LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES AGENDA STAFF REPORT
November 13, 2023

ITEM FOR LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONSIDERATION
November 2023 Carpinteria Community Library Report.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the report.

Sample Motion: I move to receive and file the Carpinteria Community Library report.

BACKGROUND
The Carpinteria Community Library was established by Ordinance 747 on June 14, 2021, and added to Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 2.38, which established a Library Board of Trustees (Section 2.38.030) to meet at least once a month.

As a public library operating in California and receiving resources and support from the California State Library, there is a requirement to report statistics to the State Library.

Each year the State provides a template for public libraries to populate the data the State Library needs to document their work. This year the Public Library Survey (PLS) was due to the State Library on November 7, 2023. (Attachment B)

DISCUSSION
The Public Library Survey was submitted to the State Library on November 7, 2023.

Attachment A is a short infographic with some key statistics. Attachment B includes the entire survey with statistics from the first full year of the City operating the Carpinteria library.

Pre-pandemic, Therapy Dogs of Santa Barbara provided volunteers and their wonderful dogs to the Carpinteria Library, to facilitate early reading. The library has re-established a partnership with Therapy Dogs of Santa Barbara who are again providing therapy dogs which the children read to at the library. Research has shown that non-judgmental listeners (who don't interrupt) make great confidence builders for emerging readers.

They also de-stress and calm young readers, which facilitates learning.

LBOT Staff Report
November 13, 2023

Page 2 ends

Carpinteria Community Library happily accepts volunteers for a variety of jobs that facilitate the running of the library. Volunteers support the library in many ways - shelving, providing one-to-one literacy tutoring, serving on Boards or Commissions, volunteering at the Friends of the Library bookstore, offering programs, processing books and more.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The Library programs and resources are consistent with the actions of the City Council concerning the establishment of a municipal library.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
There are no financial considerations presented with this report.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
As determined necessary and appropriate, staff consults with the City Attorney's Office and risk managers of its insurance entity, the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority, in order to ensure compliance with legal requirements and best practices.

OPTIONS
1 . Receive and file.

2. Direct staff as appropriate.

PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING
No principal parties are expected to attend.

(Optional) Share a success story about your library staff, programming, services, community, partnerships, facilities, or collections.

We have made some wonderful changes to the library in the first year of new management. We have revived a local history collection for a very proud community. We have created a thriving English Language Leaming program with 18 tutors and 20 learners. We have 59 volunteers, both seniors and students, supporting our operation. We created a program this year, called "A Little Bit Happier", using elements ofa couple of resources. The program filled immediately with a waitlist. We all learned something about positive psychology and some tools for increasing happiness in our lives. But the success story was one patron who came to the first class feeling very down and isolated. But by the last class, she was wearing colorful clothes, had reached out to old friends, connected with her neighbors, started creating art again, and planned a date with a former colleague, the first date in IO years. We are working on codifying the course to share with others.

MEMORANDUM
Council Meeting Date: November 13, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Dave Durflinger, City Manager
Subject: City Manager’s Report
Housing Element Update. Following the June receipt of a response letter from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on the City’s adopted Housing Element Update, staff have been working closely with HCD staff to revise the Element and satisfactorily address all HCD comments. Having recently completed the revised Draft Housing Element Update (revised Draft Element), it has been posted to the City’s website (see the “Housing Element Update” page under “Hot Topics”) for public review.

Public comments on the revised Draft Element will be received from November 6 until Monday, November 13, 2023. Following the close of the public review period, the revised Draft Element will be resubmitted to HCD for review and a determination of substantial compliance with state housing law. HCD has agreed to an expedited review (<45 days). Following a substantial compliance determination by HCD, the revised Draft Element will be returned to the City Council for re-adoption and then resubmitted to HCD for final certification. Staff is targeting Housing Element certification for early 2024.

New Service Request Portal Launched. On November 6, the City launched the GOGOV Citizen Request Management system, a new and efficient way to manage service requests and engage with our community. The platform will supersede the existing public service request form on the City’s website, as well as Public Works internal requests. This software aims to modernize and streamline City operations, enhancing the effectiveness of our service request processes.

The system comprises two key components:

1. Internal Service Requests:

Streamlining the internal service request process through GoGov offers several key advantages:
• Simplified Workflow: The system's intuitive design simplifies the process for city employees, promoting efficiency, reducing paperwork, and enhancing the overall workflow.
2 • Centralized Communication: All internal requests, spanning various departments and teams, now reside within a unified platform, fostering improved coordination and seamless communication. • Real-Time Updates: City employees have the ability to monitor the real-time status of service requests, ensuring transparency and allowing for prompt adjustments when necessary.
• Collaboration Tools: The system facilitates interdepartmental collaboration and communication, promoting greater synergy in delivering services to our community.
• Enhanced Accountability: Each request is meticulously tracked, ensuring accountability and providing valuable data to measure our performance in addressing both internal and external requests.

2. External Citizen Requests:

Empowering Carpinteria residents to engage with their local government through the City of Carpinteria app (available on all smartphones) or the GoGov city website delivers numerous benefits:
• Accessibility: Carpinteria residents can submit requests and inquiries at their convenience, 24/7, through our online portal or mobile app, making it more accessible for them to interact with their local government.
• Efficient Tracking: Citizens have the capability to monitor the realtime status of their requests, promoting transparency and providing assurance that their concerns are being promptly addressed. • Effective Communication: City employees can engage directly with residents through the platform, ensuring a rapid and informed response to their concerns.
• Community Engagement: The system encourages citizens to connect with fellow residents and collaborate on initiatives to enhance Carpinteria. It fosters a strong sense of community and active participation in shaping our city's future.

Architectural Review Board Meeting Broadcasting. Per Council request, a Staff Memorandum has separately been distributed to Councilmembers assessing the possibility of broadcasting Architectural Review Board (ARB) meetings. Based on the information provided in the memo, the Council may direct that staff proceed with making the necessary arrangements to:
(a) Broadcast ARB meetings, including GATV, Granicus and Zoom; and (b) Add Zoom broadcast and public comment access to Planning Commission meetings.
3 State Lands Commission Approves Pipeline Lease Amendment. On September 11, 2023, the City Council authorized to approve and execute the Fifth Amendment to the Pipeline Lease to extend the term of the Lease Agreement between the City of Carpinteria and Chevron lease three (3) years until September 26, 2026, in order to facilitate Chevron's decommissioning activities, including plugging and abandonment of offshore wells and facilities associated with Platforms Gail and Grace.

