MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Nicole Valentine, Administrative Services Director BY: Lynda Horejsi, Accounting Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of Statement of Investment Deposits DATE: September 13, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Presentation of the City’s investment deposits as of July 31, 2022.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There is no funding impact to the City related to these reports. However, the City does receive interest revenue based on the interest rate of the investments. No or minimal future staff time is projected.
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file the attached report listing investment deposits of the City of Arroyo Grande as of July 31, 2022, as required by Government Code Section 53646(b).
BACKGROUND:
The Administrative Services department has historically submitted to the City Council a monthly report, providing the following information:
1. Type of investment.
2. Financial institution (bank, savings and loan, broker, etc).
3. Date of maturity.
4. Principal amount.
5. Rate of interest.
6. Current market value for all securities having a maturity of more than 12 months.
7. Relationship of the monthly report to the annual statement of investment policy.
Item 8.b.
City Council
Consideration of Statement of Investment Deposits
September 13, 2022
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
This report represents the City’s investments as of July 31, 2022. It includes all investments managed by the City, the investment institution, investment type, book value, maturity date, and rate of interest. As of July 31, 2022, the investment portfolio was in compliance with all State laws and the City’s investment policy.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Approve staff’s recommendation to receive and file the attached report listing the investment deposits;
2. Do not approve staff’s recommendation; or
3. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City. Investments are undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.
DISADVANTAGES:
Some level of risk is present in any investment transaction. Losses could be incurred due to market price changes, technical cash flow complications such as the need to withdraw a non-negotiable Time Certificate of Deposit early, or even the default of an issuer. To minimize such risks, diversifications of the investment portfolio by institution and by investment instruments are being used as much as is practical and prudent.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Directors of the Successor Agency to the Dissolved Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Agency
FROM: Nicole Valentine, Administrative Services Director SUBJECT: Consideration of Adoption of Resolution Approving the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for the Successor Agency to the Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Agency
DATE: September 13, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Adoption of the Resolution approving the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (L&F ROPS) will cover the period from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2038, and authorize the Administrative Services Director to present the L&F ROPS to the County Oversight Board for review and approval. The L&F ROPS will reduce the administrative burden on the Successor Agency and eliminate the need for Oversight Board meetings to approve the ROPS in future years.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
Adoption of the Resolution, subject to timely approval by Department of Finance (DOF), will authorize the Successor Agency to the City of Arroyo Grande to receive Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) payments for all Successor Agency obligations for each remaining fiscal year on a bi-annual basis until all approved enforceable obligations have been fully paid.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution approving the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (L&F ROPS), covering the period from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2038, and authorize the Administrative Services Director to present the L&F ROPS to the County Oversight Board for review and approval.
BACKGROUND:
The Successor Agency to the Dissolved Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Agency must submit a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) to the County Oversight Board for approval prior to submission to the California State Department of Finance (DOF). The ROPS sets forth the minimum payment amounts and due dates of payments required by enforceable obligations for each fiscal year. Following the State’s dissolution
Item 8.c.
City Council
Consideration of Adoption of Resolution Approving the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for the Successor Agency to the Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Agency
September 13, 2022
of redevelopment agencies in 2012, the ROPS approval process was done on a semiannual basis and changed to an annual basis as of fiscal year 2015-16.
After all agency obligations as set forth on the ROPS have been accepted as enforceable obligations by DOF, a successor agency is permitted to submit a Last and Final (L&F) ROPS, covering all periods until all obligations are retired. Upon approval by DOF, the L&F ROPS will establish the maximum amount of Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Funds (RPTTF) to be distributed to the Successor Agency for each remaining fiscal year until all obligations have been fully paid.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
This ROPS presented for approval by the Board of Directors of the Successor Agency to the Dissolved Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Agency is designated as being the L&F ROPS, covering the period from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2038, as recommended by the Successor Agency’s outside consultant, Doug Anderson of Urban Futures. This L&F ROPS can be submitted at any time, and DOF has 100 days within which to approve or disapprove the request. If the L&F ROPS is approved less than 15 days before the date of the property tax distribution, it shall not be effective until the subsequent RPTTF distribution period. The L&F ROPS is scheduled for approval at the next regular meeting of the County Oversight Board scheduled for September 30, 2022, after which time it will be submitted to the DOF for review and approval.
Agencies may submit a L&F ROPS if all the following conditions are met:
The remaining debt is limited to administrative costs and payments pursuant to enforceable obligations with defined payment schedules including, but not limited to, debt service, loan agreements, and contracts.
All remaining obligations have been previously listed on the ROPS and approved for payment by DOF.
The agency is not a party to outstanding/unresolved litigation.
The Successor Agency to the Dissolved Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Agency meets all of the above conditions required to submit a L&F ROPS request to the Countywide Oversight Board for approval and submission to the DOF.
At this time, the Board of Directors of the Successor Agency is being asked to approve the L&F ROPS for the period of July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2038. The L&F ROPS lists all remaining payments for the 2018 Bonds, annual bond Trustee fees for the 2018 Bonds, and annual administrative expenses of the Successor Agency. The total outstanding amount of the enforceable obligations listed on the L&F ROPS is $5,817,973. This amount includes funding for the following items:
Item 8.c.
City Council
Consideration of Adoption of Resolution Approving the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for the Successor Agency to the Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Agency
September 13, 2022
1. 2018 Tax Allocation Bonds – 2007 Bonds issued by the City’s Redevelopment Agency were refinanced in 2018 for a debt service savings of $1,179,681, net of all costs of issuance. The 2018 Bonds in the amount of $5,305,000 were issued to repay funds that had been borrowed from internal funds for start-up costs for the Redevelopment Agency and to fund new economic development and affordable housing projects. This is a 30-year debt and the last payment is due on September 1, 2037. The proposed L&F ROPS includes the repayment of this debt and covers the remaining period of the repayment obligation.
2. Administrative Costs – Per ABX1 26, the Successor Agency is eligible to receive an “administrative cost allowance” for reimbursement of the Successor Agency’s administrative costs. The amount of $12,000 is the estimated amount recommended by our advisor based on their expertise and experience working on L&F ROPS that will be needed each year for the next 15 fiscal years. Therefore, the L&F ROPS includes a total of $180,000 in reimbursable administrative costs.
3. 2018 Tax Allocation Bond Fees – A fiscal agent fee of $2,000 per year charged by Wells Fargo Bank is included in the proposed L& F ROPS, totaling $29,000.
Finally, the Indenture of Trust for the 2018 Bonds requires that the Successor Agency obtain written consent from Build America Mutual Assurance Company (“BAM”) as the insurer of the 2018 Bonds prior to filing a L&F ROPS for approval by the Countywide Oversight Board and DOF. The Successor Agency has obtained such written consent from BAM (Attachment 3).
The L&F ROPS will reduce the administrative burden on the Successor Agency and eliminate the need for Oversight Board meetings to approve the ROPS in future years.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Board of Director’s consideration:
1. Adopt the Resolution approving the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (L&F ROPS), covering the period from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2038, and authorize the Administrative Services Director to present the L&F ROPS to the County Oversight Board for review and approval;
2. Do not adopt the Resolution approving the draft Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule and provide alternate direction to staff, including continued annual preparation of the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules and submission to the Successor Agency Board, County Oversight Board, and the Department of Finance for approval; or
3. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:
Adoption of the Resolution approving the L&F ROPS will allow the DOF to distribute funding to the Successor Agency for each remaining fiscal year until all obligations have been fully paid without completing and submitting an annual ROPS to the County Oversight Board and DOF.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages have been identified to adopting the Resolution.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Whitney McDonald, City Manager
Timothy J. Carmel, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Consideration of Adoption of a Resolution Declaring a Continued Local Emergency Related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic DATE: September 13, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Adoption of the Resolution will continue the declared local emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There are no direct fiscal impacts related to the proposed action; however, adoption of the Resolution will facilitate the ability for the City to request resources including financial support and reimbursement from the State Office of Emergency Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency for costs incurred in preparation and/or response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution declaring a continued local emergency related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
BACKGROUND:
As the City Council is aware, in accordance with Section 8.12.060 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code, the former City Manager, in his capacity as the Director of Emergency Services, proclaimed a local emergency on March 16, 2020, regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. The City Council ratified the proclamation at its regular meeting on March 24, 2020, and adopted resolutions declaring a continued local emergency since that time as the pandemic has persisted.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Arroyo Grande Municipal Code Section 8.12.065(C) provides that the City Council is to “Review the need for a continuing emergency declaration at regularly scheduled meetings at least every twenty-one (21) days until the emergency is terminated.” Accordingly, the City Council has adopted the appropriate Resolutions declaring a continued local
Item 8.e.
City Council
Consideration of Adoption of a Resolution Declaring a Continued Local Emergency Related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic September 13, 2022
emergency related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic within the required 21-day time period since the ratification of the proclamation at its March 24, 2020 regular meeting.
This item is being presented to the City Council to satisfy the requirements of Section
8.12.065(C). Given the ongoing state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor, the ongoing public health orders issued by the State, and the ongoing work required of City staff to respond to the pandemic and these proclamations and orders, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the Resolution declaring the need to continue the emergency declaration. The San Luis Obispo County (County) Public Health Officer and the County Emergency Services Director terminated the County’s emergency declarations with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic on February 25, 2022. However, a statewide emergency declaration issued by the Governor remains in place related to the pandemic.
In light of the ongoing statewide emergency, the ongoing impacts associated with the coronavirus within the Arroyo Grande community and the City organization, it is recommended that the City Council continue the declared local emergency.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Adopt the Resolution declaring the need to continue the declared local emergency; or
2. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Adoption of the Resolution will satisfy the requirement of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code regarding the periodic review of the declared local emergency related to the COVID19 pandemic.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages have been identified to adopting the Resolution.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Whitney McDonald, City Manager
BY: Sarah Lansburgh, Deputy City Clerk
SUBJECT: Consideration of Cancellation of November 8, 2022 City Council Meeting
DATE: September 13, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Cancellation of the November 8, 2022 City Council meeting.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There is minimal cost savings due to reduced staff time associated with agenda and meeting preparation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Cancel the regularly scheduled Council meeting of November 8, 2022.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council meets twice a month on the second and fourth Tuesdays. The City Council Handbook states that a regular meeting may be cancelled by a majority vote of the Council. In 2016, the regular meeting date that was set for the same date as the General Municipal Election was cancelled, in part to allow citizens, Council Members, and staff time to complete their voting while polling places remain open into the evening. Other neighboring jurisdictions have similarly cancelled regular meetings scheduled for the same date as a municipal election.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
This year, the November 8, 2022 General Municipal Election falls on a regular City Council meeting date. Therefore, it is recommended the City Council cancel the regularly scheduled meeting of November 8, 2022. It is anticipated that other required actions of the City Council may be accomplished during meetings otherwise held in October and November. However, staff may also recommend that a special meeting be held in November to conduct a study session regarding fire and emergency service response needs in light of the upcoming exit of the Oceano Community Services District from the

ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Cancel the November 8, 2022 City Council Meeting;
2. Do not cancel the November 8, 2022 City Council Meeting; or
3. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Cancelling the November 8, 2022 regular meeting will allow the City Council, staff, and citizens to complete their voting while polling places remain open in the evening.
DISADVANTAGES:
Cancellation of a regular meeting may result in heavier agendas at the prior and following meetings.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Brian Pedrotti, Community Development Director
BY: Andrew Perez, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of Authorizing the City Attorney to Amend the Affordable Housing Agreement for 252 S. Courtland Street DATE: September 13, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Authorize the City Attorney to make amendments to the existing Affordable Housing Agreement for 252 S. Courtland Street (Agreement) to allow the property to be sold to an eligible, moderate income household.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
No financial impact is projected.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Attorney to amend the Agreement allowing the property owner to sell the subject property to an eligible, moderate income household.
BACKGROUND:
The dwelling at 252 S. Courtland St. was built in 2005 as part of the Jasmine Place housing development and subsequently deed-restricted as a moderate rate affordable unit. The Jasmine Place project was conditioned to provide a total of seventeen units within the development as affordable to moderate income households. Each of the seventeen units was subject to a Buyer’s Occupancy and Resale Agreement (Agreement), which establishes regulations for the occupancy, maintenance, and resale of the property.
The subject home at 252 S. Courtland Street was sold to a qualified buyer in 2005. Three years later, the property owner expressed a need to sell the unit to avoid foreclosure. At that time, the maximum allowable sales price, as determined pursuant to the formula established in the Agreement, exceeded the fair market value of the home. Under the Agreement, the owner must try to sell the property to an eligible buyer at the affordable price, as defined in the Agreement. If they cannot sell it within 90 days, the City has the
Item 8.g.
City Council
Consideration of Authorizing the City Attorney to Amend the Affordable Housing Agreement for 252 S. Courtland Street
September 13, 2022
option to purchase the home at the affordable price or allow it to be sold at fair market value. Due to the inequity between the affordable price and fair market value, the home was at high risk of converting to market rate and eliminating the affordable housing covenants recorded against the property. To avoid losing an affordable unit, the City’s Redevelopment Agency made arrangements to purchase the property from the owner and then re-sell the property to the San Luis Obispo Housing Authority (HASLO).
HASLO is an established non-profit organization with expertise in building and maintaining affordable housing, and therefore, qualified to manage the rental of this unit.
However, because the affordable housing agreements for all seventeen affordable units in this development do not permit an owner to lease their unit, HASLO requested amendments to the Agreement that would allow it to lease the property to a qualified tenant. Council adopted Resolution 4131 authorizing the purchase and subsequent reconveyance of the property (Attachment 1).
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The long-term tenant at 252 S. Courtland Street has voluntarily vacated the property and now HASLO expressed the desire to amend the Agreement to allow it to sell the property to a qualified moderate-income household. Selling the property would allow HASLO to reallocate the revenue from the sale to current affordable housing projects. Pursuant to Section 15 of the Agreement, Council must authorize amendments to the Agreement. If Council is supportive amending the Agreement, the City Attorney will execute the amendments that will allow the property to be sold to a qualified moderate-income household. The purchasing household will enter into a new agreement with the City to ensure the affordability restrictions of the unit are maintained for the next 30 years.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Authorize the City Attorney to make amendments to the existing Agreement; or
2. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Approving modifications to the existing Regulatory Agreement will allow HASLO to financially support other affordable housing projects, while ensuring that an existing affordable unit will remain affordable for the next 30 years, at a minimum.
DISADVANTAGES:
None identified.

