In accordance with federal regulations, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) conducts inspections for the Carpinteria Avenue Bridge.

The Carpinteria Avenue Bridge is one of seven vehicular bridges maintained by the City. According to a bridge inspection report prepared by Caltrans in 2012, it is structurally deficient and hydraulically insufficient because it would not allow the 100-year flood, as currently defined, to pass under it.

The design (i.e. project approval, environmental document, and preliminary engineering), right-of-way (i.e. easement acquisitions and utility relocations), and construction phases of the project are programmed in the HBP. On August 26, 2024, the City Council received and filed the status of the Carpinteria Avenue Bridge Replacement Project and authorized the Public Works Director to advertise the Notice Inviting Bids for the clearing and grubbing work for the Carpinteria Avenue Bridge Replacement Project.

On November 25, 2024, the City Council awarded the construction contract to Mark , Inc. in the Total Base Bid amount of $120,000. On December 2, 2024, the Notice of Award was issued to Inc. to begin the process of executing the construction contract including furnishing the required performance bond, payment bond, and certificates of insurance and insurance endorsements. Staff confirmed the construction contract was fully executed and issued the Notice to Proceed to Mark . for starting construction on January 6, 2025.

The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to authorize the Mayor to sign the Closeout Agreement and Release of Claims for the Carpinteria Avenue Bridge Replacement Project- Clearing and Grubbing with , Inc; and authorize the City Manager to release the construction contract bonds after one year of acceptance of the work by the City in accordance with the warranty required by the construction contract.

DISCUSSION
The following table summarizes the breakdown of the funding sources for the total construction budget:

Funding Summary
Capital Improvement Projects Fund $132,000

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
February 10, 2025

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Agreement for Joint Use of Carpinteria Unified School District Athletic Facilities.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement for Joint Use of Carpinteria Unified School District Athletic Facilities.

2. Find that the execution of the Agreement for Joint Use of Carpinteria Unified School District Athletic Facilities is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

Sample Motion: I move to (1) approve the Agreement for Joint Use of Carpinteria Unified School District Athletic Facilities and (2) find that this is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

BACKGROUND
On October 25, 2004, the City and the Carpinteria Unified School District ( District ) entered into a 20-year Agreement for Joint Development and Use of New Outdoor Athletic of jointly developing and operating athletic facilities school campus. As further set forth in the 2004 Agreement and the Staff Report for that Agreement (Attachment C), the parties entered into the 2004 Agreement in part because y
Communities P , which provided grants for the acquisition and development of properties for active recreational purposes (i.e. soccer, baseball, football, etc.). The grant was available to local governments, but not school districts. Also, in order to have a successful grant application, the City had to have some connection to, or interest in, the property designated for the development. In light of all of this, the City and the District decided to partner together via the 2004 Agreement so that the City could apply for the grant funding and ultimately jointly develop Facilities with the District property. The parties intended that, if built, the Facilities would generally be available to 32311683.4
Agreement for Joint Use of Carpinteria Unified School District Athletic Facilities February 10, 2025

the District during normal school hours and to the public at large during non-school hours, unless the District desired to host District programming (e.g., sports practices) during nonschool hours.

From and after the execution of the 2004 Agreement, the City and the District pursued funding for the joint development of Facilities and continued to meet and plan for joint development. Then, on May 12, 2008, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Development of Carpinteria Middle School Site for Joint Recreational Use ( MOU ) with the District, through which the parties further defined and agreed on terms related to development of Facilities at the middle school, including project funding responsibilities, construction management and public bidding procedures (Attachment D). The 2008 MOU was designed to complement the 2004 Agreement and outlined that the City and District would work jointly develop property for community and educational use, through the construction of outdoor athletic facilities, including a jogging track, a turf field, basketball courts and tennis courts . The parties thereafter proceeded to construct a track, turf field, basketball courts, and tennis courts at the middle school.

Since the Facilities opened, the parties have jointly used the Facilities under the 2004 Agreement and 2008 MOU. However, due to rising safety concerns at schools, the District constructed a fence around the middle school track, field and basketball courts. Members of the public are currently unable to utilize the track, field and basketball courts due to the fencing. The tennis courts are also fenced but have two points of entry, one from the campus and the other from the parking lot. This allows the District to secure the campus while allowing members of the public to utilize the tennis courts during non-school hours and on school breaks. Simultaneously, the high school track, field and two half-court basketball courts remain open and accessible for use by the community, but no formal agreement outlining community access to these amenities has been created.

Given that the 2004 Agreement expired on October 25, 2024, the City and the District desire to enter into the Agreement for Joint Use of Carpinteria Unified School District Athletic Facilities Facilities at the middle
school. Additionally, the Agreement provides for joint use of the track, field and two halfcourt basketball courts , which helps mitigate the current unavailability of the track, field and basketball courts at the middle school. The use of the Carpinteria Community Pool by the District is outlined in a separate use agreement.

On January 27, 2025, the CUSD Joint Use Agreement was presented to the City Council as part of the consent calendar. The City Council requested that the item be removed and scheduled as a discussion item at a future meeting to allow for further review before approving the agreement. Staff was also directed to prepare a presentation on the Agreement (Attachment E) for the upcoming discussion.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
February 10, 2025

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Adopt Resolution No. 6366, Approving the Measure A Five-Year Local Program of Projects for Fiscal Years 2025-26 through 2029-30.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 6366, approving the Measure A Five-Year Local Program of Projects for Fiscal Years 2025-26 through 2029-30.

