REGULAR CALENDAR

12. SUBJECT: Citrus Heights Education Committee
STAFF REPORT: A. Van
RECOMMENDATION: Review and discuss the Ad Hoc 2x2 Committee’s recommended work plan for the CHEC and provide direction to staff

City Clerk Van reported that at the March 23, 2023 meeting, Council approved the formation of a limited term Citrus Heights Education Committee to examine the feasibility of a Citrus Heights school district. Council further tasked a City Council 2x2 Education Committee with developing a work plan for the Committee. She provided an overview of the proposed work plan. The Citrus Heights Education Committee is proposed to be composed of seven members, one member appointed by each Councilmember and two at-large members.

She also provided an overview of the proposed timeline for the committee as follows:

DATE ACTION
April 28 Application released and posted on the City’s website; conduct community outreach
May 12 Applications due to the City
May 15 Applications would be sent to Council for review May 25 Council Mtg. Committee members appointed by City Council June – October Committee meetings to be held over a five-month period, or other schedule as determined by the City Council
November 9 Council Mtg. The Committee’s work program is expected to culminate in a policy recommendation to Council in November.

Council Member Lopez-Taff stated she met with Vice Mayor Daniels to work on this proposal and stated they were interested in forwarding the idea without influencing it too much. They discussed the concept of committee members from the community looking at the processes that are involved in forming a school district.

Public Comment

Bill Shirley proposed the City create an advisory committee to look at ways we can support our schools within our city. This committee could include staff members and parents from each school to find out what their wants and needs are. He stated the committee should be focusing on what can we do locally to improve our schools.

He stated by doing this we can achieve a lot more than spending time looking at creating our own district.

Daniel Thigpen with the San Juan Unified School District stated they appreciate the question on the application around past or current employment in the District or attendance at a SJUSD school or volunteering at a SJUSD. The District has a lot of educators and support staff that live and work in Citrus Heights and have personal connections to their schools. This would provide a unique perspective when looking for a diversity of citizens on this committee.

Mayor Schaefer stated this committee is designed to take a comprehensive look at forming a Citrus Heights school district and see if it is viable. He expressed support for the proposed work plan.

Council Member Karpinski-Costa stated this item is not in the Council’s strategic plan. She believes the Council needs to discuss this topic at the next strategic planning meeting and is not in favor of moving forward with the proposed work plan.

106.30.040 - Creekside Development and Flood Hazard Mitigation 106.30.040 A. Purpose. The requirements of this Section shall apply to all proposed development within designated creekside properties and shall comply with all requirements of Chapter 42 of the City’s Municipal Code (Floods). This Section provides standards that are intended to:

1. Protect the natural, scenic, and recreational value of waterway and riparian resources within the City, including the provision of adequate buffer areas between creeks and adjacent development;

2. Ensure that development either avoids areas subject to inundation by a 100 -year flood or more frequent flooding event, or is located and/or designed and protected so that it will not be damaged by flooding, or increase the hazard of flooding on other properties;

3. Protect new development from erosion caused by the meandering nature of the creek system; and

4. Protect the water quality of the creeks.

B. Applicability. The requirements of this Section apply to:

1. Creekside properties. Proposed development, other than public works or infrastructure, on any site adjacent to or crossed by a watercourse that is shown on the map in Figure 3 -1; and

2. Properties within areas subject to flooding. All properties shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as being partly or entirely located in an area subject to flooding by a 100 -year flood or more frequent flooding event, and other areas known to the City to be subject to flooding. These areas shall be referred to in this Section as "flood hazard areas." C. Streambed analysis required. A planning permit application for a project subject to this Section shall include a site-specific streambed analysis prepared by a hydrologist, civil engineer, or other qualified professional approved by the City to identify the precise boundary/top of bank of the waterway. The Director may waive this requirement if it is determined that the project, because of its size, location, or design will not have a significant i mpact on the waterway, or that sufficient information already exists and further analysis is not necessary. A required streambed analysis shall include all information and materials required by the Department and/or the City Engineer.

