Agenda Item 4.2
DATE: February 7, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Agreement with RES Environmental Operating Company for the Dublin Boulevard Extension - Fallon Road to North Canyons Parkway Project, CIP No. ST0216
Prepared by: Pratyush Bhatia, Transportation and Operations Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider approving an agreement with RES Environmental Operating Company, LLC to provide environmental mitigation services for the Dublin Boulevard Extension - Fallon Road to North Canyons Parkway project. The City Council will also consider approving a budget change to increase the project funding.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The estimated cost of the environmental mitigation services is $15,480,144. Approval of the agreement will require a budget increase in that amount for the Dublin Boulevard Extension - Fallon Road to North Canyons Parkway project (CIP No. ST0216). Direct impact environmental mitigation up to an amount of $1,737,585 is included in the Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee (EDTIF) program and would be funded by the EDTIF. The remaining $13,742,559, comprising $11,906,472 in indirect mitigation costs and $1,836,087 in direct mitigation costs, will come from the Assigned Reserve for the Dublin Boulevard Extension project, which has a balance of $20 million.

Staff has determined that the indirect environmental mitigation will meet Community Facilities District (CFD) requirements and is working on a CFD financing mechanism to reimburse the City for the General Fund contribution of $11.9 million in indirect mitigation costs. 27

DESCRIPTION:

The 2022-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes the Dublin Boulevard Extension – Fallon Road to North Canyons Parkway Project (CIP No. ST0216), which will extend Dublin Boulevard approximately 1.5 miles from Fallon Road to North Canyons Parkway in the City of Livermore, including a portion through unincorporated Alameda County. The project has been planned since 1984.

Construction of the project will impact the potential habitat for several special-status species. The project will also impact a stream channel, seasonal wetland, and riparian habitat. The Project Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Biological Opinion identified 22.7 acres of permanent direct impact due to the construction of the roadway.

Permanent direct impacts will result from the permanent replacement of existing habitat within the footprint of the new road. The EIR identified up to 133.47 acres of permanent indirect impacts south of the roadway. Indirect impacts will result from the isolation of habitat on land between the new road and Interstate 580. Compensatory mitigation for impacts to these species’ habitat is required in accordance with the measures outlined in the East Alameda County Conservation Strategy (EACCS). Mitigation can take the form of purchase of credits from a mitigation bank, project-specific mitigation, or other mitigation plan.

Staff has been coordinating with Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC), Livermore, and Alameda CTC’s consultants, BKF Engineers and H.T. Harvey & Associates, on the evaluation of environmental mitigation options for the project. Staff recommends entering into an agreement with RES Environmental Operating Company, LLC to provide project-specific, full- service mitigation, based on the evaluation of mitigation options by H.T. Harvey & Associates, the lack of currently approved conservation banks that could satisfy all mitigation needs, the uncertainty of when a conservation bank would be available, the potentially higher cost per acre of purchasing credits from a mitigation bank, and conversations with RES on mitigation options.

RES is a firm that specializes in finding mitigation solutions for projects such as the Dublin Boulevard Extension. RES will provide the City with the entire mitigation to compensate for the unavoidable impacts to species’ habitat and aquatic resources for the project, at a total cost of $15,480,144.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

Strategy 1: Downtown Dublin and Economic Development
Objective E: Continue the Fallon-East development strategy.

1 MITIGATION AGREEMENT
THIS MITIGATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of __________________, 2023, by and between HGS, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company d/b/a RES Environmental Operating Company, LLC (“RES”), and City of Dublin, a California incorporated City (“City”) (“ Permittee” and together with RES, the “Parties” and each individually, a “Party”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, City, in collaboration with the City of Livermore, is the lead agency that desires to construct a project generally described as the roadway extension of Dublin Boulevard, from Fallon Road to the Dublin city limits, continuing easterly through unincorporated Alameda County and connecting to North Canyons Parkway within the City of Livermore, commonly referred to as the Dublin Boulevard Extension project located in Alameda County, California (the “Project”);
WHEREAS, the City may require approximately 0.27 ac of mixed riparian woodland, 1.75 ac of “riparian grassland” (defined as riparian habitat along creek banks), 0.30 ac of seasonal wetland, and 0.25 ac (750+ linear feet) of perennial and ephemeral stream mitigation ( “Estimated Aquatic Acres”). It is the current policy of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (the “USACE”), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), and San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) to require unavoidable impacts to aquatic resources be mitigated through the establishment, re-establishment, rehabilitation, or enhancement of aquatic resources similar to the impacted resources in the Hydrologic Unit Code zone (“HUC”) in which the impacts are located1; WHEREAS, Permittee and/or its agents have, prior to the date hereof, in good faith and using an approved method estimated that 494 acres of combined California Tiger Salamander (CTS) / California Red Legged Frog (CRLF) acres (“Estimated CTS/CRLF Acres ”) are expected to be required by CDFW and United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). CTS and CRLF compensation is achieved through the preservation and management of habitat supporting breeding ponds and adjacent grasslands with sufficient movement and aestivation habitat in locations near the impact site consistent with the requirements outlined in the East Alameda County Conservation Strategy2; and
WHEREAS, Permittee expects to receive the following permits for the Project: Incidental Take Permit or Consistency Determination under Cal. Fish & Game Code §2081, Streambed Alteration Agreement under Cal. Fish & Game Code §§1602-1603, Section 7 Biological Opinion under the Federal Endangered Species Act, Nationwide Permit under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and a water quality certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (“Project’s Permits”); and
WHEREAS, Permittee desires to engage RES to provide the regulatory support, land management and execution and administration services set forth in Exhibit A for the Project (the “ Services”), which Services include the development and, if the Project’s Permits are issued by the CDFW, USFWS, USACE, and RWQCB, implementation of a compensatory mitigation plan (the “ Mitigation Plan ”) to generate the Estimated CTS/CRLF Acres and the Estimated Aquatic Acres or, if agreed pursuant to Section 3, a greater or lesser number of Acres; WHEREAS, Permittee anticipates that the Project’s Permit will be issued on or before November 15, 2025 (the “Anticipated Project’s Permit Date”); and
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the undertakings, promises and agreements set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, City and RES agree as follows:

32 Attachment 2
2 AGREEMENTS:

1. Engagement of RES. Subject to (i) the terms and conditions set forth herein and (ii) all required approvals of the City and any other applicable transnational, domestic or foreign federal, state or local governmental, regulatory or administrative authority, department, court, agency or official, including any political subdivision thereof (a “Governmental Authority”), RES agrees to perform, or cause its affiliates, subcontractors or agents to perform, the Services in order to develop and, if the Project’s Permits are issued, implement the Mitigation Plan to generate the Estimated CTS/CRLF Acres and Estimated Aquatic Acres; provided that in lieu of providing the Services RES may obtain all or any portion of the Estimated CTS/CRLF and Estimated Aquatic Acres from mitigation banks or other sources.

2. Required Payments.
(a) As consideration for the performance of the Services, Permittee shall pay RES an aggregate amount (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4, the “ Purchase Price”) equal to $15,523,3113 minus a $43,167 credit for work already performed (Tasks A-C and submission of Credit Summary Report to City) equaling $15,480,144, paid in installments as follows (each a “Milestone Payment”):
i. On the date hereof, $774,007, equal to 5% of the Purchase Price; ii. On the date that the first draft of the Mitigation Plan is submitted to Permittee or its agents for review (or, if Permittee requests that such draft be submitted directly to the City for review, upon the date that such draft is submitted to the City), $774,007, equal to 5% of the Purchase Price; and iii. On the earlier of the (A) Anticipated Project’s Permit Date and (B) issuance of the Project’s Permits, $3,870,036, equal to 25% of the Purchase Price; and
iv. On the date RES records a conservation easement over the property or properties included in the approved Mitigation Plan, $4,644,043, equal to 30% of the Purchase Price. v. On the date that the as-builts of the Estimated Aquatic Acres are submitted to the USACE, RWQCB, CDFW, and USFWS, $4,644,043, equal to 30% of the Purchase Price. vi. On the date that the as-builts of the Estimated Aquatic Acres are approved by the USACE, RWQCB, CDFW, and USFWS, $774,007 equal to 5% of the Purchase Price; and The Purchase Price reflects the following pricing: $29,870/acre for CTS and CRLF and $298,650/acre for Aquatic Resources (for each type specified in this paragraph, the “Price Per Acre). (b) Any amount due and payable hereunder shall be paid within thirty (30) days of such amount becoming due and payable by wire transfer or by other method as directed by the RES. Any amount paid hereunder shall, when paid, be deemed to be fully earned and non-refundable.
(c) If Permittee fails to make any required payment under this Agreement:
i. RES shall notify Permittee of the default within 10 business days of the potential default and in accordance with Section 7(d). RES shall not be required to perform hereunder unless and until such default is cured and shall not be responsible for any breach, liability or damages resulting from such non-performance, and ii. after a thirty (30) day cure period beginning upon RES’s notification to Permittee of such non-payment, RES may, in addition to its remedies at law and equity, (x) retain all prior payments received as liquidated damages, and/or (y) terminate this Agreement.

