RESOLUTION TO EXTEND A LOCAL EMERGENCY DECLARATION DUE TO THE

DISCOVERY OF CAULERPA PROLIFERA IN THE CORONADO CAYS
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution to extend a local emergency declaration due to the discovery of Caulerpa prolifera.

BACKGROUND:

On September 21, 2023, an approximately 24 square meter patch of Caulerpa prolifera was discovered growing underneath and adjacent to boat docks along the eastern edge of Antigua Village within the Unified Port of San Diego’s (Port) jurisdictional waters of the Coronado Cays during pre-construction underwater surveys associated with the Antigua Village Dock Replacement project. Surveys conducted subsequent to the initial discovery have revealed approximately 0.25-acres of additional Caulerpa prolifera infestations on the north side of Antiqua Village and within City of Coronado jurisdictional waters.

Caulerpa prolifera can expand aggressively if left untreated and displace native habitats including the 1,900 acres of eelgrass habitat in South San Diego Bay. Any impacts to eelgrass could threaten numerous other species including 70 different fish species and 60-80 federally listed green sea turtles that rely on eelgrass as foraging and resting habitat.

The threat to sensitive marine habitats and species posed by Caulerpa prolifera prompted the City of Coronado and the Port to declare local emergencies in November 2023. The emergency declarations also satisfied conditions necessary to access state and federal grant funding to complete additional underwater surveys and initiate eradication efforts. Pursuant to state law, the City’s local emergency declaration will expire on February 1, 2025 unless extended by the City Council.

ANALYSIS:

City staff has continued to work with partner agencies and stakeholders as part of the Southern California Caulerpa Action Team (SCCAT) to identify funding opportunities and to develop an eradication plan. Since the November 2023 City Council emergency declaration, a total of $850,000 in grant funding has been secured, including a $500,000 allocation from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Cleanup and Abatement Account and $350,000 from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Invasive Species Grant Program. While these grant awards are significant and will allow additional surveys and initiation of eradication efforts, it is anticipated that the total project cost will exceed $1.2 million and could escalate if additional areas of infestation are identified.

Extending the local emergency declaration would allow the City and partner agencies to continue to pursue other sources of grant funding while also recognizing that the Caulerpa infestation in City waters remains a threat until it is successfully treated and eradicated.

City of Coronado Page 93
FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

ALTERNATIVE:

The City Council may choose not to extend the local emergency declaration.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

Categorically Exempt per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines; Class 7, Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of Natural Resources.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
January 21, 2025 5d

AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE A TASK ORDER FOR PROFESSIONAL DESIGN SERVICES TO MICHAEL BAKER INTERNATIONAL FOR A NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $200,000

FOR THE CAYS PUMP STATION IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Find the proposed Cays Pump Station Improvement project exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA guidelines section 15302;

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Task Order with Michael Baker International for a not-to-exceed amount of $200,000 for the design and preparation of technical specifications for the Cays Pump Station Improvements project.

BACKGROUND:

The Coronado Cays wastewater pump station is located on the west side of Coronado Cays Boulevard near its northern terminus and adjacent to North Cays Park. The Cays pump station was originally built in 1970 and renovated in 2008. The pump station collects wastewater from the Cays subdivision and the Naval Base Coronado Coastal Campus and conveys the collected wastewater through the existing Cays force main, located directly adjacent to State Route 75, north to the Glorietta Pump Station in Glorietta Bay Park.

The proposed project includes, but is not limited to: field surveying and mapping to develop site plans; two new flow meters and control system upgrades; new bypass system improvements including a new pumping well; evaluation of existing back-up generator and control equipment with generator upgrades/replacement if needed; refurbishment or replacement of existing safety hatch mechanisms as needed; and new safety railing. These improvements will enhance operations, maintenance and safety.

ANALYSIS:

Michael Baker International (MBI), one of the City’s on-call civil engineering consultants, was asked to submit a proposal for civil engineering design work for the pump station improvements project. A field meeting between Public Services and Engineering staff was held at the site so that staff could provide the MBI design team with the scope of work being requested and allow them to inspect the facility.

After negotiating fees and services to be provided, MBI provided the City with a written proposal, Attachment 1 – Michael Baker Task Order, detailing the scope of work. Additional support services will be required during construction of the project and will be identified during the project award for construction.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This project was approved in the FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program with an allocation of $500,000 from the Wastewater Fund. No funds have been spent to date and sufficient funds are available for the proposed design task order. It is anticipated additional funds will likely be required to construct the project.

