Attachment D-2: Transformative Plan Summary
Grantee will implement each Transformative Plan in accordance with the Exhibit B: Budget and Schedule of Deliverables and the original intents described in each Plan summary included in this attachment. The inclusion of Transformative Plan summaries in this attachment should not be construed to create any additional obligations, conditions, warranties, policy rules, or duties for either party.

The summaries for each Transformative Plan are based on the narrative materials submitted by Grantees and Partners as part of the Round 5 TCC application process.

Community Engagement Plan (CEP)
I. Plan Overview
Alianza will coordinate and convene City of Coachella residents and TCC partners through a series of events, engagements, and workshops to further provide community input and guide strategy implementation, and to address these within budget and space parameters established by TCC.

This includes learning exchanges, surveys, community led Advisory Council and canvassing to inform residents about housing, active transportation, health & well-being, workforce development, training opportunities, rooftop solar installations, and urban greening opportunities.

Although all workshops will target community residents, they will be open to nonprofit partners and businesses in or near the TCC project area. Ultimately, this deep community engagement will make the city of Coachella a more climate resilient community. Alianza will:
a. Conduct outreach and workshops; such as the learning exchanges, to ensure all residents are aware of all TCC funded projects.
b. Establish a community led Advisory Council to increase resident decision-making in TCC strategies’ design and implementation.
c. Design collateral material and maintain residents’ awareness of all TCC strategies for the duration of the projects.

The goal for Alianza’s community engagement plan is to empower residents and reduce barriers to access resources and provide input to the City of Coachella TCC implementation strategies. Our outreach, engagement, and public announcements will be vetted and informed by the community through the Advisory Council.

II. CEP Summary
a. Engagement methods: Alianza will finalize the Community Engagement Plan, which will also include a communications plan. The engagement activities will vary per TCC strategy. Alianza’s guideline tool will evaluate the appropriate method and approach to engagement. The guideline incorporates the following: Age group, timeframe of meeting, type of information presented, presentation style, activities, and logistics.

Activities for community engagement are as follows (but not limited to) the following:

● Canvassing to encourage participation and feedback from community members.
● Communications, including billboards, educational materials, radio advertising, and social media.
● Participatory budgeting workshops and creation of a community led Advisory Council.
● Design charrettes and learning exchanges/workshops
● Surveys to be conducted via paper and online formats to provide an alternative option to attending a workshop or becoming a member of the committee. b. Decision-Making and Dispute Resolution:

1. Substantive Changes and Material Issues: Any significant changes or material issues arising from the implementation of the Coachella Prospera Plan must be presented to the Advisory Council at a regularly scheduled meeting. The proposal must include a comprehensive outline of the issue, its potential impact on ongoing projects, and any relevant feedback from stakeholders, community members, or working groups. The presentation of these changes ensures transparency, accountability, and collaborative decisionmaking.

2. Conflict Resolution: When disputes arise, the Advisory Council will prioritize resolving the division through a structured process before advancing any proposals. This process may involve:
● Further Community Outreach: Engaging with local residents, stakeholders, and experts to gather additional input and perspectives. This ensures that diverse voices are
considered, particularly when conflicts stem from concerns about equity, environmental impact, or local interests. ● Modification of the Proposal: Adjustments to the original proposal may be necessary based on feedback. The
Advisory Council may mandate changes to better align with the community’s priorities, sustainability goals, or the overall objectives of the Coachella Prospera Plan.
● Further Reporting: Revised or contested proposals must be re-submitted to the Advisory Council for additional review.

This step ensures that new developments are
comprehensively discussed and that any modifications are fully understood by all stakeholders before being put to a vote.

IV. Brief History of Proposal Development
a. Community engagement process: To ensure that Coachella Prospera’s vision statement and proposal was inclusive, culturally competent and reflective of the needs of the City of Coachella community, Alianza had extensive and intentional precommunity engagement, which informed the projects chosen and how community engagement & decision making would look like for the next five years.

1. Due to the community engagement taking place during the pandemic and post pandemic recovery, Alianza and the City of Coachella followed all protocols and found creative ways to engage with the community in the midst of social distancing, while meeting their essential needs to be able to participate. Alianza and the City of Coachella provided childcare, food and gift cards throughout their various engagement efforts.

