SUBJECT: CHANGING CANDIDATE STATEMENT DEPOSIT AMOUNT TO $900 AND INCLUDE ALL LANGUAGE TRANSLATIONS AS
REQUIRED BY LAW
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution repealing City Resolution No. 2015-50 to change the candidate statement deposit amount from $400 to $900 to bear all costs associated with candidate statements, including all language translation as required by law, in sample ballots for the 2024 election cycle and future election years.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Candidates who wish to file a statement of qualification/candidate statement must pay a deposit with the City to cover the costs associated with printing and translating the candidate statements in sample ballots. The current deposit amount is $400 but in recent years, the cost of printing and translating candidate statements has increased and $400 no longer covers the entire cost. Changing the candidate statement deposit amount to $900 ensures all costs associated with candidate statements, including language translation as required by law, are adequately funded. The $900 also considers the increasing cost over future election cycles.
The resolution (Attachment 1) will change the deposit amount to $900 and will update guidelines for candidate statements to include all language translation as required by law, not limiting to only Spanish and Chinese translation.
6.3 6.3 Staff Report

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On June 1, 2015, City Resolution No. 2015-50 (Attachment 2) was approved which required candidates to pay a deposit of $400 to the City if they wish to file a statement of qualification/candidate statement. The deposit covers the cost of publication of Statement of Qualifications in sample ballots with San Mateo County (County), including the cost of translation into Spanish and Chinese.
The cost of printing and translating candidate statements with the County has significantly increased since 2015. The County is also mandated by the state to provide election information in Spanish and Chinese and in recent years, has included Tagalog.
In the 2020 election, the total cost to print, handle, translate, and mail candidate statements for each candidate was approximately $250. In the 2022 election, the total cost to print, handle, translate, and mail candidate statements for each candidate was approximately $550, a 120% increase from the previous election cycle.
Due to the increase in cost, the $400 deposit did not cover the cost per candidate. Staff had to wait until late December for the County to remit exact costs of translation and printing before being able to request additional funds from the candidates. Further, staff struggled to obtain the funds from some candidates in a timely manner.
The new deposit amount of $900 considers the increasing print and translation costs over the next election years and minimizes the need for staff to return to City Council before every election cycle for approval. Obtaining a larger deposit up front allows leeway in the event that the total cost per candidate statement increases and will also save staff time from needing to go back and ask candidates for additional funds. It is preferred to receive a deposit that covers all costs and remit a refund of unused funds as needed. By increasing the deposit from $400 to $900, staff is hoping that it will cover the increases for print and translations costs for the 2024 and 2026 election cycles, before staff needs to come back to Council for additional changes to the candidate statement deposit amount.
Pursuant to Elections Code Section 1337, candidates will receive a written notice once the City receives their payment stating that their deposit will cover an estimated cost for the candidate statement.
Any unused funds will be refunded to the candidate. Similarly, any overage of cost will be invoiced to the candidate.
California Environmental Quality Act
The approval of the attached Resolution 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.

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 fiscal impact to the City as the financial responsibility of the candidate statement is designated to the candidate.

SUBJECT: SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FOR
CONSULTING SERVICES FOR HOUSING ELEMENT
CERTIFICATION AND IMPLEMENTATION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached resolution approving a supplemental appropriation of $60,000 from General Plan Maintenance Fund 128 to Account 128-0838-419-42-51 for consulting services for continued assistance with Housing Element certification and implementation and finding the request exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b)(3).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In July 2022, the City submitted its first draft of the Housing Element Update to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for review. Since then, staff submitted two (2) formal revisions with the last submittal on May 26, 2023.
To date staff have received three (3) formal comment letters from HCD and since the last comment letter received on July 25, 2023, staff has met with HCD reviewer(s) four (4) times to discuss the revisions for Housing Element.
On August 19, 2013, the City Council approved an agreement with Urban Planning Partners, Inc (UPP) to provide planning consulting services (see item 5.3.2). Leslie Carmichael from UPP has been assisting staff with the update of the Housing Element 2023-31. The work was initially anticipated to be completed by May 2023 upon the
6.4 6.4 Staff Report

adoption of the Housing Element. However, HCD did not certify Foster City’s Housing Element and additional help from UPP staff is essential to achieve certification and implementation of the Housing Element. Thus, staff is requesting a supplemental appropriation of funds in the amount of $60,000 to the account 128-0838-419-42-51 to pay for consulting services for continued assistance with the Housing Element certification.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The City of Foster City has been diligently working on the Housing Element Update for more than three (3) years. After conducting an extensive analysis, incorporating substantial community input and ensuring compliance with various state laws, the City submitted its first draft to HCD for review in July 2022. Subsequently, City received its first comment letter from HCD on October 3, 2022.
Following this, significant changes were made in response to HCD and public comments, which were incorporated into the second draft dated February 16, 2023, On February 24, 2023, City submitted the revised draft of the Housing Element Update (second submittal) to HCD. After the 60-day review period, the City received a second comment letter on April 24, 2023. This led to another round of extensive analysis, revisions, and clean ups.
After these revisions, the draft Housing Element update was presented to the Planning Commission and City Council for adoption. On May 22, 2023, the City Council adopted a General Plan Amendment to rescind the 2015-2023 Housing Element and adopt the Housing Element of the General Plan for the period 2023-2031. Subsequently, on May 26, 2023, staff submitted its revised and adopted Housing Element (third submittal) for HCD’s review. HCD then sent a third comment letter on July 25, 2023.
Since the last HCD comment letter, staff have been informally collaborating with HCD reviewer(s) on further revisions to the adopted Housing Element, having met four (4) times with the reviewer and emailing multiple times for guidance. These meetings required a significant amount of staff and consultant time. Once the City receives an informal approval from the HCD reviewer that the proposed revisions are satisfactory, they need to be included in the formal Housing Element document. Additionally, once certified by HCD, staff along with the consultant will need to schedule Planning Commission and City Council public meetings for re-adoption of the Housing Element.
The Housing Element includes a wide range of policies and programs, most notably, Objective Design and Development Standards for multi-family and mixed-use developments (ODDS). Leslie Carmichael has been leading the efforts on ODDS and additional time and resources are needed to complete the work. Staff anticipates finalizing the ordinance for ODDS in the next 2-3 months.
As noted earlier, the work on the Housing Element began three (3) years ago. On

Staff applied and received approval for supplemental grant funds through the California Department of Housing and Community Development Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) program for updating the Housing Element in the amount of $150,000. The grant money was used to pay for consulting services for Housing Element work. After the adoption of the Housing Element in May 2023, staff sent a final close out report to HCD after receiving reimbursement for the grant money.
Foster City has a General Plan and Title 15 Building and Title 17 Zoning Ordinance Maintenance fee, which was established as part of the FY 2011-2012 budget. The fee provides funding for the unreimbursed State mandated costs of updating and maintaining the City’s General Plan, Title 15 Buildings and Construction Ordinance and Title 17 Zoning Ordinance Maintenance. The fee is collected at the time of building permit issuance and is based on the value of the application and provides a dedicated funding source for future General Plan updates and zoning and building code updates without relying on the General Fund. The fee was last updated on March 28, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, there is a projected amount of $1.9 million available in the General Plan Maintenance fund balance. Thus, staff is requesting a supplemental appropriation of $60,000 from said fund balance to account 128-0838-419-42-51 to continue the work on Housing Element certification and implementation.
Next Steps on the Housing Element
Incorporate all the proposed revisions per HCD’s comment letter dated July 25, 2023, to the adopted Housing Element and post if for a 7-day public review period. At the end of the public review period, submit the revised document to HCD for a formal review.
HCD has up to 60 days for review. HCD may have additional comments, in which case, staff and consultant will need to make further revisions and follow the process for a 7- day public review and formal submittal to HCD. If upon the formal submittal, HCD certifies Foster City’s Housing Element, staff will schedule two (2) public meetings, Planning Commission and City Council for re-adoption of the Housing Element. The work on the implementation of the Housing Element will continue for the cycle of the Housing Element and cities are required to submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) to HCD by April 1 every year.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CIP 301-716 consists of street rehabilitation and pavement maintenance on streets identified through analysis of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s (MTC) Pavement Management Program (PMP), and pathway restoration in parks identified by City Parks staff. The rehabilitation project will help to increase and maintain the City’s overall Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and the pathway restoration will improve the safety and enjoyment of parks for the public. Task Order BKF-2023-12 will provide the City with the needed technical assistance to prepare construction contract documents including roadway assessment, design services, and bid/construction support. The proposed fees in the amount of $144,868 have been reviewed by staff, negotiated and deemed appropriate based on the scope of services.
Funding in the amount of $1,800,000 has been budgeted and is available in the City CIP and Measure A funds. The City Council action will allow staff to award the project with anticipation of a roadway assessment during November 2023, bid package preparation from December 2023 to March 2024, and a tentative construction start date of May 2024. The timeline is necessary to ensure a construction period during the most ideal weather and logistical conditions.
BACKGROUND
Foster City has been recognized consistently by the MTC as having good overall street quality and as having one of the best maintained street systems in the MTC system.
The unit of measurement of this is PCI, which factors in pavement age, climate and precipitation, traffic loads, and available maintenance funding. As of the most recent MTC 2021 Pavement Conditions Summary, Foster City is at a “Good” PCI of 79, one point below “Very Good” PCI of 80.
CIP 301-716 is intended to repair/resurface public streets and improve the City’s PCI.
The streets selected for this CIP project will be determined primarily through the PMP analysis which is updated based on field inspection every two to three years. Locations identified include striping and signage improvements, utility adjustments if necessary, and the retrofitting of existing non-compliant curb ramps in conformance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Parks Pathway restoration is also included in CIP 301-716. Resurfacing park pathways will add surface life, enhance public safety, and prevent major repairs or replacements in the future.
As a Project condition of approval, payments are collected or rehabilitation of roads is performed by developers to offset the impacts to the City’s roadways resulting from construction vehicles on City streets. These street impact payments are reserved to be used to fund the City’s street rehabilitation program. Currently there is $678,247.48 in street impact payments that was previously collected as a result of Gilead Sciences, Inc. land development projects.

On July 18, 2022, the City Council/EMID Board adopted Resolution No. 2022-87 and 3665 and approved a Master Professional Civil Engineering Services Agreement with BKF Engineers under which the City/District can utilize professional on-call civil engineering services to carry out specific tasks with the approval of a Task Order by the City/District Manager or City Council/EMID Board (depending on the scope of the task) from July 18, 2022 through July 17, 2025. BKF Engineers was selected through a competitive process, in accordance with the City’s purchasing policy, and was selected to provide on-call Civil Engineering Services along with one other firm. BKF Engineers has worked on several projects with Foster City and is fully qualified to manage, design, and support CIP 301-716.
ANALYSIS
The project will address the repairs of portions of streets specifically identified by City Staff and through the findings of the initial roadway assessment phase and analysis of the City’s PMP, with consideration toward the following parameters:
•Overall benefit to PCI
•Anticipated budget constraints
•Required supporting infrastructure improvements such as curb ramps, and crosswalks
•Overall budget impacts of the identified improvements
•Opportunities or requirements to implement Green Infrastructure BKF will provide recommendations for type of treatment for the roadways identified for rehabilitation based on the existing condition. Normal repair methods include crack seal, slurry seal, dig-out repairs, and surface overlays. Curb ramp replacement, striping and signage improvements, and traffic control plans will be included where necessary.
This project will also address two specific areas identified by City staff as described below:
The first area consists of an analysis at the intersection of East Hillsdale Blvd at Center Park Lane. The bricks comprising the decorative intersection have been damaged over time due to heavy traffic flow. BKF will analyze the damage to the bricks and concrete subsurface and recommend appropriate rehabilitation action to upkeep the appearance of the intersection.
The second area includes grade corrections to the portion of Shell Boulevard around the driveway adjacent to Beach Park Elementary School to ensure proper drainage.
This scope of work includes detailed survey, grading, and surface drainage considerations. The San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District will be contributing funds for the corrections per term 4.b.iii. in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the School District and the City dated June 4, 2018.

