ADJOURNMENT Page 2 of 73 REC'D & PLACED ON FILE AT BAKERSFIELD PUBLIC SAFETY/VITAL CITY SERVICES COMMITTEE Good morning, Chairman Ortiz and Honorable members of the committee, My name is Madison Thorp, and I am here on behalf of Lauren Skidmore, CEO of The Open Door Network. She apologizes for not being able to be here, as she is attending a conference out of town. I am here today to share some information regarding the request for The City of Bakersfield to invest in The Open Door Network's new shelter, The Open Door Network's new shelter is estimated to be a $41 million project located at 529 Dolores Street, behind the Department of Human Services. One of the many impactful aspects of our work is that we are the_qAnhomeless shelter that supports families - we are the emergency shelter that accommodates children. Additionally, we are the largest provider of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking support, with three shelters throughout Kern County and a strong partnership with the District Attorney's Family Justice Centers. We have made significant investments in our families through childcare, afterschool programs, and, most recently, therapy and medical programs. We believe that investing in children is key to breaking the generational cycle of homelessness and abuse, and showing our youth that they can achieve a different outcome for themselves, regardless of their parents' circumstances. In 2023, we served over 180 families in our homeless shelter. We housed over 60 families (131 households total) We, provided therapy to 199 children dealing with severe trauma and abuse, and served over 168,000 meals. Additionally, our workforce development teams collected over 2 million pounds of trash within the City of Bakersfield. In 2023, we also had to turn away 32 single fathers looking for shelter. We turned away 32. Currently, we have a waitlist of 200 individuals hoping to enroll in our workforce development program. We understand that not all homelessness is met with excitement or support. Our organization is also affected by encampments, crime, and concerns, especially with our main office located downtown. While we agree that simply adding more shelter beds is not the best long-term solution, we also know from decades of experience that when people seeking help are turned away due to space limitations, their problems only magnify in the eyes of the public. The proposed campus spans over 76,000 square feet and will accommodate 350+ beds, including a recuperative care wing for those exiting hospital settings. It will also include onsite childcare, afterschool programs, workforce development enrollment, partnerships Page 3 of 73 I with educational institutions to provide certificate programs, medical and mental health services, a dining hall, a donations center, and a children's museum for the entire community to utilize. Additionally, it will provide domestic violence and sexual assault support services, as well as housing resources to ensure that all client needs are met. This campus has been in the planning stages since 2019 when the high-speed rail project purchased our existing property. Our lease expires at the end of 2026, coinciding with the completion of construction. Given the time constraints and the urgent need for expanded services, we seek support now. Our plan is to secure funding from federal, state, county, city, grant, and private sources to meet the need. This request is a crucial step to ensure that this project can come to fruition in a timely manner. i There was a mention of significant state funding coming to our community through behavioral health initiatives. Our CEO has engaged in conversations with the County of Kern and has been involved in discussions regarding Prop 1 and Bridge Housing. However, none of these conversations have resulted in a commitment to fund this 4 campus through those resources. Unfortunately, state funding sources have limitations, and there is no guarantee that we can secure these dollars. Additionally, based on our i conversations, Prop 1 dollars could not be allocated until construction is nearly complete, well beyond our project's timeline. i We need support now to ensure that ground can be broken this year. This campus will be state-of-the-art and will be more than just a shelter for people. It will positively impact the lives of everyone who enters our doors and the surrounding community. i Thank you for your time. ! i i i Page 4 of 73 4163 BAKERSFIELD ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT MEETING DATE: April 25,2024 AGENDA CATEGORY:Adoption of Minutes TO: Public Safety Vital Services Measure Oversight Committee FROM: Julie Drimakis, City Clerk DATE: April 18, 2024 SUBJECT: Adoption of the April 18, 2024 regular meeting minutes.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Public Safety and Vital City Services (PSVS) Citizens Oversight Committee determines that proposals outlined in the memorandum and detailed in Exhibits "A-C", are consistent with the spending priorities of the ballet Measure and makes a recommendation to the City Council. BACKGROUND: On November 6, 2018,voters within the City of Bakersfield approved the Bakersfield Public Safety&Vital Services(PSVS) Measure, also known as Measure N.The Measure is a locally controlled one-cent sales tax measure providing substantial additional funds annually to the City of Bakersfield to address top community priorities containing 13 specific priorities to be addressed through implementation plans. The proposals presented before the Committee will fall in line with the specific strategies of the PSVS Citizens Oversight Committee and progressive goals of our City Council in addressing Homelessness through housing and outreach services, increasing police response and keeping public areas save and clean. FISCAL IMPACT: Allocation of proposed PSVS funds will have no impact on the General Fund, as funds are currently appropriated for the Fiscal Year 2024-25.

