MAY 3, 2022
STAFF REPORT
CONSENT
ITEM NUMBER: 10.
TITLE
AB 481 Military Equipment Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION
Waive second reading, read by /tle only, and adopt an Ordinance establishing a Military Equipment Use Policy Pursuant to AB 481 for the American Canyon Police Department.
CONTACT
Rick Greenberg, Chief of Police
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Assembly Bill Number 481 (AB 481), codified at Government Code sec/ons 7070 through 7075, requires the American Canyon Police Department (ACPD) to obtain approval from City Council of its military equipment use policy by ordinance by April 30, 2022, in order to con/nue the use of this previously acquired equipment effective May 1, 2022.
The term “military equipment”, as used in AB 481, does not necessarily indicate equipment used by the military. Items deemed to be “military equipment” include, but are not limited to, unmanned aerial or ground vehicles, armored vehicles, command and control vehicles, pepper balls, less lethal shotguns, less lethal 40mm projec/le launchers, long range acous/c devices, and flashbangs. The list of items considered “military equipment” by AB 481 are employed by many law enforcement agencies across the country as best practices to enhance citizen and officer safety.
Provided as an a?achment is the inventory list of military equipment that the Napa County Sheriff Department (NSD) maintains. Also a?ached is the ACPD and NSD’s military Equipment use policy.
The use of the military equipment iden/fied on the inventory list is vital to ACPD’s mission and will continue to be strictly regulated through internal processes and oversight.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Public Safety: "Ensure American Canyon remains a safe community."
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the current equipment is included in the exis/ng contract with the Napa County Sheriff 16 Department.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
None.

Considerations:
The AB481-reportable equipment inventory sheets contained within this document were compiled near year-end 2021 and new-year 2022.
With respect to costs, funding, annual upkeep expenses and estimated effective lifespan, every effort has been made to be as accurate as possible while at the same time acknowledging that many factors directly affecting those aforementioned values are unpredictable.
Costs associated with the following items represent the best estimates at the time this document was prepared. Many of these items are not purchased from manufacturers, but from dealers, who adjust costs in accordance with market factors beyond the predictive abilities or control of Napa SO.
Due to the unpredictable nature of the law enforcement profession, many of the item estimated upkeep costs and effective lifespans are best estimates and may vary greatly on a year-to-year basis, due to the availability of training, type of operational incidents or other factors.
“Annual Allocation” refers to the quantity needed “on hand” over the course of a calendar year to meet all reasonably-anticipated operational and training needs. Some items may be carried over in inventory year to year depending on operational/training tempo.
With respect to terminology, “expendable equipment” items are items that typically have a one-time use and then cannot be used again, such as chemical agents or smoke grenades.
In an effort to be as efficient as possible, many items, both “expendable” and otherwise have operational applications across a diverse set of the Sheriff’s Office missions. For example, “40mm launcher (single and multi-shot capability)” is an item that is utilized by Patrol, SWAT, Mobile Field Force and other auxiliary assignments. The cost and unit allocation estimates that state “across all divisions” represents the best estimation of the requirements for those items to fill all needs for the Sheriff’s Office.
Additionally, there are costs for non-AB481 equipment that are intrinsically tied to the costs for the following items. For example, slings, carrying cases, magazines, sighting systems, flashlights, cleaning supplies, batteries and other non-AB481 reportable items are not included in the cost estimations, unit allocation or upkeep portions of this report. 19 N

Commitment to
Community
It should also be noted that the legislature has designated these items as “military equipment”. While the military may use some of the same equipment, the Sheriff’s Office (SO) deems all of this equipment as law enforcement equipment. Much the same as the military using handcuffs, there are items in common. The manner and reason they are used is significantly different.
For many years, this office has also displayed and offered education about our equipment and why we use it. The vast majority of equipment on this list was approved for funding through the County of Napa. From our Citizen’s Academy to National Night Out, we have always been open for discussion and education.