Pursuant to amendments to the statutes granting tide and submerged lands to the City (Stats. 1978, Ch. 697), approval from the California State Lands Commission is required for leases on tide and submerged lands under the City’s control. Therefore, City Council’s approval of the lease was still conditional until California State Lands Commission approval was secured. City staff brought the conditionally approved lease extension to the October 9 meeting of the California State Lands Commission where it was approved.

Planning Commission Meeting of November 6, 2023.
o Pura Residence Repairs & Alterations, 761 Olive Avenue (Project 23- 2230-CUP/CDP)
The Commission unanimously granted (4-0, Allen absent) approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Coastal Development Permit to allow an interior and exterior remodel with structural alterations of an existing 716 square foot legal nonconforming residence. The project would not result in any changes to the size or location of the residence, nor would it substantially alter the physical appearance of the structure. The residence is legal nonconforming with respect to its partial location with the street-side and rear setbacks, and a lack of onsite covered parking.
o Monte Vista Off-Leash Dog Park Pilot Project (Project 23-2261-TUP) The Commission granted approval on a split 3-1 vote (La Fevers dissent; Allen absent) of a Temporary Use Permit to allow an off-leash dog park pilot project for up to one year to be located in the City’s Monte Vista Park. The off-leash dog area would be enclosed with a fenced area of approximately 14,400 square feet located in the southeast corner of the park, adjacent Pandanus Street. While a number of dog park advocates spoke in favor of the proposed park, several neighbors raised concerns about increased parking demands in the area and potential nuisance impacts for nearby residents and other park users.Ultimately, the Commission’s adopted motion included the following revisions to the project Conditions of Approval:
• Condition no. 2 was revised to require the final design details for the park to be reviewed and approved by the City Council and/or the City Manager or his designee. This revision came at the request of the City’s legal counsel to address design immunity considerations related to the park design and construction.
• Condition no. 3 was added to require the off-leash dog park pilot project to be returned to the Planning Commission after six months of operation to allow the Commission to review the efficacy of the pilot 4 project, and if needed, consider modifying or amending the project conditions of approval to address any issues that are identified during the first six months of operation. The Commission also reserved the right to revoke the TUP at the six-month review hearing if they find that any resultant public nuisances or land use incompatibilities cannot be satisfactorily addressed through permit conditions, park rules and/or code compliance efforts.

The motion carried unanimously.

13. Adoption of Ordinance No. 772, amending various sections within Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 2.08 (City Manager) to align with law and practice.

Recommendation: Adopt Ordinance No. 772 (second reading). (This motion requires a roll call vote.)
City Manager Durflinger presented the staff report and noted that typically second readings of ordinances would appear on the Consent Calendar; however, there is an option for the Council to reconsider the provisions in proposed Ordinance No. 772. He stated that at the previous Council meeting, the Council determined the maximum distance from the city that the city manager is required to reside is 30 miles and the city manager has 90 days from their appointment to establish a residence. He explained concerns with limiting the city manager to 90 days to relocate within the 30 mile limit of the city. He asked the Council to reconsider that provision which is a substantive change to the ordinance and if the Council accepted, would require the ordinance to be sent back to first reading at a future meeting. He also suggested a one year time frame for the city manager to relocate or a minimum amount of six months.

There was no public comment.

Legal Counsel Acos said if Council does have this Ordinance return for first reading at a future meeting to change the required time frame for the city manager to establish a residence, she suggested adding additional flexibility to this provision to include that the distance and number of days to comply can be changed by statement or by a provision City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
October 23, 2023

Page 7 ends

in a particular employment agreement and also by a resolution of the Council to give the City Council additional leeway in case something were to happen with a particular city manager.

The Council deliberated.

Motion by Councilmember Nomura, seconded by Councilmember Lee, to bring Ordinance No. 772 back for first reading at a future meeting to consider the maximum distance from the City that the city manager is required to reside and the time frame the city manager has from their appointment to establish a residence with the recommended maximum distance of 30 miles from the City and the time frame the city manager has from their appointment to establish residence at six months.

Legal Counsel Acos inquired if Councilmember Nomura wished to amend the motion to add the provision to allow the Council additional flexibility to change these requirements by resolution.

Councilmember Nomura modified the motion to bring Ordinance No. 772 back for first reading at a future meeting to consider the maximum distance from the City that the city manager is required to reside and the time frame the city manager has from their appointment to establish a residence with the recommended maximum distance of 30 miles from the City and the time frame the city manager has from their appointment to establish residence at six months and add the provision to allow the Council additional flexibility to change these requirements by resolution. Councilmember Lee seconded the modified motion.

The roll call vote on the modified motion was as follows:

AYES: Councilmember Lee, Councilmember Nomura, Councilmember Solórzano, Vice Mayor Alarcon, and Mayor Clark
NOES: None

COMMITTEE REPORTS, INQUIRIES AND OTHER MATTERS PRESENTED BY

COUNCILMEMBERS
Councilmember Solórzano reported on her attendance at the Central Coast Sustainability Summit at UCSB where there was a presentation on building electrification and a session on engaging linguistically and culturally appropriate sustainability outreach in partnership with Promotores of Santa Barbara County. She spoke on the recent Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District Board meeting where discussion centered on cloud-based transit signal priority software and the California Energy Commission’s Blueprints for Medium Heavy Duty Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure and other MTD related projects and announced the hiring of eight new bus operators. She also commented that the South Coast Youth Safety Partnership Policy Team met earlier this month where Sheriff’s Deputy Bryan Dickey presented safety statistics for the City of Carpinteria and there was discussion from County law enforcement stakeholders about how to maintain the lower level of gang activity and continue to work on intervention methods through the education system.

Councilmember Nomura mentioned the outstanding work the Sheriffs’ Department has done.

Mayor Clark reported on a recent SBCAG Board meeting where discussion centered on LOSSAN’s efforts to have more commuter train service in the morning to get people to work on time.

