CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 1.
FROM: Douglas Dancs, Director of Public Works
DATE: 01/24/2022
SUBJECT: Conduct Solid Waste Rate Adjustment Public Hearing
RECOMMENDATION
1. Conduct a public hearing to accept testimony and written solid waste rate adjustment protests; and
2. Direct the City Clerk to tabulate protests and, if the number of written protests received is not sufficient to constitute a majority protest, find there is no majority protest; and
3. Consider solid waste rate adjustments; and

SUMMARY
On November 22, 2021, the City Council approved a Valley Vista Services' program to comply with new state-mandated organic waste recycling requirements. As part of implementing the new program, the City Council must conduct a Proposition 218 public hearing on the rates required to operate the program. If a majority protest is received, the noticed rate adjustment is rejected. A majority protest is 7,300 of 14,599 parcels. If fewer than 7,300 protests are received, the City Council may approve the attached resolution to adjust the rates.
The organic waste recycling program and other franchise amendments represent a $4.94 monthly single family residential solid waste rate increase (from $16.17 to $21.11).
Combined with the $0.32 organic waste recycling compliance fee, the monthly single family residential cost will be $21.43. Even with this increase, Cypress’ trash rates will remain among the lowest in Orange County.
The City Council also directed the Public Works department to create a program to assist low-income residents with the transition to the new rates.
DISCUSSION
Background
In November 2021, the City Council approved Valley Vista Service’s Organic Waste Recycling Program and related franchise amendments, including updated Consumer Price Index (CPI) calculations, and set the public hearing for the rate adjustments.
Solid waste rates are subject to Proposition 218 which requires local governments to mail a notice regarding proposed fee increases to every property owner; hold a public hearing at least 45 days after the mailing, and reject the fee increase if a majority (50% plus one) of property owners present written protests. The Proposition 218 notice and all rates were posted on the website on December 9 and the rate adjustment notice was mailed on December 10. The notice was also posted and published in a local newspaper 10 days in advance of the public hearing. Protests are limited to one per parcel; must be in writing and include the property address or Assessor's parcel number; a protest statement; and the protester's name and signature to be valid. During the public hearing, the City Clerk will report the number of protests received before the City Council meeting and count any protests received during the public hearing.

The following alternatives are available to the City Council if a majority public protest is not received:
Initiate a new Proposition 218 process and analysis for rates other than those identified in the public hearing notice; or
1. Do not approve the resolution adjusting the solid waste rates identified in the public hearing notice and provide direction.
2. Information regarding new organic waste recycling program roll-out is attached.
Customer Assistance Program
On January 10, 2022, the City Council approved a spending plan for $11.7 million of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding allocated to Cypress, which includes $50,000 to create program to assist low-income residents with the solid waste rate transition.
As recommended, the program will be administered by Public Works and automatically enroll residential trash customers who are part of the Golden State Water (GSW) Customer Assistance Program. GSW’s program supports low-income households using gross annual incomes for eligibility and detailed information about household income eligibility is attached.
Approximately 1,400 customers/residents participating in the GSW program would be automatically enrolled in the city’s program and receive an annual $15 discount on their residential trash bill for two years (approximately a 25% reduction). Eligible customers/residents will be automatically enrolled in the program. No action or application by the residential trash customer will be required.
BUDGET IMPACT
Rate Adjustment
The compliance fee will generate approximately $100,000 a year to offset costs associated with the new state mandate. Without the fee, the City Council will need to fund these costs from existing General Fund resources.
Customer Assistance Program
Based on current Golden State Water Customer Assistance Program enrollment rates, the $50,000 allocated in the General Fund for this program are sufficient to cover program set-up and rebates for a two-year period.
LEGAL REVIEW
In accordance with Proposition 218, the resolution prepared by the City Attorney declares the results of the public hearing and provides for findings for the adoption of the noticed rate increase where a majority protest is not received.
Proposition 218 is silent on a process for a vote to deny a noticed rate increase without a majority protest. The general rule is the City Council retains the discretion to approve or deny a rate increase and the franchise is written that way.
A new Proposition 218 process is required for any higher rate increases than the one set forth in the Proposition 218 notice. Proposition 218 requires the amount of a rate increase to be calculated and specified in a notice first. A higher rate increase requires a new noticing process to occur first because the rate must first be explained in the Proposition 218 notice before the public hearing is held.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular Item # 11.
FROM: Douglas Dancs, Director of Public Works
DATE: 11/22/2021
SUBJECT: Approve an Organic Waste Recycling Program; Amendments to the Solid Waste Franchise with Valley Vista Services to Implement the Organic Waste Recycling Program, Adjust Residential and Commercial Recycling Rates, and Change the Consumer Price Index Calculations; and a City Organics Recycling Compliance Fee
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve Valley Vista Services’ Organic Waste Recycling Program and related franchise amendments; and
2. Approve franchise amendments adjusting residential and commercial recycling rates and changing the Consumer Price Index calculations; and
3. Approve the city organics recycling compliance fee, subject to a Proposition 218 hearing; and
4. Approve the Proposition 218 notice and schedule; and
5. Set a public hearing for the rate adjustment.
SUMMARY
The state’s recently approved Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy requires residential and commercial organic waste recycling starting in 2022. To comply with the state’s strategy, the City Council directed the city’s waste hauler, Valley Vista Services (VVS), to develop an organic waste recycling program that meets the new state mandates.