2. Authorize the Public Works Director to submit the Measure A Five-Year Local Program of Projects to the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments.

Sample Motion: I move to:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 6366, as read by tile only.

2. Authorize the Public Works Director to submit the Measure A Five-Year Local Program of Projects to the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments.

BACKGROUND
In 1989, voters in Santa Barbara County approved Measure D for a one-half percent sales tax to be used for transportation programs and projects. In November 2008, voters in Santa Barbara County approved Measure A that extended the one-half percent sales tax for 30 years. Measure A contains a strategic spending plan that includes regional projects as well as local programs and projects funded by monthly allocations to each local agency. Measure A requires each local agency to annually prepare a Measure A FiveYear Local Program of Projects for submittal to the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG).

The purpose of this agenda matter is to allow the City Council to consider and approve the Measure A Five-Year Local Program of Projects for submittal to SBCAG.

Measure A Five-Year Local Program of Projects for Fiscal Years 2025-26 to 2029-30 February 10, 2025

DISCUSSION
The Measure A Program (Measure A) is administered by SBCAG in which the City of Carpinteria is a member agency. Measure A
Five-Year Local Program of Projects (Program) must be presented in a public hearing and adopted by resolution prior to its submittal to SBCAG.

Measure A funds may only be spent on qualifying programs and projects that are described in the Program. Measure A also requires a Maintenance of Effort (MOE) expenditure by the local agencies. The MOE expenditure, which is calculated and updated by SBCAG on an annual basis, requires each local agency to match Measure A expenditures with other discretionary non-Measure A funds for transportation programs and projects. To meet this requirement and receive Measure A funds, the City must spend at least $172,181 from discretionary non-Measure A sources of funds to match the Fiscal Year 2024-25 MOE. The match expense is allocated from the Measure X Fund as the discretionary, non-Measure A source of funds. fiscal budget, which was approved by City Council in June 2024, ensures the Measure A match requirement will be met.

Measure A also requires a minimum percentage of each local Street and Transportation funds to be spent on eligible Alternative Transportation minimum percentage for Alternative Transportation is 10- percent. This percentage is a cumulative calculation and must be met or exceeded by the fifth year of the Program and every fifth year thereafter. Fiscal Year 2024-25 is the fifth program year in the current five-year period. The Alternative Transportation requirements are tracked on an annual basis through an audit process. ve years of the
Program (Fiscal Year 2010-11 through Fiscal Year 2014-15) was 28.11-percent of the funds allocation.

Transportation spending through the second five-year period (Fiscal Year 2015-16 through Fiscal Year 2019-20) was 14.94-percent
Transportation funds allocation.

Staff anticipates exceeding the minimum 10-percent Alternative Transportation spending requirement for the current five-year Program period. Staff also estimates current Alternative Transportation spending to be approximately 20-percent of total allocation through Fiscal Year 2023-24. Finally, staff anticipates the following alternative transportation projects would
within the next fiscal year:

1. Franklin Creek Trail Improvement Project. The project includes accessible surfacing, safety fencing, and adjacent accessibility improvements to and from Aliso Elementary School along Franklin Creek Trail between Carpinteria Avenue and Seventh Street and Ninth Street between Franklin Creek Trail and Holly Avenue.

2. Citywide sidewalk maintenance.

Measure A Five-Year Local Program of Projects for Fiscal Years 2025-26 to 2029-30 February 10, 2025

With the adoption of Resolution No. 6366, the Program would allocate Measure A funds to the Street Maintenance and Capital Improvements programs. Measure A funds pay for both staff and consultant/contractor costs associated with qualifying maintenance and capital project work. The proposed Program is shown as Attachment A.

Capital projects consist of projects included in the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) as well as projects that are considered capital maintenance. Capital maintenance projects are developed by the Public Works Department to address heavy maintenance needs such as curb, gutter, and sidewalk repairs, and pavement maintenance. These projects are typically included in the annual Public Works budget. Local public transit and alternative transportation projects are also qualifying expenditures for allocations under the Program.

Table 1 shows the past years total annual Measure D/Measure A1 revenues to the City including annual allocations and grants, City expenditures for public transit services (i.e.

Santa Barbara Metropolitan District, Easy Lift and Help of Carpinteria), and the annual availability of net revenue for City maintenance and operations. The table also reflects the net Measure D/Measure A allocations after expending money on public transit services expenses as well as Measure A grant monies received by the City. This is the amount available to address the Program and grant projects.

24/25 $0 $1,010,245 $0 $12,000 $5,430 $0 $992,815
Note: All amounts shown in table are actuals. FY 2017-2018 actual Measure A revenue of $910,479 is an anomaly due to a change in accounting accruals to record revenues earned in that fiscal year as compared with prior years.

Measure A also provides for competitive alternative transportation grants. The City must compete for the Measure A alternative transportation grants, and the call for grant proposals occurs about every two or three years. In 2022, the Public Works Department submitted Cycle 5 applications for both the Measure A Bicycle & Pedestrian and Safe Routes to School Grant programs towards the Franklin Creek Trail Improvement Project.

The City was awarded $275,188 in grant funds for this project. The City received a total of $1,338,155 in Measure A grants from the four previous cycles, which is an annual average of approximately $134,000. The competitive alternative transportation grants must be solely used for capital projects and not maintenance. The total estimated cost of the proposed Program exceeds the available annual allocation to the City of Measure A Program revenue.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The proposed Program is consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan and Local Coastal Plan. The recommendation is also consistent with and serves to implement CIP.

