HomeMy WebLinkAboutITEMS DISTRIBUTEDAgenda Item Correction to Reviewed: City Manager AGENDA REPORT Finance Director MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 4, 2018 TO: JEFFREY C. PARKER, CITY MANAGER FROM: MATT WEST, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER DAVID KENDIG, CITY ATTORNEY SUBJECT: CORRECTION; DISCUSSION OF SENATE BILL 54 AND PROPOSITION 47 There is a typographic error in the staff report regarding the above -referenced item. The reference to the increase in Part 1 Crimes after implementation of Proposition 47 should state that there were 2,401 Part 1 Crimes reported, not 2,041. With that correction, the first full paragraph on the third page of the staff report will read as follows: "In the three years prior to the implementation of Proposition 47 (from 2012-2014), Tustin averaged 2,079 Part 1 Crimes reported per year. In the three years after implementation of Proposition 47 (during which many criminal sentences were reduced from felonies to misdemeanors) (2015-2017) Tustin averaged 2,401 Part 1 Crimes reported each year, reflecting a 15.5% increase in Part 1 Crimes reported since the implementation of Proposition 47." 1340658.2 Building Industry Association of Southern California, Inc. .*6 ORANGE COUNTY CHAPTER BIR September 4, 2018 Mayor Al Murray City of Tustin 3000 Centennial Way Tustin, CA 92780 Re: Item 17 — Second Reading of the Tustin Inclusionary Zoning — Oppose Dear Mayor Murray, On behalf of the Building Industry Association of Orange County, I write to oppose Item 17: The Inclusionary Zoning Housing Tax. As you recall from all prior hearings, the Business and Development Community stand together in opposition to this taxation on housing, regardless of its moniker. Since the first hearing in February, we have outlined how this proposal is self-defeating. Inclusionary Zoning increases the cost of housing with a disproportionately small benefit to a select handful of individuals. As a City Government, it is incumbent upon you to serve the best interests of the entire community at -large. This ordinance will not help increase housing supply and as such, will not serve to achieve your desired outcome. Further, there was a time in this process where the BIA had nearly reached an agreement with the City. In contrast to that time, the current language creates a complicated process that will only further entangle government regulation into the development of new homes. Finally, the City asked for alternatives and the BIA provided them. Case -in -point, the City of Anaheim worked with homebuilders, hosted roundtable discussions and created a comprehensive, incentive -based approach to affordable home development, moving away from governmental intervention into the private market. There is no reason Tustin couldn't follow suit and we are happy to work with you to achieve this. Again, we ask for a NO vote on Inclusionary Zoning. This is not the path forward for Tustin.

Tustin City Council Members, I am a long-time resident of Tustin and serve as the deacon at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Tustin. I understand that you are considering an opt out of the California Values Act (S1354). I know that this is an emotional issue and that you are facing a difficult decision. As a member of the clergy who is deeply involved in issues around immigration, I urge you to consider maintaining the current status provided by S1354. The fear among documented and undocumented immigrants has grown exponentially over the last year. Residents who have been in this country for many years and have raised families here are being picked up and detained, sometimes for months. Families are experiencing long term trauma and a loss of income. I have been in the detention centers and know of their suffering. Understandably, fear is at a heightened level now. I hear story after story of immigrants who are afraid to go out of their homes or take the bus to work. The people in question are our neighbors. That is the compassion side of the debate. I believe that there is also a practical side that is important for public safety. Opting out of the SB54 would mean that our local law enforcement would be required to work ICE. I can assure you that immigrant families and individuals will think twice about contacting police over safety issues or when witnessing a crime. We have a fine police force in Tustin. They do their job well. I believed that it is important for the safety of everyone that they are able to continue the good work that they do. I have attached two documents which briefly outline SB54 and a letter to the governor and legislators signed by law professors throughout the country who support the law. I pray that you will consider keeping S1354.

