TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENT FOR AUGUSTINE PLANNING ASSOCIATES IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,663
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a contract adjustment for the overage of $1,663 to the Augustine Planning Associates
BACKGROUND
The City of Angels contracts for Planning services with Amy Augustine through Augustine Planning Associates. The contract is for an annual amount, not to exceed$90,000 per fiscal year without written authorization from the City.
DISCUSSION
Due to additional work related to processing Community Development Block Grant amendments from economic-related Utica park-related funding, the amount of time Ms. Augustine exceeded the $90,000 threshold by $1,663.
The addition of several grant-funded projects, in addition to, progress on development and planning projects is likely to push the cost of resources beyond the threshold for 2022-23 as well. As we identify these potential impacts, staff will bring forward the requested amendments accordingly.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The 2021-22 budget can absorb the additional costs.

Location: Assessor’s Parcel 058-025-017, 0.87± acre, 374 South Main (Figure 1).
1. General Plan Amendment from Community Commercial (CC) to High Density Residential (HDR)
2. Rezoning from Community Commercial (CC) to Multi-Family Residential (R-3)
BACKGROUND
The City is undertaking a comprehensive city-wide rezoning to bring all parcels into compliance with General Plan 2020 land use designations in conjunction with an SB2 Grant. In reaching out to landowners, some have expressed a desire to amend their general plan land use designations from those identified in General Plan 2020. These changes also generally trigger a rezoning. This is one of those parcels.
As required by the Angels Municipal Code, the Planning Commission considered a Resolution of Intent at its public hearing on August 11, 2022.
Heryford GPA/RZ -1
ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to Angels Municipal Code Section 17.90.040, prior to recommending or approving a general plan amendment and/or rezoning, the planning commission shall make all the following findings:
A. The proposed change or amendment is consistent with the City of Angels Municipal Code; and B. The proposed change or amendment is consistent with the City of Angels general plan; and C. The proposed change or amendment will not be substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.
An analysis of these findings follows.
Findings A & B: The proposed amendment conforms with the City of Angels Municipal Code and General Plan
The purposes of the High Density Residential general plan land use designation are:
To provide for a variety of housing needs at all income levels throughout the city at a higher density than allowed in other residential districts. While single-family and two- family dwellings may be allowed, the High Density Residential designation is intended primarily for triplexes, apartments, dwelling groups, condominiums and townhouses, senior housing projects, and multi-family dwellings.
Grouped or clustered single-family dwellings, including small lot (cottage) development also is appropriate. Cooperative housing developments and Tri-Level Living Communities also are encouraged on lands designated as High Density Residential.
High Density Residential developments generally will be located close to commercial or other services and near major streets and thoroughfares for convenient access. High Density Residential developments typically will be located throughout the city and not concentrated in a single location.
Figure 2 shows surrounding general plan land use and zoning designations near the subject parcel. Figure 3 further illustrates the surrounding general plan land use designations.
As illustrated, the subject parcel is it is located within very close walking distance to medical services, a post office, grocery stores, schools, and commercial uses. Major transit stops are located across SR 49 near Bret Harte High School and on the project side of SR 49 at the Savemart Shopping Center. Based on the parcel’s location, it is well-suited to high density residential use.
The parcel was, at the time General Plan 2020 was established part of a larger parcel that bordered SR 49.
Therefore, it was assigned a Community Commercial General Plan land use designation. More recently, a parcel map created the subject parcel from the larger parcel. The parcel is now a stand alone parcel that no longer borders SR 49. The newly created parcel is bounded on the south and west by the Bighorn Mobilehome Park which also carries a general plan land use designation of high density residential (HDR) and is zoned Multi- Family Residential (R-3). Community Commercial adjoins the property to the north and west. The parcel has, in effect, become a transitional parcel between commercial uses bordering SR 49 and high density and single- family residential uses that sit back from SR 49.

Figure 1: Project Location Access:
Based on the preceding, the proposed general plan amendment is consistent with the intent and purposes of General Plan 2020.
Per Angels Municipal Code Section 17.24.010, the purposes of the Multi-Family (R-3) zoning district are nearly identical to the purposes and intent of the High Density Residential general plan land use designation. The purposes of R-3 are to implement the city general plan’s high density residential (HDR) land use and the city’s general plan housing element. The purposes of the district are to provide for a wide variety of housing needs and choices at all income levels throughout the city at a higher density than allowed in other residential districts. While single-family and two-family dwellings may be allowed, the district is intended primarily for higher densities and alternative forms of housing. High density residential developments generally will be located close to commercial or other services and near major streets and thoroughfares for convenient access.
High density residential developments typically will be located throughout the city and not concentrated in a single location. As discussed above, the site is locationally well-suited to the stated purpose of the R-3 zoning district.
Potential permitted and conditional uses in the R-3 zoning district are included in Attachment A. Per the General Plan and Angels Municipal Code, design standards for High Density Residential/R-3 properties allow for:
Heryford GPA/RZ -3
• Fifteen dwelling units per gross acre density. Higher densities are possible through density bonuses granted for the provision of affordable housing for households of low or very low income in accordance with the general plan.
• Maximum impervious surfaces: 60%. Maximum impervious surfaces 70% for Cottage Residential zoning only. Impervious surfaces totaling up to 75% are permitted for projects providing housing for low or very low income households in accordance with the general plan. • A minimum of 20% landscaping is required for this land use. Landscaping may be reduced to 15% with the provision of housing for low or very low income households in accordance with the general plan.
Without a density bonus, the 0.87± acre parcel would allow for up to 13 multi-family dwelling units. Because the subject parcel is relatively flat, that density could be accommodated with a multi-story building(s). Fewer single units could be accommodated. Adequate access width has been granted to the site via an easement through the post office parcel from SR 49. The City Fire Department has reviewed the dedicated access for the site and found that access can be constructed to meet state accessibility standards pursuant to the fire code. Development as a multi-family residential parcel will require 20% landscaping which also could be accommodated given the site’s topography.
Based on the preceding, the site is suited to the allowable density and the potential multi-family land uses that could occur on the site with the proposed general plan amendment and rezoning.
Pursuant to General Plan Land Use Table 1-5, the HDR general plan land use designation is consistent with the Multi-Family Residential (R-3) zoning district.
Based on all of the preceding, Findings A and B can be made.
FINDING C: The proposed change or amendment will not be substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the city.
The proposed project was circulated to landowners within 300 feet of the project site. One question was received by the adjacent motel/hotel asking if the proposed change would affect their parcel. Staff responded that the proposal, if granted, could allow for multi-family residential uses on the parcel which currently allows commercial uses. No further correspondence has been received from the adjoining landowner.
As previously noted, the City Fire Department reviewed the proposed project and stated that future development on the site could, with the dedicated access easement to the site through the post office parcel, to meet state fire accessibility standards. The City Engineer and Fire Department indicate that sufficient fire flow is expected to be available to the site for potential multi-family uses.
Based on the preceding, Finding C can be made.

6 ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS:
The project is exempt from the state guidelines for implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15183 of CEQA which states that projects which are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site. T he existing Community Commercial zoning allows for a mixed residential/commercial use as a permitted use as contemplated in General Plan 2020 EIR. There are no potential project-specific effects anticipated that would be peculiar to this site based on the extensive development which has occurred on portions of the site and surrounding the site. Designating a portion of the site as multi-family adjacent to the Community Commercial District maintains the same balance of residential and commercial mixed uses as was contemplated in the original general plan 2020 EIR, it simply identifies where the residential uses will be concentrated within the overall area (i.e., commercial uses are being concentrated along SR 49 and the residential portion is being concentrated to the rear of the area).