Maintaining a fully staffed and equipped Class II Rated Fire Department Page 10 of 73 Fiscal Summary Review During the Fiscal Year 2023-24 (FY 23-24) mid-year budget discussions,the City Council was briefed on anticipated revenue forecasts for FY 24-25. The latest revenue reports suggest a conservative estimate of $103.4 million in measure revenue for FY 24-25. Additionally, it's projected that $12 million in revenues from the current year will exceed initial budget estimates,and these funds will be allocated for one-time uses in the next fiscal year. The plan is to distribute the entirety of these funds across both sustained operational expenses and singular capital improvement initiatives. The aggregate proposed budget for PSVS projects from all departments stands at an estimated $21.3 million.This encompasses expenses related to new initiatives,services, equipment,personnel,and proposed capital projects. The enclosed departmental proposals offer comprehensive details to facilitate feedback from the City Council regarding budget allocations in alignment with Council and PSVS measure priorities. The city staff is committed to ensuring that all proposals not only meet the measure's goals but also incorporate significant insights from the City Council,the Citizens Oversight Committee,and public commentary. Please note,department memorandums included preliminary estimates for new salary and benefit costs.These costs may be refined slightly to reflect minor changes in several costs associated with salary and benefits,however,it will not substantially change dollar amounts or the proposed positions within the department proposals. FY 2024-25 PSVS Funds Summary Total-, CCG#4 Community Character& Quality of Life, $4,900,000, 23% 1111 CCG#2 Safety and Resilience CCG#2 Safety and Resilience, CCG#3 Reliable $9,450,094,44% Infrastructure 11 CCG#4 Community Character &Quality of Life CCG#3 Reliable Infrastructure, $6,950,000,33% I " New Positions Proposal Summary For FY 24-25, we are proposing to introduce 9 new full-time positions, a reduction compared to the number established in the initial PSVS budget cycles. Despite a decrease in the total number of requested positions, the emphasis continues to be on meeting the measure's primary objectives regarding public safety. Specifically, 7 of these new positions are designated for the Bakersfield Police Department,accounting for 78%of the new personnel requests funded by the measure. 2 IC: a g Page 11 of 73 These new positions are civilian roles,aimed at enhancing community engagement,improving response times, and attracting a high-caliber workforce. Some of these roles are essential for supporting the advanced technological needs and services that accompany the increased number of sworn officers funded by PSVS over the last five years. The inclusion of civilian staff allows for the reassignment of Police Captains,Lieutenants,and Sergeants to their core sworn duties and managerial tasks. Furthermore, these positions are critical for maintaining the support structure for specialized police technologies and services introduced alongside the increment in sworn roles through PSVS funding.The addition of support staff is crucial in ensuring that sworn personnel are more available for direct front- line activities and response to calls. The remaining 2 requested Call Taker positions for the Community Vitality Call Center will grow the capacity for the City to address homeless encampment requests; this unit is the strategic hub for coordinating city teams responding to homeless encampments and providing consistent,quality resident support related to homelessness. Detailed discussions about each proposed position has been conducted by the respective departments, with thorough justifications provided in their individual memos included in this packet.The collective updated salary and benefits cost for all 9 positions is estimated at$874,759.Additionally,equipment and initial startup costs amounting to$76,335 for these new roles have been factored into the budget proposals from each department contained in this packet.A detailed list of positions by the department is attached to this staff report. One-time Project Funding In prior PSVS funding periods, significant resources have been allocated to cash reserves and large-scope priority projects. Because the City has been able to complete the funding allocations for many of those projects, we are presented with an opportunity to continue to invest in strategic one-time projects. Due to budget pressures from inflation and cost escalations, and in anticipation of potential economic stagnation, the list of proposed one-time projects is more limited and focused than recent years. This memorandum is accompanied by materials that enumerate these one-time projects and the proposed allocations for them. The