Along with the organic waste recycling program, VVS proposed two modifications to its franchise with the city: (1) adjust the recycling program to account for the collapse of the global market for recyclables; and (2) adjust the Consumer Price Index (CPI) calculation to account for rising inflation.
The Public Works department and city’s solid waste expert, MuniEnvironmental, negotiated and reviewed VVS's program and proposed franchise amendments. That review concluded the organic waste recycling program meets state requirements. It also determined the organic waste recycling program's rates, methodology and equipment needs are appropriate and within industry standards. It is recommended that the City Council approve the program. Public Works and MuniEnvironmental also determined VVS’s proposed recycling program and CPI calculation adjustments are reasonable and within industry standards and recommends that the City Council approve them.
The state’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy imposes significant new administrative obligations on the city and a 1.5% organics recycling compliance fee on residential and commercial waste collection rates is recommended to fund these costs. The organics recycling compliance fee is projected to generate approximately $100,000 a year. Without the fee, the General Fund will need to absorb $100,000 in costs to comply with the new administrative obligations.
In total, the new organic waste recycling program and other adjustments to the franchise will increase residential solid waste rates by $4.94 a month from $16.17 to $21.11. Combined with the $0.32 city compliance fee, the total monthly cost is $21.43. The additional annual cost for a residential customer is $63.12. Even with this increase, Cypress’ trash rates will remain among the lowest in Orange County.
DISCUSSION
Background
The state requires a 75% reduction in organic waste (food waste, green waste, paper products) disposal and a 20% increase in edible food recovery by 2025. To achieve this reduction, the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) requires that cities provide organic recycling for all residents and businesses in 2022.
In January, the City Council directed VVS to develop and implement organic waste recycling programs to comply with state regulations. In April, City Council contracted with solid waste industry experts to support the city’s evaluation and negotiation of VVS’s new programs and necessary rate adjustments. VVS submitted its proposal in June and the city has been evaluating and negotiating with VVS since then. In September, City Council received an update on the progress of the organic waste recycling program and approved amendments to the city’s Solid Waste Ordinance to comply with CalRecycle requirements and extend the organic waste recycling program implementation deadline.
VVS Program Summary
VVS Residential Organics Program
VVS’s new program will supply single-family residences with existing green carts a new two-gallon organics receptacle for daily storage of food waste called a kitchen caddie. Residents will bag the kitchen caddie waste and dispose of it with other organic waste in their green carts. Using existing green carts for organics recycling eliminates the need for a new, fourth cart for organic waste. VVS will take organic waste to a facility in Industry for processing and then transfer it to a third party composting or anaerobic digestion facility. VVS will roll out the residential program in 2022 and will construct its own organic processing facility within the next five years.
Commercial/Multi-Family Program
VVS will expand its existing commercial organic recycling to meet new recycling and compliance requirements. VVS will process commercial organic waste the same way it will process residential organic waste. VVS anticipates expansion of the commercial organic recycling will be complete by the end of 2022.
Organic Waste Recycling Costs and Equipment
VVS’s new organics recycling program will cost $10.6 million amortized over 10 to 15 years. Costs include new bins, 15,000 kitchen caddies, 1,500 commercial 64-gallon organic waste collection carts, 250 larger commercial organic recycling bins, five additional trash trucks, and two new utility vehicles for route and contamination inspection.
VVS will also build its own organics processing facility, enabling it to guarantee organic recycling capacity to its partner public agencies.
VVS expects this facility to be operational within five years.
VVS Costs
Collection Vehicles $1,941,290
Utility Vehicles $262,000
Bin/Cart/Caddies $307,500
Program Signage $20,000
Processing Facility & Equipment $8,066,500
Total $10,597,290
Public Works and MuniEnvironmental reviewed VVS’s program and processing costs and determined them to be necessary, reasonable and consistent with industry standards.
Organic Waste Recycling Rate Adjustment
The cost for single-family residential organic waste recycling is $3.67 a month. Public Works and MuniEnvironmental reviewed the cost and determined it reasonable, consistent with industry standards, and competitive with organic waste recycling costs in other cities. Statemandated organic waste recycling will increase the single-family residential rate for waste collection in Cypress from $16.17 per month to $19.48.
Expansion of VVS’s commercial organics waste program will increase rates between 13.5% and 30.6%. Public Works and MuniEnvironmental reviewed the rates and determined them reasonable, consistent with industry standards, and competitive with organic waste recycling costs in other cities.
Franchise Extension
As part of the new organic waste recycling program VVS proposes extending the franchise from June 30, 2027 to June 30, 2037. The extension is necessary to enable VVS to purchase/construct and finance the program’s vehicles, equipment, and facilities. Public Works and MuniEnvironmental reviewed the proposed franchise extension and determined it necessary, reasonable and consistent with industry standards.
City Organics Recycling Compliance Fee
Complying with the state’s organic waste recycling regulations imposes significant new administrative obligations on the city, including public education and additional reporting requirements. A 1.5% organics recycling compliance fee on residential and commercial waste collections rates is recommended to fund these costs. The organics recycling compliance fee is projected to generate approximately $100,000 a year and cost a single-family residential customer $0.32 a month. Commercial customers’ fee will range between $1.50 and $3.00 a month. Without the fee, the General Fund will have to absorb the $100,000 cost. Other Orange County cities including Aliso Viejo, Costa Mesa, Los Alamitos, Laguna Woods, Orange and Placentia have implemented similar fees.