2. Boundary Line Adjustment to add 0.56± acre to MACT properties (Figures 2 and 3)
3. Rezoning from Public (P) to Community Commercial (CC) – Figure 1
BACKGROUND
The City is selling a portion of APN 058-015-011 to the Mariposa Amador Calaveras Tuolumne (MACT) Health Board (Figure 1). The City Council has approved the sale. The site is being used as a parking lot currently being leased by MACT from the City. The City Police and Fire Departments have determined that this portion of the site will not be used for the City Safety Campus pursuant to adopted designs for that facility. This general plan amendment and rezone are being undertaken to reflect the change in ownership. The boundary line adjustment is necessary to add the property subject to the purchase to existing MACT properties and remove it from existing City properties (Figures 2 and 3).
MACT General Plan Amendment and Rezone - 2
ANALYSIS:
General Plan Amendment and Rezoning
Pursuant to Angels Municipal Code Section 17.90.040, prior to recommending or approving a general plan amendment and/or rezoning, the City Council shall make all the following findings:
A. The proposed change or amendment is consistent with the City of Angels Municipal Code; and
B. The proposed change or amendment is consistent with the City of Angels general plan; and C. The proposed change or amendment will not be substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.
An analysis of these findings follows.
FINDING A AND B: The proposed change or amendment is consistent with the City of Angels Municipal Code; and the proposed change or amendment is consistent with the City of Angels general plan.
Pursuant to the General Plan Land Use Element, the Community Commercial (CC) general plan land use designation is intended to:
• To provide a broad range of light-to-moderate intensity commercial uses for residents and visitors.
• Typical resident-serving uses include grocery and specialty stores, schools, public facilities, multi-family housing in association with commercial uses; professional offices including: real estate offices, medical offices, consulting services; small businesses; community recreational facilities
• Typical visitor-serving uses include hotels, motels, restaurants, visitor centers, museums, theaters, visitor-serving recreational facilities • To provide live-work opportunities by allowing upper level residential uses above commercial establishments (e.g., mixed use)
Location
Generally located along major thoroughfares, particularly at city gateways.
As stated above, the CC land use is consistent with museums and medical offices. Both a museum (previously approved by the Planning Commission) and medical offices are present on that portion of the parcel being sold to MACT. The parking lot will serve those uses.
MACT General Plan Amendment and Rezone - 3
Similarly, pursuant to Chapter 17.27.010 of the Angels Municipal Code, the community commercial (CC) zoning district is intended to
Implement the city general plan’s community commercial (CC) land use designation. The purposes and intent of the district are:
To provide a broad range of light-to-moderate intensity commercial uses for residents and visitors, with an emphasis on resident-serving. Typical resident-serving uses include grocery and specialty stores, schools, public facilities, multifamily housing in association with commercial uses; professional offices including real estate offices, medical offices, consulting services; small businesses; community recreational facilities. Typical visitorserving uses include hotels, motels, restaurants, visitor centers, museums, theaters, visitorserving recreational facilities. The zone is also intended to provide live-work opportunities by allowing upper-level residential uses above commercial establishments (e.g., mixed use).
Consistent with the general plan, the CC zoning district is generally expected to extend along major thoroughfares from (but not including) the city’s historical commercial (HC) Figure 1: Project Site, Area of Rezone and General Plan Amendment - 200 Monte Verda Street MACT General Plan Amendment and Rezone - 4
zoning district northward to the intersection of SR 4 and SR 49 (i.e., the central portion of the city’s commercial districts).
The project site is located in the central portion of the City between the SR 4/49 intersection and the Historical Commercial District. Therefore, the location of the proposed rezoning is consistent with the City’s municipal code. Per AMC Sections 17.27.010 and 17.27.020 (Permitted Uses), museums and medical offices are permitted uses in the Community Commercial zoning district. A parking lot is an accessory use for both primary uses.
Therefore, the proposed rezoning is consistent with the Angels Municipal Code.
Pursuant to Table 1-5, the Public (P) land use designation is consistent with all zoning districts.
Therefore, the project is consistent with the general plan.
Based on the preceding, Findings A and B may be made.
FINDING C: The proposed change or amendment will not be substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.
Property owners within 300 feet were notified of the proposed project. To date, no one has responded. If any responses are received prior to the public hearing, staff will present them to the commission.
The police and fire departments have reviewed the proposal and have no objections. The ability to drive emergency vehicles through the parking lot from the City Safety Campus to SR 49 will be retained.
Based on the preceding, Finding C can be made.
Boundary Line Adjustment
Pursuant to Chapter 16.32 of the Angels Municipal Code, the following findings are required for approval of a boundary line adjustment.
Finding: The proposed lot line adjustment is consistent with the City of Angels Municipal Code and meets the standards for the Central (Community) Commercial zoning district (Chapter 17.27):
The Minimum lot area for new lots in the CC zone is 5,000 square feet. The resulting lot will be
2.02 acres. Therefore, the new lot is consistent. The minimum lot width for the CC Zone is 40 feet. The lot width exceeds 150 feet. Therefore, the new lot is consistent. The minimum lot depth in the CC zone is 80 feet. The resulting lot depth is more than 400 feet. Therefore, the new lot is consistent.
Based on the preceding, this finding can be made.
Finding: The proposed lot line adjustment is consistent with the City of Angels General Plan. The Community Commercial zoning district is consistent with the Community Commercial general plan land use designation subject to approval or Resolution 22-51.
Based on the preceding, this finding can be made.
MACT General Plan Amendment and Rezone - 5
Finding: The proposed lot line adjustment is consistent with City of Angels Municipal Code Chapter 16.32
The proposed boundary line adjustment will result in a parcel with consistent zoning and general plan land use designations subject to approval of a general plan land use amendment from Public to Community Commercial (subject to approval or Resolution 22-51) and subject to approval of Ordinance 531 (rezoning the property from Public to Community Commercial).
Based on the preceding, this finding can be made subject to attached conditions.
Based on all of the preceding, the proposed boundary line adjustment is conditionally approved (See attached conditions to Resolution 22-51)
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS:
The general plan amendment and rezoning are exempt from the state guidelines for the implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), the Common-Sense Exemption, which states that CEQA only applies to projects with the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The proposed project is being undertaken to reflect a change in parcel ownership. No physical changes to the environment will occur. Therefore, it is exempt from CEQA.
The boundary line adjustment is exempt from the state guidelines for the implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15305, Class 5 of CEQA which states that minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20%, which do not result in any changes in land use or density, including but not limited to:
Minor lot line adjustments, not resulting in the creation of any new parcel are exempt from CEQA. The proposed project site has slopes of less than 20%, will not change land use density and will not result in the creation of a new parcel (two parcels exist prior to the adjustment and two parcels will exist after the adjustment).
None of the exceptions contained in CEQA Section 15300.2 apply to this project. No impact to may occur on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern. No such hazards or critical areas are precisely mapped or officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies on the site. The accumulation of the site’s previous merger of two parcels combined with the present boundary line adjustment have occurred on paper only and there is no cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time that is significant. There is no reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The site is not adjacent to a designated scenic highways and will not damage a scenic resources. No known hazardous waste sites exist on the site and no historical resources are identified on the site.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends:
A. Approving Resolution 22-52
B. Introducing, waiving the first reading, holding a public hearing, and setting September 6, 2022, for a second public hearing to consider adopting Ordinance 532.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Owner/Applicant: City of Angels
Assessor’s Parcel 060-014-001 (Figure 1)
1. General Plan Amendment from Historical Commercial (HC) to Public (P)
2. Rezone from Historical Commercial (HC) to Public (P)
BACKGROUND
The City closed escrow purchasing the subject parcel on August 9, 2022. The parcel is intended to be used to create an improved entrance to Utica Park and provide additional parking (Figure 2). This general plan amendment and rezone are being undertaken to reflect the change in ownership. The Planning Commission considered a Resolution of Intent 22-20 at its August 11, 2022, meeting for the proposed general plan amendment and rezoning.
ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to Angels Municipal Code Section 17.90.040, prior to recommending or approving a general plan amendment and/or rezoning, the City Council shall make all the following findings:
A. The proposed change or amendment is consistent with the City of Angels Municipal Code; and
B. The proposed change or amendment is consistent with the City of Angels general plan; and C. The proposed change or amendment will not be substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.
An analysis of these findings follows.
Figure 1: Project Site
FINDING A AND B: The proposed change or amendment is consistent with the City of Angels Municipal Code; and the proposed change or amendment is consistent with the City of Angels general plan.
Pursuant to the General Plan Land Use Element, the Public (P) general plan land use designation is intended to:
Accommodate both public and quasi-public uses for those agencies that serve as their own Lead Agency when conducting environmental reviews (e.g., government buildings, schools, transportation facilities, public utilities, special districts). To allow for public-private partnerships in the furtherance of General Plan goals, policies, and programs.
Location
Government buildings, schools, transportation facilities, public utilities, special districts and similar uses. Public and quasi-public uses may be located throughout the city.
Similarly, pursuant to Chapter 17.36.010 of the Angels Municipal Code, the Public (P) zoning district is intended to
A. Accommodate public and quasi-public uses for those agencies that serve as their own lead agency pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and/or National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); and
B. Acknowledge the limited ability of the city to impose regulations on land under the jurisdiction of public agencies and most quasi-public agencies including local, state, and federal governments, public utilities, and special districts; and Figure 2: Proposed Use of Site - Angels Camp Main Street Plan C. Accommodate government buildings, schools, transportation facilities, public utilities, special districts, and similar uses in support of the city.
Public and quasi-public uses may be located throughout the city.
As noted, the city is purchasing the property and is a public agency. Reflective of its ownership, the parcel should be designated as Public. The future use is expected to be a parking lot and roadway. The proposed ownership and use are consistent with the intents and purposes of the general plan and municipal code.
Pursuant to Table 1-5, the Public (P) land use designation is consistent with all zoning districts.
Therefore, the project is consistent with the general plan.
Based on the preceding, Findings A and B may be made.
FINDING C: The proposed change or amendment will not be substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.
Property owners within 300 feet were notified of the proposed project. To date, no one has responded. If any responses are received prior to the public hearing, staff will present them to the commission.
Based on the preceding, Finding C can be made.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS:
The project is exempt from the state and county guidelines for the implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), the CommonSense Exemption, which states that CEQA only applies to projects with the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The proposed project is being undertaken to reflect a change in parcel ownership. No physical changes to the environment will occur. Therefore, it is exempt from CEQA.

