Field, City Manager By: Oliver Mujica, Planning Division Manager Subject: Amendment No. 1 to the PSA with PlaceWorks for the General Plan/Downtown Specific Plan (All Wards) Recommendation It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Profe ssional Services Agreement with PlaceWorks for the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan by increasing the total compensation from $3,597,985 to $4,395,308 (+$797,323); and authorize the Finance Director to amend the Fiscal Year 2021/22 Adopted Budget accordingly. Background On April 6, 2022, at their last regular meeting, this item was continued by the Mayor and City Council in order to allow PlaceWorks with the opportunity to present and explain the proposed scope of work to be completed for the enhanc ed public participation program associated with the completion of the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan. Additionally, this Staff Report has been prepared to also amend the existing Professional Services Agreement in order to include the scope of wor k associated with the utilization of the recently awarded LEAP Grant Program Funds . On September 18, 2019, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2019 -297 authorizing the submittal of an application for the SB 2 Planning Grant in order to update the City’s Development Code. Subsequently, on May 29, 2020, the City was awarded a $625,000 SB 2 Planning Grant. On November 6, 2019, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2019 -320 authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the State of California for the $3,000,000 funds allocated by State Assembly Member Ramos to the City for the preparation of the General Plan. On September 16, 2020, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020 -231 authorizing the execution of a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with PlaceWorks for a total compensation fee in the amount of $3,597,985 to assist the City with the preparation of General Plan, Development Code, Downtown Specific Plan and the associated Environmental Impact Report. The compensation for this original PSA was 8 Packet Pg. 41 8916 Page 2 funded by the $3,000,000 State funds and the $625,000 SB 2 Planning Grant. On March 17, 2021, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021 -62 authorizing the submittal of the application for, and receipt of, Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) Grant Program Funds. This application was prepared in collaboration with PlaceWorks to supplement the scope of work associated with the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan. On July 21, 2021, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-191 authorizing the City Manager to accept the LEAP Grant Program Funds in the amount of $500,000 for the completion of the supplemental scope of work associated with the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan. On July 15, 2021, the appointed General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) conducted their first official public meeting. Since then, the GPAC has been meeting regularly on a monthly basis. Additionally, on July 28, 2021, the appointed Downtown Advisory Committee (DTAC) conducted their first official public meeting. Since then, the DTAC has also been meeting regularly on a monthly basis. PlaceWorks has created the City’s General Plan website FutureSB2050.com as a critical component of the public participation program providing one of the primary communication channels for the community making recommendations to the Planning Commission and the Mayor and City Council. The community is encouraged to provide feedback and guidance throughout the General Plan process so that they may provide a community perspective on goals, policies and programs proposed for the new General Plan. This website will also serve as a forum for public participation for the Downtown Specific Plan, Development Code and the associated Environmental Impact Report. To date, a diversity of public engagement activities has been conducted during the initial year of the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan work programs. These encompass meetings of the GPAC and DTAC, “issues and visioning” worksh ops, “pop- up” activities at community events, presentations and meetings with community stakeholder individuals and groups, and postings and surveys on the dedicated project website. Additionally, Staff and PlaceWorks have been working in collaboration wit h the City’s selected development team (RD/ICO) for the Carousel Mall site to ensure a cohesive development program of intended land uses and development criteria as the catalyst for revitalizing the Downtown. These activities and input received are comprehensively described within “Visioning the Future of San Bernardino: Executive Summary 2021” and available for review on the project website. Discussion Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with PlaceWorks is presented to request an increase of the total compensation from $3,597,985 to $4,395,308 by adding the utilization of the awarded LEAP Grant Program Funds ($500,000) and to allocate additional funds in order to enhance the Public Participation Program for the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan ($297,323). 8 Packet Pg. 42 8916 Page 3 LEAP Grant Program Funds ($500,000) Increasing the availability of affordable homes statewide is critical to bettering the quality of life of all Californians and to ending homelessness. In the 2019 -20 Budget Act, Governor Gavin Newsom allocated $250 million for all regions, cities, and counties to do their part by prioritizing planning activities that accelerate housing production to meet identified needs of every community. With this allocation, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) established the LEAP Grant Program with $119 million for cities and counties. This program provides one -time grant funding to cities and counties to update their planning documents and implement process improvements that will facilitate the acceleration of housing production and help local governments prepare for their 6th cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for Housing Elements much like the SB2 Planning Grants. The supplemental tasks, included in the City’s application and accepted by HCD, associated with the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan to be funded by the LEAP Grant Program are, as follows: ✓ Associated site preparation studies and detailed infrastructure analysis for the redevelopment of the Carousel Mall and surrounding downtown properties. ✓ Feasibility analysis for the redevelopment of downtown properties to encourage housing and mixed-use developments. ✓ Enhanced land use opportunity analysis to identify feasible sites for new residential development within the downtown. ✓ Implementation strategies to address Assembly Bill 686 (Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing) and Senate Bill 244 (Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community). ✓ Neighborhood reinvestment and inclusionary housing opportunity strategies. ✓ Meaningful community outreach within each Ward and their neighborhoods. Enhanced Public Participation Program ($297,323) Over the course of the past several months of the work program, both the GPAC and DTAC have expressed the need to expand the public participation work program efforts in order to create a greater engagement by the community. As directed, PlaceWorks prepared an “enhanced” Public Participation Program based upon the recommendation from the GPAC and DTAC. On February 10, 2022, a sub-committee comprised of representatives from the GPAC and DTAC met with Staff and PlaceWorks to review the expanded work program. With the concurrence and support by the GPAC and DTAC, a number of goals are identified as the foundation for implement ing a successful expanded program of public participation, as follows: ✓ To engage a broad cross-section of residents that is representative of the San Bernardino community; where the cumulative number of participants 8 Packet Pg. 43 8916 Page 4 is secondary to fostering participation from all neighborhoods, ethnicities, ages, incomes, educational attainment, home tenancy (ownership and rental), years of residency, and interests. ✓ To engage the community where they live, in places where they are comfortable and feel safe in meeting and conversing with their neighbors and City representatives, and in events in which they actively participate. ✓ To partner with organizations and institutions that are knowledgeable, respected, and have a deep track record of effectively working within t he community. ✓ To engage the community in the discussion and identification of strategies to address issues that are of importance to the community that are relevant to the policy tools and actions within the mandated scope and authorities of a general plan, specific plan, and development code, recognizing that many other issues face San Bernardino that can only be addressed through other City tools and processes and informing the community of these. ✓ To demonstrate that City staff and the consultant team have listened to all voices, clearly explaining how recommendations were made when opinions and approaches to address issues may vary within the community. ✓ To maintain a visible process, where each step of the planning and outreach program are well documented and accessible to the community. ✓ To monitor each step of the participation program, build upon those activities successfully attracting participation and modify those that do not. The following program of public participation activities build upon and expand venues for engagement that were initiated during the first phase of the planning process. The second, or next, phase of the work program will center on developing an updated Land Use Plan for the City. It will be prepared at two scales: citywi de and individual City Council Wards and their sub-districts. Generally, developing the Plan will involve the following steps: ✓ The GPAC will identify preliminary areas of conservation and change, based on preliminary analyses by the planning team. ✓ Workshops will be conducted in each Ward to enable residents to confirm and identify other focus areas and identify possible land uses for these. A robust program of outreach will be conducted to create awareness and induce attendance and participation. Outreach techniques will involve activities described below including social media posts and blogs and engagement of the Neighborhood Associations and City Council offices. Community Based Organizations (CBOs) will be engaged to notify and support attendance by their network of organizations and residents (see below for further description). We will also coordinate with local High School Students and their teachers to create a process where they will also be asked to conduct the same activities presented in the community workshops to provide feedback to the City, Planning Team and GPAC for consideration and deliberation. 8 Packet Pg. 44 8916 Page 5 ✓ The planning team will develop preliminary land use concepts in consideration of the input received during the community workshops. ✓ The Input received from the community workshops, high school students and CBO’s will be transmitted to the GPAC, who will work with the planning team in developing a preliminary draft land use plan. ✓ CBOs can volunteer to host their own meetings and will be given the opportunity to host and facilitate their own meetings with their network of participants to obtain input that mirrors the activities conducted at the workshops hosted in each Ward. Emphasis will be placed on connecting these plans with the issues and objectives of the community. ✓ Land use concepts will also be presented at pop -up events, where interactive exercises will be conducted to enable participants to provide feedback confirming or recommending alternative uses and the benefits of the General Plan will be promoted. ✓ Concurrently, workshops/meetings will be conducted with property owners and developers to review and received feedback on the preliminary land use plan and to learn more about the changes property owners are requesting on their parcels. ✓ Feedback from the CBO hosted events and property owner/developer meetings will be forwarded to the planning team and GPAC as input for finalizing a preferred draft plan. The third phase of the planning program will involve the development of the go als, policies, and implementation programs for the diverse elements of the General Plan. While considerable content will address legally required and technical topics, the public outreach program will focus on the important issues that have and continue to be identified in discussions with the community. These will be sorted into lists of those that have direct or indirect relevance for general plan policy and those that are not appropriate but may be addressed through other initiatives by the City. CBOs wi ll play an important role in leading discussion and identifying solutions for the issues, while the planning team will work with the GPAC in developing pertinent policies based on this input. Steps in this process will involve: ✓ A promotional piece will be developed to share with the community in this phase. The handout will provide an overview of how the community’s highest priority issues (such as crime, traffic, housing, jobs and environmental justice) are addressed in the general plan and what that means for them. ✓ CBOs will host and facilitate meetings (with some high -level support and materials provided by the City) focusing on key community issues associated identified in the planning process, with emphasis on those related to general plan elements, and discuss possible policy approaches to address these. Consultant staff will participate as a resource in educating participants regarding the scope of feasibility of options under consideration. ✓ Pop-up events will be conducted at which participants will be requested to provide input on key community issues and policy options (e.g., affordable 8 Packet Pg. 45 8916 Page 6 housing, mobility, economic development and jobs, community health and safety, and so on). ✓ The planning team will develop “working draft” goals and policies in consideration of input received from the CBO-hosted meetings and pop-up events. A “strike-out” and “underline” draft of the elements will be prepared. ✓ These will be reviewed with the GPAC and fine-tuned in response to comments received. ✓ CBOs will reconvene with their constituencies and review and request feedback on a formal draft of updated goals and policies. ✓ Comments received from the CBO-hosted meetings will be provided to the GPAC and final draft element goals and policies will be prepared.

