Agenda Item Title:
Annual Adoption of a Resolution to Approve the Ad Valorem 2022-23 Tax Rate for Inclusion on Property Tax Bills to Fund CalPERS Retirement Expenses
________________________________________________________________________________________ Recommended Council Action(s):
Adopt a Resolution entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Cloverdale Setting the Ad Valorem Tax Rate for Public Employee Retirement System Retirement Benefits for Fiscal Year 2022-23.” ________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:
In 1974, the voters of the City of Cloverdale approved a tax to pay for Public Employees’ Retirement System expenses. A tax rate must be computed and approved by the City Council each year and transmitted to the County Auditor-Controller’s Office for inclusion on the property tax bills. The Tax rate must be set by Resolution by the City Council (Attachment 1).
Staff has computed the tax rate of $0.098 per one hundred dollars of assessed value (Attachment 2). The calculation includes fiscal year 2022-23 Auditor Certified Values provided by the County, the projected CalPERS retirement expenses, the PERS rates for safety and miscellaneous members and the reserve requirement. The value of benefits added after the voters approved the tax has been subtracted from the PERS rates before calculating the City’s tax requirements. These “after added” benefits are paid by other available revenues in the General Fund, Enterprise Funds and required contributions from employees. Also, the City has eighteen (18) Public Employee Pension Reform Act “PEPRA” members that are required under state law to pay 50% of the cost of their benefits, which helps reduce the amount of tax required from the voters.
Last year, the Council agreed to establish a rate stabilization reserve fund of $900,000, which was approximately 55% of the estimated expenditures for the fiscal year. The City received revenues of approximately $200,000 more than expected based on assessed property values, ending the year with a projected reserve balance of $1,226,000.
All tax calculations are projections, the City’s annual tax revenue may be higher or lower, based on assessed values as determined by the Sonoma County Assessor. The employee retirement expense estimates are extrapolated from the budget and rates established by CalPERS. Actual expenses may be higher or lower based on actual payroll costs, employee additions or turn-over, and whether new hires are “Classic” or “PEPRA” members.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Summary:
Last year the City reduced the tax rate by 9 basis points from 10.7% to 9.8% per $100 of Assessed Value. This year, retirements costs increased approximately $15,000 over FY 2021-22. However, the County estimates include an increase in assessed value over last year estimates by 9.7% or $123,051,323. This change allows for the tax rate to remain at $ 0.098 per one hundred dollars of assessed value, while increasing the reserve 13 City Council/Successor Agency Agenda Item Summary

balance by $50,000 over 2020-21 maintaining this Fiscal Year 2022-23 reserve balance of 55%. Maintaining the reserve will offset projected increased future costs of the unfunded accrued liability and enable the tax rate to be maintained at a consistent level over time. Maintaining a minimum 50% retirement fund reserve balance is imperative to ensure adequate cash flow is available to pay bi-weekly retirements costs as tax increments payments are received from the County in January and April.
The City has a total CalPERS Unfunded Liability, of approximately $11,718,350 which is amortized over the next 23 years and has an option each year of making a lump-sum payment toward the Unfunded Liability payment or spreading the payment out over the course of the year, the City has opted to make the one-time payment which resulted in a savings in the amount of $28,761.
The City contracted with Bartel and Associates to calculate the Pension Override Tax to verify that the tax has been properly calculated. The difference between staff and Bartel’s calculations were so minimal that it did not affect the tax rate.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution setting a tax rate at 9.8% or $0.098 per one hundred dollars of assessed value for Fiscal Year 2022-23. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Alternative Options:
1. Set Ad Valorem Tax Rate at a higher rate and increase the reserve balance.
2. Set Ad Valorem Tax Rate at a lower rate and decrease the reserve balance.
3. Provide alternative direction to staff.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Subcommittee Recommendation:
None
________________________________________________________________________________________ Budget/Financial Impact:
Continuing the existing tax rate of 9.8% or $0.098 per one hundred dollars of assessed value, should generate about $1,250,000 for the PERS retirement anticipated costs of $1,365,620 program expenses, and maintain an adequate reserve level of $950,000

ACTUARIAL CERTIFICATION
This report presents our analysis of the City of Cloverdale CalPERS Miscellaneous and Safety Plans (“Plans”).
The purpose of this analysis is to calculate the portion of the City’s CalPERS employer contribution that can be paid through City property taxes for the 2021/22 and 2022/23 fiscal years. Future calculations may differ significantly if the Plan’s experience differs from our assumptions or if there are changes in plan design, actuarial methods or actuarial assumptions. The project scope did not include an analysis of this potential variation. Actuarial calculations for other purposes such as plan funding or financial reporting will differ from those shown in this report.
The analysis is based on our understanding of the benefit provisions, actuarial reports and benefit summaries prepared by CalPERS and provided by the City, and on the methodology detailed in this report. Alternative methods could produce different results. The project scope did not include alternate analyses.
We have reviewed CalPERS information for reasonableness, and have relied on that information as the basis of these calculations. We do not make any representation on the accuracy of CalPERS reports.
To the best of our knowledge, this report is complete and accurate and has been conducted using generally accepted actuarial principles and practices. As members of the American Academy of Actuaries, meeting Academy Qualification Standards, we certify the actuarial results and opinions herein.
We are available to answer any questions on this report.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Pension Override Tax Report Page 1
We understand the City of Cloverdale’s property tax can be used to pay for CalPERS retirement benefits effective or contracted before July 1, 1978. The purpose of this study is to estimate the portions of the CalPERS employer contributions and Employer Paid Member Contributions (EPMC) for fiscal years 2021/22 and 2022/23 that are attributable to benefits in effect or contracted before July 1, 1978.
Using the actuarial assumptions and methodology described in this report, we have estimated the portions of the City’s 2021/22 and 2022/23 CalPERS required employer contributions and EPMC for the Miscellaneous and Safety Plans attributable to pre-July 1, 1978 benefit levels and to subsequent benefit improvements. The following summarizes the results of our calculations.