Recycling Program Adjustment
Recycling costs have increased since 2018 when other countries restricted inbound recyclables. These restrictions caused the worldwide market for recyclables to collapse, turning recycling from a revenue source to a cost for trash haulers. Since 2018, VVS has spent an average of $193,000 a year to dispose of recyclables collected in Cypress.
To address this unforeseeable change in the worldwide recycling market, VVS proposes to increase residential recycling rates by $1.27 a month. Public Works and MuniEnvironmental reviewed the proposed residential rate adjustment and determined it reasonable.
VVS proposes to increase commercial recycling rates from 50% of the trash rate to 75%. Public Works and MuniEnvironmental reviewed the proposed commercial rate adjustment and determined it reasonable.
Consumer Price Index Calculation Adjustment
The franchise provides an annual CPI-based rate adjustment every April. The CPI adjustment is capped at 3.5% on regular disposal and 5% on green waste/organic waste disposal. VVS proposes to adjust the caps to account for rising inflation.
VVS proposes that if/when CPI exceeds the established caps, rates increase to the cap, plus 85% of the CPI increase above the cap. For example, if regular disposal CPI is 6.2%, the CPI adjustment would be 3.5% plus 2.3% (85% of the difference between 6.2% and 3.5%):
CPI 6.2%
Established franchise cap 3.5%
Difference (6.2% - 3.5%) 2.7%
85% of amount above cap (2.7% * 85%) 2.3%
Total (3.5% + 2.3%) 5.8%
Without an adjustment to the CPI cap, VVS will have to absorb all inflationary cost increases above the caps. This will jeopardize VVS’s ability to effectively serve Cypress and residents will not pay the actual cost for waste disposal. The proposed cap provides residents partial protection against inflation and ensures VVS has an ongoing incentive to optimize its operations and contain costs. Public Works and MuniEnvironmental reviewed the proposed CPI adjustment and determined it reasonable.

Food Recovery: VVS will provide a minimum of $5,000 on a yearly basis to non-profit food recovery organizations. c. Procurement: If VVS purchases renewable gas or biomass electricity it will notify the city which can use the credits against required mulch purchases.
d. Capacity Planning: VVS will pre-process organic waste at the Grand Central Material Recovery Facility to deliver to the appropriate final destination for processing and provide plans for the construction and operation of its own facility. e. Public Education and Outreach: VVS will incorporate educational information into newsletters, how-to packets, website, community events, social media, and via telephone and in person.
f. Monitoring, Enforcement and Exemptions: VVS will perform route reviews and comply with any monitoring and violation noticing required by the state.
Proposition 218 Hearing - January 24, 2022
If the City Council approves the recommended organic waste recycling program and other franchise modifications, it must also conduct a Proposition 218 hearing. Approved by voters in 1996, Proposition 218 is a constitutional amendment that limits the methods by which local governments can create or increase taxes, fees and charges without taxpayer consent. Proposition 218 requires voter approval prior to imposing or increasing general taxes, assessments, and certain user fees. The recommended rate adjustments will not go into effect if written protest votes are received from more than 50% of property owners.
A rate adjustment notice will be mailed to all property owners 45 days before the public hearing and will include the process for written protest (attached). The public hearing is scheduled for January 24, 2022.
If approved at the Proposition 218 hearing, the new organic waste recycling program and rate adjustments will begin in spring 2022 (30 to 45 days after the hearing).
Recommendations and Options
It is recommended the City Council:
1. Approve Valley Vista Services’ Organic Waste Recycling Program and related franchise amendments;
2. Approve franchise amendments for recycling rate adjustments and changes to the Consumer Price Index calculations;
3. Approve the city organics recycling compliance fee, subject to a Proposition 218 hearing;
4. Approve the Proposition 218 notice and schedule; and
5. Set a Public Hearing for the rate adjustment
The City Council can provide alternative direction on the organic waste recycling program, rate adjustments, franchise terms, or compliance fee. Changes may delay program implementation and/or require changes to the Proposition 218 hearing schedule.
BUDGET IMPACT
The compliance fee will generate approximately $100,000 a year to fund costs related to new state mandates. Without the fee, the City Council will need to fund these costs from existing General Fund resources.

All written protests must (at a minimum) include the following information to be counted: (a) address or assessor parcel numbers of property subject to the proposed rate increases, (b) the name of the owner of the property (or tenant if applicable) and whether the protester is an owner or tenant of the property, (c) a statement that the party is protesting the rate increases, and (d) the protester's signature. Only one protest per parcel will be counted.
If written protests against the proposed rate increase, rate adjustment formula, and City Compliance and Monitoring Fee are presented by a majority (50% plus 1) of owners or tenants of the parcels upon which the rates will be imposed, then the City will not approve the increased rates, rate adjustment formula, and Compliance and Monitoring Fee.
If you wish to legally challenge any action taken by the City on the above matter, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City at, or prior to, the public hearing.
For more information regarding submitting written protests, call the City Clerk at (714) 229-6683. For more information regarding the proposed rate increases, rate adjustment formula, or City Compliance and Monitoring Fee, contact Kirsten Graham at (714) 229-6748.
