NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GILROY DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION I
The City Council finds that:

A. “The zoning map amendment conforms to the Gilroy General Plan.” The proposed R1 zone and density implement the Low Density General Plan land use designation, which primarily allows for single-family residential development.

B. “The project provides the type of development that will fill a specific need of the surrounding area.” The land use designation allows for single-family or duplex residential development at density of 3 to 8 units per acre. Residential rezoning to R1 single family is appropriate for this site as it will continue the existing single family residential neighborhood development pattern in the neighborhood, at a density of 6.1 units per net acre.

C. “The project will not require urban services beyond those that are currently available.” All utilities needed to serve the project are located adjacent to the property.

D. “The project reflects an economical and efficient pattern of land uses.” The project proposes an economical and efficient pattern of land uses by developing the full potential of the allowed density of the low density land use designation, and promotes an orderly pattern of development.

SECTION II
If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or otherwise void or invalid by any court o f competent jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance shall not be affected thereby.

SECTION III

Pursuant to section 608 of the Charter of the City of Gilroy, this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty (30) days from and after the date of its adoption.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Establishment of Application Fees for Flying a Commemorative Flag at City Hall
Meeting Date: August 15, 2022
From: Jimmy Forbis, City Administrator
Department: Administration
Submitted By: Jimmy Forbis, City Administrator
Prepared By: Bryce Atkins, Senior Management Analyst

 Develop a Financially
Resilient Organization

☐ Maintain and Improve
City Infrastructure

RECOMMENDATION

Council adopt the resolution to establish an application fee for flying commemorative flags at City Hall.

BACKGROUND

At the February 7, 2021 Regular Meeting of the City Council, Council adopted the amended and restated Flying Flags at City Facilities Policy. As part of that policy, Section V(a)(7) states that the application fee shall be determined and then updated and maintained as part of the master fee scheduled.

ANALYSIS

7.7 Packet Pg. 423

This item is to establish the fee amount for the first application period. The City’s current cost recovery ordinance establishes a 100% cost recovery rate for this program. The proposed fee is based on the fully burdened hourly rate s1 for the positions involved, and the number of hours for the work associated with review of the 150 signatures from the application, and the cost of the collection and review of applications by the Administration Department.

According to Council policy, should an applicant submit a request in successive years, signatures are not required in the second year, thus there are two fees to be established, one for years with signature verification and one without.

The basis for these two fee amounts is demonstrated below:

Application Fee with Signature Verification

Position Personnel Hours
Per Application
Fully Burdened Hourly
Rate Total
City Clerk 3.75 $140.65 $527.44
Management Analyst 0.25 $100.10 $25.03
Application Fee Amount with Signatures (rounded) $552.00

Application Fee without Signature Verification

Position Personnel Hours
Per Application
Fully Burdened Hourly
Rate Total
Management Analyst 0.25 $100.10 $25.03
Application Fee Amount without Signatures (rounded) $25.00

The costs for Public Works staff to raise and lower the flag without a ceremony is a minimal additional effort. However, any additional Public Works staff time for a flag raising during a ceremony will be collected as part of the Encroachment and/or Special Event Permit fees, based upon the plan for the ceremony, and how much time is approved for the employee to stay on-site during the ceremony until the flag has been raised.

ALTERNATIVES

Council may choose to approve, modify, or reject the proposed resolution establishing the fee.

1 The Fully Burdened Hourly Rates were adopted by the City Council in adopting the User Fee Update.

These rates include the employee’s compensation, but also the employer’s cost, and acceptable equipment, supplies, and oversight costs as permitted by law.

7.7 Packet Pg. 424

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE

A net neutral cost is anticipated, as the fee amounts should cover the full cost associated with processing the applications. Any costs associated with any proposed events will be recovered through those respective permit applications to have the events on City property.

CONCLUSION

Consistent with Council policy, the fee amount proposed would facilitate full cost recovery associated with the flying of commemorative flags per the City’s policies.

NEXT STEPS

If adopted, staff will include the fee amounts on the fee schedule, as well as the flag flying application. The fee amount will be adjusted annually consistent with the user fee schedule and policy direction of the Council.

