COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
January 9, 2023
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Adoption of Resolution No. 6185, Authorizing Continued Remote Teleconference Meetings of the City Council and Boards, Committees, and Commissions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 6185, authorizing continued remote teleconference meetings of the City Council and Boards, Committees, and Commissions for a period of 30 days.
Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution No. 6185, as read by title only.
BACKGROUND
From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 through June 2021, the City Council and subordinate boards, committees, and commissions held their respective meetings solely by remote teleconference (i.e. Zoom webinar/meeting) under the Governor's Executive Orders N-29-20 and N-08-21. Since July 2021, hybrid meetings have been held, where the public may participate in person or virtually.
On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed into law Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361 ), which allows public agencies to continue using teleconferencing without complying with certain Brown Act provisions. The Brown Act ordinarily requires, among other things, that public officials attending a meeting from a remote location post the agenda in the location they are participating from; allow members of the public to attend the meeting from that space; identify in the notice and agenda for the meeting each teleconference location; and that at least a quorum of the legislative body participate from locations within the City.
The purpose of this agenda matter is for the Council to consider making certain findings necessary in order to authorize continued teleconference meetings of the City Council and Boards, Committees, and Commissions.
There was an immediate need for the City Council to take action to adopt Resolution No. 6185 at the January 9, 2023 meeting for the purposes of holding a virtual meeting because of the severe weather and the proclamation issued by the Governor. The immediate need for action came to the attention of the City after the agenda was posted and the necessity was determined by the City Council to add the adoption of Resolution No. 6185 to the agenda during the meeting.
DISCUSSION
Under AB 361, the City may employ teleconferencing as long as there is a gubernatorial "proclaimed state of emergency," and either (1) state or local officials imposing or recommending measures that promote social distancing or (2) the legislative body finding that meeting in person would present an imminent safety risk to attendees. In addition, every 30 days, the City Council must make the following findings by majority vote in order to continue the teleconferencing option: (1) the agency has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency; and (2) it either continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person, or state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.
Since last month the case positivity rate has increased, staff recommends the Council reconsider the safety and procedural issues involved in holding teleconferenced meetings pursuant to AB 361 and adopt Resolution No. 6185, authorizing virtual or hybrid attendance of meetings through February 8, 2023.
Through January 5, 2023, the community risk level in the county is ranked as "low," as defined by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention and the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reports an increase in virus transmission in the community. The total number of new weekly reported cases per 100,000 people in the county through January 4, 2023 is 105.26, compared to 76.6 on December 1, 2022. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department recommends utilizing teleconferencing options for public meetings as an effective social distancing measure to facilitate participation in public affairs and encourages participants to protect themselves and others from the COVID-19 disease. 1 In addition, California has experienced significant rain fall and flooding in recent weeks. The Governor proclaimed a State of Emergency related a series of winter storm events on January 4, 2023. The county also issued evacuation and shelter in place orders for portions of the county including areas of the City. The National Weather Service further predicted significant additional precipitation, flash flooding, beach hazards and wind advisories for January 9, 2023. These weather conditions promote the need to have a teleconference meeting on January 9, 2023 and other times in which inclement weather may pose a public safety risk to meet in-person.
AB 361, which amended Government Code Section 54953, will sunset on January 1, 2024. On September 13, 2022, the Governor signed into law Assembly Bill 2449 (AB 2449) which amends the Brown Act to allow members of a legislative body to teleconference under specified circumstances. AB 2449 is effective January 1, 2023 to January 1, 2026. Under AB 2449, if a quorum of the legislative body participates inperson from a single open and public location that is identified on the agenda, the other members may participate remotely for "just cause" or in "emergency circumstances" without having to comply with the traditional Brown Act teleconferencing rules. "Just cause" is identified as any of the following: (i) providing childcare or caregiving 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. Teleconferencing for the "just cause" reason may not be used more than two meetings per calendar year. 1 Health Officials AB 361 Social Distance Recommendation Issued on September 1, 2022 by the Santa "Emergency circumstances" is defined as a physical or family medical emergency that prevents a member from attending in-person. The teleconferencing member must make a request that the legislative body approve an "emergency circumstances" reason for attending the meeting remotely, which must be agendized and approved by a majority vote.
Regardless of which reason is raised, teleconferencing members must participate through both audio and visual technology and they must publicly disclose at the meeting before any action is taken, whether any other individuals 18 years or older are present in the room at the remote location with the member, and the general nature of the member's relationship with any such individuals. In addition, if there is a disruption that prevents the broadcasting of the meeting to members of the public using a call-in option or internet-based service option, the meeting must be paused until the meeting is broadcast again. Teleconferencing may not be used for a period of more than three consecutive months or 20 percent of the regular meetings for the local agency within a calendar year.
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 6142 on June 27, 2022, Resolution No. 6149 on July 25, 2022, Resolution No. 6155 on August 15, 2022, Resolution No. 6159 on September 12, 2022, Resolution No. 6163 on October 10, 2022, Resolution No. 6170 on October 24, 2022, Resolution No. 6173 on November 14, 2022, and Resolution No. 6181 on December 12, 2022 finding the requisite conditions exist for the council and subordinate boards, committees and commissions to conduct teleconference meetings under California Government Code Section 54953(e).
City staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached Resolution to authorize the continued use of remote teleconference meetings of the City Council and Boards, Committees, and Commissions.
POLICY CONSISTENCY
Review of this matter and direction to staff would align with the City's strategic goal of good governance.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City has established a business Zoom account for the use of remote teleconferencing of public meetings and the cost is already included in the current fiscal year budget.
LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Failing to adopt Resolution No. 6185 would require meetings to be held only in person under traditional Brown Act parameters. Adopting the Resolution would give the City flexibility as it moves forward with meetings over the next 30 days. -,:
OPTIONS
1. Adopt Resolution No. 6185, authorizing remote teleconference meetings of the City Council and Boards, Committees, and Commissions.
2. Decline to adopt Resolution No. 6185. Not taking action to extend authorization for remote teleconference Council meetings under AB 361 would mean the City Council would be limited to remote participation pursuant to requirements of the Brown Act.
PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING
There are no principal parties expected at the meeting.

HEALTH OFFICIALS AB 361 SOCIAL DISTANCE
RECOMMENDATION
COVID-19 disease prevention measures, endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, include vaccinations, facial coverings, increased indoor ventilation, handwashing, and physical distancing (particularly indoors).
Since March 2020, local legislative bodies-such as commissions, committees, boards, and councils- have successfully held public meetings with teleconferencing as authorized by Executive Orders issued by the Governor. Using technology to allow for virtual participation in public meetings is a social distancing measure that may help control transmission of the SARS- Co V-2 virus.
Public meetings bring together many individuals (both vaccinated and potentially unvaccinated), from multiple households, in a single indoor space for an extended time. For those at increased risk for infection, or subject to an isolation or quarantine order, teleconferencing allows for full participation in public meetings, while protecting themselves and others from the COVID-19 virus.
Utilizing teleconferencing options for public meetings is an effective and recommended social distancing measure to facilitate participation in public affairs and encourage participants to protect themselves and others from the COVID-19 disease. This recommendation is further intended to satisfy the requirement of the Brown Act (specifically Gov't Code Section 54953(e)(l)(A)), which allows local legislative bodies in the County of Santa Barbara to use certain available teleconferencing options set forth in the Brown Act.

PROCLAMATION
A PROCLAMATION OF THE
CARPINTERIA CITY COUNCIL
DESIGN A TING JANUARY 2023
AS "HUMAN TRAFFICKING
AWARENESS MONTH"
WHEREAS, human trafficking is a form of modem slavery that occurs in every state, including California, wherein victims are forced to work in various forms of labor exploitation including, but not limited to, commercial sex acts and other services that are induced through force, fraud, or coercion; and
WHEREAS, due to its isolated and discrete nature, many individuals across the globe are unaware that trafficking exists in their communities; and WHEREAS, it is estimated that more than 28 million people around the world are victims of human trafficking; and
WHEREAS, Human Trafficking victims face a cruelty that has no place in a civilized world. It is a crime that can take many forms, and one that tears at our social fabric, debases our common humanity, and violates what we stand for as a country; and WHEREAS, increased education about how to identify human trafficking along with increased knowledge of in-state resources and services for those affected by criminal exploitation can help decrease the number of future victims; and WHEREAS, the Santa Barbara County Human Trafficking Task Force is committed to using all applicable laws and resources for investigating human trafficking and prosecuting those engaged in it; and
WHEREAS, the Santa Barbara County Human Trafficking Task Force has worked diligently to bring awareness to the fact that human trafficking occurs closer to home than one might think, that California ranks number 1 in the country for reported human trafficking cases, and that Santa Barbara County is home to hundreds of survivors of trafficking and exploitation; and
WHEREAS, Human Trafficking Awareness Month is an opportunity to recognize the critical role all Carpinteria residents play in preventing, reporting, and adjudicating theses heinous crimes;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Mayor Al Clark, do hereby recognize January 2023 as "HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS MONTH" in our CITY OF
CARPINTERIA, and I call this observance to the attention of all our citizens.
IN WITNESS THEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Official Seal of the City of Carpinteria, California, to be affixed this 9TH day of January, 2023.

• New library materials ordered.
• Library held Frosty Fest family party last Saturday where 75 people attended. • Library staff were in the Holiday Spirit Parade and handed out 150 tickets that were redeemable for children’s books at the Library.
• Library Advisory Commission is working on a draft Code of Conduct Policy. • Library is currently open five days a week for a total of 44 hours with 3.5 full time employees; there is a desire to be open 6 or 7 days a week; unsuccessful at hiring fourth Library Technician, which makes it a challenge to expand hours. • The Library Advisory Commission recommended an interim Library schedule to be Monday 10 am to 3 pm; Tuesday through Thursday, 9 am to 6 pm; Friday 9 am to 5 pm; and Saturday 10 am to 3 pm.

