Approve Agreement for Supplemental Firefighter Services, Rebecca Callen, City Administrator

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 DATE: March 15, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: APPROVE AGREEMENT FOR SUPPLEMENTAL FIREFIGHTER SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a new agreement for supplemental firefighter services between the Altaville-Melones Fire Protection District and the City of Angels.
BACKGROUND
The City of Angels approved an agreement on March 1, 2020 whereby the Altaville-Melones Fire Protection District would provide up to two (2) firefighters to augment staffing for the City Fire Department. The City has approved changing the staffing from three (3) part-time firefighters to three (3) fulltime positions with the most recent negotiations.
DISCUSSION
With the increase in staffing levels in the City Fire Department, it is anticipated that the reliance on the Altaville-Melones Fire Protection District would be cut in half. This would reduce the overall agreement from $88,695 per year to $44,347.50. This change would reduce the monthly payment from $7,391.25 to $3,695.62.
The original agreement was extended to April 1, 2022 to allow staff to make the necessary changes to the agreement and bring to Council for approval.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The savings of $44,347.50 contemplated in this agreement is used to fund the staffing augmentation I the City Fire Department.

TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Neilon, City Engineer
RE: Consideration of a Resolution Directing the Preparation of the Engineer's Report for the Continuation of the Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1 - Greenhorn Creek for FY 2022-23
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve Resolution No. 22-10 directing the preparation of the Engineer's Report for the continuation of the Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1 - Greenhorn Creek for FY 2022-23.
BACKGROUND
The City of Angels Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1 – Greenhorn Creek (District) was formed by the City Council on June 6, 1995, through the Landscape and Lighting District Act of 1972 (Act). It was created to fund the maintenance of landscaping, lighting, cultural and wildlife areas, local infrastructure, environmental mitigation services, and related improvements within the Greenhorn Creek development. In 2009 the City accepted the Greenhorn Creek public roads, including adjacent parking areas, into the City maintained street system, at that time the road maintenance responsibility was removed from the District. Every year an Engineer’s Report is prepared to establish the budget for the improvements listed in the report.
DISCUSSION
In order for the continuation of the assessments, the Act requires an annual Engineer’s Report be prepared by a licensed professional engineer. Since 2013, the District Engineer’s Report has been prepared by SCI Consulting Group from Fairfield, California. Resolution No. 22-10 directs SCI to prepare the Engineer’s Report, which is the first step in a three-step process required by the Act to continue the annual assessments for FY 2022-23.
The Engineer’s Report, based upon information provided by the City Engineer, will determine the amount of work or improvements that will be performed in the coming year and distribute the cost of that work to residents and businesses in the District. Once the report is compiled, it will be presented to the Council along with a recommendation to set a public hearing on the assessment. That public hearing is the final step in the approval process. Upon completion of the public hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution accepting the Engineer’s Report and levying the continued annual assessment.
Direction from the Council to prepare the report is required; therefore, a resolution to that effect is presented for your consideration. The City Engineer will identify the 2022-23 Work Plan and Budget. Information will be provided to SCI in order to determine the assessment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The project will be funded with Landscaping & Lighting District funds budgeted for this purpose.

RE: Initiating the Proceedings for the Formation of New Landscaping & Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 22-11 initiating proceedings for the formation of a new landscape assessment district Landscaping & Lighting District #2 - Greenhorn Creek and designating SCI Consulting Group as the Engineer of Record.
BACKGROUND
The City of Angels Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1 – Greenhorn Creek (District) was formed by the City Council on June 6, 1995, through the Landscape and Lighting District Act of 1972 (Act). It was created to fund the maintenance of landscaping, lighting, cultural and wildlife areas, local infrastructure, environmental mitigation services, and related improvements within the Greenhorn Creek development.
At 25-years old, the District is no longer meeting the expectations of the residents it was created to benefit. The District is seeing infrastructure such as footpath bridges, streetlights, and monument signs in need of major maintenance/replacement with no funds in the District budget available to accomplish this task. The District annual budget is insufficient to maintain the infrastructure in the District and aggravating the budget isthe lack of amechanism to capture annual escalation costs. The annual assessment rate is currently levied at the maximum rate ($300) and legally cannot be increased without conducting a Proposition 218 balloting.
DISCUSSION
City Staff, in consultation with SCI Consulting Group, a consultant that specializes in the formation of Landscaping and Lighting Districts (LLD), recommends the formation of a new district to replace the existing Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1 - Greenhorn Creek.
The new LLD is necessary to fund the maintenance of landscaping, lighting, cultural and wildlife areas, local infrastructure, environmental mitigation services, and related improvements within the Greenhorn Creek development with a dedicated funding source for capital replacements. The process to form this new LLD is defined by Proposition 218 and requires property owner balloting which results in a majority support for the proposed formation. In the event that District property owners do not support the new formation, the existing Lighting and Landscape District No. 1 – Greenhorn Creek will remain active.
Adoption of Resolution No. 22-11 will formally initiate proceedings pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 and compliant with Proposition 218 to form a new landscape assessment district (Landscaping & Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek) by ordering the City Engineer to prepare and file a report related to the maintenance of improvements and any assessments thereon for Fiscal Year 2022-23 and designating SCI Consulting Group as the Engineer of Work.
SCI Consulting Group will prepare an Engineer’s Report in accordance with Article 4 of Chapter 1 of the Act and Article XIIID of the California Constitution. The Engineer’s Report will describe the methodology used to develop the proposed assessment, as well as the financial details related to the proposed assessment and services to be funded by the proposed

