COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 5002) DOC ID: 5002
Updated: 12/5/2023 4:21 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 1

ACCESS POINT AND HOUSING RESOURCE CENTER SERVICE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT - Authorize the City Manager or their Designee to Enter into an Amendment with the County of Alameda, for the City to Provide Access Point and Housing Resource Center Services; and Appropriate additional funds.

Contact Persons:

Name: Arquimides Caldera Suzanne Shenfil
Title: Deputy Director of Human Services Director
Div/Dept: Human Services Department Human Services Department Phone: 510-574-2056 510-574-2051
E-Mail: [email protected] [email protected]

Executive Summary: The purpose of this staff report is to request the City Council approve a $177,082 amendment to the service agreement with the County of Alameda for the provision of Access Point and Housing Resource Center Services for those at risk of, or currently experiencing, homelessness; and to increase appropriations by $36,611 in the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency Fund to reflect the additional contracted revenue.

BACKGROUND: In 2017, in accordance with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) mandate, Alameda County began implementing the Coordinated Entry System (CES). The purpose of the system was to coordinate homeless services throughout the County and streamline prioritization for programs and permanent supportive housing units. The City’s Human Services Department has participated in CES by providing housing needs assessments, outreach, documentation and housing application support, as well as referrals to appropriate partner agencies. From 2018 through 2020, Abode Services was designated as a regional Housing Resource Center and subcontracted with the City, via the Human Services Department’s Fremont Family Resource Center (FRC), to provide housing needs assessments and drop-in services. The FRC also contracts with Eden Information and Referral to receive warm transfers from callers seeking assessments and referrals.

Since January 2021, the Alameda County Health Care Service Agency’s (ACHCSA) Office of Homeless Care and Coordination (OHCC) has contracted directly with the City, establishing the FRC as an Access Point and Housing Resource Center.

In 2023, as of the date of this report, the FRC has enrolled 286 new households in coordinated entry, completed 135 crisis assessments and completed 154 housing needs assessments. Staff has augmented Access Point services by partnering with local service agencies during drop-in hours, including Ohlone Career Center, which offers resume support, referrals to job placement opportunities, and appointments for future career and employment coaching. Bay Area Legal Aid provides benefits advocacy, information on eviction and preserving housing, and re-entry support.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Alameda County has requested the City continue to provide access point services and has proposed a one-year amendment (January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024), in an amount not to exceed $177,082.

Council Staff Report (ID # 5002) Meeting of December 12, 2023 Updated: 12/5/2023 4:21 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 2

Under this amendment, the City is required to continue to provide housing problem solving services, crisis assessments, and permanent housing assessments, to eligible callers. The City provides a dedicated phone line for those seeking services. Drop–in Housing Resource Center hours will continue weekly. City Staff participate in monthly regional collaboration meetings with local service providers to engage in case consultations for individuals targeted for permanent supportive housing opportunities, discuss new programs, and strategize or troubleshoot around barriers for individuals not yet targeted for services.

FISCAL IMPACT: Staff anticipates $213,693 in expenses in FY 2023/24, including unspent Calendar Year 2023 contract funding. In anticipation of this program, the City Council appropriated $177,082 as part of the FY 2023/24 Adopted Operating Budget. Staff requests the City Council appropriate an additional $36,611 in the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency Fund (Fund 179) to equal the anticipated expenses for this program through June 30, 2024. FY 2024/25 expenses will be appropriated as part of the FY 2024/25 budget adoption process.

Additional FY 23/24 Appropriation Request

Description Amount
Total FY 23/24 Anticipated Expenses in Fund 179: $ 213,693 Current FY 2023/24 Appropriation in Fund 179: -177,082
Additional FY 2023/24 Appropriation Requested in Fund 179: $ 36,611

There is no impact to the General Fund. The agreement and proposed amendment will cover staff time and administrative overhead costs associated with the program.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The acceptance of a grant from the County of Alameda to provide Access Point and Housing Resource Center services is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), each as a separate and independent basis, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15183 (projects consistent with the general plan or zoning) and/or 15061(b)(3), (the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment) and/or 15378(b)(administrative actions and/or government fiscal activities that do not involve a commitment to a specific project or otherwise result in a potentially significant effect on the environment).

ATTACHMENTS: None.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

2. Increase revenue estimates and appropriate an additional $36,611 for these services in the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency Fund (Fund 179).

ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES SOLUTION RENEWAL - Authorize the City Manager, or Designee, to Issue a Purchase Order and to Execute Implementing Documents with DocuSign, Inc., for the Annual Electronic Signatures Solution Renewal; Associated Appropriation Action
Contact Persons:

Name: Sanford Taylor Dan Schoenholz
Title: IT Director Community Development Director
Div/Dept: Information Technology Services Community Development Phone: 510-494-4802 510-494-4438
E-Mail: [email protected] [email protected]

Executive Summary: The City’s annual purchase order for the electronic signatures solution, DocuSign, expires on December 16, 2023. Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the City Manager, or her designee, to issue a purchase order and to execute implementing documents with DocuSign, Inc., for the Annual Electronic Signatures Solution Renewal in an amount not to exceed $127,512.

Staff is also recommending that the City Council appropriate $95,634 in the Development Cost Center Building Fund to the Land Use Permitting System to pay for the portion of the purchase order cost attributable to integration of electronic signatures into the permitting process.

BACKGROUND: In 2020, the Information Technology Services Department introduced DocuSign, an electronic signatures solution, to improve the signature routing process during the Pandemic. Over the past few years, the solution has been widely adopted by multiple departments across the City, thus increasing staff efficiency and productivity. Each document set being routed for electronic signature is referred to as an envelope, so the purchase order will specify the number of envelopes to be purchased.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The recommended DocuSign purchase order includes 10,000 envelopes to accommodate the current Citywide activity level. However, beginning this fiscal year, Development Services Center staff are planning to integrate electronic signatures into the permitting process to improve customer service and reduce the administrative burden of managing paper documents. An additional 30,000 envelopes will be needed to implement that plan. The cost of those additional envelopes will be paid from permit fee revenue collected in the Development Cost Center Building Fund (Fund 392).

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for 10,000 envelopes to support ongoing Citywide activities, $31,878, was included in the Information Technology Services Department Operating Fund (Fund 620) in the FY 2023/24 adopted operating budget.

To accommodate the additional cost of 30,000 envelopes to support the permitting process, staff is recommending that the City Council appropriate $95,634 of unallocated fund balance in the Development Cost Center Building Fund to PWC8746, the Land Use Permitting

System. Future year costs will be incorporated into the annual operating budget through ITS direct cost allocation to the Development Services Center.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The renewal of computer software licenses is exempt from and not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because, without limitation, it is not a “project” as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2) and/or 15378(b)(5) and as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), each as a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance.

ATTACHMENTS: None.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

2. Appropriate $95,634 in the Development Cost Center Building Fund (Fund 392) to PWC8746, Land Use Permitting System.

Executive Summary: The City has four solid waste agreements, including waste collection, transfer station services, recycling processing and landfill disposal, which are all elements of providing solid waste services to Fremont residents and businesses. Fees for these various solid waste services are calculated biennially in accordance with each contract's terms. While the specific adjustment formula varies by contract, each solid waste agreement includes some of the following elements: a Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment, a fuel adjustment based upon the OPIS (Oil Price Information Service) fuel index, recovery of increases in regulatory fees, current disposal costs, and changes in recyclable commodity prices. The various solid waste fees are all components of the solid waste collection rates set once every two years by the Council and charged to ratepayers.

This report recommends solid waste collection rates for 2024 and 2025, which incorporate the required service fees along with anticipated material collection and recycling processing expenses needed to comply with current State and County recycling regulations.

The recommended monthly rate for the average residential customer for 2024 and 2025 would be $51.02 per month, an increase of $5.00 per month or a 10.86% increase from the current rates. Commercial rates vary by service, but the average commercial customer would experience an increase of 7.7% to 9.8% for refuse and recycling service, depending upon the type of service, for this next two-year period. The overall recommended adjustment has been affected by high inflation and rising fuel costs. Additionally, the residential rate has been impacted by increased curbside material processing costs. Even with these adjustments, Fremont’s solid waste collection rates compare favorably to the countywide average (see enclosure A).

