TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
FROM: Amy Van, City Clerk
Ryan Jones, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Approve Resolution for Continued Remote Meetings in Accordance with AB 361
Summary and Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-___ a resolution making the legally required findings to continue to authorize the conduct of remote “telephonic” meetings during the State of Emergency.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
Background and Analysis
At the October 14, 2021 regular meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-082 making the legally required findings to authorize the conduct of remote “telephonic” meetings during a declared state of emergency pursuant to Government Code. The City Council determined that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and state of emergency, meetings in person of the City Council and all legislative bodies of the City would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
In the event of an ongoing proclaimed state of emergency, in order to continue to conduct meetings remotely, any time after the first remote meeting of the legislative body, it can meet remotely if both of the following apply:
1. State/local emergency/social distancing. Either:
a. “a state of emergency remains active” or
b. “state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing” and
Item 6 Agenda Packet Page 13
Subject: Approve Resolution for Continued Remote Meetings in Accordance with AB 361 Date: August 11, 2022
Printed on Recycled Paper
2. 30 days. Within the last 30 days (which vote may occur at that meeting) the legislative body has made the following findings by majority vote “(A) The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency. (B) Any of the following circumstances exist (i) The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person. (ii) State or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.”
Governor Newsom’s March 4, 2020 Proclamation of Emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic is still in effect. It is important to note that neither AB 361 nor the attached resolution would require meetings be held in an all-virtual format. By adopting this resolution would allow a “hybrid” format where council members and staff participate either in person or remotely depending on their individual circumstances. Additionally, the hybrid formal allows the public to continue to participate remotely. Failing to adopt this resolution would require meetings to be held in-person under traditional Brown Act parameters (noticing the teleconference location, providing access to the public, etc.); adopting the resolution would give the flexibility as it moves forward with meetings.
If the City intends to conduct meetings remotely, it should add to every agenda a consent calendar item to reaffirm the findings described above, which are required to allow the remote meetings. This resolution also makes the necessary finings for all subordinate legislative bodies of the City, such as the Planning Commission, so these bodies can also continue to meet remotely on an ongoing basis.

Housing
New US home construction declined 14.4 percent in May to a
1.55 million annualized rate, the lowest in more than a year as builders face higher construction costs and slowing demand.
With the substantial rise in mortgage rates since January from 3 to 6 percent the monthly payment on a median priced $885k California home with 20 percent down increased from $3,731 to $5,306, up 42 percent.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 11, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
FROM: Casey Kempenaar, Community Development Director
Eric Singer, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Participation in Regional Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Building Electrification Efforts
Summary and Recommendation
On May 18, 2022, the City Manager’s Office received a memo from the Sacramento Environmental Commission requesting City participation in a no-cost Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) recently adopted by the City and County of Sacramento and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD). The MOU establishes a process to coordinate new building and retrofit electrification projects, policies, and activities within their jurisdictions. The MOU was explicitly created to invite and accept other Sacramento County incorporated cities to join the MOU with the objective to create a safe, clean, reliable, equitable, affordable, and accessible transition to residential building electrification.
Participation in the MOU by the City of Citrus Heights does not create any ordinance or regulation nor does it tie the City to any other jurisdiction’s actions.
The following motions are recommended:
Motion 1: Adopt Resolution 2022- _____, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights Authorizing the City Manager to Participate as an Additional Agency by executing the Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Sacramento, County of Sacramento, and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District Regarding Coordination and Cooperation on Building Electrification Efforts Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Participation in the MOU has the potential to save costs through pooled resources, increased information sharing, and a competitive advantage for agencies when pursuing grant funding.
Item 8 Agenda Packet Page 25
Subject: Participation in Regional Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Building Electrification Efforts
Date: August 11, 2022
Printed on Recycled Paper
Background and Analysis
Increasingly, state, regional, and local agencies are being tasked with reducing carbon emissions associated with the operation of both private and public buildings. The Building Code has continued to evolve and includes increasingly more regulations related to building electrification.
In an effort to support and increase opportunities for regional collaboration among local governments, SMUD and the City and County of Sacramento have developed a regional MOU to encourage participation from additional agencies.
The proposed building electrification MOU sets the framework for how participating agencies will work together towards building electrification. It will lead to increased information sharing, avoid the duplication of work, provide for shared learning, increase the opportunity for public input, help ensure an equitable and just transition into electrification of existing buildings, and demonstrates to State and federal funding partners an existing, collaborative framework that will make the City of Citrus Heights more competitive for funding opportunities.
Participation in the MOU by the City of Citrus Heights does not create any ordinance or regulation nor does it tie the City to any other jurisdiction’s actions. Furthermore, participation in the MOU achieves several goals and policies outlined within the General Plan, including:
Policy 26.1N: Encourage the use of Green Building practices for the revitalization or redevelopment of the existing housing stock
Policy 33.1: Maintain open communication and cooperation with all public agencies that serve residents and businesses in Citrus Heights
Policy 41.1A: Explore use of grant funds and programs with SMUD and non-profit agencies to establish programs for energy conservation (such as home weatherization, Energy Star appliances) and transition to the use of clean and renewable energy (such as photovoltaic retrofit, solar hot water heating and pumps)
Environmental Review
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b) (3)) in that adoption of the proposed Resolution will not result in any impacts on the physical environment.

