Public Works Director Jesberg introduced Joe Ririe, who presented on the state of the streets in Capitola and made recommendations for how to repair and rehabilitate them.

Council Member Bertrand asked about pavement additives; Mr. Ririe replied that initial testing shows that some additives can make pavement stronger, however the materials must be observed for long periods of time to make educated findings on their cost effectiveness, etc.

Council Member Brown asked if the City is already using rubberized pavement; Director Jesberg said that staff has considered it, however the type of pavement is not made locally.

Mayor Storey confirmed that Capitola’s average street index number (“grade”) is in line with other local cities.

Director Jesberg presented a proposed schedule of street repairs for the next five years.

Council Member Brooks confirmed that the roads identified last year are currently in the process of being repaired.

Mayor Storey asked why the low rated streets are not recommended for repair first. Mr. Ririe explained that the recommendation is prioritizing streets be fixed prior to them falling into the next level of disrepair, which ultimately saves money by making less costly repairs first, before more expensive repairs are required. The Mayor asked that the City prepare a list of all streets that are rated less than 25.

Vice Mayor Keiser confirmed that the rehabilitation of Stockton Bridge will not impact pavement; Director Jesberg agreed and said that the rehab money is set aside for flood protection.

Council Member Brooks confirmed that a potential Ad-Hoc committee could explore holding off on a second-home tax measure until the Presidential election in 2024.

Vice Mayor Keiser asked about the timeline of drafting a second-home tax ordinance and about conducting community outreach. She noted that the tax could be linked to affordable housing to garner more support.

Council Member Brown discussed drafting an ordinance now, and the merits of using that draft in two years for the November 2024 election.

There was no public comment.

Council Member Brooks thanked staff for the research on this type of tax; she said she valued the opportunity that a second-home tax could represent, but said she was concerned about the timing of placing the tax on the November 2022 ballot. She expressed support for beginning groundwork regarding a second-home tax for its eventually placement on the November 2024 ballot.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: June 23, 2022
From: City Manager Department
Subject: Receive Update on Pandemic Response and Consider Adopting Proposed Resolution Allowing for the Continuation of Teleconferencing
Recommended Action: 1) Make the determination that all hazards related to the worldwide spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as detailed in Resolution No. 4168 adopted by the City Council on March 12, 2020, still exist and there is a need to continue action; and 2) Adopt the proposed resolution authorizing the City Council (along with the Planning Commission and all advisory bodies) to continue to conduct teleconferencing meetings.

Background: In December 2019, an outbreak of a respiratory illness linked to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified. In March 2020, the State of California, the County of Santa Cruz, and the City of Capitola each declared a state of emergency due to the virus. Also in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic.

State and local health officers issued health orders to stop the spread of COVID-19; in Santa Cruz County this included March, April, and May 2020 Shelter-In-Place orders that were more restrictive than statewide guidance. Since then, the County Health Officer has incorporated all Orders of the State Public Health Officer, which set baseline statewide restrictions on travel and business activities.

Currently (and since February 2022), there are no State required COVID-19 restrictions, other than minimal masking requirements in certain settings. COVID-19 public safety economic restrictions were mostly removed in June 2021 when the state met the criteria to fully reopen the economy and moved beyond the Blueprint for a Safer Economy.

The State released the SMARTER Plan on February 17, 2022, which focuses on Shots, Masks, Ventilation, Tests, Isolation, and Treatment as the keys to prepare for future COVID-19 surges or variants.

As of June 14, 2022, more than 6.3 million people worldwide have died of COVID-19. One million of those deaths have been in the United States. This is likely an undercount of all those that have died from the virus. There have been 535 million cases reported worldwide, though this is an undercount of all those that have been infected with COVID-19. At least 5.2 million children have lost a parent or caretaker due to the virus.

In the United States, more than one million people have died from Covid since the beginning of the pandemic. Per National Public Radio reports, “so many people died from COVID-19, that a disease that didn’t exist three years ago became the third leading cause of death in [America], after heart disease and cancer”. More than 85 million COVID-19 cases have been reported in the U.S. On May 5, 2022, The World Health Organization said that “nearly 15 million more people died during the pandemic than would have in normal times”.

According to reports from NBC News, “two years into the pandemic, the number of children who have lost a parent or other in-home caregiver to Covid across the United States is estimated to exceed 200,000.”
25 Item 7 E.

Discussion: In California 91,107 deaths due to COVID-19 have been reported since the beginning of the pandemic. According to data from June 14, 2022, the average new COVID-19 case count per 100k was 41.1 (on May 31 the average was 33.1). There is currently a daily average of 11 deaths a day, up from 8 two-weeks ago. In California, at least 1 in 4 residents have been infected with COVID-19.