This Resolution will preliminarily accept the Engineer’s Report, order ballots to be mailed for the proposed assessment, and set July 19, 2022 as a Public Hearing date.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of the assessment formation and engineering for the Greenhorn Creek Landscaping and Lighting District is $45,500. The project will be funded with Landscaping & Lighting District funds budgeted for this purpose.

17.85 Planning Commission Procedures, Sign Subcommittee Page - 1 DATE: March 15, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: Amy Augustine, AICP – City Planner
RE: Second Reading and adoption of Ordinance 521 Amending Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 17.85 to update Planning Commission procedures and establish a sign review subcommittee to facilitate sign review in the Historical Commercial (HC) District.
RECOMMENDATION:
Re-introduce, waive the second reading, hold a public hearing, adopt Ordinance 521 amending Angels Municipal Code Chapter 17.85 to update Planning Commission procedures and establish a sign review subcommittee to facilitate sign review in the Historical Commercial (HC) District.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Section 17.90.020(B), an amendment may be initiated by a Resolution of Intent of the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission approved Resolution of Intent 22-05 on February 10, 2022, for the above-captioned code revisions. The City Council introduced Ordinance 521 on March 1, 2022, and set March 15th for consideration of adoption.
Currently, new signs in the HC zoning district require Planning Commission approval at a regularly scheduled meeting, held once monthly. Depending on when an application is submitted, this could delay a new business’ ability to authorize printing a new sign. The Planning Commission directed staff to propose a code change establishing a subcommittee to expedite sign reviews in the HC zone and avoid potential delays for new businesses.
The following changes also are included in the proposed amendments:
1. Recognize newly created entitlements from prior code amendments including administrative conditional use permits, administrative site plan reviews, site development permits
2. Update procedures to recognize a 10-day (rather than 15-day) appeal period as previously adopted
Staff Report 17.85 Planning Commission Procedures Page - 2
3. Recognize changes in state law (e.g., removing the requirement for a public speaker to state his/her name)
4. Clarify the roles of various Planning Commission support staff
5. Remove duplicative and conflicting procedures for processing Development Agreements
6. Eliminate references to multiple committees that have not been used by the Planning Commission in favor of a Planning Committee and a Sign Review Committee
7. Establish procedures for notifying adjoining landowners
8. Remove unused and/or outdated procedures
The City received SB2 funds to assist in a comprehensive update of its Municipal Code, including this amendment.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to AMC Section 17.90.040, the following findings are required for code amendments:
Finding A: The proposal conforms with the City's General Plan and Municipal Code The proposed amendments will implement the following general plan policies and programs:
Program 1.A.b Continue to Conduct Reviews of the Angels Camp Municipal Code and General Plan for Consistency
Program 1.F.e Support Business Retention
Policy 8.B.2 Assist in retaining the special character of historic buildings, structures and districts and promote compatible development within historic districts by providing flexible development standards to encourage preservation of historic buildings, structures, sites and districts.
Program 8.B.i Establish a Review Process for Historic Structures Establish a procedure for reviewing applications for preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, alterations or additions to historic structures….Design review procedures for historic structures will consider the following:
a. Design review procedures for applications seeking approval of alterations, rehabilitations or additions to historic resources, for the purpose of issuing Certificates of Appropriateness, or equivalent
b. Criteria for staff approval of certain minor alterations… The proposed revisions will assist in streamlining the development process relative to Planning Commission project review, including expediting sign review in the HC district assisting in implementing these general plan policies and programs. The changes further ensure that the municipal code is internally consistent both with Staff Report 17.85 Planning Commission Procedures Page - 3 the general plan and internally, within the AMC itself. Therefore, the proposed changes are consistent with the general plan and the municipal code.
Finding B: The proposed changes or amendments will not be substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.
The primary purposes of the proposed code amendments are related to general plan and internal code consistency. Therefore, the changes will not be substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.
Based on the preceding, the proposed code amendments are consistent with this finding.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Pursuant to the state guidelines for implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed code amendments are exempt from further review, because the proposed amendments implement a program identified within the scope of the 2020 General Plan Environmental Impact Report adopted for the 2020 General Plan.

