AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 28, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Greg Thompson, Community Development Director
PREPARED BY: Christina Dyson
SUBJECT: Waiving electoral requirement for General Plan Technical Advisory Committee (Public Works/Community Development
Director Thompson)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION
Adoption of Resolution No. 3306-22 waiving the electoral requirement for the General Plan Technical Advisory Committee in relation to the three at large, technical members.
I. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65300 et seq., government entities, such as cities and counties, are required to adopt and administrate a comprehensive General Plan. This planning document anticipates a 20-year useful lifespan and is amended periodically.
The City of Atwater last updated and adopted its current General Plan in August of 2000. It may be considered to have served its useful life as a planning document. The City has now begun the process to update its 2000 General Plan and the technical studies associated with it.
On December 13, 2021, the City Council approved Resolution No. 3274-21 establishing the General Plan Technical Advisory Committee to assist with the City’s General Plan Update. The committee serves in an advisory capacity only; chartered to assist the City’s planning agencies in the duties set forth in the Resolution.
The City of Atwater General Plan Update is a maximum three-year process but could be less. The General Plan Technical Advisory Committee is intended to be a limitedterm committee appointed only to provide recommendations throughout the update process. At the completion of the General Plan Update, the committee will be dissolved.
The General Plan Technical Advisory Committee would consist of seven members that would be appointed by the Mayor with ratification by the City Council. The Committee
CITY COUNCIL
Paul Creighton, Mayor

Agenda Report - Page 2
would consist of two (2) members from the City Council (Mayor and a City Council Member), two (2) Planning Commission members (Chairperson and a Commissioner), and three (3) Technical Members (City or non-City residents appointed by the City Council). These members are considered to be standing members.
On February 14, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. CS 1044 amending Section 2.07.010 “Commission Appointments” of the Atwater Municipal Code. This ordinance allows the City Council, by resolution, to waive the elector requirement of the General Plan Technical Advisory Committee. The Committee requires individuals with technical experience pertaining to the technical areas of the General Plan Update. The waiver of the elector requirement for this committee allows non-residents with technical expertise and background to serve on the committee.
Pursuant to this recently adopted Ordinance, Staff is recommending the City Council, by resolution, waive the elector requirement for the General Plan Technical Advisory Committee relating to the three at large members only.
II. FISCAL IMPACTS:
No fiscal impacts are anticipated by this resolution. This item has been reviewed by the Finance Department.
III. LEGAL REVIEW:
This item has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.
IV. EXISTING POLICY:
Under section 5.07.010 of the A.M.C - Administration and Personnel, the City Council may, by resolution, waive the elector requirement for the General Plan Technical Advisory Committee.
V. ALTERNATIVES:

VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:
The public will have an opportunity to provide comments on this item prior to City Council action.
Agenda Report - Page 3
VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Pursuant to Section 21065 of the Public Resources Code, this item is not considered a “project” in that the action would not have a direct or indirect affect to the physical environment and therefore is not subject to analysis.
IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:
Following approval, staff will continue recruitment of members for the General Plan Technical Advisory Committee.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 28, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Greg Thompson, Community Development Director
PREPARED BY: Christina Thurman, Executive Assistant
SUBJECT: Authorizing submittal of grant application to California Department of Parks and Recreation for Per Capita Grant Program and approving Budget Amendment establishing
revenue and expense account for Per Capita Grant
Funds (Public Works/Community Development Director
Thompson)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION
Choose Option "A" or Option "B"; adoption of Resolution No. 3304-22 approving the submittal of grant application to California Department of Parks and Recreation for Per Capita Grant funds; adoption of Resolution No. 3305-22 approving Budget Amendment No. 26 amending Fiscal Year 2021-22 Budget to establish a revenue and expense account for Per Capita Grant funds; and authorizes and directs the the City Manager, or her designee, to serve as the City's authorized representative to execute all documents on behalf of the City.
I. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
BACKGROUND:
The California Department of Parks and Recreation’s Per Capita Program originates from Proposition 68, titled The California Drought, Water, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection, and Outdoor Access for All Act of 2018, placed on the ballot and approved by voters on June 5, 2018. The Per Capita Program provides funds for two programs:
the General Per Capita Program and the Urban County Per Capita Program. The City is eligible to receive funds under the General Per Capita Program.
Under the General Per Capita Program, grants funds are available to local governments for park rehabilitation, creation, and improvements on a per capita basis.
Grant recipients are encouraged to utilize awards to rehabilitate existing infrastructure and to address deficiencies in neighborhoods lacking access to the outdoors. The City of Atwater’s per capita allocation is $177,952.
CITY COUNCIL
Paul Creighton, Mayor
Danny Ambriz Tyler Button
John Cale Brian Raymond
Agenda Report - Page 2
Per Capita Program Grant Guidelines (see pages 5 & 12) (PRC §80061(c)):
Projects must be for recreational purposes, either acquisition or development, and cannot combine both acquisition and development into one project. Multiple projects may be completed under one contract, each project requires a separate application packet.
A project can only have one location. One project that serves several parks is not permitted.
Grantees must use Per Capita grant funds to supplement existing expenditures, rather than replace them.
If a project has been approved by the governing body, and a funding source has been identified, Per Capita funds cannot be swapped in as a new funding source unless the prior funding source is applied to another recreational capital project. Projects not serving a “severely disadvantaged community” (median household income less than 60% of the statewide average) require a 20% match.
ANALYSIS:
As part of the grant application, the City is required to submit an Authorizing Resolution from the City Council. In accordance with the Per Capita Program Procedural Guide, the Authorizing Resolution serves two purposes:
1. It is the means by which the City Council agrees to the terms of the contact, including confirmation that the City has the funding to complete, operate, and maintain projects associated with the contract; and
2. It designates a title position to represent the City Council on all matters regarding the project associated with the contract.
The City’s grant application to the California Department of Parks and Recreation will request that the City’s funding allocation of $177,952 to be applied toward the installation of a restroom facility at Osborn Park. Because Osborn Park is not listed as being in an identified disadvantaged area (median household income is less than 60% of the statewide average), a 20 % local funding match will be required as part of the program’s criteria.
Staff received two proposals for pre-cast restroom facilities. Structure Cast submitted a proposal in the amount of $98,500 for a Double ADA Gender Neutral Restroom (EXHIBIT "A") and Exeloo submitted a proposal in the amount of $198,800 for the Exeloo Jupiter 22 DD Twin cubicle restroom (EXHIBIT "B"). The overall estimated cost to complete the project is $320,280.35. The City will need to supplement the grant with approximately $177,918.75. Combined with the City's grant funding allocation of $177,952.00, minus the 20% required Local Match, for a total of $142,361.60, the City will have sufficient funds to cover the estimated project cost of $320,280.35 With the direction of City Council on the proposal that is preferred, staff will coordinate with the
Agenda Report - Page 3
vendor and prepare the necessary documents that are needed for the submission of the application.
II. FISCAL IMPACTS:
Upon adoption of Resolution No. 3305-22, Budget Amendment No. 26, there will be sufficient appropriation of $142,361.60 in the Parks and Recreation Facilities Fund, Capital Projects, Osborn Park Renovation expense account number 1020-1080-V039.
The Prop 68 Per Capita Program Grant revenue of $142,361.60 will be established in the Parks and Recreation Fund, Prop 68 Osborn Park Renovation revenue account number 1020-0000-XXXX. The remaining balance of $177,918.75 to complete the project will come from ARPA Funds, Osborn Park Renovation project account number 1010-1080-V039, sufficient funds are avaialable. This item has been reviewed by the Finance Department.
III. LEGAL REVIEW:
This item has been reviewed by the City Attorney's Office.
IV. EXISTING POLICY:
This item is consistent with goal numbers CO-9 and CO-10 of the City's 2000 General Plan, Chapter 4 Open Space and Conservation Element: to protect and enhance historical and culturally significant resources within the Planning Area; Enhance and protect the scenic resources within the City.
V. ALTERNATIVES:
N/A
VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
The Community Development Department and the City Manager’s office are coordinating this application submittal and any other necessary grant documents needed.
VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:
The public will have an opportunity to provide comments on this item up to and including during the City Council meeting when the item is read for consideration.
VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The proposed action is categorically exempt under the provisions of CEQA and the
Agenda Report - Page 4
State CEQA Guidelines. The proposed project involves the operation, maintenance, leasing, licensing or minor alteration of existing public facilities, with construction of minor appurtenant structures involving negligible or no expansion of use and no possibility of significantly impacting the physical environment. Accordingly, the proposed action qualifies under Class 1 and Class 3 Categorical Exemptions (Sections 15301 and 15303 of the State CEQA Guidelines).
IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:
Upon City Council's approval, the Community Development Department will coordinate with the City Manager to prepare and submit the application.

