CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
DATE: November 15, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Patrick Heisinger, Interim City Manager
BY: Sandra Floyd, Human Resources Manager
SUBJECT: Classification Plan and Salary Schedule Update Recommendation
Adopt two Resolutions:
1. Approving the FY 2022-23 Classification Plan; and
2. Approving the FY 2022-23 Compensation Schedule.
Alignment with City Council Strategic Plan
This recommendation is primarily aligned with:
· Priority #3: Increase Organizational Effectiveness and Efficiency · Priority #5: Improve Communication and Enhance Community Engagement Background
Compensation, consisting of salary and benefits paid to employees of the City of East Palo Alto, is governed by the City’s Municipal Code, personnel policies, negotiated and authorized memoranda of understanding with the three employee bargaining units (MEA, SEIU, POA), authorized compensation for unrepresented employees, and authorized contractual agreements with the City Manager and City Attorney. As a member of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), the City also is subject to applicable provisions of the Public Employee Retirement Law (PERL) referenced in the California Government Code and the California Code of Regulations.
In accordance with East Palo Alto Municipal Code §2.8.110, and as further provided in the City’s Personnel Policies and Procedures approved by the City Council on August 28, 1985 (Resolution No. 00210), Rule 3.9.01 states that “annually, the City Council shall establish the pay range and steps assigned to each classification in the City service.” The City maintains a Classification and Compensation Schedule inclusive of all authorized employee classifications.
Human Resources is presenting for adoption the Fiscal Year 2022-23 City of East Palo Alto
3.1 Packet Pg. 5
Classification Plan and Compensation Schedule reflecting previously approved changes to employee classifications as well as previously authorized and budgeted compensation for approved classifications. Minimum wage salaries for Recreation Leader I and Temporary classifications are being updated to reflect the City’s minimum wage rate.
Analysis
Implementation of approved COLAs for Management Employees’ Association (MEA) members, Police Officer’s Association (POA) members, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) members, non-represented, non-contractual classifications the first full pay period following adoption by City Council on July 19, 2022 (effective July 24, 2022); In addition to local policy requirements and employee agreements, Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) §570.5 requires the City to adopt a publicly available pay schedule for purposes of determining the amount of “compensation earnable” pursuant to California Government Code §20630, §20636, and §20636.1. Generally, compensation earnable is calculated using employee payrate and special compensation earned while working for the entity. It is paramount to have a properly adopted and administered pay schedule to assure both public transparency and the accuracy of employee retirement benefits.
The City’s Classification and Compensation Schedule is required to meet eight criteria contained in CCR §570.5. The City Council must approve and adopt the pay schedule as a standalone document detailing the payrates for each employee position. The schedule must be publicly accessible, and available for auditing purposes for at least 5 years. The schedule also is required to include the following: position title; payrate for each position (ranges or steps); the time base for how pay is calculated (i.e., hourly, bi-weekly, etc.); payrate effective date and any applicable revision dates; and, the schedule may not reference another document in lieu of disclosing the payrate.
During the year, Council approved four positions and compensation schedules noted below:
a. Position 1 (effective June 7, 2022): Implementation of Planning Permit Technician (7/19/22);
b. Position 2 (effective June 7, 2022): Implementation of Part-Time Reserve Officer (7/19/22);
c. Position 3 (effective June 7, 2022): Implementation of Assistant to the City Manager LTD (07/19/22);
d. Position 4 (effective July 19, 2022): Implementation of Public Works Supervisor (07/24/2022).
To remain in compliance with City compensation ordinance, personnel policies, State requirements and CCR §570.5, staff is presenting the FY 2022-23 annual Classification and Compensation schedule.
Fiscal Impact
No fiscal impact associated with approval of the schedules.
Environmental Impact
The proposed actions are administrative decisions that will not have an effect on the environment and are statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

STAFF REPORT
DATE: November 15, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Patrick Heisinger, Interim City Manager
BY: Tomohito Oku, Finance Director
Bo-Kyoung Kim, Financial Services Manager
SUBJECT: FY2022-23 First Quarter Treasury Report
Recommendation
Accept and file the Treasury Report for the first quarter ended September 30, 2022 Alignment with City Council Strategic Plan
This recommendation is primarily aligned with:
Priority No. 3: Increase Organizational Effectiveness and Efficiency Priority No. 5: Improve Communication and Enhance Community Engagement Background
Pursuant to Section 53646 of the Government Code of the State of California, the City Treasurer may submit a quarterly report to the City Council regarding the funds and investments of the City. The Finance staff provides quarterly reporting to the City Council indicating the summary of investments for the period and denoting the ability of the City to meet its expenditure requirements for the next three months.
Analysis
This report covers primary cash and investments of the City. For investment purposes, City cash is pooled, except for bond proceeds, which are held by a trustee. The City does not have, nor is it legally required to have, separate bank accounts for each individual fund. However, all cash is segregated in the City’s accounting records.
As of September 30, 2022, the total deposit value of cash and investments equals $113,449,132. The book value of deposits equals $112,653,412 including outstanding checks
3.2 Packet Pg. 28
and other minor adjustments of $795,720. Compared to the prior quarter ending in June 2022, the FY 2022-23 first quarter (Q1) ending on September 30, 2022, total book value balance decreased by approximately $3.4M. The overall decrease is mainly due to a decrease in General Sub-Fund cash ($1.5M) attributed to approximately $1.2 million in General Liability member contributions ($0.8M) and in SFCJPA contribution ($0.4), and also a decrease in Successor Agency Fund cash ($1.3M) attributed to Principal and Interest payment.

The book market value totals $108,302,957 including an unrealized loss of $4,350,455 reflecting overall increases in treasury yields during the calendar year. The table below reflects changes in rates since September 30, 2021, and compared to the previous month of August 2022 demonstrating an increase in both short-term and long-term Treasury yields since September 30, 2021, across the curve.1:

2-year Treasury Note 4.22 3.45 0.28
5-Year Treasury Note 4.06 3.30 0.98
The City’s portfolio is invested in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and the San Mateo County Treasurer’s Pool. LAIF is a highly liquid investment pool operated by the State Treasurer, and the City has same-day access to the funds. The County Treasurer’s Pool is less liquid, and the maturity and diversification of the underlying securities which in normally functioning markets is generally expected to result in higher yield. City staff does not control or direct the underlying investment of funds and each pool is managed by the respective agency’s investment staff and oversight committee or board. June to September over quarter LAIF yields increased from 0.69% to 1.29% and San Mateo County Pool average gross pool earnings increased from 1.083% to 1.374%. San Mateo County Pool earnings are quoted on gross earnings.
Both LAIF and the County Pool fair value factors in the first quarter have dropped from 0.9871 to 0.9808 and from 0.9688 to 0.9589, respectively compared to the previous quarter. This is mainly due to the increase trend in Treasury yields indicated in the table above.
Pursuant to California Government Code 53646 the City shall meet its expenditure requirements for the next six months.

SUBJECT: Woodland Park Euclid Improvements Second Reading of Ordinances Recommendation
1. Waive the Second Reading and Adopt Ordinances enacting the Development Code and Zoning Map amendments (ZC19-002) establishing the Neighborhood Center Overlay District;
2. Waive the Second Reading and Adopt an Ordinance approving the Proposed Development Agreement for the Woodland Park Euclid Improvements Project Alignment with City Council Strategic Plan
This recommendation is primarily aligned with:
Priority No. 2: Enhance Economic Vitality
Priority No. 4: Improve Public Facilities and Infrastructure Priority No. 6: Create a Healthy and Safe Community
Background
City Council reviewed the Woodland Park Euclid Improvements project at the September 6, 2022, September 20, 2022, October 4, 2022, and November 1, 2022 City Council meetings.
Council adopted a resolution certifying the project’s Final Environmental Impact Report, adopting the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations at the October 4th meeting, but continued the item to the November 1, 2022 meeting to allow for revisions to the Development Code Amendment and to add additional oversight and reporting requirements over the Relocation Plan. On November 1, 2022, the City Council approved the remaining project entitlements, including adopting a Resolution approving the General Plan Amendment (GP19-001) establishing the Neighborhood Center Overlay Land Use Designation and adopting a resolution approving the
3.4 Packet Pg. 37
Design Review Permit (DR 19-028), Conditional Use Permit (CUP22-003), and Tentative Parcel Map (TTM19-001), approving the Relocation Plan dated September 2022; and authorizing the City Manager to execute a Notice of Special Restrictions applying the City's Rent Stabilization Ordinance to 160 new/replacement units in a form approved by the City Attorney. Council also waived the first readings and introduced three ordinances, including a Development Code amendment, Zoning Map amendment, and Development Agreement.
Analysis
City Council approved the project entitlements at the November 1, 2022 meeting with additional Conditions of Approval and non-substantive modifications to the Development Agreement, as described below.
Development Code and Zoning Map Amendment Ordinances
The project includes amendments to the Development Code, Zoning Map, and General Plan to create a Neighborhood Center Overlay (NCO) designation to increase density and building heights beyond the currently allowed standards in the High Density Residential (HDR) and Urban Residential (UR) land use designations for the Project site. The NCO District would allow a maximum residential density of 175 units per acre and maximum height of 13 stories or 140 feet (whichever is greater). The NCO designation would support development of higher density housing and encourage mid-rise and high-rise residential development with neighborhood-serving commercial and community uses at the ground floor. Permitted uses would be the same as those in the R-HD and R-UHD zoning districts, with the addition of neighborhood service uses at the ground floor as a permitted use rather than a conditionally permitted use.
The Zoning Map amendment applies the NCO zone to the project site (APNs: 063-282-010; 063-282-020; 063-282-030; 063-282-040; 063-282-050; 063-282-060; 063-282-070; 063-282- 080; 063-282-090; 063-281-020; 063-281-030; 063-281-040; 063-281-100 and 063-281-110).
Any future application for a zone change to the NCO zone would require approval by City Council and consistency with the Westside Area Plan prerequisites and policies. Per Council’s direction, the text within the Development Code Amendment limits the area for future application to properties within the Westside Area Plan zoned R-HD-5 or R-UHD bounded by West Bayshore Road, Euclid Avenue, O’Connor Street, and Manhattan Avenue and those parcels within the Westside Area Plan with frontage on Euclid Avenue.
City Council adopted the General Plan Amendment by resolution at the November 1, 2022 meeting. The Development Code Amendment Ordinance is included as Attachment A and the Zoning Map Amendment Ordinance is included as Attachment B.
Development Agreement
The City Council directed staff to make the following changes to the Development Agreement.
These provisions have been incorporated.
1. Off-Site Affordable Housing Units (Section 4.5.2 (d)): if fewer than 89 units (minimum off-site affordable housing units) are constructed within the off-site affordable housing project, an additional five percent affordable housing in-lieu fee payment for each of the units not constructed is required.
2. Safety Net Units (Section 4.5.3 (g)): if no offsite affordable housing project is constructed by the time of the DA term expiration, and the affordability restriction on the safety net units becomes permanent, an additional in-lieu fee payment of 25 percent of
3.4 Packet Pg. 38
the affordable housing in-lieu fee in effect at such time for 20 percent the project’s net new units (89 units as proposed) is required.
In addition, Staff made one minor revision to the language presented to Council at the November 1, 2022 meeting. The revision pertains to the provision regarding the in-lieu fee payment amount that would be triggered if the affordability restriction of the safety net units becomes permanent (Section 4.5.3(g)). The language discussed at the council meeting referred to an 89-unit affordable housing requirement (20% of the project’s 444 net new units).
The revised language refers to the 20% net new unit requirement rather than a discrete number of units to ensure internal consistency throughout the document and to index the affordable unit requirement to the actual number of units to be constructed. The changes above have been incorporated into the Development Agreement (Attachment C).
Additional Conditions of Approval
The City Council added the Conditions of Approval below to the project. Text in strikethrough and underline reflects modifications made by Council at the November 1st hearing, while the other conditions of approval were included as Attachment A to the November 1st staff report.