The adoption of the Measure A Five-Year Local Program of Projects is a requirement of Measure A as established by Ordinance No. 5 of the Santa Barbara County Local Transportation Authority. Adoption of the Program obligates the City to expend Measure A funds on the projects listed in the Program; however, the Program may be modified each year to reflect the changing priorities of the City Council. The Program may also be amended during a program year subject to the approval of the SBCAG Board of Directors.

Measure A funds are intended to be flexible, and adoption of the Program does not preclude the City from determining transportation priorities.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
In January 2025, SBCAG approved the five-year estimate of Measure A local apportionments in the amount of approximately $4,960,029 million and is shown in Resolution No. 6366 as Attachment A. The total Measure A revenue amount includes a projected carry-over fund balance of $1,515,157 from the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget for a total of $6,475,186.

Measure A Five-Year Local Program of Projects for Fiscal Years 2025-26 to 2029-30 February 10, 2025

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
As a funding source for the City infrastructure, Measure A revenue and related programming for use are critical to mitigating the liability exposure and protecting public welfare and safety.

OPTIONS

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
February 10, 2025

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
2024 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the 2024 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report.

Sample Motion: I move to receive and file the 2024 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report.

BACKGROUND
On January 9, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5355, establishing an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) policy to minimize pesticide use at City facilities, including buildings, parks, open spaces, and streets. The policy aims to reduce environmental and public health risks while allowing for pesticide use only in designated circumstances. It requires pesticide-free zones in park play structures and picnic areas, except in emergencies, and incorporates pest management strategies recommended by the University of California, Davis; the California Invasive Plant Council; and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation.

Key provisions of the IPM policy include:

1. Minimizing Pesticide Use Prioritizes non-chemical pest control methods such as habitat modification, eliminating food sources, mulching, manual weeding, and rodent trapping.

2. IPM Methodology Implements a systematic approach to pest control, emphasizing observation, identification, and monitoring for early intervention.

3. Pesticide-Free Zones Prohibits pesticide use in park play structures and picnic areas unless necessary for emergency response.

4. Use of Recognized Best Practices Aligns with pest management strategies from reputable sources, including UC Davis, the California Invasive Plant Council, and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation.

5. Environmental Protection Seeks to prevent contamination of soil, air, and water while protecting people, animals, and beneficial plants and insects. 2024 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report
February 10, 2025

6. Training Requirements Mandates training and continuing education for all personnel involved in pest management.

7. Interdepartmental Coordination Requires City departments and contractors to follow standardized procedures for pest control.

8. IPM Advisory Committee Establishes a nine-member advisory body with representatives from City departments, the Carpinteria Open Space Management Advisory Board, and community members to guide policy implementation and recommend amendments.

9. Public Outreach Promotes community awareness and education on pesticide reduction.

10. Public Notification Implements the Pesticide Hazard and Exposure Reduction (PHAER) Zone system to classify pesticides by toxicity (low/green, medium/yellow, high/red) and ensure effective public notification when pesticides are used.

The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to receive and file the 2024 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report.

DISCUSSION
The IPM policy requires year-round management including an annual report of any pesticide use, pest intervention options and tactics, and any recommendations for the ensuing year. Pursuant to the IPM policy, the 2024 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report is included as Attachment A. In brief, the 2024 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report discloses information about issues and control tactics regarding the following encountered pests:

Weed and invasive plants
Insects
Rodents
Since the adoption of the IPM policy, the City has disclosed any established pesticidefree zones as part of its ongoing implementation efforts. The 2024 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report does not include cost information; however, the costs associated with implementing the policy vary depending on the type of pest and the required management approach. Over time, the policy has proven effective in reducing or preventing public health risks, financial liabilities, and legal concerns related to environmental contamination and abatement. By prioritizing non-chemical pest management strategies, the City has minimized reliance on pesticides while maintaining effective pest control measures.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
The recommendation is consistent with the IPM policy.
2024 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report
February 10, 2025

for
The recommendation may be found consistent with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Phase II Municipal Small Separate Storm Sewer System Permit for stormwater quality.

The recommendation may also
part:

Government shall make judicious use of the City's limited resources to promote the highest possible quality of life for all of Carpinteria's residents. This includes providing services consistent with community needs as well as protecting the social and physical environment.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The implementation of the IPM policy is included in the City's existing budget; no additional funding is requested.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The recommendation is exempt from the environmental review requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.

Further, the recommendation is exempt from CEQA on the separate and independent ground that it is an action of a regulatory agency (i.e. City) for the protection of the environment because, among other things, it will regulate the use of chemical pesticides.

Thus, the recommendation is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA under Section 15308 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations as an action by a regulatory agency for the protection of the environment.

OPTIONS

1. Receive and file the 2024 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report. (Staff recommendation)

2. The City Council could choose to not approve the recommendation and direct staff as determined appropriate.

1 INTRODUCTION
On January 9, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5355, establishing an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) policy. The IPM policy is intended to manage pests by reducing or eliminating the use of pesticides at City facilities or improvements including buildings, grounds, open spaces, parks, and streets. The implementation of the IPM policy provides for long term beneficial effects on the overall public health. The IPM policy does not completely prohibit the use of pesticides. Rather, it requires the establishment of pesticide free zones where no pesticides are to be used within park play structures and picnic areas unless an emergency arises. The IPM policy references the use of pest control options and tactics from the University of California, Davis; California Invasive Plant Council; and California Department of Pesticide Regulation.

