CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR INSCORE AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: DAVID YEAGER, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS

ANDREW LEIGHTON, ENGINEERING PROJECT MANAGER
DATE: JUNE 3, 2024
SUBJECT: CRESCENT CITY CULTURAL GATEWAY AND BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT– GREENWORKS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Technical questions from Council
• Receive public comment
• Further Council discussion
• Approve and authorize the City Manager to sign a Professional Services Agreement with GreenWorks, PC for the design of the Cultural Gateway and Beautification Project funded by the Caltrans Clean California Grant Program

BACKGROUND
The Clean California Local Grant Program (CCLGP) is a competitive statewide program created to beautify and clean up local streets and roads, tribal lands, parks, pathways, transit centers, and other public spaces.

Assembly Bill 149 (Sec.16) created the Clean California Local Grant Program of 2021 and was codified under Streets and Highway Code § 91.41 et seq. The Program is one part of the nearly $1.1 billion Clean California (Clean CA) initiative that takes direct aim at the continuous trash accumulation that has overwhelmed the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and its partners. Other parts of the Clean CA initiative include litter abatement efforts, state beautification and safety projects, and public education campaigns.

The City Council approved and adopted Resolution No. 2023-23 authorizing the submission of a grant application to Clean California on April 17, 2023. At the same meeting, the Council authorized the City Manager to sign all agreements and award documents pending award.

GreenWorks Contract for CleanCA
June 3, 2024
2 The Restricted Grant Agreement (RGA No. CCLADV-5013-018) was awarded on September 15, 2023. The award amount was $2,988,000 with no local match or in-kind contributions. The RGA Amendment 1 (RGA No. CCLADV-5013-018-A1) was signed on September 15, 2023 to modify the allowable contingency percentage from 10% to 12% due to project components covered by Redwood Coast Transit and to update the advanced spending plan required to receive advanced funding. The City Manager executed the agreements on February 29, 2024. Caltrans issued a Notice to Proceed on the same day which concurrently authorized $897,000 of advanced funding. City Council acceptance of the grant was pre-authorized in Resolution No. 2023-23.

As this Clean California Grant is governed by Caltrans, Caltrans procedures for bidding and contract acquisition apply to all contracts associated with this funding. A formal Request for Proposals was published on March 12, 2024. Proposals were opened on April 11, 2024. GreenWorks submitted the only proposal. Since the opening of the proposals the City and GreenWorks have been refining the scope of work and the pricing to better fit the overall budget.

ITEM ANALYSIS
The scope of the project will be to improve the public space located at the juncture of US Highway 101 South and Front Street (also known as the “S Curve”). The Crescent City Cultural Gateway and Beautification project aims to clean-up and beautify this section of Front Street by establishing gateway monuments, improving the landscape features beyond US Highway 101 to Front and N Street, improving public access at the Cultural Center/Visitor’s Center and Veteran’s Monument, establishing a designated starting point for the Tolowa Interpretive Walk, and moving the Transit Hub to a safer and more convenient location.

The project will include the following components:
• Elk Creek Clean-up: organize stream cleanups, install trash bins, and install interpretive elements in immediate area.
• Gateway Monuments, Landscaping, and Public Art (Front Street from L to N Streets): two gateway monuments at L and M Street will be constructed to help establish a sense of arrival and guide visitors down Front Street to Beachfront Park. Native landscaping berms will be constructed to match design elements found in the Beachfront Park. Public art pieces complementary to the Stamps Way entry will become visual points of interest and congruity with visitor arrival. • Cultural Center/Visitor’s Center Entrance (Front between Play and K Street):

The design will include stamped concrete inspired by Tolowa basket design patterns, tying directly to the adjacent Tolowa Cultural Interpretive Area. A similarly designed concrete pad to the west will highlight multiple interpretive kiosks to help guide visitors to local points of interest. The front of the Cultural Center will have the stairs removed to open up the structure both visually as well as making access more inviting. Additional parking will also be added to both the Cultural Center/Visitor’s Center entrance and Veteran’s Monument.

GreenWorks Contract for CleanCA
June 3, 2024
3 • Tolowa Interpretive Walk Entrance (Front and K Street): Additional landscaping elements and another Tolowa basket patterned concrete pad will be constructed to initiate the beginning of the Tolowa Interpretive Walk next to Elk Creek. Native tree plantings will enhance the appeal of this area. • Transit Center Relocation (Front between Play and K Street): The Transit Center will need to be moved to the preferred location of the library parking lot, across the street from the Cultural Center/Visitor’s Center. While this grant will not cover the full plans for the Transit Center at its newly proposed location, it will allow for continued Redwood Coast Transit Authority bus parking as well as charter bus staging by creating a bus loading lane with redirected sidewalk. Landscape amenities will also be included at this location.

