AGENDA REPORT
DATE:May 21, 2024
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 2024112 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Approving a Memorandum of Understanding Between Community Action Partnership of Solano, Joint Powers Authority; Solano County; and the Cities of Benicia, Dixon, Fairfield, Rio Vista, Suisun City, Vacaville, and Vallejo for Cost Sharing Administrative Expenses RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Community Action Partnership of Solano, Joint Powers Authority (CAP Solano JPA, or JPA), is a countywide organization focused on collaboration and coordination of homeless services in Solano County. CAP Solano JPA seeks to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) from each participating jurisdiction to fund administrative personnel. Without dedicated administrative staff, the JPA is limited in capabilities for competitive grant writing, contract oversight, grant administration, and countywide service coordination.
DISCUSSION
In July of 1999, the Solano County Board of Supervisors established a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement called the Solano Safety Net Consortium. The agreement included the six cities of Benicia, Fairfield, Rio Vista, Suisun City, Vacaville, and Vallejo, as well as the County of Solano. The organization was established to provide:
oversight and coordination of homeless and safety net services; and to serve as the conduit for safety net funding; and
to administer such funds and make grants available to other nonprofit entities for the provision of services; and
to set policy and be the central agency for the oversight and technical assistance for the operation of homeless shelters, transitional housing, community action councils, and other safety net services; and
to undertake such other programs as the Board of Directors authorized.
Historically, the Board of Directors was comprised of administrative staff from each of the member jurisdictions. While successful in various facets of funding attainment, the Consortium lacked policy Packet Page 20 of 762

CAP Solano JPA seeks to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) from eachparticipating jurisdiction to fund administrative personnel. Without dedicated administrative staff, theJPA is limited in capabilities for competitive grant writing, contract oversight, grant administration, andcountywide service coordination.DISCUSSIONIn July of 1999, the Solano County Board of Supervisors established a Joint Exercise of PowersAgreement called the Solano Safety Net Consortium. The agreement included the six cities of Benicia,Fairfield, Rio Vista, Suisun City, Vacaville, and Vallejo, as well as the County of Solano. Theorganization was established to provide:oversight and coordination of homeless and safety net services; andto serve as the conduit for safety net funding; andto administer such funds and make grants available to other nonprofit entities for the provision ofservices; andto set policy and be the central agency for the oversight and technical assistance for the operationof homeless shelters, transitional housing, community action councils, and other safety netservices; andto undertake such other programs as the Board of Directors authorized.
Historically, the Board of Directors was comprised of administrative staff from each of the member jurisdictions. While successful in various facets of funding attainment, the Consortium lacked policy making authority within each respective jurisdiction.
In 2022, the organization was restructured to become the CAP Solano JPA and added the city of Dixon.
The newly formed Board of Directors is comprised of two members from each participating jurisdiction’s elected body. In this way, the JPA relies upon the Board of Directors to establish policy for the JPA, and influence coordination of countywide policy within each member jurisdiction.
Administrative Needs
Shortly after reforming the JPA, the Board of Directors undertook a strategic planning process to identify countywide homelessness and safety net service priorities. The Board also identified the need for administrative staff dedicated to the JPA as a priority. Historically, the JPA, and the Consortium before it, relied upon inkind staff support from member jurisdictions.
In June 2023, the Board asked the area City/County Manager’s group to review staffing options and make a recommendation to the Board. In August 2023, the Manager’s group presented the Board with a staffing plan that includes 6.5 fulltime equivalent (FTE) staff to be hired as County personnel and hired in a threephase transition. The positions identified include an Executive Director (1 FTE), Grants Manager (1 FTE), Homeless Coordinator (1FTE), Policy Manager (1FTE), and Fiscal Agents (2.5FTE).
The proposed MOU identifies the roles of each of the proposed 6.5 FTE. However, it is under the purview of the Executive Director position to modify job titles and/or descriptions, with Board approval, based on organizational need. This flexibility allows the Executive Director to identify administrative tasks and adapt staffing accordingly.
The MOU also identifies a threephased implementation plan for hiring staff. The first phase includes hiring the Executive Director, Grants Manager, and Homeless Coordinator. The second phase focuses on the Policy Manager, as required. And the third phase will hire staff necessary to transition the Fiscal Agent responsibilities from the City of Vacaville, who currently serves as the JPA’s fiscal agent.
While Vacaville serves as the Fiscal Agent, it is not fully compensated for the costs of providing service to the JPA. Therefore, the MOU allows Vacaville to receive future credit for inkind fiscal agent services after those duties transfer to the JPA. Since Vacaville is paying the JPA for administrative positions while concurrently providing inkind services, they are effectively paying more than their fair share of the administrative costs during transition.
Key Terms of MOU
The following lists key terms of the MOU for all participating jurisdictions:
Length of MOU is five years, with automatic renewal for another five years.
A member may terminate their participation in the MOU at any time by providing 360 days' written notice prior to the end of any fiscal year (effectively oneyears notice), or with 180 days’ notice prior to expiration of the initial term.
The County of Solano will serve as the staffing agency, with all employees being County employees. However, the personnel under the JPA will be directly responsible to the Board of Directors and not subject to oversight or direction from the County.
Each participating jurisdiction is required to identify their contributions within their budget and the JPA will invoice by July 31st of each year with a 60day payment window.
Funding Structure
To fund the administrative operational costs, each participating jurisdiction will be responsible for funding the JPA. After discussion and consideration of various funding formulas, the Board chose a populationbased funding formula. The formula works as follows:
First, any grant funds that provide administrative funds are used to cover administrative costs; and then, the County of Solano pays 25% of the total remaining administrative costs; and finally, each participating jurisdiction pays based on their population as a percentage of the total Packet Page 21 of 762

