Item type: CONSENT CALENDAR (ACTION)
To: City Council
Subject: CONSIDER RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PURCHASE

AND INSTALLATION OF FIXED GENERATORS AT THE

QUAIL HOLLOW AND NEW CENTURY SEWER LIFT

STATIONS
Date: May 26, 2026
Written by: Craig Scott, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation
It is recommended the City of Cotati City Council adopt a resolution approving the purchase of two fixed diesel generators and construction contracts for installation of the generators and integration into the City’s Water SCADA system.

Background
The City has four sewer lift stations, all without backup generator power, and during power outages, Public Works staff take two towable generators between the four sites to keep the pumps running. Failure to do so would result in raw sewage spilling into the street. The Quail Hollow and New Century subdivisions are served by two of these sewer lift stations. Since the construction of the subdivisions (New Century in 1984 and Quail Hollow in 1988) until 2018, the City used one towable generator for all four sites, then, in 2018, in the aftermath of the Tubs fire, the City augmented it's one towable generator with a second.

Power outages have become more frequent, and, in 2019, the City placed a rental generator at the Quail Hollow site and that generator has been rented monthly continuously since then. In 2018, the City applied for emergency grant funds to purchase and install generators, but the application has not been approved. The City now has the opportunity to install a fixed generator at each of the Quail Hollow and New Century lift station sites and greatly improve the reliability and resilience to responding to emergency power outages.
10 of 182
Analysis/Discussion
The City has four sewer lift stations as follows: one on the West side of the freeway named Redwood Drive, and three on the North/East of the Freeway named Quail Hollow (located on Myrtle Avenue, between Keppel and Hahn), New Century (located on Eagle Drive, at the pathway to Pocket Park) and Benson Lane. During power outages, a Public Works staff person must manage the sewage depth in each of the four sewer lift station wet wells (the sewage flows into a wet well until it rises to a certain level before triggering the pump to come on) and prevent raw sewage from overflowing into the neighboring areas. At present, this is accomplished with one rental generator at Quail Hollow and the City’s two towable generators. Since there are four lift stations, a towable generator is rotated between two geographically separated lift stations.

The capacity of the wet wells makes this possible, but it requires constant monitoring during the power outage.

Fixed generators are the industry norm for sewer lift stations and have advantages of operating automatically without staff intervention when an outage occurs. At the time of a power outage, power automatically switches from PG&E to generator power, and the generator is signaled to turn on. Once on, the lift station operates normally being controlled by the local controller or “PLC” which reacts to instruments indicating the sewage level in the wet well and proper operation of the pumps.

The Quail Hollow and New Century lift stations can accommodate fixed generators because they have space on their sites and are more desired because the generators cycle more frequently.

Each lift station cycles at different rates depending on the size of the wet well and the amount of sewage flowing into the wet well. On weekends, the Redwood Drive cycles the most infrequently and the North/East lift stations more frequently.

A quote was requested from O’Rourke Electric for the Quail Hollow Lift Station. O’Rourke was asked to select and purchase the generators, then install the conduit, instrumentation, and automatic transfer switch. Because of favorable pricing, Staff then asked O’Rourke for another quote for the New Century Lift Station. The City received the separate quotes from O’Rourke Electric and finds them to be fair and reasonable and recommends both quotes for approval.

Tesco was also approached to provide a quote to integrate the new fixed generators to the City’s SCADA system. SCADA would display information including the status of PGE power, the pump status (on/off), and the run status of the generator. All this information would be accessed remotely by the system Operator. Much of the cost is for the purchase of the generator at each site and having the contractor purchase the generator reduces the chances of errors and omissions in making those orders. The City can also hold the Contractor responsible to ensure the equipment meets the contract specifications.

Financial Considerations
The City included purchasing fixed generators in its Capital Improvement Program as unfunded level B efforts for FY26/27 with a cost of $180,000. This proposed replacement project cost is as follows:
11 of 182
Quail Hollow Quote $ 74,950
New Century Quote $ 72,350
Building Permit Fees $ 4,780
Fence at New Century $ 8,160
Tesco Integration $ 20,000
Contingency $ 15,000
Total $195,240
The City’s Reserve Fund, held by the City of Santa Rosa, acting in accordance with the Subregional Wastewater Treatment Agreement, has grown to $300,292.01. To fund this project, and also return some of the excess funds, the City has requested that Santa Rosa redistribute $250,000 back to the City. With these newly identified funds, staff are proposing to amend the estimated actual budgets for FY 25/26 and the amended budget for FY 26/27 to account for $40,000 to purchase the equipment in FY 25/26 and the remaining $155,240 for installation and integration in FY 26/27. This will be included in the budget amendment agenda item at a future meeting. As such, no new funds would be required to meet the current needs of this project.

Environmental Issues
This action is found to qualify for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under CEQA Section 15301 in that the project consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of the existing or former use. 12 of 182
RESOLUTION NO. (XX)

RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COTATI APPROVING THE

PURCHASE OF TWO FIXED DIESEL GENERATORS AND CONSTRUCTION

CONTRACTS FOR INSTALLATION OF THE GENERATORS AND INTEGRATION INTO THE CITY’S WATER SCADA SYSTEM.

WHEREAS, the City has four sewer lift stations, all without backup generator power, and during power outages, Public Works staff must take its two towable generators to these sites to keep the pumps running; and
WHEREAS, the Quail Hollow and New Century subdivisions are served by two of these sewer lift stations, and, since the construction of the subdivisions (New Century in 1984 and Quail Hollow in 1988) until 2018, the City used one towable generator for all four sites, then, in 2018, in the aftermath of the Tubbs fire, the City augmented its one towable generator with a second towable generator; and
WHEREAS, power outages have become more frequent since the Tubs Fire, and, in 2019, the City placed a rental generator at the Quail Hollow site and that generator has been rented monthly continuously since then; and
WHEREAS, in 2018, the City applied for emergency grant funds from FEMA to purchase and install generators but the application was not approved, and the City now has the opportunity to install a fixed generator at each of the Quail Hollow (Myrtle Avenue, between Keppel and Hahn) and New Century (Eagle Drive at the Pocket Park pathway) lift station sites and greatly improve the reliability and resilience to responding to power outages; and WHEREAS, the City has four sewer lift stations as follows: one on the West side of the freeway named Redwood Drive, and three on the North/East of the Freeway named Quail Hollow, New Century and Benson Lane, and, during power outages, a Public Works staff person must manage the sewage depth in each of the four sewer lift station wet wells (the sewage flows into a wet well until it rises to a certain level before triggering the pump to come on) and prevent raw sewage from overflowing into the neighboring areas; and WHEREAS, at present, this is accomplished with one rental generator at Quail Hollow and the City’s two towable generators, and, since there are four lift stations, a towable generator is rotated between two geographically separated lift stations, and the capacity of the wet wells makes this possible, but it requires constant monitoring during the power outage; and WHEREAS, fixed generators are the industry norm for sewer lift stations and have advantages of operating automatically without staff intervention when an outage occurs, and, therefore, the City has had a design prepared and has received proposals to install fixed generators at two of its four lift stations; and
WHEREAS, the design includes the feature of having power automatically switching from PGE to generator power and the generator is signaled to turn on, and, once on, the lift 13 of 182
station operates normally being controlled by the local controller or “PLC” which reacts to instruments indicating the sewage level in the wet well and proper operation of the pumps; and WHEREAS, the Quail Hollow and New Century lift stations can accommodate fixed generators because they have space on their sites for a generator and these lift stations cycle more frequently; and
WHEREAS, a quote was requested of O’Rourke Electric for the Quail Hollow Lift Station, and O’Rourke was asked to select and purchase the generator then install the conduit, instrumentation and automatic transfer switch; and
WHEREAS, because of favorable pricing, Staff then asked O’Rourke for another quote for the New Century Lift Station; and

Quail Hollow Quote $74,950
New Century Quote $72,350

Fence at New Century $8,160
Tesco Integration $20,000
Contingency $15,000
Total $195,240
; and
WHEREAS, the City’s Reserve Fund, held by the City of Santa Rosa acting in accordance with the Subregional Wastewater Treatment Agreement, has grown to $300,292.01, and the City has requested $250,000 be returned; and
WHEREAS, the City’s FY25/26 - FY26/27 Budget does not account for these funds, and because of the critical nature of this project, Staff is recommending using much of these funds for fixed generators at these sites; and
WHEREAS, the returned reserve funds are to be provided to the City as a deduction from its sewer bills, therefore, Sewer Enterprise unappropriated fund balance would be preserved and would reflect an increased by the unused amount by the fixed generators; and 14 of 182
WHEREAS, this action is found to qualify for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under CEQA Section 15301 in that the project consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of the existing or former use.

