Agenda Item 4.4
DATE: July 19, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Project Funding Agreements with Alameda County Transportation Commission for Various Crosswalk and Traffic Signal Modification Improvements
Prepared by: Oliver Castillo, Assistant Civil Engineer
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approving project funding agreements with Alameda County Transportation Commission to fund crosswalk improvements and traffic signal modifications as part of Dublin’s Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements project (CIP No. ST0517).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving Project Funding Agreements with Alameda County Transportation Commission for Crosswalk Improvement Projects.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City will receive grants of $135,000 from Measure B funds and $726,000 from Vehicle Registration Fee funds allocated by Alameda County Transportation Commission for the Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements project (CIP No. ST0517). The grants require local matching funds of $260,000, which are already included in the project budget. There is no impact to the General Fund.
DESCRIPTION:
The 2022-2027 Capital Improvement Program includes the Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements project (CIP No. ST0517, Attachment 5), which provides for planning, design, and construction of improvements to various pedestrian and bicycle facilities throughout the City. The project includes updates to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan, maintenance and repair of sidewalks, and other focused bicycle and pedestrian projects, which may include crosswalk, sidewalk, and related 45
improvements at various locations throughout the City.
Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) is responsible for planning, funding, and delivering transportation projects and programs within Alameda County. This includes the programming of federal, state, regional, and local transportation funding, which is distributed to local jurisdictions and transit agencies directly and through competitive discretionary grant programs. In response to recent Alameda CTC grant funding programs, Staff submitted grant applications and has been awarded funding for bicycle and pedestrian improvements associated with the Safe Routes to School program, and traffic signal modifications and pedestrian improvements related to the Downtown Dublin Streetscape Plan. These improvement projects, which will be completed under the umbrella of the City’s Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements project, are described below.
Safe Routes to School - Crosswalk Improvements Project
In early 2021, Alameda CTC announced the availability of $1.7 million in Measure B and Congestion Management Agency Transportation Improvement Program funds for their Safe Routes to School Mini-Grant Program, to support capital improvements that enhance conditions for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders traveling to and from school. The Safe Routes to School Mini-Grant Program funds are discretionary and distributed using a formula based on student population. Using the formula, Staff applied for grant funding and Alameda CTC allocated $94,000 in Measure B funds via Agreement No. A22-0010 (Attachment 2) for final design costs for the Safe Routes to School – Crosswalk Improvements Project. The City is required to provide matching funds in the amount of $21,000 for final design and $100,000 for construction, totaling $121,000.
Also in early 2021, Alameda CTC issued a notice of funding opportunity as part of their 2022 Comprehensive Investment Plan. Discretionary grant funds of up to $26 million of combined Measure B, Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF), and Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) were made available for bicycle, pedestrian, and transit related projects. Staff applied for grant funding and Alameda CTC allocated VRF funds via Agreement No. A22-0026 (Attachment 3) in the amount of $110,000 for final design costs and $390,000 for construction costs for the Safe Routes to School – Crosswalk Improvements Project. The City is required to provide matching funds in the amount of $40,000 for final design and $10,000 for construction, totaling $50,000.
The Safe Routes to School project includes various improvements near 12 schools in the City and will create safer crossings, improve accessibility, and encourage more students and residents to use active transportation modes. The proposed improvements were developed through walk audits funded by Alameda CTC and coordinated by the Safe Routes to Schools program. Walk audits included in-field observations as well as feedback from numerous stakeholders, including representatives from Dublin Unified School District, Dublin Police Services, City Staff, school administrators, parents, students, and traffic engineering/transportation planning professionals.
Major recommendations from the walk audits, refined by guidelines provided in the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and by site specific engineering review, form the foundation of the proposed improvements.
The funding from Alameda CTC will offset the costs of designing and installing Rectangular Rapid 46
Flashing Beacons (RRFB) and other crosswalk improvements including ADA curb ramp upgrades, signing, and striping improvements at Amador Valley Boulevard at Burton Street, Central Parkway at Aspen Street, and Grafton Street at Antone Way, and traffic signal modification at the intersection of Central Parkway at Hibernia Drive.
Downtown Dublin Streetscape Plan Implementation – Regional Street Mid-Block Crosswalk The Downtown Dublin Streetscape Plan includes several pedestrian and bicycle improvements in the Downtown area. The City Council, Staff, and members of the community have been actively engaged in the City’s efforts to create a cohesive, unique, and walkable Downtown. Installation of a mid-block crosswalk on Regional Street has been identified as a high-priority improvement in the Downtown Dublin Streetscape Plan.
Staff applied to Alameda CTC under the same $26 million 2022 Comprehensive Investment Plan grant mentioned above. The City was allocated discretionary funds via Agreement No. A22-0027 (Attachment 4) in the amount of $41,000 in Measure B funds for final design and $226,000 in VRF funds for the construction of the Downtown Streetscape Plan Implementation project. The City is required to provide matching funds in the amount of $14,000 for final design and $75,000 for construction, totaling $89,000. The project will install an RRFB, a mid-block crosswalk, bulbouts, and signing and striping improvements on Regional Street between Dublin Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard.

RECITALS
A. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to the provisions of the Bay Area County Traffic and Transportation Funding Act, Public Utilities Code Section 131000, et seq., approved Measure B at the General Election held in November 1986, authorizing the collection of a one-half cent transaction and use tax over a fifteen (15)-year period to address major transportation needs and congestion in Alameda County and giving Alameda County Transportation Authority (“ACTA”) the responsibility for the administration of the proceeds of the tax. The proceeds from the 1986 Measure B tax have been and continue to be used to pay for investments as outlined in the 1986 Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan (“1986 TEP”), as it may be amended. Although collection of the 1986 Measure B tax ceased in 2002, capital projects funded wholly or in part by 1986 Measure B funds are still being delivered using these funds.
B. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to the provisions of the Local Transportation Authority and Improvement Act, Public Utilities Code Section 180000, et seq., approved the reauthorization of Measure B at the General Election held on November 7, 2000, authorizing the collection of a one-half cent transaction and use tax to be collected for twenty (20) years beginning April 1, 2002 and giving Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (“ACTIA”) responsibility for the administration of the proceeds of the tax.. The proceeds from the 2000 Measure B tax have been and continue to be used to pay for investments as outlined in the 2000 Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan (“2000 TEP”), as it may be amended.

C. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to Section 65089.20 of the Government Code, approved Measure F, the Vehicle Registration Fee (“VRF”), authorizing Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (“ACCMA”) to administer the proceeds from a $10 per year vehicle registration fee on each annual motor-vehicle registration in Alameda County, starting with registrations effective July 2011 with collection beginning in May 2011, six months following approval of Measure F. Vehicles subject to the VRF include all motorized vehicles, including passenger cars, light-duty trucks, medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks, buses of all sizes, motorcycles, and motorized camper homes, unless vehicles are expressly exempted from the payment of the VRF.
D. By resolutions adopted by the ACTA and ACTIA Boards on June 24, 2010, all of ACTA’s functions and responsibilities were assigned to, and accepted by, ACTIA. On that same date, the ACTIA and ACCMA Boards took the final actions to create ALAMEDA CTC, a joint powers authority with all responsibilities of ACTIA and ACCMA. Pursuant to resolutions adopted by the ACTIA and ACCMA Boards and the Commission of ALAMEDA CTC, ACCMA and ACTIA were terminated as of the close of business on February 29, 2012, with ALAMEDA CTC designated as the successor entity. All of its predecessors’ functions and responsibilities have been assigned to, and accepted by, ALAMEDA CTC.
E. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to the provisions of the Local Transportation Authority and Improvement Act, California Public Utilities Code Section 180000 et seq., approved Measure BB at the General Election held on November 4, 2014, authorizing the extension of an existing one-half of one percent transaction and use tax scheduled to terminate on March 31, 2022, and the augmentation of the tax by one-half of one percent, and giving ALAMEDA CTC responsibility for the administration of the proceeds of the 2014 Measure BB tax. The duration of the 2014 Measure BB tax will be 30 years from the initial year of collection, which began April 1, 2015, with said tax to terminate/expire on March 31, 2045. The proceeds from the 2014 Measure BB will be used to pay for investments as outlined in the 2014 Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan (“2014 TEP”), as it may be amended.
F. As the Transportation Fund for Clean Air (“TFCA”) Program Manager in Alameda County, ALAMEDA CTC annually programs 40 percent of the TFCA funds collected in Alameda County. ALAMEDA CTC receives these funds from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (“BAAQMD”), and then distributes these funds on a reimbursement basis to eligible project sponsors.
G. ALAMEDA CTC is continuing the implementation of the CMA Exchange Program, originally established by the ACCMA, for the purpose of providing local or otherwise unrestricted funds to ALAMEDA CTC for use in projects and programs adopted into the CMA Transportation Improvement Program (“CMA TIP”) by ALAMEDA CTC.
H. The funding programs administered by ALAMEDA CTC and available for projects and programs that benefit the Alameda County transportation system, consisting of 1986 Measure B, 2000 Measure B, 2014 Measure BB, VRF, TFCA, and CMA TIP, are collectively defined as and shall be referenced herein as the “ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS ”. Requirements related to 2000 Measure B, VRF and 2014 Measure BB Direct Local Distribution (“DLD”) funding distributed pursuant to 2000 Measure B, VRF and 2014 Measure BB Transportation Expenditure Plans are covered by separate agreements between ALAMEDA CTC and DLD recipients.