2. The Community Engagement Plan was developed through four community workshops. Three of the four were in-person locations in accessible gathering areas and common areas familiar to people. Accessible strategies to attend the community workshops included free transportation options to and from the workshop site. The workshops were designed to fit the lifestyle of the community members of Coachella therefore, the meetings were held in the afternoon. One of the four was virtual, as an alternative to in-person meetings. Extensive outreach was conducted through in-person invitations by canvassing 900 homes (three key locations Bagdouma Park, Las Casas Apartments, and Coachella Library), printing and posting flyers in communal spaces, radio ads at local radio stations, and social media outreach. In addition, a survey was developed as a third method for Docusign Envelope ID: 0C184C8C-CD24-40CD-B111-D05189987D42 Docusign Envelope ID: C7D9C98C-FD62-4D6B-9B66-E95AE5FD2EC4

Coachella residents to provide input. The total number of community members reached through these pre-engagement efforts was 2,721, including 1,962 adults and 759 youth. As well as 5 businesses and 15 nonprofits. We provided all content in both English and Spanish, with food & refreshments, childcare, incentives, and translation services provided at the workshops. In these meetings and canvassing efforts, the community identified the need to include a community led Advisory Council and frequent community learning exchanges in this proposal to ensure that they are not only updated on the projects’ progress but also included in the decision-making process of these implementation plans. Their decisions were integral, serving a guiding force in selecting and shaping projects.

3. Based on feedback provided and barriers uplifted by the community, Coachella Prospera ensured that their requests were included in our project(s) proposal. This includes wellness hubs (to address their socio-emotional needs), tree planting and green spaces (to provide more open and shaded outdoor spaces to be in community together after experiencing covid-19 pandemic isolation), affordable housing (apartments for retired farmworkers/seniors and the developmentally disabled), free rooftop solar panels (to support community members who have experienced financial challenges and were behind on utility bills due to job loss and high summer temperatures) and more. Meetings and surveys were used to collect input for active transportation, transit hubs, car-sharing, and e-bike projects.

Residents identified mobility challenges, reviewed designs, and suggested features like shaded rest areas and expanded bike lanes.

Workforce Development and Economic Opportunities Plan (WDEOP) I. Plan Overview (200 words)
The proposed project aims to provide high-quality career pathways for those with barriers to employment in high-paying and climate-resilient industries that are proven in demand to ensure that participants and students learn skills that lead to self-sufficiency and economic independence. Participants will work directly with Center for Employment Training (CET), GRID Alternatives, and/or Urban Conservation Corps staff to ensure they receive supportive services, such as financial assistance, individualized education plans, and alternative resources through our active referral network with community services and partnering agencies such as the Department of Rehabilitation.

CET will work directly with local employers to form Technical Advisory Committees (TAC) for each course to provide labor market analysis, curriculum and lab recommendations, and support with job readiness components. CET, GRID and UCC will provide curriculum and hands-on training in green building, solar, and energy efficiency in the TCC Project Area providing pathways for participants to enter and advance in careers that align with California's climate initiatives.

Residents in the Project Area are faced with a disproportionate number of challenges and barriers to workforce participation, economic security and mobility, including the lack of high school diplomas, higher education, and formal trade training. In a 2021 study conducted by the Urban Conservation Corps of the Inland Empire as part of program planning, young adults from the Coachella Valley reported a lack of opportunities for industry specific vocation training for high paying jobs. Other inequities included lack of transportation, language barriers and financial challenges. Unemployment rates are at 5%, 0.5% higher than the state average and 1% higher than last year. EDD Occupational employment projects identify target industries as being in demand with positive growth projections up to 90% in the 10-year forecast with average industry vacancies over 10,000. Similarly, the Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce reported that employers in agriculture, tourism, hospitality and small business have challenges adapting and shifting business models and practices to meet the demands of a net zero economy. The plan is a multi-faceted approach that provides local community access to industry-specific vocational training and education that will prepare the workforce to meet the demands of a net zero economy.
b. Programs and services selected to address Project Area needs i. How the plan will fill the workforce needs and gaps
ii. Alignment with the TCC Workforce Program criteria (prepare Project Area residents for long-term high-quality career pathways)

Displacement Avoidance Plan (DAP)
I. Plan Overview (200 words)
The Coachella Prospera Displacement Avoidance Plan (DAP) aims to prevent the displacement of low-income households and small businesses in the City of Coachella through a combination of new and existing policies and new programs. The DAP addresses the specific vulnerabilities of residents and businesses by establishing a framework that ensures long-term housing affordability, tenant protections, and small business support.

The plan is supported by the City of Coachella and its partners, including the Kounkuey Design Initiative (KDI), KE Impacts and Fair Housing Council of Riverside County (FHCRC).

Key components include tenant rights education, community engagement, and a grant program for small businesses. Through community engagement efforts like the Resident Ambassador Program and Small Business Alliance, our plan seeks to foster leadership and ensure ongoing monitoring accountability. Monitoring mechanisms, such as tracking displacement trends, will be used to adjust and develop new policies as needed throughout the grant period.