Scope of Work
See attached for genertor and ATS included in this quote.

Exclusions
permits, plans, labor outside standard working hours and shifts The price is based on the approval of the generator and ATS in the following pages.

Total budget pricing:

Modify existing electrical system to the rental generator with a permanent generator and add an automatic transfer switch (ATS). The ATS is modbus compatible and installing a data line to the SCADA is included.

IT and integrating the ATS into SCADA is not included. We will provide a cat6 between the ATS and the SCADA box only.

Total budget pricing:

A maintenance plan is not included.

Key note 9 on page E-4 mentions interlocking the generator to only run when the pumps are calling to run.

This may require am external power supply or additional planning than included in this plan or in this quote.

See AIE generator quote for specific exclusions on the generator.

The generator will need to be set with a crane from a semi truck parked on the street. This should take less than one hour of work for the hoisting and setting and only a few minutes of any potential obstrcution to traffic or pedestrians. An encroachment permit is not included in this quote.

Inspections beyond a building permit included in the allowance section are estimated costs. The actual cost wont be know until the permit application is complete.

Diesel is excluded. The city will be responsible for filling the generator after the generator is set and if there is a fire marshall's test.

This generator is small enough to not need a Bay Area Air Quility Permit but those regulations are always changing.

The generator complies with CARB requirements. Any filing required by CARB is the responsibilty of the owner.

Subject: CONSIDER APPROVING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

WITH GRANITE CONSTUCTION FOR THE LA SALLE

AVENUE VALVE REPLACEMENT PROJECT
Date: May 26, 2026
Written by: Craig Scott, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation
It is recommended the City Council of the City of Cotati approve by Motion a Construction Agreement with Granite Construction for the La Salle Avenue Valve Replacement Project for an amount not to exceed $44,680 and a project contingency of $4,000 for a total project not to exceed amount of $48,680.

Background
The City owns and operates a Public Water System and performs routine operations and maintenance and completes capital projects for renewal and replacement as well as expanded system capacity. The Water System is comprised of wells, tanks, pipelines, valves, fire hydrants, and other appurtenances, all of which wear over time and require replacement. Water valves are routinely exercised and are important for isolating sections of the system for main cleaning and in the event of main breaks. One valve, located at the intersection of La Salle Avenue and Lincoln Avenue, is leaking and needs to be replaced.

Analysis/Discussion
In late summer 2025, Public Works Staff noticed water at the intersection of La Salle Avenue and Lincoln Avenue and, after investigating, determined the water was from a leaking valve. The valve was adjusted to reduce the leakage but at the tradeoff of being closed. The closed valve reduces the ability of the water system to function as intended for fire flow events and reduces redundancy needed for when other parts of the system need to be isolated for repairs. Public Works does not have the available time to perform this repair, but the project needs to move forward as the valve replacement is considered a high priority. 34 of 182
In late April 2026, the City requested and received bid proposals from two construction companies; Argonaut Constructors and Granite Construction, for the amounts of $49,500, and $44,680, respectively. Staff reviewed the low bid from Granite Construction and found it to be fair and reasonable and is recommending it for approval. If the contract is approved, there will be several weeks to process the contract, then work can begin. Work will require shutting off water service to the Olivers Shopping Center, and therefore, the contract includes the provision of performing the valve replacement at night. Work is anticipated to be conducted in June or July.

Financial Considerations
The City’s adopted FY25/26-26/27 budget does not include resources for this valve replacement as the valve began leaking following adoption of the budget. Staff is proposing reclassifying existing budgeted funds that were set for contract professional services to update the water system modeling, which totaled $60,000. The modeling will no longer occur in FY 25/26 and may be either budgeted again for FY26/27 as a standalone item or included in the Cypress Tank/Well 4 capital improvement projects. No budget amendment is proposed for council approval.

Subject: APPROVAL OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH HARRIS AND ASSOCIATES TO DESIGN THE 2026/2027

PAVEMENT PRESERVATION PROJECT
Date: May 26, 2026
Written by: Craig Scott, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation
It is recommended the City of Cotati City Council adopt a resolution approving a professional services agreement with Harris and Associates to design the 2027 Pavement Preservation Project, authorize the City Manager to execute said agreement, and adopt the corresponding budget reclassification and reduction adjustments.

Background
This design contract is intended for the scheduled street preservation project in late summer of 2026. The Project follows the recommendations of the City’s Pavement Management Program and is consistent with its recently adopted Annual and Multi-Year Capital Plans. The City is committed to investing in its roadway infrastructure and the investment focuses on lower cost slurry (i.e. street preservation) of streets in good condition. Every summer for the past several years, the City has completed street pavement preservation and/or rehabilitation projects and has significantly improved the overall condition of its streets to now have among the best roads in Sonoma County.

Analysis/Discussion
In August 2024, the City Engineering Division issued a request for qualifications, reviewed the qualifications, and City Staff determined Harris and Associates to be the most qualified for the design of pavement preservation projects. The City requested, and Harris and Associates has provided, a proposal to prepare construction plans and specifications and bidding services for the City to contract with a construction company for construction in late 2026. City Staff have reviewed the proposal and find it to be fair and reasonable. The streets identified for preservation 39 of 182
treatments this late Summer are informed by the recently completed Pavement Management Plan (PMP). This specifically includes the streets indicated in the following figure:

The Project’s preliminary schedule is to advertise for bids in August with construction to start in September or early October.

Financial Considerations
The first year of the City’s adopted FY25/26-26-27 Biannual Budget includes $100,000 for design. The proposal from Harris and Associates is $70,975 for design and $10,000 for StreetSaver and Capital Improvement Program Support Services, for a total cost of $80,975.

Staff are proposing an additional $5,000 in contract contingency for possible amendments to the design agreement/scope for a total authority within the contract not to exceed of $75,975 for the 2027 Street Project Design and $10,000 for the StreetSaver Capital Improvement Program Support Services. As such staff are proposing amending the budget to move $10,000 of the costs to the General Fund Streets Department Contract Services and reduce the capital project budget and related transfers in by $24,025. The proposed budget amendment is attached herein.

Environmental Issues
This action is found to qualify for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under CEQA Section 15301 in that the project consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or 40 of 182
topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of the existing or former use. 41 of 182

Engineering Design Services for the
2027 Pavement Preservation Project
Dear Craig:

Harris & Associates (Harris) is pleased to present this proposal for civil engineering design services for the 2027 Pavement Preservation Project as requested. The following will present an outline of our proposed scope of services. We have provided a Scope of Work Matrix in Attachment A. It is our intent that this outline provides enough detail, so our approach is clearly defined. It should be noted that this scope is based on the latest 5 Year Paving CIP Update for FY25/26 to FY30/31, corresponding with City Staff and our understanding of the project schedule (to be constructed in July 2026).

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
This project will include the preservation streets listed in YR 2027 of the current 5 Yr CIP Paving Update (dated 3/13/25).

YR 2027 estimated construction cost = $608,860
The anticipated construction budget = $750K.

There are thirteen (13) street segments that will receive slurry seal, crack seal, and base repairs (dig outs) as part of the preventative maintenance program. Fieldwork will be performed, and PS&E documents will be developed.

The following streets will be included in the project limits with approximate costs per the latest 5 Year Paving CIP Update for FY25/26 to FY30/31:

Harris will also provide updates to the 5 Year Pavement CIP report. NCE will assist us with the StreetSaver updates. We will update the existing data with recently completed streets and add FY32 and FY33 to the program. Please note that this task will extend beyond the 2027 Pavement Preservation Project completion.

