Agenda Report
Meeting: December 8, 2022
From: City Manager’s Department
Subject: City Council Reorganization for 2023
Recommended Action: City Council Members nominate and elect a new Mayor and Vice-Mayor.

Background: The state Government Code calls for the City Council to select a mayor and mayor pro tempore (vice-mayor) following the general municipal election and defines those roles: “The mayor shall preside at the meetings of the council. If he or she is absent or unable to act, the mayor pro tempore shall serve until the mayor returns or is able to act. The mayor pro tempore has all of the powers and duties of the mayor” (Government Code Section 36802).

The newly seated City Council should select a new mayor and vice-mayor by motion. The newly selected mayor will preside over the remainder of the meeting.

Fiscal Impact: None.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: December 8, 2022
From: Police Department
Subject: Purchase of a Radio System Upgrade and Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Budget Amendment
Recommended Action: Authorize the purchase of new radio system infrastructure for the Police Department and amend the FY 2022-23 Budget by appropriating $74,000 of the remaining balance from the Community Power Resiliency Grant.

Background: In March of 2021, the City was awarded $300,000 from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Community Power Resiliency program. On November 22, 2022, the City Council authorized a contract in the amount of $226,000 for the replacement of the backup generator for City Hall and the Police Department. The remaining balance of $74,000 can be spent on eligible expenditures such as redundant emergency communications: e.g., battery-powered radios; portable battery-powered and rechargeable radio repeaters, and transmission equipment.

In 1996 California legislation (AB 3229) created the Citizens Options for Public Safety (COPS) program, which allocated funds annually for front line local government law enforcement. These funds are distributed through the State Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF). The Police Department was granted $100,000 in FY 2022-2023 and has a remaining fund balance of $140,000 from FY 2021-2022. Funds from this grant are to be exclusively used for supporting front-line law enforcement and cannot be used to supplant existing funding or diverted to an entity’s general fund. Funds from this program can be used for salaries, services, supplies, equipment, and administrative overheard.

Staff is seeking approval to use the remaining $74,000 balance from the Community Power Resiliency project to upgrade our existing radio infrastructure. The total estimated cost to upgrade the radio system infrastructure is $84,000 and the additional $10,000 of funding can be provided by the City’s SLESF awarded funds.

Discussion: The Police Department operates a very high frequency (VHF) public safety analog conventional radio system providing communications for first responders in the county. The current system operates a single repeated channel with no backup channel. This “Blue” channel is the Police Department’s primary radio channel. The goal of this project is to upgrade our existing radio system by adding a second repeated channel (Yellow) and to extend coverage to fill gaps in the coverage. The proposed system upgrade meets this requirement and allows for two repeatable channels for our first responders.

The FY 2022-23 budget planned for the City to establish a Lifeguard Program, and no longer contract with the City of Santa Cruz for lifeguard services. The City is in process of developing this lifeguard program and is applying to become a certified United States Lifesaving Association (USLA) Lifeguard Agency. To become a USLA-certified agency, minimum equipment standards need to be met, which include communication radios that provide lifeguard-to-lifeguard communication and immediate activation of local emergency medical services. Since the City had contracted with Santa Cruz for the past 10 years, this equipment needs to be procured by the City. The proposed system upgrade will meet the requirements to be certified by USLA.

To expand our channel capacity, a new transmission/receiver will be installed at the Capitola Library as the new primary “Blue” channel. The other radio and transmission equipment will remain at their current locations and will serve as a backup “Yellow” channel for the Police Department and a new primary 22 Item 7 A.
channel for Capitola Lifeguard Services. A new receiver will be installed at the library site and additional antennas will be installed at the Lifeguard Towers in the Village. The library site will provide much-needed coverage on the east side of the City where radio reception/transmission is often broken and weak.