Mayor Clark opened up comment from the Architectural Review Board.
Boardmember Reginato appreciated that the project includes warehousing, liked the project appearance from Carpinteria Avenue and the 50-foot setback near Franklin Creek and saving the trees. He suggested that the parking be lowered so the entire project can be lowered, the apartments be stepped back a bit, Ninth Street façade is too much, and preferred smaller housing units broken into smaller sections so Ninth Street residents can see the mountains. He noted that parking would be an issue for a visitor serving business such as a restaurant and would impact nearby businesses along Carpinteria Avenue. He also recommended mitigating the project height by losing volume ceilings on the top units, put as much soil on the project as possible, install eV charging stations in parking areas, do not install natural gas on the site, and place more studio units and less two bedroom units to reduce the project scale.

Boardmember O’Connor observed that it will be a challenge to create a beach feel with a three-story building and suggested lowering the parking level. He identified that the project will impact parking and questioned how the egress into the businesses on the second floor will work in the courtyard and asked if there was an opportunity for greenspace in the second floor courtyard.
Boardmember Johnson noted caution with high-density living. He liked the animation of the project elevations that are being proposed, but remarked that the wedding cake concept should apply to all four sides. He didn’t mind the 36-foot height as long as it’s located in the middle of the property and commented that the developer should focus on the exterior exposure concept to allow for 360-degree potential views to the community around the project instead of focusing on the interior courtyard as the entry and open space.
Chair Stein expressed concern over issues with parking and traffic and that the project was out of scale with the neighborhood on Ninth Street and Linden Avenue. He commented that the project has some consistency with applicable City regulations; however, the project is not compatible with the Downtown core and small beach character, nor is it compatible with surrounding residential development on Ninth Street.
He recommended the developer make the property earn what will be built so there won’t have to be an excessive number of housing units. He remarked that the City needs housing, but the housing needs to fit in Carpinteria.
Mayor Clark opened up comment from the Planning Commission.
Vice Chair LaFevers felt the mixed-use was appropriate for the site. He identified that there should be flexibility in exploring the amount of commercial versus residential use for the project, if the proposed commercial is a restaurant that will exacerbate the issues with parking, he supported having apartments instead of condos, and felt that the project location was appropriate for rental units. He remarked that there was room for creativity when designing the substructure parking. He was not overly concerned with the lot coverage as that could be given up for consideration to tier and step back, nor was he concerned with height as long as it is appropriately balanced. He suggested reducing the size of the units to help reduce the overall massing and that Carpinteria might be better served with small more affordable units.
Commissioner Callender explained that the project can have a certain amount of leeway in the early conceptual review as it’s an opportunity to discover what the applicant has in mind and see if it is consistent with what the City has in mind and how the law is applied.
He said the City and developer need to be on the same page and figure out what is the overall approach in terms of the project scope. He liked the restoration of the riparian habitat as part of the project. In regards to parking impacts, he expressed that the community take on a more community-wide strategy to address parking issues rather Special Joint City Council, Planning Commission

than saddling it on individual project applicants to meet an outdated set of requirements spelling out how much of the community should be devoted to automobiles. He saw difficulty in reconciling this project with the City’s General Plan with regard to preserving mountain views as he felt the existing Ninth Street residents would be disadvantaged by this project.
Commissioner Allen commented that it was important for the community to understand the impact of State law on local governments. He agreed on looking at a communitywide vision for dealing with parking issues. He advocated to stick to the 30-foot height, lower the parking level and stepping back the units, look at affordability by design for rental housing, and make smaller housing units. He appreciated that the project included creek restoration and suggested a long-term restoration into the channel. He observed that the rear parking can fit more than 10 spaces and recommended that for any new development with a lot of people that residents have free wi-fi and internet connectivity.
Commissioner Moyer appreciated the improvements proposed by the project. He preferred smaller housing units and step back the units. He observed that the Ninth Street elevations show the bulkiness of the project and that this is the beginning of the conversation about a project that could have great benefit to the City.
Chair Benefield recommended the project have an onsite manager living there as it’s a rental property. She remarked that there is a need for communication between the developer and the City and that each needs to understand the other. She commented that she would like to see this project move forward with many changes and identified that there is a need for housing and a need for an overall parking discussion and discussion with the developer. She was in favor of the overall project concept presented.
Mayor Clark opened up comment from the City Council.
Councilmember Lee expressed concern about the impact to Ninth Street residents from this project such as traffic, congestion, and public safety. He preferred to see more two and three bedroom units for families.
Councilmember Nomura suggested taking a look at opportunities/options for how this project is going to work and fit and to keep in mind what aspects of this project will set precedence in the future. He expressed concern about where the parking for the commercial space will go. He appreciated having underground parking with two-stories of residential above it and the 50-foot setback and recommended adding a walking path along the creek to connect to Ninth Street. He also suggested moving the courtyard away from the center and bring it towards Ninth Street, he felt the proposed central location of the courtyard could create issues such as echoing. He commented that parking will be a challenge and requested the developer look at the design.

Mayor Clark identified the need for the developer to balance keeping Carpinteria a small town and also provide housing. He noted that the developer should look at smaller more affordable housing units, including low income housing. He recommended the developer do more density, but at the same time, respect the neighborhood and town in developing this project.
Mayor Clark asked if the applicant had any comments or questions.
Justin Klentner, prospective buyer and developer summarized that he wants to work with the City and find common ground among all stakeholders.
ADJOURNMENT
Mayor Clark adjourned the meeting at 7:38 pm.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
January 9, 2023
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Code Compliance Quarterly Report Q4, 2022.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file quarterly report.
BACKGROUND
The Code Compliance Division enforces local and state laws for the City of Carpinteria.
Staffing includes one Code Compliance Supervisor and two Code Compliance Officers with varied schedules serving the City seven days a week. Code staff works both proactively and reactively to address zoning, building, homelessness, public nuisance, smoking, animal control, and parking enforcement issues within the City's Limits. Code staff works in combination with all City Departments, the Sheriff, and outside agencies to resolve calls for service in an efficient and timely manner.
During the 2021/2022 strategic work plan meeting the City Council requested to see quarterly updates on Code Compliance daily activities. Staff's quarterly reports are now scheduled for April, July, October and January of each year. In addition to providing the 3 months of statistics, staff will describe any notable variations from the trends and possible reasons for these differences.
To better capture and report data, Code staff requested improved tools that can be used to report and share information between Departments, Council, and the public. The Code Compliance Department researched many options and chose GoGov, a cloud based Code Enforcement software program to be used with IPads for real time in the field reporting.
Starting this quarter, staff has tested and begun to input data into the GoGov software.
The statistics below are a hybrid of the various data sources. Next quarter's statistics will be generated entirely from the GoGov software and may appear in a slightly different format.

Notable trends:
Zoning Calls for Service: Notable zoning efforts included assisting Public Work's Temporary COVID-19 Encroachment Permits, properties building without permits, sign regulations, and businesses operating without a business license.
The Municipal Code and the California Building Code provide regulations for the placement, construction and maintenance of all buildings throughout the City. When a violation exists, several code compliance tools are used to gain voluntary compliance. If voluntary compliance is not gained, staff has the ability to issue Administrative Citations in the amount of $100, $200, and up to $500 per day for each day that the violation continues to exist. Staff addressed 37 zoning calls for service this quarter, up 16 from last quarter's 21 zoning calls.
Code staff addressed 17 Public Nuisance calls which can include property maintenance issues such as over grown lawns and shrubs, smoking, barking dogs or other loud sounds. Staff makes public contacts for public smoking and open containers, shopping carts, and homeless issues.
At 96, Homeless contacts were up 3 compared to last quarter's 93 contacts. Staffs' time was mostly spent dealing with multiple individuals camping in or around Carpinteria Creek, a sensitive protected habitat.
The 33 Parks, Beaches and Open Space contacts this quarter were up 9 from last quarter's 24 contacts, these contacts included responding to dogs off leash, dogs on beach, graffiti, smoking in public and trash in public right away.
Parking: 358 parking tickets issued and 79 calls for service.

Notable trends:
The 358 parking tickets issued and 79 calls for service were down from last quarter's 460 tickets and 266 service calls. Certain areas of the City such as neighborhoods with a higher overall density are more prone to 72-hour parking violations. These areas require increased monitoring and enforcement actions to gain compliance. Staff notes that parking enforcement actions were increased last quarter when these numbers were significantly higher and the lower numbers this quarter reflect the results.
Animal Control: 56 total calls for service.