Subject: Street Rehabilitation and Park Pathway Re storation Project (2023-2024)
Dear Laura:
BKF Engineers welcomes the opportunity to submit th is proposal for the following Street Rehabilitation Project. To arrive at the estimated effort required by our offi ce for this project, we have provided our understan ding of the project and outlined a proposed scope of services, assumptions, and associated fee. The project is discussed below.
I. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Foster City has been recognized consistently by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) as ha ving excellent overall street quality and as having one of the best maintained street systems in the MTC sy stem. The unit of measurement of this is Pavement Condition Index (PCI), which factors in pavement age, climate and precipitation, traffic loads, and available maintenance funding. As of the most recent MTC 2021 Paveme nt Conditions Summary, Foster City is at a “Good” PCI of 79, one point below “Very Good” PCI of 80.
This project is intended to repair/resurface public streets and improve the City’s PCI. The streets selected for this CIP project will be determined primarily through the Pavement Management Program (PMP) analysis which is updated based on field inspection every two to three years. The normal repair methods include crack seal, slurry seal, dig-out repairs, and surface overlays. This project will address the repairs of portions of streets specifically identified by City staff and through the findings of the initial Roadway Assessment phase.
It should be noted that some repairs may include improvements that disturb existing pavement beyond th e top of the base course. Any improvements to base rock will be subject to the Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) version
3.0 requirements for creating and/or replacing impervious surface and necessitate Green Infrastructure (GI). The threshold of this pavement maintenance and improvement of the base course is a contiguous 5,000 SF to trigger GI requirements. While portions of the scope have b een identified by City staff through the proposal process, the Roadway Assessment phase will identify additional areas for improvement. During the Roadway Assessment phase, GI design will be evaluated and incorporated if necessary, taking into consideration geometric layout, grading, overall feasibility with the budget, groundwater elevations, soil permeability and infiltration potential. It is BKF’s understanding that this project is first and foremost a pavement repair project to increase PCI and funding should be applied to pavement improvements as much as possible.
As identified by City staff, the project will specifically include an analysis of the existing conditions for the intersection of East Hillsdale and the entrance to Metro Center. The decorative pavement in this inter section is failing and would be repaired. Special consideration will be given to the sub-slab and existing patch es with temporary removal of topping pavers for inspection of the concrete sub-slab. The City has identified t hat the median noses be reduced to not extend into the cros swalk area along East Hillsdale.
EXHIBIT A
6.5 Attachment 2 - Task Order
40 October 16, 2023
This project will be combined and coordinated with the Parks Pathway restoration project which involves removing and replacing failed and root-damaged asph alt pathways, installing root barriers, slurry sealing, and striping as needed. Resurfacing park pathways will add surface life, enhance public safety, and prevent major repairs or replacements in the future. For budgetary purposes, we have assumed one sheet for each par k with a relative level of detail that will be appropriate. BKF will coordinate with the Parks Department on wh ich paths are to be removed and repaired with the Parks Pathway restoration project budget of up to $300,000.
Plans and design for the pavement rehabilitation will be comparable to recent previous plans (CIP 301-702 & 703).
The City sets aside $1.5M per year for street resurfacing. This project will include $1.5M in paving and up to an additional $300,000 in park pathway restoration. From evaluating pavement condition, to selecting resurfacing and rehabilitation solutions, to implementing the criteria for design, we will consult Caltrans guidelines and standards.
In order to identify appropriate street resurfacing measures, BKF will review the City’s available Pavement Management Plan to identify areas for improvement. Typically, many street segments could be crack and slurry sealed for acceptable service and longevity. However, to meet higher expectations, grind and overlays may be desired. Grind and overlay will be better implement ed on the more heavily travelled street sections and sections that may have utility trench patches. These areas may be more critically identified in order to further stretch the budget and improve overall PCI. If any streets indicate base failures, they would require dig-outs which can marked prior to work and included on the plans. We can include optional geotechnical borings to further evaluate locations of questionable pavement integrity and provide recommendations for specific pavement repair design.
Accompanying pavement resurfacing are adjustments o f traffic striping, pavement markings, and utilities to grade.
The City shall provide design considerations to incorporate enhanced traffic striping for pedestrians, bicycle facilities, and lane width adjustments. BKF will coordinate with the City if bike lanes are necessary for street sections identified for repair prior to enhancement design. This is an opportune time to connect with the bicycle and pedestrian groups and committees.
With certain pavement rehabilitation projects, curb ramp and crosswalk accessibility compliance are re quired. The project will assess curb ramps within the project limits and upgrade to meet accessibility requirement s if necessary. Curb ramps adjacent to pavement replacem ent, grind/overlay, dig-outs, and slurry seal operations shall be considered. Design of ADA curb ramps shall be in accordance with current Caltrans standards. The nu mber of ramps to be designed shall be determined during the Roadway Assessment phase, keeping into account tha t curb ramp replacement contributes to the MRP 3.0 threshold. While detailed design of curb ramps is often desired, for this project we assume detailed survey will generally not be available or required, therefore no detailed design will be provided, and a field-fit of standard details will be appropriate. Direction to the contractor will be based on standards and performance specifications. At the northernmost driveway at Beach Park Elementary School on Shell Blvd, the City has requested detailed survey for grade corrections along the sidewalk and in the roadway where ponding occurs on the pavement surface based on City-provided videos. It is assumed no detailed evaluation and no design of other accessibility compliance measures along the corridor are included in this project. However, we will provide a high-level discussion of potential improvements to improve accessibility along each corridor for consideration of potential future projects.

ACCOUNT NO. 141-0910-431-425
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the two attached resolutions:
1. Authorizing the submittal of individual grant applications to CalRecycle for all grant programs for which the City of Foster City is eligible and authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute all grant documents, including but not limited to applications, grant agreements, amendments and requests for payments, for a period of five years;
2. Authorizing the appropriation of funds received from FY 2022-2023 SB 1383 Local Assistance Grants to Account No. 141-0910-431-4251; and
3. Finding Approval of the Resolutions exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines § 15061(b)(3)).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Public Resources Code sections 48000 et seq. authorize CalRecycle to administer various grant programs (grants) in furtherance of the State of California’s (State) efforts
6.6 6.6 Staff Report

to reduce, recycle and reuse solid waste generated in the State. CalRecycle grant application procedures require, among other things, an applicant’s governing body to declare by resolution certain authorizations related to the administration of CalRecycle grants.
Approving the first attached resolution will authorize staff to submit applications to CalRecycle and the City Manager to execute grant documents, including applications, agreements, amendments, and requests for payment for all grants for which the City of Foster City is eligible. These authorizations will remain in effect for five years. This resolution will be submitted with all CalRecycle grant applications during this term.
Approving the second attached resolution will authorize the appropriation of funds received through the currently open SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant. This grant amount has been announced to be at least $75,000 for agencies the size of Foster City and are anticipated to be received from the program in April 2024.
BACKGROUND
Passed in September 2016, SB 1383 established statewide methane emissions reduction targets in an effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants in various sectors of California’s economy. It includes statewide goals to reduce the disposal of organic waste and recover edible food for human consumption.
Public Resources Code sections 48000 et seq. authorize the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to administer various grant programs (grants) in furtherance of the State of California’s (State) efforts to reduce, recycle and reuse solid waste generated in the State thereby preserving landfill capacity and protecting public health and safety and the environment. In furtherance of this authority, CalRecycle establishes procedures governing the application, awarding, and management of the grants.
In January 2022, CalRecycle offered its first round (Fiscal Year 2021-2022) SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program funding. These were non-competitive grants based upon population. Foster City applied for and received $47,314 which is currently being used to fund Foster City’s participation in a County-wide collaboration with the San Mateo Resource Conservation District in an effort to build in-County demand for compost in the agriculture sector as well as purchasing and distributing compost in pursuit of the City’s target compost procurement requirement of 2,526 tons annually as defined in SB 1383.
ANALYSIS
6.6 6.6 Staff Report
48 4
7 6
CalRecycle grant application procedures require, among other things, the applicant’s governing body to declare by resolution certain authorizations related to the administration of CalRecycle grants.
Approving the first attached resolution authorizing the submittal of applications to CalRecycle and authorizing the City Manager to execute grant documents in the name of Foster City will streamline the grant application process for the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant program that is currently open as well as for any other grant opportunities that become available for the next five years. This resolution will become part of the submittal for all grants during the authorization period.
The FY 2022-2023 SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program application period is currently open for a minimum grant amount of $75,000 for agencies the size of Foster City. Approving the second attached resolution will appropriate funding that is received from the FY 2022-2023 SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program, which is anticipated to be received in April 2024. Foster City has already met all of other conditions of the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant program. Appropriating the funding will allow for expenditures to be made during FY 2023-2024 with remaining funding to be appropriated for expenditure in FY 2024-2025 and FY 2025-2026 as part of the regular budget process.
CEQA
The current grant will be used for the procurement and distribution of compost. The City does not know for certain how grant funds may be used over the five-year period, but anticipates that the majority of funds will be expended for the procurement and distribution of compost. All purchases used with grant funds will be individually analyzed to ensure compliance with CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approving the first attached resolution will allow the City to apply for funding from the State of California for mandated and voluntary solid waste prevention and reduction programs anticipated over the five-year authorization term. CalRecycle has periodic grant opportunities that are designed to help agencies meet their solid waste program mandates.
The FY 2022-2023 SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant application period is currently open. It consists of non-competitive funding of $75,000 for cities with Foster City’s population. Approving the second attached resolution will appropriate all funding received from the FY 2022-2023 SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program to Account No. 141-0910-431-4251, which will allow expenditure of the funds in the current fiscal year for the identified purposes.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CIPs 405-660 & 301-690 are comprised of five (5) projects previously identified in the approved Capital Improvement Project (CIP) budgets which were combined into one project package. The project includes various needed maintenance and improvements on EMID’s water storage tanks, water booster pump station, and the City’s lagoon pump house located at the City and District’s Corporation Yard.
Two (2) bids were received and opened on Tuesday, October 3, 2023. After reviewing the bids, the bid submitted by Manito Construction, Inc. in the amount of $4,353,252 was determined to be the lowest responsible and responsive bid. The bid for the work
6.7 6.7 Staff Report
56 4
7 5
on the water tanks and water booster pump station under CIP 405-660, accounts for $4,270,502 of the construction contract, while the bid for the work for the Lagoon Pump House under CIP 301-690 accounts for $82,750 of the construction contract. Total funding of approximately $5 million is available in the approved budget for CIP 405-660.
A budget appropriation of $100,000 is requested to fully fund construction for CIP 405- 660. Total funding of approximately $460,000, is available in the approved budget for CIP 301-690, sufficient to fully fund the project through construction. To maximize the use of funds collected through Water Connection Fees, it is further recommended to substitute $1 million dollars in current funding for the project from the Water CIP Program, with $1 million dollars in funding derived from Water Connection Fees, an eligible use of these funds.
As the design of the project progressed, the role of Consor has expanded and therefore scope of needed construction support services for CIP 405-660 has expanded beyond what was originally identified when the project was developed in 2019. CA #4, in the amount of $121,270, will provide the budget for the needed construction and closeout services for the expanded role of Consor. Construction is anticipated to begin in January and to be completed by spring of 2025.
BACKGROUND
CIP 405-660 is comprised of the following four (4) projects that were previously identified in the capital improvement project budgets: (a) 405-660 Remove and Recoat Water Tanks 1, 2, and 3 (2016-2017); (b) 405-670 Water Quality Dosing and Tank Improvements (2017-2018); (c) 405-687 Seismic Improvements at Water Booster Pump Station (2019-2020); and (d) 405-688 Seismic Improvements at Water Tanks 1, 2, and 3 (2019-2020).
On August 5, 2019, the EMID Board adopted Resolution No. 3490, which included authorizing: (1) the award of a consultant agreement with MurraySmith (dba Consor North America, Inc.) in the amount of $393,013 to provide design and construction support for the former CIPs 405-660, 405-670, and 405-688; (2) combining three projects into a single project; and (3) renaming the single project: CIP 405-660 Water Tank Improvements Project.
On April 20, 2020, the EMID Board adopted Resolution No. 3508, which included authorizing: (1) the award of Contract Amendment No. 1 with Consor in the amount of $57,912 to include the design and construction support for CIP 405-687; (2) combining former CIPs 405-687 and 405-660 into a single project; and (c) renaming the single project: CIP 405-660 Water Tanks and Facilities Improvements Project.
On April 20, 2020, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-35 authorizing the award of contract in the amount of $88,075 for CIP 301-690 Seismic Improvements at the Lagoon Pump Station Project to Consor.

Due to the work of the two projects having some overlap in type of work and sharing the same location, the projects were designed and packaged together as one in order to take advantage of economies of scale.
On September 28, 2020, the Council/Board accepted by Minute Order, the Report/Memo outlining project’s repair design recommendations for the overall Project.
In early 2021, the project was put on hold, while the Engineering Division worked on filling a number of staffing vacancies. The project was subsequently restarted in 2023.
At its July 17, 2023, City Council/Board meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-79 and the EMID Board adopted Resolution No. 3738 authorizing the Call for Bids for the subject project. The project bid period ran for a little over two months, from July 26 to October 3, 2023, to provide contractors time to assemble the multi-disciplinary team that is needed to deliver this project. The mandatory project bid walk occurred August 31, 2023, with 20 persons in attendance. The project was widely solicited with 18 contractors pulling plans from BarkerBlue and likely many more receiving them from various plan rooms.

