The costs of the change proceedings were paid by One Lake Holding LLC, the current master developer of the One Lake Project.
The proposed bonds to be issued by the City for the CFD with respect to Improvement Area No. 1 will be payable only from special taxes levied in Improvement Area No. 1, and the costs of issuing the bonds will be paid from bond proceeds.

The City Council approved the 5th Amendment on September 3, 2024. The change proceedings approved by the City Council on October 15, 2024 implement the 5th Amendment. The proposed ordinance levies special taxes consistent with the change proceedings. The City Council could choose not to adopt the ordinance, but that choice would not be consistent with its actions on October 15, 2024.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The ordinance levies the special taxes approved by the landowner electors and the City Council on October 15, 2024.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE:November 19, 2024
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 2024265 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Approving the Plans and Specifications and Awarding a Contract to C. Overaa & Co. for the Waterman Water Treatment Plant High Lift Pump and Power Upgrade Project; and Resolution 2024266 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement for Coastland Civil Engineering, LLP to Provide Engineering Services During Construction for the Waterman Water Treatment Plant High Lift Pump and Power Upgrade Project RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolutions.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The high lift pump station at the Waterman Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) contains aging hydraulic and electrical equipment that has exceeded their service life and requires replacement. The Waterman Water Treatment Plant High Lift and Power Upgrade Project (Project) will upgrade the high lift pump station pump and electrical system. Adoption of the two proposed resolutions will approve the plans and specifications for the Project, awarding a contract in the amount of $5,497,000 to C. Overaa & Co. (Overaa) of Richmond, California, and approve a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Coastland Civil Engineering, LLP (Coastland) to provide technical engineering assistance during the construction phase of the Project for a not to exceed amount of $267,019.
DISCUSSION
The WWTP was constructed in 1974 and has had numerous projects to upgrade equipment and improve reliability. The high lift pump station located at the WWTP is used to pump water to the western portion of Fairfield. Electrical components and pumping equipment within the pump station show signs of aging from the routine wearandtear and are due for replacement in order to maintain and safely operate the WWTP.
The Project involves substantial upgrades to the high lift pump station, which includes replacing the existing five turbine pumps, incorporating an emergency backup generator, overhauling the electrical Packet Page 88 of 401

The high lift pump station located at the WWTP is used to pump water to the westernportion of Fairfield. Electrical components and pumping equipment within the pump station show signsof aging from the routine wearandtear and are due for replacement in order to maintain and safelyoperate the WWTP.
The Project involves substantial upgrades to the high lift pump station, which includes replacing the existing five turbine pumps, incorporating an emergency backup generator, overhauling the electrical service from 4160 volts to the current 480 volts standard, and installing the new City prepurchased electrical main switchboard with solar breaker for future solar interconnection, manual transfer switch (MTS) and power distribution panel.
Once completed, the Project will improve operational reliability through the incorporation of an emergency backup generator for potential power outage events, which have become increasingly more frequent during fire season as part of Pacific Gas and Electric’s Public Safety Power Shutoff, and will provide a connection point for the upcoming solar field project to help counteract rising energy cost.
Six bids were received and opened on September 24, 2024. The Engineer’s Estimate was $6,628,000 and the apparent low bidder was Overaa in the amount of $5,497,000. Staff has reviewed the bid submitted by Overaa and determined that it is responsive and meets all bid requirements. Overaa and their subcontractors are appropriately licensed and have completed projects of similar size and complexity for other municipal agencies. Staff recommends awarding the Project to Overaa with a 20% contingency authorization due to the specialized nature of work that is not commonly performed in the City.
Staff have contracted with Coastland design services through a task order pursuant to Resolution No. 202089. Coastland staff have been highly responsive and have delivered highquality work for the design phase of this Project. The bids for the Project were very close and competitive, which is indicative of wellprepared design drawings and bid documents. Therefore, staff recommends approving a new PSA with Coastland to provide engineering services during construction of the Project for a total not to exceed cost of $267,019.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The construction authorization for this Project will be $6,596,400, which is the total bid amount plus a 20% contingency ($5,497,000 total bid + $1,099,400 contingency). Authorization for the PSA with Coastland is for an amount of $293,721, which includes a 10% management reserve ($267,019 contract + $26,702 contingency). Funding for this Project and PSA is captured in the Capital Improvement Program through the Capital Water Fund (Fund 462 Project No. CPW090041).
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
N/A
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose to reject all bids, but this is not recommended as delaying the award would have a determinantal impact on the Project construction schedule and would also delay the Solar Field Project schedule, which puts the WWTP at risk of not meeting the Net Energy Metering (NEM) 2 deadline.

Subject: Waterman Water Treatment Plant (WTP) High Lift Pump and Power Upgrade Project – Proposal for Construction Support Assistance
Dear Mr. Panganiban,
We are providing this letter proposal in response to David Vong’s request for our team to provide limited Construction Support Assistance for the subject project. The following outlines our understanding of the project scope of services and fee.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
We understand and appreciate the importance of construction support. Due to the highly technical nature of this project, construction support from the design team will be key. Our intention is to be an extension of City staff, providing construction support assistance on an as-needed basis.
Based on our experience, we assume that the City will handle the construction management and only need Coastland | DCCM for limited construction support assistance. We will be available to assist the City staff in answering any requests for information (RFI’s) by the contractor. During construction, Coastland | DCCM and our team of subconsultants will provide the support services on an as requested basis. We have assumed that this will include Coastland | DCCM assisting the City with answering up to fifteen (15) Request for Information (RFI’s) and the review of up to fifteen (15) civil related submittals . ATEEM has allowed for review of up to forty (40) electrical and instrumentation related contractor submittals.
Our subconsultant, KPFF will provide review of the project”s structural shop drawings and calculations. We anticipate review will be required for seismic anchoring of the new switchboards and electric panels structural metal reinforcements related to the two wall openings for the electrical building, generator pad steel and concrete, CMU retaining wall, material shop drawings for generator anchorage, new pump concrete support curbs and pump anchor bolt repairs. This proposal allows for two (2) site visits for KPFF staff for special inspections of the retaining wall and the generator pad during construction and (1) site visit by BSK, our geotechnical engineering subconsultant, during these activities.
ATEEM has included two (2) in person project meetings and twenty (20) virtual meetings during construction, four (4) days for offsite PLC/MCC factory test witnessing and three (3) days for field observation to generate an electrical corrective items list.
EXHIBIT “A”

Ryan Panganiban PE
In order to provide the requested construction support services, we will need to amend our existing subconsultant agreements with ATEEM and KPFF. KPFF’s fee request for their added services has been added to our attached fee estimate. Please see the attached separate ATEEM proposal letter dated 6/21/2024 for their limited electrical related construction support services scope of work and their attached fee spread sheet. Coastland | DCCM will provide project management for the City requested construction support work.
The Coastland | DCCM team will prepare record drawings at the conclusion of the project based on red- line “as-builts” submitted by the City inspector and/or contractor. Record drawings will be submitted to the City in both AutoCAD and PDF electronic formats, but we have assumed no mylar copies will need to be provided.
PROJECT FEE
Based upon the above scope of services, we propose to provide our team’s professional bidding and construction services on an hourly rate, not to exceed basis. The fee for these services is for a total not-to- exceed budget in the amount of $267,019. The construction support services are described above and as shown in the attached Work Estimate and the attached ATEEM proposal letter and spread sheet .
SCHEDULE
Our services for the construction support services will be provided on an as requested basis. Our team is prepared to provide these services as soon as we receive the City’s written approval of this proposal and a written notice to proceed. For your information Hugh Miles will be taking over this project from Ken when he retires in early September of this year.
Thank you for the opportunity you have given Coastland | DCCM to continue assisting the City on this very important project. If you have any questions regarding the contents of this proposal, please feel free to call Ken at (707) 702-1963 or Hugh Miles at (707) 806-3127.

