CITY COUNCIL
COUNCIL ACTION REQUEST
To: Honorable Mayor and Agenda Date: March 1, 2022
Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: 2021 Annual State Housing Element Progress Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Government Code Section 65400 requires that each governing body (City Council) prepare an annual report on the status and progress in implementing the jurisdiction’s Housing Element of the General Plan using forms and definitions adopted by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The passage of SB35 and AB879 in 2017, as well as AB1486 in 2019, amended the existing code and requires HCD to obtain more detailed information from cities regarding the status, and progress in implementing their annual housing goals. HCD has updated their reporting format to reflect these requirements. This report covers the 2021 calendar year that encompasses the end of the 5th Housing Element planning cycle (October 15, 2013- October 14, 2021) and the beginning of the 6th Housing Element planning cycle (October 15, 2021 – October 15, 2029).
This report also addresses the progress in meeting the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation as well as the progress to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of affordable housing for 2021.
Staff has completed the report on the prescribed State forms per HCD instructions. A copy of the report is attached to the Council Action Request (Attachment 1).
Staff recommends the City Council review the Housing Element Annual Progress Report and authorize the City Manager to forward it to the California Department of Housing and Community Development and the Governor’s Office prior to the April 1, 2022 deadline.
DISCUSSION:
The Housing Element Annual Progress Report is a reporting document that is required by Government Code Section 65400. It requires each governing body (City Council) to prepare an annual report on the status and progress in implementing the jurisdiction’s Housing Element of the General Plan using forms and definitions adopted by HCD. The report also addresses the progress to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of affordable housing. The annual report shows a city’s progress in meeting their goals as outlined in their Housing Element.
Council Action Request
March 1, 2022
2021 Housing Element Update
HCD has updated their reporting forms as required by the newly amended laws. The new laws require reporting agencies to submit additional information on the number of housing applications submitted, projects that have an approved entitlement, building permits that were issued, building permits that were finaled, list any sites rezoned to accommodate housing shortfall, list any sites receiving a commercial development bonus, list any land included in the Housing Element site inventory that has been leased or otherwise disposed of, list surplus sites owned by the locality, and finally, document the receipt and use of Local Early Action Plan (LEAP) grant funding. The information collected is specific to projects that meet the HCD definition of a new housing unit. The information entered onto the reporting forms is for the portion of the project that occurred in 2021 only. For instance, if a project received a building permit in 2019 and was finaled in 2021, the only information reported on the 2021 reporting forms will be the date the building permit was finaled.
One of the main features of the report is to track progress towards achieving the RHNA allocation. Because the 2021 calendar year included both 5th and 6th cycle planning periods, HCD determined that the RHNA numbers included in this report will only include units receiving building permits prior to October 15, 2021. All building permits issued between October 15, 2021 and December 31, 2021 will be reflected in the 2022 Annual Progress Report to be credited towards the 6th cycle RHNA numbers. The HCD reporting format automatically excludes building permits dated after October 14, 2021 and will carry those numbers into the 2022 report.
HCD defines Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) as new housing units and allows the City to count ADU’s towards their RHNA goals without requiring any deed restrictions as long as they can document that the ADU’s are affordable to low and/or moderate-income levels, or can show that local rents meet affordability limits. City staff conducted a rent survey of Fountain Valley homeowner’s who have built ADU’s and it was determined that the amount of rent received for the ADU’s qualified as Very Low-Income rents. This allows the City to count the 38 of the 44 ADU’s that were issued building permits in 2021 towards the City’s Very Low-Income RHNA requirement for the 5th planning cycle. The remaining six will be counted in 2022 in the 6 th planning cycle. It is anticipated that the number of ADU’s built in the City will continue to rise and contribute towards meeting the City’s RHNA goals.
For the 5th planning cycle, Fountain Valley issued building permits for 121 Very Low Income units exceeding the RHNA goal of 83 units by almost 50%. The Above Moderate Income level goal was also exceeded by 40% with the city issuing 211 building permits, 60 more than the 151-unit RHNA goal.
The number of building permits issued for Low and Moderate units in Fountain Valley fell short of the RHNA goals for the 5th cycle. 35 building permits were issued for Low Income units, 24 lower than the 59-unit RHNA goal, and 12 building permits were issued for Moderate Income units, 53 less than the 65-unit RHNA goal. While the city did not meet the RHNA goals for each category of income level, the city issued a total of 379 building permits in the 5th planning cycle, which exceeded the 358 total 5th cycle RHNA goal. See Table B below showing the total count of units receiving building permits for the 5th planning cycle.