The Fiscal Impact Analysis concludes the proposed project itself is projected to have a positive net impact on the City of East Palo Alto’s General Fund, resulting in an estimated $1,109,000 in annual General Fund revenues in excess of the estimated annual General Fund expenditures required for the City to provide services to the project. Additional financial contributions to the City will be made through payment of Development Impact Fees and implementation of the project Conditions of Approval, as described above.

Overlay zoning districts are established through rezoning and only in conjunction with base zoning districts. Except as modified by the overlay zoning district, the provisions of the applicable base-zoning district apply to all development within the boundary of the designated area. If regulations conflict, the applicable overlay zoning district regulations shall prevail.
B. Whenever an overlay district is established, any subsequent change to the basezoning district shall not be construed to alter the overlay district.

C. The NCO Zone may only be applied to properties in the Westside Area designated as eligible for increases in intensity on a “project-by-project basis” as set forth by Westside Area Plan Policy 5.4 and Figure 11-12.
D.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY
3.1 Use of the Property and Applicable Law.
3.1.1 Subject to Agreement.
The Property is hereby made subject to the provisions of this Agreement. All development of, or on, the Property, or any portion thereof, shall be undertaken only in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and with Applicable Law.
3.1.2 Vested Rights.
The overall design, development, construction, and use of the Project and all improvements in connection therewith, including without limitation, permitted uses of the Property, the maximum density and/or number of residential units and commercial development, the intensity of use, the maximum height and size of the proposed buildings, provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes, provisions for payment of fees and other exactions, the conditions, terms, restrictions, and requirements for subsequent discretionary actions, the provisions for and financing for Public Improvements, and the other terms and conditions of development applicable to the Property as set forth in:

are hereby vested in Developer, subject to the provisions of this Agreement (the "Vested Elements"). The intent of this Section 3.1.2 is to cause all development rights which may be
3.4.c
Packet Pg. 64
Attachment: Ordinance Approving Development Agreement (with Development Agreement) (2474 : Woodland Park Euclid Improvements 9 551\95\3398553.1
required to develop the Project in accordance with this Agreement and the City Approvals to be deemed to be "vested rights" as that term is defined under California law applicable to the development of land or property and the right of a city to regulate or control such development of land or property. City hereby agrees to be bound with respect to the Vested Elements, subject to Developer's compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Project Approvals. By stating that the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Project Approvals control the overall design, development and construction of the Project, this Agreement is consistent with the requirements of California Government Code Section 65865.2 (requiring a development agreement to state permitted uses of the property, the density or intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings and provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes). Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 3.1.2 or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of any City Approvals (including Developer's rights and obligations thereunder) other than this Agreement, including without limitation any Subsequent City Approvals, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Developer's rights and obligations hereunder), the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Developer's rights and obligations hereunder) shall control.
3.1.3 Existing City Approvals and Applicable City Regulations. Prior to the Effective Date, the Developer shall have prepared two (2) sets of the Existing City Approvals and Applicable City Regulations, one (1) set for City and one (1) set for Developer, to which shall be added from time to time, Subsequent City Approvals, so that if it becomes necessary in the future to refer to any of the City Approvals or Applicable City Regulations, there will be a common set available to the Parties. Failure to include in the sets of City Approvals and Applicable City Regulations any rule, regulation, policy, standard or specification that is within the Applicable City Regulations and City Approvals as described in this Agreement shall not affect the applicability of such rule, regulation, policy, standard or specification.
3.2 No Conflicting Enactments.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any City Regulations that conflict with any Vested Elements shall not apply to the Project or the Property. For purposes of this Section
3.2 and Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.9, the word "conflict" means and refers to any City Regulation that has or purports to have any of the following effects: (i) reduces or limits the maximum density and intensity of use (including but not limited to the number, square footage and floor area ratios of buildings, the overall maximum number and square footage of residential units, parking or loading spaces, and the maximum amount of development space), or the maximum height, bulk or size of proposed buildings from that permitted by the City Approvals; (ii) changes any land use designation or permitted use of the Property from that shown in the City Approvals; (iii) limits, controls or delays the rate, timing, phasing or sequencing of the development, or construction of all or any part of the Property except as set forth in the Vested Elements; (iv) limits or restricts any right or use specifically granted by the Vested Elements; (v) limits the location of building sites, grading or other improvements on the Property in a manner that is inconsistent with the Project Approvals; (vi) imposes conditions upon development of the Property other than as permitted by the Vested Elements; (vii) contravenes, precludes or renders infeasible compliance with any provision of the Vested Elements; (viii) applies to the Project or the Property any New City Regulations (as defined in and subject to Section 3.4) that are not uniformly applied on a Citywide
3.4.c

Attachment: Ordinance Approving Development Agreement (with Development Agreement) (2474 : Woodland Park Euclid Improvements 10 551\95\3398553.1
basis to all substantially similar types of development projects and project sites (i.e., to all rental residential projects, to all commercial projects, to all mixed-use projects etc.); (ix) imposes against the Project or the Property any condition, dedication or other Exaction not specifically authorized by the Vested Elements; or (x) imposes against the Project or the Property any obligations regarding affordable housing or relocation not specifically required by the Existing City Approvals.
3.3 Reservations of Authority.
The development of the Project will require Subsequent City Approvals. At the time Subsequent City Approvals are applied for, the following City Regulations shall apply to those Subsequent Approvals:
3.3.1 Subject to Section 4.3.2, all Processing Fees which are in force and effect within the jurisdiction of the City for the class of Subsequent City Approvals being applied for.
3.3.2 Subject to Section 4.3.3, all Impact Fees, other fees, or other monetary and non-monetary exactions imposed by the City which are in force and effect within the jurisdiction of the City for a broadly based class of land, projects, or discretionary or ministerial approvals, or taxpayers, as applicable, on which they are imposed.
3.3.3 Procedural regulations relating to hearing bodies, petitions, applications, notices, findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals and any other matter of procedure, which are in force and effect within the jurisdiction of the City for the class of City Permits being applied for.
3.3.4 Regulations governing construction standards and specifications including, without limitation, the City's building code, plumbing code, mechanical code, electrical code, fire code and grading code, all provisions of Title 15 of the East Palo Alto Municipal Code, and all other uniform construction codes which are in force and effect within the jurisdiction of the City for the class of Subsequent City Approvals being applied for.
3.4 Subsequently Enacted Rules and Regulations.
The City may during the term of this Agreement apply such new City Regulations ("New City Regulations") that are in force and effect within the jurisdiction of the City for the class of Subsequent City Approvals being applied for and which are not in conflict with the terms of this Agreement (including the Vested Elements) or the City Approvals. To the extent any New City Regulation conflicts with the terms of this Agreement (including the Vested Elements) or the City Approvals, the terms of this Agreement or the City Approvals, as applicable, shall prevail and to such extent, such New City Regulation shall not apply to the Property or the Project.
3.5 Nexus/Reasonable Relationship Waiver.
Developer consents to, and waives any rights it may have now or in the future, to challenge with respect to the Project or Existing City Approvals, the legal validity of, the conditions, requirements, policies, or programs applicable to the Project pursuant to this Agreement, the Existing City Approvals or Applicable City Regulations, including, without limitation, any claim
3.4.c
Packet Pg. 66
Attachment: Ordinance Approving Development Agreement (with Development Agreement) (2474 : Woodland Park Euclid Improvements 11 551\95\3398553.1
that they constitute an abuse of police power, violate substantive due process, deny equal protection of the laws, effect a taking of property without payment of just compensation, or impose an unlawful tax. In the event Developer challenges any newer, subsequently enacted, City Regulation, enacted by City in accordance with and subject to Section 3.4, or any increased or new fee permitted under and subject to Sections 3.3 and 4.3, on any grounds other than the City's breach of the provisions of those Sections, City shall have the right to withhold additional development approvals or permits until the matter is resolved; provided, however, Developer shall have the right to make payment or performance under protest, and thereby receive the additional approval or permit while the matter is in dispute.
3.6 Initiatives and Referenda.
3.6.1 If any City Regulation is enacted or imposed by a citizen-sponsored initiative or referendum, or by the City Council directly or indirectly in connection with any proposed initiative or referendum, which City Law would conflict with this Agreement or the City Approvals, such City Law shall not apply to the Project. The parties, however, acknowledge that the City's approval of this Agreement is a legislative action subject to referendum.
3.6.2 Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, no City-adopted moratorium or other limitation (whether growth control or otherwise relating to the rate, timing, phasing or sequencing of development) affecting Subdivision Maps, building permits, or other Subsequent Approvals shall apply to the Project. Developer agrees and understands that the City does not have authority or jurisdiction over another public agency's authority to grant a moratorium or impose any other limitation that may affect the Project.
3.6.3 The timing, sequencing, and phasing of the development is solely the responsibility of Developer so long as it is consistent with Applicable Law. In particular, the parties desire to avoid the result of Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo (1984) 37 Cal.3d 465, where the failure of the parties therein to consider and expressly provide for the timing of the development resulted in a later adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over such parties' agreement. While, as of the Effective Date, the Parties anticipate development of the Project in no more than two phases, it may become necessary for financing, marketing, thencurrent market conditions or other reasons to develop the Project in more than two phases. The Parties therefore acknowledge that Developer shall have the right to develop the Project at such time, and in any such phases, as Developer deems appropriate so long as such development is consistent with Applicable Law.
3.6.4 The City shall cooperate with Developer and shall undertake such actions as may be necessary to ensure this Agreement remains in full force and effect.
3.7 Compliance With Requirements of Other Governmental Entities.
3.7.1 During the Term, Developer, at no cost to City, shall comply with lawful requirements of, and obtain all permits and approvals required by Other Agencies in furtherance of this Agreement ("Other Agency Approvals"). Developer shall pay all required fees when due to Other Agencies and acknowledges that City does not control the amount of any such fees.
3.4.c
Packet Pg. 67
Attachment: Ordinance Approving Development Agreement (with Development Agreement) (2474 : Woodland Park Euclid Improvements 12 551\95\3398553.1
3.7.2 City shall cooperate with Developer in Developer's effort to obtain Other Agency Approvals, provided that same does not impose any costs on or require the City to incur any costs without compensation or reimbursement, or require the City to amend any of the City's policies, regulations, or ordinances.
3.7.3 As provided in California Government Code § 65869.5, this Agreement shall not preclude the application to the Property and Project of changes in laws, regulations, plans, or policies, to the extent that such changes are specifically mandated and required by changes in State or Federal laws or regulations. In the event changes in the law prevent or preclude compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such State or Federal laws or regulations. The parties shall meet and confer in good faith in order to determine whether such provisions of this Agreement shall be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with changes in the law, and City and Developer shall agree to such action as may be reasonably required. It is the intent of the parties that any such modification or suspension be limited to that which is necessary and to preserve to the extent possible the original intent of the parties in entering into this Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the extent it is not inconsistent with such laws or regulations. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the City or Developer from contesting by any available means (including administrative or judicial proceedings) the applicability to the Property or Project of any such State or Federal laws or regulations.
3.7.4 To the extent that any actions of Federal or State agencies (or actions of other governmental agencies, including City, required by Federal or State agencies, or actions of City taken in good faith to prevent adverse impacts upon City by actions of Federal, State or other governmental agencies) have the effect of preventing, delaying, or modifying development of the Property or any portion thereof, City shall not in any manner be liable for any such prevention, delay, or modification. Such actions include, but are not limited to, flood plain or wetlands designations and actions of City or other governmental agencies as a result; the imposition of air quality or transportation measures or sanctions and actions of City or other governmental agencies as a result; or changes to CEQA and actions of City or other governmental agencies as a result.
As a condition to being able to proceed with development, Developer may be required, at its cost, to participate in such regional or local programs and to be subject to such development restrictions as may be necessary or appropriate by reason of actions of Federal, State or other governmental agencies (or action of City taken in order to prevent adverse impacts upon City by actions of Federal, State, or other governmental agencies).
3.8 City's Police Power.
The parties acknowledge and agree that the limitations, reservations, and exceptions contained in this Agreement are intended to reserve to the City that part of its police power which cannot be limited by contract, and this Agreement shall be construed to reserve to the City that part of its police power which cannot be restricted by contract.
3.9 Subsequent City Approvals for the Property.
3.9.1 Processing of Subsequent City Approvals. Applications for Subsequent City Approvals are anticipated to be submitted to the City by Developer. Applications for

