Overview of the Presentation
2 Review Franchise Agreement and
Rate Setting Process
Review of 2025 Rate Application
Proposed 2025
Schedule L and Schedule Q Rates
 Rate year 2025 is fifth year of the amended and
extended Agreement
 Rate setting process:
o Each July, Recology calculates the “maximum rates” for scheduled and additional services
o Recology’s data and information is independently audited o City and HDR independently review calculations of
“maximum rates”
o City adopts solid waste rates that do not exceed the
Contractor’s calculated “maximum” rates
 The calculation of “maximum rates” is formula-driven
and specified in the Section 11 of the Agreement
Overview of Franchise Agreement and Rate Setting
Process
3 Rate Year 2025 Application
4  Base Contractor’s increase 3.63%
o Base contractor “component” CPI
index adjustments
 Pass-Thru increase 0.41%
o Disposal and Agency costs
 2025 Adjustment Multiplier
o (2025 Total Target Revenue ÷
2024 Total Target Revenue) - 1 = 2.04%

Overview of Schedule Q (Additional Services)
Calculations of “Maximum” Rates
7  Schedule Q is related to additional services (e.g., extra pickup, community dropoff events, etc.)  Schedule Q uses a different rate index than Schedule L for its annual adjustments  Schedule Q adjusted annually by CPI-U General formula 2024 calculation for 2025 rates = (April 2024 CPI-U/April 2023 CPI-U = % adjustment) o 2025 rate is a 3.77% increase over 2024 rates
Recommendation and Council Discussion
8  HDR and the City have independently reviewed the study and concluded that the resulting maximum rates for 2025 were calculated in a manner consistent with the Agreement
o Schedule L – Maximum rate adjustment multiplier is 2.04% o Schedule Q – Additional Services are proposed to increase by the CPI-U General calculation of 3.77%
 HDR would recommend:
o The City move forward with the Proposition 218 process for the proposed 2025 rates o Set a Public Protest Hearing date for November 12, 2024 Proposed 2025

Adoption of Revised Housing Element
City Council- September 10, 2024
Kathy Kleinbaum, Assistant City Manager
Housing Element Update Process
• Housing Element Update commenced in May 2021
• City Council adopted the Housing Element and certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in January 2023, prior to the State’s statutory deadline
• Since then, revisions have been made in response to additional comment letters from HCD
• The City completed the zoning amendments needed for
compliance with State regulations in January 2024
• On July 26, 2024, HCD determined the most recent draft met statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law
• The City must repeal the prior adopted Housing Element and adopt the revised version in order to obtain HCD certification • Planning Commission unanimously recommended City Council adoption of revised Housing Element on August 20th
2 Revisions to Housing Element
from prior adopted version
• Added new policies to meet requirements to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing (AFFH) by encouraging affordable
housing development throughout Belmont
• Standardized approach and assumptions for housing sites inventory analysis
• Reduced density assumptions for the sites
• Broke up larger site consolidations into multiple
smaller sites
• Removed some smaller parcels from sites inventory
 No new properties were added to the inventory
• Reformatted the document to be more consistent with other City plan documents
3 Overview of AFFH Policy Additions
• Policy updates reviewed by City Council in March 2024 • Primary focus is on ADU development – going beyond
existing State laws related to ADUs and SB9 units
• Newly added programs allow for more flexible unit sizes and configurations
• Provide targeted outreach to encourage more ADU
development
• Offer loans to encourage ADUs to be available for lowincome households • Provide technical assistance to support development of affordable housing on church and school properties allowed under SB4
4 City Council Action
Approve Resolution to Adopt a General Plan Amendment
to repeal the previously adopted 2023-2031 Housing
Element and adopt the revised 2023-2031 Housing Element of the 2035 General Plan, in Compliance with State Housing Element Law
Next Steps
• Staff will submit Adopted Housing Element to HCD for
certification
• HCD has up to 60 days for final review cycle

TWIN PINES PARK STORMWATER

DETENTION BASIN PROJECT
City Council
September 10, 2024

MEETING OVERVIEW
9/10/2024 Twin Pines Park Stormwater Detention Basin Project 2 Project Background and Objectives
Project Description
CEQA Findings
Staff Recommendations
The Belmont Creek watershed encompasses
approximately 1,900 acres
Regional flooding occurs downstream of El Camino
Real
Belmont Creek can convey 10-year storm; however
more frequent events its capacity
The Belmont Creek Watershed Management Plan
identified the need for stormwater detention
basins
Project Background
9/10/2024 Twin Pines Park Stormwater Detention Basin Project 3 Project Objectives
9/10/2024 Twin Pines Park Stormwater Detention Basin Project 4 To provide downstream flood mitigation to protect the community, while maintaining habitat and natural surface water features as much as possible.

Designed a reasonable and cost-effective project that:
 Reduces downstream flooding and maximizes flood protection in the Lower Belmont Creek watershed;
 Reduces erosion and prevent failure of stream banks;
 Reduces downstream sedimentation and need for dredging;  Minimizes disruption and damage to public and private landowners; and  Improves water quality through pollutant capture and removal. Constructs an underground stormwater detention facility in Twin Pines Park / City Hall parking area
Designed to:
attenuate the peak stormwater flow of Belmont Creek
trap sediment and debris
reduce flood risk in the flood-prone lower creek reach downstream of El Camino Real
provide ancillary water quality benefits
Project Description

COMPONENTS
High Flow
Low Flow
Project Description
9/10/2024 Twin Pines Park Stormwater Detention Basin Project 7 Water levels

Water spills into
detention basin
Water exits
through 12-inch
outlet pipe into
Belmont Creek
Water diverted
through the
sediment
chamber
Water exits the
chamber
downstream of
the check
structure

OPERATION
Regular inspection and periodic sediment removal from
the sediment chamber
The amount of sediment removed during routine
maintenance varies depending on storm events and
sediment moving through the creek each year
Likely annual removal
Estimated to be approximately 200 cubic yards on average Removed sediment would be hauled to a site within San
Mateo County for beneficial reuse or to Ox Mountain
Landfill
Project Description
9/10/2024 Twin Pines Park Stormwater Detention Basin Project 8

MAINTENANCE
CEQA
9 The California Environmental Quality Act enacted in 1970 The City drafted an Initial Study and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the “whole of the project” and project alternatives CEQA requires the lead agency consider significant environmental impacts prior to project approval
CEQA requires the lead agency to adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
CEQA
9/10/2024 Twin Pines Park Stormwater Detention Basin Project 10 EIR identifies four areas that can be reduced to less than significant with mitigation measures:
• Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions. Mitigation addresses construction emissions.
• Biological Resources. Mitigation reduces construction impacts to sensitive species (special-status plants, bats, nesting birds); requires worker awareness environmental training;
compensation for loss of habitat and a wetland mitigation and monitoring plan.

CEQA ANALYSIS
9/10/2024 Twin Pines Park Stormwater Detention Basin Project 11

EIR FINDINGS
EIR findings continued:
• Cultural Resources. Mitigation requires development of an Archaeological Resources Data Recovery and Treatment Plan (ARDRTP), a cultural resources monitoring plan, a cultural resources awareness and sensitivity training program, and informational signage.