D. Subdivision requirements. Each new parcel proposed adjacent to a designated tributary shall be designed to provide the lot area shown in the following table for the applicable zone, located outside the 100 -year floodplain of the tributary.

Zoning District Minimum Net Lot Area
RD-1 0.50 acres
RD-2 0.25 acres
RD-3, RD-4 7,500 sf
RD-5, RD-7 Entire lot or 5,000 sf, whichever is less
RD-10 and above Entire area except for common open space and landscape areas
Commercial and Industrial zones Entire area except for landscaping E. Development standards.

1. Location of proposed development. Proposed structures and other development shall comply with the more restrictive of the following requirements.
a. Creek setback for resource preservation. Each proposed structure shall be set back a distance of 2.5 times the height of the stream bank plus 30 feet, as measured from the top of the stream bank outward.
(1) The City may require additional setbacks to preserve existing vegetation or other si gnificant environmental resources along any waterway.
(2) The City may require erosion protection to be placed at creek bends, drainage outfalls, and other locations that are subject to erosion, or where bank steepness indicates that severe erosion is taking, or may take place.
(3) A setback required by the applicable zoning district adjacent to a creekside path or open space area shall be measured from the boundary of the path or open space on the side away from the creek.
(4) A path or trail may be located within a creekside setback; however, no structure, road, parking access, parking space, paved area, or swimming pool shall be constructed within a creek or creekside setback area.

b. Limitations on development within floodpl ain. All construction, except fences, shall be located outside the 100-year floodplain of the tributary. The 100-year floodplain shall be established using the most current data available and a physical survey by a registered surveyor. Current data includes the Flood Insurance Rate Map, historical data from the 1986, 1995 & 1997 flood events, and the county hydrology study. Fences within a floodplain shall be limited to wrought iron or split rail design.

No fill or grading shall be allowed within a 100-year floodplain. Where the review authority determines that an existing parcel contains no feasible building site outside of a 100-year floodplain and that the site complies with an exception outlined in Chapter 42 of the City’s Municipal Code, the City' s Drainage and Development Policy, the review authority may approve construction that complies with the creek setback required by Subsection E.1.a.

2. Standards for development allowed within floodplain. Any development allowed within a 100 -year floodplain in compliance with this Section shall comply with the following standards, as applicable. a. Finished floor elevation. Each approved structure shall be designed to provide all habitable finished floor areas at least two feet above the maximum 100-year water surface elevation. The FEMA 100- year flood elevation may be considered as a minimum level. Historical data from the 1986, 1995 & 1997 flood events, the county hydrology study and other miscellaneous studies shall be used to determine if a higher minimum elevation is required. The venting under the home and venting for a garage shall comply with the standards of the National Flood Insurance Program. b. Fences, culverts, bridges, and drainage improvements. (1) Fences and other structures including culverts and bridges that must be constructed within a floodway shall be designed to the requirements of the Engineering Division to prevent obstructions or diversions of flood and drainage flow, and to minimize adverse effects to natural riparian vegetation.
(2) Where drainage improvements are required, they shall be placed in the least visible locations and naturalized through the use of river rock, earthtone concrete, and landscaping with native plant materials.
c. Anchorage. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure. d. Construction practices and materials. All new construction or substantial improvements shall be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage using methods and practices that minimize flood damage.
e. Water and sewer systems. New and replacement water and sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the systems and discharges from the systems into floodwaters.
f. Floodproofing. Each structure requiring floodproofing shall be designed in compliance with National Flood Insurance Program standards. A FEMA elevation certificate shall be obtained and filed wi th the City prior to occupancy. A registered professional engineer or architect shall certify compliance with the standards of this Section, and the Building Official shall be provided a copy of the certification.