The IPM policy the following tenets:

Establishes the goal of reducing or eliminating the use of toxic pesticides through the use of common-sense princip of IPM. Use of IPM tactics, such as eliminating habitat, eliminat food sources, mulching, hand or mechanical weeding and rodent trapping, will be the first line of defense.

Establishes the use of IPM methodology for selecting the appropriate pest intervention options. Observation, identification and monitoring are three keys to early actions.

Commits the City to establish pesticide free zones where no pesticides will be used unless an emergency arises. These areas will include park play structures and picnic areas.

References the use of IPM tactics from reputable mainstream sources; specifically, the University of California at Davis, the California Invasive Plant Council and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation.

Avoids whenever possible the contamination of buildings, soil, air, and water and protects people, animals and beneficial plants and insects from toxic exposures.

Establishes the requirement that all personnel involved in pest management at the City receive training and continuing education on the use of pesticides.

Requires cooperation and communication between City departments and City Contractors by setting standard operating procedures for the control of pests.

Establishes an IPM Advisory Committee (IPMAC) with up to nine members that includes representation from the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department, Public Works Department, Carpinteria Open Space Management Advisory Board, and at least two at large community members that can make recommendations to the City Council on implementation and amendment of the IPM policy.

Establishes a public outreach and information program to help others in the community reduce the use of pesticides.

Establishes that effective public notification will be implemented when pesticides are used. The utilization of a Pesticide Hazard and Exposure Reduction (PHAER) Zone system is to be utilized to help accomplish the public notification objective. The PHAER Zone system also includes the creation of a 2 color metric pesticide list potentially used by the City which groups pesticides into three groups with low (green) medium (yellow) and high (red) toxicity.

The IPM policy requires year-round management including an annual report of any pesticide use, pest intervention options and tactics, and any recommendations for the ensuing year. Pursuant to the IPM policy, this report discloses information about issues and control tactics regarding the following encountered pests in year 2024:

Weed and invasive plants
Insects
Rodents
Copies of safety data sheets of pesticide products and list of trained personnel of administering pesticides, respectively, are shown in the Appendix.

The 2024 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report does not include cost information, and cost-per-incident varies depending on the type of pest. Since the establishment of the IPM policy, implementation is shown to avoid or reduce the public health, financial, and legal risks of environmental cleanup and/or abatement.

A copy of this report is filed with the City Clerk for public inspection. 3 PEST ISSUES AND CONTROL TACTICS

1. Weeds and Invasive Plants
All weed and invasive plant control used manual methods including hand-hoeing or pulling, mower and weedeater equipment, and mulching. Herbicides were used for excessive infestation on an as-needed basis in the following areas:

Coastail Vista Trail- Interim Linden Avenue to Holly Avenue Spur El Carro Park
Franklin Creek Park
Heath Ranch Park
Viola Fields
Pesticide free zones were also establised in the aforementioned areas.

Although glyphosate is determined to be safe based on independent scientific research, no glyphosate was used during the current reporting period. See Glyphosate Fact Sheet in the Appendix.

Broadleaf Weeds
Sometimes, broadleaf weeds can be controlled by simply altering the cultural practices to favor the grass plants rather than the weeds. Cultural controls may include raising or lowering the mowing height, changing the frequency of mowing, lengthening or shortening the period between irrigations, and/or increasing the application of fertilizer and aeriation of the soil to ameliorate compaction.

Clover is the primary broadleaf weed. A dense infestation of broadleaf weeds such as clover will out compete the desired Bermuda grass but does not stand up to the rigors of sports play. As the turf weakens, the broadleaf weeds will readily invade the open areas that remain.

Due to the continuing growth of broadleaf weeds in sports fields, herbicides are recommended for use in order to improve turf conditions. Applications must be performed by trained personnel. A combination of proper cultural practices and herbicide is sometimes necessary to effectively control broadleaf weeds in turf.

Turf Encroachment
Another issue experienced in sports fields is the encroachment of turf into the softball removed. Mechanical removal method is the only method to eliminate turf that has encroached because herbicides are not effective in these instances. The cost of mechanical removal method is higher, but the mechanical removal method is very effective.
4 Mulching
Mulching provides for the following benefits in controling weeds:

Reduces weed growth thereby reducing the need for herbicides or mowing.

Holds in soil moisture and conserves water.

Helps to keep the root zone temperatures at a beneficial level.

Organic mulch such as wood chips adds nutrition as it breaks down.

Wood chips from tree grindings are regularly stockpiled on the City Hall Campus and are used as mulch for City parks, open spaces, and parkways. The wood chips are also made available to Carpinteria residents. The wood chips were used in the following areas:

Carpinteria Community Garden
City Hall
Coastail Vista Trail- Interim Linden Avenue to Holly Avenue Spur El Carro Park
Heath Ranch Park
Monte Vista Park
Seaside Park
Tomol Interpretive Play Area
Viola Fields

2. Insects
California Oak Moths
The California oak moth (Phryganidia californica) is a native insect of coastal California.