William D. Ross, City Attorney
Erica Smithies, Public Works Director
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
In California, a subdivision map is required whenever land is proposed to be divided for sale. RH Hess Development Company (“Applicant”) owns certain real property comprised of approximately
20.8 acres on two parcels (Parcel A and Parcel B) and located southwest of the Napa Junc+on Road and Hess Road intersec+on known as Oat Hill in the City of American Canyon, California (APNs 058- 380-008 and 058-320-001) (the “Property”),
On September 21, 2021, City Council adopted Resolu+on No. 2021-78 to approve a Tenta+ve Subdivision Map for 206 condominium mul+family residen+al units on a 13.6-acre Oat Hill Parcel A (APN 058-380-008 and por+on of 058-320-001). At the same +me, the City Council also adopted Resolu+on 2021-79 to approve a Tenta+ve Subdivision Map for 85 condominium mul+family residential units on a 7.2-acre Oat Hill Parcel B (portion of APN 058-320-001).
The Applicant has prepared Two Final Maps for Parcels A and B (Exhibits A and B to Resolu+on) and complied with all relevant Conditions of Approval except as discussed below.
Municipal Code Sec+on 18.26.030 requires that “Prior to city council considera+on of the final map, 55 the sub-divider shall execute a subdivision agreement between himself and the city. The agreement shall provide for installa+on of all improvements as shown on the approved plans and specifica+ons for the project and specify the period of +me within which he or his agent or contractor shall complete all improvement work to the sa+sfac+on of the city engineer. In the event the sub-divider fails to complete such work within said period, the agreement shall include provisions for the city to complete all improvements and recover the full cost and expense thereof from the sub-divider.” A Subdivision Improvement Agreement for Parcel A and Parcel B has been prepared (Exhibit C to Resolu+on). As the final improvement plans have not been finalized, final execu+on of the Agreement will be accomplished upon City approval of the improvement plans.
The City Engineer has reviewed the Final Maps and determined that they are in conformance with the Tenta+ve Parcel Maps and the Subdivision Map Act. The Final Map for Parcel A includes the following offers of dedication to the City:
Emergency Vehicle Access Easement (VAE)
Public utility easement (PUE)
The Final Map for Parcel B includes the following offers of dedication to the City:
Public Access Easement (PAE)
Emergency Vehicle Access Easement (VAE)
Public utility easement (PUE)
The City Engineer will not release the approved Final Maps for recording un+l the aforemen+oned Subdivision Improvement Agreement is recorded, and any outstanding fee or payments are received.
City Municipal Code sec+on 13.06.110 authorizes the City to enter into fee credit and fee reimbursement agreements for the construc+on of off-site or oversized improvements to the City's water or sewer system. City Council Resolu+on Nos. 2021-76, -77, -78, and -79, approving Tenta+ve Maps and Design Permits for the Project, provide that certain other water and road infrastructure improvements constructed by Developer qualify for fee credits and fee reimbursement for the costs of such improvements. To that end, the Project Applicant has proposed to construct certain eligible water, sewer, recycled water, and road improvements as part of the Project that would otherwise be financed by City fees and rates and built by the City.
Accordingly, a Fee Credit Reimbursement Agreement has been prepared that provides for the alloca+on of certain fee credits and fee reimbursement for the costs of such improvements. (AIached as Exhibit D to Resolu+on). As set forth in the Fee Credit Reimbursement Agreement, the Applicant will construct improvement projects in accordance with the Subdivision Improvement Agreement. As considera+on for the applicant construc+ng certain addi+onal improvements, the 56 City will allow certain fee credits to be provided to the applicant for specific projects rela+ng to the following:
Napa Junc+on Road Improvements (credits for which will be applied to the City’s Traffic Impact Fee);
Water Main Replacement in Napa Junc+on Road (credits for which will be applied to the City’s Water Capacity Fee)
Sanitary Sewer Main Replacement in Napa Junc+on Road and Theresa Avenue (credits for which will be applied to the City’s Wastewater Capacity Fee) Recycled Water Main in Lombard Road and Hess Road (so that sufficient potable water demand will be provided to comply with the City’s Zero Water Footprint Policy and nega+ng any Zero Water Footprint fees); and
Water Main Extension (credits for which will be applied to the City’s Water Capacity Fee).