BACKGROUND: Items impacting 2024-2025 rate setting are described below.

Recycling Processing Charge: In June 2022, the City Council approved an amendment to the City’s curbside processing agreement with BLT Enterprises that was designed to align the compensation paid with the anticipated processing costs. The curbside processing fee was refined to include the following three components: 1) per ton incoming material processing fee, 2) mixed paper processing fee, and 3) per ton residue landfill payment. These components have specified biennial adjustments, which have been incorporated into the 2024-2025 rate setting calculations as described in the discussion section of this staff

Council Staff Report (ID # 5058) Meeting of December 12, 2023 Updated: 12/8/2023 9:28 AM by Susan Gauthier Page 2
report. The curbside processing fee is funded by the recycling processing change incorporated into the residential solid waste collection rates.

Prevailing Wage Adjustment: Republic Services is required to pay prevailing wages to its collection drivers who are represented by International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 70 (Teamsters Local 70). Waste Management employs the largest number of drivers any single driver wage classification in Alameda County; therefore, the Collective Bargaining Agreement between Waste Management and Teamsters Local 70 establishes the prevailing wages applicable to all solid waste providers operating in Alameda County. The prevailing wage increase that went into effect in July 2022 (7.2%), and was subsequently increased in July 2023 (5.3%), was higher than the CPI rate. Republic Services submitted a request for extraordinary rate review to address the discrepancy. Staff is recommending incorporating a prevailing wage component into the 2024-2025 rate setting calculations to ensure collection rates are sufficient to cover the cost of providing service and to address this issue moving forward. Staff will be returning to the City Council in early 2024 with a recommendation on the retroactive component of Republic Service’s extraordinary rate review claim.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The solid waste agreements specify the formula to be used for calculating the biennial compensation adjustment for each solid waste service provider.

While the specific adjustment formula varies by individual contract, each agreement includes some of the following elements applicable to that service fee: 1) a fixed component that is not adjusted, 2) a variable component subject to a Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment, 3) a variable component subject to the health insurance index, 4) a fuel component subject to an OPIS (Oil Price Information Service) fuel index, 5) recovery of increases in regulatory fees, and 6) a pass-through of disposal costs. Additionally, the transfer station and recycling processing contracts include a mixed paper commodity price index adjustment.

The chart below summarizes the various solid waste contracts, the components within each fee, and the contractually required adjustments for 2024-2025. Also detailed are the recommended adjustments for each component.

Fixed Costs: This element of the rate pays for start-up costs and capital equipment and is not adjusted during the contract term.

Variable – Health Insurance Index: The transfer station and solid waste collection contracts provide for an adjustment to the health insurance component of the rate using the US City Average Health Insurance Index, as a regional index is not published. The adjustment minimum is the CPI if higher than the Health Insurance Index. For 2024-2025, the CPI of

9.88% was used for the health insurance components of the rate.

Variable – Consumer Price Index: The CPI adjustment is applicable to the variable component of each fee as identified in each solid waste agreement and is calculated on the change in the All Urban Consumers Index (CPI-U), San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward for the previous 24 months. The CPI went from 309.497 in June 2021 to 340.056 in June 2023, a

9.88% increase. The CPI adjustment is also applied to the various liquidated damage penalties provided for in the contracts. The recommended variable adjustment formula for the solid waste collection agreement is a blended index consisting of 45% CPI, 12% US City Average Health Insurance Index (if higher than the CPI), and 43% prevailing wage adjustment, which was 12.9%. The blended variable adjustment was calculated at 11.17%.

ILWU Wage Adjustment: The transfer station and recycling processing contracts included an adjustment for facility worker wages consistent with the 2014-2019 wage schedules agreed to by BLT Enterprises and ILWU (International Longshore and Warehouse Union) and incorporated into the transfer station contract (Exhibit 16). That wage schedule expired on December 31, 2019; therefore, the wage adjustment has reverted to the CPI index adjustment and was adjusted by 9.88%.

Fuel Adjustment: The transfer station and solid waste collection contracts provide for an adjustment to the fuel component of the rate based upon the OPIS fuel index which ha s fluctuated up and down over the years. Fuel costs have increased substantially since the last rate setting and the OPIS fuel index increased 72.88%. The fuel adjustment for the collection contract is slightly different than the one in the transfer station contract. Fuel taxes are included in the fuel adjustment component for the collection contract, while fuel taxes are reflected as a regulatory fee in the transfer station contract.

Council Staff Report (ID # 5058) Meeting of December 12, 2023 Updated: 12/8/2023 9:28 AM by Susan Gauthier Page 5
Transfer and Disposal Costs: Staff is recommending a total disposal rate of $107.13 per ton.

This includes various costs associated with processing and ultimate disposition of all solid waste material delivered to the transfer station. Specifically, it includes the base transfer station rate of $91.83 per ton (which includes landfill disposal of $37.30 per ton) and materials processing/waste disposal costs of $15.30 per ton. Material processing and waste disposal includes items such as, sorting dry waste to divert from the landfill, surcharges due to excess contamination of recycling material, compliance with State diversion regulations (SB1383), removal of homeless encampment and illegal dumped debris, and the City’s contribution to the commercial organics program.

Curbside Processing Fee: The curbside processing fee is intended to fund the processing of residential recycling material for diversion from the landfill in compliance with current State and County recycling regulations. The fee includes the following three components: 1) per ton incoming material processing fee, 2) mixed paper processing fee, and 3) per ton residue landfill payment. The recommended rates include the following adjustments:
• Inbound processing fee component – 9.88% CPI adjustment • Landfill residue component – blended index incuding landfill disposal using the approved landfill disposal adjustment (65%) and transportation using the CPI (35%) for of a blended index calculated at 5.8%.
• Mixed paper processing component – this component is adjusted to reflect the average increase or decline in commodity prices per ton. The recommended adjustment to mixed paper processing component is an increase of $11.08 per ton based upon the same decrease in mixed paper commodity pricing per ton.

Franchise Fee: The franchise fee is paid into the City's General Fund and is used to compensate the public for the value of using the public right-of-way to conduct business. A franchise fee of 10% of residential rates, and 12% of commercial rates was incorporated in the original 1994 Allied Waste/BFI solid waste collection agreement and has been retained in the current agreement. There are no changes to the franchise fee percentage reflected in the recommended 2024-25 solid waste collection rates.

Integrated Waste Management (IWM) Fee: In April 2003, Council established IWM residential fees of 16% (of the residential solid waste rate) and a commercial fee of 13.5% (of the commercial solid waste rate), which were incorporated into the solid waste rates effective January 2004. The purpose of this fee is to fund solid waste management activities performed by the City's Maintenance Division (e.g., litter removal, street sweeping, and debris removal from streets and public areas) and Environmental Service Division activities (e.g., waste diversion, program implementation, regulatory compliance, and solid waste contract administration). Staff recommends that the IWM fee remain at the current percentage to continue to provide services like street sweeping, recycling, right of way litter and debris removal, and encampment abatement.

Solid waste service fee comparison/recommendation: A comparison of the solid waste service fees is provided below. Service fees for the Altamont Landfill and t he Transfer Station were adjusted in 2023 to incorporate regulatory fee increases that occurred during the rate cycle.

Host Fees: At its June 26, 2007, meeting, the City Council established transfer station host fees for franchise waste delivered from Union City/Newark and for all self-haul waste. The host fees are subject to a CPI adjustment as part of the biennial rate setting process and would increase to $10.80 per ton and $12.70 per ton, respectively. The City Council also

2.E
Packet Pg. 20
Council Staff Report (ID # 5058) Meeting of December 12, 2023 Updated: 12/8/2023 9:28 AM by Susan Gauthier Page 7
established a curbside offset fee, which applies to curbside material generated outside of the Tri-Cities and processed at the Fremont Transfer Station. That fee is also subject to a CPI adjustment and would increase from $2.86 per ton to $3.14 per ton.

