States. Modeled after 911, the new three-digit 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is designed to be a

crisis to a trained mental health professional; and
WHEREAS, the City of South San Francisco is proud to partner with StarVista, a non-
profit organization that has helped people throughout San Mateo County navigate life’s challenges
through counseling, crisis prevention, youth housing, and early childhood programs; and

Dated: September 13, 2023
IN RECOGNITION OF SEPTEMBER AS
NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH
WHEREAS, National Hispanic Heritage Month began as a way to promote the history,
culture, and contributions of Hispanic Americans – specifically those whose ancestors came from
Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America; and
WHEREAS, Hispanic Heritage Month started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under
President Lyndon B. Johnson and was expanded to cover a thirty-day period starting on September
15 and ending on October 15. Hispanic Heritage Month was enacted into law on August 17, 1988,
on the approval of Public Law 100-402; and
WHEREAS, the day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of
independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and
Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and
September 18 respectively; and
WHEREAS, this year’s theme is “Todos Somos, Somos, Uno: We Are All, We Are One,”
which acknowledges the differences each group brings to the table while encouraging communities
to stand as, “one community, one people, and one vision,” despite differences in their cultures,
skin colors, and points of view; and
WHEREAS, one in five, or sixty-two million Americans identify as Hispanic, making
Hispanics the largest ethnic minority. By the year 2060, 27.5% of America’s population will be
Hispanic; and
WHEREAS, Hispanic Americans have been integral to the prosperity of the United States.
As legislators, artists, judges, farmworkers, musicians, and activists, their contributions to the
nation are immeasurable, and they embody the best of American values; and
WHEREAS, Hispanic Americans have enhanced and shaped our national character with
centuries-old traditions that reflect the multi-ethnic and multicultural customs of their
communities, while adding their own distinct and dynamic perspectives to the story of our country.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of South San
Francisco does hereby recognize September as National Hispanic Heritage Month - a time to
reflect on the Hispanic American community and how it has left an indelible mark on the U.S.
culture and economy.

EN RECONOCIMIENTO DE SEPTIEMBRE COMO
El MES NACIONAL DE LA HERENCIA HISPANA
CONSIDERANDO QUE, el Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana comenzó como una
manera de promover la historia, la cultura y las contribuciones de los hispanoamericanos,
específicamente aquellos cuyos ancestros vinieron de España, México, el Caribe y América Central
y del Sur; y
CONSIDERANDO QUE, el Mes de la Herencia Hispana comenzó en 1968 como la
Semana de la Herencia Hispana bajo el presidente Lyndon B. Johnson y se amplió para cubrir un
período de treinta días comenzando el 15 de septiembre y terminando el 15 de octubre. El Mes de
la Herencia Hispana fue promulgado como ley el 17 de agosto de 1988, tras la aprobación de la
Ley Pública 100-402; y
CONSIDERANDO QUE, el día 15 de septiembre es significativo porque es el aniversario
de la independencia de los países latinoamericanos Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala,
Honduras y Nicaragua. Además, México y Chile celebran sus días de independencia el 16 y 18 de
septiembre respectivamente; y
CONSIDERANDO QUE, el tema de este año es "Todos Somos, Somos Uno: We Are All,
We Are One", que reconoce las diferencias que cada grupo contribuye y al mismo tiempo alienta
a las comunidades a permanecer como "una comunidad, un pueblo y una visión", a pesar de las
diferencias en sus culturas, colores de piel y puntos de vista; y
CONSIDERANDO QUE, uno de cada cinco, o sesenta y dos millones de estadounidenses
se identifican como hispanos, lo que convierte a los hispanos en la minoría étnica más grande.
Para el año 2060, el 27.5% de la población de Estados Unidos será hispana; y
CONSIDERANDO QUE, los hispanoamericanos han sido parte integral de la
prosperidad de los Estados Unidos. Como legisladores, artistas, jueces, agricultores, músicos y
activistas, sus contribuciones a la nación son inconmensurables y encarnan lo mejor de los valores
estadounidenses; y
CONSIDERANDO QUE, los hispanoamericanos han mejorado y moldeado nuestro
carácter nacional con tradiciones centenarias que reflejan las costumbres multiétnicas y
multiculturales de sus comunidades, al tiempo que agregan sus propias perspectivas distintas y
dinámicas a la historia de nuestro país.
AHORA, POR LO TANTO, SE RESUELVE que el Concejo Municipal de la Ciudad del
Sur de San Francisco reconozca septiembre como el Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana, un
momento para reflexionar sobre la comunidad hispanoamericana y cómo ha dejado una marca
indeleble en la cultura y la economía de los Estados Unidos.

