including the contract with Chapman University regarding Community Oriented Policing,

customer service survey. She was happy progress is being made to hire additional officers and
feels that the customer service survey will assist in transparency.

allocation. Mr. Smolar is grateful for police presence and the partnership established between
business owners and police in the Downtown area. Mr. Smolar wants to advocate for more
business districts throughout the city. Downtown, Inc. will provide support and the City of Long
Beach would provide technical support.

1) Angie Blas' comment was reference Item #2, Surplus Budget. Ms. Blas said she
believes that this item also pertains to neighborhood improvement and that the
community needs to be involved.
2) A letter from the POA President addressing Item #3, alternative patrol schedules.
AGENDAITEMS
1. Approval of Minutes of 9 -27 -16 Meeting
Motion: Approve the Minutes of 9 -27 -16 meeting.
MOTION: Tinajero SECOND: Benavides
VOTE: AYES: Benavides, Tinajero
NOES: None (0)
Motion carries.
2. F/Y 16/17 Budgeted Surplus Allocation (Discussion regarding the distribution of surplus
funds) — Sergio Vidal, Asst. Executive Director, Finance and Management Services Agency
{Strategic Plan Goal No. 4, 3b and 3c}
Sergio Vidal, Asst. Executive Director, FMSA, reported on the City's proposed surplus
allocation plan for F/Y 15 -16 which includes disbursement of $9.1M. Asst. Director Vidal
pointed out which programs were approved at the City Council meeting on 9 -20 -16 and
13C -8
explained the amount of funds going to other programs in the future. One final item, allocation
of funds to Public Safety will be determined at the 12/20/16 City Council Meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Chairman Benavides directs staff to compose a report addressing allocation of surplus funds with
the full spectrum of ideas to be presented to the full Council at the December 20th City Council
meeting. He had the following recommendations for investment of such funds:
➢ capital improvement projects such as parks or a skate parks,
➢ crime prevention and intervention programs, referring to the PAAL program and other
after - school education programs,
➢ Committee has entered into discussions with the SAUSD about piloting joint use
programs.
3. Patrol Scheduting/Staffmg (Alternative schedules to maximize patrol staffing.) — Chief
Carlos Rojas {Strategic Plan Goal No. 1, if }
Chief Rojas briefs the committee members on research done on alternative patrol schedules as
was requested at the last Public Safety Meeting. He provides a report based on sample patrol
schedules from the COPS office. Four sample schedules are provided with features for each one.
These schedules would be subject to negotiations with the POA. Time off is not included; this is
strictly informational. Chief Rojas reports that he has authorized overtime to staff adequately.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
City Manager will have the patrol scheduling/staffing report put on the December 20a' City
Council Agenda as a Receive and File item.
4. Police Officer Hiring (Update on recruitment and hiring of police officers.) — Deputy
Chief James Schnabl {Strategic Plan Goal No. 1, lil
Deputy Chief Schnabl furnished the number of police officer hires and separations for the
past three years. He cites the number of officers currently in the Police Academy and the
FTO Program. Deputy Chief Schnabl reported on recent process improvements which
increased efficiency in many areas allowing the Department to streamline and expedite
the hiring process. He reviewed the Sensis Marketing Agreement which was approved
by the City Council.
5. Customer Service Survey Options (Innovation and efficiency to improve customer
service.) — Commander Jose Gonzalez (Strategic Plan Goal No. 1, 1 and Goal 7, 1)
13C -9
Commander Gonzalez mentioned the mission and vision statements of the Police Department
which are to provide professional services to the community. In order to measure how the
Department is doing regarding service to the public, a customer service survey is being
considered. He advised that the Department received over 10,000 calls for service a month. The
survey would send out random surveys, focusing on those individuals reporting quality of life
issues. Information received would be evaluated with a projected start date of January, 2017.