3 The Purchase Price is calculated as $29,870/acre for Estimated CTS/CRLF Acres for 494 acres ($14,755,780) + $298,650/acre for Estimated Aquatic Acres for 2.57 acres ($767,530.50). 33 Attachment 2
3 3. Project Changes.
(a) Project changes or a re-evaluation of the Project’s expected impacts may affect the number of Estimated CTS/CRLF Acres and/or Estimated Aquatic Acres. Prior to the issuance of the Project’s Permits, Permittee will have the right to request a change in the number of Estimated CTS/CRLF Acres and Estimated Aquatic Acres by delivering a written notice (an “Acreage Change Request”) to RES describing the type and number of Acres by which Permittee desires to increase or decrease the Estimated Acres. If an Acreage Change Request reduces the Estimated Acres to zero, either Party may terminate this Agreement and Section 5(a) shall apply. (b) Promptly after receiving an Acreage Change Request, RES will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver a written proposal (an “ Acreage Change Proposal ”) to modify the Mitigation Plan to generate additional Acres or reduce the number of Acres generated by the Mitigation Plan. The Acreage Change Proposal will include RES’ proposed increase or decrease, as applicable, in the Purchase Price given such modifications. (c) Permittee and RES will discuss the Acreage Change Proposal in good faith. If the Parties agree on the Acreage Change Proposal, including any modifications to the Acreage Change Proposal agreed to by the Parties, RES will implement the Acreage Change Proposal. If the Parties cannot agree on a final version of the Acreage Change Proposal within 30 days of its delivery to initial delivery to Permittee, either Party may terminate this Agreement and Section 5(a) shall apply. RES and Permittee each agree to do such further lawful acts as are reasonably necessary to give effect to the intent of this Section 3.

4. Changes in Regulations.
(a) If, prior to the issuance of the Project’s Permits, there is a change in any rules, guidance, regulations or the Methodology or the application thereof (a “Change in Regulations”), RES will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver a written proposal (the “ Change in Regulations Proposal ”) to modify the Mitigation Plan to address the Change in Regulations. The Change in Regulations Proposal will include RES’ proposed change in the Purchase Price, if any, given such modifications.
(b) Permittee and RES will discuss the Change in Regulations Proposal in good faith. If the Parties agree on the Change in Regulations Proposal, including any modifications to the Change in Regulations Proposal agreed to by the Parties, RES will implement the Change in Regulations Proposal. If the Parties cannot agree on a final version of a Change in Regulations Proposal within 30 days of its initial delivery to Permittee, either Party may terminate this Agreement and Section 5(a) shall apply.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any modification to the Mitigation Plan is conditioned upon the receipt of all required Governmental Authority approvals, and in no event will RES be liable to Permittee or any other party if RES is unable to modify the Mitigation Plan to accommodate an Acreage Change Request or Change in Regulations.

5. Termination.
(a) If either Party terminates this Agreement as permitted by Section 3 or Section 4, then (i) any Milestone Payments that have been paid, or are at the time of termination due and payable to RES, shall be retained by and/or paid to RES as compensation for Services performed, (ii) Permittee shall not owe any additional amounts to RES, (iii) RES shall not have any additional obligations to Permittee and (iv) both Parties shall execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances, and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the intent of this Section 5, including as required by any Governmental Authority.

Scope of Work
(See attached.)
39 Attachment 2
9 RES has already acquired suitable land to provide the mitigation for the Dublin Boulevard Extension (Project) on behalf of the City. The purpose of the Mitigation Plan is to compensate for unavoidable impacts to species’ habitat and aquatic resources associated with the Project. Working with clients as early as possible in project life cycles is a top priority for RES, allowing us to execute as a trusted advisor, planning effectively for complex mitigation solutions.

This role enables us to analyze all proj ect parameters and offer guidance on cost -effective solutions. For the Project, RES has developed a solution that will meet all mitigation needs, aligning with your permitting needs and conditions, resulting in success. RES has restored and protected over 62,000 acres of wetlands, conserved and restored over 400 miles of streams, and reduced over 280 tons of nutrients and preserved, restored and managed over 15,000 acres of special-status species habitat. Together, our employees have planted 20,000,000 rest orative trees across the country and have provided compensatory mitigation solutions that have helped our clients obtain over 3,980 federal and state permits.

Project Phases
Below is a description of the phases of the project and a detailed scope for each task that RES will perform in order to complete each phase culminating in the delivery of the Estimated CTS/CRLF Acres and Estimated Aquatic Acres.

Annual reporting
PHASE 2 – BASELINE STUDIES
Biological Resources Report
Based on a review of the CDFW Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and the USFWS county list, RES will compile a preliminary list and GIS occurrence maps of special status wildlife species with potential to occur in the vicinity of the mitigation site.

Site visits will be undertaken and the mitigation site will be traversed on foot and the habitat assessed to determine suitability for special status wildlife and plants. The field inspection will include rare plant surveys and focused wildlife surveys, de tailed below. The site visits will be conducted by biologists with experience surveying for rare plant species and sensitive vegetation communities. This will be accomplished using GPS and hand -drawing the extents of the various vegetation communities on a erial photographs in the field. The field biologists will work with GIS staff to prepare a map of the vegetation communities of the mitigation site including non-native invasive species infestations. The map will include potential sensitive wetland feature s mapped during the wetland delineation, in addition to other sensitive habitats such as riparian habitat, native grassland, or other communities considered sensitive by the CDFW. Where it is necessary to make a determination of habitat sensitivity, vegeta tion communities will be assigned to the alliance level as described in A Manual of California Vegetation, 2nd Edition.

The Biological Resources Report will discuss the results of the literature search, field reconnaissance, and focused rare plant and wild life surveys. Potential use of the properties by any sensitive species will be ranked as unlikely, moderate, or high depending upon the suitability of the habitat or proximity of any known records uncovered in the database search. If any sensitive species are observed, they will be reported in the findings. Any identified potential restoration opportunities or land management practices that could benefit special status species or improve the conservation value of the mitigation site will be discussed.

Jurisdictional Determination
The jurisdictional determination will identify the potential jurisdiction of the San Francisco Army Corps District under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, theRWQCB under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, and CDFW under Section 1602 of the California Fish and Game Code. A complete jurisdictional determination will be conducted within the mitigation site in accordance with the Army Corps San Francisco District criteria for the delineation of wetlands and other guidance related to jurisdictional determinations for "waters of the United States.” Additionally, the wetland delineation will define features that fall under the RWQCB’s 401 jurisdiction according to the State Water Resources Control Board’s State Wetland Definition and Procedures for Discharges of Dredge or Fill Material to Waters of the State as well as the boundary of CDFW stream and riparian areas under Section 1602.

The fieldwork will be conducted in conformance with the routine methods described in the latest Army Corp s delineation guidelines, the Arid West Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, the Field Guide to the Identification of the Ordinary High Water in the Arid West Region of the Western United States, as well as the State Water Board’s definitions and CDFW policies regarding stream and riparian areas.

