TO: Mayor and Members of City Council
VIA: Stefan Chatwin, City Manager

FROM: Andrew Brozyna, Public Works Director
Kurt Zander, Building and Vehicle Maintenance Manager
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: APPROVING THE APPROPRIATION OF $24,000 FROM FUND 505 TO ACCOUNT NUMBER 505-0550-419-4251 AND

APPROVING A JANITORIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT IN THE
AMOUNT OF $348,184 PER YEAR WITH JULIO’S CLEANING
AND MAINTENANCE SERVICES FROM OCTOBER 1, 2024,
THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 2026, WITH OPTIONAL
EXTENSIONS THOUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 2029.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the appropriation of $24,000 from fund 505 to account number 505-0550-419-4251 and approving a vendor services agreement for janitorial services with Julio's Cleaning and Maintenance Services in the amount of $348,184 per year from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2026, with three (3) optional one-year extensions through September 30, 2029.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At its meeting on July 15, 2024, the City Council authorized the issuance of a Request for Proposal for Citywide Janitorial Services. Based upon an evaluation of the twelve (12) proposals received, City staff recommends approval of an agreement with Julio's Cleaning and Maintenance Services in the amount of $348,184 for a two year period from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2026, with three (3) optional one-year extensions through September 30, 2029. This contract amount consists of $338,184 for routine

6.1 6.1 Staff Report

8 maintenance and an additional allowance of $10,000 per year for on-call services. The adopted FY 2024-2025 budget for janitorial services is $325,000, which is less than the current cost of service by $23,184, so staff is recommending additional appropriation of $24,000 from Fund 505.

BACKGROUND
The City has contracted with commercial janitorial services to perform routine janitorial maintenance of the following City facilities since 1995:
•Corporation Yard (Administration Facility, Training Room, Data Room, Lunch Room, and Locker Rooms)
•City Hall
•Council Chambers
•Fire Administration
•Police Station
•Library/Community Center
•Recreation Center/Senior Wing
•Teen Center
The City’s current janitorial agreement expires on September 30, 2024. At its meeting on July 15, 2024, the City Council authorized issuing a Request for Proposal for Citywide Janitorial Services.

ANALYSIS
In response to its Request for Proposal, the City received proposals from twelve (12) janitorial service vendors. No proposals were disqualified based on staff assessment of the proposals and previous experience with the vendors. Table 1 summarizes the twelve (12) qualified proposals.

6.1 6.1 Staff Report

9 Imperial Maintenance $34,115.19 $409,382.28
Frank & Grossman $37,323.41 $447,880.92
Karla’s Janitorial $38,548.00 $462,576.00
Significant Cleaning $42,453.43 $509,441.16
Bamacor, Inc. $43,760.00 $525,120.00
Nova Commercial $46,579.99 $558,959.88
Universal Building $52,356.00 $628,272.00
Central Maintenance $54,630.00 $655,560.00
*Includes only permanent facilities
Based upon a thorough review of the proposals received, the Building Maintenance Division staff recommends entering into an agreement with Julio's Cleaning and Maintenance Services to provide Citywide Janitorial services for two years from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2026, with three (3) optional one-year extensions through September 30, 2029. In addition to having the lowest proposal for monthly and annual cost, Julio’s Cleaning and Maintenance Services is the City’s current vendor and staff has not identified any service issues that would disqualify them from performing the services required.

In addition to the routine maintenance services, proposers provided costs for on-call services, which can be accessed for limited janitorial needs outside of regularly scheduled maintenance, for instance during special events or incidents between regular maintenance activities. The attached agreement allows for on-call services up to $10,000 per year at the on-call hourly rate.

Since the temporary Recreation facilities had not been installed at the time that proposers were touring the facilities and preparing their proposals, the proposals were all based upon the current Recreation Center/Senior Wing facilities. It is anticipated that staff will engage in discussions with the selected vendor regarding the temporary facilities once the Recreation Center project construction gets underway, and may need to bring a contract amendment to the City Council at that time.

CEQA
This action is not a project under Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines, as the approval of the contract for routine janitorial services has no potential for a direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

6.1 6.1 Staff Report

10 FISCAL IMPACT
The line item for janitorial services in the adopted FY 2024-2025 Final Budget is $325,000, which is less than the proposed total contract cost of $348,184 by $23,184.

Staff recommends appropriating $24,000 from Fund 505 to Account Number 505-0550- 419-4251 to account for this difference. If the City chooses to exercise its option to extend the agreement in future years, the total amount due for services will increase 3% per year for each of the extension years.

In the event one or more defendants is unable to pay its share of defense costs due to bankruptcy or dissolution of the business, the VENDOR shall meet and confer with other parties regarding unpaid defense costs.

The duty of VENDOR to indemnify and save harmless, as set forth herein, shall include the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to require VENDOR to indemnify CITY and Estero Municipal Improvement District, its Council, boards, commissions, officers, employees and agents against any responsibility or liability in contravention of Section 2782 of the California Civil Code.

VENDOR’s responsibility for such defense and indemnity obligations shall survive the termination or completion of this Agreement for the full period of time allowed by law.

a. VENDOR shall hold City, its officers, agents and employees, harmless from liability of any nature or kind, including costs and expenses, for infringement or use of any copyrighted or uncopyrighted composition, secret process, patented or

b. VENDOR may be required to furnish a bond to City against any and all loss, damage, costs, expenses, claims and liability for patent, copyright and trade secret infringement.
c. VENDOR, at its own expense, shall defend any action brought against City to the extent that such action is based upon a claim that the Products supplied by VENDOR or the operation of such Products pursuant to a current version of VENDOR supplied operating software infringes a patent or copyright or violates a trade secret. VENDOR shall pay those costs and damages finally awarded against City in any such action. Such defense and payment shall be conditioned on the following:
i. That VENDOR shall be notified within a reasonable time in writing by City of any notice of such claim; and

6.1 Attachment 3 - Agreement

20 6
ii. That VENDOR shall have the sole control of the defense of any action on such claim and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise, provided, however, that when principles of
government or public law are involved, City shall have the option to participate in such action at its own expense.
d. Should the Products, or the operation thereof, become, or in VENDOR’s opinion are likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement of a patent or copyright or a trade secret, City shall permit VENDOR at its option and expense either to procure for City the right to continue using the Products, or to replace or modify the same so that they become non infringing. If none of these options can reasonably be taken, or if the use of such Products by City shall be prevented by injunction, VENDOR agrees to take back such Products and make every reasonable effort to assist City in procuring substitute Products. If, in the sole opinion of City, the return of such infringing Products makes the retention of other Products acquired from VENDOR under the Agreement
impractical, City shall then have the option of terminating the Agreement, or applicable portions thereof, without penalty or termination charge. VENDOR agrees to take back such Products and refund any sums City has paid VENDOR less any reasonable amount for use or damage.
e. VENDOR shall have no liability to City under any provision of this clause with respect to any claim of patent, copyright or trade secret infringement which is based upon.
i. The combination or utilization of Products furnished hereunder with equipment or devices not made or furnished by VENDOR; or

operating software; or

iv. The combination or utilization of software furnished hereunder with non-VENDOR supplied software.

The above stated insurance coverages required to be maintained by Vendor shall be maintained until the completion of all of Vendor's obligations under this Agreement except as otherwise indicated herein.

This notice requirement does not waive the insurance requirements stated herein. Vendor shall immediately obtain replacement coverage for any insurance policy that is terminated, canceled, non-renewed, or whose policy limits have been exhausted or upon insolvency of the insurer that issued the policy.

3.2 All insurance shall be issued by a company or companies admitted to do business in California and listed in the current "Best's Key Rating Guide" publication with a minimum rating of A-; VII Any exception to these requirements must be approved by the City Risk Manager.

3.3 If Vendor is, or becomes during the term of this Agreement, self-insured or a member of a self-insurance pool, Vendor shall provide coverage equivalent to the insurance coverages and endorsements required above. The City will not accept such coverage unless the City determines, in its sole discretion and by written acceptance, that the coverage proposed to be provided by Vendor is equivalent to the above-required coverages.

3.4 For any claims related to the Agreement, the Vendor’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance coverage at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City , its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City , its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the Vendor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.

3.5 Insurance coverages in the minimum amounts set forth herein shall not be construed to relieve Vendor for any liability, whether within, outside, or in excess of such coverage, and regardless of solvency or insolvency of the insurer that issues the coverage; nor shall it preclude the City from taking such other actions as are available to it under any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise in law.

3.6 Failure by Vendor to maintain all such insurance in effect at all times required by this Agreement shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Vendor. City , at its sole option, may terminate this Agreement and obtain damages from Vendor resulting from said breach.

6.1 Attachment 3 - Agreement

42 28
advanced or paid by City for such insurance. If the balance of monies obligated to Vendor pursuant to this Agreement are insufficient to reimburse City for the premiums and any associated costs, Vendor agrees to reimburse City for the premiums and pay for all costs associated with the purchase of said insurance. Any failure by City to take this alternative action shall not relieve Vendor of its obligation to obtain and maintain the insurance coverages required by this Agreement.

3.7 Should any of the required insurance (other than errors and omissions insurance) be provided under a form of coverage that includes a general annual aggregate limit or provides that claims investigation or legal defenses costs be included in such general aggregate limit, such general annual aggregate limit shall be double the occurrence or claims limit specified above.

3.8 City may (but is under no obligation to) secure project-specific insurance, wrap-up insurance, or administer an owner controlled insurance program ("OCIP"), in which case Vendor and its subcontractors shall communicate this fact to their insurance carriers and request that the risk of this project be excluded from their practice policies.

Construction Manager and its subcontractors shall afford City access to their books and records and cooperate with City in verifying the amount of savings realized.

EXHIBIT F
COVID-19 AMENDMENT/ATTACHMENT
(Vendor Agreement Form)
This COVID-19 Amendment/Attachment amends the Agreement between City of Foster City (“City”) and Julio’s Cleaning and Maintenance Services (“Vendor”) dated September 3, 2024.

1. Definitions
A. The 2019 novel coronavirus and the disease it causes are collectively referred to herein as “COVID-19”.

B. A “COVID-19 Condition” is something attributable to COVID-19 not caused by the Vendor (which for purposes herein includes all subcontractors) and beyond its reasonable control including but not limited to COVID-19 Proclamations and supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19, and other circumstances concerning COVID-19 not caused by the Vendor and which are beyond its reasonable control.

C. A “COVID-19 Proclamation” includes but is not limited to 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, the CDC or OSHA or Cal/OSHA, including without limitation the Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards. Vendor acknowledges that those orders, directives and guidance may require the Project to shut down or otherwise increase the Vendor’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, the Vendor shall follow the most applicable, restrictive and newest COVID-19 Proclamations.

D. An “Unknown COVID-19 Condition” is a COVID-19 Condition the Vendor did not know about, and reasonably should not have known about, as of the date the Vendor submitted its proposal. The requirements contained in COVID-19 Proclamations issued before submission of a proposal are not Unknown COVID-19 Conditions, and the Vendor 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 and unavoidable under the circumstances; (iii) is not the result of the Vendor’s failure to comply with the contract documents or a COVID-19 Proclamation; and (iv) is not the result of a subcontractors failure to comply with a COVID-19 Proclamation in connection with the performance of the Services.

2. COVID-19 Conditions and Proposal. Vendor is expected to know and is deemed to have known about COVID-19 Conditions when it submits its proposal, and COVID-19 Conditions must be accounted for in the Vendor’s price and schedule. In order to be

6.1 Attachment 3 - Agreement

46 32
entitled to any relief from a COVID-19 Condition, the Vendor must demonstrate that the issue, cost or delay is due to an Unknown COVID-19 Condition.

3. Compliance with COVID-19 Proclamations.

A. Vendor shall comply with COVID-19 Proclamations in the performance of the Services, irrespective of when the COVID-19 Proclamations are issued, and as they pertains to performance of the Services. The cost of such compliance is non- compensable, except as otherwise expressly stated herein.

B. Vendor is responsible to ensure that its subcontractors and suppliers comply with COVID-19 Proclamations at all times in connection with the performance of their Services.

4. Delay. The Vendor is entitled to a reasonable time extension for an Unknown COVID-19 Condition. Such time extension is non-compensable.

5. City Directed Suspension. The City may suspend Services due to COVID-19 health concerns, even though the Vendor may be allowed to proceed with the Services based on COVID-19 Proclamations. The City may suspend the Services for its convenience. The Vendor is entitled to a time extension for a City Directed Suspension, and the contract amount will be equitably adjusted if and to the extent Vendor incurs increased costs that are Unknown COVID-19 Costs.

6. Compensation for COVID-19 Costs. City will reimburse the Vendor for Unknown COVID-19 Costs which are not included in the schedule of values.

7. Safe Work Practices. Vendor shall implement safe work practices recommended by CDC or OSHA or Cal/OSHA, which may include, inter alia, screening all employees, subcontractors, or others (“worker(s)”) at all locations where Services are performed for signs and symptoms of COVID-19; adopting staggered work schedules, e.g., providing alternating workdays or extra shifts, to reduce the total number of employees on a site at any given time and to ensure physical distancing; identifying choke points where workers are forced to stand together, such as hallways and elevators, ingress and egress points, break areas, and buses, and implement policies to maintain social distancing; coordinating deliveries in line with the employer's minimal contact and cleaning protocols; and instituting a rigorous housekeeping program to reduce dust levels at all exterior locations. Vendor remains fully responsible for following and complying with changes to recommended safe work practices from time to time.

8. Monitoring and Reporting. City may require the Vendor to actively monitor the health of its workers through temperature checks and questionnaires of major COVID- 19 symptoms, including but not limited to cough, fever above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit and shortness of breath. Vendor shall immediately report to City any outbreaks of COVID-19 among its workers. The Vendor shall not knowingly allow any worker who has tested positive with COVID-19 to enter a City building. In the event of an outbreak

6.1 Attachment 3 - Agreement

47 33
or an exposure to COVID-19, the City may impose appropriate mitigation strategies which may be in consultation with the public health officer.