Surge
The New York Times reported on May 26 that “the United States is averaging about 110,000 new cases each day, a roughly 30 percent increase over the last two weeks…Daily case reports are four times as high as they were in April, but still a fraction of the numbers seen in January when the initial Omicron surge was at its worst”.

Boosters
On March 29, 2022, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) announced a recommendation that certain individuals (outlined below) receive an additional mRNA booster (a Moderna or Pfizer shot). Those recommended for an additional booster are:
1) Immunocompromised individuals
2) People over the age of 50 who received an initial booster dose at least 4 months ago 3) Adults who received a primary vaccine and booster dose of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 vaccine at least 4 months ago
CDC - Covid Community Levels
According to the Center of Disease Control (CDC) guidelines, thirteen counties in California moved into “high” levels of COVID and are recommended to require masking in indoor public spaces. Mask mandates however are under the jurisdiction of the state or County Health Officers and not the CDC. As of June 14, the thirteen counties with “high” levels of COVID are:

1. Mendocino

2. Lake

3. Napa

4. Yolo

5. Solano

6. Sutter

7. Sacramento

8. Placer

9. Yuba

10. Amador

11. San Joaquin

12. Contra Costa

13. Alameda
According to the CDC community level check, Santa Cruz County has a “medium” community level of COVID-19. Neighboring counties of San Mateo, Santa Clara, San Benito, and Monterey are also ranked at the “medium” community level.

California Statewide Mask Guidelines
Masks are required in:
 Healthcare settings
 Emergency shelters
 Jails and prisons
 Homeless shelters
 Long-term care
Masks are strongly recommended in:
 Public transit, stations, terminals, and
airports
 Indoor public settings
 K-12 schools
 Childcare settings
The U.S. Government is giving out free N95 masks to those that need them. Each person is eligible for three masks, and masks will be available at community health centers, pharmacies, and other stores. Locally, Walgreens and CVS are currently distribution points. 26 Item 7 E.

At-home tests are now more readily available at many drug stores. Four free rapid antigen athome tests are also available for all residents, provided by the federal government. Shipments are limited per household, and you can sign up for your free delivery through the United States Postal Service with this link: https://special.usps.com/testkits. Tests are generally delivered within a week-and-a-half of ordering.

Local Case Numbers and Statistics in Santa Cruz County
On June 1, the active case count was 1,267; according to data from June 16 the active case count in Santa Cruz County is 1,733. The average case count per 100k is 44.5, slightly higher than the statewide average.

In our County the total death count due to COVID-19 is 264.

City Hall Operations
City Hall has been open to the public since June 2020 in one configuration or another, dependent upon applicable health guidance and local COVID-19 case levels. Staff has returned to the COVID-default setup, with the lobby open to one member of the public at a time.

Virtual/Teleconferencing Meetings & In-Person Meetings
The Governor signed Assembly Bill 361 on September 16, 2021. The Bill allows cities to continue virtual meetings (much as Capitola City Council Meetings function now) as long as the state is under a proclaimed state of emergency; through 2024 when the bill will sunset. The Bill requires legislative bodies to comply with the requirements set forth in Government Code section 54953(e)(2) to ensure the public can safely participate and observe local government meetings.

One of the requirements is for Council to adopt findings every thirty days.

Attached is a resolution that makes the following findings:
1) Find that current conditions authorize teleconference public meetings, based on the Governor’s state of emergency regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic 2) Authorize legislative bodies to conduct teleconference meetings, allowing Capitola City Council, Planning Commission, and other advisory bodies to continue to meet using Zoom.

During the June 9 meeting, Council directed staff to prepare for in-person meetings (with hybrid virtual options for the public) beginning on August 25. Details on how to attend that meeting, both in-person and virtually, will be included on the meeting agenda published Friday, August 19. Staff will also provide information regarding the return of in-person meeting attendance on social media and the city website.

Fiscal Impact: Fiscal impacts are continually reviewed by Staff as business restrictions and consumer behaviors change in our community. In addition, the City Council has set aside $600,000 to help ensure the City has available resources should the pandemic result in further unforeseen impacts, which remains in the approved FY 2021/22 Budget.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: June 23, 2022
From: Finance Department
Subject: Consider a resolution for the Levy of Capitola Village and Wharf Business Improvement Area Assessments for Fiscal
Year 2022-23
Recommended Action: Conduct the noticed public hearing and adopt the proposed resolution levying the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Capitola Village and Wharf Business Improvement Area (CVWBIA) Assessments and accepting the CVWBIA Annual Plan and budget.

Background: On June 23, 2005, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 889 adding Chapter

5.10 to the Capitola Municipal Code establishing the Capitola Village and Wharf Business Improvement Area (CVWBIA). The CVWBIA assessments are renewed annually and fund various programs that benefit businesses within the CVWBIA district boundaries.

