SUBJECT: WATER NEUTRALITY GROWTH ORDINANCE
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board of Directors of the Estero Municipal Improvement District (EMID) introduce by title only and waive further reading of an Ordinance adding a new Chapter 8.90, Water Neutrality Growth within Title 8, Water and Sewer Service of the EMID Code and finding the approval of the Ordinance exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15307.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On March 20, 2023, EMID Board approved Resolution No. 3713 directing staff to prepare an Ordinance implementing a Water Neutrality Growth Policy framework, as a long-term water demand management measure ( see Staff Report for March 20 meeting). The Ordinance is necessary to manage EMID’s potable water supply in the short and long term and to avoid or minimize the effects of drought and shortage within the EMID service area. The proposed Ordinance would apply to any new development(s), redevelopment(s), or change in use that will require a new water service from EMID or will increase water demand.
7.2 7.2 Staff Report
179
The City of Foster City prepared a Water Capacity Study (WCS) to inform the development of a draft Water Supply Assessment (WSA) for the 6 th Cycle (2023-31) Housing Element Update to accommodate 1,896 housing units, including a buffer, Safety Element Update and associated General Plan and zoning amendments. The WCS concluded that EMID’s water supplies are, or will be, insufficient during single-dry and multiple dry water years to meet the future housing units planned for in the 6 th Cycle Housing Element Update. Per Water Code Section 10911, EMID must consider this projected water supply insufficiency and provide the City with its plans to acquire and develop additional water supplies when it considers the Housing Element. The State’s mandate that the City plan for its fair share of the regional housing needs over the next eight (8) years as part of the RHNA Cycle 6 and the inadequate water supply to support housing is a burdensome challenge.
EMID has and will continue to implement water demand management measures to address supply shortfalls by reducing existing potable demand and exploring opportunities to use recycled water. In order to reduce the future demand for water from new growth or expanded redevelopment projects, the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for the Housing and Safety Element identified a Water Neutrality Growth Policy as a mitigation measure (see Page 29 of Draft EIR).
BACKGROUND
The City has been working on a Program EIR for the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), implementing the CEQA Guidelines, relevant case law, and City procedures. Per Water Code Section 10912, a WSA is required for a proposed residential development of more than 500 dwelling units.
The City prepared the WCS to inform the development of WSA, which concluded that there is not “sufficient water supply” (per Government Code 66473.7 (a)(2)) available to meet the demands of the 2023-2031 Housing Element, in addition to the existing and planned future uses evaluated in this WCS, during single-dry and multiple dry water years within a 20-year projection (per Senate Bill (SB) 610, the WSA should include a 20-year projection).
EMID is coordinating with the City of San Mateo, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), and Bay Area Water Supply & Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) to assess potential options for producing and using recycled water in the future to assist with offsetting future potable water demand from new developments and/or redevelopment of existing sites. Recently, EMID updated its Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) and will continue to invest in and implement ongoing and long-term demand management measures. A long-term demand management measure for EMID identified in DEIR is a Water Neutrality Growth Policy for all new development(s), redevelopment, or changes in use that increase water demand to ensure that efforts are taken to address the shortage at a project level as the City continues to explore ways to maintain and increase supply.
7.2 7.2 Staff Report

