RE: RESOLUTION 22-62 ESTABLISHING WHEN AND HOW ENGINEERING CHARGES WILL BE

ASSESSED FOR ROUTINE SERVICES AND PROJECT CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES ON A TIME AND MATERIALS PLUS 5% ADMINISTRATION COSTS, ESTABLISHING POLICIES FOR DEPOSITS AND DEPOSIT REPLENISHMENTS, AND DELETING SECTIONS 6.04 AND

6.05 OF THE CITY IMPROVEMENT STANDARDS

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution 22-62 revising engineering fees.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Sections 6.04 and 6.05 of the City Development Improvement Standards (Resolution 10-42) are reflected on the City’s Fee Schedule and establish costs for engineering services as follows and as shown in Table 1:
• Costs for “routine” services with minimal construction have an established deposit amount. These include charges for public utility work in the City right-of-way by such agencies as AT&T, PG&E, and Comcast.
• Costs for project construction activities (Plan Check and Inspections) are based on project valuation. • Costs for single-family residential encroachment permits are a fixed fee.

Routine services.

The current fee schedule has a $500 annual charge for public utility encroachments. Recently, numerous non-routine public utility projects involving extensive Engineer costs for Plan Checks and Inspections have occurred and are expected to continue. Based upon discussions with the City Engineer, it was determined that raising the annual deposit to $2,500 and requiring the deposit to be replenished when it dips below $1,000 will ensure that sufficient funds will be collected to offset engineering services costs and will avoid the necessity to establish a new fee for each and every new public utility project submitted to the City.

Construction activities.

The current fee schedule for construction activities is based on project valuation. For construction activities, the City Engineer is involved in a two-step process. First, plans are submitted and reviewed (Plan Check Phase). Then construction begins and the City Engineer performs multiple inspections (Inspection Phase).

Given the varying complexity of construction projects, and based on discussions with the City Engineer, it was determined that:
7A
Mayor Alvin Broglio • Vice Mayor Jennifer Davis-Herndon • Council Members Caroline Schirato, Gretel Tiscornia, Isabel Moncada
City Administrator Rebecca Callen • City Attorney Doug White, Churchwell White, LLP A. Plan Check Deposits shall continue to be based on valuation; however, Inspection Deposits will be estimated by the City Engineer during the Plan Check phase and a deposit reflecting the estimated charges for inspections will be collected upon completing the Plan Check phase of the project.

B. The Plan Check and Inspection Deposits for projects valued over $1,000,000 (currently 5.5% of project valuation plus a 5% admin fee) does not reflect the actual anticipated costs of these very large projects and represents a challenge to new development to commence the construction process. Due to the economy of scale that occurs with large projects, a reduced fee is warranted. Based on discussions with the City Engineer, a 1.15% Plan Check Deposit is now proposed (instead of 1.75%). A separate deposit will then be determined by the City Engineer on a project-by-project basis based on estimated time and materials + 5% admin.

Table 1: Current Engineer's Fee Schedule
Mayor Alvin Broglio • Vice Mayor Jennifer Davis-Herndon • Council Members Caroline Schirato, Gretel Tiscornia, Isabel Moncada
City Administrator Rebecca Callen • City Attorney Doug White, Churchwell White, LLP C. Single-family residences.

No changes are proposed for single-family residential encroachment permit fees.

D. Deposits/Replenishments
Under the existing fee schedule, 100% project deposits are required for both plan check and inspection prior to issuance of any permits. Under the revised schedule, deposits for plan checks only will be required to begin the construction process. Prior to commencing ground disturbances, the City Engineer’s estimate for inspections will be deposited once plans are approved. To further assist developers in project financing and cash flow while ensuring sufficient funds for City Engineering services, an initial deposit and deposit replenishment schedule has been refined in the new fee schedule.

E. Other changes
The proposed changes will eliminate the fee schedule from the City’s 2010 Improvement Standards (delete Sections 6.04 and 6.05) and retain the fees instead on the City’s Master Fee Schedule. This will ensure that any future fee amendments are made in a single location and avoid creating conflicting fee schedules over multiple documents.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The project is exempt from the state guidelines for implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), the Common-Sense Exemption, which states that CEQA applies only to projects which have 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 will amend existing fees to correspond to actual costs expended. Therefore, no physical change to the environmental will occur either directly or indirectly.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed changes are intended to recover 100% of engineering services charges for project-related costs including costs for administrative services associated with those services. Therefore, there are no anticipated fiscal impacts.

