Request the City Council Approve Resolution No. 2023-45 to authorize the Escondido Fire Department to accept FY 2021 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) funds; authorize the Fire Chief or his designee to execute grant documents on behalf of the City; and approve budget adjustments needed to spend grant funds. The Department of Homeland Security has authorized the City of Escondido to spend its funds on equipment to protect the public. The Fire Department will receive $29,727.27 from this award.

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Fire Department: Rick Vogt, Fire Chief) Presenter: John Tenger, Deputy Fire Chief

FISCAL ANALYSIS
This is a reimbursable, cost-sharing grant. The FEMA AFG award will contribute $29,727.27 towards the purchase of 51 pieces of large diameter fire hose. The Fire Department’s FY 2023-24 operating budget will be used to pay the local matching amount of $2,972.73 (10%).

PREVIOUS ACTION

The Fire Department has been awarded previous grants under the AFG and Council has previously authorized staff to accept AFG funds for the following items:

 FY04 - Installation of diesel exhaust removal systems in all stations and upgrades for EKG monitors  FY05 - Purchase of firefighter safety clothing

SUBJECT
REVIEW AND AFFIRM CO MMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (“CDBG”) , HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM (“HOME”) AND EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANTS (“ESG”) PRIORITIES IN THE 2020-2024 CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND MAKE A SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE 2021 ANNUAL

ACTION PLAN

DEPARTMENT
Development Services Department; Housing and Neighborhood Services Division

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

1. Funding priorities for CDBG and HOME activities for FY 2023-24 It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council prioritize funding opportunities through CDBG and HOME to goals that have not yet been achieved in the five-year Consolidated Plan. Due to the limited number of staff and high number of contracts currently being managed, funding should be allocated in higher dollar amounts to maximize the community impact and reduce the administrative burden on City staff.

After the City Council has confirmed the City ’s priorities for the upcoming fiscal year, Housing and Neighborhood Services staff will release a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) to notify potential internal and external subrecipients. A second public hearing will be held on August 9, 2023 to review staff ’s recommendations and adopt the 2023 Annual Action Plan.

2. Adopt Resolution No. 2022 -37 approving the substantial amendment to the 2021 Annual Action Plan
Through Resolution No. 2022 -37, City staff is recommending to make a substantial amendment to eliminate two CDBG-approved projects valued at $182,040. Following this action, s taff will make a minor amendment to reallocate twenty-five percent or $158,750 to fund the Creek Trail Fencing Project.

Staff Recommendation: Provide Direction and Approval (Development Services: Andrew Firestine, Director of Development Services)
Presenter: Holly Nelson, LCSW, Housing and Neighborhood Services Manager

23 Item6.

FISCAL ANALYSIS

The CDBG and HOME administrative expenses and program activities will be partially covered by the annual grant allocation. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) announced in late February 2023 that the City will not be a recipient of the ESG grant for Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2023-2024.

In light of the decision regarding ESG funds for FY 2023-2024, the community needs identified in this report are far greater than the City’s annual allocation provided by HUD. Additional funds should be identified and allocated to support low-and-moderate income households living in Escondido.

PREVIOUS ACTION
On May 20, 2020, the City Council approved the 2020-2024 Five Year Consolidated Plan (“2020 Con Plan”) which is a five-year plan that outlines the City’s goals and funding priorities for CDBG, HOME, and ESG through June 30, 2025. The City anticipates receiving close to $1 3,000,000 from its annual allocation, program income and unused funding . Extensive public outreach and consultation, needs assessments, and market analyses on local data were conducted to determine the most critical community needs and strategic goals within the City of Escondido.

City staff released a notice on February 16, 2023 for a 30-day public comment period requesting feedback on the City’s CDBG, HOME and ESG priorities for FY 2023-24 and the proposed substantial amendments.

City staff received one public comment related to the removal of the playground equipment and how that action may impact other City plans such as General Plan and Housing Element. City staff met with Planning Staff and discussed the community member’s concerns.