PURPOSE AND METHODOLOGY
Pension Override Tax Report Page 2
The purpose of this study is to estimate the portion of the CalPERS employer contributions for fiscal years 2021/22 and 2022/23 that are attributable to benefits in effect or contracted before July 1, 1978.
CalPERS Miscellaneous Plan Benefits
The benefit in effect on July 1, 1978 for Miscellaneous employees was 2% @ 60 benefit formula, with final 3 year average compensation and 2% COLA Benefit improvements effective after July 1, 1978 that impact the City’s CalPERS contribution rates must be separated. These are:
1 year final average compensation (FAE 1), effective 7/18/1983 2% @ 55 benefit formula, effective 11/13/2000
2% @ 62 benefit formula, effective 1/1/2013. This PEPRA benefit is a lower benefit than the pre-1978 2%@60 benefit and so is not a benefit improvement.

CalPERS Safety Police and Safety Fire Plans Benefits
The benefit in effect on July 1, 1978 for Safety Police and Fire employees was:
2% @ 55 benefit formula, with final 3 year average compensation, industrial disability benefit and 2% COLA
Benefit improvements effective after July 1, 1978 that impact the City’s CalPERS contribution rates must be separated. These are:
Final 1 year average compensation (FAE 1), effective 7/18/1983 2% @ 50 benefit formula, effective 12/25/19891
3% @ 50 benefit formula, effective 7/21/20032
2.7% @ 57 benefit formula, effective 1/1/2013. Although PEPRA 2.7%@55 has a higher benefit than the pre-1978 benefit level, on average the PEPRA formula employer normal cost is lower because PEPRA member contributions are higher.
So it is not considered a benefit improvement.
1 2%@50 benefit improvement was not included in the 2005 study because we were told 2%@50 benefit formula in effect before 7/1/1978.
2 Fire department contracted out in 1997. 3% @ 50 applies to the remaining Police Safety employees. Benefit Multiplier Retirement Age

PURPOSE AND METHODOLOGY
Pension Override Tax Report Page 4
Cost of Benefit Improvements
The actual cost of a defined benefit plan are determined by a number of factors including:
amount of the benefit (which depends on salary, service, and retirement age) how long participants and beneficiaries live to receive payments, investment returns.
There is no perfect way to evaluate the “true cost” of a benefit change. In part this is because the cost can’t be determined until all benefits have been paid. Two other important difficulties arise:
Benefit changes typically change employee behavior, including changes in retirement ages (e.g. earlier retirement when benefits are improved). While retirement ages can be observed post benefit change, determining when participants would have retired without the benefit change is unknown.
Salary negotiations are often influenced by pension benefits. While historical salary can be observed post benefit change, determining what salary participants would have received without the benefit change is unknown.
Following is an example illustrating how lower salaries negotiated in concert with a benefit increase can impact the perceived cost of a benefit improvement.

PURPOSE AND METHODOLOGY
Pension Override Tax Report Page 5
Cost of CalPERS Benefit Improvements after July 1, 1978 We estimated the impact of benefit improvements effective after July 1, 1978 by estimating the increase in the Normal Cost (see Section 3) and the portion of the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (see Section 5) due to the benefit improvements.
The estimated cost of benefit improvements can change from time to time as CalPERS actuarial assumptions change. The biggest impacts are generally from changes in the discount rate or assumed future salary increases.
Cost of CalPERS Benefit in Effect on July 1, 1978
We estimated the cost of benefits in effect on July 1, 1978 by subtracting our estimate of the cost of benefit improvements effective after July 1, 1978 from the total CalPERS employer contribution rates for each year.
CalPERS Normal Cost by Tier
The City participates in CalPERS Miscellaneous and Safety risk pools and CalPERS provides separate valuation reports with the total normal cost and payroll separately for each benefit tier.

Safety Tier 2 Plans
Safety Tier 2 is the PEPRA 2.7%@57 formula. Although it has a higher benefit than the pre-1978 benefit level, the PEPRA employer normal cost is lower because on average, PEPRA member contributions are higher. Therefore, the cost of 2.7%@57 benefits can be paid from the Pension Override Tax.

Future Normal Cost Projection
(for Illustrative Purposes Only)
Each year in the future, Miscellaneous and Safety classic members in Tier 1 will leave employment with the City and be replaced by employees in the PEPRA tiers. As this happens, the portion of the City’s normal cost that is attributable to post-July 1, 1978 benefit improvements will decrease, PEPRA members’ benefits are lower than (PEPRA) the pre-July 1, 1978 benefit level. The following chart illustrates that anticipated change.
The chart is based on the following assumptions:
7.00% discount rate used in the 6/30/20 CalPERS valuation; does not reflect the 2021 discount rate change to 6.8% or the impact of future discount rate reductions anticipated from CalPERS’ Risk Mitigation policy. No other changes in CalPERS actuarial assumptions after the 6/30/20 valuations are included. All PEPRA benefit formulas effective January 1, 2013 are equal or lower than the pre-1978 benefit level.
All future hires receive the PEPRA benefit.
Payroll for classic members decreases to zero in 2041/42 in a straight line.
Miscellaneous: Projection of Post-1978 Normal Cost
Conclusion: When all active Miscellaneous members are in the PEPRA tier, none of the normal cost will be attributable to post July 1, 1978 benefit increases. 31 SECTION 3
NORMAL COST ANALYSIS
Pension Override Tax Report Page 12
Safety: Projection of Post-1978 Normal Cost
Conclusion: When all active Safety members are in the PEPRA tier, none of the normal cost will be attributable to post July 1, 1978 benefit increases. 32 SECTION 4
EMPLOYER PAID MEMBER CONTRIBUTIONS
Pension Override Tax Report Page 13
The City makes Employer Paid Member Contributions (EPMC) for Classic Tier 1 Miscellaneous and Safety employees: 7% and 9% of PERSable payroll for Miscellaneous and Safety, respectively. The City’s legal counsel has concluded that EPMC can be paid from the pension override tax.
The member contributions for Miscellaneous 2%@60 and Safety 2%@55 benefit formulas in effect before 7/1/1978 were both 7% of PERSable payroll. The member contributions for Miscellaneous 2%@55 benefit formula is 7% of PERSable payroll and the member contributions for Safety 3%@50 benefit formula is 9% of PERSable payroll.
Therefore, all of the 7% EPMC for Miscellaneous Tier 1 employees is attributable to the Pre-1978 benefit level. For Safety Tier 1 employees, 7% of the total 9% EPMC is attributable to the Pre-1978 benefit level and 2% is attributable to the Post-1978 benefit level.
The following tables separate the current EPMC for Miscellaneous and Safety Tier 1 between amounts attributable to post-July 1, 1978 benefit improvements and the remaining attributable to benefit levels in effect at July 1, 1978:

UNFUNDED ACTUARIAL ACCRUED LIABILITY ANALYSIS
Pension Override Tax Report Page 14
Allocation of Current Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability The Plans’ current unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) must be analyzed to determine what portion of that UAAL is attributable to benefit increases after July 1, 1978. We have used the following assumptions in our analysis:
CalPERS actual investment returns from June 30, 1984 through June 30, 2021. Actual returns before 1984 were not available. We estimated each year’s investment return from July 1, 1978 to June 30, 1984 as the average return from 1984 through 2021.
City PERSable Payroll was estimated as:
1995 – 2020: Based on CalPERS actuarial reports
Prior to 1995: projected backward using 2.75% annual total payroll decrease No adjustment made for prior retirement property taxes different from our model.
Methodology
We developed the UAAL allocation as follows:
1) We applied the normal cost rate attributable to the pre July 1, 1978 benefit level to the PERSable payroll for each year beginning in 1978/79. Normal cost amounts were accumulated to the present with the actual (or assumed, prior to 1984) investment return in each year
2) We applied the normal cost rate attributable to post July 1, 1978 benefit increases to the PERSable payroll in each year after the increase was effective. These amounts were accumulated to the present with the actual (or assumed, prior to 1984) investment return in each year
3) The June 30, 2020 UAAL was then allocated to pre- and post-July 1, 1978 in proportion to the two accumulated balances (1) and (2) above.
This methodology does not take into account any actions the City may have taken in regards to the pension override tax in prior years.

DEFINITIONS
Pension Override Tax Report Page 24
Present Value of Benefits (PVB): An actuarial valuation begins with participant data (including active employees, former employees not in payment status, participants and beneficiaries in payment status) at the valuation date. Using this data and actuarial assumptions, the actuary projects future benefit payments. The assumptions model, among other things, when people will retire, terminate, die or become disabled, as well as what future benefits might be, depending on such things as future salary increases and cost of living. Those future benefit payments are discounted, using expected future investment return and the likelihood of receiving a benefit, back to the valuation date. This discounted present value is the plan's present value of benefits. It represents the amount the plan needs as of the valuation date to pay all future benefits – if all assumptions are met and no future contributions (employee or employer) are made.
Normal Cost (NC): The Present Value of Benefits is not funded immediately upon an employee’s hire. Instead it is treated as deferred compensation and funded over an employee’s working career. The Normal Cost represents the portion of the present value of benefits allocated to, or expected to be earned (on an actuarial, not actual, basis) in the coming year. The Normal Cost is paid by employees and the employer each year as a percentage of PERSable payroll.
Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL): This represents the portion of the present value of benefits that participants have earned (on an actuarial, not actual, basis) through the valuation date, or allocated are considered to be allocated to periods of past service. This includes the full PVB for retirees and inactive participants, and a portion of the PVB for current active employees.
Plan Assets: This includes funds that have been accumulated in CalPERS’ trust fund so they can pay plan benefits and expenses. Amounts are attributable to contributions made by employees and the employer, and to past investment earnings. Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL): If all actuarial assumptions had always been exactly met, the accumulated plan assets would equal the actuarial accrued liability. The difference between the actuarial accrued liability and plan assets is the UAAL. It represents the amount of the actuarial accrued liability that must still be funded.
In each actuarial valuation, the plan actuary calculates the increase or decrease in the UAAL from several sources including investment return, experience different than expected, and plan changes. Each of these is a new UAAL layer which is amortized – paid off (or credited) over time in the employer contributions. The total UAAL amortization payment is paid monthly as a separate portion of the employer contribution.

Policy for the Outdoor Display of Flag by the City.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Recommended Council Action(s):
Adopt a Resolution entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Cloverdale Approving a Police for the Outdoor Dis Outdoor Display of Flag by the City of Cloverdale and Provide Direction to City Staff on Next Steps.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:
The City maintains flag poles on City owned property including City Hall, Cloverdale Police Department, Library, City Park and Wastewater Treatment Plant. The U.S. Flag and California State Flag are displayed on City owned/maintained flag poles in accordance with the Federal and State laws (Title 4, Chapter 1 of the United States Code and Sections 430 through 439 of the California Government Code).
From time to time the City has flown commemorative flags including the commemorative flag bringing attention to Violence against Children and the Pride (rainbow) Flag in recognition of Pride Month. The raising of commemorative flags by the City has been in conduction with adoption of corresponding proclamation by the City Council. However, the City of Cloverdale does not have a formal policy regarding the display of such flags or the display of commemorative flags.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Summary:
The display of commemorative flags at City facilities can raise First Amendment Free Speech issues, depending on whether the flag is treated as government speech or private speech on public property. Display of commemorative flags by the City could subject the City to First Amendment scrutiny for allowing private speech on public property. If a flagpole was deemed to be a “limited public forum” under the First Amendment, the City could not pick and choose what commemorative flags to fly, except on a contentneutral basis. However, under the government speech doctrine, the City may advance its own speech without requiring viewpoint neutrality when the government itself is the speaker, so long as the City does not show religious preference or encourage a certain vote in an election.
Adoption of a flag policy is recommended to ensure that any commemorative flags flown at City Facilities is considered City speech. In order to ensure that any policy adopted by the City council addresses potential First Amendment Free Speech issues, a flag policy should:
1. Establish standards and procedures for the display of flags at City facilities;
2. Reflect Federal and State laws and the City’s practices and customs; and
3. Be structured in a manner that treats commemorative flags as government speech.
The policy should clearly state that the City flagpoles are not intended to serve as a forum for free expression by the public.