As shown in the table above the low bid came in 16% under the engineer’s estimate. Manito Construction, Inc. has provided all the required documents and licenses. Staff is therefore recommending award to Manito Construction, Inc (Attachment 3).
Consor Contract Amendment No. 4
Since Consor North America, Inc. was hired in 2019, the original project and Consor’s role during construction has changed. Not only were the original scope and fees in
6.7 6.7 Staff Report
58 4
7 5
2019 dollars but also estimated hours were based off the project understanding at that time. Originally, Consor’s scoped construction services included limited on-site assistance and oversight. Due to the complexity of the project, and available staff resources, it was determined essential for Consor to have a greater presence and be on-site to assist staff with the construction oversight role. Since the role requires services that are beyond the original scope of work, a contract amendment has been negotiated and is included as Attachment 4.
This contract amendment will cover:
•Increased estimated site visits and meetings hours (five meetings to thirty-nine meetings) to cover weekly progress meeting with the construction contractor based on the estimated construction duration.
•Increased estimated required specialty inspections and material testing to cover construction scope of project including tank coating, welding, compaction, concrete, and post installed anchors per project specifications. •Added scope for inspection and site visits from design subconsultants for electrical and structural disciplines for various project elements that require their oversight where there was originally none.
•Added oversight of scheduling (monthly), third party report review and processing of coating and welding inspections, and preparing and attending pre- installation meeting, per technical specs.
•Increased estimated hours to be spent on submittals, RFIs, and change orders based on the final plans and specifications.
•Increased estimated hours for final inspection and for creation and coordination of the final punchlist.
•Added project management scope to oversee project controls (coordination, invoicing, bill tracking, etc.) where none existed before. •Added scope to review certified payroll and ensure labor compliance per California law.
•Increased hourly rates from 2019 to 2023 rates.
Contract Amendment No. 4 for $121,270 brings the total for the agreement with Consor North America, Inc. to $798,686. This is approximately 18% of the construction costs.
Generally, design and construction support total to roughly 20% of the construction costs. The agreement with Consor, is a time and materials not to exceed contract. This means the City/District is billed at agreed upon hourly rates up to a maximum cost. This also means the City/District is billed based on actual effort rather than a preset amount.
If effort is not needed or used, any remaining budget will be returned to the originating fund. Ultimately, this contract amendment increases the overall projected time spent on the project to match the project construction duration and the needed role as it stands today compared to how it stood in 2019 before plans and specifications were finished.

The project is expected to have various miscellaneous expenses, such as bid advertising, small material purchase, and procuring an application programmer that are accounted for above. A 15% construction contingency is requested for unforeseen conditions as this project includes some underground work and work that cannot be fully quantified until destructive work has begun. Expenditures will be tracked for each project separately. Any remaining funds in the project budgets after completion of the project will be returned to the respective originating funds.
CIP 405-660 Budget Increase Analysis
Based on the bids, an appropriation of $100,000 is requested to fully fund the project.
New development connecting to the City of Foster City’s water and sewer systems is charged a one-time connection fee at the time of connection. The connection fee is based on the reasonable cost of capacity per service connection. Approximately $1.2 million dollars in funds from water connection fees is available in Fund 409. Connection fees may be used to expand the capacity of the system serving its customers including projects that extend the useful life of existing critical infrastructure. A new coating and lining for District’s water storage tanks will further protect them from premature degradation, and the retrofits to the tanks and booster pump station building will make the structures more seismically resilient extending their useful lives and the safety of the District’s water system. It is recommended that the City Council/District Board appropriate $100,000 from Fund 409, Water Connection Fees to the Water Tanks and Facilities Improvement Project budget (CIP 405-660). The appropriation would bring the total project funding to $5,800,000.
It further recommended to substitute $1 million from the current funding in the project budget with funding derived from water connection fees. The deallocation of $1 million

dollars from Fund 405, and allocation of $1 million dollars from Fund 409 would be a prudent and appropriate use of the water connection fees and would provide some relief to the Water CIP Fund, funded by the ratepayers.

3.1Owner provides Surety with written notice that Owner has declared a Contractor Default under the Construction Contract pursuant to the terms of the Construction Contract; and
3.2Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of Contract Sum:
3.2.1 To Surety in accordance with the terms of this Bond and the Construction Contract; or

4.1Arrange for Contractor, with consent of Owner, to perform and complete the Construction Contract (but Owner may withhold consent, in which case the Surety must elect an option described in Paragraphs 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 below); or
4.2Undertake to perform and complete the Construction Contract itself, through its agents or through independent contractors or Construction entities; provided, that Surety may not select Contractor as its agent or independent contractor or Contractor without Owner’s consent; or
4.3Undertake to perform and complete the Construction Contract by obtaining bids from qualified contractors or Construction entities acceptable to Owner for a contract for performance and completion of the Construction Contract and, upon determination by Owner of the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder, arrange for a contract to be prepared for execution by Owner and the contractor or Contractor selected with Owner’s concurrence, to be secured with performance and payment bonds executed by a qualified surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the Construction Contract; and, if Surety’s obligations defined in Paragraph 6 below, exceed the Balance of Contract Sum, then Surety shall pay to Owner the amount of such excess; or

Water Tanks & Facilities Improvements Project Seismic Improvements at Lagoon Pump Station Project Surety’s tender under this Paragraph 4.4, Owner may exercise all remedies available to it at law to enforce Surety’s liability under Paragraphs 6 and 7 below.
5.At all times Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to Owner at law or under the Construction Contract including, without limitation, and by way of example only, rights to perform work, protect Work, mitigate damages, advance critical Work to mitigate schedule delay, and coordinate Work with other consultants or contractors.
6.If Surety elects to act under Paragraphs 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 above, within the time period provided in Paragraph 4, above, and complies with its obligations under this Bond, Surety’s obligations under this Bond are commensurate with Contractor’s Construction Contract obligations.

Water Tanks & Facilities Improvements Project Seismic Improvements at Lagoon Pump Station Project
GENERAL CONDITIONS
ARTICLE 1 INTERPRETATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
1.01 Interpretation of Documents
A. Documents are complementary; what is called for by one is as binding as if called for by all.
B. Contract Documents subdivide at first level into Articles, and then into paragraphs.
1.02 Order of Precedence of Documents
A. In the case of discrepancy or ambiguity in the Contract Documents, the following order of precedence shall prevail:
1. Modifications in inverse chronological order (i.e., most recent first), and in the same order as specific portions they are modifying;
2. Contract Forms (Document 00 5200 and other 5000 and 6000 series Documents), and terms and conditions referenced therein;
3. Supplemental General Conditions (Document 00 7301 and other 7300 series Documents), if included;
4. General Conditions (Document 00 7200);
5. Division 01 General Requirements, if included;
6. Drawings and Technical Specifications (Division 02 and above);
7. Written words over figures, unless obviously incorrect;
8. Figured dimensions over scaled dimensions;
9. Large-scale Drawings over small-scale Drawings.
B. Any conflict between Drawings and Technical Specifications (Division 2 and above) will be resolved in favor of the document of the latest date (i.e., the most recent document), and if the dates are the same or not determinable, then in favor of Specifications.
C. Any conflict between a bill or list of materials shown in the Contract Documents and the actual quantities required to complete Work required by Contract Documents, will be resolved in favor of the actual quantities.
D. All Technical Specifications included in the Project manual shall be included within the Contract Documents unless identified otherwise.
ARTICLE 2 PRE-BID INVESTIGATIONS
2.01 Pre-Bid Investigations Required
A. Prior to and as a condition of submitting a Bid and executing Document 00 5200 (Agreement), Contractor shall make reasonable efforts to investigate fully the Work of the Contract. Contractor shall visit the Site, examine thoroughly and understand fully the nature and extent of the Contract Documents, Work, Site, locality, actual conditions and as-built conditions.
B. Contractor’s investigation shall include, without limitation, requesting and thoroughly examining of all reports of exploration and tests of subsurface conditions, as-built drawings, drawings, product specification(s) or reports, made available by Owner for pre-bidding or contracting purposes or during Contractor’s pre-bid investigations, of existing above ground and (to the extent applicable) below ground conditions (together, Existing Conditions Data), including, as applicable, Underground Facilities, geotechnical data, as-built data, utility surveys, record documents of all types, hazardous materials surveys, or similar materials which may appear or be referenced in the Project Manual or the in the Contract Documents, and all local conditions, and federal, state and local laws and regulations that in any manner may affect cost, progress, performance or furnishing of Work or which relate to any aspect of the means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction to be employed by Contractor and safety precautions and programs incident thereto.
C. Contractor’s investigations shall consider fully the fact that Existing Conditions Data is in many cases based on information furnished to Owner by others (e.g., the prior owner or builders), and that due to their age or their chain of custody since preparation, may not meet current industry standards for accuracy. Contractor shall also: (i.) provide Owner with prompt written notice of all
6.7 Attachment 3 - Construction Services Agreement with Manito Construction, Inc.
98 Rev. 0
March 2023
Supplemental General Conditions 00 7301 - 2
Water Tanks & Facilities Improvements Project Seismic Improvements at Lagoon Pump Station Project
conflicts, errors, ambiguities, or discrepancies of any type, that it discovered in or among the Contract Documents and the Existing Conditions Data, and (ii.) subject to Owner’s approval, conduct any such additional or supplementary examinations, investigations, explorations, tests, studies and data compilations, concerning conditions (surface, subsurface, and Underground Facilities) at or contiguous to the Site or otherwise, which Contractor may deem necessary in order to perform and furnish the Work in accordance with the terms and conditions of Contract Documents.
D. During performance of the Contract, Contractor will be charged with knowledge of all information that it should have learned in performing these pre-bid investigations and other obligations, and shall not be entitled to Change Orders (time or compensation) due to any information, error, inconsistency, omission, or conditions that Contractor should have known as a part of this Work.
Contractor shall be responsible for the resultant losses, including, without limitation, the cost of correcting Defective Work.
2.02 Limited Reliance Permitted On Owner’s Existing Conditions Data A. Regarding aboveground and as-built conditions shown on the Contract Documents or supplied by Owner, such information has been compiled in good faith, however, Owner does not expressly or impliedly warrant or represent that such information is correctly shown or indicated, or otherwise complete for construction purposes. Contractor must independently verify such information as part of its pre-bid investigations, and where conditions are not reasonably verifiable or discrepancies are identified, bring such matters to Owner’s attention through written question issued during the bid period. In executing Document 00 5200 (Agreement), Contractor shall rely on the results of its own independent investigation and shall not rely on Owner-supplied information regarding aboveground conditions and as-built conditions, and Contractor shall accept full responsibility for its verification work sufficient to complete the Work as intended.
B. Regarding subsurface conditions other than Underground Facilities shown on the Contract Documents or otherwise supplied by Owner, Contractor may rely only upon the general accuracy of actual reported depths, actual reported character of materials, actual reported soil types, actual reported water conditions, or actual obstructions shown or indicated in the Contract Documents.
Owner is not responsible for the completeness of any subsurface condition information, Contractor’s conclusions or opinions drawn from any subsurface condition information, or subsurface conditions that are not specifically shown. (For example, Owner is not responsible for soil conditions in areas contiguous to areas where a subsurface condition is shown.)
2.03 Pre-Bid Investigation Requirements For Excavation and Utilities Relocation Projects A. As part of its pre-bid investigations for Projects involving excavation and/or relocation of existing utilities, Contractor shall make reasonable efforts to verify information regarding Underground Facilities including, without limitation, requesting additional information or verification of information as necessary.
B. Because of the nature and location of Owner and the Project, the existence of Underground Facilities is deemed inherent in the Work of the Contract, as is the fact that Underground Facilities are not always accurately shown or completely shown on as-built records, both as to their depth and location. Contractor shall, therefore, take care to note the existence and potential existence of Underground Facilities, in particular, above and below grade structures, drainage lines, storm drains, sewers, water, gas, electrical, chemical, hot water, and other similar items and utilities. Contractor shall carefully consider all supplied information, request additional information Contractor may deem necessary, and visually inspect the Site for above ground indications of Underground Facilities (such as, for example not by way of limitation, the existence of existing service laterals, appurtenances or other types of utilities, indicated by the presence of an underground transmission main or other visible facilities, such as buildings, manholes, new asphalt, meters and junction boxes, on or adjacent to the Site). Contractor shall also consider local underground conditions and typical practices for Underground Facilities, either through its own direct knowledge or through its subcontractors, and fully consider this knowledge in assessing the existing information and the reasonableness of its reliance.

