-Imagining Policing Page 18
Union City Strategic Plan Midpoint Update October 2021
Attachment B. Re-Imagining Policing
The City Council formed the Policing and Community Engagement Committee in June 2020 to carry out the Obama Foundation’s “Commit to Action” pledge signed by Mayor Carol Dutra-Vernaci. The pledge urged cities to review police policies and practices, engage communities about them, report findings and reform them. The committee identified four key areas to re-imagine policing, along with 11 associated strategies, which covered:
• Accountability and Transparency
• Hiring and Training
• Mental Health and Social Services
• Community Policing
City Council unanimously passed the recommendations and directed the Union City Police Department to further engage the community in the establishment of a Strategic Plan that encompasses the recommendations. Work teams were established and 17 meetings among these teams eventually produced 21 objectives and 36 strategies for the Police Department’s Strategic Plan, which will be completed in Fall 2021.

Attachment C. Pandemic Initiatives Page 19
Union City Strategic Plan Midpoint Update October 2021
Attachment C. Pandemic Initiatives
When the COVID-19 pandemic occurred, the City of Union City Council and staff took immediate action to protect its community and employees.

• Over 11,000 lunches and bags of groceries distributed to seniors between March 2020 and May 2021 by Community and Recreation Services programs.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to: 1) approve the creation of the Lead Payroll Technician position; 2) reclassify one employee in the Finance Department from Payroll Technician to Lead Payroll Technician; 3) approve the corresponding Side Letter with the Professional Employees’ Group; and 4) approve an amendment to the City’s Classification & Compensation Plan.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This recommendation supports Goal B. Governance and Organization Effectiveness of the strategic plan in aligning the provision of criticalcity services with current staffing levels.
BACKGROUND
The creation of the Lead Payroll Technician position provides necessary support to the Finance Department.
This single position will be responsible for leading, training, and providing technical and functional payroll expertise to Finance staff. Additionally, the Lead Payroll Technician will be performing technical and highly detailed tasks related to payroll and benefits processing that require independent planning, judgement, decision making, initiative and strong technical knowledge.
City Council/RSA Agenda 120 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
DISCUSSION
The Finance Department is responsible for processing bi-weekly payroll and other special payrolls for all City employees. The current limited and complex Tyler Eden system used requires a great amount of time and detailed steps to complete the processing of payroll. The City Council approved an additional Finance Specialist III position to assist with performing the laborious tasks required. As such, it is appropriate and necessary to create a Lead Payroll Technician to provide training and guidance to the Finance Specialist III and other Finance staff and handle various payroll related matters. In addition, a lead position is necessary for the upgrade and implementation to the Tyler Munis system.
A classification study of an existing Payroll Technician was conducted by Human Resources staff and determined the reclassification to the Lead Payroll Technician classification is appropriate.
FISCAL IMPACT
The annualcost of this reclassification is $7,200 and will be covered by salary savings.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to: 1) approve the creation of the Lead Payroll Technician position; 2) reclassify one employee in the Finance Department from Payroll Technician to Lead Payroll Technician; 3) approve the corresponding Side Letter with the Professional Employees’ Group; and 4) approve an amendment to the City’s Classification & Compensation Plan.

City of Union City - Classification & Compensation Plan City Council/RSA Agenda 133 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
Agenda Item
DATE: 1/24/2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: LILYBELL NAKAMURA, HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY’S
CLASSIFICATION & COMPENSATION PLAN IN CONFORMANCE WITH
CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 2, SECTION 570.5
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving amendments to the City’s Classification & Compensation Plan, effective January 9, 2023, for the Management Employees’ Group (MEG), Professional Employees’ Group (PEG), Service Employees’ International Union Local 1021 (SEIU), Police Management Association (PMA), Police Officers’ Association (POA), Unrepresented Department Heads, Unrepresented Management, Unrepresented Non-Management positions and the Chief of Police. The City Council previously took final action to approve the cost-of-living adjustments and market equity adjustments identified in this report. Thus, this resolution does not approve any compensation increases, rather it simply authorizes an amendment to the Classification & Compensation Plan to reflect the City Council’s previously approved cost-of-living adjustments and market equity adjustments as outlined in this report.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This action supports Strategy 8 of Goal B, Governance and Organization Effectiveness, by ensuring salaries are competitive in order to recruit, attract and retain talented employees.
