Subject: Wharf Bathrooms
Dear Mayor and Council Members,
I apologize for sending this email so late but to be honest I have just read the Council’s Agenda packet. Since it is a late comment I will try and be very brief.
I would like to clarify as one Planning Commissioner it was my belief that the bathrooms at the base of the wharf were alway specified by the Planning Commission to be covered in natural wood. We did have a discussion in 2020 about verƟcal or horizontal siding but not anything other than natural wood. The first the Planning Commission learned that a bathroom had been ordered that was not scheduled to have natural wood siding was when the blue bathrooms arrived.
We were then presented the drawings prepared by Fuze Architects in March that brought up the idea of painƟng the bathrooms rather than puƫng on natural wood siding. The Planning Commission has consistently said natural wood siding was important for this entry feature to the wharf. We have not changed our direcƟon on the project so it is wrong to say the Planning Commission is now adding $25,000 to the wharf cost. That cost should have been in the original plans. If it wasn’t I don’t know what happened but the change to a blue bathroom did not come from the Planning Commission.
I hope the Council will honor the Planning consistent direcƟon that the bathroom should be covered in natural wood.
The bathrooms are the gateway feature of the wharf.
Thanks for taking the Ɵme to read this.

Agenda Report
Meeting: April, 11, 2024
From: Public Works Department
Subject: COE Bylaws & FY 2023-25 Goals
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution adopting amended Commission on the Environment Bylaws and approve the list of Commission on the Environment Goals for FY 2023-25.
Background: On January 13, 2005, the City Council adopted Resolution 3424 to establish the Commission on the Environment (COE) and adopted initial bylaws. The bylaws have been amended four times since by City Council Resolution Nos. 3610, 3696, 3779, and 3967.
At the regular COE meeting on Wednesday, February 21, 2024, the COE reviewed the most current COE Bylaws (Resolution No. 3967) and recommended the City Council adopt a newly revised set of bylaws (Attachment 1). The COE also discussed a list of goals for FY 2023-25 and recommended the goals be submitted to the City Council for review and approval (Attachment 2).
Discussion: Regular review of bylaws is considered a best practice to ensure that the bylaws accurately represent the Commission and meet the needs of the group’s structure, roles, and responsibilities. The COE may review and recommend changes to the bylaws to the City Council for adoption.
The COE prepared a list of goals for FY 23-25, which includes projects and matters of environmental concern that are aimed to align with the City’s climate action and overarching environmental goals. The COE goals will serve as a framework for the Commission’s meetings and scheduled activities for the remainder of FY 23-24 and FY 24-25. As an advisory body to the City Council, the COE requested that staff submit the list of COE FY23-25 goals to the City Council for review, input, and approval.
Fiscal Impact: None.

Capitola City Council
Agenda Report
Meeting: April 11, 2024
From: Department of Public Works
Subject: Pedestrian Pathway from the Upper Beach and Village Parking Lot to Monterey Avenue
Recommended Action: Approve the plans, specifications, and construction budget of $370,000 for a Pedestrian Pathway from the Upper Beach and Village Parking Lot to Monterey Avenue; approve the Coastal Development Permit; and authorize the Department of Public Works to advertise for construction bids.
Background: On March 25, 2021, the City Council approved an agreement with the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (SCCRTC) for the study and construction of a pedestrian pathway (Pathway Project) to connect the Upper Beach and Village Parking Lot (Parking Lot) and Monterey Avenue. The project has been designed to separate vehicles and pedestrians entering and exiting the parking lot, providing a safe pathway for pedestrians. On February 10, 2022, staff presented a schematic plan of the pathway configuration to the City Council, and on September 14, 2023, the Council directed staff to develop the final design for the Pathway Project.
Discussion: The final pathway design is adjacent to the existing driveway leading to the parking lot, and consists of a 5-foot sidewalk with a retaining structure reaching a maximum height of 3 feet, ADA-compliant curb ramps at the southwest and northwest corners of the Monterey Avenue and Park Avenue intersection, and striping to facilitate bike and pedestrian crossings. A pull-out has been created on the south side of the street, just east of the intersection, designed with curbs and stripes to function as a drop-off/pick-up zone.
