SPEAKER RULES
Welcome to a meeting of the Antioch City Council. Your attendance is appreciated. The State Ralph M.

Unagendized comments are provided until no later than 7:30 p.m. when the City Council moves on to agenda items. There is another opportunity for public comments at the end of the meeting.
If you wish to speak, either during "public comments" or during an agenda item, fill out a Speaker Request Form and place in the Speaker Card Tray near the City Clerk .

Mayor Thorpe led the Pledge of Allegiance.
SM-1. REDISTRICTING: RECEIPT OF PUBLIC INPUT AND SELECTION OF FINAL MAP
City Attorney Smith presented the staff report dated March 11, 2022, recommending that the City Council receive public comment and select the final redistricting map redefining the boundaries of all City Council electoral districts of the City.
Laurie Ratterree stated she was disappointed with the redistricting process . She spoke in support of draft map 91 and questioned why it was not supported by the majority of Council.
Kathy Cabrera, Antioch resident, expressed concern there was not enough advanced notice for this meeting and it was scheduled at a time when residents were unable to attend. She spoke in support of draft map 521 because it followed the guidelines of the Fair Maps Act. She encouraged residents to sign the recall initiative.
Lindsay Amezcua stated she was disappointed with the redistricting procedures and felt the public had been left out of the process.
Mary Rocha stated she was disappointed with the redistricting process and felt actions previously taken favored a Councilmember.
Allen Payton requested Council support draft map 521 because it followed major thoroughfares, did not divide communities of interest, and had a small population deviation. He felt draft map A modified was drawn to move Councilmember Ogorchock out of her district.
Sandy Hartrick stated she was disappointed with the redistricting process and felt modified draft map A did not meet criteria of the Fair Maps Act. She requested Council select the map drawn by residents and cautioned that if they chose not to, they would be exposing themselves to a lawsuit.

DISCUSSION
The Planning Division is responsible for the development and administration of programs that guide the physical development of Antioch, including the General Plan, a variety of Specific Plans and the City's Zoning Ordinance. These policies establish the framework and vision for future development in the City. The Division uses these policies in the review, management, and processing of development applications as well as related compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
CEQA
For development applications where CEQA is required, the City uses technical consultants to provide expertise and project management. The consultants work with specialists who prepare studies and supporting documentation to satisfy the J

environmental review. Analysis varies based on project scope and may include air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, soils, and noise as well as other factors.
Contract Planning Services
For projects that have multiple entitlements such as large residential subdivisions, staff will use the services of a contract planner to manage the entitlement review as well as the CEQA analysis. The contract planner serves as an extension of City staff by managing the application process, coordinating with City staff and the applicant on completeness/scheduling, writing reports and making presentations to the Planning Commission and City Council. Projects that are processed by contract planners are typically a multi-year review process and require coordination with regional agencies as well as City departments.
Request for Qualifications
A Request for Qualifications was released on February 4, 2022 and closed on March 9, 2022. The City received a total of nine (9) qualification submittals. Of the submittals, staff has selected three (3) consultants to enter into a contract services agreement. • Raney Consultants-provides both CEQA and On-Call Services and has an existing contract with the City
• Stantec-provides CEQA services only and has an existing contract with City • MIG Consultants-provides both CEQA and On-Call services and can provide day to day staffing if requested
Staff selected Raney Consultants and Stantec based on their successful past efforts in Antioch. While new, MIG Consultants will provide another option for CEQA services and can also provide staffing if requested.

CT: Unhoused Resident Services - Fall 2022 Cycle State of California Homekey Program and Executive Inn Located at 515 East 18th Street
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council receive the presentation and adopt the resolution:
1) Auth
orizing the City to pursue State of California Homekey Program funding for housing opportunities associated with the Executive Inn located at 515 East 18th Street;
2) Pledging the 5 year City commitment of a subsidy estimated at $12.3 million dollars in local funds; and
3) Authorizing p ursuit of the public procurement process to identify an experienced developer partner to assist with financing, development, long term ownership and operations of the future Homekey site.
FISCAL IMPACT
With Homekey financing, an enforceable funding commitment is required for the first five years of capital and operating expenses incurred over a 15 -year time horizon. The enforceable funding commitment is a subsidy that obligates the City to expend local funds that match Homekey resources.
The City’s financial commitment is
estimated at $12.3M for int erim housing over t he first five years o f t he pr oject. Funding for o ngoing operations f or t he remainder of the regulatory period will need to be identified. To the extent the developer and City can work collectively to secure additional capital and operating funding, the City commitment may be reduced.
A five year projection of the General Fund indicates that expenditure of $12.3M would
deplete the reserves and budget stabilization fund in FY 2027.
CHJ
Antioch City Council Report
April 26, 2022 Agenda Item 6 2
At the City Council meeting on April 12, 2022, $5.7M in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds were allocated for a two year Non -Congregate B ridge Housing pilot initiative. Reducing the initial lease term would enable the City to apply these funds to the Homekey interim housing model.
DISCUSSION
A presentation on the State of California’s Homekey Program was provided to the City Council at a regular meeting on February 22, 2022. At that time, staff was directed to evaluate several scenarios within the context of Homekey financing requirements. The scenarios considered were the Executive Inn, several City owned parcels and a commercial property yet to be acquired. The conclusion of the exercise was that the Executive Inn was the only property that met the aggressive timelines and threshold requirements of the Homekey program should the City wish to move forwar d with a successful application.
I
n order to accomplish preparation of a competitive application and prioritize efforts, City staff requests that the City Council consider its position on Homekey financing for the identified location. A presentation has been prepared that captures the following elements that aim to assist with Council deliberations:
1. Revisit of Homekey Program Elements
2. Executive Inn as a Prospective Homekey Site
3. Role of a Developer Partner
4. State Resources & City Commitments
5. Proposed Approach (RFP/RFQ, Product Type TBD, Developer as Future Owner)