BACKGROUND
The City Council approved successor Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with MEG, PEG, SEIU Local 1021, PMA and POA, and the Compensation and Benefit Plan for Unrepresented Department Heads, Unrepresented Management and Unrepresented Non-Management for the period of January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. Each of the previously approved MOUs and the Compensation and Benefit Plan had built in cost-of-living adjustments that take effect the first full pay period of 2023 (January 9th). Additionally, the City Council previously approved an employment agreement with the Chief of Police which also included a cost-of-living adjustment consistent with the MOUs and the Compensation and Benefit Plan.
DISCUSSION
The proposed amendment to the Classification & Compensation Plan reflects the 3% cost-of-living adjustments consistent with the previously approved MOUs, Compensation and Benefit Plan and Chief of City Council/RSA Agenda 134 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
Police employment agreement.
Additionally, the amendment to the Classification & Compensation Plan reflects the 4% market equity adjustments for positions in the PMA and the 4% market equity adjustments for sworn positions and 2% market equity adjustments for non-sworn positions in the POA. The market equity adjustments are established based upon the survey methodology and the recently completed surveys as required in the MOUs with PMA and POA.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no additional fiscal impact. The update to the Classification and Compensation Plan implements compensation adjustments identified in the MOUs approved by the City Council in 2022.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to approve an amendment to the City’s Classification & Compensation Plan, effective January 9, 2023.

Agenda Item
DATE: 1/24/2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KRISTOPHER J. KOKOTAYLO, CITYATTORNEY
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION FINDING THAT THERE IS A PROCLAIMED STATE OF EMERGENCY; FINDING THAT MEETING IN PERSON
WOULD PRESENT IMMINENT RISKS TO THE HEALTH OR SAFETY OF ATTENDEES AS A RESULT OF THE STATE OF EMERGENCY; AND
AUTHORIZING REMOTE TELECONFERENCED MEETINGS OF THE
LEGISLATIVE BODIES OF THE CITY OF UNION CITY FOR THE 30 DAY PERIOD BEGINNING JANUARY24 PURSUANT TO AB 361
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to continue conducting City Council and all other City Council appointed Board and Commission meetings remotely due to health and safety concerns for the public and making related findings in compliance with AB 361 (2021).
AB 361 requires that the City Council revisit the need to continue conducting virtual meetings every 30 days.
Staff and the City Attorney recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution making the necessary findings pursuant to AB 361 to continue conducting virtual meetings. Absent further action of the City Council, the City's legislative bodies would need to continue in-person meetings 30 days after January 10, 2022. Staff anticipates that this will be the last time that the City Council will adopt a resolution to continue conducting meeting pursuant to AB 361 as Governor Newsom has indicated his intent to end that statewide state of emergency on February 28, 2023. Without the statewide emergency, the City cannot conduct meetings pursuant to AB 361.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This action is not related to the Strategic Plan as it is in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
BACKGROUND
On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom declared a State of Emergency to make additional resources available, formalize emergency actions already underway across multiple state agencies and departments, and help the City Council/RSA Agenda 142 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
State address the broader spread of COVID 19.
On March 16, 2020, the City Council adopted a Resolution ratifying the proclamation of a local state of emergency by the Director of Emergency Services due to COVID-19.
On March 17, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N29-20, which suspended certain provisions of the Brown Act in order to allow local legislative bodies to conduct meetings telephonically or by other means. Additionally, the State implemented a shelter-in-place order, requiring all non-essential personnel to work from home.
The City has established virtual meetings for all City Council and City Council appointed Board and Commission meetings. The virtual meetings have allowed the Council and advisory bodies to continue to conduct City business from remote locations while ensuring the public’s continued access to government meetings in a safe manner.
On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed AB 361 (2021) which allows for local legislative and advisory bodies to continue to conduct meetings via teleconferencing under specified conditions and includes a requirement that the Council make specified findings. AB 361 took effect immediately.
The City Counciladopted a resolution pursuant to AB 361 on September 28, 2021 in order to allow the City’s legislative bodies to continue conducting virtual meetings after September 30, 2021. The resolution included all of the necessary findings required pursuant to AB 361. The City has continued to adopt resolutions making the necessary findings to continue operating virtually since that time.
