Colma Creek Trash Capture Project- Design Contract award September 25, 2024 Page 1 of 4

STAFF REPORT
TO
: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Brad Donohue, Director of Public Works and Planning Jim Porter, Project Manager
VIA: Dan Barros, City Manager
MEETING DATE: September 25, 2024
SUBJECT: Colma Creek Trash Capture Project Design

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following:

RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH BLACK & VEATCH CORPORATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $890,698 TO

PROVIDE CONSULTING SERVICES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW, CONCEPTUAL

DESIGN, DETAILED DESIGN, PERMITTING, AND CONSTRUCTION DESIGN SUPPORT

FOR THE COLMA CREEK TRASH CAPTURE PROJECT, PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINE 15306

COUNCIL ADOPTED VALUES
The recommendation is consistent with the Council value of responsibility because it allows for staff to hire a design consultant to seek ways to reduce trash impacts in Colma Creek and the San Francisco Bay.

BACKGROUND
The Municipal Regional Permit requires that jurisdictions provide 100% trash capture for watersheds that drain into San Francisco Bay by June 2025.

Caltrans is required to comply with California Regional Water Quality Control Board San Francisco Bay Region’s cease and desist order to implement trash reduction from Caltrans significant trash generation areas. Segments of Highway 280 and El Camino Real were delineated by Caltrans for trash load reduction actions. A multi-jurisdictional project benefitting Caltrans, portions of unincorporated San Mateo County, South San Francisco, City of Daly City, and the Town of Colma was conceived after review and discussion with staff from these participating agencies, Water Board staff, and the Countywide Stormwater Program.

ITEM #3
Colma Creek Trash Capture Project- Design Contract award September 25, 2024 Page 2 of 4
After multiple reviews and discussions, it was determined that the trash capture system can be installed on property belonging to One Shoreline. The property belonging to One Shoreline is positioned outside the current concrete channel, and outside the BART right-of-way within the City of South San Francisco near the border with the Town of Colma. This location provides the maximum benefit to the participating agencies.

Caltrans will contribute $7,040,600 (seven million forty-thousand and six hundred dollars) in funding to the Town for environmental review, design development, permitting and construction-installation of Full Trash Capture devices (FTC). This funding and implementation of FTC devices will allow Caltrans to seek trash reduction credit for runoff from Caltrans roadways and tributary areas and comply with Regional Water Quality Control Board’s requirements.

The Town of Colma is the sponsoring and implementing agency for the project. The Town will enter into cooperative agreements with participating agencies and One Shoreline for long term maintenance of the trash capture devices after the FTC is installed.

ANALYSIS
The Town issued a request for proposals (RFP) for the Colma Creek Trash Capture Project on June 12
th, 2024. Two (2) proposals were received on July 12th, 2024. These proposals were reviewed by staff from all participating agencies. Interviews were held with both proposers.

Black & Veatch Corporation was ranked as the selected consultant and staff negotiated the scope of work and cost proposal with Black & Veatch Corporation (Consultant).

The Project entails developing and analyzing alternatives and identifying the preferred alternative for an off-channel trash capture solution to comply with the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Board’s Municipal Regional Permit 3.0.

The Consultant will be undertaking the following tasks, summarized below:

Colma Creek Trash Capture Project- Design Contract award September 25, 2024 Page 3 of 4
Town of Colma staff will take the lead in coordinating with participating agencies, water board, and Caltrans for potential approval of the project design. The total project cost, including construction and support services, is estimated to be within the funded amount. The project will be advertised for construction bids after approval of the final design. At the time of final design, CEQA analysis will be completed, or an exemption will be identified. This CEQA analysis or exemption will be considered prior to any consideration of project approval.

Detailed Description of the Project
The proposed contract with Black & Veatch Corporation is to provide consulting services for environmental review, preparation of conceptual design, detailed design, permitting, and construction design support for an off-channel full trash capture device along the Colma Creek channel.

The Project is funded by Caltrans through a Cooperative Agreement with the Town of Colma.

The Town of Colma is the sponsoring and implementing agency for the project.

San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board’s Municipal Permit 3.0 (MRP 3.0) requires that jurisdictions provide 100% trash capture for watersheds that drain into San Francisco Bay by June 2025. This project is intended to aid the Town of Colma, Caltrans, the City of Daly City, South San Francisco and unincorporated San Mateo County to meet their MRP 3.0 requirements.

The trash capture system would be proposed on easements belonging to One Shoreline on private property, fully offline, positioned outside the current concrete channel, and outside the BART right-of-way within the City of South San Francisco near the border with the Town of Colma.

The Project entails developing and analyzing alternatives and identifying the preferred alternative for an off-channel trash capture solution to comply with 100% trash load reduction required by San Francisco Regional Water Quality Board’s Municipal Regional Permit 3.0.

Sustainability Impact
Commissioning the design of a full trash capture devices will have a positive impact on water quality by reducing and eliminating trash related impacts in the Colma Creek channel and San Francisco Bay.

FISCAL IMPACT
This project is funded by Caltrans through a Cooperative Agreement with the Town of Colma.

The Town entered into a stormwater mitigation cooperative agreement with Caltrans to design permanent full trash capture (FTC) devices to achieve National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit and MRP 3.0 compliance for trash capture.

Caltrans will contribute $7,040,600 (seven million forty-thousand and six hundred dollars) in funding to the Town for environmental review, design development, permitting and potential Colma Creek Trash Capture Project- Design Contract award September 25, 2024 Page 4 of 4
construction-installation of FTC devices. This funding and implementation of FTC devices will allow Caltrans to seek trash reduction credit for runoff from Caltrans roadways and tributary areas and comply with Regional Water Quality Control Board’s requirements.

The agreement with Black & Veatch Corporation is to provide consulting services for environmental review, preparation of conceptual design, detailed design, permitting, and construction design support for the project. The negotiated proposal cost to provide the above services is agreed to by Black & Veatch Corporation for $890,698, eight hundred ninety thousand, six hundred and ninety-eight and 00/100 dollars, (Attachment C).

Caltrans will reimburse the Town on receipt of assigned invoice for project costs incurred and paid to Black & Veatch Corporation.

ENVIRONMENTAL
The City Council’s action in adopting the resolution is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15306 as information collection. The resolution will authorize information gathering, environmental review and design for a full trash capture device. Once all the data and information is studied and obtained, and a design is developed, CEQA analysis will be conducted. Any potential installation of the project will only be considered after the CEQA analysis is considered.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council can chose not to move ahead with award of the design project and request that staff reissue a Request for Proposal (RFP). This is not recommended becausegoing back to RFP is lengthy and costly, and most likely will not yield different results. Further, the Town is under a time crunch to meet the Town’s MRP 100% trash reduction goals by the end of 2025.

Postponing the design, environmental review, and permitting would jeopardize the Town’s ability to meet the MRP’s 2025 trash reduction mandate.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Black & Veatch Corporation to provide consulting services for environmental review, preparation of conceptual design, detailed design, permitting, and construction design support for an off-channel full trash capture device along the Colma Creek channel.

Scope of Services

Detailed Scope of Work
REVISED SEPTEMBER 4, 2024
Using our professional judgment and knowledge of
the project, we have adjusted the Scope of Work in
the RFP as described within this section to
streamline the project execution, provide greater
organizational clarity, or avoid scope overlap
between tasks. We will confirm our approach with
the Town and are happy to modify if necessary,
prior to the start of work. All meetings are assumed
to be virtual and one (1) hour in length unless
stated otherwise. The project budget assumes a
duration consistent with the "expedited" schedule
option. If the "typical" schedule is selected, Black &
Veatch can work with the Town to adjust the level
of effort such that the degree of active coordination
and number of meeting remains the same.

Task 1 – Project Management and
Administration
Task 1.1 Work Plan and Schedule
Black & Veatch will maintain a project schedule
broken down by task, identifying any task
dependencies. It will note which team members or
subconsultants are responsible for each task. The
schedule will be comprehensive and include key
milestones for the environmental process and
permitting, conceptual and detailed design,
construction, and commissioning and testing. The
schedule will contain time frames for procurement
of services, start and end times, and opportunities
for public review and input. These milestones will
be updated as needed and refined as the project
develops.

Task 1.2 Set-Up and Maintain Project Files
Black & Veatch will set-up and maintain project
files on a secure file-sharing site. The project files
will include agreements, meeting minutes,
correspondence, and copies of draft and final
technical work products. It will also include
reference documents, including reports, studies,
surveys, and official notices. At project closeout, a
copy of all project files will be supplied to the

PDF format monthly with a progress summary in
an email (Monthly Status Report). Black & Veatch
will provide regular updates to the Town, including
schedule, design, and invoices, and make our team
available for quick responses to the Town’s needs
and questions.

Black & Veatch will develop a Project Management
Plan for internal distribution at the beginning of the
project that will describe the quality objectives of
the project, roles and responsibilities for QA/QC,
and approach to document control. A QC Lead will
be assigned to review all deliverables using a
Quality Control/Verification Checklist that will be
developed to identify the deliverables and record
the reviews. The purpose of the QA/QC program is
that all project deliverables receive an appropriate
QC review consistent with company policy and
procedures prior to submittal.

Task 1.4 Kickoff Meeting (Black & Veatch / Town)
Black & Veatch will hold a kick-off meeting with
key Town staff within one week of receipt of NTP.

The goal of this meeting is to align expectations

assigned Town’s project manager and other
representatives as applicable. Additional
representatives to be potentially identified include
regulatory permitting agencies, San Francisco
Regional Water Quality Control Board staff, Caltrans,
and others who will attend the PDT meetings as
needed. The PDT will meet at key milestones during
the design, environmental review and permitting
processes until regulatory permits are approved.

Black & Veatch will prepare and facilitate PDT
meetings. Black & Veatch will prepare agendas,
other meeting materials, meeting minutes, and
action items.

Task 2.3: Individual Agency Coordination
Coordination with utility providers is covered by
Task 3.4, Utility Coordination. Coordination with
regulatory agencies as necessary for permitting is
covered by Task 4.2. This task includes additional
coordination efforts, beyond that covered by Tasks

2.2, 3.4, and 4.2, to discuss and coordinate
opportunities for project co-benefits. Co-benefits to
be explored include repairs of facilities in or around
the project that could be completed simultaneously
with the project at the agency’s cost, or green
infrastructure. Green infrastructure, landscape, and
irrigation system design is excluded from the scope
of work but can be provided as additional scope.

The Town and Black & Veatch will identify and
engage key stakeholders one-on-one as needed.

Task 3 – Project Initiation
Task 3.1 Review of Background Information, Plans,
and Studies
This task will include review of existing material in
support of design, development of design
alternatives for stakeholder review, and selection of
alternatives for the CEQA analysis.

Black & Veatch will thoroughly research and review
available background materials, identify any gaps in
information which may be necessary to complete
the alternatives analysis or design, and coordinate
with the Town for data collection. Black & Veatch
will submit and maintain a data request and
collection log to list information needed for the
project, and document information that has been
received. It is anticipated that this task will include review of a variety of materials pertinent to the
proposed project which will be provided by Town
staff, including, but not limited to, the following:
▪ Existing hydrologic and hydraulic models
for the creek.
▪ Previous design alternatives or analysis.
▪ Right-of-way documents, including records
of survey, deeds, and title reports.
▪ Utility information other than the
schematic mapping to be collected from
utility owners in Task 3.4, such as utility
prior rights and agreements.
▪ As-built plans of Colma Creek in the project
area.