The following is the breakdown of estimated costs associated with this project:

Lifeguard Cart/Tower $ 7,000
Receiver $ 11,500
Repeater $ 21,500
Hand-held radios $ 36,000
Labor $ 8,000
Total: $ 84,000
Radio communications are governed by policies and procedures established by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the California Department of Justice (DOJ). The proposed upgrades comply with the upcoming mandate to encrypt radio channels to protect Criminal Justice Information (CJI).

Santa Cruz County Information Services Department (ISD) Radio prepared this quote and has been selected as the vendor to order and install the parts. Santa Cruz County ISD Radio has access to our radio system and is the same vendor that was used in the initial radio system upgrade.

Fiscal Impact: This project will have no impact on the General Fund. Sufficient funds are available from the balance of the FY 2020-21 Community Power Resiliency grant program. Any additional funding needs that are not provided by the Community Power Resiliency will be offset through the approved FY 2022- 23 SLESF Equipment budget.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: December 8, 2022
From: City Manager’s Department
Subject: Resolution Setting the Interest Rate for Tenant’s Security Deposits for 2023
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution setting the interest rate for tenant’s security deposits for 2023 at zero percent (0%).

Background: The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 804 on February 12, 1998, adding Chapter 5.48 to the Municipal Code requiring interest on security deposits for residential rental properties. Resolution No. 2948 set the interest rate for 1998 at 2%, which became effective March 14, 1998.

It was the City Council’s practice to set its interest rate for tenant security deposits consistent with the amount set by the Board of Supervisors of Santa Cruz County. However, starting in 2011 after the County set the rate at an extremely low level, the City Council determined the administrative burden of computing interest rates of around 0.01% were not worth the minor benefit to renters. For example, 0.01% interest on a $3,000 security deposit would total 30 cents a year. Therefore, the City’s interest rate has been set at 0% since January 2011. A history of interest rates since adoption of the implementing Ordinance is included with this report as Attachment 1.

Discussion: Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 5.48.025, “On or before December 31 of each year, the City Council shall set the minimum interest rate (for tenant security deposits) for the next calendar year,” the City Council reviews the interest rate and adopts a Resolution setting the rate for the next year.

The County’s Investment Officer has completed a survey of annual simple interest on passbook savings and on December 6, 2022 will be recommending the County Board of Supervisors set the County’s 2023 interest rate for tenants’ security deposits at 0.01%. In accordance with this action, the Capitola Municipal Code, and past practice staff recommends adoption of an interest rate of 0%.

Upon adoption of the proposed resolution, staff will publish the attached notice in the Santa Cruz Sentinel and share information regarding the interest rate on our City website and social media pages.

Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact to the City related to this item.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: December 8, 2022
From: City Manager Department
Subject: 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 ShelterIn-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 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.

Council will need to adopt resolutions making findings required by AB361 if Hybrid Meetings (with Council Members attending remotely) continue.

Discussion: On Monday, October 17, Governor Newsom announced that the COVID-19 State of Emergency will officially end on February 28, 2023. Operating under AB 361 requires that the state be under a proclaimed state of emergency, meaning that teleconferencing meetings permissible with AB 361 will no longer be so beginning February 2023.

Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2449 (AB 2449) in September, and the Bill goes into effect on January 1, 2023. This Bill amends the Brown Act to provide additional teleconference procedures which would allow Council Members (members of a legislative body) to participate remotely in public meetings, however this Bill is much more restrictive than AB 361. 31 Item 7 D.

For example, under AB 2449, Capitola Council Members could attend a Council meeting remotely if at least a quorum of Council Members are in-person at the Capitola City Council Chambers and Council also follows the following:

1. The Council must provide either a two-way audiovisual platform or two-way telephonic service and a live webcasting of the meeting to allow the public to remotely hear and visually observe the meeting, and remotely address the legislative body. (Zoom would likely fulfill this requirement.)

2. The agenda must identify and include an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in option, internet-based service option, and at the in-person location of the meeting. (Again, Zoom and the Council Chambers would likely fulfill this requirement.)