Oak moth caterpillars voraciously feed upon the leaves of native Coast Live Oak trees and also some deciduous trees. The tan brown adult moths are commonly seen as they hover around infested trees. They prolifically mate and lay eggs for the next generation of caterpillars. The next generation of caterpillars feed on oak leaves. Extreme oak worm outbreaks occur approximately every eight to ten years. In the most extreme conditions, the infestation may lead to severe oak defoliation. During these outbreaks caterpillars are often seen suspending from silk strands, dropping to the ground, and congregating on surfaces such as benches, drinking fountains, and sidewalks. The infestation of the California oak moth was reduced.

Imidacloprid injections were used on the majority of Coast Live Oak trees in the following areas:

Eighth Street (Street Trees)
Franklin Creek Park
Heath Ranch Park
5 Memorial Park
Ogan Road (Street Trees)
Pesticide free zones were established in the following areas:

El Carro Park
Franklin Creek Park
Heath Ranch Park
Memorial Park
Monte Vista Park
The imidacloprid is taken up by the tree relatively slow and starts killing chewing insects after a few days. The imidacloprid continues to kill chewing bugs in the tree for up to a year with one injection. Direct injection of pesticides into the trunk of trees is an environmentally sound and economical way of treating for many kinds of insects that feed on trees. With injection into the circulatory system of a tree, a much lower dosage is needed because it all goes into the tree as opposed to spraying which deposits pesticide on the ground and adjacent areas for exposure to unintended receptors. Trunk injection was efficient and worked fast for insect damage control.

Aphids
Ash trees and magnolia trees experienced aphid infestations. Aphids exude a sticky residue that was causing unpleasant staining and stickiness on sidewalks and other surfaces. The infestation can be detrimental to the health of the tree and can spread to other landscape plants. Imidicloprid injections were used in the following areas:

Malibu Drive (Street Trees)
Sterling Avenue (Street Trees)
Sprays with neem oil were also used. Trilogy is the brand name for a clarified hydrophobic extract of neem oil. Neem oil is a naturally occurring pesticide found in seeds from the neem tree. It has been used for hundreds of years to control pests and diseases. Components of neem oil can be found in many products today. These include toothpaste, cosmetics, soaps, and pet shampoos. Neem products do not necessarily provide absolute insect control. However, frequent applications can reduce aphid populations by repelling them and inhibiting their larval development, growth, fertility, mating, and egg laying as well as deterring feeding. Sprays were used in the following areas:

Carpinteria Community Garden (Grounds)
Carpinteria Community Library (Grounds)
City Hall (Grounds)
Veterans Memorial Building (Grounds)
Public education of aphid prevention was conducted by the Carpinteria Community Garden.
6 Ants
EcoVia was used for ants. It contains thyme oil and rosemary oil, and it is compliant with the National Organic Program. It is also an EPA exempt, FIFRA25-b organic essential oil insecticide. EcoVia was used in the following areas:

Carpinteria Community Library (Building)
City Hall (Building)
Veterans Memorial Building
The Carpinteria Community Garden makes compost which is used to amend garden beds for ensuring rich soil provides plants with healthy defenses against insect pests. In i.e. plants especially attractive to
beneficial insects) provides a robust ecosystem of insects that feed on common garden pests such as aphids, scale, and white flies. Bat boxes were also installed at the Carpinteria Community Garden in an effort to control invasive insects.

3. Rodents
Rats and Mice
Terad3 Rodenticide bait and Contrac Blox (bromadiolone) were used for rats and mice.

Terad3 Rodenticide bait was used in the following areas:

City Hall (Building)
Carpinteria Community Pool (Building)
Carpinteria Community Library (Building)
Veterans Memorial Building
Cholecalciferol was used as a single feeding bait. Cholecalciferol is also known as vitamin D3. Once the rat or mouse eats a lethal dose, their blood calcium begins to rise to a level that is lethal to the rodent. It is a type of vitamin D which is made by the skin when exposed to sunlight. It is found in some foods, and it is also manufactured and sold as a dietary supplement. Cholecalciferol was used in the following areas:

Carpinteria Community Pool (Building)
City Hall (Building)
Gophers
Another area of constant effort is in the control of gophers. Gophers can pose a serious threat to turf areas, especially sports fields. Gopher holes in sports fields and parks pose a risk of injury to athletes and park goers. Gophers continue to be a major concern at El Carro and Viola playing fields. Gophers use their forepaws and incisor teeth to burrow and tunnel into the earth. Plant eaters by nature, they uproot and feed upon plants. Gophers are considered solitary rodents, yet dozens can infest an open 7 field if no control program is in place. Gopher mounds are often built in a line, indicative of a deeper tunnel system. Pocket gophers invade parks, yards and gardens, feeding on many garden crops, ornamental plants, vines, shrubs, and trees. A single gopher can inflict considerable damage in a very short time. Gophers gnaw and damage plastic water lines and irrigation systems. Their tunnels may divert and carry off irrigation water, which leads to soil erosion and inefficient water use. Mounds on turf areas interfere with mowing equipment and collapsing tunnels can create tripping and injury hazards. Sports fields suffer extensive damage when gopher infestations occur. It is unclear if plant stress from lack of irrigation has worsened the damage to sports field due to gophers.

Irrigated turf areas commonly attract gophers because moist soils have more succulent root systems required for food. Non-irrigated areas surrounding the sports fields may be unable to support gopher populations so the animals migrate to greener pastures.

The California Fish and Wildlife Code classifies pocket gophers as non-game mammals.