The Public Hearing was noticed for the March 22, 2023 City Council Meeting, but the item was opened and continued to April 19, 2023 , and then postponed until May 24, 2023. In the interim, City staff met with City’s Ad-Hoc Subcommittee on Homelessness multiple times to provide formal presentations on the history of CDBG, funding expenditures, the City’s timeliness test, o utcomes, open public services and capital improvement projects, and the challenges to the CDBG program.

The Subcommittee offered three preliminary recommendations to City staff. It suggested to prioritize CDBG funds toward homelessness, increase funding towards the Hoffman House, and make a substantial amendment to eliminate fitness court on Washington Park and part-time debris team. The unused funds from these projects would be re-allocated to the Creek Trail Fencing Project ($158,750) through a minor amendment and the remaining balance of $23,290 would be placed in the City’s unallocated CDBG fund and reassigned to a future project. The Subcommittee expressed an interest in re-evaluating open capital improvement projects where there has been minimal program activity, expenditures or obstacles with program implementation and reassigning those unused funds to alternative projects.

24 Item6.

BACKGROUND
The City of Escondido is considered an entitlement jurisdiction and receives an annual allocation from HUD that ranges from $2.2 million to $2.6 million dollars for the operations of its CDBG, HOME and ESG programs. The funding is determined by a formula calculated by HUD based on population, people in poverty, overcrowded units, population growth la g since 1960, and pre -1940 housing units from the American Community Survey (“ACS”). The City’s allocation can fluctuate year-to-year causing funding to increase or decrease in various programs.

As a recipient of the federal funds, the City is required to submit a Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and monitor its progress, outcomes, and expenditures through the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (“CAPER”).

Housing and Neighborhood Services Staff is looking to seek input and feedback from the public and City Council on which needs and subpopulations should be prioritized in the upcoming fiscal year. The City wants to ensure the priorities listed in th is plan align with the current needs of the City while accomplishing its overarching strategic goals established within its five-year Consolidated Plan.

On February 27, 2023, HUD announced the City will receive $1,446,858 in CDBG funds, $712,111 in HOME funds, and $0 in ESG funds for FY 2023-24. CDBG and HOME have strict gu idelines on expenditures per category. For example, annual CDBG funds can be used to fund administrative expenses and planning (a maximum of 20% or $289,371), public services (up to 15% or $217,028) and capital improvement projects sponsored by either the City or by non-profit organizations (no maximum or $940,459). HOME funds can be used to fund administrative funds (10%) and must fund 15% of its annual allocation to a Community Housing Development Organization (“CHDO”), a nonprofit organization that develops affordable housing.

It is important to note that f ederal funds m ust not be used to supplant general fund spending and all funded projects must serve and benefit low- and moderate-income persons or areas in the community.

The City has a finite amount of resources it receives from HUD each year and is unable to fund all of the internal and external applicants who apply to the CDBG and HOME grants requesting assistance .

Additionally, the Housing and Neighborhood Services Team has a limited number of staff assigned to the CDBG and HOME Programs. The team is comprised of four full-time employees who oversee more than 26 CDBG and HOME contracts, manage several multi-year construction projects, and work with outside consultants. The division has had two management analyst vacancies for the past six months which has hindered program growth and development.

As the City prepares to enter its fourth year of its five-year Consolidated Plan , City staff would like to provide a snapshot on the City’s five-year consolidated plan goals, funding allocations, and the percentage of goals completed to-date.

It is staff’s recommendation t hat the City Council prioritize funding opportunities to goals that have not yet been achieved in the five-year Consolidated Plan. Due to the limited number of staff and high number 28 Item6.

of contracts currently being managed, funding should be allocated in higher dollar amounts to maximize the community impact and reduce the administrative burden on City staff.

After the City Council has confirmed the City’s priorities for the upcoming fiscal year, Housing and Neighborhood Services staff w ill release a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) to notify po tential internal and external subrecipients. A second public hearing will be held on August 9, 2023 to review staff’s recommendations and adopt the 2023 Annual Action Plan. The final plan must be submitted to HUD by August 16, 2023.

SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT
In reviewing past CDBG-funded projects and meeting with internal City leaders, City staff is recommending to make a substantial amendment to eliminate the following two CDBG-approved projects of the fitness court and debris crew valued at $182,040.

Each year, City staff is required by HUD to execute projects and expend funds in a timely manner. A CDBG- funded jurisdiction can have no more than 1.5x of its annual allocation by May of each year. According to HUD, this is a known as a “timeliness test” and the City has historically had difficulty meeting this test. In 2020 and 2021, HUD offered many jurisdictions waivers on the timeliness test rule due to the pandemic; however, those exceptions are no longer in effect and formal notifications and warnings have been issued.

The consequences of a jurisdiction not meeting HUD’s timeliness goal can range from receiving a formal letter to developing a workout plan to losing future funds.

City staff is committed to addressing this issue and expending funds in a timely manner and has been meeting with HUD staff on potential solutions. Accordingly, staff is recommending to reallocate projects that had not had any activity, expenditure, or challenges in executive. The goal of staff’s present recommendation is to meet the community’s needs while trying to prudently spend down its allocated resources.

SUBJECT

REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO PROCESS A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR A PLANNED OFFICE DESIGNATED PROPERTY ADDRESSED AT 855 BROTHERTON ROAD (PL23-0160)

DEPARTMENT

Development Services Department, Planning Division

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Request that the City Council authorize City staff to accept and process an application for an amendment to the General Plan land-use designation from Planned Office (PO) to Urban V (U5) with a density of up to 30 dwelling units per acre (du/ac).

Staff Recommendation: Authorize the initiation of a General Plan Amendment (Development Services Department: Andrew Firestine, Director of Development Services)

Presenter: Jay Paul, Senior Planner

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Development Services Department received a request from Trammell Crow (“Applicant”) to initiate a General Plan Amendment of the subject property from Planned Office ( PO) to Urban V (U5). This proposed General Plan Amendment would facilitate the development of a multi-family residential project and density bonus for affordable units with an overall density of approximately 34 du/ac and potential yield of up to 270 units. The proposed project would also include demolition of an existing religious facility on the subject property, but would retain existing school buildings.

The City Council is being asked to determine whether or not to authorize an application to amend the General Plan land-use designation for the subject parcel. Authorizing this request does not have a legally binding effect on any possible future discretionary action. This direction does not reflect whether the City Council would ultimately approve the request or the proposed project. The City Council’s formal action on the Gen eral Plan Amendment and project would be taken in the future at a public hearing with a recommendation from the Planning Commission.

34 Item7.

LOCATION

The 14.5-acre parcel is located on the southeast corner of Felicita Avenue and Brotherton Road, addressed at 855 Brotherton Road (Assessor Parcel Numbers 236-333-41-00 and 236-333-53-00) and is depicted in Attachment “1” to this staff report.

FISCAL ANALYSIS

Authorization to process this General Plan Amendment would have no direct fiscal impact. The privately initiated request, if and when submitted, would be processed using existing staff resources with costs to be paid by the project applicant. Future redevelopment of the property would require on - and off-site improvements to conform to curren t design standards. The applicant would be responsible for constructing these improvements. As part of the overall decision -making process to move forward with a proposed development project, it is important to evaluate the contributions and demands that development will place upon a public agency’s general fund and the city or county’s ability to provide ongoing public services. To avoid the need for a city or county to subsidize new development, cities and counties can establish or require special fundi ng mechanisms to ensure that new development pays for itself. At the time of this writing, an applicant is required to fully offset potential impacts to the General Fund created by their project. This can be accomplished through either formation of a Community Facilities District (“CFD”), annexation into CFD No. 2020 -01, or establishment of another lawful funding mechanism reasonably acceptable to the City (“Public Services Funding Agreement”). It should be noted, however, that the City Council has direc ted staff to look at the current policy and bring back recommendations that may modify this requirement. Based on the current project description/density, the applicable CFD requirement is $840.25 per unit or $226,867.50 per year for a 270 -unit multi-family development.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS

In accordance with section 33-1261 of the Zoning Code, a property owner may petition for an amendment to the General Plan by filing a formal request/letter with the Planning Division and the planning staff schedules a review of the request at a City Council meeting. The City Council considers the request and determines whether to allow formal application for processing. If the request is authorized for processing, the interested parties will be advised to submit the required application(s) with the City’s Planning Division, which will include initial environmental documentation, submittal of all fees/deposits, and project plans, etc. The proposed amendment to the General Plan and associated project will required consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council at noticed public hearings.

A letter of intent was submitted to be considered to initiate the amendment to the General Plan, and the letter provides additional information on the intent of the application (Attachment 2). Planning staff has met with the applicant to discuss some preliminary issues related to the feasibility of the request, possible environmental and design concerns, and the procedures to be followed through the process. It is 35 Item7.

anticipated the application will include request s for a General Plan Amendment; a Zone Change from R- E-20 to R-5-30 (Multi-Family Residential, up to 30 du/ac); a Major Plot Plan, inclusive of a Density Bonus; an Adjustment Plat; and a Conditional Use Permit modification. (The modification to the Conditional Use Permit would address alterations to the existing religious facility/school to accommodate the proposed project.) The applicant will also be seeking certain concessions/incentives and other reductio ns in code requirements (e.g., parking, open space, building height/stories, landscaping, etc.) as permitted through the Density Bonus process. Details of the proposed project will be analyzed by city staff once a formal application is submitted. It is p ossible the initial project description may require changes as a result of issues identified during review of the project. Any changes will be reviewed to ensure they meet the strategic goals identified in the General Plan.

The current General Plan desig nation for the project site is Planned Office and is within the Felicita Corporate Office Target Area as shown in Attachment 3. The underlying zoning designation is Residential Estate 2 (RE-20) which is a single -family residential/estate designation. As such, the zoning designation for the project is currently inconsistent with the General Plan land use designation. While an amendment to the General Plan land use designation would change an office use to a residential use, the associated change in zon ing would represent a significant increase in density compared to the current zoning and historic use of properties in the immediate vicinity. The subject site is currently developed with a religious facility, classroom buildings, associated parking and grass fields. The surrounding neighborhood generally consists of single-family/estate residential development, along with Miller Elementary School to the northeast and a residential-care facility further to the north. Interstate 15 and the Felicita Road on- and off-ramps are located to the south. Development to the south of the subject site include a mix of open fields, limited agriculture, single-family residential. Rady Children’s Medical Office facility, Acacia Animal Hospital and New Life Presbyterian Church are located further to the southeast.

In accordance with State law, each General Plan Element may not be amended more than four times in a calendar year. One amendment to the Housing Element and one amendment to the Land Use Element (for the North Iris Project) have been approved thus far in 2023. The East Valley Specific Plan, which would include an amendment to the Land Use Element of the General Plan, is anticipated to be considered by the Planning Commission and City Council this summer, and would constitute a second amendment to that element . Additionally, i n April of this year, the City Council authorized staff to process another amendment to the Land Use Element (for a property located at 240 S. Hickory Street) which, if approved this calendar year, would be the third amendment to that element. While it may seem that this proposal would constitute the fourth amendment to the Land Use Element, it should be noted that both the third and fourth requests (240 S. Hickory Street, and the subject project, respectively) have only been to initiate amendments, and do not constitute approval of an amendment. If another request to authorize an amendment to the Land Use Element is made this calendar year, and all r equests were subsequently brought forward for consideration before the end of 2023, the requested amendments could be bundled into a single amendment. (At this time, staff has not received any other requests for authorization to process an amendment to the Land Use Element.)