3. A member of the Council can only participate remotely if:

1. the member notifies the Council at the earliest opportunity possible, including at the start of a regular meeting, of their need to participate remotely for “just cause”; or

2. the member requests that the Council allow them to participate in the meeting remotely due to "emergency circumstances," and the Council approves the request. The Council must request a general description (generally not exceeding 20 words) of the circumstances relating to the member’s need to appear remotely at the given meeting.

4. “Just cause” is defined as (i) a childcare or caregiving need of a child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or domestic partner that requires them to participate remotely; (ii) a contagious illness that prevents a member from attending in person; (iii) a need related to a physical or mental disability as defined by statute; or (iv) travel while on official business of the legislative body or another state or local agency.

5. Members of the Council are prohibited from using AB 2449 to participate in remote meetings for more than three consecutive months or for 20% of the regular meetings in a calendar year.

6. Members of the Council participating remotely must participate using both audio and visual technology (Zoom) and must publicly disclose whether any individual over the age of 18 is present at the remote location.

7. A meeting must be paused when there is any teleconference disruption for the public and no action can be taken if a disruption event prevents the Council from broadcasting the meeting. (This requirement is currently in place for remote or hybrid meetings.)

8. Real-time public comments must be allowed during the meeting.

9. The Council must implement procedures for resolving requests for reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities. (This requirement is currently in place for remote or hybrid meetings.)
Council may only conduct hybrid meetings under the current AB 361 rules until February 28, 2023. At that time, the new rules outlined above will take effect. Alternatively, after February 28, 2023, the Council could revert to the standard Brown Act procedures for teleconferencing, which require the City to post the address from which each teleconferencing member will be appearing on the agenda.

Staff is currently working to implement upgraded technology to allow for a smoother “hybrid” option so that members of the public may attend Council meetings either in-person or remotely. The rules outlined above pertain to members of the Council and their ability to participate remotely, and do not apply to the public.

Fiscal Impact: At Council direction, the City has maintained $385,000 in a resiliency fund to help ensure the City has available resources should the pandemic result in further unforeseen impacts, which remains in the approved FY 2022-23 Budget.

Government Code section 54953(e)(3) to allow Legislative Bodies to continue to use teleconferencing to hold open and public meetings if the Legislative Bodies comply with the requirements set forth in Government Code section 54953(e)(2) to ensure the public can safely participate in and observe local government meetings.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Capitola that the City Council does hereby:

2. Find that Current Conditions Authorize Teleconference Public Meetings of Legislative Bodies. The City Council has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency and finds that based on the California Governor’s continued declaration of a State of Emergency and current conditions, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, such that the conditions continue to exist pursuant to Government Code section 54953(e)(3) to allow Legislative Bodies to use teleconferencing to hold public meetings in accordance with Government Code section 54953(e)(2) to ensure members of the public have continued access to safely observe and participate in local government meetings.

The Legislative Bodies are hereby authorized to take all actions necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of this Resolution, including conducting open and public meetings in accordance with Government Code section 54953(e)(2) and other applicable provisions of the Brown Act.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: December 8, 2022
From: City Manager Department
Subject: 2023 City Council Meeting Schedule
Recommended Action: Adopt the regular meeting schedule for 2023.

Background: At the end of each calendar year, staff prepares the regular meeting schedules for the following year. The City Council has traditionally held only one meeting in July, August, and December.

Discussion: Attachment 1 features two options for the 2023 regular meeting schedule for the City Council.

Regular meetings of the City Council generally are held on the second and fourth Thursday of the month.

The one exception for 2023 is in November, when the second monthly meeting is recommended to take place on Tuesday, November 21 to accommodate the Thanksgiving Holiday (as is traditional).

Option A includes only one meeting on the fourth Thursday in July and one meeting on the fourth Thursday of August. Option B includes no July meetings.