Discussion: On June 9, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4268, Resolution of Intention to Levy Business Improvement Assessments for Fiscal Year 2022-23, which set a public hearing for June 23, 2022, in accordance with state law and Chapter 5.10 of the Capitola Municipal Code. Notice of this public hearing was published in the Santa Cruz Sentinel newspaper on Wednesday, June 16, 2022, and was mailed to affected business owners by the CVWBIA.

The CVWBIA is a business-based, self-imposed assessment district in which the assessments are paid by business owners within the district boundary for improvements and activities that support and revitalize businesses as well as attract visitors. The assessment amount for each business is based on the business type and may be a flat fee or increasing fee based on the number of full-time equivalent employees. Consistent with the FY 2021-22 adopted assessments, the proposed FY 2022-23 assessments are reduced by 25% from pre-pandemic levels and the assessments for the hotel/motel/inn category are proposed to be reduced by 50%.

The billing for City services identified in the CVWBIA plan was based on past agreements. The current billing rates are $3,000 for Public Works and $4,200 for accounting services. The annual report and budget are included as Exhibit A.

During the public comment portion of this hearing, written and oral protests may be made pertaining to the proposed levy of assessments, the amount of the proposed assessments, and the proposed improvements and activities in accordance with California Streets & Highways Code §36524 and §36525.

In November 2018, voters approved Measure J, which increased the transient occupancy tax (TOT) from 10 percent to 12 percent. It restricted 20 percent of the TOT increase to be used for local business groups’ marketing and community improvements. In February 2019, City Council directed that restricted TOT funding be split evenly between the Capitola-Soquel Chamber of Commerce and the CVWBIA. City Council also requested that a minimum of 25 percent of restricted TOT revenues be allocated toward community improvements, which may include special events.

The proposed CVWBIA budget includes $32,000 of TOT revenues for FY 2022-23. $20,000 (62%) of the proposed TOT budget is for village enhancement and events, $7,000 (22%) is for advertising and the remaining $5,000 (16%) is for website management. 30 Item 8 A.

Staff recommends that Council adopt the proposed resolution confirming the Fiscal Year 2022- 23 CVWBIA Assessments and adopting the Annual Plan and Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget, as received by the Council on June 9, 2022, unless it receives oral and written protests from the owners of businesses that will pay 50 percent or more of the assessments as mandated by state law.

Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact to the City. All administrative costs for billing and collections incurred by the City are reimbursed by the CVWBIA.

Mission Statement
The objective of the CVWBIA is to provide a unified organization to promote, stimulate and improve the business conditions in the designated area, primarily during the shoulder season, September – May. The belief is that if the lodging properties and short-term rentals are full, the rest of the businesses in the area will benefit.

This can be achieved by the CVWBIA continuing to fund activities and projects that will:
 Improve access to information regarding the businesses and services provided by the Village and Wharf BIA to likely visitors to the area via newsletters, the internet and print advertising.  Provide fun, family-oriented events throughout the year emphasizing the attributes of the Village and Wharf, by working in partnership with the Capitola/Soquel Chamber of Commerce.
 Improve and enhance the appearance of the Village and Wharf in partnership with the City of Capitola.
 Enhance the ability of the CVWBIA to serve as a liaison between the business community and local governments.

In FY 2019-20 CVWBIA began to receive a portion of the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) collected by the city and made commitments based on projected TOT revenues. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and required closure of short-term transient rentals, TOT revenue projections were not met. Recovery has moved swiftly but not all businesses have returned to prepandemic levels. FY 2022-23 assessments will be reduced by 25%. Hotel/lodging dues will be reduced by 50%.

As the CVWBIA begins its seventeenth year we will continue and expand successful programs from prior years, which include the following:

1. Website – In 2021-22 the CVWBIA marketing team created a new, up to date, mobile compatible, website (www.capitolavillage.com) for ease of use and connectivity to BIA member’s businesses, lodging and short-term rentals. Each member has a unique page with links to their individual websites. There is a schedule of events and other helpful features. Visitors can sign up on the site to receive newsletters and enter contests to win gift certificates from member businesses. This process continues in 2022-23 as technology changes quickly.

We will also take advantage of opportunities to direct visitors to our website through QR Codes for special events, parking and other visitor information.