9. Conflicts. In the event of an inconsistency between this COVID-19 Amendment and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City and Vendor have executed this Covid-19 Amendment as of the date set forth above.

DATE: September 3, 2024

TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Stefan Chatwin, City Manager

FROM: Tracy Avelar, Chief of Police
DEPARTMENT: Police
SUBJECT: PURCHASE MAINTENANCE RENEWAL FOR POLICE

DISPATCH CUSTOMER PREMISE EQUIPMENT AND
APPROPRIATION OF $18,714.72 FROM THE GENERAL FUND
BALANCE TO ACCOUNT NO. 001-0630- 421-4246 FOR FY 2024-
2025

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council approve the attached resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the Foster City Police Department (FCPD) to purchase a one-year maintenance renewal in the amount of $18,714.72 from Intrado to maintain the existing Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) for the agency’s dispatch center and authorizing an appropriation of $18,714.72 from the General Fund to Account 001 0630-421-4246 for FY 2024-2025.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The existing CPE was purchased and installed in 2014 and included a five-year maintenance agreement with Intrado. Since the expiration of the five-year maintenance agreement, the FCPD has annually renewed it because Intrado is the sole source provider of maintenance service for the existing CPE. Because of Intrado’s sole source status, bidding has been dispensed as allowed by Section 3.04.110 B of the Foster City Municipal Code. The FCPD has utilized one-year maintenance agreements, and this is year 11. Utilizing one-year maintenance agreements is the preferred method to obtain service because of the imminent implementation of the cloud based, NextGen 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) system. NG9-1-1 is developed and will be deployed by the Cal OES 9-1-1

6.2 6.2 Staff Report

branch. However, delays have occurred in the deployment of NG9-1-1, so the FCPD continues to use its current CPE. The renewal of this Intrado maintenance agreement allows the support of the current CPE until the NG9-1-1 system is ready for deployment. The one-year Intrado maintenance agreement cost $18,714.72. The cost of the agreement is reimbursed fully by the Cal OES; a Commitment to Fund document has been provided to confirm reimbursement (Attachment 3). Reimbursement is often provided within 30 days of the purchase.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
CPE equipment is used to receive, and process calls made into the 9-1-1 system.

Some of the uses of the existing CPE include:

Receive wireless and landline 9-1-1 calls into the dispatch center. A text-to-9-1-1 system is in place to receive 9-1-1 text messages into the dispatch center.
Identify the location of a person calling 9-1-1.
Identify the location of calls into the 9-1-1 system that were dropped, abandoned by the caller, or misrouted.
Provide the agency with reporting and analysis information to examine and understand historical activity involving the 9-1-1 system.

The existing CPE was purchased and installed in 2014. According to the Cal OES 9-1-1 Branch, the recommended life of a CPE system is five years, which is when replacement CPE systems are recommended. When purchased by this agency, the existing CPE included five years of maintenance from Intrado. Since the expiration of the five-year maintenance agreement, the FCPD has annually renewed it because Intrado is the sole source provider of service for the existing CPE. Because of Intrado’s sole source status, bidding has been dispensed as allowed by Section 3.04.110 B of the Foster City Municipal Code. Maintenance for years 6-10 have been purchased annually.

The Cal OES 9-1-1 Branch is working on a cloud-based 9-1-1 system that will take the place of the existing 9-1-1 system. The new system is referred to as NextGen 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1). Cal OES is working closely with vendors, such as Intrado, to make this system available as soon as possible; however, unsatisfactory performance when vendors test their CPE using the NG9-1-1 system have caused substantial delays in the release of NG9-1-1.

Development of the NG9-1-1 system has been ongoing for several years. Because of the significant improvements and capabilities expected of the NG9-1-1 system when compared to the existing 9-1-1 system, the FCPD will retain the existing 9-1-1 system and CPE until the NG9-1-1 system is available. With the regular maintenance and service that Intrado has provided, the existing CPE has continued to serve the agency and community well. This is expected to continue through year 11.

6.2 6.2 Staff Report

50 7
1 7
Until the NG9-1-1 is available, the existing CPE must be maintained and serviced regularly, and expeditiously when problems arise. The agency’s CPE is essential and is heavily relied upon to provide necessary services to the community. Intrado has maintained the existing CPE for ten years; there have been no issues with Intrado’s service that would cause concern with renewing our agreement with Intrado for an additional year of maintenance and service. Included in the maintenance renewal from Intrado is software protection, remote technical support, on-site support, and hardware protection service. As the maintenance period will begin on 9/04/2024, Intrado confirmed the existing maintenance plan would continue uninterrupted as we work toward making payment.

Currently, NG9-1-1 deployment is behind schedule. The State has not provided an exact deployment time, but the FCPD will continue with the Intrado CPE maintenance service until final Implementation.

California Environmental Quality Act
Purchase of the one-year maintenance renewal from Intrado is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq. and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000 et. seq.), including without limitation, Public Resources Code section 21065 and California Code of Regulations 15378 as this is not a “project” that may cause a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
If approved, $18,714.72 will be appropriated to account No. 001-0630-421-4246 in the FCPD budget from the City’s General Fund. This purchase will be initially funded by the City and will be fully reimbursed to the City by the Cal OES 9-1-1 Branch. A Commitment to Fund document (Attachment 3) was provided by the Cal OES 9-1-1 Branch.

Notes
1 This quote is providing pricing for (3) call taking positions for Foster City PD for the following services:

- Software Protection
- On Site Maintenance
- Hardware Protection

Effective: 4 SEP 2024 - 3 SEP 2025

Previous Quote: Q78643D

2 Software Protection and Remote Technical Support is a coverage requirement with the purchase and ownership of Intrado CPE system equipment.

Software Protection and Remote Technical Support cannot be deleted from quotes or system orders.

Once a Software Protection and Remote Technical Support service contract is established for the site during system initial purchase, all items subsequently added to the site will not require an additional contract, but the acquisition of additional positions will increase the price of the services. a. For sites with one year coverage contracts, the increased price will be reflected in the quote at the next contract renewal point.
b. For sites with multi-year agreements, the customer will be required to retract the remaining years of the original purchase order and issue a new purchase order for the remaining period covering the original system and new positions.

If a contract for Software Protection and Remote Technical Support expires without rene wal, causing a lapse in coverage, the customer’s access to the Support Center will be discontinued and a notification of services termination will be issued. Reinstatement of the lapsed coverage will require the following from the customer:

a) Payment in full for the lapsed period at the prevailing per-seat rate

b) Purchase of a new maintenance agreement (one-year or five-year)

c) System Recertification fees in the form of a Class A inspection at $1,500.00 per day plus related travel and expense charges.

Software Protection
This offering provides for the availability of software product updates. Installation and training (if needed) are not included. Intrado will publish periodic software release bulletins to customers which announce important product updates for Intrado software. Customers may then request the new update from Intrado based on applicability of the release to customer’s system. Customer is responsible for installation of all these releases, unless the On -Site Maintenance Service is purchased. If On-Site Maintenance has not been purchased and the customer prefers to have Intrado deploy a new release, Intrado will dispatch appropriate personnel to perform the upgrade on a mutually agreed upon date at Intrado’s then current prices for such services.

Remote Technical Support
Support is provided by associates who specialize in the diagnosis and resolution of system performance issues.

Remote Technical Support is available 24/7 through both a toll free hotline and a secure customer Internet portal.

All service inquiries are tracked by a state-of-the-art CRM trouble ticket system that can be queried by customers through the online portal to obtain the most up-to-date status on their issues.

3 On-site Support Services are primarily designed to assist with issues that require system expertise in troubleshooting and restoration at the customer’s location.

On-site Support Services include travel costs and time and labor related to the service incident. Also included in the service are quarterly on-site preventative and routine maintenance reviews (four per year) of the customer ’s Intrado system. These maintenance visits can include the installation of routine updates to software. Training, configuration changes, reprogramming and system upgrade labor are not included in this offering, but are available for purchase.

On-Site Support Services options include the designation of a technician dedicated specifically to the customer ’s deployment(s), or alternately a non-dedicated resource available for use with other customers. Intrado may engage third-party vendors to provide the On-Site Support Services.

4 Hardware Protection Service provides for the replacement of any non-operating Intrado provided hardware component, with the exception of monitors. This offering only provides for the replacement of the hardware item.

Installation services and training (if needed) are not included. This service does not cover items where warranty has been voided due to abuse, Force Majeure or other actions.

When the Intrado Technical Support Center concludes that an item is non -operational, a fully functioning new or refurbished unit will be shipped to the customer. This unit will then become the property of the customer and will restore the functionality of the non-working item, but it may not be the exact same model as the original. The shipment of the replacement item will include a pre-printed shipping label used for the return of the nonworking item from the customer.

SUBJECT:HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-31 IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP

AND FINDING THAT THE ROADMAP IS WITHIN THE SCOPE

OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (SCH NUMBER
2022010509) PREPARED FOR THE FOSTER CITY HOUSING

AND SAFETY ELEMENTS UPDATE

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Resolution (Attachment 1) approving the Housing Element 2023-31 Implementation Roadmap (Roadmap) and finding that the Roadmap is within the scope of the Environmental Impact Report (SCH Number 2022010509) prepared for the Foster City Housing and Safety Elements Update.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Housing Element is an integral part of the Foster City General Plan that serves to identify the community’s housing needs; state the community’s goals and objectives for housing production, rehabilitation, and preservation, and conservation to meet those needs; and define the policies and programs that the community will implement to achieve the stated goals and objectives. On March 20, 2024, the City Council adopted a General Plan Amendment consisting of revisions to the 2023-31 Housing Element. It includes seven (7) goals, 37 policies and 106 programs to be implemented over an 8-year period.

Government Code Section 65400 requires each jurisdiction to prepare an Annual

6.3 6.3 Staff Report

62 7
3 0
Progress Report (APR) on the jurisdiction’s status and progress in implementing its housing element. Each jurisdiction’s APR must be submitted to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) by April 1 of each year (covering the previous calendar year. HCD has created the Housing Accountability Unit to ensure that jurisdictions follow through with their Housing Element commitments by implementing its goals, policies and programs.

In order to stay on track for a timely implementation of the goals, policies and programs outlined in the Housing Element, staff prepared a draft Roadmap and presented it to the City Council on August 19, 2024. At the meeting, staff sought direction from the Council on the draft Roadmap, including the following:

1. Does the City Council agree with the Guiding Principles presented in the Roadmap?

2. Does the City Council agree with the key strategies identified?

3. Should programs be added or subtracted from the Table 2, "Proposed Funding Summary by Program" as proposed for funding at this time?

4. Are the funding amounts in Table 2, "Proposed Funding Summary by Program" generally acceptable?
The City Council, by Minute Order, accepted the draft Roadmap as presented in the staff report. Staff also noted that staff will return to the City Council at a future date for: 1) acceptance of the Roadmap and direction to pursue Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) opportunities, 2) approval of the application for the HCD issued 2024 Local Housing Trust Fund (LHTF) Program NOFA in the amount of up to $5M, and 3) associated budget amendments/appropriations.

In a separate staff report for September 3, 2024, staff is recommending approval of the application for the HCD LHTF Program in the amount of up to $5M, and associated budget amendments/appropriations.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Implementation of the Housing Element includes the unit production goal of 1,896 units (777 market rate and 1,119 below market rate), the City of Foster City’s assessed Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) target. To reach the assessed target for below market rate (BMR) units, the City of Foster City must either facilitate development of a substantially greater number of market rate units than the target (if it relies solely on the 20% inclusionary housing requirements) and/or the city must facilitate development of 100% affordable projects. In addition to new production, implementation includes preservation of existing affordable units and providing fair housing and other program information and services.

The Roadmap is a strategy to guide planning and manage priorities for implementation of the Housing Element policies and programs, with special focus on the near-term priorities to facilitate meeting the seven (7) goals and 37 policies of the Housing Element, and the issued RHNA targets for the eight-year planning cycle. The Roadmap includes

6.3 6.3 Staff Report

63 7
3 0
recommendations for leveraging the city’s available housing funds by using them as matching funds for county and state housing funding opportunities advertised through Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs). Staff sees this as a working document that will be modified and adjusted as conditions change, such as when new funding opportunities become available, funding applications are not successful, or opportunities for collaboration with other jurisdictions or organizations become available. The Roadmap identifies potential sources of funding and could also provide the staff with the flexibility to apply for future funding opportunities up to a certain amount that are consistent with the Housing Element goals and policies in order to provide staff with the ability to respond to short-turnaround applications. It includes prioritization of programs, financial analysis, and recommendations for the use of the city’s limited available housing funds.

The City maintains several funds related to affordable housing. Some of these funds are available for implementation of Housing Element programs and some are dedicated for specific purposes. The various funds and their sources are described in detail in the Roadmap.

At the present time, the amount of housing funds available for implementation of Housing Element program adds up to approximately $8 million as shown in Table 1. The amounts available in each fund may change slightly when the FY 2023-24 closing balances are finalized. Because the main source of funds, the Commercial Linkage Fee (Fund 137), is dependent on the timing, amount, and type of future development, the projection for additional funds is uncertain. In addition, approximately $1.4 million in shared equity for the seven Emerald Bay ownership units would be added to Fund 122 if those units are sold or refinanced after the deed restrictions expire in 2026, but the timing for those sales is uncertain. Staff’s recommendations assume no significant additional housing revenues within the 2023-2031 Planning period. If significant revenues are received, the spending plan in the Roadmap can be adjusted.

In addition to the funds shown in Table 1, funds in Fund 128 General Plan – Building and Construction Ordinance – Zoning Code Maintenance Fund can be used to implement programs that require amendment of the general plan or building or zoning regulations.

The potential sources most relevant to Foster City are provided in the Roadmap. Please refer to Exhibit A, attached to Resolution (Attachment 1).