PROJECT SCHEDULE
The tentative design schedule is shown below:
• May 27, 2026 – NTP (tentative)
• May 28, 2026 to May 28, 2026 – Fieldwork
• May 29, 2026 to June 9, 2026 – Prepare/Submit 90% PS&E • June 10, 2026 to June 12, 2026 – City review
• June 15, 2026 to June 19, 2026– Prepare/Submit Final PS&E • June 22, 2026 to July 13, 2026 – Advertising period (21 days) • July 28, 2026 – Council Approval to Construct / Award • August 10, 2026 – Construction start
Harris performed the fieldwork for the 2027 slurry streets during the field investigation phase of the 2026 Pavement Preservation project in May 2025 when the streets were included in the original scope. However, the 2027 slurry seal streets were later removed from the 2026 project after fieldwork was completed. Therefore, we allowed 1 day of fieldwork to revisit the streets and investigate any additional changes from the previous field visit.

The design work will be completed by June 19, 2026, and awarded on July 28, 2026. The schedule assumes 3 working days for City review of Harris deliverables. Harris will not be responsible for delays to the project schedule beyond sole control. The desired timeframe for slurry seal installation is between May and mid-October (70 degrees and rising).

PROJECT DELIVERABLES
The 90% and Final PS&E documents will include specifications, cost estimate and a set of fullsize plans in pdf format. The full-size plans will comprise of:
• Title Sheet
• Key Map that will show the treated streets (Slurry/Crack Seal) • Detail Sheet
• Detailed spreadsheet showing dig outs and quantity takeoff for each street segment 47 of 182
1401 Willow Pass Road Suite 500 Concord, CA 94520-7964 925.827.4900 f.866.356.0998 weareharris.com We will also keep a record of the digout locations painted on the streets as part of our field investigation notes in case the contractor requests a copy of them during construction.

We will provide updated StreetSaver reports as requested by the city. This will include decision tree revisions, network summary statistics, maintenance history reports, and FY32-FY33 Scenario Treatment CIP Report.

PROPOSED FEE
Please see the attached fee proposal for Harris’ level of effort (Attachment B) to execute the scope of work. The proposed fee is in the not-to-exceed total amount of $70,975. Attention is directed at the assumptions attached to this fee proposal, indicating inclusions and exclusions in developing our fee basis.

Once we receive the Notice to Proceed, the design process will begin immediately to open bids and award by late July 2026.

Please contact Luella Gabriel (925-969-8140) or Eric Smith (949-536-2508) if you have any questions regarding our proposal. We look forward to working with you again.

Cotati City Council
Agenda Staff Report
Item type: REGULAR AGENDA (ACTION)
To: City Council
Subject: DISCUSSION ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING IMPACT FEES
Date: May 26, 2026
Written by: Damien O'Bid, City Manager
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council receive a report on the affordable housing and linkage impact fee study, consider the options and provide direction to staff on policy options and fees for adoption at a future meeting.

Background
Impact fees are commonly charged on new development to ensure that the impacts created by the new development are mitigated by the development and not by existing residents. On August 12, 2025, the City was the first community in Sonoma County to adopt updated development impact fees (Resolution 2025-46) that fully conform with the latest requirements under State law (AB602). The new development impact fees were updated to be calculated by square foot of conditioned space, making them scalable to the size of the development and easy to understand.

In turn, this makes the cost of development more transparent to potential developers.

However, the affordable housing impact fee and commercial housing linkage fees were not included in the initial impact fee study and were deferred to a later time to reduce the number and types of fees that were being modified simultaneously. These fees are currently calculated through a formula based on valuation that makes the cost of this fee difficult to understand until the developer is close to construction. As currently required by the Cotati Municipal Code, all developments over 9 units must build deed restricted affordable housing, so collection of affordable housing fees only applies to small developments of 9 units or less or larger developments that can round down fractional units. The policy intent is that developments of 9 units or less, which may not be able to absorb the cost of constructing the affordable housing in their development, have a mechanism to ”fee out” through payment of the affordable housing impact fee.
60 of 182
Separately, the City currently charges a Linkage Fee for affordable housing. This fee is tied to non-residential development only and the policy intent is to require that new non-residential development contribute funds for affordable housing.

Analysis/Discussion
Maximum Affordable Housing Impact Fee
To determine the maximum allowable impact fee, the fee study aggregates household income of 100 single family owner households and 100 single family renter households who can afford housing at the market rate. This aggregate income is used as the driver of induced economic effects using the IMPLAN model. This is used to estimate the number of jobs created across income levels, as well as the corresponding number of new households.

Based on real-world cost data for affordable housing construction in Sonoma County, the cost to construct a unit of affordable housing is estimated to cost $822,182 per unit. This is based on the cost of the multi-family Saggio Hills (Healdsburg) and South Park Commons (Santa Rosa) affordable housing projects. Using the ability of rental and for sale households to afford the housing units, the total financing gap is determined (Table 1.11). The financing gap is essentially the total cost to produce the housing less the maximum amount that below market households can afford, using a benchmark 100-unit development. This assumes that renters are only paying 30% of their gross income on housing (rent and utilities) and owners are only paying 35% of their gross income on housing. Based on this, the maximum impact fee was developed as follows:
• Rental: $197 per square foot (SF)
• For sale: $193/SF
For a 902 SF prototype rental unit, this would be a nearly $178,000 impact fee per unit. The corresponding 1,654 SF prototype for-sale unit would have an impact fee over $319,000 per unit.

As this would not be financially viable for any development, it is typical that a lower fee is set by the governing body that will not prevent development but will still further the community’s affordable housing goals.

Affordable Housing Impact Fee Comparison
Based on feedback from the consultant that performed the affordable housing impact fee study, different jurisdictions universally reduce this impact fee but use a variety of methodologies or rationale to set the lower fee. These are most often based on averages of neighboring agencies, but some are flat across size ranges while others increase with larger units. The most common break point is a subdivision-sized development (5 or more units), as defined under the Subdivision Map Act. Smaller ”parcel map“ subdivisions (1-4 units) are often exempt from the affordable housing requirements. Some jurisdictions allow developers to pay fractional fees rather than rounding up when there are partial units.

A summary of neighboring inclusionary ”for sale” programs are provided below, with a more detailed table attached:

For the jurisdictions that allow for alternative methods, they are typically actions that are found to be equivalent or better by the City Council, including actions such as land donation, exchanging affordable housing credits, building second units at an alternative location, extending the term of the deed restriction, changing the mix of affordability or rehabilitating existing housing.

Cotati
In Cotati, as indicated in the table above, most residential construction must include 15% inclusionary housing. Projects with 9 or less units can pay the in-lieu fee. Inclusionary requirements are the same for both ”for-sale“ and rental projects. Unlike most other jurisdictions with a formulaic distribution of income levels, Cotati’s ordinance allows alternative mixes of affordable housing to best meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) requirement. For alternative methods, developers are allowed to build off-site, donate land, or some combination that is approved by the City Council in an affordable housing plan. The fraction of a unit, if rounded down, can be paid by the in-lieu fee. If rounded up, the developer must build the additional unit. Affordable units are typically deed restricted for a minimum of 55 years. Exceptions to these requirements include affordable housing developments, housing constructed by governmental agencies and reconstruction of housing destroyed by a natural disaster.

Potential Policy Options
62 of 182
There are several potential policy options to consider when determining the affordable housing fee. These include:
• Fee Threshold. The City currently applies the fee to residential developments, up to 9 units, and also uses it for fractional units that are rounded down. There is no distinction between for sale and rental units. Most other neighboring jurisdictions exempt small developments of up to 4 units. Some allow payment of fractional units (without rounding) and some allow payment in lieu of building the units. • Fee Amount and Structure. The City currently uses a formula based on projected sales price, which is difficult to determine by a developer and is no longer compliant with current impact fee requirements. The impact fee study has determined that a maximum of $197/SF for rental units and $193/SF for “for sale“ units. Some jurisdictions apply a flat fee per square foot and some increase the fee per square foot as the units get larger.

