AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 10
Meeting: March 19, 2024
Title: Award of Contract to Waterline Technologies, Inc. for the Replacement of the Training Pool Heater at the Covina Park Aquatic Center
Presented by: Andy Bullington, Director of Public Works Recommendation: Award a contract for the Covina Park Aquatic Center Training Pool Heater Replacement to Waterline Technologies, Inc in the amount of $43,673.22 and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Covina Park’s Aquatic Center hosts residents of all ages for various events, lessons, recreation, and local school competitions. Due to the high volume of usage, it is necessary to ensure equipment is fully functional and current so as to meet this demand. The heater at the Competition Pool was replaced a few years ago and the useful life of the Training Pool heater has reached the end and now requires replacement as well. With 2024 recreation classes beginning in the Spring, the Department of Public Works is prioritizing completion of the heater replacement to provide improved service year-round at the Aquatic Center.

BACKGROUND:

The existing heater at the Aquatic Center’s Training Pool is approximately 30 years old. The model is no longer energy efficient, resulting in higher energy usage and costs as compared to the newer model at the Competition Pool. Furthermore, replacement parts for the existing unit are difficult and expensive to source. The replacement energy-efficient heater will be consistent with the model at the Competition Pool, alleviating excessive energy costs and the need to special order scarce replacement parts. The approximate useful life of the new heater system is 15 years.

DISCUSSION:

The Department of Public Works requested informal proposals from three companies specializing in the required scope of work. City staff received three (3) proposals as follows:

Rank Consultant Location Cost
1 Waterline Technologies, Inc. Santa Ana, CA $43,673.22 2 Southern California Pools Northridge, CA No Response
3 Caliber Commercial Pools Azusa, CA No Response
Staff reviewed the proposals received as well as the consultants’ background for competency and ability to complete projects in a time-sensitive manner. Staff determined that Waterline Technologies, Inc. is the successful low bidder pursuant to completing similar projects for other public and private agencies.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Sufficient funding is available within the Building Maintenance Fund (Account No. 70206100-52400) as part of the City’s approved Fiscal Year 2023-2024 operating budget.

Page 197 of 823 ends

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

This project has been determined to be categorically exempt under CEQA in accordance with Title 14, Chapter 3, Class 1, Sections 15301 and 15302. This exemption includes the minor alteration of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination.

The project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use.

CC Regular Meeting

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 11
Meeting: March 19, 2024
Title: Lease and Ongoing Maintenance of three (3) 2024 Toyota Camry LE Hybrid Vehicles for the Covina Police Department
Presented by: Andy Bullington, Director of Public Works Recommendation: 1. Approve the leasing and ongoing maintenance of three (3) 2024 Toyota Camry LE Hybrid Vehicles allocated for the Covina Police Department for a five-year term in the amount of $103,500; and2. Authorize the City Manager, or their designee, to execute all necessary documents with Enterprise Fleet Management, Inc. using the Sourcewell Competitive Purchasing Program (Contract #06061800-EFM).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City’s fleet is comprised of approximately 200 vehicle and equipment units utilized to provide Public Safety, Parks and Recreation and Public Works services citywide. The Department of Public Works’ Fleet Maintenance Division oversees all maintenance, purchasing and greening of the City’s fleet in close cooperation with various City departments. To ensure that the City’s fleet is well-maintained, fuel efficient and safe, City staff relies on a replacement methodology for fleet assets that evaluates specific criteria including useful life, mileage and repair/maintenance history in order to identify vehicle replacement schedules that better suit department needs while complying with the City Council’s green energy goals.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

In October 2019, the City Council approved the Pilot Vehicle Leasing and Maintenance Program for the City of Covina through Enterprise Fleet Management, Inc. (EFM). Under this program, the City could lease up to four (4) vehicles scheduled for replacement. The pilot program provided the City with the opportunity to evaluate an alternative fleet procurement method that may provide long-term cost savings and additional equity upon resale.