The following information will be obtained from
publicly available sources, to the extent such
information is readily available and relevant to the
project alternatives analysis or design:
▪ Pertinent hydraulic requirements which
apply to the project.
▪ GIS-based right of way data from the
County, including assessor records and
assessor parcel numbers.
▪ Geotechnical, environmental, or land use
data.
▪ Aerial imagery.
▪ GIS data which may be pertinent to the
project.
▪ LiDAR data.

Task 3.2 Data Collection
This task will include collection of additional data
needed to support of design, development of design
alternatives for stakeholder review, and selection of
alternatives for the CEQA analysis. Based on
information received and reviewed through Task

3.1, Black & Veatch will meet with Town staff to
discuss additional data needed for completion of
the project.

Available San Mateo County high-resolution aerial
imagery for the project site is dated 2017 and does
not reflect the parking lot improvements and bridge
construction north of the Project site. However, this
reconstruction is not pertinent to the proposed
Project concept, and Black & Veatch can, therefore,
use this imagery, or other high-resolution imagery,
for the Project alternatives evaluation. Field
reconnaissance and detailed topographic survey
will be used to design the project. As a cost-
effective value-add, Black & Veatch’s topographic
subconsultant can work with a drone pilot to fly the
project site and provide a base map and current
aerial imagery for the project site, as well as a
project fly-through. This information could be used
to supplement field reconnaissance and
topographic efforts and support the creation of
visualizations.

Task 3.2.1 Topographic Mapping
Quiet River Land Services (QRLS) will conduct a
topographic survey of the project limits as may be
required to support Black & Veatch’s preparation of
the contract documents. It is estimated that
detailed survey data will be needed for the
OneShoreline parcel and adjacent channels, as well
as 200 feet upstream and downstream of this
parcel. Data will also be collected at 25 ft intervals
along the creek channels, from the project limits to
just upstream of the culvert at McLellan Drive, just
downstream of the culvert at Mission Road, and just
downstream of the culvert at El Camino Real.

Note that any survey work within private property
will require advance notice to the owners, typically
by way of a letter from the jurisdiction in which the
property is located to the owners of record. In
addition, it will be necessary that copies of the
recorded OneShoreline Easement documents (Legal
Descriptions) be provided to QRLS Offices for
review and assessment as to the location of those
easements. Additional property data, deeds,
documents and survey monuments may also be
required to accurately determine the rights of way.

BV has much of this material and will adjust this
request accordingly.

QRLS Office staff will perform research and gather
Digital GIS Maps as made available to our office for
the rights-of-way. The drafting process will
incorporate all relevant parcel and subdivision deed
and easement data that may be made available.

NOTE that this is not a Boundary Survey; a Boundary
Survey will be completed under Task 3.6. Digital
mapping of the surveyed conditions, features and
improvements will be provided in AutoCAD Civil 3-D
Format (.dwg) showing line work, structures,
symbols, and survey data as required and described
above.

Task 3.2.2 Geotechnical Investigation
BSK Associates will complete a geotechnical
investigation as outlined in its' proposal dated June
27, 2024, and summarized below:

Task 1: Administration
Task 2: Field Investigation
Task 3: Sample Review and Laboratory Testing
Task 4: Engineering Analysis and Draft Report
Preparation
Task 5: Final Report
Task 6: Review of Project Plans/ Specifications
Task 7: Post-Report Consultation
Task 8: Seismic Refraction Survey
As part of this work, BSK will perform field sampling
for the Environmental Site Assessment.

Task 3.2.2.1 Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), to
identify recognized environmental conditions
(RECs) in accordance with the ASTM Standard
Practice for Environmental Site Assessments:

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (E
1527-21). Information to be reviewed will include
standard historical sources back to 1940 or the first
developed use of the property, and record searches
for the site and surrounding properties of standard
ASTM E 1527-21 environmental sources. Interviews
with state and local government officials, owners,
occupants, and/or other persons who are familiar
with the property will also be conducted. An
environmental professional will perform a site
reconnaissance and automobile tour for the site to
Client’s and Consultant’s travel safety and security
policy. The findings will be summarized in a single
brief report provided electronically for the site. It
has been assumed that standard client-supplied
information will be made available prior to initiation
of the assessment, including but not limited to the
exact street address and legal description of the
property, property boundary and facility maps,
chain-of-title information, known historical use, and
other available background information.

Task 3.3 Field Visits
Black & Veatch staff will visit the Project site, take
photos, and perform field reconnaissance to
identify possible concerns or constraints to the
proposed Project design.

Task 3.4 Utility Investigations
Black & Veatch will conduct outreach with various
utility companies that have utilities within the
project area to let them know of the project and
request mapping of their facilities in the area. In
some cases, utility companies require that the Town
or lead agency submit these letters directly, in
which case Black & Veatch will prepare the contact
information and letters for the Town to distribute.

Based on the mapping provided, locations of
utilities will be added to the project basemap.

Mapping provided is often schematic in nature, but
will be corrected based on any utility features or
USA markings that are picked up through the
topographic survey. Excavation performed as part
of the geotechnical investigation will require USA
markings; the topographic survey can be
strategically scheduled after this investigation so
that those markings can be surveyed.

Utilities which are potentially impacted by the
proposed improvements will be shown on the
project drawings. Black & Veatch will prepare and
submit clarifying exhibits, if deemed necessary, and
correspondence with utility companies, to notify
utility companies of the need to relocate facilities
due to the proposed improvements and coordinate
utility relocations. It is assumed that up to one
clarifying exhibit will be provided per represented
utility company within the project limits. Black &
Veatch will discuss the project relocation needs and
utility adjustment schedules with utility companies
if needed, up to a maximum of eight (8) hours of
coordination time for up to three (3) utility
companies. Black & Veatch can provide additional
coordination on a time and materials basis beyond
the estimated project fee.

Task 3.5 Alternatives Development
Task 3.5.1 Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis
Black & Veatch will update the Existing Hydrologic
and Hydraulic Model (2021 Paradigm/ NHC Model
for County of San Mateo) to include the 1-year, 1-
hour trash treatment storm as well as the 50-year, 6-
hour and 100-year, 6-hour storms, as determined by
the Town. Climate change will be included in the
modeling as requested, up to a total of four model
runs. The County of San Mateo has previously
prepared the Colma Creek Hydrology and Hydraulic
Modeling Analysis (Paradigm/hnc, dated June 4,
2021). Black & Veatch proposes to use this model
as a base for the required project hydraulic analysis,
revised as needed to cover the above scenarios.

OneShoreline, the County or the prior modeling
consultants will need provide a copy of the model
for use by Black & Veatch.

Freeboard requirements will be determined by
OneShoreline. OneShoreline has previously
developed the Planning Policy Guidance, June 2023,
which includes Appendix A, Climate Adaptation Risk
Analysis for the San Mateo Countywide Sustainable
Streets Master Plan Technical Memorandum.

Appendix A projects rainfall intensity increases due
to climate change of 14% (2-year storm), 41% (50-
year storm), and 49% (100-year storm). Black &
Veatch proposes to use the increases for the 1-
year, 50-year, and 100- year studies, unless other
direction is provided by OneShoreline or the Town.

The modeling results will be summarized in a short
Technical Memorandum for review by the Town.

Task 3.5.2 Sediment Analysis
The project will remove sediment from the 1-year, 1-
hour storm (with or without climate change) in Old
Colma Creek Channel by means of a sediment basin
to allow sediment to settle out of the channel flow.

The sediment basin will be located within the
OneShoreline parcel, while also allowing space
within this parcel for the proposed trash capture
device. Preliminary sediment removal measures will
be scoped and sized. When evaluating sediment
basin alternatives, Black & Veatch will consult public
works operations staff to discuss accessibility,
equipment needs, and the desired frequency of
maintenance. The available footprint for the
sediment basin is limited, which will constrain the
amount of sediment that can be removed by the
project.

Black & Veatch has the capabilities to deliver a
detailed sediment analysis, but due to the
constraints of the project, the sediment analysis
would only be useful for determining the
maintenance frequency for removal of sediment, as
it will not be the controlling factor for sizing of the sediment basin.

For the Orange Memorial Park (OMP) project, which
is located downstream of the Project, bed sediment
samples were taken in August and September 2018
and tested for PCBs, mercury, and TOC. Wet
weather samples were taken in February and March
2019 and tested for PCBs, mercury, TOC, and
particle size distribution. We propose to use this
available data to dimension the loads for the
Project’s watershed size and quickly evaluate the
potential sediment load to help evaluate an
approximate frequency of maintenance. Following
the evaluation, a technical memorandum (TM) will
be prepared to summarize the findings of the review
of available sampling data and propose a sediment
basin concept.

Task 3.5.3. Alternatives Analysis
Keeping the overall project schedule in mind, Black
& Veatch proposes to conduct an abbreviated
alternatives analysis by utilizing the concept design
provided in the proposal. The design will be refined
thru a series of internal hydraulic model runs,
including up to four hydraulic model runs based on
the storm recurrences studied under Task 3.5.1 The
design concept will include a site access plan
showing how the site will be accessed to perform
maintenance. Once an acceptable hydraulic design
has been developed, a draft design layout will be
submitted to the Town for stakeholder review and
input. Black & Veatch will revise the design based
on consolidated stakeholder input and resubmit for
further review and input.

Black & Veatch will incorporate any further
stakeholder input and provide a third and final
design, which will be used as the basis for further
design.

This task will include the preparation of a Basis of
Design Report (BODR). The BODR will summarize
the project design assumptions and proposed
concept. It will also summarize maintenance
requirements for the project alternatives and
estimated maintenance costs.

Task 3.6 Boundary Survey
Quiet River Land Services (QRLS) will conduct a
boundary survey of the project limits. Work will
consist of:
▪ A boundary survey of th e OneShoreline
parcel.
▪ Setting steel property corner markers.
▪ Preparing and filing a record of survey with
the County Surveyor’s Office.

Task 3.7 Phase II Environmental Site
Assessment (Optional Task)
If the Phase I ESA indicates the likely presence of
RECs, a Phase II ESA will be completed site to
determine the scope and extent of potential
contaminants of concern (COCs). It is anticipated
that the Phase II sampling will occur in the same
mobilization as the geotechnical work. A hollow
stem auger drill rig will advance two (2) borings
through the anticipated excavation and up to 5 feet
below the anticipated excavations total depth which
is 8-10 feet below ground surface (ft bgs). Soil
samples will be collected via split spoon hammer
every 5 feet to approximately 15 feet below ground
surface (ft bgs). Up to 6 soil samples will be
collected for COCs. This scope assumes COCs may
be volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by US EPA
method 8260, total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH)
by 8015M and Title 22 metals by Method 6010B).

Each sample will be placed into its appropriate
container for the analytical method, labeled and
delivered on ice in a cooler under chain of custody
protocols. The locations of the borings will be
surveyed and backfilled in accordance with County
protocols. Analytical results will be summarized in
the ISA.

If groundwater is encountered during drilling, a
water sample will be collected from total depth with
a disposable bailer. The auger will be reversed at
least 2 feet to allow water to come into the boring.

Sample tools such as the split spoon or other non-
dedicated equipment will be decontaminated
between samples via pressure washing or in a 3-
bucket distilled water wash including Liquinox© or
similar product.

Decontamination water will be stored on-site in a
labeled container pending analytical results. The
water can be spread onsite pending it is non-
hazardous. If hazardous it will need to be removed
from the site under proper waste manifest.

Dependent on the findings of the Phase II ESA,
additional material (site management plan, worker
safety plan) may be necessary to be prepared and
included in the construction documents; this can be
provided as additional scope of work.