No environmental review is required for this item.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Martinez, Chief of Police
BY: Jeremy Burns, Police Sergeant
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Grant Agreement from the Office of Traffic Safety for Traffic Records Improvement and Approval of the Purchase of the Crossroads Traffic Collision Reporting and Electronic Citation Systems
DATE: September 13, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Chief of Police to execute an agreement with the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for the receipt of grant funding through the Traffic Records Improvement Project Program (TRIP), which will be used to purchase a new traffic collision reporting system and electronic citation system.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
The grant award is for $109,000 and will cover the costs of a new traffic collision reporting system and electronic citation system. The cost of the software and hardware purchase will be reimbursed by the grant. The cost of staff time to administer the grant will be absorbed into the regular duties of the Police Department Administration and Administrative Services Division of the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Chief of Police to execute a grant agreement with the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to purchase a new traffic collision reporting and electronic citation system, 2) Approve a Budget Amendment Request for FY 2022- 23 in the amount of $109,000 to account for the OTS grant revenue and the expenditures for the new reporting and citation systems, and 3) Approve the sole source purchase of the Crossroads traffic collision reporting and electronic citation software programs.
BACKGROUND:
The Arroyo Grande Police Department has accepted grant funding from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) intermittently in the past. For instance, in Fiscal Year 2022- 23, the City received funding of $58,000 from OTS in the form of a Selective Traffic
Item 8.h.
City Council
Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Grant Agreement from the Office of Traffic Safety for Traffic Records Improvement and Approval of the Purchase of the Crossroads Traffic Collision Reporting and Electronic Citation Systems September 13, 2022
Enforcement Program (STEP) grant. This STEP grant provided funding for enforcement activities including DUI checkpoints, DUI saturation patrols, distracted driving enforcement, and pedestrian safety enforcement. The STEP grant also provided funding for traffic enforcement and training for officers, and funding for the purchase of traffic enforcement equipment, including a new hand-held LIDAR device and radar trailer.
Another STEP grant has been awarded to the Arroyo Grande Police Department for this Fiscal Year 2022-23 and is presented for consideration and approval in a separate agenda item (Item 8.i).
In addition to the STEP grant, OTS also offers a Traffic Records Improvement Project (TRIP) grant. TRIP grants provide law enforcement departments with the ability to plan and initiate traffic records improvement projects, such as the purchase of new traffic crash reporting systems as well as electronic citation equipment and software.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The City of Arroyo Grande currently has a population of approximately 17,924 residents, however, the City experiences an increase in daily population and traffic due to employment, business, and service providers located within the City. Additionally, the City’s service population is also impacted by the cities immediately adjacent, making up the “Five Cities” area. The larger Five Cities area population is approximately 45,000 residents, not including the tourist population, which is estimated at approximately 35,000 a year. Because of the City’s location situated half-way between Los Angeles and San Francisco, directly west of Bakersfield, near the beach and the Oceano Dunes Vehicular Recreation Area, significant increases in traffic, pedestrian and alcohol related incidents occur within the City’s service area. In addition, the City of Arroyo Grande hosts the only public high school in the Five Cities area, servicing over 2000 high school students daily.
This causes an increase in the number of inexperienced drivers on the road as well as bicyclists and pedestrians. With the resident, student, and transient tourist populations impacting the City’s total service population, the City has seen an increase in traffic collisions and traffic incidents over the past several years. The Police Department, on average, investigates and takes reports on over 300 traffic collisions per year.
The Police Department currently uses the Executive Information Services (EIS) Records Management System (RMS) for all criminal, incident, and traffic collision reports. The EIS traffic collision reporting program has not been updated in several years, and lacks the capabilities of more modern systems. The EIS traffic collision system does not allow for adequate data analysis, and requires manually looking through individual reports to perform any analysis. A requirement of the OTS STEP grant is the reporting of certain statistics on a quarterly basis. With the EIS collision reporting system, this requires extensive staff time to manually review individual reports to count the statistics. Data analysis is a critical element to a traffic collision reporting system, as it allows the Traffic Unit to better identify areas within the City that are more prone to traffic incidents, and
Item 8.h.
City Council
Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Grant Agreement from the Office of Traffic Safety for Traffic Records Improvement and Approval of the Purchase of the Crossroads Traffic Collision Reporting and Electronic Citation Systems September 13, 2022
allows for better targeted enforcement of traffic and safety violations. Additionally, the EIS system does not allow for the electronic submission of required reports to the California Highway Patrol’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) and requires Department staff to print and send physical copies of required reports.
The Police Department currently utilizes traditional paper citations for traffic violations and criminal arrests. The paper citation system requires staff to manually enter the citations into the EIS RMS, which requires significant staff time. Many police departments have moved to electronic citation systems, which greatly reduces staff time in the field, as well as the later entry into the EIS RMS. With electronic citation systems, the citation is automatically entered into the EIS RMS, eliminating the need for manual entry.
The Police Department has identified the need to upgrade and replace the current EIS RMS traffic collision reporting system, with a system that will allow for more streamlined reporting and perform adequate data analysis of traffic collisions within the City. The City has been tentatively approved for an OTS TRIP Grant in the amount of $109,000 to facilitate the purchase of a new traffic collision reporting system and electronic citation system.
OTS has specific requirements for capabilities for traffic collision reporting systems purchased with grant funds. The requirements include the following:
System licensing with installation and training
GIS based mapping
Segment crash diagraming tool
Ability to create or import crash reports
Ability to import and export agency RMS files
Ability to perform complete analysis of crash reports Secure database accessible by appropriate agency personnel Ability to export complete crash report to California Highway Patrol’s SWITRS OTS also has specific requirements for the electronic citation system, which include:
System licensing with installation and training
Ability to import and export to agency RMS files
Ability to perform complete analysis of citation reports Secure database accessible by appropriate agency personnel Ability to export complete citation reports to the local county court With these requirements in mind, Police Department staff researched appropriate traffic collision reporting systems and electronic citation systems. Through the research, staff was able to identify one company that produces a traffic collision reporting system and electronic citation system that meet all of the requirements. Crossroads Software, Inc.
Item 8.h.
City Council
Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Grant Agreement from the Office of Traffic Safety for Traffic Records Improvement and Approval of the Purchase of the Crossroads Traffic Collision Reporting and Electronic Citation Systems September 13, 2022
produces a traffic collision reporting system and electronic citation system that meet the above requirements and has additional capabilities that would provide a benefit to the Police Department in reporting collisions and writing citations. The Crossroads collision reporting system provides thorough data analysis tools that would allow for the easy reporting of statistics to OTS, as well as identifying areas in the City with the greatest traffic concerns. Additionally, the system allows for the electronic submission of reports to SWITRS, which would also reduce staff time spent on these tasks. The electronic citation system would greatly reduce the time officers spend writing each citation in the field, as well as eliminate the manual entry of the citation information into the RMS system.
Many agencies throughout the State and locally use the Crossroads collision reporting and electronic citation software, including the San Luis Obispo Police Department and the Paso Robles Police Department. Both San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles have had success in implementing the Crossroads system. The Arroyo Grande Police Department currently uses a different Crossroads software application for the reporting of stop data to the Department of Justice (DOJ). It is, therefore, recommended that the City Council approve the sole source purchase of the EIS RMS and electronic citation system from Crossroads.
The cost of the Crossroads system is broken down as follows:
$30,200 for the Report Writer for Collision Reporting $24,800 for the Interface to Upload Collision Report Data and Documents to the California Highway Patrol SWITRS System
$39,400 for the Electronic Citation System
The remaining $14,600 will be used to purchase hardware for the electronic citation system (tablets/phones and mobile printers). Staff is working to identify exactly what hardware will be the best options to work with the Crossroads system.
The Police Department currently has a EIS RMS that is used for criminal and incident reports, separate from the traffic collision portion of EIS RMS. The CIP Budget has $150,000 of COPS Grant funds earmarked for upgrade of the current criminal and incident portion of EIS RMS, which is going to coincide with the San Luis Obispo Sheriff’s Department’s anticipated upgrade to their RMS system. The proposed Crossroads RMS system will integrate with this EIS RMS system.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. 1) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Chief of Police to execute a grant agreement with the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to purchase a new traffic collision reporting and electronic citation system, 2) Approve a Budget Amendment Request for FY 2022-23 in the amount of $109,000 to account for the OTS grant revenue and the expenditures for the new reporting and citation systems, and 3)
Item 8.h.
City Council
Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Grant Agreement from the Office of Traffic Safety for Traffic Records Improvement and Approval of the Purchase of the Crossroads Traffic Collision Reporting and Electronic Citation Systems September 13, 2022
Approve the sole source purchase of the Crossroads traffic collision reporting and electronic citation software programs.
2. Do not adopt the Resolution or approve the purchase;
3. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Accepting the OTS grant and purchasing the Crossroads collision reporting and electronic citation systems will have several advantages. It will fund the purchase of a new traffic collision reporting system and an electronic citation system that are not otherwise funded in the City’s budget. The Crossroads report writing system allows for more expeditious reporting of collisions and allows for thorough analysis of collision data. This will greatly reduce staff time spent on analyzing collision data and reporting statistics. The electronic citation system will also reduce staff time, both in the field, and later in data entry into the EIS RMS.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages are identified if the recommended action is approved. By not accepting the grant, the Police Department will not receive additional funding to purchase a traffic collision report writing and electronic citation system.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The Arroyo Grande Police Department has a Traffic Safety Unit responsible for the enforcement of traffic laws, including DUI investigation, and the investigation of traffic crashes in our city. This Traffic Records Improvement Project (TRIP) grant will significantly help our Traffic Safety program with more efficient reporting, and better data analysis of crashes and causes of crashes within the city, to better target enforcement and prevention efforts.
The city of Arroyo Grande has a population of approximately 18,000 residents and consists of nearly 6 square miles. However, the city experiences a significant increase in daily population and traffic due to employment, business and service providers located within Arroyo Grande. Additionally, our service population is also impacted but the cities immediately adjacent to ours, making up the “Five Cities” area. The larger Five Cities area population is approximately 45,000 residents, not including the tourist population, which is estimated at approximately 35,000 per year. Because of our location, situated half-way between Los Angeles and San Francisco, directly west of Bakersfield, we experience significant increases in traffic, pedestrian and alcohol related incidents due to our proximity to the beach and the Oceano Dunes Vehicular recreation area. In addition, the City of Arroyo Grande hosts the only public high school in the Five Cities area, servicing over 2000 high school students daily. This causes an increase in the number of inexperienced drivers on the road as well as bicyclists and pedestrians. With the resident, student and transient tourist populations impacting our total service population, we have seen increases in traffic collisions and traffic incidents over the last several years.
The City of Arroyo Grande business community provides full services including gasoline sales, hotels and restaurants. The Highway 101 is a main artery which is routed through the center of the City used for access by those utilizing the City’s services.
The Arroyo Grande Police Department currently uses an outdated records management system for traffic crash reporting. Under the current system, no traffic crash data analysis can be performed, requiring the manual counting of injury/fatal collisions, as well as other required reportable crashes.
The TRIP grant affords our Department the opportunity to purchase a complete electronic citation system and provide a much needed update to our electronic crash database in order to submit electronic data to the CHP SWITRS program.
2. PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is responsible for providing leadership and guidance in support of this Presidential initiative. For information and resources on traffic safety programs and policies for employers, please contact the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS), a public-private partnership dedicated to improving the traffic safety practices of employers and employees. You can download information on seat belt programs, costs of motor vehicle crashes to employers, and other traffic safety initiatives at www.trafficsafety.org. The NHTSA website (www.nhtsa.gov) also provides information on statistics, campaigns, and program evaluations and references.
POLICY ON BANNING TEXT MESSAGING WHILE DRIVING
In accordance with Executive Order 13513, Federal Leadership On Reducing Text Messaging While Driving, and DOT Order 3902.10, Text Messaging While Driving, States are encouraged to adopt and enforce workplace safety policies to decrease crashes caused by distracted driving, including policies to ban text messaging while driving company-owned or rented vehicles, Government-owned, leased or rented vehicles, or privately-owned vehicles when on official Government business or when performing any work on or behalf of the Government. States are also encouraged to conduct workplace safety initiatives in a manner commensurate with the size of the business, such as establishment of new rules and programs or reevaluation of existing programs to prohibit text messaging while driving, and education, awareness, and other outreach to employees about the safety risks associated with texting while driving.