Pursuant to discussions between the Police Department and the Department of Public Works, the lease and ongoing maintenance of three (3) 2024 Toyota Camry LE Hybrid vehicles was the best option for the Police Department’s fleet rather than completing a full replacement of existing vehicles that have reached the end of their useful life. Leasing and maintenance costs for said vehicles are described in the table below and individual quotes for the vehicles are included in Attachment A.

CC Regular Meeting

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 12
Meeting: March 19, 2024
Title: Award of Contract to Control Air Enterprises LLC for HVAC Repairs at the Covina Senior & Community Center
Presented by: Andy Bullington, Director of Public Works Recommendation: Award a contract for the Covina Senior & Community Center HVAC Repair Project to Control Air Enterprises LLC in the amount of $37,837.00 and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/BACKGROUND:

The Department of Public Works recently determined that it is necessary to replace the secondary compressor units that serve the heating ventilation and cooling system (HVAC) at the Covina Senior & Community Center.

Over time, these secondary compressors have begun to experience system failures with the most recent occasion occurring in January of this year – leaving the primary compressors operating without a reliable backup system in place. During this time, the primary units have been placed under unique stress to keep up with the system’s load demand. As such, replacing the secondary units will return the system to its full functionality in advance of the upcoming summer months when the facility serves as a cooling center for the community.

DISCUSSION:

The Department of Public Works requested informal proposals from three (3) HVAC firms specializing in the required scope of work. City staff received the following three proposals:

Rank Consultant Location Cost
1 Control Air Enterprises LLC Anaheim, CA $37,837.00
2 Air On-Time, Co. Covina, CA No Response
3 Air Bree Heating & Air Conditioning La Puente, CA No Response Staff reviewed the proposals received as well as the consultants’ background for competency and ability to complete repairs in a time-sensitive manner. Staff determined that Control Air Enterprises LLC is the successful low bidder pursuant to similar scopes of work completed for other private and public agencies, including the City of Covina.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Sufficient funding is available within the Building Maintenance Fund (Account No. 70206100-52400) as part of the City’s approved Fiscal Year 2023-2024 operating budget.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

This project has been determined to be categorically exempt under CEQA in accordance with Title 14, Chapter 3, Class 1, Sections 15301 and 15302. This exemption includes the minor alteration of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination.

The project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use.

PROPOSAL FOR SERVICES:

LG Rooftop Units - Replace Compressors and Inverter Boards COMPANY: CITY OF COVINA - SENIOR & COMMUNITY CENTER
PROJECT: LG Rooftop Units - Replace Compressors and Inverter Boards PROJECT LOCATION: 815 BARRANCA AVE, COVINA, CA 91723
During the recent service visit for your VRF system we found the following; The technician arrived to the VRF condensers and found both Master and Slave in alarm. The tech began troubleshooting the Slave unit and found Circuit 1’s compressor failed. The Master unit was then tested and found Circuit 2’s compressor failed, as well. Currently, the system is operational but at a diminished capacity. We suspect one compressor failed, burnt out, possibly causing the second compressor to fail in the same fashion. This repair does require a sense of urgency so that if there is burnt refrigerant in the system, it does not cause further failures.

As part of this proposal and repair, we will test the refrigerant upon removal. If the refrigerant is found to be burnt, we will flush the system and charge up the unit with 110 pounds of new R-410a refrigerant. New refrigerant is included as a separate cost but only if required.

This repair requires trained LG VRF technicians so the refrigerant charge is calculated and charged correctly. Our proposal does include calculation and weigh-in of refrigerant charge for proper system operations.

All work performed as part of this proposal does include a one-year warranty on all parts and labor, pending proper maintenance performed by Control Air.

CC Regular Meeting

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 13
Meeting: March 19, 2024
Title: SB 341 Compliance Report on the Housing Successor Agency Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund
Presented by: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Director of Community Development Recommendation: Receive and file the report.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On January 1, 2014, Senate Bill 341 (SB 341) became effective, requiring each housing successor agency that assumed the housing functions of a former redevelopment agency to post a report on its website containing information regarding the Housing Successor Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund (Fund) for the previous fiscal year.