FISCAL IMPACT: There are no recommended changes to the Franchise and Integrated Waste Management Fee percentages; however, the fees are calculated as a percent of total solid waste rates. Any increase in the solid waste rates result in an increase in the total amount of Franchise and Integrated Waste Management Fees generated; therefore, the recommended rates for 2024-2025 would result in approximately $600,000 per year of additional Franchise Fees (General Fund) and approximately $590,000 per year of additional Integrated Waste Management Fees being collected.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The proposed action is exempt from and not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because, without limitation, it is not a “project” as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2) and/or 15378(b)(5) and it has no possibility of a significant effect on the environment, as specified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), each as a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2025

The following Liquidated Damages shall be levied for Contractor’s failure to meet specific Contractor’s Obligations due to Contractor’s fault during Facility Operations. Payment of Liquidated Damages in no way limits City’s ability to seek other damages; and does not excuse Contractor from conducting appropriate cure of breach or default as provided in Article 11, or such other remedies as may be provided in this Agreement. The amounts for Liquidated Damages will be adjusted biennially to reflect changes in CPI in the manner described in Article 8.

The Parties acknowledge that timely and consistent, efficient Facility Operation is of utmost importance to the Transfer Contractor(s) and the City. Failure to Operate the Facility in accordance with Obligations in the Agreement and failure to allow Vehicles to efficiently unload at the Facility increase the City’s and/or its Transfer Contractor(s)' costs; and the City has considered and relied on Contractor's representations as to its quality of service commitment in entering into this Agreement. The Parties further recognize that quantified standards of performance are necessary and appropriate to ensure consistent and reliable service. The Parties further recognize that if the Contractor fails in its Obligations, the City and its residents and businesses will suffer damages and that it is and will be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the exact amount of such damages. Therefore, the Parties agree that the following Liquidated Damages represent a reasonable estimate of the amount of such damages, considering all of the circumstances existing on the date hereto, including the relationship of the sums to the range of harm to the City, Transfer Contractor, and Collection Contractor(s), that reasonably could be anticipated and anticipation that proof of actual damages would be costly or inconvenient.

The Contractor agrees to pay (as Liquidated Damages and not as a penalty) the amounts listed in the table below for failure to perform the specified events of failure listed in the table due to the Contractor's fault.

In signing this Agreement, the Contractor specifically confirms the accuracy of the statements made in this Exhibit with respect to Liquidated Damages for all events of failure listed below and the fact that it had ample opportunity to consult with legal counsel and obtain an explanation of such Liquidated Damage provisions at the time that this Agreement was made.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 5055) DOC ID: 5055
Updated: 12/5/2023 4:40 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 1

FIVE-YEAR LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH FRIENDS OF HEIRLOOM FLOWERS

Name: Irene Jordahl Suzanne Wolf

Phone: 510-494-4322 510-494-4329
E-Mail: [email protected] [email protected]

Executive Summary: The purpose of this item is to recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager or designee to execute a five-year license agreement, with two five-year renewal options, with Friends of Heirloom Flowers Garden Club for use of Shinn Historical Park and Arboretum, including the Shinn Cottage, for the general purpose of providing care and maintenance of the rose garden and other specific garden areas through volunteer efforts, public enrichment and education, and providing support of ongoing sustainable operations.

BACKGROUND: Friends of Heirloom Flowers Garden Club (Garden Club) is a California non-profit organization that has provided stewardship of the Shinn Historical Park and Arboretum gardens since 1995.

On December 1, 2013, the City entered into a five-year agreement with a five-year renewal option with the Garden Club to facilitate the its use of Shinn Historical Park and Arboretum (Park) to provide care and maintenance of the gardens through volunteer efforts and support of on-going sustainable operations. In 2018, the City and Garden Club continued with a five-year renewal option and the current agreement expires December 2023.

Staff supports the Garden Club’s proposal to continue its volunteer activities in the Park and is recommending a license agreement between the Garden Club and City for a five-year term with two five-year renewal options.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The City of Fremont has enjoyed a positive working relationship with the Garden Club for almost 30 years.

The Garden Club has been instrumental in supporting the Shinn Historical Park and Arboretum, including caring and maintaining the historic gardens and conducting historical tours for visitors to the park. The Garden Club provides historical education of the Shinn family who arrived in the area in 1856 and lived in the small Shinn Cottage until the Shinn Historical House was completed in 1876. The Garden Club tours educate the community about the significance of the gardens that were laid out by the children and cousin of the

original Shinn family. The Garden Club’s volunteer efforts allow community members and visitors to immerse themselves in the natural world of gardening, botany and horticulture.

The proposed five-year term through 2028 and the two five-year renewal options up to 2038 will enable the long-standing partnership between the City and the Garden Club to continue in support of the benefits provided by the volunteers of the Friends of Heirloom Flowers Garden Club.

FISCAL IMPACT: None.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The approval of a license agreement for historic educational docent-led walks, tours and programs, public education, and field trips and maintaining the historical gardens with the Garden Club is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because without limitation, each on a separate and independent basis, the license is not a “project” as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) as the license will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment as the use of the Park by the Garden Club will not have an impact on the environment and as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the license may have a significant effect on the environment per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

ATTACHMENTS: None.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

2. Find the license agreement is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061 and 15378.

ENHANCING VISION 2026 FUND SERVICE AGREEMENT - Authorize the City Manager or their Designee to accept $250,000 in Enhancing Vision 2026 funds recommended by the Offices of Supervisors Haubert and Marquez and to Enter into an Agreement with Alameda County to provide the SparkPoint Fremont program; and Appropriate Anticipated Program Expenses.

Executive Summary: Alameda County Supervisors David Haubert (District 1) and Elisa Marquez (District 2) have each recommended that $125,000 in the Alameda County Enhancing Vision 2026 (EV 2026) Fund, for a total of $250,000 over two years, be allocated to support the Fremont Family Resource Center’s (FRC) SparkPoint program. The purpose of this report is to authorize the City Manager or her designee to accept the funds, upon approval by the Board of Supervisors, and enter into an agreement with Alameda County in the amount of $250,000; and appropriate $125,000 in anticipated FY 2023/24 expenses.

BACKGROUND: The Alameda County EV 2026 Fund supports the goals of a healthy environment, thriving and resilient population, safe and livable communities, and a prosperous and vibrant economy. This funding may be recommended by individual Alameda County Supervisors to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. The City of Fremont is represented by both Supervisors Haubert (District 1) and Marquez (District 2). The Alameda County Health Care Services Agency (HCSA) administers the service agreements for these services.

The Fremont Family Resource Center (FRC)’s SparkPoint Fremont and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers clients tools and support for financial empowerment.

SparkPoint Fremont provides free 1:1 financial coaching and education to primarily low - income families and individuals, though the program is open to all. SparkPoint Fremont works with individuals and families to meet their basic needs, increase their income, build their credit, increase their savings, and reduce their debt. Financial coaches work one-on- one with clients on career coaching to secure employment, connect them to workforce development services, provide microenterprise assistance to start small businesses, and establish banking relationships with local banks and credit unions. They work with the client to recognize behavioral outcomes, set goals, brainstorm strategies, and set realistic action plans. Clients work with their financial coach ranging from six months to three years to create a path towards long-term financial prosperity.

A program of SparkPoint, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program assists with filing over 1500 tax returns annually for Alameda County residents with the work from over 100+ volunteers and FRC staff who coordinate, manage, recruit, and train volunteers and

staff and ensure quality control of tax transmissions to the IRS. Since 2002, $57 million has been returned to the community in tax refunds. Support from the Vision 2026 Fund will ensure the continuation and financial sustainability of the program.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Some common barriers experienced by clients in the SparkPoint Fremont program are job loss; change in family status that affects income/resources for the family, immigration and/or language barriers that present challenges to getting employment and/or learning about resources. Some clients may also experience physical and mental health issues that serve as barriers to securing employment.