Protect Compassion & Community and SB54 Dear Mayor Murray, I have met you in passing over the years(at fundraisers and philanthropic events as well as when my husband was honored at the Chamber of Commerce). You have always been kind and receptive to people; this is appreciated. I love Tustin. I gave a short testimony at the last council meeting about my connection to this community. I was shocked when I found out Tustin has made a statement opposing the California Values Act, especially when I know this community so well. I know it was not formalized, but when it was put on the agenda for Tuesday's meeting, I had hoped, especially with the law suit Jeff Sessions had filed was thrown out, that Tustin would not involve itself with this opposition that often times is hate driven. I myself, upon leaving the meeting, was harassed by the opposition to SB54. I am a white, pregnant legal citizen, and it only made me more sensitive to the implications of our city formally opposing SB54; it truly may only feed the hate and fear of anti -immigrant and "other' sentiment. I plead with you, on behalf of my family, my community, my faith, and as a leader of the Tustin Coalition for Compassion, please reconsider your stance on SB54. This is a chance to stand on the side of compassion, of understanding, of sound policy, and in opposition to fear -mongering. At the least, consider the fiscal implications if Tustin is sued like Los Alamitos. I think we could both agree we have such better things to focus on in this great community.

My children have all been through TUSD schools, and are all in the 20s now. I would like to express my heartfelt support for S1354. I hope that the elected officials in Tustin also share the belief that immigrants are welcome here. They pay taxes, build their families, and seek a better life than they could expect to have in their countries of origin. We should not be punishing them. There is a need to create a path to citizenship for many immigrants here illegally. But, punishing them and allowing ICE to run over our own PD is not the answer. We must hold our elected officials accountable. We expect all of you to follow the states mandate and NOT seek to join the lawsuit some other cities have. Please do what is just and right. We are watching. We will be at the upcoming meeting to support your decision to continue to support S1354.

Please do not give in to the bullying from hateful outside agitators. We are a beautiful and diverse city—that is a large part of why I live here. Voting not to support S1354—even though it is the law in California—will send a message to our immigrant community that Tustin is not an inclusive and welcoming community. Is that really the message you want to send to the majority of our city's residents? We are better than this. Tustin is better than this. Please remove this item from consideration—or if it must come before the council, tell the haters to go home and then vote no on this misguided resolution.

While I appreciate the support of everyone in Tustin, I feel so strongly about Tustin remaining a city of compassion and supporting SB 54 that I could not in good conscience choose to open my next planned venture (The Lost Collective) in Tustin if the council chooses to withdraw our city's support for sanctuary, compassion and hope for all members of our community.