RECITALS
A. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to the provisions of the Bay Area County Traffic and Transportation Funding Act, Public Utilities Code Section 131000, et seq., approved Measure B at the General Election held in November 1986, authorizing the collection of a one-half cent transaction and use tax over a fifteen (15)-year period to address major transportation needs and congestion in Alameda County and giving Alameda County Transportation Authority (“ACTA”) the responsibility for the administration of the proceeds of the tax. The proceeds from the 1986 Measure B tax have been and continue to be used to pay for investments as outlined in the 1986 Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan (“1986 TEP”), as it may be amended. Although collection of the 1986 Measure B tax ceased in 2002, capital projects funded wholly or in part by 1986 Measure B funds are still being delivered using these funds.
B. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to the provisions of the Local Transportation Authority and Improvement Act, Public Utilities Code Section 180000, et seq., approved the reauthorization of Measure B at the General Election held on November 7, 2000, authorizing the collection of a one-half cent transaction and use tax to be collected for twenty (20) years beginning April 1, 2002 and giving Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (“ACTIA”) responsibility for the administration of the proceeds of the tax..

C. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to Section 65089.20 of the Government Code, approved Measure F, the Vehicle Registration Fee (“VRF”), authorizing Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (“ACCMA”) to administer the proceeds from a $10 per year vehicle registration fee on each annual motor-vehicle registration in Alameda County, starting with registrations effective July 2011 with collection beginning in May 2011, six months following approval of Measure F. Vehicles subject to the VRF include all motorized vehicles, including passenger cars, light-duty trucks, medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks, buses of all sizes, motorcycles, and motorized camper homes, unless vehicles are expressly exempted from the payment of the VRF.
D. By resolutions adopted by the ACTA and ACTIA Boards on June 24, 2010, all of ACTA’s functions and responsibilities were assigned to, and accepted by, ACTIA. On that same date, the ACTIA and ACCMA Boards took the final actions to create ALAMEDA CTC, a joint powers authority with all responsibilities of ACTIA and ACCMA. Pursuant to resolutions adopted by the ACTIA and ACCMA Boards and the Commission of ALAMEDA CTC, ACCMA and ACTIA were terminated as of the close of business on February 29, 2012, with ALAMEDA CTC designated as the successor entity. All of its predecessors’ functions and responsibilities have been assigned to, and accepted by, ALAMEDA CTC.
E. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to the provisions of the Local Transportation Authority and Improvement Act, California Public Utilities Code Section 180000 et seq., approved Measure BB at the General Election held on November 4, 2014, authorizing the extension of an existing one-half of one percent transaction and use tax scheduled to terminate on March 31, 2022, and the augmentation of the tax by one-half of one percent, and giving ALAMEDA CTC responsibility for the administration of the proceeds of the 2014 Measure BB tax. The duration of the 2014 Measure BB tax will be 30 years from the initial year of collection, which began April 1, 2015, with said tax to terminate/expire on March 31, 2045. The proceeds from the 2014 Measure BB will be used to pay for investments as outlined in the 2014 Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan (“2014 TEP”), as it may be amended.
F. As the Transportation Fund for Clean Air (“TFCA”) Program Manager in Alameda County, ALAMEDA CTC annually programs 40 percent of the TFCA funds collected in Alameda County. ALAMEDA CTC receives these funds from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (“BAAQMD”), and then distributes these funds on a reimbursement basis to eligible project sponsors.
G. ALAMEDA CTC is continuing the implementation of the CMA Exchange Program, originally established by the ACCMA, for the purpose of providing local or otherwise unrestricted funds to ALAMEDA CTC for use in projects and programs adopted into the CMA Transportation Improvement Program (“CMA TIP”) by ALAMEDA CTC.
H. The funding programs administered by ALAMEDA CTC and available for projects and programs that benefit the Alameda County transportation system, consisting of 1986 Measure B, 2000 Measure B, 2014 Measure BB, VRF, TFCA, and CMA TIP, are collectively defined as and shall be referenced herein as the “ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS ”. Requirements related to 2000 Measure B, VRF and 2014 Measure BB Direct Local Distribution (“DLD”) funding distributed pursuant to 2000 Measure B, VRF and 2014 Measure BB Transportation Expenditure Plans are covered by separate agreements between ALAMEDA CTC and DLD recipients.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project Description:
The Downtown Dublin Streetscape Plan proposed several pedestrian and bicycle improvements in the downtown Dublin area.
The project will install a mid-block crosswalk on Regional Street between Dublin Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard in Downtown Dublin. This includes installation of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), a midblock crosswalk, bulbouts with opportunities for ornamental or stormwater planting and associated signing and striping improvements.
The proposed mid-block crosswalk will provide pedestrians with a safe crossing without having to walk long distances to commercial destinations on Regional Street. The crosswalk will also increase pedestrian visibility and encourage vehicles and cyclists to proceed at a reduced speed.

Agenda Item 4.5
DATE: July 19, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Second Amendment to the Contract Instructor Services Agreement with Squad Estates dba Skyhawks Tri-Valley East Bay
Prepared by: Jennifer Mendez, Management Analyst I
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider a second amendment to the Contract Instructor Services Agreement with Squad Estates dba Skyhawks Tri-Valley East Bay to increase the not-to-exceed compensation amount for the provision of recreational classes.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving a Second Amendment to the Contract Instructor Services Agreement with Squad Estates dba Skyhawks Tri-Valley East Bay for Recreation Services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City retains 40% and the contractor receives 60% of fee revenue from classes held within City facilities (or a 30%/70% split for virtual classes). The proposed second amendment to the agreement increases the current not-to-exceed amount of $95,000 to $135,000, resulting in an additional $16,000 revenue share for the City.
DESCRIPTION:
The Parks and Community Services Department regularly engages independent contractors to deliver recreational activities and programs to the community. Upon acceptance of a proposal, the Staff works with the contractor to determine the specifics of the activity, facility availability, participant minimums and maximums, and participant age ranges. All contractors set their prices and schedules for activities or programs.
On February 21, 2021, the City entered into a Contract Instructor Services agreement with Squad Estates, dba Skyhawks Tri-Valley East Bay for the instruction of the basics and fundamentals of sports including basketball, lacrosse, soccer, golf, track and field, flag football, baseball, and multi- sports camps and classes.
144
On September 7, 2021, the agreement was amended following an increase in summer 2021 offerings resulting in Skyhawks exceeding the $45,000 threshold for the City Manager’s signature.
The amendment included a not-to-exceed compensation amount of $95,000 and extended the term of the agreement to June 30, 2022.
In the spring and summer 2022 seasons, Skyhawks increased staffing levels to accommodate participant waitlists generating a revenue share exceeding $95,000. As a result, an increase to the not-to-exceed compensation amount of $95,000 to $135,000 is required as a second amendment to the agreement to close out the vendor’s Fiscal Year 2021-22 invoices.