a) If AGREEMENT is an agreement for design professional services subject to California Civil Code § 2782.8(a) and CONSULTANT is a design professional, as defined in California Civil Code § 2782.8(c)(2), to the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CITY and its elected officials, officers, agents, employees and designated volunteers (collectively “CITY Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs, to the extent they arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT’s duty to defend shall consist of reimbursement of defense costs incurred by CITY in direct proportion to the CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault. CONSULTANT’s percentage of fault shall be determined, as applicable, by a court of law, jury or arbitrator. In the event any loss, liability or damage is incurred by way of settlement or resolution without a court, jury or arbitrator having made a determination of the CONSULTANT’s percentage of fault, the parties agree to mediation with a third party neutral to determine the CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault for purposes of determining the amount of indemnity and defense cost reimbursement owed to the CITY.
b) If AGREEMENT is not an agreement for design professional services subject to California Civil Code § 2782.8(a) or CONSULTANT is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code § 2782.8(c)(2), to the fullest extent allowed by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the CITY Indemnitees from all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra-hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by CONSULTANT or any person directly or indirectly employed by or acting as agent for CONSULTANT in the performance of this Agreement, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the CITY Indemnitees.
It is understood that the duty of CONSULTANT to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code.
Acceptance of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve CONSULTANT from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply whether or not such insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any such damages or claims for damages.
CONSULTANT’S responsibility for such defense and indemnity shall survive termination or completion of this agreement for the full period of time allowed by law. 11) PROHIBITED INTERESTS. No employee of the CITY shall have any direct financial interest in this agreement. This agreement shall be voidable at the option of the CITY if this provision is violated.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE:November 19, 2024
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 2024267 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Authorizing a Professional Services Agreement with West Yost Associates to Update the City’s Water System Risk and Resiliency Assessment and Water System Emergency Response Plan
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City of Fairfield is required to perform a water system Risk and Resiliency Assessment (RRA) and subsequent Emergency Response Plan (ERP) to remain compliant with federal law. Every five years, the City must perform an update to the RRA and ERP. City Council approval of the attached resolution will authorize the city manager to execute an agreement with West Yost Associates (West Yost) to update and revise the RRA and ERP for the water system.
DISCUSSION
On October 23, 2018, America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (AWIA) was signed into law to improve drinking water and water quality, deepen infrastructure investment, enhance public health and quality of life, increases jobs, and develop strategies to improve cybersecurity. AWIA requires that all community drinking water systems serving more than 3,300 people develop or update an RRA and subsequently prepare or revise an ERP. The law specifies topics that must be addressed in addition to establishing deadlines based on the number of customers being served by the water utility. Every five years, Fairfield Municipal Utility (FMU) must submit certification statements to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stating they are in compliance with AWIA.
On August 20, 2019, the council adopted Resolution No. 2019198 authorizing West Yost to provide engineering services for the preparation of an initial water system RRA in addition to a revised ERP.
This included assessing the impact of possible terrorist threats, natural disasters, major system failures or accidents through a detailed review of City facilities, cybersecurity, business practices and overall operations. There have been numerous updates to cybersecurity and water industry standards since FMU last completed AWIA compliance efforts. In addition, the EPA has revised their approach to Packet Page 110 of 401

City Council approval of the attached resolutionwill authorize the city manager to execute an agreement with West Yost Associates (West Yost) toupdate and revise the RRA and ERP for the water system.DISCUSSIONOn October 23, 2018, America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (AWIA) was signed into law toimprove drinking water and water quality, deepen infrastructure investment, enhance public health andquality of life, increases jobs, and develop strategies to improve cybersecurity. AWIA requires that allcommunity drinking water systems serving more than 3,300 people develop or update an RRA andsubsequently prepare or revise an ERP. The law specifies topics that must be addressed in addition toestablishing deadlines based on the number of customers being served by the water utility. Every fiveyears, Fairfield Municipal Utility (FMU) must submit certification statements to the United StatesEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA) stating they are in compliance with AWIA. On August 20, 2019, the council adopted Resolution No. 2019198 authorizing West Yost to provideengineering services for the preparation of an initial water system RRA in addition to a revised ERP.This included assessing the impact of possible terrorist threats, natural disasters, major system failuresor accidents through a detailed review of City facilities, cybersecurity, business practices and overall operations. There have been numerous updates to cybersecurity and water industry standards since FMU last completed AWIA compliance efforts. In addition, the EPA has revised their approach to ensuring AWIA compliance and consideration of climate change resilience.
Based on the date of initial certification and number of customers served, FMU is required to update the RRA and submit a certification statement to the EPA no later than March 31, 2025. Subsequently, a certification statement must be submitted for corresponding ERP revisions no later than September 30, 2025, or six months after RRA certification. West Yost completed the City’s last RRA and ERP. Staff recommends entering into an agreement with West Yost to conduct the required RRA and ERP updates.
West Yost’s scope of work will include assisting FMU with compliance support services by performing a detailed update to the water system RRA. West Yost will conduct a comprehensive update through an allhazards approach to address the full range of potential threats and hazards. Additionally, inperson workshops will be hosted to provide City staff opportunities to better understand AWIA requirements and the different risks to Fairfield’s water system.
Briefing on the sensitive, confidential aspects of this agreement were disclosed to the council in closed session pursuant to Government Code 54957.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Total authorization for this agreement is in an amount not to exceed $165,000. The cost for this agreement will be paid out of the Water Enterprise Fund (Fund 461, Organization Code 46160600).
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
N/A
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
This request may be delayed if the council has any questions or concerns. This is not recommended, however, as the City will not meet deadlines established by the EPA.

SUBJECT: America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (AWIA) Compliance Support Services Dear Michael:
West Yost is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Fairfield Public Works Division (Fairfield) for AWIA Compliance Support Services. West Yost supported Fairfield with AWIA compliance services in 2019- 2020 and we are grateful for the opportunity to work with Fairfield again. Reviewing and revising the Risk and Resilience Assessment (RRA) and Emergency Response Plan (ERP) demonstrates continuous improvement by Fairfield to become more resilient.
BACKGROUND
America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (AWIA) was signed into law in October of 2018. Under this law, utilities are required to review and revise an RRA and prepare or revise an ERP every five years.
Utilities must certify to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that they have achieved these requirements.
Compliance Certification
Utilities must submit certification statements to the EPA certifying AWIA compliance for both the RRA and ERP. For Fairfield that date is no later than March 31, 2025, for the RRA and September 30, 2025, for the ERP, or six months after the RRA certification, whichever comes first.
Workshops
Stakeholder engagement is a key part of West Yost’s approach and is consistent with industry standards for building resilience. West Yost’s workshops are designed to be interactive and collaborative. Workshops are integrated into the scope because they 1) educate stakeholders on the assessment process, 2) help achieve consensus on key items such as critical assets and relevant threats/hazards, and 3) are a source of recommendations to management on what should change in the organization to reduce risk and increase resilience. The following workshops are included in the scope:
Workshop 1 – Project Kickoff
Workshop 2 – Cybersecurity Assessment
Workshop 3 – Review and Confirm Updates to the RRA
Workshop 4 – Risk and Resilience Management Strategies and Emergency Response Planning EXHIBIT "A"
Packet Page 117 of 401Attachment 2 Page 4 of 24
Michael Hether
October 28, 2024
OTCR-Marketing-Client-SGVW-AWIA2025
In addition, the workshops provide the opportunity for staff to better understand AWIA requirements and the different types of risks to Fairfield’s water system. This will help continue to integrate resilience and emergency preparedness into the organizational culture and decision making.
Industry Standards
West Yost takes an all-hazards approach to address the full range of potential threats and hazards, including malevolent acts, natural hazards, dependency hazards, and proximity hazards approach that considers prevention, protection, preparedness, response, and recovery needs. To do this, we use industry guidance, resources, and best practices. These include the following from the American Water Works Association (AWWA):
AWWA J100-21 – Risk and Resilience Management of Water and Wastewater Systems and associated Operational Guide (J100 Standard)
AWWA Water Sector Cybersecurity Risk Management Tool and Guidance AWWA G430-20 – Security Practices for Operation and Management (G430 Standard) AWWA G440-17 – Emergency Preparedness Practices (G440 Standard) AWWA M19 – Emergency Planning for Water and Wastewater Utilities, 5th Edition These AWWA standards represent risk and resilience management and emergency preparedness best practices for the water sector. Following these standards demonstrates due diligence. In addition to the AWWA standards, standards from outside the water industry will be considered, as appropriate, to provide a more comprehensive review. These standards include, but are not limited to:
AWWA G300-14 – Source Water Protection and associated G300 Operational Guide (G300 Standard)
AWWA M71 – Climate Action Plans: Adaptive Strategies for Utilities Idaho National Laboratory’s Cyber-Informed Engineering Implementation Guide EPA’s Climate Resilience Evaluation and Awareness Tool (CREAT) These standards are regularly updated. If a more recent version is available, the project team will use it to support project delivery.
Changes From Prior Compliance/Related Efforts
Since Fairfield last completed AWIA compliance activities, numerous things have changed, including:
1. Updates to AWWA standards, most prominently J100-21 and the associated Operational Guide. Updates to cybersecurity resources are expected in 2024. These updates change how the risks associated with specific threats and hazards are evaluated.
2. Changes to the EPA’s approach to ensuring AWIA compliance and consideration of climate change resilience. More specifically:
a) The EPA is expected to exercise its audit authority under the Safe Drinking Water Act to confirm that AWIA compliance actions meet the associated requirements. b) The EPA has released an internal policy that all compliance actions should explicitly account for climate change resilience.

