City of El Cerrito Transportation Impact Fee Annual Report FY 2023-2024 1 A. INTRODUCTION

The TIF was established under authority granted by the Mitigation Fee Act, AB 1600, contained in Sections 66000 to 66025 of the California Government Code.

C. TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEE DESCRIPTION
To implement the goals and objectives of the City of El Cerrito’s General Plan and related expert and specific plans, and to mitigate the impacts caused by future development in the City, certain transportation improvements must be constructed.

The City Council has determined that a Transportation Impact Fee is needed to finance these transportation improvements and to pay for each development’s fair share of the construction and acquisition costs of the necessary transportation improvements.

The City Council adopted Council Resolution 2018-70 setting the amount of the fee, describing the need for the fee, listing the types of transportation improvements to be financed, describing the estimated cost of these improvements, describing the reasonable relationship between the fee and the several types of future development, and setting time for payment of the fee.

The transportation improvements eligible for funding with the TIF are based on prior planning studies completed to support the City’s growth and the impact of that growth on the transportation system. The focus of these improvements is to connect El Cerrito residents to employment and activity centers and major transit facilities within the City and in neighboring jurisdictions. These improvements are located and connect to San Pablo Avenue, the City’s primary transportation corridor serving all modes. The TIF project list is a selection of projects from the following: San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan (SPASP), Active Transportation Plan (ATP) and Ohlone Greenway Master Plan, which were previously adopted by the City Council.

The City applies the TIF to building permits associated with New Construction and Intensification of Use as described in the TIF Administrative Guidelines approved by the City Manager in April 2019 and updated in June 2020. City staff, as part of their typical process of reviewing a proposed Development Project, determine the land use categories that are applicable and calculate the TIF based on the TIF Administrative Guidelines. This applies to both private and public Development Projects. The TIF payment is due at the time of building permit issuance.

The Capital Improvement Fund, Non-Departmental Capital Outlay, Transportation Impact Fees Account (301-90-50 48610) receives all Transportation Impact Fees collected and all interest generated, and is used to pay for design, engineering, environmental review, permits, right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation, project management and construction of the transportation improvements as designated in Council Resolution 2018-70.

The amount of the TIF was originally established by City Council Resolution No. 2018-70 on December 18, 2018. Beginning July 1, 2019 and each July 1 thereafter, the TIF is to be adjusted as described in the TIF Administrative Guidelines. The annual fee adjustment is based on the annual percentage change in the Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index for the San Francisco Bay Area for the prior 12-month period, from February of the prior year to February of the current year. The adjustment is then to be adopted by the City Council along with the City’s Master Fee Schedule on an annual basis and implemented by July

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 6.E.

Date: December 17, 2024
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Alexandra Orologas, Assistant City Manager, City Management Subject: Designating Primary and Alternate Board Members to the Municipal Pooling Authority of Northern California (MPA)

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution designating the Assistant City Manager as Primary Board Member and the Human Resources Manager as Alternate Board Member to the Municipal Pooling Authority of Northern California (MPA).

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The City of El Cerrito is a member of the Municipal Pooling Authority of Northern California. The Municipal Pooling Authority (MPA) is a Joint Powers Authority established in 1978 for the purpose of providing liability insurance to municipal agencies in Contra Costa County. The governing documents of the MPA require that the City Council of each member city appoint one Board Member and one Alternate Board Member to the Board of Directors of the Authority. MPA governing documents also require the City to appoint its City Manager or the department head or staff person responsible for the City’s risk management function as the Primary Board Member, and that the alternate Board member have the same qualifications as the Primary Board Member.

It is the responsibility of the Human Resources Division to perform the risk management functions for the City. In February 2021, the Assistant City Manager was designated as the Primary Board Member to the MPA in her role as Interim Human Resources Manager, and the City Manager as the alternate. In December 2024, the Senior Human Resources Analyst was reclassified to Human Resources Manager in recognition of current responsibilities (Resolution 2024- 85). This position formally serves as the City's Risk Manager. This resolution will allow the Assistant City Manager to continue serving as the Primary Board Member going forward, and further designates the Human Resources Manager as the Alternate Board Member.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• High Performing Organization

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 6.F.

Date: December 17, 2024
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Eric Saylors, Fire Chief, Fire Department
Subject: Agreement with the City of Berkeley for Year-round Automatic Aid

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the revised Memorandum of Understanding for mutual aid between the City of Berkeley and the City of El Cerrito.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Fire Chiefs of the cities of Berkeley and El Cerrito desire to update a 1997 Memorandum of Understanding to provide automatic aid for fire and other emergency call responses and station coverage during greater alarm fires.

This updated agreement will provide a year-round response and improve response times to emergencies in the cities of Berkeley and El Cerrito. It will also provide automatic coverage of fire stations during greater emergencies.

The Berkeley Fire Department may respond with two engines, a truck, and a chief officer to structure fires and three engines and a chief officer to vegetation fires. In addition, the Berkeley Fire Department may provide ambulance service to El Cerrito/Kensington during critical incidents. Conversely, the El Cerrito Fire Department may respond to Berkeley with up to two units (engines or truck) and a chief officer to structure fires. In addition, the El Cerrito fire department may respond to Berkeley with one unit (type 1 or type 3) and a Chief officer for wildland fires.