Funding Summary
The Roadmap includes a funding strategy to utilize existing affordable housing funds together with prospective matching funds to the extent feasible as shown in Table 2 to implement Housing Element programs that requires extensive financial resources. This proposal includes using 5.49 million in City funds of the available $8.0 million, including $4,675,000 of the $5,405,386 in Fund 137 Commercial Linkage Fee, which has a five- year time limit from the date of each receipt. The funding and implementation of associated programs would be spread out over the six years remaining in the 2023-2031 Planning period.

The funding strategy outlined in Table 2 may change as additional financial resources are secured or other conditions change, including not being successful in obtaining an award of HCD LHTF monies. Staff will also collaborate with the City Attorney’s office on a more detailed review to ensure that the proposed uses of the funds are consistent with any restrictions for the specific funding sources. Staff is not proposing any spending from Fund 124 at this time in order to maximize the funds spent from Fund 137 Commercial Linkage Fee that have a time limit. The use of Fund 124 may be revisited for future Housing programs.

1. Executive Summary
This Housing Element 2023-2031 Implementation
Roadmap (”Roadmap”) provides a strategy to guide
planning and priorities for implementation of the
Housing Element policies and programs, with special
focus on the near-term priorities to facilitate meeting the seven goals, 37 policies, and 106 implementation
programs of the Housing Element, and the issued RHNA
targets for the eight-year planning cycle. The Roadmap
includes prioritization of programs, financial analysis, and recommendations for the use of the City’s limited
available housing funds. The City’s currently available housing funds are approximately $8 million.

Most of the implementation programs can be
accomplished with existing resources, primarily staff
time and City Council approval. A few, however, require additional funding. The Roadmap includes
recommendations for leveraging the City’s available housing funds by using them as matching funds for county and state housing funding opportunities advertised through Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs). Many of these sources are very competitive and/or require conditions that don’t apply to Foster City at the present time, such as proximity to major transit or “shovel ready” projects. The Roadmap includes the recommended allocation of the City’s funds to the proposed programs.

The Roadmap is a working document that will be modified and adjusted as conditions change, such as when new funding opportunities become available, submitted funding applications are not successful, or opportunities for collaboration with other jurisdictions or organizations become available. Minor adjustments may be made by the Community Development Director with major changes in direction to be reviewed by the City Council. The Roadmap identifies potential sources of funding and provides staff with the flexibility to apply for future funding applications up to $50,000 that are consistent with the Housing Element goals and policies in order to provide staff with the ability to respond to short-turnaround funding opportunities.

2. Introduction
The Roadmap provides a recommended
approach to implement the goals, policies,
and programs contained in the 2023-2031
Housing Element, adopted May 22, 2023
with revisions adopted March 20, 2024. In
addition, the Roadmap ensures use of
appropriate funds and funding opportunities
and provides an overview of financial
planning resources and tools available for
implementing the Housing Element
programs.

The Housing Element is an integral part of
the Foster City General Plan that serves to
identify the community’s housing needs;
state the community’s goals and objectives
for housing production, rehabilitation, and
conservation to meet those needs; and
define the policies and programs that the
community will implement to achieve the
stated goals and objectives.

On March 20, 2024, the City Council adopted
a General Plan Amendment consisting of revisions to the 2023-31 Housing Element and on April 18, 2024, the City received a letter from Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) that the adopted housing element is in substantial compliance with State Housing Element Law.

This Roadmap analyzes priorities, resources, funding opportunities, and budget requirements for implementing the seven goals outlined in the Housing Element.

This Roadmap will be updated periodically by the Community Development Department to reflect completed tasks and progress as well as to refine the Roadmap for future years.

3. Summary of Housing Needs
The Council adopted Housing Element includes seven (7) primary housing needs for the 2023-31 planning period. The seven primary housing needs identified for the City of Foster City are:

1.Provide resources and/or access to resources to address the high cost of housing – about

32.6% of renters and 32.9% of owners are cost burdened or severely cost burdened.

2.Provide opportunities to age in place – Increasing senior population results in needs to age in place, move to multi-family and/or accessible units.

3.Increase the housing supply – the increase in jobs to household ratio creates need for more units.

4. Provide opportunities for home ownership for low- and moderate-income households – costs are out of reach for households earning a low or moderate income.

5.Provide more housing choices for those with disabilities – persons with disabilities face additional housing challenges.

6.Increase the supply of extremely low-income units – very few housing units are available for extremely low-income households.

7.Increase opportunities for a wide variety of housing types – a variety of housing types in all areas of the city are needed to provide housing choices for all types of households.

The Housing Element includes a Housing Needs Action Plan that organizes the strategies and programs of the Housing Element by each need.

The production of additional housing units to address housing needs is a key component of the Housing Element. The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) determines the housing production targets for each jurisdiction in the nine-county Bay Area. Foster City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for 2023-2031 is 1,896 units. The breakdown of the number of units based on the affordability levels is shown in Table 1:

VERY LOW- INCOME
UNITS

LOW-INCOME
UNITS

MODERATE-INCOME
UNITS

ABOVE MODERATE-INCOME

UNITS TOTAL UNITS
520 299 300 777 1,896
The RHNA is based on factors including population growth, job growth, increasing diversity, an increasing number of seniors, percentage of households with incomes below the area median- income, home values, rents, and single-family home growth. To meet the RHNA targets for 2023-

2031 will be extremely challenging for Foster City, due in large part to the lack of available vacant land and factors out of the City’s control such as interest rates and construction costs. This Roadmap provides a framework for prioritizing factors that are within the City’s control, including providing opportunities for expediting and streamlining the development review processes, prioritizing certain types of housing, and creating incentives.

4. Housing Element Goals, Policies, and
Implementation Programs
Chapter 8, Housing Goals, Polices, and Programs, of the Housing Element establishes the housing goals and policies for the city and describes the implementation programs that the city needs to undertake in the 2023-2031 planning period. These goals, policies, and programs aim to encourage additional housing in a way that is balanced with the community’s desires to retain the aspects of Foster City that make it a great place to live, work, and play. The seven (7) goals are shown in Table 2.

These seven (7) goals can be seen as part of a framework for new housing production that will address a variety of housing needs, the preservation of existing affordable housing, and strengthen tenant protections.

Chapter 8 of the Housing Element includes policies and programs with various timeframes to work toward these goals. These programs are summarized in Housing Element Table 8-5:

Policy/Program Matrix (see Appendix A). To meet the seven (7) Housing Element goals and housing needs, there are 37 policies and 106 programs included in the Housing Element. Of these 106 programs, 60 are ongoing or need to be done annually, and two need to be done quarterly.

This Roadmap focuses on the programs that require new efforts or programs, with less emphasis on the required continuation of established procedures and programs.

TABLE 2: HOUSING ELEMENT GOALS
H-A Goal: Reinforce the City’s Commitment to Meeting Housing Needs H-B Goal: Protect Existing Housing, Waterfront Character and Resources H-C Goal: Protect the Supply and Affordability of Rental Housing H-D Goal: Pursue Public and Private Redevelopment Opportunities to Increase the Supply of Housing

5. Financial Resources
The implementation of the Housing Element programs, especially the production of affordable housing, requires significant funding. This section of the Plan explores options for internal and external funding resources for implementing affordable housing strategies.

Implementation of the Housing Element includes a housing unit production goal of 1,896 units (777 market rate and 1,119 below market rate), Foster City’s assessed production target. To reach the assessed target for below market rate units, Foster City must either facilitate development of a substantially greater number of market rate units than the target and/or the City must facilitate development of 100% affordable projects. In addition to new housing production, implementation includes preservation of existing affordable units, addressing housing for special needs populations, and affirmatively furthering fair housing by expanding housing mobility and choices as well as providing improved access to fair housing information and services.

A. CITY FINANCIAL RESOURCES
The City maintains several funds related to affordable housing which are summarized below.

Some of these funds are available for implementation of Housing Element programs and some are dedicated for specific purposes. The discussion below describes the purposes, source of revenue, and obligations of the various funds, which are summarized in Table 3, including amounts available for Housing Element implementation.

For the funds that are available for Housing Element implementation, the factors that were used to determine the amounts available for Housing Element implementation, such as deductions for existing obligations, are shown in Table 5 and projected revenues are shown in Table 6.

Successor Agency Affordable Housing Fund (Fund 122)
From the creation of the Community Development Agency (CDA or ‘Agency’) in 1981 to the dissolution of redevelopment agencies by the State in 2012, the City’s major source of funds for affordable housing was the Agency’s set-aside housing fund. At the time the Agency was dissolved, the State “swept” $12.1 million of the Agency’s funds that were not already obligated.

During the tenure of the Agency, 383 units of affordable housing were created, including both rental and ownership units (including First-Time Homebuyer Loans).

In 2012, the City Council exercised its right to become the Successor Housing Agency to the former CDA. All non-cash housing assets and obligations, including the affordable housing units formerly owned and operated by the Agency, and loans receivable from the Metro Center Senior Housing Project and individual borrowers under the former First Time Homebuyer Loan Program, were transferred to the Successor Agency. Fund 122 was established to handle the revenues and expenditures related to these non-cash housing assets and obligations.

6.3 Exhibit A - Housing Element 2023-2031 Implementation Roadmap

82 HO U S I N G EL E M E N T 2 0 2 3 - 2 0 3 1 IM P L E M E N T A T I O N RO A D M A P 10 | P a g e
A separate fund, Fund 604, established to manage the continuing financial obligations of the Successor Agency, including affordable housing obligations related to Marlin Cove and Miramar Apartments and monitoring affordable housing covenants in various developments, are funded from the tax increment received by the Successor Agency (Fund 604).

The budget for Fund 122 includes continued expenditures related to operating and maintaining the six (6) City-owned affordable housing units, property management services, landscaping, and other maintenance costs, as well as initiatives that were formerly funded by the CDA that support and enhance the availability of affordable housing in Foster City, such as the HIP Housing Homeshare Program and HEART (Housing Endowment and Regional Trust) dues.

In March 2013, the City Council established a policy to retain a fund balance of at least $300,000 to serve as a reserve for capital repairs to the units in the Existing Unit Purchase Program (EUPP).

Revenues going into Fund 122 include rental income from the six EUPP units, first-time homebuyer loan repayments, and Metro Senior Apartments loan repayments. Potential future revenue includes an equity share of the sale or first refinancing of any of the seven deed- restricted affordable ownership units at Emerald Bay after the deed restrictions will expire in 2026.

City Affordable Housing Fund (Fund 124)
The City created a City Affordable Housing Fund in 2012 (Fund 124) with initial funding from the one-time “boomerang” of $3.3 million that was the City/EMID share of the one-time “sweep” of CDA funds. The City dedicated these funds to the development of the 100% affordable Alma Point Senior Apartments.

Revenues into Fund 124 include loan repayments to the city related to Foster Square.

General Plan -Building and Construction Ordinance – Zoning Code Maintenance Fund (Fund 128)
This fund 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.

Commercial Linkage Fee (Fund 137)
In 2016, the City Council adopted Ordinance 606, establishing Chapter 17.88, Affordable Housing Commercial Linkage Fee. This fee provides a mechanism for new commercial development to pay a fee to offset the impacts of the development on the need for affordable housing. The first revenue of $360,580 into this fund occurred in FY 2020-2021. A payment of $4,789,410 was made in March 2024 by Gilead Sciences.

83 HO U S I N G EL E M E N T 2 0 2 3 - 2 0 3 1 IM P L E M E N T A T I O N RO A D M A P 11 | P a g e
The nexus studies documenting the need for this type of fee are available on the City’s website (https://www.fostercity.org/commdev/page/residential-development-standards-and-fees).

Commercial Linkage Fee revenues are subject to spending and reporting requirements under the Mitigation Fee Act.

Revenues into Fund 137 are anticipated from future development projects.

Below Market Rate Inclusionary In-Lieu Fees (Fund account to be established) In March 2022, the City adopted Ordinance 644, establishing Chapter 17.90, Below Market Rate Inclusionary Housing Program, which allows payment of a Below Market Rate Housing In-Lieu fees for developments of five (5) to nine (9) units. Fractional fees are also allowed for all developments for requirements of less than 0.50 below market rate units. No projects have been subject as yet to these fees.

Below Market Rate Housing In-Lieu fees revenues are subject to reporting requirements under the Mitigation Fee Act.

Tenant Relocation Assistance Fund – Foster’s Landing (Fund 138) In FY 2020-21, the City established the Tenant Relocation Assistance Fund to fund programs, in partnership with Essex Properties to help minimize the impacts of expiring affordable housing covenants to the residents of Foster's Landing. This program has been completed.

Workforce Housing (Fund 139)
In August 2022, the City of Foster City purchased 22 workforce housing units located in the Pilgrim Triton Master Plan development project using $7 million from the Capital Asset Acquisition and Replacement Fund (Fund 326). The Workforce Housing Program is designed to address the needs of first responders, public employees, and teachers in the very low-, low-, and moderate-income categories in order to make it possible for public servants to live near where they work. At the direction of the City Council, any net income from the rental operation of the 22 units must be used to repay Fund 326 (City Resolution No. 2022-42).

Equipment Replacement Fund – Workforce Housing (Fund 140) This fund is held for replacement and acquisition of 22 workforce housing units’ fixtures and equipment.

Local Housing Trust Fund (Fund 145)
A Local Housing Trust Fund (LHTF) isn’t necessarily a new funding source but provides a mechanism to aggregate funds from various sources. It enables Foster City to apply for matching funds from some other sources. Foster City created a Local Housing Trust Fund on February 20,

84 HO U S I N G EL E M E N T 2 0 2 3 - 2 0 3 1 IM P L E M E N T A T I O N RO A D M A P 12 | P a g e
2024 ( City Resolution No. 2024-9). The dedicated funding source for the LHTF is Commercial Linkage Fees.

