17. Economic Consequences of Special Taxes in California City p1, p2

18. Argument in Favor of Measure C (*Including BROKEN PROMISES) Reasonable minds can only conclude, the Special Parcel Tax Dependency Scheme must i) be reduced and ii) must end the plague on assets, pursuant to ballot language and by intent of the agency as arguments described in the ballot measure!
This sitting Council has an opportunity to stop repeating the fiscally insane epic dependency scheme with the corrections necessary to a) reduce the regressive, destructive measure, and b) combining with improving economic policy results URGENTLY!
Thank you for any and all support you can give a) to review the resources, and b) make a finding that the Reduction Plan found in Subsection 3-2.1.504 requires a correction in the Reduction formula.

Recommended Action: Council motion to instruct staff to make the appropriate correction in the Reduction formula necessary. As described in the ballot measure and PROVEN VALID MATHEMATICAL THEORY (and Formula Maximum) analysis provided.

Lastly, the agency can vastly improve culture and professional performances with economic development and attracting job creating industries with super land use and economic policies.

Looking forward to your thoughts, and responsive comments, D.J. Twohig

Importance: High
Doug,
TRUST is too important! TRUST has been lost so many times over! READ 3-2-1-504 b) and c) again! Read it for yourself!
The facts are irrefutable! The math is irrefutable! Taxpayers are getting hosed by this administration year after year!
Is very disappointing to witness the City Attorney opinions distort the facts to this administration (including the meaning of the Ordinance and language found therein). You can read the ordinance (attached) and discern for yourself, the City Attorney arguments appear to clearly distort the meaning of ordinance and the ballot.

The Council appears set up for big failure by City staff – it is very unfortunate.

Subject: City Attorney Hung her hat on this subsection C c) For purposes of this section, "new revenue" means the amount calculated by subtracting the "qualified revenue" collected in Fiscal Year 2017-2018 from the "qualified revenue" collected (or projected by the Finance Director to be collected) during the fiscal year immediately prior to the current tax year. For example, for purposes of calculating the rate reduction applicable to the tax levied in Tax Year 2020-2021, "new revenue" would be calculated by subtracting the "qualified revenue" collected in Fiscal Year 2017-2018 from the "qualified revenue" collected in Fiscal Year 2019-2020.

If you go listen to the video, I believe she said this subsection in her mind closed the door on my presentation (which focused on subsection b).

She read the words projected by the Finance Director to be collected and said something like, “Projected could also include delinquent parcels”
NOTE: Subsection C is not referring specifically to … b) the daily per parcel rate reduction shall be the amount, calculated on a per parcel per day basis (and rounded down to the nearest cent), that would be necessary to raise an amount of revenue equal to ninety percent of "new revenue." Rather, Subsection C defines “new revenue” (the top half of the formula)… WOW!!!!!! WOW!!!!
WOW!!!!
WOW!!!!
I warned the Council that the City attorney verbal testimony should be rejected; that she needs to put her position in writing – to be examined and held to a standard including possible malpractice, or else the Council should have rejected her testimony!
City Officials are complicit by not demanding city attorney position in writing! And omission of HJTA analysis, and my analysis and recommendation from the agenda package.

No updates from CBT accounting and tax receipts due July 31st from Quarter ending June 30, 2022! Wow!

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
July 25, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Barragan, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Chlorine Sensor Probe Replacement for WWTP Facility BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION: The City operates a disinfected tertiary wastewater treatment facility. The accuracy of current disinfection potential within the tertiary system is critical to meeting state permit discharge standards. The piece of equipment responsible for measuring and sending this information to a control / display unit, the chlorine sensor probe, has reached beyond the end of its average 5-year service cycle.

This average 5-year service cycle is due to the acids the sensor probe is immersed in.

The current sensor probe was installed in 2012 and has lasted 11 years. We were able to extend the service cycle with proper maintenance, cleaning and quarterly inspections done as part of the maintenance program with HACH. However, during the most recent inspection by HACH, it was discovered that the degradation has become too large for the sensor probe to continue giving critical, accurate measurements and readings for much longer.

Therefore, in an effort to be proactive and avoid adverse operating conditions (which could run the risk of non-compliance and/or damage to the overall equipment), these parts were already budgeted for.

Since these parts pertain to the proprietary equipment only available through HACH, we are requesting authorization to purchase a replacement sensor probe from HACH as soon as possible. Thank you.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve the purchase of the aforementioned Chlorine Sensor Probe.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Current Fund Balance: 52-5213-450 $18,000.00
Amount Requested from Fund: $ 2,293.00

SUBJECT: Perc Water Quote for 2022 Consumer Confidence Report BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:

A Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) also known as a drinking water quality report provides the public with important information about the quality of the local drinking water. The CCR shows the findings of the required water testing and monitoring that is done throughout the year as well as the water source and any possible contaminants.