ANALYSIS
At the March 20, 2023, meeting, staff noted to the EMID Board that the estimated net water demand from the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update and the net demand from the existing and planned future uses evaluated in the WCS would exacerbate EMID’s existing projected water supply shortfall during single and multiple dry years. Even though EMID has recently updated its WSCP along with the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) update, which will further reduce demand during dry years, additional measures such as the “Water Neutrality Growth” will be required to offset future water demands from eligible projects.
EMID Board, via Resolution No. 3713 (Attachment 2), directed staff to prepare an Ordinance implementing a Water Neutrality Growth Policy framework. At the meeting, the EMID Board directed including Accessory Dwelling Units ADUs in the policy framework and to consider not penalizing the property owners/development(s) who are undertaking water conservation efforts at their project sites to achieve water neutrality.
Subsequent to the March 20, 2023, meeting, staff worked with Maddaus Water Management, Inc. (Maddaus) to develop the Ordinance based on the approved policy framework requiring proposed new development(s), redevelopment(s), or change in use projects to be water-neutral (from the City-delivered water system) through any combination of on-site and/or off-site water offset measures within the EMID service area boundary (consists of Foster City and a portion of the City of San Mateo immediately adjacent to the west, referred to as the Mariners Island area).
The proposed Ordinance (Attachment 1) requires water neutrality to be demonstrated through quantitative water analysis of the project based on the following calculations:
1. Request the baseline water demand from EMID (5-year average).
2. Calculate indoor and outdoor water allocations for the project site based on occupancy. If the project site’s water demand/usage is less than the allocations, the applicant will get a water conservation credit toward new water demand.
3. Calculate projected water demand.
4.Apply water conservation credit as applicable.
5. Establish new water demand/water offset requirements using the formula below.
New Water Demand = Projected Water Demand – (Baseline Water Demand + Water Conservation Credit)
The new water demand would establish the water offset requirement for the project. The applicant is required to offset the new water demand using on-site and/or off-site measures within the EMID service area boundary. While the formula may appear straightforward, there is significant administrative overhead involved in reviewing projects and the quantitative water analysis information to determine the level of effort for these projects to offset water demand either onsite or offsite.
7.2 7.2 Staff Report
181
As directed by the EMID Board, the proposed Ordinance gives water conservation credit to a project site which utilizes water below their indoor and outdoor water allocations. The conservation credit, if applicable, would lower the water offset requirement for that project site. These calculations would be part of the quantitative analysis that is discussed above.
The proposed Ordinance does provide certain exceptions, including projects with executed Development Agreements, projects for single family residential dwelling units, projects for single family ADUs, projects for which planning entitlements have already been approved and certain Tenant Improvements such as those that do not result in construction of new square footage or change in use that requires Planning Commission and/or City Council discretionary actions. With regards to the exception for ADUs, Government Code section 65852, subdivision (e) provides for a statewide exemption for ADUs up to 800 square feet in single-family homes. Based on the average number of ADUs permitted in the City over the last 3 years, the Draft Housing Element includes a projection of 24 ADUs over the course of the 8-year planning period from 2023-2031.
Given the nominal increase in projected ADUs, the ministerial approval process, expedited timelines for review, the administrative overhead (as discussed above) and State laws, staff is recommending that single family ADUs (regardless of the size) should be exempt from the Ordinance. However, in response to the direction provided by the EMID Board to take ADUs into consideration, the requirements of the Ordinance would apply to multi-family ADUs. Multi-family ADUs are typically proposed in underutilized spaces at existing apartment developments. Staff believes that there could be opportunities for water conservation measures at these sites and therefore, recommends including multi-family ADUs in the Water Neutrality Ordinance.
In addition, the proposed Ordinance includes provisions for compliance, verification at certain permitting stages, monitoring of five (5) years after issuance of the Final Certificate of Occupancy permit, and enforcement. The administering and implementing of the Ordinance would require staff time, and the Ordinance includes a potential future administrative fee. However, no fee amount has been set, and any new future fees would be brought to the EMID Board and City Council for consideration prior to formal adoption.
After the adoption of the Ordinance, staff would work on a technical guide based on the provisions of the proposed Ordinance for the applicants to include instructions on calculations, implementation, and monitoring requirements (i.e., submittal criteria, responsible authority, etc.).
CEQA
This Ordinance is not subject to review under CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq. and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000 et. seq.), Section 15307 (Class 7), because this is an action by a regulatory agency authorized by state law to assure the protection of natural resources.
7.2 7.2 Staff Report
182
FISCAL IMPACT
Any costs associated with water demand offset measures required as a result of this Ordinance would be borne by the applicant. There will be staff time spent on providing historic average annual water demand and verifying the calculations provided by the applicant to demonstrate neutral water demand. Staff has included in the Ordinance language regarding assessing an administrative fee to cover the cost related to staff time.
The fee will be brought for EMID’s consideration and approval at a future meeting.