Without dedicated administrative staff, theJPA is limited in capabilities for competitive grant writing, contract oversight, grant administration, andcountywide service coordination.DISCUSSIONIn July of 1999, the Solano County Board of Supervisors established a Joint Exercise of PowersAgreement called the Solano Safety Net Consortium. The agreement included the six cities of Benicia,Fairfield, Rio Vista, Suisun City, Vacaville, and Vallejo, as well as the County of Solano. Theorganization was established to provide:oversight and coordination of homeless and safety net services; andto serve as the conduit for safety net funding; andto administer such funds and make grants available to other nonprofit entities for the provision ofservices; andto set policy and be the central agency for the oversight and technical assistance for the operationof homeless shelters, transitional housing, community action councils, and other safety netservices; andto undertake such other programs as the Board of Directors authorized.Historically, the Board of Directors was comprised of administrative staff from each of the memberjurisdictions. While successful in various facets of funding attainment, the Consortium lacked policymaking authority within each respective jurisdiction.In 2022, the organization was restructured to become the CAP Solano JPA and added the city of Dixon.The newly formed Board of Directors is comprised of two members from each participatingjurisdiction’s elected body. In this way, the JPA relies upon the Board of Directors to establish policy forthe JPA, and influence coordination of countywide policy within each member jurisdiction.Administrative NeedsShortly after reforming the JPA, the Board of Directors undertook a strategic planning process toidentify countywide homelessness and safety net service priorities. The Board also identified the needfor administrative staff dedicated to the JPA as a priority. Historically, the JPA, and the Consortiumbefore it, relied upon inkind staff support from member jurisdictions.In June 2023, the Board asked the area City/County Manager’s group to review staffing options andmake a recommendation to the Board. In August 2023, the Manager’s group presented the Board witha staffing plan that includes 6.5 fulltime equivalent (FTE) staff to be hired as County personnel andhired in a threephase transition. The positions identified include an Executive Director (1 FTE), GrantsManager (1 FTE), Homeless Coordinator (1FTE), Policy Manager (1FTE), and Fiscal Agents (2.5FTE).The proposed MOU identifies the roles of each of the proposed 6.5 FTE. However, it is under thepurview of the Executive Director position to modify job titles and/or descriptions, with Board approval,based on organizational need. This flexibility allows the Executive Director to identify administrativetasks and adapt staffing accordingly.The MOU also identifies a threephased implementation plan for hiring staff. The first phase includeshiring the Executive Director, Grants Manager, and Homeless Coordinator. The second phase focuseson the Policy Manager, as required. And the third phase will hire staff necessary to transition the FiscalAgent responsibilities from the City of Vacaville, who currently serves as the JPA’s fiscal agent.While Vacaville serves as the Fiscal Agent, it is not fully compensated for the costs of providing serviceto the JPA. Therefore, the MOU allows Vacaville to receive future credit for inkind fiscal agent servicesafter those duties transfer to the JPA. Since Vacaville is paying the JPA for administrative positionswhile concurrently providing inkind services, they are effectively paying more than their fair share of theadministrative costs during transition.Key Terms of MOUThe following lists key terms of the MOU for all participating jurisdictions:Length of MOU is five years, with automatic renewal for another five years.A member may terminate their participation in the MOU at any time by providing 360 days' writtennotice prior to the end of any fiscal year (effectively oneyears notice), or with 180 days’ noticeprior to expiration of the initial term.The County of Solano will serve as the staffing agency, with all employees being Countyemployees. However, the personnel under the JPA will be directly responsible to the Board ofDirectors and not subject to oversight or direction from the County.Each participating jurisdiction is required to identify their contributions within their budget and theJPA will invoice by July 31st of each year with a 60day payment window.Funding StructureTo fund the administrative operational costs, each participating jurisdiction will be responsible forfunding the JPA. After discussion and consideration of various funding formulas, the Board chose apopulationbased funding formula. The formula works as follows:
First, any grant funds that provide administrative funds are used to cover administrative costs; and then, the County of Solano pays 25% of the total remaining administrative costs; and finally, each participating jurisdiction pays based on their population as a percentage of the total county population.
The goal of the JPA is to selffund through successful grant funding. As more grant funds are obtained through successful coordination at the JPA, the less funding should be required from the JPA member agencies. Additionally, a joint funding request was submitted to Senator Bill Dodd and Assemblymember Lori Wilson’s offices to cover four years of costs. If funded, this would allow an acceleration of transition to JPA staffing by providing the monies necessary without each member jurisdiction required to pay at startup.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Fairfield’s estimated costs for participation in the JPA is outlined in the following table:
FY2425 FY2526 FY2627 FY2728 4Yr. Total
Fairfield $81,315 $98,988 $119,070 $144,536 $443,909
It should be noted that when the JPA Board approved the MOU, the City of Dixon was the sole no vote.
Their justification was that they were originally told that the JPA would not have any costs to the participating cities. Staff recommends providing the city manager with authorization to cover the additional costs should Dixon back out of the JPA. Dixon’s initial 4year portion of the total estimated costs are $70,631. With Fairfield representing 28.08% of the total county population, Fairfield’s additional share is estimated at $19,833. The proposed resolution provides additional authorization to the city manager to amend the MOU language should Dixon back out.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
The MOU was considered and approved by the CAP Solano JPA at their public board meeting on March 28, 2024, held at the County Events Center, Conference Room A, located at 601 West Texas St., Fairfield, CA 94533.
City Council received a presentation and provided direction with unanimous support for the funding methodology and general concepts of the MOU at their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, October 17, 2023.

FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 2024114 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Grant Agreement Between the Solano Transportation Authority and the City of Fairfield for Solano Safe Routes to School Funds RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The proposed resolution would authorize the city manager to execute a grant agreement totaling $30,000 between the Solano Transportation Authority (STA) and the City of Fairfield to fund crosswalk and signage improvements near schools.
DISCUSSION
Since 2019, the Solano Safe Routes to School (SR2S) MicroGrant Program has funded smallscale bike and pedestrian improvement projects to encourage more walking and biking to schools in Solano County. This year, Cycle 3 of the SR2S MicroGrant program offers a total of $212,172 in funding available to Solano County cities, school districts, schools, and communitybased organizations. The Solano SR2S MicroGrant is easily implemented.
Public Works Traffic Engineering (Traffic) staff leads the 3E Committee (Engineering, Education, and Enforcement), comprised of representatives from City Public Works and Police Department staff, FairfieldSuisun Unified School District (FSUSD), and STA. The 3E Committee meets quarterly to discuss current localized safety improvement projects near schools. Furthermore, the Committee encourages walking and biking throughout the city, and addresses traffic concerns and issues around school traffic, circulation, and pedestrian safety. Every year, Traffic staff hold a Walk Audit at various Fairfield schools, alternating between elementary, middle and high schools. The annual School Walk Audit helps Traffic staff assess and better understand current circulation trends during school pick up and drop off hours, and identify nearterm improvements that would improve circulation and education.
Over the past three years, Traffic staff have installed high visibility improvements around schools, including crosswalk improvements, permanent signage, striping, and installation of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) to enhance pedestrian visibility and safety. Traffic staff have also Packet Page 50 of 762