The El Cerrito and Berkeley Fire Departments are the East Bay Regional Emergency Communications System Authority (EBRCSA) members. They can communicate on each agency’s dispatch, command, or tactical radio channels. The ability to communicate on each agency’s radio channels improves the coordination and response efforts on emergency calls. This agreement supports annual joint training exercises to ensure safe operations for both agencies.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• High Performing Organization; and
• Community Safety.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 6.G.

Date: December 17, 2024
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Aissia Ashoori, Housing-Economic Development Manager; Melanie Mintz, Community Development Director, Community Development Department
Subject: Adopt a resolution authorizing staff to apply for the Prohousing Incentive Program

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution authorizing staff to apply for the Prohousing Incentive Program.

BACKGROUND
The Prohousing Designation Program was established in the 2019-20 State Budget Act to acknowledge the policies of local governments that promote housing development. The City of El Cerrito was designated as the 9th Prohousing jurisdiction under the Prohousing Designation Program on January 23, 2023. Currently, 50 jurisdictions in the State have earned this designation.

The Prohousing Incentive Program (PIP) is administered and implemented by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). PIP was established in 2022 as a newly created funding source provided by Chapter 364, Statutes of 2017 (SB 2, Atkins), which established the Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund. The purpose of the PIP Program is to encourage jurisdictions to pass and implement policies that accelerate housing production, promote favorable zoning and land use, reduce construction and development costs, and provide financial subsidies.

In December 2022, the Prohousing Inventive Pilot Program was launched by HCD through a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), Round 1, for $25,705,545. A total of 18 jurisdictions were awarded (including El Cerrito), totaling $33,199,891.On January 23, 2024, HCD issued its Round 2 Notice of Funding Availability for $9,483,402. There were 19 jurisdictions awarded $15,264,253. El Cerrito was not awarded funding in this round due to insufficient funding and a priority given to newly designated cities. The PIP, Round 3, NOFA was issued on August 15, 2024 with an estimated $8,000,000 in funding available. HCD's goal is to release its annual PIP NOFA, typically in the Summer. HCD requires that the City Council authorize submittal of an application.

The PIP funding determination is based on a combination of the base award plus the bonus award calculations. The base award is set according to population - El Cerrito falls between 20-49,999 residents – and is eligible for $250,000. The bonus award is calculated using the City’s Prohousing Designation score of 37 multiplied by 10,000 = $370,000 (capped at $500,000).

Agenda Packet Page 54 of 134
Agenda Item No. 6.G.

The maximum PIP award cannot exceed $2 million per jurisdiction. Based on staff estimates, the City is eligible for $620,000.

Ranked applications and funding set asides are designated by geographical categories based on 2030 population, as detailed in Table 1. Staff would like to highlight that geographical categories receive 75% of the total NOFA funding. The remaining 25% is designated as a residual set-aside.

Table 1

ANALYSIS
Leveraging affordable housing funds will provide the City with additional resources to support the goals and policies contained in our Affordable Housing Strategy. Added funding will also support our 2023-2031 Regional Housing Needs Assignment goal of creating 1,391 new housing units, including 334 very low-income, 192 low-income, and 241 moderate-income units. Currently, the City’s limited local funding sources are generated through the Inclusionary Housing Program and previously, included funds remaining in the Low-Moderate Income Housing Fund (from the former redevelopment agency). Contra Costa County also supports funding in El Cerrito for affordable housing. In addition, the City partners with developers to apply for various competitive funding programs through State and Federal sources.

On May 9, 2023, the City received an award of $620,000 under PIP, Round 1. El Cerrito did not receive an award for PIP, Round 2. PIP Program Guidelines provide:
“Priority will be given to Eligible Applicants that have not received PIP funds in prior funding rounds. Eligible Applicants awarded in prior funding rounds will only be eligible to receive an award once all previously unfunded Eligible Applicants receive an award." Since there are a total of 50 PIP jurisdictions of which 36 have received PIP awards, there is a possibility that 14 jurisdictions have priority over El Cerrito. However, there are funds available through PIP’s 25% residual set-aside that may be made available to jurisdictions.

Agenda Packet Page 55 of 134
Agenda Item No. 6.G.

PIP applications are due December 31, 2024, and awards are slated to be announced in April 2025. If awarded, the City must expend all funds by June 30, 2026. The NOFA allows the City to undertake the activities listed below as it relates to housing and community development uses, including planning/implementation.

Eligible uses pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 50470(b)(2)(D):

1. The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of multifamily, residential live-work, rental housing that is affordable to extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate-income households, including necessary operating subsidies;

2. Affordable rental and ownership housing that meets the needs of a growing workforce earning up to 120 percent of area median income, or 150 percent of area median income in high-cost areas;

3. Matching portions of funds placed into local or regional housing trust funds;

4. Matching portions of funds available through the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 34176 of the Health and Safety Code;

5. Capitalized reserves for services connected to the creation of new permanent supportive housing, including, but not limited to, developments funded through the Veterans Housing and Homelessness Prevention Bond Act of 2014;

6. Assisting persons who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including providing rapid rehousing, rental assistance, navigation centers, emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing;

7. Accessibility modifications;

8. Efforts to acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed or vacant homes;

9. Homeownership opportunities, including, but not limited to, down payment assistance; and

10. Fiscal incentives or matching funds to local agencies that approve new housing for extremely low, very low, low-, and moderate-income households.