A. The City of Angels shall comply with the provisions of the Housing Accountability Act as provided in California Government Code Section 65589.5, and as it may be amended.
B. Special Findings for Denying and Conditioning Very Low-, Low- or Moderate-Income Housing, Farmworker Housing, Emergency Shelters
In accordance with California Government Code Section 65589.5(d)(1-5), and as it may be amended, the City shall not disapprove a housing development project, including farmworker housing as defined in Health and Safety Code subdivision (h) of Section 50199.7, for very low, low-, or moderate-income households, or an emergency shelter, or condition approval in a manner that renders the housing development project infeasible for development for the use of very low, low-, or moderate-income households, or an Housing Accountability and Low Barrier Navigation Ordinance 522 Page - 6 emergency shelter, including through the use of design review standards, unless it makes written findings, based upon a preponderance of the evidence in the record, as to one of the following:
1. The City has adopted a housing element pursuant to this article that has been revised in accordance with Section 65588, is in substantial compliance with this article, and the City has met or exceeded its share of the regional housing need allocation pursuant to Section 65584 for the planning period for the income category proposed for the housing development project, provided that any disapproval or conditional approval shall not be based on any of the reasons prohibited by Government Code Section 65008. If the housing development project includes a mix of income categories, and the jurisdiction has not met or exceeded its share of the regional housing need for one or more of those categories, then this paragraph shall not be used to disapprove or conditionally approve the housing development project. The share of the regional housing need met by the jurisdiction shall be calculated consistently with the forms and definitions that may be adopted by the Department of Housing and Community Development pursuant to Government Code Section 65400. In the case of an emergency shelter, the jurisdiction shall have met or exceeded the need for emergency shelter, as identified pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (a) of Government Code Section 65583. Any disapproval or conditional approval pursuant to this paragraph shall be in accordance with applicable law, rule, or standards; or
2. The housing development project or emergency shelter as proposed would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety, and there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the development unaffordable to low- and moderate-income households or rendering the development of the emergency shelter financially infeasible. As used in this paragraph, a “specific, adverse impact” means a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete. The following shall not constitute a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety:
a. Inconsistency with the zoning ordinance or general plan land use designation. b. The eligibility to claim a welfare exemption under subdivision (g) of Section 214 of the Revenue and Taxation Code; or
3. The denial of the housing development project or imposition of conditions is required in order to comply with specific state or federal law, and there is no feasible method to comply without rendering the development unaffordable to low- and moderate-income households or rendering the development of the emergency shelter financially infeasible; or
4. The housing development project or emergency shelter is proposed on land zoned for agriculture or resource preservation that is surrounded on at least two sides by land being used for agricultural or resource preservation purposes, or which does not have adequate water or wastewater facilities to serve the project; or Housing Accountability and Low Barrier Navigation Ordinance 522 Page - 7
5. The housing development project or emergency shelter is inconsistent with both the City’s zoning ordinance and general plan land use designation as specified in any element of the general plan as it existed on the date the application was deemed complete, and the jurisdiction has adopted a revised housing element in accordance with Government Code Section 65588 that is in substantial compliance with this article.
For purposes of this section, a change to the zoning ordinance or general plan land use designation subsequent to the date the application was deemed complete shall not constitute a valid basis to disapprove or condition approval of the housing development project or emergency shelter.
a. This paragraph cannot be utilized to disapprove or conditionally approve a housing development project if the housing development project is proposed on a site that is identified as suitable or available for very low, low-, or moderateincome households in the City’s housing element, and consistent with the density specified in the housing element, even though it is inconsistent with both the jurisdiction’s zoning ordinance and general plan land use designation. b. If the local agency has failed to identify in the inventory of land in its housing element sites that can be developed for housing within the planning period and are sufficient to provide for the jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need for all income levels pursuant to Government Code Section 65584, then this paragraph shall not be utilized to disapprove or conditionally approve a housing development project proposed for a site designated in any element of the general plan for residential uses or designated in any element of the general plan for commercial uses if residential uses are permitted or conditionally permitted within commercial designations. In any action in court, the burden of proof shall be on the local agency to show that its housing element does identify adequate sites with appropriate zoning and development standards and with services and facilities to accommodate the local agency’s share of the regional housing need for the very low, low-, and moderate-income categories. c. If the local agency has failed to identify a zone or zones where emergency shelters are allowed as a permitted use without a conditional use or other discretionary permit, has failed to demonstrate that the identified zone or zones include sufficient capacity to accommodate the need for emergency shelter identified in Government Code Section 65583 paragraph 7 of subdivision (a), or has failed to demonstrate that the identified zone or zones can accommodate at least one emergency shelter, as required by Government Code paragraph (4) of subdivision (a), then this paragraph shall not be utilized to disapprove or conditionally approve an emergency shelter proposed for a site designated in any element of the general plan for industrial, commercial, or multifamily residential uses. In any action in court, the burden of proof shall be on the local agency to show that its housing element does satisfy the requirements of paragraph (4) of subdivision (a) of Section 65583.