Traffic staff have also coordinated with the Police Department to enforce these traffic devices.
Entering into a grant agreement with the STA will provide critical financial assistance to the Traffic staff’s commitment to improving collaboration with major community stakeholders, and improving pedestrian and bicyclist safety near schools. Following the 3E Committee’s first quarterly meeting in January, Traffic staff identified priority improvements to be made with the available budget. Among this list of priorities was the installation of RRFBs at elementary schools that do not yet have an RRFB, and updating crosswalks with bright yellow ladder details to improve pedestrian visibility. While assessing student paths near elementary schools, Traffic staff identified an opportunity to install new ADA ramps on each side of Cement Hill, a crosswalk, and RRFBs to further improve pedestrian visibility and connectivity. The SR2S MicroGrant funds will support the installation of permanent signage, RRFBs and yellow ladder detail at four crosswalks for safer pedestrian crossings, and fill the pedestrian trail gap along the Laurel Creek Park Trail.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City anticipates receiving up to $30,000 from the Solano SR2S MicroGrant for pedestrian crosswalk and signage improvements. The program requires no local match. The City is providing in kind services for the installation of improvements in support of the SR2S program. There is no impact on the General Fund.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
At the first quarterly 3E Committee meeting on January 23, 2024, representatives from the STA announced the release of Cycle 3 of the SR2S MicroGrant, with a total of $217,172 available for small scale infrastructure or programmatic improvements intended increase walking and bicycling near schools. STA representatives have also participated in the annual School Walk Audits, and recommended that City staff apply for the Solano SR2S MicroGrant funds to help City staff complete improvements and offset the City’s expenditures.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose not to enter into a grant agreement with the STA to accept SR2S MicroGrant funds. However, not entering into this agreement would relinquish the $30,000 award, resulting in the City identifying alternative funds to cover the improvement projects near Fairfield schools.

Every year, Traffic staff hold a Walk Audit at variousFairfield schools, alternating between elementary, middle and high schools. The annual School WalkAudit helps Traffic staff assess and better understand current circulation trends during school pick upand drop off hours, and identify nearterm improvements that would improve circulation and education.Over the past three years, Traffic staff have installed high visibility improvements around schools,including crosswalk improvements, permanent signage, striping, and installation of Rectangular RapidFlashing Beacons (RRFBs) to enhance pedestrian visibility and safety. Traffic staff have alsocoordinated with the Police Department to enforce these traffic devices. Entering into a grant agreement with the STA will provide critical financial assistance to the Traffic staff’scommitment to improving collaboration with major community stakeholders, and improving pedestrianand bicyclist safety near schools. Following the 3E Committee’s first quarterly meeting in January,Traffic staff identified priority improvements to be made with the available budget. Among this list ofpriorities was the installation of RRFBs at elementary schools that do not yet have an RRFB, andupdating crosswalks with bright yellow ladder details to improve pedestrian visibility. While assessingstudent paths near elementary schools, Traffic staff identified an opportunity to install new ADA rampson each side of Cement Hill, a crosswalk, and RRFBs to further improve pedestrian visibility andconnectivity. The SR2S MicroGrant funds will support the installation of permanent signage, RRFBsand yellow ladder detail at four crosswalks for safer pedestrian crossings, and fill the pedestrian trailgap along the Laurel Creek Park Trail.FINANCIAL IMPACTThe City anticipates receiving up to $30,000 from the Solano SR2S MicroGrant for pedestriancrosswalk and signage improvements. The program requires no local match. The City is providing inkind services for the installation of improvements in support of the SR2S program. There is no impacton the General Fund.PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATIONAt the first quarterly 3E Committee meeting on January 23, 2024, representatives from the STAannounced the release of Cycle 3 of the SR2S MicroGrant, with a total of $217,172 available for smallscale infrastructure or programmatic improvements intended increase walking and bicycling nearschools. STA representatives have also participated in the annual School Walk Audits, andrecommended that City staff apply for the Solano SR2S MicroGrant funds to help City staff completeimprovements and offset the City’s expenditures.ALTERNATIVE ACTIONThe council may choose not to enter into a grant agreement with the STA to accept SR2S MicroGrantfunds. However, not entering into this agreement would relinquish the $30,000 award, resulting in theCity identifying alternative funds to cover the improvement projects near Fairfield schools.STAFF CONTACTTina Machado, Transportation Planner II(707) 434[email protected] WITHCity Attorney's Office, Police DepartmentATTACHMENTS:DescriptionAttachment 1: Proposed ResolutionAttachment 2: Proposed AgreementAttachment 3: Exhibit AREVIEWERS:

AGENDA REPORT
DATE:May 21, 2024
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 2024115 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Authorizing the Acceptance of the Fiscal Year 20232024 Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) Grant Allocations from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund for Electric Infrastructure Upgrades at the Fairfield Corporation Yard RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City will receive $700,523 from Senate Bill (SB) 862 funding through the Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP). This resolution authorizes the submission of a grant allocation request for the electric infrastructure upgrades at the Fairfield Corporation Yard (Project) and approves the acceptance of fiscal year (FY) 20232024 LCTOP grant funds.
DISCUSSION
The LCTOP is one of several programs that are part of the Transit, Affordable Housing, and Sustainable Communities Program established by the California Legislature in 2014 by SB 862. The LCTOP was created to provide operating and capital assistance for transit agencies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve mobility. Through LCTOP, the City of Fairfield is allocated $40,745 in revenue based funding and $309,097 in populationbased funding for FY 20232024. The cities of Vacaville, Dixon, and Rio Vista also receive LCTOP funding, but do not have an identified LCTOP project. To ensure their LCTOP funding is used for a Solano County project, these jurisdictions have chosen to swap their allocation of FY 20232024 LCTOP revenue and populationbased funding for an equal amount of City of Fairfield Transportation Development Act funds. This will allow all agencies to advance various projects. The specifics of the swaps are outlined below:
The City of Vacaville will swap revenuebased allocations totaling $7,294 and populationbased allocations of $263,977.
The City of Dixon will swap revenuebased allocations totaling $2,243 and populationbased funds of $49,582.
The City of Rio Vista will swap revenuebased allocations totaling $713 and populationbased funds of $26,872.

The City of Rio Vista will swap revenuebased allocations totaling $713 and populationbased funds of $26,872.
FAST will receive a total of $700,523 ($50,995 in revenuebased funds and $649,528 in population based funds).
FAST plans to rollover LCTOP funds for four years, starting in FY 20232024. Accumulating these funds for four years will allow FAST to use the monies to supplement funding and construction of electrical infrastructure upgrades at the City’s Corporation Yard. Constructing these new proposed improvements over the next few years allows FAST to make progress towards meeting the California Air Resources Board’s Innovative Clean Transit regulation that all transit fleets be converted to electric by 2040.
LCTOP funds can also be used to leverage federal funding opportunities for electrification.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
FAST anticipates receiving a total of $700,523 in programmed LCTOP funding for the Corporation Yard Electric Infrastructure Upgrade Project. This funding requires no local match. All operating and capital expenses for FAST are supported with local, state, and federal transportation grant funds. There is no impact to the City's general fund.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
N/A
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose not to claim the $700,523 in LCTOP funding for the design and construction of the electrical upgrade project at the City’s Corporation Yard. However, not claiming this funding would result in FAST needing to obtain additional funding to support the electrification of the transit fleet.
Unclaimed LCTOP funding will be reallocated by the Solano Transportation Authority and Metropolitan Transportation Commission to other transportation agencies in the region.

FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolutions 2024116 through 2024120 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 3 to Extend the Terms of the Design Service Agreements for OnCall Engineering Services for Capital Improvement Projects between the City of Fairfield and Bennett Engineering Services, Inc., Coastland Civil Engineering, Inc., DKS Associates, KimleyHorn and Associates, Inc., and West Yost Associates
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolutions.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Bennett Engineering Services, Inc. (Bennett), Coastland Civil Engineering, Inc. (Coastland), DKS Associates (DKS), KimleyHorn and Associates (KHA), and West Yost Associates (West Yost) have been providing design and engineering services for multiple Capital Improvement Projects. The Design Services Agreements for OnCall Engineering Services for Capital Improvements Projects (OnCall Agreements) between the City of Fairfield and Bennett, Coastland, DKS, KHA, and West Yost expired on April 22, 2024. There are tasks still remaining under the contract that need to be completed by the designated consultants. Adopting the five proposed resolutions will authorize the city manager to execute Amendment No. 3 extending the term of the five OnCall Agreements through December 31, 2024, or until the scope of work for any task that is still in progress and approved prior to April 22, 2024, is complete.
DISCUSSION
On April 16, 2019, the council approved Resolution Nos. 201976 through 201981 authorizing the city manager to execute the OnCall Agreements between the City of Fairfield and Bennett, Coastland, DKS, KHA, and West Yost for a threeyear period. These resolutions authorized the city manager to execute amendments for two oneyear extensions upon mutual agreement of both parties.
The term of the extensions to the OnCall Agreements ended on April 22, 2024. At the time of expiration, approximately 17 task orders were still in progress for the engineering and technical services of projects currently programmed within the Capital Improvement Program budget.