The CCR is a state requirement for community water suppliers that serve the same people year-round and is to be done on an annual basis. The 2022 report is now due.

Staff has asked Perc Water to present a quote on performing this service. The quote is attached.

Once the report is complete, it will be publicly posted at City Hall as well as distributed to our water users via mail. It will also be available on the City website, or hard copies will be available upon request at City Hall.

Current Fund Balance: 51-5115-310 $16,828.09

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
JULY 25, 2023
PREPARED BY: Inge Elmes, Acting City Manager

SUBJECT: Special Tax Discussion

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The council has requested that dedicated time be brought forward at every council meeting to discuss the special tax.

Please refer to the timelines for the ballot measures:
• The next time to do an election will be consolidated in the Presidential primary election of March 5, 2024.
• Final delivery dates for a Resolution for the March election are still being determined but will likely be early October. Should be 88 days prior to election. • There is a 30-day certification for March election, so this will be around April 2.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending open discussion from the council based on timelines above. 106 July 25, 2023

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
July 25, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Barragan, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Update to the Master Fee Schedule
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION: The City’s Master Fee Schedule has been updated, per council’s request. Changes are in color; Red & Blue.

FISCAL IMPACT: The fees in the Master Fee Schedule are for the cost of services.

The goal is that the services provided by city staff will be supported by these fees and not the general fund. The adoption of this new updated Master Fee Schedule is to lower the level of impact on the general fund subsidization.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve the DRAFT updated Master Fee Schedule.

CITY COUNCIL
July 25, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Barragan, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Water Standby Charge— Fiscal Year 2023-24 Levy …………………………………………………………………………………………………

BACKGROUND
California City operates a water system that was built to serve a large number of parcels that were planned for development at the time the water system was designed.

Since Fiscal Year 1993-94, the City has charged a Water Standby Charge to undeveloped parcels that, when developed, will receive service from the City’s existing water system. The rate of the standby charge is unchanged from past years and has not been increased since 1993-94. The amount of this charge ranges from $15 to $25 per year. The charge is collected on the property tax roll. Once a parcel is connected to the system and begins receiving (and paying for) water service, the standby charge ceases.

Each year, the City Council holds a public hearing to approve placing the standby charges on the property tax roll. After conducting the hearing, notice of which was published, the Council may adopt the attached resolution which sets the rate for 2023- 2024 and directs that the standby charge be collected by the County.

In Fiscal Year 2020-21, the City Council created a program whereby owners of property that is not within 100 feet of an existing City water delivery or transmission line could receive a refund of their Fiscal Year 2020-21 standby charge.

In the City Council meeting of July 11, 2023 the City Council reviewed a proposed Resolution in accordance with the Water Standby Charge described above. The City Council expressed a desire for eligible property owners to be able to claim the refund in recurring fiscal years. The attached revised Resolution addresses the City Council’s request.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution No. 07-23-2993 adopting water standby charges for Fiscal Year 2023-24, and for eligible property owners to request a refund of the standby charge in the 2023-24 fiscal year and in future recurring years. The City Council will approve staff to create and administer an appeals form that conforms to the resolution. 134

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY

OF CALIFORNIA CITY INITIATING PROCEEDINGS FOR THE

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE WATER STANDBY CHARGES
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024 AND RECURRING REFUND FOR

ELIGIBLE PROPERTY OWNERS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CALIFORNIA CITY RESOLVES as follows:

SECTION 1. Purpose
This Resolution initiates proceedings to levy the City’s existing water standby charges for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

SECTION 2. Findings
The City Council finds, determines, and declares as follows:

A. Due to the size of the City and the interspersing of developed and undeveloped land within many areas of the City, the City operates and maintains a very extensive water system that is designed to serve not only the developed parcels in the City but also the territory that has not yet been developed.

B. The oversized water system is outdated, in need of substantial rehabilitation and Improvements, and expensive to operate and maintain.

C. The Uniform Standby Charge Procedures Act (Gov’t Code Sec. 54984 et seq.) (the “Act”) authorizes the City to fix a water standby charge on land within the City that derive benefit from the availability of facilities to provide water service, even if that land does not actually use the water service.

D. In 1992 and 1993, the City Council conducted proceedings pursuant to the Act to fix a standby charge (the “Standby Charge”) to fund for the construction and reconstruction of water production, transmission, and storage facilities.

E. Since the Standby Charge was first fixed, (i) the City has annually taken action to continue the Standby Charge pursuant to Section 54984.7 of the Act and (ii) the Standby Charge has been collected on each year’s property tax roll.

F. The rate of the Standby Charge has not changed since it was initially levied in Fiscal Year 1992- 1993.

G. Pursuant to Section 5(a) of Article XIII D of the California Constitution, the Standby Charge is 136 July 25, 2023
exempt from the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Paloma Perez-McEvoy, City Attorney’s Office
SUBJECT: Cannabis Delivery Permits
RECOMMENDATION: Direct staff to draft an ordinance amending the California City Municipal Code to amend the Cannabis Delivery permitting process to maximize the ability to issue delivery permits.