1 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO, THE COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO, AND THE SACRAMENTO MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT.
FOR THE PURPOSE OF COORDINATING BUILDING ELECTRIFICATION
PROJECTS, POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES
The City of Sacramento (“CITY OF SACRAMENTO), the County of Sacramento (“COUNTY”) and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (“SMUD”) have adopted Declarations of Climate Emergency. This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between CITY OF SACRAMENTO, COUNTY, and SMUD, collectively the “Agencies,” recognizes a shared level of ambition to achieve zero carbon in the building sector by 2045 or sooner, and a recognition that low-income communities should be prioritized in achieving zero carbon goals faster than 2045. The Agencies commit to aim their collaborative activities toward achievement of a just transition that brings the benefits of clean, affordable, and resilient energy use to the most pollution- and cost-burdened households. This MOU sets out the Agencies’ understanding of the process to be followed in coordinating new building and retrofit projects, policies, and activities to support building electrification, air quality, and climate in the Agencies’ jurisdictions, including identifying intermediate milestones that should drive the Agencies’ level of programmatic funding as well as help define the amount of external funding needed to achieve these shared goals. The intent of the MOU is to support shared learning and foster continued strong collaboration on these topics of joint policy interest.
The Agencies also invite and agree to accept other Sacramento County incorporated cities to join this MOU by submitting a signed “Additional Agency” Addendum in counterpart. Any other incorporated City signing as an “Additional Agency” to the MOU becomes included as one of the “Agencies” and agrees to the terms and conditions specified herein.
BACKGROUND
The Agencies recognize the need for interagency communication and cooperation. Transitioning the built environment in an innovative and equitable manner is important to each agency’s mission and statutory obligations, in part because the Agencies work to improve the overall quality of life for the region’s residents. It is in the interest of the residents and businesses of Sacramento County that the Agencies: (i) coordinate, identify priority projects, and collaborate on those issues where they find substantial alignment, and (ii) support greater adoption of electric technologies and accelerated adoption of electric buildings within the Agencies’ jurisdictions.
This collaboration builds on numerous successful existing partnerships between the Agencies and commits the Agencies to more direct collaborative project implementation. Recent project examples include the Mayors’ Commission on Climate Change (MCCC), the New Building Electrification Ordinance, which phases in requirements for new construction to be all electric, and the adopted interagency coordination MOU with other partners for Zero Emission Electric Vehicles (ZEV) development.
Further, this MOU is predicated on the significant electrical investments currently underway and planned for the region by the respective Agencies such as CITY OF SACRAMENTO’s Climate DocuSign Envelope ID: C6470DD1-ACC9-495D-A467-A713FFDF1EBD Agenda Packet Page 31
BUILDING ELECTRIFICATION MOU BETWEEN SAC CITY, COUNTY AND SMUD
Implementation Workplan, the COUNTY’s Draft Climate Action Plan, and SMUD’s 2030 Zero Carbon Plan. Key investments and funding opportunities include local and regional efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, such as the implementation of CITY OF SACRAMENTO’s Climate Action & Adaptation Plan (CAAP) update, the implementation of COUNTY’s Draft Climate Action Plan, and the creation of a regional electrification working group within the Capitol Region Climate Readiness Collaborative.
PURPOSE
The mission of the Agencies’ partnership outlined in this MOU is to advance the equitable deployment of Building Electrification programs, to achieve the decarbonization of existing buildings through a Just Transition that brings the benefits of clean, affordable, and resilient energy use to the most pollution- and cost-burdened households, and to coordinate operational implementation of Building Electrification programs, including: (i) coordinating the integrated analysis of projects and plans, (ii) effectively leveraging public funding to maximize investment outcomes, and (iii) efficiently coordinating and collaborating for implementation of building electrification projects that have a direct impact on air quality and climate. The Agencies recognize that each Agency has different functions. The partnership will seek to create greater adoption of electrification, guide Agency investment in program incentives and infrastructure, and build upon each Agency’s knowledge and expertise for efficient and data-informed analysis of electrification projects, plans, and issues.
While this MOU commits the Agencies to collaborate for purposes of Building Electrification program implementation, the Agencies intend to engage other regional partners with various supportive or related roles as appropriate. However, this MOU concerns only the implementation of the operational aspects of comprehensive Building Electrification within each Agency’s jurisdiction.
Through this MOU, the Agencies seek to create a safe, clean, reliable, equitable, affordable, and accessible transition to electrification that prioritizes the needs of disadvantaged, historically under-resourced, and vulnerable communities, such as communities of color, low-income residents, youth, and people with disabilities. By striving towards these outcomes, the Agencies also seek to advance the mitigation of GHG emissions and progress towards carbon neutrality goals by successful implementation of Building Electrification programs. Each Agency shall use its unique roles, assets, and responsibilities in furtherance of this collective goal.
In furtherance of this purpose, the Agencies will do the following:
1. Meet at least quarterly on Building Electrification-related activities, including but not limited to: implementation of the CITY OF SACRAMENTO’s New Building Electrification Ordinance; technical advisory panel support for infeasibility waivers; Pathway for Existing Building Electrification Strategy development; new construction equipment and building retrofit technical assistance, joint funding, financing and pilot opportunities; stakeholder engagement; and community education. In addition, the Agencies will collaborate on related issues, such as distributed renewable energy generation and energy storage, and energy efficiency improvements.
DocuSign Envelope ID: C6470DD1-ACC9-495D-A467-A713FFDF1EBD Agenda Packet Page 32
BUILDING ELECTRIFICATION MOU BETWEEN SAC CITY, COUNTY AND SMUD
2. Establish a joint Building Electrification project priority list and action plan that identifies funding strategies, roles, and responsibilities of the Agencies. The Building Electrification project priority list will be equity-focused and be guided by the SMUD Sustainable Communities Resource Priorities map, CITY OF SACRAMENTO General Plan Environmental Justice maps, and COUNTY Environmental Justice Maps among other resources as appropriate. The project priority list and action plan may be updated over time but will be used to guide the Agencies’ investments and direct joint pursuits or allocations of grant and rebate funding.
3. Collaborate to plan and aggregate resources and pursue funding for transitioning the most energy-burdened households to affordable clean energy and minimize their exposure to volatile gas rates, including, where appropriate, allocations for joint capital infrastructure projects that advance the health and equity of the community through electrification. As the Agencies succeed in funding joint projects, additional agreements may be necessary to identify detailed responsibilities, expenditure commitments, and schedules, which may require approval by the Agencies’ respective executive officers or governing bodies.
4. Pursue additional ways to integrate the staff work of the Agencies to improve effectiveness and efficiency for Building Electrification advancement, such as data sharing, market characterizations, or pilot programs to improve indoor air quality, adoption of electrical technologies, or climate resilience.
5. Identify and implement strategies to simplify incentive and program applications where feasible, striving to ensure that program design is based on the needs of the most vulnerable and impacted communities. Coordination efforts will focus on efficacy of program structures, reducing barriers to participation, and streamlining procedures.
6. Collaborate to ensure that the permitting and inspection process does not present undue barriers or create an unintended incentive for work to be done outside of the permit process for electrification related work.
7. Collaborate to ensure coordination of programs, standards, and policies, including collaboration to identify and address barriers to mutual issues that prevent joint progress on electrification.
8. Work to collectively evaluate the impact of electrification investments on greenhouse gas emission reductions and coordinate the attribution of progress to each Agency’s respective air quality and climate mitigation goals.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Except as expressly permitted hereunder or as required by law, including but not limited to the California Public Records Act (California Government Code section 6250 et seq.), during the duration of this MOU, neither Agency shall disclose information identified by the other Agency as “Confidential Information” to any other person, entity, or third party. Each Agency shall use the same means it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in any event not less than reasonable means, to prevent the disclosure and to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential DocuSign Envelope ID: C6470DD1-ACC9-495D-A467-A713FFDF1EBD Agenda Packet Page 34
BUILDING ELECTRIFICATION MOU BETWEEN SAC CITY, COUNTY AND SMUD
Information of the other Agency disclosed to it. In the event of a legal challenge, the Agency claiming confidentiality is the Agency required to defend the challenge.
For purposes of this MOU, “Confidential Information” means: (i) written information received by an Agency (the “Receiving Agency”) from another Agency (the “Disclosing Agency”) which is marked or identified as confidential; (ii) oral or visual information identified as confidential at the time of disclosure which is accurately summarized in writing and provided to the Receiving Agency by the Disclosing Agency in such written form promptly after such oral or visual disclosure; (iii) information provided by the Disclosing Agency to the Receiving Agency orally, even if not reduced to writing, which the Receiving Agency has reason to know if disclosed, could provide a third party with any business advantage of any kind over the Disclosing Agency; and (iv) data which is furnished unmarked to a Receiving Agency, which the Disclosing Agency subsequently notifies the Receiving Agency is confidential (which Receiving Agency upon such notification shall then immediately label as confidential).
The term “Confidential Information” does not include such portions of the Confidential Information which: (i) are or become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Receiving Agency or its Representatives; (ii) become available to Receiving Agency or its Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Disclosing Agency which is not prohibited from disclosing such information to Receiving Agency or its Representatives by a legal, contractual, or fiduciary obligation; (iii) Receiving Agency or its Representatives knew prior to disclosure as evidenced by the Receiving Agency’s or its Representative’s written records; (iv) is disclosed under the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body or is otherwise required by law to be disclosed (including but not limited to the California Public Records Act); or (v) has been independently developed by the Receiving Agency without access to or use of Disclosing Agency’s Confidential Information.
In the event that Receiving Agency or its Representatives or anyone to whom Receiving Agency or its Representatives transmits the Confidential Information pursuant to this MOU becomes legally compelled to disclose any of the Confidential Information, Receiving Agency will provide Disclosing Agency with prompt notice so that Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this MOU. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that Disclosing Agency in writing waives compliance with the provisions of this MOU, Receiving Agency and its Representatives will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which Receiving Agency or its Representatives is advised by opinion of counsel is legally required, and will exercise industry best practices to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.