Measurable goals for the SparkPoint Fremont program include:

• helping 130 unduplicated individuals and families reach their financial goals by providing one-on-one financial coaching to Alameda County residents; • providing free tax preparation services to a minimum of 1,500 low- and moderate- income families;
• provide one-on-one financial coaching to 30 unduplicated ethnically diverse participants who are unfamiliar to financial systems; and • providing a minimum of 12 financial education workshops.

This additional funding will ensure that the SparkPoint Fremont program will continue to offer the community expanded language capacity and financial coaching through a multi- lingual part-time financial coach and additional temporary VITA staff during tax season.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact on the General Fund. EV 2026 funding augments existing grant, FRC lease income, and federal funding for SparkPoint services and will cover staffing, operating, and indirect costs. This funding was not anticipated at the beginning of the fiscal year; thus, staff recommends the City Council recognize the EV 2026 revenue and appropriate $125,000 in anticipated FY 2023/24 program expenses in the Family Resource Center Fund.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The acceptance of a grant from the County of Alameda to provide SparkPoint services is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), without limitation, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15378(b)(2), (4) and/or (5) (administrative or fiscal activities of a governmental agency that will not cause a potentially significant direct or indirect impact on the environment; 15183 (projects consistent with the general plan or zoning) and/or 15061(b)(3), (the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment). The operation of the SparkPoint program will not cause a significant effect on the environment. Each of the foregoing provides a separate and independent basis for CEQA exemption.

UPDATE TO ENGINEERING FEE SCHEDULE - Public Hearing (Published Notice) to Consider Adopting a Resolution Amending the Master Fee Schedule to Update Various Public Works – Engineering Fees to Reflect Current Cost of Services and to Ensure Accurate Cost Recovery
Contact Persons:

Name: Tiffany Curotto Hans Larsen
Title: Management Analyst II Public Works Director
Div/Dept: Public Works Public Works
Phone: 510-494-4548 510-494-4722
E-Mail: [email protected] [email protected]

Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to facilitate updating fees charged for Public Works Engineering services to align with the City’s goals to deliver quality services in a timely manner and to achieve cost recovery for those services. The focus of this update is on services requiring an encroachment permit for construction in the street right -of-way.

The recommended fee changes will be effective 60 days from the date of City Council action.

BACKGROUND: The City of Fremont has a Master Fee Schedule (MFS) for a variety of City services that includes Planning and Development, Recreation Services and Activities, Animal Services, Human Services, Public Works, Public Safety, and Miscellaneous. A current copy of the MFS is posted on the website for the Finance Department (see weblink below). The MFS is established by City Council Resolution No. 8672 and is updated as needed by supplemental City Council actions.

Over the past few years there has been a significant change and increase in activities that require a Public Works Encroachment Permit for work within the City street right-of-way.

This work typically includes:

• excavation within streets to install, improve, and connect to underground utilities such as water, sewer, electricity, gas, and communication lines; and then restoring the street afterwards to a good condition.
• construction of new or improved sidewalks, curbs, drainage gutters, and driveways, in a manner that conforms with City standards.
• placement of traffic control signs and devices to safely manage traffic around a construction work zone within the street right-of-way.

Since FY 2019/20, the amount of staff time committed to processing encroachment-related permit activity has increased by approximately 60%. The increase in work is attributed primarily to work by utility companies to upgrade or provide new connections to their underground infrastructure. Also, increased work by private property owners to remodel their homes, including the addition of accessory dwelling units (ADUs), is contributing to more underground utility connections and improvements to sidewalks and driveways. The permit activities performed by Public Works Engineering staff generally includes review and approval of plans for construction affecting street infrastructure, and the inspection of work

5.A
Packet Pg. 63
Council Staff Report (ID # 5036) Meeting of December 12, 2023 Updated: 12/8/2023 9:14 AM by Susan Gauthier Page 2
to ensure safe construction practices and to have the completed work conform with City standards.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Pursuant to state law requirements, fees must not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the services. Staff has conducted a rigorous analysis of the time and cost to provide various encroachment permit services. Costs have been based on employee time reporting data collected from the past three years. It is noted that the existing fee structure for Public Works Encroachment Permits was established in 2014 and is deemed to be generating revenue that is 55% of cost recovery. With encroachment permit work activity increasing in significance as a Public Works service, staff recommends “right sizing” the fees to align with the cost of the service. Additionally, with properly set fees, more Public Works staff can be assigned to support encroachment permit activities to provide timely service to its permit customers.

It is noted that encroachment permit fees are primarily used for small development projects and minor utility construction work. Approximately 80% of the permits are issued to utility companies/agencies that include PG&E, Alameda County Water District, Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon. For larger projects and developments, Public Works engineering fees are estimated separately based on the scope of work and are set to be 100% cost recovery. For these larger projects, “billable work orders” are established with an upfront deposit for estimate d City expenses, and then final costs are reconciled based on full cost recovery.

Assuming current encroachment permit activity, recommended fee changes would increase current fee revenues by approximately $780,000 annually. Exhibit A (attached) identifies the recommended changes to the fee categories. Provided below are examples of encroachment permit changes for typical activities:

• Trench excavation (more than 20 square feet) in a neighborhood street and restoration to provide a new underground electrical service connection (typical for a new ADU project.) Current fee for permit application and inspection is $1,230; proposed new fee is $1,650.

• Construction or reconstruction of a new driveway (less than 60 feet wide). Current fee for permit application and inspection is $725; proposed new fee is $1,315.

• Traffic control for closing a traffic lane on a busy street for working at a manhole to access underground utilities. Current fee for permit application and inspection is $502; proposed new fee is $690.

The changes also include the deletion of fee categories which are considered obsolete.

These include fees for block parties (no longer managed by Public Works); curb painting of house numbers (no longer needed due to electronic mapping technology); and paving of park strip areas (no longer allowed by City design standards). Consistent with state law, the recommended fee changes would be effective 60 days from the date of City Council action.

FISCAL IMPACT: The recommended actions have a positive fiscal impact by providing a more precise cost recovery of encroachment permit services, thereby ensuring fiscal sustainability and avoiding potential subsidy by the General Fund.

Executive Summary: This report contains information on the City of Fremont’s Development Impact Fees for Fiscal Year 2022/23 and meets the annual reporting requirements in Government Code Section 66006. This report also provides information on changes in the Bay Area Construction Cost Index for the San Francisco Bay Area and recommends a 1.73% decrease in development impact fees consistent with those changes.

The proposed 1.73% reduction in impact fees is based on the 2023 Construction Cost Index for the San Francisco Bay Area published by the Engineering News Record. The reduction is viewed as a market correction to the relatively high construction cost increase of 13.65% identified for 2022.

BACKGROUND: The Mitigation Fee Act, Government Code Section 66000 et seq., requires that each local agency that imposes development impact fees prepare an annual report providing specific information about those fees. This requirement is part of the law commonly referred to as AB 1600. The Act contains comprehensive annual reporting requirements for development impact fees. An annual report must be made available to the public within 180 days after the close of the fiscal year, and a City Council public hearing must be held at the next regularly scheduled public meeting but not earlier than 15 days after the information is made available to the public. Notice of the time and place of the council meeting must be provided by mail at least 15 days prior to the meeting to interested persons who filed a timely request for mailed notices, per Government code Section 66006(b)(2). The City has complied with the noticing requirements.

Additionally, every five years Government Code Section 66001(d) requires the Council to make certain findings with respect to unexpended impact fees following the first deposit into the fee account. The Council made these findings on March 2, 2021, with the approval of the FY 2019/20 Development Impact Fee Annual and Five-Year Report. The next Five-Year Report will be presented to Council in FY 2024/25.