BASIS OF SCOPE
▪ Purchase of recorded documents is not
included in this proposal. Recorded
documents necessary for determination of
right of way will be assumed to be provided
by the Town.
▪ Survey Datum Notes:
▪ All Horizontal Coordinates will be
reported in CA State Plane NAD 83 Zone
3, unless otherwise directed.
▪ All Elevations/Benchmarks used or set
will be reported in NAVD 1988 Datum
unless otherwise directed.
▪ Reference all surveyed/located
Town/street survey monuments
found/used.
▪ The following items are excluded from the
scope of work:
▪ Encroachment permit fees, any bonds,
insurance or special assessments;
special classes, equipment or safety
requirements, or any as yet unspecified
fees.
▪ Obtaining or purchasing Title Reports
▪ Construction staking or services, which
will be assumed to be provided by the
Contractor
▪ As field work is not anticipated to occur
on streets, this proposal does not
include traffic control or preparation of
traffic control plans.
▪ Access will be granted to the OneShoreline
parcel for geotechnical, environmental, and
survey tasks. If required, BSK will obtain a
no-fee encroachment for drilling work on
the OneShoreline parcel. For other access,
there will be no formal encroachment
permits required and no fees. Access for
drilling equipment will be via the existing
channel access road from Mission Road
and/ or McClelland Avenue.
▪ The three design concepts provided under
Task 3.5.3 will progress toward a final
concept to be used as the basis of design.

Comments received after the second
submittal will not contradict the first
submittal comments.
▪ The Town will provide input on access
needs for operations and mainte nance
prior to the first submittal .
▪ The need for and scope of the Phase II ESA
will be determined after completion of the
Phase I ESA. A fee for the Phase II ESA is
provided in the proposal; this fee may need
to be adjusted based on the final scope of
the Phase I ESA.
▪ The scope of mitigation measures for
possible contaminants can only be
determined once the Phase II ESA is
complete. An allowance is provided for this
work. The allowance may need to be
adjusted based on the actual scope of the
needed mitigation.
▪ It is anticipated that the Phase II sampling
will occur in the same mobilization as the
geotechnical work. In the event that
sampling is not completed as part of the
geotechnical work, there will be additional
costs for a second mobilization.
▪ It is assumed that management or
transportation of decontamination water, if
needed, will be the responsibility of the
Town.

MEETINGS/WORKSHOPS

Task 4 – Conceptual Design Engineering
Analysis and Environmental Clearance
Task 4.1 Environment Assessment (CEQA)
Black & Veatch, with lead agency oversight, will
develop a California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) document, including performing necessary
environmental surveys, evaluations, and modeling.

Studies include a Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment (ESA) to determine the presence of
wastes and hazardous materials on site, a
geotechnical report, hydrology study, biological
study to determine the presence and possible
impacts to listed species, and any others that may
be necessary to perform a complete CEQA
analysis. The CEQA document will evaluate
possible impacts from the project, including, but
not limited to visual and aesthetic resources, air
quality, biological resources, cultural resources,
socioeconomics and environmental justice, noise,
greenhouse gas emissions, water quality and
hydrology, hazardous materials, and cumulative
impacts. The document will include mitigation
measures, if necessary. Black & Veatch anticipates
an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
(IS/MND) based on the project description.

A Draft CEQA document will be provided for
comments and revisions. Black & Veatch will
incorporate these in preparation for final issuance,
as well as file any required notices and documents
with the State Clearinghouse and county clerk,
including the Notice of Intent (NOI) to adopt the
CEQA document and public notice. Based on the
results of the wetland delineation, a National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis may be
necessary. Black & Veatch would work with the
appropriate regulatory agency to determine the
level of NEPA document necessary, and complete
the analysis, if needed, for an additional scope.

Task 4.2 Permitting
Black & Veatch will develop a detailed permit matrix
depicting all the required permits necessary for
project construction. The matrix will contain the
permitting agency, permit name, regulatory citation,
regulated activity, the estimated application
preparation time, the estimated agency review time,
and permit fee. Each of these permit-related
deliverables involves extensive expertise and a
thorough understanding of the many entities having
jurisdictional authority which Black & Veatch is
familiar with having successfully permitted
numerous projects in California. This task includes
a wetland delineation to determine the presence of
jurisdictional waters, consultations with applicable
regulatory agencies, developing and submitting
permit applications, and coordinating agency
comments to ensure permit issuance. Agencies
may include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and
the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality
Control Board. Due to the highly developed nature
of the site, impacts to listed species, including
formal reviews with the applicable regulatory
agencies, are not anticipated.

Task 4.3 ROW and Utility Impacts
Black & Veatch will evaluate the need for Right-of-
Way acquisition and impacts on utilities. Based on
design alternatives reviewed by Black & Veatch, all
work can be completed in either the parcel owned
by OneShoreline and within the 40’ drainage
easement dedicated to the City of San Francisco
over the adjoining Costco property. The project
would likely require encroachment permits and
long-term operating agreements, but not acquisition
of land or easements from other agencies.

Acquisition of Right-of-Way from private properties
is also not anticipated. Location of rights of way will be shown on the survey control sheet included in
the 60% Drawings. Under this task, Black & Veatch
will prepare a high-level utility relocation plan for
two project alternatives, if utility relocations are
necessary. Based on review of as-built construction
drawings in the area, there do not appear to be any
utilities within the limits of work that would be in
conflict with the work. This will be confirmed as part
of the utility investigation (Task 3.4).

Task 4.4 NEPA Assessment
Black & Veatch will provide a NEPA Nexus for the
CEQA Assessment developed under Task 4.1.

BASIS OF SCOPE
▪ Black & Veatch anticipates an IS/MND,
based on the project description.
▪ The project footprint is expected to be
under one acre in size; coverage under the
State Construction General Permit is not
required.
▪ CEQA compliance and documentation
would only be completed/required prior to
construction.
▪ The Town of Colma will serve as the lead
agency and will lead publication of the
CEQA document.
▪ The Town of Colma will provide timely
access to project information and
documentation, including existing surveys,
consultations, modeling, and studies, and
any other that is necessary and relevant for
preparation of the CEQA document.
▪ All fees, such as fees required to access
digital databases, and permitting fees, will
be covered directly by the Town of Colma.
▪ The Town of Colma will review and provide
feedback on deliverables in a timely
manner.
▪ Costs for Black & Veatch to perform
studies and field surveys necessary to
support the CEQA document are included
in the project fee.
▪ Black & Veatch assumes that impacts to
cultural resources will be minimal, and that
no cultural resource mitigation will be
required.
▪ Although a public hearing is not required
for an IS, if desired, the Town of Colma will
perform public hearings, including media
announcements, setting up venues and
dates/times, preparing exhibits, and
conducting the meeting. Black & Veatch
can perform these tasks for an additional
fee.
▪ Black & Veatch will conduct all agency
coordination virtually. No in -person
meetings with the regulatory agencies are
expected.
▪ There will be no major changes in project
scope once the CEQA process begins.
▪ It is assumed, for the purposes of the
estimated fee proposal, that the
environmental analysis under this task will
not begin until completion of the 60%
submittal and a 2 -week review period by
Town staff of the 60% design to confirm
concurrence on the pro ject scope and
approach. This is a best practice to ensure
that environmental analyses do not begin
until the project is well defined, as there is
a risk of a project change resulting in
significant rework or revision to the
environmental analyses. This as sumption
is consistent with Addendum No. 1.
▪ Assumes electronic submittals and no
meetings or travel for local permitting,
encroachments, and ROW scope.
▪ Permit closeout requirements shall be the
responsibility of the client or construction
contractor.

MEETINGS/WORKSHOPS
▪ Agency Meetings (up to 12)

DELIVERABLES
▪ Meeting agendas and minutes for up to 12
agency meetings.
▪ Wetland delineation, and other
studies/surveys required for CEQA.
▪ Environmental permit applications.
▪ Local jurisdictional permits.
▪ Utility Relocation Plan
▪ CEQA Assessment
▪ NEPA Nexus
Task 5 – Design Development/ Plans,
Specifications & Estimate/ Construction
Support
Task 5.1 – Not Used Task 5.2 60% Plans,
Specifications, and Cost Estimate
After the preferred alternative has been selected,
Black & Veatch will hold a virtual design kickoff
meeting with the Town. Following this design
kickoff meeting, Black & Veatch will develop 60%
plans and construction estimates for preferred
alternative. The intent of the 60% submittal is to
demonstrate the proposed design concept and
allow for an opportunity for feedback and buy-in
from the Town prior to the preparation of the 95%
drawings.

The 60% plans will denote any utility relocations
required as a result of the proposed improvements.

It is anticipated that the 60% drawings will consist
of up 16 sheets, as follows:

PLAN SHEET NO. OF SHEETS
Title Sheet and Vicinity Map 1
General Notes/
Abbreviations/Legend
1 Survey Control Plan 1
Construction Phasing Plan 1
Bypass Plan and Details 1
Plan and Profiles 2
Structural Layout Plan 1
Sections and Details 4
Manufacturer’s Cut Sheet 1
Site Restoration Plan 1
Stormwater Management Plan 1
Total Sheets 16

The actual sheet count may vary based on the
actual design.

Black & Veatch will hold a design review meeting
following submission of the 60% submittal to
provide opportunities for input prior to preparation
of the 95% design.

Task 5.3 95% Plans, Specifications, and Cost
Estimate
Black & Veatch will hold a design review meeting
following submission of the 95% submittal to
provide opportunities for input prior to preparation
of the final bid package
Task 5.4 Final Plans, Specifications, and Cost
Estimate
It is assumed that any major revisions will have
been made at the 60% design levels, and changes
made to the 95% drawings will be minor.

Task 5.5 Bidding Services
Black & Veatch will assist the Town during bidding
as follows: attend a pre-bid meeting, respond to all
bidders’ requests for information (RFIs), and
support the Town’s coordination efforts to inform
plan-holders of significant responses to RFIs and
prepare addenda as necessary. During bidding, all
proposers’ communications will be directed through
the City’s Purchasing Officer.

An allowance only for this task has been
established and will be tracked. If the allowance is
likely to be exceeded, Black & Veatch will
communicate this to the Town in advance, and, if
authorized, perform additional services on a time
and materials basis based on the Project rate
schedule.

Task 5.6 Construction Support Services
Black & Veatch will assist the Town during
construction and provide the following support
services:
▪ Attend and prepare information for an
internal handoff meeting from the design
team to the construction management
(CM) team. Consultant shall be prepared to
address possible construction pitfalls and
all items for the CM team to be aware of
(special working hours, shortened
timelines for submittal reviews, etc.).
▪ Attend the pre-construction meeting.
▪ Attend two periodic construction progress
meetings.
▪ Participate in the final inspection and
development of punch lists.
▪ Respond to RFIs, which includes clarifying
or providing revisions or additional detail
where necessary on the plans and
specifications. Response to RFIs shall be
timely to avoid construction delays and
claims.
▪ Review and respond to all submittals within
the period allocated in the contract
documents and as necessary to avoid
construction delays and claims.
▪ Review proposed substitutions, if any, for
conformance to plans and technical
specifications.
▪ Review and make recommendations on
proposed changes to the contract (Request
for Quotations and Contract Change
Orders).
▪ Prepare Record Drawings based upon red -
lines provided by the contractor and field
reviews.
▪ Participate in the “Lessons Learned
Meeting” with all parties at the end of the
project.