This means that if a gopher is causing property damage you can control them at any time and in any legal manner. The City continues to use a trapping service to help control gopher populations. It was effective, but it is not ideal. Since trapping techniques require observing active gophers, field damage continues to occur but with minimal damage.

Gopher trappings were used in the following areas:

City Hall (Grounds)
El Carro Park
Franklin Creek Park
Heath Ranch Park
Memorial Park
Veterans Memorial Building (Grounds)
Viola Fields
In addition, carbon dioxide gas was used for gophers. The carbon dioxide gas settles into gopher tunnels and displaces breathable air causing suffication. Carbon dioxide gas was used in the following areas:

Carpinteria Creek Park
City Hall (Grounds)
El Carro Park
Franklin Creek Park
Heath Ranch Park
Memorial Park
Monte Vista Park
Veterans Memorial Building (Grounds)
Viola Fields

SECTION 12. Ecological information
General Information: The environmental risk assessment shows that Bromadiolone does not cause unacceptable risk in the aquatic environment, terrestrial environment or in the atmosphere. Bromadiolone is neither expected to accumulate in sediment nor contaminate groundwater. Predatory and scavenging mammals and birds might be poisoned if they have eaten the bait. Use a bait station to minimize these risks. Please note, the data below reflects the active ingredient Bromadiolone. This product is formulated @0.005% or 50ppm Bromadiolone.

When compared to the data relevant to the active ingredient, ecological effects should be significantly lower for this product.

12.1. Toxicity
For Bromadiolone:

Fish: 96h LC50 ((Oncorhynchus mykiss)) = 4.33 mg/l
Invertebrates: 48h EC50 (Daphnia magna) 0.222 mg/l
Algae: 72h EbC50 Selenastrum capricornutum = >ErC50 = 7.31 mg/l Microorganisms (activated sludge): EC50 >100 mg/L (based on water solubility at pH 7 and T = 20°C)

12.2. Persistence and degradability: For Bromadiolone: Not readily biodegradable under normal conditions. However, photolysis of Bromadiolone is rapid with a half-life 0.5 hours or less (pH7 and 9, 25°C). In addition Bromadiolone is not volatile and therefore would not be expected to be present in the air in significant quantities.

Description of first aid measures
Ingestion: Call physician or emergency number immediately. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by physician.

Inhalation: Not applicable.

Eye contact: hen
continue rinsing eye. If irritation develops, obtain medical assistance.

Skin contact: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 - 20 minutes. If irritation develops, obtain medical assistance.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Ingestion of excessive quantities may cause hypercalcemia, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, extreme thirst, lethargy, diarrhea, profuse sweating, headache.

Advice to physician: There is no specific antidote. If serum calcium levels are elevated, treatment with calcitonin is effective in reducing calcium to normal levels. Continue monitoring serum calcium and treat as necessary for hypercalcemia. (Reference: AMA Drug Evaluations, Third Edition (1977) Chapter 16, pp. 248-251)
Advice to Veterinarian: For animals ingesting bait and/or showing poisoning signs, induce vomiting by using hydrogen peroxide or administration of activated charcoal with a cathartic. If clinical signs develop, treatment consisting of saline diuresis combined with the use of furosemide, corticosteroids, and phosphate binders are recommended. Calcitonin or pamidronate may be needed for animals that remain hypercalcemic despite symptomatic treatment.

GLYPHOSATE
Fact Sheet
EPA has concluded its regulatory review of glyphosate, the most widely used herbicide in the United States. After a thorough review of the best available science, as required under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, EPA has concluded there are no risks of concern to human health when glyphosate is used according to the label and that it is not a carcinogen. EPA scientists had performed an independent evaluation of available data for glyphosate and found:

No risks of concern to human health from proper use of glyphosate. Glyphosate products used according to label directions do not result in risks to children or adults.

No indication of children being more sensitive to glyphosate. After evaluating numerous studies from a variety of sources, EPA found no indication of children being more sensitive to glyphosate from in utero or post-natal exposure. As part of the human health risk assessment, EPA evaluated all populations including infants, children and women of child-bearing age and found no risks of concern from ingesting food with glyphosate residues. EPA also found no risks of concern for children entering or playing on residential areas treated with glyphosate.

No evidence of glyphosate causing cancer in humans. EPA concluded glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans. EPA considered a significantly more extensive and relevant data set than the International Agency on the Research for Cancer (IARC). studies EPA identified in the open literature. For instance, IARC only considered eight animal carcinogenicity studies while EPA used fifteen (15) acceptable carcinogenicity about glyphosate being
regulatory authorities, including the Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency, Australian Pesticide and Veterinary Medicines Authority, European Food Safety Authority, European Chemicals Agency, German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, New Zealand Environmental Protection Authority, and Food Safety Commission of Japan and the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization (FAO/WHO) Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR).

For more information, read the Revised Glyphosate Issue Paper: Evaluation of Carcinogenic Potential.

No indication of glyphosate is an endocrine disruptor. Glyphosate underwent Tier I information, EPA concluded, using a weight-of-evidence approach, the existing data do not indicate glyphosate has the potential to interact with the estrogen, androgen, or thyroid signaling pathways. The screening program did not indicate the need for additional testing for glyphosat

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

DEPARTMENT
Community Development
I. Executive Summary
The second quarter of the current fiscal year saw Community Development Department (CDD) staff reach several important milestones towards its advance planning goals: In October, the final two remaining administrative draft Elements of the General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan update were released to the General Plan Update Committee for public review. In December, following successful preceding meetings with the Architectural Review Board and Planning Commission, the City Council adopted the Housing Element Zoning Amendments package, thereby completing the final local jurisdiction step needed to address Element certification by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Next steps for these efforts during the upcoming third quarter include releasing a complete public draft of the General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan update, and receiving the respective certifications for the Housing Element Zoning Amendments package from HCD and the California Coastal Commission (CCC).