NOW THEREFORE, THE EMID BOARD OF DIRECTORS DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Amendment. Chapter 8.90 of the EMID Code is hereby added to Title 8, Water and Sewer Service, to read in its entirety as follows:
“Chapter 8.90
WATER NEUTRALITY GROWTH ORDINANCE
8.90.010 Title.
The ordinance codified in this Chapter shall be known and may be cited as the “Estero Municipal Improvement District (EMID) Water Neutrality Growth Ordinance.”
8.90.020 Purpose.
This Chapter is adopted in light of the following facts and circumstances, which are hereby found and declared by the District Board:
A. A reliable minimum supply of potable water is essential to the public health, safety and welfare of the people and economy of the Estero Municipal Improvement District (EMID).
B. EMID contracts for water from the San Francisco Public Utility Commission
7.2 Attachment 1 - EMID Ordinance
185
6 8
7 (SFPUC) Regional Water System (RWS) as a contractual member of the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA). This contracted supply of water has been documented in the Estero Municipal Improvement District’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) as insufficient to meet the additional demands of new development without offset during drought years.
C. Supply sufficiency is required to continue to add new development that exceeds existing water demand. Any new development under these conditions that would increase the demand on EMID’s water supply increases risk to the public health, safety, and general welfare should water use exceed the existing historical water demand.
D. In order to ensure the availability of water for residential, commercial, and other purposes, for present as well as for future use, it is necessary that the increase in water usage in the areas defined herein be managed to the most efficient extent practicable.
E. The adoption and enforcement of this Chapter is necessary to manage the EMID’s potable water supply in the short and long term and to avoid or minimize the effects of drought and shortage within the EMID service area.
F. EMID has the power to perform all acts necessary to carry out fully the provisions of Water Code Section 31001, may establish rules and regulations for the distribution and use of water supplies (Water Code Section 31024), may adopt and enforce a comprehensive water conservation program to reduce potable water consumption and conserve supplies (Water Code Section 375), and may require as a condition of new service that reasonable water-saving devices and water reclamation devices be installed to reduce water use (Water Code Section 31035).
8.90.030 Applicability.
A. The provisions of this Chapter shall apply to projects submitted on or after July 1, 2023 within the EMID service area that will require a new water service from EMID or will increase water demand on the project site above the baseline water demand.
8.90.040 Exemptions.
A. The provisions of this Chapter shall not apply to:
1. Projects with executed Development Agreements as of the effective date of this ordinance that identify a mandatory allocated water supply from EMID.
2. Projects for Single family residential dwelling units.
3. Projects for Single family accessory dwelling units (ADU).
4. Projects for which planning entitlements were Approved by the City of Foster City prior to the effective date of this ordinance.
5. Tenant improvements that are not a project or do not result in construction of new square footage or change in use that requires City of Foster City Planning

8.90.050 Definitions.
A. “Active meter” – When water has been supplied through an EMID water meter serving the project site for at least 12 consecutive months within the 5 years prior to the date the first application is filed, the baseline water demand will be equivalent to the average annual water use over the previous 5 years from the date the project is submitted.
B. “Applicant” – The person making application for a project defined under this Chapter.
C. “Baseline Water Demand” – The historic five-year average annual water demand of the project site in Acre Feet per Year (AFY) or Gallons per Year (GPY) as determined by whether the project site has been served by an active or inactive EMID water meter.
D. “Change in use” – New proposed building or land uses that replace the existing uses on the project site.
E. “Customer” – Any person receiving services from and therefore obligated to make payments to the EMID for those services.
F. “Development” – New structure(s) or building(s) with indoor plumbing fixtures.
G. “Director” - The EMID Public Works Director or their designee(s).
H. “Inactive meter” – When water supply through an EMID water meter is available to serve the project site, however, no water has registered from the water meter serving the project site for 12 consecutive months in the 5 years prior to the date the first application is filed for the proposed project, the baseline water demand will be the 5-year annual average water use of properties in the same customer class as the project site’s existing use or previously existing use with the same water meter size, or as alternatively defined in the EMID technical guidance.
I. “Indoor water allocation” – The indoor water allocation for existing residential developments on the project site will be calculated by multiplying the person per unit occupancy value and the gallons per capita per day (GPCD) provided by EMID. For the basis of indoor use for existing non-residential developments on the project site, the applicant will adhere to the Director’s approved technical implementation guide or other applicable application guidelines that address the unique, site-specific characteristics of the existing project site.
J. “Manager” the EMID Manager or their designee(s).
K. “New water demand” – The net increase in annual water demand, in AFY or GPY, for a proposed project calculated by subtracting the proposed project’s projected