An allowance only for this task has been
established and will be tracked. If the allowance is
likely to be exceeded, Black & Veatch will
communicate this to the Town in advance, and, if
authorized, perform additional services on a time
and materials basis based on the Project rate
schedule.

BASIS OF SCOPE
▪ Work from the following disciplines is
assumed to not be necessary to complete
the project: electrical, instrumentation and
controls, security cameras, lighting, and
hoisting.
▪ The Town’s CM team will have primary
responsibility for CM and inspection.
▪ The consultant’s point of contact will be
the Town’s CM, not the contractor.
▪ It is assumed that markups will be
provided in electronic format. Bluebeam
markups are preferred if the Town has
Bluebeam software. Black & Veatch can
facilitate a Bluebeam review session to
allow multiple reviewers to add comments
simultaneously, if requested.
▪ It is assumed that draft front-end
specifications, except for those special
provisions mentioned in the RFP, (i.e., bid
item descriptions and measurement and
payment provisions, a list of submittals
required during construction, list of
information available to Bidders, a table of
inspections and associated responsibility,
and a warranty table) will be provided by
Town staff prior to development of the 60%
submittal.
▪ Estimates will be prepared in accordance
with AACE, International, with estimate
classes ranging from Class 5 for the
alternatives analysis phase, to Class 2 for
the final bidding documents.

required during construction, list of
information available to Bidders, a table of
inspections and as sociated responsibility,
and a warranty table) will be provided as
part of Task 3, with project schedule
updates to be provided under Task 1.
▪ It is assumed that deliverables will be
provided to the Town for distribution to
other stakeholders. The expedited
schedule option allows for three weeks of
review prior to comments being received.

The more typical project schedule allows
for four-five weeks of review time for
submittals, as well as time to resolve any
conflicting comments received with Town
staff prior to beginning on the next design
submittal.
▪ The Town will forward del iverables to
Caltrans for review. Caltrans will provide
comments within 5 working days of receipt
of the deliverables, per the terms of the

15 EXHIBIT C
Activity Schedule

Project Schedule
Black & Veatch is committed to driving a schedule that can be amenable to RWQCB staff. As a first step, we recommend communicating the proposed project timeline with RWQCB staff. Completion of construction in 2027 is only possible if RWQCB allow this deviation from MRP requirements. The advantage of a more typical project schedule is that it can reduce the risk of rework and allow more time to gain consensus across a diverse group of stakeholders. In our experience, it is best practice to allocate 8-12 months for CEQA/NEPA review and a minimum of two months for regulatory agency permit review. Minimum windows can be achieved with early coordination with regulators, which this project will accomplish through the Project Development Team. Following completion of permits, permit requirements must be incorporated as an attachment to the contract documents. This project schedule allows for four to five weeks of review time for submittals, as well as time to resolve any conflicting comments received from project stakeholders prior to beginning on the next design submittal. This schedule option also allows for more time for construction, including time to complete preparatory work ahead of the wet season, such as procurement of the large trash capture device.

On the next page, we have also presented an expedited schedule alternative.

Project Schedule
If RWQCB approve construction completion in 2026 but not 2027, the schedule below outlines the required project pacing to achieve this goal. This expedited schedule will require a significant effort on the part of all project stakeholders to gather data, review deliverables, and approve a selected concept within compressed time periods. The schedule below is aggressive, but feasible, and advances a completed design within calendar year 2025, with the 60% design completed two months ahead of June 30, 2025 to show good faith progress towards meeting the project objectives. By June 30, 2025, the team will be well on their way in advancing environmental review; RWQCB staff are likely to be understanding, and perhaps even appreciative of, the Town's diligence in completing a thorough environmental review ahead of construction. In order to achieve this schedule, the 30% design submittal has been eliminated. Work on the 60% drawings will begin during the alternatives development, advancing any aspects of the drawings that would be common to multiple alternatives. It is assumed that no utility relocations would be required, or that, if required, they would not result in any schedule delays. The aggressive schedule option allows for three weeks of review prior to comments being received, which is necessary to allow for review by multiple project stakeholders. It is also assumed that if this schedule option is selected, all submittals will be electronic. 1Eiii-i■■:i1

O

F THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF COLMA
ORDINANCE AMENDING SUBCHAPTER 4.07 OF THE COLMA MUNICIPAL

CODE RELATING TO SIGN REGULATIONS PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINE 15378
The City Council of the Town of Colma does hereby ordain as follows:

ARTICLE 1. RECITALS.

T
he City Council of the Town of Colma finds:
(a) Pursuant to the Town’s police power, as granted broadly under Article XI, Section 7 o
f the California Constitution, the City Council has the authority to enact and enforce ordinances and regulations for the public peace, health, safety, and welfare of the Town and its residents; and
(b) The City Council wishes to amend and update the Town’s sign regulations codified at Subchapter 4.07 of Chapter 4 (Business Activities) of the Colma Municipal Code to ensure consistency with the Town’s Zoning Code ( Zoning Code Update ), which was adopted on February 14, 2024 (“Zoning Code Update”); and
(c) This Sign Ordinance Update will amend Subchapter 4.07 to modify the order of the sections and new portions to include Section 4.07.026, Sign Types, Section 4.07.060, Table – Sign Regulations for Zoning Districts, and Figure 4.07.01 – Updated Auto Sales District of Chapter 4 (Business Activities) of the Colma Municipal Code; and (d) The Sign Code Update is necessary to ensure consistency with the Town of Colma Zoning Code; and
(e)
The City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing on August 28, 2024, at which time the City Council fully considered all oral and written testimony and facts and opinions offered at the aforesaid public hearing; and
(f
)
All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.

ARTICLE 2. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS.

T
he City Council hereby finds that all of the foregoing recitals and the staff report presented herewith are true and correct and are hereby incorporated and adopted as findings of the City Council as if fully set forth herein.

A
RTICLE 3. AMENDMENT.

T
he Colma Municipal Code Subchapter 4.07 is hereby amended as set forth in the attached Exhibit “A,” incorporated by this reference and 4.07 of Chapter 4 ( Business Activities) of the ITEM #4
Ord. No 822, Amending Subchapter 4.07 – Regulating Signs (Introduced 08.28.24) Page 2 of 3 Colma Municipal Code and staff is directed to make corresponding changes to any table of contents to the Municipal Code.

ARTICLE 4. SEVERABILITY. Each of the provisions of this Ordinance is severable from all other provisions. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance.

ARTICLE 5. CEQA. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15378(a)(1) as the Sign Ordinance Update is a sign ordinance amendment which is merely moving language around by recodifying existing language and adding new sections. Moving language, recodifying existing language, and adding new sections that are not anticipated to change the environment , are not activit ies that have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and is therefore, an activity not subject to CEQA.

ARTICLE 6. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance, or a summary thereof prepared by the City Attorney, shall be posted on the three (3) official bulletin boards of the Town of Colma within 15 days of its passage and is to take force and effect thirty (30) days after its passage.

I
certify that the foregoing Ordinance No. 822 was duly introduced at a regular meeting of the City Council of the Town of Colma held on August 28, 2024 and duly adopted at a regular meeting of said City Council held on September 25, 2024, by the following vote:

CHAPTER FOUR: BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
Subchapter 4.07: Regulating Signs

4.07.010 Purpose.
(a) The Town of Colma enacts this subchapter regulating signs to preserve the character of Colma as a city of memorial parks and cemeteries, to preserve the Town’s scenic corridors, to safeguard and enhance property values in the Town’s “G”, “R”, “C”, “P”, “E”, and “PD” zones, to reduce visual clutter, to protect the Town’s natural beauty, to encourage sound planning practices, to ensure the tranquility and peace of mind of visitors to Colma’s cemeteries, and to preserve and enhance the aesthetic, traffic safety and environmental values of the Town. (b) At the same time, it is the Town’s intent to provide for channels of communication to the public and to regulate on the basis of characteristic and proportion of signage. (c) The Town finds as to commercial signage that it is in the interest of both aesthetics and traffic safety that sign information is kept to a minimum. The use of subordinate information in commercial signage, such as telephone numbers, lists of products, pic tures of products, etc., is discouraged, but may be permitted. Where subordinate information exists on commercial signage, the name or use of the business shall be the dominant message on the sign. Subordinate information on commercial signage which presents as a traffic hazard will not be allowed.

Noncommercial signage, which rights are constitutionally broader, is permitted unless expressly prohibited within this chapter.

(1) The sign is incompatible with the design of surrounding structures; and (2) The continued existence of the sign will conflict with the orderly development of the Town.
(c) The holder of the sign permit shall be advised of the City Council’s intent to consider whether renewal of the permit shall be disallowed by written notification at least ten (10) days prior to the City Council hearing.

4.07.290 Building Permit Required.

No person shall construct, enlarge, alter, move, demolish, convert, occupy, equip, use, or maintain any structure with a sign without first obtaining a building permit issued by the Building Official. Each such sign shall be constructed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Building Codes as set forth in Chapter Five, Subchapter Four of the Colma Municipal Code.

4.07.300 Temporary Non-Commercial Signs.
(a) In order to strike a balance between, on the one hand, the need to maintain an expressive forum for speech, and on the other hand, to reduce visual blight within the Town of Colma, maintain the Town’s cleanliness and aesthetics and maintain public safety, the City Council of the Town of Colma finds that regulations governing the placement of temporary noncommercial signs and the removal of all abandoned temporary non-commercial signs is necessary to promote the Town’s aesthetics, public safety and the health and welfare of its citizens. Specifically, but without limitation, the City Council finds that:
1) Although temporary non -commercial signs provide an important and economic method of expressing temporary non -commercial and protected speech, they can also create visual, aesthetic and safety impacts that have a deleterious effect on the community.
2) Many times temporary non -commercial signs are placed in areas that conflict with traffic signals and devices or are placed on structures located in the public right -of- way. Prohibition of temporary non -commercial signs on public street medians, bridges, public utility box or any poles used for public utility, traffic control signs, traffic signals, or street signs is necessary to: prevent visual distractions to motorists which create traffic hazards, prevent unsafe road conditions, and to prevent eyesores from proliferating along public streets.
3) Temporary non-commercial signs placed on private property are sometimes left for months, sometimes years. These abandoned temporary non -commercial signs detract from the positive visual image of the community, and the community’s redevelopment efforts and also have a tendency to attract the placement of additional temporary signs and result in unattractive sign clutter. 4) Regulation of the size of temporary non-commercial signs is necessary for safety and aesthetic reasons, specifically, that the strong winds common in Colma would remove the signs, creating hazards and accumulation of debris, and extremely large or illuminated signs would create a distraction to motorists.