City of Coronado Page 95
Attachment 1
WHEREAS, significant funding will be required to determine the extent of the Caulerpa prolifera infestation in San Diego Bay and for the eradication of the Caulerpa prolifera found to date; and
WHEREAS, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Cleanup and Abatement Account has up to $500,000 in funds to support the eradication efforts and the additional surveys that are required to determine the extent of the algae infestation; and WHEREAS, City staff has been informed that a local emergency declaration is required in order to secure funding through the SWRCB Cleanup and Abatement Account; and WHEREAS, The Coronado City Council adopted a Resolution to Declare a Local Emergency on November 21, 2023 and subsequently adopted additional 60-day extensions due to the ongoing infestations on January 16, 2024, March 5, 2024, April 16, 2024, June 6, 2024; July 16, 2024, September 3, 2024, October 15, 2024, December 3, 2024; and WHEREAS, The Emergency Declaration is set to expire on February 1, 2025 unless further extended by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, The Caulerpa prolifera infestation in City waters will continue to pose a threat to sensitive marine habitats and species until eradication efforts have been successfully completed; and
WHEREAS, based on the facts recited hereinabove and detailed in the corresponding agenda report, the existing and threatened conditions to cause extreme peril to the safety of property within the City’s jurisdiction caused by Caulerpa prolifera; the existing and threatened conditions are, or are likely to be, beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of the City, and may require the supplemental efforts and available resources of other local government entities, the state and/or federal government, and/or disaster relief organizations to help alleviate the damage, loss, hardship, or suffering caused thereby.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that a local emergency now exists based on the discovery of invasive Caulerpa prolifera algae in Coronado Cays waterways; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Coronado hereby determines that this activity is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15307 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, Class 7 because the project consists of actions taken by regulatory agencies as authorized by state law or local ordinance to assure the maintenance, restoration, or enhancement of a natural resource where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment; and City of Coronado Page 96
Attachment 1
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that during the existence of said local emergency the powers, functions, and duties of the emergency organization of this City shall be those prescribed by state law, ordinances, and resolutions of this City, and approved plans of the City of Coronado in order to mitigate the effects of this local emergency, including the receipt, processing, and coordination of all inquiries and requirements necessary to obtain available state and federal assistance.

PASSED, ADOPTED, AND APPROVED by the City Council of the City of Coronado, California, at a regular meeting thereof this twenty-first day of January 2025 by the following vote to wit:

AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO AWARD CONTRACTS FOR AS-NEEDED

HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT AND EMERGENCY ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE SERVICES TO PATRIOT ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC. ANCON MARINE, CLEAN HARBORS, INC., AND J&L CONSTRUCTORS, INC. FOR CONTRACT TERMS OF FIVE YEARS; AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE EXPENDITURES UP TO $500,000

PER CONTRACT PER YEAR
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Authorize the City Manager to award contracts to Patriot Environmental Services, Inc., Ancon Marine, Clean Harbors, Inc., and J&L Constructors for as-needed emergency environmental response services, with each contract having a term of five (5) years.

2. Authorize the City Manager to approve expenditures up to $500,000 per contract, per year, within the approved budgets of the solid waste budget unit account 13030000-80030, wastewater budget unit account 61081000-80030 and storm drain budget unit account 6308000-80030.

BACKGROUND:

The City has contracted with at least one vendor for as-needed emergency response and environmental support services that have exceeded the City’s capacity since 2017. The range of services and contract amount varies based upon the City’s needs. Services have included emergency response and environmental support services including but not limited to sanitation services, spill management, biohazard containment, gray water release management, crime scene clean up and biowaste disposition. Historically, Police Services and divisions within Public Services and Engineering have been the most frequent utilizers of the emergency response and environmental support services.

ANALYSIS:

In an effort to enhance the City’s emergency preparedness and response capabilities and to augment operational capacity, the Public Services and Engineering Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on June 20, 2024, for As-Needed Hazardous Waste Management and Emergency Environmental Response Services.

The scope of services outlined in the RFP included 24-hour emergency response for spills, hazardous waste management, and providing environmental support services that exceed the City’s capacity. The City received four proposals by the submission deadline of August 12, 2024.

After reviewing the proposals, staff recommends awarding contracts to Patriot Environmental Services, Inc., Ancon Marine, Clean Harbors, Inc., and J&L Constructors to provide robust emergency response and environmental support services. The selected firms possess the necessary qualifications, experience, and capacity to provide the required services in compliance with local, state and federal regulatory requirements. Each firm will be retained on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed minimum amount of work and will provide timely and effective emergency response and environmental support services.

By engaging multiple contractors and allowing the City Manager to have increased authority to City of Coronado Page 109
utilize the contractors during emergencies, the City will have greater flexibility and access to emergency resources, which will ensure rapid response and continuity of operations, particularly during overlapping or critical incidents. This approach enhances the city’s ability to respond effectively and efficiently, minimizing potential delays and ensuring resources are available when most needed.