Successor Agency of the Community Development Agency (Fund 604) The Successor Agency fund is used to account for assets held for Foster City’s Successor Agency to the City’s former CDA. The Successor Agency Fund is a Private-Purpose Trust Fund that accounts for the accumulation of resources to be used for payments of recognized obligations.

The remaining obligation is the payment of tax increment subsidy and utility allowance for the Marlin Cove Apartments.

The financial activities of the fund are excluded from the Government-wide financial statements but are presented in separate Fiduciary Fund financial statements.

B. COUNTY FINANCIAL RESOURCES
The County of San Mateo offers two Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs) per year – one in January and one in April. The County-administered funds come from county, state, and federal sources. The City of Foster City has been awarded nearly $200,000 in loaned funds for

6.3 Exhibit A - Housing Element 2023-2031 Implementation Roadmap

86 HO U S I N G EL E M E N T 2 0 2 3 - 2 0 3 1 IM P L E M E N T A T I O N RO A D M A P 14 | P a g e
rehabilitation of two of the Existing Unit Purchase Program Homes to transition them to future supportive housing. The City has two (2) years to spend the funds.

The second NOFA is for low interest loans for development construction. Foster City did not have an active project for the 2024 NOFA. However, staff may apply for a future NOFA if the City of Foster City partners with a nonprofit affordable housing developer and has a specific site eligible for development. This type of funding is typically used for 100% affordable projects that need to assemble financing from multiple sources to make the development possible. The use of this type of funding includes a requirement to comply with prevailing wage, so is not usually attractive to developers of mixed-income projects. The Alma Point 100% affordable project utilized County funds through this process.

In addition to the two NOFAs named above, the County also offers discretionary funding through Measure K. Measure K is a half-cent, countywide sales tax. The measure was placed on the November 2016 ballot to extend a previously approved half-cent tax until 2043 with the goal of providing local funds for local needs.1 Measure K funding is allocated annually for the County by the County Board of Supervisors for seven (7) categories of need, including:
Public Safety
Health and Mental Health
Youth and Education
Housing and Homelessness
Parks and Environment
Older Adults and Veterans Services
Community Services
The city submitted an application for $35,000 on August 2, 2024 for Measure K funds to support a pilot Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP). The goal of the ERAP is to provide one-time emergency rent relief of one (1) month of rent up to a maximum of $3,000 for Foster City renters who are at risk of displacement within the next three (3) months. Staff will draft the details of the pilot program and present it to the City Council at a future meeting. While the amount of funding requested is relatively small, the fund has the potential to help a minimum of 10 tenants with one-time grants up to $3,000 each. The total amount being requested is $35,000 including $5,000 for administration of the program.

In addition, the County separately tracks one-time loans and initiatives that are funded at the recommendation of a member of the Board. These initiatives are approved by the full Board of Supervisors outside of the budget process to quickly meet unanticipated needs, leverage other funding sources and fill critical service gaps. These are collectively categorized as “District Specific” or “District Discretionary” initiatives. For fiscal year 24-25, the County Board of Supervisors has allocated $4 million to discretionary grant funding to cover funding gaps in 1 From the County’s Measure K Website: About Measure K – San Mateo County Measure K (smcmeasurek.org).

C. REGIONAL FINANCIAL RESOURCES
Housing Endowment and Regional Trust (HEART)
HEART is a 501(c)(3) that was founded in 2003 as a public/private partnership among the cities in San Mateo County, the County, and the business, nonprofit, education, and labor communities to create more affordable housing in San Mateo County. To date, HEART has invested over $19 million to fund over 1,300 affordable homes. HEART’s programs include First-Time Homebuyer down payment assistance loans, loans to nonprofit developers to build or renovate affordable apartments near transit, and ADU plans and handbook. HEART notes on their website that for the developer loans, preference will be given to applications offering a greater number of affordable units, based on HEART funding per unit, and/or deeper affordability targeting. As well as in areas that include, but are not limited to: disadvantaged communities, infill development, and high/low resource and high segregation and poverty areas; high-density developments in Location Efficient Communities; and/or projects with proximity to public transportation.

HIP Housing
HIP Housing, under agreement with Foster City, provides a Home Sharing program that matches people who have space in their home to share, with people who are searching for an affordable place to live. HIP also provides a Self Sufficiency Program that provides housing scholarships and intensive trauma-informed case management to low-income parents and emancipated foster youth. HIP Housing Affordable Ventures (HHAV) also manages the six City-owned units in the Existing Unit Purchase Program as well as the 22-unit City-owned Workforce Apartments.

Bay Area Housing Finance Authority (BAHFA)
This regional housing finance authority was established by Assembly Bill 1487 in 2019. Several pilot programs have been initiated, including a pipeline pilot to provide an inventory of affordable housing projects in the pipeline but for which not all funding is secured, preservation programs, and anti-displacement pilot programs.

D. STATE AND FEDERAL FINANCIAL RESOURCES
The State of California’s Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) issues multiple Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) opportunities annually. See NOFA Calendar 2024- 2025 for the full NOFA Schedule for HCD.

Table 4 summarizes state issued NOFAs that staff will monitor and review for potential application.

Additional Information on Specific Funding Sources
Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC)
The California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC) allocates federal and state tax credits to the developers of affordable housing for households at 30% to 80% of median-income. This is a competitive process. Metro Senior Apartments, Miramar Apartments, and Alma Point Senior Apartments utilized tax credits.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
CDBG is a federal program providing funds to jurisdictions that meet certain population thresholds. The jurisdiction can use the funds for a wide variety of purposes such as social services, capital projects, and affordable housing developments. Foster City does not meet the 50,000-population requirement to be an “entitlement city” and receive its own allocation of CDBG funds. The City has participated with San Mateo County via a Cooperation Agreement since 1975. Participation as part of the “Urban County” increases the amount of funds that come to the County for housing programs and makes the City eligible for grant opportunities or other programs that utilize these funds. The City has utilized these funds through the Rehabilitation Loan Program (now discontinued) and funding through other organizations, such as Rebuilding Together Peninsula. The Alma Point affordable housing project by MidPen Housing was able to use HOME funds, in part because the City had a Cooperation Agreement.

Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD)
HUD awards discretionary funding through over 20 Grant programs that support HUD initiatives, including Affordable Housing Development and Preservation, Community and Economic Development, Environment and Energy, Fair Housing, Homelessness, Homeownership, Rental Assistance, Supportive Housing and Services. NOFAs are released at various times during the year and applications are generally due in May through November, depending on the program.

Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA)
PLHA funds are awarded similar to the CDBG program. The funds can be used for a variety of projects and programs that assist in addressing housing needs. The City is able to participate through the County.

Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers
The Housing Choice voucher program is a federal program of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administered by the San Mateo County Housing Authority. The voucher provides rental subsidies to low-income households to pay the difference between 30% of their income and the federally approved payment standard. The program allows households to find their own housing. Foster City adopted Chapter 5.72 in 2013 requiring landlords of a structure with more than ten units to accept Section 8 and other types of rental vouchers.

Effective January 1, 2020, California source of income protections went into effect requiring all

90 HO U S I N G EL E M E N T 2 0 2 3 - 2 0 3 1 IM P L E M E N T A T I O N RO A D M A P 18 | P a g e
landlords in California to accept Section 8 and VASH (Veteran) vouchers and other forms or rental assistance.

Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) Vouchers
The VASH voucher program combines HUD’s Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance for homeless veterans with case management and clinical services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Other State Resources
Many other housing funding programs are administered by HCD. Housing developers and housing organizations are also eligible to apply for many of these programs.

E. EXISTING AND PROJECTED REVENUES FROM EXISTING SOURCES Existing funding resources as of the beginning of FY 2024-25 are shown in Table 5 below. The existing funding resources total is approximately $8.0 million. Table 5 does not include Fund 128 General Plan – Building and Construction Ordinance – Zoning Code Maintenance Fund that can be used to fund amendments to the General Plan and municipal code.

Projected revenues based on existing funding resources and likely revenues are shown in Table 6 below. The beginning balance of $8.0 M is anticipated to grow to $8.4 M by FY 2029-30. Because future revenue is primarily dependent on commercial development to generate commercial linkage fees, the timing of future revenue is not very predictable. This reinforces the need to leverage the City’s existing funds as much as possible, i.e., to use funds as a match for County, State, or Federal funds.

The County Loan for Existing Unit Purchase Program (EUPP) renovation is shown as approved by the County, and if accepted by the City will be restricted to the EUPP Renovation project.

6. Staffing Resources
A. FOSTER CITY
The implementation of the Housing Element is primarily the responsibility of the Community Development Department. The Community Development Department’s two divisions each play a key role in supporting the provision of housing. The Planning/Code Enforcement Division ensures that new developments meet City standards as provided in the General Plan, Municipal Code, and other City policies. The City Council approved the position of Housing Coordinator in FY 2022-23. The position was filled in January 2023. The Housing Coordinator monitors developments with below market rate units subject to Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreements, including review of annual reports and advising on issues as they arise. This includes the six City-owned units in the Existing Unit Purchase program and the new 22-unit Workforce Apartments project. The Planning/Code Enforcement Division staff also oversee implementation of other programs of the Housing Element. The Code Enforcement program is responsible for maintaining the appearance of the community in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Code.

The Building Inspection Division is responsible for ensuring that all construction project permitting within the City complies with the California Building Code, the Foster City Municipal Code and all other applicable codes and regulations.

The City utilizes consulting services when necessary to provide expanded capacity.

Funding is primarily from the General Fund with additional funds from Fund 128 General Plan – Building and Construction Ordinance – Zoning Code Maintenance Fund for work involving amendments to the General Plan and building and zoning regulations in the Municipal Code.

Figure 1 illustrates the make-up of the Community Development Department.

B. SAN MATEO COUNTY
The San Mateo County Department of Housing includes the Housing & Community Development (HCD) and the Housing Authority of the County of San Mateo (HACSM). The HACSM administers the HUD Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. The HCD team administers the County’s Affordable Housing Fund and other housing programs.

The San Mateo County Department of Housing provides support to city staff by advising the city regarding the applicability of County NOFA opportunities to meet the city’s needs, including helping to ensure the proposed program meets the requirements of the specific funding source.

When there is a specific housing development requesting funding, such as Alma Point, the county provides support and assistance in securing funding from various sources.

The San Mateo County Human Services Agency coordinates programs to address homelessness in San Mateo County.

C. PARTNERSHIPS
Foster City works with many local partners to provide and support housing opportunities. Some of these include:
Bridge Housing: Owns and operates the 100% affordable Metro Senior Apartments; City staff serves on the Board of Directors for Metro Senior Apartments. MidPen Housing: Owns and operates the 100% affordable Alma Point Senior Apartments. Property Managers of Mixed-Income Apartment Developments: This includes the property managers at several apartment developments: Marlin Cove, Miramar, Plaza, Triton, and 100 Grand.
CALL Primrose Center: Provides food assistance to low-income individuals, families, and seniors.
LifeMoves: Provides interim housing, supportive services, and building collaborative partnerships to end homelessness.
Rebuilding Together Peninsula: Home repairs for low-income homeowners. Samaritan House: Delivers essential services and support to help people living in poverty to achieve financial independence and remain active, successful part of our community.

Services include but are not limited to meals, financial assistance, jobs, shelter, free clinic. . Project Sentinel: a nonprofit organization that supports tenants in navigating fair housing disputes and provides fair housing training opportunities for jurisdictions and nonprofits.

7. Strategies and Actions
A. GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The Community Development Department’s strategies and actions to implement the Housing Element include focus on the following six guiding principles, listed in priority order:

1.Leverage Funding: actively explore new funding sources and leverage existing funding by pursuing matching funds to maximize the City’s ability to provide funding for housing programs.

2.Encourage Production: create financial and expedited application incentives for developers and homeowners to facilitate production of units; engage in strategic partnerships with nonprofit agencies and developers.

3.Facilitate Special needs: develop incentives and reduce barriers to access for seniors and those with special needs or disabilities. Engage in strategic partnerships with nonprofit agencies and developers.

4.Support Preservation: create incentive programs and improvements in communication of services available to assist owners in preserving and maintaining their housing units.

5.Protect Tenants: ensure that planned and existing market rate and below market rate rental units are well managed and in compliance with laws, including fair housing and anti- discrimination laws, regulatory agreements, policies, and BMR Guidelines.

6.Promote Sustainability: focus on sustainability, including energy efficiency and conservation, water conservation, walkability, access to public transit, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and supporting climate change initiatives.

B. SUMMARY OF STRATEGIES AND ACTIONS
Implementation of the Housing Element centers on the housing unit production goal of 1,896 units (777 market rate and 1,119 below market rate), the City of Foster City’s assessed production target. To reach the assessed target for below market rate units, the City of Foster City must either facilitate development of a substantially greater number of market rate units than the targeted and/or the City must facilitate development of 100% affordable projects. In addition to new production, implementation includes preservation of existing affordable units and providing fair housing and other program information and services.

Challenges to implementation include:
Economic conditions – current costs of construction/labor, high interest rates, unemployment rates, the sharp downturn in the tech industry, inflation, etc. Foster City’s location away from the Caltrain corridor – due to the lack of a major public transportation corridor running through Foster City, the City is not eligible for funding reserved through MTC/ABAG for priority development areas (PDAs) as outlined in Plan Bay

6.3 Exhibit A - Housing Element 2023-2031 Implementation Roadmap

Area, and other transit-oriented development (TOD) funding opportunities offered at the federal and state level.
Foster City’s land constraints – lack of available land for development. Foster City’s development impact fees and current inclusionary requirement of 20% of units contribute to the cost of building new housing units.
Limited local funds for housing – Foster City’s current affordable housing fund balance of $8M is very limited in the high-cost housing market of San Mateo County.

Key strategies and actions for implementing the Housing Element include:

A. OBTAIN AND LEVERAGE FUNDING

1. Leverage available City funding by using it as a match to obtain grants and loans for housing unit production and other programs.