PUBLIC OUTREACH

The item has been noticed on the publicly posted City Council Agenda. The user fee schedule that is publicly available shall incorporate the new fee. The fee amount will be included on the application and outreach material with the opening of the application period for commemorative flags to be flown in the 2023 calendar year.

FRONT FOOT CHARGES (Used to charge and reimburse fees for existing infrastructure) The Half Pipe schedule is used to determine the front footage reimbursement to former developers for infrastructure previously installed along the front footage of the development.

The Full Pipe schedule is used to determine the oversizing reimbursement to the developer for installing water, sewer, and storm main extensions to sizes required by each master plan that are greater than the sizes required by the development. The oversized portion is the difference between the master planned size for the main and the greater of the main size required by the development or the developer's minimum responsibility for each main.

I. INTRODUCTION
The Community Rating System (CRS) is a voluntary program of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The CRS program allows communities to earn flood insurance premium discounts for their residents and businesses by implementing local mitigation, floodplain management, and outreach activities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements to reduce the risk of flooding.

In Santa Clara County, 11 (eleven) communities have been active participants in the FEMA NFIP CRS for over 30 years.

The CRS participating communities are City of Cupertino, City of Gilroy, City of Los Altos, City of Milpitas, City of Morgan Hill, City of Mountain View, City of Palo Alto, City of San Jose, City of Santa Clara, City of Sunnyvale, and the Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water).

CRS participating communities, along with their external non-governmental stakeholders, non- participating communities: City of Saratoga, Town of Los Altos Hills, Town of Los Gatos, and County of Santa Clara who opted to join the 2021 Program for Public Information (PPI), comprise the PPI Committee. The PPI Committee is listed in Table 1. Members of the Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional 2021 PPI Committee of the 2021 PPI. (Attachment #1) FEMA requires that each community participating in the PPI provide at least two representatives to the regional PPI Committee, with at least half of the representatives from outside the local government.

Additionally, at least half of the representatives must attend all the meetings of the regional PPI Committee.

An important benefit of the PPI Committee’s work is close collaboration between local public agency staff who work on flood protection throughout Santa Clara County. Together, PPI Committee members continue strengthening their individual CRS programs and ensuring communities can evaluate their flood programs against a nationally recognized benchmark.

The 2021 PPI Committee, along with the remaining non-participating communities (City of Campbell and City of Monte Sereno), and other interested parties, make up the Santa Clara County CRS Users Group.

The Santa Clara County CRS Users Group collaborates to ensure floodplain management activities provide enhanced public safety, reduced damage to property and public infrastructure, and avoidance of economic disruption and loss in Santa Clara County. Through the 5-year PPI development and the annual reporting process, members of the SC County CRS Users Group learn from one another about local floodplain management activities, including flood protection and land use issues. For both the Santa Clara County CRS Users Group and the PPI Committee, the PPI is one of the most impactful activities of the CRS Program.

Under the CRS program, flood insurance premium rates are discounted to reward CRS participating community actions that meet the three goals of the CRS: (1) reduce flood damage to insurable property; (2) strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP; and (3) encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management .

Flood insurance premiums for participating CRS communities are reduced in 5% increments for every 500 CRS points earned. As of April 30, 2022, the total savings for Santa Clara County residents from CRS discounts is approximately $2 million.

Valley Water is the lead flood risk reduction agency for Santa Clara County. Valley Water performs many flood preparedness outreach and stream stewardship/maintenance activities that earn CRS points for participating communities. Since Valley Water is not a land-use agency, the points Valley Water earns, as a fictitious community, provide a foundation upon which the CRS participating communities can build. FEMA approved this unique arrangement with Valley Water in 1998.

The CRS Coordinator’s Manual, 2013 Edition, included the option to undertake a Program for Public Information (PPI) which is a method to customize flood risk and loss reduction outreach messages and increase CRS points. Each participant of the PPI Committee brings unique perspectives and suggestions that enhance the PPI. Each community must adopt the PPI through a formal vote by the community’s governing body.

In 2013, Valley Water initiated and facilitated the effort to develop the first Multi-Jurisdictional PPI so that all Santa Clara County CRS participating communities could work together and benefit from this activity. Non-participating communities were also invited to participate in the development of the PPI.