Sandra Benson Blankenhorn, Regina From: Sent: Friday, August 31, 2018 8:01 AM To: CITY COUNCIL Subject: Please Support SB54 Dear Mayor and Council Members, I write again this morning urging and praying you all have a change of heart and mind and choose to not withdraw from state support of the California Values Act, SB54. Orange County(and now Tustin) has been deliberately chosen to make a statement that we, like some others in our country currently, don't have a place for immigrants, be them legal or not. We are a kind city, we are a good city, we are a unique community that people choose to raise their family and start their business in. We are not a city that should be an example of outing the other. I write one last time today wearing multiple hats, and hoping to show you the many perspectives of why I hope you all choose to vote in Support(or at the very least abstain) SB54 this coming Tuesday. I support SB54 as a -parent. My children attend preschool here in Tustin. I want them to continue to be a part of community that does not perpetuate fear or hate or anxiety for the marginalized. I want them to be proud this is where they are from. Currently we pay for preschool in the city, and I myself am a graduate of all public schools here as well as UCLA, and I believe in the public school institution. I hope to continue to support TUSD with their future attendance and by supporting as a local business who donates when we asked. -friend. I know many people who came to this country to flee persecution and hardships from their homeland. No one wants to come here illegally. I know people who are opposed to sanctuary yet have a nanny, house cleaner, gardener, employee, friend, neighbor who would be a potential victim if you all choose to opt out of SB54. I cannot I'm good heart and faith indifferent to this. -a person of faith. I was raised in a very ethically diverse Catholic Church down the street. I remember the ICE raids of the 80s, and the attrition and strife that occurred. Kind, good people were deported and separated from their family, their only local crime being that they were seeking a day job on the corner of Chapman and Hewes. I understand the complexity of federal law, but I do not think community needs to step into the shoes of ICE. I also took the Matthew 25 pledge 2 years ago and I believe as a Christian it is my duty to stand with the oppressed and marginalized. Not in rhetoric alone, but in civic engagement. My current church of the past ten years, Trinity United, is not diverse like what I was raised in. But my roots of social justice in Christ are firm. -daughter of an immigrant. My mother loved her adopted homeland and instilled a love and respect in her children. She was fortunate to be legal, but her accent early on, and her push to assimilate gave her an empathy for other newcomers that she shared with her children. -business owner. Together my family owns 5 businesses in Tustin. We have collectively for over 35 years. I'm proud to have a business here, and I intentionally do my best to shop and eat locally. When I heard the decision that Los Alamitos made my husband and I looked at each other and said we would not do any commerce in that city. We would never in good faith send a friend or employee to that city to do business. If anyone would fear being ticketed and then possibly deported, then we too have no right to be there. -fellow human citizen. I know I am privileged. Although I grew up with many hardships, I am a Caucasian, Christian, heterosexual, formally educated women. I have full access to programs, loans, society. I have traveled the world freely and without fear. I have security that not everyone knows. I believe we cannot be privileged and not serve or stand up for those who are less so. If I am not the bridge, who can I expect to be? I have read about the anxiety levels that have risen for children of illegal immigrants over the past couple years. People afraid to sign up for school programs, for health benefits, because they fear they or their parents or children may be deported. People afraid to be harassed because they simply look different. I heard it at the last meeting in Tustin and was shocked; a women stating Foothill didn't look the same as when she attended. I could only read between the lines that it had more darker complected kids then before. Another said she saw graffiti on million dollar homes, assuming it was an illegal immigrant that perpetrated that crime. In fact every bit of crime committed was attributed to people who should be "deported." No facts to back these assumptions up. Is this what we call progress? This cannot happen under our watch, in my opinion. I pray you thoughtfully consider this vote next Tuesday. Even the recommendation of the city attorney and manager stated under SB54 the city of Tustin is safer, yet they ultimately recommended opposition. Please make this a vote of conscience, not of partisan politics. Let Tustin remain a community of compassion and inclusivity. You will not be letting criminals roam the street, but instead letting community programs do their job and letting ICE do its job. You will be voting to stand with support of the California Values so many of your constituents support. Please support SB54. We will stand with you too.