Councilmember Nomura asked if Public Works could report at each Council meeting about capital projects coming up and in progress. City Manager Durflinger responded that a capital projects status report could be added to the City Manager’s Report at each Council meeting. The Council was in agreement.

ATTENDANCE OF COUNCILMEMBERS FOR FUTURE MEETINGS
All Councilmembers are expected to be in attendance at the November 13th regular City Council meeting.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
November 13, 2023

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Consider canceling the regular City Council meeting of December 25, 2023.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the cancelation of the regular City Council meeting of December 25, 2023.

Sample Motion: I move to authorize the cancelation of the regular City Council meeting of December 25, 2023.

BACKGROUND
The City Council holds its regular meeting on the second and fourth Mondays of every month.

The exception is when the meeting date lands on a City observed holiday then the meeting is held the same hour and place on the next succeeding day thereafter which is not a holiday. The City Council has the authority to establish meeting dates and times and to reschedule or cancel such meetings with proper and timely public notice (CMC 2.04.010, GC §54954). Traditionally, the City Council has canceled the second regular City Council meeting in December due to a light agenda and/or vacation schedules associated with the Christmas and New Year's holidays.

In addition to Christmas Day and New Year's Day, the City observes the day before or after Christmas Day and the day before or after New Year's Day as legal holidays. At its meeting of January 9, 2023, the City Council approved the following holiday schedule for December as a part of its approval of the 2023 Holiday Schedule (Resolution No. 6184).

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
November 13, 2023

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Approval and adoption of Resolution No. 6273, authorizing the City to apply for California Department of Resources, Recycling and Recovery grant programs.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve and adopt Resolution No. 6273, authorizing the City to apply for California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery grant programs, and authorizing the City Manager or their designee to execute related grant program documents.

Sample Motion: I move to approve and adopt Resolution No. 6270, as read by title only.

BACKGROUND
The California Department of Resources, Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) administers funding programs in order to assist jurisdictions with implementing various recycling and diversion programs mandated by state law. The state grant programs, for example, help cities to implement the organic waste and food recovery requirements of Senate Bill (SB) 1383, provide for convenient beverage container recycling and litter abatement projects, and recycle used oil.

CalRecycle administers both competitive and non-competitive grant programs that fund the City's environment programs. These grant programs offer fixed amounts of funding based on population. For example, the City currently receives $5,000 annually from the Oil Payment Program, which pays for staff overtime hours to operate both of the City's Used Oil Center and Anti-freeze, Battery, Oil, Paint (ABOP) disposal services. The City/County Payment Program disperses $5,000 each cycle that supports operating costs of the City's recycling programs, including recycling containers for businesses and multi-family programs, capacity building, and installation of trash capture devices in storm drains. The City is required to use these funds within two years of each annual allocation.

In Fiscal Year 2023-2024, the City received $21,297 from the Senate Bill 1383 grant program to fund personnel, training, materials, and public outreach related to the implementation of the new organic waste regulations. This grant recently reopened for a Resolution No. 6273, Authorizing the City to apply for CalRecycle Grant Programs November 13, 2023

Page 2 ends

second funding cycle and the City is expected to receive approximately $75,000. The City will primarily use these funds for capacity building in order to continue public outreach and education programs necessary for implementation of the state's solid waste diversion requirements.

The purpose of this agenda matter is to approve and adopt Resolution No. 6270, authorizing the City to apply for CalRecycle grant programs, and the City Manager to execute related grant program documents.

DISCUSSION
The City regularly receives funds from various CalRecycle grant programs. These include the Oil Payment Program; City/County Payment Program, which is also known as the Beverage Container Grant; and the newly launched SB 1383 grant program. In order to continue to apply for all CalRecycle funded programs, the City is required to adopt a resolution with updated authorization provisions that comply with CalRecycles funding program guidelines. The proposed Resolution No. 6273, as shown as Attachment A, incorporates the updated authorization provisions.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
Continuing to fund programs that educate the community and provide convenient disposal options is consistent with the City's Sustainable Community Policy (Resolution No. 5500).

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City budgets each year for the Oil Payment Program and Beverage Container Program funding, which is incorporated into the 2023/24 budget. Funding related to the subjects 1383 CalRecycle grant program is not a part of the current year budget. If awarded, the grant monies will be a part of the 24/25 fiscal year budget.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The recommendation is consistent with the regulatory requirements of CalRecycle grant programs. Adequately funding public education programs to encourage compliance with state laws reduces the risk of the City falling out of compliance with state mandated waste diversion and recycling targets.

OPTIONS

1. Approve and adopt Resolution 6273, authorizing the City to apply for CalRecycle grant programs, and authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute related grant program documents.

2. Do not approve the resolution and direct staff as determined appropriate. Should the City Council not approve and adopt a resolution that complies with the Resolution No. 6273, Authorizing the City to apply for CalRecycle Grant Programs November 13, 2023

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
November 13, 2023

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Approve and authorize for the Mayor's signature a letter to the County of Santa Barbara advocating for the use of carbon filtration technology to address cannabis odors impacting the residential, educational and recreational areas of the City.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve and authorize for the Mayor's signature a letter to the County of Santa Barbara (Attachment A)
Sample Motion: I move to approve and authorize the Mayor to sign and transmit a letter to the County of Santa Barbara advocating for the use of carbon filtration technology to address commercial cannabis odors.

BACKGROUND
At the City Council meeting of October 9, 2023, Councilmember Lee requested that staff provide an update on the recent adoption of carbon filtration odor control technologies in several cannabis cultivation operations in the Carpinteria Valley, and for the City Council to consider sending a letter to the County of Santa Barbara ("County") to designate the use of activated carbon filtration as the sole best available control technology (BACT) to mitigate nuisance cannabis odors within the Carpinteria Valley.

The Council agreed to this request and directed staff to return to a future meeting with additional information.

DISCUSSION
Since significant commercial cannabis activities began in the Carpinteria Valley in 2016, the City has received numerous complaints about malodors and related health concerns from commercial cannabis cultivation facilities bordering Carpinteria and has strongly advocated for the most stringent odor control regulations possible.