RE: Introduce, waive first reading, hold a public hearing, and set September 6, 2022, to consider Ordinance 528 adding Chapter 8.04 Edible Food Waste Recovery to the Angels Municipal Code (AMC)
RECOMMENDATION:
Introduce, waive first reading, hold a public hearing, and set September 6, 2022, to consider Ordinance 528 adding Chapter 8.04 Edible Food Waste Recovery to the Angels Municipal Code (AMC).
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 Considered Resolution of Intent 22-21 at its August 11th meeting. The proposed changes described above are necessary for compliance with state regulations.
SB 1383, the Short-lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act of 2016, codified as Chapter 12 of Division 7 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, required CalRecyle to develop regulations to reduce organics in landfills as a source of methane including, but not limited to, regulations requiring local governments, commercial edible food generators, food recovery organizations, and food recovery services to support achievement of the states’ organic waste disposal reduction targets.
The measures, additionally, assist in supplying additional sources of food for the food insecure.
SB 1383 requires local governments to adopt and enforce an ordinance or enforceable mechanism to implement SB 1383. The regulations require commercial edible food generators, as defined by state law and herein, to arrange to have the maximum amount of edible food that would otherwise be disposed of, recovered for human consumption.
SB 1383 also requires local governments to provide education and outreach information concerning edible food recovery programs, to engage in edible food recovery capacity planning and to develop a mechanism for inspections and enforcement while complying with CalRecycle’s recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
Because the City of Angels meets the definition of a Rural Jurisdiction as defined in Public Resources Code Section 42649.8; the City applied to and received from CalRecycle a Rural Exemption in compliance with Section 18984.12(c) of Chapter 12 (Short-lived Climate Pollutants) of Division 7 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (“SB 1383 Regulations” or “Regulations”) pursuant to City Council Resolution 21-54 approved December 7, 2021. Therefore, the City of Angels is not subject to other provisions of SB 1383, Article 3 Organic Waste Collection Services,
8.04 Edible Food Waste Recovery Page - 1
Section 18992.1 of Article 11 Organic Waste Capacity Planning, and Sections 18993.1 and .2 of Article 12 Procurement of Recovered Organic Waste Products through December 21, 2026.
The proposed ordinance requires education of affected parties through January 1, 2024; before official enforcement actions will be taken. This ordinance provides the state-mandated framework for the program. Upon adoption, the City will undertake citywide education related to the recovery and reporting requirements for affected agencies.
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, or facilitate implementing, the following general plan programs which are also mitigation measures for the general plan:
Policy 9.A.5 Emphasize the reduction of air emissions (including greenhouse gas emissions) generated from sources located within the City of Angels and under City control. [2020 GENERAL PLAN MITIGATION MEASURE, MM-AIR-03]
Policy 9.A.7 Reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses, counteract the effects of, and protect the City’s residents from the effects of global warming to the maximum extent feasible. [2020 GENERAL PLAN MITIGATION MEASURE, MM-AIR-03]
Implementation Program 9.A.j: Participate in and Support Regional Air Quality Planning Efforts and Implement Adopted Plans where Mandated by Law
Based on the preceding, adoption of the proposed code amendment, as mandated by state law in the Short-lived climate pollution reduction act of 2016, will reduce emissions in compliance with general plan policies and Implementation Program 9.A.j.
The program does not conflict with any existing provisions of the City of Angels 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 proposed change will provide an additional food source to the food insecure while reducing waste and assisting in the reduction of emissions. Therefore, the proposed change will assist in improving the health and general welfare of the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
The proposed code amendment is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15308, Class 8, of the state guidelines for the implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because the amendment consists of actions taken by the city, as authorized by state law, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment and the state law provides the procedures for protecting the environment.