Report regarding a resolution accepting $104,000 from the State of California,Office of Traffic Safety for the
“Selective Traffic Enforcement Program”(STEP)and amending Police Department 2023-24 Budget (Fahmida
Murphy, Police Lieutenant)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution accepting $104,000 from the State of
California,Office of Traffic Safety (OTS)for the “Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP)”to be used for
personnel overtime,equipment,and training expenses and amend the Police Department’s operating budget for
Fiscal Year 2023-2024 via approving Budget Amendment 24.009.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In January 2023,the Police Department submitted a grant application to the State of California Office of Traffic
Safety (OTS)for funding of personnel overtime,equipment,and training expenses for the Selective Traffic
Enforcement Program (STEP).The grant is administered by OTS with funding provided by the National Highway
Safety Administration (NHTSA).This program will supplement normal police staffing for traffic safety and
enforcement efforts.
The goal of the grant is to reduce the number of persons killed or injured in traffic collisions through the use of
the specific overtime-funded traffic enforcement directed at the following unsafe driving behaviors:driving under
the influence (DUI),speeding,red light running,traffic violations in and around high-collision-rate intersections,
traffic violations related to motorcycle safety,seat belt violations,child-seat restraint violations,distracted
driving, and repeat DUI offenders with suspended licenses.
The grant application was tentatively approved by OTS in July 2023 and the Police Department was awarded a
grant for $104,000.The operating period on the grant is from October 1,2023,through September 30,2024
(federal fiscal year).
This is the Police Department’s sixteenth year partnering with OTS to address traffic safety issues via grant
funding.During this sixteen-year period,the Police Department has received over $1.875 million in grant funding
through OTS.As a direct result of this funding,the Police Department has made 191 DUI arrests,139 criminal
arrests,issued over 5,000 speeding citations,issued citations to 260 drivers with suspended drivers licenses,and
cited over 800 unlicensed drivers.When comparing the years before receiving OTS grant funding to the years
after receiving the funding,the City realized a 38%decrease in fatal traffic collisions,a 21%decrease in alcohol-
involved injury traffic collisions, and a 44% decrease in speed-caused injury traffic collisions.
$101,900 of the overall grant funds is to pay for overtime salaries for Police Officers to conduct specialized traffic
safety enforcement throughout the City for the following operations:
·$30,800 for 8 DUI saturation patrols
·$22,900 for 2 DUI and driver’s license checkpoints
·$30,400 for 8 Traffic safety enforcement operations (speeding, red lights, etc.)
·$6,400 for 2 Distracted driver saturation patrols
·$3,200 for 1 Bicycle / pedestrian safety enforcement operation
·$3,200 for 1 Motorcycle Safety Enforcement Operations

Additional funding in the grant pays for the following:
·$2,000 for travel and/or training expenses that support the goals and objectives of the grant
·$700 for purchase of two child safety seats for officers to use on calls for service
FISCAL IMPACT
This program will require Council appropriation of $104,000 for Fiscal Year 2023-24 per budget amendment
24.009.This grant will support the personnel overtime,training,and equipment expenses.The funding source of
$104,000 is granted by State of California Office of Traffic Safety.

Safety “Selective Traffic Enforcement Program”and amend the Police Department’s operating budget for Fiscal
Year 2023-2024 by approving Budget Amendment 24.009.

Report regarding a resolution approving a one-time $10,000 contribution to the Community Overcoming
Relationship Abuse non-profit (CORA)to offer SPEAK UP,a County-wide education and training pilot
campaign in South San Francisco.(Sharon Ranals, City Manager)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing a one-time $10,000 contribution to
the Community Overcoming Relationship Abuse non-profit (CORA)to offer Speak Up,a county-wide
education and training pilot campaign in South San Francisco.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Following the gruesome murder of a young wife and mother in September of 2022,CORA and the City of San
Carlos launched a pilot program called SPEAK UP.The campaign educates community members through
outreach to local businesses so that anyone experiencing intimate partner abuse is offered a safe path to seek
help.From nail and beauty salons to dental offices and fitness gyms,local businesses have contact with
community members who may be at risk.The SPEAK UP training gives employees in both small and large
businesses quick tools to spot intimate partner abuse and offer resources.The City of San Carlos supported the
development and piloting of the program and believes that it has the potential to save lives.The City of San
Carlos has worked with CORA to devise a strategy to share the training with other cities in San Mateo County.
By signing on to be a SPEAK UP partner, South San Francisco will receive:
·270 -300 outreach touches to business and community partners including a collection of resource
materials;
·60 presentations,each 15 minutes long,offered in person or on zoom,with language access provided by
CORA as needed;
·Certificates to post that show the business or organization receiving the training is a part of SPEAK UP;
·Two City employee presentations;
·Acknowledgement of South San Francisco’s partnership on the CORA website;
·South San Francisco to be named in public service announcements for County-wide messaging during
Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM)during the month of October.The campaign will occur
over a 3-month period.
The pilot program will be evaluated by CORA,and if it is successful and well-received by those receiving the
training,the program may be continued in the future.However,the $10,000 contribution is for the pilot
program, and the City will have the opportunity to renew participation in future years.
It should be noted that the City has separately allocated $21,500 from CDBG funds to CORA for fiscal year
23/24.This funding supports emergency shelter for South San Francisco residents who have experienced
domestic violence. The emergency shelter program and funding is separate from the SPEAK UP training.