6. Police Officer Body Cameras (Project update regarding the implementation timeline.) —
Sergeant Michael Gonzalez {Strategic Plan Goal No. 1, if and 3b}
Sergeant Mike Gonzalez provides an update on the body worn program. After a brief overview,
he reviews the testing process. Reports that Taser has been the vendor selected and, once the
contract is approved, training will begin in January. Patrol and traffic will be the priority and the
training is done incrementally.
COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS
Committee member Tinajero stated that the issue of patrol scheduling continues to be of concern
as City Council members are receiving information from the POA President that the Department
is operating below minimum staffing levels. He requested this be on the negotiating table during
the next cycle. Benavides requested the report be brought to the full council members.
Committee members continue to be supportive of the police recruit hiring and are excited about
creating a customer service survey in order to begin a dialog and exchange ideas with
community residents and business operators. Chairman Benavides remarked that across the
board, he saw the Police Department creating efficiencies and doing things in a more expedited
manner. Committee members believe the implementation of the police body worn cameras will
elevate the feeling of trust between the community and police; Chairman Benavides requested
that information is disseminated to the public once the program is in place.

Melahat Rafiei, Principal, Progressive Solutions Consulting
Mike Tardiff, resident
Susan Vanderoos, resident, Washington Square Neighborhood
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Chris Schmidt, resident Windsor Neighborhood Association, happy the name of Committee has
changed to focus on neighborhoods. Mr. Schmidt remarked that the quality of life has gone down
in his neighborhood due to parking issues and other activities. His neighborhood is not zoned for
13C -11
commercial activity. Mr. Schmidt suggests having Code Enforcement officers working on
alternate weekends.
A public comment on Item 3 (Proposed Meeting Schedule) was made by unknown resident who
questioned having only four meetings a year. Chairman Solorio and Vice Chairman Villegas
both stated that special meetings would be considered throughout the year, depending on items
raised.
Peter Katz, President of Com -Link comments on Item 6, Homelessness. He is continually
getting complaints from all 64 homeowner associations regarding the public safety in this city.
The civic center, the riverbed, the Downtown businesses and neighborhoods are all being
affected; property values going down. Asking this Committee to request County Supervisor Do
and Homeless Czar Susan Price come to City Council because they need to be held accountable.
Ed Murashe, Floral Park Association, comments on Item 9 (Measure BB). He brings up three
issues: homeless issue in the creek bed, traffic issues, and the dispensaries. He would like to see
the fine raised for businesses being a public nuisance so it targets the dispensaries. Floral Park is
having their home tour coming up on March 29 -30th.
Melahat Rafiei representative of the Santa Ana Cannabis Association, makes a public comment
on Item 9 (Measure BB). Her Association represents the permitted dispensaries in the city.
They want to continue working with law enforcement and the City to abide by the law and
regulations of the ordinance. They are asking for some operational changes to the ordinance.
She is very pleased that there is open communication with City staff and City leaders and
policymakers on this issue.
Mike Tardiff, resident, comments on Item 10 (Second Dwelling Ordinance). He would like the
City to have its own ordinance rather than going by State law as it pertains to granny flats. Santa
Ana needs to develop a more restrictive ordinance than the State. New updated State law
provides for wiggle room for cities to formulate an ordinance to fit their individual needs.
Peter Katz, President of Com -Link, comments on Item 10 (Second Dwelling Ordinance). Mr.
Katz supports an additional City ordinance because Santa Ana is a very dense city, parking is
already an issue, and the State law would cause problems between neighbors. A parking
commission could administratively deal with parking issues and suggested a slumlord task force.
Public Comment by Susan Vanderoos, resident, Washington Square neighborhood, addresses
item No. 10. The ordinance allows for some response by the City. She questions protection for
Santa Ana citizens and is concerned because granny flat can go up to 1200 sq. feet in someone's
backyard. Property values have gone down.

Police Admin. Manager Robert Carroll briefed the Committee with a power point presentation
updating police officer recruitment and reviewing the hiring process. Information on vacancies,
sworn positions added since FY 2014/15, and officers hired/separated from 2014 -2016 was
provided. Manager Carroll discussed the Sensis marketing campaign which was approved by the
City Council in June, 2016, and will launch in March, 2017.