PREPARED BY: Christina Thurman, Executive Assistant
SUBJECT: Approving On-Call Professional Services Agreements with various consultants for Construction/Project Management Services (Public Works/Community Development Director
Thompson)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION
Approval of Professional Services On-Call Master Agreements, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with GHD, Inc. of Fresno, California, Griffin Structures of Irvine, California, Precision Civil Engineering, Inc. of Fresno, California, Premier Management Group of Roseville, California, and Quad Knopf, Inc. of Merced, California for construction/project management services, in an amount not to exceed $200,000 per Task Order; and authorizes and directs the City Manager, or her designee, to execute the Agreements on behalf of the City.
I. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
BACKGROUND:
As the City of Atwater continues to grow, and with limited in-house resources for some technical expertise, some services may be provided by a consultant or an outside vendor. The Community Development Department, from time to time, is in need of assistance in the following areas:
Strategic Consulting
Real Estate Consulting
Development Management
Financial Services
Project Management
Project Delivery
To improve efficiencies, including project timelines, staff prepared a Request for Qualifications for On-Call Construction Management and/or Project Management

Services.
On February 24, 2022, staff released a formal Request for Qualifications (RFQ’s) for on-call Construction Management and/or Project Management Services as outlined in the City's Purchasing Manual. The purpose of the request was to seek relationships and contracts for services with companies with the qualifications and requirements identified in the RFQ.
On March 14, 2022, staff reviewed the Statements of Qualifications received under the published request using a qualifications based selection process in determining which consultants to contract with on an "On-Call basis". These services will be on-call requests for various projects within the City of Atwater through the On-Call Master Agreements. The contracts will be for a period of three years, with an option of two (2) one-year extensions including any amendments for each category.
ANALYSIS:
The Master Agreements will allow the City to request the services of the retained Consultants on an individual project basis as the need arises. Prior to any work completed under the Master Agreements, the City will solicit a proposal for a specific scope of service from the retained consultants. Proposals will be evaluated based on scope, understanding and schedule. The successful proposal will be given a Task Specific Professional Services Agreement executed by the Consultant and the City once the cost fee has been negotiated.
The Master Agreements with the selected consultants will not limit the City’s ability to seek other proposals for professional services that, at the City’s sole discretion, are outside the scope, ability or availability of the currently retained consultants. The purpose of the Master Agreement arrangement is for the convenience of the City for the projects that are routine and general in nature. For specialized projects, the City may still seek a project specific RFQ.
Consultants shall provide professional services in the following categories:
Project Management Services
Construction Management Services
Consultants shall provide professional services to the City of Atwater on an as-needed basis (on-call). The examples of the types of projects that may require professional services under this On-Call Master Agreement may include but are not limited to:
Strategic Consulting, Real Estate Consulting, Development Management, Financial Services, Project Management, Project Delivery, Right of Way Acquisitions, and Staff Augmentation.
II. FISCAL IMPACTS:

Upon approval by City Council, the Professional Services Agreements will be executed and processed per City policies and procedures.

Section 5. INDEMNIFICATION AND PROFESSIONAL’S RESPONSIBILITIES.
5.1 General Requirement. Professional shall indemnify, defend with counsel selected by the City, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Professional or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Professional shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises wholly from the negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Professional or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Professional to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Professional from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Professional acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

On-Call Master Professional Services Agreement between March 29, 2022 City of Atwater and GHD, Inc. Page 9 of 16
agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.
5.3 Design Professionals. To the extent that the services under this Agreement include design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8, as may be amended from time to time, Professional’s duty to indemnify under Sections 5.1 and 5.2 shall only be to the maximum extent permitted by California Civil Code Section 2782.8.