Regulating Signs Colma Municipal Code
(draft May 2024) Page 4.07-35
(b) No Permit Required. A Sign Permit is not required for any temporary non-commercial sign erected, installed or maintained in conformity with this subchaptere. No person shall construct, enlarge, alter, move demolish, convert, occupy, equip, use, or maintain any structure with a temporary sign without first obtaining a building permit issued by the Building Official. Each such temporary sign shall be constructed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Building Codes set forth in Subchapter Four of Chapter Five of the Colma Municipal Code. (c) Public Property.
(1) Except as provided in the next paragraph, no person may erect, affix, mark or maintain any temporary non-commercial sign on public property or within a public right- of-way, including but not limited to, public buildings and structures; public utility poles , wires and structures; traffic signs; public streets and sidewalks; and public parks. (2) The City Manager may designate public areas for non -commercial signs to be erected, installed or maintained, provided that the sign shall not exceed thirty-two square feet in area and shall be affixed to the ground.
(d) Private Property. A temporary non-commercial sign shall be not be erected, installed or maintained on private property, or on public property lawfully occupied by a private user, except in accordance with the following standards:
(1) Permission to erect, install or maintain a temporary non-commercial sign shall first have been obtained from the owner, owner’s representative, le ssee or tenant of said property;
(2) A temporary non-commercial sign shall not be erected, installed or maintained on the roof of a building;
(3) A temporary non -commercial sign placed in residential zoning districts shall be no larger than four (4) square feet; and
(4) A temporary non-commercial sign placed in zoning districts other than residential shall be no larger than sixteen square feet.
(e) Nuisance. Any temporary non-commercial sign that is in violation of this section shall be deemed a public nuisance, and the Code Enforcement Officer may order the owner of the property, and/or the owner of the sign , to remove the sign and abate the nuisance. The Town shall also have the authority to remove said sign in accordance with this section. (f) Removal of Temporary Non-commercial Signs in Violation of this Subchapter 1) A temporary non -commercial sign that is in violation of this section, is located on private property and has not been removed by the owner of the property, and/or the owner of the sign , after the owner has been provided with written notification to remove such sign, the reasons for the requested removal and a reasonable opportunity to remove the sign, may be removed by the Town.

Regulating Signs Colma Municipal Code
(draft May 2024) Page 4.07-36
2) A temporary non-commercial sign that is posted on public property or in the public right-of-way in violation of this section may be removed summarily by the Town at any time.
(g) Removal of Temporary Non-commercial Signs After Event. 1) Each temporary non-commercial sign shall be removed after any event to which they relate by the owner of the property, or owner of the sign . Temporary non -commercial signs remaining more than ten (10) days after any event to which they relate shall be deemed abandoned and a nuisance, and may be summarily removed by the Town after giving the owner of the property, or owner of the sign, written notification to remove such sign, the reasons for the requested removal and a reasonable opportunity to remove the sign.
2) Temporary non-commercial signs posted on public property or in the public right -of- way remaining after any event to which they relate may be summarily removed by the Town at any time.
3) Temporary non-commercial signs on vacant parcels remaining more than ten (10) days after any event to which they relate shall be deemed abandoned and may be summarily removed by the Town.
(h) Post Removal and Claim Procedures.
1) Upon removal of any temporary non -commercial sign by the Town, such signs shall be taken to the Town Corporation Yard for temporary storage. The Town shall keep an itemized account of the actual costs incurred in removing such signs, including incidental expenses.

The written notification shall inform that said sign has been removed and is available for pick-up at the Town’s Corporation Yard. All temporary non- commercial signs removed shall be stored in the Town Corporation Yard and may be destroyed by the Town if not claimed within fifteen (15) days of the written notific ation to the candidate, candidate’s committee, or ballot measure committee.

3) Any person claiming a sign so removed by the Town may have the sign released upon the payment of any fees incurred for removal of such sign. Signs not picked -up within fifteen (15) days of notification shall be destroyed and the responsible owner of the property, or any candidate, candidate’s committee or ballot measure committee shall be billed for the actual costs of the removal. The Town may recoup such costs by any reasonable means available.

(draft May 2024) Page 4.07-37
i) Appeal Procedures.
1) Any person aggrieved by any action of the Town, may appeal such action, in writing, to the City Council within five (5) days of any written notification by the Town of the impending removal of a sign or summary removal.

MEETING DATE: September 25, 2024
SUBJECT: Grand Jury Response – Restaurant Exteriors: The Neglected Space

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council make the following motion:

MOTION APPROVING THE TOWN’S RESPONSE TO THE GRAND JURY REPORT DATED JULY 9, 2024, TITLED “RESTAURANT EXTERIORS: THE NEGLECTED SPACE” PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINE 15378

COUNCIL ADOPTED VALUES
The discussion of Restaurant Exteriors: The Neglected Space is consistent with the Council values of responsibility because it gathers information and considers actions to collaborate with the County and other San Mateo County cities for sanitary conditions of the exterior of restaurant facilities, and vision because it looks to the future when making decisions.

BAC

KGROUND
On July 9, 2024, the 2023-2024 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury issued a report titled, “Restaurant Exteriors: The Neglected Space”. The Town of Colma is required to submit responses on the findings and recommendations pertaining to the matters over which it has some decision-making authority within 90 days. The Town’s response to the report is due to the Honorable Amarra A. Lee no later than October 7, 2024. The recommended response is outlined in the staff report and duplicated in the draft letter.

ANALYSIS
The Grand Jury report includes seven findings and four recommendations to address the countywide issue of sanitary conditions of the exterior of restaurant facilities. The Town’s ITEM #6

Staff Report – Response to Grand Jury Report on Restaurant Exteriors: The Neglected Space Page 2 of 7 response follows each finding and our response where the Grand Jury requested a response, and responses to the Grand Jury recommendations as follows:

Finding 1: Sanitary conditions of the exterior of restaurant facilities fall outside current inspections of the County Health Department. The varying unsatisfactory conditions in the waste removal areas of the facilities show something is lacking in the regulatory process.

Response: The Town partially disagrees with this finding; while we agree that sanitary conditions of the exterior of restaurant facilities fall outside current inspections of the County Health Department, Colma takes a proactive approach to keep waste enclosures sanitary by adding requirements in our franchise agreement with Republic Services that require the waste hauler to securely close lids on all containers after emptying, and close waste enclosure gates to eliminate trash, recyclables or organic material outside of container and keep vectors out.

We also require the hauler to replace any damaged enclosure doors. We require the hauler to carry clean up equipment and clean up any spills or dropped material or litter within 15 feet or the containers’ location and have penalties for non-compliance.

Per discussions with Republic Services manager regarding this report, their staff go on-site and complete a process to report issues regarding enclosures to see if there are conditions e.g. grease or materials on the ground, visible rodents, etc. and notify the business of the issue and ask them to address it or they contact Town staff to get involved. Republic staff stated Town staff are proactive in working with Republic and the related businesses to keep waste enclosures sanitary.

We also require Republic recycling outreach staff to complete weekly on-site waste assessments which include assessment of the enclosure to identify/address problems with the business and or driver who collects the waste, recycling, or organics containers. Our hauler also makes sure the business has sufficient capacity (aka ‘right size’ the containers) for waste, recycling, and organics to ensure service levels are adequate. Colma also has several code requirements regarding waste enclosures which are further discussed in this response below.

Finding 2: Sanitary conditions of parklets fall outside of current inspections by the County Health Department or Vector Control.

Response: The Town neither agrees or disagrees with this finding primarily because in Colma, we do not have parklets.

Finding 3: Sanitary conditions of exterior areas used for waste storage and disposal fall outside current inspections by local jurisdictions; local jurisdictions are, by and large, only reactive to an actual complaint.

Response: The Town partially disagrees with the finding because Colma takes a proactive approach in keeping waste storage and disposal areas (waste enclosures) clean and sanitary through requirements in our franchise agreement with Republic that require the waste hauler to securely close lids on all containers after emptying, and close waste enclosure gates to

Staff Report – Response to Grand Jury Report on Restaurant Exteriors: The Neglected Space Page 3 of 7 eliminate trash, recyclables or organic material to fly out of container and keep vectors out. We also require the hauler to replace any damaged enclosure doors. We require the driver to carry clean up equipment and clean up any spills or dropped material or litter within 15 feet or the containers’ location and have penalties for non-compliance. Per discussions with Republic Services manager regarding this report, their on-site staff has an ongoing process which includes reporting any issues regarding enclosures where containers are stored for collection and the hauler staff completes random site visits to see if there are conditions e.g. grease or materials on the ground, visible rodents, etc. and they notify the business of the issue and ask them to address it or they contact Town staff to get involved. Republic also notes that Town staff is very proactive in working with Republic and the related businesses to keeping waste enclosures as clean as possible. We require Republic recycling outreach staff to complete weekly on-site waste assessments which include assessment of the enclosure to identify/address problems with the business and or driver who collects the waste, recycling, or organics containers. Our hauler also makes sure the business has sufficient capacity (aka ‘right size’ the containers) for waste, recycling, and organics to ensure service levels are adequate.

Colma also has code requirements which require that waste, recycling and organics containers and the waste enclosures meet requirements, for example:
• 3.05.060 Duty to Properly Store or Dispose of Solid Waste. (a) It is unlawful to keep, deposit, bury or dispose of any Solid Waste (including Recyclables and Organic Waste), Special Waste and Hazardous Waste materials in or upon any public property, street, alley, sidewalk, gutter, park or upon the banks of any stream or creek in the Town, or in or upon any of the waters thereof, except as provided in this subchapter, and every person in the Town who disposes of Solid Waste materials shall dispose of same only in the manner provided in this subchapter. (b) It is unlawful to keep, deposit, bury or dispose of any Solid Waste (including Recyclables and Organic Waste), Special Waste and Hazardous Waste materials in or upon any private property without the permission of the owner or occupant of that property. Each person who disposes of Solid Waste materials on private property shall dispose of same only in the manner provided in this subchapter. (c) It is unlawful to store Solid Waste in such a manner so as to promote the propagation, harborage, attraction of vectors, or the creation of a nuisance, or dispose of refuse except as provided in this subchapter. (d) Each person owning, operating, occupying or in charge of any vacant or occupied premises, business establishment, industry or other property in the Town shall be responsible for the safe and sanitary storage and disposal of Solid Waste (including Recyclables and Organic Waste), special waste and hazardous waste accumulated on the property. • 3.05.070 Duty to Subscribe to Solid Waste Collection Services. (a) Each person owning, operating, occupying or in charge of any occupied premises, business establishment, industry or other property in the Town shall subscribe to Solid Waste, Recyclables, an Organic Waste collection service provided by a Franchisee or Permittee in compliance with the provisions of this subchapter.
• 3.05.080 Design Requirements. The facilities for any new, substantially remodeled, or expanded building or other facility shall provide for the proper storage and collection of Solid Waste, Recyclables, and Organic Waste, and must be approved by the Building Official prior to commencement of construction.

Staff Report – Response to Grand Jury Report on Restaurant Exteriors: The Neglected Space Page 4 of 7 • 3.05.090 Maintenance and Use of Containers. (a) Preparation of Solid Waste. All Solid Waste, including Recyclables and Organic Waste, shall be drained of free liquid before being deposited for collection. (b) Unlawful Use. (1) It is unlawful to use Solid Waste, Recycling, or Organic Waste containers provided by a Franchisee or Permittee for any purpose other than to facilitate collection by such Franchisee or Permittee. (2) It is unlawful to use Solid Waste, Recycling, or Organic Waste containers provided by the owner or occupant of property for any purpose other than to facilitate collection of Solid Waste by the owner or occupant of the property or by persons authorized by the owner or occupant to use such containers. (c) Maintaining Solid Waste, Recycling, or Organic Waste Containers. It is the duty of each person subscribing to services for the collection and handling of Solid Waste, Recyclables, and Organic Waste to maintain receptacles in a reasonably safe and secure manner; and all such receptacles shall be so placed and kept at the designated collection location so as to be readily accessible for removal and collection therefrom and placed such that they will not be a public nuisance or in any degree offensive. (d) Containers. All Solid Waste, Recyclables, and Organic Waste containers for residents or businesses must be non-absorbent, water-tight, vector- resistant, durable, easily cleanable, and designed for safe handling. Containers should be of an adequate size and in sufficient numbers to contain, without overflowing, all the Solid Waste, Recyclables, and Organic Waste that a residence, business or other establishment generates within the designated removal period. Containers, when filled, shall not exceed weight limits established by the Hauler. Containers shall be maintained in a clean, safe, sound condition, free from putrescible residue, and may not have ragged or sharp edges, or have any other defect liable to hamper or injure any person collecting the contents thereof.
• The CMC Chapter 4 Subsection 4.04 – Regulation of Food Establishment, Issuance of Permits, Fees and Penalties and subsection 4.04.060(e) – Trash Facilities – All trash shall be stored in enclosures so as to prohibit its being scattered over the ground. Such an enclosure shall be of suitable design and construction and must be maintained in a reasonably clean and sanitary condition at all times.

