Report to approve, by motion, an extension of the Community Wellness Crisis Response Team Mental Health
Clinician co-response model beyond the two-year pilot program.(Perla Lopez-Madrid, Police Chief)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council continue the existing partnerships with Star Vista and the County of
San Mateo to maintain a dedicated Mental Health Clinician within the South San Francisco Police Department.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
South San Francisco is one of four police departments in San Mateo County who helped create and implement
the Community Wellness Crisis Response Team (CWCRT). The CWCRT program embedded a mental health
clinician within the police department who was responsible for handling calls for service where mental health
was a contributing factor. It is a co-response model where the clinician is dispatched to the same calls that
police officers are sent. The program benefits include faster access to mental health resources, alternative de-
escalation options, and crucial follow-up visits with clients. The two-year pilot program started in December of
2021 and will conclude on June 30, 2024, unless individual cities develop their own program. Due to the
program’s initial success, San Mateo County and Star Vista plans to expand the pilot program opportunity to
other cities within the county.
The police department maintains a public facing dashboard that illustrates the program’s data related to the call
types, most frequent clinician actions, sources of the call, day/time reported, and involved individual
characteristics. The dashboard promotes community trust via transparency and full access to the program’s
data. Preliminary analysis comparing 2022 to 2023 calendar years indicates the police department experienced
a 23.4% reduction in mental health incidents that resulted in the individual requiring hospitalization for
additional treatment. Since the program’s inception, the police department has also observed a decline in the
frequency of mental health related calls involving the same individuals. The program creates opportunities for
ongoing mental health training for law enforcement officers, strengthened partnerships between the police
department and other county agencies, and alternative outcomes for the individual.
During the two-year pilot program, our city shared the financial cost of the clinician’s salary and benefits with
the County of San Mateo. As of July 1, 2024, we will be responsible for the total cost of the mental health
clinician program for continued coverage in South San Francisco. The estimated cost to continue the CWCRT
program in South San Francisco is $256,000 annually, which includes salary/benefits, associated operational
costs, and equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Extending the Community Wellness Crisis Response Team will create an additional annual cost of $256,000.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Approving the extension of the Community Wellness Crisis Response Team meets Strategic Goal #3: Public
Safety by rendering skilled police, fire, and emergency service management.
CONCLUSION
Approving an extension of the Community Wellness Crisis Response Team allows the police department to
offer an alternative response option for calls involving a mental health crisis, provides individuals with faster
access to vital resources, and provides additional training to members of the police department.

Report to approve,by motion,a purchasing agreement with CDCE Incorporated,for thirty-five police mobile
computers in the amount not to exceed $204,299;and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement
(Naomi Lopez, Director of Information Technology)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve by motion authorizing the purchase of replacement
mobile computers for police patrol cars.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Police Department emergency communications system is a twenty-four hours per day,seven day per week
(24/7)mission-critical operation and is an essential service to delivering basic emergency services.Our police
officers,police service technicians and parking enforcement officers use mobile computers to communicate
with police dispatchers,and to query local,state and federal databases.Patrol officers utilize these databases in
the field using mobile in car computers.The existing equipment has been in place approximately eight years
and must be replaced due to its age and condition.
The Information Technology (IT)Department released a Request for Proposal (RFP)for replacement of thirty-
five in-car police car computers which was published on the City’s website and on the City bid site,
ProcureNow.Specifications for the computer equipment was included in the RFP along with less tangible
criteria such as maintenance services.Through ProcureNow,over 300 companies were notified of the RFP,only
four proposals were received. Below are the vendors and total cost breakdown:
Vendor Product Total Cost
CDCE Panasonic CF-33 $185,726
Stepford Getac A140 $186,397
HyperTec Direct Zebra ET85 $187,823
BMS Data911 $232,922
The IT Director,an IT Technician and Police Lieutenant reviewed the proposals and conducted interviews with
each vendor.CDCE,Stepford and BMS provided demo units which allowed police patrol to test their
equipment.Evaluations were not only based on price,but also on maintenance and support,durability,screen
display and feedback from other agencies who currently use the listed equipment.After several weeks of testing
and obtaining feedback from police patrol and other police agencies,the Information Technology Department
and South San Francisco Police staff decided on the Panasonic CF-33 provided by CDCE.The other vendors
lacked in the areas of public safety references, screen clarity, screen aspect ratio and competitive pricing.

The evaluators scored the following:
CDCE is qualified to provide the mobile computer equipment that will work with the City’s existing
communications network,records management software and with our new body camera and mobile access
video camera system.The Panasonic CF-33 is widely used in the public safety industry and were recently
awarded to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.
CDCE will be providing thirty-five Panasonic CF-33SZ044VM tablets,ruggedized iKey keyboards,GPS and
wireless WAN antennas, Havis port replicators with locks, and a five-year warranty.
The total cost with a 10% contingency for the equipment is $204,299.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this project is included in the Information Technology 2023-2024 budget and sufficient funds have
been allocated to cover the cost.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
This item is in line with the Strategic Plan Priority:Public Safety-Skilled Police,Fire,Emergency Medical
Service and Emergency Management.
CONCLUSION
Awarding the purchase contract to CDCE for Panasonic CF-33 allows for the timely replacement of the Police
Department’s mobile computer equipment.