While it is important to recover costs created by development, it is also important to be cognizant of the total ”fee load”, such that it doesn’t inadvertently over burden the project and prevent development, resulting in no development with the associated infrastructure improvements and no fee collection.
• Alternative Methods. The City currently allows for land donations and off-site development of units, subject to City Council approval of the housing plan. Other jurisdictions allow for other alternatives, as described above.

Based on the various options and the policy goal of primarily producing inclusionary housing while still collecting in-lieu fees to support impact fee waivers and other housing programs, staff recommend the following for City Council consideration:
• Fee Thresholds. Consider setting different thresholds for rental and for sale development types. Staff have observed that multi-family rental developments under 20 units are generally built by developers that do not have the ability to establish and maintain an affordable housing program and City staff do not have the ability to effectively monitor small numbers of rental units, so the recommendation is to allow payment of the in-lieu fee or alternative methods in these cases.

The most productive housing jurisdiction in recent years is Rohnert Park, with a threshold of 50 units. However, this threshold encourages 100% affordable projects and discourages inclusionary development for all but the largest projects. Projects over 50 units are rare in Cotati, so staff were looking for a balance that would continue to encourage inclusionary development with the smaller projects typical of Cotati and also generate fees for Housing Element programs or fee backfill. Except for Healdsburg, the other jurisdictions included in the study exempt developments under 5 units. This is a policy choice, based on the limited ability of a small development to absorb the cost of the affordable units.

For sale units are typically deeded to the City and transferred to the Housing Land Trust, ensuring effective monitoring post construction without the developer needing to run the program. Therefore, the primary consideration is if the for-sale development has enough market rate units to support the cost of constructing the affordable units. While 63 of 182
no change is recommended in the threshold of 9 units on for-sale projects, the City Council could consider allowing for in-lieu payment for fractional units. Under this option, a 10 unit development would build 1 unit and pay for 0.5 units, a 14-unit development would build 2 units and pay for 0.1 units, and so forth. Currently, the City only allows payment for fractional units that round down (less than 0.5). This would still require collection of this fee at all development sizes, but would relieve some of the cost of needing to produce the fractional unit by allowing for fee payment. While this would, in theory, slightly lower the number of affordable units built over time, it would hopefully result in more projects going into construction, therefore producing more units overall and increasing the in-lieu funds collected for affordable housing programs. • Fee Amount. Set the affordable housing impact fee at a lower amount, likely in the $2-7 per square foot range (based on local averages), but with a final recommendation tied to the total fee burden for various residential development types, with the goal of encouraging development. It is not recommended to overly complicate the fee by creating tiers, as the fees will automatically adjust based on conditioned area. Based on feedback from the City Council, staff will return at a future meeting with a fee recommendation based on total fees using different project models. • Alternative Methods. It is recommended that the City Council consider expanding alternative methods to encompass any required program in the adopted Housing Element.

This would still require City Council approval in each case, but would allow for flexibility for programs such as rehabilitation and preservation of units. In this case, the costs of such a program should at least be equal to the cost of providing the units and fees, as prescribed.

Commercial Linkage Fee
The commercial linkage analysis seeks to estimate the workers associated with different types of nonresidential development across the income spectrum. These new workers will need a new home, and some of those new homes will be in the City. Some of those workers will not be able to afford market rate housing, so the commercial linkage fees calculated in the report can mitigate this impact by funding the gap between what the new workers can afford to pay for housing and the market rate cost of housing in Cotati.

Based on this analysis, the following maximum linkage fees were determined:
• Commercial: $81 per square foot
• Office: $83 per square foot
• Industrial: $37 per square foot
The existing linkage fees in Cotati are as follows:
• Commercial/Retail: $4.40 per square foot
• Office: $2.55 per square foot
64 of 182
• Industrial: $2.74 per square foot
Cloverdale, Healdsburg and Windsor do not have linkage fees. American Canyon and Rohnert Park generally charge linkage fees under $1 per square foot across the non-residential categories.

Sebastopol is generally in the $2 per square foot range, Petaluma and Santa Rosa are generally in the $3 per square foot range (except for Petaluma’s $6.19 for retail), with the Town of Sonoma charging $4 per square foot (except for no charge for industrial and $15 for hotels). Based on this review, the limited commercial space available in Cotati, the current struggle in the local retail sector, the goal of leveraging housing to encourage mixed use, as well as general economic development (new jobs and services), it is recommended that the City Council consider eliminating the commercial linkage fee, particularly for commercial and office types where a linkage fee may work against economic development goals. Additionally, in the current economy, these types of uses typically have smaller floor areas, so the linkage fee would need to be relatively high to collect any meaningful amount. While land area is relatively limited in Cotati, industrial developments generally have larger footprints, so a relatively small charge at $1/SF or less, similar to Rohnert Park, may produce a meaningful total fee to contribute to housing goals. The recommended changes would likely reduce future linkage fees collected, although non-residential development has been limited in Cotati in recent history. Ideally, the fee change will encourage commercial development of all types to generate jobs, property and other taxes, creating an overall benefit to the community.

Financial Considerations
The goal of the staff recommendations for City Council consideration is to encourage both market rate and inclusionary housing, while also generating affordable housing fees and allowing for alternative methods to meet the goals of the adopted Housing Element. If properly designed, the fee changes will encourage more housing and will generate more revenue, both for the General Fund and the Inclusionary Housing Fund. If little to no housing is created, the fees won’t be collected, so it’s important to strike the right balance and overall fee burden.

If the City Council decides to eliminate most or all of the Linkage Fees, it would reduce or eliminate this impact fee revenue, depending on the type and degree to which there is new commercial development. However, commercial development will generate jobs, property tax and potentially other taxes, depending on the use type.

Environmental Issues
Where it can be determined with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA review.

2 Executive Summary
This report documents an analysis of affordable housing impact fees needed to fund new development’s share of affordable housing induced by the household spending associated with new market rate development. It also documents a commercial linkage fee analysis which quantifies the connection between the development of nonresidential development projects and the demand for affordable housing units through an analysis of the housing needed for new employees and the ability of those employees to afford housing in the City of Cotati.

Background and Study Objectives
To adopt a development impact fee, a local jurisdiction must demonstrate the reasonable relationship (or “nexus”) between the development projects paying the fee and the fee that is charged. This nexus study quantifies the connection between the development of market rate housing and nonresidential buildings and the demand for (and pricing of) affordable housing units.

The residential nexus study examines the household income and spending generated by the new market rate households renting or buying new units in Cotati. Using the IMPLAN economic model, the household spending associated with new development is translated into new induced job growth. These induced jobs will be at various wage rates, though many induced jobs will earn lower wages. Low-wage households cannot reasonably afford to pay for market rate housing in Cotati, a housing impact fee can be justified to bridge the difference between what these new households can afford to pay and the cost to provide housing units to accommodate lower income households associated with this induced job growth.

The commercial linkage fee analysis examines the relationship between jobs created by new commercial development in the City and demand for new housing the City created by those new worker households. As with the residential fee, the analysis measures the extent to which these new worker households need assistance, or a subsidy, to afford housing in the City. Like the affordable housing impact fee, the commercial linkage fee would generate fee revenue to bridge the difference between what these new worker households can afford to pay and the cost to provide housing units to accommodate lower income households associated with the prototype development projects.

Nexus Study Conclusions
The analysis and data compiled in this report demonstrate the following:

1. Extremely Low-, Very Low-, and Low-Income households in Cotati, as defined by the 2025 HUD income limits, cannot afford market rate housing in the City. Affordable housing is defined as housing that costs 30 percent or less of gross monthly household income of each defined income category.

2. The costs to develop new, modest, rental housing are significant in Cotati and exceed the development costs that can be supported by the ongoing affordable rents.

3. Household spending by new market rate rental and for sale households will induce the creation of Extremely Low-, Very Low-, and Low-Income job-holding households that cannot afford housing at the market rate. This requires households to commute long distances from more affordable areas which puts a strain on workforce satisfaction, air quality, infrastructure, traffic and transit, and the health and safety of the City’s residents and workforce.