Comment Letter to County of Santa Barbara
November 13, 2023-

Page 2 ends

On February 6, 2018, the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors certified a Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) that analyzed the environmental impacts of the Cannabis Land Use Ordinance and Licensing Program (Program). The Board of Supervisors (Board) found that feasible mitigation measures (MM AQ-5) had been incorporated into the Cannabis Land Use Ordinance and Licensing Program to reduce the significant environmental effects identified in the PEIR to the maximum extent feasible. These mitigation measures were intended to be implemented during project review to mitigate project-specific and cumulative impacts related to air quality, including nuisance odors, to the maximum extent feasible. However, even with these mitigation measures in place, the Board found that impacts related to exposure of sensitive receptors to objectionable odors (Impact AQ-5) would remain significant and unavoidable (i.e., a "Class I" impact).

MM AQ-5 requires that cannabis licensees implement feasible Odor Abatement Plans (OAPs) subject to the review and approval of the County. The County's current Article II Coastal Zoning Ordinance ("CZO") development standards incorporate the requirements for cannabis odor control (Section 35-144U(C)(6)(e)) and list a variety of odor control treatments as best available control technologies (BACT), including the use of "vapor phase" and carbon filtration technologies. The CZO cannabis odor control development standard states, in part:

A Professional Engineer or a Certified Industrial Hygienist must review and certify that the equipment and methods to be used for reducing odors are consistent with accepted and available industry-specific best control technologies and methods designed to mitigate odor (emphasis added).

From the beginning, the City has strongly advocated for the County to require the use of BACT when considering approval of commercial cannabis operations in compliance with the CZO regulations. However, over time it has become clear that not all of the approved odor control systems are successful at suitably mitigating odors. The County's regulation of nuisance odors from cannabis operations has not been sufficient because the impacts on the public remain significant. So significant, in fact, that in response to the ongoing complaints of City residents and other members of the public that it had received, the City Council held several meetings in 2019 and 2020 to take public testimony on the issue. Ultimately, the Council acted to adopt resolutions and send letters to the County, and other agencies with regulatory oversight over cannabis operations, to strongly advocate for an adequate response to the public concerns being raised, which included requiring adequate odor control systems.

Given the plain language of the County's OAP Development Standards and consistent with recent County approvals of cannabis operations that require the use of activated carbon filtration ("carbon scrubbers"), these technologies are now the de facto industry standard "best control technologies and methods designed to mitigate odor".

Considering the County EIR found that impacts from objectionable odors will not be fully mitigated and will remain significant and unavoidable, a County determination that all future County approvals of cannabis operations use activated carbon filtration to Comment Letter to County of Santa Barbara
November 13, 2023

Page 3 ends

mitigate objectionable odors, can be found consistent with the County's Cannabis OAP Development Standards. In addition, considering the ongoing nuisance odors from existing cannabis operations concentrated in the Carpinteria Valley, there is a strong basis for the County to retroactively require installation of activated carbon filtration at existing cannabis operations in order to address the significant and unavoidable impacts of cannabis odors more comprehensively.

In the absence of any planned amendments by the County to the Article II CZO cannabis odor abatement plan requirements, the proposed letter (Attachment A) supports the exercise of discretion by County decision-makers and staff to determine that carbon filtration should be currently designated as the sole best available control technology to mitigate nuisance cannabis odors.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
From time-to-time the City Council may determine that it is in the City's interest to request certain actions by other public agencies and/or to work cooperatively with other agencies in order to most effectively address a matter(s) of interest to the Carpinteria community.

Concerning Cannabis Odor Abatement Plans

Honorable Das Williams, Chair
Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors
c/o Clerk of the Board
105 E. Anapamu Street, Room 407
Santa Barbara, CA 93101
Re: Cannabis Odor Control Best Available Control Technology (BACT) Determination Honorable Chair Williams:

As you are aware, the City has in the past provided comment to both the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission ("Planning Commission") and Board of Supervisors ("Board") on the ongoing impacts and land use compatibility conflicts occurring as a result of the proliferation of commercial cannabis activities in the Carpinteria Valley. Chief among these concerns has been the persistent presence of malodors impacting the residential, educational and recreational areas of the City located in close proximity to the numerous commercial cannabis cultivation facilities bordering Carpinteria.

Dating back to at least 2017, the City has advocated for the most stringent odor control regulations possible, including requiring the use of the best available odor control technology at the time. Beginning in 2020, with the initial rollout of nascent carbon filtration technology optimized for use in vented greenhouses in select Carpinteria Valley cultivation facilities, the City has monitored general trends to gauge the efficacy of this new technology. In the years since, as carbon filtration technology has been adopted by more of the growers, it has become clear that carbon filtration stands above other odor control technologies as being most effective in consistently reducing the escape of cannabis odors into surrounding areas. Accordingly, the City of Carpinteria ("City") strongly urges the County of Santa Barbara ("County") to designate the use of activated carbon filtration as currently being the sole best available control technology (BACT) to mitigate nuisance cannabis odors within the Carpinteria Valley.

The County's current Article II Coastal Zoning Ordinance ("CZO") development standards for cannabis odor control (Section 35-144U(C)(6)(e)) list a variety of odor control treatments as BACT, including the use of "vapor phase" technologies. Based on experience with the use of vapor phase systems in the Carpinteria Valley over the past nearly seven years, it has become clear that such systems are inadequate by themselves to prevent nuisance odors from escaping and affecting neighboring residents and uses. The CZO development standard states, in part:
5775 CARPINTERIA AVENUE• CARPINTERIA, CA 93013-2603
(805) 684-5405 • FAX (805) 684-5304
www.CarpinteriaCA.gov
A Professional Engineer or a Certified Industrial Hygienist must review and certify that the equipment and methods to be used for reducing odors are consistent with accepted and available industry-specific best control technologies and methods designed to mitigate odor (emphasis added).

We note that in several recent applications for cultivation operations in the Carpinteria Valley that have been considered by the Planning Commission and Board, the use of carbon filtration has been required or upheld, and we support and encourage County decision-makers and staff to continue to do so. Given the increasing adoption of carbon filtration amongst recently considered cannabis cultivation applications, and resultant improvements in air quality (related to odors), it is our opinion that carbon filtration alone should be considered as the sole BACT when considering applications for new cannabis operations or when reviewing existing cannabis operations for compliance with CZO regulations.