3. Alteration of natural features. No construction, grading or filling, planting of exotic/non -native or non - riparian plant species, or removal of native vegetation shall occur within a creek or creekside setback area, except where:
a. Approved by the review authority in conjunction with an application for rezoning, and/or a planning permit, or through Use Permit approval if no other application has been filed; and Agenda Packet 122

b. Authorized for flood control purposes by the proper permits issued by the California State Department of Fish and Game, and a ll other applicable State and Federal agencies having authority over the creek.

4. Use of permeable surfaces. Proposed development should incorporate permeable surfaces (for example, wood decks, sand-joined bricks, and stone walkways) where feasible, to minimize off-site flows and facilitate the absorption of water into the ground.

5. Creek bank stabilization. Development or land use changes that increase impervious surfaces or sedimentation may result in channel erosion. This may require measures to stabilize creek banks. a. Creek rehabilitation is the preferred method of stabilization, with the objective of maintaining the natural character of the creek and riparian area. Rehabilitation may include enlarging the channel at points of obstruction, clearing obstructions at points of constriction, limiting uses in areas of excessive erosion, and restoring riparian vegetation.
b. Concrete channels are not allowed. and Other other mechanical stabilization measures shall not be allowed unless no other alternative exists.
c. If bank stabilization requires other than rehabilitation or vegetative methods, hand -placed stone or rock rip-rap are the preferred methods.

6. Physical and visual access.
a. Public access and visibility to creeks should be provided, if feasible, through the use of single-loaded frontage roads adjacent to creeks, but outside of the creek setback. Structures or lots that back -up to creeks or creek frontage roads are discouraged.
b. The provision of multipurpose creekside trails an d public open space is encouraged. Open space areas should include planting for riparian enhancement with native shrubs and trees, paths and trails, lighting, benches, play and exercise equipment, and trash receptacles outside of the riparian habitat area, where appropriate.
c. Where streets are not used, frequent access to creekside trails and public open space should be provided at least every 300 feet, and may occur at the end of cul-de-sacs.

7. Best management practices (BMPs) for storm water quality . Development along creekside areas shall be designed to minimize impacts to storm water quality. a. Drainage swales and runoff should be filtered through grassy swales or other BMPs acceptable to the City Engineer to remove street oils, sediments and other site specific storm water environmental hazards.
b. Fertilizer or pesticide usage is discouraged. Plants and trees for landscape areas should be selected that can survive without fertilizers or pesticides. Long-term ponding of water from landscape irrigation shall be avoided.
c. Retention/detention basins will require mosquito abatement.

F. Warning – Liability denied. The degree of flood protection required by this Section is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by manmade or natural causes. This Section does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazards or uses permitted within the areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This Section shall not create liability on the part of the City or by any officer or employee for any flood damages that result from reliance on this Section or any administrative decision lawfully made under this Section.

SUBJECT: Resolution A uthorizing the City Manager to Execute An Agreement with Townsend Public Affairs Not to Exceed $60,000 for the Creation of a Comprehensive Grants Strategy and Implementation Support for a One-year Term

Summary and Recommendation

At the City Council Strategic Planning Retreat on May 10, 2022 a strategic goal was set to “Create a comprehensive grants action plan.”

City staff have achieved a substantial track record of grant awards at the regional and state level.

Grant submissions have been completed ad hoc as opportunities become available. With the addition of the focus area work plan, more aggressive strategic objectives, and significant projects like Sunrise Tomorrow, current staff bandwidth cannot guarantee the maximization of grant opportunities. The above strategic objective was set to create an intentional system that prioritizes, plans, and creates support to increase grant submission volume and the likelihood of success. The comprehensive grants strategy will serve as a tool that clarifies strategic focus on grant objectives and promotes alignment between staff and City Council as grants are pursued.

At the November 10, 2022, City Council meeting, City Council subsequently approved issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for consultant support to create a Comprehensive Grants Strategy.