ACTION:
Chairman Solorio: Acting City Manager Mouet, Police Chief Rojas, and the Sensis marketing
firm develop a goal for how many individuals the Police Department wants to hire this year.
Although the goal with Sensis was 65 from April, 2017 to April, 2018, convert that into a
calendar year goal. Also determine how many officers will be retiring after 50 so forecasting
between hiring and separations can be done.
13C -14
b. Homelessness Crisis (Discuss possible recommendations regarding pAbiic saf�ty';and
public health issues.) — Deputy Chief Valentin and Commander Ibarra {Strategic Plan
Goal No. 5,3d)
Commander Ruben Ibarra directed attention to the homelessness crisis and how it affects
visitors, businesses, community, homeless, and anyone in the city of Santa Ana. He
discussed the safe sleep program at the Courtyard and the H.E.A.R.T. Program
(Homeless Evaluation Assessment Response Team) which continues to focus on
providing services and resources to the homeless population, with an emphasis on mental
health training. The Police Department works with Public Works and Community
Development agencies on clean -up.
ACTION:
Vice Chair Villegas: Staff provide to this Committee information on how many sex
offenders are living in the Civic Center.
ACTION:
Chairman Solorio: City has declared this a public health crisis and some specific
recommendations came out of that declaration. Chairman Solorio would like to see a
combination of this presentation and these comments combined with the
recommendations and the outcomes from that initial hearing at the Council level. Bring
this issue back to a City Council meeting to report back on the progress being made as
well as to take additional comments and recommendations. Staff figure out how to
allocate the $300,000 be expended this fiscal year to address the homeless crisis.
Chairman Solorio: when the homelessness issue is brought back to City Council, invite
Supervisor Andrew Do and Homeless Czar Susan Price, and the Orange County
Employees' Association.
Chairman Solorio: want more information and open data shared on the Police
Department's website. Police Department staff work with IT to move forward with
these initiatives.
13C -15
Chairman Solorio directs Acting City Manager Monet to set up a follow -up meeting with
the City Attorney, the Police Chief, Councilmember Villegas and himself to set up some
legal angles to minimize the homelessness issue.
Vice Chair Villegas: requests that Staff provide how many calls for service at the
Courtyard and who responds. He wants it on record that Mayor Pulido was right when he
said that he didn't want to create the service center in that location because it would bring
a lot of people from outside.
Chairman Solorio: before the next Committee meeting, he wants to coordinate with
Acting City Manager Monet to see when we might have a presentation to the full Council
on the overall status of prior recommendations, thoughts and ideas that came out of this
meeting.
(Item 9 was taken out of order.)
9. Update and Possible Options Regarding Implementation of Measure BB — Deputy City
Manager Robert Cortez (Strategic Plan Goal No. 1, 1 c)
Deputy City Manager Robert Cortez delivered a power point presentation regarding a Measure
BB update and options going forward for the City. Manager Cortez briefs the Committee on the
history of Measure BB, when it received voter approval which made Santa Ana the first city in
Orange County to implement a medical marijuana program. A lottery was conducted and allows
20 permitted dispensaries. City Council approved a Medical Marijuana Task Force for
enforcement efforts. Manager Cortez explained adjustments that are being considered to the
Measure BB Ordinance, as well as options that require policy level consideration. Manager
Cortez provided highlights of industry priorities.
ACTION:
Chairman Solorio requests that this item be put on the Agenda on a regular basis. Encourage
regular scheduling and participating in the roundtable discussion with industry members to work
closely with stakeholders.
Vice Chair Villegas: have staff look into hiring more code enforcement officers. Villegas wants
it on the record, look into hiring more full time people to work on these dispensaries. Agrees
that there is a medical need, but the City needs to be responsible.