As the City has referenced in our previous comment letters, and as required by the current CZO odor control development standard, we encourage the County to require the use of carbon filtration as the sole best available control technology for newly proposed cannabis operations, and similarly encourage the County to require previouslypermitted cannabis cultivation operations to upgrade existing odor controi systems that are not compliant with this standard.

We appreciate the Board's consideration of this request and we encourage the Board to clarify to decision-makers, staff and current operators that carbon filtration is the only viable technology to reasonably mitigate the impact of nuisance odors.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
November 13, 2023

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Adoption of Ordinance No. 772 amending various sections in Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 2.08 ("City Manager") to align with law and practice.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 772, amending Chapter 2.08 to remove the residency requirement and appeal rights for the City Manager (first reading as read by title only).

Sample Motion: I move to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 772, amending Chapter

2.08 to remove the residency requirement and appeal rights for the City Manager, and continue this item to the November 27, 2023 Council Meeting for second reading and adoption.

BACKGROUND
In anticipation of the installation of a new City Manager, staff recommends revising certain outdated provisions in Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 2.08, governing the City Manager position. The City's employment counsel, Liebert Cassidy Whitmore suggested these amendments and the City Attorney's Office agrees with these recommendations.

On October 9, 2023, the City Council determined the maximum distance from the City that the city manager is required to reside is 30 miles and the time frame the city manager has from their appointment to establish a residence is 90 days. At the City Council's subsequent meeting on October 23, 2023, however, Council expressed concern with the 90 day timeframe and requested staff to amend the proposed ordinance to provide 180 days for a city manager to reside within the agreed upon distance. The City Council also requested the addition of language authorizing the Council to change the distance or timeframe by resolution. These terms are included in the attached Ordinance No. 772 for Council's consideration. Additionally, because the requested amendment was substantive in nature, Ordinance No. 772 is returning for Council's consideration at this meeting for a first reading.

DISCUSSION
The draft Ordinance No. 772 includes two changes to Chapter 2.08: (1) amending the City Manager residency requirement to accord with State law, and (2) eliminating an appeal right to dismissal, which is contrary to the at-will nature of the City Manager's employment. 26112899.4
Adoption of Ordinance No. 772 -Amending CMC Chapter 2.08 November 13, 2023

Page 2 ends

Amending the Residency Requirement
CMC Section 2.08.030 ("Residency Requirements") currently provides as follows: "Residence in the city at the time of appointment shall not be required as a condition of appointment; provided, however, that within twelve months after the appointment of the city manager, he shall establish his residence in the city, unless such time is extended by resolution of the city council." Article XI § 1 0(b) of the California Constitution and Government Code §50083, however, prohibit local agencies from requiring their employees to reside within the boundaries of the particular agency; the former, however, does permit employees "be required to reside within a reasonable and specific distance of their place of employment or other designated location." This prohibition also bars residency requirements applied to applicants for public agency employment.

It is common practice for local agencies to require public safety personnel, such as police officers and fire fighters, to live near their agency, under the premise that the restriction ensures rapid emergency response. The same may be true of a city manager, who is often the designated Director of Emergency Services.
1 Other legitimate objectives for a residency
requirement include enhancement of the quality of employee performance by greater personal knowledge of the city's conditions and by a feeling of greater personal stake in the city's progress, as well as diminution of absenteeism and tardiness among municipal personnel.2 In light of State law, it is proposed that the title for Section 2.08.030 be changed to "Residency," and the substance of the section be amended to read as follows:
"Residence in the city shall not be required as a condition of appointment, but the city manager shall establish residence within 30 miles of the city within 180 days of appointment unless, by resolution, the city council establishes a different reasonable and specific distance from the city and/or time period to establish residency. Thereafter, the city manager shall maintain a residence within the specified distance." Beyond legal requirements, because local housing prices not only within the City's jurisdictional limits, but throughout south Santa Barbara County may be a hurdle for the recruitment and retention of a new City Manager, the language proposed above allows the Council to be as restrictive as it desires, while also carving out discretion that may be exercised on a case-bycase basis.

As examples from other jurisdictions, the City of Palos Verdes Estates (municipal code Section

2.08.020) and the City of Sonoma (municipal code Section 2.08.020) both require the city manager to live within 10 miles from the City, but afford the Council a similar flexibility that is in the suggested amendment.

In deciding on a distance to insert in the recommended amendment, the following may be considered. The distance from Carpinteria City Hall to the outer limits of various neighboring cities are as follows:
• Goleta (measured to Bacara Resort): 26. 7 miles (approximately 30 minute drive) • Ventura (measured to Azahar Park): 25 miles (~30 minute drive) • Oxnard (measured to Haas Automation): 27.2 miles(~ 30 minute drive) 1 In the City, the City Manager acts as the designated Director of Emergency Services. 2 See 77 Ops Cal Atty Gen 170 (1994).

Adoption of Ordinance No. 772 - Amending CMC Chapter 2.08 November 13, 2023

Page 3 ends

• Camarillo (measured to Quito Park): 36.5 miles (~35-50 minute drive) • Buellton (measured to Alder Ln): 51.1 miles (~1 hour drive) Delete the Right to Appeal Dismissal
CMC Sections 2.08.070 to 2.08.100 provide the city manager with a right to appeal his or her dismissal. This is not only unusual, but contrary to the at-will nature of city employment. For this reason, it is recommended that Section 2.08.070 be amended to remove mention of the right, and Sections 2.08.080 to 2.08.100 be removed altogether because they discuss the hearing process.

Section 2.08.070 is recommended to be edited as follows (strikethrough indicates deletion; underline indicates additional text):

2.08.070 - Agreement for administrative services and removal authorized.

Pursuant to the employment of the city manager, the city council and the city manager shall enter into an agreement, in writing, agreeable to both parties which shall set forth the conditions of employment and an agreement of termination; provided, however, that such agreement shall not be contrary to those stipulations established in this chapter.

The removal of the city manager shall be only upon a three member vote of the whole council in a regular council meeting, subject, however, to the provisions of Sections

2.08.080 through 2.08.100, and the decision shall be final.

Sections 2.08.080 through 2.08.100, which are recommended for deletion, provide as follows:

2.08.080 - Removal-Hearing.