Data collected in the field will be entered on standard Arid West delineation and ordinary high water mark data forms.

The identified boundaries of the wetlands and ordinary high water mark will be mapped in the field using a GPS with one-meter resolution and will use this data to plot the boundaries on the selected base map.

The data collected will be reviewed to determine areas which meet the wetlands, waters, and riparian ar ea criteria under Army Corps, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and CDFW guidelines. A report will be prepared in accordance with the format required by the San Francisco Army Corps District.

In order for the jurisdictional determination to be conside red official, the Army Corps must conduct a site visit to examine the potentially jurisdictional features and request potential changes to the delineation. After the site visit, any edits requested by the Army Corps will be made prior to the Army Corps ver ifying the accuracy of the delineation.

RES will be available for site visits with the RWQCB and CDFW if desired.

Rare Plant Surveys
41 Attachment 2
11 There is a strong likelihood that rare plant surveys will need to be conducted on the mitigation site. During such surveys, any populations of special status plant species identified within the mitigation site will be noted and mapped using GPS. Survey methods will follow the CNPS Botanical Survey Guidelines, which includes visiting rare plant reference populations in the vicinity and/or herbarium specimens prior to each survey, creating a floristic list of every plant observed in each habitat type identified to the species level, and photographing or collecting a voucher specimen (in accordance with applicable state and federal permit requirements) of each observed rare plant species. A rare plant report will be prepared to discuss the results of the literature search and field reconnaissance.

Focused Wildlife Surveys
Focused wildlife surveys will be conducted for species pot entially onsite or those with potentially suitable habitat onsite. This will be done to support City’s mitigation requirements and permitting efforts needed to construct the mitigation site. The focused wildlife surveys within the mitigation site could include the following surveys depending upon input from CDFW and USFWS:

California Tiger Salamander
California Red Legged Frog
Burrowing Owl
Standard survey protocols will be utilized. However, there may be instances where unique techniques, methods, or approaches such as environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling could be advantageous to the mitigation site. RES has experience complementing standard methodologies with innovative approaches such as eDNA.

Surface Water Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis
All local data sources for stream flow, precipitation, evapotranspiration, will be collected and analyzed. The analysis will be utilized for recognizing trends, preparing predictive assumptions regarding hydrology, and provide supporting information to dev elop hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) models. The proposed models will be used to determine important design parameters necessary to construct the Estimated Aquatic Acres and provide background for predictive analysis regarding supporting hydrologic trends. Specific questions that will be addressed by the surface water hydrologic and hydraulic analysis are as follows:

What are the local hydrologic trends in terms of average wet, average dry, and average year conditions?
What are the local flow duration statistics for the upstream, downstream and at the proposed site and how does that support the existing riparian vegetation? What is the stream response to event conditions in terms of depth of water, max/average shear, and max/average velocity?
How does the stream response information coincide with the existing riparian area determined in the data collection task? This will assist RES in making decisions about the proposed vegetation layout.

To answer the above questions RES proposes to calibrate the proposed predictive models to the extent the local data will allow and use the models to:

Fill gaps in stream flow records
Make predictive decisions about how the local hydrology will support the proposed riparian corridor.

Using industry standard techniques, base flow will be estimated for the mitigation site using the existing stream flow data first and synthetic data from the calibrated model in data gap years. A technical memorandum will be developed to summarize surface water hydrology.

Cultural Resources Survey
A complete cultural resources survey will be conducted to ensure that no sensitive archaeological or historical resources are present within the mitigation site where activities are planned. This investigation willmeet all the federal and state requirements set by the Secretary of the Interior (SOI) and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) necessary to obtain permits from the various agencies. The investigation is designed to meet or exceed the 42 Attachment 2
12 requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Investigation methods will include pre-field research and field reconnaissance.

PHASE 3 – PLAN DEVELOPMENT
Offsite Mitigation Compensatory Restoration Plan
An offsite mitigation compensatory restoration plan will be prepared to outline the steps for successful mitigation implementation, monitoring, and maintenance prior to achieving the mitigation site’s performance standards. The details of the offsite mitigation compensatory restoration plan would include items such as a property description, description of onsite biological resources, vegetation map, identification of mitigation activities proposed to preserve, enhance, restore or establish habitats within the mitigation site, and identification of performance standards for proposed mitigation activities. This plan will identify all of the direct actions that will take place to generate the proposed mitigation as well as identify the necessary infrastructure to support the proposed mitigation. The content will be largely dependent on the designs included in the plan.

Detailed design plans will be included in the plan based upon the requirements in the Project. The detailed designs will include irrigation plans, planting plans, and illustrative cross-sections for restoration actions. The detailed designs will be used to accurately determine the amount of mitigation that will be generated within the mitigation site. These designs will be prepared to a level of detail sufficient to receive all permits from the. USACE, CDFW, USFWS, and RWQCB.

Long-Term Management Plan
Once the mitigation site has met the performance standards identified in the offsite mitigation compensatory restoration plan then the operation of the mitigation site is governed by the long-term management plan. RES will develop a long-term management plan identifying any habitat or land management activities that will be needed along with the endowment necessary to carry out such management in perpetuity. The details of the long-term management plan will include items such as a property description, description of onsite biological resources, vegetation map, identification of activities allowed and prohibited on the mitigation site, identification of biological goals and objectives for the mitigation site, and management activities to occur within the mitigation site.

The contents of this plan will determine the up-front cost that must be contributed to a non-wasting endowment fund once the mitigation site is approved. The cost of funding an endowment can vary widely based on available capitalization rates and the management needs of a specific property as negotiated during the approval process. Long- term management costs will be estimated based on the long-term management plan and an endowment fund analysis and schedule document will be created which will outline the amount of the endowment required to fund long-term management of the mitigation site, describe the assumptions used in the analysis, and will outline the schedule for funding the endowment account.

The long-term management plan will also discuss the conservation easement and endowment holder.

Conservation Easement
RES will develop and negotiate the terms of the conservation easement using approved agency templates previously used on mitigation properties in the area. RES will select and coordinate with a conservation-oriented non-profit to hold the conservation easement. Once the terms of the conservation easement are finalized with the regulatory agencies and the non-profit, and the offsite mitigation compensatory restoration plan is approved by the regulatory agencies then RES will ensure that the conservation easement is recorded at the Alameda County recorders office.

PHASE 4 - PERMITTING
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Approval
RES will assist the Alameda County Planning Department in certifying a CEQA document covering the restoration action to be conducted within the mitigation site. The Initial Study checklist will be prepared using information from the biological resources report, cultural resources report, Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, and restoration plans. RES will prepare responses to any comments received during the public comment period as well as attend meetings with the Alameda County Planning Department. If a CEQA exemption is not granted for the mitigation site, we anticipate that a mitigated negative declaration (MND) will be prepared for the project.

Alameda County Planning Department Coordination
43 Attachment 2
13 There are a variety of local requirements that may need to be addressed. These may include but are not limited to, addressing local zoning regulations for consistency, obtaining a grading permit, approval of irrigation plan, etc. RES will ensure that any local permitting requirements associated with establishing the mitigation site are met.

Section 1602 Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement
The construction of the mitigation habitat could impact watercourses subject to CDFW jurisdiction in the mitigation site. CDFW requires any person who may affect the bed or bank of a perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral river, stream or lake to request a Section 1602 Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement. The CDFW Section 1602 application requires the applicant to complete a permit application form, a project environmental questionnaire and provide supplemental data regarding issues raised upon completion of the project environmental questionnaire. RES will provide the necessary information required to submit the permit application, project environmental questionnaire, and supplemental information to the CDFW and will coordinate with CDFW to obtain the Section 1602 Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement.

Section 404 Nationwide Permit
Restoration actions within the mitigation site could result in impacts to existing aquatic features subject to Army Corps jurisdiction. As a result, a permit could be required to conduct the restoration activities. The permit application will describe the permanent and temporary impacts to existing wetland and waters habitat. More importantly, it will describe where the new wetland and water habitats are restored and illustrate the resulting increase in habitats subject to Army Corps jurisdiction. If an Army Corps nationwide permit is required, RES will prepare the permit application and conduct the necessary coordination in order to receive the permit.