36 Item7.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

The request to initiate a General Plan Amendment is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15262, Feasibility and Planning Studies, which states that “ A Project involving only feasibility or planning studies for possible future actions which the agency, board, or commission has not approved, adopted, or funded does not require the preparation of an EIR of Negative Declaration .” Because the reque st involves only the consideration of whether to process an application for an amendment of the General Plan, and not the amendment itself, action taken by the City Council on this item provides only general direction and does not have a legally binding effect on any possible future discretionary action.

In accordance with CEQA, all Project requests are required to have an environmental assessment to determine potential environmental impact, if any. The proposed project, if submitted, will be subject to environmental assessment to determine potential environmental impacts in accordance with CEQA at that time.

SUBJECT

REIDY CREEK GOLF COURSE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

DEPARTMENT
Communications and Community Services

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-43, authorizing the Mayor to amend the Golf Course Management Agreement (“Management Agreement”) with Escondido Golf, LLC , Inc. for the management and operation of Reidy Creek Golf Course.

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Communications and Community Services: Joanna Axelrod) Presenter: Vince McCaw, Real Property Manager and Tom Bugbee, Escondido Golf, LLC representative

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Under the terms of the current Management Agreement, Escondido Golf, LLC, (“Manager”) receives a fee of $75,000 per year to manage the Reidy Creek Golf Course, which is $11,000/year less than the amount paid to the previous management company. In addition, they are eligible to receive an incentive fee of 10% of the net profit after debt service . However, outside bond counsel advised that an incentive fee based on net profit is not allowed per the Internal Revenue Code. The proposed amendment to the agreement corrects this by recalculating the potential incentive fee based on gross revenue. The new incentive fee will be calculated annually by taking 15% of the delta between actual gross revenue for the completed Operating Year and that of the prior Operating Year’s actual Gross Revenue. The total incentive paid during any given Operating Year shall not exceed 15% of the total management fee paid for that year, and in order to qualify for an incentive payment, the gross revenue must be at least 10% higher that it was in the previous Operating Year. For example, if gross revenue for the prior year was $100,000 and the gross revenue for the completed operating year was $120,000, the incentive payment would be 15% of the $20,000 increase, or $3,000. The incentive payment can never exceed 15% of the total management fee paid that operating year.

PREVIOUS ACTION
On September 19 , 20 22, City Council approved entering into a Management Agreement with the Manager, LLC. The Management Agreement provides t hat the Manager will be responsible for all operations and maintenance of the golf course facility and will be paid a fee for these services. The term 42 Item8.

of the agreement is five years and may be renewed for one additional four-year period at the City Council’s discretion. This term runs to the completion of the bond payment term which is October 2030.

BACKGROUND
Course History
Reidy Creek is an 18 -hole executive municipal golf course that opened in 2002 and was developed in conjunction with the 222 -lot Brookside residential development approved by the City Council in July of 2000. The course is constructed on approximately 65 acres of which 25 acres was owned by the City and 40 acres was transferred to the City by New Urban West, the Brookside developer . Amenities for public use include a 2,582-yard course that offers 18 holes of golf, disc golf , and foot golf; a pro shop with golf and disc golf merchandise; and the renovated Clubhouse and Creekside Tavern that also serves as a venue for meetings and special events.

A 26-acre portion of the Property serves as a silt detention basin and flood control facility for large storms when runoff exceeds the carrying capacity of the Reidy Creek channel running through the site. The Course creates an approximate 100-foot-wide naturally contoured drainage channel with a 40-foot-wide natural bottom. Flows from Reidy Creek that exceed system capacity from north of the site are diverted and detained west of North Broadway on holes 11 through 17 of the golf course.

In addition to the financial operations of Reidy Creek, the City is also responsible for the debt service of tax-exempt Lease Revenue Bonds that were issued in April 2001 for the construction of the golf course.

It was intended that income earned at the p roperty would pay or subsidize the debt service payments which average about $361,000 a year. Unfortunately, since its opening in 2002, this has never been realized. The current outstanding principal and interest on the bonds is approximately $2,900,000 which will be paid in full October 2030.

