Interview candidates for open seats on City Boards, Commissions, and Committees vacant as of March 21, 2022.

BACKGROUND
The City Council opened the annual recruitment period ending December 17, 2021, to fill seats on Boards, Commissions, and Committees with member terms vacant or expiring as of December 31, 2021.

List your qualifications for this
appointment:

Professionally, I have
- 10+ years of security experience,
- 15 years of experience with strategic
communications, community management, and
community outreach with a focus on open source
technology and open access/open information.

As my primary expertise is in security and risk
management, I have:
- created data classification and data management
systems and policies,
- built and audited processes and systems in highly
regulated environments for sharing data and
information.

3.1.b
Packet Pg. 15 Attachment: Application - Open Government Commission - Irwin, Jessica (3822 : Commission Interviews)

In addition to keeping an eye on data quality and data
integrity, I have also:
- lead the communications and coordination for sharing
sensitive or important information with audiences large and small after notable security breaches, legal action, or and other high-profile incidents
- collaborated with several other entities and
organizations (local, state, and federal enforcement,
policy makers, private companies) to ensure that any
information being shared is not abused or misused.

List any service to the
community including any prior
appointments.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, I spent 7 years
organizing and leading cybersecurity and privacy
trainings for librarians, educators, and students.

I have delivered cybersecurity and privacy trainings to students of all ages — elementary school to college
student.

I have also done security trainings for lawyers, judges, and public officials who are frequently the target of
harassment or threats.

What are you goals while
serving on this
Board/Commission/Committee?
I have 3 main goals in community participation:
1) To actively invest in my time, talents, and skills in my community here in Gilroy.
2) To help Gilroy reach its full potential by doing my
part to help build trust with open government initiatives. 3) To share cutting-edge professional knowledge that
helps the city do more despite resource drain and
budget cuts, potentially in cost-effective ways —
especially if technology can help!
Why are you the most qualified
to serve on this
Board/Commission/Committee?
Professionally, my work history and day-to-day
experience give me deep understanding and fluency in
balancing the need for openness with the need for data
privacy and discretion. I am also versed in educating
people about why some information cannot or should
not be shared, and actively demonstrating the various
policies and standards (municipal, state, federal) that various organizations and entities have to comply with
in order to dispell disinformation or rumors from
becoming an issue. Having collaborated with various
law enforcement agencies and regulators (local, state,
federal, and international) during active investigations and incidents, I understand the nuance of articulating
policy and making decisions around information
sharing, especially when there is significant pressure
from external groups for radical transparency (e.g.
putting it all out there without thinking about how

3.1.b
Packet Pg. 16 Attachment: Application - Open Government Commission - Irwin, Jessica (3822 : Commission Interviews)

information could be weaponized to cause harm to a
community or individuals).

On a personal level, I am deeply motivated to
contribute to my community in meaningful ways to
make it better and stronger for everyone.

LAFCO MEETING: June 1, 2022
TO: LAFCO
FROM: Neelima Palacherla, Executive Officer
SUBJECT: FINAL BUDGET FOR FY 2023
FINANCE COMMITTEE / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS 1.Adopt the Final Budget for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.2.Find that the Final Budget for Fiscal Year 2023 is expected to be adequate toallow the Commission to fulfill its statutory responsibilities.3.Authorize staff to transmit the Final Budget adopted by the Commissionincluding the estimated agency costs to the cities, the special districts, theCounty, the Cities Association of Santa Clara County and the Santa Clara CountySpecial Districts Association.4.Direct the County Auditor-Controller to apportion LAFCO costs to the cities; tothe special districts; and to the County; and to collect payment pursuant toGovernment Code §56381.

NO CHANGES TO THE DRAFT/PRELIMINARY BUDGET On April 6, 2022, the Commission adopted its preliminary budget for Fiscal Year 2022-2023. No changes are recommended to the preliminary budget adopted by the commission.

LAFCO ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS REQUIREMENTS The Cortese Knox Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (CKH Act) which became effective on January 1, 2001, requires LAFCO, as an independent agency, to annually adopt a draft budget by May 1 and a final budget by June 15 at noticed public hearings. Both the draft and the final budgets are required to be transmitted to the cities, the special districts and the County. Government Code §56381(a) establishes that at a minimum, the budget must be equal to that of theprevious year unless the Commission finds that reduced staffing or program costswill nevertheless allow it to fulfill its statutory responsibilities. Any unspent funds atthe end of the year may be rolled over into the next fiscal year budget. Afteradoption of the final budget by LAFCO, the County Auditor is required to apportion

the net operating expenses of the Commission to the agencies represented on LAFCO. LAFCO and the County of Santa Clara entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) (effective since July 2001), under the terms of which, the County provides staffing, facilities, and services to LAFCO. The associated costs are reflected in the LAFCO budget. LAFCO is a stand-alone, separate fund within the County’s accounting and budget system and the LAFCO budget information is formatted using the County’s account descriptions/codes.

COST APPORTIONMENT TO CITIES, DISTRICTS AND THE COUNTY The CKH Act requires LAFCO costs to be split in proportion to the percentage of an agency’s representation (excluding the public member) on the Commission. Santa Clara LAFCO is composed of a public member, two County board members, two city council members, and since January 2013 – two special district members. Government Code §56381(b)(1)(A) provides that when independent special districts are seated on LAFCO, the county, cities and districts must each provide a one-third share of LAFCO’s operational budget. Since the City of San Jose has permanent membership on LAFCO, as required by Government Code §56381.6(b), the City of San Jose’s share of LAFCO costs must be in the same proportion as its member bears to the total membership on the commission, excluding the public member. Therefore in Santa Clara County, the City of San Jose pays one sixth and the remaining cities pay one sixth of LAFCO’s operational costs. Per the CKH Act, the remaining cities’ share must be apportioned in proportion to each city’s total revenue, as reported in the most recent edition of the Cities Annual Report published by the Controller, as a percentage of the combined city revenues within a county. Each city’s share is therefore based on the 2019/2020 Report – which is the most recent edition available. Government Code Section 56381 provides that the independent special districts’ share shall be apportioned in proportion to each district’s total revenues as a percentage of the combined total district revenues within a county. The Santa Clara County Special Districts Association (SDA), at its August 13, 2012 meeting, adopted an alternative formula for distributing the independent special districts’ share to individual districts. The SDA’s agreement requires each district’s cost to be based on a fixed percentage of the total independent special districts’ share. The estimated apportionment of LAFCO’s FY 2023 costs to the individual cities and districts is included as Attachment B. The final costs will be calculated and invoiced to the individual agencies by the County Controller’s Office after LAFCO adopts the final budget.

CURRENT YEAR IN REVIEW
PROGRESS REPORT ON FY 2021-2022 WORK PLAN LAFCO’s current fiscal year workplan was adopted at a noticed public hearing held on April 7, 2021. Attachment A depicts the current status (through the third quarter of the year) of the 2021-2022 Work Program. A major work focus during the past year has centered on the Countywide Fire Service Review including project kick-off and management, and stakeholder and public outreach. Staff prepared outreach material and coordinated with the Technical Advisory Committee and partner agencies to conduct three community meetings and a community survey to gather feedback on fire issues. The project has been on hold since January 2022 when LAFCO’s consultant contract was terminated.

Staff is working on a process to retain a new consultant and proceed with the service review. LAFCO has seen a relatively higher application workload during this period – staff is currently processing three major applications and an inactive district dissolution; and has held several other pre-application meetings with local agencies and entities. Staff has also received and responded to many requests for assistance and expertise from local and regional agencies on a variety of matters in support of local or shared goals such as island annexations, environmental review activities, regional plans, housing needs allocations, city general plan updates and other topics that affect local agency boundaries and services. Similarly, responding to public inquiries is another significant and growing area of the workplan and staff has seen an increase in the volume and complexity of such inquiries particularly requests for information under the Public Records Act. In accordance with the Commission’s directive, as opportunities arise and time permits, staff has conducted targeted outreach to various local entities (special districts, County, cities and other community organizations/individuals) on LAFCO’s role in promoting sustainable growth and good governance. Other notable administrative activities and projects that have been completed or are underway include among others, the annual financial audit, the annual report, new commissioners onboarding, required staff training, bylaws revision, and office space lease negotiation and extension. Notwithstanding the preceding progress on various work plan items, some important, high priority projects such as the comprehensive review and update of LAFCO policies and scanning of LAFCO records have fallen behind and will not be completed by the end of the fiscal year. The delays are partly due to the application workload, increased demand for LAFCO services and staff’s efforts to prioritize and meet the needs of the local agencies and the public; and staffing issues including a vacant analyst position since January 2021. The projects in the current workplan that will not be completed by the end of the fiscal year have been added to the proposed FY 2023 workplan. The Finance Committee discussed this situation and its impact on the accomplishment of the work plan items and recommended that staff consider the option of recruiting temporary staff or an intern to assist with certain work plan items such as the scanning of LAFCO records. The LAFCO Annual Report for FY 2022 will be published at the end of the current fiscal year and will document all the applications reviewed and processed by LAFCO in Fiscal Year 2022; and will summarize the various accomplishments, activities/projects that LAFCO has engaged in or completed during the period.