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Final Maps to sub-divide the Property approving the development of 291 residen+al units and associated ameni+es on Parcels A and B and to accept the referenced dedica+ons offered thereon. Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into Subdivision Improvement Agreement and Fee Reimbursement Agreement pending City approval of the Project Improvement Plans.

WHEREAS, on September 21, 2021, the City Council approved General Plan Amendments and Rezones to re-designate Parcel A as Residential High Density, 16 dwelling units per acre (RH-1), rezone Parcel A to Residential High Density (RH), redesignate Parcel 8 as Residential Medium Density, 12 dwelling units per acre (RM), and rezone Parcel 8 to Residential Medium Density (RM), as well as approved Tentative Maps and Design Permits and certified an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, among other approvals (collectively, the "Project Approvals") pursuant to Ordinance Nos. 2021-05 and -06 and Resolution Nos. 2021-61, -62, -63, -64, -76, -77, -78, and -79; and WHEREAS, Developer intends to construct 291 multi-family residential units and associated improvements and infrastructure (the "Project") on the Property pursuant to the Project Approvals; and
WHEREAS, certain of the Project Approvals include several conditions of approval, including conditions related to certain required public and private improvements (the "Conditions"); and
WHEREAS, City and Developer, by this Agreement, each desire to document and secure the other's improvement and performance obligations related to the 084120\14769262v2
67 Conditions. The improvements that are the subject of this Agreement are set forth on Schedule A attached hereto (the "Improvements").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the City and Developer (the "Parties" or each a "Party") hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Improvement Agreement. The following subsections of this Section 1 apply to the construction of the Improvements and constitute the requisite "Improvement Agreement" for such Improvements as contemplated by the Project Approvals:
a. Improvements. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Developer hereby acknowledges and agrees that prior to the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for the Project, all the Improvements described in Schedule A must be constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications accepted by City staff and in accordance with the Conditions. However, no certificate of occupancy shall be withheld if Developer is unable to complete certain of the Improvements due to the inability to obtain any required property rights (the "Rights," as defined below) from third parties as described in subsection b. below or due to any delays due to approvals or consents by third-party agencies or for othe reasons outside of the reasonable control of Developer.
b. Right-of Way Acquisition. Developer, at its sole cost and expense, shall secure all necessary property rights, including but not limited to rights-of-way and public and private easements, for the Improvements (collectively, the "Rights") and such Rights shall either be set forth on the Project's final map or be granted by separate instrument.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Developer, after exercising its good faith efforts to acquire any such Rights, be unable to do so, then at the request of Developer, City shall exercise its power of eminent domain to acquire such Rights; provided that Developer enters first into an agreement with the City to pay for all costs incurred by the City to acquire such Rights. If the City does not acquire the Rights necessary to allow the Improvements to be completed by Developer within the statutory timeline provided by law, then Developer shall be relieved of the obligation to construct those Improvements only to the extent they require property not currently owned by Developer or the City. All necessary Rights for the Improvements to be dedicated to City shall be granted to City concurrently with the inspection and acceptance by the City of the applicable Improvement.
c. Performance of Work. Developer, at its sole expense, may engage one or more licensed general contractors and/or subcontractors (hereinafter "Contractors") to install the Improvements and shall cause all of the Improvements to be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner. Developer shall cause all of the Improvements to be performed at the places, with the materials, in the manner, and at the grades in accordance with the plans and specifications accepted by City staff. 084120\14769262v2
68 d. Work: Milestone for Completion of Improvements. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1 (a) above, prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the Improvements shall be completed to the satisfaction of the City as evidenced by a notice of completion filed with the Napa County Recorder's Office; provided, however, that the City agrees to issue certificates of occupancy for any building if the only Improvements that remain incomplete are those that are (i) subject to an eminent domain action necessary to require the Rights, (ii) delayed by inaction or delays caused by third-party reviewing agencies or other delays outside of the reasonable control of Developer.