2. Adopt Resolution No. 6184, as read by title only; and
3. Approve the December 2023 Holiday Schedule.
(This motion requires reading of Ordinance title and a roll call vote.)
BACKGROUND
As a general law city, the City of Carpinteria is governed by California Government Code. Section 6700 of the California Government Code designates the days that are holidays in the State of California. Section 6702 of the Government Code provides that City offices shall be closed on designated State holidays unless otherwise provided by City charter, ordinance, or resolution. The Carpinteria Municipal Code provisions Ordinance No. 762 & Resolution No. 6184 - Pertaining to Holidays January 9, 2023
concerning City holidays are found at Section 1.04.140, Definitions of the General Provisions Title, and at Section 10.04.080, Holidays, of the Vehicles and Traffic Title.
The definition of Holiday applies to all references to holidays that are a part of the Municipal Code, except those defined more specifically in Title 10. The holidays listed in City's Vehicles and Traffic apply only to those Title 10 provisions. On May 10, 1971, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 106, which amended Section 3107 of Ordinance No. 21 pertaining to the holidays listed in Title 10, Vehicles and Traffic.
Holidays included in Ordinance No. 106 are:
• New Year's Day (January 1
st
),
• Lincoln's Birthday (February 12),
• Washington's Birthday (Third Monday in February),
• Memorial Day (last Monday in May),
• Independence Day (July 4
th
),
• Labor Day (First Monday in September),
• Admission Day (September 9
th
),
• Columbus Day (Second Monday in October),
• Veterans Day (Fourth Monday in October),
• Thanksgiving Day (Fourth Thursday in November), and
• Christmas Day (December 25
th
).
Ordinance No. 106 also spells out that if New Year's Day, Lincoln's Birthday, Independence Day, Admission Day, or Christmas Day fall on a Sunday, the Monday following is a holiday.
The purpose of this agenda matter is for the Council to consider amending the Municipal Code to (a) redefine Holiday under the General Provisions to mean those days established by federal and state law and by resolution of the City Council, (b) remove the list of holidays from Title 10, Vehicles and Traffic, of the Municipal Code, and (c) update and approve the holiday schedule to reflect current state law and City Council direction, including holidays that are part of the Council approved labor agreement and conditions of employment.
DISCUSSION
Staff has determined that two separate Municipal Code definitions of Holidays is unnecessary and conducive to confusion and/or misapplication. Also, the current list of holidays included in the Municipal Code is out of date and establishing that official City holidays be approved by resolution will help to ensure that the list of holidays is kept up to date. Finally, in addition to updating the recognized holidays to reflect current federal and state law, the City Council has previously requested an opportunity to establish the Juneteenth Holiday on June 19
th of each year.
Ordinance No. 762 & Resolution No. 6184 - Pertaining to Holidays January 9, 2023
Ordinance No. 762. Ordinance No. 762, if adopted, will amend the Municipal Code regarding the determination of holidays. Two sections, Section 1.04.140(F), and Section
10.04.080, would be changed. Section 10.04.080, Holidays, currently reads as follows:
10.04.080 - Holidays.
Within the meaning of this title, holidays are the first day of January (New Year's Day), the twelfth day of February (Lincoln's Birthday), the third Monday of February (Washington's Birthday), the last Monday of May (Memorial Day), the fourth day of July (Independence Day), the first Monday in September (Labor Day), the ninth day of September (Admission Day), the second Monday of October (Columbus Day), the fourth Monday of October (Veterans Day), the fourth Thursday of November (Thanksgiving Day) and the twentyfifth day of December (Christmas Day). If the first day of January, twelfth day of February, the fourth day of July, the ninth day of September or the twentyfifth day of December falls on a Sunday, the Monday following is a holiday.
Ordinance 762 would delete Section 10.04.080 in its entirety resulting in Section
1.04.140(F), applying to all references to holidays that are a part of Title 10, Vehicles and Traffic.
Section 1.04.140(F), Holidays, would be amended to redefine Holiday. The current and proposed section read as follows:
Current:
F. "Holiday' means and includes all holidays recognized by federal or state regulations, except as such regulations are modified by city ordinance. The term does not include Saturday afternoon where such Saturday is not otherwise a recognized holiday.
Proposed:
F. "Holiday" means and includes all holidays recognized by federal or state regulations, except as such regulations are modified by city council resolution.
Resolution No. 6184. Resolution No. 6184 lists the updated holiday schedule, including the addition of the Juneteenth holiday. The Council requested an opportunity to establish as a holiday at an earlier Council meeting.
Juneteenth (June 19
th
) refers to June 19, 1865 when Union General Gordon Granger led troops into Galveston, Texas to announce the end of the Civil War and the institution of slavery to the last slaves who learned of their liberation. 1 On June 18, 2021, the
United States Congress approved a bipartisan bill to approve June 19 th as "Juneteenth
National Independence Day" to be observed as a legal public holiday, and the bill was signed into law by President Biden on June 17, 2021. The following day, California Gavin Newsom issued a Proclamation Declaring June 19, 2021 as "Juneteenth National 1 From Proclamation issued by California Governor Gavin Newsom on June 18, 2021.
Ordinance No. 762 & Resolution No. 6184 - Pertaining to Holidays January 9, 2023
Page4
Freedom Day: A Day of Observance" in the State. In turn, Assembly Bill 1655, which amended Government Code Section 6700 to include Juneteenth to the list of State holidays, was approved by the Governor and filed with the Secretary of State on September 29, 2022.
Per the current Memorandum of Understanding with the Service Employees International Union, Local 620, and the Conditions of Employment for Management and Miscellaneous Employees, the City observes the following holidays:

nd or as

It has also been the City's practice that whenever a recognized holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the City will observe the holiday on the preceding Friday or following Monday, respectively. Resolution No. 6184, would establish this list of holidays and the practice regarding holidays that fall on a weekend as the official holidays of the City. Also, the Resolution would establish that public offices are closed on designated holidays but that the City Manager may determine when and which services are to be provided on a holiday. In addition to City Hall, the Community Pool and Library are closed on designated holidays while public safety services such as law enforcement and lifeguarding, and certain maintenance services, continue to be provided.
The designated Christmas and New Year holidays, as proposed in Resolution No. 6184, and reflected in the labor agreement and conditions of employment and past City practice, are flexible as to observance the day before or after December 25 and January
1. Staff has determined the following arrangement (see below) of the December 2023 Christmas and New Year holidays to reflect the designated holidays included in Resolution 6184 and needs of the City.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Agreement with ZWorld GIS for Mapping and Geographic Information System Services.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement with ZWorld GIS for mapping and geographic information system services in an amount not-to-exceed $35,724.
Sample Motion: I move to authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement with ZWorld GIS for mapping and geographic information system services in an amount notto-exceed $35,724. (Requires a roll call vote)
BACKGROUND
Since 2016, ZWorld GIS has been performing mapping and geographic information system (GIS) services for the City. Such services had initially started as the development of the City's first GIS in an effort to map County of Santa Barbra Tax Assessor parcels, aerial imagery, zoning and land use, and various City infrastructure and facilities for the purpose of essentially converting the City's paper mapping system into a digital mapping system. Since the original agreement with ZWorld GIS in 2016, five agreements have been issued on an annual basis for continuance of the GIS including maintenance and technical support.
The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement with ZWorld GIS for continuing the mapping and GIS services for calendar year 2023 in an amount not-to-exceed $35,724.
DISCUSSION
In general, the proposed scope of work for the Agreement will include performing the following tasks:
1. Creating, developing, and populating new GIS data based on engineering and/or field requirements from aerial imagery, engineering and survey drawings, tabular data, and GPS data.
2. GIS data support for the City's GIS web/mobile applications.
Agreement with ZWorld GIS
January 9, 2023
Details of the proposed scope of work is shown in Attachment A.
POLICY CONSISTENCY
The recommendation is consistent with the Sustainable Community Policy for energy conservation and waste reduction from the use of paper by using a robust, digital mapping and geographic information system.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The FY 2022/23 Adopted Budget includes sufficient Measure A funds under Engineering Services Account No. 215-411-5228 to cover the proposed agreement with ZWorld GIS.
LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The proposed successor agreement for 2023 uses the City's standard professional services agreement that has been vetted by the City Attorney's Office as to form.
The mapping and geographic information system services that will be provided under the proposed agreement support various functions of the City, including those involved with mitigating risks such as infrastructure maintenance.
OPTIONS
1. Authorize the Agreement with ZWorld GIS. (Staff recommendation)
2. The City Council Could choose not to consider the recommendation and provide further direction to staff. No authorization would result in the project being delayed.
PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING
There are no principal parties expected at the meeting.

Background
The City of Carpinteria is a small oceanside city located in southeastern Santa Barbara County, California, east of Santa Barbara and northwest of Ventura.
CITY OF CARPINTERIA
Incorporation Date: Sept. 1965
Jurisdiction Size: 2.59 square miles
Total Population: 13,040
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
The seven Department Programs
include:
Administration
Transportation. Parking & lighting
Solid Waste
Street Maintenance
The incorporated City of Carpinteria is a General Law City with a Council-Manager form of government. The Council-Manager form is the system of local government that combines the political leadership of elected officials in the form of a Council with the managerial experience of an appointed local government manager.
Departments are organized by service under various divisions and managed by Department Heads that report to the City Manager.
Carpinteria Mission Statement - "The diversity of the community shall be recognized, and City government shall serve the interest of all residents, maintaining an atmosphere in which the residents feel the City has their best interests at heart at all times. Government in Carpinteria shall be open, honest and equitable and shall encourage, to the fullest extent possible, public participation in the decisionmaking process ... " The Public Works Department is comprised of two divisions that oversee seven separate budget programs. The services provided by the department range from the ongoing maintenance and improvement to the City's streets, parking and facilities, to the engineering design and construction of the City's capital improvement projects.
The Public Works Department inherited much of the operational data from the County of Santa Barbara. For example sets of "road as-builts", road maintenance databases, and road right-of-away data was made available to the Public Works Department to use for the City's operational programs. However very little was in a GIS format or even ready to be converted into GIS data. Also at that time the Department did not have the immediate resources to develop the data into GIS or GIS applications for use by Department staff.
In order to assess and analyze the potential use of GIS technology and its impact on internal and external operations, the Department is seeking the services of a qualified GIS professional to conduct GIS data development. The Public Works Department is committed to advancing the automation and modernization of infrastructure and asset management practices and leveraging existing "locationbased" projects to maximize their use and integration across participating Programs. This proposed project will address the needs and potential deployment of GIS in the Public Works Department, while also recognizing how the Public Works GIS "fits" into the larger organization of the City.