The Downtown Specific Plan will also serve as the guiding document for future development within the downtown core and facilitate the redevelopment of the Carousel Mall property. The enhanced Public Participation Program will build upon and expand the approach, venues and media for engaging the community and general public. 8 Packet Pg. 46 8916 Page 7 Fiscal Impact The cost is covered by existing grants. To date, the City of San Bernardino has been granted the following funds to cover the costs associated with the General Plan, Development Code, Downtown Specific Plan, and Environmental Impact Report, totaling $4,125,000: ✓ $3,000,000 from State Budget, requested by Assembly member Ramos ✓ $625,000 from the SB2 Planning Grant Program ✓ $500,000 from the Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) Grants Program As part of this Amendment, the total costs under the terms of the Agreement with PlaceWorks will be $4,395,308. Therefore, there will be an impact to the General Fund in the amount of $270,308 with this Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with PlaceWorks.

Engagement efforts began in Spring 2021 and concluded during Fall 2021 to collect input from residents, local leaders, and stakeholders regarding their perceptions of existing issues and visions for the future of the City. A range of activities to engage residents involved workshops, pop-ups, online surveys, stakeholder interviews, and other initiatives. Cumulatively, over 200 individuals participated in community workshops and provided over 1,400 written comments addressing community visions. Additionally, a total of 186 community surveys were received and nine focus groups interviews or roundtables were held in efforts to compile feedback from diverse participants. The following sections describe the outreach process and outcomes of each outreach activity. COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS: ISSUES AND VISIONS Community workshops were conducted to enable members of the community to contribute ideas and concepts for the Vision Statement of the updated San Bernardino General Plan. A total of 236 participants registered at the Issues and Visions workshops held citywide and for each Council Ward, see Table 1. All workshops followed a similar format but were held on different days, including the citywide virtual workshop that was held to accommodate safety precautions from COVID-19. Each workshop provided Spanish interpretation. All in-person workshops also offered snacks and water. Workshops were advertised using social media, e-blasts and emails, paper flyer distribution, and updates on the project website. Facebook was used to post information about the community workshops at least three weeks in advance and re-posted closer to the scheduled workshops dates. The City encouraged posting or re-sharing the workshop flyers to neighborhood associations, elected officials, and local stakeholders, including UPLIFT SB, SBCUSD Family Engagement Center, and SBC Police Department. The City sent e-blasts promoting the workshops to over 200 contacts from the project mailing list and emailed flyers to over 30 stakeholders representing community-based organizations, public service agencies, or other local community initiatives. The City also provided hard copy flyers to city elected and appointed officials for distributing among their networks. Additionally, flyers were distributed at “pop-ups,” which were usually hosted by community-based organizations or intended to reach residents who may not already be aware of the City’s planning efforts. To further promote participation for residents in Ward 2, the City collaborated with a local community organization, Inland Congregations United for Change, to host the workshop at a local church. 8.e Packet Pg. 76 Attachment: Attachment 5 - Visioning the Future of San Bernardino: Executive Summary 2021 (8916 : Amendment No. 1 to the PSA with San Bernardino General Plan Update Community Outreach- Visioning the Future of San Bernardino Executive Summary 2021 2 Table 1.