At Owner’s request, Contractor shall provide Owner with a complete copy of all executed subcontracts or final commercial agreements with Subcontractors and/or suppliers.
3.02 Subcontracts
A. Subcontract agreements shall preserve and protect the rights of Owner under the Contract Documents so that subcontracting will not prejudice such rights. To the extent of the Work to be performed by a Subcontractor, Contractor shall require the Subcontractor’s written agreement (i) to be bound to the terms of Contract Documents and (ii) to assume vis-à-vis Contractor all the obligations and responsibilities that Contractor assumes toward Owner under the Contract Documents. (These agreements include, without limitation, all warranties, claims procedures and rules governing submittals of all types to which Contractor is subject under the Contract Documents.)
B. Contractor shall provide for the assignment to Owner of all rights any Subcontractor (of any tier) may have against any manufacturer, supplier, or distributor for breach of warranties and guarantees relating to the Work performed by the Subcontractor under the Contract Documents.
Subcontracts shall provide and acknowledge Owner as an intended third-party beneficiary of each subcontract and supply contract (of any tier).
ARTICLE 4 DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS
4.01 Intent of Drawings and Specifications
A. Contractor shall interpret words or phrases used to describe Work (including services), materials, or equipment that have well-known technical or construction industry or trade meaning in accordance with that meaning. Drawings’ intent specifically includes the intent to depict construction that complies with all applicable laws, codes and standards.
B. As part of the Work, Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, machinery, tools, facilities, services, employee training and testing, hoisting facilities, Shop Drawings, storage, testing, security, transportation, disposal, the securing of all necessary or required field dimensions, the cutting or patching of existing materials, notices, permits, documents, reports, agreements and any other items required or necessary to timely and fully complete Work described and the results intended by Contract Documents and, in particular, Drawings and Specifications. Divisions and Specification Sections and the identification on any Drawings shall not control Contractor in dividing Work among Subcontractors or suppliers or delineating the Work to be performed by any specific trade.
C. Contractor shall perform reasonably implied parts of Work as incidental work although absent from Drawings and Specifications. Incidental work includes any work not shown on Drawings or described in Specifications that is necessary or normally or customarily required as a part of the Work shown on Drawings or described in Specifications. Incidental work includes any work necessary or required to make each installation satisfactory, legally operable, functional, and consistent with the intent of Drawings and Specifications or the requirements of Contract Documents. Contractor shall perform incidental work without extra cost to Owner. Incidental work shall be treated as if fully described in Specifications and shown on Drawings, and the expense of incidental work shall be included in price Bid and Contract Sum.
4.02 Checking of Drawings and Specifications
A. Before undertaking each part of Work, Contractor shall carefully study and compare Contract Documents and check and verify pertinent figures shown in the Contract Documents and all applicable field measurements. Contractor shall be responsible for any errors that might have been avoided by such comparison. Figures shown on Drawings shall be followed; Contractor shall not scale measurements. Contractor shall promptly report to Owner, in writing, any conflict,

error, ambiguity or discrepancy that Contractor may discover. Contractor shall obtain a written interpretation or clarification from Owner before proceeding with any Work affected thereby.
Contractor shall provide Owner with a follow-up correspondence every ten Days until it receives a satisfactory interpretation or clarification.
4.03 Interpretation of Drawings and Specifications
A. A typical or representative detail on Drawings shall constitute the standard for workmanship and material throughout corresponding parts of Work. Where necessary, and where reasonably inferable from Drawings, Contractor shall adapt such representative detail for application to such corresponding parts of Work. The details of such adaptation shall be subject to prior approval by Owner. Repetitive features shown in outline on Drawings shall be in exact accordance with corresponding features completely shown.
B. Should any discrepancy appear or any misunderstanding arise as to the import of anything contained in Drawings and Specifications, or should Contractor have any questions or requests relating to Drawings or Specifications, Contractor shall refer the matter to Owner, in writing, with a copy to the Architect/Engineer. Owner will issue (or cause to be issued) with reasonable promptness written responses, clarifications or interpretations as Owner may determine necessary. All written responses, clarifications and interpretations under this Paragraph shall be consistent with the intent of and be reasonably inferable from Contract Documents, and binding upon Contractor. If Contractor believes that a written response, clarification or interpretation justifies an adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, Contractor shall give Owner prompt written notice. If the parties are unable to agree to the amount or extent of the adjustment, if any, then Contractor shall perform the Work in conformance with Owner’s response, clarification, or interpretation and may make a written claim for the adjustment as provided in Article 12.
C. The following general specifications shall apply wherever in the Specifications, or in any directions given by Owner in accordance with or supplementing Specifications, it is provided that Contractor shall furnish materials or manufactured articles or shall do Work for which no detailed specifications are shown. Materials or manufactured articles shall be of the best grade, in quality and workmanship, obtainable in the market from firms of established good reputation. If not ordinarily carried in stock, the materials or manufactured articles shall conform to industry standards for first class materials or articles of the kind required, with due consideration of the use to which they are to be put. Work shall conform to the usual standards or codes, such as those cited herein, for first class work of the kind required. Contractor shall specify in writing to Owner, at least 10 Business Days prior to furnishing such materials or performing such Work, the materials to be used or Work to be performed under this Paragraph.
4.04 Use of Drawings and Specifications
A. Drawings, Specifications and other Contract Documents were prepared for use for Work of Contract Documents only. No part of Contract Documents shall be used for any other construction or for any other purpose except with the written consent of Owner. Any unauthorized use of Contract Documents is prohibited and at the sole liability of the user.
ARTICLE 5 COMMENCEMENT OF THE WORK

Payment for Work completed through periodic progress payments, final payment or otherwise shall not operate to waive Owner’s right to require full compliance with Contract Documents and shall in no way be deemed as acceptance of any defective Work paid therefor. Contractor’s obligation to complete the Work in accordance with Contract Documents shall be absolute, unless Owner agrees otherwise in writing.
9.06 Proof of Compliance of Contract Provisions

Contractor shall remove any Defective Work rejected by Owner and replace it with Work that is not Defective, and satisfactorily correct or remove and replace any damage to other Work or the work of others resulting therefrom. If Contractor fails to promptly comply with the terms of such instructions, or in an emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, Owner may have the Defective Work corrected or the rejected Work removed and replaced. Contractor shall pay for all claims, costs, losses and damages caused by or resulting from such removal and replacement. Where Contractor fails to correct Defective Work, or defects are discovered outside the correction period, Owner shall have all rights and remedies granted by law.
B. In special circumstances where a part of the Work is occupied or a particular item of equipment is placed in continuous service before Final Acceptance of all the Work, the correction period for that part of Work or that item may start to run from an earlier date if so provided by Change Order.
C. Where Defective Work or rejected Work (and damage to other Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected, removed, or replaced under this Paragraph after the commencement of the correction period, the correction period hereunder with respect to such Work shall be extended for an additional period of one year after such correction or removal and replacement has been satisfactorily completed.
9.08 No Waiver
A. Neither recordation of Final Acceptance, nor final certificate for payment, nor provision of the Contract, nor partial or entire use or occupancy of premises by Owner shall constitute acceptance of Work not done in accordance with Contract Documents nor relieve Contractor of liability in respect to express warranties or responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship.
B. If, after installation, operation, or use of materials or equipment to be provided under Contract proves to be unsatisfactory to Owner, Owner shall have the right to operate and use materials or equipment until said materials and equipment can, without damage to Owner, be taken out of service for correction or replacement.

11.05 Non-Compensable Time Extensions
A. Subject to other applicable provisions of the Contract Documents, Contractor may be entitled to adjustment in Contract Time only, without adjustment in Contract Sum, for
1. Periods of excusable delay caused solely by weather or Force Majeure events as provided above in this Article, or
2. Periods of concurrent delay, where delay results from two or more causes, one of which is compensable (resulting from Changes or Acts or Neglect as set forth above in this Article), and the other of which is non-compensable or unexcusable, such as: acts or neglect of Contractor, Subcontractors or others for whom Contractor is responsible; other acts, omissions and conditions which would not entitle Contractor to adjustment in Contract Time; adverse weather; and/or actions of Force Majeure as provided above in this Article.
11.06 Adverse Weather
A. Adverse weather delays may be allowed only if the number of workdays of adverse weather exceeds the parameters listed or referenced immediately below in this subparagraph and Contractor proves that adverse weather actually caused delays to work on the critical path.
Contractor shall give written notice of intent to claim an adverse weather day within one Day of the adverse weather day occurring.
B. Claims for extension of time for rain delay will not be granted unless the number of days work is prevented by rain exceeds 100% of the historical average number of rain days for the period of

the Contract Time, based on the records of the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather station identified in Supplemental Conditions or, if not, the station closest to the Project Site (in either case, Weather Station), as measured and reported by NOAA. (For example, for California, Oregon and Washington, these figures are contained in the “>=0.10 inch” column at the applicable weather station’s “General Climate Summary Table” for “Precipitation” at http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/climate-summaries/), pro-rated in the individual month Contractor starts and finishes Work. Delays due to adverse weather conditions will not be allowed for weather conditions that fall within these parameters.
C. In order to qualify as an adverse weather delay day with respect to the foregoing parameters, daily rainfall must exceed 0.1 inch at the Weather Station, as measured and reported by NOAA.
Notwithstanding these allowances, Contractor shall at all times employ all available mitigation measures to enable Work to continue, Contractor shall take reasonable steps to mitigate potential weather delays, such as dewatering the Site, lime treatment, and covering Work and material that could be affected adversely by weather. Failure to do so shall be cause for Owner to not grant a time extension due to adverse weather, where Contractor could have avoided or mitigated the potential delay by exercising reasonable care.
D. Contractor shall include the foregoing precipitation parameters as a monthly activity in its progress schedule. As Work on the critical path is affected by precipitation, Contractor shall notify Owner and request that the days be moved to the affected activities. Any adverse weather days remaining shall be considered Project float available to either Owner or Contractor.
E. Adverse weather delay for precipitation shall be recognized for the actual period of time Contractor proves it was delayed by precipitation exceeding the specified parameters. For example, and not by way of limitation, if precipitation exceeding the specified parameters does not in fact delay Contractor’s progress on the critical path, then no time extension shall be recognized; and conversely, if Contractor proves to Owner’s satisfaction that precipitation exceeding the specified parameters causes delay to Contractor for a period longer than the number of precipitation days incurred (e.g., if it rains or snows during grading work), then Contractor shall be entitled to a time extension equal to the actual period of such delay.
F. During unfavorable weather, wet ground, or other unsuitable construction conditions, Contractor shall employ best practices to protect the Work, manage the construction site and rainwater during inclement weather. Persons performing the Work shall examine surfaces to receive their Work and shall report in writing to Contractor, with copy to Owner representative and the Architect conditions detrimental to the Work. Failure to examine and report discrepancies makes the Contractor responsible, at no increase in Contract Sum, for corrections Owner may require.
Commencement of Work constitutes acceptance of surface.
11.07 Liquidated Damages
A. Time is of the essence. Execution of Contract Documents by Contractor shall constitute its acknowledgement that Owner will actually sustain damages in the form of Contract administration expenses (such as Project management and consultant expenses) in the amount fixed in the Contract Documents for each and every Day during which completion of Work required is delayed beyond expiration of time fixed for completion plus extensions of time allowed pursuant to provisions hereof.
B. Contractor and Owner agree that because of the nature of the Project, it would be impractical or extremely difficult to fix the amount of such actual damages incurred by Owner because of a delay in completion of all or any part of the Work. Contractor and Owner agree that specified measures of liquidated damages shall be presumed to be the amount of such damages actually sustained by Owner, and that because of the nature of the Project, it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages.
C. Liquidated damages for delay shall cover administrative, overhead, interest on bonds, and general loss of public use damages suffered by Owner as a result of delay. Liquidated damages shall not cover the cost of completion of the Work, damages resulting from Defective Work, lost revenues or costs of substitute facilities, or damages suffered by others who then seek to recover their damages from Owner (for example, delay claims of other contractors, subcontractors, tenants, or other third-parties), and defense costs thereof. Owner may deduct from any money due or to become due to Contractor subsequent to time for completion of entire Work and