77 The largest constraint to the development of affordable housing remains the demise of redevelopment funding. Redevelopment funds were the largest provider of funding for affordable housing outside of programs supplied by the Federal government. The RHNA goal for low, very low and extremely low-income units continues to be difficult to achieve without a new funding source to provide the affordability gap financing that was previously provided by redevelopment funds. The high cost of land in the city, and the lack of vacant or underutilized land in the city, are secondary factors that make it challenging to develop affordable housing projects in Fountain Valley.
Staff recommends the City Council review the attached Housing Element Annual Progress Report and authorize the City Manager to forward it to the California Department of Housing and Community Development and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
There is no financial impact for submitting this report however; the submission of this report is a pre-requisite to keep the current Housing Element certified.

CITY COUNCIL
COUNCIL ACTION REQUEST
To: Honorable Mayor and Agenda Date: March 1, 2022
Members of the Council
SUBJECT: Accept a Fee Proposal from Interwest not to exceed $80,000 for Engineering Plan Check and Encroachment Permit Review Services and Direct Staff to Issue a Purchase Order for the Amount.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Due to an overwhelming workload and a staffing shortage in the Public Works Department, Public Works needs temporary staffing for engineering plan check and encroachment permit review services for three (3) months.
The City of Fountain Valley CIP has forty-three (43) projects with over $23 million in appropriations. Engineering technical staff consists of two associate engineers and one vacant assistant engineer position. The engineering staff also reviews private development plans and processes encroachment permit applications. In the last three years, the number of private development plans coming in for plan check has more than doubled with less staffing.
As such, the engineering division does not have sufficient staffing to execute all projects without consultants' assistance. Recognizing the limited staff resources and significant capital workload already in place, staff solicited proposals for engineering plan checking services from the City’s Council-approved on-call list of qualified consultants. Staff solicited the most qualified consultants whose expertise is in engineering plan check and encroachment permit review services and received one proposal.
Interwest is highly qualified based on its experience and expertise in engineering plan check and encroachment review services. Interwest staff is experienced in grading and drainage plan review for private developments, including commercial, industrial, multifamily and single-family dwellings for compliance with the Building and Grading Codes, Low Impact Development, Fire Department, and Department of Regional Planning Ordinances. In addition, Interwest staff is experienced in permitting and development review/plan check and has ensured that all functions complied with Federal, State, and Municipal standards and regulations.
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the fee proposal from Interwest not to exceed $80,000 for temporary staffing for engineering plan check and encroachment
Council Action Request
Interwest - Plan Checking Services

review services and authorize staff to issue a purchase order for the Interwest On-Call Contract.
DISCUSSION:
Per the City’s purchasing policy and in collaboration with the Finance Department, staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for As-Needed Consultant Services. The RFQ established a qualified consultants list to support the various projects and staffing needs within Public Works for the next three (3) years for various CIP and private development projects. Maintaining an active and comprehensive on-call list will streamline the process of awarding projects to the most suitable firm for specific projects and reduce time soliciting consultant services for each project.
On November 16, 2021, the Council approved five (5) most qualified consultants among twenty-one (21) proposals for on-call services for construction management and inspection including plan checking services.
Among the City’s approved on-call list of qualified consultants, staff solicited proposals from the most qualified consultants whose expertise is in engineering plan check and encroachment review services and received one proposal from Interwest for $79,690.
Interwest’s proposal for $79,690, includes engineering plan check and encroachment review services. Interwest is a well-known civil engineering and construction management firm with a good reputation for excelling in providing a similar type of engineering plan check and encroachment review services. They have experience with similar types of projects throughout the county. Interwest has provided full-service private development plan checking services. They provide services to the County of Los Angeles and various local agencies. Also, Interwest has overseen plan check activities and collection of user and development impact fees. Their expertise in managing projects similar to these will ensure the successful completion of the Public Works Department's engineering plan check and encroachment review needs.

All of register clerks will be trained in proper alcoholic beverage sales rules, including use of Point-of-Sale required identification age verification.
All clerks will be required to read and sign the Alcoholic Beverage Control’s Clerk’s Affidavit and the affidavits will be kept on file by the store operator. Additionally, Thanh Long Supermarket will be required to install high-definition security system that has a view of all parts of the store, especially the alcoholic beverage display area and check stands.

Although the Mom Supermarket and Walmart are located outside the city limits, they are still counted in Census Tract 992.27 according to ABC. As the existing census tract exceeds its off-sale licenses, Thanh Long Supermarket is requesting to add a Type 20 license with approval of a finding of PCN that is subject to review and approval of the City Council.