Significance of Project
With the Public Works Department pursing a GIS Data Development, it dovetails with the Departments Operational Goals established in the 2013/14 Operating Budget. The City of Carpinteria Operating Budget which helps to guide the organization through a series of goals and performance measures can benefit further by having a more specific GIS road map as it relates to the functions and services provided by the Public Works Department. A Public Works GIS can strengthen the success of achieving and supporting many of the goals the Department has established. In particular the following goals can achieve a positive impact from GIS:
Goal - Street Maintenance
To keep the City streets in good condition by monitoring the condition of the pavement, markings and signs, making minor repairs as quickly as possible and to be preparing major pavement maintenance projects on a yearly basis.
Goal- Right-of-Way Maintenance
To keep the curb, gutter, sidewalk and landscaped areas of City streets in good condition by effectively managing vendor contracts, managing the street tree program, and maintaining and repairing street appurtenances.
Goal - Transportation, Parking, and Lighting
To continue to improve transit service and safety, better manage the on and off-street parking inventory and to improve lighting at the City owned parking lots. " -

Scope of Work - Mapping/GI$ Services
Project Description
The City of Carpinteria, Public Works Department has the need for GIS data and applications that support the Engineering, Street Maintenance, Parks and Open Space, Capital Improvement Program, Storm Water Management, and Solid Waste and Environmental Divisions. ZWORLD GIS will perform GIS data development, GIS data maintenance, application support, and mapping services as it relates to the operations within these Divisions. This will include creating and updating GIS data from as-built drawings, aerial imagery, tabular data, and/or GPS data.
Staff Supplement Services
ZWORLD GIS - Staff Supplement Services
ZWORLD GIS will assist the Public Works Department with the need for dedicated GIS services to either maintain current GIS initiatives or to fulfill legal mandates and obligations associated with business needs. ZWORLD GIS can sustain the GIS staffing needs while implementing GIS initiatives within the current staffing levels and budget constraints. In outsourcing GIS functions, the Public Works Department can ensure critical operations are stabilized with the benefit of experienced GIS knowledge.
Service Tasks
Task 1. GIS Data Development
This task will entail generating new GIS data from the hardcopy document or CAD as built drawings into a GIS data format (either shapefile or geodatabase feature class). ZWORLD GIS is experienced with the necessary techniques needed to adequately capture the new GIS data and successfully create corresponding attribute (tabular) information. Either importing the scanned document and georeferencing for a digitizing process or projecting the CAD drawing to harvest the correct vector data, ZWORLD GIS will create the new GIS format data, making it ready for applications and maps.
ZWORLD GIS can also generate new GIS data from using other source resources. If aerial imagery meets the agencies positional requirements, then structures that are photo-identifiable can be digitized. Survey documents that contain Coordinate Geometry (COGO) information, such as distance and bearings of pipes, can be used to develop the vector GIS data. Tabular data that contains X,Y values such as northing and eastings, or longitude and latitude can be used to position GIS data. GIS data can also be created using a GPS device, occupying the location of the asset in the field.
Task 2. GIS Data Maintenance
This task will focus on maintaining the GIS data once it has been created and where GIS data needs to be updated based on operational changes. This task ensures that the data is kept current and provides the most up to date information is available to staff and application users.
ZWORLD GIS will become the data steward of the Public Works GIS data maintaining both new assets and modifying existing features. ZWORLD GIS will be working closely with Public Works staff to perform the required edits to features and attributes.
Task 3. GIS Application Support
This task will ensure that applications using the City GIS data are updated in parallel to the ongoing GIS data maintenance. GIS data that is used in applications for both internal use for City of Carpinteria - SOW for Mapping/GIS Services 5

Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office "Commercial General Liability" policy form CG 00 01 or the exact equivalent. Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion for claims or suits by one insured against another. Limits are subject to review but in no event less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.
Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 including symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent. Limits are subject to review, but in no event to be less than $1,000,000 per accident. If Consultant owns no vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability policy described above. If Consultant or Consultant's employees will use personal autos in any way on this project, Consultant shall provide evidence of personal auto liability coverage for each such person.
Workers Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as required by law with employer's liability limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident or disease.
Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit requirements, shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying coverages. Any such coverage provided under an umbrella liability policy shall include a drop down provision providing primary coverage above a maximum $25,000 self-insured retention for liability not covered by primary but covered by the umbrella. Coverage shall be provided on a "pay on behalf' basis, with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. Policy shall contain a provision obligating insurer at the time insured's liability is determined, not requiring actual payment by the insured first. There shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another. Coverage shall be applicable to City for injury to employees of Consultant, subconsultants or others involved in the Work. The scope of coverage provided is subject to approval of City following receipt of proof of insurance as required herein. Limits are subject to review but in no event less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.
Professional Liability or Errors and Omissions Insurance as appropriate shall be written on a policy form coverage specifically designed to protect against acts, errors or omissions of the consultant and "Covered Professional Services" as designated in the policy must specifically include work performed under this agreement.

Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Consultant:
1. Consultant agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees, volunteers and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010-0413. Consultant also agrees to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit Consultant, or Consultant's employees or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g., elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant, at City option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 (thirty) days notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate.
13 9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Consultant or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self insurance available to City.
I 0. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.

This obligation applies whether or not the Agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect.
16. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Consultant's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration of the coverages.
14 17. The provrsions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees, officials and agents.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy.

19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such.
20. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section.
21. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements.
There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
22. The City's failure to comply with reporting requirements should not affect coverage required under the Agreement.
23. The consultant's insurance is primary to that of any insurance claimed by the City.
Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Continuance of the off-leash dog park program at El Carro Park
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council hear the report and provide direction to Staff Sample Motion: None
BACKGROUND
Dog parks benefit both dog owners and non-owners by providing a legal place to exercise and socialize their dogs in a safe, leash-free environment. Many communities have established off-leash areas and times of use within existing parks or have established dedicated dog parks with varying levels of amenities to serve dogs and their owners.
Leash laws were enacted to prevent animals from frightening, tripping or biting people or other animals, defecating and urinating in inappropriate places, endangering traffic, causing damage, getting lost, and getting away from owners. Leashes also provide a clear method of communication and ensure control of dogs.
The City of Carpinteria received a request in 2018 by a group of citizens who expressed an interest in the City accommodating off-leash privileges for dog owners. The group formed as the Carpinteria Dog Owners Group (C-DOG) and attained 501(CX3) status as a non-profit corporation. The group asked the City to investigate relaxing its leash laws in specific areas and to look into providing a dedicated dog park. I 1 C-DOG maintains a website ( https://www.c-doq.orq). From their website the organization states its vision is to transform Carpinteria into a dog-friendly, dog-loving community. Their vision encompasses responsible dog ownership that respects the dogs, each other, and the beautiful surroundings. They wish to become partners in helping our City's businesses flourish.

Off Leash Pilot Program
January 9,2023
On September 18, 2018, the City Council directed staff to investigate the feasibility of off-leash programs or dedicated off-leash parks in the City.
On March 11,2019, the City Council received a study on the feasibility of a dog park program in the City. The Carpinteria Feasibility Study evaluated various locations and options to implement off-leash privileges including shared use areas, fenced areas within existing parks and dedicated dog parks, that would create a park area uniquely reserved for off-leash dogs.
Generally, the Feasibility Study concluded that:
. Dog Parks are becoming more popular and available.
. Shared Use Parks are viable if designed well.
r A ded,icated park is considered a preferred approach by the Joint Powers Insurance Authority (JPIA).
. A community group to support or operate a dog park is considered key.
After some discussion, City Staff was directed to conduct a pilot program at El Carro Park that utilized a shared use area on the north sports field with specific hours when off-leash dogs would be allowed. El Carro Park was selected partially due to the request of C-DOG representatives. lmplementing a shared use off-leash area is challenging as it concentrates a new use into a park with long standing use patterns.
For this reason, the north field was selected so that the off-leash area would be the furthest from the children's play structure, however, this location did result in an overlap with organized sports fields. To help prevent conflicts of use, a completely fenced offleash area was proposed for a 10,000 square foot area in the north of El Carro Park.
This had the disadvantages of a somewhat reduced size of the soccer field and was not preferred by members of C-DOG. The proposed design is shown in Exhibit A.
The final approved pilot program was based upon an unfenced area, defined only by signage and user orientation with published scheduled hours set to avoid conflicts with sport programing. C-DOG enhanced the program with a temporary fence used at times when youth sports groups used only a portion of the field. This was intended to maximize field use opportunities by both dog owners and sport program operators.
As part of the pilot program, certain improvements to El Carro Park were authorized including regulatory and advisory signage and limited fencing. The off-leash area in El Carro Park is restricted to the North El Carro Park soccer field, about 2 acres. The pilot program was intended to work within current resources available to the City in terms of enforcement and maintenance.
On September 28, 2020, City Council adopted Resolution No. 6006, establishing rules and hours of operation pertaining to a one-year pilot program for an off-leash area for dogs on the northern portion of El Carro Park. See the off-leash area rules attached (Exhibit B).
G/Users/MatVPark-Rec/Dog Park Staff Report January 9, 2023 Page # 3
Off Leash Pilot Program
January 9,2023
On October 11,2022, after receiving a report on the first year of the pilot program, it was extended for another year. During a majority of the dog park off-leash pilot program's first year, Oct. 31 ,2020 - November 1,2021, all organized sports activities were halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The extension was granted in part because the first year of the off- leash program was during a time when youth and adult league sports were not using the fields because of pandemic conditions. Consequently, the shared use program could not be evaluated on how it worked in concert with other park users and sports programming.
DISCUSSION
The City's off-leash area pilot program at El Carro Park began November 2021 and remains in operation. While the City could not monitor daily activities, it assembled information from the C-DOG organization, other park user groups, complainants, and the City's maintenance and enforcement staff, in order to prepare this report on the pilot program. The report is organized by the categories of Scheduling, Users/User Groups, Neighborhood lmpacts, Maintenance, Compliance.
Schedulinq. ln the City's pilot program's first year, and with little organized sports on the field, the off-leash pilot program experienced no field scheduling conflicts. As indicated in the Background section of this report, the Council received a report on the first year of the pilot program's first year and, recognizing the need to evaluate the program when other sports programs were in operation, extended the program for another year.
Youth sports activities resumed mid-June 2021, with the start of Carpinteria Valley Little League and American Youth Soccer Organization in late August. Staff informed C-DOG of the approved permits for both youth leagues including the Central Coast Adult Soccer League, which uses the field for games on Sundays.
Users/User Groups. C-DOG agreed to deploy a temporary fence during times when organized sports uses the field for practices to compartmentalize the field and keep activities separated. The portable fence was deployed when thought necessary at CDOG's discretion.
For the duration of the off-leash pilot program, there have been no known injury incidents related to off-leash dogs in El Carro Park.
City Staff contacted youth sport groups, Girl's lncorporated, and several neighbors to solicit input on the off-leash program and consequently received various comments.
These include excessive dog waste left behind in the park, concentration of dogs leading to excessive barking, unleashed dogs disrupting youth organized sports, unleashed dogs frightening young children and minor dog skirmishes.
Girl's lnc. included that they have adjusted their use of the park because of experiences they have had where children have been frightened by off-leash dogs.