TO: City Council
FROM: Amy Augustine, AICP – City Planner
RE: RESOLUTION 22-63 APPROVING THE WAIVER OF CERTAIN FEES FOR A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 653 LAKEVIEW COURT, ANGEL OAKS DUE TO HARDSHIP

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council may do one, none or any variation of the following:

A. Waive none of the fees and require full payment
B. Waive some of the fees and require partial payment
C. Waive all of the fees and require no payments
Staff recommends Option B as follows:
• Pay 50% impact mitigation fees totaling $13,662.68 (100%) = $6,831.34 (50%) based on the degree of project completion;
• Pay building inspection and, if applicable, plan check fees at SCGs hourly rate through final inspection; • Waive all remaining fees; and
• Submit a written timeline for inspection and completion of the single-family residential permit.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The applicants, Mr. and Mrs. Watkins, applied for a building permit in 2006 and began constructing their home in 2007 before economic hardship and illness hit. The outside of the home is complete. Only the interior requires completion as shown in Figures 1 - 3.

A timeline of the project history follows:

Date Activity
May 17, 2006 Application received from Bradley and Kimberlee Watkins for a single family residence at 653 Lakeview Court
July 11, 2006 Building Permit issued for a 2530 square foot home with 672 square foot garage and 628 square foot deck valued at $257,467.90
January 11, 2007 Permit expires, extension granted to July 11, 2007 July 12, 2012 Notice of no final inspection issued by Angels Camp Building Official warning to avoid additional administrative costs up to the original permit cost November 27, 2017 Stop work order issued by Angels Camp Building Official for working using an expired permit November 30, 2017 Official Stop Work Notice sent to owners by certified mail/return receipt (receipt signed and returned)
7B
Date Activity
December 19, 2017 Stop work order issued by Angels Camp Building Official for working using an expired permit April 22, 2020 Complain received regarding working on home April 23, 2020 Angels Camp Building Official conducts site visit and found no evidence of work being conducted, but states ongoing checks will occur twice weekly August 2022 Calaveras County Assessor Contacts City to determine if a final inspection has been completed. Staff researches and finds that no final has occurred and home’s interior is not finished.

August 2022 Staff contacts the homeowners to ask about future plans. Homeowners respond that, due to illness, they have been unable to complete the house; but are now able to proceed. The owners have asked for a waiver of fees per Attachment A.

Per Angels Camp Municipal Code Section 15.04.045, reinstatement of an expired building permit:

• Requires payment of new fees and must comply with all applicable codes in effect at time of issuance.

The City may request a written timeline for inspection and completion of permits before reinstatement.

Staff has consulted with the Fire Department. Sprinklers will not be required given the completion status of the building prior to state adoption of the code change requiring sprinklers. • May require resubmittal of plans.

The applicants are being asked to re-submit their original plans. If the Building Official requires additional information, it will be provided by the applicants. • Must comply with all applicable codes, ordinances, laws and regulations in effect at the time of the renewal.

No changes to the R-1 zoning district development standards have occurred that would affect the residence.
• Before such work can be resumed, a new permit shall be first obtained therefor, the fee for which shall be one-half the amount required for a new permit for such work; provided, that no changes have been made or will be made in the original plans or scope of such work; and provided, further, that such suspension or abandonment has not exceeded one year.

A new permit will be issued. No changes are proposed to the original scope of work to date. Per code, applicants would qualify for a reduced building permit fee of one-half. Staff recommends waiving new building permit fees entirely given the completion status of the building. • The building official may have the discretion to waive the operation of this section where delay in commencing work or the suspension of work has been caused by acts of God, economic hardship, or personal illness.

This provision relates to building permit fees, but excludes impact mitigation fees. It is noted that school fees were collected and paid to the school districts when the original building permit was issued, therefore, no additional school fees are due. Impact mitigation fees were adopted in 2016 (for police, fire, planning, traffic, and parks) and were not collected.

Figure 1: Outside of Home
Figure 3: Inside
Figure 2: Inside
As shown in Attachment A, the request for a fee waiver from Mr. and Mrs. Watkins, there is no question of hardship as addressed in the municipal code thereby allowing for consideration of a waiver of some building permit fees in accordance with the City of Angels Municipal Code.

In accordance with City Council policy, any fee waivers require City Council approval. A comparison of fees paid in 2006 and fees that would be paid if an application were submitted today for the residence is included in Table 1.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL OF A FEE WAIVER FOR ACBA FOR ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH HAVING THE ANGELS CAMP CHRISTMAS PARADE ON DECEMBER 10, 2022, AND APPROVING RESOLUTION 22-59 TO APPROVE THE ROAD CLOSURES FOR THE PARADE

AND SUBSEQUENT GATHERING ACTIVITIES

RECOMMENDATION
Approve a fee waiver of up to $2,500 for the Christmas Parade, encroachment permits, security, traffic control, decoration hanging, signage, and cleanup, and approve resolution 22-59 for the road closures.