A complete proposed rate schedule can be found on the City of Cypress website at www.cypressca.org and is available at City Hall at 5275 Orange Avenue, Cypress, California 90630.
Proposed One-Time Rate Increases
The City's solid waste hauler, Valley Vista Services (WS), has requested rate increases on certain solid waste service rates to account for its additional costs to comply with new California laws mandating recycling of organic waste, which go into effect on January 1, 2022. The amount of the proposed increases have been calculated based on the additional operational costs that will be incurred by WS in complying with these new laws.
The current fees and adjusted fees for the most common residential and commercial solid waste collection service are shown below:
Service Type Current Rate Proposed Rate City Fee Total Rate (Per Month) (Per Month)
Residential $16.17 $21.11 $0.32 $21.43
(96-gallon cart service),
including refuse cart, recycling cart,
and green waste/organics cart
Commercial Organic $84.19 $95.56 $1.43 $96.99
(64-gallon cart service)
Commercial Green Waste $90.63 $99.69 $1.50 $101.19
(3-yard bin 1 x week)
Commercial Recycling $72.92 $109.38 $1.64 $111.02
(3-yard bin 1 x week)
Proposed 5-Year Future Rate Adjustment Formula
The City's solid waste franchise agreement provides for annual rate adjustments effective on July 1st of each year, with the first adjustment effective on July 1, 2022, and the last adjustment effective July 1, 2026. These rate adjustments would be applicable to all residential and commercial refuse services, as well as roll-off service. If this formula is approved, WS will provide notice of increases in rates at least 30 days prior to each increase taking effect.
The City's solid waste franchise agreement also provides for annual solid waste disposal rate adjustments based on the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County California Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers between the two previous Februaries and are proposed to be adjusted beginning July 1, every year for the next five year period. continued on other side ...

RESOLUTION NO. _______
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS DECLARING THE RESULT OF THE PROPOSITION 218 PROTEST COUNT FOR THE PROPOSED
SOLID WASTE COLLECTION RATE ADJUSTMENTS AND ADOPTING THE
PROPOSED RATE ADJUSTMENTS
WHEREAS, Article XIIID, Section 6 of the California Constitution (“Proposition 218”) requires that, prior to the public hearing to increase solid waste collection rates, the City must mail to each property owner subject to the fee, at least 45 days prior to such public hearing, a notice describing (a) the amount of the fee or charge to be imposed upon each parcel, (b) the basis upon which the amount of the proposed fee or charge was calculated, (c) the reason for the fee or charge, and (d) the date, time, and location of the public hearing on the proposed fee or charge; and WHEREAS, on or about September 22, 2014, the City entered into a franchise agreement (“Agreement”) with Valley Vista Services of Orange County (“VVSOC”) to provide franchise waste hauling services (“Solid Waste Services”); and WHEREAS, at its meeting of November 22, 2021, action was taken by the City Council to (1) approve VVSOC’s Organic Waste Recycling Program and related franchise amendments; (2) approve franchise amendments adjusting residential and commercial recycling rates and changing the Consumer Price Index calculations, subject to a Proposition 218 hearing; (3) approve the city organics recycling compliance fee, subject to a Proposition 218 hearing; (4) approve the Proposition 218 notice and schedule; and (5) set a public hearing on January 24, 2022, for approval thereof; and WHEREAS, the January 24, 2022, public hearing concerns the City Council’s adoption of (i) a proposed adjustment to the City’s solid waste disposal service rates, (ii) an automatic rate increase formula, which would result in additional automatic increases to all solid waste service rates over the next five years, and (iii) a City Compliance and Monitoring Fee (collectively the “Rate Adjustments”); and WHEREAS, on December 10, 2021, the City mailed notice of a public hearing to be held on January 24, 2022 relating to the Rate Adjustments in accordance with Proposition 218; and
WHEREAS, the City published said notice in The Orange County Register, a newspaper of general circulation in the City, on January 13, 2022; and WHEREAS, a public hearing to consider the Rate Adjustments, and any protest to such rates, was held on January 24, 2022, before the City Council, which meeting and public hearing was held more than 45 days after the mailed notice of proposed Rate Adjustments; and
01004.0014/761201.2 2
WHEREAS, written protests to the proposed Rate Adjustments have not been presented by a majority of the owners or tenant/rate payers of the identified parcels in the City; and
WHEREAS, the Rate Adjustments, as set forth in Exhibits “A,” “B,” and “C,” attached hereto and made part hereof, are required to cover the cost of providing solid waste services to property owners or tenant/rate payers within the City; and WHEREAS, the Rate Adjustments are non-discriminatory and do not exceed the City’s costs to provide such services to users thereof; and WHEREAS, at the January 24, 2022, public hearing on this matter, the City Council considered all documentation in the record and the City Council received, heard, and considered all testimony, objections, protests, and other written communications; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of this Resolution is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8) and Section 15273 of the State CEQA Guidelines codified at 14 CCR § 15273 because the resolution pertains to the adoption of charges necessary to maintain services within the City. The adoption of this Resolution is also exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
HEREBY RESOLVES as follows:
Section 1. The foregoing recitals are hereby found to be true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2. The City Council hereby finds that the Rate Adjustments, as provided in Exhibits “A,” “B,” “C” meet the substantive requirements of Proposition 218 (Cal. Const. Art. XIIID) as follows:
a. Fee for Service Provided Only: Revenues derived from the fee may not be used for any purpose other than that for which the fee was imposed.