FROM: Regina Cave, General Services Director
Leslie Blomquist, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Mariposa Avenue Safe Routes to School Phase 4 – ATPSB1L 5475(043) Approval of Contract Amendment No. 2 – Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services
Summary and Recommendation
On May 13, 2021, the City Council authorized an Agreement for Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services (Agreement) with Coastland Civil Engineering, Inc. (Coastland) for the Mariposa Avenue Safe Routes to School Phase 4 Project (Project).
During construction, unforeseen conditions were discovered and additional work authorized, which resulted in additional working days being granted to the contractor. Consequently, on December 9, 2021, the City Council authorized Coastland’s agreement be amended to support additional construction management and inspection services.
With construction almost complete and with the Project being funded with a federal grant, staff requested a proposal from Coastland to support the city in providing all project close out documentation necessary to comply with grant requirements. This additional service requires an amendment to the Agreement, which services will be paid for on an hourly basis. Staff negotiated an amount of $11,222.65 for Contract Amendment No. 2.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-____ A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement for Professional Services with Coastland Civil Engineering, Inc. for the Mariposa Avenue Safe Routes to School Phase 4 Project.
Fiscal Impact
The current not-to-exceed fee for construction management is $291,898.83. Proposed Amendment No. 2 will increase the not-to-exceed fee for professional services by $11,222.65 to a total of $303,121.48. The recommended action results in no fiscal impact to the Fiscal Year Item 9 Agenda Packet Page 39

Printed on Recycled Paper
(FY) 2022/2023 budget, nor the 2021/2022 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Proposed Amendment No. 2 will be paid for utilizing Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant funds supported by Measure A Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Funds (Fund 311) as the required local match.
Background and Analysis
The Project is the final phase of 1.2 mile Safe Route to School project providing complete streets connections between Greenback Lane and Madison Avenue encompassing Skycrest Elementary, San Juan High School, and San Juan Park. This phase of the Project will complete the bicycle and pedestrian network between Northeast Circle and Madison Avenue including installation of sidewalk, curb and gutter, bike lanes, street lighting, and upgrades to the traffic signal at Madison Avenue and Mariposa Avenue.
In November 2016, the city was selected to receive an Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant for the design, right-of-way, and construction of the Project. Design was completed in November 2020, and Caltrans authorized construction in December 2020.
On March 5, 2021, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking qualified firms to provide Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services for the Project. A total of seven proposals were received and after a thorough review and interviews of the top ranking firms, Coastland was determined to be the most qualified consultant for the desired services.
The selection process was consistent with Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM), Chapter 10.
On May 13, 2021, the City Council authorized an Agreement with Coastland for the Project.
During construction, several unforeseen conditions were encountered including substantial amounts of unsuitable material and additional utility conflicts. This work resulted in additional working days being granted to the contractor, for which additional inspection services were needed. As such, on December 9, 2021, the City Council authorized Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement to provide additional on-site construction management and inspection services.
With substantial completion of the construction achieved and project closeout to begin in the near future, staff requested a proposal from Coastland to support the city in providing all project close out documentation necessary to comply with grant requirements. The project closeout period, which can be time consuming, is critical to complying with grant requirements.
Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement (Attachment 2) with Coastland will provide these services.
This project aligns with the City Council’s three-year strategic planning goal to “Maintain Public Infrastructure and Enhance Alternative Modes of Transportation”.

SUBJECT: Park Facilities Impact Fee Request
Expansion of the C-Bar-C Park Playground
Summary and Recommendation
The City of Citrus Heights collects a Park Facilities Impact Fee on new development projects.
The revenue and interest from this fee is used by Sunrise Recreation and Park District (District) for improvements and/or construction of park and recreation facilities within city limits. The District is requesting to use park impact fees for replacement and expansion of the existing CBar-C playground.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-____ A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Authorizing and Approving the Use of Park Facilities Impact Fees in the Amount Not to Exceed $150,000 for expansion of the C-Bar-C Park Playground.
Fiscal Impact
The current balance of the Park Facilities Impact Fee fund (Fund 265) is $225,549. The total fiscal impact of approving the District’s request for expansion of the C-Bar-C Park playground is $150,000.
A separate request for authorization of $75,000 of Park Facilities Impact Fees for construction of the Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail Project within C-Bar-C Park is included as part of Agenda Item
13. Background and Analysis
The City Council adopted a Park Facilities Impact Fee in 1999 to maintain existing park and recreation facility standards, and mitigate impacts caused by new development. Shortly after the adoption of the fee, the city entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Item 10 Agenda Packet Page 47

District which outlines the collection and use of the fee as well as the process for requesting the fee. The District must obtain prior approval from the City Council before expending the fee. A committee of city and District representatives reviews requests for funding and sends their recommendations to the full City Council for a vote.
The City/District 2x2 Committee, which consists of two District board members (Board Chair Huber and Board Member Shahan) and two city council members (Vice Mayor Schaefer and Council Member Miller), serves as the reviewing committee. The Committee met on July 21, 2022, to discuss the request and the Committee recommended that Park Facilities Impact Fee funds be used for the Project. Also on July 21, 2022, the Sunrise Recreation and Park District Board voted approval to support the use of Park Facilities Impact Fees in the amount of $150,000 for expansion of the C-Bar-C Park Playground.
The C-Bar-C Park Playground Expansion will remove the old playground and replace it with a new expanded play structure, near the planned location of the future Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail Project.

