CCN 579 - San Juan Pump Station Slope Repair Project - Staff Report.docx

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: February 22, 2022
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Nima Mazhari, Public Works Department, [email protected], (650) 730-5706 Agenda Title: CCN 579 - San Juan Sewer Pump Station Slope Repair Project Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution approving plans and specifications, authorizing advertisement for sealed bids, authorizing the City manager to execute a contract with the lowest responsible bidder for an amount not to exceed $275,000, plus an additional 15% construction contingency.

Strategic Focus Area
Infrastructure and Mobility
Background
On February 2019, during a period of prolonged and intense rainfall, 1,200 square feet of the East Laurel Creek bank below the San Juan Sewer Pump Station failed. The bank became saturated and one tree that was helping to stabilize the slope was uprooted. The slope has been tarped since the incident to avoid further slippage. The creek bank adjacent to the pump station is steeply sloped along the edge of the pump station. The City initiated a geotechnical and structural assessment of the creek bank wall subsequent to the slope failure.

The pump station is a critical facility as one of Belmont’s highest volume sanitary sewer lift stations.

Analysis
The proposed slope stabilization project includes shoring and restoration of a 60-foot-long section of the East Laurel Creek bank/slope adjacent to the San Juan Sewer Pump Station. To stabilize the bank and protect the pump station site, the project will install a retaining wall, recontour the bank, and the asphalt surface will be configured to drain away from the bank to the existing catch basins. Native riparian vegetation will be planted in the repair area to protect the bank from erosion and to restore the habitat.

This type of work affecting waterways is well-regulated. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) office granted approval of this project in early February. However, the approved permit package has only given the City until March 18 of this year to secure a contractor, which is a challenging timeline to meet. Staff has asked for extensions and if they are not granted, will attempt to meet the Army Corps deadline as there are other regulatory restrictions for the work to be completed in the dry season.

The estimated construction cost for the project is $275,000. Staff is requesting the City Council to authorize the City Manager to execute a construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder with an amount not to exceed $275,000, plus a 15% construction contingency for the project. 4

Public Hearing on District Elections -Map Presentation - Staff Report

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: February 22, 2022
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Jozi Plut, City Clerk/Communications Coordinator, [email protected], 650-595- 7414
Agenda Title: Public Hearing for Transition from At-Large Elections to by District Elections for Council Seats and At-Large Mayor
Agenda Action: Discussion & Direction
Recommendation
Consider demographer and staff presentation and public input on draft district maps, mayoral term, and potential elections sequence, and provide direction.

Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
On July 30, 2021, the City received a letter from Kevin Shenkman, of the law firm Shenkman & Hughes, alleging that the City's at-large election system violated the California Voting Rights Act of 2001 (CVRA) on behalf of Southwest Voter Registration Education Project alleging violation of California Voting Rights Act demanding the city change to its at-large method of electing councilmembers.

An “at-large” system of elections is subject to legal challenge under the CVRA if that method of election impairs the ability of a protected class to elect candidates of its choice or its ability to influence the outcome of the election, as a result of the dilution or the abridgment of the rights of the voters who are members of the protected class. The threshold of proof to establish a violation is low and does not require discriminatory intent.

Many dozens of cities and other public agencies in California have been sued under the CVRA. Prevailing CVRA plaintiffs are guaranteed to recover their attorneys’ fees and costs. With the exception of one case still in litigation, all public entities that have tried to contest the conversion to elections by district have either lost or have agreed to make the transition. In either instance, these jurisdictions have paid at least a portion of the plaintiff’s attorney’s fees and costs. Further, those cities that have litigated CVRA cases have paid millions of dollars in fees and were still forced to transition to by-district elections.

The Council met in closed session on October 26, 2021, to consider the litigation threat and held a public study session on November 2, 2021, to consider transitioning to district-based elections and whether to directly elect the mayor at-large. The Council concurred to transition to district elections with four districts and an at-large Mayor. At a regular Council meeting on November 9, 2021, the Council adopted Resolution 2021-096 outlining the city’s intent to change the City's system of election for the City Council from an at-large system to a district-based system by adoption of an ordinance. The district-based elections 119

Public Hearing on District Elections -Map Presentation - Staff Report system will be in use in the City's General Municipal Election for City Councilmembers beginning in November 2022.