public safety and improving the quality of life for residents.
CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing a one-time $10,000 contribution to
the Community Overcoming Relationship Abuse non-profit (CORA)to offer Speak Up,a county-wide
education and training pilot campaign in South San Francisco in 2023/24.

Report regarding a resolution authorizing a second amendment to the minor construction agreement with Dekra
-Lite,expanding the City’s holiday decorations program by $55,000 to an amount not to exceed $551,187.01.
(Katie Donner, Management Analyst I)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a
second amendment to the minor construction agreement with Dekra-Lite,expanding the City’s holiday
decorations program by $55,000 to a total amount not to exceed $551,187.01.
BACKGROUND
For years,the City had contracted with a local company to install holiday decorations (namely wreaths and
bows)throughout downtown South San Francisco.With guidance from the Ad-Hoc Holiday Decorations
Subcommittee of the City Council,staff issued a request for proposals for new holiday decorations vendors,
with the intention of expanding the City’s holiday decorations to public facilities throughout the City,in
addition to installing wreaths and bows in the downtown.Staff recommended Dekra-Lite to City Council as the
City’s new holiday decorations vendor.
In June 2021,City Council adopted Resolution 114-2021 approving a four-year contract with Dekra-Lite for
$425,460 to purchase new decorations,install and deinstall them annually,clean and maintain them,and then
store for the following year.This four-year contract included using the City’s 105 wreaths adorned with bows
and purchasing new decorations for installation at Westborough Park,Orange Memorial Park,Buri Buri Park,
the Municipal Services Building, and City Hall.
In June 2022,City Council adopted Resolution 104-2022 approving an additional $76,000 for the holiday
decorations budget to add additional decorations at Buri Buri Park and the Economic Advancement Center.
Ultimately,a first amendment to the minor construction agreement with Dekra-Lite was executed in the amount
of $70,727.01, bringing the total not to exceed budget for the four-year contract to $496,187.01.
DISCUSSION
In February and August 2023,the Holiday Decorations Subcommittee met with staff to discuss reallocating
holiday decorations from buildings that will be under construction or no longer be occupied at year’s end,as
well as new City facilities that could benefit from holiday decorations installation.Specifically,due to the
closure of the Municipal Services Building and a temporary closure of a portion of Orange Memorial Park due
to pool construction, decorations previously programmed at these facilities required a new, temporary home.
Staff worked with Dekra-Lite to prepare options for Subcommittee consideration reusing previously purchased
decorations.This would be a clean swap-out and therefore has no budget impact.As illustrated in Attachment 1,
the new proposed locations are the new baseball fields at Orange Memorial Park,the Grand Avenue Library,
and the Breezeway on Grand Avenue (between Fil-Am and Starbucks).
Additionally,the Subcommittee directed staff to research options for decorations at the new Police Station and
Library |Parks and Recreation Center.These decorations,illustrated in Attachment 2,are anticipated to costCity of South San Francisco Printed on 9/8/2023Page 1 of 2

Library |Parks and Recreation Center.These decorations,illustrated in Attachment 2,are anticipated to cost
$40,000 this fiscal year -to purchase the new decorations and install them -and $15,000 next fiscal year for the
annual maintenance,storage,and installation.The addition of this scope necessitates a second amendment to
the professional services agreement with Dekra-Lite.
Although the amount of the contract amendment is within the City Manager’s spending authority and no budget
amendment is necessary,staff is bringing the proposed amendment and scope of work to City Council for
approval so that Council can consider the Subcommittee’s recommendations.
FISCAL IMPACT
At this time,staff does not anticipate any additional impact to the General Fund associated with approving this
second amendment.At present,the Economic &Community Development Department anticipates being able
to accommodate the $40,000 additional cost in FY 23-24 within its operating budget,as well as the additional
$15,000 in FY 24-25.
RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
These holiday decorations meet the City’s strategic planning goal #6, Community Connections.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a second
amendment to the minor construction agreement with Dekra-Lite,expanding the City’s holiday decorations
program by $55,000 to a total amount not to exceed $551,187.01.