This work effort resulted in the 2015 Multi-Jurisdiction PPI (2015 PPI).

On April 14, 2015, Valley Water’s Board adopted the 2015 PPI, which sunset in April 2020. Following Valley Water’s lead, the other CRS participating communities’ governing bodies adopted the 2015 PPI soon thereafter.

Under the CRS, the PPI must be updated every 5-years. Each subsequent year after adopting the PPI, the committee must submit an Annual Evaluation Report to FEMA describing the PPI implementation for the prior fiscal year. The PPI Committee must evaluate whether the flood risk reduction messages in the PPI are still relevant and adjust the PPI, if needed. The Annual Evaluation Report is shared with each participating community’s governing body as an informational item.

As required, Annual Evaluation Reports for FY16 (Year 1) through FY19 (Year 4) for the 2015 PPI were prepared, sent to the governing body, and included in annual recertifications.

FY20 (Year 5), the PPI Committee was required to update the 2015 PPI. The Insurance Services Office (ISO), FEMA’s CRS management contractor, exempted the committee from submitting an Annual Evaluation Report for FY20 (Year 5) as the committee focused on updating the 2015 PPI.

In February 2020, Valley Water hosted the start of the 5-year PPI process. Fifteen Santa Clara County communities worked together to update the 2015 PPI. These communities included the current eleven CRS participating communities as well as four non-participating communities that expressed interest in joining the CRS. Staff and external stakeholders from each community participated in developing the new PPI.

In March 2020, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak started. The California State Emergency Services Act, the Governor’s Emergency Declaration related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Governor’s Executive Order N-29-20, and Order of the County of Santa Clara Public Health Officer dated March 16, 2020, went into effect.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused far-reaching, unprecedented changes. Businesses and organizations faced economic and operational uncertainty across every industry and sector. The workforce impacts during COVID-19 caused delays beyond control, including the PPI Committee’s ability to continue its work of updating the 2015 PPI. Many communities shifted priorities to respond to the public health crisis; therefore, FEMA provided an extension of completing the update to the 2015 PPI to early 2021.

The PPI Committee reconvened in October 2020 to resume the PPI update. Several virtual meetings followed until the PPI Committee completed the 2021 PPI in April 2021. The 2021 PPI was adopted by participating communities, as indicated in Table 1. Dates 2021 PPI Adopted.

II. 2021 PPI DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Valley Water, along with the CRS participating and non-participating communities, initiated the 2021 PPI process in February 2020. The Santa Clara County 2021 Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information document was completed in April 2021 (refer to Section I. Introduction for COVID-19 related delays).

Virtual meetings were held between 2020 and 2021 to develop the 2021 PPI. In addition to FEMA’s six priority topic messages, three additional messages below were identified as important for Santa Clara County. See Table 3 in the 2021 PPI: CRS Priority Messages for the complete list.

I. Encourage residents and workers to make a personal Family Emergency Plan.

II. Ask residents to download disaster apps; and
III. Urge drivers to slow down on wet roads and avoid driving through ponded water to reduce traffic accidents.

The PPI Committee worked between the meetings to draft the 2021 PPI and review the extensive list of outreach and flood response projects. (Attachment 2, which is Appendix A of the 2021 PPI) Based on the PPI Committee’s evaluation of the 2015 PPI, the consensus was that most of the 2015 PPI flood risk reduction messages were still relevant, so only minor edits were incorporated as needed. This became the basis for the 2021 PPI; therefore, no additional FEMA review was required, as the 2015 PPI already ensured its provisions were fully compliant with FEMA requirements.

The number of CRS points that the 2021 PPI activities will earn is determined by FEMA’s CRS Specialist and Technical Reviewers in the Insurance Services Office (ISO). The PPI Committee estimates that of the possible 350 points, participating communities could earn up to 300+/- points per participating community for the PPI efforts.

Once Valley Water approved the 2021 PPI (5-Year Plan), the final document was provided to the PPI Committee to present to their government bodies for adoption and implementation.

Table 1. Dates of PPI Adoption shows the 2021 PPI approval dates by agency (Community).