The City Council authorized the City Manager to retain legal, demographic, and communication services to assist the City in its transition to a district-based elections system for the election of City Council members. The City Manager retained the services of Hanson Bridgett LLP, who retained Redistricting Partners to assist the City in its transition to district-based elections by providing a detailed analysis of the City’s current demographics and other information or data necessary to prepare a draft map or maps that divide(s) the City into voting districts in a manner consistent with the intent and purpose of the CVRA, the Federal Voting Rights Act, and all other federal and state laws.

Analysis
The City Council held initial informational public meetings on this matter on January 11, 2022; January 25, 2022. During this time Staff began an outreach campaign including but not limited to dedicated website creation, social media posting, e-newsletters, mapping workshop and pop-up informational booths throughout the City.

On February 8, 2022, City the City's consultant drafted three district plans for City Council and public review. The plans are drafted based on traditional districting criteria as established by the Fair Maps Act including that districts are of relatively equal size, contiguous, maintain "communities of interest", follow city and census designated place boundaries and keep districts compact. Council held a public hearing on the item for public input. A series of community of interest themes were identified by Councilmembers and members of public who participated. These include:
• Sterling Downs and Homeview neighborhoods should be kept whole and united within a district Hwy 101, Old County Road, and El Camino are natural boundaries to be used to create district borders on the eastside of the city
• There are potentially neighborhoods and other considerations such as geological or areas of common interest, such as open space, transit, schools within the city that could be considered as communities of interest and should be kept together as much as possible, some examples shared were:
• SterlingDowns, Homeview, Belmont Heights, Plateau-Skymont • Instead of the four-quadrant architecture of the draft plans, a different architecture should be evaluated for additional draft maps: creating eastern, western, and two central council districts • Eastern District could include Sterling Downs, Homeview, and area east of Hwy 101 • Western District could include Plateau-Skymont and Belmont Heights • Other governmental lines should be considered as possible borders, including:
• 2021 Supervisor Lines
• 2021 Water District Lines
• School Attendance Areas (“soft school boundaries”)
• Major thoroughfares through the city are not necessarily appropriate district borders as they split communities of interest in parts of the city
120

Public Hearing on District Elections -Map Presentation - Staff Report On Saturday, February 19, 2022, subsequent to the drafting of this report, a district mapping public workshop was held at the Belmont Twin Pines Community Center to allow for in-person participation on drawing district maps and provide community of interest input.

Recommendation and Next Steps:

Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Hold a public hearing for the purpose of receiving public comment regarding the draft maps of City Council voting district boundaries and sequence of elections

2. Receive a presentation from the City’s demographer on the draft maps

3. Provide direction on the preferred map(s) for additional analysis, revisions, or comment

4. Provide direction on the term of the At-Large Mayor (2- or 4-year term) and whether to elect the Mayor in 2022 or 2024

5. Provide direction on which districts will have an election in 2022 and which districts will have an election in 2024

6. Set the next public hearing for March 8, 2022, or such other date for introduction of ordinance establishing the election districts, office and term of elected Mayor, and sequence of elections Alternatives

1. Defer to Staff for more information

2. Take no action

Staff Contact: Grace Castaneda, Finance Director, [email protected] Jennifer Rose, Housing & Economic Development Manager, [email protected] Agenda Title: Report on Mid-Year Financial Results as of December 31, 2021 Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt resolutions amending the City of Belmont and Belmont Fire Protection District (BFPD) Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Budgets.

Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
• The City continues to address the fiscal and operational impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing takeaway of key revenue sources as a result of actions taken by the State of California. • Final dissolution of the Belmont Successor Agency is anticipated to occur in June 2022, resulting in a shift of certain property tax revenues. Due to the timing of the final dissolution and distribution of property taxes from the County, secured property taxes will be lower than FY 2022 budget estimates for both the City and BFPD, while residual property tax payments are expected to increase slightly. Overall property tax revenues are down. • Property tax in-lieu of vehicle license fee (VLF) continues to be underfunded by the State for a third straight year. Due to the shift of a local school district to non-basic aid, the current County estimates of VLF payments are higher than budget. This one-time increase does not make the City whole on VLF funding for FY’s 2020 through 2022. There is still a substantial shortfall in FY 2022, currently estimated county-wide at $57 million.
• Staffing vacancies and hiring freezes implemented to address State revenue actions and local pandemic impacts continue to provide cost savings City-wide. • Sales tax revenues, including Measure I, are exceeding FY2022 budget estimates. • Local development generated revenues such as impact fees and in-lieu fees provide critical funding for infrastructure, but other locally controlled funding is needed to support City services. • General Fund balance is trending higher than the FY 2022 Budget target, mainly attributable to staff vacancy savings in the current fiscal year. Staff vacancies are not sustainable long-term. 122

Mid-Year Budget Review
• The City must take action to ensure long-term financial sustainability and local control over revenue sources to prevent further cuts to City Services including cuts to public safety, parks and public works services.

Analysis
The City prepares a Mid-Year Review annually, analyzing the current budget at the six-month midpoint.

The Mid-Year Review serves to discuss the financial results of the organization from July through December, and suggests corrective actions in the event expectations differ from results This year’s Mid-Year Review provides important details on the City’s financial status and includes the following components.

Mid-Year Budget Presentation
The attached presentation summarizes year-to-date financial results, trends on major revenue sources, fund balance forecasts, and an overview of financial challenges facing the City.

Results Summary Overview
• Like many California cities, revenues are slowly recovering. General Fund revenues were $14.3 million, representing 108% of the year-to-date budget, mainly due to a smaller than anticipated VLF shortfall. All Fund revenues (including General Fund) were $44.1 million, representing 82% of the year-to-date budgets.
• General Fund balance is up. The City ended December 31, 2021 with a fund balance of $16.4 million, not including budgeted fund transfers which will be booked at the end of the fiscal year.

With 50% of the budgeted fund transfers at mid-year at $1.5 million, the General Fund balance is $14.9 million at December 31, 2021. In comparison, General Fund balance was $12.1 million at December 31, 2020, which included 50% of fund transfers. The fund balance increase is largely due to the City receiving the first half of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) one-time funding of $3.2M in FY 2022. Without this one-time funding, General Fund balance would be down from prior year.

Major Revenue Source Trends
• Sales Tax revenue is holding steady. Sales Tax Revenues, including Measures I/A/W and Public Safety, are trending $635,000 higher than Fiscal Year FY 2022 budget. • Hotel Room Tax revenue is slowly rebounding. A nominal increase of Hotel Tax Revenues (i.e., Transient Occupancy Tax or TOT) is projected for FY 2022, but this remains a highly volatile source of revenue and overall revenues for FY 2022 are still projected to be down $2 million compared to pre-pandemic years.
• Property Tax revenue is down. The Belmont Successor Agency is expected to be fully dissolved by June 2022. In FY 2023, both the City and BFPD are expected to see an increase in general property tax revenues as a result of Successor Agency dissolution. Overall general property tax revenues are down, with a key exception described below:
123

Mid-Year Budget Review
o Property Tax In-lieu of Vehicle License Fee (VLF) is higher than budget estimates.

VLF continues to be underfunded by the State for the third straight year; however, when a school shifts to non-basic aid, additional funding is made available for VLF. For FY 2022, the County currently estimates a $57 million shortfall of VLF due to one school district shifting to non-basic aid. Because the FY 2022 adopted budget anticipated a larger shortfall, this results in a $1 million increase in VLF funding to the City for FY 2022. This one-time increase does not make the City whole on VLF funding for FY’s 2020 through 2022, and the long-term trend continues to assume all school districts will convert to basic aid, which results in increasing VLF shortfall year-over-year.