The City’s recent creation of the Local Housing Trust Fund, facilitates the ability to leverage existing commercial linkage fee funds to apply for the State’s Local Housing Trust Fund NOFA. Programs utilizing the State LHTF must comply with State LHTF program requirements, including income targeting and prevailing wage requirements.

Apply for HCD’s 2024 LHTF NOFA, due in September 2024. If awarded to the City, funds must be distributed by the City in the form of loans. Proposed uses of the funds include:
a. Assistance to housing developers of very low- and low-income units (H-A-5-e) b. Low-income homeowner rehabilitation loan program (H-B-2-a) c. ADU financial incentive program (H-D-4-b)

2. Prioritize at least some funds to provide incentives for low-income ADUs as the option most likely to result in new units with limited City funds.

This is part of the proposal for HCD’s 2024 LHTF NOFA. Some of the funds would be used for low interest loans in exchange for a 10-year commitment that the ADU would be rented at affordable rates.

3. Prioritize some funds to offer financial subsidies for partnerships with housing developers.

This is part of the proposal for HCD’s 2024 LHTF NOFA. Some of the funds would be used for low interest loans to housing developers for creation of affordable housing units.

4. Create and implement a plan for rehabilitation of EUPP homes for supportive housing.

The County has awarded Foster City nearly $200,000 as a loan from the County of San Mateo from their 2024 NOFA. These funds would be used to rehabilitate two of the City’s EUPP homes to prepare them for future use for supportive housing. However, staff recently learned from the County that there will be an additional requirement for a more extensive environmental review for the project at an additional cost of 20% of the project

6.3 Exhibit A - Housing Element 2023-2031 Implementation Roadmap

99 HO U S I N G EL E M E N T 2 0 2 3 - 2 0 3 1 IM P L E M E N T A T I O N RO A D M A P 27 | P a g e
cost or more. Therefore, staff recommends delaying use of the funds, which will likely require a future application, to give staff time to explore the potential for future County NOFAs to fund rehabilitation of the additional four EUPP units to consolidate the environmental review to one project, and to prepare a long-term strategy for the EUPP units for City Council guidance and review.

5. Obtain funding for preservation of units for low-income households and those with special needs.

This is part of the proposal for HCD’s 2024 LHTF NOFA. Some of the funds would be used for low interest loans to lower-income owners to improve their homes.

Look for additional funding in the form of loans or matching grants to assist low-income households or partnerships with nonprofits that can assist low-income and special needs households.

6.Obtain funding for Housing Element programs such as programs requiring workshops, significant outreach, acquisition of software, and financial incentives (e.g. energy efficiency) for which funding might be available.

A tenant-landlord education workshop is scheduled for August 28, 2024 in partnership with Project Sentinel.

7. Monitor funding sources at the local, state, and federal level for potential sources of funding.

Staff are continually monitoring funding sources at the local, state, and federal level for potential opportunities.

Staff recommends exploring the ProHousing Incentive Program (PIP) for the next round of funding.

Specific funding opportunities include the proposed Bay Area Affordable Housing Bond Ballot Initiative for affordable housing, which would provide $2.1 B to the County of San Mateo. The initiative is on the November 2024 ballot.

B. PROVIDE INCENTIVES

1. Provide administrative incentives to developers and property owners, consisting of streamlined protocols and requirements and reduced fees for permitting.

Staff has implemented a number of administrative streamlining efforts already and continues to make improvements to forms, protocols, and the City’s website and to create expedited processing opportunities for specific programs.

2.Provide financial incentives to facilitate and encourage production of units such as subsidies for below market rate unit production, especially for extremely low- and very low-income units (including ADUs/JADUs), subsidies for 100% affordable

6.3 Exhibit A - Housing Element 2023-2031 Implementation Roadmap

100

HO U S I N G EL E M E N T 2 0 2 3 - 2 0 3 1 IM P L E M E N T A T I O N RO A D M A P 28 | P a g e
projects, and incentives to reduce the cost of compliance such as waiver of rental registry fees for projects that meet certain conditions. Staff held a roundtable with nonprofit and for-profit housing developers in June 2024 to learn more about constraints and to explore ways the City can facilitate housing production.

For funding incentives, staff will research grants and NOFAs and conduct an analysis on potential opportunities for subsidies or fee waivers based on existing fund balances and potential NOFA funding opportunities. Subsidies of ADUs/JADUs are likely to be the most cost-effective subsidies to produce new units if owners will accept the deed restriction requirement that is a term of HCD’s LHTF program.

For the September 2024 application to HCD for LHTF matching funds, proposed uses of the LHTF funds include:
a. Assistance to housing developers of very low- and low-income units b. Low-income homeowner rehabilitation loan program
c. ADU financial incentive program
C. FORM PARTNERSHIPS

1. Conduct extensive outreach to both for-profit and non-profit developers and owners to form partnerships and promote development of opportunity sites.

The City will need to be creative in partnering with developers to ensure that it meets both the above-moderate target of 777 units and the below market rate target of 1,119 units. Incentives to help improve the financial feasibility of projects, such as long-term subsidies, or the acquisition of land need to be considered.

2.Explore flexibility in implementation of the City requirements, such as assistance with impact fee payments or other requirements, that may assist in financing of housing development.

3.Look for opportunities to partner with affordable housing providers on 100% affordable housing developments. These types of developments are more likely to obtain competitive funding from county, state, and federal sources. Such developments bring the City closer to meeting its RHNA targets for affordable units.

D. MONITOR CONSTRAINTS TO IMPLEMENTATION

1. Continue roundtable discussions with housing developers to better understand potential ways that the City can help mitigate constraints to housing development.

Examples of key constraints include land costs, construction costs, prevailing wage requirements, and financing limitations. Staff held the first in a series of roundtable discussions with nonprofit and for-profit housing developers in June 2024 to learn more about constraints and to explore ways the City can facilitate housing production.

D. FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS
In addition to the programs noted above in Table 7 as needing funds, several programs are included in the Housing Element for later years that would also require funding. These programs could be considered if there’s a new infusion of funds from commercial linkage fees:
H-E-1-b: New Units for City-Owned Affordable Housing Program. If funds are available, purchase existing older single-family or duplex units or other units to provide affordable rental housing for larger families.
H-E-5-a: New Agreements for Affordability of Existing Rental Units. If a source of funding can be identified, work with owners of existing market rate rental units to include affordability agreements.

6.3 Exhibit A - Housing Element 2023-2031 Implementation Roadmap

105

HO U S I N G EL E M E N T 2 0 2 3 - 2 0 3 1 IM P L E M E N T A T I O N RO A D M A P 33 | P a g e
H-F-1-e: Home Sharing for Special Needs Population. Support the HIP Housing Home Sharing Program as part of a collection of policies programs and practices for addressing special housing needs, including seniors, those living with disabilities, those at risk of homelessness and female householders.

Note: a funding amount is included in the funding recommendations for a program to be developed to offer a financial incentive to encourage home sharing for people with special needs.
H-F-2-a: Emergency Housing Assistance. To the extent funds are available, participate and allocate funds, as appropriate, for County and non-profit programs providing emergency shelter and related counseling services. (Note: this has been included in the City’s annual budget.)
H-F-2-b: Emergency Shelter Uses. To the extent funds are available, the City will contribute to non-profit agencies involved in providing housing for the homeless in San Mateo County. (Note: this has been included in the City’s annual budget.) The units in the EUPP will require renovation in future years prior to transition to supportive housing (and also would require renovation even if retained as affordable rentals). Staff will develop a draft renovation schedule and transition plan for a City Council Study Session and Council direction at a future date:
H-E-1-a: Existing Unit Purchase Program-Opportunities for Supportive Housing. Implement the tenant preferences adopted in January 2023 for the Existing Unit Purchase Program (City- owned units) so that when vacancies occur, housing providers have an opportunity to propose renting the unit to provide supportive housing for people with disabilities and if no acceptable proposals are received, then continue to maintain the existing units owned by the City as rentals for large very low- and low-income families.

Based on the analysis of funds available and the outlined strategy, Table 8, Proposed Funding Summary by Program, includes a funding strategy to utilize existing affordable housing funds together with matching funds to the extent feasible. This proposal includes using 5.49 million in City funds of the available $8.0 million, including $4,675,000 of the $5,405,386 in Fund 137 Commercial Linkage Fee, which has a five-year time limit from the date of each receipt. The funding and implementation of associated programs would be spread out over the six years remaining in the 2023-2031 Planning Period.

The funding strategy outlined in Table 8 may change as additional financial resources are secured or other conditions change, including not being successful in obtaining an award of HCD LHTF monies. Staff will also collaborate with the City Attorney’s office on a more detailed review to ensure that the proposed uses of the funds are consistent with any restrictions for the specific funding sources. Staff is not proposing any spending from Fund 124 at this time in order to maximize the funds spent from Fund 137 Commercial Linkage Fee that have a time limit. The use of Fund 124 may be revisited for future programs.

DEPARTMENT: Community Development
SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO THE SAN MATEO COUNTY GRAND JURY
REPORT: "RESTAURANT EXTERIORS: THE NEGLECTED
SPACE"

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council: (1) review the draft response to the San Mateo County Grand Jury Report titled “Restaurant Exteriors: The Neglected Space,” which has been prepared by staff, and by Minute Order, provide direction as needed to finalize the response and authorize the City Manager to execute the response for submission prior to the deadline of October 7, 2024; and (2) find the approval of the response exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On June 9, 2024, staff received a Grand Jury Report (Attachment 2) from the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury titled “Restaurant Exteriors: The Neglected Space." This report provides seven (7) findings and four (4) recommendations regarding the upkeep and management of restaurant exteriors within the County, highlighting the importance of maintaining clean and aesthetically pleasing public and commercial spaces.

The Civil Grand Jury requests responses from the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors to all findings and recommendations and from the Councils for all 20 cities and towns in the County to respond to Findings 1 through 7 and Recommendation 4. The report further includes that the governing bodies should be aware that the comment or

6.4 6.4 Staff Report

3 response of each governing body must be conducted subject to the notice, agenda, and open meeting requirements of the Brown Act. The response must be submitted no later than October 7, 2024.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The California Legislature has emphasized the importance of maintaining clean and attractive public and commercial spaces to enhance community well-being and economic vitality. The Grand Jury conducted an investigation into the condition of restaurant exteriors in San Mateo County, identifying several areas in need of improvement.

The 2023-2024 San Mateo County Grand Jury issued its report on July 9, 2024. The Grand Jury report found that many restaurants exterior waste storage areas were unsanitary, unsightly, and odorous, often attracting pests, with conditions worsening near garbage collection days. Regulatory enforcement across San Mateo County was inconsistent, typically occurring only in response to complaints, resulting in a reactive approach. Inspections focused primarily on restaurant interiors, leaving exteriors and parklets largely unmonitored. Economic pressures led restaurant operators to resist increasing waste pick-ups or adding containers, exacerbating the problem.

The Grand Jury Letter dated July 9, 2024 (Attachment 3), requires the City of Foster City to respond to all of the findings (1 through 7) indicating one of the following:

1. The respondent agrees with the finding.

2. The respondent disagrees wholly or partially with the finding, in which case the response shall specify the portion of the finding that is disputed and shall include an explanation of the reasons therefore.

Summarized below are the Civil Grand Jury Report findings on how municipalities can more effectively manage and enhance the exteriors of restaurants and staff’s proposed responses.

Civil Grand Jury Report Finding and Responses:

F1: Sanitary conditions of the exterior of restaurant facilities fall outside current inspections of the County Health Department. The varying unsatisfactory conditions in the waste removal areas of the facilities shows something is lacking in the regulatory process.

Response: The City of Foster City agrees with Finding 1.

F2: Sanitary conditions of parklets fall outside of current inspections by the County Health Department or Vector Control.

Response: The City of Foster City agrees with Finding 2, noting that there are currently no parklets in Foster City.

6.4 6.4 Staff Report

141

7 0
3 F3: Sanitary conditions of exterior areas used for waste storage and disposal fall outside current inspections by local jurisdictions; local jurisdictions are, by and large, only reactive to an actual complaint.

Response: The City of Foster City partially disagrees with Finding 3, because the City of Foster City takes a proactive inspection approach to ensure exterior areas used for waste storage and disposal are consistently maintained in a sanitary condition.

F4: Most restaurant exterior areas are “out of sight” of the public and as a result complaints are less frequent.

The City of Foster City partially disagrees with Finding 4. There are restaurants that include exterior areas used for waste storage and disposal which are not out of sight and there are other, “out of sight,” exterior areas that are immediately adjacent to fences that abut neighboring properties, which are closely monitored and regularly reported by those neighboring property owners. Further, the City of Foster City takes a proactive inspection approach to ensure exterior areas used for waste storage and disposal are maintained in a sanitary condition consistently.

F5. Because they lack oversight, unacceptable conditions in restaurant trash areas are likely not to be rectified.

Response: The City of Foster City partially disagrees with Finding 5. When Foster City, staff receives complaints regarding garbage overflow or spill, staff works with the restaurant owners and/or property managers to rectify the issue. Foster City Municipal Code Chapter 8.07 Storage and Disposal of Solid Wastes and Recyclable Materials, and Chapter 9.52 Property Maintenance, provide the City staff with proper oversight and authority to address these issues.

F6. Waste water from the cleaning of trash areas and from rain flow into the storm drain systems.

Response: The City of Foster City partially disagrees with Finding 6. Foster City enforces C.3 stormwater requirements through the permitting process to prevent such occurrences. These requirements include:
•Provide a roofed and enclosed area for dumpsters, recycling containers, etc., designed to prevent stormwater run-on and runoff. •Connect any drains in or beneath dumpsters, compactors, and tallow bin areas serving food service facilities to the sanitary sewer.

F7. Effective inspection of parklet sanitation can be severely hampered by closed skirting and lack of under floor access. Spacing between planking and lack of solid flooring can lead to accumulation of organic debris and possible infestation by vermin.