2. Social Media – The Communications Manager creates a monthly newsletter, manages all our social media channels, maintains our website, and tracks performance. Our email newsletters are sent to over 7,000 subscribers each month. Our Facebook page has over 15,870 fans with our top 5 cities being: San Jose, Santa Cruz, Modesto, Sacramento, and Capitola. Our Instagram is growing the fastest with over 11,390 active followers with an average of 500 profile 33 Item 8 A.
visits to our account every week. Our newest channel, Twitter, currently has almost 900 followers and continues to grow each month. The purpose of the Communication Manager is to collectively promote the Capitola Village businesses and to be a resource for ongoing growth. Our Village Ambassador continues to develop relationships with our members to facilitate sharing their promotions and announcements with our social media contacts.

3. Print Advertising – While placing an emphasis on our social media development, there is still a need for carefully placed advertising in quality visitor publications. We are constantly monitoring these publications for the ones with the most effective online presence. The CVWBIA will continue to co-op with Visit Santa Cruz to promote Capitola Village and Wharf in their visitor magazine, their map and on their website.

4. Village Brochures – We print 25,000 brochures and distribute them throughout Santa Cruz County. We contract with Certified Display Service. This company has exclusive rights to lobby racks in the hotels, resorts, and visitor centers in the county. These brochures are also available in various places of business throughout the Village and Wharf. We feel it is important to make visitors to other areas in the county aware of Capitola Village and Wharf through these brochures. Additionally, there are distribution locations at the Gilroy Visitors Center on Hwy 101, San Jose Airport, and the Monterey Airport.

5. Branding and Logo Development – We continue to update logos, colors, and other marketing material to reflect current trends.

6. Sip and Stroll & Cookie Walk – The events are self-supporting, and the proceeds were donated to various local non-profits. These events benefit all the businesses in the village. We hope to be able to hold up to three Sip and Stroll events in November, February and May. The Cookie Walk is family oriented and takes place the weekend after Thanksgiving.

7. Winter Festivities – Window decorating contest, lighted wreaths and palm trees are components of the winter festivities with other events in the planning stages.

8. Easter Egg Hunt – This is a free event for children that takes place over one week of spring break.

9. Public Works and Village Enhancement – The CVWBIA contributes annually to the City of Capitola Public Works Department. Our contribution is used to help maintain the Village and Wharf. Sidewalk cleaning, banners and new parking signage are part of this year’s Village Enhancement.

10. Chamber of Commerce – The CVWBIA contributes annually to support community interest projects and events in the Village.

Business Closing. A business notifying the CVWBIA before the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year (September 30th) that it will close before December 31st will be exempt from paying the assessment for that fiscal year. If the business does not close before December 31st, it must pay the year's assessment in full.

Delinquencies. CVWBIA has a clear policy relative to delinquent assessments. Businesses that have not paid their assessment by October 31, 2022, will be removed from the CVWBIA website and brochure.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: June 23, 2022
From: Community Development
Subject: Coastal Commission Recommended Modifications to Capitola’s Outdoor Dining Ordinance
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution accepting the California Coastal Commission modifications to repeal and replace Capitola Municipal code section 17.96.170 Outdoor Dining in Public Right of Way and amend Municipal Code Sections 17.44.150(B)(3) and 17.120.030.

Background: In June of 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing social distancing orders, the City issued temporary permits to local restaurants to provide outdoor dining. The existing COVID-19 outdoor dining temporary use permits are valid until two months following final certification of the outdoor dining ordinance.

On April 22, 2021, City Council directed staff to develop a program for permanent outdoor dining. Over the course of the next several months, the City Council held two additional hearings regarding a permanent outdoor dining program, received results from two public surveys, and provided direction on key program elements to staff.

On October 7 and November 4, 2021, the Planning Commission reviewed the draft outdoor dining ordinance and provided a positive recommendation to City Council.

On December 1, 2021, City Council approved the first reading of the draft ordinance to repeal and replace Municipal Code Sections 17.96.170 and amend Municipal Code Section 17.120.030. The ordinance was adopted on December 9, 2021.

Prior to taking effect in the Coastal Zone, the outdoor dining ordinance (Ordinance 1050) must be certified by the California Coastal Commission. Capitola Ordinance 1050 was submitted to Coastal Commission staff in January of 2022. Since then, City staff has been working with Coastal Commission staff on two outstanding items: the dedication of fees to coastal resources and opportunity for Coastal Commission to review the program in three years. On June 10, 2022, the Coastal Commission conditionally certified the Outdoor Dining ordinance subject to required modifications.

Discussion: At this hearing, City Council can decide whether to accept the Coastal Commission modifications or not.

The first modification made by the Coastal Commission is to require all Coastal Development Permits (CDPs) for outdoor dining to be recertified by City Council after the initial three years, and then every five years thereafter. Initially, Coastal staff recommended expiring the CDPs, which would have required all businesses to reapply for a new CDP after the first three years. Coastal staff indicated their interest was to require a follow-up public review process in which permits could be modified or revoked if there is an impact to coastal resources. Staff from both organizations agreed that creating a recertification process would be sufficient to ensure a public review process at regular intervals, which will ensure the program complies. When recertification is due, staff will bring an update to the City Council on all existing active permits and an analysis on compliance. At that time, the City Council will have the option to recertify, amend, or revoke any CDP or the entire program.