Item No. D5
On June 3rd, the City Council received a staff report from City staff, reviewed flag policies from nearby cities and directed staff to draft a Flag Policy for the City Council’s consideration. In response, staff drafted an “Outdoor Display of Flags” policy establishing standards and procedures for the display of flags at City facilities. The policy reflects Federal and State laws and the City’s practices and customs and is structured in a manner that treats commemorative flags as government speech. The policy prohibits third party requests for commemorative flag displays and only allows for the display of commemorative flags when the request is brought forth by a City Council member and authorized by the City Council as an expression of the Council’s official sentiments.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Options:
1. Provide alternative direction to City staff and/or refer the policy matter back to a Council Subcommittee for further deliberation and policy development; or
2. Do not adopt a flag Policy (not recommended).
________________________________________________________________________________________ Subcommittee Recommendation:
Development of a flag policy was discussed by the Finance Administration & Police Subcommittee on August 3, 20200 and recommended for consideration the City Council. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Budget/Financial Impact:
There is no immediate budget or financial impact associated with adopting a flag policy. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Attachments:

Agenda Item Title: Update on PG&E’s Sustainable Solutions Turnkey (SST) Program for energy efficiency projects.
Recommended Council Action(s):
Receive a presentation on PG&E’s Investment Grade Audit Results and Options for the Sustainable Solutions Turnkey (SST) Program, provide direction on four options and direct staff to return with a financing plan. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Background: Stainable Solutions Turnkey (SST) Program offered by PG&E for municipalities is intended to provide a turnkey, comprehensive approach towards designing, building, managing, commissioning, monitoring and validating energy savings and water conservation projects. Projects are funded from energy cost savings over a multi-year term that matches the energy cost savings. No upfront payments are required.
The program essentially allows for a streamlined solution to implementing energy conservation projects with the goal of implementing energy saving projects at City facilities and using the money saved from reduced energy use and operational maintenance costs to pay the debt service for the design and construction of the project.
The City has been working with PG&E and their subcontractor Centrica Business Solutions to identify energy efficiency projects at City facilities. Staff along PG&E and Centrica have completed two walkthroughs of City facilities. This exercise is known as the “Preliminary Assessment”. Projects identified through the Preliminary Assessment include interior and exterior lighting, HVAC replacement, photovoltaic, water pump station upgrades, wastewater aeration, and thermostats. An additional project not considered in the initial Preliminary Assessment is the installation of electronic water meters. The installation of the electric water meters has been evaluated and shows a positive rate of return. As a result, the electronic water meters have been included in the suite of project. Based on positive findings in the Preliminary Assessment staff with PG&E proceeded to the next two phases, the Investment Grade Assessment and the Procurement / Project Approval.
Project Options: Four options are being presented as a part of this presentation. Staff is seeking direction from the Council on the four options.
Option 1 - Lighting, HVAC, Water Meters & Solar PV + Gridbee System This option includes all the completion of all measures (See attachment 1) Total $8,814,576
First Year Energy\Water\O&M Savings: $567,648
Simple Payback 15.5 years
60 City Council/Successor Agency Agenda Item Summary
Meeting Date: August 10, 2022
Item No. G1
Option 2 - Lighting, Reduced HVAC, Water Meters & Solar PV + Gridbee System This option eliminates the HVAC replacement at the Library and Senior Center. These HVAC projects could be eliminated because the City does not pay the electric utility bill at the Senior Center and the Library, resulting in no energy cost reduction. There will be reduced maintenance cost, however.
Total $8,547,797
First Year Energy\Water\O&M Savings: $565,187
Simple Payback 15.1 years
Option 3 - Lighting, Water Meters & Solar PV
This option eliminates the Gridbee wastewater aeration system.
Total: $7,884,824
First Year Energy\Water\O&M Savings: $540,448
Simple Payback: 14.6 years
Option 4 - Lighting, Reduced HVAC, Water Meters & Solar PV This option eliminates the HVAC replacement at the Library and Senior Center and the Gridbee wastewater aeration system. The HVAC project elimination reasoning is stated above. The proposal for the eliminate the Gridbee wastewater aeration system stems from its expensive and 25-year pay back.
Total $7,618,045
First Year Energy\Water\O&M Savings: $537,987
Simple Payback 14.2 years
Next Steps: Once staff receives consensus from the City Council on which option to pursue, a financing plan will be developed. Staff will return the Council at that point for review and approval of the plan. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Options:
Provide alternate direction to staff.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Subcommittee Recommendation:
Bring forward to Council for consideration.