Agenda Item 4.6
DATE: July 19, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Authorizing Remote Meetings of City Council and City Commissions Due to Increase in COVID-19 Cases
Prepared by: John Bakker, City Attorney
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
From March 2020 through September 2021, the City conducted meetings of its legislative bodies remotely pursuant to various executive orders that suspended certain Brown Act provisions. In October 2021, the City returned to in-person meetings and the Brown Act was amended to allow for teleconferencing during a state of emergency. Under the new law, AB 361, the City can continue to conduct virtual meetings where the Governor has proclaimed a State of Emergency, or state or local health officials have imposed or recommended social distancing, if the City Council makes certain required findings. From January 11 – February 10, 2022, and since May 3, 2022, the City Council has operated under a resolution pursuant to AB 361 authorizing teleconferenced meetings for at least 30 days. The City Council will consider adopting a resolution that would allow for virtual attendance for the next 30 days.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Finding That There is a Proclaimed State of Emergency; Finding That Meeting in Person Would Present Imminent Risks to the Health or Safety of Attendees as a Result of the State of Emergency; and Authorizing Remote Teleconferenced Meetings of the Legislative Bodies of the City of Dublin Pursuant to AB 361.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
148
DESCRIPTION:
On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom declared a State of Emergency to make additional resources available, formalize emergency actions already underway across multiple state agencies and departments, and help the State address the broader spread of COVID-19.
On March 18, 2020, the City Council adopted a resolution ratifying the proclamation of a local state of emergency by the Director of Emergency Services due to COVID-19.
On March 17, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20, which suspended certain provisions of the Brown Act in order to allow local legislative bodies to conduct meetings telephonically or by other means. Additionally, the State implemented a shelter-in-place order, requiring all non-essential personnel to work from home.
At that time and through September 2021, the City’s legislative bodies met by teleconference. On June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which among other things, rescinded certain clauses of Executive Order N-29-20 after September 30, 2021, including clauses that suspended certain provisions of the Brown Act. Thus, effective October 1, 2021, agencies would have had to transition back to public meetings held in full compliance with the Brown Act.
The City of Dublin began meeting in person beginning in October 2021.
Since the Governor issued Executive Order N-08-21, the highly contagious Delta variant has emerged, causing a spike in cases throughout the state and within the Alameda County.
Additionally, since then, the Omicron variants have emerged and been designed as a variant of concern by the United States, and the number of cases in the City have increased over the last month.
On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed AB 361 (2021) which allows for local legislative and advisory bodies to continue to conduct meetings via teleconferencing under specified conditions and includes a requirement that the Council make specified findings. AB 361 took effect immediately.
AB 361 allows local legislative bodies to continue to meet remotely after the expiration of the clauses of Executive Order N-29-20. Under AB 361, the City and its legislative bodies may meet remotely when:
· The local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency; · State or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing;
· Legislative bodies declare the need to meet remotely due to present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
On January 11, 2022, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing remote teleconferenced meetings for a period of 30 days pursuant to AB 361. That resolution expired on February 10, 2022.
149
At its April 19, 2022 meeting, the City Council directed Staff to bring a resolution to the May 3, 2022 meeting to allow the City Council and the City’s legislative bodies to meet virtually, including hybrid meetings, pursuant to AB 361. At its May 3, May 17, June 7, and June 21, 2022 meetings, the City Council adopted Resolution Nos. 39-22, 48-22, 65-22, and 84-22, respectively, that included the necessary findings pursuant to AB 361 to allow the City Council and the City’s legislative bodies to meet remotely or in a hybrid format for 30 days.
The City meets the requirements to hold meetings remotely in order to ensure the health and safety of the public:
· The Governor has declared a State of Emergency, and the City Council has ratified the proclamation of a local emergency by the Director of Emergency Services; · The CDC recommends social distancing of at least six feet due to COVID-19; · There’s been an increase of COVID-19 cases within the state and throughout Alameda County;
· Meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, the legislative bodies, and staff.
The proposed resolution includes the necessary findings pursuant to AB 361 to allow the City Council and the City’s legislative bodies to meet remotely or in a hybrid format for the next 30 days. The City Council would need to adopt a subsequent resolution declaring the need to continue to meet remotely to allow for such meetings after that 30-day period.

Brown Act in order to allow local legislative bodies to conduct meetings telephonically or by other means; and WHEREAS, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and pursuant to Executive Order N-29-20 and its successors, the City Council met primarily virtually through September 2021; and WHEREAS, on June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which, effective September 30, 2021, ended the provisions of Executive Order N-29-20 that allows local legislative bodies to conduct meetings telephonically or by other means; and WHEREAS, on September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed AB 361 (2021) which allows for local legislative bodies and advisory bodies to conduct meetings via teleconferencing under specified conditions and includes a requirement that the City Council make specified findings. AB 361 (2021) took effect immediately; and
WHEREAS, under AB 361 (2021), an agency meeting virtually requires that the Governor declare a State of Emergency pursuant to Government Code section 8625; and WHEREAS, AB 361 (2021) further requires that state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, or, requires that the legislative body determines that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees; and
WHEREAS, such conditions now exist in the City, specifically, Governor Newsom has 151
Reso. No. XX-22, Item X.X, Adopted XX/XX/2022 Page 2 of 3 declared a State of Emergency due to COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, since the issuance of Executive Order N-08-21, the highly contagious Delta variant of COVID-19 has emerged, causing an increase in COVID-19 cases throughout the State and Alameda County; and
WHEREAS, on November 30, 2021, the Omicron variant was designated as a variant of concern by the United States; and
WHEREAS, cases of the highly contagious Omicron variant, including a subvariant called BA.2, have caused surges of COVID-19 and there has been an increase in cases during the last month in Alameda County; and
WHEREAS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) continues to recommend physical distancing of at least 6 feet from others outside of the household; and WHEREAS, because of the recent rise in COVID-19 cases due in part to the highly contagious Omicron variants of COVID-19, the City is concerned about the health and safety of all individuals who intend to attend City Council and meetings of the City’s other legislative bodies; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the imminent risks of the City’s legislative bodies holding in person meetings to the health or safety of attendees exists due in part to the Omicron variants of COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds, acting as a legislative body pursuant to Government Code section 54952(a) and for the benefit of all legislative bodies created by the City Council pursuant to Government Code section 54952(b), that the presence of COVID-19 and the Delta and Omicron variants would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, staff, and members; and WHEREAS, teleconference meetings may include hybrid meetings, in which all or some members of the legislative body meet in person while others attend by teleconference, and members of the public are either allowed to participate only by teleconference or both in person and by teleconference (“hybrid meetings”). The purpose of hybrid meetings is to allow for multiple modes of attending meetings while reducing the risks of COVID-19, including the Delta and Omicron variants; and
WHEREAS, the City shall ensure that its meetings comply with the provisions required by AB 361 (2021) for holding teleconferenced meetings.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Dublin as follows:
1. The above recitals are true and correct, and incorporated into this Resolution.

Reso. No. XX-22, Item X.X, Adopted XX/XX/2022 Page 3 of 3 Omicron variant, directly impacts the ability of the City Council and the City’s legislative bodies, as well as staff and members of the public, to meet safely in person; and c) The CDC continues to recommend physical distancing of at least six feet due to COVID-19 and as a result of the presence of COVID-19 and the increase of cases due to the Omicron variant, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, the legislative bodies and staff.
3. City staff is directed to facilitate any teleconference meetings, including hybrid meetings, of the City Council and City’s legislative bodies in compliance with AB 361, in order to better ensure the health and safety of the public for a period of thirty days following the adoption of this resolution.

Agenda Item 4.7
DATE: July 19, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Croak Road Ditch Maintenance Project Off-Site Mitigation Agreements Prepared by: Laurie Sucgang, City Engineer
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approving various agreements to allow the adjacent property owner to mitigate off-site for the habitat and wetland impacts resulting from proposed storm drainage work within Croak Road street right-of-way. These agreements will provide for mitigation services, the acquisition of off-site mitigation property, and a conservation endowment for Eagle Ridge Preserve – East Property Mitigation Area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving the Contract for Transfer and Performance of Mitigation Services, the Agreement Regarding Acquisition of Off-Site Mitigation Property to Accommodate Drainage Ditch Maintenance Obligations, and the Perpetual Conservation Easement Endowment Agreement for Eagle Ridge Preserve – East Property Mitigation Area.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
All costs to prepare these agreements are borne by the Landowner. There is no impact to the General Fund. The endowment fund will be paid by the Landowner on behalf of the City.
DESCRIPTION:
The owner of the property adjacent to Old Fallon Road, commonly known as Croak Road, GH Pac Vest, LLC (Landowner), has proposed to clean out the existing ditch between the eastern edge of pavement of Croak Road and the Landowner’s fence, as well as replace a storm drain pipe culvert and install rock slope protection to reduce drainage issues on the Landowner’s property, as depicted in the site plan (Attachment 5).
Because the proposed improvements are located within property owned by the City (Croak Road street right-of-way), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and the San 154
Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (collectively, the resource agencies) require that the City be the permittee and project sponsor. The proposed improvements will impact existing wetlands and habitat for California Red-Legged Frog (CRLF). To mitigate for these impacts, the Landowner has identified a suitable site located in the Eagle Ridge Preserve – East Property in the counties of Contra Costa and Alameda, as depicted in Attachment 6.
The owner of the Eagle Ridge Preserve – East Property is Rocky Ridge, LLC and the land manager is Golden State Land Conservancy. The City will enter into an agreement with Rocky Ridge, LLC to establish the mitigation area, which is approximately 3.003 acres of upland habitat for CRLF and
1.001 acres for jurisdictional seasonal wetlands. The City will also enter into an agreement with Golden State Land Conservancy to manage, maintain, and monitor the mitigation area in perpetuity.
The Landowner will provide the funds for the establishment of the mitigation area and for the endowment for the perpetual management of the mitigation area for a total amount of $1,191,192.57.
Construction of the proposed improvements is anticipated to begin in September, pending issuance of permits from the resource agencies.