In January 2022, staff provided a summary of the history of Reidy Creek Golf Course, including obstacles that have been faced and the recent improvements made to the course. For years, Reidy Creek reported operating d eficits and steps were taken, such as reducing staff costs , to address the deficit . Revenue generating activities were introduced, including foot golf in 2016 and disc golf in 2019. These golf alternatives provide more affordable, multigenerational, family -oriented opportunities expanding the course’s client base. In addition, clubhouse improvements for the “Creekside Tavern” were completed in 2020, giving a fresh look to the interior and the ability for the space to be rented for meetings and events.

Alternative Uses of the Property
As the previous management agreement was expiring in June 2022, City staff explored alternatives for the property, however, the options for changing the use of the property are limited due to the Lease Revenue Bonds issued to co nstruct the golf course. In order to maintain the tax -exempt status of the bonds, the law requires that the property must be used for municipal purposes. City Council considered options, which included continuing to operate the space as a golf course, repurposing the course into an 43 Item8.

open space park or letting the course go fallow. Each of the options had costs associated with them and Council ultimately decided to continue to operate the golf course through the term of the debt service payments and to move forward with issuing a Request for Proposal for the management of Reidy Creek Golf Course.

Escondido Golf, LLC was selected to manage Reidy Creek Golf Course and the City e ntered into a Management Agreement, which provides that the Manager will be responsible for all operations and maintenance of the golf course facility and will be paid a fee for these services.

Escondido Golf Operational Update
Since the Manager over management of the golf course, they have faced several challenges which included poor course conditions, antiquated equipment, delays with obtaining a liquor license and heavy rains. The greens at the course had visible turf loss, bunkers were covered with foreign grass and debris, the rough area was overgrown, tee boxes were not regularly mown and there was an overall lack of detail work.

The golf course equipment , which belongs to the City, is original to the opening of the course and has exceeded its operational lifespan. Multiple pieces of equipment failed prior to the transition. Public Works is repairing the equipment as best they can and the Manager has loaned equipment until a long -term solution is reached. A funding source has not yet been identified but the project is included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program unfunded projects list.

The Manager was required to apply for a new beer and wine license, delaying the ability to sell alcoholic beverages for 5 ½ months, which also affected group event bookings, select community events , and continued patronage after rounds of golf. The beer and wine license was obtained in March 2023, with sales beginning on St. Patrick’s Day. Post golf patronage has increased as golfers are now able to socialize after playing. Select golf and non-golf event scheduling has resumed.

In addition, unusual weather-related events resulted in precipitation reaching three times the national average. While the course has been dealing with flooding issues for years, the flooding from these storms resulted in significant tunnel and course fl ooding, necessitating a partial closure of the course for approximately 90 days.

The Manager’s focus has been on improving the previous deferred maintenance of the course by restoring the fairways, tees, rough , and greens. The bunkers have been cleared of weeds and debris, and are maintained on a regular basis now.

The Manager has hired a second instructor to help facilitate instructional programming during the season.

Individual and group instruction are offered, with a target market including juniors, w omen, seniors and families, and they are partnering with the City to market instructional programming through the City’s Recreational Guide.
44 Item8.

Short term improvements to the footgolf course have been identified to improve the overall family experience, including cup repair, new flag purchases and potentially establishing smoother turf around footgolf greens. The Manager is working with the disc golf community and have identified improvements to the disc golf course that will further strengthen their presence in this market. A funding source for these improvements has not yet been identified but the projects are included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program unfunded projects list. The Manager has serviced both annual and new disc golf events, including the Creekside Fling and the Disc Golf Masters Tour.

Management Agreement Term Amendment
Under the terms of the current management agreement, the Manager receives a fee of $75,000 per year to manage the Reidy Creek Golf Course, which is $11,000/year less than the amount paid to the previously operator. In addition, they are eligible to receive an incentive fee of 10% of the net profit after debt service.