II. Resident DAP Summary (500 words)
a. Displacement vulnerability
Coachella residents are highly vulnerable to displacement, with 60% of residents living in poverty and 70% of renters cost-burdened. The city also has a significant population of undocumented residents who are hesitant to seek government assistance. Displacement risks are compounded by rising rents, the increase in short-term rentals due to the Coachella Music Festival, and a general shortage of housing. b.

III. Small Business DAP Summary (500 words)
a. Displacement vulnerability
Small businesses in Coachella, particularly those owned by people of color and immigrants, face significant displacement risks due to rising rents, crime, and sanitation issues along commercial corridors. Many of these businesses are still recovering from the disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and lack access to resources for planning and compliance.
b. Programs and policies to address vulnerability
The plan includes the creation of a Small Business Alliance, which will help business owners collectively advocate for their needs and stay informed about city resources This includes sharing information about a City-funded grant program to help businesses with code compliance and retail space improvements and a City-led program that offers reduced rent in City-owned commercial spaces to small businesses as part of its effort to stabilize local enterprises.
i. Brief description of existing policies
Coachella already offers discounted rents to local nonprofits in City-owned facilities. The City also ran a CARES Act grant program for small businesses and essential workers, though this program has since expired.
ii. Process of selecting new policies
The selection process was based on feedback from small business owners during engagement sessions. Key issues identified included the need for financial support, affordable rent, and better communication with city officials. These priorities shaped the development of new policies focused on stabilization and support. iii. Description of new policies that will fill the gap The Small Business Alliance will address the gap in communication between business owners and city officials, giving owners a formal platform for advocacy.

Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Plan (CARP)
I. Plan Overview (200 words)
The City of Coachella faces numerous environmental challenges linked to its unique geography and changing climate. With rising temperatures, poor air quality, and increasing risks of extreme weather, the region’s residents, economy, and infrastructure are vulnerable to a wide range of hazards. To address these threats, the City of Coachella will be developing and implementing its Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Plan (CARP).

The CARP seeks to proactively address the risks posed by climate change and ensure the longterm health, safety, and well-being of Coachella’s residents. The plan will include a comprehensive assessment of city-owned assets, infrastructure, and vulnerable populations, while also proposing strategies to reduce energy demand, provide respite from the heat, increase active transportation, reduce GHG emissions, and improve air quality. By addressing the multifaceted impacts of climate change head-on, Coachella aims to build a more sustainable, livable future for all its residents.

ii. Impacts of risks and exposures on vulnerable populations and the built environment
The City of Coachella is susceptible to extreme heat, poor air quality, flooding from heavier precipitation, severe drought, high winds, blowing sand, and air inversions, each of which plays a major role in determining regional air quality. Coachella’s Healthy Places Index score is 3.0, ranking it amongst the less healthy communities in the State of California. The Regional Opportunity Index shows the Project Area as having one of the lowest opportunities based on assets, education, economy, housing, mobility/transportation, health/environment, and civic life. Additionally, the Coachella Valley region is in a state of “non-attainment” with respect to state and federal ambient air quality standards for ozone and PM10, due to a combination of locally-generated pollution, unique topographic and climatic characteristics, and the transport of pollutants from metropolitan areas to the west—including the effects of the Salton Sea’s receding shorelines and shallower-waters that produce rotten-egg odor events during the hot summers when the monsoonal rains flow into the region. In addition, due to climate change, the number of days above 85 degrees between November and April is projected to increase up to 150% by the end of the century. Therefore, implementing a Climate Resilience Action Plan and Vulnerability Assessment will help improve the air quality and the quality of life of the residents of Coachella and beyond.

The following is a breakdown of Coachella’s main impacts and their risks and exposures:
• Extreme Heat - could impact electricity generation capacity, cause heat stress on outdoor workers and machinery, create excessive heat at facilities in need of upgrades, and increase peak energy and water demand. • Air Quality - Exposure to allergens causes health problems for many people.