strategic focus of investments in this proposed budget is centered on public safety, homelessness, street improvements and priority park projects. The proposed budget for these one-time investments stands at approximately$18 million. Recurring Operational Costs Summary The city proposes a comprehensive investment of $2.4 million in recurring operational costs across three key initiatives to further address chronic homelessness, enhance emergency shelter beds, and improve public safety through technological advancements.With$1.5 million allocated for Additional Emergency Shelter Capacity,the city aims to address the escalating homelessness crisis by expanding shelter options and connecting individuals to essential services, acknowledging the challenge of a rising number of homeless individuals against those being permanently housed.An additional$605,000 is dedicated to the Community Vitality Call Center,aimed at identifying and providing intensive case management to chronically homeless individuals through a team of case managers.This initiative focuses on intensive assessments, resource linkage, and monitoring. Lastly, the Real-Time Information Center (RTIC) will be provided with $294,000 for its initial year to acquire the FlockOS cloud-based public safety platform. This investment incorporates cutting-edge technology, additional FlockOS cameras, and specialized software to enhance modern policing practices. PSVS General Fund Public Safety and Vital Services (PSVS)funding is appropriated for use under the umbrella of the City's General Fund accounts. Currently,there is a projected deficit in the General Fund. Staff will present options to the City Council for addressing this General Fund deficit,including but not limited to the use of PSVS tax revenues to maintain essential City services. PSVS allocations are expected to be used (as in the prior year) to cover non-PSVS operations. The growth in expenses for providing the same programs and levels of service from last fiscal year is higher than the growth in revenues. Significant increases in materials and supplies, insurance rates, internal service funds, and personnel costs are driving the overall increases in cost. Page 12 of 73 Revised Strategic Financing for Previously Approved PSVS Initiatives In response to the cost escalations noted above,budget proposals for ongoing or recurring operating expenses have been intentionally limited. In addition,cost savings measures were identified to reduce ongoing budget obligations, and free up resources for the small number of strategic additions for our highest priority issues. Staff conducted a thorough assessment of previously approved operating budgets within PSVS to identify areas where reductions could be managed without significant program impacts. Programs were assessed based on alignment with City Council priorities and evaluation of essential services. Based on these criteria,it was determined that the following programs could be reduced while still meeting the core purpose of prior budget allocations. Significant reductions totaling$3.2 million,include: • Community Revitalization Program: Decreased from$3 million to $1 million • Economic Opportunity Areas (EOA): Reduced from$1.4 million to$700,000 • Business Assistance Program: Reduced from$1 million to $500,000 Staff also identified some funding gaps that can be addressed by the utilization of American Rescue Plan Act(ARPA) funds to ensure that one-time grant and program match obligations were met in various departments. Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget Review Process It should be noted that this report provides a preliminary review of proposed PSVS expenditures for the next fiscal year. Following City Council feedback in response to this report, proposals will be reviewed by the PSVS Oversight Committee.The adoption of the PSVS budget will occur in June along with the adoption of the annual budget. Fiscal Year 2024-25 PSVS Citizens Oversight Committee Budget Review Process The Committee is expected to meet a minimum of two times to review the FY 2024-25 measure budget.The schedule is structured to allow ample time for the Committee to review and make recommendations on each proposal. The schedule is as follows: ➢ April18th o FY 2024-25 Measure Overview o Department Proposal Presentations: Police Department,Recreation&Parks Department,Economic and Community Development Department,and City Manager's Office. ■ Please note, department proposal memos, including staffing and project requests, will be included in the packet of information issued prior to this meeting date. ➢ April25th o Department Proposal Presentations:Public Works Department and staff will request the Committee make recommendations on all department proposals at this meeting. 