A total of 1,160 public statements were recorded as part of this analysis and categorized into major themes. See Appendix A for activity instructions and results. The top “strengths” were parks and open space, the city’s history, art and diverse culture, and the entertainment and employment opportunities offered at Hospitality Lane and commercial corridors. The top “weaknesses” cited were prevalence of crime, personal safety, perceptions of insecurity, lack of adequate infrastructure and public services, and political corruption. The top “opportunities” included improving existing parks, creating more open space and recreation, redevelopment and development at vacant available land, and more youth and educational programming. The top “threats” were lack of trust in political leadership and use of public funds, environmental burdens and natural disasters, and issues with police, crime, violence and safety. Participants were also asked to imagine the future of their city in the year 2050. Questions revolved around eight topics relevant to the General Plan: land use and community character, neighborhoods and housing, circulation and mobility, economic vitality, public services and infrastructure, environment and climate, health and safety, and a fair and equitable city. A total of 1,483 public comments were gathered and recorded to help serve as the foundation on which a Vision Statement will be written as the "prologue" to the San Bernardino General Plan 2050. See Appendix B for the activity’s questions and for a full list of public comments as part of the visioning activity at the Community Workshops: Issues and Visions. POP-UPS The City of San Bernardino hosted “pop-up” events, or interactive exercises, at scheduled community events to gather public input about topics relevant to the General Plan. A total of four pop-ups were held during the first phase of community outreach and intended to reach residents not already aware of the City’s planning efforts. At each pop-up, information about the project was provided, as well as opportunities to get involved. All outreach materials were provided in Spanish, and Spanish-speaking staff were present at each pop-up. A total of 62 surveys were received at the pop-ups, and 1,107 public comments were recorded as part of the pop-up’s facilitated activities, see Table 2. 8.e Packet Pg. 77 Attachment: Attachment 5 - Visioning the Future of San Bernardino: Executive Summary 2021 (8916 : Amendment No. 1 to the PSA with San Bernardino General Plan Update Community Outreach- Visioning the Future of San Bernardino Executive Summary 2021 3 Table 2.

It included a variety of activities, such as mapping exercises, surveys, and input boards. Community members had the opportunity to help identify issues and assets throughout the city and Downtown San Bernardino, provide circulation improvement ideas, respond to city visioning exercises, and complete a community survey. A summary of the outreach process and key findings can be found in Appendix C. At the following three pop-ups, community members completed community surveys and received information about upcoming events. A total of 23 surveys were received during a back-to-school event hosted by the San Bernardino City Unified School District (July 27, 2021) and 26 surveys were received at a community block party hosted by UPLIFT San Bernardino (September 26, 2021). A fourth pop-up was held during the city’s annual Rendezvous Back to Route 66 event and car show (October 2, 2021). A total of 73 public comments were received via display boards requesting participants to imagine what the City will look like in the year 2050. Participants provided their input based off the following questions, “Imagine that you would be transported 20 to 30 years in the future… What are the most significant issues and challenges that have been overcome? What attracts people to live, work, and play in the City of Downtown? What has remained constant?” See Appendix D for a full list of public comments made during the pop-up at the Back to Route 66 event. STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS Stakeholder interviews or roundtables with special interest groups were held to facilitate discussion on topics related to the General Plan. A total of nine focus groups were coordinated with participation from representatives across various fields, such as public health, faith, arts, public services, education, and development, see Table 3.

A total of 186 surveys were received. See Appendix E for key findings from the community survey. COMMUNITY GUIDE TO PLANNING INITIATIVE The Community Guide to Planning Initiative is an opportunity for residents to learn about the history of planning, planning tools, and the decision-making process in fun, engaging, and interactive classes. The goal of the Initiative is to provide residents with a platform to inform and shape the future of the community as part of the General Plan Update. A total of 56 participants registered to participate in the program. The first session occurred on September 29, 2021 and was held simultaneously in-person and on-line with a total of nine participants in attendance.

To enable those unable or reluctant to attend due to concerns regarding the COVID-19 virus to participate, a separate virtual workshop provided a comparable opportunity for input. In the workshops, participants were invited to complete a SWOT Analysis, in which participants discussed the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of their city and/or council ward.

It has negative effects on businesses, and no one rides it. Crosswalk warning lights as shown on the project mobility board are not compliant with hearing impaired. They should have audio feedback capability. Mini traffic circles are good for improving safety, reducing collisions. Crosswalk near Sierra Way and 40th Street intersection, at Genevieve Street and 40th Street intersection, has a crosswalk that is signed and striped, but it could use warning lights and nighttime lighting as an improvement. At 40th Street between Waterman Avenue and Mountain the warning lights for the roadway curve are obscured. Buffered bicycle lanes in the downtown area would be beneficial, and more walkability. High-visibility crosswalks and painted Bike lanes are preferred. Traffic circles are not preferred. Want good bicycling routes, like the crosstown lanes on Northpark Boulevard. Bicycling around neighborhood of E Street and 30th Street could be improved, maybe on parallel roadways on low-stress routes. Major roadways of Baseline Street, Highland Avenue, and Waterman Avenue need raised and landscaped medians for beautification. This would turn them into boulevards with identity. Bicycle lanes into downtown from other neighborhoods are desired, such as by Cal State. At the perimeter of Seccombe Lake Recreation Area, commenter was hit crossing the street by a vehicle. Shaded bus stops are desired, divided medians on roadways are also desired. On Perris Hill Park Road at east end of Gilbert Street, there are currently speed reduction/school zone stripes in the road, near Pacific High School. There is a need for these on 9th Street between Mt. Vernon Avenue and Medical Center Drive. Neighborhood west of downtown and west of the I-215 corridor are cut-off from the City, with limited options to travel east-west. This should be improved. 8.e Packet Pg. 156 Attachment: Attachment 5 - Visioning the Future of San Bernardino: Executive Summary 2021 (8916 : Amendment No. 1 to the PSA with Due to sbX in downtown area, vehicles cannot turn left such a near Carousel Mall, and businesses suffer from lack of direct access. From 2nd Street to Court Street on E Street, need a pedestrian crosswalk. The Specific Plan may connect more roadways so there is an opportunity. At 2nd and J, there is a desire for an all-way stop sign for safety and pedestrian access across 2nd Street. The 2nd Street corridor west of the I-215 and downtown needs greening. 8.e Packet Pg. 157 Attachment: Attachment 5 - Visioning the Future of San Bernardino: Executive Summary 2021 (8916 : Amendment No. 1 to the PSA with San Bernardino General Plan Update Community Outreach- Visioning the Future of San Bernardino Executive Summary 2021 8 APPENDIX D.