Subsequent City Approvals shall be processed and considered in a manner consistent with the rights granted by this Agreement and Applicable Law, including without limitation the Existing City Approvals. At such time as any Subsequent City Approval is approved by the City, then such Subsequent Approval shall become subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to City Approvals and shall be treated as a "City Approval" for all purposes under this Agreement.
3.9.2 Scope of Review of Subsequent City Approvals. By approving the Existing City Approvals, City has made a final policy decision that the development of the Project consistent with the Vested Elements is in the best interests of the public health, safety and general welfare. Accordingly, City shall not use its authority in considering any application for a Subsequent City Approval that is consistent with the Vested Elements to change the policy decisions reflected by the Vested Elements, or otherwise to prevent, delay or render infeasible development of the Project as set forth in the City Approvals. The City shall not deny an application for a Subsequent Project Approval that is consistent with the Vested Elements, unless and to the extent otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.7.3 or Section 3.7.4. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of the City to require the necessary reports, analysis, or studies to assist in determining whether the requested Subsequent City Approvals are consistent with the Vested Elements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not prevent the City, in acting on Subsequent City Approvals, from applying land use regulations which do not conflict with the Vested Elements.
3.9.3 Conditions of Subsequent City Approvals. City shall have the right to impose reasonable Conditions upon Subsequent City Approvals; provided, however, such Conditions (a) shall not limit or prevent development of the Property for the uses and to the density and intensity of development included in the Existing City Approvals and any other City Approvals previously granted, (b) shall not require dedications or reservations for, or construction or funding of, Public Improvements beyond those already included or referenced in the Existing City Approvals, the Mitigation Measures (except to the extent required by CEQA in connection with any Subsequent City Approvals) or Section 4.4, and (c) shall not otherwise conflict with the Vested Elements. Developer may protest any Conditions while continuing to develop the Property, provided however, if Developer's protest relates to fees or exactions Developer may pay such fees or exactions under protest pursuant to Section 3.5.
3.9.4 Subdivision Maps. Developer may from time to time file applications for Subsequent City Approvals of Subdivision Maps (including provisions therein for phased Subdivision Maps) with respect to some or all of the Property in accordance with applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and the Municipal Code. All Subdivision Maps may be processed in phases. City shall exercise its discretion in reviewing such Subdivision Map applications in accordance with this Section 3.9.
3.10 Life of City Approvals.
The terms of (a) any Subdivision Maps included within the City Approvals and (b) all other City Approvals shall automatically be extended for the longer of the duration of this Agreement (including any extensions thereof) or the term otherwise applicable to the City Approvals if this Agreement is no longer in effect.

reasonable and actual costs relating to the hiring of consultants and the performing of studies as may be necessary to review or process any applications for City Approvals or perform any related environmental review.
4.3.3 Impact Fees.
(a) Definition. As used in this Agreement, "Impact Fees" means all fees, charges, contributions, exactions, dedications, reservations, or impositions, other than taxes and assessments, whether established for or imposed upon the Project individually or as part of a class of projects, that are imposed by City on the Project in connection with any City Approval for any purpose, including, without limitation, defraying all or a portion of the cost of public services and/or facilities construction, improvement, operation and maintenance attributable to the impact or burden created by the Project. Impact Fees do not include: (a) any Processing Fees; (b) any Mitigation Measure (unless the Mitigation Measure consists of payment of an Impact Fee); (c) any inclusionary or other affordable housing in-lieu fees (which are governed by the provisions of Section 4.5); (d) any Community Benefits to be provided by Developer hereunder (which are governed by the provisions of Article V); (e) taxes or special assessment; (f) any utility connection fees in effect from time to time generally applicable on a City-wide basis to similar land uses as the Project; (g) any fees, taxes, assessments, or impositions imposed by the City or other entities that the City collects on behalf of such other entities, including without limitation school fees or regional transportation impact fees, all of which shall be due and payable by Developer as and when due in accordance with Applicable Law; or (h) any relocation payments or benefits. Without limiting the preceding, the Impact Fees in existence as of the Effective Date are set forth in attached Exhibit B ("Existing Impact Fees").
(b) Payment.
(i) Generally. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.3.3, Developer shall pay all applicable Impact Fees at the time that Developer obtains the first building permit for the Project.
(ii) Freeze Period. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, during the Freeze Period no new or increased Impact Fees shall apply to the development of the Project, except that the amounts of the Existing Impact Fees shall be subject to adjustment for inflation pursuant to Municipal Code Section 13.28.100.A in effect as of the start of the Freeze Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the East Palo Alto Sanitary District becomes integrated into the City government, new or increased Impact Fees related to sewer and sanitation are not subject to the Freeze Period.

3.4.c
Packet Pg. 71
Attachment: Ordinance Approving Development Agreement (with Development Agreement) (2474 : Woodland Park Euclid Improvements 16 551\95\3398553.1
value of the community benefit is not less than $2,000,000. If the cost of the water tank, pump station and related land is less than the sum of $2,000,000 plus the total amount of the required fees, the Developer shall pay the difference to the City as a community benefit payment. If for any reason, Developer is not required to build the water tank, Developer shall be required to pay the full amount of water capacity fees and public facilities fees as well as a community benefit payment of $2,000,000;
(ii) Transportation Infrastructure Credit. Developer shall receive a credit against transportation infrastructure impact fees for specific streetscape or frontage improvements, including on-street parking that increases the number of on-street stalls beyond what would be provided with parallel parking, bike lanes, and other transportation infrastructure, above City standards as stated in Municipal Code Section 15.04.040. Improvements included toward the credit against transportation infrastructure impact fees will include a high-visibility crosswalk with appropriate traffic calming measures at the intersection of O'Connor Street and Manhattan Avenue to connect the Project to the University Circle complex, to facilitate greater neighborhood connection and to provide a convenient path for nearby residents to access the future University Avenue pedestrian and bike overpass. City approval of the crosswalk will be required as part of the building permit review;
(iii) Park Credit. Developer shall receive a credit against parks and trails fees for the cost of constructing the Park Space (including children's play area, gathering area, and fitness area together with associated landscaping and hardscaping) for public use as described in Section 5.1.1.