October 28, 2024
OTCR-Marketing-Client-SGVW-AWIA2025
3. Changes to our operating environment – Our understanding of the threats (e.g. cyber) and hazards (e.g. climate change) that are impacting utility operations around the U.S. are continuously evolving.
4. Changes to Fairfield’s operations and staff – Fairfield’s organization is continuously evolving as infrastructure investments are made, staff leave, new staff join, and customer demands change.
Our scope of work presented below accounts for all of these changes.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The following sections summarize the scope of work to complete this project. Based on the AWIA compliance work previously completed, the RRA should be updated, the ERP should be updated, and as- needed services should be considered to continue to build resilience and reduce risk.
Based on investments by Fairfield (e.g. in cybersecurity and physical security), staff changes, the changing operating environment, and changing standards, updates are expected to each section of the RRA.
Updates to standards are also expected to result in some substantial changes to Fairfield’s RRA. The most significant of which are expected to include:
How consequences are estimated for each threat-asset pair (i.e. scenario). How climate change-related risks are assessed.
How cyber-risks are assessed.
How benefits and costs of Risk and Resilience Management Strategies (i.e. improvement projects) are scoped and evaluated.
The scope provided below presents an approach by which the project team can build on the work already completed by Fairfield.
Task 1. Project Management
The objective of this task is to track work progress and expenditures using proactive communications, quality assurance and quality control to maintain the project schedule and budget. Project Management activities include the following:
Initiation Meeting – West Yost will prepare for and coordinate a project initiation meeting.
The project team will review the project approach, scope and schedule, and finalize schedules for meetings and workshops. At this meeting, we will also:
— Prepare for the first series of workshops,
— Identify Fairfield’s internal and external stakeholder group members, — Identify staff for interviews, and
— Establish dates for workshops and progress meetings.
Progress Meetings – Conference calls will be held as-needed to review project status, including work completed during the latest report period, work anticipated to be completed during the next reporting period, identified problems/issues that could affect project budget/expenditures and/or schedule, outstanding issues to be resolved, and action items. Invoices – Monthly invoices and progress reports will be prepared.

Michael Hether
October 28, 2024
OTCR-Marketing-Client-SGVW-AWIA2025
Quality Control – In accordance with our internal quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) policy, quality assurance and quality control will be performed for each of the project deliverables prior to final submission to Fairfield.
Project Closeout Meeting – We will conduct final project closeout activities, including final document delivery and a final progress report.
Task 1 Assumptions
It is assumed the project duration will be ten months.
Task 1 Deliverables
West Yost will provide monthly invoices, and project schedule updates. West Yost will develop an initial data request.
Task 2. Risk and Resilience Assessment Update
Under this task, West Yost will work with Fairfield to update the previously developed RRA.
Task 2.1. Workshop 1 and Staff Interviews
West Yost will facilitate an on-site workshop to kick off the project. The Kickoff Workshop is a multi- purpose meeting. During the workshop the project team will:
Review the updated AWIA requirements, the previously completed assessment, and project approach.
Identify and discuss any specific Fairfield concerns. Review the project schedule.
Discuss changes to Fairfield’s critical assets and operations since the last RRA was completed. Discuss any changes to Fairfield’s relevant threats and hazards since the last RRA was completed.
Prior to the Kickoff Workshop, West Yost will review the information provided by Fairfield in response to the initial data request.
Interviews are an excellent way to collect information on what has changed about Fairfield’s operations and operating environment for consideration within this RRA update. Interviews may be conducted in person or virtually, in a one-on-one format or small group setting depending on the staff roles and responsibilities.
Task 2.2. Cybersecurity Risk and Resilience Assessment
West Yost will update the evaluation of Fairfield’s “electronic, computer or other automated systems” in accordance with the AWIA requirements. A review of the previous cybersecurity assessment will be included in the Kickoff Meeting. West Yost will review Fairfield’s supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems and interview cybersecurity stakeholders. This will be followed by Workshop 2 in which the AWWA Cybersecurity Tool will be used to identify recommended controls that should be in place or require improvements.

Michael Hether
October 28, 2024
OTCR-Marketing-Client-SGVW-AWIA2025
Workshop 2 – Cybersecurity Assessment, Technology Interviews, and Site Visits This portion of the RRA is focused on technology, which Fairfield relies on, but relatively few staff are responsible for. West Yost will assist Fairfield with identifying the appropriate members of the Cybersecurity Stakeholder Group. Typically, this group consists of staff responsible for the day-to-day secure and reliable operation of Fairfield’s IT and SCADA systems. This may include external contractors.
Workshop 2 will include a brief introduction to previous work conducted, changes in cybersecurity best practices, how these relate to this round of AWIA compliance, and the associated methodology.
The Cybersecurity RRA site visit is expected to take less than two hours. Interviews will be incorporated into the site visit. During this site visit, West Yost staff will review our understanding of Fairfield’s SCADA system.
Next, West Yost will facilitate an evaluation of current cybersecurity practices using the AWWA Cybersecurity Tool. The AWWA Cybersecurity Tool is the consensus standard for cybersecurity assessment in the water sector and generates an easy-to-use output for building an AWIA-compliant cybersecurity assessment and improvement plan.
The project team will update the status of recommended controls from the prior round of AWIA using the output from the AWWA Cybersecurity Tool. This will allow Fairfield staff to continue using the AWWA Cybersecurity Tool as improvements and changes to the system are implemented. West Yost will integrate the findings of this task into the RRA and ERP.
Task 2.3. Analysis of Consequences, Vulnerability and Likelihood To complete the RRA, risk calculations will be updated for each threat-asset pair selected for analysis.
Prior to this update, natural hazards, including earthquakes and climate change will be assessed specifically to address updates in the assessment methodologies since the prior RRA was completed.
These are included within the consequence analysis portion of this task.
Consequence Analysis
One of the larger changes within AWWA’s J100-21 is to the consequence estimation methods within Step 3 – Consequence Analysis. In prior versions of the standard, the method used in Fairfield’s previously developed RRA was consistent with the standard methodology at the time. Based on an initial review of the data collected during the prior RRA, we propose to adapt this data to align with the current methodology in AWWA J100-21. The revised consequences and associated methodology will be summarized and included in the RRA.
Climate Change Risk Assessment
Once updates to the critical assets are determined, West Yost will conduct a climate change risk assessment using EPA’s CREAT software application. CREAT was developed by the EPA to assist utility owners and operators with understanding potential climate change threats and assess the related risks to their operations. Results will be compared to other regional and local climate change risk assessments.
The results of the analysis will be integrated into the overall RRA to inform the risk and resilience analysis.

October 28, 2024
OTCR-Marketing-Client-SGVW-AWIA2025
Seismic Risk Assessment
West Yost will conduct a seismic risk and consequence analysis for the Maximum Credible Earthquake (MCE) that Fairfield anticipates. This analysis will be based upon HAZUS Technical Manual Chapter 8 for non-linear assets (buildings, treatment facilities, reservoirs, and pump stations) and the American Lifelines Alliance (ALA) Seismic Guidelines for Pipelines. This analysis will highlight areas of strengths and weaknesses within the water system to help guide Fairfield in focusing on future resilience building efforts.
Vulnerability Analysis
The project team will revise the prior evaluation of the ability of each critical asset and its protective systems to withstand each specified threat or hazard. West Yost will update the documentation of existing protective systems such as: physical security systems, Fairfield security procedures, flood protection, backup generators, and existing emergency response capabilities, plans, and protocols. The West Yost team will conduct a site visit in conjunction with Workshop 1 to select facilities to collect information and document protective systems in support the vulnerability analysis. The results will be summarized in the RRA.
Threat Likelihood Analysis
West Yost will revise threat likelihood estimates. This number is the annualized probability or frequency that a specific threat or hazard will occur for each threat-asset pair retained for analysis. We will utilize standard information on frequency and severity from sources such as National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and United States Geological Survey (USGS), local hazard mitigation plans, and the EPA. The analysis will also account for the utility-specific threat/hazard occurrence information gathered previously. The results will be summarized in the RRA.
Workshop 3 – Review and Confirm Updates to the RRA
The West Yost team will conduct Workshop 3 to review and confirm changes to the RRA. This will include updates to the analyses proposed above and individual risk variables for each threat-asset pair, as needed.
Prior to the workshop West Yost will review proposed changes with Fairfield. During the workshop the group will review:
The consequence of a threat/hazard to an asset
The vulnerability of an asset to a threat
The likelihood of a threat occurring
Qualitative consequences will be captured for threat-asset pairs, as appropriate. The results will be summarized in the RRA.
Calculate Risk and Resilience
West Yost will calculate risk and resilience for each priority threat-asset pair using the following equation from AWWA’s J100 Standard:
Risk = Consequences x Vulnerability x Threat Likelihood (C x V x T) West Yost will also complete the Utility Resilience Index, as presented in AWWA’s J100-21 Standard.