However, outside bond counsel advised that an incentive fee based on net profit is not allowed per the Internal Revenue Code . The proposed amendment to the agreement corrects this by recalculating the potential incentive fee based on gross revenue. The new incentive fee will be calculated annually by taking 15% of the delta between actual gross revenue for the completed Operating Year and that of the prior Operating Year’s actual Gross Revenue. The total incentive paid during any given Operating Year shall not exceed 15% of the total management fee paid for that year , and in order to qualify for an incentive payment, the gross revenue must be at least 10% higher that it was in the previous Operating Year. For example, if gross revenue for the prior year was $100,000 and the gross revenue for the completed operating year was $120,000, the incentive payment would be 15% of the $20,000 increase, or $3,000.

The incentive payment can never exceed 15% of the total management fee paid that operating year.

Reidy C reek Golf Course is funded with tax -exempt municipal bonds , and in order to receive these benefits, we must ensure that the requirements under the Internal Revenue Code are met, for as long as the bonds remain outstanding. The greatest risk is that the bonds become taxable retroactive to the date of issuance, causing the interest to become taxable to the bondholders. This change to the incentive fee calculation is required to keep the City in compliance.

Staff recommends executing the First Amendment to the Management Agreement with Escondido Golf, LLC, to revise the incentive fee calculation. All other terms of the Agreement are to remain unchanged.

RECOMMENDATION
Request that the City Council review the proposed Fiscal Year 2023/24 Five-Year Capital Improvement Program and Budget and authorize staff to return with the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Capital Improvement Program and Budget for final adoption on June 21, 2023.

Staff Recommendation: Provide Direction (Finance: Christina Holmes, Director of Finance) Presenter: Michelle Collett, Revenue Manager and Julie Procopio, City Engineer

FISCAL ANALYSIS
See Below.

PREVIOUS ACTION
The preliminary Five-Year CIP and FY2022/23 CIP Budget update was taken to the City Council on May 11, 2022. The City Council approved the Five-Year CIP and Budget for FY2022/23 on June 8, 2022.

BACKGROUND
The Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) is a five-year planning tool for major infrastructure, capital construction, improvements, maintenance projects, and other non‐capital type projects to accommodate restricted funding requirements. The CIP budget is adopted for a single year only, but the plan includes projected programming over a five -year period. The budget is updated and developed annually with a review of on -going projects, determination of available funding, and evaluation and prioritization of projects that respond to current needs and priorities of the City of Escondido (“City”).

Section 1 of the attached Preliminary CIP Budget lists the staff recommendations of projects to be funded in the FY2023/24 Five-Year Capital Improvement Program. A detailed description of each project and the funding source is provided, sorted by the type of project: General City, Library, Parks and Recreation, Public Art, Public Works, Streets, Wastewater Utilities and Water Utilities. 51 Item10.

Section 2 of the attached Preliminary CIP Budget lists the unfunded future capital projects and the deferred maintenance and replacement projects that we are unable to fund through operations.

A description of funding sources and projected available balances and uses are listed in Section 3 of the Preliminary CIP Budget. Nearly all capital projects in the City are paid for using funds which are restricted in some fashion by the funding source:
 Gas Tax, Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation funds, and Transnet funding account for a majority of the City’s $13 million in street projects.
 Development Impact fees, including Park Development, Public Art, Public Facilities, Storm Drain, and Traffic Impact Fees, are collected for the purpose of mitigating the impact of the development on the community. As the City continues to experience growth and expansion resulting from new development, it is anticipated that in FY202 3/24, approximately $3.8 million from collections of development impact fees will be available to support appropriate projects.  Water and Wastewater Capital Projects totaling $1.5 million this year are funded by a combination of customer fees.

VCC is defined as a cool zone in our City’s Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP). Escondido is surrounded by terrain that creates a very high fire hazard. SDG&E’s current plan to reduce fire danger in very high fire hazard areas is to strategically employ preventative grid shutdowns, referred to as Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). In 2020, areas of Escondido were affected by SDG&E’s PSPS due to high wind events. In November of 2019, we applied for a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) Resiliency grant allocation through Cal OES to fund a generator at the PW Yard and EVCC. Unfortunately, we did not receive the grant. Installing a new CARB compliant backup generator at the EVCC will ensure that the City meets the obligations outlined in the City’s COOP for these critical emergency functions.