195
EMID Resolution No. 3713
Exhibit A: Water Neutrality Growth Policy Framework
Introduction
The City of Foster City, is preparing a Program Environmental Impact Report for the 2023- 31 Housing Element Update in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA), implementing the CEQA Guidelines, relevant case law, and City procedures. Per Water Code Section 10912, a Water Supply Assessment ( WSA) is required for a proposed residential development of more than 500 dwelling units. The City prepared a Water Capacity Study ( WCS) to inform the development of WSA for 6th Cycle Housing Element Update to verify whether the systems can accommodate a proposed development, and if not, they help identify needed improvements that would allow a development project to move forward.
The Estero Municipal Improvement District ( EMID) service area consists of the City of Foster City and a portion of the City of San Mateo immediately adjacent to the west, referred to as the Mariners Island area. EMID purchases all of its potable water from the San Francisco Public Utility Commission ( SFPUC) Regional Water System ( RWS) as a contractual member of the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency ( BAWSCA), which represents the 26 member agencies that purchase wholesale water supplies from the SFPUC. EMID receives the already- treated water from SFPUC and distributes it to its customers. As a retailer, EMID has no direct control over its water supply and treatment and relies solely on SFPUC.
The WCS concluded that there is not “sufficient water supply” ( per Government Code 664737. 7 a)(2)) available to meet the demands of the 2023- 2031 Housing Element, in addition to the existing and planned future uses evaluated in this WCS, during single- dry and multiple dry water years within a 20- year projection. The WCS included that EMID shall consider this projected insufficiency and may take measures, if and when that becomes necessary, to acquire and develop those water supplies. In addition, the EMID 2020 Urban Water management Plan UWMP) notes that EMID has no approved plans for acquiring additional water supplies as a retailer.
The State’s mandate for cities to plan for its fair share of regional housing needs over the next eight ( 8) years as part of the RHNA Cycle 6 and the inadequate water supply to support housing is a burdensome challenge. The Draft EIR identified the adoption of a Water Neutrality Growth Policy framework as a mitigation measure to address supply shortfalls and to offset new water future demands.
The Water Neutrality Growth Policy Framework ( Policy) would require new development( s), redevelopment, or change in use within the EMID service area that will require a new water service from the EMID or will increase water demand above the existing water demand level to offset the projected new water demand with water efficiency/ conservation/ retrofit measures to create a neutral ( or net zero) impact on the overall site ( or account) water use demand.
The Policy would involve comparing the property’s Baseline Water Demand ( provided by EMID staff) to the applicant’s calculated Projected Water Demand to demonstrate a zero- water use increase for the proposed development.
The Policy serves as the direction from the City of Foster City Council to prepare an Ordinance to implement regulations requiring new development( s), redevelopment or change in use that will require a new water service from the EMID or will increase water demand above the Baseline Water Demand to offset the New Water Demand with water efficiency measures to create a neutral ( or net zero) impact on the overall site ( or account) water use demand.

7.2 Attachment 2 - Resolution 3713 Water Neutrality Growth Policy Framework
196
EMID Resolution No. 3713
Applicability
The Policy would apply to:
New developments ( excluding single- family and ADUs)
Redevelopment
Change in use
Process for Demonstrating Water Neutrality
Step 1: Obtain Baseline Water Demand for the subject property.
EMID staff would provide the applicant with the existing property’s Baseline Water Demand which is the average water use over the previous five- years from the date the building permit application was submitted. This would be the baseline to compare the Projected Water Demand. Where no water data is available, the Baseline Water Demand would be the five- year average of properties in the same customer class as the existing use or previously existing use with the same meter size, as determined by EMID staff.
Step 2: Calculate and provide a Projected Water Demand at the time of planning entitlements.
The applicant would provide a Projected Water Demand as part of the entitlements. Projected Water Demand refers to the total amount of projected water demand for the proposed new development.
Step 3: Calculate and provide a New Water Demand at the time of building permit submittal.
If the proposed development has revisions from the approved set of plans from entitlements, the applicant would provide a revised Projected Water Demand spreadsheet during the plan check submittal to the Building Division. The applicant would also submit a calculated New Water Demand which is the Baseline Water Demand less the Projected Water Demand:
New Water Demand = Baseline Water Demand – Projected Water Demand If a development is designed to use no more water than the property’s Baseline Water Demand, the project’s New Water Demand would be approved. However, if the Projected Water Demand exceeds the property’s Baseline Water Demand, the applicant will propose onsite and/ or offsite water efficiency/ conservation/ retrofit measures to offset the New Water Demand.
Step 4: Complete onsite and/ or offsite water efficiency measures to offset the New Water Demand.
Onsite Water Efficiency Measures
The applicant would be required to implement onsite water efficiency measures to offset the New Water Demand. This may include, but is not limited to, the following measures:
Using alternative water sources such as graywater or rainwater.
Instant hot water heaters.
Pressure Reducing Valves ( PRVs) to prevent the higher pressure from rupturing valves or pipes.
Installing ultra- high efficiency plumbing fixtures and appliances that exceed current regulatory flow rates.