In compliance with the SCCRTC funding, Public Works staff presented this project to the SCCRTC Elderly and Disabled Transportation Advisory Committee for review and comment in December 2023. The Committee requested the ladder striping of all legs of the crosswalk intersection at Park Avenue and Monterey Avenue, which has been incorporated into the project plans.
The construction of the pathway will necessitate the removal of one 40-inch mature oak tree and three other small non-oak trees. These trees have already been replanted in a 3:1 ratio in the Lower Beach and Village Parking Lot, including 7 oak trees.
Coastal Development Permit
The project requires approval of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP). The City Council is the approval authority on CDP applications for Public Works projects that require no other discretionary permit approvals from the City other than funding approval. The required findings for a CDP can be made for this application and are listed below.
Coastal Development Permit Findings
A. The project is consistent with the LCP land use plan, and the LCP implementation program.
The Pathway Project conforms to the City’s certified Local Coastal Plan (LCP) land use plan and the LCP implementation program as it will enhance public access from the parking lot to the Monterey Avenue/Park Avenue intersection and sidewalks.
B. The project maintains or enhances public views.
15 Item 8 C.
The Pathway Project will maintain public views.
C. The project maintains or enhances vegetation, natural habitats and natural resources.
The Pathway Project creates improved coastal access from the parking lot to the Monterey Avenue sidewalk. The driveway access from the Monterey Avenue/Park Avenue intersection is steep and cannot accommodate an ADA-accessible sidewalk due to the slope. The construction of the pathway will necessitate the removal of one 40-inch mature oak tree and three other small non-oak trees. These trees have already been replanted in a 3:1 ratio in the Lower Beach and Village Parking Lot, including seven oak trees. The improvements will enhance vegetation in the Lower Parking Lot while maintaining the existing natural habitat in close proximity to the Pathway Project.
D. The project maintains or enhances low-cost public recreational access, including to the beach and ocean.
The project involves improved pedestrian circulation and will enhance safety connections to lowimpact low-cost public recreational access to Monterey Bay.
E. The project maintains or enhances opportunities for visitors.
The project involves improved pedestrian and bicycle circulation and will enhance opportunities for visitors through safer multimodal transportation options.
F. The project maintains or enhances coastal resources.
The project involves pedestrian improvements in the Upper Beach and Village Parking Lot and will not negatively impact coastal resources.
G. The project, including its design, location, size, and operating characteristics, is consistent with all applicable design plans and/or area plans incorporated into the LCP.
The proposed pedestrian improvements comply are consistent with the LCP.
H. The project is consistent with the LCP goal of encouraging appropriate coastal development and land uses, including coastal priority development and land uses (i.e., visitor-serving development and public access and recreation).
The project involves pedestrian improvements from the Parking Lot to the Park Avenue/Monterey Avenue intersections and sidewalks which is considered development within the LCP. The proposed project is consistent with the LCP by providing safe routes to the coast with a new pathway.
CEQA: The proposed improvements are Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This finding is based on Section 15301(c), which covers the operation, repair, or minor alteration of existing public facilities which results in negligible or no expansion of use, and Section 15303 which covers the construction of new small facilities (curb, gutter, and sidewalk).
Fiscal Impact: There is $270,000 budgeted in FY23-24 for the construction of this project, which includes the $250,000 SCCRTC grant. An additional $100,000 in Transportation Development Act funds, specifically designated for pedestrian and bicycle projects also administered by the SCCRTC, is available; resulting in a construction budget of $370,000.

Recommended Action: Provide staff direction regarding potential tax measure(s) for placement on the November 5, 2024, General Election Ballot.
Background: In 2021, the City Council decided against proposing a revenue measure for the 2022 General Election ballot and directed staff to research and provide information about the viability of such measures in conjunction with the 2024 General Election. The adopted FY 2023-24 Budget allocated funding to poll Capitola voters to determine the viability of potential tax revenue measures before the 2024 General Election.
In November 2023, the Capitola Finance Advisory Committee (FAC) discussed polling potential revenue measures for the 2024 General Election and recommended polling an extension of Measure F and a General Obligation Bond, to assess how each type of tax measure would be received by voters. On November 21, 2023, the City Council authorized a contract with EMC Research to conduct polling with Capitola voters on potential revenue measures.