SUBJECT: Zoning Code Updates
Summary and Recommendation
On occasion, refinements to the Zoning Code are necessary to clarify existing standards, implement new ones, reflect changes in law, and address changing business types and their activities. Staff proposes to modify section 106.32 (Affordable Housing Incentives) of the Zoning Code to reflect changes in state law. The approval of these amendments does not approve any development project.
Rather, they amend and clarify certain sections of the Zoning Code for consistency with state law.
The proposed Zoning Code updates were presented to the Planning Commission on July 13, 2022.
The Planning Commission recommended 6-0 that the City Council approve the proposed amendments.
The following motions are recommended:
Motion 1: Move to determine the proposed amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines; and Motion 2: Move to introduce for first reading, read by title only and waive the full reading of Ordinance 2022- _____, as shown in Attachment 1, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights Amending Section 106.32 (Affordable Housing Incentives) of Chapter 106 of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code (Zoning Code Section)
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Consistency with state housing laws, including Affordable Housing Incentives, is a pre-requisite for being considered a “Pro-Housing” agency. Recently, state grants have included preferential scoring for grant applications that come from Pro-Housing agencies.
Item 11 Agenda Packet Page 51
Subject: Zoning Code Density Bonus Update
Date: August 11, 2022
Printed on Recycled Paper
Background and Analysis
California’s Density Bonus Law provides housing developers with tools to encourage the development of much needed affordable and senior housing. The California Legislature continues to refine the Density Bonus Law with new legislation, which provides additional flexibility to developers in meeting requirements for a density bonus. In addition, a 2021 appellate court ruling changes the types of information that local governments can require from density bonus applications seeking an incentive or concession. The proposed amendments are to bring the City’s Zoning Code into alignment with changes made to the Density Bonus Law over the past two years.
Project Description
Staff proposes to modify section 106.32 (Affordable Housing Incentives) of the Zoning Code to reflect changes in state law. The approval of these amendments does not approve any development project. Rather, they amend certain sections of the Zoning Code for consistency with state law.
Below is a summation of all of the 2022 changes to the California Density Bonus law, which have been incorporated into Zoning Code Chapter 106.32:
• Limits on Impact Fees: AB 571 prohibits local governments from charging affordable housing impact fees, including inclusionary zoning fees and in-lieu fees, against affordable units in density bonus housing developments.
• Longer Affordability Periods: AB 634 allows a local government to adopt an ordinance requiring an affordability period of more than 55 years in density bonus housing projects.
However, these local ordinances cannot impose affordability periods of more than 55 years in developments financed with low income housing tax credits. • Incentives & Concessions; Parking; Qualifying Units: SB 290 makes several changes to density bonus law, including:
o Provides one incentive or concession for density bonus projects that include at least 20% of the units for lower income students in a student housing development. o Eliminates the ability of local governments to disapprove a developer’s request for an incentive or concession, or a waiver or modification of development standards, on the grounds that it would have a specific adverse impact on the physical environment.
o Provides parking standards of one-half space per bedroom for housing developments which include at least 40% moderate income units that are located within a half mile of a major transit stop.
o Eliminates the requirement that for-sale units for moderate income households must be in a “common interest development” in order to qualify for a density bonus. o Clarifies that for purposes of qualifying for a density bonus, the “total units” in a housing development include affordable units that are designated to satisfy local inclusionary housing requirements.
o Clarifies that for purposes of qualifying for a density bonus, affordable units for very low or lower income households can be either rental or for-sale units. (Affordable units for moderate income households still must be for-sale units and may not be rental units)
Agenda Packet Page 52
Subject: Zoning Code Density Bonus Update
Date: August 11, 2022
Printed on Recycled Paper
• Sale of Affordable Units to Nonprofit Corporations: SB 728 allows developers in for-sale density bonus housing developments to sell affordable units to nonprofit housing corporations instead of selling the units directly to a low or moderate income homebuyer.
The nonprofit housing corporation must then sell each home to a lower income buyer subject to affordability requirements with a term of at least 45 years, an equity sharing agreement, and a repurchase option in favor of the nonprofit corporation. The nonprofit corporation may be permitted by the local agency to retain the initial subsidy and share of appreciation which is produced from the resale of the affordable unit, so long as the funds are used to promote homeownership for lower income households within the jurisdiction of the local agency.
• Required Submission of Pro Formas: An appellate court ruled in 2021 that local agencies cannot require density bonus applicants to submit pro formas or other documentation required to prove that requested incentives and concessions are necessary to make the housing development financially feasible. The court found that a City of Los Angeles ordinance requiring density bonus applicants to submit information to show incentives and concessions are needed to make the project economically feasible was preempted by state density bonus law because the requirement was based on a former version of the law that has since been revised. However, local agencies can require applicants to show that requested incentives and concessions will result in cost reductions for the project. Schreiber v. City of Los Angeles, 69 Cal. App. 5th (2021).
July 13 Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed amendments to the Zoning Code were presented to the Planning Commission at the July 13th Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed changes and voted 6-0 to recommend that the City Council accept the amendments as presented.
Environmental Review
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b) (3)) in that adoption of the proposed Ordinance will not result in any impacts on the physical environment; and under the general rule that the proposed amendments to the Municipal Code do not have the potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

The increase in the table above shall be in addition to any increase in density required by Subsections A.1, up to a maximum combined mandated density increase of 35 percent if an applicant seeks both the increase required in compliance with a land donation, as well as the bonuses provided by any other qualifying category as described in Subsection A.1. b. Eligibility for increased bonus. An applicant shall be eligible for the increased density bonus provided by this Subsection if all of the following conditions are met. (1) The applicant donates and transfers the land no later than the date of approval of the final subdivision map, parcel map, or residential development application. (2) The developable acreage and zoning classification of the land being transferred are sufficient to permit construction of units affordable to very low income households in an amount not less than 10 percent of the number of residential units of the proposed development. (3) The transferred land is at least one acre, or of sufficient size to permit development of at least 40 units, has the appropriate General Plan designation, is appropriately zoned for development as affordable housing, and is or will be served by adequate public facilities and infrastructure. The land shall have appropriate zoning and development standards to make the development of the affordable units feasible.
(4) No later than the date of approval of the final subdivision map, parcel map, or of the residential development, the transferred land shall have all of the permits and approvals, other than Building Permits, necessary for the development of the very low income housing units on the transferred land, except that the City may subject the proposed development to subsequent design review to the extent authorized by Government Code Section 65583.2(I) if the design is not reviewed by the City before the time of transfer.

The City may choose to grant a density bonus greater than provided by this Section for a development that meets the requirements of this Section, or grant a proportionately lower density bonus than required by this Section for a development that does not comply with the requirements of this Section.
C. Density bonus calculations. The calculation of a density bonus in compliance with this Section that results in fractional units shall be rounded up to the next whole number, as required by State law. For the purpose of calculating a density bonus, the residential units do not have to be based upon individual subdivision maps or parcels.
D. Requirements for amendments or discretionary approval. The granting of a density bonus shall not be interpreted, in and of itself, to require a General Plan amendment, Zoning Map amendment, or other discretionary approval.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 11, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
FROM: Casey Kempenaar, Community Development Director
Eric Singer, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Abandonment of Setback in Larchmont Rosewood Subdivision Summary and Recommendation
The City has been approached by a property owner within the Larchmont Rosewood Subdivision about an existing easement impacting the feasibility of additional construction within the subdivision. Staff is recommending abandonment of an existing 25-foot setback across thirty (30) separate parcels within the Larchmont Rosewood Subdivision, recorded on April 6 of 1983.
Though there are no clear records of what the setback was recorded for, staff has determined that it was most likely recorded as a safety setback from the adjacent parcel to the west, which was previously owned by Southern Pacific Transportation Company. After the Larchmont Rosewood subdivision map was recorded, the adjacent property was sold and subsequently developed into another single-family housing community (Roseville Pointe), thus negating the need for the setback in question.
The following motions are recommended:
Motion 1: Move to determine the proposed amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines; and Motion 2: Move to introduce for first reading, read by title only and waive the full reading of Ordinance No. 2022-_____ an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, Approving Abandonment of an Existing 25-Foot Setback on Thirty Parcels Located Within the Larchmont Rosewood Subdivision (APN 209-0690- 003, -004, -050, -051, -065, -066, 209-0700-005 through -016, -029, -030, 209- 0710-011, -012, -018, -019, --021 through -026)
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
Item 12 Agenda Packet Page 68
Subject: Abandonment of Setback in Larchmont Rosewood Subdivision Date: August 11, 2022
Printed on Recycled Paper
Background and Analysis
The property owner at 5935 Geoffwood Court has requested abandoning the 25-foot setback that runs along the west side of his property. The setback in question runs along every property on the west side of the Larchmont Rosewood subdivision bordering unincorporated Sacramento County, from 5930 Geoffwood Court on the south end to 8045 Ericwood Court at the north end, impacting thirty (30) parcels in total (see Figure 1 below).
Figure 1: Approximate Location of 25-Foot Setback
Although there is not a clear record of the purpose of the setback, staff has determined it was most likely provided as a safety buffer between the homes built within the Larchmont Rosewood Agenda Packet Page 69
Subject: Abandonment of Setback in Larchmont Rosewood Subdivision Date: August 11, 2022
Printed on Recycled Paper
community and the adjacent parcel to the west, which was owned by Southern Pacific Transportation Company at the time.
There may have been plans to build a road, rail line, or other industrial use, which meant the 25- foot setback area was potentially needed to ensure safety or privacy for the Larchmont Rosewood subdivision. Since that time, the area to the west of the Larchmont Rosewood subdivision has been developed into more single-family homes (the Roseville Pointe subdivision), thus negating the need for a 25-foot setback.
In accordance with Government Code Section 66469-66470, a recorded final map may be amended as a result of changed circumstances if the local agency enacts an authorizing ordinance and makes certain specified findings. To support the amendment, the local agency must find that changed circumstances make any or all map conditions no longer appropriate or necessary; a) The modifications do not impose an additional burden on the existing fee owner; b) The modifications do not alter any right, title, or interest in the property shown on the recorded map; and
c) The modified map does not contain any of the grounds for denying a map under Govt C §66474.
The vacation of the setback in question will not pose any additional burden on existing fee owners of any of the parcels in question, does not alter any rights, title, or interests in the properties therein, and the modified map does not contain grounds for denying a map under Government Code Section 66474.
Furthermore, the abandonment of the setback would allow for owners of the parcels in question to more fully utilize their rear and side yards that had previously disallowed accessory structures, pools, and similar uses. Additionally, it would retroactively permit any structures or uses already occurring in the setback area.
To abandon the setback, staff recommends that City Council direct the City Engineer to file or have filed a Certificate of Correction reflecting the abandonment of the 25-foot setback on each affected parcel in the records of the Sacramento County Recorder in substantially the form as seen in Exhibit B of Attachment 1.
Public Outreach
Prior to filing the application for abandonment of the setback, the applicant reached out to each of the property owners affected by the setback to receive signatures of support. In total, seventeen (17) signatures were acquired. Additionally, per Government Code 65090-65091, staff provided public notice to each of the properties affected by the proposed setback abandonment. Staff also provided a copy of the proposed abandonment to all applicable utility agencies. No comments were received.
Environmental Review
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) in that adoption of the proposed Ordinance will not result in any impacts on the physical environment; and under the general rule that the proposed setback abandonment does not have the potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