Other important achievements completed during the second quarter include: The successful thereby successfully complying with a state-required mandate. Community Development Department staff continued to prioritize efforts to expand job-relevant training and certifications. Code Compliance staff have initiated efforts to develop outreach and residential
smoking ban, and adoption of Code Compliance Officer Safety Standards to meet another required state mandate.

Despite the varied successes, this quarter was not without its challenges. Two key departmental staff, the Chief Building Inspector/Plans Examiner and Principal Planner, announced their departures from the City. Efforts to recruit for and fill these vacancies are underway and will continue into the next quarter. In the meantime, the City temporarily transitioned to a 100% contractor-supported Building and Safety Services program, which has resulted in expending nearly the entire annual allocation for building plan check and inspection consultant services at the halfway point of the fiscal year. Staff will be requesting approval to redirect or allocate additional funds to this professional services contract to help support staff needs through the end of the fiscal year. Finally, Animal Medical Clinic (AMC) who provides contract animal control services to the City, including kenneling of impounded animals, is undertaking a multi-month remodel and expansion of their facilities which will temporarily preclude AMC from providing kenneling services for large breed dogs. City staff has worked with County Animal Control Services and Santa Barbara Humane Society to secure interim kenneling services and seeks to formalize an arrangement with Santa Barbara Humane Society during the third quarter to maintain ongoing back-up kenneling support for animal control purposes. Both of these challenges illustrate and reinforce the City of Carpinteria FY 2024/25 2nd Quarter Update
need for planning and building in an appropriate level of redundancies into CDD programs to ensure the ability to continue to deliver key services to the community.

II. Key Highlights
Major Milestones Achieved:

Adoption of Housing Element Zoning Amendments package (establishment of Residential/Mixed Use (RMU) zoning district; establishment of Objective Design Standards; rezoning of ~20 acres to RMU district) by City Council in December, and submittal of Housing Element Zoning Amendments package to Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and California Coastal Commission (CCC) for their respective certifications.

Released final two administrative draft Elements (Community Design & Land Use) to General Plan Update Committee (GPUC) in October.

Worked with New Beginnings staff, the Land Trust for Santa Barbara County staff, and Carpinteria Open Space Management Advisory Board (COSMAB) members to finalize path for extending the Safe Parking Program beyond the end of the initial two-year pilot term and expand the program from six vehicles maximum to 12 vehicles.

Successfully launched SolarApp+ online permitting software for residential rooftop solar installations in October. 10 permits issued since launch.

Significant Issues or Challenges Encountered:

Vacancy of Chief Building Inspector/Plans Examiner and Principal Planner positions resulted in reduced capacity in the Development Review and Building Program.

Expended annual budget for building plan check and inspection consultant services in effort to temporarily backfill vacant Chief Building Inspector/Plans Examiner position.

Temporary loss of large breed dog kenneling facilities during multi-month planned remodel and expansion of Animal Medical Clinic veterinary facilities.

Upcoming Priorities for the Next Quarter
Achieve respective HCD and CCC certification of Housing Element Zoning Amendments package.

Release complete public draft of General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan update.

Successfully recruit for and fill vacant CDD positions.

III. Financial Summary
Budget Overview
Major Expenditures: None
Variance: Realized revenues continue to outperform anticipated revenues in adopted budget, primarily due to updated permit fees and several large projects submitted for permitting.
o License and Permit fees, and Charges for Services are well ahead of anticipated revenues at end of Q2. Charges for Services, in particular, have already exceeded anticipated revenues for the entire fiscal year.

Major Financial Changes or Concerns
Significant deviations from the budget
o $100,000 budgeted for the entire fiscal year for building plan check and inspection professional services has been nearly fully expended as of the end of Q2 due to increased permit activity and temporary transition to 100% consultant-provided Building and Safety services following vacancy in Chief Building Inspector and Plans Examiner position.

Upcoming financial challenges or adjustments
o CDD will request additional funds be redirected or allocated to building plan check and inspection professional services to cover ongoing use of consultant services through the end of the fiscal year.

These additional funds can be largely offset by temporary salary savings realized by vacant Chief Building Inspector and Plans Examiner position, and by increased permit revenues.

PUBLIC WORKS
Public Works Department
I. Executive Summary
In the Engineering Division, each of the three programs (Public Works Administration Program; Capital Improvements Program; and Transportation, Parking and Lighting Program) are currently assigned goals by the City Council. The Public Works Administration Program goal is to enhance departmentwide operational and production efficiency. Within this reporting period, the three (3) Parks and Facilities Attendant positions are outfitted with mobile smart phones to utilize GoGov and for use during rental events at Veterans Memorial Building. Review of customer satisfaction surveys continue to be conducted in weekly Department staff meetings, and adjustments of operational efficiency are made as needed. There are no major challenges to date in implementing the goal.