The second topic of decision between the Coastal Commission and staff was regarding the dedication of lease revenue for coastal access. The Coastal Commission has agreed to remove the requirement that 50% of revenues from the outdoor dining permits be dedicated for coastal access and maintenance. The purpose of the original dedication of 50% of the funds was to mitigate impacts to coastal resources.

Capitola staff provided Coastal staff with a list of coastal enhancements and mitigation measures already included in the ordinance, as well as those that are currently practiced/planned for in Capitola (Attachment 43 Item 8 B.
3). After reviewing all the measures in place and planned, the Coastal Commission removed the requirement for dedication of any revenue for coastal access.

Next Steps: If the City Council adopts the Coastal Commission changes, the following next steps will take place:

June 27 Launch lottery for outdoor dining program (45 days) July 13-15 Coastal Commission concurrence meeting – final approval of ordinance July 21 Planning Commission review of CDP for prototype street dining deck design August 15 Lottery
September 10/11 Art and Wine Festival
September 13-15 Temporary outdoor dining program expires (two months from Coastal Commission concurrence meeting)
September 19 Issue CDPs for Outdoor Dining
Staff intentionally planned for the Coastal Development Permits to be issued in mid-September. This will allow all businesses to complete three full summer seasons prior to City Council review of recertification.

Also, it will allow adequate time for all structures from the temporary outdoor dining program to be removed prior to installation of the dining decks.

Fiscal Impact: An annual fee of $3,400 per parking space will be charged to the businesses that participate in this program. This fee covers the average revenue generated annually by a single parking space in the Village. City revenue will be dependent on how many businesses participate in the program, and how many spaces each business applies for.

Capitola’s Outdoor Dining Program
Proposed Coastal Access Enhancements and Mitigation
Overall the City believes that the proposed outdoor dining program enhances coastal access because:
• City has an overabundance of public parking, having added 240 spaces in 2013. • 340 days a year there is available public parking 24/7. • The outdoor dining program offer additional opportunities for visitors to experience the coast and Capitola Village.
• The program will add 50 new bike parking spaces, supporting multimodal access to the coast and the future regional bikeshare program.
• During the few days of peak visitation, the dining decks will help relieve stress and prevent degradation on coastal resources.
• The prototype street dining deck design will be sited and designed to protect views to and along the ocean and are compatible with the character of the Village • The outdoor dining provides an equitable alternative of coastal access for mobility challenged visitors.
• Capitola is a renown visitor-friendly coastal village due to City leadership’s ongoing investment into coastal access and recreation
One major investment over the years has been in public parking. There are currently 740 parking spaces in the village available to the public. In 2013, the City of Capitola developed the Lower Pac Cove parking lot adding 220 new parking spaces for the Village at a cost of $3.5 million.

The Lower and Upper Pac Cove parking lots, which combined have 455 parking spaces, are rarely full. The highest demand for parking occurs on the 15 weekends between Memorial Day to Labor Day from 11 am and 4 pm. The parking lots never hit full capacity mid-week. Over the course of a year, there is a surplus of public parking over 98% of the time. The city only hits full capacity for a few hours on approximately 25 days of the year. For the other 8,630 hours of the year there is available parking and the dining decks offer enhanced public access over the status quo.

One of the basic goals of the Coastal Act (Section 30001.5) is to protect, maintain, and where feasible, enhance and resource the overall quality of the coastal zone environment and its natural and manmade resources. A second goal is to maximize public access to and along the coast consistent with sound resource conservation principles. The proposed outdoor dining program aligns with these goals as it adds the variety of experiences available to visitors. The Capitola beach is approximately six acres in size. On the busiest days, when most parking spaces in the village are utilized, the beach is often overcrowded resulting in a negative visitor experience and public safety concerns. Providing alternatives for visitors, such as having lunch on a street dining deck, assists in relieving stress on our limited coastal resources.

Outdoor dining which replaces public parking spaces with the opportunity to dine, enhances public beach access as many of the spaces have views of the Monterey Bay. Converting parking spaces in the village from automobile parking to street dining increases prime coastal access.

Each parking space can accommodate one car. A member of the public parks their car, pays the hourly fee for the space, and has sole access of that space for up to three hours. On the contemplated street dining decks, the same space can accommodate up to three dining tables comfortably. The street dining is open to the public to sit and dine while taking in views of the coast and Capitola’s seaside charm. Typical turnover time for dining is close to one hour. Up to 60 Item 8 B.