Discussion and Direction for Strategic Goals for 2022-23 and Next Steps for Phase II of the Strategic Plan, Rebecca Callen, City Administrator _____________________________________________________________________
C IT Y H AL L
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 1 DATE: March 15, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION FOR STRATEGIC GOALS FOR 2022-23 AND NEXT STEPS
FOR PHASE II OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN
RECOMMENDATION
Discussion and direction for Strategic Goals for the 2022-23 Budget Development and direction for the next phase for Citygate, including approval of the contract with Citygate for Phase II.
BACKGROUND
The City of Angels Council identified six (6) priority goals from the 2018 Strategic Planning Implementation to be used in the 2019-2020 Budget. It was the intention of staff to create an Annual Work Program that would guide the budget development year to year.
March 17, 2020 Drake Haglan presented the 2019/20 Accomplishments for Water and Wastewater and gave a project status report regarding the Implementation of a Capital Improvement Program.
COVID-19 derailed the City’s ability to continue on the path it had been making progress on, just days after the March 17, 2020 meeting.
On June 2, 2020 staff brought forward a proposal to have Citygate Associates, LLC work with the City staff to prepare a Financial Action Plan in Response to COVID-19.
On November 2, 2021, staff brought forward a letter of engagement to the Council to execute a contract for Phase II. At that time, it was decided to table this item awaiting a full update on the status of Phase I. Below is the list and status of all items identified.
DISCUSSION
The six (6) priority areas defined in the February 5, 2019 staff report were:
Priority Objective Completed
Policies and Procedures Update Administrative and Financial Policies and Procedures
No
Policies and Procedures Develop Monthly Financial Reports No
C IT Y H AL L
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 2 Policies and Procedures Develop Quarterly Financial Reports No Water and Sewer Focus on Capital Improvements to Support Economic Growth
Yes
Water and Sewer Continue with Rate Increase Study Yes
Water and Sewer Develop CIP and Incorporate into the Budget Process Yes Water and Sewer Focus on Maintenance and Repair Some
Tools for Staff Focus on Technology, Computers, Equipment No Growth and Business Focus on Water and Sewer Necessary to Support Growth Some Growth and Business Provide for Public Investments that Maximize Private Investment-Capital and Infrastructure
Some
Fire/Police Explore Consolidation and Campus Funding Yes Fire/Police Stabilize Police Services and Staffing Yes
TOT Match the County 12% Yes
COVID-19 in addition to staffing turnover stifled the City’s ability to complete several of the priorities listed.
Here are the areas that are being addressed or are already contemplated in the 2022-23 Budget Development:
• Staff are currently developing solutions for in-house Monthly and Quarterly Financial Reports. That should be in place by April, 2022.
• Policies and Procedures will be worked on as a critical part of 2022-23 fiscal year to help create efficiencies across departments and for the public.
• Public Works is working on a Maintenance Schedule to be implemented as part of this coming fiscal year.
• Technology has been a hurdle for the City. The City Administrator is working with vendors and assessing software solutions that will be implemented current and next fiscal year.
In addition, to those items above, staff will be coordinating with Economic Development Partners to identify areas for growth and incorporate Public/Private solutions.
C IT Y H AL L
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 3 Given the current momentum in completing the remainder of the outstanding list, the City is in a good position to have Citygate to facilitate the update and development of a 5-year strategic plan, otherwise referred to as Phase II. This is important with the turnover in Council, the changes in finances and organizational structure, and assist the City to chart a path forward.
Strategic Plans ensure that decisions are mindful of the goals set with a long look ahead, which is vitally important to the successful and stable operations of the City.
Lastly, it is the recommendation to annually, address these priorities and goals in January to incorporate in the following Budget Development memo and instructions to staff.
Staff Recommendation for the 2022-23 Budget Year:
Priority Goal
City Management Enhance the Budget document to make user-friendly City Management Incorporate a CIP Document as part of the Budget City Management Decentralize the financial system to departments Financial Policies Develop comprehensive financial policies
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The 2021-22 Budget included $65,000 for Phase II.