On March 14, 2024, EMC Research presented polling results from the survey their team conducted in January. The survey showed generally favorable results on the potential success of a ballot measure extending Measure F. The survey’s key findings were:
Capitola voters are optimistic about the City’s job and essential functions. Majority of voters recognize the City’s need for additional funding and are willing to maintain services through taxes.
The top priorities for voters are maintaining public safety response; roads, sidewalks, and bike lanes; and the beach and new wharf.
Support for renewing the expiring sales tax is well above the threshold. Support for a potential bond measure was closer to 50%; such a measure would require a supermajority to pass.
Since the March 14 meeting, staff has also learned that the Central Fire District is considering a bond measure for the November ballot of $31 per $100,000 assessed home value to address fire protection and life-saving services.
Discussion: As seen in the City’s budget forecast (attached), a fiscal shortfall in coming years is projected due to the expiration of Measure F, increased pension liabilities, and the steady erosion of retail sales tax when adjusted for inflation. The forecast assumes a 4.25% annual personnel cost increase for the next ten years, based on the average personnel cost increase from the past ten years (FY2013-14 to now). Steady general fund revenue ensures the City’s ability to serve Capitola residents and to accomplish community-driven projects, such as visioning the Capitola Wharf.
At prior City Council meetings, several potential tax measures for the November ballot have been discussed, including:
Extension of Measure F: The extension of Measure F, a quarter-cent sales tax, polled favorably with 78% of likely voters supporting the sales tax renewal. This extension would maintain the current $1 million general fund revenue the City receives annually from Measure F.
Replacing Measure F with New Half-Percent Sales Tax: Replacing Measure F with a new half-percent sales tax would provide $2 million in annual general fund revenue, beginning in 2025. Ballot language 31 Item 9 A.
that includes “replacing” an existing measure typically receives more support from voters than an entirely new tax.
Based on survey data, potential measure language that aligns with voters’ top priorities would include maintaining public safety response, roads, the beach, and new wharf. Many other priorities, such as youth recreation programs and support for small businesses, also resonate with large portions of the community.
While a general obligation bond measure of $49 per $100,000 assessed home value (totaling $30 million) was also polled, results showed a more difficult path to approval. Support was tested after the sales tax opposition argument, which may have impacted those surveyed. Only 50% of likely voters responded that they would vote yes to approve such a measure.
Revenue from a general obligation bond would be restricted to facilities and would be unavailable to fund public safety and general municipal operations. Bond measures also currently require a 66% voter approval rate, because they raise restricted revenue. Staff recommends revisiting this idea as an option in future election years.
In collaboration with EMC Research and the City Attorney, staff developed potential draft language for a half-percent ballot measure:
To protect essential city services including public safety and emergency services; repair potholes, maintain streets, sidewalks, bike lanes, beaches, the new wharf, and recreation programs for youth; improve traffic safety; and support local businesses, shall City-of-Capitola replace its quarter-percent sales tax, approved by voters in 2016, with a one-half percent sales tax, generating an estimated $2.2 million annually for general government use, for ten years, with independent audits, and all funds staying local?
Staff requests that, during the April 11 meeting, the City Council identify a preferred ballot measure option from the options outlined above. Upon receiving direction, staff will proceed by engaging community stakeholders and informing voters about impacts of a potential ballot measure.
Staff recommends that the adoption of a resolution to place a measure on the ballot be considered in June, in conjunction with the resolutions requesting an election. The last day for the City to submit a measure to be placed on the ballot is August 9.
Fiscal Impact: The Santa Cruz County Elections Department provided an estimate of $17,405 for each measure placed on the November ballot. The cost is determined per voter per contest, and the registered voter count in the City of Capitola is approximately 6,900.

Agenda Report
Meeting: April 11, 2024
From: Public Works Department
Subject: Wharf Resiliency and Public Access Project Update Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution amending the FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget to allocate an amount not to exceed $430,000 in funding for the Wharf Project for additional project expenditures.
Background: The Capitola Wharf is currently undergoing significant renovations through the Wharf Resiliency and Public Access Project (Wharf Project). The Project focuses on critical elements, including widening of the Wharf, addressing failing pilings, replacing the deck, and adding new restroom facilities.
The Project aims to improve the Wharf's long-term resilience. Construction by Cushman Contracting began in September 2023 and has been making steady progress since then.
