ITEM NUMBER: 7.
TITLE
AB361 In Person and Remote Teleconferenced Meetings - September 15, 2022 - October 15, 2022
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu-on reaffirming that, due to the con-nuing COVID-19 Pandemic, a local emergency exists, re-ra-fying the Proclama-on of a State of Emergency by Governor Newsom on March 4, 2020, and authorizing in-person and remote teleconferenced mee-ngs of legisla-ve and advisory bodies of the City of American Canyon for the period of September 15, 2022 - October 15, 2022 pursuant to the Ralph M. Brown Act.

Taresa Geilfuss, CMC, City Clerk
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the City Council, as well as the City Planning Commission and Board of Directors of the American Canyon Fire Protec-on District, have been conduc-ng mee-ngs via Zoom teleconference, as allowed by Execu-ve Order N-29-20. However, the Execu-ve Order expired on September 30, 2021.
Assembly Bill 361, which was approved at by the Governor on September 16, 2021, allows local agencies such as the City to con-nue to meet by Zoom or other teleconferencing methods, provided that certain conditions are met.
The effect of Execu-ve Order N-29-20 was to suspend certain provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Open Mee-ng Act (Government Code Sec-on 54950 et seq.), which only allowed remote teleconference par-cipa-on by City Council Members through a pos-ng process at each teleconferenced member’s loca-on, with agenda provisions indica-ng that each teleconferenced location be accessible to the public.
The aAached Resolu-on complies with the provisions of AB 361 to allow con-nued Zoom mee-ngs of the City Council, while also allowing the mee-ngs to be conducted with in-person aAendance.
This “hybrid” style of mee-ng con-nues to promote social distancing by allowing members of the Council, City Staff, and members of the public to par-cipate in the manner in which they feel most safe, thereby promo-ng public par-cipa-on while simultaneously protec-ng vulnerable members of 12 the public, such as those with compromised immune systems.
The ability to con-nue to meet by Zoom, even in conjunc-on with Open Mee-ngs, can be accomplished by the City Council provided that monthly resolu-ons as agendized are enacted with provisions referencing appropriate confirmation of declared emergencies are described.
Stated plainly, the City Council will have to enact a “361 Resolu-on” at least every 30 days to allow the Zoom teleconferencing procedure to continue.
Changes to the first page of the City Council Agendas were made beginning October 2021, as the means for the public to par-cipate via con-nued Zoom teleconference will have to be described consistent with the AB 361 procedures rather than the now-expired Execu-ve Order N-29-20. These changes indicate that, pursuant to this authority, members of the public and members of the City Council may con-nue to par-cipate by Zoom video/teleconferencing, or alterna-vely par-cipate inperson at the designated physical meeting location.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15378(b) - The ac-on is not a "Project" subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it does not qualify as a "Project" under Public Resources Code Sec-ons 21065 and 21080 and in Section 15378(b) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