We held the workshop at their facility, and they provided a meal for participants. •Community Survey - 186 surveys received on-line and in-person •Vision Statement Survey - 40 respondents provided input via the online survey •How people heard about the event: Of 94 participants from Phase 2 workshops o Over half (54%) learned about the workshop through a community-based organization or local church o 20% by social media or email o 10% through the City such as announcement at a council meeting o 8% through a friend o 7% other ways (which included walk-ins). Downtown Specific Plan •2 in-person workshops and 2 virtual workshops to date with a total of 33 participants •3 Open House events with an average of 8-10 participants •132 respondents provided their input to an online survey •Due to lower than anticipated attendance at workshop, additional outreach efforts were conducted to obtain input from community members o workshop specifically for CBO’s with about 10 representatives attend o held two roundtables with teachers and parents at Jones Elementary School o “pop-up” at Norton Elementary School o “pop up” at the Fifth Street Senior Center Community Guide to Planning Initiative •A total of three sessions/trainings scoped •Lead by PlaceWorks Partner – National Core •A total of 56 participants registered to participate in the program o first session had a total of 9 participants o second session had a total of 24 participants o Recently sent follow up email (direct invitation to all 56participants) asking them to provide comments on future land uses (online activity going on now). 8.g Packet Pg. 279 Attachment: Attachment 7 - Summary of General Plan Update and Downtown Specific Plan Outreach Activities (8916 : Amendment No. 1 to the 2 May 4, 2022 General Plan Advisory Committee - As of April 1, nine (9) meetings of the GPAC have been conducted. - Agendas have focused on: o orienting the members to the scope, process and schedule for updating the General Plan; o reviewing selected descriptions of existing conditions as the foundation for developing general plan policies; o reviewing state requirements and key policy areas for the Housing Element; o developing a recommended vision statement based on consideration of community workshop input; o and providing input for the identification of possible areas of the city to target new land use development in advance of community workshops to identify possible uses for these areas. - Current contract provides for five (5) additional meetings, which will be insufficient in enabling meaningful input for the development of the recommended updated land use plan and input and review of goals, policies, and implementation programs for fourteen (14) plan elements (topics). At a minimum, we anticipate that four (4) meetings will be necessitated in developing the land use plan alone. - A quorum has been achieved for each meeting, with and average of 70 to 80 percent attendance. A small number of non-committee members of the public have attended the meetings, at which the agenda provides the opportunity for comment. - The GPAC Handbook defining its roles and responsibilities emphasizes the committee’s role in educating the community regarding the purposes of the General Plan, soliciting input, and notifying and encouraging participation in other public activities including community workshops. To date, there has been little demonstration that this role has been effective. We are aware that two members have conducted periodic meetings with their constituencies and actively promoted participation in the community workshops. Attendance at meetings has not been consistent. Opportunity for additional engagement: Could use additional help from GPAC members to promote events to others (ask them to come) Of Special Note: GPAC member Angela Torres represents Ward 3. She personally hired canvassers to pass out 300 flyers to the neighborhoods close to Ecclesia Church (Ward 4) and in Ward 3. Angela was also the only GPAC member who volunteered to facilitate the mapping activity at two Council Ward workshops. Unfortunately, attendance was still not as high as anticipated at each of those workshops. 8.g Packet Pg. 280 Attachment: Attachment 7 - Summary of General Plan Update and Downtown Specific Plan Outreach Activities (8916 : Amendment No. 1 to the 3 May 4, 2022 Community and Faith Based Organizations (CBO’s) The General Plan Update outreach has seen the biggest return on investment in coordinating with the local Community Based Organizations (congregations, community groups, etc.). The volunteers we have been coordinating with are with organizations such as Hope Through Housing, Arts Connection, Uplift San Bernardino and the Inland Congregations United for Change and the Inland Empire Concerned African American Churches have have generated attendance at events and facilitated General Plan activities (such as input on the Land Use Plan) creating opportunities to engage with community members that the City wouldn’t otherwise reach. • Inland Congregations United for Change hosted a Phase 1 workshop at a local church in Ward 2 (St. John’s Episcopal) and had about 30 attendees and then held the Phase 2 workshop at their new facility (also located in Ward 2) and had over 50 attendees. • It should be noted that the church that had the highest turnout was Cathedral of Praise (Ward 7) with 48 participants, during Phase 1 (Visioning). The high turnout could also be in part that Councilmember Damon Alexander did a good job of promoting the event. However, for the Phase 2 workshop, the turnout was very low for that Ward and was held it at a different church with a much higher membership rate. High School Teacher and Student Participation Last week representatives from National Core presented the exercise to 3 classes at San Gorgonio High School (approximately 40 students combined in all classes participated), and this week (today, May 4th) are presenting to students at Arroyo High School (at least 60 students and possibly up to 4 different classes). Students and teachers are conducting Land Use mapping exercise either on a hard copy map or via the Social Pinpoint Online mapping tool. Several students have expressed interest in continuing to receive information about the project moving forward to continue their engagement. The partnerships and collaboration with SBCUSD, participating high schools and especially the teachers who provided the opportunity to present to the students is helping to expose future leaders to land use planning in the City. Pop-Ups 7 total pop-ups to date where that promoted both the GP and DTSP, and when timing of pop-up coincided with decision points on the schedule, surveys and public input activities were also conducted. See outcomes for each pop-up below.