Furthermore, in the event that any Improvements are not completed prior to the time that the Developer seeks City approval for a certificate of occupancy, the City shall not unreasonably withhold issuance of a certificate of occupancy. e. Time is of Essence - Extension. Time is of the essence for the completion of the Improvements provided, however, that in the event "good cause" is shown therefore, City may extend the time for commencement or completion of the Improvements so as to not unreasonably withhold a certificate of occupancy for any building in the Project.
f. Repairs and Replacements. Developer shall cause the replacement or have replaced, repair or have repaired, as the case may be, or pay to the City, the entire cost of replacements or repairs, of any and all property damaged or destroyed by reason of any work done hereunder, whether such property be owned by the United States or any agency thereof, or the State of California, or any agency or political subdivision thereof, or by the City or by any public or private corporation, partnership or association, or by any person. Any such repair or replacement shall be to the satisfaction and subject to the approval of the said City's Engineer.
g. Permits; Compliance with Law. Developer shall cause, at its sole expense, all permits and licenses necessary for the approval and construction of the Improvements to be obtained and shall cause all necessary notices to be issued and all required fees and taxes to be paid. Such permits shall include but not be limited to City Encroachment Permit(s) if necessary. Developer shall cause the furnishment of proof of the required workers' compensation insurance coverage prior to the Contractors commencement of activities in conjunction with the Improvements. h. . Inspection by City. Developer shall at all times maintain proper facilities and provide safe access for inspection by City to all parts of the work of the Improvements, to assure that the work done shall be done in accordance with the plans and specifications accepted by City staff. Inspections by City are solely for the benefit of City. City shall not be responsible for any defective work or materials which could have been discovered by Developer through independent inspection regardless of whether or not the City undertook such inspections.
i. Securities. Prior to issuance of the first building permit for the Project, and in accordance with Government Code section 66499 et seq., Developer shall provide, or cause its Contractor to provide, improvement security for the Improvements based on the 084120\14769262v2
69 estimated costs thereof in favor of the City in an amount and form reasonably acceptable to the City.
Said security shall be prepared on the standard forms provided by City and available from City's Engineer. Also, the security may be provided separately for each Improvement as shown on Schedule A.
Irrevocable letters of credit or cash deposits or savings account(s) or certificate(s) payable to City in form reasonably satisfactory to City and equivalent to said surety bonds may be accepted by City in place of the bonds with all legal expenses incurred by City in reviewing and approving said bond equivalents to be paid by Developer.
Developer agrees to maintain such surety bonds and/or approved and applicable irrevocable letter(s) of credit, or cash deposit(s), or savings account(s) or other acceptable certificate(s) payable to the City in full force and effect consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including any extensions of time as may be granted by the City.
As and when various discrete components of the Improvements have been constructed and completed and have been accepted by the City pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, City agrees to issue a notice of completion and acceptance of such components of the Improvements (individually, a "Notice of Completion") and cooperate with Developer to reduce the outstanding amount of the security to reflect the then remaining unpaid costs of the Improvements.
j. Title to Improvements. Title to, and ownership of, all Improvements constructed hereunder by Developer which are to be delivered to City or for which there is an irrevocable offer of dedication as set forth on the Project Approvals shall vest absolutely in City upon completion and acceptance of such Improvements by the City.

Repair or Reconstruction of Defective Work. If, within a period of one (1) year after the notice of completion evidencing final acceptance of any work of an Improvement performed under this Agreement, any structure or part of any structure furnished and/or installed or constructed, or caused to be installed or constructed by Developer, or any of the work done under this Agreement, fails to fulfill any of the requirements of this Agreement or the specifications referred to herein, Developer shall, without delay and without any cost to City, repair or replace or reconstruct any defective or otherwise unsatisfactory part of parts of the work or structure. Should Developer fail to make, or undertake with due diligence, the aforesaid repairs within twenty (20) calendar days after City has given written notice of such failure or should the exigencies of the case require repairs or replacements to be made before Developer can be notified or act, City may, at its option, make the necessary repairs or replacements or perform the necessary work, and Developer shall pay to City the actual cost of such repairs. The security described in subsection i. shall be released upon expiration of such one-year period if no claim is made within such period.

ITEM NUMBER: 12.
TITLE
Enhanced Solid Waste Services and Rates (SB 1383)
RECOMMENDATION
Provide direction regarding enhanced solid waste services and rates required by SB 1383.
CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
On November 16, 2021, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2021-08 modifying Title 8 (Health and Safety) of the American Canyon Municipal Code to add Chapter 8.20 Mandatory Municipal Solid Waste, Recycling and Compost Material Disposal Reduc8on. The adopted Ordinance is a requirement of State Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383), the Short-lived Climate Pollutant Reduc8on Act of 2016, requiring the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to develop regula8ons to reduce organics in landfills as a source of methane and went into effect on January 1, 2022.
As adopted by CalRecycle, these SB 1383 regula8ons require all jurisdic8ons to implement a mandatory organic recycling ordinance and enforcement mechanisms to ensure that all covered residen8al and commercial generators are compliant with the regula8ons. This legisla8on requires all businesses, residents, and mul8-family apartments to have access to recycling programs that capture food scraps, landscaping waste, among other organic waste materials.
On December 21, 2021, City Council was provided the following steps for implementing SB1383:
1. Recology needs to provide a cost for the addi8onal programs mandated by SB 1383 in order to facilitate a contract amendment.
2. The County of Napa, with all municipal agencies par8cipa8ng, has started a countywide Edible Food Recovery study iden8fying all Tier One and Tier Two generators and assessing the capacity and developing a capacity plan countywide.
3. The City’s Environmental Specialist that oversaw solid waste and several other City programs re8red in 2021, and the City has not filled the vacancy. The City is u8lizing a combina8on of staff augmenta8on through consultants and current City staff to work on site assessments, enforcement, training, and monitoring needed to successfully get all residen8al and 104
commercial accounts set up with organics collection and reporting to CalRecycle.
Following the December mee8ng, City staff and Recology met on several occasions to discuss the rate increases needed to implement the baseline requirements of SB 1383 and several service options to consider. The baseline requirements and options to consider are below:
SB1383 Requirements (baseline increase)
Organics collection for all residential customers, including food waste Color-compliant carts and containers
Additional Service Options
Route reviews (inspecting trash bins)
Public Outreach & Education
New City Recycling Coordinator (City Hire)
The aAached presenta8on details the various rate structure op8ons proposed for the City as well as a solid waste rate comparison of other agencies within Napa County and immediately adjacent City agencies. The below table is a snapshot of the current City residen8al rate, baseline increase (meets the minimum SB1383 requirement) and City staff recommendation:
Residential Bin Size
Current Residential
Rates
Baseline Increase
(Option 1*)
Staff
Recommendation
(Option 3**)
32-gallon $25.46 $27.24 $29.79
64-gallon $38.71 $41.42 $45.29
96-gallon $56.24 $60.18 $65.80
* Increase for Residential Food Waste Only
** Residential for Food Waste and 8.2% franchise fee (City) for 1 full time employee City staff have been able to meet the needs for commercial inspec8on and repor8ng requirements to date, but the implementa8on of the residen8al requirements of SB1383 is a new unfunded mandate that will take a considerable amount of 8me for inspec8on, repor8ng, enforcement, and public outreach. Note: commercial rates are not increasing at this 8me as recycling requirements, including inspec8on, repor8ng, and enforcement, have been in place for some 8me with the current rate structure; therefore the focus is on residential rates.
With the implementa8on of SB1383, there is a poten8al opportunity for residents to reduce their larger landfill bin size depending on their ability to recycle organics in their yard waste bin. In addi8on, eligible residents are able to apply for the Recology Cares Program which equates to an approximate 15% rate reduction to their bill.
Recology has informed the City that implementa8on of the SB1383 residen8al requirements could be implemented immediately following an adopted rate structure and amended franchise 105
agreement.
Staff is reques8ng City Council to discuss and provide feedback on the various rate op8ons. Solid Waste rates are governed by the Proposi8on 218 (Prop 218) process; therefore pending City Council consensus on a preferred op8on, City staff will return to City Council on June 7, 2022 to set a public hearing date for the preferred op8on. The Prop 218 process requires a 45-day no8cing period so it is anticipated the earliest hearing date would be scheduled for August 2, 2022.
Concurrent with the Prop 218 process, City staff will con8nue contract nego8a8ons with Recology with regard to contract term and annual rate increase (i.e. CPI vs WST). Ideally, the contract would be executed immediately following the adop8on of a new rate structure in order to implement the requirements of SB 1383.