OTCR-Marketing-Client-SGVW-AWIA2025
Task 2.4. Risk and Resilience Management Strategy (RRMS) Development Once the risks have been calculated. RRMSs will be developed for implementation to reduce the risk of the greatest threat-asset pairs. RRMSs may include physical security or cybersecurity upgrades, natural hazard mitigation, training, policy/procedure changes, monitoring strategies, and operational/financial changes that can make Fairfield more resilient.
Once RRMSs have been developed, the West Yost team will calculate the net benefit for each measure to indicate how the estimated mitigation cost lowers the risk to the critical asset. The RRMSs will be prioritized based on risk reduction and cost effectiveness.
West Yost will document the development of RRMSs as the final section of the RRA.
Workshop 4 – RRMSs and Emergency Response Planning
Workshop 4 will consist of two topics. The first topic is the RRMSs and associated results of the net benefit analyses. The second topic is the draft Emergency Response Plan updates discussed under Task 3.
Task 2.5. Risk and Resilience Assessment Summary Report Update Using the consequences, vulnerabilities, and threat likelihoods estimated in Task 2.3, the risks to and resilience of the utility will be evaluated. West Yost will prepare a draft RRA update to summarize the tasks completed during this project, the results of the workshops and analyses, and the risk and resilience calculations. The cyber-RRA results will also be incorporated into this report. The report will document that Fairfield used an all-hazards approach and demonstrates AWIA compliance. In addition, the report will document the continuous improvement that Fairfield is making to improve resilience and reduce risk.
The draft report will be provided to Fairfield for review. To assist in Fairfield’s review, a meeting will be held for West Yost to walk Fairfield through the report prior to review.
Upon receipt of Fairfield’s comments on the draft RRA, West Yost will revise and finalize the document. With completion of this report, Fairfield will be responsible for certifying with the EPA that Fairfield’s RRA is complete.
Task 2 Assumptions
Workshop 1 is assumed to be two hours in duration.
A site visit will be completed on the same day as Workshop 1. The technology-focused site visit, cybersecurity RRA interviews, and Workshop 2 will occur on the same, or adjoining days. This is estimated to be up to six hours in duration. Workshop 3 is assumed to be two hours in duration.
Workshop 4 is assumed to be two hours in duration.
Workshop 4 will include a discussion of both the Risk and Resilience Management Strategies and the ERP (Task 3)
The budget assumes that Workshops 1, 2 and 3 will be in-person and a Workshop 4 will be hybrid (virtual and in-person).
Fairfield staff will be available to participate in the Workshops. The schedule assumes that Fairfield will complete a review of the Draft RRA within four weeks of receipt of the draft report.
The budget assumes Fairfield will provide a single set of collated comments on the Draft RRA.

Task 2 Deliverables
West Yost will prepare a draft and final updated RRA. West Yost will prepare meeting and workshop facilitation materials.
Task 3 – Emergency Response Plan Update Recommendations The ERP will be updated directly to meet AWIA compliance requirements. West Yost’s approach for developing the ERP is based on three main principles:
Standards-Based Planning – ensures conformity with the standards and ease implementation of the ERP during an emergency situation. Concept of Operations – guides development of the ERP, defines the overall approach to emergency situations including what should happen, when, and at whose direction. Capability-Based Planning – guides development of the ERP to help FAIRFIELD build capacity to take a specific course of action. Capabilities-based planning answers the question, “Do I have the right mix of training, organizations, plans, people, leadership and management, equipment, and facilities to perform a required emergency function?” West Yost built Fairfield’s current ERP to achieve AWIA compliance. Since that revision approximately five years ago, the industry standards have not changed significantly. Under this task, West Yost will update the ERP based on the results of the RRA. West Yost will provide recommendations for improvements to the Fairfield’s ERP during Workshop 4. Proposed revisions will be captured. While not expected, any substantive changes will be confirmed with Fairfield before updates are made to the document.
Task 3 Assumptions
Fairfield will provide an editable version of the current ERP. Fairfield will provide any additional emergency preparedness documents developed since the last AWIA compliance project. This may include such things as: incident response plans, incident or exercise after-action reports, etc.
Fairfield staff will be available to participate in the Workshop.
Task 3 Deliverables
West Yost will prepare a draft and final updated ERP.
Task 4. As-needed Services
The objective of this task is to provide additional services related to the previous tasks as requested by Fairfield. These services may allow Fairfield to immediately begin implementing RRMSs identified within the RRA.
Anticipated as-needed services include:
Emergency Preparedness Exercise – A table-top exercise will be conducted to evaluate the Fairfield’s ability to implement the revised ERP. Improvements will be incorporated into the ERP prior to finalization. For example, West Yost regularly leads A Day without SCADA® exercises to help utilities better understand their dependence on SCADA and ability to operate in the absence of automation.

October 28, 2024
OTCR-Marketing-Client-SGVW-AWIA2025
Supply Chain Risk Assessment – A detailed assessment of critical chemical and other consumable supplies used by Fairfield will be completed. This will include working with suppliers to characterize the risk to Fairfield from supply chain disruptions and provide input into the RRA.
Emergency Preparedness Mobile App – Mobile applications designed to allow a utility to take their Emergency Response Plan "off the shelf" and into your responders’ hands. West Yost can support deployment of an application to support improved emergency response.
Subcontractor services are needed to implement the mobile application. Additional services as identified by Fairfield.
Task 4 Assumptions
No work on this task will be completed without prior client authorization, scoping, and associated budget/schedule amendment, if needed.
Task 4 Deliverables
West Yost will provide deliverables as determined by scoping activities.

4) CONSULTANT NOT AN AGENT. Except as CITY may specify in writing, CONSULTANT shall have no authority, express or implied, to act on behalf of CITY in any capacity whatsoever as an agent.
CONSULTANT shall have no authority, express or implied, pursuant to this Agreement, to bind CITY to any obligation whatsoever.
5) ASSIGNMENT PROHIBITED. No party to this Agreement may assign any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement. Any attempted or purported assignment of any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement shall be void and of no effect.
6) PERSONNEL. CONSULTANT shall assign only competent personnel to perform services pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that CITY, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term of this Agreement, desires the removal of any person or persons assigned by CONSULTANT to perform services pursuant to this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall remove any such person immediately upon receiving notice from CITY of the desire of CITY for the removal of such person or persons. 7) STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE. CONSULTANT shall perform all services required pursuant to this Agreement. Services shall be performed in the manner and according to the standards observed by a competent practitioner of the profession in which CONSULTANT is engaged in the geographical area in which CONSULTANT practices his profession. All products which CONSULTANT delivers to CITY pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in a workmanlike manner, and conform to the standards of quality normally observed by a person practicing in CONSULTANT's profession. CITY shall be the sole judge as to whether the product of the CONSULTANT is satisfactory.
8) CANCELLATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement may be canceled at any time by the CITY at its discretion upon written notification to CONSULTANT.

All products of the CONSULTANT provided under this Agreement shall be the property of the CITY.
10) INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS.
a) If AGREEMENT is an agreement for design professional services subject to California Civil Code § 2782.8(a) and CONSULTANT is a design professional, as defined in California Civil Code § 2782.8(c)(2), to the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CITY and its elected officials, officers, agents, employees and designated volunteers (collectively “CITY Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs, to the extent they arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT’s duty to defend shall consist of reimbursement of defense costs incurred by CITY in direct proportion to the CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault. CONSULTANT’s percentage of fault shall be determined, as applicable, by a court of law, jury or arbitrator. In the event any loss, liability or damage is incurred by way of settlement or resolution without a court, jury or arbitrator having made a determination of the CONSULTANT’s percentage of fault, the parties agree to mediation with a third party neutral to determine the CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault for purposes of determining the amount of indemnity and defense cost reimbursement owed to the CITY.
b) If AGREEMENT is not an agreement for design professional services subject to California Civil Code § 2782.8(a) or CONSULTANT is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code § 2782.8(c)(2), to the fullest extent allowed by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the CITY Indemnitees from all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra-hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by CONSULTANT or any person directly or indirectly employed by or acting as agent for CONSULTANT in the performance of this Agreement, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the CITY Indemnitees.
It is understood that the duty of CONSULTANT to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code.
Acceptance of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve CONSULTANT from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply whether or not such insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any such damages or claims for damages.
CONSULTANT’S responsibility for such defense and indemnity shall survive termination or completion of this agreement for the full period of time allowed by law. 11) PROHIBITED INTERESTS. No employee of the CITY shall have any direct financial interest in this agreement. This agreement shall be voidable at the option of the CITY if this provision is violated.