Council Member Charles E. Puckett Council Member Letitia Clark AUG 3 1 2018 From: Steve Serra Mission Viejo, CA Date: August 31, 2018 TUST lid L PIK") Re: Information Pertaining to the Sanctuary State Issue Before the Tustin City Council I would like to present to you a document relevant to Agenda Item 16 for the September 4 City Council meeting. There have been two predominant arguments advanced earlier this year in opposition to the new state sanctuary law, SB 54. It has been asserted that the law is unconstitutional under the Supremacy Clause for being in conflict with federal immigration law, and it has been asserted that the law endangers public safety in that it shields from federal immigration authorities inmates being released who might otherwise be subject to deportation. In the latter case, the argument was necessarily speculative, as the government had, as yet, no knowledge respecting the actual effects of the new law. Now, however, there is some concrete evidence of the actual effect of the law. In a June 14, 2018 Media Release, the Orange County Sheriff's Department revealed the early results of the new sanctuary state law mandates: In SB 54's first five months (January -May 2018), the department released 316 inmates with ICE detainers to ICE custody, and it released from custody 414 inmates with ICE detainers whom it did not turn over to ICE due to SB 54 protections accorded to unauthorized aliens. Of the 414 who were released, 45 of them have already been rearrested by the sheriff s department, on 80 charges. In the sanctuary state law's first five months, then, 11% of the inmates that ICE wanted to take directly into custody but who were shielded from ICE action due to sanctuary state protections have already been rearrested. Among the 80 charges are 2 attempted murders, 1 kidnap for sex crimes, 1 child abduction, 3 assault and batteries, 1 robbery, 4 spousal batteries, 4 assaults with a deadly weapon, 5 DUIs, 1 DUI causing injury, 1 cruelty to child/child endangerment, 2 hit/runs, 1 hit/run causing injury, and 21 possessions of drugs/drug paraphernalia. 2 The sheriff s Media Release said, "On average, the 45 individuals were out of custody for 41 days, with one individual who had been out of custody just two days when he was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder," The release noted that the 45 individuals represented only crimes committed in Orange County and only bookings into Orange County jail; it is possible that persons released have been arrested in other jurisdictions. The release said that SB 54 provides sheriffs with discretion to respond to ICE requests for notification of pending releases of specified serious offenders, and the OCSD fully exercises that discretion. In the five-month period, all 316 inmates who were reportable to ICE were released to ICE custody. So the OCSD is denying to ICE only the cooperation that SB 54 forbids. Per the Media Release, SB 54 put an end to the OCSD's participation in the federal 287(g) program, under which all inmates were screened for their immigration status and where appropriate had detainers placed on them. The 287(g) program "resulted in the identification of dangerous individuals not previously on the radar of the federal government." As mentioned, the OCSD released 414 inmates that ICE wanted, and let ICE take 316. The total number of ICE detainers, then, was 730. (This 730 number for total detainers, and the 11% number for those rearrested, are my calculations.) I have attached a copy of the Orange County Sheriff s Department's June 14, 2018 Media Release containing the sanctuary -effected release and re -arrest numbers. The document is still available at the sheriff s website at the Latest News & Highlights page, using "view archives" and going back to the June 14, 2018 date. Statistics like these may be very useful in the fight to protect the public from the effects of SB 54 and other sanctuary state legislation. I recommend that your resolution opposing SB 54 include a request that the sheriff publish statistics every six months (after the end of June and after the end of December) like those the department published on June 14. On July 27, I spoke with Undersheriff Don Barnes about the possibility of periodic release of the kind of sanctuary state statistics that OCSD released on June 14, and I got the impression that the OCSD has no particular plans to release such statistics in the future. Steve Serra Mission Viejo �Af PopORANGE COUNTY S SANTA ANA, CA 92703 SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT74-647-7000 WWW.00SD.ORG " SHERIFF-CORONER SANDRA HUTCHENS NEWS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Public Information Manager Carrie Braun W: 714-647-7042 C: 714-904-7042 Senate Bill 54 results in release of 414 criminals, 45 have re -offended in OC SANTA ANA, Ca. (June 14, 2018) - California Senate Bill 54, which took effect on January 1, 2018, placed restrictions on collaboration between local custody operations and federal law enforcement authorities. These communication restrictions have resulted in 45 criminals with federal detainers re -offending following their release back into the community. The restrictions in SB54 prohibits the Orange County Sheriff's Department (OCSD) from notifying ICE of the pending release of certain undocumented offenders with federal detainers. From January 1, 2018 to May 31, 2018, 414 individuals with ICE detainers have been released due to the fact that their charges or convictions did not rise to the level of crime authorized for communication under SB 54 and the TRUST Act. Of those 414 offenders, 45 individuals have been re -arrested for a variety of crimes including drug charges, driving under the influence (DUI), theft, child abduction for sex crimes, spousal battery, assault with a deadly weapon, and attempted murder. "SB54 provided the opportunity for criminals to be released back into the communities they continue to prey upon," said Undersheriff Don Barnes of the Orange County Sheriff's Department. "Open communication amongst law enforcement at the local, state and federal level is a widely accepted public safety best practice. We must be able to communicate with our law enforcement partners on issues of public safety. Failure to do so endangers our community." On average, the 45 individuals were out of custody for 41 days, with one individual who had been out of custody just two days when he was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder. It is important to note that the 45 individuals identified only represent crimes committed in Orange County and who were booked into the Orange County Jail. It is entirely possible that others released committed crimes in other jurisdictions. Below is an outline of all charges for the 45 individuals. Note that many individuals were charged with more than one crime, so the total number of charges is higher than 45. 2 Attempted murder 1 Kidnap for sex crimes 1 Child abduction 3 Assault and battery 4 Spousal battery 4 Assault with a deadly weapon 1 DUI causing injury 5 DUI 1 Robbery 1 Cruelty to child/child endangerment ORANGE COUNTY 5SANTAAONA,CA STREET 703 5 SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT W WW.OSD.

Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens has chosen to fully exercise that discretion. From January 1, 2018 to May 31, 2018, 316 inmates who fell within the provision were released to ICE custody. Unfortunately this number only represents 43 percent of inmates with ICE detainers. Additionally the law resulted in ending OCSD's participation in the federal 287(g) program. Under this program, OCSD deputies were trained to screen all inmates for their immigration status and place detainers on undocumented offenders. This program resulted in the identification of dangerous individuals not previously on the radar of the federal government. The Orange County Sheriff's Department wants to remind the community that our cooperation with ICE occurs only within a custody setting. Our deputies who patrol the community do not, and never will, enforce immigration law when interacting with the community on the street, responding to a call for service or assisting a victim. All criminal offenders, including those who are undocumented, will be held accountable to the utmost extent of the law. "We need the community to be co -producers of their own safety," said Undersheriff Barnes. "We have an obligation to protect all the residents of Orange County, regardless of their citizenship status. The only way we can continue to remain one of the safest counties in the nation is to have individuals tell us when crime is occurring in your neighborhood. Do not allow the false narrative that deputies will enforce immigration law within our communities stop you from reporting crime."

There is too much divisiveness and hatred in this world and especially right now in the United States. Tustin needs to step up and support peaceful resolutions. Using John McCain's words, "We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all corners of the globe. We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been." After all, this country was built by immigrants and if there had not been any immigrants we would not have become a United States of America. Sincerely H.

It is my hope and prayer that your actions will welcome immigrants who want to live, work and study in Tustin. Immigrants in this community take ESL and Citizenship Preparation classes, computer and basic education courses at Tustin Adult School, where, in the past twenty years, I have been working as an ESL/Citizenship and high-school subjects teacher. Students come from Asia, Africa, Central and South America as well as Europe and the Middle East. In addition to impressive academic progress, many long-lasting friendships create a network with demonstrable benefits to our community. All of us have learned a lot from the classes and especially from each other. Most immigrants want to live here to be near their family members. Parents emphasize that in the U.S. there are better opportunities for their children's education and their family's future. Over the years, I have met people, from places like Syria, who have lost property and freedom and want to stay here for their safety. My students reach their ambitious goals, working at jobs and studying in school with impressive motivation and admirable energy. In the last year and a half, many immigrants in my classes, even if they are legal permanent residents, talk about their high level of stress. Obtaining citizenship has become more and more difficult due to the stated requirements of English fluency and knowledge of U.S. government and history, but especially because of the discretionary power of interviewers, some of whom seem unduly harsh in their interpretation of an applicant's worthiness. ICE has increased its presence in our local area, doing sweeps that terrorize authorized as well as non -authorized immigrants. Many fear the possibility of coming home to learn about a family member or friend detained or deported. News stories of children in cages cause all people, citizens or not, to wonder what our country's "liberty and justice" creed actually means. I know you care about Tustin and want to serve its people. Please make Tustin a city of inclusion, a place where people can be educated with confidence that our local government values and protects the dignity of every resident. Please keep Tustin a sanctuary city.