RE: INFORMATIONAL REPORT ON THE CITY OF ANGELS CITYGATE STRATEGIES AND
IMPLEMENTATION
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council receive this report as information.
BACKGROUND
The City of Angels initiated the development of the Citygate Report in FY 2017-2018. The Report was completed and delivered in November 2018. The goal, as written in the Citygate Report was to clarify where the City stood both operationally and financially. The study served as a foundation for strategic planning and goal setting necessary to focus the City’s energy. While the Citygate Report made clear there are no easy answers and continued investment must be made to determine what levels of services residents expect from government resources, the Report provides recommended action, a current financial analysis, and operational realities so that we can begin to take the necessary steps forward.
As the Council is aware, current cost reduction strategies alone are unsustainable. After more than 3 years of cost cutting measures, the City is wrestling deferred maintenance both structurally and administratively, salary reductions impacting recruitment, dated tools, equipment and technology, and a lack of infrastructure investment that has handcuffed the City’s economic growth. For these reasons, City Administrative Staff is engaged in an aggressive campaign to increase funding levels necessary to sustain operations of the City, while maintaining to the best extent possible the existing reduction strategies. These efforts include the sales tax initiative, recommendations to include a TOT increase on the November 2019 ballot, and delivery of a water/waste water rate increase. In parallel path, City Administrative Staff is also working to gain ground on neglected past practices including creation and refinement of policies and procedures, the development of a transparent budgetary process, the development of a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)and strategic infrastructure investments to catalyze investment and growth. All of these items, key findings from the Citygate Report.
The Citygate Report has identified several strategic goals which will become the basis for Staff direction.
The goals have been summarized in the attached. It is the plan of Administrative Staff to report progress utilizing this format on a quarterly basis. Steps toward implementation may at times appear to be small, but implementation requires both a cultural systemic change in City operations in many arenas. However, given the success in the past year, including the passing of a local sales tax measure, our City is adaptable to change and supportive of progress.
Mayor Amanda Folendorf • Vice Mayor Joe Oliveira • Council Members Linda Hermann, Veronica Metildi, Alvin Broglio City Administrator Melissa Eads • City Attorney Doug White, Churchwell White, LLP As noted in the Citygate Report, this process does not mark the end of our planning efforts. However, Staff needs time along the way for implementation of critical tasks. Implementation efforts to occupy Staff resources most immediately included alternative revenue strategies including TOT and rate increases, fine tuning of administrative and finance procedures and tools, identification of alternative organizational structures for the Museum, the delivery of a balanced budget, and recruitment and training of newly hired staff including contractors at Executive levels. Unless directed, Staff anticipates a return to further strategic planning and community engagement in 2020-2021.
DISCUSSION
The Council engaged in a min-strategic planning effort with Citygate in December 2018 to shape the priorities moving forward in 2019-2020. The effort identified 6 priority areas. It is the goals of Administrative Staff to develop and Annual Work Program to guide budget development year to year, we will get there.
For now, Staff has taken these 6 priority areas and incorporated them into the attached implementation plan. Council and the Public can see how these most immediate priories are part of a bigger picture and will be given consideration in budget development. The 6 priorities have been summarized below:
1. Policies and Procedures
a. Update Administrative and Financial Policies and Procedures b. Develop Monthly Financial Reports
c. Develop Quarterly Financial Reports
2. Water and Sewer
a. Focus on Capital Improvements to Support Economic Growth b. Continue with Rate Increase Study
c. Develop CIP and Incorporate into the Budget Process
d. Focus on Maintenance and Repair
3. Tools for Staff
a. Focus on Technology, Computers, Equipment
4. Growth and Business
a. Focus on Water and Sewer Necessary to Support Growth b. Provide for Public Investments that Maximize Private Investment-Capital and Infrastructure
5. Fire/Police
a. Explore Consolidation and Campus Funding
b. Stabilize Police Services and Staffing
6. TOT