WHEREAS, the City of American Canyon (“City”) is committed to preserving and nurturing public access and participation in meetings of the American Canyon City Council (“City Council”), Council committees, Planning Commission, and all other advisory, elected and appointed committees and commissions (“City Decision Making Bodies”); and,
WHEREAS, all meetings of the City’s legislative bodies are open and public, as required by the Ralph M. Brown Act (Cal. Gov. Code 54950 – 54963), so that any member of the public may attend, participate, and watch the City’s legislative bodies conduct their business; and, WHEREAS, the Brown Act, Government Code section 54953(e), makes provisions for remote teleconferencing participation in meetings by members of a legislative body, without compliance with the requirements of Government Code section 54953(b)(3), subject to the existence of certain conditions; and,
WHEREAS, a required condition for such teleconference meetings is that a state of emergency be declared by the Governor pursuant to Government Code section 8625, proclaiming the existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the state caused by conditions as described in Government Code section 8558; and, WHEREAS, that proclamation is made when there is an actual incident, threat of disaster, or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the jurisdictions that are within the City’s boundaries, caused by natural, technological, or human-caused disasters; and, WHEREAS, that proclamation also requires that state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, or, the legislative body meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees; and, WHEREAS, emergency conditions exist in the City, specifically, a State of Emergency has been proclaimed by Governor Newsom on March 4, 2020, proclaiming a State of Emergency to exist in California because of the threat of COVID-19; and,
14 2
WHEREAS, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the City Council has conducted remote, teleconferenced meetings consistent with the Governor’s Executive Orders promoting social distancing; and
WHEREAS, consistent with AB 361, as a condition of extending the use of the provisions found in section 54953(e), the City Council must reconsider the circumstances of the state of emergency that exists in the City, and the City Council has done so; and, WHEREAS, in response to COVID-19, the Governor of the State of California issued a Proclamation of a State of Emergency in response to COVID-19 on March 4, 2020, and issued Executive Order N-25-20 on March 12, 2020, proclaiming temporary amendments to State law and regulations related thereto; and
WHEREAS, on March 16, 2020, the City’s Director of Emergency Services issued a Proclamation of a Local Emergency by the City of American Canyon Director of Emergency Services and Acknowledgement of a State Proclamation Declaring of a State of Emergency and Acknowledgement of a Federal Proclamation Declaring of a National Emergency (P2020-001) (the “Proclamation”); and
WHEREAS, due to the emergence of new variants of COVID-19, such as Delta Variant, followed by the surging Omicron Variant of COVID-19, not all members of the public may feel safe to participate personally at in-person meetings; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that conducting “hybrid” style meetings with the option for members of the public and members of the City Council to attend either virtually or in person would allow participation in a way individuals feel most safe, thereby promoting public participation while simultaneously promoting social distancing and protecting vulnerable members of the public, such as those with compromised immune systems; and, WHEREAS, as a consequence of the local emergency, the City Council does hereby find that City Decision Making Bodies shall conduct their meetings without compliance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Government Code section 54953, as authorized by subdivision (e) of section 54953, and that such legislative bodies shall comply with the requirements to provide the public with access to the meetings as prescribed in paragraph (2) of subdivision (e) of section 54953; and,
WHEREAS, the City is providing teleconference access via a conference phone-line number to the meetings to ensure public access.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AMERICAN CANYON DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated into this Resolution by this reference.
15 3
Section 2. Affirmation that Local Emergency Exists. The City Council hereby proclaims that a local emergency continues to exist throughout the city, and the surging of Delta and Omicron Variants of COVID-19 would present an imminent risk to meeting in person.

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 Reduc)on.” The adopted Ordinance is a requirement of State Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383), the Climate Pollutant Reduc)on Act of 2016, requiring the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to develop regulations to reduce organics in landfills as a source of methane.
On August 16, 2022, City Council held a public hearing following the procedures required by Proposi)on 218, ar)cle XIII D, sec)on 6 of the California Cons)tu)on for increasing solid waste residen)al rates associated with the State unfunded SB1383 mandatesfor organic waste collec)on services. Following the public hearing, City Council adopted Resolu)on No. 2022-73 seBng the new residential rate structure.
The City has an exclusive solid waste and recyclables collec)on, processing and disposal services Franchise Agreement (Agreement) with Recology, including yard waste and recyclables. The May 1, 2003 Agreement and two subsequent amendments of October 13, 2005 and December 3, 2013, do not reflect the State's unfunded SB1383 requirements adopted in Ordinance No. 2021-08 or the recently adopted residential rate structure to include organic waste collection services. 17 City staff is proposing a third amendment to Recology's Franchise Agreement to address solid waste residen)al rates, franchise fees and language modifica)ons to reflect the SB1383 requirements to be made effec)ve September 1, 2022. A draF of the amendment has been a3ached to this staff report. The third amendment may be subject to addi)onal language modifica)on between the City Attorney and Recology's counsel prior to execution.
Unless further modified, all rates will increase with the annual CPI adjustment. Recology's Agreement is scheduled to expire in December 2023.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services."
FISCAL IMPACT
The third Amendment with Recology provides the mechanism to collect increased franchise fees identified in the new residential rate structure.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Recommended Ac)on is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a poten)al for resul)ng in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline sec)on 15378. Further, the ac)on is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sec)ons 15307 and 15308 for ac)ons by regulatory agencies for the protec)on of natural resources and the environment.