The above eligible activities are very much aligned with the City’s housing policies and plans. If our PIP application is successful, it will increase the City’s affordable housing funding availability while providing much needed resources to the El Cerrito community.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• Livability and Belonging; and
• Infrastructure and Amenities; and
• Environmental Sustainability.

Agenda Packet Page 56 of 134
Agenda Item No. 6.G.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Authorization of the filing of the application is not a project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Any projects funded by the grant will be evaluated under CEQA, as applicable.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
There is not a local match required as part of the grant application. The City is required to track, report uses and expenditures annually to HCD. Funds must be expended no later than June 30, 2026. The time of City employees spent administering PIP is not eligible for funding.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed all legal considerations.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 6.I.

Date: December 17, 2024
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Crystal Reams, Finance Director/City Treasurer, Finance Subject: REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY SUCCESSOR AGENCY ITEM: Approve Draft Annual Recognized Obligations Payment Schedule 25-26 (July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026)

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a Successor Agency resolution reviewing and authorizing submittal of the draft Recognized Obligations Payment Schedule 25-26.

BACKGROUND
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules
ABx1 26 (Dissolution Act) dissolved the El Cerrito Redevelopment Agency (RDA) and established the El Cerrito Redevelopment Successor Agency (Successor Agency) on February 1, 2012. Under the Dissolution Act, the portion of property tax revenues collected in the City of El Cerrito Redevelopment Project Area (Project Area) that was considered Tax Increment prior to the RDA’s dissolution are called Redevelopment Property Tax and are deposited by the County Auditor-Controller (Auditor-Controller) into the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF). The Auditor-Controller distributes the funds in the RPTTF with the following priority:

1. Auditor-Controller’s administrative costs

2. Pass-through payments to the taxing entities affected by the Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area, calculated the same as prior to RDA dissolution

3. Distribution to the Successor Agency to retire the former RDA’s obligations

4. Repayment of loans from the Housing Fund (starting in FY 2014-15)

5. Distribution of residual funds to taxing entities
Beginning with the 2016-17 ROPS period, the Successor Agency must review and authorize submittal of a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for each fiscal year. Each ROPS must then be approved by the Oversight Board to the Successor Agency (Oversight Board) and the California Department of Finance (DOF) before the Auditor-Controller disburses funding for payments on the approved ROPS.

The attached schedule is the draft ROPS 25-26 covering payments due during the period of July 2025 to June 2026. The Countywide Oversight Board has asked the Successor Agency to submit the materials for ROPS 25-26 to the County by January 11, 2025, and is scheduled to consider ROPS 25-26 for approval at its upcoming meeting on January 27, 2025. The approved ROPS 25-26 must then be submitted to the DOF no later than February 1, 2025. After submittal, the DOF then has until April 15, 2025 to review the ROPS and approve or disapprove of any items. The Successor Agenda Packet Page 92 of 134
Agenda Item No. 6.I.

Agency can request additional review by the DOF and an opportunity to meet and confer on disputed items, and must make that request within five business days of receiving a DOF determination. The DOF is required to notify the Successor Agency and Auditor-Controller of its final determination of the approved payments at least 15 days prior to the first distribution date of RPTTF for the ROPS, which is June 1, 2025.

RPTTF will continue to be distributed twice annually, on June 1st and January 2nd of each year.

The annual ROPS can be amended once per year as long as the amendment is received by the DOF before October 1st of the applicable fiscal year.

ANALYSIS
The proposed ROPS 25-26 is Exhibit A to the attached Successor Agency resolution, authorizing its submittal. It includes: 1) a summary of the funding request, 2) an itemized listing of obligations (“ROPS Detail”), and 3) a report of cash balances. Obligations with remaining outstanding balances are included on ROPS 25-26, as follows:
• Tax Allocation Bond Debt Service: Debt service payment for this fiscal year is due as part of ROPS 25-26 in the amount of $1,061,397.
• Union Bank Administrative Fee ($5,000): This fee is to cover the fiscal agent service fees charged by Union Bank for the trust administration of the 2016 Series A and B Bonds.
• FY 2025-26 Administrative Allowance ($125,000): One half of the Successor Agency’s administrative allowance is included for the first six-month period on the ROPS.

The total amount of RPTTF funding required for ROPS 25-26 is estimated to be $1,191,397.

The payment for the first six months of the year is the final payment owed by the City for the Successor Agency and there is no expected additional payment in the second half of FY 2025-26. Staff are working on the process of dissolving the Successor Agency upon the conclusion of these payments.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
The amended ROPS supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal of:
• High Performing Organization.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
This section is not applicable to this agenda item.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
It is estimated that the total amount of RPTTF funding required for ROPS 25-26 is $1,191,397. In order to repay the obligations of the Successor Agency, the ROPS must Agenda Packet Page 93 of 134
Agenda Item No. 6.I.
be approved and submitted to the DOF. These expenses were included in the FY 2025- 26 budget that will be formally adopted by Council in the spring of 2025.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
All actions being requested are consistent with the Dissolution Act, as amended and have been reviewed by the Agency attorney.