SF #4875-1064-5016 v2
nine parties could enjoy the same space in the three-hour time. In either scenario, the public has to pay to utilize the public space.

Capitola’s outdoor dining program will enhance multimodal transportation infrastructure. The program requires two bicycle parking spaces for each automobile parking space converted to outdoor dining. This requirement creates prime coastal access for bicycle parking which is a greener alternative to the automobile and benefits community health and the environment. This mitigation measure is consistent with the City’s certified LCP/IP which specifically states, “When parking is reduced, the city shall evaluate alternative opportunities for public coastal access as needed to ensure existing levels of public access are maintained, or if possible enhanced,” and identifies bicycle parking as a suggested mitigation measure.

The City’s commitment to multimodal access does not end there. Over the past two years, the City has been dedicated toward the creation of a regional bike share program that will extend from Watsonville to Santa Cruz, provide additional transportation alternatives to the car on a regional basis. The regional bike share system is planned to be in effect by September 2022, in preparation for the start of the UCSC school year. Cyclists will have more opportunities to park bicycle within the Village due to the required onsite bicycle parking within the outdoor dining program.

Coastal Act Section 30251 requires the scenic and visual qualities of coastal areas be considered and protected as a resource of public importance. It further specifies that permitted development shall be sited and designed to protect views to and along the ocean and scenic coastal areas, to minimize the alteration of natural landforms, to be visually compatible with the character of surrounding areas, and where feasible, to restore and enhance visual quality in visually degraded areas. New development in highly scenic areas are required to be subordinate to the character of the coastal setting. The outdoor dining program includes a City sponsored prototype design which will enhance the general appearance of Capitola. Policy III-7 of Capitola’s LCP ensures the special scale and character of Capitola Village be maintained within development proposals. The policy puts emphasis on design within the street to include: 1) landscaping; 2) street, path, and public space lighting; 3) paving patterns and paving materials; 4) traffic and parking furniture including directional signs, directional islands, bicycle racks; and 5) signage. The prototype design will include planters, lighting, decking materials, bicycle parking, and limited signs. The overall aesthetic and character of the village will be enhanced with the activated space and the design will be subordinate to the character of the village while increasing opportunities for the public to take in the views. The protype design includes planters for railing, but prohibits enclosed roof structures to ensure views are protected.

Capitola’s Local Coastal Program supports projects that provide facilities close to the beach for persons who find use of the beach itself difficult. The street dining decks provide an equitable option for all to take in the scenic and visual qualities of the coastal area with the comforts of a table and chairs. The outdoor dining is required to be ADA accessible and have appropriate table heights to accommodate a visitor in a wheelchair. The outdoor dining programs ensures that safe passageways will be clear and accessible for the public.

Capitola also provides a free alternative for visitors to sit down and take in the views. Visitors can choose from the 61 city benches located throughout the village. The Esplanade is lined with City benches that look out onto the Monterey Bay. During the pandemic, the benches were utilized in the temporary outdoor dining areas as safety barriers since they are extremely heave made of concrete and wood. Understanding the value of this community asset, the City Council 61 Item 8 B.

SF #4875-1064-5016 v2
recently directed staff to require all benches be removed from the temporary outdoor dining and returned to the original locations throughout the village by June 15, 2022.

Lastly, the City is dedicated to coastal access and recreation. Capitola is home to a robust Junior Guards program which serve about 1,000 children each summer and employs 25 lifeguards. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the City has lifeguard on duty seven days a week and on weekends provides a free beach shuttle services from Lower Pac Cove parking lot to Capitola Village ($65,000). The City just completed the rebuilding the flume and jetty ($460,000). The City is currently in the planning and funding stages for rebuilding the Capitola Wharf ($7 million). The city dedicates staff on weekends throughout the year to trash removal in the Village and maintains public restrooms in Esplanade Park and on the wharf. 62 Item 8 B.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: June 23, 2022
From: City Manager Department
Subject: Potential Second Home Tax Follow Up
Recommended Action: Provide direction to staff to either 1) Continue preparing the materials necessary to place a second home tax on the November 2022 ballot; OR 2) Do not proceed with placing a second home tax on the November 2022 ballot.

Background: At the May 26 City Council meeting, City Council received a presentation regarding polling results for a potential second home tax. Based on those results, Council directed staff to research several items and return to Council for further discussion regarding the potential tax. At the June 9 Council meeting, Council provided the following direction to staff:

Motion: 1) Direct City Attorney to begin drafting a vacant home tax ordinance incorporating: the $4,000/$2,000 margin, a 90 day threshold, and the staff suggested exemptions; 2) Council to determine, as allowed by the Brown Act, the feasibility of placing such a tax measure on the November 2022 ballot by assessing community support, potentially creating an outreach plan, and analyzing recommended uses of such a tax 3) Commit to directing staff to work to place such a measure on the ballot, or not, at the June 23 City Council meeting.