RE: PROPOSAL TO PREPARE A FINANCIAL ACTION PLAN IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19 FOR
THE CITY OF ANGELS
Dear Ms. Eads:
Citygate Associates, LLC (Citygate) is pleased to present our proposal to City of Angels (City) to assist the City once again by developing an action plan including financial strategies in response to the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Given your overall expectations communicated to Citygate and our desire to be sensitive to the potential impact on the City’s fiscal position because of the COVID-19 crisis, Citygate recommends a two-phase approach to this engagement.
PHASE ONE
In Phase One, Citygate will review the City’s revenues and reserves, identify the anticipated financial impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on the City, and develop a recommended high-level action plan to address the anticipated impacts for the current fiscal year and the next three to five fiscal years. In the first phase, Citygate will also identify, at a high level, potential operational changes that could improve efficiency, reduce expenses, and/or enhance revenues. The components of Phase One will include:
1. Review of City revenues to determine the potential impact from the COVID-19 crisis for the remainder of Fiscal Year (FY) 2019/20 and three to five years after FY 2019/20. The primary focus will be on revenues which significantly impact the provision of services. Citygate will work with applicable City employees, as well as external financial consultants currently used by the City, to receive all applicable financial information. Since the City currently has a financial consultant that has been engaged to assist in the development of the budget for FY 2020/21, this proposal assumes that Citygate will be able to rely on the financial consultant’s review and analysis as a basis for the identification of COVID-19 revenue impacts.
This proposal also assumes that Citygate will have access to any financial Ms. Eads
May 20, 2020
information deemed necessary to accurately identify revenue impacts including past fiscal years, the current fiscal year, and anticipated future fiscal year financial activity.
2. Review of available City reserves, including cash reserves, to determine the City’s current financial strength.
3. Development of a high-level action plan to address the identified current and longterm revenue shortfalls. The high-level action plan will include:
➢ Identification of potential revenue enhancement which could be used to help address anticipated COVID-19 shortfalls.
➢ Recommendations for the level of reserves that should be used to help address COVID-19 revenue shortfalls and replenishment of these reserves. ➢ Identification of potential external revenues available to the City to address the COVID-19 crisis, such as those from federal, state, and local agencies. ➢ Identification of potential expenditure reduction options and recommendations.
➢ Identification of potential operational efficiencies. The action plan will present a high-level discussion of potential operational efficiencies such as consolidation of services and facilities, review of service provision to identify potential improvements, and potential elimination of services where continuation is not financially feasible in the long-term. ➢ Development of recommendations for dissemination of the action plan to stakeholders.
Completion of Phase One would take two months to complete at a price not to exceed $10,000 at the hourly rates presented in this proposal. No on-site travel is proposed for Phase One, and all project communication would occur via phone or videoconference. Since this engagement would take place so late in the budget process, if the City wishes to proceed with this project, Citygate recommends that the City adopt a continuing resolution instead of adopting a budget through the normal process to allow time for Citygate to complete Phase One and allow the City to operate in FY 2020/21.
Andrew Green and Jane Chambers, the two consultants that led Citygate’s 2018 organizational review and budget stabilization study for the City, will conduct Phase One.
Ms. Eads
May 20, 2020
PHASE TWO
In Phase Two, if desired by the City, Citygate will provide a more in-depth analysis of the operational efficiency options identified and discussed in Phase One and in Citygate’s previous report provided to the City in November 2018 and develop recommendations with an action plan.
Examples that could potentially be identified at the conclusion of Phase One to be analyzed in more detail in Phase Two include:
1. Detailed review of services such as police, fire, water, sewer, and streets, exploring provision models such as internal consolidation and external consolidation (including joint powers agency formation).
2. Analysis of the feasibility of continuing to provide a service and recommendations of how to effectively eliminate a service and minimize adverse impacts.
3. Analysis of the City’s current facilities/land and other City infrastructure and development of recommendations to better utilize City facilities, such as facility consolidation for City staff, sale of facilities/land that would be unnecessary due to staff consolidations, overall capital improvement needs and funding potential, etc.
The cost and timing of a second phase will depend on the City’s decision of which areas warrant a more detailed analysis. As pointed out in Citygate’s November 2018 report completed for the City, some of the operational changes identified will require extensive analysis, stakeholder input, potential service provider discussions, and City Council direction that will take time to complete.
Consequently, it is extremely difficult at this point to estimate the cost and timing of Phase Two.
Citygate recommends that after completion of Phase One, a discussion between the City and Citygate be held to clarify the areas, if any, that should be further reviewed. At that point Citygate will be in a better position to provide a proposal for a Phase Two.
Additional Citygate consultants may be needed to complete Phase Two based on the issues identified for further review.

FROM: Melissa Eads, City Administrator
RE: AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE A LETTER OF ENGAGEMENT AND DIRECTION TO
EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH CITYGATE AND ASSOCIATES IN A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $60,000 FOR STRATEGIC PLANNING.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council enter into agreement with Citygate and Associates for the update and development of a 5-year strategic plan in an amount not to exceed $60,000.
BACKGROUND
The City approved the allocation of funds to support the phase II study with the adoption of the fiscal year 2021-2022 budget.
Citygate completed the phase I report in November 2018. The work generated a 5-year plan in which the City will soon be four (4) years into. With the changes in council leadership, Staff recommends a reassessment of City finances and organization structure in order to determine effects of implementation of initial plan recommendations. Staff further recommends the consultants engage council members in a strategic planning process to identify current goals and objectives necessary to develop the next 5-year implementation plan.
The results of Citygate’s efforts have stabilized City resources and staffing, though not yet sustainable, this process of engagement with Citygate can continue to support staff and council in charting a direction necessary to address critical needs on still very limited resources.
DISCUSSION
Citygate has proposed a Scope of Work that meeting the objectives a proposed by Staff. The project is within the projected budgeted amount. The timeline may be amended upon project initiation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Council approved the budget item on July 2021.