extensions of time allowed pursuant to provisions hereof, a sum representing then-accrued liquidated damages.
ARTICLE 12 CLAIMS BY CONTRACTOR
12.01 Obligation to File Claims for Disputed Work
A. Should it appear to Contractor that the Work to be performed or any of the matters relative to the Contract Documents are not satisfactorily detailed or explained therein, or should any questions arise as to the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents, or should any dispute arise regarding the true value of any work performed, work omitted, extra work that the Contractor may be required to perform, time extensions, payment to the Contractor during performance of this Contract, performance of the Contract, and/or compliance with Contract procedures, or should Contractor otherwise seek extra time or compensation FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER (collectively, Disputed Work), then Contractor shall first follow procedures set forth in the Contract Documents (including, without limitation, Paragraphs 11.03, 11.04, 13.03 and 13.04 of this Document 00 7200 and Section 01 2600.) If a dispute remains, then Contractor shall give written notice to Owner that expressly invokes this Article 12. Owner shall decide the issue in writing within 15 days; and Owner’s written decision shall be final and conclusive. If Contractor disagrees with Owner’s decision, or if Contractor contends that Owner failed to provide a decision timely, then Contractor’s SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY is to file a written claim within the time limits set forth in Paragraph 12.02 of this Article setting forth Contractor’s position as required herein.
B. Duty to Work During Disputes. Notwithstanding any dispute or Disputed Work, Contractor shall continue to prosecute the Work and the Disputed Work in accordance with the Owner’s determinations. Contractor’s SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY for Disputed Work is to file a written claim within the time limits set forth in Paragraph 12.02 of this Article setting forth Contractor’s position as required herein.
12.02 Form and Contents of Claim
A. Contractor’s written claim must identify itself as a Claim under this Article 12 and must include the following: (i) a narrative of pertinent events; (ii) citation to contract provisions; (iii) theory of entitlement; (iv) complete pricing of all cost impacts; (v) a Time Impact Evaluation of all time delays that shows actual time impact on the critical path; (vi) documentation supporting items (i) through (v); and (vii) a verification under penalty of perjury of the claim’s accuracy. The Claim shall be submitted to Owner within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving Owner’s written decision, or the date Contractor contends such decision was due, and shall be priced like a change order according to Section 01 2600, and must be updated monthly as to cost and entitlement if a continuing claim. Routine contract materials, for example, correspondence, RFI, Change Order requests, or payment requests shall not constitute a claim. Contractor shall bear all costs incurred in the preparation and submission of a claim.
B. Regarding delay and impact costs of any nature, Contractor may not seek delay compensation for on-Site or off-Site costs based on formulas, e.g., “Eichleay” or other formula. Rather, Contractor shall prove actual costs resulting from such delays. If Contractor requests compensation for delay to the construction, then Contractor shall prove and document actual costs plus markup per the cost categories and procedures in Section 01 2600 (Modification Procedures) in order to request, claim or prove compensation for delay.
12.03 Administration During/After Claim Submission
A. Owner may render a final determination based on the Claim or may in its discretion conduct an administrative hearing on Contractor’s claim, in which case Contractor shall appear, participate, answer questions and inquiries, and present any further evidence or analysis requested by Owner prior to rendering a final determination.

A. During construction, Contractor shall comply with Government Code Sections 4216 to 4216.9, and in particular Section 4216.2 which provides, in part: “Except in an emergency, an excavator planning to conduct an excavation shall notify the appropriate regional notification center of the excavator’s intent to excavate at least two working days, and not more than 14 calendar days, before beginning that excavation. The date of the notification shall not count as part of the two- working-day notice. If an excavator gives less notice than the legal excavation start date and time and the excavation is not an emergency, the regional notification center will take the information and provide a ticket, but an operator has until the legal excavation start date and time to respond.
However, an excavator and an operator may mutually agree to a different notice and start date.
The contact information for operators notified shall be available to the excavator.” B. Contractor shall contact USA, and schedule the Work to allow ample time for the center to notify its members and, if necessary, for any member to field locate and mark its facilities. Contractor is charged with knowledge of all subsurface conditions reflected in USA records. Prior to commencing excavation or trenching work, Contractor shall provide Owner with copies of all USA records secured by Contractor. Contractor shall advise Owner of any conflict between information provided in Document 00 3132 (Geotechnical Data and Existing Conditions), the Drawings and that provided by USA records. Contractor’s excavation shall be subject to and comply with the Contract Documents.
C. Contractor shall also investigate the existence of existing service laterals, appurtenances or other types of utilities, indicated by the presence of an underground transmission main or other visible facilities, such as buildings, manholes, new asphalt, meters and junction boxes, on or adjacent to the Site, even if not shown or indicated in Existing Conditions Data, Contract Documents, or USA records, or discovered during Contractor’s pre- or post-bid investigation. Contractor shall immediately secure all such available information and notify Owner and the utility owner, in writing, of its discovery.
13.02 Contractor to Protect Underground Facilities
A. At all times during construction, all operating Underground Facilities shall remain in operation, unless the Contract Documents expressly indicate otherwise. Contractor shall maintain such Underground Facilities in service where appropriate; shall repair any damage to them caused by the Work; and shall incorporate them into the Work, including reasonable adjustments to the design location (including minor relocations) of the existing or new installations. Contractor shall take immediate action to restore any in service installations damaged by Contractor’s operations.
B. Prior to performing Work at the Site, Contractor shall lay out the locations of Underground Facilities that are to remain in service and other significant known underground installations indicated by the Existing Conditions Data, Contract Documents, USA records, or any material otherwise reasonably available to Contractor or discovered during Contractor’s pre- or post-bid investigations. Contractor shall further locate, by carefully excavating with small equipment, potholing and principally by hand, all such utilities or installations that are to remain and that are subject to damage. If additional utilities whose locations are unknown are discovered, Contractor shall immediately report to Owner for disposition of the same. Additional compensation or extension of time on account of utilities not shown or otherwise brought to Contractor’s attention, including reasonable action taken to protect or repair damage, shall be determined as provided in this Document 00 7200.
C. If during construction, an Underground Facility is uncovered or revealed at or contiguous to the Site which was not shown, indicated, or discovered in the materials and investigations described in Paragraph 13.02B, above, then Contractor shall, promptly after becoming aware thereof and before further disturbing conditions affected thereby (and in no event later than seven Days), and prior to performing any Work in connection therewith (except in an emergency), identify the owner of such Underground Facility and give written notice to that owner and to Owner. During such time, Contractor shall be responsible for the safety and protection of such Underground Facility.
D. The cost of all of the following will be included in the Contract Sum and Contractor shall have full responsibility for (a) reviewing and checking all available information and data including, without limitation, Existing Conditions Data, and information on file at USA; (b) locating all Underground Facilities shown or indicated in the Contract Documents or reasonably available information, or indicated by visual observation including, without limitation, and by way of example only, through

performance of all pre-Bid investigations required by this Document 00 7200 and Bidding Documents and post-Bid investigations required by this Document 00 7200, and by engaging qualified locating services and all necessary backhoeing and potholing; (c) coordination of the Work with the owners of such Underground Facilities during construction; and (d) the safety and protection of all such Underground Facilities and repairing any damage thereto resulting from the Work.
E. Consistent with Government Code Section 4215, as between Owner and Contractor, Owner will be responsible for the timely removal, relocation, or protection of existing main or trunk line utility facilities located on the Site only if such utilities are not identified in the Contract Documents or information made available for bidding. Owner will compensate for the cost of locating and repairing damage not due to Contractor’s failure to exercise reasonable care, removing and relocating such main or trunk line utility facilities not indicated in the Contract Documents or information made available for bidding with reasonable accuracy, and equipment on the Project necessarily idled during such Work. Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the Project, when such delay was caused by the failure of Owner or the utility to provide for removal or relocation of such utility facilities.
13.03 Concealed or Unknown Conditions
A. If either of the following conditions is encountered at Site when digging trenches or other excavations that extend deeper than four feet below the surface, Contractor shall give a written Notice of Differing Site Conditions to Owner promptly before conditions are disturbed, except in an emergency as set forth in this Document 00 7200, and in no event later than seven Days after first observance of:
1. Subsurface or Latent physical conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents; or
2. Unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature or which differ materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the Contract Documents.
B. In response to Contractor’s Notice of Differing Site Conditions under this Paragraph, Owner will investigate the identified conditions, and if they differ materially and cause increase or decrease in Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, Owner will negotiate the appropriate change order following the procedures set forth in the Contract Documents. If Owner determines that physical conditions at the Site are not Latent or are not materially different from those indicated in Contract Documents or that no change in terms of the Contract Documents is justified, Owner will so notify Contractor in writing, stating reasons (with Contractor retaining its rights under Article 12 of this Document 00 7200.) C. Contractor shall not be entitled to any adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time regarding claimed Latent or materially different Site conditions (whether above or below grade) if Contractor knew or should have known of the existence of such conditions at the time Contractor submitted its Bid, failed to give proper notice, or relied upon information, conclusions, opinions or deductions of the kind that the Contract Documents preclude reliance upon.
D. Regarding Underground Facilities, Contractor shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Sum or an extension of the Contract Time, or both, to the extent that they are attributable to the existence of any Underground Facility that is owned and was built by Owner only where the Underground Facility:
1. Was not shown or indicated in the Contract Documents or in the information supplied for bidding purposes or in information on file at USA; and
2. Contractor did not know of it; and
3. Contractor could not reasonably have been expected to be aware of it or to have anticipated it from the information available. (For example, if surface conditions such as pavement repairs, valve covers, or other markings, indicate the presence of an Underground Facility, then an increase in the Contract Sum or an extension of the Contract Time will not be due, even if the Underground Facility was not indicated in the

Contract Documents, in the information supplied to Contractor for bidding purposes, in information on file at USA, or otherwise reasonably available to Contractor.) E. Contractor shall bear the risk that Underground Facilities not owned or built by Owner may differ in nature or locations shown in information made available by Owner for bidding purposes, in information on file at USA, or otherwise reasonably available to Contractor. Underground Facilities are inherent in construction involving digging of trenches or other excavations on Owner’s Project, and Contractor is to apply its skill and industry to verify the information available.
F. Contractor’s compensation for claimed Latent or materially different Site conditions shall be limited to the actual, reasonable, incremental increase in cost of that portion of the Work, resulting from the claimed Latent or materially different Site conditions. Such calculation shall take into account the estimated value of that portion of the Work and the actual value of that portion of the Work, using for guidance Contractor’s or its subcontractor’s bid amount and actual amounts incurred for that portion of the Work and the reasonable expectation (if any) of differing or difficult site conditions in the Work area based on the available records and locale of the Work. For example, if Contractor excavates in an area unexpected, then such costs would be recoverable entirely; while if Contractor extends an existing excavation, then such costs would be recoverable if the resulting excavation costs in that work area exceeded the reasonable expectations therefore.
13.04 Notice of Hazardous Waste or Materials Conditions A. Contractor shall give a written Notice of Hazardous Materials Condition to Owner promptly, before any of the following conditions are disturbed (except in an emergency as set forth in this Document 00 7200), and in no event later than 24 hours after first observance of any:
1. Material that Contractor believes may be hazardous waste or hazardous material, as defined in Section 25117 of the California Health and Safety Code (including, without limitation, Asbestos, lead, PCBs, petroleum and related hydrocarbons, and radioactive material) that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in accordance with provisions of existing law (hazardous material); or
2. Other material that may present an imminent substantial danger to persons or property exposed thereto in connection with Work at the Site (other materials).
B. Except as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents or as provided by applicable law, Contractor shall not be required to give any notice for the disturbance or observation of any such hazardous materials or other materials where such matter is disturbed or observed as part of the scope of Work under the Contract Documents (such as hazardous waste or hazardous material investigation, remediation or disposal activities which are identified as the subject of Work under the Contract Documents), where Contractor complies with all requirements in the Contract Documents and applicable law respecting such materials.
C. Contractor’s Notice of Hazardous Materials Condition shall indicate whether the hazardous materials or other materials were shown or indicated in the Contract Documents to be within the scope of Work, and whether the hazardous materials or other materials were brought to the Site by Contractor, its Subcontractors, suppliers, or anyone else for whom Contractor is responsible.
D. Contractor shall not be entitled to any adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time regarding claimed hazardous waste or materials if:
1. Contractor knew of the existence of such hazardous materials or other materials at the time Contractor submitted its Bid; or
2. Contractor should have known of the existence of such hazardous material or other materials as a result of its having the responsibility to obtain additional or supplementary examinations, investigation, explorations, tests, studies, and data concerning the conditions at or contiguous to the Site prior to submitting its Bid; or
3. Contractor failed to give the written notice within the required timeframe set forth below.
E. If Owner determines that conditions involve hazardous materials or other materials and that a change in Contract Document terms is justified, Owner will issue either a Request for Proposal or Construction Change Directive under the procedures described in the Contract Documents. If