Except for reasonable and normal administrative costs of the City, the fees collected are used to pay the City’s franchised solid waste collection company, VVSOC, for the Solid Waste Services it provides to the City’s residential and commercial customers.
b. Fee not to Exceed Cost of Service: Revenues derived from the fee may not exceed the funds required to provide Solid Waste Service. 01004.0014/761201.2 3
The City’s cost for Solid Waste Service is established by the Agreement, including all amendments thereto, which it negotiated with VVSOC as the lowest-cost contractor for Solid Waste Services available. However, the State of California’s recently approved Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy requires residential and commercial organic waste recycling starting in 2022. To comply with the state’s strategy, the City Council directed the City’s waste hauler VVSOC to develop an organic waste recycling program that meets the new state mandates. Along with the organic waste recycling program, Rate Adjustments include the following: (1) adjustment to the recycling program to account for the collapse of the global market for recyclables; and (2) adjustment to the applicable Consumer Price Index (CPI) calculation to account for rising inflation.
With respect to the Organic Waste Recycling Program, the City’s Public Works department and City’s solid waste expert, MuniEnvironmental, reviewed VVSOC’s program and proposed franchise amendments (including the Rate Adjustments). That review concluded VVSOC’s organic waste recycling program meets state requirements and also determined the organic waste recycling program’s rates, methodology and equipment needs are appropriate and within industry standards. The City Council approved this program on November 22, 2021. The City’s Public Works department and MuniEnvironmental also determined the Rate Adjustments are reasonable and within industry standards.
With respect to the Organics Recycling Compliance Fee, the state’s ShortLived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy imposes significant new administrative obligations on the City, which is estimated to be approximately $100,000 per year. Therefore, a 1.5% Organics Recycling Compliance Fee on residential and commercial waste collection rates is proposed as part of the Rate Adjustments to fund these costs. The Organics Recycling Compliance Fee component is projected to generate approximately $100,000 a year to cover these costs.
With respect to the CPI Calculation Adjustment, the Agreement provides an annual CPI-based fee adjustment every April. The CPI adjustment is capped at 3.5% on regular disposal and 5% on green waste/organic waste disposal; however, in order to account for rising inflation, the CPI adjustment has been modified as follows: if/when CPI exceeds the established caps, rates increase to the cap, plus 85% of the CPI increase above the cap. This will ensure that rates do not exceed the costs of providing Solid Waste Services.
c. Fee not to Exceed Proportional Cost: The amount of the fee may not exceed the proportional cost of the refuse service attributable to the parcel.
01004.0014/761201.2 4
The proposed rates are reasonably proportional and cost-based, and meet the general requirements of fairness and equity under Proposition 218. d. Fee Imposed Only for Service Actually Used: Fees may be imposed only for service that is actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property subject to the fee or charge.
The fees are only imposed for the provision of Solid Waste Services. e. Fee May Not Be Used for General Governmental Services: Revenues derived from the fee may not be used for the provision of general governmental services, such as police, fire, ambulance, or libraries, where the service is available to the public in substantially the same manner as it is to property owners.
These fees are only imposed upon customers of Solid Waste Services, which services are not provided to the public in general. Further, these fees will only be used for the provision of Solid Waste Services and will not be used on general governmental services.
f. Notice. The City has provided the required written notice in accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution.
Section 3. With respect to the Rate Adjustments, the City Council has fully considered this matter and has:
a. Reviewed the submittal, notice and information submitted herewith regarding the proposed increase, the parcels to which the proposed fee increase would apply, and the reasons and basis for the increase and the fees;
b. Provided notice of the proposed fee increase in accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution;
c. Heard and received all written protests of real property subject to the fee; and
d. Taken and received oral and documentary evidence pertaining to the proposed fee increase; and
e. Written protests to the proposed Rate Adjustments have not been presented by a majority of the owners or tenant/rate payers of the identified parcels in the City.
01004.0014/761201.2 5
Section 4. Based upon the forgoing and all the evidence in the record, the City Council hereby adopts the Rate Adjustments, as provided in Exhibits “A”, “B,” and “C,” and such Rate Adjustments shall commence and be effective for services provided as of March 1, 2022.
Section 5. This Resolution shall be effective immediately upon its adoption.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a regular meeting held on the 24th day of January, 2022.

9.02 Schedule of Future Adjustments
Beginning with the Rate Year starting July 1, 2018 2022 and ending on June 30, 2019 and for all subsequent Rate Years, the maximum rates shown in Exhibit 1 may be adjusted upon request as described in this Section 9. The Collector shall submit its request in writing directly to City staff or via certified mail, on or before the March 15 prior to the July 1 when the rate change will take effect, 2018 and each succeeding year. Failure to submit a written request by March 15th of each year shall result in Collector waiving the right to request such an increase for the subsequent Rate Year. Missed rate adjustments may not be added to rate adjustment applications in ensuing years. The rates shall decrease automatically in accordance with Section 9 if either the disposal gate fee or the Consumer Price Index decreases. Rate adjustment calculations shall be separately performed for Residential Cart rates (Exhibit 2A), Commercial Bin and Cart rates (Exhibit 2B), Roll-off Box and Temporary Service rates (2C), and Other Service rates.