1 Measure P: Delivering on the Promise. . . and then some! Fiscal Year 2023 – 2024 Annual Report (July 2023 – June 2024)
What is Measure P
Measure P is a locally controlled 1% transaction and general use tax designed to protect public safety, improve services, and enhance the quality of life in Fairfield. Measure P’s mandate comes from the voter’s ballot measure “to support neighborhood police patrols, firefighting and rapid 9-1-1 emergency response, crime prevention programs; potholes and neighborhood street repairs; parks and recreation (with an emphasis on youth and senior services), and other general services, with mandatory audits and independent oversight.” Measure P funds are dedicated solely for use by the City of Fairfield in its General Fund and are not subject to be diverted to the state or other agencies.
The ballot measure also directed the City to establish a Fairfield Taxpayers Committee, also referred to as the “Measure P Committee.” That committee consists of five taxpaying Fairfield citizens appointed to five-year terms by the City Council. This is an annual report from the Fairfield Taxpayers Committee.
History of Measure P
In 2012, the City faced unprecedented deficits in its General Fund due to the loss of revenue associated with the recession starting in late 2008, plus the eventual unexpected loss of redevelopment dollars, caused by the 2011 Budget Act, the Legislature approved the dissolution of the state’s 400 plus Redevelopment Agencies (RDAs). After a period of litigation, RDAs were officially dissolved as of February 1, 2012. As a result, Fairfield was forced to reduce its workforce by 18% and close City Hall and other city facilities every Friday. Available employee work hours dropped nearly 25%. City employees pitched in and agreed to reduce their own work hours and contribute more to pensions and health care. These efforts, however, were not enough to maintain the current level of public safety and basic services, let alone offer more programs to enhance quality of life.
To prevent further cuts, the City Council put Measure P on the ballot for voter approval. It was passed by 68% of voters in 2012 and extended in 2016 with 69% voter approval. Measure P currently sunsets in March 2033, unless extended by the voters.
Since its inception, Measure P has played an integral role in restoring critical services, strengthening public safety, improving streets and roads, and expanding services to enhance quality of life in Fairfield. Rather than a one-time financial solution, Fairfield has now benefitted from more than 11 years of steady Measure P revenue.
Packet Page 158 of 401Attachment 1 Page 1 of 14
2 Thanks in part to consistent Measure P funding, the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) city employees has been thoughtfully restored over the past decade to support increased services.
These increases include adding crime and fire prevention programs, additional street maintenance crews, and enhanced quality of life efforts.
Prior to the recession, the maximum FTE employee headcount was 609 employees in 2009. By the time Measure P began in 2013, layoffs reduced that headcount by over 17% to 502 FTE.
During the first ten years of Measure P, 117 FTE positions were added, either directly or indirectly attributable to the measure. This restored the overall city employee count to 619 FTE positions at the beginning of this fiscal year, an amount slightly above pre-recession levels, but still about 10% below the equivalent manpower level when considering the population growth of the city.
This was reported in detail within last year’s Measure P annual report.
Long-term fiscal forecasting during this past year identified a future structural budget deficit driven by recent inflation and other factors. As a result, a hiring freeze has been implemented and growth of employee levels has been curtailed. The Measure P Committee also investigated long-term pension liability impact on the structural deficit, with a forecast presented later in this report.
Measure P Programing:
Since Measure P is a program lasting at least 20 years, from 2013 to 2033, the City of Fairfield takes a long-term integrated approach to planning those revenues. Measure P taxes are a General Fund revenue. Historically, Measure P on average represents almost 20% of the city’s entire General Fund. Other components of the General Fund include the traditional sales tax managed by the state, the city’s portion of local property taxes, franchise taxes, and other miscellaneous fees.
Since Measure P is a 20-year program, from the beginning those funds have been fully integrated into the overall city budget and not set aside as a separate account to be spent independently.
Even if they were set aside and programmed for separate use, ultimately all general funds are fungible and used as needed to execute the city budget.
After implementing updated software in the 2021 - 2022 fiscal year, a specific Measure P budget has been planned and monitored, demonstrating its impact on the city’s overall budget.
However, this Measure P budget exists within the larger full General Fund budget. The Measure P budget is targeted at departments and programs that closely align with the Measure P ballot language presented to the voters. As the fiscal year progresses, this budget is revised midyear to correspond with updated incoming Measure P revenues.
As an indication of Measure P impact, reports are presented for the specific departments and programs highlighted by the Measure P budget. Those are listed later within this document.

3 Fiscal Year 2023 – 2024 Summary:
The past fiscal year saw the prior post-Covid growth of the local retail economy stabilize and then slightly slow. Inflation also moderated leading to more stable pricing. The Federal Reserve’s increase of interest rate of 5.25% to 5.50% in July of 2023 at the start of this past fiscal year reduced and shifted the purchasing power of consumers, thus causing a mild dent in the year over year Measure P revenues.
Total Measure P revenue reduced 1.45% from prior year actual revenues, and 1.48% below the FY 2023 – 2024 beginning forecast. The mid-year revision was very accurate - within 0.06% of the final actual revenues.
SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL DATA INCLUDING TRENDS
Total net Measure P revenue for the past fiscal year was $25,376,999. Additional revenue from traditional sales tax was $30,149,797. Our traditional sales tax includes about $4,970,845 representing the Fairfield portion of the Solano Pool allocated by the state for online sales tax (internet shopping).
In the past year, total sales tax revenue was $55,526,796 from all sources, and Measure P represented 45.7% of all sales tax revenue. Measure P also represented 18.3% of all General Fund Revenues.
Table 1 represents a comparison of the original budget, the mid-year revised budget, and actual end of fiscal year Measure P expenditures. The table represents the broad areas of spending aligned with the voter’s ballot measure – Public Works, Fire Department, Police Department, and Parks and Recreation. Public Works has a secondary “Quality of Life” component outside of “Steets and Roads,” creating five total tracking categories.
Table 1 shows that total Measure P revenues started to slow in the first part of the fiscal year, as the Federal Reserve’s higher interest rates took effect. This ultimately resulted in the drop of Measure P tax revenues, 1.45% below the prior year.
The Fairfield Taxpayers Committee in their quarterly meetings received updates from City Management and the Finance Department on the use of Measure P funds, as well as revised trends and review of economic data. The committee also received departmental presentations to include planned use of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, Police Department operation and training, homeless engagement and response team, street maintenance, and Public Works capital expenditure projects.
Table 1 shows that Measure P funded numerous public safety employees including 34 police officers, 22 firefighters, and 5 dispatchers. It also funded the city’s two pillars of homeless Packet Page 160 of 401Attachment 1 Page 3 of 14
4 prevention – Public Works’ Homeless Engagement and Response Team (HEART) and law enforcement’s Homeless Intervention Team (HIT), which is part of the city’s Community Action Team (CAT).
The table also shows midyear adjustments. For example, within Public Works, some additional money was added for funding streets, however, the HEART team funds were slightly decreased.
HEART activity includes cleaning up homeless camps, dumped and abandoned trash throughout the city, and graffiti. HEART has close cooperation with the Police Department’s HIT team which in turn received a slight uptick in funds.

Police, Fire, and emergency response were likewise topics identified on the ballot measure. “Enhancing Quality of Life” includes both Parks and Recreation plus a component of Public Works since that division maintains our parks. Quality of Life also includes removing dumped debris, cleanup of homeless camps, and streetside trash, and eradication of graffiti.