BACKGROUND
City Council approved a budget of $6,500 for the Fiscal Year 2022-23 as donations to ACBA for events that can be linked to a public benefit to the City residents and businesses.

DISCUSSION
The City has approved fee waivers for the farmer’s market, totaling $3,400, plus $525.38 for the banner.

ACBA is requesting the waivers of fees associated with the Christmas Parade. Because the Parade would be an evening event, staff costs are an overtime cost as opposed to regular time, decorations will require contracted labor to hang, and the period will carry through 8:30 PM for Hardscrabble closure.

Estimated costs:

Banner Cost (no banner decoration costs: $525.38
Parade and Encroachment Fee: $359.47
Staff Costs: 3 Officers, 3 Public Works staff (All Overtime) 5 Hours $1,520 (total to be confirmed AFTER event)

Angels Camp City Council
P.O. Box 667
Angels Camp, CA 95222
Dear Honorable Mayor Broglio and Council Members,
I am writing to request that all City fees related to the Angels Camp Christmas Parade, hosted by the Angels Camp Business Association on Saturday, December 10th, 2022 in downtown Angels Camp be waived.

The Angels Camp Business Association appreciates that the Council recognizes the benefit of the events and programs of ACBA and the allocation of $6,500 in your budget for the donation/waiver of City services and fees.

Due to the pandemic, we have not held a parade since 2019. Understanding the importance of a Christmas themed event, we were able to pivot and provide the community with a community wide holiday decorating contest and drive thru activity for the last two years. While this provided some sense of community togetherness, many citizens have asked for a return to the traditional Christmas Parade and the holiday spirit it promotes.

Our association has decided to proceed with the planning and implementation of a parade. However, as a completely volunteer organization that is financially sustained solely with membership fees, fundraisers and donations, we find it impossible to accomplish this without a waiver of city fees.

This year marks the 30th annual Christmas parade. The parade provides a financial benefit to the city by increasing the number of residents and tourists to our restaurants, motels, shops and stores. However, we believe that the strongest benefit would be the increased sense of community pride that would be experienced by both the participants of the parade and those coming to watch the parade as well.

As stated on the website Wonderopolis – “A parade is like a whole town throwing a party!” With your partnership, we can throw an amazing holiday celebration for Angels Camp! We appreciate your consideration of our request and look forward to your decision.

Sincerely,
Jessica Johnston
Treasurer

FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL OF CONTRACTING WITH HDL FOR YIFTEE DIGITAL GIFT CARD PROGRAM SUPPORT SERVICES, AMEND THE FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 BUDGET TO

UTILIZE THE COVID STATE AND LOCAL FISCAL RECOVERY FOR COMMUNITY SUPPORT OF $250,000, AND INCREASE THE WATER CAPITAL PROJECTS TO INCLUDE $250,000 FROM CASH CARRY FOR THE ANGELS CREEK TRAIL.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution 22-11 amending the fiscal year 2022-23 budget, authorize the City Administrator to engage with HDL to provide support services for the YIFTEE “Shop Local” digital gift program, authorize the City Administrator to execute all necessary documents for the program, and reallocate Water Capital Cash Carry for the Angels Creek Water Line Project.

BACKGROUND
The City of Angels applied for and received $946,360 in Federal Funding from the COVID State and Local Fiscal Recovery Grant. The proposed use of these funds was to pay for essential employee pay, COVID vaccine incentives, and water and wastewater projects, specifically for East Truck/Vallecito and the Angels Creek Water Line.

DISCUSSION
While preparing the budget, it was determined that the City was holding $250,000 in Mechanics Bank for the purpose of carrying reserves for UWPA in correlation with a project loan that has long since been paid off. The Council approved the consolidation of the funds and to move them from Mechanics Bank back to the City and repay the Water Capital fund.

Additionally, during preparing the budget, it was also determined that there were accumulated funds in both Water and Wastewater to support programmatic funding of approved projects, while not solely having to rely on the SLRF funds.

The final rule has determined that while the intent of the SLRF funds were to provide for essential pay, water and wastewater infrastructure funding, and broadband investment, the additional ruling also 7D

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Home of the Jumping Frog - Angelscamp.gov
identified that cities and counties could also utilize the funding for recovery efforts due to COVID impacts to their respective economies.

HDL presented a program, like the RADCard that Tuolumne County used that provided for a “Shop Local” program. The City can use a portion of the funds received to apply toward these programs, in addition to other economic development grants so long as those programs are tied to recovery efforts.