Staff also recommends the Council consider changing the time of regular City Council meetings from 7:00 PM to 6:00 PM. With the implementation of hybrid meeting access for members of the public, staff believes this change in start time would allow for increased productivity and public participation. However, individual Councilmember work schedules may make an earlier meeting start time infeasible.

Upon approval, the meeting schedule will be posted on the City’s website and at City Hall. It will also be distributed to newspapers and interested parties.

Fiscal Impact: None.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: December 8, 2022
From: City Manager Department
Subject: City Council Appointments to City Advisory Bodies Recommended Action: Appoint City Council representatives to County and Regional Boards with early January meetings, appoint City Council representatives to City advisory bodies, and appoint members of the public to the City of Capitola Planning Commission.

Background: City Council Members sit on several County and Multi-Jurisdiction boards, of which certain appointments need to be reviewed and updated. Table 1 lists the current County and Regional Board appointments, expiration dates, and next meeting dates. Appointments to some of these groups will need to be updated prior to the next City Council meeting date to ensure City representation at their next meeting. As such, staff recommends making appointments to the Flood Control & Water Conservation District (Zone 5), Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments, and the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission. Staff also recommends the City Council nominate a member for the Central Coast Clean Energy Policy Board1.

The City of Capitola has established boards and commissions (advisory bodies) to advise on various functions of the City. Some of the advisory bodies also require City Council Member representation. Table 2 lists the advisory bodies with a City Council representative and their upcoming meeting date.

The City Council may also wish to make their appointments to the City’s Planning Commission on December 8, however the next scheduled Planning Commission meeting will be held on January 19, 2023, so City Council members can delay making Planning Commission appointments till January 12.

In addition, members of the public are appointed to the City’s advisory bodies for terms, some of which will expire in December 2022 and will require that the City Council make reappointments or new appointments for the next term. Staff recommends making those appointments on January 12 to allow additional time for the public to apply for positions.

Table 3 lists the advisory bodies with current vacancies. Those appointments will be reviewed at the January 12, 2023, City Council meeting.

Discussion: Staff recommends appointments to the following County and Multi-Jurisdiction groups:

The Finance Advisory Committee bylaws stipulate that the Mayor and Vice Mayor serve as Council representatives, though when either or both the Mayor and Vice Mayor do not want to serve on this committee, other member(s) of the City Council shall be appointed by the Mayor, with the concurrence of the City Council.

Staff recommends appointments of representatives to the following:

As a part of the advisory body appointment process, staff published a vacancy notice on the City website and through social media. Attachment 1 outlines the current composition of each group, applicants seeking reappointment, new applicants, and the next meeting date for all groups with current vacancies.

Dear Commissioner Routh,

As election day is upon us, I am reaching out to all active Planning Commissioners to see if they would like to serve on Planning Commission during the next cycle for 2023 and 2024. You are not required to fill out a new application, I just need confirmation through email. In 2023, the Planning Commission will have a great influence on the future of Capitola as we update the Housing Element and plan for 1,336 more units. You have accomplished a great deal over the past two years with a certified zoning code, preapproved prototype ADUs, an outdoor dining program, and helping our residents and businesses get through the pandemic. Thank you! It would be an honor to have you continue on as a Commissioner. Please let me know if you would like to keep your previous application active. 45 Item 8 B.

Estey Paul
Depot Hill
Retired
I am a retired
enigneer with experience in construction projects. In my professional career, I evaluated hundred of projects based on multiple criteria, a skill that will be useful to the Commission. I have served for the last 5 years on Capitola's Finance Advisory Committee and have exposure to the opportunities and constraints that face Capitola. As a sea-side city with tourism a key component of the city's income stream, there are some key priorities that need to be addressed to ensure future viabilty of the community without detracting from the unique Capitola character as described in the City's General Plan.

I am interested in serving on the Planning Commission for a number of reasons (see attachment) 12/01/2022