3.4.c
Packet Pg. 72
Attachment: Ordinance Approving Development Agreement (with Development Agreement) (2474 : Woodland Park Euclid Improvements 17 551\95\3398553.1
cost, for the construction and installation of all Public Improvements for the Project required by Applicable Law and the City Approvals.
4.5 Affordability Requirements. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Section 4.4 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the City Affordable Housing Guidelines (as defined in Section 4.5.1 below).
4.5.1 Affordable Housing Plan. This Section 4.5 shall constitute both the Affordable Housing Plan for the Project required by Municipal Code section 18.38.060 and the Inclusionary Housing Plan required by Municipal Code section 18.37.090.A, as well as the affordable housing agreement required by Municipal Code section 18.37.090.B, which incorporates an alternative compliance option, and shall be deemed to satisfy, and satisfy, any and all of the Project's obligations pursuant to Municipal Code Chapters 18.35 (Affordable Housing - Basic Provisions), 18.37 (Inclusionary Housing) and 18.38 (Affordable Housing Impact Fee - Residential Development) (collectively, together with any and all inclusionary housing guidelines and other City Regulations pertaining to affordable housing, the "City AH Regulations"), including without limitation the obligation to provide any other or additional affordable rental housing units ("AH Units") or pay any Affordable Housing Impact Fee, and no additional Conditions with respect to affordable housing will be imposed by City under the City AH Regulations or otherwise.
4.5.2 Off-Site Affordable Housing Units. It is the mutual intent of the Parties under this Section 4.5 that the AH Developer (defined below) shall construct the Off-Site AH Units (defined below) on an Off-Site AH Parcel (defined below), which Off-Site AH Parcel shall be encumbered by a regulatory agreement to be recorded against the Off-Site AH Parcel and transferred to the AH Developer (as defined below). The City AH Guidelines provide in this instance that, in the absence of an alternative compliance option approved by the City Council, a total number of on-site AH Units (affordable to households meeting the income levels specified in the City AH Guidelines) ("On-Site AH Units") equal to 20% of the Net New Units would be required to be developed on the Property. In accordance with all applicable requirements of the City AH Regulations, the City Council hereby approves the following alternative compliance option (the "Approved Compliance Option"):
(a) Eden Housing or such other nonprofit affordable housing developer (or partnership or limited liability company controlled by Eden Housing and/or such other nonprofit affordable housing developer) (the "AH Developer") reasonably acceptable to City and under appropriate contract with Developer to provide AH Units off-site of the Property ("Off-Site AH Units") will construct a total number of Off-Site AH Units equal to 20% of the Net New Units at one or more off-site parcels in the City owned or controlled by Developer or a Developer Affiliate as of the time of donation of such parcel(s) to the AH Developer pursuant to the provisions hereof (the "Off-Site AH Parcel"). Developer shall notify City in writing of the precise location and description of the anticipated Off-Site AH Parcel no later than the issuance of the first building permit for dwelling units at the Project. The 5% difference between the number of On-Site AH Units (that would otherwise be required in the absence of the Approved Compliance Option) and the number of Off-Site AH Units that would be required under the City AH Regulations will be achieved or exceeded by Developer providing within the Project 160 units subject to the RSO pursuant to a deed restriction recorded against the Property (pursuant to the provisions of the RSO in effect as of the Effective Date) ("RSO Units").
3.4.c
Packet Pg. 73
Attachment: Ordinance Approving Development Agreement (with Development Agreement) (2474 : Woodland Park Euclid Improvements 18 551\95\3398553.1
(b) Affordability levels for the Off-Site AH Units shall be at or lower than the following income levels (based on the standard requirements for On-Site AH Units): (i) 25% of such units available to and rented at rents affordable to 35% AMI households; (ii) 50% of such units available to and rented at rents affordable to Very Low Income Households (up to 50% AMI); and (iii) 25% of such units available to and rented at rents affordable to Low Income Households (up to 60% AMI).
(c) Developer shall donate the Off-Site AH Parcel to the AH Developer no later than the issuance by City to the AH Developer of building permits for construction of the Off-Site AH Units on the Off-Site AH Parcel. Concurrently with such donation, and following review by Developer, the AH Developer shall execute a regulatory agreement with the City pursuant to the City AH Regulations, to be recorded against the Off-Site AH Parcel. If a regulatory agreement with the City has been recorded against any properties containing Safety Net Units pursuant to Section 4.5.3(g), such regulatory agreement shall be released, in whole or in part, from Safety Net Location title (one for one per AH Unit). Developer also shall provide "gap" financing to the AH Developer ("AH Gap Financing"), with a total value per Off-Site AH Unit (for which building permits have been obtained) equal to the value of the amount of the inclusionary housing in-lieu fee in effect at the time the AH Gap Financing is made to the AH Developer, based on the calculation set forth in the Inclusionary Housing Guidelines in effect as of the Effective Date of this Agreement (the "Guidelines Calculation"), less the amount of the credit set forth in Section
4.5.2(e) below. Developer shall provide the AH Gap Financing prior to or simultaneously with obtaining the first residential building permit. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in no event shall Developer be obligated hereunder to construct any Off-Site AH Units. (d) The Parties anticipate that, based on the anticipated estimated size of an Off-Site AH Parcel, the AH Developer would construct approximately between 70-89 OffSite AH Units thereon. If the AH Developer's planning application for the Off-Site AH Units is for fewer than 20% of the Net New Units (the "Minimum Off-Site AH Units"), then Developer shall be required to pay to the City upon issuance of building permits for dwelling units in the Project, with respect to each Minimum Off-Site AH Unit not then constructed, an in-lieu fee in the amount of the inclusionary housing in-lieu fee amount in effect at the time of issuance of the first building permit for the Project, based on the Guidelines Calculation (the "AH In-Lieu Fee"), plus an additional five percent (5%) of the AH In-Lieu Fee for each of the Minimum Off-Site Units not constructed. If the AH Developer has not submitted planning applications for the Off-Site AH Units before issuance of the first building permit for the Project because of the occurrence of one or more of the types of events described within the definition of Permitted Delay in Section 1.1.25 (together, "AH Force Majeure"), Developer shall pay the AH In-Lieu Fee at the time such planning applications are submitted but in no event later than the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for the Project. For avoidance of doubt, the AH In-Lieu Fee is intended to cover the difference between the number of Off-Site AH Units actually constructed on the Off-Site AH Parcel and the number of AH Units that would otherwise be required under the City AH Regulations to meet the requirement for 20% On-Site AH Units. The total amount of AH In-Lieu Fees payable under this Section 4.5.2(d) shall be adjusted to reflect any variance in the number of AH Units actually constructed on the Off-Site AH Parcel at the time that building permits are issued for the Off-Site AH Units and also to reflect any Safety Net Units (defined in Section 4.5.3) that remain occupied by households ineligible to occupy an Off-Site AH Unit. Any adjustment to
3.4.c
Packet Pg. 74
Attachment: Ordinance Approving Development Agreement (with Development Agreement) (2474 : Woodland Park Euclid Improvements 19 551\95\3398553.1
the AH In-Lieu Fees will be further adjusted once a Safety Net Unit tenant ineligible for an OffSite AH Unit vacates the Safety Net Unit or their income exceeds that specified in Section 4.5.3(i). (e) Developer shall receive, for the transfer of the Off-Site AH Parcel pursuant to Section 4.5.2(c) above, a credit against the amount of any AH Gap Financing required to be provided by Developer pursuant to Section 4.5.2(c), equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined and determined below) of the Off-Site AH Parcel as of the date of such transfer. City and Developer shall meet and confer commencing not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the then anticipated date of transfer of the Off-Site AH Parcel, or by such other date as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties and expiring upon such subsequent date that either Party notifies the other of the termination of such meet and confer process (the "FMV Negotiation Period"), in a good faith effort to reach agreement upon the fair market value of the Off-Site AH Parcel, based upon its highest and best use (the "Fair Market Value"). If City and Developer are unable to agree upon Fair Market Value within the FMV Negotiation Period, City and Developer agree that the Fair Market Value shall be determined by a board of two appraisers (each an "Appraiser"), one of whom shall be named by the City and one of whom shall be named by Developer, both of whom shall appraise the Off-Site AH Parcel based on appraisal instructions mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Developer shall pay the costs of the Appraisers. Each of the Appraisers shall be licensed in the State of California as a real estate appraiser, be a member of the Appraisal Institute, and have at least ten (10) years' experience appraising properties similar to and in the vicinity of the Off-Site AH Parcel. City and Developer agree to make their appointments within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the FMV Negotiation Period, or by such other date as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Within forty-five (45) days after the expiration of the FMV Negotiation Period, City's Appraiser and Developer's Appraiser shall submit to one another his or her determination of the Fair Market Value. If the determinations by the two Appraisers differ by less than ten percent (10%) of the highest appraisal, then the FMV shall be deemed to be the average of the two determinations. If the preceding sentence does not apply, then City's Appraiser and Developer's Appraiser shall select a third Appraiser (with the same qualifications as set forth above) within fifteen (15) days after the City's Appraiser and Developer's Appraiser submit their determinations to one another. Within ten (10) days after the Third Appraiser is selected, City's Appraiser and Developer's Appraiser shall submit their determinations to the Third Appraiser in order for the Third Appraiser to select either Developer's or City's Appraisers' determination as closest to the Fair Market Value. The third Appraiser shall make such selection within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the City's Appraiser's and Developer's Appraiser's determinations, and such selection by the third Appraiser shall be deemed the Fair Market Value and shall be binding upon the Parties. The Developer shall pay the full cost of the third Appraiser. (f) The planning application for the Off-Site AH Units shall be submitted to the City prior to issuance of building permits for the Project. Further, building permits for the Off-Site AH Units shall be pulled at or before the City's issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy, either temporary or permanent, for dwelling units in the Project. (g) To the extent permitted by law and by the requirements of any financing source(s) for development of the Off-Site AH Units, AH Developer shall give a preference in the rental of Off-Site AH Units to households who as a result of the Project were required to or elected to move and are beneficiaries of the Relocation Plan approved by the City as part of the Existing City Approvals, provided such households meet all eligibility requirements
3.4.c
Packet Pg. 75
Attachment: Ordinance Approving Development Agreement (with Development Agreement) (2474 : Woodland Park Euclid Improvements 20 551\95\3398553.1
for tenancy in an Off-Site AH Unit. Determination of whether this preference is permitted by law or financing source shall be at the sole and reasonable discretion of the legal counsel for the AH Developer and substantiated in a letter by same counsel.
4.5.3 Safety Net Units.
(a) If, by reason of any AH Force Majeure, building permits for all of the Off-Site AH Units at the Off-Site AH Parcel have not been obtained by the AH Developer by the time Developer seeks issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for dwelling units in the Project, Developer shall make the same number of AH Units (for which such building permits have not been pulled) available as On-Site AH Units on any land in the City owned by Developer or a Developer Affiliate (each, a "Safety Net Location"), available to lower income households consistent with the City's 2019 Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (Ord. No. 425) (i.e., 25% of units available to 35% AMI households (or lower); 50% of units available to Very Low Income Households (or lower); 25% of the units available to Low Income Households (or lower), as those terms are defined above) until Off-Site AH Units are available for occupancy ("Safety Net Units"). (b) Developer shall not displace any then-current tenant at any Safety Net Location in order to accommodate the required number of AH Units available to lower income households.
(c) All AH Units shall be in decent, safe and sanitary condition, meeting HUD's Housing Quality Standards and shall not have any code or habitability violations. (d) Safety Net Units may be dispersed throughout one or more Safety Net Locations, including the Property, and also may be clustered within certain buildings at a Safety Net Location at Developer's option.
(e) The City and Developer shall enter into a binding affordability restriction, which will be recorded against title for the Property, which shall be released from title once a Certificate of Occupancy is issued for the Off-Site AH Units and the occupants of the Safety Net Units are relocated to the Off-Site AH Units. Developer shall be required to report to the City annually the rent and household income of the occupants of the Safety Net Units as well as any other information reasonably requested by the City and will be required to provide notice of such units, including the income and reporting requirements to any potential buyer of a building containing such Safety Net Units and provide notice to the City if a building containing such Safety Net Units is sold.
(f) The Safety Net Units shall have the same number of bedrooms as applied for the Off-Site AH Units and besides bedroom counts and size will be comparable to other rental dwelling units in the same building per Municipal Code 18.38.070(D), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the City.
(g) If building permits for the Off-Site AH Units have not been obtained by the end of the Term of this Agreement due to AH Force Majeure, then the temporary affordability restrictions for the Safety Net Units shall thereupon become permanent, a regulatory agreement restricting the SafetyNet Units in perpetuity shall be recorded against the Safety Net Units (which agreement shall include the ability of Developer to relocate, from time to time and

with City approval, the Safety Net Units to one or more other Safety Net Locations and thereupon the regulatory agreement shall be released from title to the prior location concurrently with a regulatory agreement being recorded against title to the new location), the Developer shall pay, if not already paid, the AH In Lieu Fees, then the Developer shall also pay an amount equal to twentyfive percent (25%) of the AH In Lieu Fee in effect at such time multiplied by twenty percent (20%) of the number of Net New Units and the inclusionary and other affordable housing requirements under the City AH Guidelines with respect to the Project shall thereupon be deemed fully satisfied. (h) Households occupying the Safety Net Units shall be required to meet the occupancy requirements for the Off-Site AH Units with the goal that all such households will be relocated to the Off-Site AH Units once Certificates of Occupancy are issued for such OffSite AH Units. (i) If for any reason a household occupying a Safety Net Unit is ineligible to occupy one of the Off-Site AH Units, or if insufficient Off-Site AH Units are available for all tenants in the Safety Net Units, Developer shall be obligated to maintain the Safety Net Unit as an affordable unit as long as such household continues to occupy such unit and continues to be eligible for an affordable unit at or below 60% of area median income. A household shall be deemed to continue to be eligible to occupy a Safety Net Unit until such household's income exceeds 140% of 60% of the area median income, at which time the rent for such unit may be raised to the extent allowed by law.
4.6 City Obligations.
4.6.1 In addition to any other obligations of City set forth herein, and in consideration of Developer entering into this Agreement, City acknowledges and agrees that the primary purpose of this Agreement is to effectuate the terms of the City Approvals so that the Project is developed.
4.6.2 To the extent that a Subsequent City Approval requires an action to be taken by the City, the City shall timely and promptly process such Subsequent City Approval in accordance with Section 3.9. If requested by Developer, the Parties agree to have their respective staff persons hold regular periodic meetings to discuss the processing of Subsequent City Approvals. If requested by Developer, the City shall consider retaining outside consultants to assist the City in processing Developer's development applications, at Developer's sole cost.