9.02.1 Cost Component and Rate Adjustment Indexes
The approved rates consist of the following cost components, followed by the initial weightings of each component. Each cost components may be adjusted by the change in the corresponding index as provided below. See Section 9.02.2 for detailed rate adjustment procedures.

(1) Weightings may be adjusted for the rate adjustment following, and based upon results from each audit per Section 8.04.1.
(2) For example, if the published annual CPI for the region is 6.2%, Collector could request the full 3.5% and 85% of the difference, as shown in the following table:
Published Regional CPI 6.2%
Franchise Cap 3.5%
Difference (6.2% - 3.5%) 2.7%
85% of Difference 2.295%
TOTAL CPI (3.5% + 2.295%) 5.795%
(3) For example, if the published annual CPI for the region is 6.2%, Collector could request the full 5% and 85% of the difference, as shown in the following table:
Published Regional CPI 6.2%
Franchise Cap 5%
Difference (6.2% - 5%) 1.2%
85% of Difference 1.02%
TOTAL CPI (5% + 1.02%) 6.02%
9.02.2 Rate Adjustment for Residential Services and Commercial Refuse Services
Residential Cart rates and Commercial Bin and Cart rates will be adjusted using the same method, but will be calculated separately due to the differences in the weightings of the Collection and Disposal components for each Customer type, as listed in Section 9.02.1.
Step One – Calculate the percentage increase or decrease in Collection, Disposal, and Green Waste Component indices listed in Section 9.02.1. The increase or decrease in the Collection Component index and Green Waste Component index will be based on the twelve (12) month period ending February prior to the July 1 when the rate change will take effect.
The Disposal index will be based on the actual percentage change in the gate rates at Orange County Landfills as per the then-existing waste disposal agreement with the City of Cypress for the twelve (12) month period ending June 30 prior to the July 1 when the rate change will take effect. The Green Waste index will be based on the posted gate rate at Grand Central Recycling.
The percentage increase for the Collection Component Index shall not exceed 3.5% plus 85% of any increase in CPI above 3.5% for any Rate Year (see chart in Section 9.02.1).
The percentage increase for the Green Waste Component index shall not exceed 5% plus 85% of any increase in CPI above 5% for any Rate Year (see chart in Section 9.02.1).
Step Two – For rate adjustments prior to the first audit (see Section 8.04.1). Cost components are weighted as listed in Section 9.02.1. For subsequent rate adjustments, the relative weightings of the Collection and Disposal cost components will be determined by the most recent audit conducted per Section 8.04.1.
Multiply the percentage changes for the Collection and Disposal cost components, as determined in Step One, by that component’s weighting as a percentage of total cost.
Step Three – Multiply the weighted permitted percent change from Step Two by the existing maximum Residential Cart, Commercial Bin and Carts Services rates to determine the increase or decrease in maximum rates. Then add (subtract) the change in rates to (from) the existing maximum rates to determine the new maximum rates. See Exhibits 2A and 2B for examples of rate adjustments procedures.
9.02.3 Rate Adjustment for Roll-Off Box & Other Services Roll-off box rates and Other Services rate adjustments will be calculated separately for the Collection (Pull), Disposal, and MRF Service Component, as listed in Section 9.02.1.
Step One – Calculate the percentage increase or decrease in Collection and Disposal Component indices listed in Section 9.02.1. The increase or decrease in the Collection and MRF Service Component index will be based on the twelve (12) month period ending February prior to the July 1 when the rate change will take effect.
The Disposal index will be based on the actual percentage change in the gate rates at Orange County Landfills as per the then-existing waste disposal agreement with the City of Cypress for the twelve (12) month period ending June 30 prior to the July 1 when the rate change will take effect. The percentage increase for the Collection and MRF Service Component Indices shall not exceed 3.5% plus 85% of any increase in CPI above 3.5% for any Rate Year (see chart in Section 9.02.1).
Step Two – For rate adjustments prior to the first audit (see Section 8.04.1). Cost components are weighted as listed in Section 9.02.1. For subsequent rate adjustments, the relative weightings of the Collection and Disposal cost components will be determined by the most recent audit conducted per Section 8.04.1.
Multiply the percentage changes for the Collection, MRF Service and Disposal cost components, as determined in Step One, by that component’s weighting as a percentage of total cost.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 5.
FROM: Douglas Dancs, Director of Public Works
DATE: 01/24/2022
SUBJECT: Authorize 2021 Federal Pavement Management Relief Funding (PMRF) Program
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the project list submittal for Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 funding through the Orange County Transportation Authority 2021 Pavement Management Relief Funding program.
DISCUSSION
The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 (CRRSAA) appropriated $10 billion for highway infrastructure programs through the Federal Highway Administration. The State of California was apportioned $912 million, with the California Transportation Commission (CTC) delegating program oversight to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The Orange County Transportation Authoirty (OCTA) is authorized by the CTC to distribute approximately $11 million to local agencies through the Pavement Management Relief Funding (PMRF) program for street pavement preservation, preventative maintenance, rehabilitation, and/or reconstruction.
This is a one-time funding program to help offset the loss of Measure M2 local fair share revenues and other funding programs that support local streets and roads whose revenue streams have been negatively impacted by the pandemic. Funds are allocated based on population and Cypress is eligible to receive $200,000, with no local match requirement.