STATUS OF FY 2021-2022 ADOPTED BUDGET
Attachment D includes the FY 2022 final budget adopted by the Commission at a noticed public hearing on June 2, 2021, the status of LAFCO’s expenditures and revenues as of February 28, 2022 and expenditure and revenue projections for FY

5.3 Packet Pg. 33 Communication: LAFCO Budget for FY 2022-2023 (COUNCIL CORRESPONDENCE)

PAGE 4 OF 13
2022 year end. The adopted LAFCO budget for FY 2022 is $886,330 and reflects a 10% reduction compared to the previous fiscal year’s (FY 2021) budgeted operating expenses. It is estimated that the total year-end projected expenditures for FY 2022 would be approximately 22% lower than the adopted budget primarily due to salary savings from the vacant analyst position and unspent Business Travel (due to the pandemic) and Consultant Services line items (due to the fire service review consultant termination, although it is expected that a portion of the Consultant Services line item amount will be encumbered for the new consultant). Staff anticipates that year end revenue for FY 2022 will tally with the amount budgeted. LAFCO has received the respective FY 2022 cost shares from the County, the cities and the independent special districts. The actual fund balance rolled over at the end of FY 2021 was higher at $312,351, compared to the amount estimated ($288,660) in the FY 2022 budget. The excess fund balance and the unspent FY 2022 expenditure amounts will carry over into FY 2023 and will be used to reduce net operating expenses that would in turn translate to reduced FY 2023 costs for contributing agencies.

PROPOSED WORK PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023
Attachment C includes the proposed work plan for FY 2023, as recommended by the Finance Committee, for consideration and adoption by the full commission. The proposed workplan includes ongoing as well as new projects and outlines detailed projects/activities organized under six broad areas: (1.) LAFCO application processing; (2.) island annexations; (3.) outreach, government/community relations and customer service; (4.) service reviews, special studies and sphere of influence updates; (5.) commission support; and (6.) administrative projects. The work plan assigns priority levels (high, moderate, low); and designates whether the work is to be conducted by staff or outside consultants. The proposed work plan includes a broad spectrum of responsibilities that LAFCO, as an independent local agency and as a regulatory body of the state, is expected to fulfil in its role of promoting sustainable growth and good governance in Santa Clara County. It incorporates the Commission’s legislative functions and mandates and also the Commission’s proactive local initiatives and priorities such as its directives for ongoing public outreach and communications, comprehensive organizational assessment and its proactive service review and implementation program. Reduced staffing levels due to a vacant analyst position since January 2021 will continue to affect work plan priorities and the accomplishment of the work plan. Recruitment for the vacant position is pending completion of the County’s classification study for LAFCO which is expected to be completed in the next few months at which time LAFCO can begin recruitment. However, actual professional staffing capabilities will be below 4.0 FTE for at least half of the upcoming fiscal year, and possibly longer considering the onboarding and training period for the new staff person.

5.3 Packet Pg. 34 Communication: LAFCO Budget for FY 2022-2023 (COUNCIL CORRESPONDENCE)

PAGE 5 OF 13
According to the Comprehensive Organizational Assessment report prepared by LAFCO’s consultant, even the 4.0 FTE staffing level is lower than other LAFCOs with comparable operations. However, in August 2020, the Commission voted to maintain the current 4.0 FTE staffing level given uncertain economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic but kept open the option to consider the potential addition of 1.0 FTE in the future. To address this reduced staffing situation, staff must actively manage the workload in order to focus on accomplishing essential activities such as processing applications, completing projects currently underway such as the Countywide Fire Service Review, maintaining core administrative functions, tracking on-going projects and studies, supporting the commission and responding to local agency and public requests for assistance. Non-essential activities and other proactive initiatives will need to be deferred until staffing levels/expertise are restored. This is consistent with past practice where LAFCO’s statutorily mandated activities take priority over administrative projects that are not statutorily required, and over proactive commission-initiated projects which are discretionary but support LAFCO’s mission and statutory requirements.

PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023
Attachment D includes the proposed Budget for FY 2022-2023 as recommended by the Finance Committee, for consideration and adoption by the full commission. The Finance Committee conducted a thorough review of the work plan and budget and recognized the public benefit of LAFCO’s work and the high demand for LAFCO’s services from local agencies and the public. The Committee maintained its commitment to ensure adequate resources that allow the Commission to fulfill its statutory responsibilities and accomplish its work plan while also limiting costs for LAFCO’s funding agencies As a result, the proposed budget maintains the overall expenditure for FY 2023 ($1,222,980) at a substantially similar level to the current year budget ($1,210,990). In addition to managing expenses to limit net operating expenses, projected current year cost savings (from salary savings, unspent travel, and other reduced operational costs), and a larger than estimated fund balance from FY 2021 are expected to result in a $312,351 fund balance at the end of the current year – and will be used to further reduce net operating expenses in FY 2023. LAFCO’s proposed net operating expense for FY 2023 is 11% higher than the current year budgeted amount which was 10% lower than FY 2021 which in turn was 14% lower than the FY 2020 operating expenses. Thus, the proposed 11% increase follows two years of reduced local agencies’ apportionments and is needed to meet state mandates and LAFCO work plan objectives.

DESCRIPTION OF FY 2022-2023 BUDGET LINE ITEMS LAFCO and the County of Santa Clara entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) (effective since July 2001), under the terms of which, the County provides staffing, facilities, and services to LAFCO. The associated costs are reflected in the proposed LAFCO budget. LAFCO is a stand-alone, separate fund within the County’s accounting and budget system and the LAFCO budget information is formatted using the County’s account descriptions/codes. The following is a detailed itemization of the proposed budget.

EXPENDITURES Expenditures are divided into two main sections: Staff Salary and Benefits (Object 1) which comprise 66% of the total expenditures, and Services and Supplies (Object 2).

OBJECT 1. SALARIES AND BENEFITS $810,419 This line item supports the salary and benefits for the 4.0 FTE positions including the Executive Officer position, the two Analyst positions and the Clerk position. One Analyst position is currently vacant. Recruitment for the position is on hold until the County’s classification study for LAFCO staff positions is completed. LAFCO contracts with the County of Santa Clara for staffing and services and in accordance with the MOU between the County and LAFCO, all four positions are staffed through the County Executive’s Office. The proposed amount is based on the best available projections from the County at this time for salary and benefits for the 4 positions. Changes to the projections for the four positions that occur within the next couple of months will be reflected in the Final LAFCO budget. $0