EXECUTIVE INN
HOMEKEY FINANCING
CITY OF ANTIOCH
PRESENTER: JEREE GLASSER - HEDRICK, HOUSING DIRECTOR | April 26,2022
ATTACHMENT B
HOMEKEY PROGRAM
Homekey is a new state financing program developed in response to the pandemic
• It is designed to provide capital to projects throughout California to rapidly expand housing options for households experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness
• The Homekey program provides capital and a limited-duration operating subsidy match to a local contribution
• The program has very quick construction and occupancy requirements which make motel conversion sites very competitive for funding
HOMEKEY FUNDING AVALIABLE
Funding Rounds
• To date, there have been two rounds of funding
• First round was released in summer of 2021 and included $600 Million of funding • The second round of funding was released in fall of 2021 and included $1.45 Billion of funding ($250,000 was funded from general funds)
• It is closing May 2, 2022
• They are oversubscribed and plan to fund some projects beyond the $1.45 Billion • The third round of funding has been announced for October 2022 • In the 2021-2022 budget, $2.2 billion in funding was approved for Homekey • There is approximately $1 billion remaining for projects that were submitted but not funded in the second round and for round three
EXECUTIVE INN AS HOMEKEY SITE
The Executive Inn is Competitive
• City conducted an objective evaluation of other potential sites • The Executive Inn is a competitive site to receive Homekey funding if an application is submitted upon NOFA release (October 2022)
• It can be renovated and occupied within the Homekey timeframe • The owners of the motel are willing to negotiate a sale in addition to a lease for the non-congregate bridge housing model
• The Bay Area has been allocated Homekey resources in the last two rounds
EXECUTIVE INN AND PARTNERSHIP
Role of a Developer/Partner is Important
• Given limited capacity of the City owning and operating long-term affordable housing, inclusion of an experienced developer/partner makes sense • Experienced partners aid in meeting threshold requirements and result in developments that have long-term operational and asset management expertise • Partners relieve the City of liability regarding property ownership and the obligation of addressing ongoing operational and financial responsibilities • City will retain oversite of the developer’s obligations and commitments through a regulatory agreement leaving the City with control over the site
EXECUTIVE INN RESOURCES
A Homekey Award and Local Funding Commitment
• Homekey provides robust capital and limited operating subsidy, but Homekey does not cover 100% of capital and operating costs of a development • To leverage the maximum amount of Homekey funding, a local funding commitment is required
• The City will need to provide the difference between the capital and operating costs of the project and what the Homekey Program and the development partner can leverage
• Ownership of the site will greatly reduce cost of development in comparison to the Non-Congregate Bridge Housing model
LOCAL FINANCING COMMITMENT
Funding from the City will be necessary to make Homekey a success • A capital and operating commitment will be necessary
• Both will help leverage Homekey proceeds and create project feasibility • Assuming an interim site, the capital and 5-year operational costs of the Homekey development are estimated to require $12.3 million in local resources • City commitment could be offset if the selected developer brings resources to the development
EXECUTIVE INN PARTNER SELECTION
Selection of an Experienced Partner is Critical to Funding and Operating Success • City should control the Executive Inn site via lease with option to purchase • City would release a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Executive Inn, requesting a site-specific proposal for a developer, owner, and operator • City should provide reference to a local financial commitment in RFP not to exceed the difference between the cost to acquire, renovate, and operate for 5 years and the estimated Homekey commitment
• City and developer can work to reduce this commitment by supplanting it with other funding
NEXT STEPS
Dual Track the Executive Inn as a Non-Congregate Bridge Housing Site and a Fall 2022 Homekey Application • Finalize lease negotiations with owner resulting in lease with option to purchase (Non-Congregate Bridge Housing & Homekey)