When sensitive individuals are simultaneously exposed to allergens and air pollutants, allergic reactions often become more severe. The increase in air pollutants makes the effects of increased allergens associated with climate change even worse.
• Flooding from Heavier Precipitation - could create safety risks for emergency personnel and staff, impede access to utility facilities, damage facilities and infrastructure, disrupt the transportation system, challenge egress and ingress routes during major flooding events, overwhelm stormwater drainage systems, and disrupt utility service where there is a lack of redundant energy supplies. b. Adaptation Measures in TCC Project
i. Measures to address risks of vulnerable populations
The Coachella Prospera proposal comprehensively addresses reducing risk and improving resiliency for climate-vulnerable populations through a series of strategic measures. Urban greening initiatives, including tree planting and a tree inventory, mitigate extreme heat impacts, promote air quality, and encourage active transportation in a high-heat community. Rooftop solar installations and renewable energy systems enhance resilience Docusign Envelope ID: 0C184C8C-CD24-40CD-B111-D05189987D42 Docusign Envelope ID: C7D9C98C-FD62-4D6B-9B66-E95AE5FD2EC4

to power disruptions while lowering energy costs. Zero-emission transportation options are prioritized to connect residents to workplaces and reduce pollution-related health risks.

The proposal also includes job training programs in green industries to empower economically vulnerable populations, affordable housing designed for seniors, and bicycle lanes and pedestrian paths that close gaps in the active transportation network. A bus transit hub is planned to support a shift to cleaner transportation modes, enhancing access and reducing emissions.

Additional measures include the establishment of a wellness hub to provide critical health and social services, and the enhancement of five neighborhood parks with features encouraging exercise and active lifestyles in a community lacking sufficient recreational spaces. Finally, the initiative is guided by four transformative plans that align with climate adaptation frameworks to ensure the overall resilience of the Coachella Prospera Project Area, emphasizing inclusive planning, infrastructure readiness, and sustainable development.

The enhancement of five parks in the Coachella Prospera Project Area with recreational elements that encourage exercise and active lifestyles is closely tied to broader renovations and climate-adapted design through the integration of urban greening and green infrastructure strategies. By incorporating features such as the planting of 300 lowwater trees (at designated parks and through a community tree giveaway) and 140 lowwater vegetation, the project not also mitigates urban heat islands, improves air quality, and supports water efficiency. These enhancements align with broader climate resilience goals, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, managing stormwater through permeable surfaces, and increasing tree canopy to provide shade and reduce heat exposure.

Furthermore, the project adopts a community-centered approach by engaging residents in tree planting and care, promoting environmental education, and involving local workforce development programs in the implementation process. These elements ensure long-term sustainability while addressing climate adaptation by creating parks that are not only recreational but also serve as vital components of urban resilience. Through careful planning, water-efficient irrigation systems, and strategic shading, the enhanced parks contribute to a healthier and more sustainable environment, making them a cornerstone of Coachella’s climate-adapted urban infrastructure.
ii. Measures to increase resiliency of proposed infrastructure projects The City of Coachella is proposing to implement a comprehensive Climate Resilience Action Plan, which includes commissioning a Tree Inventory and Vulnerability Assessment.

These efforts aim to prepare for potential extreme weather impacts on City-owned assets, operations, and the broader community while developing strategies to mitigate those impacts.

Key measures include the integration of low-water-use plantings and climate-appropriate tree palettes to enhance urban greening efforts and mitigate the heat island effect.

Permeable surfaces will be incorporated into infrastructure to improve stormwater Docusign Envelope ID: 0C184C8C-CD24-40CD-B111-D05189987D42 Docusign Envelope ID: C7D9C98C-FD62-4D6B-9B66-E95AE5FD2EC4

management, reduce flooding risks, and support groundwater recharge. Strategic shading will be employed for parks, housing developments, and active transportation corridors to reduce heat exposure, increase comfort, and encourage outdoor activity.

Additional resilience measures include retrofitting critical infrastructure to withstand high winds, extreme heat, and flooding. Cooling systems and redundant energy supplies will be integrated into facilities to ensure continued operation during extreme weather events. The City’s infrastructure projects will also utilize localized climate data and projections to adapt designs to future conditions, ensuring the long-term functionality and sustainability of investments. These efforts will collectively enhance the resilience of proposed infrastructure and support the well-being of Coachella’s residents.

Item 17.

CAL FIRE Urban & Community Forestry 22/23 Grant Guidelines Nursery Tree Quality
I. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
Proper Identification: All trees shall be true to name as ordered or shown on planting plans and shall be labeled individually or in groups by species and cultivar (as appropriate).

Compliance: All trees shall comply with federal and state laws and regulations requiring inspection for plant disease, pests, and weeds. Inspection certificates required by law shall accompany each shipment of plants. Clearance from the local county agricultural commissioner, if required, shall be obtained before planting trees originating outside the county in which they are to be planted. Even though trees may conform to county, state, and federal laws, the buyer may impose additional requirements.