Item 8.i.
MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Martinez, Chief of Police
BY: Zak Ayala, Police Commander
Jeremy Burns, Police Sergeant
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Grant Agreement with the Office of Traffic Safety for Traffic/DUI Enforcement
DATE: September 13, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Chief of Police to execute an agreement with the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for the receipt of grant funding through the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP), which will be used for traffic and DUI enforcement.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There is no adverse financial impact to the City of Arroyo Grande to accept the OTS grant.
The annual grant award is for $58,000. The cost of this program will fall into the following categories: equipment and educational materials ($8,750); training/travel costs ($3,450); and overtime staffing for operations ($45,800). The cost of equipment purchases, training, and overtime staffing for operations will be directly reimbursed through the grant. The cost of time for grant management will be absorbed into the regular duties of the Police Department Administration and Administrative Services Division of the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Chief of Police to execute a grant agreement with the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to help address ongoing traffic safety concerns and appropriate the funding for the activities; and 2) Approve a Budget Amendment Request for FY 2022-23 in the amount of $58,000 to account for the additional revenue and expenditures related to the grant.
BACKGROUND:
The Arroyo Grande Police Department has accepted grant funding from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) intermittently in the past. For instance, the Police Department has hosted the county-wide AVOID the 14 Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
Item 8.i.
City Council

September 13, 2022
grant program funded through OTS and participated as a member of that program every year it was available. In 2014, OTS restructured its grant programs and eliminated the large, county-wide grant programs due to the significant costs involved. OTS now offers smaller grants to the individual agencies with the goal of a more focused program with easier program management and greater financial accountability. In Fiscal Years 2015- 16, 2020-21 and 2021-22, the Arroyo Grande Police Department received OTS funding and managed one of these grants, the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP).
In Fiscal Year 2021-2022, the City received funding of $50,000 in the form of a STEP grant. This STEP grant provided funding for enforcement activities including DUI checkpoints, DUI saturation patrols, distracted driving enforcement, and pedestrian safety enforcement. The STEP grant also provided funding for traffic enforcement and training for officers, and funding for the purchase of traffic enforcement equipment, including a new hand-held LIDAR device and radar trailer.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The City of Arroyo Grande currently hosts a resident population of approximately 17,924.
However, the City experiences a significant increase in daily population and traffic due to employment, business and service providers located within Arroyo Grande. Additionally, the City’s service population is also impacted by the cities immediately adjacent, making up the “Five Cities” area. The larger Five Cities area population is approximately 45,000 residents, not including the tourist population, which is estimated at approximately 35,000 a year. Because of the City’s location situated half-way between Los Angeles and San Francisco, directly west of Bakersfield, near the beach and the Oceano Dunes Vehicular Recreation Area, significant increases in traffic, pedestrian and alcohol related incidents occur within the City’s service area. In addition, the City of Arroyo Grande hosts the only public high school in the Five Cities area, servicing over 2000 high school students daily.
This causes an increase in the number of inexperienced drivers on the road as well as bicyclists and pedestrians. Finally, the City has traditionally hosted several special events throughout the year, such as the Harvest Festival, Halloween, and Christmas in the Village, which also increase the number of driver’s bicyclists and pedestrians on City roadways. With the resident, student, and transient tourist populations impacting the City’s total service population, traffic collisions and traffic incidents have also increased over the last several years.
An annual review of DUI collisions reveals that DUI incidents usually increase during the end of summer vacation/Labor Day period, Memorial Day, Independence Day weekends and the holiday period, Thanksgiving through New Year’s. Other times with identified increased DUI crimes and collisions include Halloween, Super Bowl Sunday, and local festivals/events.
Specific to the City of Arroyo Grande, alcohol involved traffic incidents represent a significant threat to the community. These incidents do not consider factors such as age

City Council

or economic status and affect the community as a whole; thus law enforcement efforts need to target the safety of all drivers. The City of Arroyo Grande and the surrounding beach communities are a desirable destination for tourists and residents. In particular, the historic Village area consists of numerous restaurants, shops and bars. These qualities draw large crowds, both vehicular and pedestrian. The community is safer by reducing the number of DUI drivers on City streets.
Significant progress is made in reducing the frequency of DUI crimes and collisions when law enforcement agencies conduct awareness campaigns and enforcement efforts. At a nationwide level, there has been a significant downward trend in traffic deaths over the last 20 years. However, DUI deaths have not dropped as dramatically. With continued efforts between law enforcement, community–based organizations, and the media, the number of DUI fatalities could be decreased.
Through grant funding from OTS, the Arroyo Grande Police Department will be more successful in educating the public and curbing the problems associated with drunk driving, traffic violations, and distracted driving. This will increase the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists within the City. Accepting the OTS grant will allow for the purchase of equipment and reimburse overtime staffing directly relating to training, traffic safety, enforcement of DUI laws, and public education. This will be accomplished through a variety of means including but not limited to: speed and distracted driving enforcement operations, advanced training in DUI detection for officers, DUI checkpoints and public awareness campaigns through educational presentations, and participation in OTS programs such as the AVOID Campaign (DUI), Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Awareness Months, Click-it-or-Ticket, and Distracted Driving Awareness Month.
In the past, grant funding has allowed for the purchase of specialized equipment such as a DUI Command Trailer, lighting, and safety equipment, and funded overtime positions for enforcement programs and public education. The goal of the OTS-funded program is to decrease traffic collisions and incidents of driving under the influence by increasing public awareness of traffic related incidents including driving under the influence and increased enforcement of traffic and DUI laws.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Adopt the Resolution authorizing the Chief of Police to execute the grant document and appropriate the funding for the activities;
2. Do not adopt the Resolution;
3. Provide other direction to staff.
Item 8.i.
City Council

September 13, 2022
ADVANTAGES:
Accepting the OTS grant will have several advantages. It will fund additional training in the area of traffic enforcement, DUI detection, and drug impaired driving detection. This will enhance the knowledge, skills, and abilities and, as a result, the overall effectiveness of officers in these areas. More importantly, it will reduce City liability by having more competent officers on daily patrol and participating in enforcement programs.
It will fund equipment not currently in the budget. With the grant funds, additional equipment can be purchased such as flashlights and lighting equipment, speed determination devices, and safety equipment such as OSHA approved traffic safety vests.
It will fund overtime for officers to conduct specialized enforcement operations in the identified areas of concern, such as speed and distracted driving enforcement, DUI saturation patrols, and DUI checkpoints.
Most importantly, the grant will help fund a continuous public awareness campaign for the year to educate the public on traffic safety issues and driving under the influence.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages are identified if the recommended action is approved. By not accepting the grant, the Police Department will not receive additional funding to enhance its current training programs in the identified areas. This will limit the Police Department’s additional enforcement programs, training, and equipment and enhanced public education that can be accomplished with grant funding.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
An annual review of driving under the influence (DUI) crashes reveals that DUI incidents are usually increased during the end of summer vacation/Labor Day period, Memorial Day, Independence Day weekends and the holiday period (Thanksgiving through New Years). Other times with identified DUI crimes and crashes include Halloween, Super Bowl Sunday, Cinco de Mayo, and local festivals/events (Harvest Festival and Parade, Car Show, Christmas Parade). The Arroyo Grande Village (downtown area) has several new bars and restaurants which draw large numbers of people on weekend and holiday nights.
The city of Arroyo Grande has a population of approximately 18,000 residents and consists of nearly 6 square miles. However, the city experiences a significant increase in daily population and traffic due to employment, business and service providers located within Arroyo Grande. Additionally, our service population is also impacted but the cities immediately adjacent to ours, making up the “Five Cities” area. The larger Five Cities area population is approximately 45,000 residents, not including the tourist population, which is estimated at approximately 35,000 per year. Because of our location, situated half-way between Los Angeles and San Francisco, directly west of Bakersfield, we experience significant increases in traffic, pedestrian and alcohol related incidents due to our proximity to the beach and the Oceano Dunes Vehicular recreation area. In addition, the City of Arroyo Grande hosts the only public high school in the Five Cities area, servicing over 2000 high school students daily. This causes an increase in the number of inexperienced drivers on the road as well as bicyclists and pedestrians. With the resident, student and transient tourist populations impacting our total service population, we have seen increases in traffic crashes and traffic incidents over the last several years.
The City of Arroyo Grande business community provides full services including gasoline sales, hotels and restaurants. The Highway 101 is a main artery which is routed through the center of the City used for access by those utilizing the City’s services.
Significant progress is made in reducing the frequency of DUI crimes and crashes when law enforcement agencies conduct awareness campaigns and enforcement efforts. At a Nationwide level, traffic deaths have declined. With a best practice and focused enforcement plan through the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program, the Arroyo Grande Police Department will be more successful in curbing the problems associated with intoxicated drivers, speeding vehicles, right of way violators, other aggressive driving, distracted driving, auto theft, and an increased pedestrian and bicyclist safety program. The Department has encouraged patrol officers and traffic officers to focus enforcement on reducing the alcohol and speed related crashes, along with increased pedestrian and bicyclist safety.