Project flyers are emailed by City staff to City Council, General Plan Advisory Committee, Downtown Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, and the Neighborhood Association Committee with a request to distribute among their networks and instructions for picking up hard copies, if needed. To promote the Land Use planning workshops, a digital and hard copy version of the flyer was provided on the City’s monthly newsletter, and information for each workshop was provided on the City’s online calendar of events. o CED is the point of contact and sends emails distributing flyers. Flyers have been distributed at least three times so far (Phase 1 – Visioning, Phase 2 – Focus Areas, and a third time announcing the Social Pinpoint online mapping tool). • Water Bill. The City provided information about the Phase 2 community workshops to its water bill in both digital and hard copy. We also provided a flyer with general information about the project. o Two promotions: ▪ The first time, an 8.5x11 flyer prepared for distribution to all residents who received the water bill via mail. ▪ The second time, water bills included a blurb about upcoming workshops on the actual bill in English (Spanish text would not fit), and it was provided in both the paper and digital version of the bill---- this way we could reach more people. • Videos Focus Area Land Use Workshops Two 60-second videos were produced in English and Spanish to promote the Focus Areas Land Use Planning workshops. Community-based organizations and churches were encouraged to share the videos with their networks. We posted to video to our social media accounts. o English: https://vimeo.com/687320320 o Spanish: https://vimeo.com/687320351 Go Human Event The Economic Development Department put on a "Go Human" event in Downtown San Bernardino for the community to see what it would be like to add various aspects of pedestrian and bicycle improvements. A video was produced to illustrate the temporary improvements that were shown as a demonstration project and held a block away from the Arts Fest event held on Saturday, March 19th, 2022. Videos were also posted on social media. o Full length video: https://vimeo.com/696319499 Online Engagement Website (https://futuresb2050.com/) The City’s General Plan website is updated weekly with new postings of events that have occurred (for the DTSP or General Plan) or information that has been prepared (summaries of 8.g Packet Pg. 283 Attachment: Attachment 7 - Summary of General Plan Update and Downtown Specific Plan Outreach Activities (8916 : Amendment No. 1 to the 6 May 4, 2022 workshops). It also contains links to the online mapping exercise asking the community to weigh in on the future land uses they would like to see in the City. Social Pinpoint Mapping Exercise: o Allows people to virtually add comments to a map to provide input if they were unable to attend in-person workshops related to Focus Area input in each ward (English and Spanish Versions of the instructions and presentation are available online) o As of today, the mapping exercise has had 747 visits from 224 unique visitors, with 26 unique commenters who made a total of 333 comments. o The mapping activity closes May 27th o Social media push week of 4/25/22 to encourage community to participate Social Media • Department of Community and Economic Development launched separate social media accounts (Facebook and Instagram) from City’s main account as a solution to ensure social media posts were published on a timely manner after a series of attempts in which posts were not published on the City’s main Facebook account. • To date, CED account has about 30 followers on FB and 125 followers on IG and the City’s main FB account with over 6k followers. • To date, CED account has posted about 23 posts regarding the project Social Media Opportunities • Sometimes social media posts are shared and/or re-posted by accounts with a larger following, such as San Bernardino City Neighborhood Association Council, San Bernardino City Unified School District, San Bernardino City Police Department, and others community- based organizations. o Can we coordinate more actively with the City’s PIO to make more active attempts to ensure posts/reposts happen to help us reach widest audience? We will also work more closely with CED Staff to develop social media schedule that projects 4-6 weeks out. o Is there an opportunity to collaborate more internally with staff (CED, PIO?) to ensure that General Plan Facebook posts are posted on City’s main page? Would provide exposure to an exponentially larger audience… o How can we better connect to City Council offices to ensure the see material and can help promote? Perhaps not sharing because they don’t know it’s available?