Off Leash Pilot Program
January 9,2023
Maintenance. No observed or reported turf maintenance issues were reported that related to the off-leash program with the exception of a perceived increase in dog waste encountered by park visitors.
Neiqhborhood lmpacts Complaints during the first year included barking from dogs congregating in the western part of the off-leash area affecting nearby residents. In response to this, temporary signs were installed reminding dog owners to not allow excessive barking along the western boundary of the pilot program area. Also, adult soccer players reported increased dog waste on the playing field. ln response, consideration was given to relocating the off-leash area to a portion of the south field, but the location change was not implemented because it was seen as more difficult to define, enforce and consequently would not solve any significant issues.
Compliance. Since 2021, City Code Compliance staff has responded to five calls for service for off-leash dogs at El Carro Park and has logged 97 contacts for off-leash dogs, either during non-off-leash hours or in a part of the park that doesn't allow for offleash, during normal patrols. Overall, the pilot program did not result in fewer violations at El Carro or any of the other City Parks or the City Beach.
It is difficult to isolate complaints about being attributable to the off-leash program in El Carro Park or to just dog owners in general. Dog waste issues and dog barking occurs throughout the City and in all City parks. Off-leash use at other City parks is occurring without the benefit of an off-leash program. ln these cases, it is a violation of City law.
CONCLUSIONS
C-DOG volunteers play a critical role in promoting positive off-leash protocols related to safety, and responsible dog ownership. Competent C-DOG involvement is essential to the program's success moving fonruard. Without such a presence, Staff could not recommend the off-leash program.
In order to accomplish a shared use off-leash area that minimizes conflicts and complaints, a higher level of supervision than the volunteers and the City can provide would be needed, i.e., a monitor or attendant during all operating hours. The pilot program was intended to work within available current staff resources and with the help of C-DOG to minimize negative impacts on existing recreational activities, maintain compliance of boundary and times of use, and improve dog clean-up etiquette. While C-DOG's efforts were commendable, at the end of the day staff feels the efforts of volunteers with occasional enforcement from City staff would be insufficient to meet the needs of a permanent off-leash program.
As an alternative, staff believes the City should reconsider the benefits of fencing off a dedicated off-leash area as previously proposed in El Carro Park. This would help to G/Users/MatUPark-Rec/Dog Park Staff Report January 9, 2023 Page # 5
Off Leash Pilot Program
January 9,2023
eliminate conflicts of field use. Work to keep dog waste from accumulating and for noise and safety matters to be minimized would still be required.
Also, because the El Carro Park off-leash area is intended to primarily serve residents within walking distance of the park, staff recommends that additional facilities be pursued in other Parks in the City
POLICY CONSISTENCY
The City's General and Local Plan policy OSC-14 directs the City to pursue the provision of adequate parks and open space for all community members.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Should the City Council implement additional fencing to create a dedicated off-leash area in El Carro Park, Staff will develop cost estimates for approval.
LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Off-leash areas without fencing cause potential conflicts among users and are thought to have a higher exposure to liability. The City acquires liability insurance as a member of the California Joint Powers lnsurance Authority. Staff has discussed risk management with regard to dog parks with the City's assigned risk manager and reviewed written guidance the Authority provides concerning Dedicated Dog Parks. The Authority does not have any guidance documents concerning other types of off-leash areas. According to the City's assigned risk manager, a fenced area is a preferred approach to reduce potential City liability.
OPTIONS
The City Council could extend or suspend the off-leash program indefinitely with or without adjustments.
The City Council could pursue installation of the previously proposed fully fenced area for El Carro Park.
The City Council could direct staff to pursue other off-leash facilities in the City

Letter Report from C-DOG
El Carro Off-Leash Area Report
By all measures, the program has become even more successful. We continue to enjoy strong attendance levels of dogs (30-40 per day) and even more owners (40-50 per day), providing socialization opportunities for both canines and humans. Many attendees bring their children along, making the experience even more meaningful. Each week we welcome new attendees at the park and our membership continues to grow.
There have been very few dog-on-dog issues as most dogs are known to each other, and budding problems are dealt with between owners. No dog-on-human altercations have been recorded.
C-DOG is aware of and concerned about reports of dog-poop at El Carro, as well as in other areas of the City. During our allowed time at the park, we believe we do an excellent job, however when our members arrive at the off-leash-area, we routinely find and pickup poop from earlier, pre-off-leash-area times. To help with the problem, we are in the process of formalizing a "Poop-Patrol" for El Carro, and with publicity, we hope to spread the awareness to other areas.
Recently, the City has unanimously approved a pilot program initiated by C-DOG, to donate two bag dispensers/waste collection units that will be placed in areas without trash cans. Volunteers from Carpinteria Beautiful will service the units. lf the program runs as planned, we hope to donate and place many more units throughout Carpinteria.
C-DOG is all in for Carpinteria, and we want to do more to help the people and businesses of the City while at the same time keeping our eye on our ultimate goal, a dedicated dog park.
One of our efforts was our "Carpinteria Dog-Friendly Places to Eat, Sleep & Play" program this summer. Recognizing the growing demand of visitors travelling with their dogs, we supplied new brochures to the Visitors' Centre that contained a QR codes that brought visitors to our website, which highlights restaurants, hotels, and shops that welcome dogs, as well as the El Carro OLA.
We have plans to expand the program to create inbound demand.
Lefter from AYSO
Hello Matt -
I have heard back from a number of coaches who had unpleasant interactions with the dogs at El Carro this fall. There have been no physical altercations between dogs and kids to date. ln summary the feedback is:
AYSO volunteers and parents are concerned about the safety of our kids because of numerous instances of dogs running through practice areas, dog on dog scuffles close to kids, and some dog owners with blatant disregard for kids practice such as walking their unleashed dog right through an active practice.
Attempts to discuss the concerns with the dog owners has been met with dismissive downplay of the potential risk. Despite having purchased fencing the dog owners group is not using it to separate kids and dogs.
Most of our AYSO board members are dog owners (including me) and we have made attempts to proactively communicate and make safe arrangements with CDOG, but don't feelthey have been interested in collaborating with us to find safe solutions for all.
It feels like we're opening ourselves up to a potential nightmare situation should a physical incident occur. The dog owners have very little to lose, but AYSO and our City (having at minimum implicitly condoned the unfenced dog play area in the same space as youth sports) have a lot to lose.
I'm happy to discuss further and attend the Council meeting if desired Thanks,
Dan

Honorable Mayor Al Clark
City of Carpinteria
5775 Carpinteria Ave.
Carpinteria, CA 93013
Dear Mayor Clark:
I live at 1568 Seacoast Way and my house is adjacent to the north field of El Carro Park. I have lived there for the past22 years. The issue of the dog park in the north field of El Carro Park is on the City Council agenda as item #9 for Monday evening, January 9,2023.
I do not own a dog. It is not that I don't like dogs, I just don't want to own one. I am at a loss to understand why the non-dog owning residents who live along El Cano Park bear l00o of the impact of the dog park.
C-Dog members stand about 40 feet away from my house. Some of their dogs bark constantly.
For more than 2 years I have endured listening to this constant barking. In the swnmer I cannot enjoy my backyatd or eat dinner outside because the dogs are right behind me barking their heads offuntil after dark. Soon trash cans will be added and they will undoubtedly be right behind my house since that is where C-Dog members like to stand. The smell of concentrated amounts of dog poop coming from even one trash can less than 40 feet away from my house will be overwhelming and once againthe non-dog owning residents of Seacoast Village will be bearing 100% of the impact of the dog park.
I am in favor of moving the dog park to the south field of El Carro Park which was one of the options discussed at the October 1.1,2021City Council meeting. South field is used much less than north field for athletic activities and it is further away from residences. Homeowners like me who are bothered by constant barking would finally get some relief. C-Dog would benefit from the move as they would no longer have to compete for space with the soccer players and school age children who use north field in the late aftemoon much of the year. If the dog park is moved to the south field the proposed additional trash cans will be far enough away so as not to affect any homeowners. The south field is a win-win for everyone. onEGEf .,'ED JAN 0 1- 2023

A dog park immediately adjacent to residential homes is not a good mix. Please do not make me endure anolher year of misery listening to the dogs barking with the soon to be added "pleasure" of smelling their poop. Please move the dog park to another location before the trash cans are installed and rescind the off-leash dog park designation for the north field of El 9ano Park.
Sincerely