City of Cotati Affordable Housing and Commercial Linkage Impact Fee Study 3 4. Residents who can afford to purchase or rent new housing within the City spend a portion of their disposable income in the City. This increased spending results in the need to hire new workers to accommodate the increased demand for goods and services associated with new development and increases demand for City services.

5. Cotati is projected to generate approximately 5,600 net new jobs by buildout. Some of those jobs will be Low-Income, and Very Low-Income Jobs that cannot afford housing at the market rate.

Consequently, the analysis in this report identifies the maximum justified affordable housing impact fee that can bridge the gap between the cost of developing affordable housing and what Extremely Low-, Very Low-, and Low-Income households can afford to pay. This report also identifies the maximum justified commercial linkage fee, which bridges the difference between what these new Very Low-, and Low-Income worker households living and working in Cotati can afford to pay and the cost to provide affordable housing units.

Affordable Housing Impact Fee Schedule
The maximum justified affordable housing impact fee schedule is summarized in Table E.1. The fees shown here are the maximum supportable under state law. The City can adopt any amount up to the amounts shown here. Note that for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) impact fees can only be charged on units greater than 750 square feet in size.

Analysis
This chapter details an analysis of the need for affordable housing required to accommodate lower-income employees that support growth within Cotati. It documents a reasonable relationship between new development and a fee to fund affordable housing.

Nexus Approach
New residential development generates population growth. Residents who can afford to purchase or rent this new housing then spend their disposable income in the City. Consequently, this increased spending results in the need to hire new workers to accommodate the increased demand for goods and services associated with new development. This analysis establishes the connection between the increase in household spending associated with new development and the number of new workers that will be hired by local businesses to meet that demand.

Employment growth provides occupations at various wage and salary levels. Low wage workers cannot afford market rate housing within Cotati, so an affordable housing impact fee can be calculated to bridge the gap between what low wage workers can afford to pay for and the cost of providing that housing.

The analysis presented here defines the upper limit for a housing impact fee to be charged on new rental and for-sale housing to mitigate impacts on affordable housing needs. The maximum fee is not necessarily the recommended fee.

Housing Affordability in Cotati
This section of the chapter evaluates housing affordability in Cotati, using Department of Housing and Community Development State Income Limits and current market rate rent data.

Market Rate Rents
Willdan gathered data regarding existing market rate rents in in the Cotati/Rohnert Park housing market. The data was sourced from two primary online data sources: craigslist.com and Facebook Marketplace. This data informs the assumption of the household income necessary to rent a housing unit in Cotati at the market rate. The results of the market rate rent analysis for the first quarter of 2026 are summarized in Table 1.2.

Market Rate Housing Affordability
To evaluate housing affordability in Cotati, the analysis compares the household income at the midpoint of each income category from Table 1.1 to the market rents by number of bedrooms from Table 1.2. This analysis uses household incomes at the mid-point of each income range when calculating affordable rents as a conservative measure to avoid overstating the affordability of rental housing. In addition to rents, the analysis also includes an estimate of utility costs based on the 2025 Sonoma County Utility Allowance. The maximum affordable monthly rent including utilities for each income category is calculated as 30 percent of gross monthly household income.

If the difference between the maximum affordable rent and the total monthly housing costs is negative, then housing for that income category and housing product is considered unaffordable. 73 of 182

Table 1.4 identifies the income required to afford market rate rents in the City, by household size.

The income required to afford market rate rents assumes that 30 percent of gross income spent on housing and utility costs is considered affordable. The annual affordable housing costs are then compared to the area median income (area median income) to estimate amount of gross income above AMI that is needed to afford each product type, by household size.

City of Cotati Affordable Housing and Commercial Linkage Impact Fee Study 8 Market Rate Prototypes and Gross Income
This analysis identified two market rate residential prototypes based on a review of the housing market in Cotati.

Market Rate Rental Prototype
The data collected to identify the current effective rent in Cotati was also used to identify typical rental product characteristics. The typical rental unit in the City was a two-bedroom, onebathroom unit sized at 902 square feet. Using the current rent data, and the housing cost as percent of gross income assumptions discussed above, the amount of gross income needed to afford rent in Cotati is calculated in Table 1.5. It requires an annual gross household income of $93,160 to afford to rent a market rate rental unit in Cotati.

Market Rate For Sale Prototype
Recent housing sales data was collected from mlslistings.com from September 2025 to November 2025. This data informed the typical for sale product prototype displayed below in Table 1.6. The data indicated that the typical for sale product in Cotati was a three-bedroom, twobathroom single family home. The assumption for average sales price and square footage shown in Table 1.6 are the average for sold homes with these characteristics and exclude larger and smaller homes. The gross household income necessary to afford to purchase the prototype is then calculated using current interest rates and estimated housing ownership costs. An annual gross household income of over $183,000 is required to purchase the typical home in Cotati. 75 of 182

Induced Employment Impacts
The aggregate household income identified above is used to estimate the number of new jobs that new households will support with their household expenditures using the IMPLAN model.

IMPLAN is an input-output based economic impact model used for a variety of different analyses.

In this case IMPLAN models the economy for a region.

For this analysis, IMPLAN used data specific to Sonoma County to estimate the multipliers effects from new households. Essentially, IMPLAN used the increase in household spending associated with the new prototype households to identify the jobs (or fraction of jobs) that are supported by that spending.

The output of the IMPLAN model was then cross referenced with the assumed compensation associated with each occupation to estimate the aggregate number of jobs induced within each income category. The resulting net new jobs by income category are divided by the assumption of jobs per household to determine the number of net new worker households in Cotati induced by the household spending from market rate housing development. In Cotati there are approximately

0.95 jobs per household, as calculated from the latest 2023 American Community Survey data.

Table 1.8 shows the results of the IMPLAN analysis in terms of the induced employment and household generation supported by household spending from the gross income of 100 market rate multifamily rental households.

Table 1.9 shows the results of the IMPLAN analysis in terms of the induced employment and household generation supported by household spending from the gross income of 100 market rate single family for sale households.

Affordability Gap and Maximum Fee Calculation
The housing affordability gap is the difference between what very low, low, and moderate-income households can afford to pay for housing, and the cost to develop affordable housing units. The affordable monthly rent associated with each income level is used to estimate the monthly supportable debt per unit, which is then used to estimate the loan proceeds associated with that level of income. The loan amount is compared to the affordable unit development costs, and the difference is the financing gap per unit.

The financing gap per unit is then multiplied by the number of units induced within each income category to determine the total financing gap associated with the 100 prototype units. This figure is then divided by 100 to determine the housing fee per unit, but prototype type. The fee per unit is finally divided by the assumed prototype square footage to determine the fee per square foot.

15 2. Commercial Linkage Fee
This chapter details an analysis of the need for affordable housing required to accommodate lower-income employees associated with nonresidential development projects within Cotati. It documents a reasonable relationship between new commercial development and a commercial linkage fee to fund affordable housing for workers employed in the new business located in that development.

Nexus Approach
Cotati is projected to reach approximately 8,200 jobs by buildout per data from its General Plan EIR and the Santero Way Specific Plan Update. This represents an increase of nearly 5,600 jobs representing an increase of over 200% compared to current estimates of primary jobs in the City.

This increase in jobs will be employed in new and expanded nonresidential buildings. The analysis in this report seeks to estimate the workers associated with different types of nonresidential development across the income spectrum. These new workers will need a new home, and some of those new homes will be in the City. Some of those workers will not be able to afford market rate housing, so the commercial linkage fees calculated in this report can mitigate this impact by funding the gap between what the new workers can afford to pay for housing and the market rate cost of housing in Cotati.

For each type of commercial development, the analysis starts with a prototype and uses state and federal employment data to estimate the number and types of jobs created there and the wages associated with those jobs. By comparing the wage data with housing costs the analysis can establish a gap in affordability and can attribute it to each type of commercial development. A more detailed description of the steps of the analysis follows.

This study calculates the maximum legal fee charged on new commercial development for affordable housing in the following steps:

1. Establish commercial prototypes representing typical commercial development in Cotati. The prototypes used in this study are not intended to represent specific development projects. Instead, they represent the types of development projects that may be built in Cotati.