American Canyon Chamber of Commerce Membership
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Minute Order approving membership to the American Canyon Chamber of Commerce for FY22/23 and authorizing a budget increase in the amount of $50,000 to line item 100-10-620-42425 from the General Fund Undesignated Fund Balance.
CONTACT
Jason Holley, City Manager
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Historically, the City supports the Chamber of Commerce as a "champion partner". This support includes providing a cash contribu8on to Chamber in the amount of $50,000 as well as in kind support for various Chamber events.
As highlighted in the presenta8on earlier tonight, the Chamber reciprocates by ac8ng as a Catalyst, Convener and Champion for American Canyon. The symbio8c rela8onship with Chamber provides the City with unparalleled access and reach within the business community and staff recommends amending the budget to continue its membership for FY 2022/23.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Community and Sense of Place: "Build on the strength of our local community to develop a clear 'sense of place' and establish our unique identity."
FISCAL IMPACT
Although the City rou8nely provides financial support to the Chamber, an appropria8on for membership is not expressly iden8fied in the FY 2022/23 Budget. Rather than wait un8l the MidYear Budget next February, staff recommends amending the budget now with an increased appropriation of $50,000.
The Recommended Ac8on will increase Budget Line Item 100-10-620-42425 (Memberships and Subscrip8ons) by $50,000, with the General Fund Undesignated Fund Balance as the source of 27 funds. As a result of the Recommended Ac8on, the General Fund Undesignated Fund Balance will be reduced by $50,000 to $1,759,851.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15378(b) - The ac8on is not a "Project" subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it does not qualify as a "Project" under Public Resources Code Sec8ons 21065 and 21080 and in Section 15378(b) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

Introduction to Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS)
RECOMMENDATION
Receive a presentation on Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS)
CONTACT
Felix Hernandez, III, Maintenance and Utilities Director
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The City owns and operates mul/ple cri/cal facili/es including, wastewater treatment plant, water treatment plant, water distribu/on systems, wastewater collec/on systems, fleet, buildings, parks, facili/es and an aqua/cs center. These assets require consistent maintenance to func/on properly and to provide reliable service to the community.
Computerized Maintenance Management System
The industry standard for maintaining accurate records of public works and u/lity infrastructure is a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). CMMS is so6ware that allows staff to issue and track work orders (recurring maintenance items), document the work that has been completed, maintain records of inspec/ons, proac/vely plan maintenance and replacements, and gather valuable data.
The City currently uses CMMS systems such as "Dude Solu/ons" at the Water Reclama/on Facility (WRF) for wastewater treatment plant opera/ons and "Opera" for corpora/on yard opera/ons (parks, civic facili/es, street maintenance, etc.). While there is no CMMS at the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) the City uses a legacy "backflow preven/on system" known as "XC2" for the backflow devices at each of its nearly 5,500 water services. The outdated versions of these exis/ng systems are ineffectual and they do not integrate with each out, so this would not truly be considered a full CMMS package.
Customer Response Management (311)
A Customer Response Management (CRM) system (also known as 311 systems) can empower residents to report issues, iden/fy repair needs, and share feedback. In an idealized world, CRM's 29 can powers efficient and transparent workflows, fostering accountability and trust - the result (hopefully) is collabora/ve experiences between governments and residents that create clean, safe, and happy community.
Since 2015, the City has used "SeeClickFix" as its CRM/311 system. (Prior to that email and phone calls were the only method of repor/ng). Residents can access the CRM/311 through the City's Virtual City Hall (hCps://www.cityofamericancanyon.org/how-do-i/report/seeclickfix) or by downloading the See Click Fix App. Since implementa/on, over 2,606 concerns have been reported and resolved using the CRM system.
While both CMMS and CRM/311 systems are useful, they serve a different purpose. CMMS systems can be thought of as an "internal" or "back-of-the-house", while a CRM/311 system can be thought as a public-facing or "front-of-the-house". Unfortunately, the City's current CMMS and CRM/311 systems do not integrate with each other. Said differently, issues reported in See Click Fix (or by phone/email) are manually entered into Opera (the primary CMMS for common work order trigger by the public),
There are many CMMS so6ware plaGorms on the market, each having its pros and cons. Staff is aware of the City’s needs regarding water treatment, water distribu/on, wastewater treatment, wastewater collec/on, fleet, building facili/es, and parks maintenance. However, these needs must be listed, priori/zed, and compared with the capabili/es of the available systems. This priori/za/on and comparison will allow the City to select, purchase and implement a CMMS that best meets the City’s current and future needs.
Before proceeding with the CMMS selec/on process, a threshold ques/on emerges related to the CRM/311 system - namely, integra/on with SeeClickFix. Currently, issues reported on SeeClickFix are evaluated and then work orders are manually entered in the CMMS based on a variety of internal factors and decision-making. Feedback is then provided to the residents, with varying success. (Note: residents cannot use Facebook or NextDoor to report issues).
New technology exists to integrate CMMS and CRM/311 systems in ways not available before.
Before proceeding with an RFP for a CMMS, staff seeks Council's perspec/ve whether to keep the separate rela/onship between the City's (new) CMMS and current CRM system - i.e. SeeClickFix (which would not change) or to pursue an integrated approach (meaning a new 311 system integrated with the CMMS).
Staff believes that while an integrated approach would likely be more of a heavy li6 ini/ally, it will pay dividends in the long run. Tonight, Council will receive a presenta/on from one integrated vender "NEXGEN Asset Management/NEXGEN 311."
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services." 30 FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact at this /me. If the City were to move forward with a new CMMS, the cost will vary depending on selected so6ware capability and individual Department needs. The cost of a CMMS is an/cipated to be spread over a variety of funding sources (General Fund, Water, and Wastewater Enterprise).