RE: PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE STRATEGIC PLANNING AND FACILITATION ASSISTANCE TO THE
CITY OF ANGELS
Dear Ms. Eads:
Citygate Associates, LLC (Citygate) is pleased to have previously served the City of Angels (City) with an Organizational Review and Budget Stabilization Study as well as a Financial Action Plan in Response to COVID-19. Citygate is proud to recognize the City as one of our more than 300 local government agencies successfully served.
In response to your recent request, Citygate is pleased to present our proposal to provide strategic planning and facilitation assistance. Our proposal is based on the following scope of work, which you have previously reviewed. This brief engagement letter provides you with an overview of the project scope, project schedule, Project Team, and costs.
PROPOSED PROJECT SCOPE AND WORK PLAN
This project scope for this engagement will encompass two phases, with the option for a third phase.
Phase 1
The purpose of Phase 1 is to share information with the City Council regarding City finances, operations, and staff and typical Council roles. Phase 1 is expected to set the stage for Phase 2, a more in-depth discussion and development of a detailed five-year strategic plan to help the Council identify priority areas and for staff to understand the Council’s and community’s vision, priorities, and expectations and develop specific goals to facilitate implementation of the plan. Phase 1 is scheduled to be completed prior to January 31, 2022.
Ms. Eads
October 13, 2021
Phase 1 Components
The components of Phase 1 are as follows:
◆ Conduct staff interviews to gauge morale, determine prior Citygate report recommendation status, and identify issues. There will be no individual interviews with Councilmembers.
◆ Review and analyze current fiscal condition of City and identify and analyze, on a high level, current opportunities and challenges.
◆ Conduct face-to-face half-day or full-day meeting with Council and staff. The objectives and structure of this meeting would be:
➢ An introduction to Citygate.
➢ The completion and presentation of a Citygate report, which would include a review and update on the prior Citygate report, including status of recommendations, an update of fiscal condition and current issues, and a comparison of prior and current fiscal health.
➢ A presentation to the Council regarding best practices in municipal policy setting and the role of strategic planning.
➢ The completion of a general team building exercise with Council and staff to identify ways to improve interaction and to identify and effectively address issues (transparency, public interaction, staff morale, etc.). The potential structure would include:
o Having department heads make a brief presentation of what their department performs. Citygate will establish an outline that departments can follow as they focus on the top three issues their department is facing and potential ways to address these issues from a staff perspective.
o A general brainstorming exercise to identify Council priorities/goals based on Council desires. This is to obtain a general understanding of Council desires and will be revised/expanded based on results of a community survey conducted in Phase 2 of this project. ➢ A presentation to the Council outlining the general framework for the development of a five-year strategic plan to be completed in the next phase of the project. Per the Government Finance Officers Association, strategic planning is a comprehensive and systematic management tool designed to help organizations assess the current environment, anticipate and respond Ms. Eads
October 13, 2021
appropriately to changes in the environment, envision the future, increase effectiveness, develop commitment to the organization’s mission, and achieve consensus on strategies and objectives for achieving that mission.
Strategic planning is also an industry best practice. The basic components of a strategic plan are as follows:
o Community input and feedback
o Staff input and feedback
o Establishment of vision and mission statements
o Identification of goals and objectives
o Identification of tasks and responsibility assignments to achieve goals and objectives
o Monitoring of task completion and necessary revision identification process
o Periodic updating of progress.
➢ Discussion of benefits to the City of the development of a formal five-year strategic plan. Examples include:
o Allows the City to be proactive rather than reactive
o Sets up a consistent sense of direction for Council and staff, which can improve morale
o Increases operational efficiency and budget effectiveness o Improves durability of the City.
➢ Establish timeline for completion of Phase 2, which includes development of a five-year strategic plan.
Phase 2
The purpose of Phase 2 will be to build on work accomplished in Phase 1 to complete a formal five-year strategic plan for the City. Phase 2 is scheduled to be completed prior to April 30, 2022.
Phase 2 Components
The components of Phase 2 are as follows:
◆ Prepare a report for presentation to Council which would include a review of items identified in Phase 1.
Ms. Eads
October 13, 2021
◆ Complete community and staff surveys to help develop Council priorities via identification of issues/priorities for presentation to Council. ◆ Conduct a second full-day face-to-face meeting with Council and staff to include:
➢ Reporting on the results of Phase 1 activity and community and staff surveys.
➢ Assisting Council and staff with development of a five-year strategic plan via completion of a strategic planning exercise with Council, public, and staff to develop Citywide vision and mission statements, goals and objectives, metrics, tasks, task assignments and timelines, and monitoring/reporting processes.
➢ Completing a five-year strategic plan document.
➢ Establishing a timeline and items that would be completed in Phase 3 if the option is selected.
Phase 3 (Optional)
The focus of Phase 3 would be to assist the City to develop strategies to achieve the more complicated goals and objectives identified. Phase 3 would likely be completed prior to July 31, 2022.