Notably, on October 17, 2022, Governor Newsom announced that the COVID-19 state of emergency willend on February 28, 2023. The City will not be able to conduct meetings pursuant to AB 361 after the end of the state of emergency.
DISCUSSION
The California Legislature approved AB 361 and the Governor signed the bill into law on September 16, 2021.
AB 361 allows local legislative bodies to continue to meet remotely after the expiration of the clauses of Executive Order N-29-20 which suspended certain Brown Act provisions. Under AB 361, the City and its legislative bodies will be allowed to continue to meet remotely when:
• The localagency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency; • State or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; • Legislative bodies declare the need to meet remotely due to present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
The City meets the requirements to continue holding meetings remotely in order to ensure the health and safety of the public:
• The Governor has declared a State of Emergency, and the City Council has ratified the proclamation of a localemergency by the Director of Emergency Services;
• CalOSHA and the CDC recommend social distancing of at least six feet due and masking for certain individuals under certain conditions;
• The Delta and Omicron variants of COVID-19 resulted in a significant increase of COVID-19 cases within the state and throughout Alameda County;
• Meeting in person continues to present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, the legislative bodies, and staff.
City Council/RSA Agenda 143 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
The City Council has previously acted to make continued findings pursuant to AB 361, however, the end of that period of time is quickly approaching.
The proposed resolution includes the necessary findings pursuant to AB 361 to allow the City Counciland the City’s legislative bodies to continue meeting remotely. Staff anticipates that this will be the last time that the City Council is asked to do so and, 30 days after January 24, 2023, the City will no longer be able to conduct meetings pursuant to AB 361. As provided above, this aligns with the Governor’s indication that he will end the State of Emergency on February 28, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
This is no fiscal impact of adopting this Resolution.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to make the necessary findings to continue conducting City Council and all other City Council appointed Board and Commission meetings remotely due to health and safety concerns for the public in compliance with AB 361 (2021). Additionally, with the Governor’s directive to allow the State of Emergency to expire on February 28, 2023, staff recommends that the Councilallow the authorization pursuant to AB 361 to expire at the end of the 30 day period.

City of Union City - Classification & Compensation Plan City Council/RSA Agenda 157 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
Agenda Item
DATE: 1/24/2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOAN MALLOY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: INFORMATIONAL REPORT ON HOMELESSNESS IN UNION CITY The purpose of this informational report is to provide a general overview of the status of homelessness and mitigation activities in the City of Union City. City staff are engaged in a multi-disciplinary effort to address homelessness via direct services such as the CAREavan Safe Parking Program, abatement and intervention strategies, connection of resources to the unhoused. Efforts also include the strengthening of coordination and communication with local and regional groups and service providers, as well as building capacity with existing City staffing and resources. While abatement and intervention strategies are generally shared throughout the County of Alameda, these approaches tend to be tailored to each City’s individual needs, as is demonstrated by the efforts outlined in this report.
Staff recommends that the City Council accept this informational report on the City’s homelessness response efforts. City Council is invited to ask any clarifying questions and/or to provide direction to staff on the programs staff should focus on, especially if the focus is different than what has been outlined.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This informational report is in alignment with the following City Council Priority:
Goal C: Economic, Community Development and Public Safety Strategy 2: Develop a multi-departmental approach to address homelessness through coordination with staff, community organizations and Alameda County.
BACKGROUND
There has been a measurable and visible increase in the unhoused population throughout the County of Alameda and within the City of Union City in the past several years. It is suspected that the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to the higher rates of homelessness, among other factors. Even as the status of the City Council/RSA Agenda 158 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
COVID-19 pandemic changes, the State’s and especially the Bay Area’s homelessness crisis continues to be a chronic problem presenting many complex challenges.
The cost of homelessness in regard to public services, parks, and public spaces is high, including adverse impacts on economic vitality and the generalenvironment and quality of life of the community overall. With that said, the City has limited options and faces substantial legal barriers when it comes to mitigating homelessness and the impacts of encampments. Individuals cannot be forcibly removed or cited for staying on public property, such as streets and sidewalks, when there is no alternative housing or shelter in which they can reside.