Field, City Manager Subject: Ordinance Amending Various Sections of Chapter 8.60 and Adding Section 8.60.170 (All Wards) Recommendation It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California introduce, read by title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. MC - 1578, amending various sections of Chapter 8.60 and adding section 8.60.170 to Chapter 8.60 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code relating to fireworks. Background The City of San Bernardino is a foothill community, which makes it, and the surrounding unincorporated areas, more susceptible to wildfires. This is one of the reasons illegal fireworks continue to be a concern for residents, and enforcement continues to be a top priority for the San Bernardino Police Department and the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District. Illegal fireworks not only increase the risk of fires but also result in injuries to persons and damage to properties. There have been two major incidents in Southern California recently, as a result of storing fireworks illegally, that have prompted cities to reevaluate their municipal code regarding the licensing, sale, use, and storage of fireworks. The first incident was on March 16, 2021, in Ontario, and resulted in the death of two people and over $3 million in property damage to 40 homes. The second incident was in Los Angeles, which occurred on June 30, 2021, and left 17 residents and first responders injured, damaged 22 homes, and destroyed an LAPD bomb squad truck. At the March 16, 2022, Mayor and City Council Meeting, an item to be considered was placed on the agenda for future debate regarding making updates to the City’s ordinances on fireworks storage and use. The Mayor and City Council voted unanimously to bring this discussion item forward at a future Mayor and City Council meeting. Discussion Chapter 8.60 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code (SBMC) regulates fireworks sales and designates certain restrictions on the discharge of fireworks. After reviewing Chapter 8.60 of the SBMC, staff recommend that the current SBMC be amended to include: 9 Packet Pg. 297 8924 Page 2 1. Additional language about the use, possession, and storage of fireworks; 2. Additional requirements to obtain a license to sell fireworks; and 3. A new section that specifically addresses fireworks storage in residential areas in the City. The proposed additions below, if adopted, will bring the City’s Fireworks Chapter of the SBMC in line with California law and make it more effective for Police, Fire, and Code Enforcement to enforce. Use, Storage, and Possession Under the current provisions of the SBMC, fireworks designated as “safe and sane” can be sold, with a valid permit, in all areas south of the 210 Freeway within San Bernardino city limits between the hours of 12:00pm on July 1st to 12:00am on July 4th. Additionally, this is the only time during the year that safe and sane fireworks are allowed to be used in the City as all fireworks, even safe and sane, are illegal before July 1 st and after July 4th. However, staff believe this is not clear enough in the current SBMC. Restrictions on fireworks use and possession are only referenced in a few sections of the Municipal Code while residential storage of fireworks is not referenced at all. Adding additional language throughout the Chapter 8.60 of the SBMC will make the subsections more consistent, which will make the overall chapter easier understand. Licensing & Operation Requirements Requiring applicants to provide the City with a current 501(c) (3), (4), (5), (6), (8), (10), (19), (20), or 501(d) verification of nonprofit status will improve authen tication of applications and ensure that only nonprofits with a current nonprofit designation receive a license to sell fireworks. Additionally, requiring the supervisor(s) or manager(s) to be listed on the license and to be present at temporary fireworks stands during operating hours while fireworks are stored and sold, will ensure greater compliance with the requirements in Section 8.60.070. Law enforcement would also have greater ability to track down the responsible party and hold them accountable shou ld any violations occur. Table 1 below includes the sections of 8.60 that have proposed changes and the impact, if any, the changes would have on residents. Table 2 below includes the proposed new section to Chapter 8.60 and the staff reasoning for the addition. TABLE 1 Changes to Existing Sections Type of Change Impact on Residents Section 8.60.010; Section 8.60.070 Additional language on the use, storage, and possession Residents and visitors will have more specificity regarding what is unlawful within the City. This will hopefully protect residents from tragic scenarios like the explosions that occurred in the cities of Los 9 Packet Pg. 298 8924 Page 3 Subsection P; and Section 8.60.130 of fireworks Angeles and Ontario. Section 8.60.030: Subsection D Section 8.60.070 License and operation requirements Section 8.60.030: Subsection D - No direct impact on residents. This minor change will ensure the City is only issuing permits to organizations with a current nonprofit designation status. Section 8.60.070 - Requiring that the designated supervisor or manager be listed on the license and be the person present at the fireworks stand, at all times, while the fireworks are stored and sold creates greater accountability and will hopefully lead to less unlawful activity (i.e., selling to minors). If unlawful activity occurs, the person(s) on the permit will be held responsible and subject to penalties from law enforcement. This will better protect residents and ensure fireworks are sold lawfully in the City. TABLE 2 Proposed New Section Staff Reasoning for Addition Section 8.60.170 Residential Storage of Fireworks The SBMC will be more consistent with the California Health and Safety Code with the addition of this section. More importantly, law enforcement will now be able to cite the SBMC for storage violations and issue Administrative Civil Penalties for storage violations. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals The adoption of the amendments to Chapter 8.60 of the SBMC aligns with Key Target No. 3c: Improved Quality of Life - Constantly evaluate public safety service delivery models to enhance the quality of service. Fiscal Impact The consideration of an Ordinance amending Chapter 8.60 of the SBMC has little to no fiscal impact on the General Fund. Conclusion It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, introduce, read by title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. MC - 1578, amending various sections of Chapter 8.60, and adding section 8.60.170 to Chapter 8.60 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code relating to fireworks.

Field, City Manager By: David Green, Interim Chief of Police Subject: Ordinance Adopting Police Department Policy 705 (Military Equipment Policy) (All Wards) Recommendation Introduce, Read By Title Only, and Waive Further Reading of Ordinance No. MC-1579 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopting Police Department Policy 705 (Military Equipment Policy) in accordance with Assembly Bill 481. Background AB 481 was enacted to increase transparency, accountability, and oversight surrounding the use and acquisition of military equipment by state and local law enforcement. It requires law enforcement agencies to obtain approval from the legislative bodies that oversee them before purchasing, raising funds for, or acquiring military equipment, by any means. Law enforcement agencies are also required to obtain approval by their legislative bodies before collaborating with another law enforcement agency in the deployment or use of military equipment within the law enforcement agency’s jurisdiction, or before using any new or existing military equipment not previously approved. Under AB 481, a governing body approval must take the form of an ordinance adopting a publicly released, written military equipment use policy, which must address a number of specific topics, including the type, quantity, capabilities, purposes, and authorized uses of each type of military equipment, the fiscal impact of their acquisition and use, the legal and procedural rules that govern their use, the training required by any officer allowed to use them, the mechanisms in place to ensure po licy compliance, and the procedures by which the public may register complaints. The governing body must consider a proposed military equipment use policy in open session and may only approve a military equipment use policy if it makes various specific fin dings regarding the necessity of the military equipment and the lack of reasonable alternatives. AB 481 also requires any law enforcement agency that receives approval for the use of military equipment to submit annual reports to the governing body regard ing the use of the equipment, any complaints received, any internal audits or other information about violations of the military equipment use policy, the cost of such use, and other similar 10 Packet Pg. 306 8903 Page 2 information. Discussion Law enforcement incidents can be unpredictable and complex. In order to de-escalate violent and tense situations, at times, special equipment, tools, or resources may be necessary to reduce the possibility of harm to community members, individuals directly involved in the incident, and officers and increase the likelihood of a positive outcome. Items identified as “military equipment” include, but are not limited to, unmanned aerial (Drones) or ground vehicles, pepper balls, less lethal 40mm projectile launchers and distraction devices. These tools have been tested in the field and are used to help enhance citizen safety, officer safety, and reduce the need for escalation of force. They are commonly utilized by law enforcement, and their use is considered best practices. The San Bernardino Police Department (“Department”) has not discovered other reasonable alternatives for these tools that can achieve the same objectives of community member safety and officer safety as these tools are capable of doing. The mere presence or communicated use of s ome of these tools can help to de- escalate a situation prior to the need to utilize them and some items can be used for other purposes, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle (i.e., drone) for missing persons or interior searches of a building, or a Long -Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) for making announcements during evacuations. The Department is committed to utilizing equipment that helps to safeguard the community and reduce the risk of escalating volatile situations that might rise to the level of a lethal encounter. The proposed Ordinance No. MC-1579 and Policy 705, provide for safeguards to the public’s safety, welfare, and civil rights and ensures transparency, oversight and accountability measures are in place. As examples, the Department will be requi red to conduct annual audits of the equipment to ensure compliance with the policy, annually report to City Council the use of this equipment, seek approval prior to purchasing tools deemed to be “military equipment.” 2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals The adoption of Police Department Policy 705 aligns with Key Target No. 3: Improved Quality of Life; constantly evaluate public safety service delivery models to enhance the quality of service. Fiscal Impact There is no new fiscal impact associated with the approval of this ordinance, policy, and equipment list. Any future equipment would be subject to approved budgets at the time of acquisition and approval.