Croak Road Ditch/Drainage Maintenance Project Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ 1 Olberding Environmental March 2022
1.0 SUMMARY
1.1 Summary
Olberding Environmental, Inc. (Olberding Environmental) has prepared this Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan (MMP) on behalf of the City of Dublin (Permittee) to provide compensatory mitigation for impact s to wetland habi tat resulting from the Croak Road Ditch/Dr ainage Maintenance Project (Project).
The Project is located within the City of Dublin, along the east shoulder of Croak Road, north of Interstate 580 (I -580). The Project Area encompasses approximately 1.69 a cres (Attachment 1, Figure 1-4). The northe rn boundary of the Project Area is located at the intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Croak Road, and the Project Area runs south for appr oximately 1,200 feet along Croak Road before terminating.
The proposed Project involves the excavation of accumulated sediment (233 cu bic yards) from an existing engineered roadside ditch, reestablishing the historic capacity and function within the City of Dublin drainage facility. The ditch, located along the eastern embankment of Croak Road, historically conveyed stormwater runoff from the surrounding hillsides now containing the Jordan Ranch and Positano Development Projects. Accumulated sediment has completely filled a majority of the ditch extending from the intersection of Croak Road and Dublin Boulevard south, to the culverted crossing of Croak Road where it parallels the I -580 Freeway. Due to the buildup of sediment in the ditch, flows are now redirected across the adjacent property (Chen Property).
Proposed maintenance (removal of sediment and reestablishment of the original engineered configuration of the ditch) and replacement of the buried culvert under Croak Road, would restore the deteriorated facility to its historic function.
The Project will result in the permanent fill of jur isdictional wetland/waters that total 0.501 acre (97.7 cubic yards) (Attachment 1, Fig ure 8). The 0.501 acre of perm anently impacted wetlands will be mitigate d at a 2:1 ratio ( 1.002 acre) and const ructed within the nearby Eagle Ridge Preserve – East Property.
This MMP includes summary information about the Mitigation Property ; objectives for the compensatory replacement, implementation specificat ions, inc luding underlying rationale for expecting success; maintenance and monitoring provisions, and contingency measures.
The wetland mitigation a nd monitoring plan presented herein is subje ct to approval by the regulatory agencies, which includes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) , and the Cal ifornia Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).

1.3 Project Description
The proposed Project involves the excavation of accumulated sediment (233 cu bic yards) from an existing engineered roadside ditch, reestablishing the historic capacity and function within the City of Dublin drainage facility. The di tch, located along the eastern embankment of Croak Road, historically conveyed stormwater runoff from the surrounding hillsides now containing the Jordan Ranch and Positano Development Projects. Accumulated sediment has completely filled a majority of the ditch extending from the intersection of Croak Road and Dublin Boulevard south, to the culverted crossing of Croak Road where it parallels the I-580 Freeway. Due to the buildup of sediment in the ditch, flows are now redirected across the adjac ent property (Chen Property) and a portion or Croak R oad. Proposed maintenance (removal of sediment and reestablishment of the original engineered configuration of the ditch) would rest ore the deteriorated facility to its historic function. Attachment 1, Figures 7 and 8, depict the Project’s impacts and mitigation.
The Project will result in the permanent fi ll o f Waters of th e State that total 0. 501 acre (97.7 cubic yards) of wetlands/waters resulting from Project development.
As shown in Table 1 below, there would be i mpacts to two juris dictional features, one lar ge freshwater emergent wetland, and one small seasonal wetland swale, totaling 0.501 acre. These permanently impacted wetland/waters would be mitigated at a 2:1 ratio (1.002 acres)

The mitigation requirement is to create 1.002 acres of seasonal wetland habitat. The Permittee is proposing to establish ( create) 1.002 acre of jurisdictional wetlands within nearby Eagle Ridge Preserve – East Property (Mitigation Property) (Attachment 1, Figure 9). Proposed m itigation will be provided through construction (establishment/creation) of seasonal wetland habitat.
2.0 OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of the Mitigation Property is to provide compensatory mitigation for un - avoidable impac ts through the establishment of seasonal wetlands. A summary of mitigation activities is included below in Table 2.
2.1 Habitat Establishment (Creation)
Establishment (creation) means the manipulation of the physical, chemical, or biologic al characteristics prese nt to develop a natural resource that did not previously exist at an upland site. Establishment results in a gain in natural resource area and functions.
The mitigation requirement is to create 1.002 acre of seasonal wetland habitat. The Permittee is proposing to establish (create) 1.002 acre of jurisdictional seasonal wetlands within the nearby Eagle Ridge Preserve – East Property.
2.1.1 Seasonal Wetland Establishment
Seasonal wetlands will be established (c reated) by excavating and grading depressions in formerly upland areas. Excavation and grading will expose the clay soils t o rainfall and storm water flows that will typically pond and/or saturate the root zone on a seasonal basis during the late winter through early spring months. Construction of the wet land features in these areas will include compaction of the clay layer to reduce infiltration. The goal is to provide the characteristic interception of precipitation and overland flow into s easonal wetland s t hat w ill help to ensure habitat diversity and ecosystem health.