3 Response: The City of Foster City agrees with Finding 7, noting that there are currently no parklets in Foster City.

Additionally, the City is required to respond to Recommendation 4 and report one of the following actions:

1. The recommendation has been implemented, with a summary regarding the implemented actions.

2. The recommendation has not yet been implemented but will be implemented in the future, with a time frame for implementation.

3. The recommendation requires further analysis, with an explanation and the scope and parameters of an analysis or study, and a time frame (not exceeding 6 months from the date of publication of the grand jury report).

4. The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted or reasonable, with an explanation, therefore.

Summarized below are the Civil Grand Jury Report recommendations on how municipalities can more effectively manage and enhance the exteriors of restaurants and staff’s proposed response. As noted above, the Grand Jury has directed that Foster City needs to respond only to Recommendation 4.

Civil Grand Jury Report Recommendations:

R1. By June 30, 2025, the County should amend its Food Facility Checklist to include the condition of trash area flooring, bins, dumpsters and enclosures, and note any needed repair, replacement or cleaning.

R2. By June 30, 2025, the County should amend its Food Facility Checklist to include the entire exterior waste storage area, retention areas and parklets, including flooring and underfloor areas.

R3. By June 30, 2025, the County should require operators/owners of restaurants to have a written diagram of their approved waste storage/retention area posted so the inspector can evaluate the condition of the facilities.

R4. By June 30, 2025, inspectors for all jurisdictions with restaurants should be empowered to require owners/operators to add receptacles or increase the frequency of pick-ups.

Response: The recommendation has been implemented since 2021 in the Foster City Municipal Code Section 8.07.100 Requirements for commercial businesses states:

City shall have the right to review the number and size of a generator’s containers and frequency of collection to evaluate adequacy of capacity provided for each type of collection service for proper separation of materials and containment of materials, and commercial businesses shall adjust their service level for their collection services as requested by the city.

Dear Judge Lee,
Subject: Response to Grand Jury Report: "Restaurant Exteriors: The Neglected Space" The City of Foster City has reviewed the Grand Jury Report released on July 9, 2024, regarding the condition of restaurant exteriors. We appreciate the findings and recommendations outlined in the report.

Finding:

F1: Sanitary conditions of the exterior of restaurant facilities fall outside current inspections of the County Health Department. The varying unsatisfactory conditions in the waste removal areas of the facilities shows something is lacking in the regulatory process.

Response: The City of Foster City agrees with the findings.

F2: Sanitary conditions of parklets fall outside of current inspections by the County Health Department or Vector Control.

Response: The City of Foster City agrees with the findings. However, we would like to note that there are currently no parklets in Foster City.

6.4 Attachment 1 - Proposed Response to Grand Jury Report

145

F3: Sanitary conditions of exterior areas used for waste storage and disposal fall outside current inspections by local jurisdictions; local jurisdictions are, by and large, only reactive to an actual complaint.

Response: The City of Foster City partially disagrees with Finding 3, because the City of Foster City takes a proactive inspection approach to ensure exterior areas used for waste storage and disposal are maintained in a sanitary condition consistently.

F4: Most restaurant exterior areas are “out of sight” of the public and as a result complaints are less frequent.

The City of Foster City partially disagrees with the findings. There are a few restaurants that include exterior areas used for waste storage and disposal which are not primarily out of sight. As noted earlier, City of Foster City takes a proactive inspection approach to ensure exterior areas used for waste storage and disposal are maintained in a sanitary condition consistently. Occasionally, staff receives complaints regarding garbage overflow or spill, and is able to work with the restaurant owners and/or property managers to rectify the issue.

F5. Because they lack oversight, unacceptable conditions in restaurant trash areas are likely not to be rectified.

Response: The City of Foster City partially disagrees with Finding 5. While acknowledging that the report highlights a lack of oversight leading to unaddressed unacceptable conditions in restaurant trash areas in some jurisdictions, Foster City Municipal C ode Chapter 8.07 Storage and Disposal of Solid Wastes and Recyclable Materials, and Chapter

9.52 Property Maintenance, provide the City staff with oversight and the authority to rectify these issues.

F6. Waste water from the cleaning of trash areas and from rain flow into the storm drain systems.

Response: The City of Foster City partially disagrees with Finding 6. While acknowledging that the report indicates wastewater from cleaning trash areas and rainwater can flow into storm drain systems in some jurisdictions, the City enforces C.3 requirements through the permitting process to prevent such occurrences. These requirements include:
• Provide a roofed and enclosed area for dumpsters, recycling containers, etc., designed to prevent stormwater run-on and runoff.
• Connect any drains in or beneath dumpsters, compactors, and tallow bin areas serving food service facilities to the sanitary sewer.

F7. Effective inspection of parklet sanitation can be severely hampered by closed skirting and lack of under floor access. Spacing between planking and lack of solid flooring can lead to accumulation of organic debris and possible infestation by vermin.

Response: The City of Foster City agrees with the findings. However, we would like to note that there are currently no parklets in Foster City.

6.4 Attachment 1 - Proposed Response to Grand Jury Report

Recommendation:

Recommendation 4 has been implemented with the provision in the Foster City Municipal Code.

Section 8.07.100 Requirements for commercial businesses, the code states:

City shall have the right to review the number and size of a generator’s containers and frequency of collection to evaluate adequacy of capacity provided for each type of collection service for proper separation of materials and containment of materials; and commercial businesses shall adjust their service level for their collection services as requested by the city.

This response was approved by the Foster City City Council during a public meeting held on September 3, 2024.

Please let us know if there are any further details required or if additional clarification is needed.

RESTAURANT EXTERIORS: THE NEGLECTED SPACE

ISSUE

The exterior trash areas of food service businesses are often unsightly and unsanitary. How can this issue be addressed?

SUMMARY

Restaurant garbage and food waste is not always contained in designated exterior bins, and may overflow, attracting animals and other undesirable pests. While restaurant interiors are subject to County of San Mateo Health System standards and inspections, restaurant building exteriors are subject to a variety of standards and inspection programs, because each local jurisdiction has its own regulations for sanitation and safety for exteriors. For restaurant exteriors, responsibility for enforcement of local code and for inspection schedules varies from city to city. Generally, inspections are done when complaints are received. The extent of the issues may vary based on the municipality or district, day of the week (garbage collection day), or whether the building backs are visible to the public.

Grand Jury members conducted interviews with County officials, city officials, and waste handlers and performed their own spot checks (admittedly not scientific). A written survey (Appendix B) was sent to all twenty cities and towns in the County.

The Grand Jury found a significant number of restaurant exterior waste storage areas and areas below parklets had clearly deficient, unsanitary, unsightly and odorous conditions. The investigation found that the “standards” for these areas, i.e., how these conditions were monitored, and how codes and policies were enforced, to be inconsistent at best and non-existent in some instances. A quantification of the waste storage area problem proved difficult as many sites and their condition were dependent on the day of the week and their garbage pick-up days.

This Grand Jury report includes recommendations for a more proactive approach to handling the garbage and parklet sanitation problems around restaurant exteriors in San Mateo County, and suggestions for preventive maintenance.

2 2023-2024 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury

BACKGROUND

People spent 20.7% more money at restaurants than on groceries in 2022. That figure rose to

29.5% in the first two months of 2023 according to Commerce Department data.1 This significant increase in use of restaurants and “micro” and “mobile” food services, not surprisingly, resulted in an increase in organic (food stuff) waste, paper, glass and general garbage.

Members of the Civil Grand Jury initiated this review of the health and safety conditions surrounding the immediate areas designated for waste removal after observing an increase in rodents around parklets. Initial walkthroughs behind restaurants determined that the problem related to waste management in general as well as to the parklets. Photos contained in Appendix A depict some of the disturbing findings.

The Grand Jury found a significant number of restaurant exterior waste storage areas and areas below parklets had clearly deficient, unsanitary, unsightly and odorous conditions. The investigation found that the “standards” for these areas, i.e., how these conditions were monitored, and how codes and policies were enforced, to be inconsistent at best and non-existent in some instances. A quantification of the waste storage area problem proved difficult as many sites and their condition were dependent on the day of the week and their garbage pick-up days.

This Grand Jury report includes recommendations for a more proactive approach to handling the garbage and parklet sanitation problems around restaurant exteriors in San Mateo County, and suggestions for preventive maintenance.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

California Health & Safety Code, Chapter 7 known as the “Retail Food Code” regulates, at the State level, the protections required for public health and safety of a “Food Facility”.2 The Code

1 https://www.census.gov/retail/marts/www/marts_current.pdf 2 H&S Code 113789 (a) “Food facility” means an operation that stores, prepares, packages, serves, vends, or otherwise provides food for human consumption at the retail level, including, but not limited to, the following:
(1) An operation where food is consumed on or off the premises, regardless of whether there is a charge for the food.
(2) A place used in conjunction with the operations described in this subdivision, including, but not limited to, storage facilities for food-related utensils, equipment, and materials. (b) “Food facility” includes permanent and nonpermanent food facilities, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) Public and private school cafeterias. (2) Restricted food service facilities.
(3) Licensed health care facilities, except as provided in paragraph (12) of subdivision (c). (4) Commissaries.
(5) Mobile food facilities.
(6) Mobile support units.
(7) Temporary food facilities.
(8) Vending machines.
(9) Certified farmers’ markets, for purposes of permitting and enforcement pursuant to Section 114370.

has extensive requirements for the handling of food, preparation and service of patrons. They can best be described as affecting the “inside” of the Food Facility.

The exterior or waste disposal areas are only mentioned in Article 4, Section 114245.4. “If provided, an outdoor storage area or enclosure used for refuse, recyclables, and returnables shall be constructed of nonabsorbent material such as concrete or asphalt and shall be easily cleanable, durable and sloped to drain.”3 Refer to Appendix C for the California Health & Safety Code Article 4.

The enforcement of these State Regulations is assigned to “Enforcement Officers”4 of an “Enforcement Agency”5 which is delegated to more local organizations at the county or other local level. Section 1143906 gives the power to inspect facilities, take samples and prepare a written report of deficiencies.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT INSPECTIONS

The San Mateo County Health Department is primarily responsible for the inspection of restaurants and enforcement of the Health Codes related to them. The Inspection checklist (Appendix D) has 60 categories for inspection and only one (FO42) relates to waste disposal or garbage. In interviews, the Grand Jury found the Health Inspector does not generally inspect the areas behind the facility and does not inspect areas not immediately adjacent to the facility at all.

The County relies on the individual cities for enforcement of their nuisance laws in these areas.

As part of its Municipal Code, each City or jurisdiction maintains provisions for enforcement actions against properties (and operators) that maintain unhealthy, noxious, or dangerous conditions under their police powers to abate public nuisances. (See Bibliography)

LAND USE / USE PERMITS

It is beyond the scope of this investigation to analyze the municipal codes of each of the twenty jurisdictions in San Mateo County which have restaurant uses. Most cities require “use permits”

(10) Farm stands, for purposes of permitting and enforcement pursuant to Section 114375. (11) Fishermen’s markets.

3 Sections 114244 to 114245.3 inclusive speak only to the Food Facility which is defined as the interior of the facility.
4 113774. “Enforcement officer” means the director, agents, or environmental health specialists appointed by the Director of Health Services, and all local health officers, directors of environmental health, and their duly authorized registered environmental health specialists and environmental health specialist trainees.
5 113773. “Enforcement agency” means the department or the local health agency having jurisdiction over the food facility.

(conditional or otherwise) for restaurants in certain locations. As part of the building permit process, cities have the ability to require and specify the type, location, and frequency of waste disposal. More importantly, all have a general requirement that these areas be maintained at the owner/operator expense in a good and sanitary manner.

WASTE HAULERS / SANITATION COMPANIES

By far the biggest recipient of waste and disposal in the County is Recology San Mateo County serving the cities of Belmont, Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Foster City, Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Carlos, and San Mateo, the town of Hillsborough, County of San Mateo, North Fair Oaks, and West Bay Sanitary District. Recology of the Coast provides service to Pacifica.

GreenWaste provides service to the town of Atherton.

South San Francisco Scavenger Company (SSFSC) serves businesses and residents in South San Francisco, Millbrae, Brisbane and San Francisco International Airport. Half Moon Bay, Daly City and the unincorporated North County has an agreement with Republic Services, Inc. to provide recycling, compost and garbage collection services.

Each hauler negotiates independently on rates and pick-up policy. The Grand Jury reviewed the Franchise Agreement used by Recology. The agreement provides that the hauler shall replace or repair bins, dumpsters and other containers as needed or upon request.

DISCUSSION

SURVEY

The Grand Jury sent a survey to twenty jurisdictions (see Appendix B). Five jurisdictions relied solely on the County Health Department for enforcement of regulations related to restaurant waste facilities; two inspected and enforced only at the permit renewal stage; and nine assigned the duty to their code enforcement mechanism generally through Planning, Public Works or dedicated Code Enforcement personnel. Only three of the jurisdictions conducted inspections independent of a complaint. The majority, nine of fourteen, only inspected upon receipt of a complaint. (See Appendix B for the tabulated Survey results).

In summary, survey responses demonstrate that the Cities rely on the County Health Department for inspections of restaurant interiors and, in general, only respond to exterior conditions upon receipt of a complaint.

OBSERVATIONS

The condition at any one site is dependent on the frequency of trash removal. The site may be fine right after removal but, as the week goes on, the situation worsens. There does not appear to be any site-specific requirements (or at least any that are enforced) for residual cleaning such as power washing. Few sites inspected had any method of controlling wash down or steam cleaning waste from flowing into the storm sewers. The type of restaurant also impacts its output, e.g., some generate grease, oil and animal fat, which require special containers.

6.4 Attachment 2 - Grand Jury Report - Restaurant Exteriors: The Neglected Space

151

5 2023-2024 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury

The current requirements for trash enclosures by local jurisdictions are applied only to new applications, resulting in many outdated, legacies facilities and, without regular inspection, there is no monitoring of maintenance or repair. These areas are high impact areas and the enclosures and bins, dumpsters and cans are subject to heavy use. The Grand Jury found many bins, dumpsters and cans to be in damaged and filthy condition.