Inspection: The buyer reserves the right to reject trees that do not meet specifications as set forth in these guidelines or as adopted by the buyer. If a defect or substandard element can be corrected easily, appropriate remedies shall be applied. If destructive inspection of a root ball is to be done, the buyer and seller shall have a prior agreement as to the time and place of inspection, number of trees to be inspected, and financial responsibility for the inspected trees.

Delivery: The buyer shall stipulate how many days prior to delivery that delivery notification is needed.

Buyer shall stipulate any special considerations to the nursery prior to shipment.

II. HEALTH AND STRUCTURE SPECIFICATIONS
These specifications apply to deciduous, broadleaf evergreen, and coniferous species. They do not apply to palms. Note that leaf characteristics will not be evident on deciduous trees during the dormant season.

Crown: The form and density of the crown shall be typical for a young specimen of the species or cultivar. The leader shall be intact to the very top of the tree.

Leaves: The size, color, and appearance of leaves shall be typical for the time of year and stage of growth of the species or cultivar. Trees shall not show signs of moisture stress as indicated by wilted, shriveled, or dead leaves.

Branches: Shoot growth (length and diameter) throughout the crown shall be appropriate for the age and size of the species or cultivar. Trees shall not have dead, diseased, broken, distorted, or otherwise injured branches.

Trunk: The tree trunk shall be relatively straight, vertical, and free of wounds (except properly made pruning cuts), sunburned areas, conks (fungal fruiting bodies), wood cracks, bleeding areas, signs of boring insects, cankers, girdling ties, or lesions (mechanical injury). The terminal bud on the leader shall be intact to the very top of the tree, and it shall be the highest point on the tree. A 15-gallon tree has a minimum caliper of 0.75 inches.

Roots: The root system shall be substantially free of injury from biotic (e.g., insects and pathogens) and abiotic (e.g., herbicide toxicity and salt injury) agents. Root distribution shall be uniform throughout the container substrate and shall be appropriate for the species or cultivar. At time of inspection and delivery, the root ball shall be moist throughout. Roots shall not show signs of excess soil moisture conditions as indicated by stunted, discolored, distorted, or dead roots.

Item 17.

CAL FIRE Urban & Community Forestry 22/23 Grant Guidelines Shade trees that grow to be large shall have one
relatively straight central leader (Figure 1). Heading
the tree is acceptable provided the central leader is
reestablished in the nursery.

Main branches (Figure 2) shall be well distributed
along the central leader, not clustered together. They
shall form a balanced crown appropriate for the cultivar or species.

The diameter of branches (Figure 3) that grow from the central leader, or trunk, shall be no larger than two-thirds (one-half is preferred) the diameter of the trunk measured just above the branch.

The largest branches shall be free of bark inclusions that extend into the branch union (Figure 4).

Small-diameter branches (Figure 5), particularly on trees less than 1-inch caliper, should be present along the lower trunk below the lowest main branch. These branches shall be no larger than 3/8 inch in diameter.

The trunk shall be free of wounds, sunburned areas, conks (fungal fruiting bodies), wood cracks, bleeding areas, signs of boring insects, cankers, or lesions. Properly made recent or closed pruning cuts are acceptable.

The trunk caliper (diameter) and taper (Figure 6) shall be sufficient so that the tree remains vertical without a stake.

The root collar (the uppermost roots) (Figure 7) shall be within the upper 2 inches of the soil media (substrate). The root collar and the inside portion of the root ball shall be free of defects, including circling, kinked, and stem-girdling roots. Roots at the surface should grow mostly straight to the side of the container. You may need to remove soil near the root collar to inspect for root defects.

The tree shall be well rooted in the soil media. Roots shall be uniformly distributed throughout the container, meaning that roots should not be concentrated at the bottom of the root ball. Some roots should contact the container wall in the top half of the root ball (Figure 7). When the container is removed, the root ball shall remain intact. When the trunk is lifted, both the trunk and root system shall move as one. The imprint of the liner or smaller container shall not be visible (Figure 7).

The root ball shall be moist throughout at the time of inspection and delivery. The roots shall show no signs of excess soil moisture as indicated by poor root growth, root discoloration, distortion, death, or foul odor. The crown shall show no signs of moisture stress as indicated by wilted, shriveled, or dead leaves or branch dieback.

Tree Planting
Selecting quality trees: Planting quality trees begins by selecting the right tree for the right location and choosing vigorous, structurally sound trees from the nursery.

Digging the hole: A firm, flat-bottomed hole will prevent trees from sinking. Dig the hole only deep enough to position the root collar even with the landscape soil surface (Figure 8). Use a rototiller or shovel to loosen soil in an area three times the size of the root ball.