6 Improving Quality of Life
Broad Assistance to Address Homelessness: Measure P funds continue to be instrumental in helping several of the City’s departments address one of our most urgent issues – helping those in our city who do not have a house or shelter. The Police Department has the HIT team that addresses homeless individuals at locations or in camps. Rather than making arrests, they use many resources attempting to assist homeless individuals. As mentioned, the Public Works Department manages the HEART team to clean up camps, debris, and graffiti. This is important for health, sanitation, and welfare of the city’s environment.
Fairfield was a leader in homeless outreach establishing the HIT team, initially with two dedicated officers. That team has grown to five officers, and a community service officer. The HIT team has also been combined with the Community Action Team (CAT) to address crime free efforts at multi-unit housing complexes and our many local businesses. With the recent hiring freeze on vacant positions, the team was reduced back to two sworn officers and a community service officer, with the other officers assigned back to maintain adequate manpower on patrol.
The county manages most social programs that would help homeless individuals. Fairfield has joined Solano County and our neighboring cities by reformatting the Community Action Partnership Solano Joint Powers Authority with elected officials from each city and the county to find a more coordinated regional solution to homelessness. As the county seat has courts, jails, and substance rehabilitation facilities, this was particularly important for Fairfield. The Joint Powers Authority enables access to grants and state funding. The county retains the majority of social services resources, while cities like Fairfield have the best assets to patrol and meet needs on the streets and in neighborhoods.
Under this partnership, the HIT team is often successful in moving homeless individuals towards more stable shelter, in coordination with non-profit housing and other agencies. This multi-year effort has resulted in 30% of unhoused people in Fairfield off the streets and in shelters. In some cases, they have proactively moved homeless individuals toward permanent housing. In the latter instance, that often means reconnecting those individuals with their families, sometimes in other states, and sometimes to families that had lost track of their loved ones. This is done in a deliberate fashion, attempting to clear any outstanding warrants before relocation, and making sure the destination is truly suitable and willing to accept the homeless person.

8 Parks and Recreation
Further improving quality of life, Measure P has helped maintain our Parks & Recreation facilities.
In addition to keeping the many City parks open, the following activities were accomplished at our specific locations:
AQUATIC COMPLEX
Swim lessons through June included 290 sessions with a combined total of 1,211 participants, up 25% from last year.
Recreation swim added an extra day this summer and totaled 11,224 combined participants, up 99% from last year.
Four fitness programs were offered year-round with 1,086 daily drop-ins (up 6%), 475 monthly passes (up 44%), and 111 ten punch passes (up 22%) sold.
Adaptive Swim had 185 drop-in admission participants.
Preschool Playtime with (parent/child) had 149 drop-in admissions Three annual events (Spring Egg-Dive-Aganza, Bobbing for Pumpkins, and Santa Splash) totaled 454 guests.
DOWNTOWN THEATER
Our Downtown Theater exceeded their contractual obligation of 39 shows by hosting over 88 shows. They included Frazer Trager Presents music performances, Missouri Street and Missouri Street Youth theater productions, Solano Winds, the Buckingham High School production of Mamma Mia!, and several school and local performances.
SENIOR PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES
Twenty-three social and recreational clubs at the Adult Recreation Center Hosted eight unique events at the Adult Recreation Center. They included luncheons, dinners, and summer concerts. These events had 754 participants (up 8%).
Brought back Senior Line Dance with a total of 252 drop-in admissions.
Offered Senior Computer classes with 225 registrants.
Meals on Wheels was discontinued, and the Senior Program has now entered a contract with Innovative Health Solutions to offer lunch to our seniors. There are currently 46 participants.

9 Police Department
The Police Department has the largest operating budget in the city, and likewise gains more Measure P funds than any other department. In the past year, this department was allotted 47% of Measure P funds.
Measure P played a pivotal role to maintain staffing levels as the city began to face a structural budget deficit. Measure P funded 34 of 126 sworn officer positions, representing 27% of the police force. The budget reduction led to the freezing of four sworn positions, and Measure P has proven instrumental in maintaining an adequate number of officers on patrol.
Measure P also funds five dispatchers, representing 23% of the line and supervisory dispatch positions in the department. Like the sworn officer situation, the department had to freeze one dispatch supervisor and one dispatch position to meet budget goals. Dispatch is critical to our community safety; it is the first line of contact for both police and fire. These funds are vital to maintaining response times to answering calls and calls for service. During the year, dispatch answered 207,655 calls for service in Fairfield.
Measure P plays a significant role supporting the Crime Prevention Unit, including vital community engagement programs. These include 31 Neighborhood Watch programs, six Business Watch programs, and 12 Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS). These programs, which are crucial in engaging the community and preventing crime, are made possible by Measure P.
During the past year, Measure P assisted with a significant impact on crime rates. Two-hundred ninety-nine firearms were recovered and taken off the street through proactive policing from our Patrol and Investigations Divisions. Homicides were down by 50%, robbery reduced by 1%, and aggravated assault down by 3%. Property crime has also been reduced by 21%, and total crime is down by 17%. Measure P in prior years funded numerous FLOCK traffic cameras, which remain instrumental in rapidly solving and preventing other crimes.
Measure P has been instrumental in allowing the Police Department to achieve the City Council’s public safety goals and the community’s well-being. The department remains committed to safety, service and community outreach.

10 Police Activities League (PAL)
Measure P funding has been an intricate part of the development of PAL, which aims to support the underserved and at-risk teens in Fairfield. This year a total of 298 teens were supported, an increase of 25%. Of the teens, 84% of the teens were from Fairfield/Travis, and 16% were from Suisun City.
Data is displayed for the PAL teens as follows.
1. Household Income: 35% Extremely Low, 34% Very Low, and 14% Low
2. Race: 27% African American, 45% Hispanic, 11% White, 7% Asian
3. Gender: 59% Male, 38% Female, 2% Non-Binary
4. Ages: 26% (13 – 14 years old), 42% (15 – 16 years old), 25% (17 – 18 years old)
PAL funding from Measure P rose 72% above the prior year to $672,261. Additionally, a Solano County Probation Grant provided $50,000 for new equipment. That allowed a new ping pong table, poly pong table, commercial air hockey table, video game systems with TVs, and a Karaoke setup. Bubble soccer and laser tags systems were also upgraded. Members were provided with new water bottles, T-shirts, and boxing bags.
A Solano County Food Bank grant funded a refrigerated cooler making it possible to offer perishable items.
Here are some PAL highlights from the past year:
1. A summer breakfast and lunch program with the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District Child Nutrition Department
2. Monthly events including Crumble Cookie Student of the Month, Matt Garcia Foundation pizza dinners, Fairfield-Suisun Rotary dinners, and bike mobile visits

11 Fire Department
Measure P’s Cumulative Long-Term Impact on the Fire Department Fairfield continues to be a growing and expanding city. Past year call volume stood at 16,341 requests for service, with annual responses to incidents up 63.4% since Measure P began in 2013.
Measure P’s steady flow of revenue has allowed the city to not only maintain an increased quantity of service, but also establish robust fire prevention and training programs. In 2021, these upgraded programs were instrumental in improving the city’s Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating from 3 to 2. For reference, less than one percent of cities in the United States attain the top ISO rating of 1, and that is primarily very large cities with significant unique equipment. The City’s excellent ISO rating helps sustain lower insurance costs for residences and businesses.
This past year Measure P funded 22 Firefighters. Measure P also provided $716,100 funding for Fire Department vehicle replacement and maintenance. New Station 36, expected to open in August 2026, will provide expanded coverage to the Green Valley and Cordelia areas. Measure P funds have already enabled deployment of a seventh engine company in June 2022 that will be based in that facility.
Past Year Fire Department Performance
In the past year, the Fire Department responded to 16,341 incidents, up 1.8% from the prior year.
Station 37 continued as the busiest in the department with 5,519 incidents (up 48%). That station is home to both an engine and a full-time truck company.
The Fire Department’s fire prevention efforts and community engagement initiatives continue to evolve. The department conducted 1,814 Annual Fire and Life Safety Inspections, up 4.4% from the previous year. Nearly 14,000 violations were identified and addressed, helping decrease potential fire hazards.
The department completed 228 building plan reviews and conducted a range of construction inspections, including 558 residential fire sprinkler systems, and 4 pre-engineered kitchen extinguishing systems (hood and duct). The fire prevention unit takes a proactive approach to risk mitigation.
Packet Page 168 of 401Attachment 1 Page 11 of 14
12 During the past year, the Fairfield Fire Department assumed responsibility for emergency response for the Cordelia Fire Protection District, evolving to a long-term contract for service.
This occurred when after over a century of service, financial pressures forced the fire district to contract with Fairfield for services (initially through a short-term contract last year). The city and district negotiated a long-term agreement, beneficial to both parties, that includes fire prevention and administrative functions, in addition to the already provided emergency response.
Measure P funding boosted firefighter personnel and enabled the support of Engine 36 to Cordelia, improving response time in that area.
Improving Streets and Roads
Measure P funds a dedicated street team. It also helps pay for the annual street seal coat program and maintain traffic signals. Below are cumulative statistics from Public Works:
• 2,906 potholes were filled by the Measure P Street Team. • 232,936 square feet of street sealed.
• 200 crosswalk improvements.
• $1,784,060 was spent on local street maintenance to include traffic signals (in addition to Measure P Street Team).
• 30.65 million square feet of streets and roads have been improved since Measure P began in 2013.
In the past year, one street was fully reconstructed (Cadenasso Drive).
Measure P Independent Audit
In accordance with the Measure P ballot measure, an annual independent audit is conducted of Measure P funds. The city’s fiscal year ends on June 30. It takes a couple of months for sales tax revenue numbers to be provided by the state, and for other revenues and expenses to be fully accounted. Once those figures are finalized, an independent audit can be conducted.
The most recent independent auditor report on compliance was completed on January 30, 2024, by Eide Bailly and did not reflect any non-compliance. The Measure P committee reviewed the Independent Auditor’s report at the February 12, 2024, quarterly meeting.
Packet Page 169 of 401Attachment 1 Page 12 of 14
13 Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL)
The Committee also reviewed the Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL), which is a significant factor in the city's employee-related costs. Since our last review in 2018, these costs have increased substantially.
Pension-related expenses now account for approximately 16% of the General Fund budget (excluding one- time transfers). Around 25% of full-time General Fund personnel expenditures are spent on pension- related costs. The current net pension liability stands at $248,899,131.
In 2019, CaLPERS lowered the discount rate, leading to a sharp increase and establishing a new baseline for annual UAL payments. The fluctuations in UAL are primarily influenced by CaLPERS' investment performance relative to the expected return (currently set at 6.8%).
The graph below, using the CaLPERS forecasting tool, indicates that the city will continue to experience rising pension costs for several more years, peaking around 2031. At that point, costs should begin to decrease as more "classic" members exit the system and are replaced by PEPRA members. As of the end of FY 2024, the city's mix of Classic versus PEPRA members was 40%/60%, reflecting a change from last year’s 42%/58%.