OBJECT 2. SERVICES AND SUPPLIES
5255100 Intra-County Professional $10,000 This includes the costs for services from various County agencies such as the County Surveyor’s Office, the County Assessors’ Office, and the Registrar of Voters. The County Surveyor assists with map review and approval for boundary change proposals. In addition, the Surveyor’s Office also assists with research to resolve boundary discrepancies. The County Assessor’s Office prepares reports for LAFCO and the Registrar of Voters provides data necessary for processing LAFCO applications. This item also allows LAFCO to seek GIS mapping services including maintenance and technical assistance from the County Planning Office, as necessary. This budgeted amount has been maintained at the same level as the current year. 5255800 Legal Counsel $78,326 This item covers the cost for general legal services. In February 2009, the Commission retained the firm of Best Best & Krieger for legal services on a monthly retainer. The contract was amended in 2010 to reduce the number of total hours required to 240 hours per year. The contract sets the hourly rate and allows for an annual automatic adjustment to the rates based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). In 2017, the contract was once again amended to increase the monthly retainer cost and limit the CEQA work within the retainer to 24 hours annually. Any additional CEQA work above 24 hours would be charged outside the retainer at the same hourly rate. The monthly retainer for FY 2023 increases to $6,278, based on a 3.2% increase in the Consumer Price Index for the prior calendar year (2021). This item covers the annual retainer fees and includes additional monies to cover approximately 10 hours of work outside the retainer at the current hourly rate of $299. 5255500 Consultant Services $150,000 This item is budgeted for hiring consultants to assist LAFCO with special projects such as for conducting service reviews and special studies, facilitating a strategic planning workshop, scanning LAFCO’s hardcopy records into the existing electronic document management system, meeting broadcast services for LAFCO meetings and for conducting the annual financial audit, among others. The Commission must take action to authorize such special projects prior to expending funds. This item also includes costs associated with ongoing existing contracts such as costs for maintenance and hosting of the LAFCO website by an outside provider. 5285700 Meal Claims $750 This item includes cost of food to support Commission events, workshops, meetings. 5220200 Insurance $9,237 This item is for the purpose of purchasing general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage for LAFCO. In 2010, LAFCO switched from the County’s coverage to the Special District Risk Management Authority (SDRMA), for the provision of general liability insurance. Additionally, LAFCO also obtains workers’

5.3 Packet Pg. 37 Communication: LAFCO Budget for FY 2022-2023 (COUNCIL CORRESPONDENCE)

PAGE 8 OF 13
compensation coverage for its commissioners from SDRMA. Workers’ compensation for LAFCO staff is currently covered by the County and is part of the payroll charge. SDRMA has recently provided estimated FY 2023 contribution amounts for use in the budgeting process: Property Liability ($8,137) and Workers’ Compensation ($1,100). SDRMA is in the process of negotiating rates on behalf of its program membership and expects to confirm rates in mid-May. The Final budget will reflect any major revisions to these estimates. 5270100 Rent & Lease $53,132 This item includes monthly rent for LAFCO office space during the FY 2023. The current lease term expires on May 5, 2022. At its February 2, 2022 Meeting, the Commission authorized the extension of the lease for a five year period through April 30, 2027. 5250100 Office Expenses $5,000 This item includes funds for purchase of books, subscriptions/publications necessary to keep current on laws and trends; small equipment and supplies for office operations, including printer/photocopier lease. 5255650 Data Processing Services $28,038 This item includes estimated costs associated with County Technology Solutions & Services Department (TSS) providing IT services to the LAFCO program. According to TSS, the projected costs cover Telecom services for 5 phones- VOIP/Landline ($3,300), Wireless Carrier Service ($550), MS Adobe special order, Acrobat Pro and MS Visio monthly subscription ($2,535), and other services ($21,653) comprising Enterprise Content Management services and solutions, Kronos support, Architecture and Innovation Services, Claranet services, Data Analytics and Visualizations, digital print and sccLearn. Any further revised cost estimates received from the County will be reflected in the Final LAFCO budget. 5225500 Commissioner’s Fees $10,000 This item covers the $100 per diem amount for LAFCO commissioners and alternate commissioners to attend LAFCO meetings and committee meetings. 5260100 Publications and Legal Notices $1,000 This item is for costs associated with publication of hearing notices for LAFCO applications and other projects/ studies, as required by state law. This budgeted amount has been maintained at the same level as the current year. 5245100 Membership Dues $12,887 This item includes CALAFCO – the California Association of LAFCOs membership dues. As approved at the CALAFCO Annual Membership Business meeting on October 31, 2019, the FY 2023 membership dues for Santa Clara LAFCO is $11,287. Additionally, this item includes estimated membership dues for CSDA – the California Special Districts Association. In June 2018, CSDA informed staff that Santa Clara LAFCO as a customer of SDRMA, must be a member of CSDA pursuant to SDRMA bylaws.

5250750 Printing and Reproduction $1,500 This covers printing expenses for reports such as service reviews or other studies and documents. 5285800 Business Travel $10,000 This item includes funding for staff and commissioners to attend conferences and workshops. It would cover costs of air travel, accommodation, conference registration and other expenses at the conferences. CALAFCO annually holds a Staff Workshop (April 2023) and an Annual Conference (October 2022) that is attended by commissioners as well as staff. 5285300 Private Automobile Mileage $1,000 This item provides for mileage reimbursement when staff travels by private car to conduct site visits and attend meetings / training sessions. This budgeted amount has been maintained at the same level as the current year. 5285200 Transportation and Travel (for use of County car) $600 This item would cover costs associated with the use of a County vehicle for travel to conferences, workshops, site visits and meetings. 5281600 Overhead $30,041 This overhead charge is established by the County Controller’s Office, for service rendered by various County departments that do not directly bill LAFCO. The overhead includes LAFCO’s share of the County’s FY 2023 Cost Allocation Plan which is based on actual overhead costs from FY 2021 – the most recent year for which actual costs are available. The overhead amount includes the following charges from: County Executive’s Office: $11,036 Controller-Treasurer: $10,131 Employee Services Agency: $6,550 OBA: $330 BHS-MH - Employee: $211 TSS Intragovernmental Service: $912 Technology Services & Solutions: $3,496 Procurement: $137 Further, a “roll forward” is applied which is calculated by comparing FY 2021 Cost Plan estimates with FY 2021 actuals. The FY 2021 cost estimates were lower than the actuals by $2,736; this amount is added to the FY 2023 Cost Plan. This is a state requirement. 5275200 Computer Hardware $3,000 This item is designated for any required hardware upgrades / purchases.

5.3 Packet Pg. 39 Communication: LAFCO Budget for FY 2022-2023 (COUNCIL CORRESPONDENCE)

PAGE 10 OF 13
5250800 Computer Software $5,000 This amount is designated for computer software purchases, and annual licenses for GIS software and records management (LaserFische) hardware/software annual maintenance agreement. 5250250 Postage $1,000 This amount covers postage costs for mailing notices, agendas, agenda packets and general correspondence. This budgeted amount has been maintained at the same level as the current year. 5252100 Training Programs $2,000 This item covers the costs associated with attendance at staff development courses and seminars. CALAFCO conducts University Courses throughout the year on topics of relevance to LAFCO.

REVENUES
4103400 Application Fees $30,000 It is anticipated that LAFCO will receive approximately $30,000 in fees from processing applications. The actual amount earned from fees depends entirely on the level of application activity. 4301100 Interest $6,000 It is estimated that LAFCO will receive an amount of approximately $6,000 from interest earned on LAFCO funds. 3400150 Fund Balance from Previous Fiscal Year (FY 2022) $201,006 It is projected that there will be a savings or fund balance of approximately $201,006 at the end of the current year, which will be carried over to reduce the proposed Fiscal Year 2023 costs for LAFCO’s funding agencies (cities, independent special districts and the County). Projected Year-End [FY 2022] Fund Balance = (Projected Year-End [FY 22] Revenue + Actual Fund Balance from Previous Fiscal Year [FY 21] + Funds Received from Local Agencies in FY 22) - (Projected Year-End [FY 22] Expenses) = ($36,000+ $312,352 + $886,330) - $1,033,675 = $201,006 The fund balance excludes the reserves.

RESERVES
3400800 Reserves Available $200,000 This item includes reserves for two purposes: litigation reserve – for use if LAFCO is involved with any litigation; and contingency reserve – to be used for unexpected expenses. If used during the year, this account will be replenished in the following year. Since 2012, the reserves have been retained in a separate Reserves account, thus eliminating the need for LAFCO to budget each year for this purpose.

5.3 Packet Pg. 40 Communication: LAFCO Budget for FY 2022-2023 (COUNCIL CORRESPONDENCE)

PAGE 11 OF 13
The Reserves amount was held at $250,000 since FY 2020 to timely implement potential recommendations from the Comprehensive Organizational Assessment, and as a tentative measure in recognition that LAFCO operates in an increasingly complex and controversial environment. The implementation of the Comprehensive Organizational Assessment Study is currently pending the completion of the Classification Study by the County, which is expected soon. In FY 2022, LAFCO reduced the Reserves to $200,000, in order to further reduce costs to local agencies given the COVID -19 related economic hardships. The Finance Committee recommends maintaining the current level of reserves for FY 2023. This places the proposed Reserve amount at approximately 16% of the total FY 2023 expenditures. LAFCO has not adopted a Reserves policy, however as an independent agency, LAFCO should maintain sufficient reserves for flexibility and stability in the event of unanticipated needs.