The city finds and declares:
A. SB 1383, the Short-lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act of 2016, required CalRecyle to develop regulations to reduce organics in landfills as a source of methane including, but not limited to, regulations requiring local governments, commercial edible food generators, food recovery organizations, and food recovery services to support achievement of the states’ organic waste disposal reduction targets.
B. SB 1383, codified as Chapter 12 of Division 7 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, requires local governments to adopt and enforce an ordinance or enforceable mechanism to implement SB 1383 regulations applicable to their jurisdiction. The regulations requires commercial edible food generators, as defined by state law and herein, to arrange to have the maximum amount of edible food that would otherwise be disposed of, recovered for human consumption.
C. SB 1383 also requires local governments to provide education and outreach information concerning edible food recovery programs, to engage in edible food recovery capacity planning and to develop a mechanism for inspections and enforcement while complying with CalRecycle’s recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
D. The City of Angels meets the definition of a Rural Jurisdiction as defined in Public Resources Code Section 42649.8 and applied to and received from CalRecycle a Rural Exemption in compliance with Section 18984.12 (c) of Chapter 12 (Short-lived Climate Pollutants) of Division 7 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (“SB 1383 Regulations” or “Regulations”)

1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:
Ordinance: Amending Angels Camp Municipal Code Section 14, to remove 14.25.030 Service Discontinuance
2. SYNOPSIS:
Amending Angels Camp Municipal Code Section 14.25, to remove 14.25.030 Service Discontinuance
DISCUSSION
It is not an uncommon practice to continue to charge the base rates regardless of whether the occupant is living in the home or not. Union Public Utility District, Calaveras County Water District, Calaveras Public Utility District, and Murphys Sanitary District do not allow the practice of suspending service charges because of a vacancy. A homeowner can certainly shut off their water due to concerns of leaks while they are away. However, the agency will continue to bill.
City staff has been allowing suspension of service charges for BOTH Water and Sewer under two conditions:
• For landlords/property owners who have changes in tenants, vacancies, or remodeling • For property owners who go on vacation
In both cases, staff was allowing the suspension to occur for UNDER 30 days and for BOTH water and sewer, both of which were outside the requirements of the existing policy. In addition, the staff was not charging the fee for disconnection or the charge for the reconnection. The current fee for each is $38.00.
The practice of shutting off water has been permitted by the City under Ordinance 273 adopted in 1985:

14.25.030 Service discontinuance
Any person who desires to discontinue water service shall submit a request in writing or in person at the commercial office not less than two working days before the date on which the discontinuance is desired. The request shall contain the date upon which water service is to be discontinued and a forwarding address for the customer. Water service may be discontinued only on ordinary working days. After the effective date of discontinuance, all charges accruing cease for the period. No service may be discontinued for a period of less than thirty days.
The direction was given to staff to move forward with publishing the recommended change and bring it back to Council for the first and second reading and ultimate action to amend ordinance 273. Following the second reading, staff will request approval of the amendment and adoption of the new resolution for Suspension of Services.
The first publication was made

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ANGELS CITY COUNCIL APPROVING THE
RESOLUTION OF SUSPENSION OF SERVICE
WHEREAS, the City Base Water and Wastewater Rates include the ongoing Operations, Maintenance, and Capital repair charges; and
WHEREAS, suspension of such charges should not occur unless damage to a structure prevents habitation;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City of Angels City Council as follows:
Section 1. Suspension of Services. The City will not allow suspension of monthly water and/or wastewater charges under normal circumstances unless one of the following has occurred to a residential property owner:
o Damage to 75% or more of the structure that renders the structure uninhabitable.
o Issuance by a government agency of a “non-occupancy” order for a structure.
o Other circumstances beyond the personal control of an owner that prevents habitation of a structure or use of the City water and/or wastewater systems for at least six (6) months.
Disconnection of water and wastewaterservices as a result of non-payment of fees by the owner does not cause suspension of monthly service fees covered by this policy.
Suspension of services requires disconnection of water on the impacted property and all outstanding fees paid, including a disconnection fee. The suspension period shall be a minimum of six (6) months but may not exceed two (2) years. Such suspension shall require the approval of the City Administrator. The Suspension shall cover all services provided by the City, both water and wastewater, for the same duration.
The owner must notify the City at least forty-eight (48) hours (excluding weekends and Holidays) and pay the current restoration fee before City staff restoring services. If an owner does not restore services within two (2) years, automatic termination of the suspension will occur, the restoration fee will be added to the account and monthly service and consumption charges will be reinstated.
If anyCity facilities are found to be in use during such time asservice has been suspended, the owner will immediately become liable for the monthly water and wastewater service and consumption charges that would have been billed during the suspension period.

FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: DISCUSSION AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 22-53 APPROVING THE INVESTMENT POLICY GOVERNING THE INVESTMENT OF THE CITY’S POOLED TREASURY FUNDS AND
DELEGATING INVESTMENT AUTHORITY TO THE CITY TREASURER
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution 22-53 Approving the investment policy governing the Investment of the City’s pooled treasury funds and delegating investment authority to the City Treasurer.
BACKGROUND
The City has an Investment Policy written in 2008 that did not have a corresponding resolution or ordinance that can be located. A policy is required to ensure that the City is adhering to statutes and designating the authority for investing and reporting to Council.
DISCUSSION
The City has historically been invested in a general operating account and LAIF. A robust investment policy is needed to ensure that the City and its staff are adhering to statutes and best practices. A policy was drafted in 2008. However, that policy had no resolution or ordinance associated with it, was not followed, and was mainly guidance for internal fund segregation and investment guidance, not in compliance with the statute.
The adoption of this resolution and incorporation into our policies and practice ensures transparency and protection of the City assets. Additionally, this policy allows the designees to expand the current investment portfolio in accordance with the stipulations in policy, controlling risk, growing assets, and maintaining operational liquidity.

Although the City of Angels policy generally provides the City Treasurer with the authority to deposit and invest funds in the City Treasury, the undertaking of the investment activities by the City Treasurer is subject to the annual delegation of investment authority from the City Council as the body is primarily responsible for the investment of City funds.