8. Conduct DUI/DL Checkpoints. A minimum of 1 checkpoint should be conducted during the NHTSA Winter Mobilization and 1 during the Summer Mobilization. To enhance the overall deterrent effect and promote high visibility, it is recommended the grantee issue an advance press release and conduct social media activity for each checkpoint. For combination DUI/DL checkpoints, departments should issue press releases that mention DL's will be checked at the DUI/DL checkpoint. Signs for DUI/DL checkpoints should read "DUI/Driver's License Checkpoint Ahead." OTS does not fund or support independent DL checkpoints. Only on an exception basis and with OTS pre-approval will OTS fund checkpoints that begin prior to 1800 hours. When possible, DUI/DL Checkpoint screeners should be DRE- or ARIDE-trained.
2 9. Conduct DUI Saturation Patrol operation(s). 10
10. Conduct Traffic Enforcement operation(s), including but not limited to, primary crash factor violations.
6 11. Conduct highly publicized Distracted Driving enforcement operation(s) targeting drivers using hand held cell phones and texting.

Note: Presentation(s) may include topics such as distracted driving, DUI, speed, bicycle and pedestrian safety, seat belts and child passenger safety.
2 3. METHOD OF PROCEDURE
A. Phase 1 – Program Preparation (1st Quarter of Grant Year) The department will develop operational plans to implement the “best practice” strategies outlined in the objectives section.
All training needed to implement the program should be conducted this quarter. All grant related purchases needed to implement the program should be made this quarter. In order to develop/maintain the “DUI BOLOs,” research will be conducted to identify the “worst of the worst” repeat DUI offenders with a suspended or revoked license as a result of DUI convictions. The Hot Sheets may include the driver’s name, last known address, DOB,
8/17/2022 3:25:29 PM Page 5 of 14
description, current license status, and the number of times suspended or revoked for DUI. DUI BOLOs should be updated and distributed to traffic and patrol officers at least monthly. Implementation of the STEP grant activities will be accomplished by deploying personnel at high crash locations.
Media RequirementsIssue a press release approved by the OTS PIO announcing the kick-off of the grant by November 15, but no sooner than October 1. The kick-off release must be approved by the OTS PIO and only distributed after the grant is fully signed and executed. If you are unable to meet the November 15 deadline to issue a kick-off press release, communicate reasons to your OTS coordinator and OTS PIO.
B. Phase 2 – Program Operations (Throughout Grant Year) The department will work to create media opportunities throughout the grant period to call attention to the innovative program strategies and outcomes.
Media Requirements
The following requirements are for all grant-related activities:
Send all media advisories, alerts, videos, graphics, artwork, posters, radio/PSA/video scripts, storyboards, digital and/or print educational materials for grant-related activities to the OTS PIO at [email protected] for approval and copy your OTS coordinator. Optimum lead time would be 7 days before the scheduled release but at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date for review and approval is appreciated.
The OTS PIO is responsible for the approval of the design and content of materials. The agency understands OTS PIO approval is not authorizing approval of budget expenditure or cost. Any cost approvals must come from the Coordinator.
Pre-approval is not required when using any OTS-supplied template for media advisories, press releases, social media graphics, videos or posts, or any other OTS-supplied educational material.
However, copy the OTS PIO at [email protected] and your OTS coordinator when any material is distributed to the media and public, such as a press release, educational material, or link to social media post. The OTS-supplied kick-off press release templates and any kickoff press releases are an exception to this policy and require prior approval before distribution to the media and public.
If an OTS-supplied template, educational material, social media graphic, post or video is substantially changed, the changes shall be sent to the OTS PIO at [email protected] for approval and copy to your OTS Coordinator. Optimum lead time would be 7 days prior to the scheduled release date, but at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date for review and approval is appreciated.
Press releases, social media posts and alerts on platforms such as NextDoor and Nixle reporting immediate and time-sensitive grant activities (e.g. enforcement operations, day of event highlights or announcements, event invites) are exempt from the OTS PIO approval process. The OTS PIO and your Coordinator should still be notified when the grant-related activity is happening (e.g. car seat checks, bicycle rodeos, community presentations, DUI checkpoints, etc.).
Enforcement activities such as warrant and probation sweeps, court stings, etc. that are embargoed or could impact operations by publicizing in advance are exempt from the PIO approval process. However, announcements and results of activities should still be copied to the OTS PIO at [email protected] and your Coordinator with embargoed date and time or with “INTERNAL ONLY: DO NOT RELEASE” message in subject line of email. Any earned or paid media campaigns for TV, radio, digital or social media that are part of a specific grant objective, using OTS grant funds, or designed and developed using contractual services by a subgrantee, requires prior approval. Please send to the OTS PIO at [email protected] for approval and copy your grant coordinator at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date.
Social media posts highlighting state or national traffic safety campaigns (Distracted Driving Month, Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, etc.), enforcement operations (DUI checkpoints, etc.), or any other grant-related activity such as Bicycle rodeos, presentations, or events, are highly encouraged but do not require prior approval.
8/17/2022 3:25:29 PM Page 6 of 14
Submit a draft or rough-cut of all digital, printed, recorded or video material (brochures, posters, scripts, artwork, trailer graphics, digital graphics, social posts connected to an earned or paid media campaign grant objective) to the OTS PIO at [email protected] and copy your OTS Coordinator for approval prior to the production or duplication. Use the following standard language in all press, media, and printed materials, space permitting:
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Space permitting, include the OTS logo on all grant-funded print materials, graphics and paid or earned social media campaign grant objective; consult your OTS Coordinator for specifics, format-appropriate logos, or if space does not permit the use of the OTS logo. Email the OTS PIO at [email protected] and copy your OTS Coordinator at least 21 days in advance, or when first confirmed, a short description of any significant grant-related traffic safety event or program, particularly events that are highly publicized beforehand with anticipated media coverage so OTS has sufficient notice to arrange for attendance and/or participation in the event.
If unable to attend, email the OTS PIO and coordinator brief highlights and/or results, including any media coverage (broadcast, digital, print) of event within 7 days following significant grantrelated event or program. Media and program highlights are to be reflected in QPRs. Any press releases, work plans, scripts, storyboards, artwork, graphics, videos or any educational or informational materials that received PIO approval in a prior grant year needs to be resubmitted for approval in the current grant year.
Contact the OTS PIO or your OTS Coordinator for consultation when changes from any of the above requirements might be warranted.
C. Phase 3 – Data Collection & Reporting (Throughout Grant Year)
1. Prepare and submit invoice claims (due January 30, April 30, July 30, and October 30)
2. Prepare and submit Quarterly Performance Reports (QPR) (due January 30, April 30, July 30, and October 30)

In accordance with Executive Order 13513, Federal Leadership On Reducing Text Messaging While Driving, and DOT Order 3902.10, Text Messaging While Driving, States are encouraged to adopt and enforce workplace safety policies to decrease crashes caused by distracted driving, including policies to ban text messaging while driving company-owned or rented vehicles, Government-owned, leased or rented vehicles, or privately-owned vehicles when on official Government business or when performing any work on or behalf of the Government. States are also encouraged to conduct workplace safety initiatives in a manner commensurate with the size of the business, such as establishment of new rules and programs or reevaluation of existing programs to prohibit text messaging while driving, and education, awareness, and other outreach to employees about the safety risks associated with texting while driving.
Item 8.j.
MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Bill Robeson, Assistant City Manager/Public Works Director BY: Jill McPeek, Capital Improvement Project Manager
SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Resolution Pursuant to Public Contract Code (PCC) Section 20168 and Authorizing Contracting Without a Competitive Solicitation for Bids Pursuant to PCC Section 22050 for FCFA Station 1 Emergency Generator Replacement Project
DATE: September 13, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Adoption of the Resolution will allow for accelerated replacement of the emergency generator at the Five Cities Fire Authority (FCFA) Station 1 by eliminating the formal bid process.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
The FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budgets included $680,018 ($46,780 General Fund, $318,738 Sales Tax Funds, and $314,500 of California Nuclear Power Preparedness (NPP) Program funding) for the subject project. The engineer’s construction cost estimate for the project is currently $646,453. FCFA staff will seek to secure the NPP funding upon completion of the construction documents and associated engineer’s construction cost estimate. It is now anticipated that NPP funding will cover approximately 50% or $323,277. Staff time will be necessary to coordinate construction activities with the contractor and special inspectors.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt a Resolution finding that an emergency exists within the City related to the replacement of the emergency generator at the Five Cities Fire Authority Fire Station 1 and authorizing contracting without a competitive solicitation for bids; and 2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute a contract with a qualified contractor for construction of the project.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Arroyo Grande owns the FCFA Station 1 building at 140 Traffic Way, and in accordance with the FCFA Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement between the Cities of

City Council
Consider Adoption of a Resolution Pursuant to Public Contract Code (PCC) Section 20168 and Authorizing Contracting Without a Competitive Solicitation for Bids Pursuant to PCC Section 22050 for FCFA Station 1 Emergency Generator Replacement Project
September 13, 2022