Should the City want to further expand its use of the SLRF funds, the City can use the revenue loss rule whereby it could claim 100% of the SLRF funds to be used for any General Fund costs that the Council saw fit.

Based on the needs of the City and the available resources identified, it is recommended that the City set aside $250,000 to be used for economic development programs (To be determined), and most pressingly $62,500 to be allocated over the next 3 months to a Shop Local program for this upcoming Holiday Season.

The City Administrator participated in the HDL presentation on the YIFTEE program and also compared that to the RADCard program Tuolumne County used. The City does not have the staffing resources to manage a program internally. HDL has the support system to make this a seamless program for the City, businesses, and shoppers. The SLRF funds can be used for BOTH the HDL costs and the digital card program.

The program would be a buy-on-get one up to $100. A shopper can purchase a digital card and the card would also receive $100 using the SLRF funds. Business within the City limits would be required to enroll in the program in order to have the digital cards be accepted at their locations. There is no restriction on the type of business. Services, supplies, etc. can all participate, but you MUST be in the City limits and you must have a business license on file with the City. Additionally, any cards used at a restaurant, etc.

Cannot be used on tipping.

Shoppers do NOT have to reside it the City. As such, both residents and visitors can purchase cards and use at participating merchants. The purchase of the card also requires $1.00 + 5% of the card value at the time of purchase. As an example, a purchase of a $100 card would be a value of $200 + $1 + $10 for a total of $211.

Merchants must be able to accept Mastercard using a Point-of-Sale device (no other required equipment). Mastercard processing fees would be equal to a card-not-present (CNP) fee and is dependent on the agreement between the merchant and the processor they use.

The shopper's purchase value does not expire. However, the donated portion does The Bonus gift expires 1 year from issue date. The grant funds MUST be fully expended on projects by December 31, 2026.

The Budget did not include the Angels Creek Water Line project as the entire funding package was still being worked on. To ensure that the cash carry identified for the project is properly encumbered, it is recommended to approve the addition of the Angels Creek Water Line project.

TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF ANGELS

RECOMMENDATION
Discussion and direction on future planning and program implementation of Economic Development in the City of Angels.

BACKGROUND
The City has limited opportunities to fund Economic Development. Historically the City has engaged with Destination Angels Camp to provide elements of ED, in addition to Angels Camp Business Association, and the Calaveras Visitors Bureau.

DISCUSSION
There is limited funding access for Economic Development and the City has had minimal involvement in the programmatic aspects of what Economic Development Strategies should be. This was primary left to the businesses in our area to determine.

The City relies on a combination of discretionary and non-discretionary funding for operations. The two top sources of discretionary revenue are Sales Tax and Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), with Sales Tax coming in third.

Transient Occupancy Tax has been the main source of funding for promoting various facets of any business or tourism activities. However, this source of funding is also used for a significant portion of general operations of the City, in addition to Sales Tax and Property Taxes. Counter to the belief that the increase of TOT is required to be spent on specific programs/elements of the City operations, the tax is a general tax, and the basis of its allocation is 100% dependent on what the Council chooses to do through the budget process.

TOT and Sales tax are some of the most volatile revenue streams an agency can have. Both can be impacted by consumer spending habits and economic uncertainty can cause consumers to slow down purchasing. Combine the current fuel prices, inflation, and speculation of an impending recession and you have the potential for a reduction in these type of revenue sources. 7E

CITY HALL
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Home of the Jumping Frog - Angelscamp.gov
The City should always be looking to invest in infrastructure that can harness current and future economic development potential to insulate itself in downturns. The City is in a perfect position to capitalize on the current momentum to do just that.

The area of the City that currently has the most potential to do this is Downtown. The Museum becoming a world-renowned destination under the management of Martin Huberty, the Angels Creek Trail Project that will become a regional bike and pedestrian trail, to now the Utica Park Expansion project will make Utica Park and regional park, these elements pull the entire Downtown area into a World-Renowned destination that will bring visitors to the region to support the stabilization of the Sales Tax and TOT dollars the City receives. Investments in sewer and water infrastructure, progressing on long-term circulation plans, and aggressively applying for grants ensure that growth can occur confidently and at the pace the City determines.

Currently, the Utica Park Expansion Grant of $3,000,000, the Community Club donations of $135,000, the Per Capita Grant of $177,000, the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement grant that is being used to fund the Angels Creek Trail currently stands at $1.3 million with the City about to request approval to proceed with a request of an additional nearly $1.8 million totals $6.4 million in grant funding that is being used to improve the Downtown corridor, the way of life for our residents and tourists, and significantly increase opportunities for economic development.