197
EMID Resolution No. 3713
Covers for swimming pools and spas.
Automatic- fill valves would not be used with water features, including but not limited to swimming pools and ponds.
With regard to building and landscape design and operation, the applicant would still be required to comply with existing EMID and City of Foster City regulations including:
Foster City Code Chapter 13. 12 Stormwater Management and Discharge Control EMID Code Chapter 8.60 Water Conservation and Rationing EMID Code Chapter 8.70 Indoor Water Use Efficiency
EMID Code Chapter 8.80 Outdoor Water Conservation in Landscaping Off- Site Water Efficiency Measures
If a new development is designed with all practical onsite water efficiency measures and additional New Water Demand is still projected, the applicant would be required to explore off- site water efficiency measures to achieve water neutrality. The applicant may conduct off- site water efficiency measures including, but not limited to, direct installation of ultra- high- efficiency toilets and other plumbing fixtures, turf replacement, and commercial, institutional, industrial appliance upgrades within the EMID service area.
Development of the Water Neutrality Growth Ordinance will codify the regulatory framework described in the Policy, and guidelines will be developed to provide applicants with clear implementation steps.

DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUBJECT: 2023 CITY COUNCIL VISION AND POLICY SUMMIT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council, by Minute Order, receive and accept the report affirming City Council Vision and Mission Statement and Goals for the year 2023.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Defining the vision, mission and goals as part of a strategic planning exercise is important for the success of any organization. In local governments, this takes on a particularly important role where the function of the elected leaders is to identify what they believe is important for the Community, and then to equip city staff to achieve and deliver on those goals for the Community. An effective strategic planning process both informs city staff about the priorities of the City Council they serve and helps Councilmembers agree on shared values, priorities, and vision for the city they serve.
Following the City Council Vision & Policy Summit that was held on Jan 30, 2023, City staff and consultant developed a 2023 Goals and Objectives Work Plan (Attachment 1) that includes an updated Council Vision and Mission Statement and Goals for the year 2023. Input from the Executive Leadership Team and citywide projects/initiatives that aligns with Council Goals for 2023 was built into the report. These are identified as Metrics/Outcome/Deliverables under each goal. It is worthwhile to note that some of the initiatives identified in the work plan are a multi-year effort. However, only those initiatives/projects that can be realistically delivered this year have been incorporated into the report.
8.1 8.1 Staff Report

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Every year, the City Council holds a Vision & Policy Summit to affirm their vision, mission and goals for the year. The Vision & Policy Summit helps staff to identify and prioritize projects and initiatives that will be undertaken over the course of the year.
A majority of City resources are used to deliver core governmental services. These day- to-day operations provided by a combination of approximately 160 full time staff and 60 part time staff and SMC Fire ensure that Foster City residents and businesses receive high-quality and exceptional services that promote the health, safety, welfare, and vitality of the Community. These core department functions continue to stand independent of those projects/initiatives that are identified as a result of the strategic planning process.
This year’s Vision & Policy Summit was held on January 30, 2023. The City of Foster City engaged Tripepi Smith to lead the strategic planning process for this year. The primary objective of a strategic planning process is to establish a clear set of goals and expectations that help in prioritizing and aligning the City’s resources to that of the City Council’s goals for the organization and the community. The process included interviews with the City Manager, an online questionnaire for Councilmembers, individual follow-up interviews with each Councilmember, and an in-person goal and strategic planning session. During the strategic planning session, the City Council reviewed the current Vision Statement, Mission Statement and Strategic Priorities, and engaged in a discussion to establish actionable items that would identify the strategic priorities and goals as successful.
In 2022, the City Council reconfirmed and adopted its Vision and Mission, along with its Strategic Value/Priority Areas as established in the year 2021. The City did not identify specific goals associated with these general strategic priorities. City staff then developed a summary document that identified key policy items for City staff to prioritize and build into its work plan and a list of actions/tasks to undertake. The City Council welcomed two new Councilmembers to the City Council in November 2022. Councilmembers Kiesel and Jimenez had not been involved in the prior strategic planning and goal setting process, so this effort also served as an opportunity for the new Councilmembers to share their thoughts through the process.
The City Council adopted 2022 Vision Statement reads as follows:
Create a sustainable Foster City through smart, inclusive, and efficient actions to enhance our quality of place for current and future generations.
Though the Council deemed this Vision Statement as sufficient, there was an expressed desire to modify the current language and update the Vision Statement to better reflect Foster City and its community.
8.1 8.1 Staff Report