The reporting requirements have been amended twice. In 2015, Assembly Bill 1793 (Chapter 672, Statutes of 2014, effective January 2015) amended Health & Safety Code Section 34176.1(f) to add new provisions now numbered as 34176.1(f)(13)(A)-(D). In 2016, Senate Bill 107 (Chapter 325, Statutes of 2015, effective January 2016) amended Health & Safety Code Section 34176.1(f) to add a new reporting item number 1 and revise reporting item number 2. The reporting requirements are attached as Attachment A.

In addition, the housing successor agency is required to conduct and provide an independent financial audit of the Fund within six months of the end of the fiscal year. The audit may be included as part of the City’s independent financial audit.

DISCUSSION:

An independent financial audit of the Fund was provided to the Covina City Council on February 6, 2024, and by memo to the Covina Housing Authority Board to follow. The financial audit is included as part of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and is posted on the City’s website at www.covinaca.gov.

The Covina Housing Authority SB 341 Compliance Report (Report) is attached as Attachment B. The Report includes specified housing financial and activity information and will be submitted as an addendum to the Annual Progress Report (APR) which is submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) pursuant to State housing law, by April 1.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

This activity will not result in a reasonably foreseeable change to the physical environment; it is exempt from CEQA under State CEQA Guidelines 15061 (b) (3) and does not constitute a project.

2016 Change to Annual Report Requirements for Housing Successors to Redevelopment Agencies Senate Bill 107 (Chapter 325, Statutes of 2015, effective January 2016) amended Health & Safety Code Section 34176.1(f) to add a new reporting item (number 1) and revise reporting item 2.

HCD Note: SB 107 amendments are reflected in red. When new requirements are imposed that an agency cannot typically meet in the same calendar or fiscal year in which the statutory change took effect (e.g. year 2016 for SB 107) for good cause (e.g. additional time and/or resources are needed to comply with new requirements), HCD’s practice is that the agency compliance due date can fall in the next calendar or fiscal year (e.g. year 2017) following the year the statutory change took effect.

Successor Entity Reporting
Senate Bill 341 (Chapter 796, Statutes of 2013) previously amended Health & Safety Code Section 34176 to address particular provisions and functions relating to former “redevelopment agencies” and new “housing successor” entities allowed to elect and assume particular functions of redevelopment agencies (RDAs) dissolved in 2012. A housing successor entity can include a local Public Housing Authority when a city or county elects not to become the housing successor entity.

SB 341 eliminated the former redevelopment agency annual report requirement due to both the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and State Controller while RDAs were active.

All successor housing entities, starting with the FY ending in 2014, are required to comply with different annual report requirements within six months after the end of each fiscal year (FY). One requirement is to provide an independent financial audit to the legislative body. Another requirement is for a city or county housing successor to report housing financial and activity information by:
(1) including specified information with the housing element Annual Progress Report (APR) required to be annually submitted to HCD by April 1 pursuant to State housing law in reporting progress in implementing the housing element. (NOTE: Successor entity reporting data required to included with APR can be a paper report identified as an addendum to the APR. The separate housing fund data report can be attached to the APR or sent separately to HCD) and
(2) posting specified information on the jurisdiction’s website.

Following are current annual report requirements last amended in 2015 described in H&SC section 34176.1 beginning with subsection (f) [note: reference to Section 33080.1 relates to former RDAs]:

H&SC 34176.1:
(f) Section 33080.1 of this code and Section 12463.3 of the Government Code shall not apply. Instead, the housing successor shall conduct, and shall provide to its governing body, an independent financial audit of the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund within six months after the end of each fiscal year, which may be included in the independent financial audit of the host jurisdiction. If the housing successor is a city or county, it shall also include in its report pursuant to Section 65400 of the Government Code and post on its Internet Web site all of the following information for the previous fiscal year. If the housing successor is not a city or county, it shall also provide to its governing body and post on its Internet Web site all of the following information for the previous fiscal year:
(1) The amount the city, county, or city and county received pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 34191.4.

