Item 10.a.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Whitney McDonald, City Manager
SUBJECT: Receive an Update on Progress Toward Council Goals and Priorities for Fiscal Year 2021-22
DATE: February 22, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:

Continued consideration of an update regarding the progress made toward meeting the City Council’s Goals and Priorities for Fiscal Year 2021-22.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

There are no financial impacts associated with receipt of the update regarding progress toward meeting Council’s Fiscal Year 2021-22 Goals and Priorities.

RECOMMENDATION:

Receive an update regarding progress toward the City Council’s Fiscal Year 2021-22 Goals and Priorities.

BACKGROUND:

This item was continued from the February 8, 2022 City Council meeting agenda due to a lack of sufficient time to discuss the item.

On September 22, 2020, the City Council adopted a list of Top 10 Council Priorities for Fiscal Year 2020-21 to help prioritize and focus staff work efforts for the year. On March 23, 2021, Council received an update regarding the City’s progress toward completing the Top 10 Priorities and directed that a process be undertaken each year to establish the Council’s goals and priorities.

On April 27, 2021, Council considered and approved a list of Council Goals and Priorities for Fiscal Year 2021-22 (Goals and Priorities) (Attachment 1) to help direct the work of the Council and City staff during the applicable biennial budget cycle. The identified Goals and Priorities were grouped under three main categories: Investing in the Future, Investing in the City’s Infrastructure and Facilities, and Investing in People. A number of key considerations guided the development of the Goals and Priorities, including Top 10 Priorities not completed during Fiscal Year 2020-21, items identified as new priorities as

Item 10.a.

City Council

a result of the work completed in Fiscal Year 2020-21, items required to support the ongoing operations of the City’s enterprises and infrastructure, and emergent needs continuing to result from the COVID-19 pandemic and turnover in City staff. The Goals and Priorities were updated as part of the Fiscal Year 2021-23 Biennial Budget presentation and adoption in June 2021 to include estimated time frames for completion.

While the Goals and Priorities were incorporated into the Biennial Budget, which spans two years, the identified work items focused on Fiscal Year 2021-22 with a stated intent to review and update the Council approved Goals and Priorities each year This report provides an update regarding the City’s progress on completing the identified Goals and Priorities for Fiscal Year 2021-22, with a focus on the first half of the Fiscal Year.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

Significant progress has been made toward accomplishing a number of Goals and Priorities for Fiscal Year 2021-22. Some items, however, have experienced delays and will take more time to complete or are ongoing in nature. Table 1 below identifies each Goal and Priority, the estimated timeframe for completion provided as part of the Biennial Budget, and a status report in the far-right column.

23. During the course of the Fiscal Year 2021-22, emerging issues in certain areas have created the need to readjust priorities. For instance, significant staff time and resources have been required to respond to the current drought and the need to declare and implement a Stage 1 Water Shortage Emergency. This work effort was not anticipated as part of the Goals and Priorities and resulted in the redirection of staff resources.

Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to create operational constraints for the City, creating delays due to staff outages. Other emerging issues and Council-directed priorities, such as changes at the Integrated Waste Management Authority, implementation of State legislation (e.g. SB 1383 and SB 9), development of a permanent parklet program, etc., have also adjusted staff work efforts during Fiscal Year 2021-22.

These considerations have resulted in delays for some items identified in the Goals and Priorities.

Staff will continue making progress toward meeting the Goals and Priorities established for Fiscal Year 2021-22, as described above. A new goal-setting process will be undertaken in April 2022 to review and adjust the Goals and Priorities as needed and desired by Council for the upcoming Fiscal Year.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:

1. Receive an update regarding progress toward the City Council’s Fiscal Year 2021- 22 Goals and Priorities; or

2. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Receiving the status report on the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Goals and Priorities provides an update to the Council and the public on the City’s efforts toward completing and accomplishing a number of vital work efforts. This review may assist in the development of new goals and priorities for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2022-23.