GreenWorks will be providing design team management for the team of specialized designers, engineers and environmental consultants. Target dates consist of 30% design by August 30, 2024, 60% design along with Coastal Development Permit by September 30, 2024, and 100% design for bidding by March 31, 2025.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The negotiated price with Greenworks is a not-to-exceed budget of $280,698.40.

The Grant application included $185,000 for project design and $30,000 for environmental permitting. The grant also included $90,000 for project management for a total staff and design budget of $305,000.

The City has negotiated with due diligence the necessary scope reduction to keep design costs low while still meeting the promises for the grant award without triggering a grant amendment. The costs of the GreenWorks Clean California design will be covered by the amount included within the grant funding. The cost differential between the design & environmental grant budget, and the cost of the GreenWorks contract, will reduce the amount of time staff can be reimbursed by the grant.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR INSCORE AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: RICHARD GRIFFIN, CHIEF OF POLICE
MARTHA D. RICE, CITY ATTORNEY
DATE: JUNE 3, 2024
SUBJECT: MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE POLICY
______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Technical questions from the Council
• Receive public comment
• Further Council discussion
• Receive the Military Equipment Use 2023 Annual Report • Waive full reading, read by title only and introduce Ordinance No. 842, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Crescent City Confirming Approval of the CCPD Military Equipment Use Policy

BACKGROUND
Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481), codified at Government Code sections 7070 through 7075 requires a law enforcement agency (LEA) to obtain approval from the applicable governing body, via adoption of a “military equipment” use policy (the Policy) by ordinance (the Ordinance), prior to the LEA funding, acquiring, or using military equipment. The term “military equipment” includes a variety of law enforcement tools (including less than lethal weapons) that are a component of overall best practices for law enforcement agencies throughout the country. Items deemed to be “military equipment” include, but are not limited to, unmanned aerial or ground vehicles, armored vehicles, command and control vehicles, pepper balls, less lethal shotguns, less lethal 40mm projectile launchers, long range acoustic devices, and flashbangs. Many of these tools are vital to protecting the safety of citizens and officers as they provide peace officers with the ability to safely resolve volatile situations which otherwise might rise to the level of a lethal force encounter.

MILITARY EQUIPMENT ANNUAL REPORT
JUNE 3, 2024
2 A military equipment use policy must address the following matters for each type of military equipment:
(1) description, quantity, capabilities, lifespan, and manufacturer product descriptions;
(2) the purposes and authorized uses for each type of military equipment; (3) fiscal impact including the initial costs of obtaining the equipment and annual costs of maintenance;
(4) the legal and procedural rules that govern each authorized use; and (5) the training, including any course required by POST, that must be completed before an officer may use each specific type of military equipment.

The policy must also detail the mechanisms to ensure compliance with the policy, including which persons or entities have oversight authority, and, if applicable, what legally enforceable sanctions are put in place for violations of the policy. The policy must also provide procedures by which members of the public may register complaints or concerns or submit questions about the use of each specific type of military equipment, and how the department will ensure that each complaint, concern, or question receives a timely response.

The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 830, Approving a Military Equipment Use Policy on June 6, 2022. The policy was amended by Ordinance No. 832 on October 17, 2022 to allow for the purchase of a drone. On June 5, 2023, the City Council approved the same policy without changes by way of Ordinance No. 836.

AB 481 also requires an annual report (based on the previous calendar year) detailing the use, costs, and inventory of each type of military equipment listed in the policy as well as the result of any audits and a summary of complaints concerning the military equipment. After submission of the report, the City is required to hold one well-publicized public meeting where the public is invited to ask questions concerning the policy.

Prior to re-authorizing the policy, the City Council must determine that the identified military equipment was used in compliance with the policy.

ITEM ANALYSIS
The Military Equipment Use Policy 2023 Annual report is attached hereto. The specific equipment identified in the policy was only utilized for training purposes in calendar year 2023. As of the close of the calendar year, the drone had not been purchased. No changes are proposed to the policy. The ordinance will simply confirm the Council’s approval of the policy, which is necessary to be able to use or purchase the equipment.

Timeline:
• Receive Annual Report June 3
• Introduce Ordinance June 3
• Public Meeting June 17

MILITARY EQUIPMENT ANNUAL REPORT
JUNE 3, 2024
3 • Adopt Ordinance July 1
• Effective Date August 1

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The recommended actions will have no direct fiscal impact other than ordinance publication costs.

STRATEGIC PLAN ASSESSMENT

GOAL 1: Support quality services, community safety, and health to enhance the quality A. Empower and utilize Police, Fire, and Public Works departments to make Crescent City one of the safest cities in the United States GOAL 3: Obtain the highest levels of organizational excellence A.