I. Governing Authority; Scope
Section 2 of the City of Angels municipal code vests the City Treasurer with authority to deposit and invest funds of the City treasury, subject to the annual delegation of investment authority from the City Council to the City Treasurer pursuant to Government Code section 53607. These policies shall apply to the City Treasurer’s investment of City treasury funds.
The City Treasurer investment program for all treasury funds shall be operated in conformance with applicable federal, state, and other legal requirements. This policy statement isintended to conform to Government Code sections 53600, et seq, and interpretation of these policies shall be consistent with those statutes.
II. Objectives
A. Primary Objectives
The primary objectives of investment activities, in order of priority, are safety, liquidity, and yield:
1. Safety
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective is to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk.
Resolution 22-53022-xx0199 August 16June 21, 2022 Page 7 of 15 (a) Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer or backer.
The City will minimize credit risk by:
(i) Limiting investments to the types of securities listed in Section VI of this Investment Policy (ii) Re‐qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers, intermediaries, and advisers with which the City will do business in accordance with Section IV. (iii) Diversifying the investment portfolio so that the impact of potential losses from any one type of security or from any one individual issuer will be minimized. (b) Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in market interest rates. The City will minimize interest rate risk by:
(i) Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity
(ii) Investing operating funds primarily in shorter‐term securities, money market mutual funds, the Local Agency Investment Fund (“LAIF”) managed by the State of California, or similar investment pools and limiting the average maturity of the portfolio in accordance with this policy.
2. Liquidity
The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity). Alternatively, a portion of the portfolio may be placed in money market mutual funds or LAIF which offer same‐day liquidity for short‐term funds.
The staff of the City Treasurer’s Office shall (i) monitor the City’s budget formation and approval process and (ii) actively engage with City staff to assess and manage cash flow needs of the City.
3. Yield
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The core of investments is limited to relatively low‐risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the low level of risk being assumed.
Securitiesshall generally be held until maturity with the following exceptions:
(a) A security with declining value may be sold early to minimize loss of principal.
Resolution 22-53022-xx0199 August 16June 21, 2022 Page 8 of 15 (b) A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio. (c) Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold. (d) Where the sale of the security to realize capital gains is advisable in the judgment of the investment officers.
B. Other Objectives
1. Pooling of Funds
Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping, and administration.
Investment income will be allocated to the various funds proportionately based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The pooling of funds shall have no effect on the legal character of the pooled funds, i.e. funds whose use is restricted by law shall remain restricted and cannot be used as part of the City’s general fund.
III. Standards of Care
A. Prudence
In accordance with Government Code section 53600.3, the standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the "prudent person" standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures developed by the City Treasurer and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided extraordinary deviations from expectations are reported by subordinate investment officers to the City Treasurer in a prompt fashion and that the sale of securities is carried out in accordance with the terms of this policy.
Pursuant to the "prudent person" standard, investment officers shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Funds shall be managed not for speculation where the sole goal of a transaction is to increase principal balances, but for investment intended to earn a reasonable rate of return on invested funds, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived. Despite that investment transactions are undertaken with care pursuant to the “prudent person” standard, it is recognized that invested funds are subject to the vagrancies of the markets beyond the control of the investment Resolution 22-53022-xx0199 August 16June 21, 2022 Page 9 of 15 officers.
B. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with the proper execution and management of the investment program, or that could impair their ability to make impartial decisions. Employees and investment officials shall disclose any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business. They shall further disclose any personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and investment officers shall refrain from undertaking personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City.
Investment officers shall file State Fair Political Practices Commission’s Statement of Economic Interests and make the disclosures required by the City’s conflict of interest policies.
C. Delegation of Authority
Authority to manage the City treasury investment program is granted to the City Treasurer pursuant to municipal code section 2, unless statute specifically indicates otherwise, subject to annual delegation of investment authority by the City Council pursuant to Government Code section 53607. T he City Treasurer also is authorized to appoint deputies and employees, as prescribed by Council resolution, to implement the investment program. The City Treasurer and those employees appointed by the Treasurer to perform investment activities pursuant to these policies shall be referred to herein collectively as “investment officers.”
Investment officers shall act in accordance with established written procedures and internal controls for the operation of the investment program consistent with this investment policy (“Investment Procedures Manual”). Procedures should include references to: safekeeping, delivery vs. payment, investment accounting, repurchase agreements, wire transfer agreements, and collateral/depository agreements. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures manual. The investment officers shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to regulate their activities.
IV. Authorized Financial Institutions, Depositories, and Broker/Dealers A. Selection
Financial institutions and depositories involved in implementing the City Treasurer’s investment activities are selected on a competitive basis in order to obtain high‐ quality services from reliable, reputable, and stable entities. The competitive process may be formal or informal, as determined by the City Treasurer at his or her discretion, with the objective of obtaining the quality of services necessary to serve Resolution 22-53022-xx0199 August 16June 21, 2022 Page 10 of 15 the best interests of the City and relevant stakeholders, with services performed at competitive fees and rates. Such processes may occur from time to time by the City Treasurer’s Office whether at the time the City Treasurer contracts for the general banking services or otherwise. The firm or firms providing investment‐related services may or may not be, at the discretion of the City Treasurer, the same firm providing general banking services. Among the factors that the City Treasurer may consider in obtaining such services are (i) minimum qualifications pertaining to capacity, satisfaction of requirements to conduct required business, i.e. licenses, permits, registrations, certifications, etc.; (ii) capitalization; (iii) insurance and bonding; (iv) safekeeping and custodial experience; (v) status in good standing; (vi) ability and capacity of the firm to provide a full range of services as may be required by the City Treasurer; (vii) the extent of the value added by an entity over the services provided by firms then‐ providing investment‐related services to the City Treasurer’s Of, and (viii) other attributes as may be determined by the City Treasurer from time to time. The City Treasurer may determine the number and nature of firms to be retained to provide investment‐related services based on the volume of existing and projected investment work. Those firms that are selected to execute transactions on behalf of the City shall do so in a good faith manner and in the best interests of the City, and shall disclose to and advise the investment officers of material facts that bear upon the pricing of a given transaction order given by investment officers. All financial institutions executing investment transactions shall satisfy the requirements of Government Code section 53601.5. All depositories shall satisfy the institutional qualifications and security requirements described in Government Code sections 53648 et seq.
B. Performance Review