14 Investing in Fairfield’s Future
The City of Fairfield has made strategic investments in building general fund reserves, pension stabilization, economic development, infrastructure improvements, and revitalization. Measure P stabilized cutbacks in city services due to the great recession and has steadily supported restoring and improving a wide range of services to our citizens. Although Measure P is not the sole funding source for all the improvements noted in this report, the improvements and investments could not have been made without Measure P. During the past year, the city identified a long-term structural deficit, and the City Council has taken action to address future finances. Measure P continues as a revenue source, completely controlled by our city, to help sustain our financial stability. Measure P is delivering on the promise, and then some.
Measure P Oversight Committee
In accordance with the Measure P ordinance, the City Council established an independent five- member Citizen Oversight Committee to oversee the use of those funds. The Committee meets quarterly to review the financials and receive program updates, including certifying annual audits. The Committee attempts to have these meetings with various departments and locations throughout the City of Fairfield to gain a first-hand view of the funding needs of our city.
The Committee wants to thank the following individuals for helping to collect data from their departments:
Dan Marshall – Police Department
Taylor Armour – Fire Department
Karen Rees – City Clerk
Ashley Doyle, John Furtado – Finance Department
Ryan Panganiban, David Vong – Public Works

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Hold public hearing; waive full reading, read by title only and introduce ordinance for first reading.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
A public hearing on the request of Helen Andrews and David Stroud, for a 6th Amendment to the existing Amended and Restated Development Agreement between the City of Fairfield and Canon Partners, LLC. The Amended and Restated Development Agreement covers approximately 1,570 acres of land located approximately onehalf mile east of Peabody Road on Vanden Road's west and east sides. The Amendment proposes to increase the maximum industrial northeast impact fee rate allowed and update several definitions to reference the current 2022 Nexus Fee Studies (Resolution No. 2022146) and associated Impact Fee Ordinance (Resolution No. 2022269).
DISCUSSION
Background Information:On August 16, 2011, the City Council entered into a Development Agreement (DA) with Canon Station LLC regarding approximately 1,570 acres within the Train Station Specific Plan (TSSP) Area. Canon Station LLC is the master developer of the One Lake Neighborhood, known as Planning Area 4 and Planning Area 5 in the TSSP. The council has since authorized 5 amendments to the DA modifying a collection of topics, including conservation easement recordation timing, CFD language, a biological mitigation exhibit, infrastructure improvement timing, and procedural components. However, the key provisions of the agreement remain as follows:
1. Guarantees for the right to develop up to 3,101 dwelling units and 4.6 million square feet of office and industrial building floor area; and

However, the key provisions of the agreement remain as follows:
1. Guarantees for the right to develop up to 3,101 dwelling units and 4.6 million square feet of office and industrial building floor area; and
2. Transfer of approximately 100 acres of Cityowned land to Canon Station LLC in exchange for the 204acre Kelley Property for public park and open space uses, monetary compensation, and other considerations; and
3. Construction of various public improvements by Canon Station LLC, including a new fire station, park improvements, and road improvements; and
4. Establishment of various Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) to pay for infrastructure and municipal services, including public safety (police and fire), park maintenance, and open space maintenance; and
5. Requirement that Canon Station LLC preserve more than 1,000 acres in open spaces within and in the vicinity of the TSSP Area. Preservation is to be achieved by establishing a conservation easement on these lands.
Concurrently with the progression of the DA, Canon Station LLC transferred a portion of its interest in the project to a similarly named but independent third party: Canon Partners LLC. As part of the transaction, Canon Station LLC transferred approximately 316 acres of industrial property, along with the related developer rights and responsibilities, to Canon Partners LLC. This industrial property is better known as Planning Area 6 (PA6) of the TSSP. In 2015, Canon Station LLC, Canon Partners LLC, and the City formalized this transfer by signing an “Assignment of Rights and Assumption of Obligations Under Development Agreement.” This action officially assigned the development rights and obligations for PA6 to Canon Partners LLC, allowing the City to work directly with Canon Partners LLC on the development of PA6.
In 2013, the City adopted a series of fees to address development impacts, including the need for transportation improvements, in support of developing land under the Canon Station Development Agreement and other areas. In 2022, following a detailed study, the City updated several of these fees, including those that address transportation impacts.
Proposed Amendment:Canon Partners LLC is proposing changes to several definitions in the DA to align with the 2022 Fee Study. While most of the proposed changes are minor and procedural, one significant amendment affects the formula for calculating industrial impact fees.
Currently, the DA sets the transportation impact fee for industrial development by using a weighting relative to the fee for a lowdensity singlefamily home. The DA identifies the total transportation impact fee for a lowdensity singlefamily unit as an "Equivalent Dwelling Unit” (EDU). The DA weights industrial development relative to one EDU at 0.04 per 1,000 square feet. When fees were originally adopted in 2013, this weighting equaled a traffic impact fee for industrial development of roughly $1.00 per square foot. This rate, even with inflation factored in, does not provide sufficient funds to construct the roadway infrastructure needed to serve industrial development in Planning Area 6.
Canon Partners LLC is proposing to increase the maximum EDU factor for industrial development from
0.04 to 0.134, effectively raising the impact fee to $4 per square foot. This amendment would allow for a higher transportation impact fee to be charged for industrial development, and better cover the required infrastructure costs.
General Plan and Specific Plan Consistency:Government Code Section 65868.5 requires that a DA be consistent with the General Plan and any Specific Plan. The General Plan designates land within the TSSP as the “Special Study Area.” The Specific Plan identifies the land subject to the DA as Planning Areas 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Of the Planning Areas listed, 6 is slated for industrial development and are subject to the proposed 0.134 EDU factor. The council previously found the existing DA to be consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plan. The General Plan includes policies that require new residential development to fund the cost of its infrastructure needs. The TSSP recognizes the need to Packet Page 173 of 401