III. ANNUAL EVALUATION REPORTS
The 2021 PPI states that the PPI Committee will meet at least once yearly to evaluate the PPI and incorporate any needed revisions. This meeting is coordinated in conjunction with the ongoing CRS User’s Group meetings, which occur at least twice a year.

The evaluation will cover:

Ɣ Reviewing projects that were completed.

Ɣ Evaluation of progress toward outcomes.

Ɣ Recommendations on projects that have not been completed.

Ɣ Recommendations for new projects not previously identified.

Ɣ Target Audience changes; and
Ɣ Impact of the program during a real flood event if one has occurred.

The Annual Evaluation Report is prepared by the PPI Committee for submission with each CRS community’s annual CRS recertification package (or schedule 5-year cycle visits). The report is then shared with each CRS participating community’s governing body as an informational item. 14 7.8.a

IV. 2021 PPI ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR FY22
The PPI Committee identified three efforts needed from each CRS participating community for the 2021 PPI and to prepare and finalize subsequent Annual Evaluation Reports.

1. Governing bodies must adopt the 2021 PPI (Table 1. Dates 2021 PPI Adopted). The PPI Committee must prepare Annual Evaluation Reports and share the reports with its governing body as informational items.

2. For each fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) the communities must carry out and monitor the implementation of the outreach/flood response projects identified in Attachment A CRS Creditable Outreach and Flood Response Projects by CRS Community of the 2021 PPI. (Attachment 2)

3. The PPI Committee must review and consider the ‘New Initiatives’ identified in the 2021 PPI (page 66) for advancing flood risk reduction efforts.

Governing Bodies Approval: Including Valley Water, all 11 CRS participating communities’ governing bodies adopted the 2021 PPI by the end of FY22. The approval dates are shown by agency (Community) in Table 1. Dates of 2021 PPI Adopted noted above. 15 7.8.a

Santa Clara County 2021 Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information Annual Evaluation Report for FY22 (Year 1: July 2021 to June 2022) 6 of 14
Tracking System: The 2021 PPI is multi-jurisdictional and includes 15 agencies (11 CRS participating communities and four non-participating communities). Tracking implementation is quite complex compared to a single-agency PPI. As the informal lead, Valley Water continues to oversee the record-keeping to ensure consistency throughout the county. An electronic file-sharing system, Egnyte, is set up with folders for each community to file and share documents related to the 109 potential outreach/flood response projects identified in the 2021 PPI, and all CRS-related documentation. This also includes a comprehensive spreadsheet tracking which projects were accomplished in any given fiscal year, by the individual communities. This spreadsheet, along with the Annual Evaluation Report, will be submitted with annual CRS recertifications or a part of scheduled 5-year cycle visits.

Insurance Services Office (ISO) assigns credit for Valley Water outreach/flood response projects to all Santa Clara County CRS participating communities’ ratings. Some communities also choose to carry out and report on their own outreach/flood response projects, in addition to those of Valley Water.

These projects are shown on the composite spreadsheet and include input from each agency.

The PPI Committee discussed the benefits of using the Egnyte shared-filing system for tracking the 2021 PPI outreach/flood response projects and all CRS-related documentation. The PPI Committee also discussed the importance of ensuring each agency uploads their CRS documentation regularly. These benefits are:
-Information Share/Knowledge Transfer: CRS participating communities can view each other’s program documentation. When a community improves its CRS rating, another community can access the documents submitted to determine how the CRS credited activities helped improve the score.
-Document Repository: A central location for CRS-related documentation, organized to mirror the CRS Coordinator’s Manual (by community/activity/element) proves helpful when a community experiences staff turnover.
- Documentation Submittals: CRS documents are organized and easy to share with the CRS Specialists conducting cycle visits and/or annual recertification.

These numbers go well beyond the minimum requirements of the CRS Program, and we anticipate all CRS participating communities will receive the maximum number of credits for our collective efforts in FY22.

It is important to note that most public events in 2020 through 2022 were heavily impacted or canceled due to shelter-in-place orders and the COVID-19 pandemic. Those events that were not canceled were often redesigned for virtual participation or smaller, socially distanced groups.