Letter from Devon Tursick
Dear Matt Roberts and Carpinteria City Council,
I am reaching out in regards to the off-leash program at El Carro Park. The mission of C-Dog is to "provide safe and secure environments where owners may exercise and train their dogs" and "promote responsible dog ownership through educational, recreational, and training opportunities to encourage current and potential dog owners to develop more meaningful relationships with their canine companions the community." Unfortunately, since the pilot program has begun, this mission has not been followed.
The environment is not safe or secure and the individuals that utilize the dog park, whether affiliated with C-Dog or not, are not practicing responsible dog ownership.
There are a multitude of rules that dog owners continue to disregard and unfortunately, because the dog owners have not been held accountable for their actions, it has created a disturbance for many community members.
There are many Carpinteria residents that utilize El Carro Park regularly; adult soccer players, children affiliated with Girls Inc., children participating in sports and other activities and families using the park for play and leisure. All of these different people share the park with the dog owners and have been negatively impacted by the dog owners' inability to maintain the park, adhere to rules, create a safe environment or promote responsible dog ownership. There are also residents that live in close proximity to that park that are negatively impacted.
It is unacceptable that the dog owners do not adhere to following the rules. There are no repercussions for their lack of adequately maintaining the park, failure to provide a safe environment and disrespect for the park rules. There are dog parks that have been established in other areas where patrons are required to adhere to strict rules and anyone who breaks the rules is ticketed and receives a fine for their lack of compliance.
The purpose of having rules is to ensure the park is maintained, to guarantee the safety of all individuals utilizing the park and to create a safe and pleasant environment for everyone who uses the park. There are many risks associated with rules not being adhered to or enforced. It leads to disruption, chaos and a dangerous environment.
Lack of maintaining the park, either by failing to pick up dog waste or littering can lead to contamination of the soil, which negatively impacts other individuals utilizing the park and could lead to unwanted diseases.
Lack of fencing poses many concerns for the safety of other individuals and dogs that utilize the park.
Last year C-Dog stated they would start using a temporary fence; however, they claim the fence is too heavy to move and therefore throughout this entire year the fence has not been brought out once.
Oftentimes, the dogs become aggressive and fight with other dogs. There are even instances when the dogs are aggressive to passerby's walking dogs. Without a proper fence in place, it increases the risk of children, adults and other dogs being harmed. A solution would be to find a park where a perrnanent fence can be installed. Due to El Carro Park being used for various activities by adults, children and families on a consistent basis, it is not an ideal location for a permanent fence as it would not allow other patrons to use the park for their activities.
Additionally, lack of fencing creates dangers for the dogs using the dog park. Dogs off leash may run off and get lost, get hurt or potentially hit by a car. It is also recommended that fencing be used to separate larger dogs from smaller dogs in order to prevent injury to smaller dogs when larger dogs become aggressive.
Originally, C-Dog chose the area of the park that was away from where children play; however, children now utilize that same part of the park for various sporting events, and there are no rules in place to ensure the safety of the children. It would be tragic if a dog or an individual, adult or child, was injured because adequate safety guidelines were not put into place.
There have been a multitude of excuses as to why park rules are not being followed. These excuses do not justiff disrespectful and unsafe behavior. In any other situation, a person would be reprimanded for displaying inappropriate behavior. The inappropriate behavior will only continue if no disciplinary action is taken.
Last October, there were two contingencies given in order for the pilot program to continue. One was that C-Dog was to look for an alternate location or multiple alternate locations for the dog park in order to aid in the congestion in El Carro Park since there are multiple activities going on throughout the day. This was also to help relieve the excessive noise. Second, it was stated that the dog owners utilizing the dog park should use that time as an opportunity to train their dogs and cut down on the noise. Neither of these stipulations have been adhered to or taken into consideration.
Dog owners do not use the dog park as an opportunity to train their dogs and limit noise which negatively impacts nearby residents. They have been asked nicely on multiple occasions to limit the noise; however, they disregard the requests. They tend to be busier socializing rather than paying attention to their dogs' behavior. The police have been called on multiple occasions for noise complaints because the dog owners are unable to control the excessive noise produced through dogs barking and fighting.
C-Dog has expressed that they value being respectful neighbors; however, their actions do not support their claims. Examples include their failure to adequately pick up after their dogs, littering, excessive barking, participating in off leash hours at their own convenience, not maintaining the park and rude and disrespectful comments. Vance Fleisher, president of C-Dog sent out an email stating he is aware the dog park negatively impacts nearby residents, the soccer players and Girls Inc., yet he is determined to move forward with permanent implementation of the dog park without taking into consideration any of the concerns of other Carpinteria residents.
If there is not enough funding for this program to ensure that rules are being followed and if the program continues to negatively impact other community members, then the program should be discontinued. In addition, there is a blatant disregard for how this pilot program negatively impacts the vast majority of Carpinteria residents that not only utilize the park on a daily basis but also those that live in close proximity to the park.
When evaluating this pilot program, I urge the City council to consider the vast majority of Carpinteria residents that are impacted and not only the small population of dog owners who have proven they cannot handle the privilege of having a dog park. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Warm Regards,
Devon Tursick

L lntroduction
This study was directed to be prepared by the Carpinteria City Council on September 10,2018. Prior to that date, the City of Carpinteria received a request by a group of citizens who expressed an interest in the City accommodating more privileges for dogowners. The group has since formed as the Carpinteria Dog Owners Group (CDOG) andhasattained50l(CX3)statusasanon-profitcorporation. Specifically,thegroupasked the City to investigate relaxing its leash laws in specifc areas and to look into adedicated dog park.Some Cities have adopted regulations that allow for off leash privileges in areas ofexisting parks (shared use parks). Shared use parks are parks that have a fenced area that off leash dogs are allowed. ln some cases, the off leash area is not fenced. Some Cities have developed dedicated dog parks. Dog parks are nowfound in nearly everystate.
A dedicated dog park is a designated public area where no other park use is accommodated. Since the 1 970's, many dog parks have been established across the United States. They are becoming increasingly popular due to pet owners demand and local agencies willing to relax long established leash laws regulations. ln most citiesand other urban areas, dog owners are required to keep their dog on-leash when the animals leave their own premises.
ln urban environments dogs are generally confined to a small kennel, portions of thehome, or small sections of the yard. Typically, dogs are taken on daily walks, butbecause of strict leash laws, they cannot run free or easily socialize with other dogs. lnnature dogs were pack animals and the need for domesticated breeds to interact with other members of its species remains a part of their nature (Society ficr the Preventionof Cruelty to Animals, 2006). A dog socializes through posturing and behavior and a leash may inhibit communication with other dogs. A leash restricts a dog's naturalmovements and a leashed dog can become territorial and protective. ln order toprevent unwanted barking, jumping, or nipping, some dog owners avoid contact with other people who are walking dogs.Some dog owners defo local ordinances and permit their dogs to run offleash in vacant lots, beaches or parks. These individuals risk receiving fines and other retribution. Dog owners are financially liable if their dog causes an incident such as biting an individualor causes a bicyclist fall and injury; there is also the possibility their pet could be hit by a cal.
Locally, Garpinteria valley
is thought to have about
1,800 dogs with about one
half of those residinginside Carpinteria Citylimits. Currently, the Cityhas 631 licensed dogs onrecord. Every owner of a dog four months of age or
older, kept or controlled in
the City limits, must obtain
a dog license and pay all
required fees. ln order to
obtain a dog license proofof a current rabiescertifi cate is required. ln a designated off leash area, providing a safe environment for both dogs and humans presents certain challenges. Legal liabilities, design considerations, behavioral characteristics of dogs, and environmental and health issues relating to dogs and humans must all be considered.
Dog parks are provided in our local area. Off leash areas are provided in Toro CanyonPark, The Douglas Family Preserve and Anoyo Burro Beach Park to name a few.Dog parks also provide an important recreational outlet for humans too by bringing together dog lovers of all ages, health, social, and economic status. With dogs as social ice breakers encouraging conversations among users. These parks serve well to helpbuild community as people get to know each other and share information aboutresponsible pet ownerchip. Dog parks enable people with disabilities and senior citizens r,,.,.{*