Section 401 Water Quality Certification
The RWQCB must provide its approval of all permits issued by the Army Corps. Therefore, if an Army Corps nationwide permit is required for project approval, a Section 401 Water Quality Certification application will also be submitted to the RWQCB. RES will be responsible for preparing and obtaining this permit.

Section 7 Biological Assessment
Restoration actions within the mitigation site may have the potential to impact federal-listed wildlife species. As a result, the Army Corps must consult with USFWS during the processing of the potential Army Corps nationwide permit. As a part of this consultation, RES will prepare a Section 7 Biological Assessment Report so that the Army Corps can initiate consultation with USFWS. This report will summarize the status of federal-listed species within the mitigation site and analyze potential project-related impacts. Avoidance and mitigation measures will also be provided in this document.

CDFW California Endangered Species Act Coordination
Similarly, restoration actions within the mitigation site may have the potential to impact state-listed wildlife species.

In the event that an Incidental Take Permit (ITP) for impacts to State-listed species is necessary, an application for a 2081 from CDFW will be compiled and submitted with the goal of obtaining a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), to be followed by a signed ITP and Notice of Determination or a Consistency Determination of the USFWS Biological Opinon.

PHASE 5 – RESTORATION IMPLEMENTATION
Habitat Construction
As a facet of our comprehensive design-build project delivery approach, we pride ourselves on our distinctive ability to provide custom mitigation solutions tailored to each individual client’s needs. In addition to our technical staff, our in-house resources include specialty ecological construction equipment, vehicles and safety management, plant nurseries, and project management tools. These means give RES the unique ability within the industry to tackle complex projects of varying sizes with the capability to problem solve and execute on the permitting, design, implementation, survey, revegetation, and maintenance & monitoring fronts. Our construction implementation team will include in-house RES construction oversight staff, design team representatives, and field crews. 44 Attachment 2
14 RES will complete all of the tasks required to construct the mitigation ha bitats described in the approved offsite mitigation compensatory restoration plan including but not limited to:

Mobilization
Site preparation, including erosion & sediment control
Construction stakeout,
Native plant material acquisition
Grading (if required)
Non-native vegetation removal
Irrigation installation
Native plant installation
Demobilization
As-Built Report
RES will be responsible for submitting as-built drawings of the mitigation site, with accurate maps of the established, enhanced, and/or restored mitigation habitat to the regulatory agencies following completion of construction. The as - built drawings shall consist of full -size construction plans, with as -built conditions clearly sho wn. The as -built drawings and any associated report must describe in detail any deviation from the approved offsite mitigation compensatory restoration plan. RES will also incorporate ground photos and aerial drone imagery into the as -built report to fur ther assist the regulatory agencies in verifying that the habitat was constructed in accordance with the approved offsite mitigation compensatory restoration plan.

PHASE 6 – MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING
Mitigation Site Maintenance
The mitigation site will be managed in accordance with the offsite mitigation compensatory restoration plan until all performance standards are met and then governed by the long-term management plan after performance standards are met. RES will be responsible for maintaining the mitigation site under both plans. RES’ responsibilities will include review of all available monitoring data, identifying appropriate adaptive management actions, and executing all pre - determined management tasks outlined in the plans. Our habitat manageme nt and maintenance crew will complete these tasks during required site visits following construction. Potential tasks could include invasive plant species control, repairing infrastructure such as fences and gates, monitoring for signs of trespass, and all other tasks required by the plans.

Annual Reporting
In accordance with regulatory agency requirements for mitigation properties, monitoring surveys will be conducted within the mitigation site to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the condition of th e restored habitat. Monitoring tasks will be completed to ensure the terms of the offsite mitigation compensatory restoration plan are executed and that suitable data is collected to assess the mitigation site’s progress towards meeting its performance sta ndards.

Examples of quantitative assessments include invasive plant cover surveys and native species plant cover, abundance, and diversity surveys within aquatic resource areas. Qualitative assessments will be conducted to assess the overall condition of the mitigation site and identify any additional threats to the preserved, enhanced, restored, or established resources and habitats not specifically mentioned in the offsite mitigation compensatory restoration plan. RES will be responsible for completing and submitting the annual reports to the regulatory agencies until all performance standards are met.

After the mitigation site’s performance standards have been met, RES will be responsible for completing and submitting annual reports in line with the requirements outlined in the approved long-term management plan. 45 Attachment 2

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for the environmental review, preliminary engineering, design and construction of the 1.5 mile extension of Dublin Boulevard from Fallon Road to North Canyons Parkway in Livermore. The extension is planned to have four to six travel lanes, bike lanes, a Class 1 bike/multi-use path, sidewalk, curb and gutter, traffic signals, street lighting, landscaped medians, bus stops, and all city street utilities. The preliminary engineering and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) cost allocation between the City of Dublin and City of Livermore is governed by a Memorandum of Understanding approved by the City Council on April 19, 2016. On November 1, 2016, the City Council approved a contract for Preliminary Engineering and EIR. On April 27, 2017, Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) approved $8.233 million of Measure BB Grant funds for the design and environmental phases of the project starting with the Fiscal Year 2017-18 funding. The project EIR and precise roadway alignment was completed in 2020, after which ACTC took the lead in final design. The NEPA Environmental Assessment was completed in early 2021 with a Finding of No Significant Impact.

The preliminary engineering level cost estimate for this project is currently at $180.5 million, which includes all project mitigation costs and indirect impacts mitigation and is anticipated to be divided among the City of Dublin and the City of Livermore based on street length in each jurisdiction. It is expected that the City of Dublin share will be approximately $120.7 million, and the City of Livermore share will be $59.8 million. The unincorporated Alameda County's costs will be shared between the City of Dublin and City of Livermore with the final cost allocation to each jurisdiction to be defined by a Cooperative Agreement.

The $16.3 million identified as "Other" funding is from Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee.

Agenda Item 4.3
DATE: February 7, 2023
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.

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.

Page 3 of 3 ends

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, June 21, July 19, August 16, September 6, 2022, October 18, 2022, November 1, 2022, November 15, 2022, December 6, 2022, December 20, 2022, and January 10, 2023 meetings, the City Council adopted Resolution Nos. 39- 22, 48-22, 65-22, 84-22, 92-22, 101-22, 104-22, 120-22, 127-22, 130-22, 144-22, 148-22, and 05- 23 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 continues to be 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.

Agenda Item 4.4
DATE: February 7, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: City Council Participation in the 2023 St. Patrick’s Day Parade Prepared by: John Stefanski, Assistant to the City Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider participating in the 2023 St. Patrick's Day Parade by riding as a group on a decorated float.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the securing and decorating of a float to be used by the City Council during the Parade, or provide other direction.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Costs associated with the float are covered in the current operating budget.

DESCRIPTION:

Each year the City Council participates in the Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Historically, the City Council has walked along the Parade route with the City’s Historic Model A Truck or ridden on a fire truck or rented cable car. These options had limitations on the Councilmembers’ ability to interact with Parade watchers, keep pace with the rest of the Parade, or be visible to the public.

Last year, the City Council participated on a float, which Staff believes is the most effective option.

The float option will keep Councilmembers together along the parade route while allowing for equal visibility to spectators. If this option is selected, Staff will likely utilize the same single flatbed trailer from last year, newly decorated with the St. Patrick’s Day theme. As usual, the safety of the Councilmembers will be the most important factor in the selection of the flatbed and vehicle to be used.

To move forward with preparations for the parade, Staff is seeking City Council approval of this concept.