BACKGROUND: This item is a follow up to the City Council directive from June 13, 2023 for staff to examine the issue of delivery only permits and how to maximize opportunities for all permits to activate. The City currently issues up to ten (10) delivery-only cannabis permits. Those permits are currently issued to the following cannabis businesses. Currently, the Municipal Code provides that “[t]he maximum number of each type of cannabis dispensary that shall be permitted to operate in the City at any one (1) given time will be a maximum of ten (10) delivery only dispensaries with no retail storefront.” CCMC § 5-6.401(a). The Municipal Code further provides that “Section 5-6.401 is only intended to create a maximum number of cannabis dispensaries that may be issued to permits to operate in the City under each category. Nothing in Chapter [Five of the Municipal Code] creates a mandate that the City Council must issue any or all of the cannabis dispensary permits potentially available.”
Cannabis delivery operations have the ability to make deliveries outside of the City limits, thereby creating additional revenue-generating opportunities for the City. The City may maximize these opportunities by amending the Municipal Code to create an annual review process, by which the City Council receives an annual report that includes how many active delivery-only permits are currently operating within the City, if there are any runners-up applicants that were not chosen as a part of the initial selection process. Upon review of the annual report, the City Council may direct staff to schedule a hearing to issue a delivery only permit to any runners-up, or to reopen the application process for the City Council to consider the issuance of delivery only permits for a maximum of ten (10) delivery only permits.

ATTACHMENTS: None.

FISCAL IMPACT: Potential increased revenue (in the form of fees, taxes, and fines) to the City.

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION: This item is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).

Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines states that an activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing 140 July 25, 2023
CB 4.
a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA review. There is no possibility that the discussion will result in a physical change in the environment.

SUBJECT: Public Safety Only Parcel Tax—Annual Rate-setting ………………………………………………………………………………………………………

BACKGROUND
On July 31, 2018, the City’s voters approved a Public Safety Only Special Parcel Tax to be levied annually beginning in Fiscal Year 2018-19 and ending in Fiscal Year 2023-24.

The tax is governed by the California City Public Safety Only Special Parcel Tax Ordinance of 2018 (CCMC Sec. 3-2.1.501 et seq.) (the “Ordinance”). It is collected from property owners on the annual property tax bill prepared by the County. Section 3-

2.1.505 of the Ordinance requires that the City Council annually determine the tax against each lot or parcel for the upcoming tax year.

The voter-approved maximum rate of the special parcel tax is 50 cents per day, or $182.50 per lot or parcel for Fiscal Year 2019-20. However, the ordinance requires that this amount be reduced by a mandatory reduction calculated pursuant to a formula set forth in Section 3-2.1.504 of the Ordinance.

For Fiscal Year 2023-24, the mandatory reduction is $36.50 (See attached calculation).

Consequently, the maximum rate for Fiscal Year 2023-24 is $146.00. This is the same amount charged last year.

FISCAL IMPACT
Continued Funding of the Public Safety Measure C Tax. FY23-24 Budgeted amount to PD (18-3112) and FD (19-3112) of approx. $6MM or $3MM each after 50,470 parcels and 20% default rate.

COUNCIL OPTIONS
Council can approve the special parcel tax rate per the calculations, or set a desired special parcel tax rate for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

CITY COUNCIL
July 25, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Inge Elmes, City Manager
SUBJECT: Implementation of state-mandated ministerial permitting process for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
RECOMMENDATION: Direct staff to draft an ordinance amending the California City Municipal Code to implement a ministerial permitting process for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (“EVCS”)
BACKGROUND: As a part of a State Legislative effort to encourage the installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (“EVCS”), Assembly Bills (“AB”) 1236 and 970 require cities and counties to develop and implement an expedited, streamlined permitting process for all EVCS.

AB 1236 requires cities to create a checklist of requirements for EVCS and to approve permit applications through a ministerial approval process. AB 970 requires cities to review complete applications within prescribed time periods. Specifically, cities and counties must make a determination within twenty (20) business days for projects that proposed 1-25 EVCS and within 40 days for projects that propose 26 or more EVCS. In the event that a proposed EVCS project could have a “specific, adverse impact on public health or safety,” state law provides that the City may require the project applicant to apply for a use permit and limit the imposition of conditions of approval that would mitigate the potential impacts to public health and safety.

Amending the Municipal Code to implement the provisions of AB 1236 and 970 permits the City to require project proponents to submit specific information to demonstrate compliance with all municipal, health and safety requirements.

ATTACHMENTS: None.

FISCAL IMPACT: Potential increased revenue (in the form of fees, taxes, and fines) to the City.

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION: This item is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).

Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines states that an activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA review. There is no possibility that the discussion will result in a physical change in the environment.