FY 2023 NET OPERATING EXPENSES FY 2023 Net Operating Expenses = (Proposed FY 2023 Expenditures) - (Proposed FY 2023 Fee & Interest Revenues + Projected Fund Balance from FY 2022) = ($1,222,980) – ($36,000 + $201,006) = $985,974 The projected operating expense for FY 2023 is based on projected expenditures and revenues as well as on estimated fund balance for the current year. Further revisions may be needed as we get a better indication of current year expenses/revenues towards the end of this fiscal year. Additionally, a more accurate projection of costs/revenues for the upcoming fiscal year could become available, particularly for employee salary and benefits. This could result in changes to the proposed net operating expenses for FY 2023 which could in turn impact the costs for each of LAFCO’s funding agencies.

COST APPORTIONMENT TO CITIES, INDEPENDENT SPECIAL DISTRICTS AND COUNTY In January 2013, independent special districts were seated on LAFCO. Government Code §56381(b)(1)(A) provides that when independent special districts are represented on LAFCO, the county, cities and independent special districts must each provide a one-third share of LAFCO’s operational budget. The City of San Jose has permanent membership on LAFCO pursuant to Government Code Section 56327. As required by Government Code §56381.6(b), the City of San Jose’s share of LAFCO costs must be in the same proportion as its member bears to the total membership on the commission, excluding the public member. The remaining cities’ share must be apportioned in proportion to each city’s total revenues, as reported in the most recent edition of the Cities Annual Report published by the Controller, as a percentage of the combined city revenues within a county.

5.3 Packet Pg. 41 Communication: LAFCO Budget for FY 2022-2023 (COUNCIL CORRESPONDENCE)

PAGE 12 OF 13
Government Code Section 56381 provides that the independent special districts’ share shall be apportioned in proportion to each district’s total revenues as a percentage of the combined total district revenues within a county. The Santa Clara County Special Districts Association (SDA), at its August 13, 2012 meeting, adopted an alternative formula for distributing the independent special districts’ share to individual districts. The SDA’s agreement requires each district’s cost to be based on a fixed percentage of the total independent special districts’ share. Therefore, in Santa Clara County, the County pays a third of LAFCO’s operational costs, the independent special districts pay a third, the City of San Jose pays one sixth and the remaining cities pay one sixth. Government Code §56381(c) requires the County Auditor to request payment from the cities, independent special districts and the County no later than July 1 of each year for the amount each agency owes based on the net operating expenses of the Commission and the actual administrative costs incurred by the Auditor in apportioning costs and requesting payment. The following is a draft apportionment to the agencies based on the proposed net operating expenses for FY 2023.

Apportionment of the costs among the 14 cities and among the 17 independent special districts will be calculated by the County Controller’s Office after LAFCO adopts the final budget in June. In order to provide each of the cities and districts with a general indication of their costs in advance, Attachment E includes draft estimated apportionments, based on the proposed FY 2023 net operating expenses and the 2018/2019 Cities Annual Report. The final apportionments will be prepared by the County Controller’s Office based on the latest available Cities Annual Report. $328,658

RECOMMENDATION

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gilroy setting the tax rate for F iscal Year 2022-2023 with respect to general obligation bonds for the Gilroy Community Library Project.

BACKGROUND
On November 4, 2008, the voters of the City of Gilroy approved ballot Measure F for construction of public library improvements adjacent to City Hall. Measure F provided for the authorization to issue general obligation bonds for up to $37 million. It was anticipated that the authorization would be split between two series of bonds. The first series was issued in May 2009 and the second series was issued in August 2010.

8.6 Packet Pg. 79

There is $3 million remaining in unissued authorization available to the City for future use. The City has spent the majority of both the Series A and Series B bond proceeds on the construction of the new library and other library facility improvements. There is approximately $5 million remaining of the bond proceeds.

During fiscal year 2019-2020, the bonds were refinanced to take advantage of the low interest rate environment. The refinancing saved property owners interest costs since the refinancing included a lower interest rate on the principal, thus lowering the required levy rate.

ANALYSIS
Staff recommends the FY23 tax rate of $0.017 per $100 of assessed valuation, which represents a tax of approximately $17 per $100,000 of assessed valuation (after applicable homeowner exemptions). As the assessed valuations of properties increase over time, the ad valorem tax rate for the library bond will decrease. The prior year’s rate was also $0.017 per $100.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Adoption of the tax rate for FY23 will keep the levy amount for taxpayers unchanged from the prior year and will not hinder the annual repayment of the bonds.

RECOMMENDATION

Approve an amendment to the agreement with Cal-West Lighting and Signal Maintenance, Inc. to extend the contract term to June 30, 2024, and authorize the City Administrator to execute the amendment and related documents.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Due to the continuous need for regular maintenance and emergency responses for traffic signal and streetlight maintenance, the City needs support from Cal-West Lighting and Signal Maintenance, Inc.

Under the existing contract, Cal-West is the City’s traffic signal and streetlight

8.7 Packet Pg. 83

maintenance and repair contractor. They provide services such as: routine inspection and preventive maintenance to the City’s streetlight and traffic signal systems, conduct emergency repairs, and provide underground service alert (USA) marking. An extension to the Cal-West agreement would allow them to continue to provide these essential services to the City.

BACKGROUND
Currently, the City owns 34 traffic signal systems and maintains an additional 11 traffic signal systems that are Caltrans owned. Additionally, the City also owns and maintains 4,847 streetlights. Both the traffic signal and streetlight systems require regular maintenance that includes, but not limited to; monthly routine, 3 -month routine, 6-month routine, and annual routine maintenance.

The City is also required to respond to emergency calls regarding public safety. These responses can range from a simple knockdown, to traffic collisions, to power outages.

These repairs vary in type and frequency from month to month.

Lastly, this agreement also allows the City to utilize Cal -West for the Underground Service Alert (USA) program. This program requires the City to mark all City underground utilities such as traffic loops, electrical conduits, and signal networking systems prior to any third-party excavations. Due to the increase in construction activities within the City, this service is not just essential but also mandatory.

ANALYSIS
Traffic signal and streetlight maintenance is a specialized electrical and electronics service that few general contractors are qualified to provide. Cal-West was selected through a competitive review and interview process and has been providing this service.

The original contract, in the amount of $306,210 annually, is effective until June 30, 2022; however, per the existing contract, the City may elect to extend the contract for two additional one-year terms, through June 30, 2024.

Per Exhibit A, Cal-West has proposed to extend their contract without adjusting the current pricing or submitting for a consumer price index increase for the next two fiscal years, FY23 and FY24. For this reason, Staff recommends the Council to approve a contract extension with Cal-West Lighting to the end of FY24 (June 30, 2024)

ALTERNATIVES
Council could choose not to approve the amendment to the contract with Cal -West Lighting and Signal Maintenance, Inc. This would ter minate any existing maintenance contract with the contractor and may result in delay in services in relation to preventative maintenance and emergency responses. Staff does not recommend this alternative.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE

8.7 Packet Pg. 84

This contract amendment would extend the contract through June 30, 2024. Sufficient funds have been budgeted in the approved FY23 budget under the Gas Tax Fund 209 (2105) and 213 (2103) for City’s traffic signal and streetlight maintenance and repair services, as such, the extension of the contract with Cal-West is adequately funded in FY23, and will be included in the proposed FY24 budget.

NEXT STEPS
With Council approval staff will finalize the amendment to the agreement and complete the approval process.

RECOMMENDATION

Council approve the amendment.

BACKGROUND
The City of Gilroy has an exclusive franchise a greement with Recology South Valley for solid waste management services. The agreement is set to expire at the end of June.

The City’s shared Environmental Services Division with Morgan Hill is currently negotiating the new agreement.