Within seven days after the delivery to the city manager of such notice, he may, by written notification to the mayor, request a hearing before the city council. Thereafter, the city council shall fix a time for the hearing which shall be held at its usual meeting place, but before the expiration of the thirty-day period, at which the city manager shall appear and be heard, with or without counsel.

2.08.090 - Removal-Suspension pending hearing.

After furnishing the city manager with written notice of intended removal by resolution of the council subsequent to the hearing as provided in Section 2.08.080, the city manager shall be suspended from further duties.

2.08.100 - Removal-Discretion of council.

In removing the city manager, the city council shall use its uncontrolled discretion and its action shall be final and shall not depend upon any particular showing or degree of proof at the hearing, the purpose of which is to allow the city manager to present to the city council his grounds of opposition to his removal prior to its action.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The proposed amendment is consistent with the City's interest in ensuring its policies and practices are consistent with applicable federal and state laws.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
November 13, 2023

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
First Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments for Carpinteria Circulation Improvements Funds.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Mayor to sign the First Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments for Carpinteria Circulation Improvements Funds.

Sample Motion: I move to authorize the Mayor to sign the First Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments for Carpinteria Circulation Improvements Funds.

BACKGROUND
In November 2008, voters in Santa Barbara County approved Measure A, which extends for 30 years the one-half percent sales tax for transportation purposes.

Measure A is administered by the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG). Measure A contains a strategic spending plan that includes regional projects as well as local programs and projects that will address the current and future needs of each community. The strategic spending provides funding to local agencies for street maintenance, transportation improvements, pedestrian accessibility and connectivity, safe routes to school, and bicycle and transit facilities.

The City currently receives an annual, population-based formula funding allocation of approximately $760,000 per year. This allocation partially funds the Street Maintenance Program. Other funding for the Street Maintenance Program comes from Gas Tax, Right-of-Way Assessment Fund, Measure X Fund, and grants. The City is also eligible to receive up to $1 million for Carpinteria Circulation Improvements per the Measure A Investment Plan. Circulation improvements must involve transportation safety or First Amendment to Cooperative Agreement with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments November 13, 2023

Page 2 ends

operational improvements. In accordance with the Measure A Investment Plan requirements, a Cooperative Agreement must be executed between SBCAG and the local agency for any expenditure of the Carpinteria Circulation Improvements Funds.

In January, 2020, the City's Public Facility Site Acquisition/Development Committee reviewed a candidate project list prepared by the Public Works Department and derived from the City's Capital Improvement Program and unique capital improvement needs associated with the Highway 101 improvement projects, and that could qualify for the Measure Funding. The Committee selected the Linden Avenue Improvements Project for recommendation of approval and funding to the City Council.

On May 13, 2020, the SBCAG South Coast Subregional Planning Committee recommended for the approval of the Cooperative Agreement to the SBCAG Board. On May 21, 2020, The SBCAG Board approved the Cooperative Agreement. On May 26, 2020, the City Council authorized the Mayor to sign the original Cooperative Agreement with SBCAG. For reference, a copy of the Cooperative Agreement is shown as Attachment A.

The purpose of this agenda matter is to authorize the Mayor to sign the First Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement with SBCAG in order to continue receiving Carpinteria Circulation Improvements Funds, especially for the Linden Avenue Improvements Project- Carpinteria Avenue to Linden Avenue Overcrossing.

DISCUSSION
The Linden Avenue Improvements Project is located on Linden Avenue between Carpinteria Avenue and the Linden Avenue Overcrossing. The general scope of work includes sidewalks, curbs, gutters, parkways, street trees, driveway approaches, and bike lanes. The purpose of this project is to complete street and right-of-way improvements in support of public safety, including, in particular, bicycle and pedestrian safety, and to improve the appearance of a section of the Linden Avenue corridor that serves as a gateway to the Downtown "T" commercial district.

The Cooperative Agreement defines the project scope of work, roles and responsibilities of the City and SBCAG, and funding plan. The project is in the Revised Measure A FiveYear Local Program of Projects with funds programmed in Fiscal Year 2023-24, as adopted by the City Council on May 22, 2023 (Resolution No. 6243). The proposed First Amendment, shown as Attachment B, extends the period of performance for use of Carpinteria Circulation Improvements Funds. No other changes or revisions are proposed to the Cooperative Agreement. On August 17, 2023, the SBCAG Board approved the First Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement.

Due to the pandemic, from 2020 to 2021 the project schedule experienced delay. The revised project schedule estimates the following milestones:

Construction

February 2024
March 2024 through June 2024
The total project cost is estimated to be $326,430 and is included in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Capital Improvements Program Budget. While the City will initially pay for project expenses, SBCAG will fully reimburse the City up to the project cost estimate in accordance with the Cooperative Agreement. The Cooperative Agreement states in Section 1.11.c that if the actual project cost exceeds the estimated $326,430, the City will seek approval from SBCAG for the additional cost and execute an Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement. The current balance of the Carpinteria Circulation Improvements Funds is $1,000,000. Expenditure from the Fund for the estimated project cost will result in a ending balance of $673,570. The City will have the opportunity to use any remaining balance for any project costs exceeding the estimate and/or other qualifying circulation improvement projects.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The recommendation is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policy statements in the Circulation Element of the General Plan/Local Coastal Plan. The recommendation is also consistent with the SBCAG Regional Active Transportation Plan.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Approval of the amended Agreement will allow for the City to receive funding for qualifying circulation improvement projects. Authorization to incur expenses related to the Linden Avenue Improvements Project will occur at a later date with Council's awarding of the construction contract.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The recommendation is in accordance with the Measure A Investment Plan requirements.

OPTIONS

1. Authorize the Mayor to sign the First Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments for Carpinteria Circulation Improvements Funds.

2. The City Council could choose not to approve the recommendation and direct staff as appropriate. Not approving the amended Agreement would delay the Linden Avenue Improvements Project and/or jeopardize its completion.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
November 13, 2023

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Authorization for the City Manager to execute Agreements with: 1.) Bureau Veritas North America, Inc.; and 2.) True North Compliance Services, to provide consulting building plan check and inspection staff augmentation services for the City's Building and Safety Division of the Community Development Department.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute Agreements with: 1.) Bureau Veritas North America, Inc.; and 2.) True North Compliance Services, to provide consulting building plan check and inspection staff augmentation services to the City's Building and Safety Division in respective amounts not-to-exceed $100,000 each.