Owner determines that conditions do not involve hazardous materials or other materials or that no change in Contract Document terms is justified, Owner will notify Contractor in writing, stating the reasons for its determination.
F. In addition to the parties’ other rights under this Document 00 7200, if Contractor does not agree to resume Work based on a reasonable belief that it is unsafe, or does not agree to resume Work under special conditions, Owner may order the disputed portion of Work deleted from the Work, or performed by others, or Owner may invoke its right to terminate Contractor’s right to proceed under the Contract Documents in whole or in part, for convenience or for cause as the facts may warrant.
G. If Contractor does not agree with any Owner determination of any adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time under this Article, Contractor may make a claim as provided in Article 12 of this Document 00 7200.
ARTICLE 14 LEGAL AND MISCELLANEOUS
14.01 Laws and Regulations
A. Contractor shall keep fully informed of and shall comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations and orders of any properly constituted authority affecting the Contract Documents, Work and persons connected with Work, and shall protect and indemnify Owner and its officers, employees, consultants and agents against any claim or liability, including attorney’s fees, arising from or based on violation of law, ordinance, regulation or order, whether by Contractor or by Subcontractors, employees or agents. Authorized persons may at any time enter upon any part of Work to ascertain compliance of all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and orders.
14.02 Permits and Taxes
A. Contractor shall procure all permits and licenses applicable to the Work (including environmental matters to the extent applicable); pay all charges and fees, including fees for street opening permits; comply with, implement and acknowledge effectiveness of all permits; initiate and cooperate in securing all required notifications or approvals therefore; and give all notices necessary and incident to due and lawful prosecution of Work, unless otherwise provided herein.
Owner will pay applicable building permits, sanitation and water fees for the completed construction, except as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents. Contractor shall pay all sales and/or use taxes levied on materials, supplies, or equipment purchased and used on or incorporated into Work, and all other taxes properly assessed against equipment or other property used in connection with Work, without any increase in the Contract Sum. Contractor shall make necessary arrangements with proper authorities having jurisdiction over roads, streets, pipelines, navigable waterways, railroads, and other works in advance of operations, even where Owner may have already obtained permits for the Work.
14.03 Communications and Information Distribution
A. All communications recognized under the Contract Documents shall be in writing, in the form of a serialized document, by type of communication. For example, RFIs shall be serialized beginning with RFI No. 1; payment applications shall be serialized beginning with Payment Application No. 1, submittals shall be serialized per specification section and transmitted with transmittal sheets beginning with Transmittal No. 1; and correspondence shall be serialized beginning with letter No.
1. Contractor may propose other record management and identification systems or protocols, intended to facilitate orderly transmittal of project information, storage and retrieval of such information, which Owner will review consistent with these stated objectives, and accept or reject in its sole discretion.
B. Documents Requiring Signatures. All documents requiring signatures for approval prior to implementing action, as stipulated in other portions of Contract Documents, shall require a manually signed, serialized letter delivered to the other party at its address for notice otherwise specified in the Contract Documents, either personally or by mail.
C. Electronic data transfer of such correspondence will serve to expedite preliminary concurrence of information, only. Receipt of “hard copy” signature on forms is required prior to implementing action or work as the conditions may require. For example, change orders and authorizations for

extra cost, require signatures. A party may acknowledge receipt of PDF copies of required correspondence by e-mail, but in the absence of such acknowledgment, mail or personal delivery is required.
D. All emails shall be copied to Owner’s and Contractor’s Project Representative. Owner reserves the right to preclude e-mail communication, in whole or in part, as Project needs may require.
Communication between Owner and Contractor shall not be via Twitter, Facebook, or other types of instant text message systems. Any such communications shall be inadmissible for any purpose related to this Contract.
14.04 Suspension of Work
A. Owner may, without cause, order Contractor in writing to suspend, delay or interrupt Work in whole or in part for such period of time as Owner may determine. An adjustment shall be made for increases in cost of performance of Work of the Contract Documents caused by any such suspension, delay or interruption, calculated using the measures set forth in Section 01 2600 (Modification Procedures). No adjustment shall be made to extent that performance is, was or would have been so suspended, delayed or interrupted by another cause for which Contractor is responsible.
14.05 Termination of Contract for Cause
A. Owner may declare Contractor in default and terminate Contractor’s right to proceed under the Contract Documents, for cause, should Contractor be the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy or admit in writing its inability to pay debts as they may become due. The Contractor shall be in default of the Contract Documents and Owner may terminate the Contractor's right to proceed under the Contract Documents, for cause, in whole or in part, should the Contractor commit a material breach of the Contract Documents and not cure such breach within ten (10) calendar days of the date of notice from Owner to the Contractor demanding such cure; or, if such breach is curable but not curable within such ten (10) day period, within such period of time as is reasonably necessary to accomplish such cure. (In order for the Contractor to avail itself of a time period in excess of 10 calendar days, the Contractor must provide Owner within the ten (10) day period with a written cure plan acceptable to Owner that demonstrates actual resources, personnel and a schedule to promptly to cure said breach, and then diligently commence and continue such cure according to the written plan) B. If Owner at any time reasonably believes that Contractor is or may be in default under the Contract Documents as provided above, then Owner may in its sole discretion notify Contractor of this fact and request written assurances from Contractor of performance of Contract Documents and a written plan from Contractor to remedy any default under the terms of Contract Documents that Owner may advise Contractor of in writing. Contractor shall, within ten (10) Days of Owner’s request, deliver a written cure plan that meets the requirements of the written cure plan as defined above. Failure of Contractor to provide such written assurances of performance and the required written cure plan within ten (10) Days of request will constitute a material breach of Contract Documents sufficient to justify termination for cause.
C. In the event of termination by Owner for cause as provided herein, the Contractor shall deliver to Owner possession of the Work in its then condition including, without limitation, all designs, engineering, Project records, cost data of all types, plans and specifications and contracts with vendors and subcontractors, all other documentation associated with the Project, and all construction supplies and aids dedicated solely to performing the Work which, in the normal course of construction, would be consumed or only have salvage value at the end of the construction period. The Contractor shall remain fully liable for the failure of any Work completed and materials and equipment provided through the date of such termination to comply with the provisions of the Contract Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not be interpreted to diminish any right that Owner may have to claim and recover damages for any breach of the Contract Documents or otherwise, but rather, the Contractor shall compensate Owner for all loss, cost, damage, expense, and/or liability suffered by Owner as a result of such termination and/or failure to comply with the Contract Documents.
D. In the event a termination for cause is later determined to have been made wrongfully or without cause, then the termination shall be treated as a termination for convenience, and the Contractor

B. A COVID-19 Condition is something attributable to COVID-19 not caused by Contractor (which for purposes herein includes all subcontractors and suppliers) and beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation COVID-19 Proclamations and supply chain disruptions due to COVID- 19, and other circumstances concerning COVID-19 not caused by Contractor and which are beyond its reasonable control.
C. A COVID-19 Proclamation includes without limitation orders, directives and guidance concerning COVID-19 that have been issued, and which may be issued from time to time, by public agencies or regulatory bodies, including without limitation the CDC, OSHA, Cal/OSHA, County or Owner, including without limitation the CalOSHA COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards.
Contractor acknowledges that those orders, directives and guidance may require the Project to shut down or otherwise increase Contractor’s cost or time of performance by calling for things such as social distancing and the use of personal protective equipment. In the event of conflicting COVID-19 Proclamations, Contractor shall follow the most applicable, restrictive and newest COVID-19 Proclamations.
D. An Unknown COVID-19 Condition is a COVID-19 Condition Contractor did not know about, and reasonably should not have known about, as of the date Contractor submitted its Bid. The requirements contained in COVID-19 Proclamations issued before submission of a Bid are not Unknown COVID-19 Conditions, and Contractor will be deemed to have knowledge of those requirements.
E. An Unknown COVID-19 Cost is a cost that: (i) is solely attributable to an Unknown COVID-19 Condition; (ii) is reasonable under the circumstances; (iii) is not the result of Contractor’s failure to comply with the contract documents or a COVID-19 Proclamation; and (iv) is not the result of a subcontractors’ or suppliers’ failure to comply with a COVID-19 Proclamation while on the Project Site or in connection with performance of the Work.
ARTICLE 4 COVID-19 CONDITIONS AND BID.

FROM: Marlene Subhashini, Assistant City Manager
Dane Hutchings, Managing Director, Renne Public Policy Group (RPPG)
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUBJECT: DRAFT 2024 STATE LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM AND POLICY
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council, by Minute Order, review, discuss, and provide feedback on the attached Draft 2024 State Legislative Platform and Policy.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
State legislation has the potential to have direct and significant impacts on a city’s legal authority; fiscal, operational, and environmental stability. Active legislative engagement protects and enhances the interests of Foster City’s residents and businesses. A legislative platform and corresponding policy enable the City to proactively engage on a wide variety of state legislative proposals that may impact the City’s ability to operate effectively. The platforms convey to legislators, policymakers, and the public where the City stands on important policy issues and legislative proposals. Upon City Council approval, the platform will assist staff and the City’s legislative advocacy firm, RPPG, to respond swiftly to the rapidly changing nature of legislative proposals throughout the year.
Earlier this year, the City Council adopted its key priorities and initiatives for Calendar Year 2023. One of the goals that the Council identified was to establish a legislative platform to guide and advance the City’s advocacy efforts. A deliverable identified
7.1 7.1 Staff Report
147
under this goal was to present a legislative platform and policy for Council consideration and adoption.
In August, City staff and RPPG held one-on-one deep dive sessions with each member of the Council for the purposes of developing the legislative platform. The ultimate goal was to craft a legislative platform that provides a framework that staff, and the consultant can continue to build upon each year. A primary takeaway from those meetings was the desire that staff bring back a reduced version of the platform for discussion versus the more comprehensive platform that was presented to Council in 2021.
As such, the 2024 Draft State Legislative Platform and Policy attached (Attachment 1) is a simplified version of what was presented to Council back in 2021. Should Council find the draft acceptable, staff proposes to bring back the final legislative platform and policy document for Council’s consideration and adoption as a consent item at the December 18, 2023, City Council Regular Meeting.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
At its core, legislative advocacy is working with individual lawmakers both within the City’s legislative district and those throughout the state, committee staff, the Governor’s administration and regulatory officials to support the City’s cause, initiatives, goals, policies, and priorities.
A legislative platform is a set of guiding principles that reflects the overarching ideals and priorities of the Council. In 2023 alone, the State legislature introduced a total of 3,030 individual pieces legislative and budgetary items. Having a legislative platform is critical in the effectiveness of an overall legislative advocacy program as it provides broad policy statements that enables the City and its legislative advocacy firm to sift through the thousands of legislative proposals introduced each legislative session while elevating those measures that fall within the scope of the platform. The practice of adopting a legislative platform and policy is commonplace for public agencies that wish to have a sustained and engaged presence in the State legislative process.
The platform is made up of policy statements, adopted by the City Council, that provides the framework for a city to respond to legislative issues of importance in a timely manner. A “legislative policy” is the procedure or approved process of adopting positions that align with the spirit of the legislative platform.
As noted previously, by adopting a legislative platform and policy, the City will enhance its ability to monitor, analyze, and respond to complex and swift moving legislation in a timely manner. Near the end of the legislative session each year, hundreds of bills are amended and move quickly through the process. Some of these bills could have detrimental effects or unintended consequences for public agencies. A legislative platform and policy allow advocates to quickly educate lawmakers in Sacramento on how legislation will impact Foster City.

Additionally, it is important to recognize that the State legislative process does not face the same scrutiny and transparency requirements imposed on local government (e.g., Ralph M. Brown Act compliance). The State legislative cycle moves fast and does not comport with the local government deliberate process (e.g., bringing each bill of interest to the Council for review, and adoption of a formal position). Through the legislative platform, the Council would grant flexibility for staff and RPPG to continue to engage on legislation that aligns with and/or defends the principles of the Council-adopted legislative platform. Actions may include reissuance of city position letters, negotiating on specific amendments and actions to ensure the City’s position is well represented in State policies.
Earlier this year, the City Council adopted its key priorities and initiatives for the calendar year 2023. One of the goals that the Council identified was to establish a legislative platform to guide and advance the City’s advocacy efforts. A deliverable identified under this goal was to present a legislative platform and policy for Council consideration and adoption.
In August, City staff and RPPG held one-on-one deep dive sessions with each member of the Council as well as spent considerable time with department heads and the City Managers Office for the purposes of developing the legislative platform. Meetings primarily focused on the following:
•State policies that have an impact on departmental operations •Assessing major issues/projects/initiatives that Council deemed important to the City and its residents.
•How best RPPG can support the City’s legislative advocacy efforts.
Addressing the City Council’s top priorities requires a multi-layered approach.
Maintaining and updating the legislative platform is an important component for the City’s overall legislative advocacy program. As a living document, it is recommended that the City’s legislative platform be reviewed and amended every other year in conjunction with the beginning of each two-year legislative session. However, should Council express an interest to make adjustments sooner, the process can be conducted on an annual basis.
Sustained engagement would include allowing staff and by extension, RPPG, to update and reissue policy letters as legislation is amended, actively engage with the City’s legislative delegation and other stakeholders on legislation that the Council has adopted a position on, as well as negotiate on bills and seek amendments in legislation to best position the City.
Each legislative session, the City Council will consider modifying its platform by taking into consideration emerging and ongoing legislative trends, issues emerging locally that may require state policy reforms, Council’s annual strategic priorities, or other factors deemed appropriate by the City to ensure its policy statements reflect the direction of the Council.
7.1 7.1 Staff Report

Using the approved Legislative Platform as a guide, the legislative policy outlines the formal process for responding to legislative proposals in a streamlined manner as follows:
1. Once a determination is made that a legislative proposal may impact the City, a letter outlining the City’s position (support, support if amended, oppose, oppose unless amended) will be drafted for the Mayor’s signature.
2. If the Mayor is unavailable, the Vice Mayor will sign the position letter.
3. If a legislative issue is not addressed in the adopted Legislative Platform but impacts the City, staff will place the matter on the City Council agenda for consideration.
4. The position letter will be sent to the bill’s author, the City’s legislative representatives, League of California Cities (Cal Cities), and other stakeholders as deemed appropriate.
5. A copy of the final letter will be distributed to the full City Council from the City Managers Office.