Selection of City Council Officers
Adopted December 1, 2020 Resolution No. 2020-59
At the first regular City Council Meeting in December of each year or when appropriate, the City Council shall select from among its members a Mayor and a Mayor Pro Tempore (Mayor Pro Tem) to serve for the following year in accordance with the following process:

A newly elected Councilmember, who is not an incumbent, will serve a minimum of one year on the City Council before qualifying to serve as Mayor.

Mayor Pro Tem will replace the outgoing Mayor.

Mayor Pro Tem will be the Councilmember who has received the highest number of votes, compared to the other Councilmembers elected at the same time. Preference will be given to those who have not yet served as Mayor. This process continues until all Councilmembers elected in the same year have served as mayor.

An appointed Councilmember shall join the rotation only after first being elected.

Newly elected and re-elected Councilmembers are added onto the existing order of rotation in the order of the number of votes received, from the highest number of votes to the lowest.

A Councilmember may decline to serve as Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem. This will drop the Councilmember back one position in the rotation.

This format will be followed unless altered by a majority vote of the City Council. The City Council has the ultimate discretion to elect or not elect any Councilmember for any office.

The new Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem shall take office upon a majority vote of the Council. The term of office for the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem shall be for one calendar year or until the next rotation occurs.

At any time during the term of office for a Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem, an agenda item may be requested by vote of a majority of the City Council to consider removal of a Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem from their appointed role. Subsequently, the formal action of removing a member from their appointed role shall require the vote of a super majority. In the case of removal, the City Council shall select a new member to complete the remaining term of office in place of the removed member.

Hi Holly,
I'd like to make a general public comment on behalf of the ECRA Walk & Roll organization for the meeting tomorrow. We'd like it to be distributed to the council members and we welcome a response from staff. Comment is as follows. Thank you!
_____________________________________________________________ Dear El Cerrito City Council,
We are grateful that the city is taking steps to improve Richmond Street for safer cycling and walking. In keeping with the goals of El Cerrito's 2016 Active Transportation Plan and Complete Streets Policy, 2024 Climate Action Plan, and 2024 Local Road Safety Plan, we call for several critical safety improvements to the proposed design for the Richmond Street Complete Streets Improvement Project that would provide safe streets for users of all ages and abilities:

1. Protected bicycle infrastructure. Richmond Street's 6,000+ daily vehicles require protected bike lanes under the safety standards of the National Association of City Transportation Officials. Even streets with half this traffic volume call for buffered or protected lanes. The current design, with an unprotected bike lane directly adjacent to traffic, falls short of these safety requirements. The above conceptual design achieves this while maintaining the proposed allocation of space for cars. The design shows the bike lane passing through the intersection bulb out; it would naturally have to ramp up to sidewalk level to avoid being a tripping hazard for those walking across it.

2. Extend protected bike lanes south of Moeser Lane. Protected bicycle facilities should be extended at least one block south of Moeser Lane to Waldo Avenue, rather than ending at Moeser Lane. This modification addresses the fact that Moeser Lane remains a high-stress area without imminent plans for safety Agenda Packet Page 110 of 134
improvements. By extending at least one block farther south, cyclists will be able to make use of Waldo Avenue, which has significantly lower traffic volumes, for eastwest movement — including students on their way to Korematsu middle school — and connections to the Ohlone Greenway. We also recommend a 4-way stop at Waldo Avenue and Richmond St.

3. Improve bike infrastructure at signalized intersection at Moeser Lane. Install infrastructure to get cyclists safely through the busy signalized intersection at Moeser Lane in all four directions, including bicycle-specific stop lights timed to give cyclists (and pedestrians) a head start, beg buttons or sensors at the curb accessible to bicyclists in bike lane, turn boxes, green paint, no right-turn on red signage, and pedestrian refuges in the crosswalks across Moeser.

These changes are supported by:

The clear majority of residents who have consistently supported dedicated space for cyclists of all ages and abilities in numerous plans and community surveys.

Current Complete Streets and bicycle safety best practices as outlined by NACTO.

The undersigned individuals and organizations.

Additionally, we recommend enhancing safety further by:

Painting the dedicated bicycle facilities green to clearly mark it as cycling infrastructure.

Elevating the bicycle facilities above street level to provide further separation.

Installing bollards or similar barriers where physical protection is not provided by parked cars.

Ensuring that buttons for flashing-signal beacons are accessible to cyclists from the bike lane or sensor-activated.

Limiting infrastructure on Richmond Street south of Moeser Lane that could preclude the future installation of additional segments of protected bike lanes.

These modifications would create a safer, more connected bicycle network that better serves our community's goals for sustainable transportation and climate action.