Mid-Year Financial Reports & Budget Adjustments
The Mid-Year Review provides an analysis of actual results compared to Fiscal Year 2021 while addressing any significant variances that have occurred or will likely occur prior to the end of this Fiscal Year. To assist in this analysis, staff generates the Mid-Year Financial Reports (Attachment C) which includes the December 2021 Monthly Financial Reports and a detailed Statement of Revenues and Expenditures. These reports compare budget amounts vs. actual results by major revenue source and expenditure division.
• Routine adjustments to budget revenues include variances associated with the timing of the receipt of certain General Fund revenues and variances associated with the timing of the receipt for fees related to large development projects expected to be completed by the end of the Fiscal Year. • Routine adjustments to budget expenditures reflect operational and staffing needs for departments and timing of capital improvement project expenditures.

Other notable FY 2022 budget adjustments include:
• A request to transfer $580,000 from Measure I Fund 102 to Street Improvement Fund 234 to fund completion of the Ralston Avenue Corridor Improvement Project Segment 3 (CIP Project #3223) pavement restoration as well as additional work associated with sidewalk conforms/restorations.

Project funding initially allocated to the project by Council in January 2021 was reduced by $500,000 in the FY 2022 adopted budget because bids came in lower than the engineer's estimate.

However, updated total project cost estimates (including supplemental work) indicate that the originally approved project funding will be required; a total $580,000 is requested to be reprogrammed in FY 2022 to complete this major improvement. • The project has experienced delays related to the contractor scheduling and the need for sidewalk modifications. The updated total project cost is projected to exceed the original estimate by approximately $580,000. The City will continue to use all grant funds for the project prior to using Measure I funds.
• An appropriation request in the Development Services Fund 210 for $60,000 to 1) eliminate one temporary part time position and add one permanent Office Assistant FTE position, and 2) provide funding for temporary part-time building inspector services, both in the Community Development Department (Permit Center) to help respond to the steady increase in City-wide development 124

Mid-Year Budget Review
activity. A targeted scope Community Development fee study is slated for later this Fiscal Year which may help generate additional revenues to offset cost of providing services and offset the proposed staffing augmentations.

Successor Agency Final Dissolution Timeline
Actions taken by the State of California to dissolve redevelopment agencies and a recent court case have resulted in reductions to key revenue sources for both the City and Belmont Fire Protection District (BFPD). One of the most significant takeaways was a change in the methodology for distribution of Residual Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Funds (RPTTF). To address this impact, the City has taken steps over the past year to accelerate the timeline for final dissolution of the Belmont Successor Agency, which is anticipated to occur by June 2022. Fiscal impacts of the Successor Agency dissolution are as follows:
• Because the dissolution will not be finalized until June 2022 after a majority of property taxes have been distributed, both the City and BFPD will continue to see a reduction in general property tax for FY 2022, which is reflected in the midyear adjustments. • The City (in its capacity as Successor Agency) requests an appropriation to fund a one-time Successor Agency reconciliation payment to the County Auditor that will facilitate final dissolution. The City is working with the County Auditor to complete a comprehensive financial reconciliation to determine the total amount of unspent Belmont RPTTF to be remitted back to the County Auditor for distribution to the taxing entities (including both the City and BFPD). • In June 2022, funds that previously would have been deposited into RPTTF will be distributed to the taxing entities as general property tax.
• In FY 2023 and beyond, both the City and BFPD will see an increase in general property tax revenues.

As part of the City’s efforts to ensure long-term fiscal and organizational sustainability, the City continues to engage the community on identifying targeted locally controlled sources of revenue that fund community priority services such as public safety and public works services.

Proposed Resolutions
Staff recommends that Council adopt resolutions amending the City of Belmont and Belmont Fire Protection District (BFPD) Fiscal Year 2022 Budgets as proposed. These mid-year resolutions are considered annually as part of the budget management process.

Next Steps
Once the Mid-Year Budget Review is complete, the City will continue to provide monthly financial reports to City Council. Feedback from Council on the results of the Mid-Year Financial Reports and Presentation will help guide the budget development process for FY 2023. Furthermore, the City will also continue to engage residents on their City service needs and priorities and reporting on these when the FY 2023 Budget is introduced to the Council in May 2022.