SUBJECT: Arcade Cripple Creek Trail Project
(formerly known as the Electric Greenway Trail Project) Summary and Recommendation
The Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail Project (Project) will construct a 2.9-mile multi-use trail that will provide bicycle and pedestrian facilities largely following an existing Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) overhead transmission corridor between Arcade Creek Park Preserve and Wachtel Way in both Citrus Heights and unincorporated Orangevale in Sacramento County.
The Project includes a direct connection to the recently constructed Mitchell Village Trail, and will provide access between eight parks, the Sunrise Market Place and to Woodside K-8 School.
The trail will consist of a ten-foot wide paved trail with two-foot wide decomposed granite shoulders and has been specifically designed to minimize impacts to trees. Lighting is included along the entire length of the trail, and the project will construct safe crossings of public roadways and reduce potential flooding impacts by removing existing impediments to the floodway.
This project is a culmination of two decades of city, community and partnership efforts. The project is identified as a Priority 1 (highest priority) project in the City’s General Plan, Bikeway Master Plan and Pedestrian Master Plan. The Project is also a regionally significant trail project, included in the Sacramento Area Council of Government (SACOG) Regional Trail Network, and developed in partnership with the community, Sunrise Recreation and Park District (SRPD), Orangevale Recreation and Park District (ORPD), San Juan Unified School District (SJUSD), and SMUD.
The environmental review was completed in 2019, final engineering design is complete and the Project is ready for construction.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the following resolutions, in order:

(1)Typically, the City authorizes a 15% contingency. However; due to the size of this project a smaller than typical contingency is warranted. In addition, upon contract award, the City will discuss potential costs savings associated with the construction and any savings will be added to the base contingency. (2)As part of the final items of work associated with the Project and as required by the City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance, a Final Tree Impact Assessment will determine the final tree mitigation requirements. At that time, the Project will pay the required tree mitigation fees per Citrus Heights Municipal Code Section 106.39.090 increasing the balance in the Tree Mitigation Fund by approximately $41,720. There are sufficient existing funds in the Tree Mitigation Fund (Fund 261) to cover the balance of the contract with the Sacramento Tree Foundation.
(3)Use of Park Impact Fees and approval of an interest-free SACOG Loan are both items recommended for approval as part of this Agenda Item. The SACOG loan, if approved, will consist of two disbursements, the first being $1,500,000 in FY 22/23, the second for $500,000 in FY 23/24. The loan will require four yearly payments of $500,000 beginning on July 30, 2023. Non-General Fund funding sources are recommended for repayment of the SACOG Loan.
The bids received far exceeded the engineer’s estimate due to a variety of reasons outside the City’s control (discussed in more detail below). As a result, staff evaluated the potential of rejecting all current bids and rebidding the contract; however, rebidding the project brings with it the risk that bids could come in higher. The recent and projected construction climate is extremely volatile and there continues to be material supply chain and labor force issues, causing impacts to material costs, especially electrical items. This is not anticipated to improve in the near future.
In addition, pushing out the schedule another few months puts the already secured grant funds of $5,755,891 at risk due to grant funding obligations/timelines. Deadlines for grant fund expenditures and timely use of funds were agreed to when the city initially accepted the various Agenda Packet Page 82

grant awards. Should the City be unable to deliver the Project within the original grant funding deadlines, forfeiture of any unused funds, as well as repayment of any grant funds spent on the project to date ($661,000), would be required. In addition, future grant awards will also be at jeopardy for failure to deliver an agreed upon project scope.
Background and Analysis
The Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail Project will construct a 2.9-mile multi-use trail that will provide bicycle and pedestrian facilities largely following an existing SMUD overhead transmission corridor between Arcade Creek Park Preserve and Wachtel Way in both Citrus Heights and unincorporated Orangevale in Sacramento County. The Project includes a direct connection to the recently constructed Mitchell Village Trail and will provide direct access between eight public parks, the Sunrise Market Place and to Woodside K-8 School. The project will also provide new recreational and transportation options to numerous neighborhoods throughout the City. The trail acts as a first step to connect to the broader regional trail system in Roseville, Sacramento County, and ultimately Folsom to the American River Parkway.
The trail will consist of a ten foot wide paved trail with two foot wide decomposed granite shoulders and has been specifically designed to minimize impacts to trees. Lighting is included along the entire length of the trail, and the project will construct safe crossings of public roadways and reduce potential flooding by removing existing impediments to the floodway. The Project is a partnership between the City, SRPD, ORPD, SJUSD, and SMUD.
History of Project Development
Over the last two decades the Citrus Heights City Council has taken several intentional actions leading to the provision of a series of creekside trails ultimately culminating in the Project’s current shovel ready status:
• November 2000, the City Council adopted its first General Plan including Goal 38:
Establish a system of creekside trails, passive open space, and parks for public use • August 2011, the City Council adopted its second General Plan, retaining Goal 38 and including a renewed focus on sustainability, complete streets, including policies to adopt a Bikeway Master Plan and Pedestrian Master Plan
• March 2014, the City Council accepted the Creek Corridor Trail Project Feasibility Report directing staff to seek funds to implement the trails only listed as Priority 1 segments (Link: Creek Corridor Feasibility Report)
o The Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail alignment is identified as a Priority 1 (highest priority) trail segment in this report
• December 11, 2015, the City Council adopted the Bikeway Master Plan (Link: Bikeway Master Plan) and General Plan Bikeway Map (Link: Bikeway Master Plan Map) were updated to include the Priority 1 segments (Including the Arcade Cripple Creek Trail) (Link: December 11, 2015 Agenda Packet-See Item 12)
• August 11, 2016, the City Council adopted the Citrus Heights Pedestrian Master Plan (Link: Pedestrian Master Plan) which included the Project as a Priority 1 trail segment (Link: August 11, 2016 Agenda Packet-See Item 12)
• Acting on the priorities identified in the City planning documents, the City applied for Agenda Packet Page 83