4 IC: a g o Page 13 of 73 EXHIBIT "N' Personnel Requests PsVS One-Time Goal# FY 2024-25 ONGOING PSVS Funds Ongoing Expenses Total Safety and IReslilllience(CCG#2) AMOUNT AMOUNT AMOUNT 1,2,3 Call Takers for the Community Vitality Call Center(X2) $ 196,000 $0 196,000 1, 2,3 Police Puiblic Affairs&Communication Mianager 158,034 10,935 168,969 1,2,3 Police Fiscal&Administrative Specialist 72,814 10,900 83,714 1,2,3 Police Secretary 1 75,393 10,900 86,293 1, 2,3 Police Fleet Mechanic 87,775 10,900 98,675 1,2,3 Police Service Technician 79,930 10,900 90,830 1, 2,3 Police Crime Analyst 104,000 10,900 114,900 1,2,3 Police Community Relations Specialist 11 100,813 10,900 111,713 Safety and Resilience(CCG#2)Total. $ 874,759 $ 76,335 $ 951,094 9 FY 2024-25 ON�GOIIN� G PS:VS Funds Total: �10 9 4- Page 14 of 73 EXHIBIT "A" ( 03 BAKERSFIELD THE SOUND OF e irC CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE MEMORANDUM DATE: March 18, 2024 TO: Christian Clegg, City Manager FROM: Crystal Rubio, Assistant to the City Manager Matthew Gregory, Lieutenant SUBJECT: Community Vitality PSVS Funding Request for FY 2024-25 This funding request is in direct support of the Public Safety and Vital Services Measure and City Council goals. With this request, the city will continue addressing the homeless concerns within our community through its efforts to improve the quality of life within our community. BACKGROUND Over the past several years, the city has made significant investments in addressing the homelessness crisis and its impact on quality of life by implementing several programs across multiple departments. In 2023, the City Manager's Office conducted an in-depth analysis of the city teams' response to homeless concerns within our community. The city receives a significant number of requests from the community to respond to homeless issues. These requests are received by various departments within the city that may require a field response. The analysis findings proved the critical need for requests to be centralized to reduce duplicate efforts, provide a better understanding of the needs within the community, and for effective utilization of resources for maximum impact. In October 2023, the city piloted a Community Vitality Call Center by utilizing part-time staffing from other departments. The call center has served as a centralized hub for all homeless- related issues reported to various city departments. Over 2,300 non-emergency homeless issues received by the Bakersfield Police Department from October 2023 to February 2024 were transferred to the Community Vitality Call Center. To reduce duplicate efforts in the flow of information received from the community, the city has identified the need to issue a public phone number where the community can report all homeless concerns to one centralized location. The existing part-time staff assigned to the initial pilot lacks the capacity to effectively Page 15 of 73 handle the volume of requests coming in from the community. Establishing a permanent staffing structure for the call center will incentivize continued collaboration between the city and the community in addressing the homeless crisis. Therefore, the proposed funding for the call center is presented for your consideration: CALL CENTER FUNDING Position QTY Cost Occurrence Call Takers (salary+ benefits) 2 $196,000 Ongoing 1) Dedicated individuals as the initial point of contact in addressing community concerns. 2) Skilled in gathering pertinent information accurately to form a plan of action. 3) Efficiently dispatching appropriate resources. Totals 2 $196,000 Program/Project Cost Occurrence Call Center Operating and $55,000 Recurring Management Costs Total Cost $55,000 The data gathered from the call center pilot has helped the city begin identifying those individuals who are chronically homeless and require intensive case management. Case managers can conduct intensive assessments of individual needs and serve as a link to wrap- around services available within the community to address the root causes of homelessness. The city plans to issue a request for proposals to obtain proposals from experienced field case management organizations for a case management team made up of about 4 to 5 case managers. This team would be responsible for conducting assessments to identify individual needs, link individuals to resources, and monitor the progress of those chronically homeless individuals identified through the Community Vitality Call Center. Data collected by the case managers will allow the city to make data-informed decisions that can effectively address the root cause of homelessness. Creating successful service engagement relies on essential client incentives and support to foster trust and build relationships. The case managers will be assisting individuals who are significantly below the federal poverty line. Therefore, offering crucial