Local agencies are required to submit a resolution certifying a list of projects that will utilize PMRF monies. The attached resolution includes a proposed project to repave Orange Avenue from Denni Street to Moody Street, and replace damaged sidewalks and driveways to meet current accessibility requirements. The City's Pavement Management Plan identifies this segment of Orange Avenue as "fair" and is due for rehabilitation. This $440,000 project will be funded with PMRF and restricted Measure M funds, and will be included in next year's Capital Improvement Program.
Local agencies are required to submit completed application materials to OCTA by February 28, 2022 and then work directly with Caltrans Local Assistance to receive final project approval by April 1, 2023.
BUDGET IMPACT
The $440,000 project will be incorporated into the FY 2022-23 Seven Year Capital Improvement Program and appropriated as part of the FY 2022-23 Budget. Cypress will receive $200,000 in PMRF funds to pay a portion of construction costs, with the balance of the project using available Measure M fund balances. The availability of these federal PMRF amounts supplement Cypress' other annual transportation revenues.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 6.
FROM: Alisha Farnell, City Clerk
DATE: 01/24/2022
SUBJECT: Authorize Letter in Support of Assembly Bill 1595 Regarding the Orange County Veterans Cemetery
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize a letter in support of AB 1595 to allow the California Department of Veterans Affairs to design, develop, and construct a state-operated veterans cemetery in Orange County.
DISCUSSION
The Orange County Board of Supervisors, Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva, and Assemblyman Steven Choi have requested the City Council consider taking a formal support position on Assembly Bill 1595 (AB 1595).
AB 1595, co-sponsored by Assemblymembers Quirk-Silva and Choi, seeks to authorize a state veterans cemetery at a location within the County of Orange with input and support by the local community. This bill also includes an urgency clause so that the California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet) can promptly start an acquisition study of a proposed cemetery location, as required by law.
Existing law only authorizes CalVet to evaluate the placement of a veterans cemetery in one of two locations in Orange County, both previously considered sites in the City of Irvine. In order to move forward with the new site in the City of Anaheim, the Legislature has to introduce a new bill to amend the current law, which includes a lengthy legislative process that can take a year or more. AB 1595 simplifies this process by broadly authorizing CalVet in cooperation with the regional local government entities, to acquire, study, design, develop, construct, and equip a state owned and operated Southern California Veterans Cemetery within the County of Orange.
It is recommended the City Council take a supportive position on AB 1595 and authorize a letter of support signed by the Mayor.

Irvine, CA 92602
SUBJECT: AB 1595 –Veterans Cemetery, County of Orange–SUPPORT Dear Assemblymember Quirk-Silva and Assemblymember Choi:
On behalf of the City of Cypress thank you for authoring Assembly Bill (AB) 1595 to allow the California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet) to design, develop, and construct a state-operated veterans cemetery in Orange County. Home to former Army, Navy, and Marine bases and an estimated 104,949 veterans, Orange County is California’s largest county without a veterans cemetery.
On July 27, 2021, the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved allocating $20 million exclusively for site development of a veterans cemetery at Gypsum Canyon and adopted a resolution to move forward with planning and developing a site to honor and respect the men and women who served our great country. The Board previously allocated over 200 acres of county-owned land at Gypsum Canyon in Anaheim Hills near the intersection of the 91 freeway and 241 toll road, which has been deeded to the Orange County Cemetery District (OCCD) for the purpose of building a veterans cemetery.
The County and OCCD have met with CalVet regarding the Gypsum Canyon site. CalVet is aware that the property will have a separate public civilian cemetery adjacent to it, and that it will be constructed and financed by OCCD separately from a veterans cemetery.
OCCD will pay all costs to bring utilities and shared infrastructure to the property.
After years of delay due to lack of consensus on a location, the County’s $20 million commitment along with OCCD’s financing plan offer an unprecedented opportunity to immediately begin funding the site. All 34 Orange County cities have adopted resolutions supporting the Gypsum Canyon site. In addition, a bipartisan majority of Orange County state and federal delegation members, numerous veterans organization leaders, and more than 140 local elected officials all enthusiastically support a veterans cemetery at Gypsum Canyon. However, legislation is needed to amend the Military & Veterans Code in order to proceed.
AB 1595 would allow CalVet to acquire, study, design, develop, construct, and equip a state-owned and state-operated Southern California Veterans Cemetery in Orange County so that we may honor the men and women who served our country and who deserve the right to be buried in Orange County. For these reasons, the City of Cypress supports AB 1595.
Sincerely,
Paulo M. Morales

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 8.
FROM: Matt Burton, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 01/24/2022
SUBJECT: Receive and File the Investment Report for the Month Ended December 31, 2021
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the attached investment report.
DISCUSSION
California Government Code Section 53607 and Cypress Municipal Code Section 2-18(f) requires the submission of a monthly investment report to the City Council. As of December 31, 2021, the City had $173.8 million (current market value) in cash and investments and the interest return (yield) on the public funds investments was 0.25%. As required by government code, all investments are in conformity with the City's investment policy and sufficient cash flows are available to meet the next six months of estimated expenditures.
The attached Summary of Cash and Investments presents the investments held by the City of Cypress as of December 31, 2021. The Investment Report consists of the following five summaries:
1. Summary of Cash and Investments - Provides the total portfolio of the City.
Changes in Cash and Investments - Provides a two-month cash flow analysis by fund type. These separate fund types allow for restricted monies to be segregated and tracked separately. The total ending amount agrees to the current market value shown in the Summary of Cash and Investments.