Report to approve,by motion,awarding a construction contract to Gomez Construction,Inc.of South San
Francisco,California,for the Junipero Serra Boulevard and Westborough Boulevard Pedestrian and Bicycle
Connectivity and Safety Project in an amount not to exceed $185,500,742 and related actions.(Justin Gomez,
Public Works Director and City Engineer)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council adopt a resolution authorizing awarding a construction contract to
Gomez Construction,Inc.of South San Francisco,California,for the Junipero Serra Boulevard and
Westborough Boulevard Pedestrian and Bicycle Connectivity and Safety Project in an amount not to
exceed $185,500,742 authorizing a total construction budget of $213,325,853.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Junipero Serra Boulevard and Westborough Boulevard Pedestrian and Bicycle Connectivity and Safety Project:
The City of South San Francisco Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan,known as Active South City,identified
the project as one of its top eleven (11)priority projects in 2022.The existing conditions of the project site are
currently not aligned with Active South City for active transportation safety,comfort,and equitable mobility.
The Junipero Serra Boulevard and Westborough Boulevard corridors will be improved by providing elevated
bike and pedestrian skyways separate from vehicular traffic to ensure safety and low stress usage.Bicycling
and walking are affordable means of transportation for low-income and disadvantaged residents.Providing
access to active transportation allows added freedom and independence for youth and parents as well as for
some people who cannot drive and those who have chosen not to drive.Creating conditions where walking and
bicycling are accepted and encouraged increases a community's livability in ways that are difficult to measure
but should not be overlooked.
The project aligns with the TA's Strategic Plan,and fulfills one of the Guiding Principles of the City's General
Plan,which is to provide a safe,convenient,and accessible transportation network well-connected to the
region.It also takes a modern approach towards moving the most people possible,minimizing the traffic
impacts of regional growth, and investing in all modes of travel.
Award of Construction Contract:
The current Project falls under Procurement Type 1:Competitive Bidding for Construction Projects.Staff
advertised a notice inviting bids for the Project on January 29,2024,and staff received five (5)bid proposals in
response to the notice inviting bids.Staff reviewed all bid proposals and identified that the lowest responsive
and responsible bidder was Gomez Construction,Inc.of South San Francisco,California.Staff has verified the
low bidder’s current contractor’s license with the California State Licensing Board and found it to be in good
standing.
Following is a summary of all five (5) bids received:

3.A possible new revenue stream in order to help accommodate the increase in budget to the Centennial Way Trail
Master Plan.
The Centennial Way Trail has been a landmark of South San Francisco for 15+ years and while there is a current plan to
expand the amenities offered along the trail it fails to address the accessibility issues that the trail has faced for decades.
For years it was simply long strips of bike path with a few benches along the stretch. This plan hopes to help address this
issue by adding more benches, disability friendly restrooms, and water bottle refill stations periodically along the trail.
This will not only allow the trail to become a nicer place to be in the long stretches of beautiful scenery, but it will help to
allow more community members to enjoy the trail safely.
FISCAL IMPACT
This expansion will affect the budget meant for the project, but an additional revenue stream will help to cover this
change.
RELASHIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
This expansion is beneficial to the strategic plan because it will help to improve community satisfaction and will in turn
allow more community members to be more comfortable using the Trail and the public spaces associated with it.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that City Council adopt a resolution to the Centennial Way Trail Master Plan authorizing the addition
of public restrooms, benches, and water bottle refill stations along the Trail as it would allow for more community
members to use the Trail safely and comfortably, as well as improving the effectiveness of the Centennial Way Trail
Master Plan.

Report to approve,by motion,the new Rotary Building to replace Liberty Bank.(Luke Forcier,Economic
Community Development Director)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends beginning communication with the public about the new Liberty Bank developments
through an introduction of the plan and background on the new Rotary Building.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Currently at 500/522 Linden Avenue is the old Liberty Bank that shut down and moved out of town a while
ago.As a reminder,Rotary purchased the land and intends to build affordable housing in place of the old Bank
and the parking lot.The Rotary Club in South San Francisco has been responsible for other affordable housing
projects around the area,and they are interested in building a new one called Rotary Gardens.Their
development partner Beacon is based out of Seattle,and they specialize in modern construction Redevelopment
and seem to be in close partnership with Rotary to build new affordable housing.With Council approval the
City has also invested over $2 million to the development of these homes and are looking forward to this much
needed housing.
From the design it seems to be like their previous buildings that fit in with the rest of the general aesthetic of
the area.The buildings are tall with a beige coloring with concrete surrounding it.With a lobby at the bottom
of it then the apartments going above that to make the final building project.These renderings will be reviewed
by Planning staff and then to be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission for affordable housing
upscale Apartments.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fiscal impact on this project because the money is being taken out of the PLA funds and not
part of the general fund of the City.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that City Council approves the start of public outreach to communicate the vision of Rotary
Gardens.