by CA Title 24.
Streetlights
We are upgrading all city-owned
streetlights throughout the city
HVAC Replacement
Replace existing gas/electric
HVAC package units, split
systems and unit heaters with
high efficiency units using the
more environmentally friendly
R410 refrigerant. Install new
thermostats in zones throughout
building to increase temperature
control capability of HVAC
system.
Solar Photovoltaics
Install 900 kW solar photovoltaic
ground-mount structures at the
WWTP to offset 1,147,000 kWh
electric consumption using RESBCT (Renewable Energy Selfgeneration Bill Credit) at multiple city sites.
Solar + Storage
Solar PV at the Wastewater
Treatment Plant will use the
PG&E RES-BCT (Renewable
Energy Self-Generation Bill Credit
Transfer) Program.
This program will allow for
sending power to the
Wastewater Treatment Plant as
well as the City Pumping Station.
WWTP Aeration System
Upgrade

80 Project Objectives
• Upgrade mechanical systems across City at or near end of useful life
• Explore potential of upgrading at Library and Senior
Center currently being leased
• Upgrade lighting systems to more energy efficient and longer lasting technology
• Improve lighting quality at facilities/occupant comfort • Meet or Exceed CA Energy Code (Title 24)
• Maximize solar installation to improve Cloverdale’s use of green energy and reduce energy cost
• Upgrade WWTP Mixer technology
• Upgrade City-wide water meters
81 Project Considerations
• Incorporate measures under a single financed project
adhering to CA Government Code 4217, budget neutral over life of term
• Reduce overall energy cost while increasing use of clean energy
• Accomplish without sacrificing occupant comfort
• Upgrade optics of facilities and public perception of sustainability management
• Reduce man-hours needed for collecting water usage and reduce wasted water
• Public outreach for changes to water usage
82 Measures - Evaluated
Lighting
Replace/ retrofit incandescent,
fluorescent, and HID lighting with
LED. Install occupancy and
dimming controls where required
by CA Title 24.
Streetlights
We are upgrading all city-owned
streetlights throughout the city
HVAC Replacement
Replace existing gas/electric
HVAC package units, split
systems and unit heaters with
high efficiency units using the
more environmentally friendly
R410 refrigerant. Install new
thermostats in zones throughout
building to increase temperature
control capability of HVAC
system.
Solar Photovoltaics
Install 900 kW solar photovoltaic
ground-mount structures at the
WWTP to offset 1,147,000 kWh
electric consumption using RESBCT (Renewable Energy Selfgeneration Bill Credit) at multiple city sites.
Solar + Storage
Solar PV at the Wastewater
Treatment Plant will use the
PG&E RES-BCT (Renewable
Energy Self-Generation Bill Credit
Transfer) Program.
This program will allow for
sending power to the
Wastewater Treatment Plant as
well as the City Pumping Station.
WWTP Aeration System
Upgrade
Install six GridBee model AP7000F
floating style mixers, three in Cell
2A, two in Cell 2B and one to be
placed in Cell 3A. This equipment
will decrease the mixing horsepower
required from 105 hp to 19 hp.
This measure also includes two 20
hp Aerzen blowers (includes one full
piped in spare) to produce the 360
cfm air required for the site.
Existing aerators will be left in place
to serve as a backup and as
additional aeration if the loading is
higher than expected.
EV Charging Stations
Install Level 2 or Level 3 EV
chargers located downtown for
shoppers to charge their electric
vehicles.
Water Meters
Replace 3,329 meters with new
high accuracy meters utilizing
AMI technology

Adoption of the Homelessness Strategic Plan
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ Recommended Council Action(s):
Adopt a Resolution entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Cloverdale Adopting the Cloverdale Homelessness Strategic Plan.:
Background
Cloverdale, like many other jurisdictions in California and the Country, experienced a rapid rise in issues related to homelessness. In response, the City Council, 2018 referred the issue of homelessness to the Finance, Administration and Police Subcommittee to receive public input and develop a set of recommendations for the City Council. The Subcommittee discussed homelessness over a series of Subcommittee meetings held from June 2018 through February 2019. During the Subcommittee meeting held on October 25, 2019, a large crowd of 50+ people attended the meeting to provide input on the matter. Some of the public comments made a serious and significant “call for action” by the City.
As a result, staff presented the Draft Homelessness Strategic Plan Framework on March 13, 2019, to the City Council. At the time the Council conducted its initial review of the Homelessness Strategic Plan Framework it also authorized the creation of the Cloverdale Homelessness Community Advisory Group. The goal of the advisory group was to review the Draft Homelessness Strategic Plan Framework (attached) and begin that development of a Formal Strategic Plan that reflects the values and input of our Community. The Strategic Planning process was designed to:
1. Guide the City’s planning efforts for homelessness;
2. Obtain community buy in and support for potential solutions that can be employed locally;
3. Outline goals and potential strategies; and
4. Guide the establishment of a process for development of a Formal Strategic Plan _________________________________________________________________________________________ Summary:
The Draft Homelessness Strategic Plan is intended to align with regional efforts led by Sonoma County, in particular Supervisors Gore’s District 4 Homelessness Task Force. The documents provides a framework for categorizing input provided by the people who live and work in Cloverdale and surrounding unincorporated area. It is intended to reflect their understanding of the local conditions, challenges, and opportunities for addressing homelessness here in our community.
Given the Strategic Plan contains seven goals with thirty-six supporting actions, and the nature of our small staff and community, implementation of the entire plan is challenging. With this in mind, in order to focus on the immediate needs of the community, a survey conducted by the City of Cloverdale asking residents to rank their priorities for implementation. Over the course of several months, the survey received many responses that helped narrow the focus of the Advisory Group’s efforts. The table below lists the top ten priorities identified by the community and are now reflected in the Homelessness Strategic Plan Framework. 97 2
Rank Top Priority Identified in Community Survey Relates to Goal 1 Fire Prevention Goal 2
2 Mitigate impacts on private property Goal 2
3 Identify people at risk of homelessness Goal 3
4 Expand enforcement and surveillance Goal 2
5 Lobby for expanded mental health Goal 6
6 Establish regular communication with those who interact with homeless
Goal 4
7 Collaborate with local agencies to lobby for criminal justice
Goal 6
8 Implement a fund for those at risk of homelessness Goal 6 9 Provide field-based outreach to connect those in need to services
Goal 3
10 Expand outreach Goal 4
Staff is recommending adoption of the attached resolution formally accepting the Homelessness Strategic Plan. The main difference between the current version and the version reviewed at the March 13, 2019, meeting is the inclusion of the survey results.
Staff believes it’s important to officially adopt the Homelessness Strategic Plan Framework by resolution for potential future funding opportunities.