The RFP was published on November 11, 2022, and received 11 responses. At the City Council Strategic Planning retreat on October 25, 2022, City Council set a strategic objective to “Pending City Council approval, select a consultant to begin creating a comprehensive grants strategy.” Staff oversaw an RFP response review and interview process resulting in a final unanimous consensus to recommend Townsend Public Affairs for contract award. While new to supporting the City of Citrus Heights, Townsend Public Affairs established clear subject matter expertise and experience on grants applicable to the City’s focus areas.

By creating a comprehensive grants strategy and increasing efficiencies to pursue opportunities, staff expects a financial return on this strategic investment through increased grant submissions and awards activity. The built-in consultant support will help alleviate the increased workflow created by the increased volume of target grants. Increased grant revenue helps build financial resilience and achieves the City Council’s priority of fiscal prudence.

Staff recommends allocating $60,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to complete the strategic objective to create a comprehensive grant strategy with associated implementation support for one year.

Background and Analysis

Current Strategic Objective

At the City Council Strategic Planning Retreat on May 10, 2022, a goal was set to “Create a comprehensive grants action plan.” A Comprehensive Grants Strategy has two components. The first component is an inventory and a City Council prioritization of focus areas and projects for grant activity. The second component is a comprehensive funding plan with an extensively researched list of federal, state, and regional grants most applicable to the priority focus areas and projects.

There are many benefits to creating and implementing a Comprehensive Grants Strategy.

Moving from a more ad hoc structure to a holistic strategy will allow the City to achieve increased success with grants. Consolidated and strategic grant efforts will create the ability to prioritize the most important initiatives to match them with the most appropriate funding opportunities. It will also provide the City advance notice to plan for upcoming grant opportunities. The Comprehensive Funding Plan component allows staff to determine which grant opportunities make the most sense and helps staff stay ahead of opportunities. This will result in more thoughtful and ultimately more successful grant applications. It also allows staff to determine when it is in the City’s best interests to forgo a grant opportunity for which the City might not be as competitive or which conflicts with more important tasks or opportunities.

The grant strategy will be implemented and executed by a cross-departmental working group.

The working group will consistently collaborate on the execution of the Comprehensive Grants Strategy with the Economic Development and Community Engagement (EDCE) Department staff. EDCE staff will provide support to the working group by:

• Tracking, prioritization, and submission coordination informed by the comprehensive funding plan.
• Creating an asset library that will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of grant submissions. Assets could include subject matter marketing collateral for turnkey submission, quality data sources for metrics, and sample letters of support. • Ensuring and completing regular reporting of comprehensive grant strategy activity, successes, and return on investment.

Staff will benefit from support and expertise to create a comprehensive grants strategy.

Deliverables will include an inventory of priority focus areas, projects, and a comprehensive funding plan.

RFP Process

The Comprehensive Grants Strategy RFP was released on November 11, 2022, and received 11 responses. The RFP laid out desired deliverables for the creation and implementation of a Comprehensive Grants Strategy as follows:
• Three-year Comprehensive Grant Strategy prioritizing funding opportunities in alignment with the City’s approved focused areas using a comprehensive funding plan; • Inventory of existing and planned projects matching them to identified funding opportunities • Development of a grants tracking tool (to show grants the city applied for, received and those denied)
• Review of existing City policies and plans ex: General Plan, Auburn Specific Plan, Greenhouse Gas (GHG) to support grant applications
• As needed staff support to ensure accurate and complete applications are submitted per deadlines

In accordance with the City of Citrus Heights RFP best practices, staff used a two-step process to evaluate all of the proposals and determine which respondent was most qualified to provide the required services. The process began with an initial review of the proposals to identify the most qualified submittals based on the requirements and scope of work outlined in the RFP. The RFP requested the following information be included in the response: Statement of Qualifications, qualifications of key personnel, previous experience, references, and fee schedule.