With your support of SB 54, we can announce to the Country that Tustin is against the anti -immigrant movement in our country. Sanctuary status allows the entire population of a city, including the immigrant populations, to depend on law enforcement rather than fear it. We would like our local resources to be spent protecting the ENTIRE population within our community, including our neighbors who do not have a path to citizenship. Sanctuary status does not prevent our city from coordinating with the FBI regarding violent crimes and drug deals. It DOES prevent our local law enforcement from using resources for ICE access programs that lead to the deportation of our hard-working community members who came to the U.S. for the chance to help their families. These are our neighbors. The pressures from hate groups outside of Tustin are influencing this vote and working to build a divide within our city based upon fear of immigrants. As you know, between one third and one half of our community are first generation immigrants. The community of Tustin is built upon relationship and a small town feeling. We are not characterized by fear and hate, nor do we want to shift to a fear -based norm. It is our choice, and you as the voice of the City, to decide if we join the epidemic of fear - based living that is spreading across our country like a contagious debilitating disease. Please vote to protect those who live in Tustin, ALL who live in Tustin. My husband and I will be at tonight's meeting with our two young sons, well past their bedtime in order to love one's neighbors and protect those without a voice within our community. Thank you for taking the time to read this. We thank you in advance for being the voice of the entire City in tonight's vote.

That is unconstitutional. And I have no desire to live in a sanctuary city. Frances Lacasse, September 2, 2018 Dear Chuck, I know the Tustin City Council will be voting about staying a sanctuary city on Tuesday. I certainly hope and pray that will be a positive vote. Thousands of immigrants in the Tustin area have participated in ESL and citizenship preparation classes at St. Paul's Episcopal Church on Wass Ave. I had the privilege of teaching the citizenship preparation classes for a number of years. The hardest part of learning a new language is speaking and so in addition to teaching about our history and government, the students were asked to talk with our class about their home country, why they came here, their food, culture and life style, etc. Students were from Asia, Africa, South America and Europe and we all learned a lot from each other. The number one reason that most of them came here is so they could live with family members. The second reason was some of them had experienced persecution and loss of property from their homeland government and they came here for safety reasons. We helped them learn important basic things like how to make a doctor's appointment and what to say to the doctor or nurse. We asked what they needed help with. Never was there a request from the hundreds of students I worked with to receive welfare or any government assistance. I taught and was an administrator for over thirty years in the Garden Grove Unified School District, home to a large number of immigrants. I have remained friends with a number of teachers and administrators in GGUSD. They have reported that many of the immigrant students have been living in a nightmare situation during the last year and a half. They are so scared that one or both or their parents are going to be deported and they will be separated from them. Their high stress level is readily apparent and they share their fears with their teachers. ICE has always arrested and deported immigrants here who have committed crimes as they should. But the changes in recent times is people who have lived here for many years and had a minor problem like an accident years ago, are being arrested and deported. Some haven't committed any crimes but are being falsely accused. Although this may sound impossible to believe, we just have to remember how immigrant infants, children and teens have been separated from their parents and placed in cage -like structures with no system of tracking family members. I know you are a good Christian man. This vote is a "what would Jesus do" moment. It was simple what Jesus did and profound. He loved everyone and reached out to help those who needed it.

We all have friends and neighbors who are themselves and/or have family members who are undocumented, and are living with constant apprehension and fear of the possibility of deportation. These are good people, hard working, who are here with the hopes of making better lives for themselves and their families, and some are in very real danger should they return to their countries of origin. The city of Tustin, the police department of Tustin, should not be in the position of rounding up or handing over people to the federal government because of their immigration status. I am sure the Tustin Police Department, in their desire to "provide the highest level of police services to a dynamic and diverse Tustin" would appreciate good communication and a trusting relationship with all our residents. As a long-time resident here, and as a person of faith, I hope and pray that you will make a just decision tonight, one that will best serve our diverse community.