Arroyo Grande and Grover Beach and the Oceano Community Services District, the City remains responsible for insurance and maintenance of the fire station (Section 8 A). FCFA Station 1 is considered an essential services building in accordance with Section 16007 of the California Health and Safety Code. The California Legislature has determined that buildings providing essential services should be capable of providing those services to the public after a disaster. In order to do so, power from an emergency generator is needed in the event of power loss due to a power outage.
On October 12, 2021, the City Council approved an Agreement for Consultant Services with Salas O’Brien for design and construction phase services, including continuous construction inspection, for the replacement of the permanent emergency generator and associated transfer switches, and installation of a properly sized connector for a portable generator as a backup to the emergency generator at Fire Station 1. Since this time, staff has been working with Salas O’Brien to determine generator sizing to power the entire building and to complete the construction documents. The construction documents are currently at 95% completion.
At the time of Council’s approval of the design and construction phase services, it was assumed that upon completion of the construction documents, staff would present the item to Council to evaluate overall probable costs and to consider approving the design and authorizing the solicitation of construction bids.
However, since that time, the current emergency generator has become completely nonfunctional, rendering the FCFA Station 1 building with no back-up power. On the evening of July 8, 2022, there was a power outage that included the FCFA Station 1 building. The entire building was without power, impacting the ability to provide emergency 9-1-1 services to the community. The power outage affected:
Apparatus Bay Doors – Unlike residential garage door openers, crews had to climb ladders in the dark to manually disable the bay door openers in order to gain access to emergency response vehicles.
Station Alerting – All communications were shut down, impacting the crew’s ability to receive emergency calls for service.
Lighting – There was no lighting throughout the entire facility. Communications/IT Server room – Without power, there was an inability to charge battery powered equipment (portable radios, thermal imaging cameras, etc.).
While power was restored to the station within minutes and no negative results occurred because of this specific incident, the lack of a working generator created a serious risk to the community. This prompted an immediate interim course of action where the nonfunctioning emergency generator was removed and a portable generator was put in its place and connected directly to an existing electrical panel that provides minimum power needs. This immediate action provided two things: 1) it did not require additional wiring

from the building’s electrical panel that would be essentially be throw away work, and 2) allows for the opening of the vehicle bay doors and some lighting but does not provide power to the server room or the station alerting system, which are critical needs.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Normally, the Public Contract Code (PCC) requires a competitive solicitation for bids on all public works projects. However, PCC Section 20168 allows the Council to adopt a Resolution by four-fifths vote declaring that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health or property. In addition, pursuant to this section and PCC Section 22050, in the case of an emergency, the Council by a four-fifths vote may procure the necessary services to repair a public facility without giving notice for bids. PCC Section 1102 defines an emergency as a sudden, unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger, requiring immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss or impairment of life, health, property, or essential public services.
In this case, there is an imminent danger to public health and safety for various reasons including, without limitation, the delay of public safety services during the event of a power outage as the emergency generator is no longer functional. Without an emergency generator, emergency 9-1-1 services provided FCFA Station 1 become impaired and/or delayed which poses a serious risk to the community as response time is critical in the event of an emergency situation
. If the project were to go through the formal bid process, it is estimated that the project would be advertised in October 2022, a construction contract awarded in November 2022, and start of construction in January 2023. This would result in approximately four months before the start of construction while the station remains without the critical power needed for an essential service building.
Should the Council adopt a Resolution finding that an emergency exists within the City and authorizing contracting without a competitive solicitation for bids, upon completion of the plans, staff can immediately contract with a qualified contractor and the start of construction could begin as early as October 2022, a time savings of about three months.
While not necessary under an emergency finding, it is staff’s intention to contact three qualified contractors to obtain quotes to ensure the best pricing possible before entering into a contract. It is further intended that the selected contractor begin work immediately on the installation of a portable generator docking station that powers the entire station.
This will allow for the portable generator to be moved over to and plugged into the new docking station thereby fully powering FCFA Station 1 while site preparations are made along with the ordering, delivery, and installation of a permanent emergency generator.
Adopting the proposed Resolution will ratify the emergency, authorize staff to execute the appropriate contract with a qualified contractor, and ensure that the contractor will be properly compensated for its emergency response and repair.
Item 8.j.
City Council
Consider Adoption of a Resolution Pursuant to Public Contract Code (PCC) Section 20168 and Authorizing Contracting Without a Competitive Solicitation for Bids Pursuant to PCC Section 22050 for FCFA Station 1 Emergency Generator Replacement Project
September 13, 2022
It should be noted that Public Contract Code Section 22050 requires that after proceeding with an emergency project, the City Council will also need to review the emergency action at its next regularly scheduled meeting and at every regularly scheduled meeting thereafter until the action is terminated, to determine, by a four-fifths vote, that there is a need to continue the action. Therefore, staff will be returning to the City Council with updates as required by the statute.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Approve staff’s recommendations;
2. Modify and approve staff’s recommendation;
3. Do not approve staff’s recommendations and direct staff to proceed through the formal bid process; or
4. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Adoption of the Resolution will allow the City to immediately enter into a contract with a qualified contractor to install a replacement emergency generator at the FCFA Station 1, an essential services building, without the delays that would occur if the project were to be formally bid, including the completion of work necessary to enable a temporary generator to power immediate needs at the station during a power outage.
DISADVANTAGES:
None identified at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15302(c) covering the replacement of existing utility systems involving negligible or no expansion of capacity.

WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 20168, the immediate replacement of the emergency generator is necessary in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare and will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids and that prompt action, including authorization to expend all funds required for such replacement without competitive bidding, is necessary to respond to the emergency described herein; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22050, the City Council deems it is in the public interest to immediately authorize the expenditure of City funds needed to safeguard the health, safety and welfare in order to proceed immediately with the replacement of the emergency generator.

DATE: September 13, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Accept the 2021 Street Repairs Project and begin the one-year warranty period for defects that may arise.

The final contract and change orders resulted in a total construction cost of $2,255,375.22 to the City, $2,120,926.49 for the direct contract amount and $134,448.73 for additional material quantities placed and field change orders. The contract was included as part of the FY 2021-22 Capital Improvement Program budget and was funded by Urban State Highway Account (USHA), Senate Bill 1 (SB1) and Local Sales Tax funds, and General Fund Reserves. The recommended action will not impact staff resources.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Accept the project improvements as constructed by Ferravanti Grading & Paving in accordance with the plans and specifications for the 2021 Street Repairs Project, PW 2021-01; 2) Direct staff to file a Notice of Completion; and 3) Authorize release of retention, thirty-five (35) days after the Notice of Completion has been recorded, if no liens have been filed.
BACKGROUND:
On December 14, 2021, the City Council awarded a construction contract to perform the 2021 Street Repairs Project to Ferravanti Grading & Paving in the amount of $2,120,926.49 and authorized the City Manager to approve change orders in the amount of $ 212,092.65.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Brian Pedrotti, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution Authorizing Refund of Planning Commission Appeal Fees to the Appellants of Vacation Rental Permits Approved for 263-D Spruce Street and 1170 Linda Drive
DATE: September 13, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Adoption of the proposed Resolution would allow the City to refund Planning Commission appeal fees to the appellants for vacation rental permits approved for 263-D Spruce Street and 1170 Linda Drive.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
Refunding Planning Commission appeal fees for the two subject appeals will result in a reduction in revenues of $982.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution approving a refund of the Planning Commission appeal fees to the appellants of the vacation rental permits approved for 263-D Spruce Street and 1170 Linda Drive.
BACKGROUND:
On June 10, 2014, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 663, establishing vacation rentals and homestays (collectively known as short-term rentals, or “STR”s) as permitted land uses in the City’s residential zoning districts, subject to the approval of a Minor Use Permit-Plot Plan Review. Under this review process, an STR is submitted as a Minor Use Permit – Plot Plan Review and is reviewed by staff, with approval by the Community Development Director. Notification of the Director’s approval is mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of the STR, is posted on the Planning Commission’s agenda, and is appealable to the Planning Commission with an appeal fee. Per Arroyo Grande Municipal Code Section 16.12.155, a notice of administrative decision for Minor Use Permits, including any approvals, denials or referrals by the Community Development Director, shall be reported on the Planning Commission agenda. This same section also states that a public hearing can be required if an administrative decision is appealed or called up for review by the Planning Commission through a majority vote. The Planning
Item 8.l.
City Council

September 13, 2022
Commission must specify the issues to be reviewed at the meeting at which the notice of administrative decision is presented to it, and then hear and determine a decision on the item in the same manner as any other appeal.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Due to the infrequency of Planning Commission meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic, approvals began to be reported along with the cancellation notice for the cancelled Planning Commission meeting, rather than strictly on scheduled meeting agendas. Concerns were later raised regarding this practice during appeal hearings for STRs. Staff has since made a procedural change in response to this concern to require all notices of administrative approval to be placed on Planning Commission agendas for meetings that are held. Prior to this change, however, the appeals for 263-Spruce Street and 1170 Linda Drive were originally reported on cancelled Planning Commission meetings of November 2, 2021 and July 20, 2021, respectively. A third vacation rental at 1562 Strawberry Avenue was also reported on a cancelled Planning Commission meeting and appealed to the Planning Commission on December 7, 2021, where the appeal was denied. The appellant then appealed the Planning Commission’s decision to the City Council on February 8, 2022, where it was subsequently denied. At the February 8, 2022 hearing, the City Council directed staff to refund the appellant’s Planning Commission appeal fee of $491 due to errors in the notification of surrounding property owners from the original approval. A refund was issued to the appellant in February 2022.
At the August 23, 2022 City Council meeting during the Council Communications portion of the agenda, Mayor Ray Russom noted staff’s change in policy to not post STR approvals on cancelled Planning Commission agendas, and that some appellants paid an appeal fee of $491 each prior to this time, without the ability to make public comment to the Planning Commission and request that it consider appealing the STR approval, and allow potential appellants the ability to avoid paying the appeal fee. A request was made to place an item on a future agenda to consider refunding appeal fees for those who had appealed STR approvals that were placed on cancelled Planning Commission agendas. Mayor Pro Tem George seconded the request. Staff has reviewed its records and confirmed that a total of three appeals were filed regarding STRs approved on cancelled Planning Commission agendas – (1) 263-D Spruce Street, (2) 1170 Linda Drive, and (3) 1562 Strawberry Avenue. The $491 appeal fee associated with the approval of the STR permit at 1562 Strawberry Avenue was refunded to the appellants by direction of the City Council. The two remaining appeal fees are proposed to be refunded by action of the attached Resolution (Attachment 1).

ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are presented for City Council consideration:
1. Adopt the Resolution, granting a refund of Planning Commission appeal fees to the appellants of two vacation rental permits for 263-D Spruce Street and 1170 Linda Drive;
2. Do not adopt the Resolution; or
3. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Approving the requested fee refund will return funds to the appellants in the amount of $491 each, or a total of $982.
DISADVANTAGES:
Approving the requested fee refund will result in a loss of revenue to the City in the amount of $982.

None required for refund of fees.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ARROYO GRANDE PROVIDING FOR AN ACCESSORY
DWELLING UNIT FEE WAIVER PROGRAM
WHEREAS, Section 16.52.150 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code (AGMC) contains the City’s regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (collectively, “ADUs”) consistent with the requirements of Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22, and ADUs present an opportunity to develop more affordable housing in the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande wishes to further the policies, goals and programs of the Housing Element of the City's General Plan and to help facilitate the development of affordable housing within the City by creating an ADU Fee Waiver Program under which building permit fees and utility connection fees can be waived for ADUs that are 500 square feet or less and the property owners agree to rent the ADU to either low income or very low income households; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that providing a variety of housing options to workers of all income levels is socially and economically beneficial to the City and its residents; and
WHEREAS, to the extent that building permit fees and utility connection fees present a barrier to the development of affordable ADUs, the ADU Fee Waiver Program will provide an incentive to their construction and making them available to low-income or very lowincome households.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2. ADU FEE WAIVER PROGRAM.
City Staff is hereby authorized to implement an ADU Fee Waiver Program. Building permit fees and utility connection fees for Accessory Dwelling Units of 500 square feet or less shall be waived when:
A. The property owner agrees to rent the ADU to either a low-income household for a period of ten (10) years, or a very low-income household for a period of seven (7) years. Prior to receiving a building permit, the ADU owners shall execute and record an “Accessory Dwelling Unit Affordable Housing Declaration of Covenants and Land Use Restrictions - Fee Waivers” in a form approved by the City Attorney.
B. In implementing this ADU Fee Waiver program, the City shall rely on affordable

rental limits established by San Luis Obispo County and published each month.
C. The Accessory Dwelling Unit Affordable Housing Declaration of Covenants and Land Use Restrictions - Fee Waivers, shall provide that the property owner shall annually provide the City with evidence that rents collected comply with affordable limits.
D. Money from the City or Arroyo Grande Inclusionary Housing Affordable Housing Trust Fund shall be used to offset and recoup the revenue that otherwise would have been due to the City for building and connection fees as a result of the ADU Fee Waiver Program. Staff shall provide an annual update to the Council on the status of the Program and impacts to the Trust Fund.
SECTION 3. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or provision of this Resolution or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity of any other provision or applications, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are declared to be severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Resolution and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or provision thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases or provisions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Brian Pedrotti, Community Development Director
BY: Andrew Perez, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Grant Agreement with Smart Share Housing Solutions for Public Outreach, Education, and Project Management to Facilitate Development of Accessory Dwelling Units in Arroyo Grande DATE: September 13, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Approval of a Grant Agreement (Agreement) with Smart Share Housing Solutions (SSHS) to stimulate the development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs).
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
Funding in the amount of $37,887 was allocated for this work effort from American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds received by the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
Review the proposal from SSHS and authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement between the City and SSHS for public outreach, education, and project management and demonstration to facilitate the development of ADUs in the City.
BACKGROUND:
In 2021, the City was allocated $4,300,241 in ARPA funding from the federal government.
To support the immediate pandemic response, bring back jobs, and lay the groundwork for a strong and equitable recovery, ARPA established the Coronavirus State and Local Recovery Fund, designed to deliver $350 billion to state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments to bolster their response to the COVID-19 emergency and recover from the economic impacts caused by the public health crisis. The United States Treasury has issued rules detailing how ARPA funds may be used. One such use includes affordable housing programs provided to households, businesses, or populations disproportionately

City Council

impacted by the COVID-19 public health emergency. Additionally, ARPA funds may be provided to nonprofit organizations to address impacts associated with the pandemic.
SSHS is a non-profit organization focused on developing housing solutions that add to the stock of attainable, sustainable housing. The organization submitted a request for a portion of the City’s available ARPA funding to support a pilot program designed to increase the production of accessory dwelling units. At its meeting on October 12, 2021, the City Council allocated $37,887 of the City’s ARPA funding to support SSHS’s pilot program. Following this action, City staff worked with SSHS to review a refined proposal that would utilize the ARPA funding to increase ADU development for lower income households in Arroyo Grande.
The program proposes to provide education and outreach, technical assistance, project management services, affordability advocacy, lending and finance support, tenant screening and management assistance, and research, innovation, and community partnership support to increase the development of new ADUs in the City. The program recognizes the City’s reliance on ADUs to meet low- and moderate-income housing goals identified in the City’s Housing Element and strives to assist the City to reach those goals.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The project proposed by SSHS would consist of two main components: public outreach/ education and a demonstration project. Public outreach is intended to explain the what, how, and why as it relates to ADU creation. The program proposes to mail postcards to senior and low-income property owners highlighting the City’s pre-approved ADU plans and opportunities, California Housing Finance Agency (Cal HFA) grant opportunities, future workshops, and links to the organization’s web resources. Information about the City’s Fee Waiver Program, if enacted by Council, would also be included. Workshops hosted by SSHS will explain available options to develop an ADU, such as new construction, garage conversions, and use of pre-approved plans. A webinar and printed informational materials will serve as a separate means of transmitting information.
Webinars will explain the permitting process involved with each option, costs, and rental limits to ensure the affordability of the units. Informational and marketing materials developed as part of the pre-approved ADU plan program will also be incorporated into the public outreach component. The intended audience would be homeowners, realtors, contractors, and housing advocates.
The demonstration component of the program will consist of either a garage conversion or construction of an ADU using the pre-approved ADU plans. The intent of the demonstration is to illustrate the time and costs associated with an ADU project. The demonstration project will also be an opportunity for SSHS to act as a project manager to assist the homeowner through the permitting and construction process. The project will be made available for tours upon its completion, allowing homeowners that are

considering creating an ADU the opportunity to see the possibilities. As project manager, SSHS will also assist the participating homeowner with project design and submittal, Cal HFA qualification assistance, and contractor vetting and coordination. SSHS will assist in the drafting of contracts and leases for potential tenants to ensure affordability conditions are met.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Grant Agreement between the City and SSHS for public outreach, education, and project management and demonstration to facilitate the development of ADUs in the City;
2. Modify and approve the Grant Agreement and authorize its execution;
3. Do not approve the Grant Agreement; or
4. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Approval of the Agreement will allow SSHS to carry out its program to facilitate the creation of ADUs in the City, increasing housing opportunities for low- and moderateincome households. The program will assist towards meeting housing goals and implementing programs established in the Housing Element.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages have been identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for authorization of the Agreement.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Brian Pedrotti, Community Development Director
BY: Andrew Perez, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Discuss and Consider Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Title 16 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code (AGMC) Regarding Accessory Dwelling Units; Development Code Amendment 20-001 and
Consideration of a Fee Waiver Program for Certain Accessory Dwelling Units
DATE: September 13, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Introduction of the proposed Ordinance to amend Title 16 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code regarding accessory dwelling units (Attachment 1) will allow for adoption at a future City Council meeting and submittal to the State for final review consistent with applicable legislation. In addition, direction is requested by staff regarding a possible fee waiver program for certain accessory dwelling units.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
SB 2 grant funding in the amount of $20,000 was obtained to offset costs associated with the amendments to the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) regulations, including staffing hours, website development, and marketing materials.
RECOMMENDATION:
Introduce the Ordinance amending the regulations for accessory dwelling units and provide feedback about the details of the proposed fee waiver program.
BACKGROUND:
The California legislature has identified production of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) as an important strategy to increase housing statewide. In 2017, the State made significant changes to the manner by which local governments can regulate ADUs, primarily with respect to parking, types and sizes of ADUs, approval process and timelines, and utility fees. In response, the City adopted Ordinance 688 in October 2017, bringing local regulations consistent with 2017 State law at that time.