Finding 4: Most restaurant exterior areas are “out of sight” of the public and as a result complaints are less frequent.

Response: The Town partially disagrees with the finding because several restaurant exteriors in Colma are visible on all sides (e.g., Black Bear Diner, Starbucks, Burger King, etc.), so this is not fully applicable to Colma.

Finding 5: Because they lack oversight, unacceptable conditions in restaurant trash areas are likely not to be rectified.

Response: The Town disagrees with the finding because Colma takes a proactive approach in keeping waste enclosures sanitary by adding requirements in our franchise agreement with

Staff Report – Response to Grand Jury Report on Restaurant Exteriors: The Neglected Space Page 5 of 7 Republic Services that require the waste driver to securely close lids on all containers after emptying, and close waste enclosure gates to eliminate trash, recyclables or organic material to fly out of container and keep vectors out. We also require the hauler to replace any damaged enclosure doors. We require the driver to carry clean up equipment and clean up any spills or dropped material or litter within 15 feet or the containers’ location and have penalties for non- compliance.

As noted previously, discussions with Republic Services manager regarding this report, their on- site staff has an ongoing process which includes reporting any issues regarding enclosures where containers are stored for collection and the hauler staff completes random site visits to see if there are conditions e.g. grease or materials on the ground, visible rodents, etc. and they notify the business of the issue and ask them to address it or they contact Town staff to get involved. Republic also notes that Town staff is very proactive in working with Republic and the related businesses to keeping waste enclosures as clean as possible. We require Republic recycling outreach staff to complete weekly on-site waste assessments which include assessment of the enclosure to identify/address problems with the business and or driver who collects the waste, recycling or organics containers. Our hauler also makes sure the business has sufficient capacity (aka ‘right size’ the containers) for waste, recycling, and organics to ensure service levels are adequate. Colma also has code requirements which require that waste, recycling and organics containers and the waste enclosures meet requirements.

Finding 6: Wastewater from the cleaning of trash areas and from rain flows into the storm drain systems.

Response: The Town disagrees with the finding because stormwater requirements do not allow debris from waste enclosures to flow to storm drain systems. It’s important to note that this is an ongoing process to monitor and ensure stormwater requirements are met.

Grand Jury Report Recommendations
The following provides the Grand Jury’s Recommendation 4 and our response:

Recommendation 4: By June 30, 2025, inspectors for all jurisdictions with restaurants should be empowered to require owners/operators to add receptacles or increase the frequency of pick-ups.

Response: The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted due to this requirement already being a part of our franchise agreement requirements which is successful due to collaboration with our hauler. Additionally, our hauler has a long history of these businesses and can more accurately recommend an increase in service levels, or whether the number of containers should be increased or, whether there simply extenuating temporary circumstances for the business.

Summary of Responses to Grand Jury

Through discussions with Republic and Town staff, it has been noted that Colma doesn’t have significant or reoccurring problems related to sanitary trash enclosure conditions. However, staff has noted that several jurisdictions throughout the county have unsanitary trash enclosures, blowing trash, recyclables and severe stormwater pollution problems which should be addressed on a county level consistently through the County Health Department. Staff agrees with that the County Health Department should include more oversight for all jurisdictions to ensure sanitary conditions in trash enclosures through its inspections using the amended Food Facility Checklist because it’s a cost-effective solution to addressing problems countywide.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the responses to state that Colma has been proactive in efforts to keep waste enclosures sanitary through a combination of requirements for our waste hauler and through code requirements, however, the recommendations could assist other jurisdictions to improve sanitary conditions in waste enclosures and parklets for throughout the County.

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT

These actions can reduce stormwater pollution and improve sanitary conditions in Colma and throughout the County.

FISCAL IMPACT

None. There is no fiscal impact related to the response to the grand jury report.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)

Organizational or administrative activities of government that will not result in direct physical changes in the environment are not projects subject to CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15378.

ALTERNATIVES

None.

Dear Hon. Amarra A. Lee,
The following is our response to the Grand Jury Report: “Restaurant Exteriors: The Neglected Space” which was approved by our City Council at our September 25, 2024, City Council meeting.

RESPONSES TO FINDINGS
Finding 1: Sanitary conditions of the exterior of restaurant facilities fall outside current inspections of the County Health Department. The varying unsatisfactory conditions in the waste removal areas of the facilities show something is lacking in the regulatory process.

Response: The Town partially disagrees with this finding; while we agree that sanitary conditions of the exterior of restaurant facilities fall outside current inspections of the County Health Department, Colma takes a proactive approach to keep waste enclosures sanitary by adding requirements in our franchise agreement with Republic Services that require the waste hauler to securely close lids on all containers after emptying, and close waste enclosure gates to eliminate trash, recyclables or organic material outside of container and keep vectors out. We also require the hauler to replace any damaged enclosure doors. We require the hauler to carry clean up equipment and clean up any spills or dropped material or litter within 15 feet or the containers’ location and have penalties for non-compliance.

Per discussions with Republic Services manager regarding this report, their staff go on-site and complete a process to report issues regarding enclosures to see if there are conditions e.g. grease or materials on the ground, visible rodents, etc. and notify the business of the issue and ask them to address it or they contact Town staff to get involved. Republic staff stated Town staff are proactive in working with Republic and the related businesses to keep waste enclosures sanitary.

We also require Republic recycling outreach staff to complete weekly on-site waste assessments which include assessment of the enclosure to identify/address problems with the business and or driver who collects the waste, recycling, or organics containers. Our hauler also makes sure the business has sufficient capacity (aka ‘right size’ the containers) for waste, recycling, and organics to ensure service levels are adequate. Colma also has several code requirements regarding waste enclosures which are further discussed in this response below.

Finding 2: Sanitary conditions of parklets fall outside of current inspections by the County Health Department or Vector Control.

Response: The Town neither agrees or disagrees with this finding primarily because in Colma, we do not have parklets.

Finding 3: Sanitary conditions of exterior areas used for waste storage and disposal fall outside current inspections by local jurisdictions; local jurisdictions are, by and large, only reactive to an actual complaint.

Response: The Town partially disagrees with the finding because Colma takes a proactive approach in keeping waste storage and disposal areas (waste enclosures) clean and sanitary through requirements in our franchise agreement with Republic that require the waste hauler to securely close lids on all containers after emptying, and close waste enclosure gates to eliminate trash, recyclables or organic material to fly out of container and keep vectors out. We also require the hauler to replace any damaged enclosure doors. We require the driver to carry clean up equipment and clean up any spills or dropped material or litter within 15 feet or the containers’ location and have penalties for non-compliance. Per discussions with Republic Services manager regarding this report, their on-site staff has an ongoing process which includes reporting any issues regarding enclosures where containers are stored for collection and the hauler staff completes random site visits to see if there are conditions e.g. grease or materials on the ground, visible rodents, etc. and they notify the business of the issue and ask them to address it or they contact Town staff to get involved. Republic also notes that Town staff is very proactive in working with Republic and the related businesses to keeping waste enclosures as clean as possible. We require Republic recycling outreach staff to complete weekly on-site waste assessments which include assessment of the enclosure to identify/address problems with the business and or driver who collects the waste, recycling, or organics containers. Our hauler also makes sure the business has sufficient capacity (aka ‘right size’ the containers) for waste, recycling, and organics to ensure service levels are adequate.

Colma also has code requirements which require that waste, recycling and organics containers and the waste enclosures meet requirements, for example:
• 3.05.060 Duty to Properly Store or Dispose of Solid Waste. (a) It is unlawful to keep, deposit, bury or dispose of any Solid Waste (including Recyclables and Organic Waste), Special Waste and Hazardous Waste materials in or upon any public property, street, alley, sidewalk, gutter, park or upon the banks of any stream or creek in the Town, or in or upon any of the waters thereof, except as provided in this subchapter, and every person in the Town who disposes of Solid Waste materials shall dispose of same only in the manner provided in this subchapter. (b) It is unlawful to keep, deposit, bury or dispose of any Solid Waste (including Recyclables and Organic Waste), Special Waste and Hazardous Waste materials in or upon any private property without the permission of the owner or occupant of that property. Each person who disposes of Solid Waste materials on private property shall dispose of same only in the manner provided in this subchapter. (c) It is unlawful to store Solid Waste in such a manner so as to promote the propagation, harborage, attraction of vectors, or the creation of a nuisance, or dispose of refuse except as provided in this subchapter. (d) Each person owning, operating, occupying or in charge of any vacant or occupied premises, business establishment, industry or other property in the

Page 3 of 5 ends

Town shall be responsible for the safe and sanitary storage and disposal of Solid Waste (including Recyclables and Organic Waste), special waste and hazardous waste accumulated on the property.
• 3.05.070 Duty to Subscribe to Solid Waste Collection Services. (a) Each person owning, operating, occupying or in charge of any occupied premises, business establishment, industry or other property in the Town shall subscribe to Solid Waste, Recyclables, an Organic Waste collection service provided by a Franchisee or Permittee in compliance with the provisions of this subchapter.
• 3.05.080 Design Requirements. The facilities for any new, substantially remodeled, or expanded building or other facility shall provide for the proper storage and collection of Solid Waste, Recyclables, and Organic Waste, and must be approved by the Building Official prior to commencement of construction.
• 3.05.090 Maintenance and Use of Containers. (a) Preparation of Solid Waste. All Solid Waste, including Recyclables and Organic Waste, shall be drained of free liquid before being deposited for collection. (b) Unlawful Use. (1) It is unlawful to use Solid Waste, Recycling, or Organic Waste containers provided by a Franchisee or Permittee for any purpose other than to facilitate collection by such Franchisee or Permittee. (2) It is unlawful to use Solid Waste, Recycling, or Organic Waste containers provided by the owner or occupant of property for any purpose other than to facilitate collection of Solid Waste by the owner or occupant of the property or by persons authorized by the owner or occupant to use such containers. (c) Maintaining Solid Waste, Recycling, or Organic Waste Containers. It is the duty of each person subscribing to services for the collection and handling of Solid Waste, Recyclables, and Organic Waste to maintain receptacles in a reasonably safe and secure manner; and all such receptacles shall be so placed and kept at the designated collection location so as to be readily accessible for removal and collection therefrom and placed such that they will not be a public nuisance or in any degree offensive. (d) Containers. All Solid Waste, Recyclables, and Organic Waste containers for residents or businesses must be non-absorbent, water-tight, vector-resistant, durable, easily cleanable, and designed for safe handling. Containers should be of an adequate size and in sufficient numbers to contain, without overflowing, all the Solid Waste, Recyclables, and Organic Waste that a residence, business or other establishment generates within the designated removal period. Containers, when filled, shall not exceed weight limits established by the Hauler. Containers shall be maintained in a clean, safe, sound condition, free from putrescible residue, and may not have ragged or sharp edges, or have any other defect liable to hamper or injure any person collecting the contents thereof.
• The CMC Chapter 4 Subsection 4.04 – Regulation of Food Establishment, Issuance of Permits, Fees and Penalties and subsection 4.04.060(e) – Trash Facilities – All trash shall be stored in enclosures so as to prohibit its being scattered over the ground. Such an enclosure shall be of suitable design and construction and must be maintained in a reasonably clean and sanitary condition at all times.