who cannot always walk their dogs a safe altemative- By spending quality time with their pet at the dog park, owners strengthen bonds with their pet.However, there are some dog training probssionals who are critical of dog parks such as Ed Frawley. Mr. Frawley is a dog trainer and producer of over 120 dog training videos and DVDS, who has written an article entitled "Dog Parks Why They are a Bad ldea" written in 2005. He feels that dog parks are "well intended, but a bad idea"because most patrons do not understand the pack social structure. He states that many dog park patrons are irresponsible because they spend too much time socializing with the other humans rather than paying attention to their pet. He is concerned because patrons bring aggressive dogs into the park and patrons ofien ignore the posted rules such as permitting small dogs into the large dog section. lf a dog is taken to a dog park, Frawley gives the reader sensible dog park advice such as "go to the park at off-peak hours to learn when the quiet times are".
Another individual who is wary on the idea of dog parks is Cesar Millan, author of Cesa/s Way and star of the National Geographic Channel's Dog Vvhisper. He has written a book dealing with dog psychology, dog dynamics, dog aggression, and how to raise a balanced and healthy dog. Like Frawley, Millan is not fully supportive of dogparks because he believes that many dog oivners do not understand "the power of the pacK. He thinks that a dog park should be a place to help increase or maintain a dog's social skills and a place where a dog can spend time with other dogs. He does not think that a dog park should be a substitute for exercise and walking.
Ohlone Dog Park (also known as the Martha Scott Benedict Memorial Park), in Berkeley, Califomia, is recognized as the first dog park in the world; it was established by the city of Berkeley as an experimental poect in 1979. The park's steward, thenonprofit Ohlone Dog ParkAssociation (ohlonedogpark.org), has an ongoingpartnership with the city to ensure the quality and historical significance of the fucility.
As with The Martha Scott Benedict Memorial Park, many dog parks are supervised by an association of dog owners whose members can exert peer pressure to enforce the rules of the dog park. ln many cases, the dog park group monitors the park's use, cleans up, raises funds for amenities, and serves as communications liaison with thecity, neighborhood, and dog owners. ln some cases, the core dog owne/s group may raise the funds necessary to build the park including fences and other amenities, supply dog waste bags, post signs, etc. However, funding may come from a corporatesponsorship or from the City. Some dog parks charge a usage or permit fee.
Agencies that have installed dog parks have mnsidered several primary concerns; safety to humans and other dogs, noise generated from a concentration of barkingdogs, sanitation problems from the build-up of feces, disturbance of wildlife or native plants and how to handle ongoing maintenance.
ll. Types of Dog Parks
A. Shared Use Parks
One option is to allow for off leash areas within an existing City park or parks. The off leash area and other uses may overlap in the same area or may occur in separate areas of the park, but the uses are usually separated by a physical barier such as afence. lt is also possible to assign special times allowing dogs ofi leash during a specific period of the day or week.
The City of Encinitas, CA, has three neighborhood parks that allow dogs off leash thatalso have children's playgrounds or other uses within the park. These uses are notseparated by a fence, as the City did not want the children fenced in and did not wantthe dog area fenced off- lnstead, Encinitas park uses are separated by time. Dogs areallowed off leash during certain hours and days of the week when children are less likely to be present. For example, every other weekday and one weekend day is available for off leash use and, on those days, the off leash time is restricted to early moming and late aftemoon into evening hours. Scheduling ofi leash hours for early andlate in the day allows people to exercise their dogs before and after work. The mid-dayhours are reserved for other recreation uses.
Three Carpinteria parks were evaluated as a part of this study as possible shared use parks. These are El Carro Park, Monte Vista Park and Memorial Park. l. Evaluation of Shared Use Park Sites
Shared use park sites under consideration for the purposes of this study include ElCano Park, Memorial Park and Monte Vista Park. All of these city parks are in the vicinity of residential areas with Memorial Park and Monte Vista Park having the most multifamily housing nearby. All three sites have existing play structures and picnic areas. All the parks are already intensively used by the neighborhoods. a. El Carro Park
El Carro Park is the largest and probably the most intensively used local park by organized sports including AYSO Soccer and Carpinteria Valley Little league. Because it is foreseeable that dogs in dog parks might become over-excited and aggressive it isplausible that that the placement of dog parks near playgrounds, sports fields and picnic El Carro Pa*
areas could pose a high risk to the children in the playgrounds and less agile pedestrians.
The area preferred in El Carro park is in the northern field shown outlined in red.This 2.15 acre portion of the park is over 100 yards away from a children's playstructure and picnic facilities. lt is adjacent to a youth services facility (Girl's lncorporated), a private elementary school (Howard School), and 13 residences to the south and west. Use of this area would need to be time limited in a waysimilar to Encinitas parks and coordinated with sports use of the field. ln order to prepare this park for off leash purposes, fencing and regulatory signage would be required. Vvhen in operation, periodic mde enforcement presence would be required. CDOG oversite would also be highlyremmmended. b. Monte Vista Park
Monte Vista Park is located in the eastern part of the City. lt is smaller than ElCarro Park. lt does nottypically have league sports but is ofien used forteampractice. The preferred area is within '100 feet of a children's play structure, but the designated area could be reduced in size to increase the buffer area. The park is sunounded by multifamily housing and agriculture. ln order to prepare thispark for off leash purposes, fencing and regulatory signage would be required.
When in operation, periodic code enforcement presence would be required.
CDOG oversite would also be highly recommended.
lllonte Vlsta Parlt
Memorlal Patft
c. Memorial Park
Memorial Park is much smaller than the other previous mentioned parks. lt is sunounded by multifamily housing and the park is intensively used. Noorganized sports formally use the park, but pick up games and team practicesare common. Memorial Park has a high use by small children in the play area.The play structure is about 150 feet way from the area highlighted. The new play structure there is very popular. ln order to prepare this park for off leashpurposes, fencing and regulatory signage would be required. \Mten in operation,periodic code enforcement presence would be required. CDOG oversite would also be highly remmmended.
t
B. Dedicated Dog Parks
A dedicated dog park is one that is exclusively
managed to allow off leash dogs. ln a park of this
type, other amenities such as a children's play
area or organized sports are not accommodated.
ln the circumstance the City would like to pursue
a dedicated dog park, several sites could beconsidered. No sitewill be perfect, but size,sensitive adjacent uses, and acquisition anddevelopment costs need to be considered.
2. Evaluation of Dedicated Dog Park Sites
a. Lagunitas Vacant Land
One site that is available with very little mst is located at 6380 Via Real in theeastern part of the City. lt is 2.58 acres in size and is presently unimproved openspace with no ammenities. The site has many compatible characieristics for a dog park as it does not have existing park uses, is isolated from sensitive neighboringuses and is large enough to install a quality dog park project.Lagunitas Open Space is available to the City with no cost to purchase the land. As a condition of City ownership, it must only be used for park and open space purposes. lt is large enough to design a competent dog park design with small andlarge dog areas. The site has adequate space for needed parking. b. Dump Road Parcels
Dump Road open space is privately owned. lt has adequate space to design a nice dog park with adequate parking. The site has been used asa lay down yard recently for emergency public uiility use so it is devoid ofany natural features. lt is zoned for industrial uses. lts price andavailability are not known.