All financial institutions and depositories shall maintain the qualifications and attributes deemed appropriate by the City Treasurer, including, but not limited to those enumerated in subsection A above, and shall perform their duties in a satisfactory manner. The City Treasurer, at his or her discretion, shall conduct periodic performance reviews to ensure the institutions and depositories are providing services in the best interests of the City.
V. Safekeeping and Custody
A. Delivery vs. Payment
All trades of marketable securities will be executed by delivery vs. payment (DVP) to ensure that securities are deposited in an eligible financial institution prior to the release of funds.
B. Safekeeping
Securities will be held by an independent third‐party custodian selected by the City Treasurer. The inventory and value of cash and securities held by the custodian will be reconciled on a daily basis. The custodial institution shall annually provide a copy of their most recent report on internal controls in accordance with Statement on Resolution 22-53022-xx0199 August 16June 21, 2022 Page 11 of 15 Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 18, or SSAE 18.
C. Internal Controls, Investment Procedures Manual
The City Treasurer is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to guide the activities of the investment officers to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft, or misuse. Details of the internal controls system shall be documented in the Investment Procedures Manual and shall be reviewed and updated annually, as needed. The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. The internal controls structure shall address the following points:
1. Prevention of collusion
2. Separation of transaction authority from accounting and recordkeeping
3. Custodial safekeeping
4. Avoidance of physical delivery securities
5. Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members
6. Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers
7. Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third‐party custodian
Accordingly, the City Treasurer shall establish a process for an annual independent review by an external auditor to assure compliance with policies and procedures or alternatively, compliance should be assured through the City annual independent audit.
VI. Suitable and Authorized Investments
A. Investment Types
Allowable investments of funds not required for the immediate use by the City are limited to those described in Government Code sections 16429.1 (Local Agency Investment Fund), 53601 (investment of surplus), 53601.8 (certificates of deposit), 53635 (purchase of commercial paper by pools) and 53638 (bank deposits), as such statutes may be amended or renumbered from time to time. These allowable investments, and their permitted amounts and attributes, are set forth in a summary prepared and updated from time to time by the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (“CDIAC”) entitled, “Allowable Investment Instruments Per State Government Code, Applicable To All Local Agencies,” included CDIAC’s “Local Agency Resolution 22-53022-xx0199 August 16June 21, 2022 Page 12 of 15 Investment Guidelines” publication that may be located at http://www.treasurer.ca.gov/cdiac/LAIG/guideline.pdf
B. Extended Maturities
The investment officers will observe the maximum maturity term of five years on various of the allowable investments. However, where a particular investment is found by the investment officers to be advantageous and consistent with these policies, but for a nominal exceedance of a 5‐year maximum maturity caused by effect of the security’s issuance and maturity dates, or the settlement date of the transaction, or both, they are authorized to invest in the following obligations with remaining maturities of five (5) years, plus not more than thirty (30) calendar days: U.S. Treasury obligations, obligations of California or other states, California local agency obligations, U.S. Agency obligations and medium‐term notes. The City Treasurer will provide notice to the City Council of such investments within periodic investment reports made to the Council. See, Section VIII.A. Pursuant to Government Code section 53601, investment officers shall not make investments in instruments with maturities longer than five
(5) years, plus thirty (30) calendar days, without prior approval of the City Council.
C. Securities Lending
The investment officers at their discretion may engage in securities lending activities pursuant to securities lending agreements (as defined in Government Code section 53601(j)(5)(D)) provided that the following are satisfied:
1. Securities lending transactions are to be governed by agreements entered into by the City Treasurer and the agent or agents the City Treasurer engages to perform such transactions provided that such agreements
(a) comply with the requirements of Government Code section 53601(j), and
(b) require the payment of cash collateral equal to or greater than 102% of the market value of the loaned security at the time of the loan.
2. The securities lending agreements may allow for the use of cash collateral for the reinvestment in securities that (a) comply with the requirements of Government Code section 53601(j)(3)(D), and
(b) are securities whose direct investment is authorized by Government Code section 53601 and these policies,
(c) provided that nothing herein shall preclude the City Treasurer Resolution 22-53022-xx0199 August 16June 21, 2022 Page 13 of 15 from entering into securities lending agreements that reduces the scope of investments made with cash collateral to
something less than that allowed under subsections (a) and (b) above.
VII. Investment Parameters
A. Diversification
The City shall diversify its investment portfolio. To minimize risk of loss resulting from the over‐ concentration of assets in a specific maturity, issuer, or type of securities, all cash and cash equivalent assets in all City funds shall be diversified by maturity, issuer, and class of security. Diversification strategies shall be determined and revised on an ongoing basis by the investment officers for all funds covered by these investment policies. In establishing specific diversification strategies, these investment policies shall apply. The investment officers shall emphasize that portfolio maturities will be staggered to avoid undue concentration of assets in a specific maturity sector. Maturities selected shall provide for
stability of income and reasonable liquidity.
B. Cash Management Funds
1. Liquidity shall be assured through practices ensuring that the payroll dates and dates of large disbursements are covered through maturing investments or marketable U.S. Treasury bills.
2. Positions in securities having potential default risk shall be limited in size pursuant to the maximum limits set forth in Government Code section 53601. Such securities include the following: Commercial paper; negotiable certificates of deposit, and Banker’s Acceptances.
3. Risks of market price volatility shall be controlled through maturity diversification.
4. Liquidity risk: Because of inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting cash flow requirements, a portion of the portfolio should be continuously invested in readily available funds such as LAIF, money market funds, overnight repurchase agreements, and/or marketable securities that can be sold to raise cash in one day’s notice, to ensure that appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet ongoing obligations.
C. Competitive Bids
The investment officers shall obtain competitive bids from at least two brokers or financial institutions on all purchases and sales of investment instruments executed on the secondary market for consideration in excess of $15 million per purchase transaction.
Resolution 22-53022-xx0199 August 16June 21, 2022 Page 14 of 15 VIII. Reporting
A. Investment Reports
The City Treasurer shall present to the City Council and the City Administrator, monthly investment reports that include the transactions as required by Government Code section 53607.
B. Marking to Market
For purposes of preparation of the investment reports, the market value of the portfolio shall be calculated. In defining market value, considerations should be given to the GASB Statement 31 pronouncement.
C. Performance Standards
The investment portfolio will be managed in accordance with the parameters specified within this statement of policies. The portfolio should obtain a market average rate of return during a market/economic environment of stable interest rates. A series of appropriate benchmarks shall be established against which portfolio performance shall be compared on a regular basis. The benchmarks shall be reflective of the actual securities being purchased and risks undertaken.
IX. Policy Considerations
A. Exemption
Any investment currently held that does not meet the guidelines of this policy shall be exempted from the requirements of this policy, provided that the City Treasurer may take steps he or she deems appropriate to address non‐compliant investments in the best interest of the City and pool participants. At maturity or liquidation, such monies shall be reinvested only as provided by this policy.
B. Amendments
This policy shall be reviewed annually by the investment officers. Any change must be approved by the City Treasurer, followed by review and consideration by the City Council pursuant to Section X of these policies.
X. City Council Consideration of Investment Policy
This policy shall be reviewed and considered by the City Council on an annual basis pursuant to Government Code section 53646(a)(2).