TITLE
Key Performance Indicators
RECOMMENDATION
Update on Key Performance Indicators
CONTACT
Jason Holley, City Manager
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Each Department identifies Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) in the FY 22/23 Budget.
These KPI's are intended to be quan4fiable measure of performance over 4me for a specific objec4ve. KPIs provide targets for teams to shoot for, milestones to gauge progress, and insights that help people across the organiza4on make be:er decisions. The KPI's are categorized based one of six identified City Strategic Plan Goals (Attachment 2).
The City Council appointed an ad-hoc commi:ee (Joseph/Washington) to refine the KPI's for the next budget cycle. The commi:ee and key management staff met on June 2 and agreed upon two changes.
The first change is to recognize KPI's are primarily an expression of the City's sixth Strategic Plan Goal: "Organiza4onal Effec4veness: Deliver Exemplary Government Services", and it is unnecessary to additionally sort each KPI per each of the other five Goals.
The next change is to dis4nguish between different types of KPI's (ie."sta4s4cs" vs. "metrics"). For example, the KPI known as "vehicle lanes miles" is a statistic, not a metric. In contrast, the KPI known as "Pavement Management Index" - which is an expression of pavement condi4on that fluctuates over time - is a metric, not a statistic.
Statistics
Below is a sample of sta4s4cs that will con4nue to be tracked and reported. Sta4s4cal trends can be an indicator to suggest opera4onal change, but the sta4s4cs themselves are not an indicator of performance.
57 For example, the number of "property crimes" in any given repor4ng period is a singular data point.
When comparing the current data point to the data in prior repor4ng periods, a trendline can be established and the "rate of change" observed (eg. the trend is increasing, decreasing, or sta4c.) This "rate of change" (ie. "trendline") is not an indicator of performance (ie "police officers are not recovering enough stolen property to keep American Canyon residents feeling safe"), but trendline can be an indicator of change that might be warranted. Ul4mately, staff determines the data that is collected and then shares the data and trends with the Council in an effort to aid their policymaking.
Below are example Statistical KPI's - a more complete list is shown in Attachment 1:
Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics (property crime, violent crime, etc.) Code Enforcement cases
Business development inquiries
Building permits issued
Building inspections
Volunteer hours
Special event participation
Recreation program enrollees
Vehicle lane miles
Residential water demand
Recycled water demand
Wastewater treated
Solar energy production
GHG emitted
Employees per capita
Metrics
Below is a sample of metrics that can be measured against a pre-defined policy standard adopted by the Council.
Con4nuing on the prior example, Council might implement a policy (in pursuit of its Public Safety Goal: "To Ensure American Canyon Remains a Safe Community" ) related to the public's percep4on about safety. Such a policy might affirm that the community "feels safe" when stolen property is recovered 25% of the 4me. Said differently, the Council would take ac4on to adopt a policy seHng a performance metric of 50% for property crime recovery, based on the Council's belief that a typical American Canyon resident will con4nue to feel safe in the community if property is recovered 25% of the 4me aIer a property crime is reported. Metrics themselves can be compared with other jurisdic4ons and/or na4onal standards, but because the Goals themselves are subjec4ve, so is an individual's determination whether the Goal is achieved based on the adopted metrics.
Below are example metric KPI's - a more complete list is shown in Attachment 1:
Violent crime clearance rate
58 Property crime clearance rate
Property crime recovery percentage
Fire response time
Average fire plan review time
Average City vehicle repair time
Average development project review time
Pavement Condition Index
Non-revenue water loss (%)
Potable water cost per unit sold
Recycled water cost per unit sold
Wastewater unit cost per unit sold
Average facility maintenance response time
Average employee recruitment time
Average Public Records Act response time
Next Steps:
Assuming Council agrees with the evolu4on in the City's approach to KPIs, the next step is for management staff - in conjunc4on with the commi:ee - to further refine the sta4s4cs and metrics that will be iden4fied in next budget. ThereaIer, a means for simply displaying the sta4s4cs and performance for KPIs will be developed for public review/consumption.