(3) A statement of the balance in the fund as of the close of the fiscal year, distinguishing any amounts held for items listed on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule from other amounts.

The percentage of units of deed-restricted rental housing restricted to seniors and assisted individually or jointly by the housing successor, its former redevelopment agency, and its host jurisdiction within the previous 10 years in relation to the aggregate number of units of deed-restricted rental housing assisted individually or jointly by the housing successor, its former redevelopment agency, and its host jurisdiction within the same time period. If this percentage exceeds 50%, then the Housing Successor cannot expend future funds in the LMIHAF to assist additional senior housing units until the Housing Successor or City assists and construction has commenced on a number of restricted rental units that is equal to 50% of the total amount of deed-restricted rental units.

For this report, the ten-year period reviewed is July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2023.

surplus.

Excess Surplus calculations were once performed by redevelopment agencies on an annual basis, and were intended to ensure that funds were expended to benefit low and moderate-income households in an expeditious manner. SB 341 reinstates this calculation for housing successors. Excess Surplus is defined by Health and Safety Code Section 34176.1(d) as an unencumbered amount in the account that exceeds the greater of one million dollars ($1,000,000) or the aggregate amount deposited into the account during the Housing Successor’s preceding four fiscal years, whichever is greater.

The four fiscal years preceding the fiscal year for which the excess surplus is being calculated is included in the calculation below.

Excess Surplus Test for FY 2022-2023:

Fund Balance – as of 6-30-2023 $3,434,992.65
Less unavailable funds* – as of 6-30-2023 $908,346.02

The excess surplus calculated for each fiscal year is required to be encumbered within three (3) years from the end of that fiscal year by the Housing Successor on eligible activities which provide affordable housing for households at or below low

Page 277 of 823 ends

income. Eligible activities include new construction, acquisition, substantial rehabilitation, and preservation of affordability. Any amount of excess surplus not encumbered within the three-year period required by the Dissolution Law must be remitted to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”), or transferred to another housing successor.

As the general purpose of the excess surplus calculation is to ensure that money is expended for low-income purposes, the best action for the Housing Successor is to expeditiously encumber or expend money currently on deposit. The Housing Authority is presently negotiating for a property which will involve the use of Housing Authority funds.

13. HOMEOWNERSHIP
An inventory of homeownership units assisted by the former redevelopment agency or the housing successor that are subject to covenants or restrictions or to an adopted program that protects the former redevelopment agency’s investment of moneys from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 33334.3.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 14
Meeting: March 19, 2024
Title: 2023 Annual Housing Element Progress Report
Presented by: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Director of Community Development Recommendation: Receive and file.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

State law requires each city to prepare and file Annual Progress Reports (APRs) with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) describing housing production and the status of Housing Element program implementation. APRs must be prepared using the format established by HCD. Attached for City Council information is the Housing Element APR for calendar year 2023 (Attachment A).

FISCAL IMPACT:

Preparation of APRs is required by State law but no State funding is provided; therefore, it is an unfunded mandate. The City collects a fee on building permits to defray the cost of maintaining the General Plan, which includes preparation of APRs.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

Preparation of the APR is not a project subject to CEQA (Cal. Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.).

Meeting: March 19, 2024
Title: Escheatment of Unclaimed Funds to the City of Covina in Accordance with the Escheat of Unclaimed Property Policy
Presented by: Anita Agramonte, Administrative Services Director Charles Russom, Management Analyst
Recommendation: Authorize staff to pursue the escheatment of unclaimed funds to the City in the amount of $52,646.34 and approve the transfer of any available funds remaining unclaimed to be recognized as revenue in the General Fund in accordance with the Escheat of Unclaimed Property Policy.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On December 18, 2018, an updated Escheat of Unclaimed Property policy was adopted and approved by the City Council establishing a uniform and cost-effective method for the treatment of abandoned or unclaimed money in the City’s procession consistent with California Government Code Sections 50050 through 50056. Furthermore, on June 17, 2014 Resolution 14-7255 was adopted establishing Policy and Procedures for allowance and write off of uncollectible accounts. Accordingly, staff has reviewed the unclaimed funds presented in Attachments A and B, and recommends escheating the funds to the City in accordance with the policy.