The Capital Improvements Program goal is to increase capital project revenues. Within this reporting period, Department staff researched California Department of Parks and Recreation grant opportunities such as the Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant Cycle and Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program, respectively, for both parks and alternative transportation (e.g., trails) capital projects in the Capital Improvement ; however,
the applications were scored low in the critical area of disadvantaged communities (due , negatively impacting
. This remains the major challenge to date in
advancing the goal.

The Transportation, Parking and Lighting Program goal is to increase availability of alternative transportation. No actions were taken within this reporting period because there is a shortage of qualified transit drivers resulting in delays to anticipated microtransit service, The Wave.

In the Sustainability and Environment Division, each of the three programs (Resource Conservation Program, Solid Waste Program, Watershed Management Program) are currently assigned goals by the City Council. The Resource Conservation Program goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Within this reporting period, a funding application was accepted for replacement of one of the Maintenance Division tractors with an allIncentive Program, Department staff developed a fleet electrification roadmap for City vehicles. However, work is delayed toward development of 100% energy sustainable and resilient City facilities. Funding for solar and battery storage projects is oversubscribed and faces some uncertainty for future cycles. Department staff continues to monitor funding opportunities. Further, procurement of all-electric maintenance equipment and vehicles is still in progress; however, technological advances could cause delays in delivery of some products.

City of Carpinteria FY 2024/25 2nd Quarter Update
The Solid Waste Program goal is to reduce waste and increase landfill diversion. Within this reporting period, all four (4) commercial accounts for curbside organic collection service that previously were not in compliance were contacted and brought into compliance. Department staff continued outreach to food and beverage providers to reach full compliance with City regulations related to single-use plastic take-out foodware and retail sale regulations regarding single-use plastic foodware and mylar ballons.

Further, Department staff continued work with the General Government Department toward full cost recovery (i.e., elimination of general fund subsidies) for solid waste programming, specifically through proposed revisions to AB 939 fees on residential and commercial solid waste rates.

The Watershed Management Program goal is to protect local watersheds, and there is one (1) quantifiable objective. Within this reporting period, a revision was made to the development and construction tracking database as well as associated documents.

Further, an evaluation of cost reporting was conducted in compliance with new State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) regulations. The major challenge to date is new requirements for cost reporting, as well as those in the draft Phase II MS4 Permit, which are expected to require significant staff resources and additional funding.

In the Maintenance Division, the overarching goal of the three programs (Street Maintenance Program, Fleet Maintenance Program, and Parks and Facilities Maintenance Program) is to increase and diversify maintenance operations capabilities.

Within this reporting period, two (2) maintenance staff, one from the Street Maintenance Program and the other from the Parks and Facilities Maintenance Program, completed landscape irrigation skills training in November 2024. Further, the part-time Parks and Facilities Attendant staff were trained in special event hospitality skills for public facility rentals (e.g., Veterans Memorial Building rentals). The major challenge to date is the limited staff capacity to complete service requests.

II. Key Highlights
Major Milestones Achieved:

Maintenance staff are outfitted with at least one mobile workspace device (i.e. rugged tablet and/or mobile smart phone)
All thirteen (13) Fiscal Year 2024/25 programmed capital projects are in progress.

The construction phase of three (3) capital projects are complete or substantially complete:
o 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation
o Former Venoco Oil Pipeline #0470 Abandonment Project
o Via Real Stormwater Project
Ten (10) capital projects are under design.

All four (4) commercial accounts that previously were not in compliance were contacted and brought into compliance.

Significant Issues or Challenges Encountered:

Capital Improvement Program grant applications were able to demonstrate a technical need, however, critical evaluation points are awarded City of Carpinteria FY 2024/25 2nd Quarter Update
to disadvantaged communities (for which Carpinteria does not qualify) making it difficult to secure needed grant funding.

Shortage of qualified transit drivers has resulted in delays to anticipated microtransit service.

Funding for solar and battery storage projects is oversubscribed and faces some uncertainty for future cycles. Staff continues to monitor funding opportunities.

Restaurants have a high turnover rate, so regular site visits will be necessary for continued compliance. Additionally, some foodware items do not have nonplastic alternatives.

New requirements for cost reporting as well as those in the draft Phase II MS4 Permit are expected to require significant staff resources and funding. The true impacts of this are unknown at this time.

Limited capacity to complete projects due to staffing constraints.

Upcoming Priorities for the Next Quarter
Continue to research and pursue any grant program for eligible pavement improvement projects as well as for other infrastructure project needs.

Continue to transition equipment to all-electric as funding and equipment availability allows.

Approval of proposed 5% AB 939 fee increase to fully fund solid waste programming.

Continue engagement with the SWRCB about the draft Phase II MS4 Permit.

Continue revision of construction inspections and development project tracking, as required by the Phase II MS4 Permit.

Tracking will eventually include all departments that work on any element of Phase II MS4 Permit implementation and will be due in the fifth year of that permit. Estimated time spent on this by agencies involved in the pilot program were 1 full-time employee for 3 months per year.

Challenges:

New requirements for cost reporting as well as those in the draft Phase II MS4 Permit are expected to require significant staff resources and funding. The true impacts of this are unknown at this time.

Trash Implementation Plan regulations. This action is delayed, as the permit has not yet been adopted and draft provisions could require updates to the Trash Implementation Plan. Additionally, these plans require Regional Water Quality Control Board Executive Officer Approval, which has not been obtained.

Next Steps:

Continue engagement with the SWRCB about the draft Phase II MS4 Permit.

Continue revision of construction inspections and development project tracking, as required by the Phase II MS4 Permit.