The Community Function Space shall be built out to include: finished flooring, drop down or open concept ceilings, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and other decorations appropriate for the purpose of the space. (b) The Community Function Space may also host art installations of a temporary or permanent nature, provided they do not interfere with the community meeting hosting orientation of the space.
(c) The Community Function Space shall be available for use by the community and City between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. free of charge for events that conform to the purposes specified in Section (a). Use of the space will be operated and managed by the Developer in consultation with the City.

(f) No fewer than ninety (90) days before the Developer requests final inspection of the Project, Developer shall demonstrate the functionality of the Community Function Space reservation system for City's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
5.1.3 Bus Shelter / Transit Infrastructure.

5.1.4 New Water Infrastructure. Developer will provide a 1.5 million gallon water tank and pump system (and the land it is on), in coordination with City of East Palo Alto Public Works and Menlo Fire District, to improve the overall water conveyance, supply, and pressure in the neighborhood. In accordance with Section 4.3.3, a portion of this new infrastructure will be credited against the water capacity fees and public facilities fees otherwise payable by Developer for the Project. The cost incurred by the Developer in excess of the required water capacity fees and public facilities fees are considered a community benefit, provided, the cost of the water tank and pump station as well as related land exceeds the required water capacity and public facilities fees by at least $2,000,000. If the costs incurred by the Developer for the water tank, pump station and related land is less than the sum of the required water capacity fees, the public facilities fees and $2,000,000, Developer shall pay that difference to the City as a community benefit payment. If for any reason Developer is not required to construct the water tank and pump station, Developer shall be required to pay the required water capacity fees and public facilities fees for the Project and make a community benefit payment to the City of $2,000,000, to be paid at time of issuance of the first building permit.
5.1.5 Storm Drainage Improvements.

The Developer still intends to improve much of this area as part of the Euclid Improvements, consistent with or above the standards in Municipal Code section 15.04.040.

Subject to the provisions of this Article VI, City and Developer by mutual written agreement may terminate or amend, in whole or in part, the terms of this Agreement.
6.2 Minor Modifications and Major Amendments to Agreement.
6.2.1 Minor Modification. The Parties acknowledge that refinement and further implementation of the Project may demonstrate that certain clarifications, minor changes, or minor adjustments may be appropriate with respect to the details and performance of the Parties under this Agreement. The Parties desire to retain a certain degree of flexibility with respect to the details of the Project and with respect to those items covered in the general terms of this Agreement. If and when the Parties find that clarifications, minor changes, or minor adjustments are necessary or appropriate and do not constitute a Major Amendment under Section 6.2.2, they shall effectuate such clarifications, minor changes or minor adjustments as Minor Modifications through a written memorandum of Minor Modification ("Minor Modification Memorandum") approved in writing by the Developer and Director following Directors' consultation with the City Manager and submittal to the Planning Commission on the consent calendar, in conformance with Municipal Code section 18.108.040.A.3. For avoidance of doubt, any Minor Modification Memorandum shall not require any public hearing or any action by the Planning Commission or the City Council as a prerequisite to its execution or effectiveness. As used herein, "Minor Modification" shall mean any clarification, change, or adjustment to this Agreement which, in the context of the overall Project contemplated by this Agreement, does not substantially affect (i) the Term of this Agreement; (ii) permitted uses of the Property; (iii) provisions for the reservation or dedication of land; (iv) Conditions for Subsequent City Approvals; (v) the density or intensity of use of the Property or the maximum height or size of proposed buildings; or (vi) the nature, timing of delivery, or scope of Public Improvements required by the City Approvals.

This Agreement has been entered into in reliance upon the provisions of the Development Agreement Statute, as those provisions existed at the date of execution of this Agreement. No amendment or addition to those provisions which would materially affect the interpretation or enforceability of this Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement unless such amendment or addition is specifically required by the California State Legislature, or is mandated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If such amendment or change is permissive (as opposed to mandatory), this Agreement shall not be affected unless the parties mutually agree in writing, after following the procedures in Section 5.1, to amend this Agreement to permit such applicability.
6.5 Modification of City Approvals.
6.5.1 Generally. City Approvals (except for this Agreement, the amendment process for which is set forth in Section 6.2) may be amended or modified from time to time by means of a Subsequent City Approval, but only at the written request of Developer or with the written consent of Developer at its sole discretion. All amendments to the City Approvals shall automatically become part of the City Approvals. The permitted uses of the Property or portion thereof, the maximum density and/or number of residential units, the intensity of use, the maximum height and size of the proposed buildings, provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes, the conditions, terms, restrictions and requirements for subsequent discretionary actions, the provisions for public improvements and financing of public improvements, and the other terms and conditions of development as set forth in all such amendments shall be automatically vested pursuant to this Agreement, without requiring any amendment to this Agreement. City shall not request, process or consent to any amendment to the City Approvals that would affect the Property or the Project, or applicable portion thereof, without Developer's prior written consent.
6.5.2 Minor Changes in Site Plan and Design Review. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.5.1, upon the request of Developer, the Director may administratively approve minor modifications to any Site Plan and Design Review for the Project in accordance with Section 18.86.080 of the Municipal Code, and any such approval shall not require any amendment to this Agreement. Major modifications, as determined by the Planning Manager, shall require review and approval from the Planning Commission at a public hearing, and any such approval shall not require any amendment to this Agreement to the extent such approval does not change the Project as defined in this Agreement or require modification of this Agreement.
6.6 Effect of Termination on Developer's Obligations.
6.6.1 Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, termination or cancellation of this Agreement or termination of the rights of Developer as to the entire Property, or any part of the Property, shall not affect any of Developer's rights under or requirement to comply with the Development Approvals, the terms and conditions of any other Subsequent Approval, nor any payments then due and owing to City, nor shall it affect the covenants of Developer specified in Section 6.6.2 below, to continue after the termination or cancellation of this Agreement. Developer understands and agrees that the Development Approvals may be substantially modified in light of the circumstances resulting from the termination or cancellation of this Agreement or Developer's rights under this Agreement, and Developer shall have no rights

Pursuant to East Palo Alto Municipal Code Section 18.108.070, Developer shall initiate the review by filing an application with the City and provide all the documents and information necessary for the City to complete the annual review and make a determination of whether Developer is in compliance.

Upon its determination of compliance, the Developer may request a recordable certificate confirming Developer's compliance through the year under review. Developer may record the certificate with the San Mateo County Recorder's Office.
If the Director initially determines the Compliance Letter to be inadequate in any respect, the Director shall provide notice to that effect to Developer and schedule a public hearing. If after a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council finds and determines, on the basis of substantial evidence, that Developer has not complied substantially in good faith with the terms of this Agreement for the year under review, the City Council shall give written notice thereof to Developer specifying the noncompliance. If Developer fails to cure the noncompliance within a reasonable period of time as established by the City Council, but in no event less than 60 days from the date of receipt of such notice, the City Council, in its discretion, may (a) grant additional time for Developer's compliance, or, following the hearing, modify this Agreement to the extent necessary to remedy or mitigate the noncompliance, (b) may modify this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 below, or (c) terminate the Agreement pursuant to Article VI below.
7.4 No Waiver.
Failure of City to conduct an annual review shall not constitute a waiver by City of its rights to otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement nor shall Developer have or assert any defense to such enforcement by reason of any failure to conduct an annual review. City does not waive any claim of defect or breach by Developer if, following periodic review pursuant to this Article VII, City does not propose to modify or terminate this Agreement.

If the day for performance of any obligation under this Agreement is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, then the time for performance of that obligation shall be extended to the first following day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or holiday. The term "holiday" shall mean all holidays as specified in Sections 6700 and 6701 of the California Government Code. If any act is to be done by a particular time during a day, that time shall be Pacific Time Zone time. Time is of the essence in the performance of each and every covenant and obligation to be performed by the Parties under this Agreement.
14.11 Permitted Delay.
Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Term of this Agreement and the City Approvals and the time within which either Party shall be required to perform any act under this Agreement shall be extended by a period of time equal to the number of days during which performance of such act is delayed by a Permitted Delay. An extension of time for any Permitted Delay shall commence to run from the time of the commencement of the cause of such Permitted Delay, if Notice by the Party claiming such extension is sent to the other Party within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the cause and the Party receiving such notice does not object to such extension in writing within fifteen (15) days after receiving notice. Upon such an objection, the Parties shall meet and confer within thirty (30) days after the date of the objection in good faith to resolve their disagreement as to the existence and length of the Permitted Delay. If no mutually acceptable solution can be reached either Party may take action as permitted pursuant to Section 8.2. Except for any Permitted Delay attributable to a Third Party Challenge or a failure of the East Palo Alto Sanitary District to issue a "will serve" letter or certification for the Project, in no event shall this Agreement be extended for a single Permitted Delay for longer than one hundred eighty (180) days or for all Permitted Delays cumulatively for eighteen (18) months. Times of performance under this Agreement may also be extended in writing by the mutual agreement of the City Manager and Developer.

SUBJECT: Inclusionary Housing Alternative Compliance Option for 717 Donohoe St. (APN 063-374-350)
Recommendation
Conduct a public hearing and adopt a Resolution:
1. Finding that the proposed Alternative Compliance Option for the residential development project located at 717 Donohoe (APN 063-374-350) to provide on a vacant property one deedrestricted unit for a Median-Income Household and two deed restricted units for ModerateIncome Households fulfills the project’s inclusionary housing obligation under Section
18.37.080 of the East Palo Alto Municipal Code; and
2. Directing the City Manager to execute all required documents, in a form approved by the City Attorney, associated with the Inclusionary Housing requirements of the Project.
Alignment with City Council Strategic Plan
This recommendation is primarily aligned with:
Priority No. 6: Create a Healthy and Safe Community
Background
717 Donohoe Residential Development Project
The project located at 717 Donohoe St., APN 063-374-350 (“Project”), is a proposed residential development on a currently vacant lot of over 26,136 square feet. The Project applicant is Tom He representing 8M Property-4 LLC (“Applicant”). The Project area is zoned as Multiple-Family Medium Density Residential Zone-2 (“R-MD-2”). The proposal is to build fourteen two-story residential ownership developments, utilizing East Palo Alto Municipal Code Chapter 18.36, adopted to conform with State Density Bonus Law (Government Code Section 65915 - 65918) (together “Density Bonus Law”). Instead of providing the standard inclusionary
8.1 Packet Pg. 106
housing obligation of two Inclusionary Units and an In-Lieu Fee Payment for 0.8 units, the developer is proposing to deed-restrict three units, one for a “Median-Income Household” and two for “Moderate-Income Households” as an Alternative Compliance Option.
An Alternative Compliance Options requires that City Council approve the Applicant’s Inclusionary Housing Plan prior to the development proposal. The purpose of this staff report is for Council to consider the Alternative Compliance Option under the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (“IHO”). If the Inclusionary Housing Plan is approved, the project’s entitlements, which include a Design Review and Tentative Map, would be scheduled for approval by the Planning Commission once the project is ready for a decision.
See the Applicant’s Inclusionary Housing Plan and tentative design plan in Attachment 2.