In order for Thanh Long Supermarket to be obtain a Type 20 license, the City Council must make a determination that the number of permitted off-sale liquor licenses can be exceeded based on a finding of PCN. If the City Council makes the finding, ABC will issue the license.
State law requires that the burden of proof is on the applicant to demonstrate to ABC, or, the local governing body, how Public Convenience OR Necessity will be served by the new retail outlet. Note the “OR” in the PCN; the applicant does not need to prove both elements – just demonstrate one of the elements is enough to meet the burden of proof. Such examples have
Council Action Request – Thanh Long Supermarket Finding for PCN March 1, 2022
been used to justify granting a PCN:
The applicant demonstrates how the proposed use will not be detrimental to the character of development in the immediate neighborhood and will be in harmony with the overall objectives of the General Plan.
The applicant demonstrates the economic benefit outweighs the negative impacts to the community as a whole.
The issuance of the license will provide a needed service not currently being met in the community.
Identify the special and unusual circumstances present here to justify a new retail alcohol outlet when there are already similar alcohol uses exist nearby. Provide information that the applicant cannot operate profitably without a liquor license.
The business provides a wide variety of items for sale in addition to alcohol and will provide a convenient location for the public to shop for necessities while also purchasing alcohol.
Local police conclude there would not be an increase in criminal activity. Subject use is consistent with applicable zoning regulations. Demonstrate reasonable efforts to seek community input.
Thanh Long Supermarket has submitted a justification letter for public convenience for the Type 20 license. Thanh Long Supermarket has stated that they are fully aware of the unique responsibilities of operating a store associated with alcoholic beverage sales and have had no significant issues raised by local law enforcement agencies with respect to alcoholic products or public disturbances associated with the sale of alcohol products.
Thanh Long Supermarket is proposing to sell beer and wine their 34,640 sq. ft. retail store located at 16112 Harbor Boulevard (Attachment #5).

Justification Statements
1. Demonstrate how the proposed use will not be detrimental to the character of development in the immediate neighborhood and will be in harmony with the overall objectives of the City of Fountain Valley General Plan.
Council Action Request – Thanh Long Supermarket Finding for PCN March 1, 2022
Hours of Operation: Our store will be opened from 8AM - 7PM, we believe that our hour operation is between the working hours and not excess the rest time of residence.
Therefore, our neighbor residence will not be affected by our business activities or noise when they are home after work and all during their night time at home.
Security and Noise: Our store will be installed cameras surrounding the building to control the security and safety. All of area of our business including parking spaces, load-unloading areas will always be observed to make sure there will be no disorder, arguments, or loud noise to avoid any mob scene or pandemonium.
Outdoor lighting: Our business will be installed light all around the building to make sure the building surrounding will be bright and clean. We will try to make sure that our area is safe by controlling the area through cameras and contact with government agencies if there are anything happened as soon as possible.
Entertainment: We will not operate any outdoor activities to avoid all the interference, noise, mishmash or hodgepodge. All business activities between customers and employees will be only taken place inside the building.
Traffic and Parking: As mentioned above, we have designed the parking area for customers in the front of the building that face up to the street and not to the residential area which is in the back of the building. We have designed enough allowable parking spaces for customer based on the requirement from the Fountain Valley City to avoid traffic and make sure that it will not obstruct the traffic.
Trash: Our business will contract with Trash Service Company to collect trash from our business frequently based on the amount of garbage that we may produce, it can be 4-6 trash pick-up times per week. The trash bin will be put on the back of the building, but we will not let the trash be overflown because it not only cause the insanitary area which affects our neighbor but also cause us much penalty charge.
The pick-up trash time will be scheduled during our business operating hours only.
Underage sales: We are planning to have long-term business; therefore we always follow all the rules of Government for any of our business activities including Underage rule. We will not sell alcoholic products for any customers who are under 21years old.
In conclusion, here are some solutions for some problems that may occur during our operation and we believe that with our solutions above we will not be detrimental to the character of development in the immediate neighborhood and not cause any interference to our neighborhood.
2. Prove/demonstrate the economic benefit outweighs the negative impacts to the community as whole.
For the negative impacts to the community, we are having some of the recommended solutions above on article a. Our business almost operates inside the premise; therefore, it will not make any harm or badly affect to the community. We are in under control with the problems that may occur and will try to keep in touch with authorized agents to prevent any unexpected problems. However, the economic benefits that the business brings back is not only good for ourselves but also for the community. Having
Council Action Request – Thanh Long Supermarket Finding for PCN March 1, 2022
our business operated will bring more services and improve life quality for the community in the area, our store is selling most of Vietnamese products which satisfy the Vietnamese community's demand, and as we have research, at the area where our premise locates, there are large Vietnamese Community residing there. Therefore, this opportunity is also the help to share the short of Vietnamese Markets in the area.
3. Demonstrate how issuance of the Type 20 license will provide a needed service not currently being met in the community and identify the special and unusual circumstances present here to justify a new Type 20 retail alcohol outlet when there are already similar alcoholic uses existing nearby.
Our business is likely of a Grocery Store which mainly focuses on selling foods (meat, fish, vegetables, etc.) and alcoholic will be one of a category that we sell along with inside the premise. Within 500 feet radius of the premise, there are alcohol seller/stores nearby, but the differences between our business and that business are:
Our business has variety of categories that customers who come to our businesses can purchase most of their needs such as: food, vegetables, home appliances, beverage, etc. Therefore, not all customers come to our business have the demand to buy alcoholic beverages, but selling beverages provide convenience for consumers to save their trip, and save their time and cost to shop around.
We are applying Type-20 Alcoholic Beverage License which means we will not allow customers to consume any alcoholic beverage products at the premise. Customers will just be able to come, get and leave. It is maybe different from other sellers, such as: bar/pub, restaurants, etc. Other stores like liquor stores, beer/wine market. etc will mainly focus only on selling alcoholic products with variety of brands., so they will have a lot of products from variety of alcoholic manufacturers. Our store's goal is to help customers fulfill their needs as most convenient as possible; therefore we will not go specifically on this field that we will import most popular items that can satisfy most customers' needs.
4. Prove that Thanh Long Supermarket cannot operate profitably without a Type 20 liquor license.
The Type 20 Alcoholic Beverage license is very important for us because when operating the business, we will have many competitors around the area. With those other convenience stores, they are all selling alcoholic beverage products that bring the most convenience for their customers. Therefore, if our business operating without the Liquor License which means that we are not allowed to sell alcoholic products, we are not be able to compete with other stores.
Customers will compare the convenient level between our store and other stores where they are easily to satisfy their needs within 1-time shopping, then this is not be a fair competition for us.
For example, compare to the 7-eleven store which locates at the corner of Heil St and Harbor Blvd, they are selling a lot of products and also alcoholic beverages. If we are not having alcoholic products selling at our stores, customers will definitely drive to 7- eleven instead of visiting our store, which will affect our sales revenue.
Council Action Request – Thanh Long Supermarket Finding for PCN March 1, 2022
5. Demonstrate reasonable efforts to seek community input.
Before operating the business, we are trying to finish all paper works and things to make sure that we are following all the requirements from the City or other Government Agents. We have applied the Alcoholic Beverage License to the ABC Department and have completed all the documents that they required, the only thing right now is waiting for the Conditional Use Permit Approval then we can move forward to the final step of our Alcoholic Beverage License Application. With the requirement from ABC Department, we will have to send notice of intention to engage in the sale of alcoholic beverages to every residents within a 500 foot radius of the premise and we have passed 1 month required without receiving any protest against the issuance of the license.
Staff does not anticipate any negative impacts from the proposed Type 20 license. Thanh Long Supermarket will provide employee training, security, and manager oversight to help mitigate the proposed use. Moreover, the Police Department has reviewed and supports the applicant’s request, and has not added any additional conditions of approval beyond those for a Type 20 license that exists for Thanh Long Supermarket today. A summary of city conditions of approval from each reviewing department can be found below and are also included in Resolution No. 22-01 (Attachment #4).