September 13, 2022
While State legislators acknowledged that the ADU permitting process was significantly streamlined as a result of the 2017 legislation, some were concerned that local jurisdictions’ regulations, such as unit size maximums and impact fees, continued to impede property owners from constructing ADUs. As a result, in October 2019, Governor Newsom signed new state housing bills that further amended Government Code §65852.2 and §65852.22 related to regulations for development of ADUs. Therefore, Title 16 must be amended again for consistency with State law.
The process to update the Ordinance began with a study session at the August 3, 2021 Planning Commission (PC) meeting. At the following PC meeting, staff presented amendments to the Ordinance developed in accordance with feedback obtained from the study session, and the PC recommended that Council adopt the proposed Ordinance.
The Ordinance amendments were introduced to Council at its meeting on February 8, 2022. Council directed staff to modify the draft Ordinance with regard to several aspects of the Ordinance. Staff modified the Ordinance accordingly and presented the changes to Council at a study session on July 26, 2022. Positive feedback from Council at the study session allowed staff to proceed to a recommendation hearing with the PC on August 16, 2022, at which PC recommended Council adopt the Ordinance amendments.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
State Legislation
The passage of Assembly Bills 68, 881, 587, 670, and 671, and Senate Bill 13 impacted the City’s regulatory authority over the construction of ADUs. A total of six amendments to State law for ADUs were included in the 2019 legislation, made effective on January 1, 2020. Table 1 summarizes each of the six (6) amendments, how each is implemented, and the current proposal to address each amendment in Arroyo Grande.

The proposed Ordinance would amend existing development standards for ADUs to address the changes required under the 2019 legislation, including allowed locations, setbacks, size limitations, parking, and owner occupancy (Exhibit A of Attachment 1), as discussed in more detail below.
Development Standards
Several existing property development standards are required to be amended in response to the changes to State legislation. The City’s existing ADU regulations prohibit ADU development on mixed-use zoned parcels and require a minimum lot size of 6,750 square feet. Amendments to State law allow ADUs on any parcel that allows a residential use, including mixed-use zones, regardless of lot size. An ADU may be established within an existing or proposed primary dwelling, conversion of an existing accessory structure, reconstruction of an existing structure proposed to be converted to an ADU, or construction of a new detached structure.
Perhaps the most significant change mandated by State law allows a parcel developed with a primary dwelling unit and an ADU to also establish a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) within the space of an existing primary dwelling unit, for a total of three (3) allowed units on a single property. A JADU, as defined in Government Code Section 65852.22, is a dwelling unit that is no more than 500 square feet in size and contained entirely within an existing or proposed single-family structure. A JADU shall include an efficiency kitchen, and may include separate sanitation facilities or shared sanitation facilities with the existing dwelling. The proposed Ordinance includes provisions addressing each of these required changes to the City’s existing development standards. Allows one ADU plus one junior ADU.

Size Limits & Setbacks
State legislation includes a “By-Right Provision” which allows the development of an attached or detached ADU with a maximum size of 850 square-feet for studio or onebedroom units, or 1,000 square-feet for a unit with more than one bedroom, in any circumstance. ADUs permitted through this provision are subject to a maximum height of 16 feet, four-foot side and rear setbacks, and compliance with all building codes. No minimum lot size or lot coverage requirement shall apply to units permitted by this provision. Section C of the proposed Ordinance establishes regulations for By-Right ADUs, consistent with State law.
In addition, the proposed Ordinance would amend the development standards for ADUs to limit the maximum size of new attached ADUs to fifty percent (50%) of the total living area of the existing or proposed living area of the primary dwelling unit, whichever is less.
An attached ADU created through the conversion of existing space is not subject to a maximum unit size. Expansion of an existing structure proposed to be converted to an ADU is limited to 150 square feet, but only for purposes of accommodating means of ingress and egress. While newly enacted State laws do not require cities to establish maximum size limitations for ADUs, any ordinance that does establish maximum sizes may not be less than the proposed limits included in the proposed ordinance. Under the proposed Ordinance, detached ADUs are limited to a maximum of 1,200 square feet. The maximum size limits proposed in the draft Ordinance meet the minimum sizes required by State law. This is a change from the existing regulations, which restrict the maximum size of both attached and detached ADUs to the lesser of:
The maximum unit size allowed in the zone in which the ADU is proposed, which ranged from 850 square feet in the Single Family and Village Residential zones, to 1,200 square feet in all others, or
Fifty percent (50%) of the primary unit.
ADUs proposed to exceed the sizes permitted by the By-Right Provision would remain subject to the setbacks, height limit, lot coverage, and floor-area ratio limitations of the zoning district in which they are located.
Parking
The City’s existing ADU regulations require one parking space per ADU bedroom, with a maximum of two parking spaces per unit. Amendments to State legislation establish a maximum of one parking space per ADU. Under the City’s current ADU regulations, parking spaces for ADUs do not need to be covered and may be located in the driveway or setbacks, and these provisions are proposed to remain the same. The proposed Ordinance establishes areas in the front yard where parking is prohibited and clarifies that ADU parking spaces must be on fully paved surfaces, consistent with AGMC Section
Item 9.a.

16.56.070. The existing ADU regulations do not require additional parking when an ADU meets any of the following five (5) exemptions consistent with State law:
1. If the accessory dwelling unit is located within one-half mile by travelled distance of an existing transit stop;
2. The accessory dwelling unit is located in the D-2.4 Historic Character Overlay District;
3. The accessory dwelling unit is located in a neighborhood where on-street parking permits are required but not offered to the occupant of the accessory dwelling unit;
4. A car share vehicle is located within one block of the accessory dwelling unit; or
5. The accessory dwelling unit is part of the existing primary residence or an existing accessory structure.
These existing parking exemptions will remain applicable, and State law creates two additional exemptions, which are included in the proposed Ordinance:
1. Parking spaces are not required when an ADU is created within an existing or proposed primary structure.
2. Parking spaces for a primary dwelling are not required to be replaced when a garage, carport, or other covered parking structure is demolished or converted in conjunction with the construction of an ADU.
The proposed Ordinance retains a parking requirement for ADUs when applicable.
However, given the ADU parking space exemptions established prior to the legislative updates to the State law in 2019, particularly the exemption for ADUs within a half mile of a bus stop, a significant portion of parcels within the City will not be required to provide parking spaces for ADUs. The City’s existing ADU regulations also require parking spaces in a garage or carport to be replaced when converted to an ADU, but that is no longer allowed to be required under State law. As a result, a property that chooses to convert a garage to an ADU is not required to provide parking for either the primary dwelling unit or ADU under the proposed Ordinance.
Impact Fees and Utilities
Building permits for both residential and non-residential projects are assessed impact fees to offset the costs associated with additional public facilities and infrastructure required for those new structures. Examples of impact fees include fire protection, police facilities, traffic signalization, park facilities, and water facilities. ADUs less than 750 square feet are exempt from impact fees pursuant to newly enacted State law. Units that exceed 750 square feet are assessed impact fees proportionately in relation to the square footage of the ADU to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. For example, a 2,000 square foot primary dwelling with a proposed 1,000 square foot ADU would result in fifty percent (50%) of the impact fees imposed on the primary dwelling. The proposed

Ordinance includes provisions addressing impact fees consistent with this newly enacted State law.
State law prevents the City from imposing fees or capacity charges for ADUs or JADUs created through the conversion of space within an existing single-family dwelling or accessory structure. When new, separate utility connections are proposed, the connection fees and connection charges must be proportionate to the burden of the proposed ADU based on either its square footage or plumbing fixtures as compared to the primary dwelling.
Additional Revisions Directed by Council
In addition to the changes that were made in response to changes in State law, Council directed staff to modify the Ordinance in certain respects to help achieve the City’s housing goals and maintain community character. Staff introduced amendments to the ADU Ordinance to Council on February 8, 2022 (Attachment 2), and at that hearing, Council directed staff to revise the draft Ordinance and conduct follow-up or additional research as follows:
1. Separate standards for tiny homes on wheels (THOW) from the ADU ordinance;
2. Develop objective design standards to ensure detached ADUs resemble the primary unit;
3. Add a prohibition of rooftop decks for detached ADUs;
4. Evaluate the feasibility of a fee waiver program;
5. Explore a pre-fabricated ADU program;
6. Modify the allowed locations to prohibit ADUs in the front yard; and
7. Develop incentives for installation of solar panels on ADUs.
Previous versions of the proposed Ordinance included standards for THOW, which have now been removed from the current proposed Ordinance. A provision prohibiting rooftop decks has also been added to the current edition. Staff was unable to identify any new incentives for homeowners to include solar panels on ADUs, and so the revised Ordinance does not include new provisions addressing this item. Revisions to address the other four discussion items are explained in more detail in the paragraphs below.
An amended draft Ordinance was presented to Council at a study session on July 26, 2022 (Attachment 3), and, after receiving supportive feedback, the revised Ordinance was presented to the Planning Commission on August 16, 2022, at a recommendation hearing (Attachment 4). The Planning Commission was supportive of each of staff’s responses to the seven items previously mentioned, and adopted a Resolution recommending Council adopt the amendments to the Ordinance.