2. Estimate the number of workers that will work in the new commercial space. The estimated number of workers are based on occupancy density assumptions for each type of commercial development project. The employment density assumptions density factors were multiplied by the building size (100,000 square feet) to calculate the total number of workers occupying each nonresidential prototype.

3. Estimate worker household incomes. To determine the proportion of households requiring affordable housing the analysis uses local wage data associated with the industries and occupations housed within each prototype. a. National industry data is used to identify the types of businesses that could be housed in each of the nonresidential building prototypes. The occupations that work within each industry are identified based on national occupation and industry data.
b. Local wage data is used to identify the number of worker households within each income category that are generated by each nonresidential building prototype.

4. Calculate the affordability gap. Low wage worker households cannot afford market rate housing within Cotati, so a commercial linkage fee can be calculated to bridge the gap between what low wage worker households can afford to pay for and the cost of providing that housing. The housing affordability gap is defined as the difference between 82 of 182
City of Cotati Affordable Housing and Commercial Linkage Impact Fee Study 16 what extremely-low, very-low, and low-income, households can afford to pay for housing, and the cost to develop new, modest housing units.

5. Calculate maximum commercial linkage fee for each prototype. The maximum commercial linkage fee for each prototype is calculated by multiplying the total number of extremely-low, very-low, and low-income new worker households for each prototype (calculated in Step 3), by the corresponding affordable housing gap figure (calculated in Step 4). The total affordability gap was then divided by 100,000 SF, the size of each commercial prototype, to generate a maximum fee per square foot.

Commercial Prototypes
This study calculates commercial linkage fees for three types of nonresidential development projects. These nonresidential land use classifications correspond with the nonresidential land uses in the City’s development impact fee program. The prototypes are 100,000 square feet of commercial (retail, restaurant), 100,000 square feet of office, and 100,000 square feet of industrial development.

Table 2.1 displays prototype building sizes, and an estimate of net new workers per household.

This analysis establishes the number of worker households created in the City by each of the commercial development types. Data from the US Census was used to identify the share of workers for each prototype that would be housed within City limits. The resulting net new workers are divided by the assumption of jobs per household to determine the number of net new worker households in Cotati associated with each prototype. In Cotati there are approximately 0.95 jobs per household, as calculated from the latest 2023 American Community Survey data.

Based on the analysis below, a prototypical square foot 100,000 commercial retail/restaurant building would support the creation of 10.86 households in Cotati. A prototypical 100,000 square foot office building would support the creation of 16.70 households, and a prototypical 100,000 square foot industrial building would support the creation of 5.94 households in Cotati. 83 of 182

Industries
To understand what types of workers would be employed in each prototype, the next step of the analysis examines the types of industries in each prototype and what types of workers (occupations) each of those industries employs. This analysis uses the most recent available national industry data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics to identify the potential industries associated with each prototype, by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code.

NAICS is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy.

Table 2.2 through Table 2.4 identify the industries and NAICS codes associated with each prototype, respectively. Using the latest available data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, (Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, First Quarter 2025), the analysis then identifies the share of workers within each prototype that are associated with each industry. For example, in the commercial (retail, restaurant) prototype, approximately 38.6% of the jobs associated with that prototype are associated with the restaurant industry.

In the next step, the occupations associated with each industry will be used to estimate the wages of workers that may be employed within each prototype. 84 of 182

City of Cotati Affordable Housing and Commercial Linkage Impact Fee Study 21 Occupations and Wages
Once the analysis has established the industries of the new workers, the next step is to estimate their occupations and wages. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Industry-occupation matrix identifies the occupations associated with the industries that may be housed by each prototype in the preceding tables. For each industry NAICS code, the industry occupation matrix identifies the occupations that are employed within that industry by Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code. The SOC system is used by federal agencies to classify workers into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, or disseminating data. All workers can be classified into one of 867 detailed occupations. To facilitate classification, detailed occupations are combined to form 459 broad occupations, 98 minor groups, and 23 major groups.

The analysis cross referenced local wage data for Sonoma County provided by the California Employment Development Department (CA EDD) by SOC code with the identified occupations to estimate the average wages of each occupation associated with each prototype. Appendix Tables A.1 through A.3 identify several figures related to the occupations within each prototype:

1. Percent of total: The percentage of employees within each prototype by occupation.

2. Average annual wage: The average annual wage for a particular occupation. Based on local Sonoma County data where available. State of California data is used when Sonoma County data is unavailable.

3. Household income: Average annual wages are multiplied by 0.95 jobs per household to estimate the average household income associated with each occupation.

4. Net New Cotati Households: Percent of total jobs within each prototype multiplied by net new Cotati households from Table 2.1
Note that the occupations are listed because they are associated with an industry in the national data. This does not mean to imply that each occupation listed in these tables will be found in Cotati.

Worker Households by Income Category
Table 2.5 summarizes the number of new employee households living in Cotati by income category. The “Net New Cotati Households” column in Appendix Tables A.1 through A.3 is sorted by income category to identify the number of worker households employed within each prototype whose household income falls within each income category (See Table 1.1). The worker households that fall into moderate or lower median income categories drive the calculation of the commercial linkage fee for each prototype.

The affordability gap analysis from Table 1.11 in Chapter 2 is also used in the calculation of the commercial linkage fee. The net new Cotati units demanded for each prototype are multiplied by the financing gap per affordable unit and summarized across all income levels to determine the total financing gap per prototype.

Cotati City Council
Agenda Staff Report
Item type: REGULAR AGENDA (ACTION)
To: City Council
Subject: APPROVAL OF GARBAGE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT

AMENDMENT AND TERM EXTENSION WITH RECOLOGY
Date: May 26, 2026
Written by: Damien O'Bid, City Manager
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving an amended agreement and term extension with Recology for the solid waste franchise.

Background
As is common among cities in California, the City of Cotati (City) franchises the function of solid waste collection to a contractor that performs this service on behalf of the City. In Sonoma County, the cities of Cloverdale, Healdsburg, Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Cotati and Petaluma, as well as the County of Sonoma, contract with Recology Sonoma-Marin (Recology). The cities of Windsor and Sebastopol currently contract with Sonoma County Resource Recovery (SCRR).

The City of Sonoma contracts with Sonoma Garbage Collectors (SGC).

On March 27, 2013, the City Council entered into a franchise agreement with Redwood Empire Disposal, Inc. (RED), for the exclusive right to provide refuse collection, including construction and demolition debris, in the City of Cotati (City). RED was owned by the Ratto Group. On December 23, 2017, Recology Sonoma Marin (Recology) officially purchased Ratto’s assets and took over the remainder of the Franchise Agreement with the City. The City’s Franchise Agreement (Agreement) with Recology was set to expire on June 30, 2023.

On December 14, 2021, the City introduced an ordinance amending Chapter 8.08 (Solid Waste Management) to conform with the requirements of SB 1383 (Organics). This was followed by an amendment to the Agreement with Recology on June 28, 2022, in coordination with Zero Waste Sonoma, to meet the various new requirements of SB 1383. Included in this amendment was an extension of the Agreement for 5 years to June 30, 2028. 114 of 182
In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, in June 2025 Recology applied for a Detailed Rate Review (DRR), requesting a rate increase of 23.8%, which was to be effective on January 1, 2026. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, City retained R3 to review the DRR, including an analysis of Recology’s financial statements, records, and rate adjustment calculations, which identified some potential reductions to Recology’s rate adjustment request.

In initial conversations, Recology offered a reduced DRR of 20.8%. The DRR was requested due to the increased cost of operations, including the needed debt service on equipment and the new material recovery facility.

To efficiently review potential revisions to the Agreement and rate structure, the City Council appointed Vice Mayor Harvey and Councilmember Savage to an Ad Hoc committee on March 10, 2026. The initial task of the Ad Hoc was to review a proposed amendment to the Agreement, which is attached.