The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity). Alternatively, a portion of the portfolio may be placed in money market mutual funds or LAIF which offer same-day liquidity for short-term funds.
The staff of the City Treasurer’s Office shall (i) monitor the City’s budget formation and approval process and (ii) actively engage with City staff to assess and manage cash flow needs of the City.
3. Yield
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The core of investments is limited to relatively low-risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the low level of risk being assumed.
Securitiesshall generally be held until maturity with the following exceptions:
(a) A security with declining value may be sold early to minimize loss of principal.
Resolution 22-53 August 16, 2022 Page 5 of 12
(b) A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio. (c) Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold. (d) Where the sale of the security to realize capital gains is advisable in the judgment of the investment officers.
B. Other Objectives
1. Pooling of Funds
Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping, and administration.
Investment income will be allocated to the various funds proportionately based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The pooling of funds shall have no effect on the legal character of the pooled funds, i.e. funds whose use is restricted by law shall remain restricted and cannot be used as part of the City’s general fund.
III. Standards of Care
A. Prudence
In accordance with Government Code section 53600.3, the standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the "prudent person" standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures developed by the City Treasurer and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided extraordinary deviations from expectations are reported by subordinate investment officers to the City Treasurer in a prompt fashion and that the sale of securities is carried out in accordance with the terms of this policy.
Pursuant to the "prudent person" standard, investment officers shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Funds shall be managed not for speculation where the sole goal of a transaction is to increase principal balances, but for investment intended to earn a reasonable rate of return on invested funds, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived. Despite that investment transactions are undertaken with care pursuant to the “prudent person” standard, it is recognized that invested funds are subject to the vagrancies of the markets beyond the control of the investment Resolution 22-53 August 16, 2022 Page 6 of 12
officers.
B. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with the proper execution and management of the investment program, or that could impair their ability to make impartial decisions. Employees and investment officials shall disclose any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business. They shall further disclose any personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and investment officers shall refrain from undertaking personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City.
Investment officers shall file State Fair Political Practices Commission’s Statement of Economic Interests and make the disclosures required by the City’s conflict of interest policies.
C. Delegation of Authority
Authority to manage the City treasury investment program is granted to the City Treasurer pursuant to municipal code section 2, unless statute specifically indicates otherwise, subject to annual delegation of investment authority by the City Council pursuant to Government Code section 53607. T he City Treasurer also is authorized to appoint deputies and employees, as prescribed by Council resolution, to implement the investment program. The City Treasurer and those employees appointed by the Treasurer to perform investment activities pursuant to these policies shall be referred to herein collectively as “investment officers.”
Investment officers shall act in accordance with established written procedures and internal controls for the operation of the investment program consistent with this investment policy (“Investment Procedures Manual”). Procedures should include references to: safekeeping, delivery vs. payment, investment accounting, repurchase agreements, wire transfer agreements, and collateral/depository agreements. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures manual. The investment officers shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to regulate their activities.
IV. Authorized Financial Institutions, Depositories, and Broker/Dealers A. Selection
Financial institutions and depositories involved in implementing the City Treasurer’s investment activities are selected on a competitive basis in order to obtain highquality services from reliable, reputable, and stable entities. The competitive process may be formal or informal, as determined by the City Treasurer at his or her discretion, with the objective of obtaining the quality of services necessary to serve Resolution 22-53 August 16, 2022 Page 7 of 12
the best interests of the City and relevant stakeholders, with services performed at competitive fees and rates. Such processes may occur from time to time by the City Treasurer’s Office whether at the time the City Treasurer contracts for the general banking services or otherwise. The firm or firms providing investment-related services may or may not be, at the discretion of the City Treasurer, the same firm providing general banking services. Among the factors that the City Treasurer may consider in obtaining such services are (i) minimum qualifications pertaining to capacity, satisfaction of requirements to conduct required business, i.e. licenses, permits, registrations, certifications, etc.; (ii) capitalization; (iii) insurance and bonding; (iv) safekeeping and custodial experience; (v) status in good standing; (vi) ability and capacity of the firm to provide a full range of services as may be required by the City Treasurer; (vii) the extent of the value added by an entity over the services provided by firms then- providing investment-related services to the City Treasurer’s Of, and (viii) other attributes as may be determined by the City Treasurer from time to time. The City Treasurer may determine the number and nature of firms to be retained to provide investment-related services based on the volume of existing and projected investment work. Those firms that are selected to execute transactions on behalf of the City shall do so in a good faith manner and in the best interests of the City, and shall disclose to and advise the investment officers of material facts that bear upon the pricing of a given transaction order given by investment officers. All financial institutions executing investment transactions shall satisfy the requirements of Government Code section 53601.5. All depositories shall satisfy the institutional qualifications and security requirements described in Government Code sections 53648 et seq.
B. Performance Review
All financial institutions and depositories shall maintain the qualifications and attributes deemed appropriate by the City Treasurer, including, but not limited to those enumerated in subsection A above, and shall perform their duties in a satisfactory manner. The City Treasurer, at his or her discretion, shall conduct periodic performance reviews to ensure the institutions and depositories are providing services in the best interests of the City.
V. Safekeeping and Custody
A. Delivery vs. Payment
All trades of marketable securities will be executed by delivery vs. payment (DVP) to ensure that securities are deposited in an eligible financial institution prior to the release of funds.
B. Safekeeping
Securities will be held by an independent third-party custodian selected by the City Treasurer. The inventory and value of cash and securities held by the custodian will be reconciled on a daily basis. The custodial institution shall annually provide a copy of their most recent report on internal controls in accordance with Statement on Resolution 22-53 August 16, 2022 Page 8 of 12
Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 18, or SSAE 18.
C. Internal Controls, Investment Procedures Manual
The City Treasurer is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to guide the activities of the investment officers to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft, or misuse. Details of the internal controls system shall be documented in the Investment Procedures Manual and shall be reviewed and updated annually, as needed. The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a controlshould not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. The internal controls structure shall address the following points:
1. Prevention of collusion
2. Separation of transaction authority from accounting and recordkeeping
3. Custodial safekeeping
4. Avoidance of physical delivery securities
5. Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members
6. Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers
7. Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third-party custodian
Accordingly, the City Treasurer shall establish a process for an annual independent review by an external auditor to assure compliance with policies and procedures or alternatively, compliance should be assured through the City annual independent audit.
VI. Suitable and Authorized Investments
A. Investment Types
Allowable investments of funds not required for the immediate use by the City are limited to those described in Government Code sections 16429.1 (Local Agency Investment Fund), 53601 (investment of surplus), 53601.8 (certificates of deposit), 53635 (purchase of commercial paper by pools) and 53638 (bank deposits), as such statutes may be amended or renumbered from time to time. These allowable investments, and their permitted amounts and attributes, are set forth in a summary prepared and updated from time to time by the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (“CDIAC”) entitled, “Allowable Investment Instruments Per State Government Code, Applicable To All Local Agencies,” included CDIAC’s “Local Agency Resolution 22-53 August 16, 2022 Page 9 of 12
Investment Guidelines” publication that may be located at http://www.treasurer.ca.gov/cdiac/LAIG/guideline.pdf
B. Extended Maturities
The investment officers will observe the maximum maturity term of five years on various of the allowable investments. However, where a particular investment is found by the investment officers to be advantageous and consistent with these policies, but for a nominal exceedance of a 5-year maximum maturity caused by effect of the security’s issuance and maturity dates, or the settlement date of the transaction, or both, they are authorized to invest in the following obligations with remaining maturities of five (5) years, plus not more than thirty (30) calendar days: U.S. Treasury obligations, obligations of California or other states, California local agency obligations, U.S. Agency obligations and medium-term notes. The City Treasurer will provide notice to the City Council of such investments within periodic investment reports made to the Council. See, Section VIII.A. Pursuant to Government Code section 53601, investment officers shall not make investments in instruments with maturities longer than five
(5) years, plus thirty (30) calendar days, without prior approval of the City Council.
C. Securities Lending
The investment officers at their discretion may engage in securities lending activities pursuant to securities lending agreements (as defined in Government Code section 53601(j)(5)(D)) provided that the following are satisfied:
1. Securities lending transactions are to be governed by agreements entered into by the City Treasurer and the agent or agents the City Treasurer engages to perform such transactions provided that such agreements
(a) comply with the requirements of Government Code section 53601(j), and
(b) require the payment of cash collateral equal to or greater than 102% of the market value of the loaned security at the time of the loan.
2. The securities lending agreements may allow for the use of cash collateral for the reinvestment in securities that (a) comply with the requirements of Government Code section 53601(j)(3)(D), and
(b) are securities whose direct investment is authorized by Government Code section 53601 and these policies,
(c) provided that nothing herein shall preclude the City Treasurer Resolution 22-53 August 16, 2022 Page 10 of 12
from entering into securities lending agreements that reduces the scope of investments made with cash collateral to
something less than that allowed under subsections (a) and (b) above.
VII. Investment Parameters
A. Diversification
The City shall diversify its investment portfolio. To minimize risk of loss resulting from the over- concentration of assets in a specific maturity, issuer, or type of securities, all cash and cash equivalent assets in all City funds shall be diversified by maturity, issuer, and class of security. Diversification strategies shall be determined and revised on an ongoing basis by the investment officers for all funds covered by these investment policies. In establishing specific diversification strategies, these investment policies shall apply. The investment officers shall emphasize that portfolio maturities will be staggered to avoid undue concentration of assets in a specific maturity sector. Maturities selected shall provide for
stability of income and reasonable liquidity.
B. Cash Management Funds
1. Liquidity shall be assured through practices ensuring that the payroll dates and dates of large disbursements are covered through maturing investments or marketable U.S. Treasury bills.
2. Positions in securities having potential default risk shall be limited in size pursuant to the maximum limits set forth in Government Code section 53601. Such securities include the following: Commercial paper; negotiable certificates of deposit, and Banker’s Acceptances.
3. Risks of market price volatility shall be controlled through maturity diversification.
4. Liquidity risk: Because of inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting cash flow requirements, a portion of the portfolio should be continuously invested in readily available funds such as LAIF, money market funds, overnight repurchase agreements, and/or marketable securities that can be sold to raise cash in one day’s notice, to ensure that appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet ongoing obligations.
C. Competitive Bids
The investment officers shall obtain competitive bids from at least two brokers or financial institutions on all purchases and sales of investment instruments executed on the secondary market for consideration in excess of $15 million per purchase transaction.
Resolution 22-53 August 16, 2022 Page 11 of 12
VIII. Reporting
A. Investment Reports
The City Treasurer shall present to the City Council and the City Administrator, monthly investment reports that include the transactions as required by Government Code section 53607.
B. Marking to Market
For purposes of preparation of the investment reports, the market value of the portfolio shall be calculated. In defining market value, considerations should be given to the GASB Statement 31 pronouncement.
C. Performance Standards
The investment portfolio will be managed in accordance with the parameters specified within this statement of policies. The portfolio should obtain a market average rate of return during a market/economic environment of stable interest rates. A series of appropriate benchmarks shall be established against which portfolio performance shall be compared on a regular basis. The benchmarks shall be reflective of the actual securities being purchased and risks undertaken.
IX. Policy Considerations
A. Exemption
Any investment currently held that does not meet the guidelines of this policy shall be exempted from the requirements of this policy, provided that the City Treasurer may take steps he or she deems appropriate to address non-compliant investments in the best interest of the City and pool participants. At maturity or liquidation, such monies shall be reinvested only as provided by this policy.
B. Amendments
This policy shall be reviewed annually by the investment officers. Any change must be approved by the City Treasurer, followed by review and consideration by the City Council pursuant to Section X of these policies.
X. City Council Consideration of Investment Policy
This policy shall be reviewed and considered by the City Council on an annual basis pursuant to Government Code section 53646(a)(2).

TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: DISCUSSION AND APPROVE RESOLUTION 22-54 TO CHANGE THE CITY OF ANGELS
GENERAL BANK ACCOUNT
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution 22-54 Changing from US Bank to Bank of Stockton for the City General Account
BACKGROUND
The City of Angels has been banking with US Bank for several years for the operating expenditures and revenue for the City.
DISCUSSION
The City has been paying approximately $730 per month in analysis fees to US Bank. Generally, when a municipality establishes a banking account, given the operating balance is fairly large, the bank will give large credits to offset any service costs of the bank managing the account.
US Bank has been offering credits. However, the charges for the services have exceeded those credits by an average of $730 per month. This issue was a high priority to address for the City Administrator.
Upon hiring the Finance Director, the direction was given to begin setting up discussions with local banks to get proposals for analysis and costs. Staff had discussions with US Bank, Bank of Stockton, and Umpqua.
Bank of Stockton came back with the best cost-benefit to the City with overall costs being an actual credit to allow the City to gain more services. Additionally, unlike US Bank, Bank of Stockton offers inperson assistance for any of the City’s needs or issues.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The 2022-23 budget included $8,760 in analysis charges that will now be zero.

FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION TO ENGAGE WITH GOV-PAY FOR NON-UTILITY CHARGES
FOR THE PUBLIC
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City engage with Gov-Pay for processing non-utility charges.
DISCUSSION
The City is currently utilizing CivicPay and Blue Fin for credit card processing for utility charges and nonutility charges. Non-utility charges can be banners, encroachment fees, building permits, business licenses, etc. Other charges that the City has but currently require cash or checks only are parking citations or any additional charges for the Police Department.
The current processing options and charges are:
1) Utility customers who make a one-time payment will be charged $1.00 as a convenience charge. 2) Utility customers who sign up for automatic payments using a credit card will have the $1.00 convenience charge waived by the City, and the City will absorb that fee. The monthly charges associated with this absorption model are $400 or $4,800 annually. The basis for the City absorbing these charges is the staff time saved compared to handling cash or checks. 3) Utility customers who sign up for ACH payment have no charge, and the City incurs no charges 4) Non-utility customers who use a credit card incur no cost, and the City is absorbing approximately $3,000 or $36,000 annually.
5) Police-related payments are handled manually by staff Staff recommends moving to a different payment option for all non-utility payments called Gov-Pay.
Equipment and software are free. Charges are passed on to the customer and range between 2-3% per transaction. In addition to the hard savings of $36,000 per year that the City is currently incurring, other departments would be able to start taking credit cards at their location, eliminating the manual work of processing payments and eliminating loss exposure related to cash handling.
If Council directs staff to move forward, staff would immediately post signage that non-utility credit card payments will incur charges per the terms of the Gov-Pay processing fees. The City would also be working with staff to set up terminals at other locations and train staff.
CITY HALL
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Effective immediately, the City would begin seeing monthly savings by reducing the fees that are currently being absorbed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Reduction in fee expenditures of approximately $30,000 for the fiscal year 2022-23

TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION ON BUILDING FEES
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City move forward with a building fee study.
DISCUSSION
Currently, the City charges Building permit fees based on the valuation method. For low-value projects, the City does not recoup sufficient payments to cover the cost of processing the project handling, including the plan review and inspections. Additionally, based on the building and planning budget, the building fees collected are not paying for the actual costs incurred. In many cases, this is likely due to low-value projects and a lack of prices for more complicated tasks that require more inspections. In both cases, those fees would not be sufficient to offset costs.
While the Planning Fees were reviewed and updated in 2019, the Building Permit Fees have not been done in many years.
Staff would like to issue a request for qualifications and then review responses to bring to Council for a budget amendment and project plan.

Springbrook got back to us and has corrected the payroll error. They will remove a pay code for us that should not be in the system. After that, we are good to move forward with the testing. I spoke with UMPQUA and the Bank of Stockton to inquire about rates and services for banking. Both bank managers were very responsive, and we sent over recent statements for analysis. We should have quotes back in a week and see if we can save on fees and add services. I spoke with RAMS to reduce the May invoice for charges that the City did not request. Garden responded and will send a revised invoice reducing their fee. Rose and I worked on the rate comparison for 2023 Benefits showing savings for both the employee and employers for EO3 vs. PERS. Andrea and I looked at costs for Civic Pay credit card fees and will be researching Merchant Services to see if we can reduce the cost we pay for credit card processing fees. We may be able to use an alternate system; we don't want to lose the online portal for customers.

We are succeeding with the latest product and should use less material, saving money. The June 2022 N.P.D.E.S. report has been completed.
Building Update
Requests for Quotes were distributed to state-approved (CG certified) appraisers to perform an appraisal to acquire the 3.28 acres adjacent to Utica Park. Quotes are due 8/19. One quote has already been received. The state requires an appraisal and appraisal review by a CG Certified appraiser before any grant agreements may be signed. If the City gets the state Rural Recreation and Tourism Grant, the state will reimburse the costs. Suppose the city does not receive the grant. In that case, the City Council will know the anticipated costs of purchasing the adjacent parcel should it decide to pursue acquisition outside the grant. Planning Commission meets on 8/11. The Commission will consider three general plan amendments and rezones (two involving property purchases and sales by the City and one by a private landowner); one sign (new owners of the former Vine and Fork), and an extension of permits for Habitat for Humanity through February 2023, removing a renewal requirement for the Utica Mansion (a special events center), and consideration of the state-mandated edible food waste recovery ordinance.
General Plan amendments and rezones and the edible food waste recovery ordinance will be presented to the Council on 8/16. Staff held a pop-up event for playground planning at the 8/5/22 Farmer's Market. Dozens of children identified their preferences for the new playground. A few parents also discussed the playground. No volunteers came forward to serve on a playground planning committee, but a few potentially interested parents were identified. Council held public input meetings for the CDBG for the Utica Park bathrooms and kitchen projects and approved the contract for Pioneer Electric to install the kitchen generator. The city is executing the contract with Pioneer and will meet with CDBG on 8/9 to (hopefully) receive the green light to proceed on the amended projects. Staff coordinated with the City Attorney to finalize the purchase of the lot next door to Napa Auto and assisted in securing final signatures on the purchase documents for the sale of the city parking lot to MACT. Staff confirmed 85% compliance for code violations (junk vehicles and garbage) in the parking lot behind Cascabel's (one unregistered car remains). Staff has spent extensive time coordinating with a landlord and tenant on Bush Street related to the use of a shed converted to a living space without permits. The landlord has elected to evict the tenant; however, the violation remains, and staff is working to assist the tenant in relocation and the landlord in securing permits for the shed. Staff also has spent considerable time addressing the ongoing chicken and cockroach issues between neighbors in Angel Oaks. The resolution requires voluntary cooperation on both sides and the involvement of the County's Environmental