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FOUNTAIN
VALLEY FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE PUBLIC
CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY WOULD BE SERVED BY THE
ISSUANCE OF AN OFF-SALE BEER AND WINE (TYPE 20 ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGE CONTROL) LICENSE FOR THE PREMISES LOCATED AT
16112 HARBOR BOULEVARD
WHEREAS, pursuant to applicable provisions of the Business and Professions Code of the State of California, the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (hereinafter the “ABC”) is charged with the responsibility of reviewing applications and issuance of licenses (“license”) for the sale and/or manufacture of alcoholic beverages in the State of California; and
WHEREAS, in 1994, the California legislature enacted AB 2897. Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4 prohibits the issuance of new alcohol retail licenses in any area that has an undue concentration of alcohol outlets unless a determination is made that the license would serve public convenience or necessity. The determination of “Public Convenience or Necessity” is either made by the ABC or by a local governing body, depending on license type; and
WHEREAS, Thanh Long Supermarket (“Applicant”) has petitioned the ABC for an Off-Sale Beer and Wine (Type 20) License and has requested that the City Council determine the Public Convenience or Necessity is warranted; and, WHEREAS, Section 23958 of the Business and Professions Code provides that the ABC shall deny an application for a license if issuance of that license would tend to create a law enforcement problem, or if issuance would result in or add to an undue concentration of licenses, except as provided in Section 23958.4 of said Business and Professions Code; and
WHEREAS, Section 23958.4 of the Business and Professions Code provides that, notwithstanding the limitations of Section 23958, the ABC may issue a license if the applicant shows that Public Convenience or Necessity would be served by the issuance of such license; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 23958.4 of the Business and Professions Code, the local governing body in this case, the “City Council,” has the discretion to determine when Public Convenience or Necessity would be served by allowing an alcohol license in an area where there is an over concentration of licenses or where there is high crime; and
WHEREAS, under state law Section 23790 of the Business and Professions Code, the ABC may not issue a liquor license if it violates an existing local zoning ordinance; and,
WHEREAS, the subject business is located in Census Tract 992.27 with population such that the ABC may permit up to two (2) off-sale licenses before an undue concentration would exist, and there are currently five (5) off-sale licenses in Census Tract 992.27; and,
WHEREAS, the request for determination of public convenience or necessity, hereinafter (“project”) is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review under §15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because a determination of Public Convenience or Necessity will not with reasonable certainty have any possible effect on the environment; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Fountain Valley resolves as follows:
SECTION 1: The foregoing Recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof.
SECTION 2: That the Public Convenience or Necessity would be served by the proposed sale of beer and wine for off-premises consumption in conjunction with Thang Long Supermarket.
SECTION 3: The City Council does hereby find and determine that adoption of this Resolution is conditionally predicated upon compliance with each and all of the conditions set forth in Resolution No. 22-01 of Conditional Use Permit No. 1896. Should any such conditions, or any part thereof, be declared invalid or unenforceable by the final judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, then this Resolution, and any approvals herein contained, shall be deemed null and void.
SECTION 4: The applicant has agreed to abide by the conditions of approval for the sale of alcohol as set forth in Resolution No. 22-01.
SECTION 5: Pursuant to §15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, an activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA review. Making a determination of Public Convenience or Necessity will not bring about any physical change to the environment. Therefore, in light of the whole record, it can be seen with certainty that the project has no potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. As such, the City finds that the project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) ("general rule exemption").
SECTION 6: The request for Public Convenience or Necessity determination is hereby approved for Thanh Long Supermarket.
SECTION 7: The City Manager and authorized designees are authorized to transmit Resolution No. to the ABC and take any other necessary actions, sign any other documents or instruments, as may be necessary, to implement, and affect this Resolution on behalf of the City.