support such as bus fare, meals, and clothing becomes vital. These incentives will serve as effective tools to encourage participation, especially for those who may initially resist engaging in services. The following funding request is submitted for your consideration: Page 16 of 73 ? sriptcri east Intensive Case Management (4-5 case managers) $500,000 Recurring Client Services $50,000 Recurring The investment into the Community Vitality Call Center will ensure the efficient and effective operations of the call center as well as, enhance communication quality, building community trust, and contributing to the overall success of the initiative aimed at addressing and alleviating homeless issues. Page 17 of 73 EXHIBIT "A" BAKERSFIELD POLICE MEMORANDUM r'y�TtY.,y1 m to w DATE: March 27, 2024 TO: Christian Clegg, City Manager FROM: Greg Terry, Chief of Police SUBJECT: FY 24-25 Public Safety and Vital Services Measure (PSVS) Request for New Positions PROPOSAL This proposal prioritizes personnel needs, services, and equipment, that have a significant and direct impact on the goals of the Public Safety and Vital Services Measure and the City Council and the mandates of the Department of Justice Stipulated Judgment. With this proposal, we continue the effort to enhance public safety capacity to reduce crime and harm, improve response times and responsiveness to our community's needs, and improve systemic organizational processes while being fiscally responsible. STAFFING INCREASES PROFESSIONAL STAFF ONE (1) PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER Public safety communication matters more today than perhaps any other time. An informed, connected, and engaged community is one of the greatest assets available to us. Open, frequent, strategic, and feedback-oriented communication practices foster support, trust, and cooperation. This position will help accomplish our communication goals of strengthening community connections, enhancing community policing and problem-solving efforts, and recruiting a high-quality workforce. This position will report directly to the Chief of Police. The Public Affairs and Communications Manager will: • Plan, develop, implement, and organize comprehensive communication, branding, crisis communication, and marketing strategies for the Police Department. Page 1 P of 73 Public Safety/Vital City Services Measure: Police Department, March 27, 2024 • Oversee the daily internal and public messaging processes, including responses to daily media inquiries. • Plan, design, produce public informational materials, community engagement campaigns. • Oversee the production of all written material and graphics posted on the department website and social media accounts; develop, review, edit content. *This position would allow the Public Information Officer — Police Sergeant to be reassigned to full-time field duties and responsibilities. ONE (1) POLICE SERVICE TECHNICHAN The role of the Police Service Technician (PST) assigned to the Traffic Section is primarily that of traffic collision investigator and scene manager. Every collision the PSTs investigate frees up a police officer for enforcement duties. Statistics show that PST's will often investigate twice as many collisions as the officers on their respective shifts. As a result of this priority on enforcement, injury collisions have decreased 12% since 2019 and fatal collisions declined last year after five straight years of increases. Currently, the Traffic Section is authorized (7) seven PST's. This means one shift has 1 PST assigned, while the other three shifts have 2 PST's. One PST has the collateral duty of Taxi Permits which requires one full day, and five of the PST's are assigned to the Major Collision Investigations Team as a collateral duty. The current staffing, and related duties, mean that often there are no PSTs in service during at least part of a shift. The addition of one (1) Police Service Technician would allow for more even distribution of work, decreased response time, and more available enforcement time for officers. ONE (1) COMMUNITY RELATIONS SPECIALIST II - POLICE The Bakersfield Police Department's Community Engagement Division plays a crucial role in fostering positive relationships between law enforcement and the community. The Division will proactively engage with our community to build trust and problem-solving partnerships. The role of a Community Relations Specialist in the Community Engagement Division is critical to the efficient and effective functioning of the division. The Community Relations Specialist will be responsible for leading and overseeing a wide range of programs and administrative duties essential to the division's success: • Organizing, planning, and leading various youth programs and activities; • Preparation of work schedules and payroll for the