Croak Road Ditch/Drainage Maintenance Project Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Olberding Environmental March 2022 6 3.0 BASELINE INFORMATION
3.1 Location
The Project is located in Dublin, Alameda County, Calif ornia, while the Mitigation Property is located between Dublin, and Livermore, in Alameda County, California. The Project area is bordered by I-580 to the south, the newly developed Jordan Ranch parcel to the north, the Chen Property to the east, and Fallon Road to t he west. The Mitigation Property is located between Manning Road and Collier Canyon Road, approximatel y 3.5 miles north of I-580 (Attachment 1, Figures 1-5). Representative p hotographs of the Project site and Mitigation Property can be found in Attachment 2.
The Project Area is located within Section 2, Township 03 South, Range 01 East, and the Mitigation Property is located within Section 18, Township 02 South, Range 02 East Mount Diablo Base and Meridian as shown on the United States Geologica l Survey (USGS) Livermore and Tassajara 7.5-minute quadrangles (Attachment 1, Figure 3).
Access to the Project Area is provided from Interstate 580. From 580, take the El Charro/Fallon Road exit and make a left onto Fallon Road. Travel north for 0.5 mi les then make a right onto Croak Road, the Project Area will be found on the right.
Access to the Mitigation Property is provided by taking Interstate -580 East from Interstate -680.
Take exit 52B for North Livermore Avenue toward L ivermore. Turn left (north) at N orth Livermore Avenue and follow it for 3.6 miles. Turn left (west) at Manning Road and follow it for 1.2 miles before turning left (south) onto the Eagle Ridge Preserve – East Property.
3.2 Landscape Position
The Project A rea is located within the L ivermore Valley, near the base of a s eries of hills. Th e topography within the Project Area is generally flat, as it is within an alluvial plain. Soils were formed f rom allu vium derived from sandstone and shale, and residuum weathere d from calcareous shale. The Project Area is located along the I-580 corridor between the city centers of Dublin and Livermore.
The Mitigation Property is located within the hills north of the Livermore Valley. The western portion of the Mitigation Property is flat, with a shallow wetland swale feature flowing north to south. The remainder of the Mitigation Property gradually slopes up to the east.
3.3 Topography and Elevations
The topography of the Project Area i s generally flat. There is a gradual gradient sloping south along Croak Road, and the road surface is slightly elevated from th e adjacent roadside ditch. 187
Croak Road Ditch/Drainage Maintenance Project Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ Olberding Environmental March 2022 7 Elevation ranges from approximately 365 feet above sea level in the north and appr oximately 355 feet above sea level in the south of the Project Area.
The western portion of the Mitigation Property is flat, with an elevation of approximately 730 feet above sea level. A shallow wetland feature bisects the Mitigation Property, flowing north to south. The Mitigation Property gradually slopes up to the east to approximately 755 fe et above sea level.
3.4 Watershed Description
The Project Area is located within the San F rancisco Bay 8 -digit hydrologic unit code (HUC 18050004) and the Lower Arroyo Mocho 12-digit HUC (180500040302) which is approximately 32,593 acres in size. Thi s HUC drains the southern part of Liverm ore, the area north of Pleasanton, the a rea east of Dublin, and i ncludes the area north of Tassajara. The wetland features located within the Project Area are not directly connected to Arr oyo Mocho, as they enter the local storm drain system. A detailed hydrology report can be found in Attachment 3.
The Mitigation Property is located within the San Francisco Bay 8 -digit h ydrologic unit code (HUC 18050004). This HUC includes all of the South San Francisco Bay, eastward to include most of Alameda County. More locally, the Property is within the Lower Arroyo Las Positas 12- digit hydrologic unit code (HUC 18050040203). This HUC includes most of the Livermore area, north and south of I-580.
3.5 Climate and Precipitation
The Livermore Valley of California is characterized by a Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers and a mild, wet winter. In a typical year, two thirds of the precipitation falls during the “rainy season” of November through February. The valley runs in an east to west direction with hills and low mountains surrounding it. The valley is located approximately 12 miles inland from the San Francisco Bay and approximately 25 miles south of the Suisun Bay.
The annual average rainfall f or the L ivermore area is 14.92 inches (NOAA 2021). Mean maximum temperatures range from a low of 57 degrees Fahrenheit in December and January and a high of 87 degrees Fahrenheit in July and August (NOAA 2021).
3.6 Soils
The USDA Natura l Resources Conservation Servi ce ( formerly the Soil Conservation Service) mapped soil types within the County (NRCS 2022). The Project Area contains one soil type:
• RdA: Rincon clay loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes
188
Croak Road Ditch/Drainage Maintenance Project Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ Olberding Environmental March 2022 8 Two soil types are found within the Mitigation Property:
• LaD: Linne clay loam, 15 to 30 percent slopes, MLRA 15 • Pb & Pd: Pescadero clay loam, 0 to 6 percent slopes, MLRA 14 The Rincon clay loam is not classified as a Hydric Soil, but both the Linne clay loam and the Pescadero clay loam soils are classified as Hydric Soils (NRCS 2022). Hydric soils are defined by the Nat ional Technical Committe e for Hydric Soils as soils that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or p onding long enough during t he growing season to develop anoxic conditions in the upper part.
3.7 Historic, Existing, and Surrounding Land Uses
The Project Area has existed in a si milar state for several decades, consisting of a pa ved road with a n adjacen t roadside ditch. In the early 2000’ s several residential and commercial developments in the area started development, with the most recent develop ment finishing construction in 2018. The Mitigation Property has also existed in a similar state for several decades, consisting of open grazing and grassland habitat.
3.8 Cultural
A cultural study was conducted by Peak & Associates, Inc. in 2021 and the report concluded that there are no known histo rical sites within the Project Area. If archeolo gical dis coveries are encountered during the course of construction, various mitigation measures will be implemented, and an archeological mitigation plan will be prepared.
3.9 Vegetation
A wetland delineation of the Project Area was conducted in 2018 and found that the Project site supports four habitat types that consist of developed, freshwater emergent wetland, ruderal, and seasonal wetland swale. A wetland delineation of the Mitigation Property was conducted in 2021 and found that the Mitigation Property supports two habitat types that consist of annual grassland and a seasonal wetland swale. Generalized plant community classifications were used to classify the habitat types found on the Property. The final cla ssification and char acterization of the habitat types of the Project Area and Mitigation Property were based on field observations.
3.9.1 Project Area Habitat Types
Developed
The developed habitat on the Project consists of the paved road -base of Croak Road. There is little to no vegetation growing in these areas. Some ruderal species are located along the edge of the road, or growing from cracks in the pavement, an d include Italian ryegrass (Festuca perennis) and rip gut brome (Bromus diandrus).
189
Croak Road Ditch/Drainage Maintenance Project Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ Olberding Environmental March 2022 9 Freshwater Emergent Wetlan d
There is a large freshwater emergent wetland that runs north to south, parallel and adjacent to Croak Roa d. Domi nant vegetation within this featu re i ncludes narrow lea f cat tail ( Typha latifolia), curly dock ( Rumex crispus), Italian rye grass (Festuca perennis), baltic rush ( Juncus balticus), flatsed ge ( Cyperuss eragrostis), Mediterranean barley ( Hordeum marnium ), and rabbit’s foot grass ( Polypogon mons peliensis). This emergent wetland c ontinues onto the adjacent Chen Property.
Ruderal/Annual Gr assland
There is a small area of ruderal habitat south of Croak Road, but still within the city right-of- way. This area is s urrounding a culvert and consists of hi ghly disturbed and ruderal vegetation including wild oat ( Avena fatua) , perennial pepperweed ( Lepidium latifoliu m), b lack mustard (Brassica nigra), yellow star thistle ( Centaurea solstitialis), and rip gut brome. A large portion of the Chen Property ad jacent to the Pr oject site is currently u ndeveloped grazing la nd.
Vegetation in this area includes wild oat, soft chess (Bromus hordeaceous), rip gut brome, Italian rye grass, yellow star thistle, and Mediterranean linseed (Bellardis trixago).
Seasonal Wetland S wale
There is a small seasonal wetland swale located at the very south end of the Project Area. This feature is the outlet fo r the culvert that flows under Croak Road. This feature was domi nated by vegetation such as Baltic rush, Mediterr anean barley, cu rly dock, and wild radish ( Raphanus raphanistrum).
3.9.2 Mitigation Property Habitat Types
Annual Grassland
Most of the Mitigation Property consists of annual grassl and habitat that is regularly grazed by cattle. This annual grassland habitat is dominated by non-native annual grasses and forbs such as wild oat, ripgut brome ( Bromus diandrus ), wa ll barley ( Hordeum murinum ), Italian ryegrass , black mustard , milk thistle ( Silybum marianum ), heron bill filaree ( Erodium cicutarium ), and California burclover (Medicago polymorpha).
Seasonal Wetland S wale
There is a long, linear seasonal wetland feature that bisects the Mitigation Property. This feature begins at the fence line on the north boundary of the Eagle Ridge Preserve – East Property. There is a small, 6-inch culvert that runs under Manning Road that feeds the feature. The swale then flows southwest off the Property through one of two culverts and into the West Branch of Cayetano Creek. While the north end of this feature is unvegetated due to cattle grazing and wallowing, t he rest of this feature is vegetated largel y with Mediterranean ba rley and some annual grassland species. This feature is very shallow with berms of onl y 2 – 4 inches but ha s a distinct change in vegetation along its boundary.

Croak Road Ditch/Drainage Maintenance Project Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ Olberding Environmental March 2022 10 3.10 Wetlands/Waters of the U.S.
Hydrological characteristics, flow, and connectivity of the Project Area were determined in 2018 during a wetland delineation following USACE standard protocol on the Property and surrounding areas under the same owner ship. The delineation has not been verified but it identified the pre sence of approximately 0.542 acre of wetlands within the study area as shown on Attachment 1, Figure 6.
Hydrological characteristics, flow, and connectivity of the Mitigation Property were determined in 2021 durin g a wetland delineation following USACE standard protocol on the Property and surrounding areas under the same ownership. The delineation was verified on May 17, 2021 and includes the se asonal wetland swale that bisects the Mitigation Property (Attachment 1, Figure 7).
3.11 Special-Status Species
A Biological Resource Assessment was completed by Olberding Environmental in 2016 for the Project Area and in 2022 for the Mitigation Property and found that the Property has t he potential to support numerous special s tatus plants and animals . Th e p resence of seasonal wetlands on the Property supports a wide variety of wildlife. S pecial-status species with the potential to occur are listed below.
• Prostrate Vernal Pool Navarretia ( Navarretia prostrata) CNPS 1B. This spec ies is found in vernal pools and similar habitats. There is a recorded CNDDB occurrence of this species within the Project Area. The freshwater emergent wetland habitat found east of Croak Road provides suitable habitat for this species in the Project Area. This species is not anticipated to occur within the Mitigation Property. • San Joaquin Spearscale ( Atriplex joaquiniana). CNPS List 1B. This species is found among chenopod scrub, meadows, s eeps, playas, and valley and foothill grasslands with alkaline soils. The freshwater emergent wetland habitat found east of Croa k Road provides suitable habitat fo r this species within the Project Area . A CNDDB occurrence of this species occurs immediately west of the Mitigation Property, and may occur within the Mitigation Property.
• Congdon’s Tarplant (Centromadia parryi ssp. congdonii). CNPS List 1B. This species typically oc curs in valley and foothill grasslands in moist alkaline soils . There is a recorded CNDDB occurrence of this species wi thin the Pr oject Area. The freshwater emergent wetland habitat found e ast of Cr oak Roa d provi des suitable habitat for this species within the Project Area . An extant CNDDB occurrence of this species overlaps with part of th e Eagle Ridge Preserve – East Property, therefore it is considered present within the Mitigation Property.