At the time of expiration, approximately 17 task orders were still in progress for the engineering and technical services of projects currently programmed within the Capital Improvement Program budget.
In order to complete the existing task orders and not cause a delay in the design and construction timelines of the capital improvement projects, staff is requesting that the council authorize the city manager to execute an amendment to the agreement terms extending through December 31, 2024, or until the scope of work for all task orders approved prior to April 22, 2024, are complete.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The recommended action will not authorize any additional funding beyond what has already been approved within the task orders prior to April 22, 2024. All costs associated with the task orders approved prior to April 22, 2024 have been budgeted within the Capital Improvement Program budget.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
N/A
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
If the council has any questions, this request may be delayed so that staff can provide necessary backup. The council could choose not to approve the proposed amendment, or approve certain amendments and deny others. However, this would not be recommended, as this would cause a delay on priority work programmed within the Capital budget.

SUBJECT:Resolution 2024121 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement between the City of Fairfield and West Yost Associates for OnCall Water System Geographic Information System Updates and Hydraulic Modeling Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The proposed professional services agreement will provide for oncall technical engineering assistance related to the City’s water distribution system, including Geographic Information System (GIS) updates and hydraulic modeling services.
DISCUSSION
GIS data, mapping, and hydraulic modeling have become critical components to the planning and operation of the City’s water system. This includes the City’s distribution system pipelines, valves, hydrants, hydrant laterals, and pressure zones. West Yost Associates (West Yost) has been regularly updating the GIS information as new development projects (i.e., subdivisions) are connected to the City’s water system, and performing hydraulic modeling activities at the request of City staff. The water system hydraulic model, which was developed by West Yost, is a valuable tool that has been used to perform water system planning and evaluation of operational scenarios to assist staff in more efficiently prioritizing capital expenditures and operational changes. The model is also used as a tool to aid fire flow evaluation throughout the water system. Because of the City’s reliance on GIS data, the water utility has significantly increased demand for GIS services. Staff continues to identify areas to expand or improve its GIS data and find new approaches to using the information.
Solely using consultants for GIS and modeling services drastically limits the opportunities for the water utility to advance its GIS initiatives. To support this demand, staff retained a GIS position that is internal to the water utility to maintain the water layer. This addition will allow for more frequent updates to the GIS waterrelated layers and will also allow West Yost to focus its resources on more frequent model updates of the water system and other modeling activities. Water modeling is a complex task that Packet Page 89 of 762

This addition will allow for more frequent updates to the GIS waterrelated layers and will also allow West Yost to focus its resources on more frequent model updates of the water system and other modeling activities. Water modeling is a complex task that requires extensive expertise and will continue to be performed by West Yost, which has numerous specialized hydraulic engineers on staff. West Yost will continue to work in coordination with City staff, as the integrity between the water layer data and the hydraulic model must be maintained.
Staff recommends entering into a five year agreement with West Yost to provide oncall water system GIS updates and hydraulic modeling services, beginning on July 1, 2024.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total authorization for this agreement is $625,000. Funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 20242025 were accounted for in the approved FY 20232024 and FY 20242025 budget in the Water Enterprise Fund (Fund 461). Additionally, the Fire Department will request that the consultant model fire flow simulations in the hydraulic model on occasion. The cost for these intermittent requests is accounted for in the approved twoyear FY 20232024 and FY 20242025 budget in the General Fund, Fire Prevention (Fund 101), and is considered in the agreement’s nottoexceed amount of $625,000. The latter years of the agreement will be budgeted in the corresponding twoyear budget cycles.

Updates to water system facilities such as pump stations, valve vaults, storage reservoirs, or water treatment plants;
Changes to the alignment of pipelines and valves in the water distribution system to match plan sets or field observations by City staff; and
Adding water system facilities (pipelines, valves, hydrants, etc.) associated with new residential, commercial, or other development projects that have recently connected to the West Yost will also provide coordination for routine data transfer to and from the IT Department via the periodically to reflect changes. It
is assumed that the frequency for the water system GIS updates will be bimonthly. Based on discussions with City staff, the budget associated with updat is expected to decrease over time as City staff perform the water system GIS updates directly. West Yost will assist with this transition as part of this task. Any unused budget within this task can be used for other tasks or to provide City staff with additional support for specific GIS updates when necessary.

TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 2024122 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Approving Plans and Specifications and Awarding a Contract to R + R Pacific Construction for the Allan Witt Community Park Phase 3 All Inclusive Playground Project RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
As a part of the Community Spaces Initiative’s fiveyear implementation plan, the proposed project will construct a new allinclusive playground with restrooms at the Allan Witt Community Park. This resolution approves the plans and specifications for Allan Witt Community Park Phase 3 All Inclusive Playground Project (Project), and awards a contract in the amount of $5,699,155.96 to R + R Pacific Construction of Woodland, California.
DISCUSSION
In March 2018, the council approved the conceptual master plan to renovate Allan Witt Community Park.
Based on the planned improvements, full buildout of the plan requires multiple phases over multiple years to match available funding. The initial improvements, known as the Allan Witt Community Park Phase 1 Skate Park Improvements, and Phase 2 Dog Park Project, were prioritized to create significant changes in areas of the park where undesirable activities were occurring to create new, positive, communityoriented spaces. These improvements were accepted as complete in September 2021. The Project is the next phase, which will continue to create significant changes to the park and activate it in a positive way.
The proposed Project redevelops approximately three acres of the park and is located to the east of the aquatics center and south of the dog park. Proposed improvements include installation of drainage, water, sewer and electrical utilities, concrete pathways, asphalt road and parking lot, picnic areas, shade shelters, gateway entry arch, play equipment, decomposed granite paving, ramps, prefabricated restroom building, retaining walls, fencing, landscaping, and irrigation.
Construction is slated to begin after the Juneteenth event scheduled at Allan Witt Community Park.

Construction is slated to begin after the Juneteenth event scheduled at Allan Witt Community Park.
Once construction has commenced, the construction area will be delineated with construction fencing prohibiting public access for the duration of the Project. Staff will provide Project updates during construction at major milestone events. Construction is anticipated to be completed summer 2025, weather permitting and no delays in manufacturing of longer lead time items.
Bids for the Project were opened on April 16, 2024. Three bids were received and ranged in price from $5,699,155.96 to $6,269,491.46. The Engineer’s Estimate is $5,365,000.00. The low bidder is R + R Pacific Construction of Woodland, California.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The construction authorization for this Project will be $6,269,072, which is the total bid amount plus 10% contingency ($5,699,155.96 contract + $569,916.04 contingency). Funding for this Project is captured in Project No. CPW050085. Project funds include $1,100,000 in state grant funding through the California Department of Parks and Recreation, and the remaining amount of $5,169,072 is covered through local funding utilizing AB 1600 Parks Fund (Fund 263).
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
A notice inviting bids was advertised twice in the Daily Republic on March 1, 2024, and March 8, 2024.
In addition, the Plans and Specifications were hosted through BPX Printing & Graphics online Planroom. The initial advertisement emailed a notice of the Project and complete bid package to a total of 17 builder’s exchanges in the State of California covering the area from Redding to San Jose and Stockton to Santa Rosa.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose to reject all bids, however, this is not recommended because this may result in losing grant funding. The state grant stipulates construction should be completed by June 30, 2026.
Because construction is weather dependent, delaying approval will have negative impacts to the schedule.

TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 2024123 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Declaring Its Intention to Annex Territory (Woolner Avenue by SolanoNapa Habitat for Humanity) to Community Facilities District No. 20122 and Authorizing the Levy of Special Taxes Therein for Annexation No. 68
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The adoption of the attached resolution will begin the proceedings for the annexation of certain property, known as Woolner Avenue by SolanoNapa Habitat for Humanity, to Community Facilities District 2012 2 (CFD 20122). CFD 20122 was established as an annexable district to provide funding to offset the increased cost for public safety services, open space operation, and park maintenance created by new development.
DISCUSSION
By Resolution No. 2012233, the City Council established CFD 20122, a MelloRoos community facilities district, with the intention that future development within the City of Fairfield would annex to this district. The special taxes collected from the property owners within the district are used to fund public safety services, open space operation, and park maintenance.
The property proposed for annexation is owned by SolanoNapa Habitat for Humanity, and is located south of Woolner Avenue and west of Columbus Drive within the boundary of assessor’s parcel numbers (APNs) 0028280210 and 0028280300, as depicted on Exhibit A. The development on the property will be three singlefamily homes. Development of this property will change the property’s characteristics and manner in which the property will be used, thereby creating a need for more services funded by CFD 20122.
The City contracts with Willdan Financial Services for the preparation of the necessary resolutions and balloting procedures for the annexation process.