BACKGROUND:

Each year the City of Covina routinely issues checks for vendor payments and various types of refunds. The City accumulates outstanding checks that remain unclaimed, although attempts are made to contact payees in order to reissue the checks. Additionally, monies have accumulated in the Police Department Found Property and Safekeeping fund that result from various Police Department activities and have remained unclaimed and can become the City’s property. Furthermore, staff annually reviews accounts receivable balances and assess collectability to ensure City assets are not overstated.

DISCUSSION:

Stale- Dated Checks, Deposits and Refunds:

Section 50050 of the California Government Code states that monies that are not property of the City with an individual amount of $15 or more, and more than (3) years old may become property of the City of Covina following publication in a newspaper of general circulation published in the local agency by the Treasurer once a week for two successive weeks. As of December 31, 2023, the City held a total amount of $52,369.97 as detailed in Attachment A. The total amount includes water refunds in the amount of $5,052.17, as well as stale dated checks totaling $8,370.83. Additionally, the Police Evidence Reserve fund has $38,946.97 in unclaimed monies pertaining to Police Evidence and Found Property/Safekeeping cases. These funds accumulate as a result of various Police Department operational activities including processing of evidence and found property. These monies also meet the criteria under Section 50050, and are illustrated in Attachment A and can be escheated.

Notice will be published once a week for two consecutive weeks beginning on March 28, 2024, and April 4, 2024, in the San Gabriel Valley Examiner. All valid claims received by the filing deadline of May 9, 2024, will be processed within sixty days. Amounts subject to California Government Code Section 50050 totaling $52,369.97 (less any valid claims), will be recognized as revenue in the General Fund of the City on May 16, 2024, not less than forty-five (45) days; nor more than sixty (60) days after the first publication of the notice.

Page 321 of 823 ends

Furthermore, Section 50055 of the California Government Code states that monies that are not property of the City and are more than (1) year old and less than $15, may be transferred by the City’s legislative body to the General Fund without public notice in a newspaper. The City’s general ledger shows unclaimed refunds with an individual amount of less than $15 that are twelve months or older totaling $276.37 (Attachment B). Upon approval of the City Council, these funds may be transferred to the General Fund and recognized as revenues.

Instructions for claiming unclaimed property have been posted on the Covina City Hall bulletin board located at 125 E. College St, Covina, CA 91723. The Claim for Unclaimed Property form has also been placed in the Covina City Clerk’s office and can be completed with proper supporting documentation and can be mailed to or dropped off at the Administrative Services Department – Finance Division of Covina City Hall. These documents are attached hereto as Attachment C & D respectively.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon completion of the noticing and escheatment protocols, any remaining unclaimed funds, up to the amount of $52,646.34, will be recognized in the General Fund – Other Revenue Account 1010-0000-48990.

Proof of authority can be, for example, but is not limited to, a signed letter from the owner or CEO o f the company on company letterhead.

5.

STAFF SOURCE: Dilu De Alwis, Finance Director Ufr
Tricia Cole, Finance Manager
ITEM TITLE: Resolution Adopting Policy and Procedures for Escheat of Unclaimed Property for the City of Covina.

STAFF RECOMMEDATION:

Adopt Resolution Number 14- 7256 approving policy and procedures for the Escheat of Unclaimed Property.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the approval of this policy. However, the practice of escheating unclaimed property to the City will result in revenue to the General Fund. The amount will vary depending on the aggregate dollar amount of items processed annually.

BACKGROUND:

The City routinely issues checks including vendor payments and various types of refunds. In addition, various amounts are placed on deposit with the City per City Ordinance or as otherwise legally required. Occasionally, checks are returned because the owner cannot be located at the last known address or the City is unable to return deposits held because the legal owner is unknown.

The attached Policy and Procedure document provides authoritative guidance to City staff in order to meet the legal requirement for unclaimed property according to Government Code Sections 50050- 50056.