7.1 Attachment 1 - 2024 Draft State Legislative Platform and Policy
155
6 LEGISLATIVE POLICY
In alignment with Council approved annually adopted strategic priorities, the intent of the legislative policy is to codify a process to allow the City to have quick and sustained engagement on legislative issues important to the City.
The City Manager or designee will identify and inform Council on proposed legislation and other policy related matters that may have a direct and significant impact on the City’s fiscal, operational, and environmental health, and the overall quality of life enjoyed by Foster City residents and other stakeholders. This policy is not intended to limit the prerogative of individual Councilmembers from expressing their individual support for or opposition to any Local measure, State proposition, State or Federal legislation, or grassroots advocacy actions. However, in doing so, the member should clearly state that they are speaking for themselves, not on behalf of the Council or the City.
Position Adoption
In consultation with the City staff, the City Manager or designee shall be permitted to exercise discretion to adopt a formal legislative position without taking item s to the full Council so long as the proposed position is clearly in accordance with the City Council’s adopted legislative platform.
In the case where a pending State legislative proposal falls outside of the scope of the approved legislative platform or if there is any ambiguity , that item will be placed on a future Council agenda for review and consideration by the full Council.
Legislative Positions
The City’s legislative positions, as further defined below, may be supported with additional advocacy efforts, including but not limited to:
• Position letters, including updating said letters as legislation is amended and/or advances through the process, fact sheets, and other legislative advocacy support materials.
• Preparing staff and Councilmember testimony to legislative committees and other legislative and regulatory bodies; and
• In person meeting s and phone calls with members of legislative and regulatory agencies.
7.1 Attachment 1 - 2024 Draft State Legislative Platform and Policy
156
7 Possible positions that can be adopted on legislation include:
• Support – A support position indicates to the legislature, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders, that Foster City is in favor of the legislation in question. • Support if Amended – A support if amended position indicates to the corresponding legislature, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders, that Foster City is in favor of the legislation in question, if the requested changes are adopted. • Oppose – An oppose position indicates to the legislature, regulatory agency, and other stakeholders that Foster City is against the legislation in question. • Oppose Unless Amended – An oppose unless amended position indicates to the legislature, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders, that Foster City is against the legislation in question, unless the requested changes are adopted. • Neutral – A neutral position indicates to the corresponding legislature, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders, that Foster City is impartial on the legislation in question and does not wish to take a position or has formally removed their prior adopted position due to changes being made to the legislation or proposal (e.g., a bill that the city had an “oppose unless amended” position on was amended to address concerns, therefore the City is formally withdrawin g its opposition and moving to a “Neutral” position).
• Watch – A watch is traditionally an internal position which indicates the City of Foster City is monitoring the legislation. Should the bill be amended the City reserves its right to adopt a position as indicated above.
Council Communication
In order to ensure that the full Council is apprised of the City’s position, the City Manager or designee shall notify the Council of an adopted legislative position . Furthermore, the City’s legislative consultant and/or staff shall provide monthly state legislative tracking documents outlining priority legislation , status, and the City’s position if one has been adopted. The City’s legislative consultant and/or City staff shall provide monthly written updates to the full Council during key state legislative deadlines throughout each year.
Upon request by the Council, the City staff along with its legislative consultant can be asked to provide formal legislative updates to the full Council during a regularly scheduled Council meeting.
Using the approved Legislative Platform as a guide, the legislative policy outlines the formal process for responding to legislative proposals in a streamlined manner as follows:
1. Once a determination is made that a legislative proposal may impact the City, a letter outlining the City’s position (support, support if amended, oppose, oppose unless amended) will be drafted for the Mayor’s signature.
2. If the Mayor is unavailable, the Vice Mayor will sign the position letter.
7.1 Attachment 1 - 2024 Draft State Legislative Platform and Policy
157
8 3. If a legislative issue is not addressed in the adopted Legislative Platform but impacts the City, staff will place the matter on the City Council agenda for consideration.
4. The position letter will be sent to the bill’s author, the City’s legislative representatives, League of California Cities (Cal Cities), and other stakeholders as deemed appropriate.
5. A copy of the final letter will be distributed to the full City Council from the City Managers Office.

DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: RECREATION CENTER REBUILD PROJECT (CIP 301-778)
UPDATE ON PROPOSED RECREATION CENTER TEMPORARY
FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS PLAN DURING NEW
RECREATION CENTER CONSTRUCTION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council, by Minute Order, receive and accept the report by staff providing an update on the proposed Recreation Center temporary facilities and operations plan during construction of the Recreation Center Rebuild Project (Project), including alternate operation locations for staff, rentals and programs, and financial impacts.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At the regular City Council meeting on September 18, 2023, the City Council approved the schematic design and the project budget. As a result of the City Council’s acceptance via Minute Order No. 1940 of the report, the Project is currently in the Design Development phase. Given construction is scheduled to begin in September 2024, City staff have been developing a temporary facilities and operations plan during the closure of the Recreation Center.
The Recreation Center currently has eleven (11) general-use rooms available for rent or classes, comprising a total of 12,279 square feet of space. Staff plans to move programs to The Vibe Teen Center, Community Center, and school multipurpose rooms
8.1 8.1 Staff Report

(MPR) through the San Mateo-Foster City School District Joint Use Agreement (JUA), when space is available. Considering the limited available space, staff has chosen to explore using modular buildings as supplementary programming facilities, following the approach taken by neighboring cities during their own reconstruction projects.
After reviewing all current class offerings and regular facility rentals, staff foresee a challenge in accommodating the Ceramics program as it requires dedicated space for its equipment and materials. Designating a room exclusively for a single purpose use will limit the capacity to accommodate other users and activities. In addition, staff anticipates larger rentals that are often held in the Lagoon Room will be impacted during the construction period as we are unable to offer a comparable space. Due to space constraints that will be caused by the closure of the Recreation Center, other programs may need to be modified in terms of frequency, days of the week, or times in an effort to include all users during this transition period.
Staff is committed to maintaining the tradition of hosting community events in Leo J.
Ryan Park throughout the construction phase, whether they are City-sponsored or organized by private groups who go through the City's Interdepartmental Evaluation Committee (IDEC) process. Once the location for the temporary facilities is determined, staff will gain a better understanding of the construction zone for the project. Staff can then review each special event or program to determine its feasibility and if or how it can be executed within the specified parameters.
Staff is seeking the City Council's confirmation and guidance of the proposed temporary facilities and operations plan to be implemented during the anticipated two-year construction period of the Project. Staff plans to return to the City Council at its regular meeting on December 18, 2023, with a final plan for approval.
BACKGROUND
On November 21, 2022, the City Council approved an agreement with Group 4 Architecture, Research + Planning, Inc. (“Group 4”) for professional design, bidding, and construction support services for the Recreation Center Rebuild Project (CIP 301-678).
During the first seven months, Group 4 worked closely with staff to complete the conceptual design phase which included conducting extensive community outreach for feedback on key design layouts and features.
At the regular City Council meeting on May 15, 2023, the City Council confirmed: 1) the preferred conceptual two-story building design and site plan with the parking option that extended the exiting parking lot to the north, 2) confirmed alternates for consideration at end of schematic design, and 3) received an update on the conceptual design cost estimate and project budget.
On September 18, 2023, the City Council approved the schematic design and project budget. As a result of the City Council’s acceptance by Minute Order No. 1940 of the
8.1 8.1 Staff Report
160
report, the project has now entered the Design Development phase for the Project.
With construction scheduled to begin in September 2024, staff continue to review and plan for the temporary operations when the Recreation Center closes. Staff first began preparation for the Recreation Center’s temporary operations in 2018 when the City worked with Burkes Toma Architects. Staff revisited the transition plan last year and again earlier this month to verify its continued relevance and confirmed which classes and program could continue during closure.
ANALYSIS
The Recreation Center currently accommodates many classes, programs, and facility rentals within eleven (11) rooms which equates to 12,279 sq. ft of space. Staff plans to move programs to The Vibe Teen Center, Community Center, and multipurpose rooms (MPR) through the San Mateo-Foster City School District Joint Use Agreement (JUA), when space is available. While some programs can be relocated from the Recreation Center to these other venues, there is still a need for extra space as these other facilities are already accommodating some existing programs and rentals. The Vibe Teen Center and MPR rooms also have restrictions related to their availability and layout. Due to insufficient available space, staff explored the use of modular buildings to accommodate existing programming and rentals based on current needs. Another alternative that may be explored for additional space is the availability of unused commercial space within Foster City. While this may be a possibility, there are a number of prohibitive factors including less than ideal locations, high lease costs, and considerable improvements needed for the commercial space to function as a safe and usable recreation space.

Staff met with staff from various cities that recently rebuilt their Recreation/Community Centers to gain insight from their experience operating out of temporary facilities. The
8.1 8.1 Staff Report
161
cities of Millbrae and Burlingame utilized modular buildings during their transition phase.
While Burlingame decided to lease units, Millbrae chose to purchase custom-built modular buildings as their rebuild project was a result of an unforeseen incident and staff anticipated their transition period would be longer than a traditional rebuild. The City of Millbrae was interested in selling their modular buildings to the City. However, upon evaluation, staff did not move forward with that option due to the cost, size, and storage concerns. Burlingame chose to rent from a local modular unit company to temporarily house their staff and programming space during their construction. After several meetings with the City of Burlingame, staff believe leasing modular units is the preferred option for acquiring the necessary space to operate programs. Griffin Structures, Inc., the City’s construction manager, also worked with Burlingame in setting up their modular buildings.
Modular Units
It was determined that three (3) modular buildings and one (1) restroom trailer would be sufficient to help fill the gap that would be caused by the loss of the Recreation Center’s rooms. When deciding the desired size of the modulars, it was important to select room sizes that would meet the need of most of our current users, which is comprised of class participants and renters. Outside of the larger event spaces, rooms that can accommodate 20-30 people are the most used. It was determined that the standard modular classroom (24'x40') is the optimal choice due to its size, versatility and cost- effectiveness since it doesn’t have to be custom built. In addition to having two standard modular classrooms, adding one larger meeting space would not only accommodate larger classes but it would also meet the need for a space that can fit up to 60 attendees. Although the addition of modular units won't fully compensate for the loss of 12,279 sq ft of program space due to the closure of the Recreation Center, the temporary spaces will help mitigate much of the loss.
When the Recreation Center closes, park patrons would only be able to access restroom facilities located at the top of the Leo Ryan Park amphitheater or at The Vibe.
Including a restroom trailer with separate entrances for men and women would not only help meet the needs of park users on the south end of the park but also serve the guests and patrons using the modular classrooms. The addition of the restroom trailer helps to cover the loss of restroom facilities that were available to the public inside the Recreation Center. The modular buildings would be ADA accessible, including ramps, and have access to power, water, and sewage.