The staff has identified programs that would align with the improvements discussed above to promote business attraction, retain existing businesses, and create an expansion of our current economy by leveraging COVID relief funding. Staff is recommending investing $250,000 from the COVID State Local Recovery Funds to assist with recovery efforts that have hindered businesses and investment in capital grants for businesses that have been unable to attract and expand due to the impacts of the pandemic.

Programs include:
• Shop Local grants
• Business Improvement grants that align with Code Violations and Citations • Business capital Investment grants to allow businesses to invest and expand their businesses • Develop a Three-Year Economic Action Plan (Consultant to be contracted)

FINANCIAL IMPACT
COVID funds must be spent by December 31, 2026

RECOMMENDATION
None

BACKGROUND
Measure A received sufficient signatures for the November 2022 election. The measure would add Chapter 3.57 to the Calaveras County Code of Ordinances, imposing a 1-cent transaction and use tax to be administered by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration to raise revenues to ensure adequate fire protection response.

DISCUSSION
The Measure Facts:

The City was included in the tax measure for a total of ten agencies. The basis of this measure was that most fire agencies in Calaveras County are predominantly staffed using volunteers, or have such a low rate of pay, that it is difficult to retain staff. Additionally, tourists make up most of the impacts on these agencies because of emergency fire and rescue service needs.

If Measure A passes, all of Calaveras County, including the City of Angels, would have an additional 1% tax rate on all tangible personal property at retail and storage, use, or other consumption of the tangible personal property. A new fund would be established at the County of Calaveras, administered by the County Auditor, called the Calaveras Local Fire Protection Account.

Of the funds, each agency receives: No more than 30% of the funds can be used to improve or replace equipment and facilities. No less than 70% may be used for staffing incentives, training, stipends, compensation, personal protective equipment, office and professional costs to provide for office manager, payroll services, or auditing services. No more than 5% may be devoted to such office and professional expenses.

CITY HALL
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Home of the Jumping Frog - Angelscamp.gov
Of the funds received by the County Auditor: 69% shall be divided evenly among the ten agencies. 1% shall be allocated to the San Andreas Fire Protection District to compensate them for protecting non-tax paying properties (Government Center, Jail, Courthouse, Hospital, etc.). 30% shall be proportionately allocated to each agency based on their share of the county population.

There is a specific provision to the City of Angels that no more than 5% can be used for administrative costs and professional services.

Each year, by June 1, the agency must provide a response improvement plan and budget detailing how it will use the revenue in the upcoming fiscal year. Should the measure pass, agencies will have 30 days to submit plans for the remainder of the Fiscal Year 2022-23.

Each agency may include a provision to retain up to 10% of funds as a cash carry to be used as a reserve for volatility in the revenue source. Any funds not spent by an agent shall be returned to the County to be allocated the following year. Should revenue exceed 110% of the estimated amounts, the excess shall be retained and distributed the next year.

Each agency shall have the appropriations limit increased by the amount received. This increase shall be in effect so long as the County holds a timely election every four years, making it possible for agencies to spend revenue from the tax.

Based on initial estimates, the City of Angels would receive approximately 8% of the total receipts of the new tax proceeds. Based on past sales tax trends, this would equate to an increase of $528,000+/- annually.

Ballot Fiscal Statement
The Calaveras County Auditor was asked to provide a Fiscal Impact Statement for Measure A. The response is as follows:

An election will be held on November 8, 2022, regarding the imposition of one percent (1%) transactions and use tax on all tangible personal property sales at retail throughout Calaveras County. This Measure will also impose a 1% use tax on the storage or other consumption of tangible personal property purchased from any retailer within the County. The following information is submitted in compliance with Section 9160(c) of the California Elections Code.

The potential fiscal impact of the Measure to the County on revenues and expenditures depends on several factors.

CITY HALL
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Home of the Jumping Frog - Angelscamp.gov
The impact on expenditures to the County would be for personnel and materials costs for recording, tracking, and distributing the additional revenues for the fire districts this Measure would create. It is estimated that this would cost approximately $4,200 annually.

The impact on revenues of the County because of the Measure is not entirely known. Sales tax revenues are based on consumer spending. While the Measure creates an additional amount of sales tax revenue coming into the County Treasury, this will be deposited into a newly created fund, the Calaveras Local Fire Protection Account. These funds will not be County funds but will be split according to the Measure for local fire agencies. The County will continue to receive its allocation of collected sales taxes and thus the Measure may not impact the County sales tax revenues. Every applicable transaction would include 1% for the County, plus 1/2% if made in the incorporated area of the City of Angels, and with passage of the Measure an additional 1% to benefit local fire agencies.