funding and in November 2016, the City was awarded a regional Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant in the amount of $350,000 for the preliminary engineering phase of the Project
• September 2017, the City was awarded an ATP SB1 Augmentation Grant in the amount of $5,866,000 for the remainder of the Project (for a total estimated project cost of $7,015,000 including local match requirements)
• June 28, 2018, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing a contract with a design consultant to begin the preliminary engineering and environmental review of the project (Link: June 28, 2018 Agenda Packet-See Item 6)
• June 27, 2019, the City Council adopted the Project Environmental Document (Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration) and Mitigation Monitoring Plan (Link: June 27, 2019 Staff Report)
• On June 27, 2019, the City Council adopted a resolution directing staff to proceed with the final engineering design and right-of-way (ROW) phases of the project (Link: June 27, 2019 Special Meeting Staff Report)
• January 2020, City Council adopted a resolution amending the design contract to continue with final engineering and right-of-way services (Link: January 23, 2020 Staff Report-See Item 9)
• On November 12, 2020, the trail was officially named the “Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail” (Link: November 12, 2020 Staff Report-See Item 11)
• May 2021, the City accepted a Per Capita Park Grant in the amount of $230,891 for a portion of the construction.
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Considerations Throughout the design, the city and design team have worked closely with the Citrus Heights Police Department (CHPD) and Sacramento County Sherriff’s Office to incorporate Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) best practices into all applicable Project elements. CPTED is a concept which groups several ideals of crime prevention together in order to make an area less attractive for crime and criminals. Different strategies will produce different results as each location and the needs of those who occupy it are unique and ever changing. For this Project the following CPTED strategies are most applicable and have been included in the design:
• Increased site distance: Much of the current Project alignment consists of overgrown vegetation and dead ends blocked by fencing. By relocating fences, eliminating dead ends, and removing overgrown vegetation, areas currently hidden from view will be easily seen
• Trail lighting: The Project will install trail lighting along the entire alignment, increasing visibility (and safety) at night
• Paved trail: Currently, there is no easy access for emergency response. By installing a paved trail, emergency response vehicles will be able to drive to areas in need of response, rather than having to travel to the remote areas on foot, reducing response times • Bridges: Two new bridges are designed to be installed as part of the Project, one will replace an existing bridge in Sundance Natural Area and will be installed at a higher elevation due to state, local and federal requirements. The increased height of the bridge Agenda Packet Page 84

Date: August 11, 2022
Printed on Recycled Paper
will also increase sight distance under the bridge. Other elements have been included to reduce the potential for crime and loitering including the installation of rip-rap and trail lighting.
In 2014, SRPD constructed a trail in Arcade Creek Park Preserve, which connects to the Project at its western limits. Prior to the trail construction, this park also was heavily vegetated, and CHPD received regular calls for service. As part of the trail construction, the overgrown vegetation was removed, low hanging tree limbs and tall bushes were trimmed and visibility was significantly increased, allowing for better sightlines throughout the park. As a result of the work in the park, and the construction of the trail increasing access, CHPD’s calls for service at this location have significantly decreased. It is anticipated that, after construction of the ArcadeCripple Creek Trail project, CHPD and SRPD calls for service along the Project alignment will also see a significant decrease.
Action Items for Consideration
Recently, the City released the construction documents and requested public bids. Bids were opened on June 9, 2022, and the low bid received was $8,466,021. In addition to construction costs, several other related “soft costs” (engineering support, construction management, mitigation) are necessary to deliver the project, resulting in a total project cost of $10,374,135.
To that end, staff is recommending the City Council adopt six interrelated resolutions to support the project construction. Each of these actions is briefly summarized below and further discussed throughout the staff report:
1. Park Impact Fee Resolution – This resolution will authorize $75,000 in Park Impact fees within C-Bar-C Park to support trail construction.
2. SACOG Loan Resolution – This resolution will authorize a zero interest $2,000,000 loan from SACOG to allow for the construction of the trail.
3. Construction Contract Resolution – This resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a construction contract with Central Valley Engineering for up to $8,466,021.
4. Construction Management Resolution - This resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract for Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing services necessary during the construction of the Project with Coastland Engineering for up to $823,340.12.
5. Engineering Support Resolution – This resolution will authorize the City Manager to amend an existing agreement with GHD for additional scope to provide engineering support services through the duration of the construction phase of the Project, up to $60,804.69.
6. Sacramento Tree Foundation Resolution – This resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the Sacramento Tree Foundation to install and maintain trees necessary for the project and provide educational planting events for the project up to $135,646.