In addition, the City must provide reasonable notice to owners of personal property located on public property that it plans to abate when the owner cannot be found. Additionally, if personal property is removed by the City, the City must retain and store it for thirty (30) days so that individuals can reclaim the property.
The City of Union City continues to work effectively with local partners, including the County of Alameda and various community and faith-based organizations, to meet some of the shelter and service needs in the community. To address the homelessness crisis, Union City has taken a programmatic approach of creating access and care to help those in need understand their options. The first step of which is to understand the existing conditions within the City and gather reliable data in order to respond most effectively and efficiently.
Point-in-Time Census:
Data on the unhoused is taken every two years during the Alameda County Point-in-Time (PIT) Census and Survey. Alameda County, along with EveryOne Home, a collective impact initiative for the Berkeley/Oakland/Alameda County Continuum of Care (CoC), and a Planning Committee, comprised of City and County stakeholders, have partnered with Applied Survey Research (ASR) since 2017 to lead the strategy design and implementation of the data collection effort to get an accurate count of our unhoused population.
The latest count in February 2022 was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic and is the only full sheltered and unsheltered count since 2019, as it had been previously postponed due to COVID-19 safety concerns. In summary, the 2022 PIT Census represents a comprehensive count of all sheltered and unsheltered persons experiencing homelessness. It consisted of two primary components:
General Street Count: An early morning count of unsheltered homeless individuals and families on February 23, 2022 by group size, type of living structure, and census tract. This included those sleeping outdoors on the street; at bus and train stations; in parks, tents, and makeshift shelters; and in vehicles and abandoned properties.
General Shelter Count: A nighttime count of homeless individuals and families staying at publicly and privately-operated shelters on February 22, 2022. This included those who occupied emergency shelters, transitional housing, and safe havens and a few safe parking programs for RVs that met the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) definition of a sheltered location in new guidance issued for the 2022 PIT Count.
The research methodology for the PIT Census is further detailed in the 2022 Alameda County Homeless Count and Survey Comprehensive Report here.
For the City of Union City, the 2022 PIT Census identified 489 unsheltered individuals, which is an increase of approximately 361% since 2019 when 106 unsheltered individuals were identified. This is also almost 7% of the population of unsheltered individuals, or 5% of those experiencing homelessness in general, in Alameda County. The unsheltered individuals were dispersed across different locations including tents, cars/vans, RVs, the street/outside, and an abandoned building. The significant uptick in the homeless count in Union City is attributed to those residing in a car/van or RV. As noted in the attachment, 69% (or 337 individuals) were in car/vans and 18% (or 86 individuals) were in RVs. (Attachment 1) City Council/RSA Agenda 159 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
Homeless Person Contacts and Encampments:
Homelessness data is also collected by the Union City Police Department (UCPD) and Community and Recreation Services (CRS) Department. For the 2022 calendar year, UCPD has responded to approximately 1,075 calls for service involving unhoused individuals. This averages out to about 89.5 calls per month. It is important to note that in many cases, absent any evident criminal activity or violations taking place, UCPD is limited in its intervention. For example, when responding to unhoused individuals located on private property, UCPD may only provide support via standby as private property owners take actions to remove homeless individuals from their property.
The unhoused can often be transitory, thus making it difficult to track the number of active homeless encampments. Homeless encampments that were previously vacated may also become occupied by the same individual or other individuals over a period of time. When UCPD receives a complaint about an encampment, an officer will confirm the location of the encampment and coordinate with the Homeless Program Coordinator/Case Manager for response. When contact is made, the individual(s) occupying the encampment are provided with a Homeless Resource Guide (Attachment 2) followed by next steps as appropriate. If an encampment is unattended and located on public property, the City has established procedures to properly notice its intent to clear and close an encampment. It must provide a minimum of 48-hour notice, informing individuals how to retrieve their unattended personal property in the event it is removed and stored with the City (for a minimum of 30 days). With the help of Public Works Department staff, when removing unattended personal property in the public right-of-way, all property is photographed and logged with an Inventory Form.
As previously noted, though, despite such procedures, individuals cannot be forcibly removed or cited for staying on public property, such as streets and sidewalks, namely when there is no alternative housing or shelter in which they can reside.