DIS
CUSSION
The City of Antioch, in partnership with the Contra Costa T ransportation Author ity (“CCTA”) and the Street Smarts Diablo Safe Routes to Schools program, proposes the development of a state-of-the-art Bicycle Garden in Antioch. The Bicycle Garden would City Council Staff Report
April 26, 2022 Agenda Item 7 2
be a permanent, hands -on bicyc le training facility fully contained within an existing Antioch park . Designed like a m iniature city streetscape , the Ga rden would provide a safe place for youth and adults to ride bikes and learn the rule s-of-the-road. The park would consist of small roads that weave in and around landscaped areas wi th smaller scaled versions of real-life traffic features including signals, traffic signs, road markings, bus stops, bike lanes, train tracks, etc.
The
City Council discussed this concept at t he regular meeting of May 25 th, 2021.
Council provided staff direction to take the item to the Parks and Recreation Commission and ask them to establish an Ad- Hoc Committee tasked with conducting public outreac h and e valuating potential locations, then returning with a recommendation for the top t hree. An ad-hoc committee was formed at the Parks and Recreation Commission regular meeting of June 17th, 2021.
The
Ad -Hoc Committee held three public workshops to inform the public about t he proposed project and obtain feedback about possible locations. An online survey was also conducted and received over 150 responses.
At th
e regular meeting of November 18, 2021, t he Parks and Recreation Commission selected three finalists for the Bicycle Garden for the C ity Council to consider. The three parks recommended include Chichibu Park, Gentrytown Park, and Prewett Community Park. It is recommended that the City Council selec t their preference for the location of the Bicycle Garden along with one alternate in case the preferred ch oice is later determined to be unfeasible.
CCT
A has been identified as an ideal part ner for the project, has volunteered to be the project lead and provide project oversight at no additional cost to the City . They have already completed preliminary work on t he concept and have worked closely with City staff on the development and community outreach phase of the p roject. Additionally, CCTA maintain s a n on-call stable of consultants who can begin the design work immediately, whereas if the City were to seek a c onsultant directly, a procurement process would be required that would substantially delay the start of the design phase.
CCTA has identified T.Y. Lin International Group as the architect for this project. Th e City will be solely responsible for the expense of professional consulting services which will be defined in an agreement prepared for future City Council action.

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of April 26, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Thomas Lloyd Smith, City Attorney TLS
SUBJECT: Discussion Item: Tobacco Ordinance Grace Period Temporarily Suspending the Implementation of New Restrictions on Sales of Tobacco or Tobacco Products with Characterizing Flavor, Electronic Cigarettes, Cigars, and Little Cigars
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council provide direction to staff concerning:
1. Whether staff should prepare an amendment to the tobacco ordinance implementing a grace period temporarily suspending the implementation of new restrictions on sales of tobacco or tobacco products with characterizing flavor, electronic cigarettes, cigars, and little cigars;
2. The duration of the grace period, if any and
3. Whether staff should focus on community education and suspend enforcement activity until the passage of the amendment to the ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
DISCUSSION
The City Council recently passed an ordinance amending section 6-8.02 of the Antioch Municipal Code to add the d efinitions of c haracterizing flavor, cigar, and l ittle cigar (including Cigarillo) and amending section 6- 8.14 to restrict tobacco retailers or businesses from selling or providing tobacco with characterizing flavor, selling or providing electronic cigarettes or e- cigarettes, and to regulate the size and price of specified packages of cigarettes, little cigars, and cigars.
Since passing the ordinance, the City Council has heard public comment from tobacco retailers and businesses selling tobacco products expressing the desire for a grace period temporarily suspending the implementation of new restric tions on sales of tobacco or tobacco products with characterizing flavor, electronic cigarettes, cigars, and little cigars Antioch City Council Report
April 26, 2022 Agenda Item #8 2
to enable businesses to sell their existing inventory and transition into compliance with the new ordinance.
The City Council could institute such a grace period by directing staff to draft an amendment to the ordinance that inserts a grace period prior to the commencement of enforcement activities. The grace period would enable tobacco retailers and businesses to sell their existing inventory and prepare to come into compliance with the new ordinance. During the period prior to the passage of the new ordinance, Council can also direct staff to focus on educating the community about the new ordinance, rather tha n engaging in immediate enforcement.

Over Hire of Sworn Police Officers
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that City Council discuss and direct staff regarding the over hire of sworn police officers.
FISCAL IMPACT
If the salary savings from expected officer departures is equal to or greater than the salary expenditures on new officers secured via over hiring, then over hiring may not have an immediate impact because salaries paid during the current fiscal year would come from existing salary savings. If sworn police over hiring is implemented, the need for a budget amendment would be evaluated in conjunction with the budget process and subject to City Council's direction to staff.
DISCUSSION
On February 11, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020/22 that authorized the immediate over hiring of sworn police officer's positions by up to six (6) sworn police officers above the current authorized allocated staffing level. The rationale for over hiring some vacancies within the Antioch Police Department were anticipated due to service retirements, medical retirements, and normal attrition. Therefore, staff believed it was prudent to be proactive and begin recruiting prior to the vacancies occurring.
The current authorized allocated staffing level is 115 sworn officers. Staff expects to have vacancies due to the same range of issues described in the above paragraph.
It is staffs understanding that the City Council would like to discuss the over hiring of sworn police officers.