Inclusionary Housing Requirement
All residential development projects are subject to the requirements of Chapter 18.37 of the East Palo Alto Municipal Code (“EPAMC”) Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (“IHO”), adopted by City Council on November 19, 2019.
The IHO requires an Inclusionary Housing Plan to be approved by the Housing Division prior to scheduling the project for Planning Commission action. The content of the Inclusionary Housing Plan is incorporated into the Housing Division conditions of approval.
In the Inclusionary Housing Plan, applicants must select from a list of options (“Inclusionary Housing Compliance Options”) that demonstrate how a project will meet the inclusionary requirement. Upon staff’s request, the Applicant agreed to select “Other” and proposes an Alternative Compliance Option, as shown in Attachment 2. Under the IHO, all alternative compliance options require City Council approval. This alternative is discussed in detail in the analysis section.
Analysis
Standard Inclusionary Housing Requirements
Pursuant to the City of East Palo Alto Municipal Code Chapter 18.37 - Inclusionary Housing, a developer of an ownership residential development with five or more units must provide twenty percent (20%) of the dwelling units in the residential development as Inclusionary Units upon the same site as the residential development, with 50 percent of the Inclusionary Units available at an affordable sales price to households at 70% of the Area Median Income (“Median-Income Households”) and 50 percent of the Inclusionary Units available at an
8.1 Packet Pg. 107
affordable sales price to households at 110% of the Area Median Income (“Moderate-Income Households”). Fractions of an Inclusionary Unit shall be provided by the payment of an In-Lieu ee as established in Section 18.37.050.B.
The In-Lieu Fee for ownership/for-sale residential units for Fiscal Year 2022-23 is $190,000. 717 Donohoe Inclusionary Housing Requirement
The proposed Project consists of 14 ownership/for-sale units which requires the following: 1) two Inclusionary Units on-site, with one unit at an affordable sales price to a Median-Income Household and one unit at an affordable sales price to a Moderate-Income Household; and 2) an In-Lieu Fee Payment for 0.8 Inclusionary Units or $152,000.
Inclusionary Housing Alternative Compliance Options
Section 18.37.080 allows a developer to pursue an Alternative Compliance Option with approval by the City Council. The IHO identifies two Alternative Compliance Options:
1. Provide Inclusionary Units off-site equal to 25% of the units in the project at the lowest affordability level; or
2. Other Alternative Compliance Options as proposed by the applicant.
The applicant has chosen Option 2 and is proposing an Other Alternative Compliance Option for consideration by City Council that is further discussed below.
Inclusionary Housing Standards
Section 18.37.060 of the EPAMC describes the standards for Inclusionary Units. These standards are relative to the market-rate units in a project and include:
· Comparability in exterior appearance and overall quality of construction (to the marketrate unit) · Comparability in average bedroom mix and unit size
· Dispersion of Inclusionary Units throughout the project, rather than a single location · Same amenities (access to common open space, parking, storage, etc.) The purpose of these standards is to ensure that the Inclusionary Units are indistinguishable from the market-rate units and well-integrated into the project.
Proposed Alternative Compliance Option
If an applicant selects Option 1, providing units off-site, the requirement is to provide the equivalent of 25% of the total number of units. Any proposed “Other” Alternative Compliance Option should demonstrate equivalent or greater public benefit than Option 1, and this is the basis upon which the proposal is evaluated.
The Applicant proposes to provide three inclusionary housing units on-site, one to be sold at an affordable price for a Median-Income Household and two to be sold at an affordable price for Moderate-Income Households.
Table 2 below demonstrates the income limits for median and Moderate-Income Households based on the City’s 2022 household income limits.
8.1 Packet Pg. 108
Table 2. East Palo Alto 2022 Household Income Limits for Median- and Moderate- Income Households
Household Size 1 2 3 4
Median Income $91,350 $104,400 $117,450 $130,500
Moderate Income $139,450 $159,350 $179,300 $199,200
Based on the City’s 2022 household income limits and January 2022 market data, the FY 2022-2023 affordable sales price for the three-bedroom inclusionary units would be approximately $788,500 for Median-Income Households and just over $1.1 million for Moderate-Income Households. The market sales price would approximate $1.4 million. The future sales price will be based on most current available data (e.g. most current interest rates, homeowner association dues, utilities, and property insurance).
Density Bonus Law Applicability
The current proposed design of this Project, including the “Other” Alternative Compliance Option, is not compliant with the development standards for the Multiple-Family Medium Density Residential Zone (“R-MD-2”) zoning designation.
The R-MD-2 zoning allows for a wide range of multi-family residential opportunities, including duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, rowhouses, townhouses, courtyard multiple-family buildings and small-scale multi-family buildings. This zone is intended to provide for an increase in housing units to meet affordability and other community goals and is located to provide a transition between higher density residential, mixed-use, and commercial areas and lowdensity residential neighborhoods.
East Palo Alto Municipal Code Chapter 18.36 is the City’s Density Bonus Ordinance.
Consistent with State law (Government Code Section 65915), the Density Bonus Ordinance provides a means for granting density bonuses, incentives, or concessions for the production of housing for very low income, lower income, Moderate-Income Households, or senior households. Currently under R-MD-2 zoning, the Applicant would be allowed to build 12 to 22 units per acre. The Applicant proposes to use the Density Bonus Ordinance to build fourteen units on one lot with three waivers from development standard. The requested waivers are described below. The Density Bonus Ordinance allows a density bonus, concessions, and other regulatory incentives when a developer proposes to provide at least the minimum number of ownership/for-sale housing affordable units to median or moderate-income residents as required by the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (20% for on-site units).
Planning and Housing staff have conducted an initial review to confirm the project could qualify for the Density Bonus Law.
Evaluation of 717 Donohoe Density Bonus Law Compliance
The proposed project is required to meet the development standards under EPAMC 18.10.030 - Development Standards for Residential Zones.
The Applicant is seeking the following three waivers under Density Bonus Law:
8.1 Packet Pg. 109
1. Increase in Floor Area Ratio (“FAR”). EPAMC allows for 65% FAR. The Applicant is seeking an increase to 78.5%.
2. Decrease in private open space. EPAMC requires a minimum of 200 sq ft of private open space. The Applicant is seeking a reduction to 160 sq ft in order to provide uniform units, as required in the IHO.
3. Decrease in front setback. EPAMC requires a front setback of 20 feet. The Applicant is seeking a decrease to one foot.
The above-mentioned requests qualify as “waivers” under the Density Bonus Ordinance.
EPAMC Section 18.38.110 defines a “waiver” as the suspension of requirements upon a finding and determination that doing so is the best interest of the City, based on several conditions, including hardship on the Applicant. Further, state Density Bonus Law mandates that waivers are required when a development standard would preclude the development. The applicant claims the proposed 14-unit development would not be feasible without these three waivers.
Evaluation of the 717 Donohoe Alternative Compliance Option Section 18.37.080 of the East Palo Alto Municipal Code describes that an “Other” Alternative Compliance Option can be approved by the City Council based on findings that the alternative will provide as many or more Inclusionary Units at the same or lower income levels or will otherwise provide greater public benefit than would provision of the Inclusionary Units on-site.
For the purposes of comparison, the market-rate units and Inclusionary Units are shown sideby-side in the chart below.

Code Required Number of Units. The number of Inclusionary Units required for this Project are two on-site Inclusionary Units and an In-Lieu Fee Payment for a fraction of a unit (0.8). The proposed Alternative Compliance Option exceeds that requirement by providing three Inclusionary Units on-site.
Bedroom Count and Size. The Inclusionary Units proposed would be three-bedroom 1,570 sq ft units, comparable to the nine other three-bedroom market rate units.
8.1 Packet Pg. 110
Comparability. The Inclusionary Units would contain identical or comparable exterior and interior finishes and amenities, with equal access to common areas and comparable private open space.
Affordability- AMI. As noted in Tables 2 and 3 above, one Inclusionary Unit would be restricted for sale to households at or below median income, and two Inclusionary Units would be restricted for sale to households at or below moderate income.
Staff evaluated whether the provision of the additional on-site moderate-income Inclusionary Unit is an equal or greater public benefit than a fee payment representing a fraction of a subsidized prototypical unit.
Based on the methodology of the Ownership In-Lieu Fee calculation, the fee payment of $152,000 represents 0.8 times the gap financing for an “average” unit. Providing one additional 3-bedroom Inclusionary Unit that will sell at approximately $1.1 million for ModerateIncome Households, compared to $1.4 million for a market-rate three-bedroom unit, could immediately provide a “subsidy” of approximately $300,000.
Staff finds this Alternative Compliance Option preferable in terms of both subsidy amount and timing, as the additional Inclusionary Unit will become available when construction of the Project is completed, rather than funds accumulating in the Affordable Housing Fund to support affordable units at a later time. In addition, this additional Inclusionary Unit would increase the City’s affordable housing stock of moderate-income units and will help the City advance on its 6th Regional Housing Needs Allocation cycle (“RHNA 6”) requirements, as it will be deed-restricted in perpetuity for Moderate-Income Households. The City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element has identified a strong need to meet moderate-income unit requirements in East Palo Alto. City efforts to build moderate-income units will be key to meet RHNA 6 goals.
Staff Recommendation
Based on the above considerations, staff believes the Applicant's proposal to provide one deed-restricted unit for a Median-Income Household and two for Moderate-Income Households fulfills the requirements of Section 18.37.080 and recommends the City Council approve this Alternative Compliance Option.
Construction of Units in Alternative Compliance Option
If the City Council approves the provision of the Inclusionary Unit as an Alternative Compliance Option for the Project, the standard requirements of the IHO will apply. Prior to the issuance of a Building Permit, the City would execute an Inclusionary Housing Agreement that holds the developer responsible for constructing the Inclusionary Units concurrently with the market-rate units in the project and for selecting a qualified buyer. This Inclusionary Housing Agreement is recorded against the entire Project.
Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy, a deed restriction would be recorded against the Inclusionary Unit to ensure that it remains affordable in perpetuity, in accordance with the requirements of the IHO for ownership units.
The City or its designated entity, such as EPACANDO, would be responsible for ongoing
8.1 Packet Pg. 111
compliance monitoring. As with all units created and income-restricted under the Inclusionary Housing program, these units would remain part of the City’s Below Market-Rate (“BMR”) portfolio.
Next Steps
If the City Council determines that the proposed Alternative Compliance Option is sufficient to fulfill the Project’s inclusionary obligation, City staff will incorporate the Inclusionary Housing Plan into the permit issuance process.
Staff will also prepare the required documents and work with the developer to execute and record an Inclusionary Housing Agreement on the Project. As noted above, the Project, including the Inclusionary Units, will be subject to the planning entitlement process, including the approval of a Design Review and Tentative Map. A Final Map would be required afterwards to complete the subdivision process.
The Inclusionary Housing Agreement will ensure the Project complies with Section 18.37.070 of the EPAMC, which requires concurrent construction and issuance of final inspection or certificates of occupancy for the Inclusionary Units and market-rate units.
In accordance with Chapter 3 of the IHO Guidelines, the Affordable Sales Price will be calculated within 90 days before the date of the first close of escrow for an Inclusionary Unit and the values of the Affordable Sales Price and Fair Market Value, as defined in the IHO, will be updated every 90 days thereafter.
Fiscal Impact
There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this staff report.
As noted previously, if the City Council approves the Alternative Compliance Option, the Applicant would not provide two Inclusionary Units and pay an In-Lieu Fee of $152,000, the equivalent of 0.8 units, but instead would provide one on-site Inclusionary Unit for a MedianIncome Household and two on-site Inclusionary Units for a Moderate-Income Household.
All BMR units are managed by the City’s current BMR Administrator, EPACANDO. Addition of units to the portfolio will not generate additional administrative costs, as these are funded through a combination of Housing TOT (Transient Occupancy Tax, F207) and Housing Successor (F220) funds under the Agreement with EPACANDO, which is effective through May 2023.
Public Notice
The public was provided notice by publishing a notice in the November 4, 2022 Palo Alto Daily News and by posting the agenda and report on the City’s website and at the City Hall located at 2415 University Avenue, East Palo Alto.