Sincerely,
Organizations

Hello Mayor and members of the City Council,
I'm a El Cerrito resident who lives on Richmond Street, I have major concerns about the Richmond Street Complete Streets Project, in particular it will be removing a majority of on street parking for bike lane infrastructure. I understand that El Cerrito has plans where community input was accepted for the encouragement of bike lanes on this segment some time ago and this project doesn't have to go back to the City Council. But community input can be a small group with a big voice that moves policy at City Hall.

The stronger voices for this project should be the direct residents that will be impacted in the project area.

It's important to hear from the residents and to fully understand the direction.

I very much think the CCTA funding is important to spend but it does not have to be on bike lanes. The safety and improvement elements outweigh this, and most of these special bike groups do not live on Richmond Street. A good example of safety is to solve with this CCTA funding how residents of Richmond can safely back out of their driveways, pedestrians safely cross the street, or provide more lighting. 70% of Richmond Street residents do not agree with removing parking, this will be negatively impactful to our street, please consider other safety measures besides bike lanes, thanks Lizeht Agenda Packet Page 113 of 134

Regarding the plan to add bicycle lanes to Richmond st.

The parking study was done before approximately 700 units of housing will be built on the plaza parking lots. Almost no parking will be provided for those units, so any residences that have cars will be parking on residential streets. All BART patrons who drive to the station will also be parking on streets instead of in a parking lot. The planned new library will have no parking and will increase demand for spaces.

Will the parking study be adjusted to account for this huge increase in parking demand around the station? Why add bike lanes to a street parallel to and adjacent to the Ohlone Greenway Bike path? Will the consultant hired to develop the paid parking plan for city streets around the Plaza Station take these items into account? Pearson Miller

Dear Councilmembers,
I am writing to communicate my support for the Richmond Street Complete Streets Improvement Project. This includes my support for the proposed measures to improve bicycle and pedestrian
safety and connections to El Cerrito destinations even at the expense of the removal of some parking on Richmond street.

I live on the 1500 block of Richmond between Gladys and Potereo. The high level of traffic, lack of dedicated bicycle lanes and the absence of traffic calming measures has provided for unsafe conditions, especially for pedestrians and bicyclists. Further, I encourage updating the project to include a restriction on right turn on red lights at the corner of Poetero and Richmond (at the minimum during rush hours). As pedestrians, my children and I have been almost hit by cars utilizing the right turn on red option numerous times over the past 11 years. Also, the ever increasing level of traffic on Richmond makes it very difficult to exit from my driveway when cars are utilizing the right turn on red option.

Thank you for your time dedicated to this item. Please feel free to reach out for additional discussion if necessary.

Thank you,

Hi there, my name is Shobit and I am a long-time El Cerrito resident.

I just wanted to communicate what a boon that the Richmond Street Complete Streets Improvement Project will be for the community. The proposed bikeway network will make streets safer for people not in cars or trucks through a multitude of ways. The area of the street intended for cars will be narrower, so cars will drive slower. Another safe alternative to travel other than driving would now be available, in theory decreasing the number of cars on the road.

In some areas, parking spots even block pedestrians from being seen by oncoming traffic. One such intersection at Richmond St. and Portola Drive always has a parked car on the southeast part of the intersection, making it hard to be seen by incoming traffic if you are crossing from the east end to the west. I've found myself having to poke my head out from in front of parked cars on that end to peek for traffic, especially now with the advent of electric vehicles, which make much less noise.

Please commit to making our streets safer, and reducing unnecessary traffic accidents, injuries, and deaths! I am counting on you!

I'm a resident living on Richmond Street. I see the activity on the street for hours every day.

I strongly OPPOSE the creation of a bike lane on Richmond Street.

I see LITTLE BIKE ACTIVITY on the street except a modest increase on some weekend mornings.

The EXISTING BIKE PATH is very CLOSE BY and some cyclists I know have told me that it serves their needs quite well.

DENSE RESIDENTIAL unit increase is coming to the BART parking area next to Richmond Street. Grossly inadequate parking will be immediate for those units or for BART patrons or neighbors living in that vicinity.. Reducing parking in a vastly dense housing area makes No sense.

Families with CHILDREN and the ELDERLY will face a great unnecessary burden if they have to cross the street every time they need to use their cars. This poses a SAFETY issue as well .

This is an UNNECESSARY project.

I support cyclists having a dedicated lane. It ALREADY EXISTS.

Hello, My name is Kyle Brunelle
I’ve been an El Cerrito resident and homeowner for about 24 years.

First of all, I’d like to thank the city of El Cerrito for working to make our streets safer for all users.

I’m writing to express my support of adding bike lanes on Richmond street, along with other improvements, to make the street safer for all users, including pedestrians and cyclists.

I’m a relatively experienced cyclist who uses Richmond street often, but even I often feel endangered by the vehicle traffic and road conditions.

But I’m not asking to be made safer just for me and other confident cyclsits, but for it to be made safe for all users who are currently too intimidated - and endangered - to use that street.

Richmond Street should be safe enough for children and families to use it - to get to school or the swim center or BART or wherever they need to go.

I’m sympathetic with the concern expressed by some Richmond street residents about losing some of the on-street parking. But as the City survey shows, currently the parking usage is around 40%. The proposals will preserve 50 % of existing parking, so there seems to be no shortage of parking.