Federally T hreatened, California Species of Special Concern. This species is found in lowlands , foothill woodland and gras slands, near marshes, la kes, ponds, or other water sources. These amphibians require dense shrubby or emergent vegetation closely associated with deep still or slow moving water. Generally, these frogs favor intermittent streams with water at least two and a half feet deep and where the shoreline has relatively intact emergent or shoreline vegetation. CRLF is known from streams with relatively low gradients and those waters where introduced fish and bullfrogs are absent. There is a recorded CNDDB occurrence of this species wi thin the P roject Area. The freshwater emergent wetland habitat found east of Croak Road provi des suitable habitat for this spe cies within the Project Area. There is a CNDDB occurrence of this species immediately adjacent to the Mitigation Property. Due to the close proximity of recent and nearby occurrences, there is a h igh potential for CRLF to use the Mitigation Property in a dispersal and upland capacity.
• California Tiger Salamander ( Ambystoma calif orniense). Federally Threatened, State Threat ened. This species prefer s vernal pools and other temporary ponds as breeding pools. However, they may also use permanent manmade ponds as breedi ng habitat. A minimum of ten wee ks is required to complete larval development through metamorphosis, at which time the larvae will normally w eigh about ten grams. The freshwater emergent wetland habitat found east of Croak Road provi des suitable habitat for this species within the Project Area. The Mitigation Property does not contain suitable CTS breeding ponds; however, the grassland habi tat within the site contained structural features such as small mammal burrows that could provide suitable upland habitat w ithin a close proximity to known CTS breeding ponds. For these reasons, there is a high potential for CTS to occur within the Mitigation Property. • Burrowing Owl ( Athene cunicularia ). California Sp ecies of Special Concern.
Burrowing owls are ground dwelling members of the owl family and are small brown to tan colored birds with bold spots and barring. Burrowing owls generally require open annual grassland habitats in which to nest, but can be found on abandoned lots, roads, airports, and other urban areas. Burrowing owls generally use abandoned California ground squirrel holes for their nesting burrow, but are also known to use pipes or other debris for nesting purposes. Burrowing owls prefer annual grassland habitats with low vegetative cover. A CNDDB occurrence of this species is located east of the Mitigation Property.
Wintering owls have been observed just west of the site at Eagle Ridge Preserve for many years, most recently in November 2018. The Mitigation Propert y contains similar soil composition and grassland habitat as the adjacent Eagle Ridge Preserve to the west of the site. Additionally, the grasslands within the Mitigation Property provide suitable foraging habitat within the site, and the ample acti ve ground squirrel burrow complexes 192
Croak Road Ditch/Drainage Maintenance Project Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ Olberding Environmental March 2022 12 onsite create suitable breed ing habitat for burrowing owl. For these reasons, burrowing owl may occur in the Mitigation Property in a breeding and foraging capacity. • Red-shouldered Hawk ( Buteo lineatus ). State Protected. This medium-sized raptor’s habitat varies from bottomland hardwoods and riparian areas to upland deciduous or mixed deciduous-conifer forest, and almost always includes some form of water, such as a swamp, marsh, river, or pond. A red-shouldered hawk has been previously observed on the adjacent property to the Project Area. T he f reshwater emergent wetland ha bitat provides potential foraging habitat for the species in the Project Area. This species has also been observed foraging in the Mitigation Property , and is present in a foraging capacity.
• Red-Tailed Hawk ( Buteo jamaicensis ). State Protected. This large raptor forages among grassland habitat, and nest s within large trees. This spec ies has been obser ved foraging within the Chen Property, adjacent to the Project Area. The freshwater emergent wetland and ruderal habitat provide potential foraging habita t for this species in the Project Area. This speci es has been frequently observed foraging in the Mitigation Property and has been recently observed nesting in the Eucalyptus trees immed iately south of the Mitigation Property. Therefore, this species is present within the Mitigation Property.
• Prairie Falcon (Falco mexicanus). California Species of Special Concern. This raptor is known to inhabit dry open terrain either in level or hilly habitats. Prairie falcons nest on cliffs, but will forage far afield. Similar in appearance to the female of the smaller merlin ( Falco columbarius), it s hows a darker facial stripe than the merlin. The wings and tail ar e pale brown and the unders ide is cream -colored and heavily spotted. Prey species are birds and small mammals. This species has a high potential to forage across the Mitigation Property, but there is no potential for nesting. • American Kestrel (Falco sparverius). State Protected. This small raptor forages among open areas with short ground vegetation and sparse trees including meadows, grasslands, deserts, parks, farm fields, cities, and suburbs. Kestrels utilize cavities in trees for nesting and hunt small rodents and birds. This species was observed foraging within the Chen Property, adjacent to the Project Area. The freshwater emergent wetland and ruderal habitat provide potential foraging habitat for this species in the Project Area. This species has been frequently observed foraging in the Mitigation Property , and is present in a foraging capacity.
• White-tailed Kite ( Elanus leucurus), CDFW Fully Protected. This small hawk is found a mong various grassland habitats, including undisturbed, open grasslands, 193
Croak Road Ditch/Drainage Maintenance Project Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ Olberding Environmental March 2022 13 meadows, farmlands, and emergent wet lands. Nests are typi cally placed near the top of dense tree stands such as oak or willow and are located near foraging areas. The freshwater emergent wetland provides potential foraging habita t for this species on the Project Area. White-tailed kites have been frequ ently obse rved foraging in and around the Mitigation Property during survey events. There are several large willow trees within the riparian habitat near to the Mitigation Property that could be suitable nest sites for white-tailed kite. For these reaso ns, whi te-tailed kite has a high potential to occur in a foraging capacity.
• Loggerhead Shrike (Lanius ludovicianus ). Federal Species of Specia l Con cern, California Species of Special Concern. This small to medium sized bird prefers open habitats with scattered shrubs, trees, posts, fences, utility lines, or other perches. It occurs only rarely in heavily urbanized areas, but is often found in open cr opland. These birds use shrubs, dense trees, and thickets of vegetation for nesting sites. The freshwater emergent wetland and ruderal habitat provide potential foraging habitat for this species in the Project Area. This species has been observed foraging in the Mitigation Property, and is present in a foraging capacity.
• Tricolored Blackbird ( Agelaius tricolor ). Federal Species of Special Concern, California Species of Special Concern. This small to medium s ized bird is highly colonial and nests in marshy habitats, often in large stands of blackberry and cattail. The freshwater emergent wetland habitat provides pot ential nesting habitat for this species in the Project Area. F oraging opportunities exist across the Mitigation Property for this species. This species may occur in a foraging capacity in the Mitigation Property. • Golden Eagle ( Aquila chrysaetos ). California Fully Pr otected. The golden eagle is typically found in open grasslands, pastures, and oak woodland, often near lakes and rivers. Their plumage is dark brown overall, with some white at the base of the tail, and golden-to-blonde feathers on the nape of the neck. The bill and t alons are black and the cere (soft membrane that covers the nostrils) and feet are yel low. T here are three CNDDB occurrences of this s pecies located near the Mitigation Property. Additionally, golden eagles have been observed foraging within the a djacent Eagle Ridge Preserve during several survey events. For these reasons, g olden eagle is present in the Mitigation Property in a foraging capacity only.
• American Badger (Taxidea taxus). California Species of Special Concern. This large member of the weasel family has a flat body with short legs ideally suited to digging burrows. Found in open plains, prairies, forests and grasslands, this species feeds on ground squirrels, mice, and gophers. Badgers mate between July and August, but do not give bi rth until March. There is a CNDDB occurrence of this species located 194
Croak Road Ditch/Drainage Maintenance Project Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ Olberding Environmental March 2022 14 approximately 3 miles west of the Mitigation Property, 1.7 miles south of the junction of Tassajara Road and Highland Road. Signs of a badger were observed at this location in 1992. The annua l grassland within the Mitigation Property is suitable habitat for American badger. Additionally, signs of badgers and their remains have been observed within the Mitigation Property and badgers have been observed in the adjacent Eagle Ridge Preserve. For these reasons, American badger may occur in the Mitigation Property.
• San Joaquin Kit Fox ( Vulpes macrotis ). Federally Threatened , California. The San Joaquin kit fox (SJKF) has a slim body with large, conspicuous ears, and a long, bushy, black tipped tail. It is the smallest canid species in North America. The SJKF l ives in annual grassland habitats where friable soils are presen t in which they may excavate den sites. The general habitat requirement for the kit fox is annual grasslands or grassy open habitat sta ges with scattered shrubby vegetation. Food requirements for the SJKF are rodents, insects, and even garbage in urbanized a reas. Grassland habitats with a large rodent prey base and loose textured soils are thought to provide the best habitat for the SJKF. There are two historic CNDDB occurrences in the vicinity of the Mitigation Property. The grassland habitat is considered to be somewhat suitable for SJKF, especially considering the abundance of ground squirrel burrow complexes. However, due to the lack of re cent sightings within the Livermore Valley area, SJKF will mo st likely occur in the Mitigation Property in a dispersal capacity only.
4.0 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
This secti on presents the Implementation Plan for the mitigation hab itat. H abitat c reation (establishment) will include the construction of a low gradient wetland depressional feature that will develop into seasonal wetland habitat.
Prior to implementation of the wetland construction activities, a qualified biologist will conduct surveys to assess the possible presence of species that may b e i mpacted by construction activities. Work onsite may occur during avian nesting periods; if active nests are observed during wildlife surveys, a suitable buffer will be established to ensur e that active nests are not negatively impacted during implementation of the construction activities.
4.1 Implementation Approach and Sequence
This section summarizes wetlands creation activities and sequencing and ide ntifies the responsibilities of th e Project Biologist and Restoration C ontractor. References to sections providing more detailed information on topics covered are included. The Mitigation Plan shows the areas where wetland creation will occur within the nearby Eagle Ridge Preserve – East Property (See Figure 9). A cross section of the target wetland topography is also on this figure. 195
Croak Road Ditch/Drainage Maintenance Project Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ Olberding Environmental March 2022 15 Upon completion of construction, installation of fencing, gates and signs will also occur where needed along the perimeter of the Mitigation Property . As-built plan survey activi ties and reporting will also be conducted at completion of work.
4.2 Site Preparation
The w etland establishment site will first be mowed close to the ground and the upper 4 to 6 inches of soil will be excavated an d stockpiled at designated upland locations; this soil will subsequently be spread on the new wetlands to provide organic ma tter and potentially wetland plant seed material to the newly established wetland mitigation habitat.
4.3 Grading
The seasonal wetland s will be mass -graded/excavated using a rubber -tired earth mover to form bottom microtopography and side slopes. Excavat ed materi al will be temporarily stockpiled onsite and will be mounded as a balanced cut-and-fill project.
Finish gra ding will involve grad ing along the edges of an excavated area to tie into existing topography and grading the bottom of the created wetlan d area to provide the appropriate flat topographic relief (<1 -2 percent slope) for wetland hydrology, soil, and plant development.
Grading activities will be monitored by a grade checker using a hand leve l to ensure that the constructed wetlands meet the design criteria. The grade checke r will be u nder the direction of the Project Biologist.
4.4 Revegetation of Disturbed Areas
The created wetland will be seeded with a native seed mix to e nhance wetland veget ation growth. Seeding with native seed mix ( Table 3), coupled with natural colonization by species from seed sources in the existing soils will bring in a mix of both native and non- native species.
The established wetlands are expected to show significant vegetative growth within 3 to 4 years.
Species selected f or the wetland and upland seed mixes were chosen based on their re spective wetland indicator statuses a nd the ability to survive in alkaline/salin e environments. To ensure suitability to the conditi ons at the Project site, many of the species chosen for both t he wetland and upland seed mixes have a moderate to high salt tolerance.
Hydrophytic plant species , or those with an indicator status of FAC, FACW, o r OBL, were chosen for the wetland seed mix as they are more suited to frequent saturation and/or inundation.
Most of the species selected for the upland seed mix have a wetland indicator statu s of FAC, FACU, or UPL as they are more suited to dry conditions.
The areas to be seeded will be harrowed a fter finish grad ing to achieve a one to two- inch deep friable seed bed. The seed m ix will be broadcast at the specified rates and lightly harrowed into 196
Croak Road Ditch/Drainage Maintenance Project Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ Olberding Environmental March 2022 16 the seed bed to achieve good seed to soil contact. Any erosion control BMPs including fabric and straw wattle installation will occur after broadcast of seed but before application of hydromulch.
A mixture of hydromulch, tackifier, and water at appropri ate rates will be sprayed with a trailer or truck mount ed hydroseeder over the top of the seeded soil bed. Seeding is planned to occur right before the rainy season (i.e., September/October) or e arly in the rainy season (i.e., November). It is anticipated th at wetland p lant species will colonize rapidly during t he winter/spring following construction.