The council previously found the existing DA to be consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plan. The General Plan includes policies that require new residential development to fund the cost of its infrastructure needs. The TSSP recognizes the need to update impact fees to fund infrastructure as detailed in various policies under Section 14.8.5 Financing of Public Improvements and Facilities of the Specific Plan.
Environmental Review:An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was previously prepared and certified by the City for the TSSP in 2011. The City previously found that the impacts of development under the existing DA are within the scope of the EIR certified by the Council in 2011 for the TSSP. The proposed changes are consistent with the TSSP and do not pose environmental impacts greater than those found to be within the scope of the TSSP’s EIR.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE:November 19, 2024
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Public Hearing and;
Resolution 2024269 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Approving an Amendment Request to the Train Station Specific Plan (SP2022001) RECOMMENDED ACTION
Hold public hearing and adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Train Station Specific Plan (TSSP) includes architecture and building siting policies for development within Planning Area 6 (PA6) of the TSSP area. The policies require that the developer construct industrial buildings with architectural features that soften facades facing the public rightofway and commercial buildings that are sited for a pedestrian interface. The developer has requested that the TSSP be amended to alter these policies with flexible provisions.
DISCUSSION
Background:The Canon Station project is a diverse development proposal with a history that traces back approximately 13 years. Initial planning for the project was completed as a part of the TSSP and approved by the City Council in July 2011. The TSSP provides a generalized set of development policies, creating a framework for the overall land plan, circulation, and retail amenity hubs. Concurrent with the adoption of the TSSP, the council also certified an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that evaluated the resource impacts of the project, including detailed studies of traffic, wetland, and habitat features among its contents.
While the TSSP provides a broad framework for future development, it defers precise land planning as a future action. To facilitate future planning, the TSSP land area is divided into 10 separate “Planning Areas.” For each Planning Area (PA), the TSSP requires a “Master Planned Unit Development” (MPUD) permit as the bridge between the overall Specific Plan and the more detailed subdivision/parcel maps and development entitlements. The MPUD permit provides conceptual land use and circulation plans that refine the intent and purpose of the TSSP, as well as determine infrastructure phasing.

The MPUD permit provides conceptual land use and circulation plans that refine the intent and purpose of the TSSP, as well as determine infrastructure phasing.
At its meeting on August 23, 2023, the Planning Commission approved a request by Canon Partners, LLC for various entitlements to facilitate the development of PA6. Specifically, the MPUD permit, and associated Design Guidelines were approved. The PA6 master plan includes 4.6 million square feet of industrial development, 10,000 square feet of ‘incubator space,’ and 12,000 square feet of commercial space. The MPUD provides land use, circulation, utility, and design regulations for future development requests. The cohesive Design Guidelines highlight the project’s environmental compliance, fee and infrastructure obligations, maintenance responsibilities, and architecture and site design elements.
Focusing on the design features, the Design Guidelines include directions on 1) architecture requirements; 2) master landscape plans; 3) signage; 4) lighting; and 5) master wall and fencing plans. It should be noted that there are no buildings currently proposed for construction as part of the project.
At its meeting on October 17, 2023, the City Council reviewed the subject TSSP policy amendment request. Consistent with the commission resolution, staff recommended that the amendments not be approved, in order to preserve the Specific Plan’s vision for high quality industrial architecture that supports manufacturing. The applicant team noted that the property configuration limited the ability to site 1 million square foot buildings in any other direction and that a single elevation plane is necessary for truck safety. After careful discussion, the council directed staff to continue to work with the applicant on alternative policy language that would support both the aesthetic vision of the Specific Plan and the operational desires of the applicant.
TSSP Amendment:As directed, staff and the applicant team coordinate on revisions to the original policy amendment request. The applicant is currently seeking two TSSP policy amendments focused on building configuration and architecture. The proposed policy amendments are detailed below, and the exact language is provided in the resolution attachment (Exhibit A).
Policy 430 requires all development within PA6 to configure the loading areas and rear elevations of the buildings away from the primary streets, New Canon Road and New McCrory Road. In order to support large crossdocking facilities, the applicant requests that the policy be amended to allow loading areas to face the streets when necessary. After working closely with the applicant team, staff supports the amendment request. This support is based on the property's configuration challenges, the inclusion of a 6foot berm and extensive landscaping along New Canon Road and New McCrory Road as outlined in the PA6 Design Guidelines, the significant visual setback from Vanden Road, and consistency with the proposed design language for Policy 1378 (outlined below).
Policy 1378 requires a building façade ‘break’ that measures 15 feet in width and 5 feet in depth for every 150 feet of linear building frontage. For example, if a building is 450 feet in length, two ‘breaks’ in the building face must be incorporated into the architectural design.
This policy ensures that large industrial buildings have movement and articulation and are not visually flat along their entire face. To prioritize truck safety, the applicant requests an amendment to this policy to remove the requirement for dock walls to incorporate minimum façade breaks through wall plane articulation. To support the shared goal of safety, staff have revised the policy language to allow for a broader range of architectural design elements aimed at reducing building massing and visual impacts. Rather than solely requiring façade breaks, the proposed amendment offers six alternative options to address the scale of expansive industrial buildings. Future developers will be required to implement any three of these options. Both the applicant team and staff agree on the revised amendment language.

The developer has requested thatthe TSSP be amended to alter these policies with flexible provisions.DISCUSSIONBackground:The Canon Station project is a diverse development proposal with a history thattraces back approximately 13 years. Initial planning for the project was completed as a part of theTSSP and approved by the City Council in July 2011. The TSSP provides a generalized set ofdevelopment policies, creating a framework for the overall land plan, circulation, and retailamenity hubs. Concurrent with the adoption of the TSSP, the council also certified anEnvironmental Impact Report (EIR) that evaluated the resource impacts of the project, includingdetailed studies of traffic, wetland, and habitat features among its contents.While the TSSP provides a broad framework for future development, it defers precise landplanning as a future action. To facilitate future planning, the TSSP land area is divided into10 separate “Planning Areas.” For each Planning Area (PA), the TSSP requires a “MasterPlanned Unit Development” (MPUD) permit as the bridge between the overall Specific Planand the more detailed subdivision/parcel maps and development entitlements. The MPUDpermit provides conceptual land use and circulation plans that refine the intent and purposeof the TSSP, as well as determine infrastructure phasing.At its meeting on August 23, 2023, the Planning Commission approved a request by CanonPartners, LLC for various entitlements to facilitate the development of PA6. Specifically, theMPUD permit, and associated Design Guidelines were approved. The PA6 master planincludes 4.6 million square feet of industrial development, 10,000 square feet of ‘incubatorspace,’ and 12,000 square feet of commercial space. The MPUD provides land use,circulation, utility, and design regulations for future development requests. The cohesiveDesign Guidelines highlight the project’s environmental compliance, fee and infrastructureobligations, maintenance responsibilities, and architecture and site design elements.Focusing on the design features, the Design Guidelines include directions on 1)architecture requirements; 2) master landscape plans; 3) signage; 4) lighting; and 5) masterwall and fencing plans. It should be noted that there are no buildings currently proposed forconstruction as part of the project.At its meeting on October 17, 2023, the City Council reviewed the subject TSSP policyamendment request. Consistent with the commission resolution, staff recommended thatthe amendments not be approved, in order to preserve the Specific Plan’s vision for highquality industrial architecture that supports manufacturing. The applicant team noted that theproperty configuration limited the ability to site 1 million square foot buildings in any otherdirection and that a single elevation plane is necessary for truck safety. After carefuldiscussion, the council directed staff to continue to work with the applicant on alternativepolicy language that would support both the aesthetic vision of the Specific Plan and theoperational desires of the applicant. TSSP Amendment:As directed, staff and the applicant team coordinate on revisions to theoriginal policy amendment request. The applicant is currently seeking two TSSP policyamendments focused on building configuration and architecture. The proposed policyamendments are detailed below, and the exact language is provided in the resolution attachment(Exhibit A).Policy 430 requires all development within PA6 to configure the loading areas and rearelevations of the buildings away from the primary streets, New Canon Road and NewMcCrory Road. In order to support large crossdocking facilities, the applicant requests thatthe policy be amended to allow loading areas to face the streets when necessary. Afterworking closely with the applicant team, staff supports the amendment request. This supportis based on the property's configuration challenges, the inclusion of a 6foot berm andextensive landscaping along New Canon Road and New McCrory Road as outlined in thePA6 Design Guidelines, the significant visual setback from Vanden Road, and consistencywith the proposed design language for Policy 1378 (outlined below).Policy 1378 requires a building façade ‘break’ that measures 15 feet in width and 5 feet indepth for every 150 feet of linear building frontage. For example, if a building is 450 feet inlength, two ‘breaks’ in the building face must be incorporated into the architectural design.This policy ensures that large industrial buildings have movement and articulation and arenot visually flat along their entire face. To prioritize truck safety, the applicant requests anamendment to this policy to remove the requirement for dock walls to incorporate minimumfaçade breaks through wall plane articulation. To support the shared goal of safety, staffhave revised the policy language to allow for a broader range of architectural designelements aimed at reducing building massing and visual impacts. Rather than solelyrequiring façade breaks, the proposed amendment offers six alternative options to addressthe scale of expansive industrial buildings. Future developers will be required to implementany three of these options. Both the applicant team and staff agree on the revisedamendment language.