Agenda Item 4.5
DATE: February 7, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Cooperative Agreement with Alameda County Transportation Commission for the Green Stormwater Infrastructure Project
Prepared by: Laurie Sucgang, City Engineer and Shannan Young, Environmental and Sustainability Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider approving an agreement with Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) to allow for the City’s Green Stormwater Infrastructure project to be modified to accommodate the Caltrans’ SR84 Expressway Widening and SR84/I-680 Interchange Improvements project, for which Alameda CTC is the lead implementing agency. The agreement provides for the responsibility of each party, as well as the cost split.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution Approving the Cooperative Agreement with Alameda County Transportation Commission for the Green Stormwater Infrastructure Project.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

As approved in the 2022-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), the total budget for the Green Stormwater Infrastructure Project, CIP No. ST0121, is $2,153,375. The estimated consultant cost for the preliminary engineering, environmental clearance and permitting, and final design for the Green Stormwater Infrastructure – Iron Horse Trail, South of Amador Valley Boulevard portion of the project is $314,250. Alameda County Transportation Commission will fund and reimburse the City 75% of this amount. A subsequent agreement covering the costs and funding for the construction phase and long-term operation and maintenance will be brought to the City Council for consideration at a future date.

DESCRIPTION:

The 2022-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes the Green Stormwater Infrastructure Project (CIP No. ST0121, Attachment 3), which provides for planning, design, and 58

Page 2 of 2 ends

construction of various citywide projects that will improve water quality and provide other environmental benefits in accordance with the Green Stormwater Infrastructure Plan, which was approved by the City Council on June 18, 2019. One of the projects included in this CIP is the Green Stormwater Infrastructure – Iron Horse Trail, South of Amador Valley Boulevard project (GSI Project) to treat stormwater runoff from the adjacent neighborhoods prior to discharge into South San Ramon Creek and Alamo Creek. The preliminary engineering for the GSI Project began in September 2022.

Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) is the lead agency implementing the Project Approval and Environmental Document, Plans, Specifications & Estimate, and Right-of- Way phases of the SR84 Expressway Widening and SR84/I-680 Interchange Improvements project (Alameda CTC Project), including the improvements to meet stormwater treatment and flow control requirements specified in the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). Caltrans and the RWQCB have approved off-site stormwater treatment and flow control for the Alameda CTC Project.

The City’s GSI Project can accommodate the requirements of the Alameda CTC Project by incorporating modifications to increase the tributary area of impervious surface and incorporate flow control, so long as Alameda CTC reimburses the City for the additional costs.

The proposed Cooperative Agreement covers the preliminary engineering, environmental clearance and permitting, and final design phase of the combined project. Consultant costs for this phase of the project are estimated at $314,250. The Cooperative Agreement establishes that Alameda CTC funds 75% of these costs, participates in project review, and agrees to future agreements for project construction and long-term project maintenance. Staff will return to the City Council with subsequent agreements or amendments for the construction phase and long- term operation and maintenance for the City Council’s consideration.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for the planning, design, and construction of various citywide projects that will improve water quality and provide other environmental benefits in accordance with the Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) Plan, which was approved by City Council on June 18, 2019. The GSI Plan and associated implementing projects, as well as trash load reduction requirements, are mandated by the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP). Projects include: stormwater full trash capture device installation throughout the City, and construction of GSI associated with phase one of the Iron Horse Nature Park and Open Space Project. GSI planning and planning for the installation of trash capture devices began in FY2021-22.

This project is funded by a General Fund Reserve set aside for this purpose.

ANNUAL OPERATING IMPACT: To be determined. On-going operations and maintenance (O&M) expenditures for installed facilities are required, but may be equal to current maintenance expenditures, particularly for retrofit and replacement projects. For completely new projects, O&M costs are estimated at 1.3% of construction cost for parcel based GSI or regional stormwater controls, and 3.6% of construction costs for green street projects.

James Morehead

Dublin, CA 94568

To whom it may concern,

Please accept this application for City of Dublin Poet Laureate. I have written poetry for over 40 years and have published two books (“canvas” and “portraits of red and gray”). I have a third book that will be published in 2023 and a fourth book in development. Two of my poems have been transformed into short films and several poems have been set to music. I’ve also had poems published into numerous journals.

If given the opportunity to serve as City of Dublin Poet Laureate for a second term I would build on my deep ties to the community to encourage a love and appreciation of poetry. For over 10 years I founded and led OneDublin.org (City of Dublin’s 2011 Organization of the Year) and was recognized in 2015 with the Mayor’s Award for my service to the community. I’ve had leadership roles on both Fallon Middle School and Dublin High School School Site Councils, and the Dublin High School Engineering and Design Academy Advisory Council. In a second term I would focus on launching programs at the middle and high school level (COVID recovery in local schools made that impractical during my current term).

In addition to authoring and performing original poetry at City of Dublin events, I plan to continue hosting opens mics (such as the successful Poetry & Pizza Open Mic held at Patxi’s Pizza in Dublin), coordinate poetry performances (e.g., at Splatter), and work with the Dublin Unified School District to help make poetry more accessible to students. I would also continue to coordinate an annual City of Dublin Poetry Walk during Poetry Month (April), building on the success of the first event held in April 2022.

My love of poetry is thanks to a single teacher in high school; I want to continue giving back to the community as City of Dublin Poet Laureate.

Thank you for your consideration and for recognizing the importance of poetry.

75 At the crossroads
by James Morehead, Poet Laureate - Dublin, California

Two decades ago
we drove over the Sunol Grade,
our move out west a blur.

A colleague suggested Dublin,
no more familiar than the collage of cities
between Oakland and San Jose.

We made our new home here
on a parcel carved from rich clay soil,
surrounded by immigrants

like us, a diverse chorus of voices,
languages and cultures.

In time neighbors became friends.

We learned about the Muwekma Ohlone
surveying hills and valleys
for ten thousand years,

and of Missions and prospectors,
their names embossed on school signs
from Murray to Fallon to Kolb.

We've felt Dublin winds soar
over Schaefer Ranch, Pacific fog in tow,
basked in midsummer's endless blue

and awoken to mountains
draped in white
by a fierce winter storm.

We’ve argued at Board meetings
as families do,
passionate and proud

then reconciled
in churches and playgrounds
in backyards and bleachers

Attachment 2
76 and shoulder to shoulder
cheering Irish dancers and marching Gaels
in an emerald parade.

We've held hands in prayer
as loved ones passed
or drifted away

Yet—we'll always be here
gathering at the crossroads,
for the promise of tomorrow.

(for the 40th Anniversary of the City of Dublin)

77 A Saturday Painted in Dublin Green
For the grand opening of Don Biddle Community Park, Dublin, California (Sept. 24, 2022)

At dawn, shadows scatter,
chased by California sun over Altamont Pass
waking trees and trails and a red ribbon waiting.

There are speeches and thank-yous
while children tug their parents' hands.

With a snip and flourish the ribbon falls.

Squealing siblings race to slides,
a jogger with earbuds bouncing
passes two lovers strolling hand in hand.

Rackets are strung tight for serve and volley,
basketball gripped for three on three,
a group of friends meet for morning Tai Chi.

More arrive in numbered jerseys,
with a catcher’s mitt or cricket bat,
soccer cleats or t-ball stand.

Families in lawn chairs sink into grass
cheering their favorite team
while a pair of corgis wrestle nearby.

This canvas dipped in Dublin green
is ready to be painted with fresh memories
of laughter, of play, of community.

Then shadows creep, opening day retreats
beyond the San Francisco Bay.

Silence settles, all retire, resting until tomorrow.

DATE: February 7, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: 2023 Draft City of Dublin Legislative Platform Prepared by: John Stefanski, Assistant to the City Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will receive a report on the draft 2023 Legislative Platform, which guides the City’s response to potential and pending legislation, policies, programs, ballot measures, mandates, and budgets at all levels of government, and provide direction to Staff.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Receive the report and provide direction.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

None.

DESCRIPTION:

Each year the City Council approves a Legislative Platform that includes the goals, strategies, and priorities for organizing the City’s legislative advocacy efforts. The draft 2023 Platform (Attachment 1) is provided with this Staff Report to initiate the discussion with the City Council on the fundamental legislative issues important to the City over the next year. This attachment includes tracked changes to identify proposed revisions to the Platform.

The draft 2023 Platform is substantially similar to the 2022 Platform aside from modifications to account for changes in state law, anticipated issues for the current legislative session, and non- substantive grammatical and wording changes.