Analysis/Discussion
Under the current Agreement, Recology is entitled to an annual rate increase of 70% of the Bay Area consumer price index. Additionally, Recology can petition for a DRR under certain conditions, including:
• Changes in the cost due to new services or City fees. • Changes in the cost of transporting solid waste when the City requires a specified disposal facility.
• Changes in state or local fees.
• Changes in the scope of the Agreement.
• If the cost of operation exceeds gross revenue.

Given the magnitude of Recology’s requested rate adjustment (even after potential adjustments identified by R3) and given that the Agreement is set to expire in two years, on June 30, 2028, R3 advised the City to consider engaging in negotiations with Recology to reduce the amount of the rate adjustment proposed in the DRR through an extended Agreement term and potentially secure other enhancements. In addition to mitigating rate shocks, City staff were also interested in providing long-term rate stability for customers. This meant moving away from the 70% of CPI and DRR arrangement, which in practice creates large rate changes for customers every 3-5 years.

Franchise Agreement Amendment
As is outlined in the proposed amendment, the primary terms are:
• 10 year extension, from 2028 to 2038, to go into effect on June 1, 2026. • Setting the first 5 years of rates at 9%, 8%, 7%, 6% and 6%. • Future years are based on 100% of CPI + 1%, but with a rate cap of 5%. • Extraordinary adjustments (aka DRR) are limited to a maximum of 2 over the term of the agreement and can only be requested for a change in law or other major unexpected change that materially increases on-going operational expenses. This explicitly excludes changes due to collective bargaining agreements, equipment purchases, or other reasonably anticipated items.
115 of 182
The proposed amendment also includes a whereas clause to indicate the mutual interest of both parties to continue discussions regarding mutually agreed upon modifications to the Agreement over the next year. Modifications are anticipated to be consolidating the amendments into a single agreement, cleaning up old language that is no longer applicable and potentially reviewing different rate design options. Therefore, if the City Council approves the attached amendment, the Ad Hoc would need to continue to meet over at least the next several months to discuss these additional edits or a restatement of the Agreement, as well as potential rate design options.

Financial Considerations
Recology customers in Cotati would see the noted rate changes, but at a much more smoothed rate over a longer period of time than if the requested DRR was implemented. R3 modeled the different potential scenarios, including the current agreement if it was simply extended with the offered 20.8% DRR in 2026. This scenario used the current year CPI and a conservative assumption of another DRR in 2032. The proposed agreement was also modeled, assuming the maximum CPI increase of 5% in future years, but no DRR. Under these assumptions, customers would see rate savings each year, as well as substantial rate savings over the term of the agreement and both the City and Recology would benefit from stable, predicable costs.

City staff and R3 also discussed the option of proceeding with the DRR in 2026 and putting the Agreement out to an RFP. Recology has performed well under the current Agreement, based on the relatively minimal number of complaints received by the City. Financially, based on the recent outcomes in other Sonoma County jurisdictions, it was staffs‘ determination that this approach is not likely to lower rates for customers and may result in higher rates for customers.

It would also take a significant amount of staff time for what is most likely minimal or no resident benefit, as well as being disruptive to customers if the franchise were to change over to a new contractor.

The City also requested costs on an electric collection truck. However, this increased costs by about $2M over the term of the agreement when compared to the proposed agreement, so was not recommended for City Council consideration at this time.

This general rule can be applied to activities which could be subject to the CEQA process, but which logic dictates should not be subject to CEQA review. Therefore, based on the information provided above, the proposed resolution is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 14.03.021 of the CEQA Guidelines in that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant impact on the environment.

On June 27, 2025, Recology Sonoma Marin (Recology) formally requested a detailed rate review (DRR) to the City of Cotati that would increase solid waste collection service rates as outlined in Section 6 of the Franchise Agreement (Agreement) between the City and Recology. The effective date of the increase would have been January 1, 2026. The initial requested rate increase was

23.8%, or a 34.7% increase if Recology were to purchase an electric solid waste collection vehicle for dedicated service within Cotati City limits.

R3 Consulting Group, Inc. (R3) was engaged by the City to conduct a thorough review and analysis of Recology’s DRR request. R3 reviewed and completed our analysis of Recology’s financial statements, records, and rate adjustment calculations, which identified potential reductions to Recology’s rate adjustment request.

Given that magnitude of Recology’s requested rate adjustment (even after adjustments identified by R3) and further given that the Agreement is set to expire in just over two years, on June 30, 2028, R3 advised the City to consider engaging in negotiations with Recology to reduce the amount of rate adjustment, extend the term of the Agreement, and secure other enhancements.

After a series of constructive negotiations with Recology, an amendment to the Agreement (Amendment) was drafted to detail the negotiated outcomes and to clarify and improve existing contract language. Following potential City Council adoption of the proposed Amendment, the City and Recology intend to develop an amended and restated Agreement in late 2026 or early 2027 that will update other terms and conditions of the Agreement.

Negotiation Outcomes
City staff entered into negotiations with Recology with a goal of a lower rate adjustment in 2026 and more predictable future rate adjustments. City staff, with the support of R3, negotiated with Recology to achieve mutual agreement on terms and conditions resulting in beneficial outcomes including:
》 A lower 9% rate adjustment effective June 1, 2026 (rather than a 23.8% adjustment effective January 1, 2026).
》 Fixed increases of 8% on January 1, 2027, 7% on January 1, 2028, 6% on January 1, 2029, and 6% on January 1, 2030.

》 A revised rate adjustment methodology to support more predictability and costeffectiveness in solid waste rates, including:
o Removal of the existing periodic and hard-to-predict DRR methodology. o Starting January 1, 2031, adjusting the annual Refuse Rate Index (RRI) to use 100% of CPI (rather than the existing 70% of CPI) and add 1% to the RRI result, with a cap that sets a maximum allowable annual rate increase of 5%. o Allowing Recology to request extraordinary adjustments for extenuating circumstances a maximum of twice during the extended term for unforeseen events such as legislative changes but not including changes in labor costs or equipment purchases.
》 Extension of the Agreement through June 30, 2038, which is a ten-year extension past the existing expiration date of June 30, 2028, with an option for an additional five year extension upon mutual agreement.

Without this extension, the City would need to initiate a process to secure solid waste services effective July 1, 2028, after the expiration of the existing term. Such a process should conclude no later than June 2027 (to allow for a recommended 1-year transition period) and typically takes nine to twelve months to complete. Therefore, if the City does not approve the proposed Amendment, R3 recommends that the City immediately initiate a competitive request for proposals (RFP) process.
》 A commitment to amended and restate the Agreement in the near future and to include updates to City programs and services, including the level of services for City events.

R3 and City staff thoroughly evaluated the financial implications of the negotiated outcome in comparison to the original DRR request, including projections of future rate adjustments under the status quo and the new rate adjustment terms. R3 found that the negotiated stepped-in rate adjustments are more favorable to the City’s ratepayers in the near-term and also for the projected future term of the extended agreement.

Recommendation
R3 thoroughly reviewed the negotiated terms in the proposed Amendment and has conducted financial analysis of projected rate increases. The negotiated outcome benefits Cotati ratepayers by keeping rates lower than would normally be necessary to fund the costs of providing solid waste services including a reasonable profit to Recology in the near term and over the life of the proposed extension to the Agreement.

Annual adjustments to solid waste rates in the future (starting in 2031) will include an additional 1% in order to allow Recology to adequately fund the cost of providing services without the need for periodic detailed rate reviews of their costs, which regularly result in double-digit increases in rates.

This additional 1% adjustment to RRI is fair and reasonable to allow Recology to recover revenues sufficient to meet the projected costs of providing service plus a reasonable profit over the life of the extended Agreement.

PROCESSING OF SOLID WASTE, RECYCLABLES, AND COMPOSTABLE MATERIALS AND RELATED ACTIVITIES PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 8.08 OF THE

COTATI MUNICIPAL CODE
This Second Amendment to Franchise Agreement for Collection, Disposal, and Processing of Solid Waste, Recyclables, and Compostable Materials and Related Activities Pursuant to Chapter

8.08 of the Cotati Municipal Code (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of _________, 2026 between the City of Cotati (“City”) and Recology Sonoma Marin (“Recology”).