HOMELESS CENSUS & SURVEY 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 102 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Cloverdale has developed a Homelessness Strategic Plan to help guide and coordinate efforts to prevent and alleviate homelessness within the Cloverdale community. The Framework is developed by the City of Cloverdale and its community partners to address the homelessness crisis.
In order to identify meaningful, substantive and relevant strategies, the City intends to rely on extensive community input. The core of this Plan is intended to be the Strategic Plan Framework, found in Section V on page 13 of the Plan and presented on the following page of this summary. The framework outlines the Vision for Success, Guiding Principles, and seven primary Goals that the Plan intends to achieve. Each goal will be connected to a series of Supporting Actions, with detailed recommendations for successful implementation. The Supporting Actions are presented in detail in Section VI. Performance measures are outlined in Section VII will be used to monitor the effectiveness of the Plan.
This Strategic Plan is intended to align with regional efforts led by Sonoma County. The purpose of the document is to provide a framework for categorizing input provided by the people who live and work in Cloverdale and surrounding unincorporated area and is intended to reflect their understanding of the local conditions, challenges, and opportunities for addressing homelessness here in our community.

2 Vision of Success
Homelessness is declining steadily, as people are finding permanent housing with services as needed, while public safety and health concerns are alleviated.
Many factors have come together to create this Vision of Success in Cloverdale:
There is a Plan in place with solid support from all sectors. Our Plan is being implemented by a closely coordinated network of local organizations. Our solutions are responsive to the diverse needs of individuals. It is a sustainable initiative that is fully aligned with a larger regional effort. The City is proactively engaged in homelessness advocacy efforts. The services and supports provided are helping to stabilize lives and create hope for the future.

• Webelieve the safety and well-being of the community is a priority, including people experiencing homelessness. Any individual (homeless or otherwise) who commits a criminal act will be prosecuted according to the law.
• Our Plan is flexible to adapt to changing conditions over time. • We assess the effectiveness of our Plan to address homelessness by tracking outcomesthat are meaningful indicators of success.
• We recognize homelessness is not a crime.

4 I. INTRODUCTION
Purpose of Strategic Plan
The City of Cloverdale developed a draft strategic Plan to increase efforts to prevent and alleviate homelessness within the City. The increasing presence of people experiencing homelessness has led to public health and safety concerns, along with a desire to provide compassionate, effective solutions. Community organizations, the City, and residents in Cloverdale have already taken steps to help the homeless living in our community and have provided funding or labor to support these efforts.
Given the complex nature of the homeless challenge, however, a more coordinated, integrated effort is now required. The challenge is bigger than any single public or private entity or local city acting on its own can surmount. The purpose of developing the Plan collaboratively is to leverage existing resources, identify new strategies and resources, and align with a regionwide Homeless Initiative that is being led by the County of Sonoma. Success requires an overarching strategy and shared goals that will tie all our actions together toward a common purpose.
To create this shared framework for action, the City established a Community Advisory Group consisting of community members, business interests, not-for-profits and faith-based organizations who can help address the challenge of homelessness. The Goal of the City was to establish the Cloverdale Homelessness Task Force to hold a series of meetings, wherein advisory group members will share their ideas and views based on their experience working with and interacting with the homeless, and to help input has form the core content of a Homeless Strategic Plan. The Plan is designed to be a three-five-year Plan
106
5 Overview of the Strategic Plan
Following this introduction, Section II of the Strategic Plan provides an overview of the current state of homelessness in Cloverdale and a description of past and current efforts to reach out to and help the homeless members of our community. This section also describes how the Cloverdale Plan relates to and supports the larger regional efforts being undertaken by the County of Sonoma to address homelessness.
Section III is an overview of some of the best practices from other cities and counties around the country.
Section IV portrays the community outreach and Planning process used to generate information for development of this Plan. Findings from the outreach including stakeholder interviews and a community survey are provided in the appendices, separately Section V contains the Strategic Plan framework, which is the core of this Planning document. It consists of a Vision for Success, Guiding Principles, seven primary Goals, and their corresponding Performance Measures.
• The Vision for Success describes the desired impact on homelessness we are striving to achieve in the future through the successful implementation of this strategic Plan. • Guiding Principles are the long term, underlying beliefs and values that have shaped our approach to the homelessness challenge.
• Goals are broad statements of direction that define the key results we are striving to achieve. • Performance Measures are the metrics that will be used to monitor the progress of the Plan and to provide feedback if there is a need to modify the Plan to achieve its goals.
Section VI presents the Goals with Supporting Actions that will be carried out to achieve each Goal.
There is a specific Action Plan for each Goal, which identifies the supporting actions along with:
• An organization that will have lead responsibility for that action • Supporting partners that will work with the lead agency, • Required resources, and
• Estimated timeframe for implementation.
Section VII concludes with a directory of resources for addressing homelessness, including ways for members of Cloverdale community to join this effort and for individuals experiencing homelessness to seek help.