It is uncertain if the increase in sales tax due to the Measure will affect consumer spending. /s/ Kathy Gomes

The current sales tax rate within the City of Angels is 7.75%. 7.25% is the State rate which is 6% for the State and .25% for the County, and 1% for the City. The City increase the local Sales Tax by .5% as of April 2019.

Should Measure A pass, the City’s new sales tax rate will be 8.75%, while the unincorporated portions of Calaveras County will be 8.25%.

Legally, the City would not be restricted from proposing new sales tax initiatives because the GANN Limit (Appropriations Limit) would be increased as part of the Measure. Logistically, a new City tax measure would unlikely be successful, as it would push the City tax at or above 9%, whereas the rest of the county would remain at 8.25%.

The current Tuolumne County Tax rate is 7.25%, while the City of Sonora is 7.75% (same as the City of Angels). Sonora City Council has a tax increase measure on the November 2022 ballot to increase to

8.75%.

If Sonora succeeds, the tax rate would be very similar to Calaveras and the City of Angels. This could mitigate consumer behavior concerns causing revenue to bleed outside the County. However, should Sonora’s measure fail and Calaveras’s measure pass, it is unknown if the 1-1.5% savings in sales tax would drive consumers to shop outside the county and city.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Unknown currently. Sales tax is derived from available shopping opportunities and consumer behavior.

Depending on the outcome of the Calaveras and Tuolumne elections, it could be an increase to the City of Angels, specifically for Fire related expenditures. Should Calaveras pass and Tuolumne fail, a decrease in the City’s general Sales Tax, which is used for general overall operations, is possible.

RE: DISCUSSION OF CURRENT PROJECT STATUSES

RECOMMENDATION
None

BACKGROUND
The City of Angels has any number of capital projects occurring at any given time. Staff is so busy working with them; that we can sometimes forget to provide updates for Council and the Public. This report is a brief overview of the status and next steps.

DISCUSSION
Angels Creek Trail – The initial phase is wrapping up. The Cultural review is slated e wrapped up within the next six weeks. The circulation of the Environmental Document is anticipated for November/December. After that occurs, Right of Way discussions can occur around March/April/May of 2023. Currently, the City has approximately $300k from CMAQ (Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality) funding remaining from the 2017/18 funding. Additionally, the City has CMAQ allocation from the 2021/22 and 2022/23 programming of funds. Calaveras County Council of Governments has released their Call for Projects using RSTP and CMAQ funding. CMAQ totals $1,785,000 for 2023/24 through 2026/27. Staff will bring forward the recommendation to approve the request to submit the Angels Creek Project to align with these funds.

City-Wide Roadway Safety Signs- Staff is working on an RFP for the sign project approved by Council on August 2, 2022. The project is slated to be completed by December 31, 2022 and uses HSIP (Highway Safety Improvement Programs) funding for $122,475.

Utica Park- This is a combination of many projects. 1) The City applied for and was granted CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) funding for Utica Kitchen Improvements and a Generator. The basis was to create a proper commercial kitchen and have emergency power if the City had significant 7G

power outages caused by disasters. 2) The City received a CDBG grant for business grants to be used by Destination Angels Camp (DAC). Debbie Ponte and the DAC Board determined that the administrative burden of managing a program like that was impossible for them to take on. Staff requested that the funding be reprogrammed to be used on ADA-compliant bathrooms. Currently, the park uses ADAcompliant portable bathrooms. 3) The Angels Camp Community Club raised $135,000 to help pay for new playground equipment. 4) The City was awarded $177k in Per Capita funds to assist in replacing playground equipment. 5) The City has been awarded $3 million in a Recreation and Tourism grant to expand Utica Park. Across all projects, completion is slated for March 2025, with the Kitchen Improvement completion in 2022, the Generator in 2022, and the playground in 2023.

Police Gun Range- the Police Department is required to train regularly, and a project was approved as part of the 2022/23 budget. The funds being used are Prop 172, and the completion is in 2022.

Downtown Main Street Sidewalk Repairs- An RFP is being developed to be brought forward to Council on October 4th for approval to release. Work is to be performed sometime this fall or winter. After completing the project, staff will request reimbursement for CSJVRMA for $2,500 in risk mitigation funding. Frog plaques for 2021 and 2022 will be installed as part of this project.

CalTrans 49 Mobility Project- This is a SHOPP (State Highway Operation and Protection Program) project.

This project will add sidewalks down to Utica Park for ADA accessibility and complete other sidewalks throughout Angels. The initial layout has been developed, and staff is currently reviewing landscape details to present to the Planning Commission.