WHEREAS, City and Recology are parties to a Franchise Agreement for Collection, Disposal, and Processing of Solid Waste, Recyclables, and Compostable Materials and Related Activities Pursuant to Chapter 8.08 of the Cotati Municipal Code, dated April 10, 2013 (such agreement as amended, the “Agreement” or “Franchise Agreement”);

To that end, Section 1.32 (“Franchise term”) of the Franchise Agreement, and the first paragraph of Section 3.2 (“Term”) of the Franchise Agreement, are each hereby amended to replace “2028” with “2038.”

3. Maximum Rates. Section 6 of the Franchise Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:
“SECTION 6 — MAXIMUM RATES

6.1 Customer Rate
Upon this Franchise Agreement taking effect and until Maximum Rates are adjusted in accordance with this Agreement, the Maximum Rates that the Contractor may impose on customers for performance of Franchise services shall be as specified in Exhibit D. Whenever Maximum Rates are adjusted in accordance with this Agreement, Exhibit D shall be deemed automatically updated to reflect such adjustment. Charges Contractor may impose on Customers may equal, but not exceed the rates specified in Exhibit D. The rate categories specified in Exhibit D are the only categories of charges Contractor may impose on customers, and the proceeds from charges imposed by Contractor are the sole compensation Contractor is permitted to receive for performance of Franchise services. If one or more Customers request a service for which there is no rate in Exhibit D, the City Manager may approve a rate for the service in writing. 123 of 182
2 6.2 Adjustments to Contractor’s Maximum Rates

6.2.1 The then effective Maximum Rates shall automatically be increased June 1, 2026, January 1, 2027, January 1, 2028, January 1, 2029, and January 1, 2030 as follows:

Effective Date of Adjustment to
Maximum Rates
Percentage Increase to Each
Maximum Rate
June 1, 2026 Pre-negotiated; rates effective June 1,
2026 are set forth on Exhibit D
January 1, 2027 Eight (8) Percent
January 1, 2028 Seven (7) Percent
January 1, 2029 Six (6) Percent
January 1, 2030 Six (6) Percent

6.2.2 Beginning January 1, 2031, the then applicable Maximum Rates shall be adjusted automatically as follows:

No later than October 1, 2030 and each October 1 of each year thereafter during the Term, Contractor shall submit a written application to the City setting forth the calculation of the adjustment in Contractor’s Maximum Rates pursuant to this Section 6.2.2 to become effective the subsequent January 1. City shall review the application for accuracy by December 1 of each year.

The adjustment in rates which shall take effect on each January 1 thereafter shall be a percentage applied to each category of rates in effect for the year ending on the preceding December 31. The adjustment in Maximum Rates shall be the aggregate of the two adjustments set forth below:
(1) The Collection Element of each rate shall be adjusted by one hundred percent (100%) of the annual change in the Consumer Price Index, All items in San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA, all urban consumers, not seasonally adjusted, Series ID: CUURS49BSA0, published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, hereinafter referred to as CPI, measured for the previous twelve (12) months ending June of each year, plus an additional one percent (1%) applied as a percentage collection component of the current monthly. For example, if the annual change in the Consumer Price Index is 3%, the Collection Element shall be increased by 4%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the annual change under this paragraph shall not exceed five percent (5%).
(2) The Disposal Element of each rate shall be adjusted by the percentage change in the per ton tip fee at the Approved Disposal Facility between the prior preceding calendar year ending April 30 and the preceding calendar year ending April 30 as applied to disposal element of the current rate.
124 of 182
3 .

Beginning in 2031, maximum Rates for special charges or any other rates where there is no separate Collection Element and Disposal Element shall be adjusted by one hundred percent (100%) of the annual change in CPI, plus one percent (1%), not to exceed the total rate adjustment of five percent (5%).

6.3 Extraordinary Adjustments
Contractor and City acknowledge that there may be infrequent extraordinary events which, although they do not prevent either party from performing, and thus do not implicate the force majeure provisions hereof, nevertheless increase the cost of providing services above the adjustments to Maximum Rates set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2. The obligation of the parties in such event is to act reasonably and in good faith towards each other in arriving at an appropriate adjustment in rates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Accordingly, at its option, Contractor may apply to the City for an extraordinary rate adjustment should an event or circumstance arise which materially increases Contractor’s costs of performing this Agreement in excess of the rate adjustment resulting from the application of Section 6.1 or 6.2. An extraordinary adjustment in rates will be deemed justified if there is a change in law or other major changes that materially increase on-going operational costs that are unexpected and outside of the Contractor’s control. However, changes in labor costs due to collective bargaining agreement negotiations or equipment purchases (other than those resulting from a change in law) do not qualify as justification for an extraordinary adjustment.

If an extraordinary adjustment is found to be justified, Contractor will be entitled to an equitable adjustment of the rates as a result of the extraordinary event, however no adjustment will be effective until after approval by the City Council as set forth below.

Extraordinary rate adjustments shall only be effective after approval by the City Council. Contractor applications for extraordinary rate adjustments are limited to two (2) during the initial Agreement term (ending June 30, 2038). Except as provided herein, any such change approved by the City shall not be implemented until January 1 of the following year unless a different timeframe is approved by the City Council. Applications for extraordinary rate adjustments are due a minimum of six months prior to requested effectiveness date. City and Contractor will cooperate in good faith and use reasonable efforts to review and process Contractor’s applications and submit them to the City Council (assuming they are sufficiently justified according to the terms of this Agreement) within such sixmonth period.

For each request brought pursuant to this section, Contractor must prepare a schedule documenting the extraordinary costs. Such request must be prepared in a form acceptable to City with support for assumptions made by Contractor in preparing the estimate. City may request from Contractor further information, as it deems necessary to fully evaluate the request and make its determination. City is entitled to a reimbursement of its costs in reviewing a request for an extraordinary 125 of 182
4 adjustment, which shall be subject to a not-to-exceed amount agreed upon in advance and recoverable by Contractor as part of the extraordinary adjustment.

City will review Contractor’s request and, in City’s reasonable judgment, make the final determination as to whether an adjustment will be made, and, if an adjustment is permitted, the appropriate amount of the adjustment, all of which shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

Assuming that Contractor provides sufficient justification for the extraordinary rate adjustment according to the terms of this Agreement, the amount of the adjustment shall be sufficient to cover Contractor’s reasonable increased costs resulting from the extraordinary event, plus profit calculated in accordance with the subsequent paragraph, from the time of the extraordinary event began to affect Contractor’s costs to the end of the Agreement term.

The Parties stipulate that a fair and reasonable profit calculation shall apply in the event of an Extraordinary Adjustment pursuant to this section. The rates following an Extraordinary Adjustment application are established to allow the Contractor to realize (but not to guarantee) a fair and reasonable profit from its operations (net of franchise and other fees, in accordance with the Agreement) within the franchise area. Profit shall be the result of taking the sum of the actual necessary and reasonable costs of providing service to the franchise area, subtracting the fees paid by Contractor pursuant to Article 7, dividing the result by 0.90, and subtracting from the quotient the actual necessary and reasonable costs of providing service to the franchise area, less the fees set forth in Article 7. For example: if the actual necessary and reasonable costs of providing service to the franchise area is $950,000 and Article 7 fees are $50,000, then the profit equals, ($950,000- $50,000)/0.90] - ($950,000-$50,000) = $100,000. The Contractor's actual, necessary and reasonable costs of providing service to the franchise area include the actual, necessary and reasonable costs incurred by the Contractor in providing services which the Contractor is obligated hereunder to provide at no cost to its customers.”

4. Maximum Rates. Exhibit D of the Agreement is hereby replaced with Exhibit D attached hereto.

5. Deletion of Detailed Rate Review Methodology. Exhibit L of the Agreement (Detailed Rate Review Methodology) is hereby deleted in its entirety.

6. Miscellaneous. In the event of any conflict between this Amendment and the Agreement, this Amendment shall govern. Section headings in this Amendment are for convenience only and shall not be used in the interpretation of this Amendment. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts and/or by electronic signature (e.g. DocuSign). As used in this Amendment, “including” and its variants mean “including without limitation.” [Remainder of this page intentionally left blank]