Field, City Manager By: Alex Qishta, Interim Director of Public Works Subject: Continue the Public Hearing on the Vacation of a Portion of “I” Street (Ward 3). Recommendation It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council continue the public hearing on the Vacation of a portion of “I” Street between Spruce Street and Olive Street, and a p ortion of “J” Street at its intersection with 17th Street and 21st Street and reservation of utilities therein until May 18, 2022, at 7:00 p.m. Background Streets and Highways Code (SHC) section 8312, gives a city legislative body the power to vacate all or part of a street and sets forth the procedures by which the power to vacate may be executed. The requested street vacation would be conducted under the General Vacation Procedures outlined in SHC sections 8320 through 8325. First, a legislative body may initiate proceedings either on its own initiative or upon a petition or request of an interested person or persons. The initiation of proceedings starts with fixing the date, hour and place of the hearing, followed by publishing and posting of notices prior to the hearing. After the hearing, if the legislative body finds that the street described in the notice of hearing or petition is unnecessary for present or prospective public use, the legislative body may adopt a resolution vacating the street. The st reet vacation is then recorded with the County Recorder’s office. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Ono Lead Track Extension Project (“Project”) proposes to install a fourth lead track extending the existing BNSF San Bernardino Intermodal Facility (SBD Intermodal) lead track to tow existing Ono Storage Sidings. The project would involve construction of a fourth lead track within/along approximately 4.3 miles of an existing BNSF corridor generally from the BNSF overpass at State Street/University Parkway on the north to the existing SBD Intermodal at West 5th Street on the south. The proposed Project would close the existing gap between the two existing Ono Storage Sidings, creating a continuous lead track and improving the flow of trains in and out of the BNSF yard. The Project does not propose to increase rail line operations. Instead, it would improve the Yard’s operational efficiency by reducing train congestion along the existing lead 11 Packet Pg. 329 8942 Page 2 tracks and reducing train idling, as they wait to enter/exit th e yard.

Authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Cal Interpreting Services, Inc., for Spanish interpretation and translation services through January 21, 2024 in an amount not to exceed $30,000.00 annually. 2. Approve the one-time purchase of interpretation equipment and headsets for $16,293.80, in lieu of television monitors outside of Council Chambers. 3. Approve the one-time purchase of English closed captioning software for cable channel viewers in the amount of $54,625.00. Background At the February 3, 2021, Mayor and City Council Meeting, Council Member Reynoso requested that staff bring back options for City Council consideration to allow for interpretation services in Spanish, Vietnamese, and American Sign Language (ASL) at Mayor and City Council meetings. On April 21, 2021, staff returned to the Mayor and City Council with three options for consideration of multiple language interpretation services. Council then directed staff to return with the cost and feasibility of (1) Spanish interpretation services for the Mayor and City Council meetings; (2) Acquiring television s for the lobby for Spanish interpretation and captioning, and (3) English closed captioning for web and cable viewers. Discussion Staff took direction to determine the feasibility and cost of the three items requested by the Mayor and City Council. Staff released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Spanish interpretation and translation services, reviewed the possible use of television monitors in the lobby of the council chambers to televise Spanish interpretation at Mayor and City Council meetings, and researched options for English closed captioning for live stream 13 Packet Pg. 377 8733 Page 2 and cable viewers. Simultaneous Spanish Interpretation The Request for Proposals (RFP) for Spanish interpretation and translation services was released in July 2021. Eighteen (18) responses were received, and the fourteen (14) responses that met the minimum qualifications set forth in the RFP were reviewed by staff in October 2021. The review was based on the qualifications of the firm, quality of references, background and experience of the proposed staff, scope of work, and cost. Cal Interpreting Services, Inc., was chosen as the best vendor for the City of San Bernardino based on this analysis. The service provided by this vendor will allow the city to have on -site simultaneous Spanish interpretation for public comments and open session of all regular Mayor and City Council meetings. The cost for interpreters is charged at an hourly rate. Two interpreters will be required due to the duration of time of each meeting. The annual cost will vary and is as follows: Two interpreters = $160 per hour ($80 per interpreter) Regular meeting = approximately 5 hours $160 X 5 hours = approximately $800 per meeting Interpreters will be scheduled for approximately 24 regular meetings per year: $800 X 24 meetings = approximately $19,200 per year 13 Packet Pg. 378 8733 Page 3 Television Monitors The Mayor and City Council requested options for the installation of television monitors in the lobby area of the Council Chambers to televise Spanish interpretation and closed captioning of Mayor and City Council meetings. As an alternative to television monitors, staff is recommending the purchase of interpretation equipment and individual listening headsets. The headsets would allow for inclusion of all citizens in the discussions of city business. Citizens utilizing the devices would be seated in the Council Chambers. The headsets will allow them to follow along with the Spanish interpreters and participate, in-person and in real-time at the meeting. The purchase of the interpretation equipment would also allow for the interpreted meeting to be live streamed via a remote platform. The Spanish live stream would provide the Spanish-speaking home audience an opportunity to view the meeting and follow the discussion of city business as it is happening. Staff released a quick bid for the interpretation equipment, including 20 headsets, and received three (3) responses. It was determined that EIDIM Group, Inc. was the lowest responsive bidder of the following bids: EIDIM $16,293.80 Lexicon $16,681.75 Cal Interpreting $19,249.00 Accordingly, the cost for the equipment and headsets will be a one -time expense of $16,293.80. English Closed Captioning for English Live Stream Viewers As part of our agreement with PrimeGov, the City’s new agenda management software being implemented in July 2022, the English live stream of the Mayor and City Council meetings includes a closed captioning service. This cloud-based automated live closed captioning feature, powered by YouTube, offers greater accessibility and transparency for constituents. Utilization of this service avoids having to contract with an outside vendor, which provides cost savings to the city. English Closed Captioning for Cable Viewers Inland Empire Media Group (IEMG) assisted staff in finding a vendor to provide closed captioning services to cable channel viewers, as requested by the Mayor and City Council. This service would allow for the hearing -impaired audience to view real-time closed captioning not only of the Mayor and City Council Meetings, but all other city meetings and programming aired through our cable channel, with an option for in -Zoom Application Programming Interface (API). IEMG staff obtained quotes for the English closed cap tioning system and has determined the cost of the equipment will be a one -time expense of $54,625.00. The system selected integrates into the current on-air playback system and the vendor 13 Packet Pg. 379 8733 Page 4 selected by IEMG is the only company that provides this service. Approval of this purchase and procurement process is also consistent with Section 3.04.010 B(3) of the City’s Municipal Code (Approval By Mayor and City Council). 2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals Approval of Spanish Interpretation Services and Equipm ent and Closed Captioning Software aligns with Key Target No. 2: Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community - Develop and implement a community engagement plan, to allow a larger portion of City of San Bernardino citizens an opportunity to participa te in city business, increasing accessibility and transparency. Fiscal Impact The total cost of live Spanish interpretation services may vary depending on the number and duration of Mayor and City Council meetings per year. The approximate yearly cost for simultaneous Spanish interpreting for Mayor and City Council meetings is $19,200, not to exceed $30,000. The one-time expense for interpretation equipment and individual headsets is $16,293.80. The one-time expense for the English captioning system for cable viewers is $54,625.00. Total one-time expenditures total $70,918.80. The cost of interpretation services from Cal-Interpreting Services, Inc. and the interpretation equipment will be paid from the City Clerk’s budget. The funds were budgeted for FY 21-22. The costs for the English captioning will be paid from IEMG’s budget. Conclusion It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California: 1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agre ement with Cal Interpreting Services, Inc., for Spanish interpretation and translation services through January 31, 2024 in an amount not to exceed $30,000.00 annually. 2.