Working with Griffin Structures, staff explored two possible locations for the modular buildings and restroom trailer. Both of the desired locations are in Leo Ryan Park since it is anticipated that the Vibe will serve as the Parks and Recreation Department’s primary registration counter and most of the staff will be housed in either the Vibe or Community Center. The locations include: 1) South end of the main parking lot and 2) Leo J. Ryan Park tennis courts. Although it is anticipated that repairs may be necessary to address any damage the tennis courts might sustain when the modulars are removed, placement on the two existing tennis courts is preferred to retain as much of the parking lot as possible for park and facility users. The City’s construction manager also indicated that some of the parking lot will be needed for staging during construction which would reduce the overall parking spaces for both the temporary operations and for park patrons. To facilitate easy access and service to the restroom trailer or water and sewer connections, Griffin Structures recommends placing the restroom trailer in the southern parking lot. If the modular classrooms are located on the tennis courts, the restroom trailer can be in the small parking lot behind The Vibe. See Attachment 1 for Map of Proposed Modular and Restroom Trailer Locations.
The rental cost for the modular classrooms and restroom trailer for a two (2) year duration is $375,777. The fees also cover delivery, setup, and the disassembly and transportation of the buildings at the conclusion of the rental period. For water and sewage connections, it was determined the cost for an installation of a water and sewer connection ($44,300-$57,110) would be more cost-effective than using a third-party vendor to service the restrooms 3x weekly ($100,000). The current Recreation Center Rebuild Project budget includes a $380,000 allocation for the Temporary Facilities- Relocation Services line item.
Facility Rentals
The Recreation Center currently offers eleven (11) meeting/general-use rooms for rent (12,279 sq. ft of space). We anticipate being able to accommodate most small to medium-sized rentals (under 50 persons) by moving them to one of the alternative locations identified. However, Lagoon Room rentals will be the most challenging to accommodate as it is our largest room and accommodates up to 220 people. In an average year, sixty percent of our Lagoon Room rentals are for events over 115 people.
Though The Vibe and the Wind Room at the Community Center are often good alternatives to the Lagoon Room, they are not large enough to host over 115 people and the amenities and layout are very different. The Community Center’s Wind Room is smaller than the Lagoon Room, lacks a kitchen, and does not offer the same views of the water as the Lagoon Room. Though The Vibe is larger than the Wind Room, its layout does not allow for a formal seating arrangement as the space consists of multiple rooms and fixed features.
The anticipated loss of revenue from Lagoon Room rentals is estimated to be $68,307 each fiscal year during construction for a total of $136,614 during the two-year construction period.
8.1 8.1 Staff Report

Bright Horizon Chinese School is the only City concessionaire that operates in the Recreation Center. They are the City’s highest revenue producing concessionaire averaging $215,000 in revenue annually. Staff would like to support this program as it fulfills a significant community need for afterschool care and cultural education for over 100 youth, while a significant revenue source for the City.
Classes / Programs
In order to accommodate the maximum number of patrons and make the best use of the limited available space during construction, staff recommend that rooms not be dedicated for specific purposes, therefore allowing for greater flexibility.
Most of the Recreation Department sponsored classes offered on site serve between 15-30 students. Programs of this size can be moved to rooms over at the Community Center, The Vibe, and modular buildings. Larger classes, specifically fitness programs, will need to utilize larger spaces such as the Community Center’s Wind Room, the main floor of The Vibe, a school’s multi-purpose room (MPR), or a park during the warmer months. Staff also recognizes that some programs may need to change frequency, days, or times during the transition, to accommodate all facility users. As an example, the free weekly movie viewing for seniors might be rescheduled to an earlier time of the day to avoid any scheduling conflicts with other afternoon programs. While discussions with affected participants and facility users have initially started, staff will provide an update to all patrons after transition plans are finalized.
After staff reviewed all the current class offerings, the only class the City is unable to accommodate is Ceramics. The Ceramics program requires dedicated space and specific equipment, materials, and tools that must be stored for the program to function.
Additionally, the program needs to accommodate large kilns that require proper ventilation. While the Ceramics program cannot be accommodated during construction, staff began compiling a list of alternative locations where Ceramics students can attend classes while the program is suspended temporarily for construction. The anticipated loss of revenue due to the hiatus of the Ceramics program is approximately $89,175 per fiscal year, totaling $178,350 during the two-year construction period.
Staff are developing plans on how best to utilize The Vibe during construction. The intent is for the facility to continue to meet the needs of teens but also simultaneously serve as the new point of contact for general recreation services for the public. The final plans will be included in the update to the City Council in December.
Staffing
With the Recreation Center closure, full-time staff will move to offices at the Community Center, The Vibe Teen Center, and Corporation Yard. Front desk services (general customer services inquiries and class registration) will be set up at the front counters at the Community Center and The Vibe. The Recreation Division will continue to use part-
8.1 8.1 Staff Report
164
time staff to assist after normal business hours and on weekends in their usual capacity as recreation leaders and building attendants.
City and Non-City Sponsored Special Events
Staff intends to continue hosting community events during construction whether they are city-sponsored or through private organizers who go through the city’s Interdepartmental Evaluation Committee (IDEC) process. Staff began discussions with previous IDEC participants by providing project updates and extending invitations for individual meetings to explore options for resuming their events during the construction period. It is expected that all event logistics will need to be adjusted and modified to accommodate the construction work around the Recreation Center project. Once staff receives direction and confirmation from the City Council regarding the placement of temporary facilities, staff will continue to collaborate with Griffin Structures to determine the construction zone and where staging will be located. After the construction site is identified, staff will reassess each special event and determine if and how it can be executed within the given parameters. Examples of event modifications may include, but are not limited to, changing the site location, reducing the event footprint, or adjusting event components, among others. In certain cases, some events may need to be canceled until the Recreation Center reopens if staff determines that an event cannot be executed safely or does not align with our goal of hosting a quality program.
Project Milestones Timeline
Below is a tentative timeline of key milestones for the Recreation Center Rebuild Project as it pertains to transitioning out of the current facility to alternative locations.

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. However, the City has prepared and issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) for Public Review of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the RCRP Project (File No. UP2023-0003/ CIP 301-678). The Administrative Draft of the IS/MND was published for public review on July 26, 2023, and ended on August 15, 2023 and the comment period has closed. The IS/MND will be considered at the Planning Commission meeting on November 16, 2023, as part of the consideration of the Use Permit to demolish the existing recreation center and construct the new Recreation Center.
FISCAL IMPACT
The below table provides a summary of the anticipated revenue loss due to the hiatus of the Ceramics program and the loss of large (over 115 attendees) Lagoon Room rentals which may not be accommodated elsewhere. The annual estimated loss resulting from these displaced programs is approximately $157,482 per year, or $314,964 over the entire two-year construction period.

SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL UPDATE
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council, by Minute Order, receive and accept the report on the FY 2022-23 Fourth Quarter Financial Update.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Attached is the FY 2022-23 Fourth Quarter report. While the residual effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact the City’s transient occupancy tax (TOT), many of the other General Fund (Funds 001 to 003) categories have now surpassed pre-pandemic revenue levels. Growth in property tax, including robust Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) receipts, the State's backfill of property tax in lieu of vehicle license fees, and better than expected sales tax revenues culminated in an overall positive actual to budgeted revenue results. FY 2022-23 General Fund revenues and expenditures totaled $65.9 million and $48.4 million respectively, while Net Transfers Out was $3.52 million. Transfers Out included $3.50 million to the City’s Capital Improvement Projects Fund and $41,983 to the Housing Successor Fund for 20% of the loan repayment from the Successor Agency. Transfers In of $21,287 were from the Foundation Fund for the summer concerts.
Total General Fund (Funds 001 to 003) revenues exceeded adopted budget estimates by $8.90 million. Property tax revenues beat expectations by $2.8 million as assessed value growth was aided by gains in the price of home sales, completed development projects, and better than conservatively budgeted ERAF revenues. Property tax In- Lieu of Vehicle License Fee revenues was $1.1 million higher than budget as the State provided backfill for the previous years shortfalls. Sales tax revenues exceeded budget
8.2 8.2 Staff Report
169
by $1.28 million. The adverse impacts of COVID-19 including the increased use of remote meetings in lieu in-person sessions on transient occupancy tax continued.
Although TOT exceeded budget by $975,000, they were nonetheless at 78.1% of pre- pandemic levels. Due largely to the 350 basis points rise in the Federal Funds rate orchestrated by the Federal Reserve to combat inflation and strong demand for facility use and rentals, interest and rental income were $1.75 million higher than originally forecasted.
General Fund (Funds 001 to 003) expenditures savings (as compared to the amended budget) totaled $6.1 million as each department finished out the fiscal year within their respective General Fund budgets, with the largest favorable variances coming from Police, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, Community Development, and Human Resources of $1,684,000, $1,478,000, $1,095,000, $704,000, and $443,000 respectively. The combination of employee retirements/separations and a very tight labor market resulted in many unfilled vacancies, which contributed to both employee services expenditure savings as well as supplies and contract services savings from the lack of personnel.
The City’s June 30, 2023 Unrestricted General Fund balance (Funds 001 to 003) was approximately $58.6 million or 100% of FY 2023-24 budgeted expenditures. This level is well above the 33 1/3% to 50.0% reserve policy level established by the City Council.
The City's Capital Improvement Projects fund, internal Service funds, and the District's water and wastewater enterprise funds also ended the fiscal year with generally healthy reserve levels.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The City Council and City staff have committed to provide quarterly financial updates at City Council meetings to review quarterly financial performance and identify general economic trends and specific issues that may affect, positively and negatively, the City’s financial situation.
The report is intended to provide high level financial information for the City Council, City Departments, and the community as a whole. Supplemental revenue and expenditure analyses are also provided for those readers desiring more detailed financial information.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact with the acceptance of this report.

General Fund Unrestricted Reserves Ends Year at $58.6 million including receipt of the 2nd tranche of ARPA relief funds for $4.05 million.
The City’s General Fund Reserves (Funds 001to
003) ended FY 22/23 with an Unrestricted Reserve
balance of $58.6 million. This balance represents a
reserve level of 100% of FY 23/24 budgeted ex-
penditures of $53.5 million.
Total FY 22/23 General F und Revenues, including
$4.05 million of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
were $65.9 million, surpassing adopted budget esti-
mates by $8.9 million. To tal expenditures, exclud-
ing net Transfers Out were $48.4 million. Total
transfers out of $3.52 million included $3.5 million
to the City CIP Fund and $41,983 for Successor
Agency loan repayment designated to the Housing
Successor Fund. A transfer in of $21,287 were
from the Foundation Fund for the summer con-
certs.
Significant General Fund revenues are discussed
below.
Property Taxes: $37.2 million (includes $3.3 million
of Education Revenue Augmentation Fund “ERAF”
refunds from San Mateo County) or $2.8 million
above budgeted expectation s due primarily to a
$1.7 million variance in ERAF and moderate
growth in organic property tax revenues. ERAF
refunds are expected to have continued volatility
and subject to the State’s potential scrutiny. Real
estate transfer taxes totaled $211,000 and fell
short of budget by $94, 000 as the inventory of
homes available for sale diminished with the rise of
mortgage rates following the profusion of refi-
nancings when 30 year mortgage rates were in the
3% range.
Property Tax In Lieu of Vehicle License Fees (VLF):
$5.7 million or $1.1 million above budget as the
State provided backfill for prior period shortfalls.
Since the County’s distri bution of VLF revenues
are impacted by the number of non-basic aid
school districts; with dec lines impacting the availa- bility of monies for distri bution to the cities, the
recovery of any shortfalls from the State has inher-
ent uncertainty. Thus far, the State has approved
funding 2 years after the occurrence of annual VLF
shortfalls, but has not been supportive of a legisla-
tive fix to the VLF issue.
Transient Occupancy tax (TOT): $3.4 million or
$975,000 above the adopted budget estimates. Alt-
hough these revenues are st ill not at pre-pandemic
levels, the recovery trend is promising.
Sales tax revenues: $4.4 million or $1.3 million
above budget estimates. The higher price of gas and
merchandise along with st rong consumer spending
contributed to the robust results.
Business License Tax (BLT): $1.7 million, bettering
estimates by $254,000.
Interest and rental income: $3.2 million or $1.7 mil-
lion higher than estimates as the Federal Reserve’s
Federal Funds rate ascended 350 basis points in FY
2022-23 and demand for facility rentals accelerated.
Recreation fees/charges: $1.4 million or $157,000
above budget with solid demand for programing and
classes.
Total General Fund (Funds 001to 003) expenditures
were $48.4 million or $6.1 million below the amend-
ed budget. Personnel rela ted savings accounted for
$3.9 million and supplies and contract services $2.1
million. While the City was ab le to fill some posi-
tions, the multitude of staff vacancies and supply
chain disruptions contributed to the unexpended
employee services budget as well as delays and post-
ponement of work plans and related procurements.
During the year, the City made strong process in the
Levee CIP project and is expecting substantial com-
pletion by January 2024. Th e acquisition of 22 work-
force housing units were completed in August 2022.
Both the Water and Wastewater enterprises had
gains in its overall Net Positions and exceeded its
25% reserve levels for its operating funds and its $2
million minimum level for its capital improvement
projects program.
The City’s overall fiscal health at the conclusion of FY 2022-23 remains positive. However, the expiration
of ARPA funding, higher costs associated with adjust-
ments made from the results of the classification and
compensation studies, new labor agreements, and an
increase in head counts approved in the FY 2023-24
budget are contributing to anticipated multi-year
structural deficits to the City’s General Fund.