RELEVANCE TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

While not related to the Strategic plan, the approval and implementation of this policy and procedures document will promote responsible fiscal stewardship.

Title: Covina Recreation Village Project – Project No. P2202 – Rejection of All Bids Presented by: Brian K. Lee, Director of Community Development Lisa Evans, Director of Parks & Recreation & Library
Andy Bullington, Director of Public Works
Rafael M. Fajardo, Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation: 1. Reject all bids received for construction of the Covina Recreation Village Project; and2.

Authorize City staff to revise the project bid package and re-solicit bids for construction.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

As part of the City’s Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council approved the Covina Recreation Village Project - Phase II, which consists of the construction of the Covina Recreation Village Project.

The City of Covina acquired the 2.49-acre parcel, located at 301 East Front Street, from Trumark Homes and consists of two properties:
 301 E Front Street – West Building (approximately 18,196 square feet)  301 E Front Street – East Building (approximately 13,530 square feet) On December 21, 2021 the City Council awarded a contract to GGA for the design of the Covina Recreation Village Project. The design was completed with the envisioned recreation village concept in mind that would provide a number of recreation and community amenities to Covina residents such as a library, gym, dog park, and climbing wall, as well as address goals of the City of Covina’s General Plan.

DISCUSSION:

Construction plans and specifications for the Covina Recreation Village Project were completed in late 2023 and City staff proceeded to complete a competitive bid proposal process. City staff published the project in the San Gabriel Valley Examiner and the Dodge Construction Network inviting bids on January 4th, 11th 18th & 25th, 2024 for a bid opening on February 13, 2023 at 10:00 am. No bids were submitted.

City staff re-advertised the project on February 22nd, 29th & March 7th, 2024 for a scheduled bid opening on March 12th, 2024 and only one bid was submitted from Bernards Bros, Inc. in the amount of $29,756,000. The bid amount was approximately 30% above the project’s initial cost estimate; therefore, City staff is recommending that the City Council reject all bids and authorize City staff to re-solicit bids for construction.

FISCAL IMPACT:

All funding sources allocated for the Covina Recreation Village Project construction phase total $19,181,634 and are comprised of the following:

CC Regular Meeting

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. PH 1
Meeting: March 19, 2024
Title: Public Hearing Considering the Adoption of the Covina Active Streets and Multi-Modal Connectivity Plan
Presented by: Daniella Andrade, Management Analyst
Brian K. Lee, Director of Community Development
Recommendation: Adopt City Council Resolution CC 2024-12 Adopting the Covina Active Streets and MultiModal Connectivity Plan, and Finding the Project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In December 2021, the City of Covina was awarded a grant under the Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program administered by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The purpose of the program is to support the Caltrans Mission to provide a safe, sustainable, integrated, and efficient transportation system to enhance California’s economy and livability and provide other benefits such as greenhouse gas reduction, and improving public health and social equity. Covina was one of 59 awardees under this grant program.

The Covina Active Streets and Multi-Modal Connectivity Plan is a comprehensive planning document that builds upon Covina’s existing planning framework (e.g. Covina’s General Plan, Town Center Specific Plan, and Bicycle Master Plan), lays out goals and objectives to facilitate multi-modal connectivity in Covina, and considers weighted spatial information (e.g. disadvantaged census tracts, walksheds to amenities/transit, average speed) and facility capacity (e.g. existing capacity to support/accommodate alternative facilities) in identifying streetscape, pedestrian, and bicycle priority project areas and improvements/enhancements. Civic engagement was also an important factor as part of the plan’s development and is summarized in Chapter 3 of the Draft plan.

On February 13, 2024, the plan was presented to the Planning Commission and Transportation and Mobility Advisory Commission for consideration at a joint meeting. At the meeting, both commissions made minor recommendations to the Plan which have been added. A few of these recommendations are addressed within the plan and no changes were needed.

1. Add a map of census blocks to the Equity Study Appendix a. Maps were added on pages 9-10 of the Equity Outcomes Appendix