4.5 Implementation Schedule
Construction of the mitigation habitat is planned 2022 depending on receipt of permits and authorizations. Because the established wetlands will no t receive supp lemental irrigation water , the s eeding timing is important. Due to the unpredictabil ity of the rainy season, the Proj ect Biologist will schedule the seeding. After initial planting and seeding is complete, the site will be maintained and managed by activities described in this MMP.
4.6 Documentation of As-Built Conditions
Within 60-days after wetland construction is complete; a post-construction as-built survey will be prepared and submitted to USACE. This report will include:
• The as-built plan based on the post-construction survey. • Description of construction activities, paying particular a ttention to any adjustme nts to the installation plan.
• Photo-documentation of construction activities, as we ll as identific ation of permanent photo point locations.
5.0 MAINTENANCE PLAN
Maintenance will be required in order for the ecological functions and values of the site to meet and/or exceed performance expectations. Maintenance shall be considered habitat management where an adaptive management strategy is employed, and multiple a spects of t he Mitigation Property are evaluated in order to determine th e mos t f easible and desirable maintena nce pathway.
Maintenance activities will be conducted during the five-year establishment period.
5.1 Pest Plant and Wildlife Species
Plant and wildlife species considered to be a threat to the mitigation will be subject to monitoring and control.
Control of nuisance plants may include the use of specific herbicides. Herbicide application is allowed, but only to control small, localized stands of nuisance vegetation. M anual or mechanical control activ ities will be considered first and will be evalua ted for reduced species impacts compared t o herbicides. They may also be uti lized if a n herbicide a pplication is 198
Croak Road Ditch/Drainage Maintenance Project Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ Olberding Environmental March 2022 18 determined not to be feasible or desirable by the Land Manager. Manual methods include hand pull or the use of handheld tools to remove nuisa nce vegetation . Mechanical methods may include mowing with string trimmer or deck mower as determined by the Land Manager.
The following specifications must be ad hered to prior to application of herbicides within the Mitigation Property.
• Herbicide applicat ion is allowable but should only be considered feasible after manual and me chanical methods have been r uled out. Application of herbicides will b e accomplished in accordance with the following standards:
o Herbicides will be used o nly by a qualified and lic ensed applic ator (QAL) and only applied according to a licensed pest control advisor (PCA) recommendation. o Under the direction of the Land Manage r, a biologica l monitor will accompany sprayers to prevent impacts to non-target native vegetation that is to be retained. o Target vegetation will only be sprayed using EPA -approved herbicides which are recommended for use in wetlands.
o Small spot treatments will be prior itized over l arge-scale broadcast methods t o minimize the footprint of the herbicide application.
• If manua l and mechanical efforts are not ef fective, herbicide may be us ed to target nuisance plant species found on the Property. Nuisance spe cies are defin ed as Cal-IPC high species and moderate broadleaf species. Nuisance sp ecies found within the Property include yellow star thistle, black mustard, bull thistle ( Cirsium vulgare), artichoke thistle (Cynara cardunculus ), and stinkwort ( Dittrichia graveolens ). S tudies have s hown chlorsulfuron (Telar brand) to be a highly effecti ve pre-emergent herbicide that specifically targets broadleaf species, su ch as yellow star thistle . Utilizing a selective herbicide such as chlorsulfuron should be priori tized above using a non- selective herbicide such as glyphosate; however, glyphosate m ay be a viable option as a last resort if all other control efforts are ineffective, or if other wise determin ed by adaptive management.
5.2 Fencing
Fencing to exclude unwanted human activity from the Mitigation Property will be maintained in good condition to prevent unauthorized encroachment. Site fencing will consist of fi ve-strand barb wire wi th t-posts installed at ten feet on center. All new fence that is constructed will be wildlife friendly in that the top and bottom strands will be smooth, and the bottom strand will be no less than 16 inches above the ground.