Park Facilities Impact Fees
As part of the construction for the Project, the use of Park Facilities Impact Fees for portions of the trail construction within C-Bar-C is recommended.
In 1999, the City Council adopted a Park Facilities Impact Fee to maintain existing park and recreation facility standards, and mitigate impacts caused by new development. Shortly after the adoption of the fee, the City entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with SRPD which outlines the collection and use of the fee as well as the process for requesting the fee.
SRPD must obtain prior approval from the City Council before expending the fee. A committee of City and SRPD representatives reviews requests for funding and sends their recommendations to the full City Council for a vote.
The City/SRPD 2x2 Committee (Committee), which consists of two SRPD board members (Board Chair Huber and Board Member Shahan) and two city council members (Vice Mayor Schaefer and Council Member Miller), serves as the reviewing committee. The Committee met on July 21, 2022, to discuss the request and the Committee recommended that Park Facilities Impact Fee funds be used for the Project. Also on July 21, 2022, the SRPD Board voted approval to support the use of Park Facilities Impact Fees in the amount of $75,000 for the Project.
Within the limits of C-Bar-C Park, the Project will construct a new trail, separating it from the dog park by a raised fence, and install trail lighting. The construction of the trail segment that will be within the park meets the eligibility requirements for utilizing Park Facilities Impact Fee funds.
SACOG Loan
To date, the City has secured three grants totaling $5,755,891 and SRPD has authorized use of $75,000 in Park Facilities Impact Fees (pending final approval as part of this City Council item).
Local funds in the amount of $2,543,244 (non-general fund sources) have also been identified for total available funds of $8,374,135. The total cost for implementation of the Project is estimated at $10,374,135, as outlined in the Fiscal Impact section of this staff report, leaving a funding shortfall of $2,000,000.
After opening the bids, and fully examining the costs, staff contacted SACOG regarding various funding options.
SACOG staff informed the City that it recognizes the predicament that many agencies are and will be finding themselves in due to the volatile construction climate. SACOG offers creative funding opportunities in which municipalities can borrow funds to deliver projects in the current fiscal year. Construction of the Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail Project is an excellent candidate for this opportunity. The City has $8,374,135 (including the $75,000 in Park Facilities Impact Fees) committed to the Project and with the loan of $2,000,000, the City will be ready to start construction on the project.
Agenda Packet Page 86
Subject: Arcade Cripple Creek Trail Project
Date: August 11, 2022
Printed on Recycled Paper
SACOG requires the applicant's governing body to certify by resolution the acceptance of the loan and commitment of funds to repay the loan.
Fully funding the Project now will eliminate the need to re-bid the project and avoid risk of construction prices increasing as well as minimize the risk associated with the grant funding and environmental permit requirements and deadlines.
The SACOG loan will be interest-free and consist of two disbursements, the first being $1,500,000 in FY 22/23, the second for $500,000 in FY 23/24. The loan will require four annual payments of $500,000 to begin July 30, 2023. Loan payments will be made utilizing local transportation funds including but not limited to Measure A and SB1 transportation funds. No general funds are proposed for the loan repayment.
Over the past several years, the City has attempted to obtain additional grant funds to cover various aspects of the Project, knowing that construction prices were on the rise. In May 2021, City staff was successful in securing a $230,891 via a Per Capita Park grant to cover additional construction costs for the Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail Project. However, despite ongoing efforts to identify and secure additional funding, the Project was not a competitive candidate for any recent funding programs and prices have continued to climb. Recognizing the need to move this regionally significant project forward, SACOG recommended the loan program to ensure the Project is delivered on a timely basis. Should additional non-general fund options be identified, or costs further reduced, the loan amount can be adjusted accordingly.
Construction Contract
The Project bid documents were advertised on April 29, 2022, and construction bids were opened on June 9, 2022.
In preparation for this Project, and in order to reach a larger pool of contractors, the General Services Department is now utilizing a new online public bidding system. The online platform sends notices to all plan rooms and contractor’s exchanges in the greater Central Valley, Northern California, and the Bay Area. The plans for the Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail project were sent to 15 plan rooms. Eleven contractors downloaded directly from the online platform.
Contractors as far as Utah downloaded the plan set for this Project.
A total of four bids were received and after a thorough analysis, staff has determined that Central Valley Engineering & Asphalt’s base bid of $8,466,021 was the lowest responsive and responsible bid. The complete bid results are shown in the following table:
Bidder Base Bid Additive
Alternate 1
Additive
Alternate 2
Central Valley Engineering & Asphalt $8,466,021 $38,248 -$10,000 B&M Builders $8,493,774 $48,307 $0
Martin Brothers Construction $9,553,295 $36,402 -$8,595 All American Construction $11,811,133 $47,926 -$11,275
Agenda Packet Page 87
Subject: Arcade Cripple Creek Trail Project
Date: August 11, 2022
Printed on Recycled Paper
The engineer’s estimate for the base bid of this project is $6,700,000.
Staff believes the number of bids is a good response, especially as one considers the amount of specialty work involved in this project as the low bidding contractor listed 14 different subcontractors to cover the necessary work.
Immediately upon opening the bids, staff researched which items were higher than the engineer’s estimate and reasoning for the higher costs. In general, almost all items came in higher than estimated. Based on conversations with those in the construction industry, this is a typical response given the current construction climate. While the engineer’s estimate was based on recent project bids and took inflation into account, actual inflation rates over the past several months have far surpassed any previous predictions and there continues to be a high amount of volatility in the construction market, material supply chain issues, and labor shortages, all of which negatively impact current construction bids.
The bid proposal documents identified the total Base Bid price as the basis for comparison and award of a contract. However, the bid package also included two additive alternate (AA) bid items, summarized as follows:
AA 1: Construct four ADA compliant curb ramps at the intersection of Highwood Way and Woodmore Oaks Drive, within the County of Sacramento public right-ofway. As this is outside the limits of the City, it is recommended not to award AA1 at this time, and to coordinate with Sacramento County. Should the County wish to move forward with this item of work, the full cost would be reimbursed by the County.
AA2: As part of the ATP grant requirements, the City is required to coordinate with both the California Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Sacramento Regional Conservation Corps (SRCC) for items of work they are interested in performing.
Both the CCC and SRCC have expressed interest in the tree removal portions of the Project (not stump grinding) but have been unable to commit due to uncertainty in the Project’s schedule. Should either the CCC or SRCC decide to participate, the City will enter into a separate MOU and a change order will be issued to the Project contractor to eliminate tree removals, and add in stump grinding per the price bid under AA2.
After reviewing the proposed bids, staff recommends the City Council award the Base Bid and direct staff to coordinate with both Sacramento County and the CCC/SRCC regarding the two additive alternates.
Construction Management Contract
A professional services agreement is needed to provide Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing services necessary during the construction of the Project. On April 22, 2022, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking qualified firms to provide this service.
A total of five proposals were received on May 20, 2022.
Agenda Packet Page 88
Subject: Arcade Cripple Creek Trail Project
Date: August 11, 2022
Printed on Recycled Paper
The City’s selection team utilized a process consistent with Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM), Chapter 10, which governs consultant selection. A two-part screening process was utilized to evaluate the proposals. All five proposals were first reviewed independently and ranked by each team member using the same written criteria that was set forth in the RFP.
Due to the high quality of the proposals received, all five firms were invited to an interview to further evaluate their overall qualifications. Through this evaluation process, Coastland Civil Engineering, Inc. (Coastland) was determined to be the most qualified consultant to provide the desired services for the Project. Staff opened the budget proposal and completed negotiations to agree upon the final scope of work and budget, which is incorporated into the agreement recommended for approval.
Construction Design Support Contract
On June 28, 2018, the City Council authorized an Agreement for Professional Services (Agreement) with GHD, Inc. (GHD) to provide support for the Project Approval/Environmental Documentation (PA/ED) phase of the Project. On February 28, 2019, April 11, 2019, January 23, 2020, September 10, 2020, and August 11, 2022, the City Council authorized amendments for additional professional services to complete the environmental review, assist with right-ofway services, and develop the final plans for the project.
With the award of the construction contract pending, staff requested a proposal from GHD for construction support services typical of the design engineer, such as reviewing specialty submittal items, responding to construction contractor requests for information (RFIs), providing design support for construction change orders (CCOs), and As Built Drawings.
These additional services require an amendment to the Agreement, for which services will be paid for on an hourly basis. Staff negotiated an amount not to exceed $60,804.69 for Contract Amendment No. 7.
Sacramento Tree Foundation Contract
In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the Project developed an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), adopted by Citrus Heights City Council in 2019, which thoroughly analyzed the potential for environmental impacts. One of the mitigation measures required by the adopted IS/MND includes mitigation for tree removals, outlining how replacement will occur and the criteria for success.
During the community engagement and outreach for the project, tree removal was a significant concern raised by stakeholders. Significant design modifications and best practices were incorporated into to the final engineering design of the Project to minimize tree removal to the extent feasible. As a result, the Project has reduced tree removals by 80% since the Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted by the City Council.
Despite best efforts to minimize tree impacts, trees will be required to be removed for trail construction. In accordance with Citrus Heights Municipal Code Section 106.39.090, the Project Agenda Packet Page 89
Subject: Arcade Cripple Creek Trail Project
Date: August 11, 2022
Printed on Recycled Paper
will pay an in-lieu fee of $298 per trunk inch of protected trees removed, as is required of any project. Tree mitigation funds are held in the City’s Tree Mitigation Fund account, which are then used by the city to “propagate, purchase, plant, protect and maintain trees”.
In order to ensure a high rate of success for mitigation trees, as well as incorporate education, engagement and associated efforts by including the community in the tree planting, staff engaged the Sacramento Tree Foundation to plant trees in an equivalent amount that are yet to be removed as part of the Project. As part of the contract, the Sacramento Tree Foundation will be responsible for replanting and monitoring requirements including:
• 160 tree replanting locations within C-Bar-C Park, Northwoods Park, Sundance Park, and Tempo Park
• Monitoring for three years from their respective planting dates with a minimum 85% survivability rate
• Ongoing educational and community engagement opportunities including:
o A variety of communication outreach components
o A community tree planting event
o Ongoing tree care activities such as community events, in-park signage, and social media messaging.
Recommended tree species include Valley Oak, Blue Oak, Interior Live Oak, Western Redbud, Buttonbush, Cottonwood, Star Magnolia, and Autumn Glory Hawthorne. Due to SMUD planting requirements within proximity to overhead high-voltage lines, tree species are limited in size and placement. Species and locations have been selected in consultation with SMUD to ensure compatibility with all safety requirements.
In order to meet the survivability rate, the Sacramento Tree Foundation must identify failed trees during the tree health monitoring in the fall of year one and replace the trees in the winter of year two. A final monitoring report will be submitted by the Sacramento Tree Foundation.
Tree plantings are anticipated to commence by October 1, 2023 and finish by April 30, 2024.
Maintenance, monitoring, and mapping of the trees would last through April 2027. After the maintenance period has completed tree maintenance responsibility will be the responsibility of the Park Districts (SRPD or ORPD respectively).
A copy of the full scope is included in Attachment 6a.