DISADVANTAGES:

There are no disadvantages identified at this time.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Whitney McDonald, City Manager
Steve Lieberman, Five Cities Fire Chief/Executive Officer Michael Martinez, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Discussion Regarding Municipal Code Requirements Related to the Sale and Discharge of Class C (“Safe and Sane”) Fireworks DATE: February 22, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:

Discussion and direction regarding potential amendments to Municipal Code Chapter

8.08 – Fireworks.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

No financial impact to the City is projected.

RECOMMENDATION:

Discuss Arroyo Grande Municipal Code Section 8.08 related to the sale and discharge of Class C (“Safe and Sane”) fireworks, and provide direction to staff regarding potential changes to the existing code section, such as a complete prohibition of fireworks in the City or other modifications.

BACKGROUND:

Chapter 8.08 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code lays out the City’s current fireworks program, which allows the sale and discharge of fireworks approved by the California Fire Marshall (also known as “safe and sane” fireworks) within the City, subject to certain limitations and requirements. The City’s fireworks program has been discussed by the City Council at various times over the years. Most recently, Municipal Code Section

8.08.100 was revised in 2019 to limit the public discharge of safe and sane fireworks to July 4th only. Following the receipt of renewed questions and concerns from the public regarding the City’s current fireworks program, the City Council directed staff at its January 11, 2022 regular meeting to schedule a future agenda item to discuss potential amendments to the City’s current fireworks program.

Discussion Regarding Municipal Code Requirements Related to the Sale and Discharge of Class C (“Safe and Sane”) Fireworks
February 22, 2022

Page 2 ends

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

The provisions contained in Chapter 8.08 of the City’s Municipal Code (Attachment 1) delineate the conditions under which the sale and discharge of safe and sane fireworks may occur within the City. Sales may occur only at temporary booths permitted by the City’s fire chief, now the Five Cities Fire Authority (FCFA) Fire Chief/Executive Officer, operated and maintained by a recognized charitable, civic or patriotic group or organization. Applications for permits to sell fireworks must be filed with the FCFA between March 1-April 15 each year. The maximum number of permits available each year is limited to one permit per each three thousand (3,000) residents of the City, resulting in a current total of six (6) available permits at this time. Sales are permitted to occur between noon on June 28th through noon on July 5th. As mentioned above, Municipal Code Section 8.08.100 allows fireworks to be discharged on July 4th only but without specifying the time of day. The result is that safe and sane fireworks may be discharged in the City from 12:00 am through 11:59 pm on July 4th.

When the FCFA was formed in 2010 and assumed management of the annual fireworks concessions program, Arroyo Grande and Grover Beach modified their Municipal Codes in an effort to allow for more consistent program management. Since the City last amended Section 8.08.100, the other member communities served by the FCFA have revised their applicable code/regulation and limited the discharge of fireworks to July 4th between the hours of 10am-10pm. A review of the codes and regulations adopted by each of the FCFA’s member agencies have revealed a few additional distinctions between the agencies’ fireworks booth management and sales regulations. In the event that Council desires to modify the City’s existing fireworks program, the FCFA recommends considering the following proposals (as related to Arroyo Grande) to better align the three FCFA member agencies regulations:

Subject: Ban all fireworks: 2/22/22 agenda item
Date: Thursday, February 17, 2022 1:23:56 PM
I fully support a complete ban of ALL fireworks in the city of Arroyo Grande. The drought conditions continue to exacerbate our wildfire risks and for the city council to turn its back on the high fire risk that ALL fireworks pose is to be irresponsible to the citizens of Arroyo Grande. I remember meeting personally with both the Fire Chief and the former Police Chief about this issue and both acknowledged that ALL fireworks, which of course include the 'safe and sane' fireworks, are a fire hazard.

The city council can assist the nonprofits in helping them transition their fundraising efforts away from fireworks to something else that does not create a high risk of wildfire and injuries.

The loss of our community or even some homes in our community should be valued far above that of the proceeds from the sale of fireworks. Playing with fire should never be an option.

Subject: Petition to ban all fireworks
Date: Friday, February 18, 2022 11:49:30 AM
As suggested by the petition, comments should be emailed to the city council before the scheduled meeting on 2/22/2022. I have never objected to the use of safe and sane fireworks on the fourth of July to compliment the holiday celebrations. However, because of the uncontrolled use of illegal fireworks in Oceano and the surrounding area at all times of the year (not just the fourth of July) it has forced me to support the banning of all fireworks.