Police Activities League (PAL); • Provide customer service to the general public; • Data entry, meeting facilitation, transcribing monthly meetings, and maintaining accurate records of business transactions; • Oversee office and recreational activities, monitor attendance, and complete intern performance assessments; • Lead staff in care and maintenance of related equipment and facilities; Page 1P of 73 Public Safety/Vital City Services Measure: Police Department, March 27, 2024 • Author grants and organize fundraising events; • Manage and schedule appointments efficiently. These duties are all currently being handled by sworn personnel. Having a Community Relations Specialist dedicated to the division will align such responsibilities with the more appropriate classification as well as return sworn staff to frontline positions to enhance response times, crime reduction, and overall community satisfaction. *This position would allow for a Police Sergeant to be reassigned to full-time field duties and responsibilities. ONE (1) FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE SPECIALIST As the police department has grown, it has become necessary to hire additional fiscal support staff. There are several complex fiscal duties within the Business Office relating to the department's General Fund, Public Safety and Vital Services (PSVS) Measure, grants, stipulated judgment expenses, reimbursements from the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST), lease contracts, capital improvement projects, vendor agreements, and other related responsibilities. Having an adequate fiscal staff is crucial for ensuring accountability and efficient use of resources, particularly among those divisions within a police department that have these responsibilities. A dedicated Fiscal and Administrative Specialist is needed to support the Support Services Division and the Training and Logistics Division of the Business Office. The specialist will: • prepare divisional purchase requisitions, • prepare financial records, including account balances and receipts, • prepare reports for state reimbursement audits, • verify appropriate billing and timesheets, • expedite internal procurement processes, and • assist with asset management. Having this position will reduce the burden currently carried by sworn supervisors and managers who transfer more frequently within the organization and lack the unique skillset provided by this position. ONE (1) SECRETARY We have identified specific areas where specialized administrative staff is best suited to serve in our organization as it continues to evolve to meet the requirements of the stipulated judgement. One of these positions is a secretary within the Training and Logistics Division who will support oversight and management of department-wide training. There are specific and time-bound requirements for various training domains for sworn personnel and civilians to comply with current state mandates. Page 29 of 73 Public Safety/Vital City Services Measure: Police Department, March 27, 2024 In addition, the police department continues to undergo substantial increases in training to achieve full and effective compliance with the Stipulated Judgment. A variety of methods are used for delivering this type of training, including lectures, virtual training, and hands- on training, all of which require scheduling, tracking, and monitoring for individual and departmental performance. Additionally, regular correspondence is required with representatives of the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) as well as the monitoring team as training is completed, and new curriculum is created. ONE (1) FLEET MECHANIC Over the past three years, the Bakersfield Police Department's Traffic Section has more than doubled the size of its Motorcycle Unit to meet the specific public safety needs on the roadways of our community. Several needs are being addressed by the Motorcycle Unit, including better response to collision scenes, traffic enforcement activities, and public education. There are currently 17 motorcycles operational in the unit, and two more are scheduled to be deployed within the next six months. Maintaining and repairing these assets has become increasingly difficult as the unit has grown. Due to the specialty training required, the motorcycles are currently being serviced at Harley Davidson. One motorcycle service requires two officers to transport and leave it with the dealer until the service and/or repair is completed, resulting in an inefficient use of resources. A dealer's capacity to return motorcycles is subject to the dealer's regular customer needs. It is critical that we employ a trained and dedicated mechanic in order to increase the effectiveness of our operations and to ensure that our motorcycles are in service at all times.