Fi
nding 4: Most restaurant exterior areas are “out of sight” of the public and as a result complaints are less frequent.

Page 4 of 5 ends

Response: The Town partially disagrees with the finding because several restaurant exteriors in Colma are visible on all sides (e.g., Black Bear Diner, Starbucks, Burger King, etc.), so this is not fully applicable to Colma.

Finding 5: Because they lack oversight, unacceptable conditions in restaurant trash areas are likely not to be rectified.

Response: The Town disagrees with the finding because Colma takes a proactive approach in keeping waste enclosures sanitary by adding requirements in our franchise agreement with Republic Services that require the waste driver to securely close lids on all containers after emptying, and close waste enclosure gates to eliminate trash, recyclables or organic material to fly out of container and keep vectors out. We also require the hauler to replace any damaged enclosure doors. We require the driver to carry clean up equipment and clean up any spills or dropped material or litter within 15 feet or the containers’ location and have penalties for non- compliance.

As noted previously, discussions with Republic Services manager regarding this report, their on- site staff has an ongoing process which includes reporting any issues regarding enclosures where containers are stored for collection and the hauler staff completes random site visits to see if there are conditions e.g. grease or materials on the ground, visible rodents, etc. and they notify the business of the issue and ask them to address it or they contact Town staff to get involved.

Republic also notes that Town staff is very proactive in working with Republic and the related businesses to keeping waste enclosures as clean as possible. We require Republic recycling outreach staff to complete weekly on-site waste assessments which include assessment of the enclosure to identify/address problems with the business and or driver who collects the waste, recycling or organics containers. Our hauler also makes sure the business has sufficient capacity (aka ‘right size’ the containers) for waste, recycling, and organics to ensure service levels are adequate. Colma also has code requirements which require that waste, recycling and organics containers and the waste enclosures meet requirements.

Finding 6: Wastewater from the cleaning of trash areas and from rain flows into the storm drain systems.

Response: The Town disagrees with the finding because stormwater requirements do not allow debris from waste enclosures to flow to storm drain systems. It’s important to note that this is an ongoing process to monitor and ensure stormwater requirements are met.

Gr
and Jury Report Recommendations
The following provides the Grand Jury’s Recommendation 4 and our response:

Recommendation 4: By June 30, 2025, inspectors for all jurisdictions with restaurants should be empowered to require owners/operators to add receptacles or increase the frequency of pick-ups.

Response: The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted due to this requirement already being a part of our franchise agreement requirements which is successful due to collaboration with our hauler. Additionally, our hauler has a long history of these businesses and can more accurately recommend an increase in service levels, or whether the

Page 5 of 5 ends

number of containers should be increased or, whether there simply extenuating temporary circumstances for the business.

We appreciate the opportunity to respond to the Grand Jury Report. Please let me know if you have questions regarding our responses.

Sincerely,
Daniel Barros

RESTAURANT EXTERIORS: THE NEGLECTED SPACE
ISSUE
The exterior trash areas of food service businesses are often unsightly and unsanitary. How can this issue be addressed?

SUMMARY
Restaurant garbage and food waste is not always contained in designated exterior bins, and may overflow, attracting animals and other undesirable pests. While restaurant interiors are subject to County of San Mateo Health System standards and inspections, restaurant building exteriors are subject to a variety of standards and inspection programs, because each local jurisdiction has its own regulations for sanitation and safety for exteriors. For restaurant exteriors, responsibility for enforcement of local code and for inspection schedules varies from city to city. Generally, inspections are done when complaints are received. The extent of the issues may vary based on the municipality or district, day of the week (garbage collection day), or whether the building backs are visible to the public.

Grand Jury members conducted interviews with County officials, city officials, and waste handlers and performed their own spot checks (admittedly not scientific). A written survey (Appendix B) was sent to all twenty cities and towns in the County.

The Grand Jury found a significant number of restaurant exterior waste storage areas and areas below parklets had clearly deficient, unsanitary, unsightly and odorous conditions. The investigation found that the “standards” for these areas, i.e., how these conditions were monitored, and how codes and policies were enforced, to be inconsistent at best and non-existent in some instances. A quantification of the waste storage area problem proved difficult as many sites and their condition were dependent on the day of the week and their garbage pick-up days.

This Grand Jury report includes recommendations for a more proactive approach to handling the garbage and parklet sanitation problems around restaurant exteriors in San Mateo County, and suggestions for preventive maintenance.

BACKGROUND

People spent 20.7% more money at restaurants than on groceries in 2022. That figure rose to

29.5% in the first two months of 2023 according to Commerce Department data.1 This significant increase in use of restaurants and “micro” and “mobile” food services, not surprisingly, resulted in an increase in organic (food stuff) waste, paper, glass and general garbage.

Members of the Civil Grand Jury initiated this review of the health and safety conditions surrounding the immediate areas designated for waste removal after observing an increase in rodents around parklets. Initial walkthroughs behind restaurants determined that the problem related to waste management in general as well as to the parklets. Photos contained in Appendix A depict some of the disturbing findings.

The Grand Jury found a significant number of restaurant exterior waste storage areas and areas below parklets had clearly deficient, unsanitary, unsightly and odorous conditions. The investigation found that the “standards” for these areas, i.e., how these conditions were monitored, and how codes and policies were enforced, to be inconsistent at best and non-existent in some instances. A quantification of the waste storage area problem proved difficult as many sites and their condition were dependent on the day of the week and their garbage pick-up days.

This Grand Jury report includes recommendations for a more proactive approach to handling the garbage and parklet sanitation problems around restaurant exteriors in San Mateo County, and suggestions for preventive maintenance.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

California Health & Safety Code, Chapter 7 known as the “Retail Food Code” regulates, at the State level, the protections required for public health and safety of a “Food Facility”.2 The Code

1 https://www.census.gov/retail/marts/www/marts_current.pdf 2 H&S Code 113789 (a) “Food facility” means an operation that stores, prepares, packages, serves, vends, or otherwise provides food for human consumption at the retail level, including, but not limited to, the following:
(1) An operation where food is consumed on or off the premises, regardless of whether there is a charge for the food.
(2) A place used in conjunction with the operations described in this subdivision, including, but not limited to, storage facilities for food-related utensils, equipment, and materials. (b) “Food facility” includes permanent and nonpermanent food facilities, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) Public and private school cafeterias. (2) Restricted food service facilities.
(3) Licensed health care facilities, except as provided in paragraph (12) of subdivision (c). (4) Commissaries.
(5) Mobile food facilities.
(6) Mobile support units.
(7) Temporary food facilities.
(8) Vending machines.
(9) Certified farmers’ markets, for purposes of permitting and enforcement pursuant to Section 114370. 3 2023-2024 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury

has extensive requirements for the handling of food, preparation and service of patrons. They can best be described as affecting the “inside” of the Food Facility.

The exterior or waste disposal areas are only mentioned in Article 4, Section 114245.4. “If provided, an outdoor storage area or enclosure used for refuse, recyclables, and returnables shall be constructed of nonabsorbent material such as concrete or asphalt and shall be easily cleanable, durable and sloped to drain.”3 Refer to Appendix C for the California Health & Safety Code Article 4.

The enforcement of these State Regulations is assigned to “Enforcement Officers”4 of an “Enforcement Agency”5 which is delegated to more local organizations at the county or other local level. Section 1143906 gives the power to inspect facilities, take samples and prepare a written report of deficiencies.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT INSPECTIONS

The San Mateo County Health Department is primarily responsible for the inspection of restaurants and enforcement of the Health Codes related to them. The Inspection checklist (Appendix D) has 60 categories for inspection and only one (FO42) relates to waste disposal or garbage. In interviews, the Grand Jury found the Health Inspector does not generally inspect the areas behind the facility and does not inspect areas not immediately adjacent to the facility at all.

The County relies on the individual cities for enforcement of their nuisance laws in these areas.

As part of its Municipal Code, each City or jurisdiction maintains provisions for enforcement actions against properties (and operators) that maintain unhealthy, noxious, or dangerous conditions under their police powers to abate public nuisances. (See Bibliography)

LAND USE / USE PERMITS

It is beyond the scope of this investigation to analyze the municipal codes of each of the twenty jurisdictions in San Mateo County which have restaurant uses. Most cities require “use permits”

(10) Farm stands, for purposes of permitting and enforcement pursuant to Section 114375. (11) Fishermen’s markets.

3 Sections 114244 to 114245.3 inclusive speak only to the Food Facility which is defined as the interior of the facility.
4 113774. “Enforcement officer” means the director, agents, or environmental health specialists appointed by the Director of Health Services, and all local health officers, directors of environmental health, and their duly authorized registered environmental health specialists and environmental health specialist trainees.
5 113773. “Enforcement agency” means the department or the local health agency having jurisdiction over the food facility.

(conditional or otherwise) for restaurants in certain locations. As part of the building permit process, cities have the ability to require and specify the type, location, and frequency of waste disposal. More importantly, all have a general requirement that these areas be maintained at the owner/operator expense in a good and sanitary manner.

WASTE HAULERS / SANITATION COMPANIES

By far the biggest recipient of waste and disposal in the County is Recology San Mateo County serving the cities of Belmont, Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Foster City, Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Carlos, and San Mateo, the town of Hillsborough, County of San Mateo, North Fair Oaks, and West Bay Sanitary District. Recology of the Coast provides service to Pacifica.

GreenWaste provides service to the town of Atherton.

South San Francisco Scavenger Company (SSFSC) serves businesses and residents in South San Francisco, Millbrae, Brisbane and San Francisco International Airport. Half Moon Bay, Daly City and the unincorporated North County has an agreement with Republic Services, Inc. to provide recycling, compost and garbage collection services.

Each hauler negotiates independently on rates and pick-up policy. The Grand Jury reviewed the Franchise Agreement used by Recology. The agreement provides that the hauler shall replace or repair bins, dumpsters and other containers as needed or upon request.

DISCUSSION

SURVEY

The Grand Jury sent a survey to twenty jurisdictions (see Appendix B). Five jurisdictions relied solely on the County Health Department for enforcement of regulations related to restaurant waste facilities; two inspected and enforced only at the permit renewal stage; and nine assigned the duty to their code enforcement mechanism generally through Planning, Public Works or dedicated Code Enforcement personnel. Only three of the jurisdictions conducted inspections independent of a complaint. The majority, nine of fourteen, only inspected upon receipt of a complaint. (See Appendix B for the tabulated Survey results).

In summary, survey responses demonstrate that the Cities rely on the County Health Department for inspections of restaurant interiors and, in general, only respond to exterior conditions upon receipt of a complaint.

OBSERVATIONS

The condition at any one site is dependent on the frequency of trash removal. The site may be fine right after removal but, as the week goes on, the situation worsens. There does not appear to be any site-specific requirements (or at least any that are enforced) for residual cleaning such as power washing. Few sites inspected had any method of controlling wash down or steam cleaning waste from flowing into the storm sewers. The type of restaurant also impacts its output, e.g., some generate grease, oil and animal fat, which require special containers. 5 2023-2024 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury

The current requirements for trash enclosures by local jurisdictions are applied only to new applications, resulting in many outdated, legacies facilities and, without regular inspection, there is no monitoring of maintenance or repair. These areas are high impact areas and the enclosures and bins, dumpsters and cans are subject to heavy use. The Grand Jury found many bins, dumpsters and cans to be in damaged and filthy condition.