The City provides for annual adjustments to impact fees to keep pace with the inflationary cost of infrastructure construction. The adjustments are based on the Engineering News Record-Construction Cost Index (ENR-CCI) for the San Francisco Bay Area, which measures the annual fluctuations in general construction costs so that impact fees will continue to generate sufficient funds to construct the facilities needed to serve new development. This index best aligns with the types of construction materials and labor used to implement

Fremont’s capital projects funded with impact fees, which primarily consist of improvements to park and transportation facilities. Annual adjustments are made in accordance with the process established by Council Resolution No. 2017-20, adopted on April 18, 2017.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Annual Report
The City imposes impact fees on new development to mitigate the impacts caused by new development. An impact fee is a monetary exaction other than a tax or special assessment that is charged by a local agency to new development to cover costs of public facilities needed because of impacts created by the new development. Impact fees are typically paid by developers at the time of building permit issuance and cannot be used to correct existing deficiencies or for the ongoing operation and maintenance costs of these facilities. The City’s development impact fees covered by AB 1600 are the following:

• Capital Facilities Fees
• Fire Facilities Fees
• Parkland Fees
• Park Facilities Fees
• Traffic Program Fees

Staff has prepared the attached consolidated report that provides the information required by Government Code Section 66006(b) for Fiscal Year 2022/23, and which was made available to the public within 180 days after the close of this fiscal year:

(A) A brief description of the type of fee in the account or fund. (B) The amount of the fee.
(C) The beginning and ending balance of the account or fund. (D) The amount of fees collected, and interest earned.
(E) An identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the amount of expenditures on each improvement including the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with fees. (F) An identification of an approximate date by which the construction of the public improvement will commence if the local agency determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on an incomplete public improvement and the public improvement remains incomplete.
(G) A description of each interfund transfer or loan made from the account or fund, including the public improvement on which the transferred or loaned fees will be expended, and, in the case of an interfund loan, the date on which the loan will be repaid, and the rate of interest that the account or fund will receive on the loan. (H) The amount of refunds made [as pursuant to Government Code Section 66001(e)] due to sufficient funds being collected to complete financing on incomplete public improvements, and the amount of reallocation of funds made [as pursuant to Government Code Section 66001(f)] due to administrative costs of refunding unexpended revenues exceeding the amount to be refunded.

Annual Adjustment to Development Impact Fees
In accordance with the process established by Council Resolution No. 2017-20 for annual adjustments to impact fees, staff proposes a 1.73% reduction to impact fees, effective July 1, 2024. This annual adjustment is based on the Engineering News Record-Construction

Cost Index (ENR-CCI) for the San Francisco Bay Area, which measures the inflationary cost of infrastructure construction and annual fluctuations in general construction costs so that impact fees will continue to generate sufficient funds to construct facilities needed to serve new development. This index best aligns with the types of construction materials and labor used to implement Fremont’s capital projects funded with these fees, which primarily consist of improvements to park and transportation facilities.

It is noted that the CCI varies from other cost indexes such as the Building Construction Index (oriented toward building structures) and the Consumer Price Index (oriented towards consumer goods and food). Provided in the table below is a comparison of the various indexes and their fluctuations over the past five years. In 2022, there was a large inflationary increase related to construction and consumer costs. In 2023, there has been a market correction to lower inflation levels, including a unique decrease of 1.73% reported for the CCI.

Table - Cost Index Comparisons and Annual Changes for San Francisco Bay Area

2019 2020 2021 2022 2023
Construction Cost Index 2.52% 4.48% 6.62% 13.65% -1.73% Building Cost Index 4.22% 4.88% 11.21% 22.18% 2.66%
Consumer Price Index 3.22% 1.62% 3.15% 6.80% 2.88%

Adjustment to Impact Fees – Effective July 1, 2024. State law requires a minimum 60-day period after Council approval for fee adjustments to go into effect. The proposed 1.73% decrease of the impact fees would go into effect July 1, 2024, which is more than the 60 days required by state law. The new fees that would become effective July 1, 2024 are shown in Exhibit A of the Resolution included with this item.

Public Notice. Impact fee adjustments generally require a noticed public hearing under Government Code Section 66018, for which notice must be provided in accordance with Government Code Section 6062a. The City complied with these requirements by publishing the public hearing notice in the Tri-City Voice on November 21, 2023. Additionally, public hearing e-mail and text notifications of the proposed adjustments to the impact fees were sent to approximately 2,680 email subscribers and 793 text subscribers listed on the City’s e-Subscribe Builder’s Interest List on November 22, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT: Reducing the City’s impact fees by 1.73% ensures that new development is adequately funding its share of the costs of new public facilities, as the costs to construct these projects fluctuate over time. Adjusting the impact fees annually to reflect current construction costs ensures the City does not subsidize new development’s share of these facilities and that adequate funding is available when the City is ready to construct the projects.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The recommended action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) in that it is an administrative or governmental funding mechanism or fiscal

The City has established separate funds for each of these five fees. When a developer pays a development impact fee, the payment is credited to the appropriate fund. Interest earned on the money in a fund is credited to that fund. Each fund is available only for the purpose for which its associated development impact fee was charged, and expenditures cannot be made from a fund for any other purpose.

For each development impact fee fund, the following information is provided in this Report:

A. Annual Reporting Information (Required by Gov’t Code Sec. 66006) (This information is provided for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2022 and ending June 30, 2023.

2. The rate of the fee.

3. The beginning and ending balance in the fund for the fiscal year.

4. The amount of fees collected, and interest earned during the fiscal year.

5. An identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended during the fiscal year and the amount of the expenditures on each improvement, including the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with fees.

6. If both (i) sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on an incomplete public improvement that was identified at the time the fee was imposed and (ii) the public improvement remains incomplete, an identification of an approximate date by which the construction of the public improvement will commence.

7. A description of each interfund transfer or loan made from the account or fund, including the public improvement on which the transferred or loaned fees will be expended, and, in the case of an interfund loan, the date on which the loan will be repaid, and the rate of interest that the account or funds will receive on the loan.

Note that, during Fiscal Year July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023, no refunds pursuant to Government Code Section 66001(e) or allocations pursuant to Government Code Section 66001(f) were made in connection with any of the development impact fee accounts.

All projections regarding future use of City funds for public improvements are made with reference to the most recent Capital Improvement Program of the City adopted by the City Council on June 13, 2023, as amended and updated from time to time.

SHORT TERM RENTAL ORDINANCE – Introduce an Ordinance Adding Chapter

5.100 Short-Term Rentals to the Fremont Municipal Code and to Consider a Finding that the Ordinance is Exempt from the Requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per, Each as a Separate and Independent Basis, (1) Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15061(b)(3) and Section 15378.

Executive Summary: A short-term rental (“STR”) is a rental of all or a portion of a residential unit for periods of less than 30 consecutive nights. The popularity of online booking platforms, such as Airbnb and VRBO, has increased the market demand and supply of short-term rentals. There are approximately 300 to 400 unique STR listings in Fremont.

Short-term rentals provide positive benefits, including the economic benefit of rental income for the host and increased spending in the local economy. However, if unregulated, short - term rentals can negatively impact the long-term housing supply and result in nuisance activities which affect neighborhoods. Staff has developed a draft STR ordinance that would allow STRs to continue to operate in the City and would include provisions to address nuisance conditions that are sometimes associated with STRs.

Staff recommends amending Title 5 (Business Licenses and Regulations) to adopt a STR Ordinance that would allow STRs as an ancillary use in residential units with approval of a STR permit and that includes standards to address potential nuisance and neighborhood compatibility issues associated with STRs.

BACKGROUND: A STR is a rental of all or a portion of a residential unit for periods of less than 30 consecutive nights. Common examples include renting a house or an apartment associated with business travel or vacations. STRs are mostly offered and rented through online hosting platforms, such as Airbnb and VRBO. Online booking sites have increased the number of STR bookings.

STRs can provide positive benefits to travelers by allowing an alternative form of lodging for business travel or vacation. The STR host can derive benefits from the supplemental income through monetizing their home. Supplemental rental income can assist residents with fixed incomes or who are trying to make ends meet. This income helps to offset the currently high cost of housing and property taxes in the Bay Area. The short-term nature of the rental adds flexibility, allowing the host to adjust the rental schedule as needed.