COUNCIL ACTION REQUEST
To: Honorable Mayor and Agenda Date: March 1, 2022
Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Fountain Valley Amending Chapter 6.08 of the Fountain Valley Municipal Code to Include Organic Waste Reduction and Recycling Requirements of Senate Bill (SB) 1383 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) was signed into law on September 19, 2016 and is the most significant waste reduction mandate in the last 30 years. SB 1383 went into effect on January 1, 2022 and requires the city to amend the solid waste municipal code, Chapter
6.08, to comply with provisions of the legislation. The amendment will bring the City’s solid waste municipal code into compliance with SB 1383 requirements.
Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing for the first reading of the amendment to Chapter 6.08 to include the requirements of SB 1383.
DISCUSSION:
On September 15, 2020 and April 6, 2021 presentations were provided to City Council on Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383). SB 1383 was signed into law to reduce landfill generated greenhouse gases by reducing the disposal of organic waste, increasing edible food recovery, and requiring businesses and residents to recycle food waste. This new organic waste diversion and recycling program is required to be implemented by an enforceable ordinance. The amendment to Chapter 6.08 (attached) will allow the City to administer the following program components to be in compliance with the law:
Provide organic waste recycling service to all residents and businesses Administer a waiver program for exempt businesses
Ensure regulated businesses have an edible food recovery program Ability to conduct inspections and investigations at businesses and residents Have an enforcement mechanism for non-compliant businesses and residents
Council Action Request
Amendment to Solid Waste Municipal Code Chapter 6.08
March 1, 2022
The new language in proposed municipal code is in red text and adds the following sections:
6.08.200 Single-Family Organic Waste Generators
6.08.210 Commercial Organic Waste Generators
6.08.220 Waivers for Generators
6.08.230 Requirements for Commercial Edible Food Generators 6.08.240 Requirements for Food Recovery Organizations and Services, Jurisdictions and Regional Agencies
6.08.250 Requirements for Haulers and Facility Operators 6.08.260 Self-Hauler Requirements
6.08.270 Inspections and Investigations by Jurisdiction 6.08.280 Enforcement
Implementation Efforts
City Staff and Michael Balliet Consulting regularly met with Republic Services to negotiate contract items, rates, and franchise agreement language. We continue to work toward amicable solutions that will maintain compliance and will be a benefit to our residential and commercial customers.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
There is no fiscal impact to the City from the recommended action. City Staff is currently negotiating rates and program components for SB 1383 with Republic Services. At a future council meeting, there will be a Proposition 218 notice presented to City Council to consider a rate increase in compliance with the provisions of the law.
ATTORNEY REVIEW:
The Attorney for the City has reviewed and approved the amendment to Chapter 6.08.
ALTERNATIVES:
Alternative No. 1: Amend Chapter 6.08 – Solid Waste Management to include the requirements of SB 1383.
This is the recommended alternative as it will align the City’s municipal code with SB 1383
Council Action Request
Amendment to Solid Waste Municipal Code Chapter 6.08
March 1, 2022
Alternative No. 2: Do not amend Chapter 6.08 – Solid Waste Management to include the requirements of SB 1383 and direct staff to return with revised language to be presented at a future City Council meeting.
Alternative No. 3: Do not amend Chapter 6.08 – Solid Waste Management to include the requirements of SB 1383.
This is not recommended as the City’s municipal code would not align with the SB 1383 and will place the City in non-compliance with state required organic waste diversion and recycling requirements.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Alternative No. 1, which is to amend Chapter 6.08 – Solid Waste Management to include the requirements of SB 1383.