Economic forces impact maintenance and overflow conditions. An operator of a restaurant pays for disposal service by volume (size and number of containers) and frequency (number of pick- ups in one week). Increases in business generate higher volumes so what was working in the past may not be sufficient for the current or future situation. It is logical that operators of food facilities would see added frequency of pickups or added containers as a negative and an expense. This is a financial impact question.

IMPACTS ON THE COMMUNITY

Normal sanitation issues apply; smell, unsightliness and vermin7. Vector Control does not inspect trash or similar areas unless specifically requested. The Grand Jury interviews revealed instances of the presence of rats, mice and raccoons in trash areas and parklets. Insect infestation is also of concern. All this presents a health hazard to the public, the workers at these restaurants, and the trash collectors.

ENFORCEMENT OF EXISTING REQUIREMENTS

The County Health Department inspections do not include the areas outside of the building. The enforcement of the nuisance provisions by local jurisdictions is reactive and only called into play upon a complaint. Oversight of the condition of receptacles (dumpsters, bins, cans) is minimal, at best, and often non-existent.

SPECIAL CASES

Mobile Food Facilities (Food Trucks): The Permit Checklist for food trucks does not mention waste disposal. Food Truck regulation is an evolving body of regulation and should be reviewed at a later date.
https://www.smchealth.org/sites/main/files/file-attachments/20170915_mff_selfinspectionche cklist.pdf?1536778880

Farmer’s Markets: Several markets were visited by Jurors. Only the Farmer’s Market in San Carlos was the subject of an interview. This particular market occurs on a Sunday. It is organized

7 H&S Code 113939. “Vermin” means cockroaches, mice, rats, and similar pests that carry disease.

H&S Code 13939.1. “Vermin infestation” means the presence of vermin within the food facility as evidenced by actual live bodies, fresh droppings or vomitus, urine stains, or gnaw marks, that could result in contamination to the food, equipment, packaging, or utensils.

6 2023-2024 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury

by a private company (a community-based organization, CBO) which recruits and manages the individual Farmers and Vendors. The company polices the area at the breakdown of the Market on Sunday afternoon. The city of San Carlos has a street sweeper go over the area on Monday morning. These actions appear to be sufficient as the area was observed to be clean and free from refuse.

Parklets: Like Food Trucks, parklet regulation is evolving and should be reviewed in more detail at a later date. There are currently no separate inspection line items for parklets in the County Health Department checklist. Parklets increased significantly as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, which have proven efficient and desirable in many areas. At the outset, their construction was not heavily regulated and there were no specific building code requirements for inspection and cleaning under floors. As these facilities have become permanent, building permit requirements have increased. Problem areas identified in our investigation are:

1. Open floor segments can permit food and other waste falling under the floor of the parklet to the street;

2. Many have open side(s) permitting vermin to go under the parklet to feed on scraps;

3. Street drainage (from road crown and gutter flow) can exacerbate the problems of waste under the floor, including leaves and other refuse.

METHODOLOGY

The Jurors made several site visits over a period of eight months and took photographs. The Grand Jury conducted interviews with some officials of some cities and with several San Mateo County officials including the Health Department and Vector Control. A survey was sent to each city/town in San Mateo County.

FINDINGS

F1: Sanitary conditions of the exterior of restaurant facilities fall outside current inspections of the County Health Department. The varying unsatisfactory conditions in the waste removal areas of the facilities shows something is lacking in the regulatory process.

F2: Sanitary conditions of parklets fall outside of current inspections by the County Health Department or Vector Control.

F3: Sanitary conditions of exterior areas used for waste storage and disposal fall outside current inspections by local jurisdictions; local jurisdictions are, by and large, only reactive to an actual complaint.

F4: Most restaurant exterior areas are “out of sight” of the public and as a result complaints are less frequent.

F5. Because they lack oversight, unacceptable conditions in restaurant trash areas are likely not to be rectified.

F6. Waste water from the cleaning of trash areas and from rain flow into the storm drain systems. 7 2023-2024 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury

F7. Effective inspection of parklet sanitation can be severely hampered by closed skirting and lack of under floor access. Spacing between planking and lack of solid flooring can lead to accumulation of organic debris and possible infestation by vermin.

RECOMMENDATIONS
R1. By June 30, 2025, the County should amend its Food Facility Checklist to include the condition of trash area flooring, bins, dumpsters and enclosures, and note any needed repair, replacement or cleaning.

R2. By June 30, 2025, the County should amend its Food Facility Checklist to include the entire exterior waste storage area, retention areas and parklets, including flooring and underfloor areas.

R3. By June 30, 2025, the County should require operators/owners of restaurants to have a written diagram of their approved waste storage/retention area posted so the inspector can evaluate the condition of the facilities.

R4. By June 30, 2025, inspectors for all jurisdictions with restaurants should be empowered to require owners/operators to add receptacles or increase the frequency of pick-ups.

Note: The Grand Jury is not able to recommend changes to building codes or planning criteria to cities or the County. However, in our review we did find the City of Palo Alto has a publication with clear and comprehensive regulations/recommendations for these areas. “Comprehensive Guidelines for Commercial Trash Enclosures:
https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/v/1/planning-amp-development-services/palo- alto-trash-enclosure-area-guidelines-march-2017.pdf”

2023-2024 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury
Staff Report Unrepresented Cost of Living Increases and Adoption of Salary Schedule

STAFF REPORT
TO:

Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Barros, City Manager
MEETING DATE: September 25, 2024
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolutions Approving Cost of Living Increases for Certain Unrepresented Employees and Adopting the Town’s Salary Schedule (Continued from September 11, 2024)

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following resolutions:

RESOLUTION APPROVING COST OF LIVING SALARY INCREASES FOR CERTAIN UNREPRESENTED EMPLOYEES PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINE 15378 RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE SALARY SCHEDULE AS OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINE 15378

COUNCIL ADOPTED VALUES
The Staff recommendation is consistent with the Council adopted values of:
•
Responsibility: Making decisions after prudent consideration of their financial impact, taking into account the long-term financial needs of the agency. • Fairness: Treat all persons, claims and transactions in a fair and equitable manner.

BACKGROUND
At its September 11, 2024 meeting, the Council considered adopting resolutions approving Memorandums of Understanding, approving cost of living increases for certain unrepresented employees and modifying the Town’s Salary Schedule, amending the Colma Administrative Code Subchapter 3.02 Relating to Standby Duty and Overtime, and introducing an ordinance amending the Municipal Code relating to Town Holidays. By consensus, the Council deferred consideration of approving cost of living increases for certain unrepresented employees and modifying the Town’s Salary Schedule to its September 25, 2024 to continue labor negotiations in closed session.

ITEM #7
Staff Report Unrepresented Cost of Living Increases and Adoption of Salary Schedule

ANALYSIS
The unrepresented employees are not members of any employee association. The Town has had an informal policy for some time that the unrepresented employees should be treated similarly to the Colma Police Officers Association and Dispatch Association. As a result, the City Council authorized the City Manager to provide the same increases/changes to the unrepresented employees, which was conveyed during a meeting with the unrepresented employees in August, as each employee (with the exception of the City Manager) will receive

3.8 percent pay increase effective September 25, 2024. Additionally, Employees will also receive three (3) separate 2% pay increases every six months beginning December 2024 through December 2025 (the first increase in December of 2024 remains contingent on the voters approving the sales tax ballot measure at the November 5, 2024 election). This amounts to a 9.8 percent pay increase over two years.

At the September 11, 2024 meeting, the City Council agreed to meet in closed session on September 25, 2024 to continue to negotiate the timing of the first salary increase. If the City Council concludes its negotiations, it can consider and adopt the resolutions associated with this agenda item and confirm its desired timing for the first salary increase.

FISCAL IMPACT
The approval of the attached resolutions, accompanied by the approval of the POA and Dispatch MOUs from the September 11, 20224 City Council Meeting, will increase Town salaries and benefits by a cost of approximately $920,000 over the life of the MOUs. This amount has been calculated into the Town’s long term financial forecast and can be accommodated.

ALTERNATIVES
Council could elect to not adopt the resolutions. Doing so would further delay labor negotiations, and the implementation of a salary increase for some staff while others have already received it. If not adopted, please provide direction to staff as to next steps.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolutions and confirm the timing of the first salary increase.

STAFF REPORT
TO
: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Christopher J. Diaz, City Attorney
VIA: Dan Barros, City Manager
MEETING DATE: September 25, 2024
SUBJECT: Study Session: Council Salaries

RECOMMENDATION
None. This item is a study session. Council is being asked to provide staff with comments, questions, and feedback.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A councilmember recently inquired with staff about holding a study session to obtain the City Council’s input on considering an increase to the Council’s current salary of $961 per month. The increase of City Council salaries is governed by state law pursuant to Government Code Section 36515. This section generally limits increases to no more than 5% per year from the last increase in salary. The City Council last increased the City Council’s salary in 2018 through its adoption of Ordinance No. 784 which increased the City Council’s salary at the time by 4% from $924 to $961 per month.

FISCAL IMPACT
Any City Council decision to increase the Council salary would have a fiscal impact on the Town in terms of increased compensation for councilmembers, but funds have been included in the FY 24-25 budget for any increase in salary.

ENVIRONMENTAL
The City Council’s direction or decision to increase its salary is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15378 as it is more akin to a government fiscal activity, which do es not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

ANALYSIS
Government Code Section 36516 allows the City C ouncil to increase the salaries of council members by an amount equal to five percent (5%) for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment of the salary. Under this formula, the Council may adopt an ordinance ITEM #8
25977.00100\42521952.1

Staff Report Council Salaries Page 2 of 2

this year increasing the salary of council members by 30% (5% per year times six calendar years since December 2018 , which was the operative date of the last salary increase). Under Government Code § 36516.5, a change in compensation of a council member does not become effective until one or more members of the council begins a new term of office. When at least one council member begins a new term, all members are entitled to the adopted increase in compensation. Thus, if the City Council ap proves an increase, it would become effective at the time of the swearing in of a new council in December 2024.

In 2018, the City Council was eligible for a 20% increase since the last adjustment was in 2014 (5% per year for four years). At the time, the City Manager recommended, and the City Council agreed, to only take a 4% increase changing the salary from $924 per month to the current $961 per month. This 4% increase was based on salary increases for all Town employees that were provided in 2018 with 2% in January 2018 and 2 % in July 2018 for a total of 4%.

If the City Council opts to take the full legally allowable 30% increase, it would adjust the current Council salary from $961 per month to $1249 to month. The City Council could choose to increase its salary consistent with the first increase for all employees which is 3.8%. An adjustment of

3.8% would adjust the current Council salary from $961 per month to $997.

The City Council should direct staff on any potential increase in Council salary. The City Council could opt to maintain the current Council salary of $961 per month. It can also adjust the salary by as little as 1% to as high as 30%.

Council Adopted Values
The City Council’s decision to consider an adjustment to the Council salary is consistent with the Council value of
vision as it ensures the City Council is looking to the future to keep the Council salary at an appropriate amount and that the amount does not fall too far behind based on inflation and other factors.

Alternatives
The City Council could choose not to adjust the Council salary amount if desired and forgo the study session. Either way, staff is seeking clear direction from the City Council on any adjustment and any adjustment percentage.

CONCLUSION
The City Council should discuss and provide direction on any adjustment in Council salary.