The guiding principles for the City’s legislative advocacy efforts continue to include the following:
 Preserving and/or increasing local government discretion  Promoting or enhancing revenue sources
 Advancing existing City Mission, Vision, Values, and policies 82

Page 2 of 3 ends

The Draft Legislative Platform identifies specific Public Policy Priorities for the following categories:

1. General Administration

2. Fiscal Sustainability

3. Community and Economic Development

4. Transportation and Public Works

5. Public Safety

6. Parks and Community Services

7. Climate and Environment

8. Technology and Cyber Security
These priorities will further guide the positions and advocacy efforts the City will take regarding all relevant legislation, policies, programs, ballot measures, mandates, and budgets. The draft 2023 Platform removes the reference to “Grant Funding Opportunities” which was included in the 2022 Platform, because those are specific funding sources pursued at the City staff level.

The draft Platform removes the following 2022 Public Policy Priorities supporting legislation that:
 Addresses the functional impracticalities of AB 361 while providing a permanent teleconference option available for Brown Act legislative bodies to hold public meetings. o This priority will be recrafted as 2023 Priority 1.4 to account for any proposed AB 2449 cleanup legislation or a permanent codification of AB 361 (without the 30-day renewal requirement).
 Grants the City additional flexibility in the use of America Rescue Plan Act Funding o The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 included provisions that expanded the use of ARPA funds, up to 30% or $10M of total allocations, on transportation projects, natural disaster emergency relief, and CDBG eligible expenditures.  Requires cities to use district-based elections.
o The City completed the transition to district-based elections in 2022, therefore this priority is no longer relevant.
 Supports Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Connected, and Automated Vehicles. o This priority was consolidated with 2023 Priority 3.5.

The draft Platform adds the following 2023 Public Policy Priorities supporting legislation that:
 Provides the ability to conduct public meetings using a hybrid approach that allow for equitable access and participation of elected officials and the public while considering privacy, health, and safety of all stakeholders.
 Provides alternative methods of meeting public noticing requirements through cost- effective, innovative, and technological methods of communication, and changes the definition of “newspaper of general circulation” due to realities of consolidated newspaper publications and the increase in on-line publications.
 Lowers the necessary voter threshold from a two-thirds supermajority to 55-percent to approved local general obligation bonds and special taxes for affordable housing and public infrastructure projects.
o ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry) proposes submit this to voters to consider this change.  Provides incentives or new funding mechanisms for affordable housing and transit- 83

Page 3 of 3 ends

oriented development.
o Priority 6.4 includes the added language of “or new funding mechanisms” to address SB 20 (Caballero) would allow for cities to form a Housing Finance Trust Joint- Powers Authority to jointly fund affordable housing.
 Provides funding for the rehabilitation, development, and capital improvements for park improvements in order to enhance the active and passive recreational infrastructure.  Reduces or eliminates the City’s ability to levy park impact fees.  Imposes regulations that create cost prohibitive administrative burdens which likely result in the reduction of parks programming.
 Streamlines development of an provide funding for electric vehicle (EV) charging and hydrogen fueling infrastructure locally and regionally.

It should be noted that the list of Public Policy Priorities is not exhaustive. In those instances where potential legislation, policies, programs, ballot measures, mandates, and budgets do not fit with the specific Public Policy Priorities, the General Legislative Principles will guide City action.

The draft 2023 Legislative Platform also includes language around Regional Collaboration, specifically the Tri-Valley Cities, whose 2023 Legislative Framework will be attached as an addendum to the Legislative Platform for reference.

FEBRUARY 2023
Attachment 1
85 Introduction
Many public policies intersect with City priorities, programs, and services. This 2023 Legislative Platform (Platform) outlines the City of Dublin’s legislative priorities and positions on these policies to inform residents, representatives, and policymakers. These priorities are applicable to all relevant legislation, policies, programs, grant funding opportunities, ballot measures, mandates, and budgets.

Additionally, the Platform enables staff to communicate Dublin-specific issues and impacts with state legislators. Staff may draft letters, direct our legislative advocates, or speak on behalf of the City regarding the legislative priorities this document outlines.

Any correspondence signifying the City’s support or opposition of a given bill must be signed by the Mayor and/or City Manager with notification to the City Council.

Any questions regarding this Legislative Platform can be directed to John Stefanski, Assistant to the City Manager at [email protected].

The TVC is governed by the five Mayors of each municipality who develop and adopt a TVC Legislative Framework which guides the advocacy efforts of the TVC. A copy of the 2023 Framework, once adopted, will be attached to as Addendum A to this Legislative Platform.

TRI-VALLEY CITIES
Legislative Framework

2023
94 1 | P a g e

TRI-VALLEY CITIES VALUES STATEMENT

The Tri-Valley Cities of Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon, and the Town of Danville value regional leadership, innovation, collaboration, and problem solving to maintain and improve the quality of life for Tri-Valley residents, provide a vibrant climate for businesses, and enable continued opportunities for public and private investment within the region.

Each City and Town provides a unique perspective on how to meet the needs of their residents and businesses. The Cities and Town agree to respect the individuality of each community and are committed to open and honest communication with a goal of building consensus and a united approach to advocacy for solutions that will serve the residents and businesses of the Tri-Valley.

TRI-VALLEY CITIES LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK

The Tri-Valley Cities Legislative Framework seeks to inform all levels of governmental interaction (e.g., federal, state, regional, local) regarding legislation, policies, and programs that have a direct impact on the region. The TVC has defined Legislative Focus Areas which have an overarching objective to retain and promote local control and decision- making as it relates to the implementation of laws and regulations and to have the ability to integrate them in a manner that meets the unique needs of each community. The TVC will advocate together to achieve outcomes benefiting the region in each of these Focus Areas.

Transportation and Infrastructure
Residents of the Tri-Valley region are subject to some of the heaviest commutes in the Bay Area and are impacted by the heavy flow of traffic along the region’s freeways, which often spills over onto the local surface streets as commuters pursue alternatives to their commute through the Tri-Valley. A key objective of the region is to reduce congestion on the region’s freeways, and to increase mobility of goods and people through the Tri-Valley with continued financial investment in transportation infrastructure: developing alternative modes of transportation, modernization of transportation corridors, and creation, modernization, and expansion of rail systems. The TVC also seeks to partner on other significant non- transportation infrastructure projects, especially those with regional and multi-regional benefits.

Climate, Environment, Health, and Safety
The TVC seeks to work collaboratively with federal, state, and regional partners to address the new landscape of year-round wildfires, air quality, public safety power shutoffs, water quality (including PFAS/PFOS contaminants) and supply issues, as well as waste and recycling mandates. The TVC will advocate for increasing financial and technical support in these areas, as well as for investment in key infrastructure at all levels of government. 95 2 | P a g e

Economic Development
The Tri-Valley region is an innovation hub that spurs job growth, sustains a healthy economy, and provides a high quality of life for residents and business. Key objectives are developing a healthy workforce; and supporting innovation, capacity building, economic stimulus, and growth in the region.

Affordable Housing and Homelessness
The TVC supports balanced solutions which consider housing, jobs, and transportation together and seeks to support, promote, protect, and increase affordability in the region’s housing stock. Key objectives are to work with federal, state, and regional partners to provide funding for affordable housing through a variety of programs and options and to work to address barriers to building housing at Very Low, Low, and Moderate income levels. TVC also remains committed to mitigating and eliminating homelessness, including working with partners at all levels of government to address the root causes of housing insecurity and homelessness.

Mental Health
The TVC recognizes that social services are vital to supporting residents and providing crucial safety net services in our region. While the TVC cities do not provide direct delivery of social services, the Cities seek to work together to support local non-profits and organizations that do provide these services, and advocate together for these vital resources and services from all levels of government. Mental health support is a growing need in our region, and the TVC seeks to advocate for the resources to meet the needs of all our residents.