13C -16
7. Police Officer Body Cameras (Project update regarding the implementation timeline.) —
Sergeant Michael Gonzalez (Strategic Plan Goal No. 1, if and 3b)
Sergeant Mike Gonzalez provides an update on the body worn camera program. Sgt. Gonzalez
briefly touches on the RFP process, the vendor who has been chosen, and a pilot program
initiated in the Fall of 2016. He explains the Body Worn Camera plan of action and milestones
as it pertains to the training and implementation timeline. In addition, Sgt. Gonzalez provides
video footage of a body camera used by officers in Civic Center, and by gang detectives during a
vehicle search.
8. Integrated Software (Vendor: Tri Tech) — Deputy Chief Jim Schnabl and Police Systems
Manager Boris Duran (Strategic Plan Goal No. 1, 2a)
Deputy Chief Schnabl reviews a presentation given to the Public Safety Committee several years
ago which outlined problems the Police Department was facing regarding future growth and use
of technology. Deputy Chief Schnabl gives an overview of systems purchased back in the late
80's /early 90's which can no longer operate efficiently. Tri-Tech is the vendor of the new
Integrated Software, and the Department is focusing on the Records Management System with a
go -live date of November, 2017. The integrated software will allow better communication
between systems, move toward a paperless workflow, eliminate redundant data entry, is a cost -
savings and will provide more effective law enforcement to the community.
ACTION:
Chairman Solorio: wants Police staff to think about implementing an e -mail or text message
assigned to the person handling non - emergency calls in Communications. An e -mail can be
documented and have some clarity about what is being asked for.
10. Implementation of State Second Dwelling Unit Ordinance — Acton: Request direction
on whether to continue to implement State ordinance or adopt City standards — Executive
Director Hassan Haghani/Planning Manager Candida Neal {Strategic Plan No. 5,31
Executive Director of Planning and Building Agency Hassan Haghani gives an oral report
regarding granny flats and the new State law enacted on January I". Prior to that action,
Planning Manager Candida Neal, along with staff and the City's Attorney's Office created a
draft ordinance that completely complied with State law. Many people were opposed to it, yet
others wanted us to put rent control on these units. Public requirements on two far ends and staff
being so busy re- writing granny flats ordinance and zoning issues, it was decided to simply
implement the State ordinance as is until such time that the City Council gives direction.
Implement the State law and use City language as a guideline.
13C -17
ACTION:
Chairman Solorio: Staff will forward the State law, as well as the draft ordinance, to this
Committee for review.
A dialogue then continues regarding this item.
City Attorney Bogosian: Mr. Chairman, the action was to request direction on whether to
continue to implement the State Ordinance or adopt City standards so are the Committee
members tabling this action item for the next meeting?
Chairman Solorio responds that the Committee is not prepared today to say there are findings to
support specific criteria stating there is a current threat to health and safety with the granny flats.
Chairman Solorio directs Staff to review and consider that as a potential option. If there is in
fact some leeway in saying that findings may merit a moratorium, there is time to do additional
research to fine tune an existing ordinance. Today we are not making a formal recommendation
but I do expect the Acting City Manager, the City Attorney's Office and Planning & Building to
look at what might be necessary for a moratorium and what time is needed to do the studies.
City Attorney Bogosian: the recommendation to the City Attorney's Office is to table this item
to the Agenda on May 91h and the City will continue to implement the State law.
Recommendation:
Chairman Solorio suggests a city -wide parking needs assessment and parking management plan,
perhaps by an outside contractor. Villegas agrees that the City hire someone whose sole job is to
analyze the parking for the entire city and if a permit parking area can be implemented.
COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS
Vice Chair Villegas remarked that he was glad to have the meeting early rather than later. He
said that there are a lot of items to tackle and there may be additional meetings other than the
scheduled ones.
Chairman Solorio thanks the Chief, Acting City Manager, those who put together the
presentations, attendees and neighborhood leaders. Encourage the activity here and at regular
City Council meetings. Chairman Solorio asked if anyone has any suggestions for future
Agenda items, to e-mail them to the Committee. He said that it was an honor for
13C -18
Councilmember Villegas and me to be part of the first Public Safety, Code Enforcement and
Neighborhood Empowerment Council Committee Meeting.