Four of the 11 submitted responses were selected to advance to the second step. The second step in the process consisted of team interviews with the finalist firms, where they introduced their key personnel and presented their firm’s approach to developing Comprehensive Grants Strategies, insight on how they would identify grant opportunities for Citrus Heights, and answer staff questions on details including grant tracking, application language templates, and potential ongoing staff support.

Following is a summary of firms that were interviewed and their RFP response. It is important to note that it cannot yet be estimated how many grants will eventually be included in the completed grant strategy. Therefore, it is difficult to estimate the total number of hours of consultant support that may be needed to execute one year of the comprehensive grants strategy.

Some firms provided multiple pricing structures, including monthly retainer, per grant, per hour, and project deliverable. For this comparison matrix, staff selected the easiest pricing structure to quantify for a one-year scope.

1.2 S
tandard of Performance. Consultant shall perform all services required pursuant to this Agreement according to the standards observed by a competent practitioner of the profession in which Consultant is engaged.

1.3 A
ssignment of Personnel. Consultant shall assign only competent personnel to perform services pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that City, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term of this Agreement, requests in writing the reassignment of any such persons to ensure Consultant performs services in accordance with the Standard of Performance, Consultant shall, immediately upon receiving City’s request, reassign such persons.

1.4 T
ime. Consultant shall devote such time to the performance of services pursuant to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to meet the standard of performance provided herein above and to satisfy Consultant’s obligations hereunder.

Sect
ion 2. COMPENSATION. City hereby agrees to pay Consultant a sum not to exceed $60,000 as set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein for services to be performed and reimbursable expenses incurred under this Agreement. This dollar amount is not a guarantee that the City will pay that full amount to the Consultant, but is merely a limit of potential City expenditures under this Agreement.

Co
nsultant and City acknowledge and agree that compensation paid by City to Consultant under this Agreement is based upon Consultant’s estimated costs of providing the services required hereunder, including salaries and benefits of employees and subcontractors of Consultant.

Consequently, the parties further agree that compensation hereunder is intended to include the ITEM 12
Agenda Packet Page 79

Consulting Services Agreement between June 1, 2023
City of Citrus Heights and Townsend Public Affairs Page 2 of 12

costs of contributions to any pensions and/or annuities to which Consultant and its employees, agents, and subcontractors may be eligible. City therefore has no responsibility for such contributions beyond compensation required under this Agreement.

2.1 Invoices.

Consultant shall submit invoices, not more often than once a month during the term of this Agreement, based on the cost for services performed and reimbursable costs incurred prior to the invoice date. Invoices shall contain the following information, unless waived by the City Manager, or his or her designee:

 Serial identifications of progress bills; i.e., Progress Bill No. 1 for the first invoice, etc.;
 The beginning and ending dates of the billing period;  A Task Summary containing the original contract amount, the amount of prior billings, the total due this period, the balance available under the Agreement, and the percentage of completion;
 At City’s option, for each work item in each task, a copy of the applicable time entries or time sheets shall be submitted showing the name of the person doing the work, the hours spent by each person, a brief description of the work, and each reimbursable expense;  The total number of hours of work performed under the Agreement by Consultant and each employee, agent, and subcontractor of Consultant performing services hereunder;
 The Consultant’s signature.

2.2 Monthly Payment.

City shall make monthly payments, based on invoices

2.3 Final Payment. Consultant shall submit its final invoice within 60 days of completing its services. Consultant’s failure to submit its final invoice within this 60 day period shall constitute Consultant’s waiver of any further billings to, or payments from, City.

2.4 Reimbursable Expenses. Reimbursable expenses, if any, are specified in Exhibit B and included in the total compensation referenced in Section 2.

Expenses not listed in Exhibit B are not chargeable to, or reimbursable by, City.

Consultant is solely responsible for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, including employment taxes, incurred under this Agreement.

2.6 Authorization to Perform Services.

Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Consultant from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damage or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall be been determined to apply.

5.2 PERS Indemnification. In the event that Consultant or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Consultant providing services under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City, Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Consultant or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as ITEM 12