Event Title:* Napa Valley Transportation Authority (NVTA) Event Report: This was the agenda setting meeting with the Executive Director, Chair and Vice-Chair. We reviewed the upcoming agenda for the Board and the Measure T Board. There will be quarterly updates on NVTA's capital projects (including Soscol Junction, our Corridor Plan, and the Vine Trail), the transit system and an update/rebooting of the V-Commute program. This program started right before the pandemic, so it needs to be re-introduced to the community.

Event Title:* Electric Mobility Event at our Walmart
Event Report: This is an annual event that used to be held at Napa Valley College. This year I helped to relocate it to our own Walmart parking lot. We will have several electric vehicles (and their owners to talk about their experience with ownership), e-bikes, battery powered yard equipment, the City's Electric Van, NVTA's new electric bus and several vendors. This is a free event, scheduled for Sunday, September 25 from 1-4pm. Please get the word out.
I have been working with the event organizers and hope to see the Council on the 25th.

Event Title:* Climate Action Ad hoc Committee
Event Report: After Council's meeting, in which there was more discussion about the process and not that much about the actual programs being considered, several members of the committee regrouped and took Council's advice to focus more on public outreach.
With that in mind, some of us met with the new student leaders for Students For Climate Action (S4CA) at the high school. Out of this meeting, we decided on two strategies. First, S4CA would work with community groups, such as Kiwanis and the Arts Foundation, to develop several activities surrounding next year's Earth Day; and second, they would take on a new project (similar to the gas station ban last year): increasing the use of bikes in town. This would entail several elements, from advocating we spend more to implement the City's adopted Bike Plan, promoting regular Bike to School/Work days, and other efforts to shift from vehicles to bikes. This is a very 63 exciting proposition, since it is consistent with the interim plan and should be positively received by the community.

Event Title:* City Events and Activities
Event Report: Citipac's annual Bocce Tournament: As I noted at the last Council meeting, Cheryl and I attended this fund raiser, along with the Mayor and his wife. The food was excellent, and we did very well in the tournament--we made it to the semi-finals and lost the tie roll. It was a pleasant day and a good chance to network with other elected officials in the North Bay Division. 9/11 Memorial Service: This annual event went very well and we had a good turnout. The weather was also very accommodating.
Planning session for upcoming Zoomcast: Council member Washington, Janelle Sellick and the producer of "Bay Trail Confidential" and I met to discuss an upcoming show on American Canyon's trails and wetlands open space, including the proposed Eco-Center. The live show will be Wednesday, October 5 at 7:30pm. As many people who live here know, most people's perception of American Canyon is based on the 29 corridor. Once you get off the highway, we have plenty of outdoor adventures. We hope this show will let everyone know about our best kept secret.

Event Report: Labor Day Breakfast: This is the annual fund raiser for the Napa Solano Central Labor Council. Many of the local dignitaries from Napa and Solano Counties were there, including Congressman Thompson, State Assembly Aguiar-Curry and others.
Evening at the Ruins fund raiser: The sixth annual event was even better than before. The food was better, we had a bigger audience, and ACCPF made a great amount of money, particularly with Terry McGrath's generous donation of $250,000 towards the Eco-Center (I made a similar "fund a need" donation, but with less zeroes!)
Grand Parents Day: Cheryl and I made it to this event at Comm Park I, sponsored by Soroptimists. There was art projects, karaoke, food and drink. A great idea.
Bond Issue Phone Banking: I attended the first phone banking event for the local school bond issue. The proceeds can only be used on American Canyon schools, and initial responses have been more positive than negative.
ACAF Stuff: Attended the monthly board meeting and discussed our upcoming ACHS Arts & Musicfest event, on Oct. 15; our Pumpkin Path event Oct. 1; and plans for a holiday boutique/See's Candy sale. Also prepared our post-grant report for our Arts & Culture program.
Kiwanis Stuff: Attended the monthly board meeting and approved several sponsorships (Annual Grad Night and Pumpkin Path). Also helped with food distribution.
Napa County Democratic Central Committee: the board met to interview local candidates for office.
I'm proud to be endorsed by both the NCDCC and the Democrats of Napa Valley.
Napa Community Benefits Coalition: This group met, they are still focused on Napa's General Plan update.
