Home My WebLink About27A Supplemental Item 12-15-2021 MeetingItem 27A - Potential Item to be considered by the Mayor and City Council due to the item coming up after the posting of the agenda and requiring immediate action. Consent City of San Bernardino Request for Council Action Date: December 15, 2021 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members From: Robert D. Field, City Manager Subject: San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Grant Acceptance (All Wards) Recommendation It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 2021-305 accepting a grant from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians in the amount of $2,220,000 for a Mobile Veterinary Clinic ($1,100,000), Police Patrol Vehicles ($120,000), and Seccombe Lake Park Recreation Improvements ($1,000,000), and authorize the City Manager to conduct all negotiations, sign and submit all necessary documents to receive the grant award; 2. Authorize the Finance Director to amend the FY 2021/22 Capital Budget by $1,945,000 in both revenue and expenditures; and 3. Authorize the Finance Director to amend the FY 2021/22 General Fund Operating Budget by $275,000 in both revenue and expenditures. Background The City of San Bernardino is-avrorking to improve infrastructure citywide as well as the services that the City provides. Toward this goal, the City has invested in improvements to Animal Services including demolishing the old shelter buildings and revamping operations, resulting in a "save rate" of 94% for sheltered dogs at the facility; which means that 94% of dogs that are brought to the City's shelter are saved and not euthanized, higher than the 90% standard to be considered a "no kill" shelter. The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians have been a key partner in this improvement, contributing $1.5 million to the emergency replacement of the Animal Services shelter and administration buildings. For the FY 2021/22 Budget, the Mayor and City Council authorized the hiii&Q of additional patrol officers and a commercial traffic unit, which will be in place in FY Page 1 8726 2022/23. The commercial traffic unit will enforce weight restrictions and truck routes throughout the City, helping to keep newly resurfaced streets in good shape. The City is working to improve streets, sidewalks, parks and facilities throughout the City, with a capital improvement plan for FY 2021/22 of nearly $50 million. Even with this level of capital investment, the City applies for grants whenever possible to supplement local funds to address all the capital needs of the City. The City recently applied for $8.5 million in grant funding for Seccombe Lake Park through the California Statewide Park Program. Unfortunately, when grant awards were announced in December, none of the City of San Bernardino's projects were funded. Discussion Adding a Mobile Veterinary Clinic helps Animal Services to better serve the community's needs now and moving forward. Not only would the Animal Services Department be able to take the unit to the new shelter, but the Department would also be able to take it to community centers and other locations to perform spaying and neutering, vaccinations, and microchipping clinics throughout the City. This would be helpful to the percentage of the population that does not have a dedicated vehicle to bring their pets to a clinic for care. The Mobile veterinary unit costs $825,000 and operations for the first year is estimated at $275,000. Replacing two existing patrol vehicles with two that are specifically dedicated to service the San Manuel area during officer shifts and overtime traffic coverage on the weekends will ensure that the patrol officers assigned to these shifts have reliable vehicles available and are able to discharge their duties appropriately. The planned renovation of Seccombe Lake Park includes a walking and biking trail with nine exercise equipment stations, new turf and drought tolerant planting, new playgrounds, renovation of the gazebo, new picnic areas with barbecue amenities, and new restrooms, among other improvements. Seccombe Lake is one of the largest parks in the City and is centrally located close to downtown. Decorative and secure perimeter fencing is anticipated to be complete in mid -January. This grant will assist with the renovation of the recreation facilities including the walking and biking trails, and playgrounds. 2020-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals The acceptance of this grant as outlined aligns with Key Target No. 3. Improved Quality of Life by investing in projects and services that positively impact health, access to services, and improves the outdoor and built environment in the San Bernardino community.