Water Treatment Plant Improvement Project- Staff is working with engineering to develop design agreements to bring forward to Council in October and finalize the budget and funding agreements with the State Water Resources Control Board. The current plan is to be able to go to construction by the summer/fall of 2023
East Trunk Sewer Phase I/Vallecito Road Sewer Replacement/ Booster Way Sewer Replacement/ Angels Creek Water Line Replacement- These projects have all been discussed as separate and distinct projects; their location and impacts all align with one another based on design effort, funding strategies, or priority. As such, the staff has decided to combine efforts across all of them. A Hazard Mitigation Grant was submitted to address the Booster Way Sewer, East Angels Trunk Pipe Lining, and Angels Creek Water Line replacement. COVID Relief and local funding will address Vallecito Road Pipe Bursting and East Angels Trunk Sewer Replacement. Currently, the Right of Way for East Trunk Sewer has been sent and meetings set with property owners. Four properties would require permanent easements, and all the

remaining would be temporary easements. The staff harked through all Requests for Information from CalOES, and FEMA is reviewing the package. Notification should be coming shortly. Due to the timing of creek accessibility and bird nesting, there are time constraints that will also be taken into consideration.

Based on this and the impacts on the Habitat for Humanity Project, the staff is trying to get construction scheduled for the Summer of 2023.

Wayfinding Signs- Calaveras County is administering this project. The City is well ahead of the County as the design concepts were already done, and it has already been established where the location of signs is requested. Caltrans is pushing to get the signs installed by next spring/summer. As such, a reasonable timeframe for expectation is 12-18 months.

Pavement Management- The City had a pavement management report done in 2019. Staff is working with engineering to develop a database to align pavement management priorities with other projects that could impact the timing of that work. Pavement repairs and replacements would be funded with a combination of Gas Tax, Local Transportation Funding (LTF), and other restricted funding based on availability.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
As projects have funding or need identified that have not yet been budgeted, staff will bring them forward to Council for Approval.

RECOMMENDATION
No action is required.

DISCUSSION
This is a weekly report to capture what departments have been doing the week prior that would be beneficial to let the Council and the Public know of.

Administration Update
I worked with Amy on getting an appraiser for the Lightner Mine property. I sent out press releases for the Utica Expansion grant. I continued updating the website to include updated forms and workflows. Prepared documentation for staff receiving Community Portal requests and how to use the workflows. I sent information to Jessica Johnston and had a phone call with her about a Shop Local Program that the City could work with ACBA on. The website is LIVE! and looks pretty great if I do say so myself. Staff have been directed to push callers there as much as possible and use it as a resource. Email migration was a little painful. It was an issue because no one on the team had access to the old email server, and the City was commingled with other clients of Computer Firemen, which is not usual—met with County about Integrated Waste. We will update the City website with IWM information to ensure the correct messaging is going out to the public. I had a meeting with Dewberry and Blackwater to get a plan for the Water Treatment Improvement Plan. We will need a task order or amendment to cover the engineering services on the project. Had an Engineering check-in with Aaron. Angels Creek Trail environmental is close to being complete. It is confirmed that we can use CMAQ for acquisition, but not the negotiations. We will need to identify funding for that component. I had an interview with HDL about economic development, specifically about the shop local program they can assist us with if ACBA agrees to help with outreach. We discussed this with Citygate. I am thrilled with the progress and will release the employee and community surveys on 8/29. I 10A

Rumors began to start amongst students and parents. PD investigated possible threats of a school shooting related to the ammunition. The threats were never corroborated after interviewing multiple students. Due to concerns, PD increased its presence with the assistance of 4 CHP units at BH and MT schools. The involved student is being relocated by family to the Nevada area and will not be returning to MT. - Staff completed concrete work on the range, and a Tuff Storage unit was delivered on Thursday - Chief was out Weds-Fri with an illness
Engineering Update
I discussed with the PM on Angels Creek Trail to get an update. Currently in the process of completing the cultural and environmental reports. These should be done by April 2023. Once that occurs, Right of Way discussions can occur. I confirmed with CCOG that CMAQ funding could be programmed for property acquisition. Talk with City Administrator on Call for Projects. Working on project list to bring forward to City Council October 4th to meet October 12 deadline for CCOG.

RE: NEWS AND NOTES FOR THE WEEK OF AUGUST 29, 2022

RECOMMENDATION
No action is required.

DISCUSSION
The Council needs to see and the public to be aware of the work done daily by hardworking staff. With COVID, the regular communications and updates ended, while staff has made meaningful progress across all of the City’s functions. The Council will get these weekly reports as there are updates to give.