I’d also like to point out that Richmond is a 100% residential street.

However, it gets treated like a highway because of it’s design, which encourages high volume and high speed use, and this endangers everyone along it, especially the residents.

Thank you,
Kyle

Hello City Council,
I am writing to express my extreme opposition to the proposed modifications to Richmond St that will remove parking. I was unable to attend the meeting tonight, but listened in. (And as aside, it’s just as well, since you did not leave enough time for public comment. You were informed there were 28 speakers, you told the clerk they’d have 2min each, but then you limited comment to 30min…. Why?) I heard several speakers speaking both in favor and against the proposed changes to Richmond St. I noticed that except for the girl phoebe, none of the speakers in favor of the bike lane actually live on Richmond. People brought up the parking occupancy “data” that you provided at the community meeting. First, no accurate conclusion can be drawn from two single time points and I seriously question those two data points, as anyone who regularly drives down the street can tell you. It’s more like 80% occupied most times. In the initial presentation of the project and the information that’s still on your website under “What will this project include?, there is no mention of dedicated bike lanes. However in the more recent presentations, this seems to be a foregone conclusion, and it’s just a matter of deciding how to incorporate them. The tree bulb-outs south of Moeser will reduce parking considerably for no real effect on slowing traffic, since that’s just where cars would otherwise be parked. But even worse the bike lanes with parking completely eliminated on alternating sides of each block north of Moeser will reduce available parking by MORE than 50%, as during each transition there will be no parking on either side. I just really don’t understand why a bike lane is needed on Richmond St, when the Ohlone greenway runs parallel just a few blocks away. If for some reason a bike lane is needed, why can’t it be on Elm. The residents of Richmond St already have to deal with heavy traffic and speeding cars. Why can’t you just focus on improving pedestrian safety by adding the corner bulbs, additional stop lights, and speed bumps, and then put a bike lane as a “bicycle boulevard” on Elm? That would not put all the burden and imposition on the residents of Richmond St.

Thank you,
Amy de Hart

Caution! This message was sent from outside your organization.

Dear El Cerrito City Council Members,
I’m writing about how I feel that Public Comment was mismanaged at the December 17 City Council meeting.

Outgoing Mayor Rudnick was told that there were 28 people who wanted to speak at the meeting. She then said that public comment would be limited to 2 minutes/person with a cut off after 30 minutes. I would bet that not everyone heard the 30 minute cut off decision. If everyone were to take their full 2 minutes, she essentially excluded 13 of 28 people from being able to make their comments.

How could this have been handled differently and equitably? Ideally, Mayor Rudnick would have allowed everyone to speak for 2 minutes which would have made the public comment period last just under one hour. This would have been in keeping with the length of some public comment periods at previous City Council meetings Alternatively, she could have limited everyone to one minute, which would have allowed everyone the chance to speak. Many would have probably been frustrated by not being able to say everything that they wanted to say.

Since Mayor Rudnick set a 2 minute limit for public comment and then set a 30 minute cut off, she should have acknowledged verbally that not everyone would get to speak, given her reasons for choosing to do this and at least apologized to those who would be prevented from speaking. I imagine that she would have pointed out that they could submit their comments in writing via letter or email. This may not have been a satisfactory alternative for some, but in this way Mayor Rudnick would have been more upfront about and taken responsibility for what she was doing.

I feel that what happened yesterday evening was another example of how Mayor Rudnick has been undemocratic in her decisions over the past year. Not knowing what her motivation was for her decision, I am left to wonder, knowing that there was a considerable number of people present who are supporters of Palestinian rights and a Ceasefire Resolution, whether Mayor Rudnick was again letting her own biases shut down the voices of El Cerrito residents with whom she disagreed.

I would ask that the City Council moving forward adopt guidelines for managing public speaking in a way that allows all those who want to speak the opportunity to do so or give clear explanations as to why they will not be allowed to speak. I ask also that the City Council rework their process for setting meeting agendas so that one City Council member's biases can not stifle sharing amongst our elected representatives and the public about issues important to the citizens of El Cerrito.

Sincerely,
Fred Bialy

Dear Mayor and Council Members,
My wife and I have been residents on Richmond St for 4 years. We love the neighborhood and are excited to start our family here. However, we have serious concerns about the upcoming Richmond Street Complete Streets Improvement Project, which has proposed a plan to remove 50+% of available street parking spaces on Richmond St from Moeser Ln to Hill St. These critical parking spaces are being replaced by bike lanes & mid-block chicanes. As one of the ~200 households living on that stretch of Richmond St, I think this proposal is misguided in its attempts and will do more harm than good for our city. I am bringing forward my concerns to this forum because the project staff seem to think they do not have the power to alter their plans significantly.
*Harm to Richmond St residents and through traffic*
I believe that the added bike lanes will increase danger on Richmond St because:

Many residents will be forced to cross a busy street or walk long lengths down their block to get to their front door from their cars. This will pose a severe challenge to our elderly neighbors and those with limited mobility. 20% of El Cerrito residents are age 65+, and many others, including my own family, will also be affected when family and friends visit.