2. Investments at Market Value by Maturity Date - Provides a list of investments by maturity date, and an indication of the liquidity (ability to turn into cash) of the investments. The California Government Code restricts the type of investments eligible for public funds. The City’s Investment Policy further defines permitted investments.
These restrictions in investment types and the terms of allowable investments result in limited yields on City investments.
3. Interfund Investments - Shows the amount of loans between City funds. There are two loans outstanding from the Infrastructure Reserve Fund to the Cypress Recreation and Park District General Fund. Both relating to Lexington Park, the first loan is for an amount not to exceed $900,000 as reimbursement for preliminary design costs incurred
4. amount not to exceed $900,000 as reimbursement for preliminary design costs incurred and the second loan is for an amount not to exceed $12,800,000 as reimbursement for construction costs incurred.
Summary of Cash and Investments Held by Fiscal Agent and In Trust - Shows the investments held by fiscal agents for the benefit of bondholders of City-issued debt as well as investments held in trust by the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) for offsetting unfunded pension liabilities. The amounts held by fiscal agents are restricted to making future debt service payments and the pension trust amounts can only be used for future pension obligations. The legal restrictions on the allowable investment types are less restrictive than those in the City's portfolio, which provides the potential for higher yields to be earned on investments held by fiscal agents and in the pension trust.
5. As mentioned previously, the City had $173.8 million (current market value) in cash and investments at December 31, 2021. The investments included Federal Agencies Debt ($6.9 million) and Investment Pools ($163.5 million). The City's bank accounts held $3.4 million on December 31, 2021.
The majority of the investment portfolio is with the State Investment Pool (Local Agency Investment Fund or LAIF) in which the State’s investment experts provide a diversified investment pool for local agencies to invest. By using the combined size of the participating cities and agencies, the State Pool can provide better yield, liquidity and investment knowledge than otherwise would be available to a single entity. The City has also invested in CalTRUST, which is a joint powers authority (JPA) investment pool option for public agencies. Expanding the pooled investment options provides flexibility and liquidity until market yields increase.
The amount of cash in the City’s checking accounts fluctuates based on the maturity of investments, daily cash receipts, and when vendors and employees are paid. The daily balances maintained in the checking accounts provide credits which offset monthly bank charges. In addition to the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) which insures the first $250,000, excess checking deposits are secured by banks, government, or mortgage securities valued between 110% and 150% of the deposits.

FROM: Matt Burton, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 01/24/2022
SUBJECT: Approve Register of Warrants, Transfers, and Wires Issued for the Period of December 18, 2021 through January 7, 2022
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the attached payment register summarized below for the period of December 18, 2021 through January 7, 2022:

DISCUSSION
Payments to vendors for goods and services received and/or rendered are initiated and approved by the requesting department in accordance with proper purchasing guidelines.
Processing of these payments occurs centrally in the City's Finance Department with payments issued bi-weekly. A register listing of these payments is then presented to the City Council for approval. This register also includes any Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT), outgoing payroll transfers or wires issued since the previous register was presented to the City Council. Voided Payments (if any) are also included at the end of the register.
All payments are processed on the City's financial management software system. This system generates a payment batch register, sorted by warrant number (or EFT/Wire number), and presents the invoice amount and a description of the payment issued.
BUDGET IMPACT
Total warrants, transfers, and wires issued (net of any voided payments) during the period of December 18, 2021 through January 7, 2022 are $2,687,697.92.

CITY OF CYPRESS
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 10.
FROM: Peter Grant, City Manager
DATE: 01/24/2022
SUBJECT: Discussion and Potential Direction Regarding a Policy to Regulate Flags at City Facilities
RECOMMENDATION
Discuss and provide direction regarding flags at city facilities.
DISCUSSION
The City Council directed an item be placed on its agenda to provide the opportunity to discuss, and potentially direct the development of, a policy to regulate flags flown at city facilities. The city does not have a policy that controls which flags fly at its facilities, but traditionally has flown only the flag of the United States of America and the flag of the State of California on the permanent flag poles it manages.
Location Flags
City Hall US and State
Police Officer Memorial US and State
Public Works Corporation Yard US and State
Senior Center US and State
Veterans Park US, State and POW/MIA
Oak Knoll Park US
Arnold Cypress Park US
Lexington Park US and State
Each of these locations has a single flag pole. The flags are flown at Oak Knoll Park and Arnold Cypress Park only when raised by youth sports groups using the parks.
Like Cypress, many cities operate without a formal flag policy. Those that have a flag policy either (1) permit only some combination of the US, State, POW/MIA, and municipal flags; or (2) allow access to the flag poles by third parties, which effectively limits the city's ability to exercise any control over what additional flags may be flown. In accordance with the First Amendment to the US Constitution, once a public agency opens up a venue for First Amendment activities, it cannot decide which flags are appropriate and inappropriate, with very limited exceptions, such as to prohibit explicit content.
Should the City Council decide to open access to the city's flag poles, it should consider how long a flag can be flown; how space/time on a pole should be prioritized/allocated; how many flags can reasonably and properly be flown at one time; and account for resources necessary to promote, manage, and fund operation of the policy.
No matter what action the City Council may consider, it is recommended that only the US and State flags fly at the Police Officer Memorial in front of the Police Station.
BUDGET IMPACT
None.