DISCUSSION

8.8 Packet Pg. 123

The City's current franchise for solid waste management services with Recology South Valley expires at the end of June. While the City and Recology have been negotiating a new franchise agreement for several months that will both extend the time of the franchise and accommodate the new services required by State law, this document is not finalized and a short-term extension will be required. Staff recommends that the Council authorize the City Administrator to execute the attached two-month franchise extension subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney.

ALTERNATIVES
Council may amend or reject the extension.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
There are no new fiscal impacts to the City from this extension. The current contract terms will simply continue for the additional timeframe until the new franchise agreement negotiation and adoption process completes.

CONCLUSION
The extension amendment is required in order to maintain operations while the negotiation process completes.

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT

BETWEEN THE CITY OF GILROY

AND RECOLOGY SOUTH VALLEY

This Fourth Amendment to the Franchise Agreement (“Fourth Amendment”) is entered this ____ day of June, 2022, by and between the City of Gilroy (the “City”), a municipal corporation of the State of California, and Recology South Valley (“Contractor”), a California Corporation.

This Fourth Amendment is made with references to the following facts:

A. City and Contractor are currently parties to an Agreement dated September 2, 1997, as amended from time to time (the “Franchise Agreement”), by which City granted to Contractor the exclusive franchise to collect, transport and dispose of garbage and refuse produced within the corporate limits of City. The existing Agreement expires July 1, 2022.

B. City and Contractor are currently engaged in negotiations to establish a new franchise agreement pursuant to which Contractor shall provide for solid waste collection and management services and additional services to support compliance with SB 1383.

C. New franchise documents are nearly finalized but will not be ready for Council consideration prior to the expiration of the current franchise.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the factual premises and the covenants and conditions set forth in this Fourth Amendment, City and Contractor hereby agree as follows:

Section 18 (a) Commencement and Term shall be amended and replaced in its entirety by the following:
18(a) Commencement and Term.

The term of this Agreement shall be eighteen (18) years and two months in addition to the unexpired portion of the term of the present franchise agreement between the parties, that is, until August 31, 2022.

All other terms of the Franchise Agreement, the First Amendment to the Agreement, the Second Amendment to the Agreement, and the Third Amendment to the Agreement which are not in conflict with the provisions of this Fourth Amendment shall remain unchanged in full force and effect. In case of a conflict in the terms of the Franchise Agreement, the First

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Approve the Purchase of a Vactor 2100i Combination Single Engine Sewer Cleaner from Owen Equipment in an amount not to exceed $594,156.16.

RECOMMENDATION

Approve the purchase of a Vactor 2100i Combination Single Engine Sewer Cleaner from Owen Equipment in an amount not to exceed $594,156.16 using the cooperative purchasing agreement with Sourcewell (formerly known as the National Joint Powers Alliance).

BACKGROUND
On December 4, 2017, Council unanimously approved the adoption of Resolutio n Number 2017-39 authorizing the City Administrator to enter into an agreement with the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) and take advantage of the nationally leveraged competitively solicited purchasing contracts.

9.1 Packet Pg. 127

The City utilized the purchasing power of NJPA Contract #022014-FSC as allowed by the City’s purchasing process. The City has used NJPA in the past for purchasing.

NJPA completes all the required research, advertising, and competitive process aligned with the City of Gilroy Purchasing Policy.

On June 6, 2018, NJPA became formally known as Sourcewell. Sourcewell promised to maintain and continue to recognize the NJPA name. Membership agreements, contracts, and agreements entered into with the NJPA will remain valid and continue in effect without impact. This is to ensure contractual continuity and to safeguard any disruptions to engagement with Sourcewell. Included in this would be membership, use of cooperative purchasing contracts, or other contractual engagements.

On May 2, 2006, The State Water Board adopted Order No. 2006 -0003-DWQ, Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements (GWDR) for Sanitary Sewer Systems (SSS) to regulate wastewater collection system management. The Order required public agencies that own or operate sanitary sewer collection systems with more than one mile of sewer pipes that convey untreated wastewater to a publicly owned treatment facility, to develop and implement a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) aimed at reducing, monitoring, and reporting Sanitary S ewer Overflows (SSOs).

The GWDR order is in compliance with the Clean Water Act (CWA). The CWA establishes the basic structure for regulating discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States. The Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP) from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) has issued statewide waste discharge requirements for sanitary sewer systems, which include requirements for development of an SSMP.

The City of Gilroy’s SSMP contains information on City sewer programs and plans for operation and maintenance of the sewer collection system. Each element of the SSMP describes how the City will comply with the Statewide Water Discharge Requirements (WDRs) for Sanitary Sewer Systems. This will aid in eliminating or reducing cl aims, fines, and lawsuits against the City.

The Vactor truck being purchased will be used to augment the existing fleet compliment and to relegate the oldest Vactor in Fleet, which is 17 years in age, to a back -up status or emergency status when a Vactor is in service or otherwise unavailable. The Vactor purchased in 2017 will remain as a primary unit. The older Vactor with an estimated 500-gallon capacity of water for cleaning will be held in emergency reserve and eventually retired. In contrast, the new Vactor has a 1500-gallon capacity of water for cleaning.

The Vactor truck is used as the first defense against sewer blockages, spills into waterways, and sewer intrusions, as well as digging for waterline repairs using its hydro-excavator capabilities. It is imperative that problematic pipes, including those in easements and siphons, be cleaned on their established cycles in order to protect

9.1 Packet Pg. 128

health, the environment, and property. Performing this work with the Vactor protects the City from any potential regulatory enforcement by the Environmental Protection Agency, State Water Board and Non-Governmental Organizations such as River Watch, Baykeepers, and Clean Water Action.

ANALYSIS
The acquisition of a new Vactor will ensure that the Streets/Sewer/Trees Division can adequately adhere to its Preventative Operation and Maintenance objectives, which are as follows:
• Proactive, preventative, and corrective maintenance of gravity sewers, • Ongoing CCTV inspection program to determine the condition of the gravity sewers,
• Rehabilitation and replacement of sewers that are in poor condition, and • Properly train City employees and contractors to assure proper operations and maintenance of the collection system facilities.

ALTERNATIVES
Council can opt to not approve the purchase of a new Vactor. The 2005 Vactor has severe limitations in its capacity, replacement parts and cleaning capability, making it a poor choice for the City’s cleaning programs. Without a capable unit, crews are taken away from conducting both the High Priority Cleaning (HPC) and System Wide Cleaning (SWC)programs which lead to increased blockages, more service interruptions and SSOs. These can lead to claims, fines, and lawsuits. Staff does not recommend this option.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The total pricing associated with the purchase of a new Vactor 2100i Combination Single Engine Sewer Cleaner is as follows:

Description Cost
Sourcewell Price $544,473.00
Sales Tax $49,683.16
Total Purchase Price $594,156.16

The Vactor 2100i will be purchased using Fund 600 (Fleet). The adopted FY22 budget includes $1.5 million for vehicle replacement across the organization, including $500,000 for the Vactor. Due to the ongoing supply chain issues worldwide, ordering of new vehicles is backed up therefore staff do not project expending the full budgeted

9.1 Packet Pg. 129

amount for FY22. Staff recommend utilizing the appropriations from the remaining vehicle replacement budget to fund the balance of the Vactor truck of approximately $94,000. Staff plans to return to Council at mid-cycle with revised recommendations for vehicles to be replaced during FY23 based on market availability of new vehicles.

NEXT STEPS

RECOMMENDATION

Accept the 2019-2021 Public Health Goal Report for the Gilroy Drinking Water Syst em in accordance with California Health and Safety Code 116470.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City’s water system continues to comply with all health -based drinking water standards and Maximum Contaminant Levels established by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

10.1 Packet Pg. 139

The City of Gilroy obtains its municipal water supply from groundwater well sources within the Llagas Basin Aquifer. The City currently operates nine water wells (referred to as Well 1, 2…,8,8a) that vary in depth and are located throughout the City. In 2021, these wells supplied potable water to an estimated 58,213 residents for personal and industrial use.

This Public Health Goal (PHG) Staff Report for 2019-2021 is being provided to the City Council to comply with SWRCB regulations. SWRCB regulations require cities with over 10,000 water connections to prepare a report and hold a public hearing, for the purpose of accepting and responding to public comment, whenever any drinking water contaminant exceeds the established PHGs. PHGs are classified more as recommendations than mandates. Neither the SWRCB nor USEPA mandate additional actions nor specific treatments for contaminants exceeding PHGs.