The City Council adopted 2022 Mission Statement reads as follows:
The mission of the City of Foster City is to deliver equitable services that are customer-focused with an emphasis on public safety, neighborhood livability, smart planning, a vibrant economy, infrastructure improvements, innovation, and a sustainable environment. In pursuit of this mission, we use community engagement and data to make decisions and measure progress based on economic, social, and environmental factors.
Similar to the Vision Statement, the City Council generally felt the existing Mission was sufficient but expressed interest in further defining terms and modifying the language.
The City Council adopted 2022 Strategic Priorities and Value Areas are:
▪FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE: Maintain a standard of excellence with regards to infrastructure, including streets, lagoon, levee, parks, water supply system, wastewater system, storm water collection system, and City facilities to preserve and enhance quality of life for future generations. ▪SMART PLANNING, DEVELOPMENT, AND THE LOCAL ECONOMY: Create a long-term vision that protects, maintains, and enhances our community character through thoughtful planning and economic development policies. ▪CITY COUNCIL OPERATIONS AND IMPROVED COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT: The City Council operates at the highest level of civil discourse, encouraging resident engagement and full transparency.
▪INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY: Continue to lead in employing modern solutions to current day problems with a focus on and consideration of climate change.
▪PUBLIC SAFETY AND SOCIAL EQUITY: Continue to promote diversity and inclusive policies within the City organization and seek social equity in all City policies including public safety.
▪STAFF EMPOWERMENT AND OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE: The staff of Foster City is committed to and takes pride in proactively providing exceptional service to our community.
While the Council generally felt like these priorities identified for 2022 were still relevant for 2023, there was overall agreement that the Priorities were reflective of the values of the Organization and not particularly goal oriented. As such, Tripepi Smith proposed that these be adopted as general Values of the organization with a separate list of Goals to be developed based on the 1-on-1 interviews and feedback during the facilitated discussions. Additionally, of note is that the adopted Priority area of Innovation and
8.1 8.1 Staff Report
201
Sustainability was deemed a bit disconnected, and a desire was expressed to separate the two items into its own Value statements.
Finally, where possible, staff has identified measurable outcomes connected to the established goals and priorities.
The document is not meant to be all inclusive or to exclude work that does not fall directly under the Goals. Rather, the document is meant to keep the organization focused and outcomes based. On occasion, new projects/initiatives may emerge, and City Council may direct or ask City staff to consider adding to its work plan as certain items may result in a greater benefit to the City. Based on Council direction, the City Manager will prioritize the workplan based on available City and staff resources, coordinating realignment of priorities as necessary to advance any particular items.

In calendar year 2022, Audit Committee, in its 3 rd and last of the three-year term, was chaired by Michael Barry and worked closely with the Foster City Finance Team led by Edmund Suen, the city’s independent auditors Maze & Associates, and City Council liaison Patrick Sullivan.
Audit Plan Discussion
The Audit Committee began the first meeting of the year by discussing the audit plan for the upcoming fiscal year. This included a review of the scope and objectives of the audit, as well as the identification of high-risk areas that would require special attention. The committee emphasized the importance of a risk-based approach to the audit, which would allow for the efficient allocation of resources and focus on areas of highest concern. The committee members also stressed the importance of maintaining open lines of communication with the city finance team and the external auditors throughout the audit process to ensure a smooth and successful audit.
Review of Completed Audit
Committee members reviewed the completed audit report presented by the external auditors. The report included findings on the city's financial position, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and the effectiveness of internal controls. The committee was pleased to note that there were no significant findings or material weaknesses identified during the audit. The committee and auditors commended the city finance team for their diligent work and effective management of the city's financial resources.

Internal Processes and Controls
A key area of discussion during the year was the evaluation of the city's internal processes and controls. The committee members and the city finance team engaged in constructive dialogues regarding the design and implementation of internal controls to ensure the reliability of financial reporting and compliance with laws and regulations. The committee emphasized the importance of continuous improvement in this area and encouraged the city finance team to identify any areas where improvements could be made.
Impact of Increasing Interest Rates
The Audit Committee also discussed the potential impact of increasing interest rates on the city's financial position with the auditors. The auditors provided their insights on the possible effects of rising interest rates on the city's debt and investment portfolios, as well as any implications for budget planning and financial management. The discussion, however, remained inconclusive, as the ultimate impact of interest rate changes would depend on various factors, including the timing and magnitude of the rate increases, as well as the city's specific financial circumstances.
Mission Statement
The committee was satisfied with the mission statement determined by the previous Audit Committee: “To provide insights, advice and support into audit, governance, and other relevant fiscal matters appropriate to the oversight, operational and fiduciary responsibilities of the City Council and the Estero Municipal Improvement District Board of Directors.” CY2023 Goals

Conclusion
In conclusion, the Audit Committee had a productive year that covered a range of important topics related to the city's financial management and audit processes. The committee expressed confidence in the city finance team's ability to manage the city's financial resources effectively and transparently and looks forward to continuing its oversight role in the future. I would like to thank the members who have raised their hand to participate in our city's governance processes.

SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FOSTER CITY AMENDING SECTION 12.40.080 PERMIT—RENEWAL, OF CHAPTER 12.40
WORK WITHIN PUBLIC PLACES, OF TITLE 12 PUBLIC
PROPERTY OF THE FOSTER CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO SET
THE FEE BY COUNCIL RESOLUTION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council introduce by title only and waive further reading of the attached ordinance amending section 12.40.080, Permit-Renewal, of Chapter
12.40, Work Within Public Places of Title 12, Work Within Public Places, of Title 12, Public Property of the Foster City Municipal Code to set the fee by Council Resolution.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Encroachment Permits are used by the City to regulate the process by which private entities can operate in the public right-of-way. Fees are established to recover the cost of administering the permits and inspecting the work.
While most Encroachment Permit Fees can be set by City Resolution, the fee for renewing expiring Encroachment Permits was set by ordinance.
Aligning the Encroachment Permit Renewal Fee with the other Encroachment Permit Fees in the Master Fees and Service Charges Schedule would be less confusing and
9.1 9.1 Staff Report
219
more transparent for both staff and the public and would provide flexibility in the event that the City Council wishes to amend the fee in future.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Chapter 12.40 Work Within Public Places was added to the Foster City Municipal Code in 1972 and generally regulates the process by which private entities can operate in the public right-of-way. This regulation is important in order to maintain public safety and to ensure that the City’s infrastructure is not damaged or otherwise harmed.
The major mechanism by which this work is regulated is through Encroachment Permits, which are issued and monitored by the Public Works Department. Fees are established to recover the cost of administering the permits and inspecting the work.
The Municipal Code allows most Encroachment Permit Fees to be set by City Council Resolution. These fees are then included in the Master Fees and Service Charges Schedule and reviewed annually and adjusted if necessary. However, the fee for renewing expiring Encroachment Permits, which can be found at Foster City Municipal Code section 12.40.080, was set by ordinance at ten percent (10%) of the original permit fee. As such, the fee for renewing expiring Encroachment Permits can only be adjusted through an ordinance amendment.
During the preparation of the User Fee Study, staff recommended that the fee be adjusted from ten percent (10%) to fifteen percent (15%). This adjustment was included in the recommended User Fees which was reviewed by the City Council on April 10, 2023. It was highlighted as a “new” fee in the User Fee Study, although, as stated, this fee has been in place since 1972, but not in the Master Fees and Service Charges Schedule.
Regardless of whether the City Council chooses to increase the fees for Encroachment Permit renewals for Fiscal Year 2023-2024, staff believes that amending the ordinance to align the Encroachment Permit Renewal Fee with the other Encroachment Permit Fees in the Master Fees and Service Charges Schedule would be less confusing and more transparent for both staff and the public and would provide flexibility in the event that the City Council wishes to amend the fee in future. Attachment 2 shows the recommended, “red-lined” amended language in the context with other related sections.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
This Ordinance is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq. and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000 et. seq.), including without limitation, Public Resources Code section 21065 and California Code of Regulations 15378 as this is not

a “project” that may cause a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact to making this ordinance amendment. However, moving this fee to the Master Fee Schedule will allow for it to be adjusted more readily which could have a minor effect on future revenues.