Croak Road Ditch/Drainage Maintenance Project Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ Olberding Environmental March 2022 19 6.0 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
This section presents the performance standards th at need to be achieved bef ore the compensatory mitigation activities ca n be deemed successful. Annual monitoring re sults will be compared with performance standards to indicate the extent to which the Mitigation Property is developing s uitable wetland habitat. If annual monitoring results fall belo w performance standards, the cau se will be investigated by the Project Biologist a nd adaptive management recommendations will be proposed to remedia te the deficit and attain compliance with the final performance standards.
The seasonal wetland habitat will be monitored, and the results will be compared against performance standards b elow to ensure the site provides high quality ecological functions and values. T here w ill be six performance standards for the created habitat with in the Mitigation Property (Table 5):
• PS-1 - The frequency o f inundation and/or saturation w ill be a minimum of 18.25 continuous days per year within the established (created) wetland habitat. • PS-2 - The established (created) wetland habitat will sho w evidence of ponding in photographs.
• PS-3 – The established (crea ted) wet land habitat will show an increase in vegetativ e cover over 5 years. The wetland will have at least 75% absolute cover by Year 5. • PS-4 – The established (created) wetland habitat will have a minimum of 51 percent absolute cover of OBL, FACW, and FAC species by Year 5. • PS-5 – The established (created) wetland habi tat will meet all three Corps criteria in Years that a wetland delineation is performed (Years 3 and 5). • PS-6 – Nuisance pl ant species cover on the overall site will not be greater th an 10 percent. Nuisance plant species will be thos e that have a “high” rating by Cal-IPC or are “moderate” broadleaf species.
7.0 MONITORING AND REPORTING
Monitoring and reporting f or performance will occ ur for a minimum of 5- years for wetlands/waters or until a ttainment of performance standards. If performance standards are no t met by the end of the stated monitoring and management period for a given habitat t ype, then monitoring can be extended into future years until performance standards are attained, remedial actions may occur, or compensatory mit igation may be required thr ough another mitigation mechanism to make up the difference.
200
Croak Road Ditch/Drainage Maintenance Project Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ Olberding Environmental March 2022 20 The monitoring objectives:
1. Track habitat progress towards meeting the performance standards, and
2. Identify and remedy any problems that could impact the success of the mitigation effort and/or compromise the ecological functions and values of the site.
The m onitoring protocol and results will be r eviewed annually. Adjus tments to monitoring procedures may be required as the site changes over time, or if logistical problems r ender a procedure unduly difficult to conduct. Such adjustments will be discussed with the regulatory agencies as necessary. Af ter reviewing the monitoring reports, the regulatory agencies may also have suggestions for adjusting the monitoring progr am. Regulatory agency suggestions will be reviewed and, if appropriate, incorporated into the following year's monitoring program. The key is to anticipate that the monitoring program may need occasional adjustments to remain accurate, complete, and feasible.

Croak Road Ditch/Drainage Maintenance Project Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Olberding Environmental March 2022 22 7.1 Seasonal Wetland Monitoring
Hydrology data will be collected from the established (created ) habitat to coincide with the California rainy season (i.e., Sept/Oct to Apr/May). The first hydrology data collection event will occur with the onset of fall rains no more than two weeks after the first soaking r ain event (i.e., one inch of rain in 24 ho urs). Hydrology monitoring will occur at least monthly during the rainy season and will not end until bankfull ponding is documented with a photograph and/or at least
18.25 days of ponding/saturation has occurred. Monthly hydrology monitoring events will occur until the wetlands are totally dry, presumably early- or mid-summer.
At each data collection event, w ater depths will be recor ded from staff ga uges which will be marked at one-inch increments and placed in the bottoms of the habitat features they are intended to provide data for or collected by hand with a measuring stick or ruler.
Monitoring of wetland vegetation using randomly placed one square meter quadrats will occur during the spring moni toring event. Quadrats will be placed randomly within the seasonal wetland habitats. Each plant species occurring within the quadrat will be recorded and assi gned an absolute co ver value. The ab solute percen t cover of bare ground and thatc h will also be recorded from each quadrat. Photos will be taken of the quadrats and a representative sample will be included in annual monitoring reports.
Photographic monitoring will also occur at each wet land data collection event from fixed photo points and any other relevant areas. Photos of actively ponded wetlands will be taken and provided in monitoring reports.
Annual precipitation data will be obtained from the closest climatological station and included in monitoring reports.
Vegetation, soil, and hydrologic conditions will be monitored using the USACE’ 1987 Wetlands Delineation M anual, the Corps’ Se ptember 2008 Regional Supplement to Corps of Engineers Wetland Deli neation Manual: Ari d West (Version 2.0) (Arid West Supplement), and relevant USACE guidance documents whereby field observations will be made in the wetlands during the rainy season until the wet land soil and hydrology cri teria are met. The percentage and depth of ponded water and/or soil saturation will be noted during monitoring visits. This informati on will be recorded on the Arid West field data sheet.
7.2 Non-Native Invasive Vegetation Monitoring
Plant species designated by the California Invasive Plant Council (Cal-IPC - https://www.cal- ipc.org/plants/inventory/) to be pl ant pests (impact rating of “ high”) will not be allowed to colonize and become established within the Mitigation Property. The percent cover of non-native invasive species wi ll come from qualitative plant community assessme nt, wetland deli neation 203
Croak Road Ditch/Drainage Maintenance Project Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ Olberding Environmental March 2022 23 vegetative data, direct observation, and/or photo documentation. Any problematic or new stands of non-native invasive vegetation will be p hotographed and described in the monitoring r eport along with recommendations for control and/or eradication.
7.3 Photo Documentation
Photo documentation will occur during all monitoring years from permanent photo stations that will be e stablished during construction and shown on the a s-built plan drawi ngs. Photo station locations will be selected to illustrate year -to-year progress in relation to the ex isting habit at.
Photo locations will be recorded with GPS equipment to ensure photos w ill be take n from the same location each year. Ph otographs will also be taken to record any events that may have a significant effect on the success of restoration, such as flood, fire, or vandalism. The location and direction of view of t he photo stations will be pr ovided with all monitoring reports. Color photocopies of the permanent photo st ations will be included as an attachment i n monitoring reports.
7.4 Annual Report
Habitat establishment monitoring reports summarizing the results of the monitoring effort will be submitted to the regulatory agencies by December 31 every year for the first 5 years.
The annual report will d ocument the degree to which the Mitigation Property is meeting the performance s tandards. The monitoring reports will descr ibe any deficie ncies in atta ining and maintaining performance standards and any remedial action proposed, approved, or performed. If remedial action(s) have been completed, the annual report will also evaluate the effectiveness of that action.
A final moni toring report sum marizing the mitigatio n project and evaluati ng the site's over all performance will be prepared and submitted at the end of monitoring (Year 5). The fi nal annual report will include a count and assessment of species. A final field visit will be conducted t o verify that onsite conditions are consistent with information documented in the annual reports.
The annual report will include the following information.

8.0 ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT/REMEDIAL MEASURES
Adaptive management is a strategy to deal with unexpected changes in site conditions, responsibilities, or p erformance of the site so th at the compensatory mitigatio n project achieves its objectives and ecological performance standards.
Potential problems that may trigger a need for ada ptive managem ent include failure to attain performance standa rds, fire, subs tantial infestation by non-native plants and animals, and unanticipated anthropogenic problems such as large-scale trespassing and vandalism.
The Project Biologist will regularly analyze site progress as part of monitoring and reporting and will suggest r emedial measures to address unforeseen changes in site co nditions or other components of the mitigation project.
If the an nual monitoring results indicate that the site is fallin g below perfor mance thresh old values, then remedial actions will be implemented and funded by the Permitt ee of the mitigation project. Remedial actions may include but are not limited to: replacement planting, additional 206

To: Wooi J. See Ferris, GH Pacvest
From: Mariana Mena, MacKay & Somps
Subject: Fallon 580 Property – East Dublin GH Pacvest
Hydrology and Hydraulics Calculations for the Ditch Re-Grading Purpose:
This memorandum is prepared to analyze and demonstrate that the proposed re-graded trapezoidal ditch at Old Fallon Road and Croak Road has adequate flow capacity to contain and convey the 10- year design storm. As part of the effort to restore the ditch drainage capacity, the existing 24” CMP culvert which is damaged and mostly buried will be replaced with a new 24” SD culvert will be installed under existing Croak Road to convey the re-graded ditch flows to the existing incised ditch on the south side of Croak Road within the Alameda property which is believed to the be the historical direction of ditch flow.
Background:
The existing roadside ditch is located along the east side of Old Fallon Road and flows from north to south along the western edge of the GH Pacvest property south of Central Parkway. The watershed limits tributary to the existing ditch are comprised of predominantly the open space drainage / pedestrian corridor that runs northeast to southwest through the middle of the existing Jordan Ranch and Positano residential communities. All the runoff from the surrounding Jordan Ranch and Positano developments on both side of the drainage corridor drain to hard-lined pipe systems; that ultimately drain west to the 84” SD trunk main that flows south within the Fallon Road right-of-way. The 84” SD trunk main was built with the Positano Development and sized to convey all the storm runoff flows from the fully developed communities of both Jordan Ranch and Positano. The watershed limits tributary to the 84” SD pipe are outlined per the Dublin Ranch Drainage Master Plan, exhibit titled “Master Drainage Plan Areas and Land Use” dated March 2006, refer to Appendix A. The watershed limits tributary to the existing ditch are illustrated in Appendix B “Existing Ditch Watershed Map”.
Methodology:
The hydrology calculations presented in this memorandum apply the “Rational Method”, which follow the procedures outlined in the Alameda County Hydrology and Hydraulics manual. A Rational Method analysis was performed for the watershed tributary to the existing ditch to determine the runoff volume generated by the watershed in a 10-year design storm. A hydraulic analysis of the proposed re-graded ditch and replacement 24” culvert for the 10-year design storm flows were analyzed using the TLW software. The “TLW Hydrology and Hydraulics” software 225