Carpinteria Municipal Code
Public safety is the most important factor in considering an off leash dog park- Should the City of Carpinteria pursue accommodating any off leash privileges, the Carpinteria Municipal Codewill needtobeamended. Staffhasreviewedtheregulationsof many communities and suggests that amendments will need to be based upon the whetherthe City pursues a shared use park, a dedicated dog park, or both.
Cunently the Carpinteria Municipal Code reads as follows:
CMC 6.04.230 - Dog leash required when.
It is unlavwul for any person to suffer or permit any dog owned, harbored, or controlled by him to be on any public street, alley, lane, park or place of whatever nature open to and used by the public in the city or on any private property without permission of the owner or person in charge thereof, unless such dog is securely leashed and the leash is held continuously in the hand of a responsible person capable of controlling such dog or unless the dog is securely confined in a vehicle.
The CMC could be amended to include a provision to allow off leash areas by amendingthe mde to read as follows;This section prohibiting off-leash dogs in public parks shall not apply to dogs that areoff-leash within designated off-leash dog areas estiablished by Resolution of the City Council. The City shall post appropriate signs and notices designating offJeash dog areas and indicating the rules and regulations applicable to such designated off-leash dog areas. Failure to comply with the posted rules and regulations shall constitute a violation of Section 6.04.230 of the City of Carpinteria Municipal Code.
Rules can be established and include many or all of the following items taken from rules of existing dog parks.
1. All dogs must be on leash entering and exiting the fenced area. Dog owners or handlers must have a leash in hand at all times for each dog under theircontrol. Leashes may not exceed 6 feet in length.
2. Dogs must be under the voice control of their caretaker.
3. All dogs must remain within the fenced area when off leash.
4. Owners must be in control of their dogs at all times. Dogs with a history of dangerous behavior are not allowed.
5. Cleaning up after your dog is required.6. Dogs must have current licenses and vaccinations; licenses must be on the dog's collar; collar must be on the dog.
7. No more than three dogs per owner/handler.8. Children underthe age of 14 must be closely supervised by an adult.9. Consumption of food and the use of glass containers are not allowed in the off-leash area. No fcod, beverages, glass, sharp objects or weapons are permitted inside the park.
10. Dogs in heat are not allowed.11. No puppies less than 4 months of age are allowed.12. Owner must provide their own drinking bowls.1 3. Leaving dogs unsupervised is prohibited.14. Training classes are not allowed unless permitted in writing by the City.15. Dog bites should be reported immediately to the City of Carpinteria.16. Every person bringing a dog to the park must possess a driver's license or government-issued identifi cation card.
'17. No dog shall be left unattended by its owner or allowed out of sight.
18. No dogs allowed if previously adjudicated to be dangerous.1 9. No dogs allowed that previously have bitten or injured a person or another animal or is showing aggression towards people or other animals.
20. No dogs allowed that are known to initiate fights with other dogs.21 .All violations will be investigated and one of the possible penalties is revocation of privilege.
22. Owners are legally responsible for their dogs and any injuries caused by them.
lV. Dog Park MaintenanceMaintenance of dog park facilities will be an important consideration. Maintenance willbe required to keep fences in order, fill holes dug by dogs, maintain the landscaping andparking areas and dog waste must be managed. As dog parks have be@me more common, agencies have realized the maintenance is critical to user satisfaction. Mostcommon complaints include no vegetation, excessive dog waste, overstimulated dogs running amok, dog fights, and even dog deaths.The cost of maintenance of a dog park must be accommodated to make the projectsuccessful. Routine patrol, code enforcement and maintenance activity will be required.
It is important the City have a record of dog park inspections and rule enforcement activity.
A. Dog Waste
"There are over 20 different bacteria, viruses and parasites in dog feces that can infectother dogs," said Michael Lappin, the Kenneth W Smith Professor of lnfectious Diseaseat Colorado State University. ln 201 2, Lappin led one of the first studies to discover whether dog park visitation is associated with an increased prevalence of parasites. Lab results showed dogs that visit dog parks were more likely to test positive for two common parasites (giardia and cryptosporidium) than non-dog park-atending dogs. The strains ofthese parasites were those that infect dogs and not typically people.
But ifthe dogs are healthy and are on parasite-preventative products, the Centers forDisease Control and Prevention says dog parks pose a minimal risk. People whobecome sick from these agents are usually the very young or very old and those who are immune-compromised.
lf dog waste is not properly handled, then environmental contamination could occur.
Vvhen rain occurs, dog park runoff can contribute to high bacteriologic counts and contribute to creek and beach closures.
A dog park properly operated will have strict compliance of dog waste pick up, provide dog waste disposal containers and a record of enforcement.
V. Design Elements and lnfrastructure of a Dog Park.
Designating an area as a dog park requires consideration of design. Signage must be present to clearly inform all visitors of dog park rules. Double gates for safety; visually shielded from dogs that are already in the park. Two orthree entrancesare preferable. Awell designed dog parkwill have fencing and decisions on how highand what type are important. The park should be as large as possible, at least anacre. lt is preferably not a square piece of land, but one that is oddly shaped.The park should have hills, structures and trees to block dogs from racingtowards each other.
Keeping large dogs and small dogs separated is considered by many experts to be critical. Park features such as a potable water fcuntain, shade, accessible parking, largeand small dog areas, seating, dog waste bag dispensers, durable and appropriate landscaping, trash cans, restrooms and other amenities are considered important.Should the City decide to proceed with any form of a dog park project, it isrecommended a licensed landscape architect be retained to provide plans and designdetails.
Vl. City Liability
ln mnsideration of pursuing a dog park project, the City must consider exposure toliability. Generally, some immunities exist that protect government entities from some claims. For example,
California Govemment Code 5831.7.5. provides some immunity and states as follows
(a) A public entity that owns or operates a dog park shall not be held liable for injury or death of a person or pet resulting solely from the actions of a dog in the dog Park.
California Government Code Section 5830.6 provides, "Neither a public entity nor a public employee is liable ... for an injury caused by the plan or design of a construction ol or an improvement to, public property where such plan or design has been approved in advance ofthe construction or improvement by the legislative body . .. or employee exercising discretionary authority to give such approval or where such plan or design is prepared in conformity with standards previously approved.
However, failure to enforce its own rules and regulations may result in govemmental liability. Dog parks frequently are governed by special rules that are either posted orpart of the local municipal code. lf an lrresponsible dog owner has a habit of breaking those rules, and the local animal control officers do nothing despite being informed, a person who sustains personal injuries or injuries to his or her dog may prevail against the municipality.Vll. GJPIA Guidance
The City of Carpinteria is a member of the California JPIA. The CJPIA works with themembers to reduce the frequency and severity of claims. Through risk analysis and continued education, the Authority helps its members identify exposures and prevent losses. Each member agency is assigned a professional Risk Manager to serve itsspecific needs and to help the agency determine its risk managemeni strategy. Theassigned risk manager for the City of Carpinteria was queried about possible dog park ideas including off leash areas and a dedicated dog park. Some concern was expressed about time control off leash privileges in existing parks as they may be an unconventional approach and mixed uses in parkscan lead to increases in liability exposure. The idea of a dedicated dog park was considered a prefened approach anda record of rule enforcement by the City considered to be a good management practice.
Vlll. Gonclusions
Dog parks enable owners to spend quality time with their dogs. These areas promote social interactions among dogs and generally ofier a safe setting for regular exercise ina controlled environment under the supervision of their owners. Over the last decades, dog parks became very popular in urban areas and are one of the fastest growingsegments of city parks.Shared use parks are a viable concept if properly designed and programmed to avoidconflicts of use with existing park activities. A record of rule enforcement is remmmended.
A dedicated dog park facility is a more conventional approach but must also be properly designed, maintained and supervised to be successful.
A nongovernment partner supporting or operating the off leash dog park is considered a big plus to the success of an off leash dog park.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
January 9, 2023
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Update of Grid Reliability, Renewable Energy Procurement, and Building Electrification
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file updates from Central Coast Community Energy, Southern California Edison, and Tri-County Regional Energy Network regarding grid reliability, renewable energy procurement and education opportunities, and the process for drafting local building electrification regulations.
Sample Motion: I move to receive and file the updates regarding grid reliability, renewable energy procurement and education opportunities, and the process for drafting building electrification regulations.
BACKGROUND
Staff has been participating in a working group with the cities of Goleta and Santa Barbara, County of Santa Barbara, Southern California Edison, and Tri-County Regional Energy Network in order to develop code amendments or reach codes with regional consistency. To date, the working group has held several stakeholder workshops and one public workshop.
In 2019, the City joined Central Coast Community Energy, a community choice energy organization, with the intention of having greater control in local energy procurement and programs. The City shares a seat on the Policy Board of Directors (elected officials) and the Operations Board of Directors (agency staff) with the City of Goleta through a Memorandum of Understanding. Currently, the City holds the voting member seat on the Policy Board of Directors with the City of Goleta as the alternate, and the City of Goleta holds the voting member position for the Operations Board of Directors with City as the alternate. These roles are reversed every two years.
On October 10, 2022, the City Council directed staff to initiate the ordinance process concerning building electrification regulations citing health and safety concerns and requested additional information on grid reliability, renewable energy procurement, and outreach efforts.
Building Electrification Regulations Update
January 9, 2023
The purpose of this agenda matter is to receive and file updates from Central Coast Community Energy, Southern California Edison, and Tri-County Regional Energy Network regarding grid reliability, renewable energy procurement, and education opportunities as well as an update on the ordinance process concerning building electrification regulations.
DISCUSSION
The effort to meet the goal set by the state for carbon neutrality by 2045 requires a multi-faceted approach that includes increased electrical grid reliability and renewable energy procurement, local ordinance updates, and increased training opportunities.
Along with the information provided below, Southern California Edison, Central Coast Community Energy, and Tri-County Regional Energy Network will be providing presentations on the work they are doing to assist in meeting these goals.
Grid Reliability
Southern California Edison (SCE) operates the electrical grid that serves much of southern California, including southern Santa Barbara County. The City of Carpinteria is located in what is referred to by SCE as the Goleta load pocket, at the end of SCE's electrical distribution grid. Due to the unique topography of the south coast of Santa Barbara County, the transmission lines that deliver electricity are located in areas at risk of wildfire and other natural disasters. This includes increased risk of prolonged electrical outages should the 220 and 66kV high-voltage transmission lines that traverse the Santa Ynez foothills and service the area stop preforming simultaneously. In December 2020, SCE released a plan to modernize and harden its distribution system.
This includes shifting the focus from that of systemwide reliability standards to one that meets multiple objectives based on specific and localized needs with an approximate investment of five billion dollars annually.
Renewable Energy Procurement
Central Coast Community Energy (CCCE) focuses on procuring electricity from existing and new renewable energy projects including energy storage technology with the goal of being 1 CO-percent renewable by 2030. This approach provides higher impact, long lasting contributions to California's grid. In addition to renewable energy procurement and projects, CCCE provides rebate programs to its customers. These include funding assistance programs for purchasing electric vehicles and charging stations under the Electrify Your Ride program, new construction electrification and reach code development. Through its roles on both the Policy Board and Operations Board, as well as staff participation, the City provides input on the development of programs offered to CCCE customers and promotes those programs offered.
Education and Workforce Development Opportunities
Tri-County Regional Energy Network (3C-REN) is a partnership between the counties of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura that were established to deliver energysaving programs and industry trainings in order to help reduce energy use, strengthen local job markets, and support efforts to achieve climate goals. 3C-REN offers a variety of programs for households and industry including direct energy saving opportunities Building Electrification Regulations Update
January 9, 2023
with an emphasis on hard-to-reach and underserved communities and capacity-building services such as workforce training and technical code support. Serving both public and private sector professionals, 3C-REN is instrumental in assisting with building electrification throughout its region.
Building Electrification Regulations (Reach Code) Ordinance Update In an effort to develop a building electrification ordinance that provides regional consistency, staff is currently working with Central Coast Community Energy, Tri-County Regional Energy Network, City of Goleta, and County of Santa Barbara in the stakeholder outreach campaign to local contractors, builder associations, and chambers of commerce. This collaboration held two Reach Code Working Group workshops (September 15 and October 18, 2022) and one public workshop (October 13, 2022), and individually met with the South Coast Chamber of Commerce (December 5, 2022).
Staff also participated in the Equity Advisory Outreach Committee Meeting of the Santa Barbara County Climate Collaborative on December 7, 2022.
The next Reach Code Advisory Group Meeting is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, January 26, 2023, at 11 :00 AM. Both the County of Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors and City of Goleta Green Committee are in process of initiating ordinance updates for natural gas prohibitions.
Reach Code Applicability
The City of Santa Barbara and County of Ventura are the latest examples of local agencies that adopted reach codes. In 2021, the City of Santa Barbara adopted an ordinance banning methane and natural gas infrastructure in new buildings, which is defined any as including new construction, demolition and rebuilding, or projects affecting more than 75-percent of any two of the following:
1. Structural roof or roof framing
2. Structural exterior walls (or are no longer an integral structural component)
3. Foundation (or are no longer an integral structural component) In October 2022, the County of Ventura adopted a similar ordinance with prohibitions on natural gas applicable to all new construction, additions where the size of the addition exceeds 50-percent of the area of the existing building, and alterations where the value of the alteration exceeds 50-percent of the estimated value of the existing building. Staff is researching provisions that are similar to those of the County of Ventura as these are consistent with the thresholds for other requirements including those required in the City's Floodplain Management Regulations and the threshold for sprinkler systems required by the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District.
Reach Code Exemptions
Possible exemptions vary across jurisdictions with certain recently adopted ordinances being broadly applicable to both residential and commercial operations and while others provide certain exemptions based on public interest or technical infeasibility.
The City of Santa Barbara's natural gas prohibitions include the following exemptions:
Building Electrification Regulations Update
January 9, 2023
• Physical Infeasibility: This exemption applies when an all-electric prescriptive compliance approach is unavailable under the Energy Code, or when the building is unable to achieve the performance compliance standards under the Energy Code using commercially available technology and an approved calculation method
• Public Interest Exemption: Applies to natural gas for to cooking appliances in commercial kitchens for restaurants or institutional cooking facilities; or laboratory equipment or clean-rooms for scientific or medical uses, or the use serves the public interest; in consideration of available alternative technologies or systems which do not use natural gas, and any other impacts on the health, safety, or welfare of the public.
Staff anticipates presenting a draft ordinance in February 2023. The draft ordinance will include applicability and exemption options.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is consistent with the City's Sustainable Community Policy (Resolution No. 5500). This includes implementation of projects such as renewable energy development, participation in community choice energy, and the development of a building electrification reach code. Additionally, these policies align with those set forth by CCCE in their Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) 1 , which the City is
a party to.
POLICY CONSISTENCY
The recommendation may be found consistent with the City's Sustainable Community Policy (Resolution No. 5500), in particular, the following:
Environmental Stewardship
• Develop and implement standards to reduce energy use; • Publicize energy efficient building design and construction practices that allow for future adaptation to efficient energy solutions such as solar electric or grey water systems for landscape irrigation;
• Continue to collaborate with regional and state entities to reduce impacts to the environment and reduce energy consumption;
• Streamline permitting for energy efficient improvements to existing structures; and
• Develop a municipal/government agency efficiency program to improve and update existing facilities and fleets to more energy efficient alternatives and "lead by example" for the community and other local agencies. 1 Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, Central Coast Community Energy, https://3cenergy.org/wpcontent/u ploads/2022/09/2022. 09. 22-Amended-J PA. pdf Building Electrification Regulations Update