Sample Motion: I move to authorize the City Manager to execute Agreements with: 1.) Bureau Veritas North America, Inc.; and 2.) True North Compliance Services, to provide consulting building plan check and inspection staff augmentation services to the City's Building and Safety Division in respective amounts not-to-exceed $100,000 each. (The motion requires a roll call vote.)

BACKGROUND
The Community Development Department's Building & Safety Division is staffed by the Chief Building Inspector and Plans Examiner, who is responsible for overseeing all necessary building permit plan checks and inspections, in addition to the ongoing dayto-day administration of the Division.

Recognizing this finite staff capacity, the Building and Safety Division has historically utilized third party consultant support for augmented plan review and inspection services when workload demand exceeds in-house staff capacity and for more complex project types (e.g., multi-family residential projects; large commercial buildings or extensive tenant improvements, etc.). Consultants are also used periodically to cover inspections when Building and Safety Staff are out of the office or otherwise Building Plan Check and Inspection Staff Augmentation Services Agreement November 13, 2023

Page 2 ends

unavailable. The ability to contract with a third party plan review and inspection firm allows the Building and Safety Division flexibility to manage varying workloads and responsibilities, and meet the diverse needs of the building community.

For the last 26 years, the City has contracted exclusively with Roy Harthorn, Building and Safety Code Consultant, to provide these third party plan check and inspection services to the City. Over this last summer, Mr. Harthorn informed the City he would be retiring, effective October 19, 2023, and phasing out any remaining ongoing plan check resubmittals until November 15, 2023. In light of Mr. Harthorn's planned retirement and to maintain the City's high level of customer service, there is an immediate need to contract with one or more firms to take over building plan check and inspection staff augmentation services.

DISCUSSION
The Building and Safety Division is seeking a consultant agreement with one or more firms for an initial term of three (3) years with one-year extension periods at the option of the City. The consulting services agreement will be administered by the Building and Safety Division and under the general supervision of the Community Development Director. The general scope of services includes staff augmenting the Chief Building Inspector/Plans Examiner in performing examination of plans, calculations, specifications, and reports for residential and commercial building (plumbing, mechanical, electrical, energy, green, structural, architectural, and accessibility) and code compliance inspection thereof.

In light of this being the first time in many years that the City has sought contract services from a third party plan check and inspection services consultant, staff thought it prudent to consider contracting with more than one firm for these services. In reviewing the practices of other local jurisdictions' building and safety divisions, staff has found that most jurisdictions have multiple such firms under contract at any given time. The benefits of this approach are many, and include having more than one firm to choose from to assign plan check or inspection duties, based on the expertise of each firm's staff; and workload availability to help manage turnaround times on plan checks or scheduling inspections. Contracting with multiple firms also allows the City the ability to evaluate and determine which firm(s) best work with city staff.

Consulting Agreement
As a best practice, staff typically conducts a qualifications-based selection (QBS) process as the basis of procuring professional or consulting services. QBS is a competitive, contract procurement process whereby consulting firms initially submit their qualifications, the proposed scope of work and schedule to the procuring entity, i.e., the City, which then evaluates and selects the most qualified firm and negotiates the consultant fee. The QBS process is consistent with California Government Code Section 4525 et al. for procuring professional or consulting services of private Building Plan Check and Inspection Staff Augmentation Services Agreement November 13, 2023

architectural, landscape architectural, professional engineering, environmental, land surveying, and construction project management firms.

In September 2023, staff issued a request for proposal (RFP) to provide building plan check and inspection staff augmentation services. In response to the RFP, staff received back initial proposals from four firms, and after reviewing and evaluating all four proposals, staff selected Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. and True North Compliance Services, as the two most qualified firms. These firms were selected as the most qualified based on the quality of their respective proposals, and their history and reputation for working well with local government. Copies of the proposals received from Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. and True North Compliance Services are included with this report as Attachment B (Bureau Veritas) and Attachment C (True North).

These proposals would serve as "Exhibit A" (Basic Services) to the City's standard Agreement for Consultant Services (Attachment A).

Following selection of Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. and True North Compliance Services as the two most qualified firms, staff requested cost proposals from both entities. Both consultants provided cost proposals that propose to charge 60% and 62%, respectively, of the City's total plan check fees for their review, which is comparable to the City's existing arrangement with Roy Harthorn. Both firms offer additional services at an hourly rate, as needed. Copies of the respective fee schedules are included with this report as Attachment D (Bureau Veritas) and Attachment E (True North), and would serve as "Exhibit B" (Payment Rates and Fee Schedule) to the City's standard consultant services agreement.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
Ensuring the provision of adequate plan check and inspection services to meet City needs is generally consistent with the policies of the Carpinteria General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan's Safety Element, which calls for the City to implement practices intended to reduce death, injuries, property damage, and the economic and social dislocation resulting from natural hazards. The described building and safety augmentation services can also help to further the goals and policies of the City's Housing Element, which call for the provision and rehabilitation of a safe housing supply for Carpinteria residents.

Ensuring the provision of adequate plan check and inspection services in support of the Building and Safety Division is also consistent with the City's police powers and regulatory authority to protect the public health, safety and welfare.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Each fiscal year, the City budgets for up to $100,000 for professional services designated for building plan check and inspection augmentation services. For the current 23-24 fiscal year, the remaining budgeted funds are approximately $90,761.65 as of October 31
st
. In future years, the total budgeted amount is expected to remain the Building Plan Check and Inspection Staff Augmentation Services Agreement November 13, 2023

Page 4 ends

same unless there are compelling reasons to adjust the budgeted amount (e.g., an anticipated plan check for one or more large, complex projects in the coming year).

As proposed, the City Manager would be authorized to enter into Agreements for up to $100,000 per consultant per year through fiscal year 25-26. While each contract would be authorized for up to $100,000 per year, City staff would monitor the professional services budget and adjust the use of third party consultants based on contract totals, workload, consultant availability and budget authority to ensure the most efficient and cost effective service possible for the building community while not exceeding the overall budgeted amount for plan check and inspection professional services. Should the Building and Safety Division require extended use of third party consultants in an amount that exceeds the annual professional services budget, staff would return to the Council with a budget amendment request.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The recommendation is consistent with the California Government Code Section 4525 et al. for procuring professional or consulting services.