In 2022, the Homeless Program Coordinator/Case Manager with the CRS Department has responded to approximately 41 homeless individuals through the first 6 months of the fiscal year and is managing a caseload of about 10-25 individuals in a given week. This process is a prolonged effort, from the point of initialcontact, to providing resources, facilitating referrals to the County’s Coordinated Entry System, to collecting data and information on the circumstances of the individuals experiencing homelessness. Of these, 34 were sheltering outside while 16 were in a vehicle. The majority of the contacts accepted resources provided and approximately 80% of those contacts are in the County’s Coordinated Entry System to await/receive housing.
City staff generally assesses several factors to determine the most appropriate form of intervention. These factors include the prevalence of complaints, assessment of health and safety hazards, environmental considerations, needs of those at the encampment sites, and resource availability.
Coordinated Entry System:
Under Alameda County, the Coordinated Entry System is used to connect residents experiencing or at-risk of homelessness to resources into the County’s homeless system. The Coordinated Entry process is an approach to coordination and management of the crisis response system’s resources that allows users to make equity consistent decisions from available information to connect people efficiently and effectively to interventions that will end their homelessness. This may include prioritization to resources, such as referral/matching to housing.
It should be noted that the information logged into the County’s data collection system is confidential in nature and is not publicly disclosed. (Attachment 3)
For the City of Union City, as previously mentioned, approximately 80% of the individuals that the Homeless Program Coordinator/Case Manager has engaged with are in the County’s Coordinated Entry System. 2-1-1:
The City of Union City contracts with Eden I&R, Inc., who manages the 2-1-1 Program, a free, nonCity Council/RSA Agenda 160 Tuesday, January 24, 2023 emergency, confidential, 3-digit phone number that is a countywide service providing easy access to housing information, and critical health and human services. 2-1-1 operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with multilingualcapabilities, connecting callers with nearby resources in their community.
In the latest 2-1-1 report for 2022 (up to November), 708 contacts were made of which 157 unduplicated clients identified themselves as Union City residents being homeless or in a housing crisis. 2-1-1 reports that a total of 1,166 referrals were made, whether that would be to the County’s Coordinated Entry System, CAREavan, or any other local services. (Attachment 4)
CAREavan Program:
The CAREavan Program is a safe overnight parking program organized by the City of Union City, the Union City Family Center, and local community and faith-based organizations to provide families and/or individuals who are living in their vehicles and in need a safe place to park overnight. Currently there are four locations through the City that operate on a designated night of the week, from 8:00 PM-7:00 AM, with an attendant present on-site. All of the participating facilities and locations provide open restrooms throughout the night. In addition, the City of Union City also partners with the City of Fremont to bring shower and laundry services through the CleanStart Mobile Hygiene Unit on two days of week (one during the morning and one at night) at two of the CAREavan locations.
Through the CAREavan Program, the City collects data on the total number of program participants, the average amount of vehicles per evening, and participant status. CAREavan Program participant data is tracked in alignment with EveryOne Home standards: age, gender, race and ethnicity, household breakdown, place of residence prior to homelessness, and chronically homeless status. Analysis of the CAREavan Program participant data illustrates the program is comprised slightly more of single adults than families. While interacting with the CAREavan Program participants, it was also identified that many have been experiencing homelessness for some time, which was then further prolonged by the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of participants are local – from Union City, Fremont, and Hayward. Additionally, the race and ethnicity breakdown are majority Hispanic/Latino, White, and Black/African American. The CAREavan Program has served 296 registered vehicles, with a total of 406 adults, 182 children, and 38 pets, since its inception in 2016.
In 2022, there were 60 registered vehicles, with a total of 74 adults and 14 children. The number of active/registered vehicles currently is 39, with an average of 10-13 vehicles per evening. Participants are required to re-apply each enrollment session, which occurs three times a year. (Attachment 5)
DISCUSSION
The City of Union City currently takes a balanced, interdepartmental approach to abatement and outreach activities. A Homelessness Taskforce, comprised of representatives from the City Manager’s Office, Community and Recreation Services Department, Economic and Community Development Department, Public Works Department, and Police Department, convene on a regular basis to address the circumstances of homelessness and encampments within City boundaries. This taskforce collaborates to respond to community concerns, and to organize field staff outreach to those experiencing homelessness to support connections to services or to clean-up and mitigate impacts stemming from identified encampments.