Increased risk of accidents on Richmond St: Crowded street parking reduces visibility for residents backing out of driveways. Cars & bikes traveling down Richmond will have a harder time spotting cars pulling out of driveways, and vice versa. Richmond St is already difficult to pull out into, especially during rush hour and near intersections (where traffic often piles up). The proposed changes would make Richmond St more dangerous to drivers and cyclists alike, but especially so for residents living on the street.

The project team tries to justify the removal of street parking by pointing to the survey of parking space usage, which they claim shows that less than half of the available parking spots on Richmond are used today. This conclusion is flawed -- while some blocks have low parking usage, the survey actually showed that certain blocks are already near capacity! It also doesn't take into consideration other regular usage of this space by delivery vans, utility vehicles, trash cans on trash day, etc. Removing so much street parking will cause chaos on Richmond St, with cars struggling to find parking, UPS trucks blocking driving lanes, and trash cans spilling into bike lanes. When residents responded that we'd be willing to remove "some" street parking for designated spaces for bicyclists, we weren't signing up for a 50+% reduction. We need to find a safer solution that does not Agenda Packet Page 121 of 134
require such a drastic reduction in parking spaces. For example, I would be happy to support features such as tree bulb-outs (already proposed for South of Moeser Ln) which bolster safety for cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers alike by calming traffic, and the various proposed intersection features to improve crossing safety, while still preserving a reasonable amount of street space.
*Inefficient investment into cyclist safety*
I'm fully supportive of making El Cerrito safer for cyclists, but I don’t think adding dedicated bike lanes to the already-crowded Richmond St. is the best way to do so. The project team has admitted that they don't know how much cyclist traffic they even expect on Richmond St. On the other hand, El Cerrito's Active Transportation Plan lists Cycling as being only

0.7% of all transportation taken in the city (2014). The plan also states that only 2 of the 58 biking accidents between 2008 and 2012 occurred on that affected length of Richmond St.

Why is the project so fixated on building dedicated bike lanes on Richmond St, when it's not even clear we need this? The Ohlone greenway provides a safe and dedicated bike lane just 1-2 blocks away, and we're already investing in improvements to the Greenway through other projects. I think the project should not lose sight of its original goal to "provide safe and accessible *pedestrian* connections between El Cerrito’s neighborhoods". Filling out potholes, repairing broken sidewalks, and implementing alternative traffic-calming methods, such as those proposed for South of Moeser Ln, would be far more effective at improving safety for cyclists and pedestrians in this area.

At the project's latest community meeting, project staff stated that they do not have the option to propose alternate safety measures to dedicated bike lanes, due to policies previously set in place by City Council. Is this true? Please help our city prioritize projects in a way that will actually benefit its residents. Invest in the Greenway and in repairing our roads, including Richmond St. Don't replace the parking spots we desperately need with bike lanes that do not improve overall cyclist and pedestrian safety.

Thank you,
Ethan Kim

Caution! This message was sent from outside your organization.

City Council Members,
I DO NOT support the proposed bike lanes on Richmond Street between Moeser Lane and Hill Street. I must have parking in front of my home.

Although you have been promoting vague ideas about the Richmond Street Complete Streets Improvement Project since last summer, you DID NOT INFORM north Richmond Street residents about the actual plan to remove 50 percent of their street parking until just before Thanksgiving, with a meeting for Richmond Street residents only December 7.

There is no need for bike lanes on Richmond Street. There is already a well-used transit-connected bike path on the Ohlone Greenway just west of Richmond Street.

No one living on Richmond Street needs a bike lane. Richmond Street residents must drive cars to work and need to park those cars in front of their homes. Many residents are elderly, have mobility issues, and need to access parking in front of their homes. Adding bike lands makes Richmond Street unsafe for these residents.

Yes to trees, better crosswalk markings, and TRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT on Richmond Street. NO TO BIKE LANES!
Shelby H. Young, Richmond Street Resident

City of El Cerrito Transportation Impact Fee Annual Report FY 2023-2024 December 17, 2024 1
A. INTRODUCTION
In January 2019, the City of El Cerrito City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2019- 1 adding Chapter 4.54 - Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) to the El Cerrito Municipal Code (ECMC), Title 4 - Revenue and Finance. The TIF was established under authority granted by the Mitigation Fee Act, AB 1600, contained in Sections 66000 to 66025 of the California Government Code.

This report contains information on the City of El Cerrito’s TIF for Fiscal Year 2023- 2024 (ending June 30, 2024).

B. ANNUAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Pursuant to Government Code section 66006(b)(1), within 180 days after the end of each fiscal year, the City Council shall receive a report that includes the following information:
• A brief description of the TIF.
• The amount of the fee (TIF schedule).
• The beginning and ending balance of the TIF account for the prior fiscal year.
• The amount of the fees collected, and the interest earned in the prior fiscal year.
• Information from the City’s current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) including:
– Expenditure of fee revenue on transportation improvements and other program costs in the prior fiscal year, including expenditure amounts, identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended, and the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with the TIF.
– Programming of the ending account balance to specific transportation improvements and the timing of those improvements within the planning horizon of the City’s current CIP, including an approximate construction start date for incomplete public improvement projects for which sufficient funds have been collected.
– Description of any interfund transfers or loans, including identification of the public improvement on which the transfer or loan will be expended, any loan repayment dates, and the rate of interest on any loans made from the TIF account.