One constituent in the City’s water, Tetracholoroethylene, also known as perchloroethylene (PCE) and sometimes called “dry-cleaning fluid”, has exceeded the established PHG, on average, by 0.00003 Milligram/liter for the years 2019-2021.

Attached to this staff report are the Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) for 2021 and the July 25, 2019 monitoring report for Well 2. The CCR is a water quality summary of the Gilroy water system that is mailed to all residents each year. The 2021 CCR is attached to this staff report because it shows the max imum concentration of PCE detected in the water system for the PHG reporting period. The Well 2 monitoring report is the corresponding source document for the maximum detection level of PCE.

BACKGROUND
The USEPA and the SWRCB develop regulations called Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act. MCLs are the legal limit of a contaminant that can be found in drinking water and still protect public health.

PHGs are established by the State Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.

Similar to MCLs, PHGs prescribe the maximum amount of a contaminant that can be found in drinking water. MCLs are enforceable regulatory standards that all public water systems in the state must adhere to. Conversely, PHGs are non -enforceable health- based goals that do not consider the limits of detection and available treatment technologies. Some PHG levels are such that current water systems either cannot meet or would have to invest an exorbitant amount of money and effort to meet, which makes delivering drinking water at those PHG levels infeasible. PHGs are generally considered recommendations rather than mandates.

Section 116470(b) of the California Health and Safety Code requires all public water systems with more than 10,000 service connections to prepare and submit a PHG Report by July 1st, which covers the preceding three calendar years. This PHG Report contains information regarding a contaminant found in the City of Gilroy’s water system that exceeded its PHG identified level.

10.1 Packet Pg. 140

The PHG Report is prepared because the PHG for one constituent in the City’s water, Tetracholoroethylene (also known as perchloroethylene or PCE), has exceeded the PHG, on average, by 0.00003 mg/l for the years 2019-2021.

Tetrachloroethylene is a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent and chemical intermediate which is used in several commercial processes. It is often used as a dry cleaning and textile-processing solvent and for vapor degreasing in metal cleaning operations.

Numerous household products contain some level of PCE. PCEs used in the production of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) has declined in recent years due to reduced production of CFCs (which are often associated with aerosol sprays, blowing agents for foams and packing materials, solvents, and refrigerants) stemming from efforts to protect the stratospheric ozone layer from depletion. Solvent recovery operations and recycling have also reduced demand for PCE production. Past dry -cleaning operations in Gilroy are the most likely source of contamination in our wells. These chemicals were from previous releases into the ground and percolated to the current water table level where the solvent was detected.

It is important to recognize that PHGs are goals rather than enforceable standards and that public water systems are not required to meet PHGs. Public water systems are only required to not exceed the MCLs established by the SWRCB. In the three years covered by this report, the City has only exceeded the PHGs for one contaminant, Tetrachloroethylene (PCE), and only in two out of the nine wells. The City’s water has never exceeded the MCLs for PCE.

The MCLs are enforceable standards that represent the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. PHGs are based solely on publi c health risk considerations, and do not account for the practical risk -management factors that are considered by the USEPA or the SWRCB when establishing MCLs. PHGs are concentrations of drinking water contaminants that pose no significant health risk if consumed for a lifetime, based on current risk assessment principles, practices, and methods. PHGs are established by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and are not enforceable standards.

ANALYSIS
Some of the test results for Well 1 and Well 2 have exceeded the PHG for PCE. The MCL for PCE is 0.005 mg/l (milligrams per liter, which is the same as parts per million) and the PHG is 0.00006 mg/l. The MCL for PCE is 83 times higher than the PHG.

Wells 1 and 2 have been tested monthly in 2019, 2020, and 2021, whereas Well 3 and Well 7 have been tested quarterly. The range of detections in these years was between non-detect and 0.0024 mg/l. The highest reading for PCE was at Well 2 on July 25, 2019 with a reading of 0.0024 mg/l, which is still 48% below the MCL. The average concentration of PCE for the 3 years of this report is 0.0000 9 mg/l. Each year’s average readings are only slightly higher than the PHG and well below the MCL of 0.005 mg/l as shown in the chart below.

10.1 Packet Pg. 141

Wells 1 and 2, which are located within 2,500-3,000 feet of each other in central Gilroy, produce approximately 35% of the City’s water supply. It is important to note that all City wells have, at all times, met State/Federal standards for drinking water. The City’s water system continues to comply with all health -based drinking water standards and maximum contaminant levels established by the SWRCB and the USEPA. No additional actions or treatment are recommended by the State or USEPA as there is no known impact to humans.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
There are no financial impacts associated with receiving and filing this report.

Water Department
California drinking water regulations require that water delivered by public water systems be, at all times, pure, wholesome and potable, as required by the Federal and State Safe Drinking Water Acts. To accomplish this mandate, domestic water must meet strict standards, as established in the California Domestic Water Quality and Monitoring Regulations. This regulation includes primary and secondary Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) and monitoring frequencies for specified microbiological, chemical and radionuclide contaminants. Primary contaminants are those that may have an adverse health effect. Secondary contaminants are those that may adversely affect the aesthetic quality of the drinking water. The regulation includes the provisions adopted by the federal Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974. The state has direct enforcement responsibility for all public water systems with 200 or more service connections.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establishes monitoring requirements and maximum contaminant levels. As the EPA develops new standards, California will amend state regulations, which establish water quality requirements for local water supplies.

The domestic water supplied by the City of Gilroy meets all current regulations. This report includes the respective Public Health Goal (PHG), or the federal Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) for chemicals that do not yet have a PHG.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The City of Gilroy is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take
to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/regulatory-information- topic/regulatory-information-topic-cross-cutting-issues#lead TABLE 6 - DETECTION OF UNREGULATED CONTAMINANTSChemical or ConstituentSample DateLevel DetectedAction LevelHealth Effects LanguageVanadium (ppb)7/8/03Avg. 1.19(ND–5.0)50The babies of some pregnant women who drink water containing vanadium in excess of the action level may have an increased risk of developmental effects, based on studies in laboratory animals*Any violation of an MCL or AL is asterisked.

City of Gilroy
Annual Water Quality Report PWSID#4310004
The report contains important information about your drinking water. Translate it or speak with someone who understands it.

Este informe contiene información muy importante sobre su agua beber. Tradúzcalo ó hable con alguien que lo entienda bien.

The City of Gilroy tests it’s water for many constituents as required by State and Federal Regulations. This report shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1–December 31, 2021.

The City of Gilroy is committed to providing a safe and reliable supply of excellent quality drinking water that meets Federal and State regulations.

This brochure is a snapshot of the quality of water that we provided in 2021. Included are the details about the source of the City’s water, what it contains, and how it compares to State standards. We are committed to providing you with information because informed customers are the best allies. The City encourages public interest and participation in decisions affecting the community’s drinking water supply. Our City Council generally meets at 6:00 P.M. on the first and third Monday of each month at City Hall. The Santa Clara Valley Water District Board (SCVWD) of Directors meetings are on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 9:30 a.m. (and the fifth Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. when applicable).

The City of Gilroy will take any steps necessary to ensure that your water continues to meet safe drinking water standards.

The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Drinking Water Field Operations Branch, requires water agencies to annually notify their customers of the constituents or elements in their drinking water. This is not the result of punitive action, nor is it indicative of any violation of treatment practices. It is strictly a mandated public information service legislated to keep you informed each year of the facts about your drinking water.

Water System
The City of Gilroy obtains its municipal water supply from ground- water well sources within the Llagas Basin Aquifer. The City currently operates nine water wells that vary in depth that are located throughout the City. In 2021, these wells supplied 58,213 residents with water for personal and industrial use. Gilroy treats our water with chlorine disinfection to remove or reduce harmful contaminants that may come from the source water. The City has performed a Source Water Assessment of our water which identifies possible impacts to water quality. Our source water is considered most vulnerable to the following activities: gas stations, dry cleaners, and metal plating/ finishing/fabricating. A copy of the Source Water Assessment is available by contacting Engineering at (408) 846-0450. If you have any questions regarding this report or the water system, please contact Jeff Castro at (408) 846-0270.