In Spring 2022, Union City hired a Homeless Program Coordinator/Case Manager whose functions include client case management, facilitating outreach and response to concerns and needs of unsheltered individuals, coordinating resources and services through the City and County partners, and organizing action amongst the taskforce members. The City is also recruiting for a part-time Homeless Program Outreach Worker position, and once hired will work under the Homelessness Programs Coordinator/Case Manager, assisting in outreach and support to the CAREavan program, unhoused individuals, and encampments. Both positions are funded by the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) grant for five years.
City Council/RSA Agenda 161 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
Economic Development and Business Community Engagement
City staff from the Economic and Community Development and Police Departments support business owners and commercial property owners to provide resources and assistance to mitigate the impacts of homelessness on the City’s business community. As homelessness increases in Union City and the surrounding region, City staff must allocate more time to supporting local businesses on this matter, prioritizing business complaints involving security or blight that could influence a business owner’s decision to locate and/or conduct business in the City of Union City.
Namely, a focus for the City has been to abate the homelessness issue at Union Landing, which is one the City’s primary sources of ‘brick and mortar’ retail sales tax revenue that includes big box stores, restaurants, entertainment, hotels, and other services. City staff have developed “Safe and Clean Strategies” providing tenants, managers, and owners with protocols to address conditions that impact the center’s desirability as safe and clean place to visit. This condensed guide is provided to businesses and outlines how to respond to the homelessness conditions, including key contacts to resources and services for the tenants, managers, and property owners. Other proactive measures such as signage, lighting, and landscape management are provided in this guide as suggestions to deter encampments on private property. (Attachment 6) Union Landing also has a Property Owner Business Improvement District (PBID) that helps fund additional police. The PBID supports a police substation and three (3) Police Officers. Officers meet with the property owners and business stakeholders on concerns related to crime and safety. A large portion of the Economic Development Manager’s time is also dedicated to supporting the Union Landing PBID functioning as its Executive Director. Aside from addressing homelessness issues, this involves business retention efforts, collaboration with regional partners, and business attraction efforts.
Businesses in our industrial sector are also impacted by illegal dumping, overnight and extended parking, and unhoused individuals establishing campsites. Economic Development staff in spring 2022 launched a “Working Together to Identify, Collaborate, Address Initiative” located in the areas of Volpey Way, Faber Street, Ahern Avenue, and Eigenbrodt Way. The focus of the initiative is to identify issues and public/private strategies to address problems. Eleven businesses participated, several of which are consistently in the top 25 of sales tax producers. While issues identified extended beyond impacts of unhoused individuals in the area, the importance of the initiative is the opportunity to collaboratively implement strategies to protect businesses/private property with the support of the City and UCPD.
In fall 2022, an example of a public/private partnership that occurred was at 33215 Transit Avenue, where an encampment was located along the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) spur. The encampment created public health and safety concerns, an accumulation of debris, and loitering that impacted adjacent businesses. Given the encampment was located on private property, coordination and communication with UPRR was necessary for any abatement to occur. In such a scenario, the City may only help facilitate the process to have an encampment cleared and closed. Economic Development staff, alongside various City departments including the Homeless Program Coordinator/Case Manager, UCPD, and Public Works staff, worked closely to aid UPRR staff as they cleaned up the area along the railroad spur. In its capacity, UCPD may only provide support via standby for private property owners as they evict homeless individuals from their property. This example emphasized the importance of working together with public/private partners to identify areas of concerns while manageable and the responsibility of each partner to take the necessary steps to help protect businesses and private property.

City staff continuously strives to enhance the availability and accessibility of information and resources related to homelessness. As part of this effort, the City of Union City has developed a dedicated webpage for City Council/RSA Agenda 162 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
Homeless Resources on the City website. It serves as a central location for the City’s programs and resources, in addition to an array of information on shelters, food services, mental health resources, legal aid, and others.
Another notable resource for the general public is a Frequently Asked Questions webpage on the topic of the unhoused and encampments.
The City continues to seek ways to diversify its communication methods. While utilizing online platforms to communicate information has been an effective tool, the City recognizes traditional paper-based publications or prints (such as handouts and flyers) are equally useful. This continues to be an important means of providing community members with information and resources on homelessness.