As such, we will undertake Phases 1 and 2 of this assessment for a “not-to-exceed” total cost of $60,000 based on our proposed project Work Plan and schedule.
The price quoted is effective for 60 days from the date of receipt of this proposal and includes one draft review cycle of the Phase 1 and 2 project reports, to be reviewed by the City within 14 calendar days of the City receiving draft documents. Additional draft review cycles or processing delays requested by the City would be billed in addition to the contracted amount at Citygate’s time and materials rates. When changes are agreed upon, Citygate will provide final documents in reproducible PDF.

TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL REVIEW FEBRUARY 2022 AND APPROVAL OF BUDGET
AMENDMENTS
RECOMMENDATION
County Administrator Financial Review and Council Discussion of Revenue and Expenditures through February 2022 and approve the budget amendment for the Cannabis Grant.
BACKGROUND
The Council used to receive monthly financial information from staff. Due to COVID and staffing changes, that practice ended. Going forward, staff will bring an overview to Council the second meeting of every month to discuss the health of the budget as well as make recommendations for any budget amendments requiring Council action.
DISCUSSION
The focus of this financial review encompasses budget units and funds under the control of the City Council. Funds held in a fiduciary capacity are not part of this review.
February marks the 8th month of the fiscal year where revenues and expenses should be roughly 66% of the budgeted amount. A review using that threshold was done for all transactions through February 28, 2022.

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Overall, the City Funds (inclusive of Transfers In) revenues are at 48.25% while expenses are only 39.56% of budget.
Notable points are as follows:
General Fund
The General Fund is where the primary operations of the City occur for Police, Fire, Administration, Finances, Building, and Planning.
Revenues $2,669,825
Expenses $2,258,480
Net $411,345
Revenues are 72.66% for the year, or 6.66% higher than anticipated for this period of the fiscal year. The major contributors to this are:
• Transient Occupancy is currently $140,650 higher that budget and is anticipated to continue this trend for the remainder of the year.
• Property Taxes are $200,000 higher than budgeted for this period • Sales Tax are $14,000 higher than historical trends
• Prop 172 is $13,000 higher than historical trends
Expenses are 52.60% for the year or 13.40% under budget for this period of the year. The main contributing factor is savings in overall Salaries for permanent, part time, and overtime.
The other expense classifications are generally underbudget due to staff waiting for updated budget information to start making purchasing decisions. Administration will start working with departments on making the budgeted purchases as required.
Transportation Projects
This fund includes Project funding from RSTP, CMAQ, ATP, HSIP, HIP and SB1 sources. Specifically, the Sidewalk Project has ramped up and reimbursement claims are currently being spent. The negative amount shown is merely a cashflow consideration that will be cleared upon receipt of the funding pieces.

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Revenues $603,337
Expenses $1,420,441
Net $(817,104)

The negative amount shown is merely a cashflow consideration that will be cleared upon receipt of the funding pieces.
Sewer Operations and Management
Just as the title suggests, operations and management associated with Wastewater occurs here. Overall revenues are 74.39% while expenses are 47.61%.
• Rate revenue is slightly down from the prior year actuals. However, in terms of budget, the current trend is projected to exceed budget by $150,000 overall • Salary savings and other service costs are trending lower than budgeted • The one area to watch is the chemical costs. Those are trending higher than anticipated. However, internal transfers can accommodate this.
• Utility Late Fees have not been charged this entire year Water Operations and Management
Just as the title suggests, operations and management associated with Water Distribution occurs here.
Overall revenues are 67% while expenses are 58.35%.
• Just as with wastewater rates, water rate revenue is slightly down from the prior year trends.
However, it is trending higher than budget by 2% or $30,000. • Utility Late Fees, Door Hanger Fees, and Restoration fees have not been charged this entire year.
The other City Special Revenue funds are trending as normal.

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 The top departmental expenditures are from Police, which is at 56.02% of budget, GF Grant Projects which is at 37.18% of budget (Includes the Sidewalk project), and Finance and Administration which is at
65.38% of budget. It is important to note that Insurance is paid at the beginning of the year in the Finance and Administration budget.
All Departments are within the budget threshold of 66% of Expenses.
The Police Department received a Cannabis Grant to pay for equipment, training, and overtime.
Department 6100 – Police requires an increase of revenue with an offsetting increase of expenses for their budget in the General Fund. The total of the grant is $46,500.
As noted above, the revenue associated with grant funded projects is awaiting receipt. As such, the General GF Grant Department is at 17.93% of budgeted revenue.
Staff were just given the budget instructions and worksheet for 2022-23 Budget Development. Meeting will occur to identify departmental goals for the year, grant opportunities, and project delivery schedules.