As the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) develops new
standards, California will amend
state regulations that establish
water quality requirements for local
water supplies. The domestic water
supplied by the City of Gilroy meets
all current regulations.

This report includes the respective
public health goal (PHG), or the
federal maximum contaminant level
goal (MCLG) for chemicals that do
not yet have a PHG.

System Improvements
To meet the growing needs of our customers, the City of Gilroy is continually evaluating, maintaining and improving our water system.

The City has installed variable frequency drive (VFD’s) on three of our wells in an effort to reduce energy costs and maintain system pressure during high demand. The City is also in the preliminary stage of a new well at McCarthy Ranch on the south side of the City.

The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) required all cities in California to do an inventory of service lines containing lead, or lead containing materials, in their water system. In June of 2018 the city completed the inventory and identified 450 steel services out of 15,167 services with materials containing small amounts of lead in our distribution system. The city has begun systematically removing and replacing these services as required, in fact the City has already reduced the inventory of its steel services to 263 as of April 2022.

The City submitted a timeline to SWRCB in 2020 regarding the plan for removal of all of the remaining steel services, the timeline was accepted by the state and all services will be reduced by July 2028.

It is important to note that the groundwater that makes up 100% of Gilroy’s supply does not have the corrosive properties found in other parts of the country that has resulted in elevated amounts of lead in the water. Gilroy participates in the mandatory tri-annual testing and reporting on lead and copper in our water. The levels observed in that specialized testing are extremely low. In fact, the levels are so low that SWRCB has allowed the City to reduce the frequency of testing from annually to tri-annually.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Act Hotline (1-800-426-4791).

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek the advice about drinking water from their health care providers.

USEPA/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).

Water Conservation
State agencies, led by the State Water Resources Control Board, has executed a statewide water conservation campaign to make all Californians aware and encourage personal actions to reduce water usage. More information is available about water
conservation and actions at the following website: cityofgilroy.org/ waterconservation
Water conservation measures not only save our water supply, but can also cut the cost of water. Conserving water reduces the energy costs of pumping water to our facilities as well as the chemical costs for treating the water. There are several measures you, as the water consumer, can do to conserve on water usage.

Conservation measures you can use inside your home include:

1. Fix leaky faucets, pipes, toilets, etc.

2. Install water-saving devices in faucets, toilets and appliances.

Simply replacing old fixtures with a new one will reduce water consumption by nearly one-half. (See Santa Clara Valley Water District web site for rebates available for water saving devices at http://www.valleywater.org/rebates

3. Wash only full loads of laundry.

4. Don’t use the toilet for trash disposal.

5. Take shorter showers. Do not let the water run while shaving, washing, brushing teeth, or cleaning fruits and vegetables.

6. Run the dishwasher only when full.

7. Purchase an energy efficient washing machine and dishwasher and receive a rebate.

You can conserve outdoors as well:

1. Water the lawn and garden as little as possible. Outdoor watering is more efficient between 7p.m. and 3a.m., and also reduces demand during peak use periods. From November-March water 1 day a week or less. From April-October watering 2 days per week.

2. Use mulch around plants and shrubs or choose plants that don’t need much water. Get a rebate for replacing your lawn at www.valleywater.org/landscaperebateprogram

3. Repair leaks in faucets and hoses. Use water-saving nozzles.

4. Wash your car at a commercial car wash that recirculates its water.

5. Sweep clippings, leaves, and dirt from walks and driveways rather than using the hose.

6. Obey any and all water use restrictions and regulations.

Consult the City of Gilroy website at www.cityofgilroy.org/ waterconservation for the latest water conservation regulations.

Contaminants
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells.

As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, picks up chemicals and substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water
before we treat it include:
• Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, that may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.
• Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.
• Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agricultural, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses.
• Organic Chemical Contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals that are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, agricultural application and septic systems. • Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the SWRCB prescribe regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Department regulations also establish limits for contaminants in bottled water that must provide the same protection for public health.

Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 10 mg/L is a health risk for infants less than six months of age. Such nitrate levels in drinking water can interfere with the capacity of the infant’s blood to carry oxygen, resulting in a serious illness; symptoms include shortness of breath and blueness of the skin. Nitrate levels above 10 mg/L may also affect the ability of the blood to carry oxygen in other individuals, such as pregnant women, and those with certain specific enzyme deficiencies. If you are caring for an infant, or you are pregnant, you should ask advice from your health care provider.

Definitions
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. Primary MCLs are set as close to the PHGs (or MCLGs) as is economically and technologically feasible. Secondary MCLs are set to protect the odor, taste, and appearance of drinking water.

contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs are set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Public Health Goal (PHG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health.

PHGs are set by the California Environmental Protection Agency.

Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): The level of a disinfectant added for water treatment that may not be exceeded at the consumer’s tap.

Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): The level of a disinfectant added for water treatment below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs are set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City staff is proposing to Council a resolution to call for a special municipal election to amend the Gilroy City Charter relating to public works project bidding and notification provisions. These changes include the following:
1) Increasing the formal bidding threshold for public projects from $35,000 to be consistent with the California Public Contract Code.
2) Adding best value contracting as a procurement option. 3) Adding design-build contracting as a procurement option. 4) Modernizing the public noticing/bid solicitation rules in the Charter.

If approved, staff will submit the special municipal election resolution and ballot language for inclusion in, and consolidation with, the November 8, 2022 general election.

POLICY DISCUSSION
Should an amendment to the City of Gilroy’s (“City”) City Charter (“Charter”) be p laced on the November 8, 2022 general election ballot to consider amending the provisions related to the bid process for public project contracts and official advertisements in newspapers?

11.1 Packet Pg. 147

BACKGROUND
The City of Gilroy is a Charter City. In 1960 the community voted to adopt a Charter, which creates independent authorities and regulations on top of State law, instead of being a general law city which follows only the authorities and restrictions put into place by the State legislature.

The Charter grants authorities and imposes regulations across many areas of the City’s operations, encapsulated through 15 different articles in the Charter. One of these articles, Article 11 entitled “Fiscal Administration”, includes the bidding process for public projects in Section 1109, and official advertising in Section 1111.

The Charter was adopted in 1960. Section 1109 had a n amendment adopted on November 4, 1997. However, Section 1111 has not been updated since the original Charter adoption in 1960. During this time however, many technological enhancements have been made, procurement processes have been developed that are now best practices throughout the state and nation, and the costs of projects have increased greatly.

ANALYSIS
In brief, the changes being proposed are:
1) Increasing the formal bidding threshold for public projects from $35,000 to be consistent with the California Public Contract Code.
2) Adding best value contracting as a procurement option. 3) Adding design-build contracting as a procurement option. 4) Modernizing the public noticing/bid solicitation rules in the Charter.

Attached to this staff report is the proposed resolution, which has the proposed Charter amendment language as its Exhibit A.

The staff proposed ballot measure changes are discussed below. The following proposed changes relate to what is called Public Works Contracts by the Public Contract Code, but in the Charter has the specific term “public projects” for Section 1109, which means “…the construction or improvement of public buildings, works, drains, sewers, utilities, parks and streets (exclusive of projects for maintenance and repair of streets).”
Increasing the formal bidding threshold for public projects from $35,000 to be consistent with the California Public Contract Code
This section was amended from the 1960 charter to establish the cap before projects must be administered through formal bid at $35,000. The Charter originally referenced a section of the Government Code that at the time established a lower amount for public projects. That Government Code section no longer exists.

11.1 Packet Pg. 148

As time has passed and costs for capital projects have continued to increase significantly from year-to-year, the $35,000 cap for formal bidding is no longer appropriate. The California Public Contract Code allows cities to informally bid public projects that cost up to $200,000, with anything more than $200,000 requiring formal bidding procedures. The Charter amendment is intended to attain consistency with that allowed threshold for informal bidding.

The formal bidding process for public projects requires significant documentation and staff involvement across departments, including but not limited to: Public Works, Finance, City Attorney, Communications and Engagement, and others depending upon the specific nature of the public project being bid.