OPTIONS

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute Agreements with: 1.) Bureau Veritas North America, Inc.; and 2.) True North Compliance Services, consulting building plan check and inspection staff augmentation services to the City's Building and Safety Division in respective amounts not-to-exceed $100,000 each. (Staff recommendation)

2. The City Council could choose to not approve the recommendation and direct staff as determined appropriate; however, non-action would delay execution of any contract for services.

PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING
There are no principal parties expected at the meeting.

Consultant acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to City in excess of the limits and coverage required in this agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, will be available to City.

Consultant shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:

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.

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.

When applicable, 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. The policy limit shall be no less than $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. The policy must "pay on behalf of' the insured and must include a provision establishing the insurer's duty to defend.

Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are admitted carriers in the state of California and with an A.M Bests rating of A- or better and a minimum financial size VII.

General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Consultant. Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Consultant:

I. 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, consistmg 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.
17 25176991.2

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.

10. 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.

11. Consultant agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self-insure its obligations to City. If Consultant's existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.

12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change.

If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.

13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.

14. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.

15. Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as City or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this Agreement. 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.

17. The provisions 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 25176991.2

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. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.

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.

Plan Review Turnaround Times
BV provides plan review activities on a fast-track basis to reduce the impact on project contraction schedules. Turnaround times for each submittal relate to the size and nature of the submittal and impact on the project construction schedule. To reduce turn around times for plan check, the firm uses electronic submittals, phased submittals, conference calling, video-conferencing, and visits by plan check staff to design offices of the engineer or architect.

a g Op OS t Digital plan check uses a software which
--~.._ _, presents customers with a convenient
alternative solution to printing and delivering paper plans to City offices at zero cost. This modern solution has become especially valuable as municipalities seek to continue service delivery to their communities while focusing on health and safety during the COVI0-19 crisis.

BV provides an alternative solution to traditional plan checking.

With goPost, BlueBeam, Adobe Acrobat, or other similar
software used by the City, our plan reviewers can quickly and accurately review plans for compliance with applicable codes.

Plans are submitted as PDF files via a secure and confidential FTP site. These plans are then reviewed by our personnel who are able to place comments and redlines directly on the plans, corresponding to areas needing revisions.

Redlined plans with comments are then forwarded to, or
placed on the secure FTP site for the designers, engineers, and architects. The City also has access to the FTP site. Plans can then be revised and resubmitted via the same method described. If all items were resolved, hard copy plans are sent to BV for approval stamps and signatures.

Clients who have a plan review going through the on line process are able to see where their plans are in the review process, ask questions, receive comments, submit updates, and more.

Bluebeam goPost accepts multiple file types, from AutoCAD to PDFs, Word, and more. Digital plan check has numerous advantages including, but not limited to, the following:

Eliminate the need to physically print and carry plans
to the City - Upload plans anytime from anywhere.
• Know project status at all times - Check where plans
are and find out when reviews are completed.
• Use the go Post on line portal to communicate with the review team -Ask and answer questions; make changes.

Reduce printing and courier costs - Checklist and
plan markup downloads make it easy to perform
corrections and resubmit documents on line.

Electronic plan submittal and commenting allows for
economical movement of plans and quick turnaround times.

Plans with comments can be viewed and discussed as needed to resolve issues quickly and efficiently.

BV has successfully implemented and utilized digital plan review in over 60 federal, state, and local agencies for multiple years.

Budget Controls and Billing Related
Quality Assurance - FLEX
Budget control is achieved by closely
monitoring work assignment labor and direct
expenses. Work reports must be completed by each individual and the labor hours must be approved by the project manager before being charged to the City of El Carpinteria. Similarly, expense reports and other direct expenses must be approved by the project manager prior to entering the cost data system.

To ensure optimal administration of the main functionalities of contract management and the facilitation of billing related quality assurance BV utilizes 1-'LlX, a software developed by J.D. Edwards World Solution Company. FLEX is a reference repository which is comprised of all billing and contractual information (invoices, work assignments, expenses, labor reports, project reports, etc.). This state of the art system assists BV in implementing and maintaining a number of budget and cost control processes which:
• Ensures data integrity and allows for a
flexible and secure billing process
• E11hances billing efficiency and productivity
Minimizes revenue leakage by monitoring
its sources through control reports
FLEX ensures contract and budget control via standardized features and alignment of project information in real time.

Additionally, the system is designed to promote contract follow up from project outset to closing which helps to establish and maintain optimal communication.

Special Issues/Problems
When deficiencies or out-of-control situations exist, the QC Program provides systematic procedures, called corrective actions, to resolve problems and restore proper functioning to the sampling and /or analytical system or field operations.

Periodically, a QC System audit is performed to review the procedures implemented in the field for consistency with the established protocols. When issues arise, the BV project manager will immediately notify the City's manager so that they may be resolved at once.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
November 13, 2023

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Options for City of Carpinteria Legislative Advocacy

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the report and direct staff as determined appropriate.

Sample Motion:

I move to receive and file the report on the City's legislative advocacy process and options and (provide any direction to staff as determine appropriate).

BACKGROUND
From time-to-time the City Council elects to take positions on state or federal legislation.

As a part of each regular agenda, information from the League of California Cities (Cal Cities) is included in Council agenda materials and the Council has the opportunity to request that any legislative matter be scheduled for consideration as a part of a future Council agenda. Outside of a Council meeting, Councilmembers can individually contact the City Manager to request that a legislative matter be placed on an agenda for discussion and direction.

At its regular meeting of June 12, 2023, the City Council requested the opportunity to revisit options for how it takes positions on legislation and advocates for the interests of the Carpinteria community. This subject was last discussed by the Council at its meeting of July 12, 2021, where the Council received a report on options and no action was taken.

The purpose of this agenda matter is to allow the City Council to review the City's current legislative advocacy process and to consider alternatives.

DISCUSSION
The City currently relies almost entirely on recommendations from Cal Cities with regard to positions it takes on state and federal legislation (Attachment A). This is consistent with the City's history and limited staff and financial resources for advocacy work. Cal Legislative Advocacy Options