Gaps and Barriers
One of the primary gaps to addressing the homelessness issue is a lack of shelter and interim housing options in Union City, let alone having sufficient shelters and interim housing options to support the number of unhoused individuals throughout the region. Currently, there are two Housing Resource Centers serving the South County/Tri-City (Fremont, Newark, and Union City) area; both of which are in Fremont. These access points are open for drop-in to support those currently experiencing homelessness and seeking resources.
The City also relies on nearby partners and outside agencies to provide shelter and interim housing options.
For example, the City of Fremont owns and operates a Housing Navigation Center through Bay Area Community Services (BACS). The Fremont Navigation Center provides a clean, safe, calm, and flexible environment that allows homeless individuals to rebuild their lives and intensely focus on finding stable permanent housing. Participants are accepted into the center after outreach and intake, and generally stay six months or less, before finding a permanent placement. Since opening in October 2020, the Housing Navigation Center has served 83 people with a transition rate of nearly 80% of individuals moving into housing, alternative community programs, or other settings. It is worth noting, however, that the capacity of this particular center is only 30 beds at a given time; and while an option, remains competitive as the closest and only center to service the South County/Tri-City area. The City of Fremont estimates its operation costs for its Housing Navigation Center to be approximately $1.2 million annually.
Such shelters as these are most effective when part of a continuum of care that coordinates resources, meets the specific needs of each individual, and moves them towards housing, health, and economic stability.
However, shelters each have their own programming and capacity limitations, therefore making it difficult to meet the needs and demands of the homelessness crisis.
If a given shelter has available space, there are generally conditions that have to be followed before an individual is accepted into the facility. Common barriers exist, such as the inability to provide physical accessibility or reasonable accommodations, refusals due to existing mental illness, lack of options for families or partners, lack of facilities accepting service animals or pets, curfews that are prohibitive to potential work schedules or other engagements, refusal due to certain convictions or criminal history, etc.
Another gap to being able to address homelessness is funding, or rather the lack thereof. In November 2020, the City of Union City applied to the Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department’s Homeless Provider Incubator Fund to expand the CAREavan program and support the then proposed homeless outreach and engagement plan. Unfortunately, the City was not selected for an award and there does not appear to be another additional round of funding available since the source of funds may have been tied to one-time COVID-19 response funds.
During that time, the City also applied for the Alameda County Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) grant funding, which was awarded. HHAP funding is being used for the CAREavan Program and to cover additional costs incurred by the program. These funds will need to be fully utilized by June 2023, at which time once exhausted, the City will need to re-apply for additional funding. As part of this process, the City Council/RSA Agenda 163 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
City was accepted as a County vendor, which should allow for the City to be able to apply to other County Notice of Funding Availability (NOFAs) more easily.
While the following funding sources have sunset, the City had previously utilized Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP), CDBG, and CDBG Corona Virus (CDBG-CV) funds to address the unhoused in Union City back in 2020. The federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act had allocated supplemental CDBG-CV funds through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to the State’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Those funds were for the purpose of preventing, preparing for, and responding to the Coronavirus. HEAP funds were used specifically for the CAREavan Program, while CDBG Program Funds and CDBG-CV were used to fund both the CAREavan Program and rentalassistance (designated by the City Council via Resolution No. 5605-20).
Currently, the City is utilizing funds from the State's Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program, which has allocated Union City $1,523,610 over the five-year period (or $253,935 annually). PLHA funds can be used to assist persons who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including, but not limited to, providing rapid rehousing, rental assistance, supportive/case management services that allow people to obtain and retain housing, operating and capital costs for navigation centers and emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing. The City is using the PLHA funds specifically for the CAREavan Program and to fund the Homeless Program Coordinator/Case Manager. It should also be mentioned that the City would need to go through the County of Alameda to reapply for additional funds once the program period ends under the 5-year Affordable and Supportive Housing Operating Subsidy Program. The PLHA NOFA is scheduled to be released in July 2023 as an over-thecounter application process for rolling awards.