Economic forces impact maintenance and overflow conditions. An operator of a restaurant pays for disposal service by volume (size and number of containers) and frequency (number of pick- ups in one week). Increases in business generate higher volumes so what was working in the past may not be sufficient for the current or future situation. It is logical that operators of food facilities would see added frequency of pickups or added containers as a negative and an expense. This is a financial impact question.

IMPACTS ON THE COMMUNITY

Normal sanitation issues apply; smell, unsightliness and vermin7. Vector Control does not inspect trash or similar areas unless specifically requested. The Grand Jury interviews revealed instances of the presence of rats, mice and raccoons in trash areas and parklets. Insect infestation is also of concern. All this presents a health hazard to the public, the workers at these restaurants, and the trash collectors.

ENFORCEMENT OF EXISTING REQUIREMENTS

The County Health Department inspections do not include the areas outside of the building. The enforcement of the nuisance provisions by local jurisdictions is reactive and only called into play upon a complaint. Oversight of the condition of receptacles (dumpsters, bins, cans) is minimal, at best, and often non-existent.

SPECIAL CASES

Mobile Food Facilities (Food Trucks): The Permit Checklist for food trucks does not mention waste disposal. Food Truck regulation is an evolving body of regulation and should be reviewed at a later date.
https://www.smchealth.org/sites/main/files/file-attachments/20170915_mff_selfinspectionche cklist.pdf?1536778880

Farmer’s Markets: Several markets were visited by Jurors. Only the Farmer’s Market in San Carlos was the subject of an interview. This particular market occurs on a Sunday. It is organized

7 H&S Code 113939. “Vermin” means cockroaches, mice, rats, and similar pests that carry disease.

H&S Code 13939.1. “Vermin infestation” means the presence of vermin within the food facility as evidenced by actual live bodies, fresh droppings or vomitus, urine stains, or gnaw marks, that could result in contamination to the food, equipment, packaging, or utensils.

by a private company (a community-based organization, CBO) which recruits and manages the individual Farmers and Vendors. The company polices the area at the breakdown of the Market on Sunday afternoon. The city of San Carlos has a street sweeper go over the area on Monday morning. These actions appear to be sufficient as the area was observed to be clean and free from refuse.

Parklets: Like Food Trucks, parklet regulation is evolving and should be reviewed in more detail at a later date. There are currently no separate inspection line items for parklets in the County Health Department checklist. Parklets increased significantly as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, which have proven efficient and desirable in many areas. At the outset, their construction was not heavily regulated and there were no specific building code requirements for inspection and cleaning under floors. As these facilities have become permanent, building permit requirements have increased. Problem areas identified in our investigation are:

1. Open floor segments can permit food and other waste falling under the floor of the parklet to the street;

2. Many have open side(s) permitting vermin to go under the parklet to feed on scraps;

3. Street drainage (from road crown and gutter flow) can exacerbate the problems of waste under the floor, including leaves and other refuse.

METHODOLOGY

The Jurors made several site visits over a period of eight months and took photographs. The Grand Jury conducted interviews with some officials of some cities and with several San Mateo County officials including the Health Department and Vector Control. A survey was sent to each city/town in San Mateo County.

FINDINGS

F1: Sanitary conditions of the exterior of restaurant facilities fall outside current inspections of the County Health Department. The varying unsatisfactory conditions in the waste removal areas of the facilities shows something is lacking in the regulatory process.

F2: Sanitary conditions of parklets fall outside of current inspections by the County Health Department or Vector Control.

F3: Sanitary conditions of exterior areas used for waste storage and disposal fall outside current inspections by local jurisdictions; local jurisdictions are, by and large, only reactive to an actual complaint.

F4: Most restaurant exterior areas are “out of sight” of the public and as a result complaints are less frequent.

F5. Because they lack oversight, unacceptable conditions in restaurant trash areas are likely not to be rectified.

F6. Waste water from the cleaning of trash areas and from rain flow into the storm drain systems.

F7. Effective inspection of parklet sanitation can be severely hampered by closed skirting and lack of under floor access. Spacing between planking and lack of solid flooring can lead to accumulation of organic debris and possible infestation by vermin.

RECOMMENDATIONS
R1. By June 30, 2025, the County should amend its Food Facility Checklist to include the condition of trash area flooring, bins, dumpsters and enclosures, and note any needed repair, replacement or cleaning.

R2. By June 30, 2025, the County should amend its Food Facility Checklist to include the entire exterior waste storage area, retention areas and parklets, including flooring and underfloor areas.

R3. By June 30, 2025, the County should require operators/owners of restaurants to have a written diagram of their approved waste storage/retention area posted so the inspector can evaluate the condition of the facilities.

R4. By June 30, 2025, inspectors for all jurisdictions with restaurants should be empowered to require owners/operators to add receptacles or increase the frequency of pick-ups.

Note: The Grand Jury is not able to recommend changes to building codes or planning criteria to cities or the County. However, in our review we did find the City of Palo Alto has a publication with clear and comprehensive regulations/recommendations for these areas. “Comprehensive Guidelines for Commercial Trash Enclosures:
https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/v/1/planning-amp-development-services/palo- alto-trash-enclosure-area-guidelines-march-2017.pdf”

RELATED ACTIONS

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Council adopt a resolution declaring the City’s intent to initiate procedures to consider transition from at-large elections to district-based elections pursuant to California Elections Code section 10010; approving the tentative timeline and other related actions.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On August 19, 2024, the City Council discussed a letter received from a potential plaintiffs’ attorney, Shenkman & Hughes PC, on July 22, 2024, alleging a violation of the California Voting Rights Act (the “CVRA”)1 and threatening litigation if the City declines to voluntarily change to a district-based election system for electing Councilmembers. (See Attachment 2). While the Council strongly disagreed with the allegations in the letter, a majority of the Council gave direction to staff to proceed with agendizing the resolution of intent in order to take advantage of the safe harbor 1 Cal. Elec. Code §§ 14025-14032.

9 provisions of Elections Code section 10010 and avoid costly litigation.

Staff has prepared the attached resolution of intent to transition to district-based elections, which will allow the City to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of Elections Code section 10010 to prevent any litigation from proceeding while the City is transitioning to district-based elections.

BACKGROUND
The City of Foster City currently elects its Councilmembers at-large, which means that each Councilmember is elected by the registered voters of the entire City. The CVRA was enacted in 2001, in part, to provide minority groups in California with tools to prevent dilution of votes in “at-large” election systems and is more expansive than the Federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 (“FVRA”). An at-large method of election may not be imposed or applied in a manner that impairs the ability of a protected class to elect candidates of its choice or its ability to influence the outcome of an election, as a result of the dilution or the abridgement of the rights of voters who are members of a protected class. 2 A violation of the CVRA is established if it is shown that racially polarized voting occurs in elections for members of the governing body or in elections incorporating other electoral choices by the voters of the political subdivision. 3 Any voter who is a member of a protected class and who resides in a political subdivision where a violation of the CVRA is alleged may file an action in the superior court in which the political subdivision is located.4
The CVRA defines “protected class” as a class of voters who are members of a race, color, or language minority group, as referenced and defined in the FVRA5 and “racially polarized voting” as voting in which there is a difference, as defined in case law under the FVRA, in the choice of candidates or other electoral choices preferred by voters in a protected class, as compared to the rest of the electorate (i.e., the protected class members vote as a politically cohesive unit, while the majority votes sufficiently as a bloc usually to defeat the protected class’s preferred candidate).6 The CVRA does not require a plaintiff to prove intent on the part of the voters or elected officials to discriminate against a protected class nor does the fact that members of a protected class are not geographically compact or concentrated preclude a finding of racially polarized voting. 7 Instead, a violation of the CVRA may be established by showing that both racially polarized voting and dilution occur in elections for members of the governing body.8

9 ANALYSIS
California Government Code section 34886, in certain circumstances, authorizes the legislative body of a city of any population to adopt an ordinance to change its method of election from an “at-large” system to a “district-based” system in which each councilmember is elected only by the voters in the district in which the candidate resides.

Pursuant to Elections Code section 10010, a city may rely on the “safe harbor” provisions that allows a city to adopt a resolution outlining its intention to transition from at-large to district-based elections within forty-five (45) days of receiving a demand letter from a potential plaintiffs’ attorney.9 These “safe harbor” provisions allow a city to transition in accordance with a statutory timeline and, if followed, insulate a city from litigation arising from alleged CVRA violations and caps attorneys’ fee liability to a maximum of $30,000.10
Under those “safe harbor” provisions, a prospective plaintiff is required to send a written notice to the clerk of a city asserting that the city’s method of conducting elections may violate the CVRA.11 A forty-five (45) day stay is then imposed on a prospective plaintiff’s ability to bring an action.12 That forty-five (45) day stay allows a city to adopt a resolution outlining its intention to transition from at-large to district-based elections.13 If a resolution of intention is adopted by a city council to move to district-based elections, a prospective plaintiff may not commence an action within ninety (90) days of the resolution of intention’s passage.14
Tentative Timeline for Transition
If the Council adopts the proposed resolution, the City will need to comply with the timelines set forth in Elections Code 10010, in order to transition to district-based elections and to take advantage of the statutory “safe harbor” provisions.

If the Council decides to proceed with transitioning to district-based elections, the City needs to hold at least two public hearings over a period of no more than 30 days, at which the public is invited to provide input regarding the composition of the districts.15 No official maps can be drawn before completion of these two public meetings. Once the initial two meetings are complete, the demographer and public can begin to officially draw maps that will be considered in the districting process. The City would then hold at least two additional hearings over a period of no more than 45 days, at which the public is invited to provide input regarding the content of the draft maps and the proposed sequence of 9 Cal. Elec. Code § 10010(e)(2).
10 Cal. Elec. Code § 10010(f)(1)-(3).
11 Cal. Elec. Code § 10010(e)(1).

9 elections.16 Once a map is selected, it would need to be published at least seven days before consideration at a hearing for introduction of an ordinance to adopt the district map.17
The City will also need to comply with the Fair and Inclusive Redistricting for Municipalities and Political Subdivisions (Fair Maps) Act, 18 which provides criteria that the City must utilize when establishing election district boundaries or when undertaking the redistricting process (which must occur every ten years after each population census). This criteria includes, among other things, compliance with the United States Constitution, the California Constitution, and the FVRA. 19 The Fair Maps Act also prohibits the adoption of district boundaries for the purpose of favoring or discriminating against an incumbent, political candidate or political party.20 Staff has prepared a tentative timeline, which identifies the preliminary schedule for the required public hearings and public outreach, which complies with Elections Code 10010 (see Exhibit A to Attachment 1). This timeline may change depending on the level of community involvement and the complexity of the map drawing process. If the timeline needs to adjust beyond the 90 days, then the City may enter into a written agreement to extend the 90-day period up to an additional 90 days in order to provide additional time to conduct public outreach, encourage public participation, and receive public input.21
Outreach Efforts
City staff has taken initial steps to begin outreach to advise its residents of this meeting including posting on social media channels such as the City’s Facebook, Twitter, and Nextdoor pages. Social media posts sharing information regarding the City Council’s consideration of adopting a resolution of intent to transition from at-large to district- based elections began days after the August 19 meeting, and continued over the following weeks in advance of the September 3 meeting. Additional outreach regarding the matter was conducted via the City newsletter on August 22, and a listserv notification was sent notifying community members the matter would be on the September 3 City Council agenda. Printed outreach material notifying residents of the meeting was placed in City Hall as well at kiosks posted along the Levee. It was also posted on the marquee and posting boards at the Council Chambers, Recreation Center, and Library. Staff will also be creating a page on the City’s website dedicated to this transition, whereby information will be available.

Demographer
Based on the direction provided by Council on August 19, 2024, City staff has met with 16 Cal. Elec. Code § 10010(a)(2).

9 three demographer firms, and the City Manager is in the process of finalizing an agreement to retain the services of a demographer pursuant to his purchasing authority set forth in section 3.04.140(B)(1) of the Foster City Municipal Code. The demographer will attend the up to five public hearings and provide the City Council with analysis and recommendations of the maps that will be prepared during the transition process.

California Environmental Quality Act
This item does not constitute a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code § 21000, et seq.) (CEQA) as the adoption of the resolution does not have the potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378).

FISCAL IMPACT
If the City Council decides to transition to district-based elections there will be a fiscal impact due to the costs associated with that transition including the demographer costs, which are estimated to be less than $50,000 and payment of the plaintiffs’ attorney costs of $30,000. Alternatively, if the City Council decides not to transition to district-based elections, the City could incur significant costs relating to litigation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Beginning in 2019, the Recreation Center Rebuild Project (Project) has been a priority project for the City with an anticipated budget of $55 million dollars. Group 4 Architecture, Research + Planning, Inc. (Group 4) was hired to design the building, and Griffin Structures was hired as the construction manager for the Project. The designs were brought to City Council on multiple occasions for direction and comments.

At the regular City Council meeting on February 20, 2024, the City Council authorized the issuance of a Request for Qualifications for a general contractor for the construction of the Project. This helped to streamline the bidding process by establishing a shortlist of general contractors who could bid on the Project. Five (5) contractors submitted their qualifications and four (4) were approved to be on the pre- qualification list. Three bids were received by the bid deadline on August 8, 2024. BHM Construction (BHM) was identified as the lowest bidder with a base lump sum bid of $40.65 million, meeting all requirements. Along with the base bid, bid alternate prices were provided by BHM for additional enhancements to the site, such as an expanded canopy entrance and solar panels. Staff is recommending five (5) alternates be awarded with the base bid to BHM but this is contingent upon City Council direction and approval.