This loose soil promotes rapid root growth and quick
establishment.

Installing the tree: Remove soil and roots from the top of the root ball to expose the root collar; cut away any roots that grow over the collar (Figure 9). Cut any roots that circle or mat along the sides and bottom of the root ball (Figure 10). The root collar shall be even with the landscape soil after planting (see Figure 9). Backfill with soil removed from the hole. Minimize air pockets by packing gently and applying water. Build a berm 4 inches tall around the root ball to help force water through the root ball. Enlarge the berm as the tree establishes.

Mulching: A layer of organic mulch, such as leaf litter, shredded bark, or wood chips, helps protect tree roots from temperature extremes and conserves soil moisture. Mulch also helps prevent grass from competing with the tree for water and nutrients. The mulched area makes it easier to operate mowers and weed eaters without hitting the trunk and compacting soil. Apply mulch to a depth of 3 to 4 inches (slightly thinner on top of the root ball) (Figure 11). Mulch should be kept 4 inches away from the trunk to prevent disease.

Staking: The method of staking is dependent on a tree’s ability to stand on its own and the location of the planting site. Staking is used to hold trees erect, allow the root ball to anchor, and protect the trunk from damage by equipment. Stakes should be removed when the tree can stand on its own and the root ball is anchored. Stakes should be positioned away from the tree and secured to the trunk at the point where the tree stands straight. Do not use wire or any strap that will girdle the tree or damage the bark. If a tree cannot stand straight on its own after staking, a splint stake tied directly to the trunk made of bamboo, spring steel, or a fiberglass rod may be used to straighten the upper trunk and/or leader. Avoid using square wood secondary stakes. Acceptable staking examples may be seen below (Figures 12, 13, and 14).

Figure 8. Loosening soil in a large area around
the root ball allows for rapid root growth and
quick establishment.

roots that grow away from the trunk. Do
not cut roots at (B), since the root defects

Item 17.

CAL FIRE Urban & Community Forestry 22/23 Grant Guidelines Tree Training at Planting and in the Early Years
Trees that grow to be large are more structurally sound and cost-effective to maintain when trained with a central dominant leader that extends 30 feet or more into the
crown (Figure 15). Vigorous, upright branches and stems that compete with the central leader can become weakly
attached (Figure 15).

Trees with branches spaced along the central leader, or trunk (Figure 15) are stronger than trees with branches clustered together (Figure 15). Prune trees at planting to one central leader by removing or shortening (shown)
competing stems (Figure 16). All branches and stems shall be considerably shorter than the central leader after
pruning is completed (Figure 16).

Reduction cuts can be used on trees at planting to
subordinate branches that are codominant (Figure 20).

Some upright stems and branches can be removed entirely back to the trunk. Heading cuts may have to be used
occasionally.

Remove or shorten branches that are larger than half the trunk diameter at planting and every few years thereafter.

Shorten them by cutting back to a live lateral branch (Figure 17). This lateral branch shall be pointed away from the trunk and it should not be growing upright. The central leader shall be more visible in the crown center after pruning. Only largediameter branches need to be pruned because they compete with the leader and could be weakly attached (Figure 17, L).

Small branches (Figure 17, S) do not need pruning because they will not compete with the leader.

The best way to shorten large or long stems and branches is to cut them back to a live lateral branch (Figure 19). This slows growth on the pruned parts and encourages growth
in the dominant leader creating sound structure.

Remove larger branches by making three cuts. This
prevents the bark from peeling or splitting off the trunk below the cut. Make the final cut back to the branch collar (enlarged area around union of branch where it joins the trunk).

4.Space main branches along the central leader.

5.Reduce vigorous upright stems back to lateral branches or remove entirely (Figure 20, next page).

Irrigation
Consistent irrigation is critical for tree establishment. • Apply about 3 gallons of water per inch of trunk diameter to the root ball 2 or 3 times per week for the first growing season.
• Increase volume and decrease frequency as the tree becomes established. Weekly irrigation during the second year and bimonthly irrigation during the third year should be sufficient for establishment.
• Once established, irrigation requirements depend on species, planting site, climate, and soil conditions.
• Irrigation devices should be regularly checked for breaks and leaks. • Consider use of recycled water when available and where the species will tolerate it and the recycled water quality is adequate.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Tree species selected must be classified as very low, low, or moderate water use species in the WUCOLS IV or must be justified for the planting site(s) selected.

MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES PRACTICES
Minimum Data for Urban Tree Inventories
If a Green Schoolyards grant project conducts campus tree inventories, the below attributes should be included:
• Mapping coordinate. X and Y coordinate locations (latitude and longitude). Each tree and planting site will be located using GIS and/or GPS equipment. • Location. The tree’s physical location in relation to public Right of Way and/or public space will be recorded. (Optional and recommended: consider collecting distance and azimuth from buildings.)
• Species. Trees will be identified by genus and species. • Diameter. Tree trunk diameter will be recorded. This should be to the nearest 1-inch. • Stems. The number of stems a tree has will be recorded. • Condition. In general, the condition of each tree will be recorded in one of the following categories adapted from the rating system established by the International Society of Arboriculture:

Excellent 100%
Very Good 90%
Good 80%
Fair 60%
Poor 40%
Critical 20%
Dead 0%
• Maintenance need. The following maintenance categories (or similar approved by CAL FIRE prior to collection) will be collected:

1. Priority 1 Removal. Trees designated for removal have defects that cannot be costeffectively or practically treated. Most of the trees in this category will have a large percentage of dead crown and pose an elevated level of risk for failure. Any hazards that could be potential dangers to persons or property and seen as potential liabilities would be in this category. Large dead and dying trees that are high liability risks are included in this category. These trees are the first ones that should be removed.

2. Priority 2 Removal. Trees that should be removed but do not pose a liability as great as the first priority will be identified here. This category would need attention as soon as “Priority One” trees are removed.

3. Priority 3 Removal. Trees that should be removed, but that pose minimal liability to persons or property, will be identified in this category.

4. Priority 1 Prune. Trees that require priority one pruning are recommended for trimming to remove hazardous deadwood, hangers, or broken branches. These trees have Docusign Envelope ID: 0C184C8C-CD24-40CD-B111-D05189987D42 Docusign Envelope ID: C7D9C98C-FD62-4D6B-9B66-E95AE5FD2EC4

Item 17.

CAL FIRE Urban & Community Forestry 22/23 Grant Guidelines broken or hanging limbs, hazardous deadwood, and dead, dying, or diseased limbs or leaders greater than four inches in diameter.

5. Priority 2 Prune. These trees have dead, dying, diseased, or weakened branches between two and four inches in diameter and are potential safety hazards.

6. Large Tree Routine Prune. These trees require routine horticultural pruning to correct structural problems or growth patterns, which would eventually obstruct traffic or interfere with utility wires or buildings. Trees in this category are large enough to require bucket truck access or manual climbing.

7. Small Tree Routine Prune. These trees require routine horticultural pruning to correct structural problems or growth patterns, which would eventually obstruct traffic or interfere with utility wires or buildings. These trees are small growing, mature trees that can be evaluated and pruned from the ground.

8. Training Prune. Young, large-growing trees that are still small must be pruned to correct or eliminate weak, interfering, or objectionable branches to minimize future maintenance requirements. These trees, up to 20 feet in height, can be worked with a pole-pruner by a person standing on the ground.

9. Stump Removal. This category indicates a stump that should be removed.

10.Plant Tree. During the inventory, vacant planting sites will be identified by street and address. The size of the site is designated as small, medium, or large (indicating the ultimate size that the tree will attain), depending on the growing space available and the presence of overhead wires.
• Clearance Required. Trees, which are causing or may cause visibility or clearance difficulties for pedestrians or vehicles, will be identified, as well as those trees blocking clear visibility of signs or traffic signals.
• Hardscape Damage. Damage to sidewalks and curbs by tree roots are noted. Notes on potential fixes for the problem are encouraged (redesign options etc.…) • Overhead Utilities. The inventory indicates whether overhead conductors or other utilities are present at the tree site that could result in conflicts with the tree. • Grow space. The area within the growing space is categorized as:

T Tree Lawn
W Well/Pit
M Median
P Raised Planter
O Open/Unrestricted
I Island
U Unmaintained Area
• Space Size. The narrowest dimension of the Grow Space, in feet. (I.e., 3’x3’ cut-out, 4’ parkway strip, open parkland, etc.).

Urban Forest Management Plan Best Practices
If a Green Schoolyards grant project includes the development of a management plan, the below should be included:
• Management plans must be informed by the constituents of the school/school district that have been/will be authentically engaged in the plan’s creation. • Management plans must be developed based on reliable, collected data, such as a tree inventory, urban forest mapping and analysis, urban forest economic analysis, etc. • Management plans must be a long term (40-50 year), comprehensive document, not solely a maintenance plan.
• Management plans must address the entire school/school district in some form (regulations, incentives, best practices, etc.).
• There shall be a provision for periodic review of any urban forest management plan. • A management plan must be referenced in an ordinance, a general plan element, or be officially adopted by the governing body in another binding, enforceable way as approved by CAL FIRE staff.
• Any management plan must set a tree canopy cover goal for the jurisdiction. The goal must, at minimum, maintain the current tree canopy cover level (No Net Loss policy). • Management plans must address the following: tree maintenance (including best management practices), wildfire (if applicable), urban wood utilization, and roles of the jurisdiction’s agencies. This may be done by referencing other policy documents.