Result: Passed (5:0)
Discussion: The purpose of this item is for Council to either decide not to proceed with a second home tax for the November ballot, or direct staff to continue working on the measure. The deadline to place on item on the November ballot is August 12.

Based on the polling results, and the fact that the item would be a special tax requiring two thirds voter approval, it will be challenging for a second home tax to pass in November. However, because the concept of a second home tax is new, it is possible (but far from certain), that voter opinions may be less fixed than with more familiar traditional tax measures.

Given the situation, staff suggests the only potential path to a successful measure is if it was supported by a robust community campaign. State law precludes City staff or resources from being used to campaign for a ballot measure. State law does allow the City to produce informational documents that include factual information about a measure, as long as it does not urge voters to vote in a particular way.

The City has mailed such informational material to City residents in prior elections.

As was discussed during the June 9 meeting, turnout for this November’s election will likely be lower than the turnout for the 2024 election. In general, tax measures perform better in higher turnout elections.

Since this would be a special tax, the City may designate the uses of the tax revenues in the measure itself (as opposed to a general tax, where all revenues must be placed in the general fund). Should Council decide to proceed with a second home tax at this time, Staff would need direction on how Council would like to designate the revenues. Staff recommends that Council designate a portion of the revenues to high priority community needs and a portion of the revenues towards the General Fund. If Council decides to move a measure forward, staff will need that direction either at the June 23 meeting or on July

28. Alternatively, a special meeting could be scheduled to specifically discuss this topic.

At the June 23 meeting, Council members will be able to report their individual assessment of community support for this potential measure.

Lastly, should the Council decide to direct staff to continue working on placing this tax on the November 2022 ballot, staff seeks direction on how to refer to it. Based on feedback from another jurisdiction that 63 Item 8 C.
polled this concept, voter support for a “empty home tax” was slightly higher than support for a “vacant home tax,” but regardless of the name, support was in the 50-55% range. Internally, staff for jurisdiction felt that both terms caused voter confusion.

Based on feedback from that jurisdiction, and input from Capitola’s polling professional, our City staff polled the item as a “second home tax.” The City’s polling also suggested potential support in the 50- 55% range and suggested potential confusion about the term “second home tax.” The City of Oakland’s tax was approved by their voters as a “vacant home tax.” The proposed measure in Santa Cruz is referred to as an “empty home tax.” Recently, the City of Berkeley decided to move forward with a similar tax, referring to it interchangeably as an “empty home tax, “vacant home tax,” and “vacancy tax.”
At this point there does not seem to be a single term used to refer to these taxes. Should Council decide to move forward, staff suggests the tax be named either a “second home tax” or “unoccupied house tax,” however other options are certainly possible.

Fiscal Impact: The cost to place this measure on the ballot is estimated to be less than $20,000 between ballot costs and staff time. Determining the potential revenue from a second home tax is challenging because it is unknown how many homes would be subject to the tax, and who would qualify for exemptions. However, based on Census data regarding the number of second homes in Capitola, staff estimates the tax could raise between $850,000 and $1.5 million annually.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: June 23, 2022
From: Finance Department
Subject: Consider the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Budget and Capital Improvement Program for the City of Capitola
Recommended Action: Approve the proposed resolution adopting the Fiscal Year 2022-23 City Budget and Capital Improvement Program.

Background: The Proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 Budget and Planned FY 2023-24 Budget was presented to the City Council at the May 4, 2022, special meeting at which time the Council received input from the Finance Advisory Committee (FAC). At the meeting, the City Council requested additional information which was presented at a second special meeting on May 19, 2022, at which time the City Council reviewed updates to the proposed budget and additional recommendations from the FAC and heard public comments.

At the May 19 special meeting, Council directed staff to prepare a resolution adopting the budget after discussing the following:

Discussion: The General Fund is projected to end Fiscal Year 2021-22 with an estimated $4.4 million fund balance which includes $385,000 set aside as a resiliency account. Pursuant to City Council direction and the recommendation of the FAC to maintain the general fund balance of $1.7 million, the Proposed Budget allocated $3.5 million of existing general fund resources towards the Capital Improvement Program and FY 2022-23 City Council Goals and Priorities.