Council Staff Report (ID # 5047) Meeting of December 12, 2023 Updated: 12/7/2023 9:18 AM by Susan Gauthier Page 2
STRs also have the potential to negatively impact neighborhoods if unregulated. The popularity and profitability of STRs has spurred an industry where dwellings are bought and used exclusively for STRs. Local governments across the country as well as locally have adopted STR ordinances to manage the impacts of the growing popularity of STRs. ST R Ordinances commonly include provisions to address issue such as:

• So-called “party houses” homes that are rented to large groups of people, which can impact neighbors and result in calls for service for the Police Department; • Short-term renters may not always know or follow local rules, resulting in public safety issues, noise, trash and parking problems for neighbors; • Conversion of residential units into full time STRs can result in reduced availability of affordable housing options and higher rents; and
• Lack of regulation and limitations on effective enforcement may cause tension between STR operators and neighbors.

There are approximately 300 to 400 unique STR listings in Fremont. This represents less than one percent of the City’s housing stock. STR listings in Fremont are distributed evenly across the City and are predominately single-family residential homes, which make up 79 percent of all short-term rentals. 45 percent of the units rent out their entire home and 55 percent rent out a portion of their home. From 2022 to 2023 the number of STR listings grew 26 percent year over year. Based on its proximity to major employers in Silicon Valley and other Bay Area regional attractions and low hotel vacancy rates, the demand for Fremont STRs is likely to continue to increase.

Fremont does not currently have specific STR provisions in the Municipal Code. STRs have been allowed to operate in accordance with the room and board provisions included in the residential zoning districts (FMC Section 18.90.080). Room and board is listed as an accessory use and allows the rental of a dwelling unit for up to two persons. While originally intended for long-term rentals (30 days or longer), this provision has also allowed STRs to operate in the City.

Many other jurisdictions in the Bay Area have already developed programs and regulations related to STRs. A brief overview of programs is provided in Informational Item No. 1 (Summary of STR Standards in Other Cities).

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: STRs are widespread and currently operating throughout the City of Fremont. Staff is proposing a new chapter to Title 5 (Business Licenses and Regulations) to create a STR Ordinance that would include a ministerial permitting process to allow STRs in the City, while providing tools to address the issues commonly associated with STRs.

The proposed ordinance is intended to fit the characteristics of the community, recognizing that Fremont is not a common destination for traditional tourists, but people do commonly stay in the City for business or medical travel or to visit family. Consequently, Fremont has a relatively small number of STRs compared to tourism-oriented cities; however, the number of new listings in Fremont has continued to grow over time. The majority of STRs operate in the City without reported incident, but there are issues that arise affecting neighborhoods. The City receives approximately an average of two STR related complaints per month. There are currently few standards that STR hosts are required to follow and few code enforcement tools available to address the issues that arise. The proposed STR

Ordinance

Allow Limited Short-Term Rental Uses While Preventing Loss of Housing Stock STRs have generated concerns from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) that they reduce housing stock available for long term residents. The popularity of STRs, and the substantial average rent that may be collected per night has incentivized the use of dwellings as exclusively STRs. In certain cases, one or two weeks of STR revenue may equal the average monthly rent of a standard dwelling, motivating property owners to remove dwellings as a “residence” and shift them into permanent STRs.

This is a significant issue in a time when demand for housing already substantially exceeds supply. Adoption of a STR Ordinance was included as a General Plan Housing Element implementation measure (Program No. 9) intended to prevent long-term units from being converted into STRs and preserve the City’s housing inventory. Per the Housing Element implementation schedule, the City has committed to complete this measure by adopting a STR Ordinance by January 2024.

The proposed ordinance would only allow STRs in a host’s primary residence, where the homeowner or long-term tenant lives and can provide evidence of residency, such as a driver’s license, income tax statement or property tax statement with a homeowner’s exemption. This would ensure that STRs are not displacing residents from existing housing stock. A STR host could not buy multiple properties and rent them on a short-term basis under the proposed ordinance requirements.

The proposed STR Ordinance would also preserve housing stock by reinforcing the existing prohibition on STRs in Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) or Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) in accordance with State law and the City’s ADU Ordinance. Pursuant to California Government Code section 65852.150, the California Legislature found and declared that, among other things, California is facing a severe housing crisis and ADUs are a valuable form of housing that meets the needs of family members, students, the elderly, in-home health care providers, people with disabilities, and others. HCD considers ADUs an essential component of California’s housing supply.

The City adopted an update to the Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance (FMC Section

18.190.005) on July 11, 2023, which implemented recent changes in State law related to ADUs. The ADU Ordinance update reflected a state requirement to allow “Statewide Exemption ADUs”1 which are the State’s statutory minimum requirement for ADUs and JADUs. State law expressly prohibits STRs in these units. 2

The ADU Ordinance also includes provisions to allow and regulate additional ADUs beyond the statutory minimum, which is enabled by state law and encouraged by HCD. 3 State law allows cities to prohibit STRs in these units, which was included in the City’s ADU Ordinance.4

The proposed STR Ordinance would not allow STRs to obtain a permit to operate in an ADU or JADU, which is consistent with State law and the ADU Ordinance. It would also provide additional tools to enable the enforcement these prohibitions, which is consistent with Housing Element Program No. 9.

Preserve Neighborhood Character and Quality of Life
Additional concerns with STRs include effects on neighborhood character and quality of life issues. A rotating series of guests may lead to a lack of neighborliness and result in associated noise, parking and traffic impacts. On-site hosts can intervene and address these concerns; however, un-hosted rentals do not have management on-site to solve problems.

Some cities have adopted STR Ordinances that require a host to be present and prohibit un - hosted STRs. Some STR Ordinances allow un-hosted STRs but limit the number of nights the STR can be rented.

Based on recommended best practices and examples of STR Ordinances recently adopted by other local agencies, the proposed STR Ordinance includes provisions that allow both hosted and un-hosted STRs, but also includes a requirement for a designated local contact person when someone operates an un-hosted STR. The local contact person would be required to respond and take remedial action on complaints within one hour of receiving the complaint.

Staff is encouraging STR hosts or their local contact person to find solutions to addres s potential issues. The designation of a local contact person emphasizes private solutions and neighborliness, as opposed to involvement by the Police Department or Code Enforcement Division. Allowing un-hosted STRs with a designated local contact person would provide flexibility for STR operators, while still including provisions that encourage issues to be addressed privately and in a timely manner.

Other new proposed standards to address potential neighborhood impacts include:

• Prohibition on “Special Events” – Weddings, commercial functions, and similar events would be prohibited as a component of any STR activity. These activities, when not associated with residency, are commercial in nature and inconsistent with the residential character of a residential district.

• Maximum occupancy limit – A maximum occupancy limit would be established based upon two guests per bedroom in the STR.

• On-Site Parking – On-site parking must be made available for the STR guests. This is intended to minimize conflicts in the use of shared on-street parking.

• STR Good Neighbor Guidelines– Hosts must be familiar with the STR Ordinance and understand they are responsible for ensuring they are good operators. Hosts will be required to provide guests with a copy of the STR Good Neighbor Guidelines designed to make the guest familiar with noise, trash, parking and other rules of conduct that preserve neighborhood character and reduce potential conflicts. Staff would complete the guidelines prior to the ordinance becoming effective and it would be made available on the City’s website. It is anticipated to be an approximately two-page document that can be easily reproduced by hosts.

Monitoring and Compliance

Council Staff Report (ID # 5047) Meeting of December 12, 2023 Updated: 12/7/2023 9:18 AM by Susan Gauthier Page 7
Enforcement and the ability to implement regulations is a key consideration for any STR Ordinance. Tracking and identifying STRs can be challenging, as well as enforcement of reported violations. The City’s Code Enforcement Division and Police Department would continue to enforce the ordinance through the issuance of notices of violations and citations or any other enforcement action necessary. It can be difficult or impossible to collect the evidence required to effectively enforce a STR ordinance without tools and assistance. Staff has investigated using a contracted software solution to assist with identifying STRs and ensuring they meet City standards. Many communities outsource portions of the STR regulation compliance monitoring and enforcement to host compliance companies, which specialize in the field and use technology to minimize the implementation and compliance resources required. Host compliance companies can efficiently monitor STR activity, identify non-compliant listings and provide City staff with documentation or evidence of non - compliance if enforcement is necessary.