Page 24 of 73 EXHIBIT "B" A � BAKERSFIELD POLICE MEMORANDUM r"ATtY.by ry m to w DATE: March 27, 2024 TO: Christian Clegg, City Manager FROM: Greg Terry, Chief of Police SUBJECT: FY 24-25 Public Safety and Vital Services Measure (PSVS) Capital Improvement Project Request PROPOSAL This proposal prioritizes capital improvement projects that have a significant and direct impact on the goals of the Public Safety and Vital Services Measure and the City Council and the mandates of the Department of Justice Stipulated Judgment. With this proposal, we continue the effort to enhance public safety capacity to reduce crime and harm, improve response times and responsiveness to our community's needs, and improve systemic organizational processes while being fiscally responsible. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 'Real-Time Information Center (RTIQ $894,000 FLOCK OS &Additional FLOCK cameras and analytical software— Year 1 $294,000 ($224,000 ongoing) One-time Hardware/Software Build $600,000 Total $894,000 Technological advancements are continuing to reshape modern policing and traditional law enforcement practices and methodology. Progressions in mobile and static surveillance systems, license plate readers (LPR), audible gunshot detection, and unmanned ariel systems (UAS) are just a few technologies which have been leveraged to improve public safety in our community. In alignment with previous City Council objectives, our organization has invested in such technology over recent years to deter criminal mischief, minimize officer safety risks, and improve apprehension and prosecution of unlawful behavior. However, such useful tools can often be compartmentalized across the organization through different divisional needs, responsibilities, and availability of specialized positions. Page 2t5 of 73 Public Safety/Vital City Services Measure: Police Department, March 27, 2024 The development and incorporation of a Real-Time Information Center (RTIC), sometimes referred to as a Real-Time Crime Center, can maximize our agency resources and these tools by funneling the information through a centralized location, utilizing specialized software to analyze and filter the various sources to relay more accurate and pertinent intelligence to field personnel in near real-time as events unfold. Additionally, the RTIC will utilize evidence-based analytical software (SIMSI) to direct focus on locations where crimes tend to occur and to reduce risk of future crime. Such RTIC's have been proven to aid in crime reduction efforts, and the implementation has even been supported by the United States Department of Justice. The DOJ has indicated that the utilization of an RTIC can enhance agency performance through decreased response times, and improved operational intelligence for field personnel, all while prioritizing community and officer safety. The purpose and advantages of an RTIC also directly align with the priorities of the Public Safety and Vital Services tax measure. Such investment can lead to crime reduction through improving rapid response to assaults, robberies, and gang violence, advancing investigations and proactive response to property crimes, burglaries, and vehicle thefts, as well as the reduction of response times and improved allocation of resources.

Median Improvements: Various Locations: $750,000 (All Wards). This project will install medians at various locations over multiple years to enhance aesthetics and improve safety of roadways. Improvements will include drought-tolerant planting where possible. Median improvements along Wible Road from Hosking Avenue 2 Page 28 of 73 to McKee Road; and Ashe Road from Ming Avenue to Stockdale Highway. Design was funded in FY 23-24 while construction will be funded in FY 24-25 for Wible Road and in FY 25-26 for Ashe Road. TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DIVISION The proposed CIP is a continuation of projects from Fiscal Year 23/24. The continuation of City-wide traffic calming improvements that are identified using the City's recently adopted Neighborhood Traffic Calming program. These Capital Projects would support Council Goals #2 Safety and Resilience and #3 Reliable Infrastructure. Additionally, this project would support PSVS spending priorities #5 Keeping Public Areas Safe and Clean, and #12 Enhance amenities throughout the community to improve the quality of life and attract visitors. City-Wide Traffic Calming Improvements: $500,000 (All Wards). City Council recently adopted a Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program that includes a comprehensive inventory of traffic calming solutions that may be applied to various roadways as deemed appropriate. Challenging locations around the City where residents and staff have observed will be analyzed in accordance with this program to determine which practical solution(s) may be used on a case-by-case basis. Some solutions may be addressed immediately such as the installation of traditional signage, striping and pavement markings, as well as radar feedback signs. Other projects such as speed humps and tables, landscaped entry islands, and curb extensions require more effort including data collection, public involvement, design, and construction. These available traffic calming funds will help accelerate the City's response time in providing practical solutions to traffic calming requests.