Fiscal Sustainability
Fiscal Sustainability is an important role for all levels of government. The TVC seeks to advocate against the imposition of unfunded mandates and the removal of funding streams from local governments.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Informational Report on Adult Day Services Programs Prepared by: Jordan Foss, Management Analyst II, Judy Miller, Management Analyst II, Jennifer Mendez, Management Analyst I, Rhonda Franklin, Management Analyst II
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will receive an informational report on Adult Day Services programs, including an overview of their structures, regulations, and local program examples.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Receive the report and provide direction, as necessary.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

None.

DESCRIPTION:

This item is in response to an April 5, 2022, Item 9 request for information regarding establishing an adult day-care/senior day-care program and using ARPA funding on the program.

Background
According to the California Department of Aging, Adult Day Services programs offer an alternative to nursing home care for those who do not need 24-hour skilled nursing. The programs are designed to help adults and seniors stay mentally and physically active while reducing their isolation and improving their overall health, both mentally and physically.

Adult Day Services are provided in two types of licensed settings, Adult Day Programs (ADP) and Community-Based Adult Services (CBAS).1 Both services offer out-of-home care for elderly and

1 Community Based Adult Services if formerly known as Adult Day Health Care 107

Page 2 of 5 ends

younger adults in community-based centers. Participants in either ADP or CBAS programs attend centers in their communities based on individual need, which can be between two to five times a week, for up to eight hours a day. While centers operate as day programs, some centers offer extended hours to accommodate working caregivers. All programs either provide or assist with transportation arrangements.

ADP offer day-time programs for adults through a non-medical model of care and are licensed by the California Department of Social Services (DSS) Community Care Licensing Division. Trained aides provide structured activities, meals, monitoring services, and protective supervision for individuals who require additional care than typically provided at a senior or community center.

In addition, these ADP often provide caregiver support groups and training. These programs are funded through private payments, Veteran’s Administration benefits, Area Agencies on Aging, and Regional Centers (if the participant has a developmental disability).

CBAS offer Adult Day Health Care programs in a medical model to Medi-Cal beneficiaries and must meet strict eligibility requirements as set by the California Department of Public Health and Department of Aging. CBAS programs serve older and younger adults with chronic disabling medical, cognitive, or mental conditions that put them at risk of being institutionalized.

Coordinated teams of licensed professionals provide organized day programs focusing on health, therapeutic, and social services. CBAS programs utilize teams of nurses, social workers, and physical, speech, and occupational therapists to focus on preventive, social, and medical care to benefit clients who are deemed high cost/high risk patients. CBAS programs are funded through Medicaid and the State General Fund. Centers also accept Medi-Cal, Managed Health Plans, Veteran’s Association, or Long-Term Care insurances.

State Regulation Considerations
DSS mandates staffing ratios and position requirements for all Adult Day Services programs. In general, the staffing ratio is either one direct care staff person to four adults, or one direct care staff person to eight adults, depending on the participants’ need for assistance with activities of daily living. Staffing requirements would also be based on the type of services provided, including administration, nutrition, nursing, activities and social services, and operations (housekeeping, cooking, maintenance, transportation, etc.) as well as the size of the program space. Staff are subject to training requirements which include orientations, initial training, and continuing education requirements. The facility would also be subject to monitoring and annual inspections by the licensing agency, with stipulations for unannounced visits.

Establishing an ADP requires applicants to complete a three-component process that consists of an attendance at a pre-application orientation, application submission and review by DSS, and category-specific training in areas not often understood by new licensees. Generally, the application requires basic contact information as well as more detailed financial and operating plans including the maximum number of persons to be served by the program, the categories of persons to be served including persons with developmental disabilities, mental disorders, or physical handicaps, and its hours or periods of operation.

Similarly, the State Department of Public Health regulates CBAS programs and requires each provider receives a Medi-Cal certification. The State Department of Agency must also conduct a 108

Page 3 of 5 ends

financial review as well as onsite medical and management reviews, pursuant to Health and Safety Code 14573, prior to receiving the Medi-Cal certification.

CBAS Standards of participation require facilities to have space sufficient to accommodate both indoor and outdoor activities, a multi-purpose room large enough for all participants to get together for large group activities and for meals, and a secluded area that is set aside for participants who require bed rest and for privacy during medical treatments or social service interventions. Furthermore, CBAS must staff a registered nurse for every 40 participants and who must be present in the center during program hours. Program aides/nursing assistants shall be staffed at one per 16 participants.

Local Program Examples
In preparation of this item, Staff conducted a cursory review of ADPs and CBAS throughout the Bay Area to better understand any anticipated start-up capital and operating costs, as well as staffing and usage levels. While most entities were unwilling to provide this information, the section below summarizes information available to staff.

Bay Area Community Services (Oakland)
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Oakland partnered with Bay Area Community Services (BACS) to offer Adult Day Care programs to seniors with Alzheimer’s and dementia at the North Oakland Senior Center. Under this arrangement, the City provided a facility equipped with a kitchen, restrooms, and program space. BACS managed the program, including licensing, staffing, enrollments, social services, and administrative and legal requirements. Funding for this program primarily came from reduced participant program fees, the City did not provide funding as part of the arrangement. BACS ended the program during the early onset of the pandemic as BACS’ organizational priorities shifted away from providing these services and maintaining state licensing became too onerous.

Choice in Aging (Pleasant Hill; Brentwood)
The Choice in Aging (CiA) program centers administer Adult Day Programs and Community Based Adult Services, serving participants from Contra Costa, Solano and Napa Counties. CiA is planning to build a new $52M Aging in Place Campus in Pleasant Hill. The campus will include a senior affordable housing component, space for an adult day health care program (including memory case), and a Montessori preschool with intergenerational programming for children and seniors.

The City of Pleasant Hill is contributing $2.7M to the project from their Housing Asset Fund, which is estimated to be completed in 2024.

Silicon Valley Adult Day Health Care Center (Milpitas)
The Silicon Valley Adult Day Health Care Center provides services to about 80 clients per day.

They have daily activities that include a variety of physical exercise and mental stimulation programs such as dancing and Mahjong. They are licensed to provide developmentally disabled services to assist in acquiring and maintaining life skills for independent living. The Center provides round-trip transportation to and from clients’ homes. A staff of approximately 25 (both full- and part-time) includes at least one registered nurse and a social worker. Programs and operations are funded from Medi-Cal and state support.

Grace Adult Day Health Care Center (Santa Clara)
Grace Adult Day Health Care Center location in Santa Clara provides a full range of elderly health care, rehabilitative, social services, balanced meals, and transportation to approximately 70 daily clients. The center operates with a range of 17 – 45 full-time staff with an estimated monthly cost of $200,000 - $280,000 based on varying participant enrollments and program activity. Medi-Cal may cover the entire program cost to eligible participants.

Golden Castle Adult Day Health Center (Palo Alto)
Golden Castle Adult Day Health Center in Palo Alto is a licensed community-based day health program that provides services to older persons and adults with chronic medical, cognitive, or mental health conditions and/or disabilities in a coordinated program of professional and compassionate services in a community-based group setting. Services are designed to provide social and health services to adults who need supervised care in a safe place outside the home during the day. They also afford caregivers respite from the demanding responsibilities of caregiving. The Program stresses partnership with the participant, the family and/or caregiver, the primary care physician, and the community in working toward maintaining personal independence. Services may be paid for in full by Medi-Cal managed care plans and private long- term care insurance, for qualifying individuals. Individuals may also pay "out-of-pocket" as a cost- effective alternative to in-home care or other long term care services.

Conclusions
While several CBAS programs exist in the broader Bay Area, there are a limited number within Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. ADP are more prevalent but generally provide services for adults (18+) with developmental/intellectual disabilities, behavioral challenges, and other neurodevelopmental disabilities, and not solely for seniors.

Establishing an Adult Day Program (ADP) or Community Based Adult Services (CBAS) is a complex and multifaceted process that can take up to two years to complete. Such programs are subject to stringent licensing and certification regulations which require numerous specialized and technical staff. Furthermore, from Staff’s research, organizations that provide these services are private companies, most for-profit; none were managed, maintained, or operated by a City.