This process is a specialty service that the City has contracted out since 1995, on an individual consultant services basis for each development requiring annexation into a MelloRoos community facilities district.
The council declared its intention to annex this property to CFD 20122 on June 6, 2023, with the adoption of Resolution 2023133. However, the annexation process was delayed at the property owner’s request to allow the property owner time to understand the annexation requirements. Since the council took no further action and a public hearing regarding the annexation of this territory was not conducted in accordance with Government Code Section 53339, et al., the annexation process must be restarted.
Adoption of the Resolution of Intention is the first step to annex this property to CFD 20122. This will be the 68th annexation to the district. The resolution also establishes July 2, 2024, as the public hearing date for the final consideration of the annexation of the property to CFD 20122. Once the annexation is complete, the property owners will be required to pay annual special taxes for the property beginning in Fiscal Year (FY) 20252026, as itemized on their property tax bill in accordance with the rate set forth in the CFD 20122 Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax.
The CFD 20122 Rate and Method of Apportionment was established as part of the formation of the district and fixed FY 20122013 as the base year for the annual special tax rate as shown in Exhibit B.
Since the formation, assessments have increased based on a cost inflator allowed in the original formation documents. Exhibit C shows the current special tax rate for the district.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The anticipated annual revenue to be received by the City (CFD 20122 Fund 332) for this annexation is estimated to be $3,211.41, which is based on the FY 20242025 maximum special tax rate for singlefamily residential property. The CFD 20122 maximum special tax rates include an automatic annual consumer price index (CPI) adjustment. This development may qualify for a special tax exemption as an affordable residential property as defined by the CFD 20122 Rate and Method of Apportionment. A special tax exemption will be applied upon the verification by the City of the affordable housing status for this development. The process for the annexation is funded by the developer, and no General Fund monies are used for this effort.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE:May 21, 2024
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Proposed Updated Recommendations to Ordinance 202004 for the Use of Electric Bikes (Ebikes) at Rockville Hills Regional Park
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive report, open discussion, and provide direction to staff.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City Council established the Rockville Citizens Advisory Committee (RCAC) and RCAC Guidelines by Resolution No. 2007319 in November 2007. The RCAC’s purpose is to assist the City in making major decisions that affect the Rockville Hills Regional Park (Park). In early 2023, the council requested RCAC to provide a recommendation regarding the use of electric bikes (ebikes) in the Park.
DISCUSSION
The 633acre Park is located on Rockville Road west of Suisun Valley Road. The Park serves a variety of local and visiting users, including walkers, hikers, runners, bicyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts.
Additionally, the Park serves as an educational oasis, often hosting a variety of students and youth organizations.
Due to the delicate nature of the singletrack trail systems in the Park that created unsafe conditions for fellow trail users, in March of 2020, the council authorized an update to amend Chapter 12B (Parks and Recreation) of the Fairfield Municipal Code to prohibit the riding or operating of ebikes in the Park.
In early 2023, the council requested RCAC to revisit the use of ebikes in the Park based on increased interest and advocacy from some residents and park users. Though RCAC historically meets quarterly, special meetings were held to start discussions towards developing a recommendation.
The following efforts assisted RCAC in formulating their recommendation, though RCAC welcomes discussion with council to fully formulate their final recommendation:
Creating and distributing a park user preference survey, with an emphasis on questions regarding allowing ebike usage.
o Nearly 1,400 responses, which are summarized in the findings in Attachment 2.

o Nearly 1,400 responses, which are summarized in the findings in Attachment 2.
Interviews with directors from Skyline Wilderness Park (Napa County) and East Bay Regional Park District (Alameda and Contra Costa Counties) to understand expected vs. actual impact. o Both organizations currently allow Class 1 ebikes in their parks.
Listened to community comments during RCAC meetings.
Significant dialog amongst the sevenmember committee.
RCAC Recommendation:
Allow use of Class 1 ebikes contingent on the following three requirements:
1. Increased staffing
2. Volunteerism
3. Increased Park entrance fees
Additionally, RCAC also recommends a sixmonth impact assessment to address the following:
1. Trail Maintenance
2. Safety
3. Parking
4. Progress on volunteerism and staffing
Staff Response to RCAC Recommendations:
Two possible funding sources to support additional resources and staffing requests have been identified:
1. Increase Park user fees.
•Staff did not include an increased park user fee during the current Citywide fee update. The preference was to defer pending discussion with RCAC.
2. Creation of a new/replacement Community Facilities District (CFD) to allow CFD revenues to be used for Park maintenance, including staff.
•This measure would require a vote of registered voters.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Currently, there are no budgeted recommendations, and therefore, no anticipated financial impacts.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
Community engagement was conducted at a variety of touchpoints, including a visitor survey, and presentations from two other entities.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Staff is seeking council direction. The council may also choose not to act at this time.