City General Plan Policies
A network of community trails has been considered since prior to the City’s incorporation. In 2000, with the adoption of the City’s first General Plan, several goals and policies were included to support this effort:
Goal 29: Plan, design, construct, and manage a Complete Streets transportation network that accommodates the needs of all mobility types, users, and ability levels.
Policy 29: Support safe, complete, and well-connected neighbor street, bicycle, and pedestrian access and connections that balance circulation needs with the neighborhood context.
Policy 29.4.F: Update the Bikeway Master Plan (BMP) and complete the proposed bikeway network in Map 8 within 10 years and prioritize projects that close existing gaps in the network Goal 34: Preserve, protect, and enhance natural habitat areas, including creek and riparian corridors, oak woodlands, and wetlands.
Goal 38: Establish a system of creekside trails, passive open space, and parks for public use.
Community Outreach and Engagement
Community outreach and engagement for the Project has taken several forms. All residents who live within 1000’ of either a park through which the trail is proposed, or from the trail itself (whichever is greater) have been notified of all of community meetings and workshops; residents outside this area who attended meetings or contacted the city with Project questions or comments, were also added to the project mailing list and e-mail list.
The Project’s website has been continuously updated to include information about the Project including the development plans and handouts from the community meetings. In addition, a robust Frequently Asked Question (https://www.citrusheights.net/Faq.aspx?TID=69) page has been regularly updated on the Project website. The Project has been the subject of articles in both the Citrus Heights Sentinel and Citrus Heights Messenger. The project was also discussed at SRPD Board meetings, ORPD Board Meetings, City Council meetings, neighborhood meetings, and on multiple public social media platforms. The final plans were released to the public for review and comment, and a comprehensive response to comments was posted to the City’s website.
For additional transparency, a notice to all project stakeholders and interested parties was sent via email with information regarding the consideration of a construction contract at this August 11, 2022 council meeting.
The following meetings/workshops and engagement opportunities have been held on this project:

Environmental Review
On June 27, 2019 the City Council, as Lead Agency, adopted an IS/MND and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the Project. The IS/MND found that all potential environmental impacts were reduced below a level of significance when considered with the MMRP. The MMRP identifies the mitigation measures required to reduce impacts and the MMRP has been incorporated into the construction specifications for the project.
City staff, construction managers, and contractors are responsible for the monitoring of the construction project to ensure all mitigation measures are adhered to. No additional environmental review is required.

report will be considered a breach of the AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.
1. During IOAI’s review of the ICR audit work papers created by the CONSULTANT’s independent CPA, IOAI will work with the CPA and/or CONSULTANT toward a resolution of issues that arise during the review. Each party agrees to use its best efforts to resolve any audit disputes in a timely manner. If IOAI identifies significant issues during the review and is unable to issue a cognizant approval letter, LOCAL AGENCY will reimburse the CONSULTANT at an accepted ICR until a FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) compliant ICR {e.g. 48 CFR Part 31; GAGAS (Generally Accepted Auditing Standards); CAS (Cost Accounting Standards), if applicable; in accordance with procedures and guidelines of the American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Audit Guide; and other applicable procedures and guidelines}is received and approved by IOAI.

a. If the proposed rate is less than one hundred fifty percent (150%) - the accepted rate reimbursed will be ninety percent (90%) of the proposed rate. b. If the proposed rate is between one hundred fifty percent (150%) and two hundred percent (200%) - the accepted rate will be eighty-five percent (85%) of the proposed rate.
c. If the proposed rate is greater than two hundred percent (200%) - the accepted rate will be seventy-five percent (75%) of the proposed rate.
2. If IOAI is unable to issue a cognizant letter per paragraph E.1. above, IOAI may require CONSULTANT to submit a revised independent CPA-audited ICR and audit report within three (3) months of the effective date of the management letter. IOAI will then have up to six (6) months to review the CONSULTANT’s and/or the independent CPA’s revisions.
3. If the CONSULTANT fails to comply with the provisions of this paragraph E, or if IOAI is still unable to issue a cognizant approval letter after the revised independent CPA audited ICR is submitted, overhead cost reimbursement will be limited to the accepted ICR that was established upon initial rejection of the ICR and set forth in paragraph E.1. above for all rendered services. In this event, this accepted ICR will become the actual and final ICR for reimbursement purposes under this AGREEMENT.

Local Assistance Procedures Manual EXHBIT 10-R
Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail Project
Caltrans January 2022
Citrus Heights August 2022
reasonable steps to ensure that DBEs have opportunities to participate in the contract (49 CFR 26). To ensure equal participation of DBEs provided in 49 CFR 26.5, The LOCAL AGENCY shows a contract goal for DBEs. CONSULTANT shall make work available to DBEs and select work parts consistent with available DBE subconsultants and suppliers.
CONSULTANT shall meet the DBE goal shown elsewhere in these special provisions or demonstrate that they made adequate good faith efforts to meet this goal. It is CONSULTANT’s responsibility to verify at date of proposal opening that the DBE firm is certified as a DBE by using the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP) database and possesses the most specific available North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes or work code applicable to he type of work the firm will perform on the contract. Additionally, the CONSULTANT is responsible to document the verification record by printing out the CUCP data for each DBE firm.
A list of DBEs certified by the CUCP can be found at https://dot.ca.gov/programs/civil-rights/dbesearch.
All DBE participation will count toward the California Department of Transportation’s federally mandated statewide overall DBE goal. Credit for materials or supplies CONSULTANT purchases from DBEs counts towards the goal in the following manner:
• 100 percent counts if the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer. • 60 percent counts if the materials or supplies are purchased from a DBE regular dealer. • Only fees, commissions, and charges for assistance in the procurement and delivery of materials or supplies count if obtained from a DBE that is neither a manufacturer nor regular dealer. 49CFR26.55 defines "manufacturer" and "regular dealer." This AGREEMENT is subject to 49 CFR Part 26 entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs”.
CONSULTANTs who enter into a federally-funded agreement will assist the LOCAL AGENCY in a good faith effort to achieve California's statewide overall DBE goal.
B. The goal for DBE participation for this AGREEMENT is 19.0%. Participation by DBE CONSULTANT or subconsultants shall be in accordance with information contained in Exhibit 10- O2: Consultant Contract DBE Commitment attached hereto and incorporated as part of the AGREEMENT. If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
C. CONSULTANT can meet the DBE participation goal by either documenting commitments to DBEs to meet the AGREEMENT goal, or by documenting adequate good faith efforts to meet the AGREEMENT goal. An adequate good faith effort means that the CONSULTANT must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal. If CONSULTANT has not met the DBE goal, complete and submit Exhibit 15-H: DBE Information – Good Faith Efforts to document efforts to meet the goal. Refer to 49 CFR Part 26 for guidance regarding evaluation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.
D. Contract Assurance
Under 49 CFR 26.13(b):
CONSULTANT, subrecipient or subconsultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. CONSULTANT shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR 26 in the award and administration of federal-aid contracts.

must display both commitments and attainments.
G. A DBE is only eligible to be counted toward the AGREEMENT goal if it performs a commercially useful function (CUF) on the AGREEMENT. CUF must be evaluated on an agreement by agreement basis. A DBE performs a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) when it is responsible for execution of the work of the AGREEMENT and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the AGREEMENT, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a CUF, evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the AGREEMENT is commensurate with the work it is actually performing, and other relevant factors.
H. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, AGREEMENT, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.
I. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its AGREEMENT with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of the AGREEMENT than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a CUF.
J. CONSULTANT shall maintain records of materials purchased or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier.
The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE CONSULTANT’s shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work.
K. If a DBE subconsultant is decertified during the life of the AGREEMENT, the decertified subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of decertification. If a subconsultant becomes a certified DBE during the life of the AGREEMENT, the subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to LOCAL AGENCY’s Contract Administrator within thirty (30) calendar days.
L. After submitting an invoice for reimbursement that includes a payment to a DBE, but no laterthan the 10th of the following month, the prime contractor/consultant shall complete and email the Exhibit 9- F: Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Running Tally of Payments to [email protected] with a copy to the Agency.
M. Any subcontract entered into as a result of this AGREEMENT shall contain all of the provisions of this section.