Amnesty Period
STRs are widespread and have been operating throughout the City for several years. Staff recognizes that many existing STRs have lease agreements up to a year away, and that it will take time for residents to bring their STRs into compliance with the proposed ordinance.

However, a shorter time frame to compliance may reduce impacts on neighborhoods and housing stock. The proposed ordinance would include an approximate one-year amnesty period for hosts to bring their STRs into compliance with the adopted regulations.

If the proposed STR Ordinance is adopted, the City would contact property owners operating STRs to advise them of the new requirements, the registration platform, and a timeline by which registration must be completed by to achieve compliance.

General Plan Conformance
The proposed STR Ordinance allows STRs to operate in the City, while also adopting standards that discourage the conversion of long-term housing into short term lodging.

Program No. 9 in the City’s adopted General Plan Housing Element calls for the City to implement a STR Ordinance that discourages or disallows STRs that remove housing units form the market.

Housing Element Program 9: Short Term Rental Ordinance. The City does not currently have an ordinance in place specifically for the regulation of short-term rental units. Based on current estimates, there are more than 300 short term rental units active in the City. Some of these units are full homes or apartments for rent, which removes units from the long-term housing rental market. Others consist of portions of a unit that is occupied by an owner or tenant. The City shall implement a short-term rental ordinance that discourages or disallows short-term rentals that remove housing units from the market. The City shall also consider a program to promote the conversion of short-term rentals into long-term rental housing options, like ADUs.

The proposed ordinance would allow hosts to operate a STR in their primary residence, which would ensure the unit remains a residential unit and that operation of a STR would be an ancillary use for a primary resident. The STR Ordinance fulfill the requirements of Program No. 9 and meet a commitment the City made to adopt a STR Ordinance by January 2024.

Public Engagement
A City of Fremont website for the STR Ordinance was created and went live on September 26, 2022, to share information, answer questions, and receive input. The webpage included options to take a survey, provide comments through a discussion forum, ask questions, or set up a virtual office hours appointment with City staff to discuss the potential ordinance in greater detail. The STR survey results are included as Informational Item No. 1 and the STR online forum discussion is included as Informational Item No. 2.

On October 19, 2022, City staff held a virtual stakeholder/community meeting regarding the proposed ordinance. Staff presented the purpose and intent of the proposed ordinance, potential standards that could be included in a STR ordinance, received feedback from the public, gave an overview of the process and shared additional opportunities to provide feedback. There were approximately eight attendees. Comments included concerns from existing residents about the neighborhood impacts of existing STRs. Representatives of neighborhood Homeowners Associations (HOAs) expressed concerns about the City allowing STRs where they may be prohibited by CC&Rs. There were no comments at the community meeting in opposition to a STR Ordinance.

Four individuals requested a meeting during virtual office hours. Attendees were all current operators of STRs with questions about the scope of the ordinance, concerns about a potential ordinance impacting their current STR operations and questions about the process of adopting an ordinance.

Articles on the development of a STR ordinance were published in the Fremont Connection on September 30, 2022 and October 14, 2022, City Development Digest Newsletter in September 2022 and October 2022, and the Winter 2022 edition of City News.

FISCAL IMPACT: Staff is not proposing any new fees to obtain a STR permit at this time; however, staff intends to evaluate the program on an ongoing basis, including the costs associated with processing permits and administering the ordinance. Any future fees would require consideration and adoption by the City Council.

Staff intends to contract with a host compliance company to assist with implementation of the STR Ordinance and enforcement. A Request for Proposals was sent to prospective host compliance companies to gauge the cost of their services. Based on the responses received, the estimated annual cost could range between $30,000 and $70,000 depending on selected services the City asks the host compliance company to provide. If the Council adopts the STR Ordinance, staff would return to Council at a later date with a request to approve a contract for host compliance services.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The proposed text amendment is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per, each on a separate and independent basis, (1) Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15061(b)(3), that this is not a project which has the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and (2) CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 in that the proposed ordinance is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

(1) Receive evidence regarding the proposed denial, suspension or revocation; (2) Preserve the evidence whether or not it is admitted; (3) Record the hearing on audio tape and preserve the tape for the record; and (4) Decide whether grounds exist for the denial, suspension or revocation.

Both the permittee and the city have the right to appear and be represented by counsel, cross- examine witnesses, and present evidence and arguments whether good cause exists for suspension or revocation.
(d) Notice of decision. Within 14 days following the hearing, the hearing officer must issue a written decision that states whether the permit is denied, suspended, revoked, or that no grounds exist to deny, suspend or revoke the permit, the factual and legal basis for the decision, and a notice that the appellant may appeal any suspension or revocation as described in subsection (e) of this section . The decision of the hearing officer must be served on the appellant by U.S. mail with a proof of service. The hearing officer’s decision is effective on the date the decision is personally served on or mailed to the parties.

banned and a limit to the number of occupants.

Also, additional fees and penalties should be imposed by the city to cover additional police enforcement of noise ordinance and nuisance calls, etc.

What comments do you have about STRs or an STR ordinance for Fremont? We've all heard many horror stories of people abusing STR which negatively impact the neighbors safety, quality of life and potential property values.

There have also been reports of these abuses within the City of Fremont, mostly perpetrated by renters (as opposed to the property owner).

Annual licensing is a no brainer.

There also needs to be an easy avenue for
people to report illegal STRs, strong penalties levied on every violation, especially the ﬁrst one.

Perhaps require a deposit by
the STR renter to cover potential ﬁnes for violating the ordinance, deposit to be refunded immediately following the stay if no violations were reported.

The city needs to protect ALL it's tax paying residents and ensure that Fremont remains one of the best places to live (not to just visit).

Had multiple people smoking weed in the front yard and purposefully doing it as kids were walking to school because they thought it was funny. Stupid college kids trying to get a rise out of people but they know there will be no consequences since the host lives abroad and Air B&B doesn’t care at all.

What issues or negative impacts associated with STRs do you feel are most important to address? There is an airbnb in our neighborhood that has been used multiple times for parties. The noise is unbareable and the people who rent them out leave trash all over the streets, and this last time there were gunshots and sideshows. These people are not part of the neighborhood nor the community.

What comments do you have about STRs or an STR ordinance for Fremont? STRs don't contribute to our community. We should de-incentivize STRs by regulating how many STRs are allowed by one unit every year, and make the STRs and the management company to pay a heavy ﬁne if rules are broken or complaints are made by residents.

Use the same parameters of traﬃc, safety, new policing infra needs when you allow a new hotel/motel to the city as with each of new STRs. Also, each hotel guest is tracked in many ways in case of a crime .. do we have the same rules for STR guest? this city with the current budget is not equipped to tackle crime, so why worry about allowing STRs for very few tax $$

Excessive corporate STR’s contribute to housing shortages for new buyers and higher costs for housing . A good example of this is Murphy Ca. Their neighborhoods have been destroyed by corporate STR’s.

What comments do you have about STRs or an STR ordinance for Fremont? STR needs clear zoning, regulation, and enforcement in order to maintain safety, privacy, and integrity of individual neighborhoods.

Short term (especially daily) tenants are not considered nor have the interest to be part of the community and would therefore make no eﬀort to contribute in maintaining and supporting the community.

STR must be zoned
appropriately through a transparent community involved process to ensure a net-positive balance to the community.

Most
residential neighborhoods are zoned clearly as either single family or multi family dwellings and not apartment or hotels.

That is the contract that exists between the city and the homeowners.

STR should not be allowed without putting it on the
Ballard!

Parking
Q23.