Procuring public works contracts for projects costing less than the threshold required for formal bidding can be accomplished by a streamlined informal bidding process, similar to other goods and services. Informal processes do not require the additional procedural steps of procurement involved in the formal bidding process, and can be modified by adopted policy of Council. For public projects under the "formal bidding" threshold, the City Code and adopted policies govern the procurement, so while the process does allow for informal bids, there are still appropriate checks and balances in place to ensure that competitive bids are received and that contractors follow important City policies.

Projects that cost $35,000 or less 25 years ago (such as replacing playground equipment in a neighborhood park, rehabilitating a small sanitary sewer, or building a small section of sidewalk) now cost significantly more to build. Increasing the procurement threshold in the City Charter would allow for increased efficiency, cost savings, and local/small business participation in the City’s public projects. The increased local/small business participation would be possible given the simpler requirements for contractors to bid on smaller cost public works projects. By using the Public Contract Code, the amount for informal bidding will be reviewed and potentially adjusted every five years to account for cost increases.

It is not the City's intent to use this increase to break larger projects up into smaller projects for the sole reason of getting them under this threshold as this would negate the time and cost savings achieved by using a more expedited bidding process and would also be prohibited under the City Charter. Additionally, City staff is prohibited from breaking larger projects into smaller ones to avoid the formal bidding process under the current purchasing policy.

Adding Best Value Contracting (BVC) as a procurement option The current formal bidding process involves selecting a public project contractor based exclusively on the lowest price. Unlike that process, BVC involves selecting a contractor on the basis of objective criteria to determine the best combination of price and qualifications. Allowing this as a procurement option for major public works contracts on complicated projects would provide staff with a valuable "tool in the toolbox."

11.1 Packet Pg. 149

The BVC procurement process is similar to the City's traditional formal bidding process for major public works contracts. Bids are solicited in substantially the same manner, and contractors submit to the City sealed bids with a price proposal - just as they do under the current process.

The difference is that bidders also submit experience and qualifications information to the City. The experience and qualifications information is evaluated by a panel, and the panel gives each bidder a "qualifications score" based on objective criteria. Importantly, the pricing information remains sealed until the panel completes its evaluation and scoring of the bidders. This ensures the panel's evaluations are not influenced by the pricing information.

Ultimately, the BVC procurement process involves the application of a formula in which the pricing information and qualifications score are used to select the cont ractor that will provide the best combination of price and qualifications.

On projects such as street repaving where the conditions are well known and there are several qualified contractors competing for work, the BVC process likely would not be necessary. However, on projects such as rehabilitating the storm water conveyance system (where contractors frequently must adapt in the field to new unknown conditions), having a selection process that looks at contractor experience, performance, and compliance would help ensure the overall performance of the project.

While this procurement process does take more time at the front -end than the traditional "low bid" process, when used appropriately, it is intended to save time on a project as it would increase the likelihood that on complicated projects the contractor most equipped to deliver the project is selected.

Adding Design-Build contracting as a procurement option The current standard bidding process requires separate contracts for different elements of the project. In the development of a public project, the City would have to contract with a designer to design engineered drawings and plans of a project. Once the design is complete, the City then has to competitively bid for a contractor to conduct the construction. The additional bid time can add three to six months, possibly more, to the timeframe to complete construction. Additionally, as the project is constructed, there can be conflicts between the designer and the contractor regarding construction and de sign, which can lead to administrative and operational challenges in completing the project, which can drive up costs and delay the project.

Design-Build is a form of contracting where the City would only have to bid a project with a contractor, which would form a team including a designer, and manage all subcontractors for design and construction. This potentially can save money and significant time on a project. A Design-Build contract may not be useful in all projects but having the option for the right projects can be essential to delivering a timely and cost-efficient project. The proposed amendment language would allow for Design-Build

11.1 Packet Pg. 150

contracting for public projects that cost $1 million or more and follow the California Public Contract Code for Design-Build competitive bidding.

Modernizing the public noticing/bid solicitation rules in the Charter Since 1960, major technological advances have shaped the manner in which governments and private enterprises conduct their business, including processes that are more transparent, efficient, and allow for larger broadcasting of bid opportunity advertisements. This includes the use of the internet, web portals, and electronic mail and distribution systems, none of which were available in 1960 when this Charter section was created.

The Charter's public projects contract procurement requirements include other provisions that need to be updated and modernized. One such provision is the requirement that bids be published in a "newspaper of general circulation in the City." Given the advent of technology to notify bidders, removing the requirement to advertise in a newspaper would create efficiencies in the process and allow additional time to be spent on more successful avenues to generate bid interest, as well as sav ing money currently spent on such advertisements.

The proposed language does not remove a newspaper of general circulation from being used but removes its use as a requirement for every formal bid. The language revision in Section 1109 adds electronic publication, publication in a trade journal, and use of a list of qualified contractors as additional options that may be used in -lieu of, or in addition to, a newspaper of general circulation.

Further, Section 1111 removes the daily requirement of a newspape r of general circulation, since no newspapers serving Gilroy publish every day of the week. It also removes the specific procurement process and replaces it with a reference to the City’s purchasing policy, which contains Council-approved provisions for procurement of services, and has greater responsiveness to updates with best practices, rather than a Charter amendment. As part of this change, the proposed ballot measure also amends Section 1503(h), the definition of “Newspaper of general circulation with in the City”, to be consistent with the changes made in Section 1111, but in the general provisions section of the Charter. The change modifies the definition to maintain the definition held by the California Government Code.

DISCUSSION OF RECOMMENDATIONS
Should Council determine to proceed with the proposed ballot measure, there are a few decisions that Council will need to make that would be incorporated into the resolution, and are so identified in the attached draft resolution. These include:

1. Preparation of an impartial analysis
As part of the California Elections Code, Section 9280, the City Council may direct the City Clerk to transmit a copy of the measure to the City Attorney for the

11.1 Packet Pg. 151

purposes of preparing an impartial analysis. If directed, this impa rtial analysis would be included in the Voters Sample Ballot that is sent to registered voters in the general election. The impartial analysis of the measure would discuss the effect of the measure on the existing law and the operation of the measure. Any such impartial analysis must include a statement indicating that the measure was placed on the ballot by the governing body of the City since it would be initiated by the City.

2. Argument in favor of the ballot measure
As part of the California Elections Code, Section 9282, the City Council may authorize any member(s) of the City Council to submit an argument in favor of the City’s ballot measure for inclusion in the Voters Sample Ballot. The argument would be capped at 300 words in length.

3. Rebuttal arguments
As part of the California Elections Code, Section 9285, the City Council may authorize the City Council or any member(s) of the City Council to submit a rebuttal argument in favor of the City measure for inclusion in the Voters Sample Ballot. Any arguments filed against the measure would be transmitted to the City, and the authorized Council or member(s) of Council for rebutting the argument shall have up to 250 words in rebuttal that would be published.

ALTERNATIVES
Council may amend or reject the resolution calling for the municipal election and the proposed ballot language. This is not recommended.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
For the November 2022 ballot, the costs of the election are partially defrayed from the existing ballots for the general election at the same time. The cost for adding this ballot measure to the November ballot is estimated to be $30,000. If the special municipal election is not consolidated, the cost would be greater. The final amount will be known once the ballots are produced, and the specific number of registered voters for this upcoming election in Gilroy are known. The funding would come from the City’s General Fund. If approved, a budget amendment to authorize the costs will be included in the upcoming mid-cycle budget adjustments packet.

CONCLUSION
The Charter’s sections relating to public works projects is outdated. Current best practices, technological advances, and construction costs necessitate updating the Charter to deliver infrastructure assets to the community in a t imely, cost-effective, transparent and efficient procurement process. These changes are not unique to the City, and are practices currently performed by other cities in California.

11.1 Packet Pg. 152

NEXT STEPS
If the City Council approves this item, staff will place the approved language on the November 8, 2022 general election ballot. Additional steps, including the City Attorney’s impartial analysis and the City’s arguments for the ballot measure, would then be undertaken shortly after Council approval of any ballot measure.

PUBLIC OUTREACH
No public outreach has been conducted for this item aside from the publicly posted agenda. There are limitations on what the City can do as it relates to public outreach for the ballot measure, if approved. The results of this Council meeting will be shared in the City’s e-newsletter. Any other public outreach regarding the potential ballot measure will be conducted in accordance with legal requirements and restrictions going forward, if approved.