Based on previous actions and the estimated cost of the Project, a budget of $64,992,328 was approved prior to the bid opening. Due to the favorable bids, the

7.2 7.2 Staff Report

191

6 9
2 construction cost is below the engineer’s estimate and the overall project can be done within the existing budget. The lower bids allow for the City Council to award all the bid alternates, if desired, within budget.

The project currently has general inspection being performed by Griffin Structures, Inc., however, the construction will require material/special inspections. The City has a master agreement with Apex Testing Laboratories, Inc. (Apex). Staff recommends issuing a task order to Apex in the amount of $341,520 for material testing and inspection services to ensure proper materials are used and meet specifications.

The Recreation Center Rebuild Project is progressing on schedule and within budget, and is set to deliver a modern, sustainable facility that will enhance both recreation programming and revenue generation for the City. The Construction is anticipated to start in October 2024 if awarded and be completed in 20 months.

BACKGROUND
At the Special City Council Meeting on January 31, 2022, the City Council adopted Minute Order No. 1832, and directed staff to proceed with the “build-to-budget” option for the Recreation Center in an amount not-to-exceed $55 million; and proceed with utilizing $36 million from the Capital Asset Acquisition and Replacement Fund (CAARF) and $19 million from the General Fund Reserves.

At the City Council regular meeting on November 21, 2022, the City Council awarded an agreement with Group 4 Architecture, Research + Planning, Inc. (“Group 4”) for professional design, bidding, and construction support services. The design phase began in January 2023 with the award of a construction management contract going to Griffin Structures on March 20, 2023.

At the regular City Council meeting on September 18, 2023, staff and Group 4 presented to City Council a full schematic design presentation which included an estimate of probable construction costs and a list of bid alternatives with cost information for City Council’s consideration. The City Council approved the schematic design and Project budget estimate, as well as provided direction on additional enhancements to be included in the Project.

At the regular City Council meeting on December 18, 2023, staff and Group 4 presented to City Council a full design development presentation which incorporated and reflected the design refinements directed by Council at the meeting on September 18, 2023. The Design Development Project Update was received and accepted unanimously by Minute Order No. 1953 which allowed staff to begin the construction document phase of the design.

At the regular City Council meeting on January 16, 2024, the City Council received a Project budget update from staff along with various proposals to address the Project budget shortfall between the approved budget of $55,374,250 and the design team’s

7.2 7.2 Staff Report

192

6 9
2 estimate of $65,943,000, a difference of $10,568,750. To address the shortfall, the City Council directed several actions including:
•Eliminating the Bocce Court Expansion from the Project scope and budget reducing the budget by $1,009,000 while still maintaining the design as a bid alternate if the bids come in lower than anticipated;
•Authorizing the release of $5,000,000 from the remaining Levee project funds and appropriate it to the Project;
•Appropriating grant funds from Gilead Foundation in the amount of $500,000 toward the Project;
•Appropriating anticipated park impact fees from the new Gilead building at 331 Lakeside Drive in the amount of $594,000 to the Project: and •Eliminating or delaying some park CIP projects through reprioritization.

Following the budget update on January 16, 2024, the project moved into the construction documents phase which would last approximately 8 months during which staff and the design team collaborated with other city departments and consultants to finalize room layouts, select fixtures, and address audio-visual, telecommunication, and security needs. An Interiors Committee provided recommendations for the building's color palette, wayfinding signage, lighting, and floor and ceiling materials and finishes. For the exterior site plan, the project team worked with landscape designers and engineers to finalize the rose garden and events plaza, as well as the selection of plantings and monumental signage.

At the regular City Council meeting on February 20, 2024, the City Council authorized the issuance of a Request for Qualifications for a general contractor for the construction of the Project. Five contractors submitted their qualification packages and staff approved four of the five contractors for future bidding following a scoring process.

At the regular City Council meeting on April 1, 2024, the City Council approved an additional appropriation to the Project budget in the amount of $58,323 with West Coast Code Consultants (WC3) for plan check services for the Project. This increased the Project budget to $55,432,578.

On June 3, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-60 approving the plans and specifications for CIP 301-678 and authorizing the call for bids. It was noted before the call for bids that the engineer’s estimate was over the existing budget, and it was likely going to require additional funding. Bid alternates were also being bid which could increase the cost if selected.

During the bidding phase, five (5) addendums were issued to address comments from general contractors and the City’s building department. These addendums addressed the various requests for information (RFIs) and provided the necessary detail for general contractors to provide the most accurate estimate and informed bidding which helps to avoid speculation which may lead to higher bids.

7.2 7.2 Staff Report

193

6 9
2 On August 15, 2024, Group 4 submitted a conformed plan set which matches the five (5) addendums for receiving the building permit. On August 28, 2024, the construction plan set for the proposed Recreation Center (excluding deferred items and separate permits) was approved by the required City Departments, including Building, Planning, Engineering, San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department, and Parks and Recreation.

Upon City Council’s approval of the bid, the Building Division will issue the permit to the selected contractor.

ANALYSIS
On August 8, 2024, three (3) bids were received from the four pre-approved general contractors. The bids include both the base bid lump sum and optional bid alternates.

All bids received for construction were below the engineer’s estimate of $48.3 million which reflects the current bid market. Construction market conditions in the Bay Area have shifted in the recent months making it a favorable environment for bidding of civic projects due to the declining factors in the private sector which have stopped or delayed the funding and construction of many projects.

In addition, the labor and material availability for projects has also increased and provided a favorable interest and competition of multiple subcontractors bidding on the available civic projects which result in higher competitive pricing amongst sub- contractors. The bids are as follows:

The following is a breakdown of the bid alternates:
•A1. Expanded Entry Canopy – This alternative will provide an enhanced entry canopy, which will help provide shelter closer to the parking lot and add interest to the building with a prominent “sail shaped” entrance. The current Recreation Center utilizes an expanded entry canopy to provide shelter for those who may not be as mobile due to age or special needs.
•A3. Fitness Room Operable Partition – This alternative will provide a partition to the fitness room, which would allow for multiple classes to occur at the same time and provide enhanced revenue potential.
•L1. Columbia Cascade Playground with Equipment and Rubberized Safety Surface – This alternative will provide a playground area and play structure to the project.
•L1a. Playcraft Playground with Equipment and Rubberized Safety Surface - This alternative is similar to L1 but will provide a playground area and enhanced play structure to the project. Both options provide for a highly sought after amenity by park users which does not currently exist in one of the City’s largest and most used parks. The enhanced design provides for greater play and interest for youth of all ages and a complementary amenity for the youth programs operating out of the Recreation Center.
•L2. Event Terrace Glass Wind Screen – This alternative will provide additional wind protection to the event terrace. The installation of this 5’ high glass wind screen along the south and west side of the events terrace will increase the usability of the outdoor space.
•L3. Bocce Courts – This alternative will both renovate the existing bocce courts, while expanding the area with two additional bocce courts. Additional landscaping is also included in the adjacent areas.
•E1. Photovoltaic Panel System (without energy storage) – This alternative will provide solar power to the building. The City is expected to receive a non- competitive grant from Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) in the amount of $551,232 which can be used to offset the cost of the PV system and/or used for other sustainability features. The addition of a PV system will also enable the City to receive more points toward LEED certification possibly resulting in an increase from Silver to Gold certification. More importantly, the building will be a net-zero carbon facility, a remarkable achievement and huge step in promoting the City’s Climate Action Plan goals.
•E2. Photovoltaic Panel System (with energy storage) – This alternative will provide solar power to the building with the addition of energy storage. The

7.2 7.2 Staff Report

195

2 energy storage will allow the Recreation Center to utilize the solar power when there is less sun and avoid using the grid during peak pricing periods.

The lowest bidder BHM Construction, LLC has met all the bid requirements, and their contractor license is current and active according to the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). BHM Construction has been in business since 2007 with over 253 completed projects in the Bay Area with a combined total of $1.7 Billion dollars. Their projects are comprised of civic centers, community centers, libraries, athletic facilities, K-12 schools and multi-family housing projects.

The City’s construction manager Griffin Structures has managed two projects where BHM was the general contractor: the City of Half Moon Bay Library, and the City of Burlingame Community Center which was also designed by Group 4.

Based on the bids that were submitted, staff is recommending the approval of the base bid plus the following bid alternates (totaling $2,936,000):
•A1. Expanded Entry Canopy - $773,000
•A3. Fitness Room Operable Partition - $176,000
•L1a. Playcraft Playground and Rubberized Safety Surface – $513,000 •L2. Event Terrace Glass Wind Screen - $256,000
•E1. Photovoltaic Panel System (PV) without energy storage - $1,218,000 Ultimately, the City Council has the option to select none, all or any combinations of bid alternates they desire. Based on the direction from City Council, the resolution will be modified to include the desired alternates from City Council which will alter the total construction contract cost and contingency amount. For reference, Attachment 5 shows the pricing of different alternate combinations ranging from the least expensive to the most expensive.

The scope of work includes demolishing the existing Recreation Center and rebuilding a new Recreation Center in its place at Leo J. Ryan Park. The new facility will serve as the community’s hub optimized for environmental sustainability and energy savings, expanded recreation programming and rentals, and enhanced user experience at community events and festivals which are dear to the residents and community partners of Foster City. The approved plans and specifications are available for viewing at City Hall upon request.

The new Recreation Center will result in enhanced revenues for the City which will help reduce the impact to the City’s General Fund over the long term. In addition, major site, utility, structural, and landscape improvements are planned for the property which will complement the iconic facility and provide for further gathering opportunities and community vibrancy. City staff and the City’s Construction Manager Griffin Structures will oversee the construction of the Recreation Center.

2 While the project currently has general inspection being performed by Griffin Structures, the construction will require material/special inspections. The City has a master agreement with Apex Testing Laboratories, Inc. (Apex) and is recommending issuing a task order to Apex for $341,520 and including a $30,000 contingency. This task order will allow Apex to provide any material testing to ensure proper materials are used and meeting specifications for construction.

The anticipated project schedule is as follows:

September 2024
•Construct Temporary Modular Buildings
•Relocate Cathodic Protection
•Process Construction Agreement
•Work with PG&E to disconnect existing Recreation Center from power •PG&E to construct temporary power
October 2024
•Start construction (anticipated to be 20 months)
CEQA
In July 2023, the City of Foster City, in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the State CEQA Guidelines adopted by the Secretary of Resources, and the City of Foster City Environmental Review Guidelines, prepared an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH # 20231009) with Standards Conditions and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (SCAMMRP), and CEQA Findings (IS/MND) for the Recreation Center Rebuild Project.

On November 16, 2023, the City Planning Commission adopted the IS/MND and approved the Use Permit for the Project. Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines section 15164(b), the City prepared an Addendum to the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration for the temporary Modular Buildings portion of the work.

FISCAL IMPACT
The following is an overview of current Project funding sources as reflected on June 17, 2024; the City Council adopted City Resolution No. 2024-66 approving the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 City Budget. This adoption added $9,092,750 to the Recreation Center Rebuild Project Budget.

The current approved budget will cover the base bid and all alternates if desired with a 10 percent construction contingency, a contingency percentage that has been reflected in the budget throughout all phases of the Project.

With the current approved Project budget of $64,992,328 and total anticipated Project cost of $56,408,000 which includes the construction base bid, design and construction management, the City has $8,584,328 available to utilize towards alternates and their contingencies.

Not reflected in the current funding above is a grant from PCE in the amount of $551,232, which can be used to offset the cost of the PV system and/or used for other sustainability features. In the meantime, staff will continue to seek other grants and sources of funding that can be used for the Project.

Staff is also proposing to conduct a fundraising campaign to help offset the cost of furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) for the new Recreation Center which has been done with other City facilities such as the Foster City Library and with similar projects in other cities. This could include a sponsor wall or the ability to sponsor specific rooms of the Recreation Center.

Project Approach
Abdel Khelifa will serve as the primary point
of contact for all critical matters related to
this contract. He is available at all times,
including after hours and during
emergencies, to ensure seamless
communication and rapid response.

Apex is committed to accommodating client
needs, even on short notice. We have
consistently fulfilled dispatch requests
within 2-4 hour windows, demonstrating our
flexibility and dedication to client service.

Based on our extensive experience, we recommend scheduling preliminary meetings with project staff, contractors, and subcontractors a few weeks before the commencement of fieldwork or laboratory activities. These meetings can be conducted virtually, via telephone, or in person, depending on the project’s needs and urgency. For projects that require on-call services, these preparatory discussions may be scheduled closer to the start date, or even on the day of dispatch to the project site.

These sessions, whether held in-person or online, will cover the review of contract requirements, identificatoin of key contacts, and approval of submittals. This process is designed to solidify the project timeline and budget expectations. Our proactive approach aims to address and resolve poten- tial issues before the commencement of work, thereby minimizing the incidence of non-compliance during the construction phase.

Multi-Discliplinary Staff
Our multi-disciplinary staff enables us to implement effec- tive cost control strategies and budgeting methodologies.

For instance, within the inspection scope, we can
significantly reduce costs by deploying inspectors who
hold certifications in multiple disciplines. A practical example of this is the ability to schedule a Certified
Welding Inspector (CWI) who is also qualified to conduct soil compaction inspections using nuclear gauge tech-
niques. This dual certification allows a single inspector to perform both types of inspections, which typically would require dispatching two separate inspectors to the site. This approach not only cuts down on labor costs but also reduces travel expenses and the environmental impact associated with deploying multiple personnel.

Document Control/Tracking and Accounting
Documen control and tracking will be coordinated with
the dispatcher and Apex’s dedicated document control
team that is responsible for compiling, organizing and
uploading reports. We have administrative staff who
are assigned separately for testing reports and special inspection reports. We will appoint administrative
personnel and accountants who have extensive
experience working with Public Works Departments
to take care of progress payments and monthly status
reports to identify resource capacity, near completion
dates, and budhet burndown rates.

Quality Control Program
Apex has a Quality Control Program to provide
quality service to all clients as requested. Due to
the page limit of this Proposal, our QCP is available
upon request.