The storms in December 2023 caused additional damage to both the Wharf and its structures, necessitating the removal of the buildings and further repairs to the Wharf beneath them. On February 27, 2024, the City Council approved a budget amendment to allocate an additional $369,000 to the Wharf Project. The remediation and removal of the buildings has been completed; however, additional expenses have materialized beyond what was presented at the February 27th special meeting.
Discussion: Additional Wharf Project expenditures for the City Council to review and consider are described below.
Building Demolition and Head of Wharf Repairs: As noted in previous meetings, the demolition process involved multiple steps, including content removal, hazardous material challenges, asbestos abatement, and building demolition. During the Wharf House building abatement, the extensive removal of contents resulted in cost escalation. Additionally, as work proceeded to repair the Wharf's head, expenses increased due to landing repairs and additional tasks, like structural reinforcements and unanticipated damage repair. Increased costs are detailed in Table 1.
Table 1. Wharf Project Expenses to Date
Expenses Estimated Actual
Previously Expended $8,314,000 $8,314,000
CWEP $650,000 $650,000
Building Demolition $805,000 $833,000
Repair Work Under Buildings $500,000 $512,000
Head of Wharf Repair $100,000 $191,000
Credit for PortlandLoo ($200,000) ($206,000)
Total Project Costs to Date $10,169,000 $10,324,000
Current Deficit $125,000
Additional Project Expenses: Bid item overruns refer to tasks of a project that exceed the initially estimated costs outlined in the project bid. Specifically, the deteriorated condition of the stringers surpassed initial estimates, requiring additional replacements. Stringers, crucial for supporting the decking, revealed numerous penetrations due to years of wear. Additionally, a previously unidentified pile required replacement for enhanced structural support for the Wharf’s landing. These adjustments amount to $98,200.
43 Item 9 B.
Various unforeseen circumstances, such as missing hardware not accounted for in the project plans, and challenges in aligning the old and new structures vertically and horizontally, have led to further expenditures totaling $81,433. Consequently, the total current additional expenses stand at $179,633.
Temporary Use Utilities: The removal of the buildings necessitates modifications to the utilities on the Wharf. Initially, the utilities were intended to remain in their current locations. However, with the buildings now gone, the utilities must be placed in a box rather than being connected to the exterior of the buildings.
Additionally, considering the desire for interim uses on the Wharf while a permanent plan is developed, it is necessary to create several temporary utility hook-up locations on the Wharf to facilitate temporary usage. The estimated cost for these changes to be constructed by Cushman while the Wharf remains under construction is $100,000.
The current proposal for utility hookups includes multiple electrical connections at the head of the Wharf structure, along with three multi-utility hookups (electricity, water, and sewer). Two of these multi-utility hookups are positioned near the former building locations, while one is located near the base of the Wharf. Removing the hookup at the base could yield cost savings of $15,000.
Base of Wharf Restroom: During the May 4, 2023, Planning Commission meeting, staff presented a restroom with wood cladding for compliance with the Wharf Project conditions approved in 2020. At that time the Commission directed staff to "consider alternative full exteriors for the Exeloo restroom structure for increased compatibility." Staff procured a restroom to meet this requirement, incorporating the coloring scheme of the adjacent Venetian development.
Staff returned to the Planning Commission on March 27, 2024, to discuss modifications to the Wharf Project prompted by the Capitola Wharf Enhancement Project (CWEP). During that meeting, the Commission added a condition to the Wharf Project to alter the exterior of the installed restroom facility with wood cladding. The estimated cost for implementing this change is $25,000.
Capitola Wharf Enhancement Project (CWEP): Staff will be initiating a change order with Cushman for modifications to utilities in relation to the CWEP improvements; specifically, electrical for updated lighting fixtures and plumbing for the water fountain/footwash station. Other CWEP elements will be procured and installed outside the scope of Cushman's contract. All CWEP components fall within the CWEP budget of $650,000.
Fiscal Impact: The costs incurred and projected for the Wharf Project are summarized in Table 2. Overall expenses for the project exceed the project budget by $430,000.

General Fund), $630,000 remaining if approved
Facilities Reserve Fund $200,000 Fund balance $432,741, $232,741 remaining if approved Total $430,000
Collaboration with FEMA and CalOES for financial assistance remains ongoing. While we anticipate financial reimbursement, the exact amount is currently uncertain.
Staff will present further cost saving options for consideration at the April 11 City Council meeting.