What issues or negative impacts associated with STRs do you feel are most important to address? There are often too many cars associated with the Airbnb near my house. Consequently, the owner and her guests frequently park in front of neighboring houses. This makes it diﬃcult for full-time neighborhood residents to park in front of their own houses. That's inconvenient and annoying.

What comments do you have about STRs or an STR ordinance for Fremont? An STR ordinance for Fremont should include stipulations that limit the traﬃc generated by STRs and restrict the parking of vehicles associated with an STR to the STR's garage, driveway, and street front. In my neighborhood, this would typically leave room for 6 cars. That's plenty!

I am a landlord and have a property that I rent in Fremont.

I would not want this

Tenants would become landlords with this ordinance and that is a dilemma for any landlord.

not answered
Q29.

What comments do you have about STRs or an STR ordinance for Fremont? I actually prefer no STRs in the neighborhood as I feel they detract from our ability to build strong community/neighborhood ties because there are no stable residents in them.

And because there are no stable residents in them they are more prone to problems such as noise, parking, and lack of pride of ownership.

In addition investors gobble up properties causing
housing prices to rise and impacting future generations ability to purchase a home in Fremont.

However, if they must be
allowed I feel strongly that they should be limited in number and dispersed evenly throughout the city so they are not concentrated in any one area.

There should also be strict limitations on how they can used.

They should not be used for
parties or events and should have limitations on how many occupants they can hold as well as the number and type of vehicles that can be brought in.

Noise ordinances should be respected as well as the neighborhood norms.

Should an STR
repeatedly violate any of the rules, their STR privilege should be revoked.

In our case it also led to increased trash, increased speeding, and increased partying. STR customers do not care about the neighborhood. I do. I choose not to live near a hotel; please do not allow what amounts to a hotel on my street. I would consider moving from Fremont if zoning is irrelevant and any house or condo can be a hotel.

What issues or negative impacts associated with STRs do you feel are most important to address? Slowly, I watch my neighborhood turn into a haven for STRs.

Q29.

What comments do you have about STRs or an STR ordinance for Fremont? There exist Covenants, Codes and Restrictions (CCR)for choice neighborhoods within the beautiful city of Fremont.

Therefore, there is no need to reinvent policy. This is a case where policy enforcement is required.

I understand that
homeowners have the right to enforce their own neighborhood covenants, codes, and restrictions.

With this in mind, the
question becomes how could you melt the two ideas.

How can you safeguard the civility of the neighborhood while allowing liberty for non-homeowners? Well, like I mentioned earlier.

The rules are already in place.

For example, my neighborhood
CCR strictly prohibits trailers parked overnight on the street.

Per law, the neighborhood committee can bring suit.

This is
progress fought for and won, not given.

Last time that I checked, we all are supposed to live in a cooperative society where we have institutional safeguards that protect us from chaos and mayhem. Please, let us not trample our hard earned (and learned) rights.

Q23.

What issues or negative impacts associated with STRs do you feel are most important to address? I was a fan of STRs for Fremont as a way for low income residents to make side money - until I saw the consequences.

In
my own immediate neighborhood - 2 houses had / have STR activity for a number of years so I got to see ﬁrst hand the tradeoﬀ.

Parking became diﬃcult in my own driveway as it was frequently blocked by cars. Trash pick up became diﬃcult as the trash trucks had diﬃculty accessing the bins.

Nuisance behavior also increased. These STRs were renting each room of their house - so each house easily had 4-5 diﬀerent cars in front of the house each night. I came home from work to ﬁnd an STR resident drunk walking around the street trying to chat up the ladies. I came home another night to ﬁnd an STR resident using my front lawn as an oﬃce for her phone calls. When I pulled up into my own driveway she didn’t leave, I had to ask her to leave.

But the scariest change was the increase in visits by FPD. FPD came to our street twice in search of criminal gangs who were using short term rentals as a staging area for activity in the Bay Area.

Once there was a drunken ﬁght in
the street from one STR between multiple people who were renting each room - and we had to call FPD again.

As I watched
and thought about the change I also realized this meant a change in civic engagement. How many other homes in Fremont had turned into hotels pushing out families who were looking to put down roots and invest in the city? These were folks just
passing through, not folks who would vote, buy in our businesses, or send their kids to our schools.

Needless to say - I am
no longer a fan of STRs. I am all for policy changes that discourage STRs - that’s why we have hotels. If a homeowner or tenant wants to rent, then that’s called a lease or a sublet. At a minimum I would strongly support a city ordinance and reporting system that required a 30 day stay. But I don’t know enough about policy in this area to make other suggestions.

What issues or negative impacts associated with STRs do you feel are most important to address? Converting permanent housing to STR reduces the overall availability of homes for families hoping to start a life in Fremont.

Safety in the neighborhood decreases because of the constant turnover of random renters and ﬂux of strangers in the area.

There is also lack of direct accountability for any concerning incidents.

Q23.

What issues or negative impacts associated with STRs do you feel are most important to address? We see non-residents parking on the streets, more occupants in homes than originally intended, and maintenance of homes neglected.

Blocks with STR's are noticeably worse, and this is not why we bought in Fremont.

What comments do you have about STRs or an STR ordinance for Fremont? We do not need STR's in Fremont.

They do not help to resolve the housing shortage.

Let folks rent for a year or more, but
let's not allow AirBNB's to pop up and reduce our quality of life.

In addition, given the chronic understaﬃng of Fremont
police, they are not equipped to address noise, parking or other issues associated with short term rentals.

Since we are not
equipped, let's not enable such situations in Fremont.

What comments do you have about STRs or an STR ordinance for Fremont? It is essential for many in our neighborhood to keep STRs running so they can aﬀord the rise in taxes due to rise in real estate values. If you take that away, you will push long term residents out of their Fremont homes. It is essential to those people to oﬀer this. Also, it is a critical asset to those coming for gig work to the area to be able to stay locally. If they can only aﬀord to stay in Concord, CA, we are contributing to the traﬃc situation. Stay local. Buy local. Lastly, for our Airbnb, a lot of people staying are undergoing serious treatments at Stanford Hospital. Having an aﬀordable place to stay within 15 miles is vital to their overall health. We have seen a ﬂow of children in need of treatment stay in our place. And our speciﬁc situation is also something that many of our neighbors experience. We are a heavily Asian community. My in laws are in the middle of a green card process. They are spending 6 months abroad and 6 months in USA. We need to keep that ﬂexibility to accommodate them until the next 5 years. If STR are not an option, we will not be able to provide them with their own place to stay during their 6 months. They can stay with us but there is a huge push for them to have their own accommodations from them. I understand that and want to provide it.

The guests prefer space for them to get together in a clean, safe, quiet, family friendly neighborhood with kitchen where they can enjoy meals and get together with their families or coworkers so they can feel like home. We sometimes host Fremont residents while their homes are in need of repairs as well.

What comments do you have about STRs or an STR ordinance for Fremont? Owner's should not be allowed to turn a house into multi-unit STR's, thus acting as a motel in a residential neighborhood.

This should not be acceptable as it changes the neighborhood, aﬀects safety of neighboring residents and devalues the homes/neighborhood. STR's should be for a minimum of 30 day, if renting out entire home. An individual room for rent should only be allowed if it is 1 room within a homeowner's primary residence.

No home should be allowed to be divided up
and turned into mulitple short term rental units. A strict STR ordinance is necessary to ensure the safety and value of our residential neighborhoods.

What comments do you have about STRs or an STR ordinance for Fremont? Short-term rentals (STRs) should be prohibited in residential areas due to privacy concerns and their negative impact on the community. For instance, my neighbor uses their house for Airbnb, which leads to unfamiliar individuals hosting parties, creating noise, and littering the streets. Additionally, parallel parking and arguments frequently occur in front of my house, causing considerable discomfort for residents.

What comments do you have about STRs or an STR ordinance for Fremont? STR licensing is a good idea. Following other jurisdictions allowing one to host up to 3 rooms year round or apartments for a shorter duration works well. Separate guest dwellings would also be beneﬁcial to allow STR platforms as an alternative revenue source for home owners and the government.