(1) Acts of God such as earthquakes, wildfires, flooding, and other emergencies or natural disasters;
(2) Delays in obtaining discretionary permits or other government agency approvals; or,
(3) Deficiencies in Organic Waste recycling infrastructure or Edible Food Recovery capacity and the Jurisdiction is under a corrective action plan with CalRecycle pursuant to 14 CCR Section 18996.2 due to those deficiencies.

Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Discussion of Enhanced Noticing of Development Projects EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At the February 1, 2022 Council Meeting, Council Member Constantine moved and received a second that staff bring back a discussion on enhanced public noticing of certain development projects.
DISCUSSION:
Notice requirements for land use projects are addressed by state law. Generally, projects requiring a public hearing for a legislative approval (general/specific plan and zoning amendments) only require publication and posting. (Gov. Code 65090.) Public hearings on adjudicatory decisions (tentative maps, variances, use permits, and other discretionary development permits) require publication / posting and mailing notice to the applicant and affected property owners. (Gov. Code 65091.)
The notice must include the date, time, and place of the hearing; a description of the property; and an explanation of the matter to be considered. (Gov. Code 65094.) The notice must be published 10 days prior to the hearing in the newspaper or posted in three public places. (Gov.
Code 65090.) Notice must also be mailed 10 days prior to the hearing to the applicant and to the owners of property within 300 feet of the project. (Gov. Code 65091.) Though State Law only requires a 300-foot notice, Fountain Valley has its own additional noticing requirement. Pursuant to FVMC 21.58.020, when an entitlement or other land use matter requires a public hearing, notice shall be mailed to:
a. The owner(s) of the property being considered or the owner’s agent, and the applicant(s);
b. Each local agency expected to provide schools, water, or other essential facilities or services to the project, whose ability to provide the facilities and services may be significantly affected;
c. All owners and tenants of real property as shown on the county’s latest equalized assessment roll within a five hundred-foot radius of the subject parcel; and
Discussion of Enhanced Noticing
March 1, 2022
d. Any person who has filed a written request for notice with the director.
Proposed for Council discussion is whether to provide additional noticing beyond this 500-foot requirement.
RECOMMENDATION:
Because this matter was requested as an item for future consideration, staff seeks Council direction and has no recommendation.

SUBJECT: Report from the Measure HH Essential City Services Advisory Oversight Committee on FY2020/21 Audited Measure HH Revenues and Expenditures EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On November 8, 2016 the residents of the City of Fountain Valley approved Measure HH – a one-cent transactions and use (i.e. “sales”) tax. Pursuant to the ballot measure, a citizen advisory committee was formed to review the expenditure of Measure HH revenues in relation to the City’s Responsible Spending Pledge.
DISCUSSION:
The Responsible Spending Pledge sets forth the City’s fiscal policy on the use of Measure HH, which states that the majority of this money should be used to:
Maintain essential city services such as public safety and senior and youth programs Maintain streets, sidewalks, roadways, parks and play equipment, and repair storm water systems
Pay off, pay down, consolidate or refinance outstanding debt Pay down unfunded liabilities; and
Rebuild and maintain the City’s established reserve levels Attract, develop and retain quality staff
On February 2, 2022, the City’s Auditor, Jennifer Farr of Davis Farr LLP (an independent auditing firm), discussed the audit of Measure HH Revenues and Expenditures for fiscal year 2020-21. The 2020-21 auditor’s report reflected approximately $14.1 million of revenue from Measure HH. In accordance with the Responsible Spending Pledge and 20-Year Financial Plan $1.8 million was used to fund essential city services such as public safety, employee retention and senior and youth programs, and $567,892 was used to fund capital maintenance projects including residential road rehabilitation and park improvements. An additional payment of $2 million was made to CalPERS consistent with the City’s 20-Year Financial Plan where the goal is to pay-off all outstanding debt and unfunded liabilities by 2037 when Measure HH sunsets. Additionally, $5.1 million was set-aside to be used to support capital projects in FY 2021-22 including the Police Locker Room, Fire Station No. 1 Remodel, improvements at