In 2020, areas of Escondido were affected by SDG&E’s PSPS due to high wind events. Around 2012, the Public Works Yard backup generator was decommissioned due to not meeting current California Air Resources Board (CARB) air quality requirements. Since 2012, the Public Works Emergency Operations Center (Call Center), critical communication infrastructure, emergency vehicle fueling, traffic signal control operations center, and emergency vehicle repair has not been protected against grid power failures and/or planned SDG&E PSPS events. Installing a new CARB compliant backup generator at the Public Works Yard will ensure that Public Works meets the obligations outlined in the City’s Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) for these critical emergency functions.

CITYWIDE STORM DRAIN MAINTENANCE
The C
ity is required to conduct annual inspections and cleaning/maintenance of its storm conveyance system infrastructure including inlets, catch basins, pipes, and curb and gutter. Funds provide equipment and staff costs to remove and dispose of trash, debris, sediment, and leaves and properly document these City activities related to pollution prevention. New requirements to install trash screens in storm drains (CIP 80061) will increase maintenance and staff costs in future Fiscal Years.

This
project corrects drainage problems in the Spruce Street storm water conveyance channel. Grading variances, nonnative plants, and sediment deposits led to standing water in the upper channel, functioning as habitat for breeding mosquitoes and presenting water quality concerns. The City has worked since 2013 to redesign the channel (within existing constraints) and complete CEQA and environmental permitting. The City secured grant funding totaling $638,500 from County Vector Habitat Grant and $258,000 from State Proposition 1 funds. The Environmental Programs Division is leading this project in coordination with Engineering.

DALEY RANCH TRAIL ALIGNMENT AND HABITAT RESTORATION
Dale
y Ranch is a 3,201-acre conservation area managed in perpetuity for the preservation of a biologically unique and diverse habitat area of regional importance. Offering 25 miles of multipurpose trails for hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian use, it is one of most-visited natural resources in Escondido. This project will dramatically improve trail alignment, restore habitat, and allow native flora and fauna to return to this area. It will prevent erosion of sediment from the “roads” that are currently being used as trails from running into the lakes and also provide increased opportunities for sports tourism via bike and foot races. This project will dramatically reduce ongoing maintenance costs because the identified trails are currently unsustainable (at bedrock), and the long- term proposed fix will reduce the need for maintenance for 5-10 years depending on usage.

PHYSICAL SECURITY ACCESS SYSTEM

The current Security Access System being used by the City of Escondido was installed in the late 1990s to replace a keypad system that used the employee’s employee number plus an additional digit to provide automated access to some City facilities. It has been over 10 years since the system was updated and we are starting to see some issues as a result of this. We have experienced several card reader failures as well as a couple of controller failures. In addition to the aging hardware, the server that controls the system is on an old operating system and cannot be updated without upgrading the Access Control System software and likely several of the older controllers on the system. This puts the server at risk of failure due to running an outdated operating system and not receiving updated security updates from Microsoft. Upgrading to a new system would allow us to upgrade to a higher security card format that is much more difficult to duplicate or even to a different technology that uses NFC from your cell phone or biometrics for access.

This fund was established to account for revenue received from a gasoline excise tax of 18 cents per gallon of fuel under Sections 2105, 2106, 2107, and 2107.5 of the Streets and Highways Code. In July 2010, Proposition 42 funding, which was state sales tax on the sale of gasoline, was “swapped” for a gasoline excise tax under Section 2013 of the Streets and Highways Code. This amount is indexed annually by the California State Board of Equalization (BOE) in order to ensure the new excise tax keeps pace with the revenues that were expected from the sales tax on gasoline and changes the overall excise tax on gasoline on an annual basis. All resources are legally restricted for street-related expenditures within the public right-of-ways.