FISCAL IMPACT:

It is anticipated that expenses for each individual contract will be, at most, $100,000 per fiscal year with the potential to increase to $500,000 per fiscal year, during emergencies. Historically, annual emergency and environmental support services range between $20,000 and $100,000 during years without significant numbers of rain events, declared emergencies or critical incidences. These expenses are programmed in the solid waste budget unit account 13030000- 80030, wastewater budget unit account 61081000-80030 and storm drain budget unit account 6308000-80030.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

These contracts are exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines section 15269, which pertains to emergency repairs to public facilities to maintain essential public services and to prevent or mitigate an emergency, including repairs that require a reasonable amount of planning. (CEQA Guidelines § 15269(b), (c).) The contracts are also exempt from CEQA per the Class 30 CEQA Guidelines section 15330 exemption for minor actions to prevent or minimize releases of hazardous wastes costing $1 million or less. (CEQA Guidelines § 15330.) The contracts are further exempt as regulatory actions taken to protect natural resources and the environment under the Class 7 and 8 exemptions at CEQA Guidelines sections 15307 and 15308. Finally, the contracts are exempt from CEQA per the Class 1 exemption at CEQA Guidelines section 15301 for repairs and maintenance of public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former uses.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
January 21, 2025 8a
820 G AVENUE: DETERMINATION THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT GUIDELINES SECTION 15332

AND A REQUEST FOR A TWO-LOT TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP TO ALLOW FOR CONDOMINIUM OWNERSHIP OF FOUR RESIDENTIAL UNITS (PC 2024-05) RECOMMENDATION:

Determine that the project located at 820 G Avenue is categorically exempt under Class 32 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15332 (In-Fill Development) and adopt a Resolution approving the Tentative Parcel Map, including the findings and conditions.

BACKGROUND:

The request is for approval of a two-lot Tentative Parcel Map, per Coronado Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 82.60 Minor Subdivisions.

The site is located on the west side of G Avenue, halfway between Eighth and Ninth Street. The two existing underlying parcels abut each other. Each lot has approximately 25 feet of frontage along G Avenue, is 140 feet deet, and connects to an alley. The combined lot size for both parcels is 7,004 square feet. The property is surrounded mainly by multi-family dwelling units in the R-3 Zone.

The zoning for the property is “R-3 Multiple-Family Residential,” which has a minimum lot size requirement of 3,500 square feet. The size of each subject parcel (3,502 square feet) complies with the minimum lot size.

The property’s General Plan Designation is Medium Density Residential, which allows up to 28 dwelling units per acre (i.e., R-3 Zone). The project complies, since a lot size of 3,502 square feet for each lot would yield two units on each lot, for a combined total of four units.

ANALYSIS:

CMC Chapter 82.50 and Section 82.60.020 outline the requirements and procedures applicable to Tentative Maps. CMC Section 82.50.090(B) requires the Department of Community Development to “prepare a staff report to the Planning Commission containing recommendations regarding the proposed” Tentative Parcel Map. Pursuant to CMC Section 82.50.110(B), the Planning Commission is authorized to recommend to the City Council the approval, conditional approval, or denial of the Tentative Parcel Map. As appropriate, the Planning Commission is to recommend the kind, nature and extent of improvements that should be constructed or installed. The recommendation is then presented to the City Council according to CMC Section 82.50.120(A). If the Tentative Parcel Map is approved, the Tentative Parcel Map will become final upon compliance with CMC Chapter 82.64 as a minor subdivision.

City of Coronado Page 255
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on December 10, 2024, where they recommended that the City Council approve the Tentative Parcel Map with the conditions of approval found in the draft resolution (Attachment 1).

Off-street parking spaces will be provided in accordance with CMC 86.58. The approval of this Tentative Parcel Map will permit each of the four individual units to be sold separately as condominiums. The configuration of the existing lot will remain as-is with no changes proposed for the exterior lot lines.

The Tentative Parcel Map and proposed residential use is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, complies with the State Map Act and the Coronado Subdivision Ordinance. In addition, the plans were reviewed by the Public Services, Engineering, and Fire departments, as well as external stakeholders, such as SDG&E and California American Water, whose proposed conditions are set out in Attachment 1.

The State Subdivision Map Act and Coronado Subdivision Ordinance provide authority to local agencies to impose conditions on the approval of subdivisions. The subdivider can be required to dedicate land to public use, make public improvements, pay required fees, or other conditions as needed to mitigate any adverse impacts of the subdivision on the community, to provide governmental services to subdivision residents, and to implement the requirements of the local general plan. Required public improvements have been incorporated into the attached list of conditions and are consistent with requirements of other subdivision maps.

For additional details, please see the attachments. The full size proposed Tentative Parcel Map is available to review in the Community Development Department office.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

ALTERNATIVE:

The Council may elect to deny the Tentative Parcel Map application and make appropriate findings.