The Responsible Spending Pledge sets forth the City’s fiscal policy on the use of Measure HH, which states that the majority of this money should be used to:
• Maintain essential city services such as public safety and senior and youth programs • Maintain streets, sidewalks, roadways, parks and play equipment, and repair storm water systems
• Pay off, pay down, consolidate or refinance outstanding debt • Pay down unfunded liabilities; and
• Rebuild and maintain the City’s established reserve levels • Attract, develop and retain quality staff
The Measure HH Oversight Committee is pleased to have the opportunity to present to you its comments and conclusions concerning Measure HH Revenues and Expenditures for Fiscal Year 2020-21.
On February 2, 2022, the City’s Auditor, Jennifer Farr of Davis Farr LLP (an independent auditing firm), discussed the audit of Measure HH Revenues and Expenditures for fiscal year 2020-21. The 2020-21 auditor’s report reflected approximately $14.1 million of revenue from Measure HH. In accordance with the Responsible Spending Pledge and 20-Year Financial Plan $1.8 million was used to fund essential city services such as public safety, employee retention and senior and youth programs, and $567,892 was used to fund capital maintenance projects including residential road rehabilitation and park improvements. An additional payment of $2 million was made to CalPERS consistent with the City’s 20- Year Financial Plan where the goal is to pay-off all outstanding debt and unfunded liabilities by 2037 when Measure HH sunsets. Additionally, $5.1 million was set-aside to be used to support capital projects in FY 2021-22 including the Police Locker Room, Fire Station No. 1 Remodel and improvements at the Sports Park. The balance of Measure HH revenue in the amount of $4.2 million was transferred to Capital Reserves. The Measure HH Oversight Committee also reviewed the City’s 20-Year Financial Plan, which guides fiscal policy and encompasses the long-term operating and capital needs of the General Fund.
The Measure HH Oversight Committee would like to address two points. First, we believe that the data presented by City staff demonstrates that Measure HH continues to have a positive impact for our city.
For FY 20-21 the over $14 million raised by Measure HH:
1. Helped the City avoid a $1.8 million operating deficit.
2. Helped the City pay an additional $2 million payment toward our CalPERS unfunded pension liabilities.
3. Help the City fund important improvements to our essential city services include renovations to both the Police Station and Fire Station 1.
4. Helped the City fund the future purchase of a fire apparatus ($365,000)
5. Helped the City fund important ADA upgrades to our Sports Park Outbuildings

6. Helped the City fund important road network rehabilitation at the Sports Park The long-term goal is to achieve fiscal sustainability with a balanced operating budget when Measure HH sunsets in 2037. The recent update to the City’s 20-Year Financial Plan reflected an annual operating surplus of approximately $665,744 in 2037-38 when HH sunsets, illustrating the City’s efforts to achieve a balanced budget by 2037 are working.
Second, although we believe that Measure HH has been successful, we believe that the FY 20-21 transfer of $4.2 million to Capital Reserves is inconsistent with the FV Spending Pledge and our Fund Balance Reserve Policy. The City of Fountain Valley Spending Pledge states:
“We also believe, that whenever additional revenue gains are realized, City leadership should seek opportunities to:
• Pay off, pay down, consolidate or refinance the City’s outstanding debt; • Pay down unfunded liabilities; and
• Rebuild and maintain the City’s established reserves levels. (Such reserve policies have been adopted to protect the residents of Fountain Valley in the event of a natural disaster or severe economic downturn and for working cash flow and to fund “pay-go” capital projects.)” For FY 20-21 the audited report indicates that approximately $4.2 million was transferred into Capital Reserves. This transfer is unwarranted. The City target for our Capital Reserves is $10-15 million. With this transfer Capital Reserves will be almost $23 million. Measure HH funds, over the last four years, have helped rebuild Capital Reserves to established target levels, and then some. We believe, consistent with the spending pledge, that the additional $4.2 million in Measure HH funds from FY 20-21 should be applied to outstanding city debt or to pay down unfunded liabilities.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the information provided by city staff, the Measure HH Oversight Committee believes that the audited revenue and expenses for 2020-21 are consistent with the intent of the Measure HH ballot measure and the Responsible Spending Pledge, with the exception of the $4.2 million unrestricted transfer to Capital Reserves. This money should be applied to outstanding city debt or to pay down unfunded liabilities. An analysis of the 20-year spending plan demonstrates that Measure HH will continue to produce additional reserves. We encourage Council to direct staff to process these excess reserves consistent with the City’s spending pledge.
We are thankful for the opportunity to serve and we look forward to continuing to serve the City Council and the residents of this great city.