Many times I have been awakened by loud booms on work and school nights and they are a very frightening experiences at that time of night. Plus I have to get up early for work the next day and it makes it very hard to get back to sleep expecting another boom to happened at any time. My poor little dog shakes and tries to find places to hide from the noise even though I give her medication. I should not have to bear the cost of medication for my dog because of these illegal activities. I think if you were to poll everyone in this area the majority would be for banning fireworks, especially because of the high fire danger that now plagues California. I realize that because of the increase in other criminal activities in this area that the police are overwhelmed with calls, but this is a serious problem also because of the danger to the public from fire.

Thank you

Subject: City Council Meeting February 22, 2022 Agendized Fireworks Discussion Comment Date: Friday, February 18, 2022 10:35:23 AM
Hello Mayor, City Councilors, and Staff:

I see that this week's City Council Agenda is quite full with many important topics, including choosing the new District Voting Maps and the Fireworks Ban discussion. Because I have in the past had difficulty logging on to the remote system, I'm submitting my Fireworks Ban comments by email. I trust they will be read into the record when the Agenda item comes up.

AG City Council Meeting February 22, 2022
Good Evening, Mayor, Council Members, and Staff:

My name is Linda Busek and I live near Soto Community Park. I’m urging you to revisit the issue of a ban on fireworks here in Arroyo Grande for a number of reasons.

First, we’re experiencing yet another season of drought and California has suffered some of the worst wildfires in its history. The devastating loss of the towns of Greenville and Paradise to wildfires must be a wake-up call.

Second, Veterans suffering from PTSD are at risk from fireworks. For individuals with PTSD, explosions and noisy displays can raise anxiety levels and bring back traumatic memories of gunfire, bomb detonations, and terrifying conditions. We should honor our patriots, not terrorize them! Third, Pets and wildlife are severely impacted too. Every year hundreds of animals’ lives are endangered by fireworks. They don’t understand what is causing the loud bangs and bright flashes. Shelters report dramatic intake during fireworks season as many animals attempt to run away from, or hide from, the bangs.

Page 345 of 349 ends

Where legal fireworks are allowed illegal fireworks are a follow-on problem.

There is a black market for fireworks in places where legal sales are permitted.

Cities that ban fireworks don’t have large quantities of illegal fireworks and the resulting criminal activity. However, Council should consider beefing up enforcement during fireworks season, like Pismo Beach does, by engaging offduty police and safety officers.

I know there are folks who say they would miss the tradition of July 4th and New Year’s Eve fireworks. But professional fireworks events can be the new tradition. Nearby Pismo Beach puts on a family-friendly, welcoming event that everyone can enjoy safely.

Finally, the non-profits will insist they need to sell fireworks to fund their causes. Note: Cities where fireworks are banned have successfully pivoted to other fundraising means. The money the community groups and non-profits take in is less than the cost of a replacing ONE Arroyo Grande home. Is that really worth it?
So, before we risk losing this wonderful community we love, we must do everything we can to ameliorate the fire danger risk while respecting our veterans and safe guarding our pets. As our elected leaders, we appeal to you to do the responsible thing and ban personal fireworks. Keep Arroyo Grande safe and flourishing. Thank you!

I believe that it is a good idea to ban the sale of and use of personal fireworks in Arroyo Grande. We are in an extreme drought and we should not encourage this activity that could cause fires.

Sincerely,

Dear Members of the City Council
I hope you will vote to ban fireworks from our community as many other cities have already done in California due to the great risk of fire danger in a state suffering from drought.

Fireworks are also very frightening for our pets.

Thank you for your consideration.

City Council members:

I support a ban on the fireworks in the city limits. Due to our current drought conditions I feel we can still be patriotic in a much safer and sane manner.

I feel we should protect the members of our community who are veterans with PTSD as well as our canine friends.

Parades, a light show or joining with Pismo Beach might allow us to celebrate safely and save costs. Non-profits might sell glow in the dark lights or other items to earn funds.

Thank-you,
A. Heinrichs