Field, City Manager Subject: Adopt Ordinance No. MC-1575 (Student Film-Making Activities Permit Fee Waiver) (All Wards) Recommendation It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California: 1. Adopt Ordinance MC-1575 amending Chapter 19.70.030 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code to waive the Special Events permit fee for students conducting filmmaking activities; and 2. Adopt a Student Filmmaking Activities Special Events Permit Fee Policy Background Currently, Section 19.70.025 of The City of San Bernardino Municipal Code (SBMC) requires the issuance of a Special Event Permit for all filmmaking activities that take place at a location within City limits. Activities covered under Section 19.70.025 of the municipal code include motion picture, television, or still photography, and a permit is required whether filming takes place on public or private property. To obtain a filming permit, an application, a certificate of insurance, a notarized property owner’s authorization, and the permit application fee of $260 must be submitted to the Planning Division for processing at a minimum of five (5) business days prior to filming. For special events held on City owned property the certificate of insurance must be a minimum of $1,000,000 naming the City as additionally insured. For special events held on private property, proof of an insurance policy for $1,000,000 is required. Academic Institutions often offer professional insurance that student can purchase to cover general liability requirements during their activities. One such program is California State University San Bernardino’s SAFECLIP, which covers students ($5 per student) performing community service or volunteer work for academic credit and/or students in radio, television or film academic programs. On April 6, 2022, the Mayor and City Council introdu ced, read by title, and waived further reading of Ordinance No. MC-1575. A summary of Ordinance No. MC-1575 has since been published in accordance with the California Government Code. Ordinance No. MC-1575 may now be adopted by the Mayor and City Council. 14 Packet Pg. 397 8913 Page 2 Discussion Local governments and academic institutions play a vital role in setting policy within their respective jurisdictions. Establishing a successful partnership between the City and local academic institutions creates a positive force in the lives and career trajectories of enrolled students. Cities should make a concerted effort to best accommodate students who seek to use publicly owned spaces or facilities to further their pursuit of educational goals and activities. One of the best ways jurisdictions can contribute to the creativity of local students is by implementing policies that remove financial barriers to success. In recent years, the cities of Redlands and Riverside have both passed amendments to their municipal code to provide permit fee waivers for all students engaged in academic filmmaking activities on City property. In order to qualify, students would need to submit an application and accompanying required documentation to the Planning Division in advance of their event date. In ad dition to the proposed ordinance amending the municipal code to waive the film permit application fee for students, staff recommends adopting a Student Filmmaking Activities Special Events Permit Fee Policy with the following requirements: 1. A Filming Permit Application 2. A letter written on school letterhead by a school administrator or instructor stating that the applicant is enrolled in a recognized United States institution and that the film is not a commercial release. 2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals The adoption of a Special Events Filming Permit Fee Waiver and an amendment to Chapter 19.70.30 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code aligns with Key Target No. 2: Focused Aligned Leadership and Unified Community. Fiscal Impact There is little to no fiscal impact to the general fund. Filming permit fees represent a small portion of the Planning Division’s annual permit fee revenue. Conclusion It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California: 1. Adopt Ordinance MC-1575 amending Chapter 19.70.030 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code to waive the Special Events permit fee for students conducting filmmaking activities; and 2.

Field, City Manager By: Kris Watson, Animal Services Director Subject: California for All Animals Welcome Grant Award (All Wards) Recommendation Adopt Resolution No 2022-75 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California: 1. Accepting a grant award in the amount of $5,000 from UC Davis for animal shelter programs; and 2. Authorizing the City Manager to conduct all negotiations signings and submittals of all necessary documents to receive the grant award; and 3. Authorizing the Director of Finance to amend the FY 2021/22 Budget to appropriate $5,000 of the grant funding for animal shelter programs and services. Background In July 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom, included $50 Million dollars for an Animal Shelter Assistance Program. These funds are being distributed by the UC Davis Koret School of Shelter Medicine to animal shelters throughout the State in grant funding. The California for All Animals initiative through UC Davis offered $5,000 grants to all eligible shelters in the state as a welcome to the new program. There will be an opportunity to apply for additional grant funding through this program to support programs and services to the community later this year. Discussion The $5,000 in grant funding will be utilized to help our long -stay dogs get adopted into permanent homes through training and enrichment. Through the purchase of additional enrichment and training tools, our staff and volunteers will work with our adoptable dogs to teach them basic commands and manners, such as ‘sit’, ‘stay’, or ‘leave it’. These skills will help make them more adoptable to members of the public and less likely to be returned to the shelter after adoption for behavior reasons. 15 Packet Pg. 406 8920 Page 2 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals This project is consistent with Key Target No. 2: Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community through the opportunity for increased community engagement at the shelter. Fiscal Impact There is no fiscal impact to the general fund for this project. The budget for fiscal year 2021/22 will need to be amended to include the $5,000 in grant fundin g. Conclusion It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No 2022-75: 1. Accepting a grant award in the amount of $5,000 from UC Davis for animal shelter programs; and 2.