2-11-22 Disposable Food Service Ware Ordinance Amendment - Staff Report

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: February 22, 2022
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Diane Lynn, Public Works Department, [email protected], 650-595-7467 Agenda Title: Disposable Food Service Ware Ordinance Amendment Agenda Action: Ordinance
Recommendation
Introduce an ordinance adopting by reference San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 4.107 with city amendments regulating the use of disposable food service ware by food facilities and schedule a public hearing.

Strategic Focus Area
Quality of Life
Background
Many disposable foodware items are made from polystyrene and plastic and are used one time before becoming waste that remains in our landfills for hundreds of years. They are also a major contributor to street litter, water pollution, marine/wildlife endangerment, and climate change. In addition, foodware made from natural fiber (e.g., paper, sugarcane, etc.) can contain perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, a class of hazardous chemicals known as PFAS, which is used to make fiber-based foodware resistant to water and grease. These lingering chemicals persist in the environment and the human body, leading to continued exposure and health risks.

On February 25, 2020, the County Board of Supervisors adopted its Disposable Food Service Ware Ordinance, codified as San Mateo County Ordinance Code (SMCOC)_Chapter 4.107, regulating the use of disposable food service ware by food facilities. This county-wide model ordinance was available for cities to adopt and created uniformity and consistency via county-wide implementation. On November 24, 2020, the Belmont City Council unanimously adopted SMCOC Chapter 4.107 by reference with city amendments.

On February 23, 2021, the San Mateo County Board amended SMCOC Chapter 4.107 to extend the enforcement start date of March 25, 2021 to March 25, 2022 to give food facilities additional time to comply after recognizing the hardship caused by COVID-19 on restaurants and other food facilities.

On October 5, 2021, Governor Newsom signed into law AB 1200, which prohibits the sale or distribution of single-use foodware comprised of paper or other plant-based natural fiber that contains intentionally added PFAS. AB 1200 goes into effect on January 1, 2023, and does not direct a specific entity to be the enforcement agency.
162

2-11-22 Disposable Food Service Ware Ordinance Amendment - Staff Report On February 8, 2022, San Mateo County Board of Supervisors repealed and replaced SMCOC Chapter

4.107 to align with the new State requirements on foodware in AB 1276 and AB 1200.

Analysis
New SMCOC Chapter 4.107 incorporates provisions to reflect changes in state law. Below is a summary comparison of the changes to SMCOC Chapter 4.107 and the new state requirements.

Alignment changes for AB 1276

1. Previous Chapter 4.107 requirement: All food facilities may offer single-use foodware accessories to consumers.

New State requirement: Food facilities can offer single-use foodware accessories only at drivethroughs and public airports.

New Chapter 4.107: Only food facility drive-throughs and food facilities at public airports can offer accessories to consumers.

2. Previous Chapter 4.107requirement: Food facilities may distribute foodware accessories using dispensers and have them available at self-serve areas, including in open bins/containers for consumers to grab-and-go.

New State requirement: Open bins/containers are not allowed for distribution of accessories.

Consumers must request them from the employee and/or food facilities may have them available at refillable dispensers that dispense accessories one item at a time.

New Chapter 4.107: Food facilities cannot have available accessories in open bins/containers at self-serve areas for consumers to grab-and-go, and dispensers can only dispense accessories one item at a time.

3. Previous Chapter 4.107 requirement: Food facilities are not prohibited from using self-serve, refillable bulk condiment dispensers.

New State AB 1276 requirement: Food facilities are explicitly allowed to use self-serve, refillable bulk condiment dispensers to distribute condiments.

New Chapter 4.107: Explicitly allow for use of refillable bulk condiment dispensers.

Enforcement Start Date
San Mateo County extended the current enforcement start date of the Ordinance from March 25, 2022 to October 1, 2022 to provide additional time for food facilities to come into compliance with the new state requirements.

Alignment changes for AB 1200

1. The PFAS requirements for all single-use fiber-based foodware will go into effect on January 1, 2023 and supersede those previously in Chapter 4.107. The County will look to the State to assume responsibility for implementing and enforcing the new requirements pertaining to AB 1200 starting on January 1, 2023.

Adoption by reference of the new Chapter 4.107 will makes the County updates to Chapter 4.107 effective in Belmont.