Consistent with City Council direction, the budget includes $61,000 of Restricted TOT revenue programmed to Early Childhood and Youth Programs (ECYP) for the Community Grant Program and $51,000 of Restricted ECYP TOT fund balance to the Recreation Division as follows:
 Youth program scholarship fund - $39,000
 Swim lesson equity program - $10,000
 Job skills program - $2,000
Additional revisions made to the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget since the May 19 special meeting include:
 Increased Sales Tax revenue:
o FY 2021-22 - $100,000 (increasing the estimated general fund balance)  Based on actual receipts
o FY 2022-23 - $65,500
 Consistent with FY 2021-22 revised estimates
 Increased funding for Universal Design Park - $125,000 o City Council direction on May 19
 Decreased General Fund HAP Shelter costs - $1,525
o Moved to Successor Agency special revenue fund – total funding $31,525  Decreased Workers Compensation Insurance premium: $8,000 o Based on information from Monterey Bay Area Self Insurance Authority (MBASIA) 65 Item 8 D.
 Increased Liability Insurance premium: $46,500
o Based on information from MBASIA
The net impact of the proposed budget revisions is a positive $3,525. The FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget remains imbalanced by design due to the allocation of $3.5 million of available general fund resources to City Council goals and priorities. In addition, the five-year budget forecast remains structurally balanced at the sunset of the Measure F District Sales Tax in December 2027.

The resolution necessary to adopt the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget includes the above appropriations and adjustments (Exhibit A), a General Fund overview (Exhibit B), and an estimation of FY 2022-23 fund balances (Exhibit C). In addition, the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget is available on the City’s website.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: June 23, 2022
From: Finance Department
Subject: FY 22-23 Fee Schedule
Recommended Action: Conduct the noticed public hearing on the proposed City Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2022/2023 and adopt the proposed resolution amending the current fee schedule.

Background: The annual budget process includes a review of the City’s Fee Schedule. Capitola’s current fee schedule is based on the comprehensive fee study adopted on November 24, 2015.

A consultant recommended the City review the fee schedule on a yearly basis and implement a Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment. The fee schedule has been reviewed annually every year since 2015.

State law requires the City conduct a public hearing where testimony can be taken before any fees are added or existing fees are altered.

Discussion: Best management practices recommend conducting a comprehensive fee study every five years. In January 2020, staff began the process of performing a comprehensive fee study with City Council review tentatively planned for late April, to allow for approved fee adjustments beginning in July 2020. Due to the pandemic, these plans were put on hold; however, staff now anticipates completing a comprehensive fee study during FY 2022-23.

This year, the CPI adjustment applied to the fee schedule is 3.21%.

Animal Service Fees: Animal service fees are set by Santa Cruz County Animal Services Agency (ASA), of which the City is a member jurisdiction. This resolution adopts the ASA animal service fee schedule for 2022-23.

Fiscal Impact: The Fiscal Year 2022/23 Budget will incorporate the amended fees; the amended Fee Schedule will go into effect July 1, 2022.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: June 23, 2022
From: City Manager Department
Subject: Consider the 2022 – 2023 Salary Schedule
Recommended Action: Approve the proposed resolution authorizing the Fiscal Year 2022- 2023 annual salary adjustment, consistent with existing employee labor agreements.

Background: City Council adoption of the salary resolution establishes the legal current salary schedule for each position class of permanent employees. The City Council should adopt the salary resolution annually, upon review and recommendation of the City Manager. California Public Employee’s Retirement Law and Section 570.5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 2 requires the “City Pay Rates and Ranges” be approved by the City Council in an open meeting and be publicly posted, which is done annually on the City’s website.

Additionally, as required by California Government Code Section 54953(c)(3), an oral report must be made before the City Council takes final action on the salaries, salary schedules, and fringe benefit compensation for the City’s management employees, which includes department heads and the City Manager.

The City of Capitola and its bargaining units have existing labor agreements that run through June 30, 2023, or June 30, 2024. Cost of living salary adjustments (COLAs) are included in the agreements.

Discussion: The attached salary schedule will go into effect the first full pay period after July 1, 2022. The salary changes take effect on July 10, 2022 and will be effective until June 30, 2023.

During the employee Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) negotiation process, each group agreed to COLAs and health care contribution increases. The following table shows the increases for groups and positions:

Group COLA % Contribution increase
Employee Only
Contribution increase
Employee +1
Contribution increase
Employee +2
CPOA:

Officers and Sgts. 3% $50/month $50/month $50/month
CSOs 1% $50/month $50/month $50/month
Records Manager 2.25% $50/month $50/month $50/month
ACE 3% $25/month $50/month $75/month
Mid-Management 3% n/a n/a n/a
Confidential 3% n/a n/a n/a
Captain 3% n/a n/a n/a
Management 2.75% $25/month $25/month $25/month
89 Item 8 F.

Fiscal Impact: The anticipated fiscal impact of the salary adjustment in FY 2022-23 is $200,000 which is included as part of the recently adopted Budget.

Attachments:

1. Resolution Approving the 2022-23 salary schedule.