Page 33 of 73 EXHIBIT "C" Public Safety and Vital Services (PSVS) Measure FY 2024-25 Budget Requests The city proposes a comprehensive investment of $2.4 million in recurring operational costs across three key initiatives to tackle homelessness, enhance community support, and improve public safety through technological advancements. A summary of proposed Public Safety and Vital Services (PSVS) Measure recurring projects requests for Fiscal Year 2024-25 is detailed below and will be annotated in our proposed project list. PSVS RECURRING OPERATING Safety and Resilience (City Council Goal #2) PSVS Goa # IFY 2024-25 PSVS Re,curring Operating PSVS Safety and Resilience(CCi;#2) AMOUNT 2,4, 5 Community Vitality Call Center Operatiing,&Management Costs $ 55,000 2,4, 5 Community Vitality Call Center IIIntensive Case Management 500,0 2,,4,.5 Commonlity VliltalIity Caili CenterC'llllientServiiices 50,000 5,9 Additional Emergency Shelter Capacity 1,500,000 2,4,.5 Real Time Information Center(PTIIC) 294,000 Safety and Re,s,ilien�ce (c G#2)Total: $ 2,3�9,91.„000 F " 2 24-25 PSVS Recurring Operating Total: $2 9�ODQ City Manager's Office—$605,000 ❖ Call Center Operating and Management Costs Allocation of$55,000(PSVS#2,4,5): In October 2023,the city piloted a Community Vitality Call Center by utilizing part-time staffing from other departments. The call center has served as a centralized hub for all homeless-related issues reported to various city departments. To reduce duplicate efforts in the flow of information received from the community,the city has identified the need to issue a public phone number where the community can report all homeless concerns to one centralized location, which would incur the proposed recurring costs for ongoing operations and management. ❖ Intensive Case Management Allocation of $500,000 (PSVS #2,4,5): The data gathered from the call center pilot has helped the city begin identifying those individuals who are chronically homeless and require intensive case management. Case managers can conduct intensive assessments of individual needs and serve to address the root causes of homelessness. The City aims to contract with experienced case management organizations who would be Page 1 of 2 Page 34 of 73 responsible for conducting these assessments, linking individuals to resources, and monitoring the progress of those chronically homeless individuals identified through the Community Vitality Call Center. Data collected by the case managers will allow the city to make data- informed decisions that can effectively address the root cause of homelessness. ❖ Client Services Allocation of$50,000 (PSVS#2,4,5): Along with support through ongoing case management, successful service engagement relies on essential client incentives and support to foster trust and build relationships. The case managers will be assisting individuals who are significantly below the federal poverty line. Therefore, offering crucial support such as bus fare, meals, and clothing becomes vital. These incentives will serve as effective tools to encourage participation, especially for those who may initially resist engaging in services. Additional details for Community Vitality Call Center, Intensive Case Management and Client Services allocations can also be found in Exhibit "A". ➢ Economic and Community Development Department—$1,500,000 ❖ Additional Emergency Shelter Capacity Allocation of $1,500,000 (PSVS #5,9): While the City has moved quickly to address California's homelessness crisis, the inflow into homelessness continues to outmatch the ability to permanently house individuals. For every 6 homeless individuals that are placed into permanent housing, another 10 become newly homeless. In response,staff are recommending consideration of additional emergency shelter options. This would allow the city to move more individuals from the street and connect them with services. ➢ Bakersfield Police Department—$294,000 ❖ Real Time Information Center (RTIC) Allocation of $294,000 (PSVS #2,4,5): Technological advancements are continuing to reshape modern policing and traditional law enforcement practices and methodology. The development and incorporation of a Real-Time Information Center (RTIC) can maximize our agency resources by funneling information through the specialized software to analyze and relay more accurate and pertinent intelligence to field personnel in near real-time as events unfold. Additionally,the RTIC will utilize evidence-based analytical software (SIMSI) to direct focus on locations where crimes tend to occur and to reduce the risk of future crime. Such RTIC's have been proven to aid in crime reduction efforts, and the implementation has even been supported by the United States Department of Justice.