Project Homekey, part of the State’s initiative to address homelessness, purchases and rehabilitates housing, including hotels, motels, vacant apartment buildings and other properties, and converting them into permanent, long-term housing for individuals experiencing or at-risk of homelessness. In the past year, the City partnered in a multijurisdictional (Hayward, Livermore, and Piedmont) application for a scattered site model, which would purchase single family homes and convert them into supportive housing projects with 5-6 units. The units would house residents at 30% or below of area median income (Extremely Low Income) who are experiencing or at-risk of homelessness. Unfortunately, the application was unsuccessful even after an appeal to State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). With that said, City staff continues to work with the multijurisdictionalcohort on an application for the next round of Project Homekey funding (to be released later this year). Part of this includes identifying possible properties that may work for the program and potential funding sources that may be utilized to help with the purchase of the single-family homes.
Funding remains an ongoing challenge but is critical to expand services such as the CAREavan Program or to direct towards other solutions. The Governor’s recently proposed January State Budget upholds commitments made in last year’s 2022 Budget Act to invest an additional $1 billion to fund a fifth round of Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention grants for Fiscal Year 2023-2024. However, the budget does not include any new, ongoing funding for cities to address the housing supply and homelessness. Specifically, it provides for the following allocations:
Homelessness Funding: Maintains $3.4 billion to address homelessness as committed in prior budgets.
This includes $400 million for the third round of encampment resolution grants and $1 billion for the fifth round of Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) grants.
Homelessness Funding Accountability and Transparency: Proposes statutory changes to the HHAP program to prioritize spending on activities such as encampment resolution, Homekey operating sustainability, and Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Act housing supports.
This focus may also be accompanied by expanded housing streamlining provisions.
Homelessness Funding Eligibility: Seeks to condition eligibility for any future homeless-related grants and competitive programs through the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency and the Health and Human Services Agency, on compliance with state housing law.
City Council/RSA Agenda 164 Tuesday, January 24, 2023
Staff willcontinue to monitor the State Budget, as wellas other funding opportunities that may arise.
Lastly, staffing is limited, as only one full-time Homeless Program Coordinator/Case Manager and one parttime Homeless Program Outreach Worker are budgeted and dedicated to the City’s homelessness response.
The City will need to gradually build capacity within existing staffing and resources. Thus, much focus for the City would be to continue working in conjunction with local and regional partners and agencies to address this complex challenge.
Next Steps
Alameda County’s Home Together 2026 Community Plan is a 5-year strategic initiative centered on racial equity that lays out strategies, activities, and resources needed to dramatically reduce homelessness in Alameda County. The cities throughout the County, including Union City, have endorsed the plan as it provides a framework in which local jurisdictions may follow in its efforts to address homelessness. There are specific action steps that can be taken in four categories (Attachment 7):
1. Prevent homelessness for our residents
2. Connect people to shelter and needed resources
3. Increase housing solutions
4. Strengthen coordination, communication, and capacity For the City of Union City, a similar policy framework may also be taken, while maintaining a person-centric service model approach. This is one of the hallmarks of an effective homelessness response system which focuses on those experiencing or at-risk of homelessness, responds to their needs with dignity and respect, and identifies and addresses disparate access and results based on race, ethnicity, and other factors. What will be critical for the City going forward would be to better define and concentrate its efforts in areas of greatest need using data-driven planning and decision-making. In addition, continually working to identify key investment areas that are feasible from a funding and staffing perspective willalso be important. There is no single solution to the homelessness crisis, thus requiring staff to remain attentive and to prioritize its resources accordingly.
Regional and Multijurisdictional Collaboration
Homelessness is a criticaland growing concern for the City of Union City and has been identified as one of the City Council's top priorities. However, it bears repeating that homelessness is a complex social issue with many contributing factors that cannot be easily or quickly solved by a single agency or organization. Solutions require both immediate and long-term strategies, and partnerships with local, regional, and County agencies, as well as private property owners and community/faith-based organizations. Staff will continue to support and participate in the following multijurisdictional groups:
South County Regional Meeting (Meets Monthly)
Alameda County Health Care for the Homeless (Meets Weekly) South County Partners Meeting (Meets Monthly)
Vehicle Residency Meeting (Meets Monthly)
All City’s Meeting (Meets Monthly)
Tri-City Collaboration (Meets Monthly)
Homeless Management Information System Users Meeting (Meets Monthly) Strengthening such partnerships are key to an effective and robust homeless response system where our collective efforts can make a difference in the lives of unhoused individuals. Further education and collaboration among multijurisdictional partners will also allow our limited and shared resources to achieve the greatest impact not just locally, but countywide.