6 II. BACKGROUND
State of Homelessness in Sonoma County Cloverdale
The Sonoma County Homeless Census & Survey 20201 provides a snapshot of the Homeless population in Sonoma County. The biennial homeless count for Sonoma County conducted on February 28, 2020, and responses to a survey taken by 444 homeless people in the weeks that followed identifies the Longitudinal Trend of homelessness in Sonoma County. Homeless residents in Sonoma County: 2,745 (down from latest peak of 2,996 in 2018 following the 2017 firestorm).:
State of Homelessness in Sonoma County Cloverdale
Cloverdale is part of the north county region including Healdsburg, Town of Windsor and unincorporated area. In recent years, Cloverdale has witnessed a decrease in the number of homeless (sheltered and unsheltered) living in our community. From 2018 to 2020, the population experiencing homeless declined from 80 persons to 33. According to the most recently available data (Source: 2020 Sonoma Homeless Point in Time Census Page 12), the number of homeless in Cloverdale consist of 29 unsheltered and 4 sheltered individuals for a total of 33 homeless. The 2022 count is expected to reveal a further decline in the homelessness population.
1 A new homeless count was conducted in 2022. Data from that count has not yet been released at the time of this writing. 108
7 Community Efforts to Address Homelessness
Efforts to help the homeless in Cloverdale have been underway for many years, including several community-led initiatives. It is extremely likely that the number of homeless in Cloverdale would be even higher than it is today were it not for the dedicated efforts of these groups, most of whom collaborate with each other while receiving financial support from the City of Cloverdale. • Wallace House Homeless Services Emergency, Transitional & Supportive Housing • Reach for Home
• Alexander Valley Healthcare
• St. Vincent de Paul @ St. Peter’s Church
• Catholic Charities

8 City of Cloverdale and Sonoma County Homeless Programs City of Cloverdale
The City of Cloverdale works to address issues regarding affordable housing and homelessness on many fronts including providing funding and/or staff support to the community-based initiatives described in the previous pages.
Sonoma County
Sonoma County works together with other local jurisdictions to reduce homelessness through a variety of planning and funding processes. Sonoma County’s Coordinated Intake Project offers a single access point for intake into all homeless services. Beginning in February 2015, families with children who are currently experiencing homelessness may enroll in the Coordinated Intake project by dialing 2-1-1 during business hours.
The Sonoma is staffed by volunteers who provide the link between people who have needs with the services that can alleviate those needs. Click on the link above or simply dial 2-1-1 on your phone.
The Sonoma County Taskforce for the Homeless publishes the Homeless Resource Guide listing many governmental agencies, housing authorities and non-profit organizations that provide housing and supportive services to homeless people throughout Sonoma.
Sonoma County Sheriff County
The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) is responsible for providing law enforcement services in Sonoma County. The SCSO is a critical partner for addressing crime in the unincorporated area around Sonoma County.

9 Cloverdale Homelessness Program and Sonoma County Building HOMES: A Policy Maker’s Toolbox for Ending Homeless
Many cities in Sonoma County including the City of Cloverdale are broadening the collective impact by undertaking local Planning initiatives to combat homelessness.
A Policy Maker’s Toolbox for ending homelessness by 2025.
On August 25th, 2015, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors in their role as the Sonoma County Community Development Commission, embraced the Toolbox as the focus for a vast tenyear effort to end homelessness in all communities of Sonoma County. Built upon best practices and demonstrating the depth of the challenges before cities and the County, the Toolbox is a comprehensive set of options (or “tools”) for use to provide safe, secure and sustainable homes for those most in need. This effort will begin with the development of an Implementation Plan which will be brought back to the Board and the launching of a robust effort to build new collaboration among all interest working to end the tragedy of homelessness.” The Sonoma County Toolbox is focused on three strategic objectives. The objectives to support the Toolbox prime Goal to reduce the number of homeless persons to zero is to focus on 1.) Housing,
2.) Income, and 3.) Health as identified by the Continuum of Care’s 10-Year Homeless Action Plan 2014 Update.
Many of the regional strategies that support these key areas are beyond the capabilities of a city the size of Cloverdale with no housing authority or dedicated homeless services infrastructure.
However, the City of Cloverdale is actively working with Sonoma County to support the regional effort and Cloverdale’s Homelessness Strategic Plan includes meaningful contributions, as follows:
Prevent Homelessness
Cloverdale Goal 3: Implement programs to prevent homelessness among residents of Cloverdale.
Provide Case Management and Services
Cloverdale Goal 4, Supporting Action 4a: Provide field-based outreach to connect homeless individuals with services and permanent housing options.
Create a Coordinated System
Cloverdale Goal 4, Supporting Action 4c: Establish regular communication among all who regularly interact with the homeless in order to share information.
Cloverdale Goal 7c. Align the Cloverdale program with the Sonoma County Housing Toolbox and coordinate with nearby cities on shared strategies.
The City of Cloverdale Homelessness Strategic Plan Framework provides a framework to coordinate and leverage the local community-initiated efforts undertaken in recent years by organizations such as the Wallace House, and the faith-based community. A Homelessness Community Advisory Group that will be appointed by the City Council (Goal 7, Supporting Action 7a) will serve as the primary forum for this coordination.