Valley Water’s Outreach/Flood Response Projects
Annual Flood Awareness Campaign
Valley Water's FY22 Flood Awareness Campaign theme was "Flooding Can Happen During a Drought." It launched after the 1Fourth National Climate Assessment was published; there could not have been a better time to have this conversation. The federal report assessed that intense extreme weather and climate-related events are becoming more frequent and will have catastrophic impacts on vulnerable communities, infrastructure, ecosystems, and our economy. Extreme storm events could result in more frequent and severe flooding in our region. Valley Water’s message emphasized its commitment to reducing flood risks and protecting the community but acknowledging we cannot eliminate all risks.

Thus, our communities must adapt and prepare; and it starts with being informed and aware of risks.

An educational paid advertising campaign supplemented Valley Water’s community outreach effort.

This year, its advertising campaign was supported by a series of formative research to understand target audiences, their awareness levels, and explore what educational messages and images most appealed to them.

The Flood Awareness Campaign lasted four months, from mid-November 2021 to February 2022. The paid advertisement campaign cost a total of $200,000.

Valley Water’s FY22 Annual Flood Awareness Campaign shifted from general digital and public space advertising to a series of direct mailings to the 52,000 homes and businesses in Santa Clara County's FEMA SFHA.

Valley Water sent three separate targeted mailers to all homes and businesses in or near a high-risk flood area, as designated by the FEMA SHFA. The mailers were multilingual (English, Spanish, Chinese, and Vietnamese) and are posted on Valley Water’s website.

1. Annual Floodplain Mailer
54,790 mailed on December 13-14, 2021
4,450 delivered to cities/county (Public Works and Planning Departments ) between December 2021 – February 1, 2022

2. Multilingual Postcards with 9 CRS tips and links to flood preparedness webpages 52,502 mailed on October 29, 2021

3. “You Live in a Flood Zone–Do You Know What to Do Before, During, and After a Flood?” Trifold. 54,790 mailed on January 11, 2022
1 US Global Change Resource Program (USGCRP) has a legal mandate to conduct a state-of-the-science synthesis of climate impacts and trends across U.S. regions and sectors every four years, known as the National Climate Assessment (NCA).

During FY22, Santa Clara County experienced a drought emergency. Valley Water’s annual Floodplain Mailer reminded everyone that flooding can happen anytime it rains, and that climate change has made extreme weather the new normal. Drought conditions can harden the ground and increase run-off to streams and creeks during the first few days of heavy rain, increasing the risk of flooding. In addition, the flood mailer showcased Valley Water's ongoing flood protection projects in areas susceptible to flooding.

In FY22, the mailer featured QR codes, a magnet with important flood safety websites, a detachable emergency phone list, and photos of our most recent flood protection projects.

The direct mailing strategy was developed after the 2020-2021 post-Flood Awareness Campaign poll which indicated that only 29% of FEMA SFHA residents remembered receiving the annual Floodplain Mailer, while recollection of other broad advertising efforts hovered lower. The outreach shift from advertising to targeted mailings resulted in substantial savings while proving much more effective.

Valley Water also deployed a small-scale multilingual social media campaign, with the slogan "Flooding can happen during a drought," on social media and the web platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Google Ads, El Observador, Cali Today, and News for Chinese. The campaign launched in Winter FY22, starting with the season's first rains in December 2021 and continuing through January 2022.

Digital ads targeted residents and commuters in or near the SFHA, using zip codes from published FEMA flood maps.

A key strategy for the paid campaign was incorporating all 2021 PPI messages in Valley Water ads.

Staff crafted messages derived from Valley Water's annual Floodplain Mailer to residents in the SFHA.

Additionally, the Valley Water Board of Directors shared posts on Nextdoor highlighting the "Flooding can happen during a drought" messaging and the nine CRS topics in Winter 2021. Valley Water posted a flood preparedness blog on its website in November 2021 and a digital copy of the Floodplain Mailer.

Campaign Results
Valley Water also used its monthly newsletter, news blog, and social media profiles to enhance flood awareness efforts before and during forecasted storms starting as early as September. During the length of the campaign and leading up to anticipated storm events, Valley Water posted flash flood warnings, shared posts with critical messages about flood safety, and promoted the Flood Watch Tool throughout the winter.