FISCAL IMPACT
While the ini8al costs associated with the City's compliance of SB 1383 are currently being covered by exis8ng budget appropria8ons, the long term implementa8on and enforcement needs for the residen8al requirements are unknown at this 8me. In the short term, there will be addi8onal demand either through City staff or contract services to provide regular program outreach, review of waiver requests, business audits/inspec8ons, and enforcement of the ordinance as it develops. In addi8on, there will be a cost to par8cipate in the Countywide Food Recovery Study that is being ini8ated by the County of Napa. Recology, the City's franchise hauler, has provided several service rate op8ons for implemen8ng the new residen8al requirements of SB 1383 and what this translates to American Canyon rate payers and the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This ac8on is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a poten8al for resul8ng in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline sec8on 15378. Further, the ac8on is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sec8ons 15307 and 15308 for actions by regulatory agencies for the protection of natural resources and the environment.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Last summer the City was facing a water deficit and one of the driest years in the state. The City went from a Stage 1 Drought Emergency in the first part of summer quickly to a Stage 2 Drought Emergency; asking residents to reduce water usage by 20%. The City was able to assist the residents to achieve what was asked of them by crea*ng a recycled water delivery program. The Water Reclama*on Facility produces *tle 22 water and had a residen*al recycled water fill sta*on already being u*lized at the corpora*on yard. A recycled water delivery program was developed to help residents maintain their landscapes and gardens while still conserving potable water.
Residents filled out applica*ons to be a recycled water user and have water delivered to them. The delivery program started with about 50 customers and grew to just over 300 at the conclusion of the program in November 2021. To date, there are 550 approved recycled water users who have completed recycled water training videos and applica*ons. This program was well received by the community and continues grow.
During the inaugural season of recycled water delivery, it was developed and maintained u*lizing city staff from the Maintenance and U*li*es Department with delivery being conducted by the same department as well as the Public Works Department. Both Departments were key to making the program a success during the delivery season (mid July thru early November) staff contributed many hours taking phone calls, answering ques*ons, filing applica*ons, crea*ng route sheets, assis*ng cons*tuents with applica*ons, crea*ng partnerships for water containers dona*ons, and delivering the water.
128
As the City con*nues in Drought Emergency Stage 2, staff are assis*ng the community to reduce water usage by 20% and an*cipates the recycled water delivery program will help. Staff researched and analyzed different scenarios for delivering the program.
1. Renting a truck and using staff to deliver water and administer the program.
2. Renting a truck and driver to deliver water and using staff to administer the program.
3. Contracting for a truck, driver and administrator of the program.
Staff received quotes from four companies and is recommending the City partner with American Tank & Water Hauling to administer all aspects of the Residen*al Recycled Water Delivery Program to include delivering the water from mid-May through the end of October. American Tank & Water Hauling will develop the rou*ng, scheduling, text/email alerts for expected and completed delivery as well as reports for deliveries and work logs. Staff will work closely with the hauling company to ensure the program is being administered as outlined.

Conference
Event Title:* Fire District Association Conference (FDAC) Event Report: Attended the annual conference in Napa Ca. Went to a number of sessions, including General Governance (good review of the basics); Recruitment & Retention (a lot of good ideas about attracting new firefighters); Legislative Update (really more about the upcoming State Assembly/Senate races, and Fire's share of the State Budget); Emergency Medical Services (really good info); and PIO in Fire (with our own Laura Provencher as the presentershe did a great job).
Going back to EMS, it is amazing how private ambulance services have gamed the system, provided there is a Fire/Paramedic service available. I also learned about the various ways the ambulance company can be exempted from meeting their response times, leading to some areas with 5-10 fold increases in the number of exemptions over the last 5-10 years. One ray of hope is new legislation, AB 389, which allows a City Fire Service to compete to provide transport services, as long as they subcontract the actual transporting! File/Photo Upload

We have tentatively worked out an arrangement in which the right-of-way for the Oat Hill Apartments may be secured without the cost of eminent domain. Assuming this does work out, we can then focus on the "big picture" issues that also need to be addressed. We are meeting later this month.