Also, per Government Code 66006(b)(2), the report must be made available to the public at least 15 days prior to the regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council at which the report is considered, and mailed, at least 15 days prior to the meeting, to any interested party who files a written request with the City for mailed notice of the meeting.

C. TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEE DESCRIPTION
To implement the goals and objectives of the City of El Cerrito’s General Plan and related expert and specific plans, and to mitigate the impacts caused by future development in the City, certain transportation improvements must be constructed.

The City Council has determined that a Transportation Impact Fee is needed to finance these transportation improvements and to pay for each development’s fair share of the construction and acquisition costs of the necessary transportation improvements.

The City Council adopted Council Resolution 2018-70 setting the amount of the fee, describing the need for the fee, listing the types of transportation improvements to be financed, describing the estimated cost of these improvements, describing the reasonable relationship between the fee and the several types of future development, and setting time for payment of the fee.

The transportation improvements eligible for funding with the TIF are based on prior planning studies completed to support the City’s growth and the impact of that growth on the transportation system. The focus of these improvements is to connect El Cerrito residents to employment and activity centers and major transit facilities within the City and in neighboring jurisdictions. These improvements are located and connect to San Pablo Avenue, the City’s primary transportation corridor serving all modes. The TIF project list is a selection of projects from the following: San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan (SPASP), Active Transportation Plan (ATP) and Ohlone Greenway Master Plan, which were previously adopted by the City Council.

The City applies the TIF to building permits associated with New Construction and Intensification of Use as described in the TIF Administrative Guidelines approved by the City Manager in April 2019 and updated in June 2020. City staff, as part of their typical process of reviewing a proposed Development Project, determine the land use categories that are applicable and calculate the TIF based on the TIF Administrative Guidelines. This applies to both private and public Development Projects. The TIF payment is due at the time of building permit issuance.

The Capital Improvement Fund, Non-Departmental Capital Outlay, Transportation Impact Fees Account (301-90-50 48610) receives all Transportation Impact Fees collected and all interest generated, and is used to pay for design, engineering, environmental review, permits, right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation, project management and construction of the transportation improvements as designated in Council Resolution 2018-70.

D. FEE SCHEDULE
The amount of the TIF was originally established by City Council Resolution No. 2018-70 on December 18, 2018. Beginning July 1, 2019 and each July 1 thereafter, the TIF is to be adjusted as described in the TIF Administrative Guidelines. The annual fee adjustment is based on the annual percentage change in the Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index for the San Francisco Bay Area for the prior 12-month period, from February of the prior year to February of the current year. The adjustment is then to be adopted by the City Council along with the City’s Master Fee Schedule on an annual basis and implemented by July

1. The TIF in Fiscal Year 2023-24 was established by City Council Resolution No. 2023-35 on May 3, 2023 as summarized below.

Land Use Fee
Residential
Single Family $4,143 per dwelling unit
Multi-Family $2,900 per dwelling unit
Nonresidential
Commercial $5.58 per square foot
Hotel/Motel $4.56 per square foot
Office $4.80 per square foot
Industrial $3.03 per square foot
Other* $ 3,984 per equivalent dwelling unit
Note: *Applies to development projects that do not clearly conform to one of the defined residential or nonresidential categories and is likely to be applicable only in exceptional cases. In such cases the fee would be based on an estimated trip generation rate adjusted for equivalent dwelling units (EDU) and multiplied by the same cost per EDU applied to the other land use categories, as described in the TIF Administrative Guidelines.

E. FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The table below summarizes TIF beginning fund balance, fees collected and returned, interest earned in the account, expenses, and ending fund balance for Fiscal Year 2023-24.

Caution! This message was sent from outside your organization.

Please correct the chart showing expenses added instead of subtracted from balance.

Please explain why this substantial amount of money is not earring interest.

Please address why both last year and this year the beginning balance needed to be corrected from the ending balance of the previous year.

Caution! This message was sent from outside your organization.

There is a serious accounting error in the Transportation Impact Fee Annual Report being presented as Item C on the City Council agenda this evening.

Both the Agenda Bill and the full annual report attached to it contain the following table:
image.png
As you can see, this table has added expenses rather than subtracting them (technically, they have entered expenses as a negative value and then used a formula that subtracted this value instead of summing). The result is that the Ending Balance is overstated by $121,358.22 The footnote in the table that says the Beginning Balance has been corrected is not correct; it is still picking up the number reported in the FY 2022-23 Annual Report, which made the same error, though in that case it's a much smaller error. However, this does raise the question as to how far back this error has been made, since it looks like they are just using the same spreadsheet template from year to year.

Also, there is no entry for Interest Earned, which seems unlikely for a fund with a balance of several hundred thousand dollars. Any interest earnings are restricted to the impact fee fund.

This error appears to come from a mistake in the Excel formula, though it's a little disturbing that the report was signed off by both the Public Works Director and the City Manager without anyone catching it.

I will note that this mistake was flagged and posted to NextDoor by another El Cerrito resident; I'm just passing along that information.