While ARPA funding would generally be acceptable for seed funding for the creation of an ADP or CBAS, such funds would need to be encumbered by December 31, 2024, and fully liquidated by December 31, 2026, in accordance with ARPA guidelines. Additionally, the City Council approved the budget for the remaining $2.5M ARPA funds through Fiscal Year 2023-24.

However, opportunities for a City to support these programs could include either financial support to organizations that provide these services or subsidies to low-income seniors to cover individual costs. If directed, Staff can reach out to these companies to understand what interest there may be in establishing and operating a program in the Tri-Valley and specifically Dublin.

Further, if there is interest, Staff can discuss with them the possible space and facility requirements necessary to offer such a program. With that information, Staff could evaluate options in the community or with future development projects. 110

Agenda Item 8.3
DATE: February 7, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Future Events at Don Biddle Community Park
Prepared by: Shaun Chilkotowsky, Heritage & Cultural Arts Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will receive a report on the possible relocation and addition of City events and festivals, including Splatter, to Don Biddle Community Park.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Receive the report and provide feedback.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Fiscal impacts will vary based on the specific event location change and subsequent format changes. The fiscal impact could range from negligible to $20,000 for larger events such as Splatter.

DESCRIPTION:

Background
Don Biddle Community Park (DBCP), a 30+ acre park located just east of Dougherty Road and immediately north of Dublin Boulevard, opened to the public on September 24, 2022. Located centrally within the City, the park features a great lawn, public art, multiple play areas, sports courts, and other amenities. DBCP was designed as a future civic gathering space while providing active and passive community opportunities.

Currently, the City’s Parks and Community Services Department coordinates special events and festivals at various parks and facilities throughout town. These events include the City’s signature St. Patrick’s Day Festival at Civic Center, Farmers’ Markets and Summer Concerts at Emerald Glen Park (EGP), holiday events, the Splatter festival, and others. With the completion of DBCP, Staff is exploring the feasibility of and interest in utilizing the site as an event location, in particular for the Splatter event.
120

Splatter Background
Splatter, the end of summer festival, began in 2012 at EGP and was branded as “Not your ordinary food, art and wine festival.” Over the years, the event has evolved to meet the community’s interest, meet best practices related to alcohol sales, and ensure a sustainable fiscal impact on the City’s general fund. In recent years, the festival footprint has been scaled back, and tasting pavilions have been transformed to open air dining tents with food and beverage provided in a format like the St. Patrick’s Day Festival. There are three stages of entertainment, a carnival, art activities, shopping, and the 2021 and 2022 festivals featured an art gallery held inside The Wave as well as a drone light show.

While feedback on the event has been positive in recent years, the festival has outgrown its current footprint, and adjustments such as moving the carnival off the grass and into a parking lot have been considered. Alternately, the City Council may consider moving the entire event to DBCP and incorporating format changes which are outlined below.

Splatter at Don Biddle Community Park
Staff has explored the feasibility of moving Splatter to DBCP and has identified factors that could influence the decision to move the event. The bullet points below highlight major logistic and programmatic elements to be considered.
 Footprint and Festival Layout
o The festival would focus on the use of the Great Lawn. This will provide a more cohesive event and allow all other amenities of the park to remain open, with the exception of the sports courts.
o The Great Lawn provides a larger event space. The usable area of the Great Lawn provides approximately 40% more space than is currently used at Emerald Glen (220,000 square feet vs. 150,000 square feet). The additional space allows the carnival to remain close to the entertainment stages.
o Larger pavilion tents would be utilized to create shaded seating areas. The 40’x40’ tents used at EGP would be increased to 40’x80’ at DBCP. o The marketplace and art activities would be set along the promenade loop, integrating them into the event space. This will naturally drive foot traffic, sales, and participation.
o Increased costs would come with the larger tenting and subsequent use of water barrels to anchor the tents as opposed to stakes. This is estimated at $12,000.  Stages/Entertainment
o Splatter has historically featured three stages of entertainment: the Main Stage, Amphitheatre Stage, and the Culinary or Side Yard Stage. With the move to DBCP, the number of stages would be reduced to two. The Main Stage would feature headlining bands, while the Second Stage would feature community-group-type performances typically held on the Amphitheatre and Side Yard stages at EGP. o The two stages would be set on either side of the Great Lawn facing each other.

During the daytime, performances could be rotated on both stages as the afternoon 121

Page 3 of 4 ends

moved along, with only the Main Stage running into the evening. An alternative would be to have stages back-to-back in the middle of the Great Lawn. This creates a unique feel but logistically splits the Great Lawn in half, creating underutilized space when both stages are not in use.
o An increased expense of approximately $4,000 would be necessary for the second stage on the Great Lawn. Rental of additional electrical equipment would also be required, as DBCP is not equipped with electrical infrastructure to meet the needs of a performance stage.
 Parking
o Parking is always a challenge with events this size. EGP has approximately 304 onsite parking spaces dedicated to the general public and accessible. At DBCP, there would be approximately 136 onsite parking spaces dedicated to the general public and accessible. Accessible parking is similar at each location, with general public parking being the significant difference between EGP and DBCP. o Staff anticipates the Iron Horse Trail Bridge being complete and intends to work with Bart to make this a “BARTable” event. This would include utilizing public transportation and the BART parking structure.
o As with past years, festival shuttles would run from locations such as Zeiss, Civic Center, and others located close to Dublin Blvd, allowing convenient access for the general public.
o At EGP, there is street parking along Central Parkway and Gleason Drive, and patrons overflow into residential areas for the one-day festival. Street parking along Horizon and Columbus could accommodate another 110 cars, plus use of the future school site can accommodate several hundred vehicles.
o EGP does allow for dedicated, onsite Staff and Vendor parking. At DBCP, this would transition to offsite parking only, and Staff would coordinate equipment drop-off and shuttles.
 Tasting Pavilion
o Staff is researching the possibility of reintroducing the Tasting Pavilion, which was last held in 2015. This “event within an event” would take place for 3-4 hours in the late afternoon/evening and require the purchase of tickets. o To implement this, Staff has identified three options:
 Work with a private event company to source local restaurants, breweries, and wineries, allowing an elevated tasting experience.
 Partner with an organization such as the Livermore Wine Growers Association or Visit Tri-Valley and focus on the participation of prominent local restaurants, breweries, and wineries.
 Hold a pairing event with one chef/restaurant where a menu of food, wine, and beer pairings are curated for guests to enjoy.
o The Tasting Pavilion would be in the enclosed tennis court area at DBCP. Staff would utilize equipment such as market umbrellas and cocktail tables to create an outdoor patio lounge experience. This could also be enclosed with a large tent should there be interest.
122

Page 4 of 4 ends

o Staff anticipates the Tasting Pavilion would cost between $10,000-$20,000, with the option of utilizing an event company on the higher end and a pairing event on the lower end. Approximately $5,000-$10,000 in revenue might be generated in ticket sales (100-200 tickets at $50 each).
 Art Gallery
o In 2021 and 2022, an art gallery and existing arts activities were incorporated into the event. This was located inside The Wave. In 2022, the art gallery was coordinated by the Dublin Arts Collective. Because DBCP does not have an indoor space to host a gallery, the Dublin Arts Collective is not interested in continuing this component. The art gallery could either be omitted from the event, or Staff could look to coordinate a community gallery, like what was done in 2021, although it would be outdoors.
 Drone Show
o Staff is planning on the return of the drone show at either location. While implementation details would need to be further refined at DBCP, Staff is confident that this new location is suitable.

Other Events at Don Biddle Community Park
While the main focus of Staff research has been on a change of location for Splatter, Staff has also adjusted the locations for Picnic Flix movie nights which were historically all held at EGP. For Summer 2023, the Picnic Flix movie night events will now be held at Heritage Park, DBCP, and EGP. Additional events for consideration could include Dublin Pride Week Volunteer Day, Holiday Tree Lighting, Farmers’ Market, and others. While the move of these events would require Staff to revisit program, logistic, and operational elements, none of these are of the same magnitude as Splatter.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

None.