DEPARTMENT: Police
SUBJECT: AB 481 MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2022
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive and review the Foster City Police Department (the “Department”) 2022 Annual Military Equipment Report (Attachment 2) and adopt a resolution renewing Ordinance No. 647 regarding Police Department acquisition and use of military equipment pursuant to Assembly Bill 481 and Government Code Section 7070 et seq. and approving the Military Equipment Use Policy (“Policy 709”).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
California Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481), the California Government Code (Gov. Code § 7070 et seq.), and Policy 709, requires that the Department submit an annual military equipment report to the legislative body, and for the Department to hold a well- publicized community engagement meeting, at which the general public may discuss and ask questions regarding the annual military equipment report, including the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment. This agenda item accomplishes that meeting.
In addition, Government Code section 7071(e)(1) requires that the legislative body review the ordinance that adopted Policy 709 and vote on whether to renew it annually.
10.1 10.1 Staff Report
226
The City Council shall review the ordinance adopting Foster City Police Department Policy 709, Military Equipment (“Policy 709” or “Military Equipment Policy”) and vote on whether to renew the ordinance by resolution.
The City Council shall make its determination based on the Military Equipment Annual Report. The Council is to consider whether the military equipment complied with the standards of use authorized, or if the military equipment identified in the report did not comply with the standards set forth and to either disapprove a renewal of the authorization for that type of equipment or require modifications to the policy that will resolve the lack of compliance.
BACKGROUND
On September 30, 2021, AB 481 was signed into law. Subsequently, California Government Code Sections 7070 et seq. was adopted to codify the requirements set forth in AB 481. (Collectively referred to as “Applicable State Laws.”) Accordingly, the Department presented Policy 709 and a list of Military Equipment, (as defined by Government Code section 7070) to the City Council on April 18, 2022, where the City Council did review and voted to approve the Policy by Ordinance. A second reading was held on May 2, 2022, and Ordinance No. 647 was adopted.
The Applicable State Law and Policy 709 require that the Police Department now present an annual report regarding the use of the military equipment in the previous year. During the review, the City Council is directed to review the report to either disapprove a renewal of the authorization for a type of military equipment or amend the military equipment use policy if it determines that the military equipment use did not comply with the above-described standards for approval. And thereafter, the City Council is to review Ordinance No. 647, and vote on whether to renew it, by Resolution.
As discussed below, the Foster City Police Department did not deploy any military equipment in the preceding year, and thus, the use of the equipment has met the standards authorized by the Council in Ordinance 647 and Policy 709, and the Department recommends that the Council vote to renew Ordinance No. 647.
ANALYSIS
2022 Annual Military Equipment Report
Pursuant to Applicable State Law and Policy 709, the Department has prepared an annual report on its military equipment. The Annual Military Equipment Report includes the following information:
(1) A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use.
10.1 10.1 Staff Report
227
(2) A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment.
(3) The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the military equipment use policy, and any actions taken in response. (4) The total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs, and from what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the calendar year following submission of the annual military equipment report.
(5) The quantity possessed for each type of military equipment. (6) If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment.
(Gov. Code, § 7072)
California Government Code Section 7070 and Policy 709 provides a list of sixteen (16) types of equipment that are to be considered “Military Equipment”. Of the sixteen (16) types of equipment specified, the Police Department possesses only three (3) types.
Equipment types that the Police Department possesses and information on each in regards to the Annual Report is described below and detailed in the attached Annual Report.
Specialized firearms and ammunition of less than .50 caliber, including assault weapons as defined in Sections 30510 and 30515 of the Penal Code, with the exception of standard issue service weapons and ammunition of less than .50 caliber that are issued to officers, agents, or employees of a law enforcement agency or a state agency.
The Department did not use this equipment in the preceding year and thus complied with the standards of Policy 709. The Department did not receive any complaints or have any reports of any internal audits regarding this equipment. Details as to the costs and quantity possessed can be found in the attached annual report. The Department does not intend to acquire additional equipment of this type at this time. “Flashbang" grenades and explosive breaching tools, "tear gas," and "pepper balls," excluding standard, service-issued handheld pepper spray.

It is important to note that NCR SWAT is generally only deployed in extreme circumstances such as active shooter incidents, hostage situations, and the execution of high-risk search and arrest warrants. The equipment NCR SWAT possesses is rarely deployed but could prove essential to emergency operations when needed.

Renewal of Ordinance
Government Code section 7071(e)(1) requires that the City Council shall review any ordinance that it adopted approving the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment at least annually, and vote on whether to renew the ordinance at a regular meeting. In considering whether to renew the Ordinance, the City Council shall determine based on the annual military equipment report submitted pursuant to Section 7072, whether each type of military equipment identified in that report has complied with the standards for approval. If the governing body determines that a type of military equipment identified in that annual military equipment report has not complied with the standards for approval, the governing body shall either disapprove a renewal of the authorization for that type of military equipment or require modifications to the military equipment use policy in a manner that will resolve the lack of compliance.
As detailed in the annual report, and above, the Department met the standards for use of the military equipment described in Policy 709. Although the Department did not deploy any such equipment, nor did NCR SWAT, continuing to have access to such equipment is vital to the Department in the event exigent circumstances occur. In such
10.1 10.1 Staff Report
231
situations, there is sometimes need to deploy military equipment to promote safety and security of the community. The Department has exhibited its ability to judiciously utilize such equipment. As such, the Department recommends that the City Council vote to renew Ordinance No. 647.