Alignment with City Council Strategic Plan
This recommendation is primarily aligned with:
Priority No.2: Enhance Economic Vitality
Priority No 3: Increase Organizational Effectiveness and Efficiency Background
Measure HH
On November 6, 2018, the residents of East Palo Alto voted in favor (79.58%) of enacting a parcel tax, titled Measure HH, on commercial office space of 25,000 square feet or more at the
9.1 Packet Pg. 123
rate of $2.50 per square foot. Measure HH was estimated to raise $1,675,000 annually.
Ordinance No. 417-A (“Ordinance”), which governs the parcel tax, restricts its use to the following purposes:
o Creating and maintaining affordable and supportive housing programs, with an emphasis on creating net new housing;
o Creating and maintaining programs that facilitate access to job opportunities for East Palo Alto residents in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) sectors and building trades, and strengthen the City’s First Source Hiring (FSH) Program; and
o Paying for City staff and overhead costs to administer the ordinance and provide an annual report that complies with the requirements of Government Code section 50075.3.
Revenue generated from HH must be used in the following manner:
o A minimum of 35% of the revenue must be used exclusively for constructing new, affordable housing stock;
o A maximum of 15% of the revenue may be used for City staff and overhead costs to administer the Ordinance and to provide an annual report; and, o Remaining proceeds may be used for any of the other purposes specific in the Ordinance at the discretion of the City Council.
Brightline Defense Study
After Measure HH was passed by voters, City staff started to develop job training programs.
The City sought a consultant experienced in workforce development programs to identify strategies which would maximize the impact of Measure HH funding. On October 6, 2020, the City Council approved a $125,000 agreement with Brightline Defense Project (“Brightline”) to analyze and provide recommendations for implementing a Measure HH Workforce Development Program.
Brightline conducted considerable public outreach and discussions with the community and employers on the appropriate allocation of Measure HH funds to provide “upward mobility” for East Palo Alto residents through access to training for sustainable jobs in reliable employment fields. On July 20, 2021, City Council held a study session to receive a draft report from Brightline on the Measure HH program. The consensus was that efforts to date were appropriately targeted, and additional analysis should continue with an emphasis on preapprenticeship programs in the building trades and pilot programs focused on alternative career paths in the STEM fields.
On November 1, 2021, upon further analysis, the City Council held a subsequent study session to receive the final report from Brightline for the Measure HH Program regarding the most effective and practical job training initiatives for the targeted STEM and building trades fields. Their report is included with the November 1st staff report, with conclusions and recommendations summarized in Attachment C.
Request for Proposals
At the November 1, 2021, study session, the City Council considered staff’s recommendation
9.1 Packet Pg. 124
for structuring and issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Measure HH program, and Councilmembers provided feedback to staff. A subsequent City Council meeting was held on December 21, 2021, where the City Council authorized issuing an RFP to attract qualified organizations to provide Measure HH job training services for East Palo Alto residents. The primary comments received from the City Council and community are listed below (refer to December 21st staff report for a further discussion).
o Require training programs that offer a living wage, as defined by the City. Staff has incorporated living wage requirements into the draft RFP. For the purposes of the City’s first Measure HH RFP, the City established the Living Wage for a single individual with no children in San Mateo County at a minimum of $28 per hour, or $58,240 annually.
o Make STEM focus as broad and deep as possible, beyond engineering and developer positions. Identify positions and salary expectations in all STEM fields.
Consider Life Sciences and Biotech positions.
o Encourage proposals for training programs that emphasize inclusivity and flexibility, e.g., programs designed for working adults transitioning into STEM or building trades.
o Look into CodePath and determine if it (or a similar program) would be a good fit for Measure HH.
o Integrate vocational English language learning programs to provide opportunities for English to Speaker of Other Languages (ESOL) learners to pursue Measure HH-related training opportunities.
o Organizations proposing a Building Trades program have at least 10 years of job training and job placement experience, and organizations proposing a STEM program have at least 5 years of such experience.
On January 7, 2022, staff issued an RFP that incorporated the extensive input from the City Council and community. The deadline for submitting proposals was April 29, 2022 (extended once). Proponents were requested to submit proposals for job training programs focused on one or both categories: 1) STEM: education and training programs to provide career pathways to living-wage jobs in the STEM sectors; and/or 2) Building Trades: pre-apprenticeship programs to provide an entry point to living-wage jobs in the construction sector.
As described in the RFP, qualified organizations were sought that could demonstrate the following strengths and capabilities:
o STEM and Building Trades. Organization has success in implementing regional education and training programs in these job sectors, knowledge of existing employment trends, and offers innovative and ambitious approaches to develop applied skills pathways and increase employment opportunities. o Living Wage. Organization targets training programs that will provide sustainable jobs with a living wage, which is a wage sufficient to cover basic needs (e.g., food, shelter, transportation, childcare, and healthcare. o Leverage Outside Resources. Organization is able to partner with other organizations and leverage outside funding with other training programs. o Strategically Inclusive Programs. Organization includes measures to reduce known barriers to program participation, such as current working hours, childcare, transportation, food, support classes, and delivery of program to nonEnglish speaking residents.
9.1 Packet Pg. 125
During the over 90-day RFP period, staff conducted extensive outreach to experienced regional and local workforce development organizations that provide job training, job placement, and support services in the STEM and Building Trades sectors. Brightline created an outreach list consisting of 248 workforce development organizations and local leaders such as technology and coding workforce development organizations like StreetCode and CodePath, career training providers like JobTrain and NOVA, small businesses training providers like Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center, disability service providers like Ability United and Let Them Hear, economic development organizations like Working Partnerships, and various labor groups. Three pre-bidder conferences were held during the RFP period and staff issued several addendums to clarify program objectives and expectations and to answer questions raised by potential proponents.
Analysis
Proposed Pilot Period
The RFP represents the launch of the Measure HH Pilot Workforce Development Program.
Staff recommends allocating $775,215 in Measure HH funds for an up to 18-month pilot period. This pilot approach will allow the opportunity to evaluate, learn, and refine the program requirements and metrics before awarding future Measure HH funds. It also aligns with the Brightline recommendations which suggest: 1) leveraging the expertise of well-established third-party organizations; 2) engaging in modest ventures at the outset, particularly initiatives and pilot programs aimed at STEM career path; and 3) exercising broad discretion in funding modest programs within the boundaries of Measure HH. Staff believes that exercising flexibility in selecting the programs and defining initial performance expectations during the pilot period offers a deliberative approach for implementing the program. At the conclusion of the pilot period, the City will be in a better position to evaluate the effectiveness of the program and reassess the goals, priorities, deliverables, and performance metrics for the next RFP.
Accountability will be important during the pilot period to achieve the learning objectives. It will be incumbent on organizations receiving Measure HH funds to maintain accurate records of their accomplishments and to monitor and report on the success rate of program enrollees in securing jobs that pay a living wage after completing their training or apprenticeship program.
For these reasons, staff will require quarterly reports on the progress of enrollees and a final performance report and evaluation at the end of the agreement period. Agreements will also require organizations to maintain contact with program enrollees for 36 months after completing their training course to follow their progress. Table A lists the recommended agreement terms, including reporting requirements and performance goals and metrics. The quarterly reports will be used as a tool for monitoring the progress of participants and evaluating the success of the programs.
9.1 Packet Pg. 126
Table A
Proposed Agreement Terms
Respondents to RFP
The City received four proposals in response to the RFP: two proposals in the STEM category and two proposals in the Building Trades category. The proposals address different career paths and, collectively, offer multiple training options for at least 80 East Palo Alto residents.
JobTrain submitted two proposals: a STEM training program for foundational and advance IT career development and Building Trades programs for training and pre-apprenticeships in building maintenance or carpentry. StreetCode Academy submitted STEM training programs for two coding course that will lead to 12-to 18-month apprenticeships. Live In Peace is offering several Building Trades programs that provide training and job placement to gain electrical and mechanical skills. In all cases, the programs are already established; the Measure HH funds would allow the organizations to expand their existing programs and accommodate more East Palo Alto residents.
While the number of proposals received were limited, the ones received were submitted by experienced community-based non-profit organizations. All three respondents have deep roots and a strong commitment to East Palo Alto and have demonstrated much success and
9.1 Packet Pg. 127
community acceptance of their current programs. They are enthusiastic to partner with the City to launch the Pilot Measure HH Workforce Development Program.
After submittal of their initial proposals, staff engaged with the respondents in the following months to clarify aspects of their proposed programs and/or to modify their proposal to better align their programs with: 1) the recommendations in the Brightline report; 2) the Council’s direction provided at prior meetings; and 3) the desired qualifications outlined in the RFP. The three organizations were receptive to comments and suggestions. They worked with staff to amend their proposals to strengthen and ensure conformance with the program objectives and criteria for the use of Measure HH funds. They have also accepted the agreement terms in Table A, including monitoring program participants for 36 months after completion of training.
The four proposals meet a primary Measure HH goal to create and maintain programs that facilitate access to job opportunities for East Palo Alto residents in the STEM or Building Trades fields. Additionally, the organizations demonstrated their ability to satisfy two key objectives in the RFP: 1) leveraging outside resources with established partnerships and networks with other organizations and/or leveraging outside funding with other training programs; and 2) incorporating inclusive measures to reduce barriers to program participation, such as current working hours, childcare, transportation, food, support classes, and delivery of program to non-English speaking residents.
An item of discussion with the organizations pertained to the living wage. While all proposals are focusing on training or apprenticeship programs for jobs that can attain a living wage, the organizations have indicated that achieving a living wage at the start of employment will be challenging. However, they will strive to have program enrollees reach or exceed the living wage within 36 months of completing their training course.
Another item of discussion was the goal for an 85% course completion rate. While this performance metric would be uniformly applied to all programs, participant cohorts differ among programs. Some programs will have a greater challenge to reach this goal based on past results. Staff views this goal as aspirational, but it would affect payments since disbursement of funds would be linked to each participant enrolling in and completing a training course. Any unexpended funds, however, can be used for another enrollee; therefore, access to the total approved Measure HH allocation would still be available. The additional goal to have 75% of enrollees placed in a job within three months of completing their training program is acceptable to the organizations.
Table B summarizes the key elements of the four Measure HH proposals. A description follows for each proposal. Additionally, refer to Attachments D, E, F, and G for the RFP submittals (amended November 2022).