CAL FIRE Recommends: Grantees should strongly consider using the following resources. • SelecTree: Identify suitable species with desirable attributes. • Vibrant Cities Lab: “The US Forest Service, American Forests and the National Association of Regional Councils created Vibrant Cities Lab to help city managers, policymakers and advocates build thriving urban forest programs”.
• UFMP Toolkit. Provides a “how-to” approach to develop an Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP). The toolkit will lead you through a planning process and provide helpful references and additional tools.
• The American Public Works Association guide for Urban Forest Management Plans. • iTree. A series of urban forest analysis tools are available for free on the iTree website. • Arbor Day Foundation's Tree City USA. All cities engaging in Management Activities Grants should consider applying for Tree City USA status. It is a free municipal recognition program that has been in existence since 1976. A CAL FIRE Regional Urban Forester can assist you with this.

Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Grantee Publicity Guidelines 2 social media posts, short case studies, flyers, etc., use the following language:
“[Project Name] is supported by the California
Strategic Growth Council’s Transformative Climate
Communities Program in partnership with the
California Department of Conservation.”
Visuals
Grantees may at times produce promotional materials
that are primarily visual in nature, such as banners,
signage, posters, certain flyers, and sharable images for social media. In such cases, we encourage grantees to
include the official SGC and DOC logos. You can find
the official logos in your Communications Resource
Folder on SharePoint.

When using our logos, focus on creating the most
color contrast between the logo and background to
contribute to inclusive communications. For example,
use the color version only when the logo appears on
a light background; on backgrounds of a darker color,
use the white version of the logo.

Signage
Grantees are encouraged to post signs on project
construction sites stating that the Strategic
Growth Council is providing financing through the
Transformative Climate Communities Program in an
appropriate location(s), typeface and size (consult your grant manager for best practices). Below is a sample of suggested language:
[PROJECT NAME]
“This Project has been made possible by financing
from the Transformative Climate Communities
Program through the California Strategic
Growth Council.”
Press Releases/Conferences
Grantees are encouraged to distribute press releases
for major milestones throughout the lifecycle of the
grant. If you would like a quote from leadership for a
press release, please submit the press release to your
Grant Manager at least two weeks before the release
will be published.

Please alert us to any press conferences related to
the grant by emailing your Grant Manager ideally as
soon as possible, or at least two to four weeks before
the press conference. This allows our staff to try and
attend, if approved by management.

Photos
We ask that grantees share between 8-12 high-resolution, color photos with their Grant Manager during the lifecycle of their grant. These photos can include pictures of people involved with the project, the project area,
and/or activities conducted during the grant term.

Sending photos allows us to share photos of your
project’s progress across our communications platforms.

We will attribute the photos to your organization and
community. Please submit photos through your
SharePoint submission folder.

Social Media
We encourage grantees to use social media to share the
process of creating and developing their proposal, as well as stages of the project’s implementation. We love seeing grantees’ progress from vision to reality. Please tag
@CalSGC and @CalConservation in all Tweets related to

On Wednesday, Related California, Mercy
Housing and community leaders celebrated
the “topping out” of the two newest affordable
communities in the multi-phase Sunnydale
HOPE SF revitalization. The Sunnydale HOPE SF
revitalization effort is led by Related California
and Mercy Housing California, in collaboration
with the San Francisco Mayor’s Office of
Housing and Community Development
(MOHCD) and Housing Authority of the City and
County of San Francisco (SFHA), to transform
the 50-acre Sunnydale-Velasco public housing
community into a vibrant mixed-income
neighborhood with 1,700 new affordable
and market rate homes.

Thank you to our funding partners for helping us
reach this milestone: the California Department
of Housing & Community Development (HCD),
California Strategic Growth Council, California
Climate Investments and California Tax Credit
Allocation Committee (TCAC).

Sunnydale HOPE SF is partially funded by
the Affordable Housing and Sustainable
Communities program (AHSC). AHSC is
administered by the Strategic Growth Council
and implemented by the California Department
of Housing and Community Development.

AHSC part of California Climate Investments,
a statewide initiative that puts billions of
Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing
greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening
the economy, and improving public health
and the environment — particularly in
disadvantaged communities.