Administration Update
Attended a Small Water System webinar that will require the City to have a Drought Contingency plan developed before 1/1/2023. The City also has until 2024 to implement various leak detection measures.

I will include the AMI project as part of the DWR grant package. I had a call with Lorie Adams, Dennis Dong, and the Fire Chief to discuss the status of the firehouse. The budget includes design and offsetting grant funds to proceed. I gave Dennis authority to move ahead based on the previous efforts and continued with email migration cleanup and working with Coneth on the onsite deliverables.

Identified a few carry-over issues from the last setup email, and Coneth resolved them. It continued working on outreach for the community and employee surveys. I talked to Foothill Village, posted in the post offices and the library, put out public notices, and reached out to every homeowner's association and community group within the City to get the word out. As of 9/2/22, 12 employees and 77 residents had responded. I talked to Savemart and Angels Food to start the discussions and notifications of Sb 1383 that will impact both of them. Met with Dennis Haglan and Matt Satow to discuss options for the Call for projects and to get an update on the Angels Creek Trail and discussions on encroachments for the new Firehouse should funding become available for construction and created an internal SharePoint for Departments to submit agenda information. It was working with Rose and finishing a City Council 10B

I met with UWPA and UPUD to discuss updates and information that could impact all of us. Closed Escrow on the sale to MACT. I will work with Michelle to open the Bank of Stockton account. ACBA is 100% on the Shop Local program, which will be discussed at the September 20th meeting. Bret Harte contacted us that the crosswalk timer needs to be fixed. Staff had that addressed within a couple of days. I was working with Michelle to finish up year-end items to complete the cash close in September and the trial balance available with adjusting entries by October for Larry Bain to begin the audit and work to have the 6/30/22 audit completed by 12/31/22.

Coordination with Planning on the engineering fee schedule for large development projects. The current structure doesn’t align with actual work efforts and presents a financial burden. I suggested using a lower deposit and agreeing on the threshold to keep it at a pay-go approach. Reduces the likelihood of a City refund to the developer.

Springbrook Migration - We had some issues with payroll but were able to process the first week after conversion. Utility Billing had changes to the system after testing, which caused errors for Andrea in processing. After many phone calls with support, Andrea could figure out the fix, as Springbrook was still confused about the error. A big Thank You to Andrea for her hard work on this project to ensure billings were sent timely and had the correct information. Year End Audit - Moving forward with preparation for the year-end Single Audit. Larry Bain is scheduled to come to the City for Testing the week of October 11th - 14th. We will be on schedule to have financial statements in December 2022.

Bank of Stockton - Moving forward with setting up new accounts with the Bank of Stockton. We will migrate slowly as we have to order new materials for the bank account, but we will have the new tab open within the next week.

I was on vacation this week. However, I discussed with Michelle additional information that should be collected for the Council meeting regarding updated ATCAA participation—worked with Rose to get Alicia access to an iPad for training—working with Police Chief on policy for events serving alcohol to ensure that the City has a stance that professional security is required or limited in size to allow our staff to provide protection. Continued outreach while away for updates on the grid system and PSPS information. Discussed procedural changes in Accounts Payable with Michelle to capitalize on the usage of the CalCard and rebate offers to generate revenue and eliminate late charges. Discussed with Planning and Finance a situation where a commercial use was changed, and the owner was frustrated that they were still being charged the commercial rate. The City cannot know that use changes unless the owner tells us. The responsibility resides with the owner and occupant. They are working with Coneth to close out the 365 email migration project. Provided the adopted Call for Projects guidelines to Engineering from CCOG. Contacted Springbrook regarding some outstanding issues that need to be resolved.

That verification is expected on 9/19/22. The staff has scheduled 9/20 to discuss property purchase with Council. Staff has prepared a project management outline for the first few phases of the Utica park project. Special events and banner coordination continued (Homecoming, Christmas, Brew Crawl, and Daughters of Darkness). Staff reached the San Joaquin Conservation Corps and will be meeting with that agency (with the City Fire Marshal) to perform site preparation on the park acquisition site tentatively in December (tree removal etc.)
Finance Update
Busy week in the office with more foot traffic in the office of customers coming in to address their utility bill accounts and still working out issues with the Springbrook upgrade. Randomly one person will get dropped from the system and lose what they were working on. We believe this is on the Springbrook side because only one person will loose connection. We will work with Springbrook to see if this connection error can be corrected. Some other issues with the upgrade have come up regarding billing issues, and we are working through the details of what is causing this issue—working on close year-end clean-up. Larry Bain, CPA, will be at City Hall the week of Oct. 11 - 14 to begin testing on the audit.