Measure HH Proposals
JobTrain
JobTrain is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and approved by the Bureau of Private Post-Secondary Education. They “create opportunities for low-income youths and adults in East Palo Alto and throughout Silicon Valley to develop personal and career goals, and to achieve their aspirations by acquiring relevant skills and positive attitudes about themselves and their unique human potential.” JobTrain has been embedded in the East Palo Alto community for over 57 years. They have served nearly 200,000 low-income individuals throughout San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties. They offer seven full-time accredited career training programs, which prepare students for careers in high-demand industries including the Building Trades, Healthcare, Culinary Arts, and Technology Fields.
JobTrain submitted proposals for both the STEM and Building Trades categories that totals $238,485 in Measure HH funds:
9.1 Packet Pg. 129
STEM Programs (20 East Palo Alto residents):
o IT Service & Support Career Training Program: Foundational accredited course for careers in the technology field prepares graduates for entry level desktop support, help desk, and technical customer service roles. This certificate program introduces students to troubleshooting and customer service, networking, operating systems, system administration, automation, and security - all the fundamentals of IT support. (11-week course)
o Advanced IT Network Plus Career Training Program: Advanced IT Class course that prepares students for the industry recognized CompTIA Network Plus Certification Examination. (6-week course)
Building Trades Programs (20 East Palo Alto residents):
o Building Maintenance Program: Overview of basic skills for maintaining and managing the interior/exterior of housing communities in a first-rate condition.
Students are shown how to perform repairs and upgrades on painting, drywall installation, plumbing, electrical and finished work. (12-week course) o Project Build: Carpentry Pre-Apprenticeship Program: Introduction to construction and environmental training. Students are trained in basic general construction skills and gain a strong foundation in construction, green building, and forklift instruction. (11-week course)
While it varies by program, participants are generally required to have basic math and English skills and, for the STEM program, a high school diploma and basic computer literacy.
Participants will work with a Career Development Specialist and/or an IT Alumni Career Coach to create a job search and employment strategy and will benefit from the partnerships and connections that JobTrain has developed with multiple Bay Area employers. Support resources include access to a Skills Upgrade and Intensive Support Services Office and a Child Development Center. In addition to JobTrain’s own programs, participants will be able to benefit from the considerable leverage JobTrain has developed with outside resources.
English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes are also available to participants if needed.
Outreach to East Palo Alto residents will be coordinated by JobTrain’s Outreach & Recruitment Manager. This outreach will include the active involvement of a Community Task Force and the East Palo Alto Street Outreach Team. All outreach material will be available in at least English and Spanish.
StreetCode Academy
StreetCode Academy (SCA) has offered free STEM classes to East Palo Alto residents since 2016. To date, they have enrolled 9,000 students in classes, and have successfully placed students in paid internships or apprenticeships. Through their partnerships with employers, they have continued to place students onto career-track positions. One-on-one mentors are provided to offer personal support to ensure that students are moving forward on their career plan.
9.1 Packet Pg. 130
SCA is requesting $236,700 in Measure HH funds to offer two training/apprenticeship programs for at least 20 East Palo Alto students:
o Creating Coding Careers leads candidates through a three-month preapprenticeship learning phase. Candidates then embark on a 12-month apprenticeship program working remotely for a premier software company. SCA will mentor and assist students to search for a permanent job. o Cañada College offers a Unity Developer Program that requires students to take a free (virtual) pre-apprenticeship summer course to qualify for their new 18-monthlong apprenticeship program in Unity Video Game Programming. SCA will mentor and assist students to search for a permanent job.
Basic requirement for enrollment in either program is a high school diploma. The two courses are free or a nominal cost for SCA. The Measure HH funds are proposed to cover 50% of the total program cost for each enrollee. Funds would primarily be used for support resources during an approximately two-year program period when enrollees are engaged in job training, apprenticeships, and job placement. Funds would cover the enrollee’s mentor, attendance at SCA life skills classes and workshops, and resources for childcare, food, transportation, technology devices, and internet access.
Outreach to East Palo Alto residents will include information mailers, social media, quarterly events, and posted signage. Limited English-speaking participants will be referred to language skills courses and tools.
Live In Peace
Live In Peace is a non-profit organization located in East Palo Alto. They offer multiple programs that provide young adults with academic skills, personal and professional development, artistic and cultural education, and access to a range of resources to help them overcome obstacles and achieve their life visions. Live In Peace’s programs target high school students or recent graduates. They are requesting Measure HH funds to expand their GAP Trades Program to serve East Palo Alto students. This program allows young adults to access and fill the ever-changing need for skilled trade workers. The objective is to create entryways, education, and apprenticeships in the fields of mechanical and electrical construction through partnerships with the broader community. They have partnered with several companies to operate their programs.
Measure HH funding for $300,030 would allow at least 20 high school students in East Palo Alto to enroll in one of the following GAP Trades Program training courses:
o Western Allied Mechanical is a 6-week program that introduces students to union job opportunities in mechanical construction (HVAV and plumbing). Led by construction professionals, students learn the basics of sheet metal, piping, and plumbing construction.
o Eden Area Regional Occupation Program (ROP) provides hands-on, industry specific skills that prepare students to enter the electrical field. Upon completion of the program, they attain their supervised hours to become a licensed electrician and have been able to obtain paid apprenticeships to accrue their hours. o Year Up provides students seeking a less traditional college/career path with an 11- month training and development program. The program leads to full-time job
9.1 Packet Pg. 131
opportunities in IT support, computer network support, and data analytics. o Junior College Tracks is a 2 to 5-year program (depending on field) that steers students to trade unions while allowing them to complete an AA degree in their respective fields. A variety of support is provided to ensure that students are successful in their chosen trade.
Participation in the programs generally only require a high school diploma. In addition to covering the cost of the above programs, Live In Peace provides customized support services to meet the living needs of participants, including mentoring, skills training, computer equipment, transportation, and childcare. The level of assistance will vary based on the assessment of each student’s circumstances and typically extends well beyond the training program. For their proposal, they have defined three barrier levels for assistance: Level 1 - minimal (tutors, supplies), Level 2 - average/medium (Level 1 plus scholarships, stipends), and Level 3 - maximum (Levels 1 & 2 plus childcare, transportation).
Participants enter the program through referrals from partner organizations, through their High School SWAG Program, and through a proactive application intake/interview process.
Recommendation
Staff recommends appropriating up to $775,215 from the Measure HH Fund to fund a Measure HH Pilot Workforce Development Program and authorizing the City Manager to execute agreements with JobTrain, StreetCode Academy, and Live In Peace to provide job training, job placement services, and support resources for STEM and Building Trades workforce development for at least 80 East Palo Alto residents. The up to 18-month pilot period will allow for an evaluation of the program before allocating future funds for workforce development.
Environmental
The action being considered does not constitute a “Project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378 (b)(3), and (b)(4).
Fiscal Impact
The current balance in the Measure HH Fund is approximately $4.7 million. Sufficient funds are available to fund the Pilot Workforce Development Program. It should be noted, however, that the fund is not intended to be used exclusively for creating job opportunities. A minimum of 35% of the fund must be reserved to support the production of affordable housing which would benefit from a build-up of the fund balance. Additionally, fluctuating financial and market conditions and will also affect the annual revenue generated. From an optimistic perspective, the fund has the potential of grow when future office development is constructed in the Ravenswood Business District.
Public Notice
The public was provided notice of this agenda item by posting the City Council agenda on the City’s official bulletin board outside City Hall and making the agenda and report available at the City’s website and at the San Mateo County Library located at 2415 University Avenue, East Palo Alto.
9.1 Packet Pg. 132
Next Steps
If the Council authorizes the approval of the agreements and the appropriation of funds for the Measure HH Pilot Workforce Development Program, staff will work with the three organizations and the City Attorney’s Office to prepare and execute the agreements by January 2023. Funds would be distributed on a quarterly basis upon submittal of invoices with performance reports.
Disbursement of funds would be by participant: 50 percent when a participant enrolls in a training course, and the remaining 50 percent at completion of the course. It is expected that the first Measure HH payments could occur within three months of executing an agreement.

Summary of Brightline Defense Conclusions and Recommendations (from November 1, 2021 Report)
1. “Upward mobility” refers to economic advancement, with an individual or family’s improved social status chiefly reflected in an increase in income and wealth. The Measure HH Program should ensure that residents are equipped to follow career paths necessary to keep up with the Bay Area’s high cost of living.
2. Measure HH revenue, while significant, is not sufficient to mimic other Bay Area workforce development programs. Instead, take a more distributed approach to funding. Select small initiatives to support which: a) have a clear path to placing local residents in sustainable career pathways; and b) are scalable to produce more job training and placement results for the community.
3. The City’s Measure HH investments should target assisting specific individuals in achieving higher wage jobs. Compensation should be based on the number of East Palo Alto residents that an organization supports through commitment to and completion of a specific workforce training program.
4. The City should consider funding related activities to eliminate barriers to participating in a job training program, such as childcare, transportation, or wages. Require that proposers incorporate barrier reducing services in their calculation of per participant cost: childcare, transportation, hourly stipend, etc.
5. Leverage the expertise of well-established third-party organizations, such as community-based organizations (CBOs), training programs, non-profits, or forprofit companies. CBOs that are not based in East Palo Alto may consider partnering with organizations that are located in and serve the community.
6. Pre-apprenticeship programs for building trades are the best first initiative.
Several partner programs with long-standing infrastructure already exist with a history of success. Early conversations with them have suggested paths for establishing an East Palo Alto employment pool that can enter existing programs.
7. STEM jobs are highly sought after, competitive, and present multiple barriers to entry. Educational requirements remain the toughest barrier to entry, and even when hired, minority employees face retention rates much lower than the industry average. Tactical investments with Measure HH can help guide skilled residents to this sector.
8. Measure HH-funded initiatives aimed at STEM career paths should be modest ventures at the outset. Because tech companies are reticent to look at alternative candidates, successful case studies should be presented to these companies
9.1.c
Packet Pg. 138 Attachment: Brightline Summary (November 21, 2021) (2477 : Measure HH Pilot Workforce Development Program Approval of Agreements) that they can believe and invest in. Be deliberate and patient and allow these programs to take root and grow over time.
9. The Bay Area has a large number of middle-income jobs in the life sciences industry, such as lab technician positions at anchor institutions like Stanford University. Coupled with the potential new R&D/lab jobs in the Ravenswood Business District, there is an opportunity to train residents to fill both existing and future positions.
10.In line with Measure HH, exercise broad discretion in funding potential programs to serve a wide variety of options. While there are specific higher priority initiatives that offer the most logical path to jobs with a middle-income or higher, be open to other options which may provide equally valuable job opportunities.
11.The Measure HH programs and the First Source Hiring policy will be best served by being connected in some way. This may include job set asides for graduates of HH programs and priority recruitment.