See accompanying notes to Schedule of Measure HH Revenues and Expenditures. Page 195 1 - Without Measure HH, staff would have faced the challenge of closing Fire Station No. 2, which would have been a gradual process spanning multiple years. The total cost attributable to 14-full-time equivalents (FTEs) within various classifications assigned to Fire Station No. 2 is $2,098,341 Approximately 21.3% of the staffing cost attributable to Fire Station No. 2 has been identified as being funded from Measure HH, which equates to $447,000 2 - Historically, pensions were funded over a rolling 30 year period in accordance with CalPERS funding policy. In 2013 CalPERS approved a change to pension funding, which resulted in shorter amortizations and significant increases in amounts required to be paid to CalPERS beginning in Fiscal Year 2015-16.
The City's annual pension expense was approximately $5 million through Fiscal Year 2015-16, which included $1,606,319 paid for police and fire pension costs for services rendered in prior years (excluding "normal cost" related to the accrual of benefits earned in the current year). In 2020-21, the projected expense for police and fire pension costs for services rendered in prior years is $3,992,864, which includes principal and interest expense paid on Pension Obligation Bonds attributable to police and fire.
Approximately 21.3% of the increase ($2,386,545) in pension expense over the base year equates to $508,000, which has been attributed to Measure HH.
3 - The Recreation and Community Services Department generally provides services that benefit the community as whole. Therefore, user fees and revenues generated by the Recreation and Community Services Department generally do not cover the full cost of programs. Therefore, the General Fund subsidizes the difference. The General Fund subsidy is estimated at approximately $1,715,968 in Fiscal Year 2020-21. Approximately 21.3% of the General Fund subsidy has been identified as being funded from Measure HH, which equates to approximately $365,798 4 - Measure HH was approved by the community to allow for continuous operating and improvement of essential City services. In response to the community needs, the City Council approved negotiated adjustments to salaries and benefits for various classifications. The increase in salary and benefit costs amounted to $2,368,499 in 2020-21, of which approximately 21.3% has been identified as being funded from Measure HH and equates to $504,000
5 - General Fund operating revenues are projected to be $66,831,525 and operating expenditures are projected at $54,594,214 (excluding Pension Trust contributions and additional payments to CalPERS).
The net operating surplus is projected to be $12,237,310. Without Measure HH, the General Fund would have had an operating deficit of $1,824,798. Therefore, this amount has been identified as being funded from Measure HH, which has been used for reoccurring essential City services.

CITY OF FOUNTAIN VALLEY
Notes to the Schedule of Measure HH Revenues and Expenditures Year Ended June 30, 2021
1. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND MEASUREMENT FOCUS
The Measure HH Revenues and Expenditures Schedule (Schedule) is presented using the modified-accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified-accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when they become both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collected within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal year. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting.
2. REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES
Measure HH revenues consist of the 1% transactions and use (i.e. "sales") tax approved by the voters of Fountain Valley on November 8, 2016. Measure HH became effective April 1, 2017, which provided twelve months of revenue in Fiscal Year 2020/21 in the amount of approximately $14.1 million.
Measure HH is a general-purpose tax, which means the revenues received from the tax go into the City's General Fund to maintain or enhance any lawful City program, improvement or service such as police and fire services, senior and youth programs, etc.
Without Measure HH, the General Fund's operating deficit for Fiscal Year 2020/21 would have been $1,824,798. Measure HH expenditures include the utilization of funds to maintain existing services for public safety and senior and youth programs in an amount totaling $2,392,690. In addition, Measure HH expenditures include a one-time expenditure of $2,000,000 for funding of the pension liabilities.
The remaining balance of Measure HH funds represent amounts set-aside in reserves. The reserves set-aside in Fiscal Year 2020/21 include an increase in capital reserves of $9,669,419.
The General Fund reserves set-asides have been $1,747,320 in Fiscal Year 2016/17, $6,914,942 in FY 2017/18, $9,369,018 in FY 2018/2019, $5,655,333 in FY 2019/20 and $9,669,419 in FY 2020/21. During FY 2019/20 a prepayment was made for the purchase of a fire apparatus in which the reserves set-aside was reduced by $1,199,307. Since the original contributions in FY 2017/18, the OPEB and Pension set-aside reserves have accumulated $3,049,840 in investment earnings. As of June 30, 2021 the total reserve balance was $35,206,565.
MEASURE HH REPORT CARD
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021
This Report Card is provided by the Measure HH Oversight Committee based on the Committee's review of the Audit of Measure HH Revenues and Expenditures for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021, which reflects that the use of Measure HH Revenues ($14,062,109) is consistent with the Responsible Spending Pledge.
In accordance with the Responsible Spending Pledge, Measure HH was used to fund essential city services (including Police, Fire, Senior & Youth Programs), capital improvements and to build and maintain reserves. In addition, $2 million was used to make additional payments to CalPERS to pay down pension debt consistent with the City's 20-Year Financial Plan where the goal is to payoff all debt by 2037 when Measure HH sunsets.

20-Year Financial Plan
The City’s fiscal policy is guided by the 20-Year Financial Plan, which encompasses the long-term operating and capital needs of the General Fund. The 20-Year Financial Plan is updated twice a year – in April during the budget process and once the books have been closed and audited for the prior fiscal period. The recent update at the Mid-Year Budget Review in February, 2022 shows an annual operating surplus of $2.4 million in 2037-38 when Measure HH sunsets, demonstrating efforts by the City to balance the budget by 2037 without Measure HH revenues are working. The updated model includes an additional $27 million in funding of unfunded liabilities as well as $64 million in capital projects over the twenty years. The City will continue to prioritize paying down debt and funding essential city services focusing on both short and long term fiscal sustainability.