10 III. BEST PRACTICES FOR ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS
Communities throughout the nation and California are engaged in efforts to address and alleviate homelessness. While some strategies have proven more effective than others in practice, the process of learning what works best continues. The “best practice” model for identifying effective approaches has proven effective through rigorous scientific research in other fields and can be adapted and applied to other contexts such as this. The Homelessness Task Force Report recently released by the League of California Cities and the California State Association of Counties features numerous case studies of current best practices applied by cities and counties throughout California.
The following paragraphs offer a brief overview of current best practices specifically applied to address homelessness.
Housing First
The Housing First strategy provides homeless persons safe and secure housing with few or any preconditions and includes needed supportive services with that housing. This approach reverses the traditional shelter model that requires people without homes to demonstrate they are “housing ready” by undergoing treatment for issues such as drug and alcohol addictions or mental health problems. The Housing First model first removes or reduces financial barriers for those with substance use issues, poor credit or financial history, or past involvement with the criminal justice system. This model is used successfully in communities across the nation and provides homeless individuals with a stable environment in which to improve their mental and physical health, as well as their future employability and capacity to live independently. “Housing First” is a proven strategy for ending all types of homelessness and has been demonstrated to be the most effective overall approach to ending chronic homelessness. Housing First offers people immediate access to permanent housing and provides any needed services after they are in a safe and stable living environment. The Housing First model yields higher success in treatment outcomes, higher housing retention rates, lower returns to homelessness, and significant reductions in the use of crisis services, hospitals, jails, and other institutions. (Source: National Alliance to End Homelessness)
Rapid Rehousing
The Rapid Rehousing approach is designed to help homeless individuals and families entering the emergency shelter and transitional housing system to quickly exit homelessness and return to permanent housing. It is a version of the Housing First strategy that is particularly effective for those who have only recently become homeless and remain open and willing to receive assistance. This assistance is typically in the form of temporary rental assistance and case management to stabilize and maintain their housing once it has been established.
Supportive Housing
Supportive Housing is a variation of the Housing First strategy designed for people experiencing chronic homelessness, or those leaving institutional and restrictive settings. It provides affordable housing in combination with an array of on-site services such as case management, substance abuse 112
11 or mental health counseling, advocacy, independent living skills, childcare, and employments services. It is “permanent” in that it is not time limited and is not transitional. Housing tenants are not expected to pay more than 30 percent of their income toward rent and utilities.
Coordinated Outreach Teams
Coordinated Outreach Teams identify and engage with people experiencing chronic homelessness and link them to housing and services. The outreach is person-centered and intended to build rapport and trust over time to help them accept the assistance they need. Outreach teams may include Sonoma Law enforcement officers as well as health and human service representatives and clinicians.
Landlord Outreach
Landlords are provided financial incentives to encourage them to rent units to homeless individuals or families. Incentives can include payments to hold the rental unit while a tenant is being referred, money for the security deposit, and financial assistance to the landlord to mitigate any potential damage caused by tenants.
Homeless Prevention
Prevention assistance can help individuals and families preserve their current housing situation and avoid becoming homeless in the first place. This may take the form of short-term rental assistance to prevent evictions or more long-term support through vocational and job training to increase selfreliance and earning potential.
Coordinated Entry System (CES)
CES is an assessment process designed to quickly identify, assess, refer and connect people in crisis to housing and assistance no matter where they initially ask for help. It is a shared tool that is used by homeless programs working collaboratively within a community to match people experiencing homelessness to the most appropriate housing and services. CES is meant to help people move through the system faster by reducing the amount of time they spend moving from one program to another before finding the right match. It can also reduce homelessness by offering prevention and diversion services upfront when that is the most appropriate solution, rather than entering the homelessness system.
113
12 IV. PLANNING PROCESS
Homelessness is an issue that affects everyone, and any strategies designed to prevent and alleviate homelessness should have community involvement. The City intends to reach out to the community for its help to help develop a Homelessness Strategic Plan, understanding that if it were to be an effective guide for the work to come, the Plan must be based on public knowledge of local conditions, challenges, and opportunities for addressing homelessness. With this goal in mind, the City designed a process centered on public participation and input to help address homelessness.
Community participation will encompass the following
1. Direct interviews of community groups with knowledge about homelessness,
2. an on-line survey, and
3. an advisory group composed of 20-30 community members, who have prior extensive experience with the homeless.
The process will begin with stakeholder interviews held with five – ten community leaders who will share their insights based on their experience with the homeless. Complementing these in-person interviews will be a questionnaire sent out to all members of the Community Advisory Group (CAG) that will explore many of the same topics covered in the interviews.
Information generated by the interviews and the questionnaire responses will be utilized to develop an online survey posted on the City of Cloverdale’s public website. Results from all outreach (including survey results received to date) were shared with the CAG during its first meeting in 2019.
A summary of the community outreach results was made available on the City’s website.
The CAG held a series of meetings starting in November 2019 through June 2022 to develop the overall structure, content and substance of the Strategic Plan. The Basic Framework for the Strategic Plan was developed in the first three meetings held in November 2019, January and February 2020.
Meeting One - Three
During the first three meetings the CAG utilized their own expertise to clarify homeless issues, challenges, and opportunities facing Cloverdale and define what “success” would look like—what the Plan should aspire to and what they believed the community would support. At the second meeting, the CAG was presented with a draft vision for success and an initial set of goals and proposed actions for achieving these goals, derived from input provided during the prior meeting. CAG members reviewed and refined the draft materials and refine the draft vision and goals of the Strategic Plan Framework and to craft the actions that would be carried out to implement them effectively. During the third and meeting, the CAG determined the need for additional goals, continue to refine action Plans, and considered potential performance measures that would be used to monitor the progress of the Plan once implementation begins.
Meeting Four-Eighteen
After an interruption in meetings due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the CAG was reconvened in April 2021. The CAG held a total of 18 meetings and discussed a range of policy and current issues that were in addition to the Strategic Plan. Following a prioritizing of goals, the Draft Strategic Plan was finalized. The Draft Strategic Plan was reviewed at the June 2022 Homelessness Community Advisory Group meeting and unanimously recommended to the Cloverdale City Council. 114
13 V. STRATEGIC PLAN FRAMEWORK
The core of the Homelessness Strategic Plan is expressed by the strategic plan framework, which is defined by the following elements:

16 VI. ACTION PLANS
This section will present the detailed Action Plans identified by the Community Advisory Group as the means for achieving the goals of the strategic Plan. There is one action Plan for each of the seven goals.
Community Preference Survey
Given the plan contains seven goals with thirty-six supporting actions, and the nature of our small community, implementation might be difficult. With this in mind, in order to focus on the immediate needs of the community, a survey conducted by the City of Cloverdale asking residents to rank their priorities for implementation. The Table below represents the Top Ten priorities for addressing the impacts of Homelessness