Valley Water’s flood protection resources page at ValleyWater.org/floodready serves as a hub of flood safety information with icons leading to a series of related web pages, including information on flood zone maps, signing up for emergency alerts, sandbags, reporting local flooding, and safety tips.

Of these subpages, the flood zone awareness page was the most accessed, which features a brief explanation for determining if a home is in a FEMA-designated flood zone. It also features an instructional YouTube tutorial for using FEMA's Map Service and a reminder that flooding can happen anytime it rains.

All communities were requested to add a link redirecting visitors to ValleyWater.org/floodready, floodsmart.gov, and ready.gov from their respective flood protection resource pages or homepage.

All Santa Clara County communities received hard copies of Valley Water's Floodplain Mailer.

Valley Water shared a “Flood Follows Drought 2021-22 Flood Awareness Campaign Media Toolkit" with the CRS communities. The toolkit provided links to the multilingual floodplain mailer, social media graphics, messages for all nine flood awareness tips (PPI CRS message topics), and blog posts for all Santa Clara County communities to use.

The 2021-2022 post-Flood Awareness Campaign survey found:
භ 59% recalled receiving mail with information about flood safety (29% in 2020-21). භ 76% are confident they have taken all necessary precautions to protect themselves from floods (64% in 2020-21).
භ 61% rate the job Valley Water is doing at keeping them informed as excellent, good, or fair (32% in 2020-21).
භ 10% increase in food zone awareness over last year (now at 50-60% awareness). භ 32% increase in recall of flood mailings vs. last year (now at 59% reach) with good recall amongst Spanish, Mandarin, and Vietnamese speakers.
භ 58% of respondents clearly understood Valley Water’s three main calls to action (find your risk, get flood insurance, develop a plan).
භ 12% increase in respondents who believe they have taken all steps to be ready for a flood (now at 76%).
භ 11% increase in respondents who have flood insurance (now at 51%). භ 100% of high-risk residents in mobile home parks are aware of our messaging.

The results above demonstrate an effective campaign that is less expensive than general advertising, yielding a savings of approximately $150,000 with more robust results. In the future, direct mailings to the FEMA SFHA seem to be an alternative outreach strategy for the flood awareness campaign rather than targeted advertising.

Valley Water discussed the new targeted mail approach with the PPI Committee and the Insurance Services Office (ISO). All agreed with this strategy.

Valley Water Education Outreach Program
Valley Water’s Education Outreach includes flood awareness messaging in every program presented year-round. A dedicated flood-focused program is offered from October through April, depending on the rainfall situation on any given year.

Valley Water’s role as a flood protection agency is highlighted in all presentations, so that participants in the Education Outreach Programs know that flood protection is one of Valley Water’s core objectives in Santa Clara County.

The following are the Education Outreach efforts from October 2021 – March 2022.

CRS Participating Communities Outreach/Flood Response Projects The PPI Committee identified the outreach/flood response projects for each community. The implementation of these projects is reflected in the FY 2022 ‘Project Accomplishments’ column of Attachment 2.

V. 2022 SANTA CLARA COUNTY CRS USERS GROUP/PPI COMMITTEE MEETINGS – MONITORING AND EVALUATING THE 2021 PPI
Santa Clara County CRS Users Group/PPI Committee meetings were held on March 10, 2022, and May 19, 2022. Agenda and attendance sheets for each meeting are included. (Attachments 3-6) Attendance was good at both meetings and quorum was met with staff from the eleven CRS participating communities. Staff from some non-participating communities, external stakeholders, and other interested parties were also in attendance.

As required by CRS, the objective for the March and May meetings was to monitor the implementation of the 2021 PPI and to determine if the desired outcomes were achieved, as well to discuss if any changes to the 2021 PPI were needed to complete this Annual Evaluation Report. The PPI Committee agreed that the 2021 PPI messaging and projects would remain the same for the duration of the 2021 PPI, which sunsets in 2026.

At the March 10, 2022 meeting, a draft Project Accomplishment PPI Annual Evaluation Report for FY22 was shared with the communities to review.

The PPI Committee:
භ Assessed whether the desired outcomes of the 2021 PPI were achieved in FY22, and what, if anything, should be changed.
භ Discussed which communities have adopted the 2021 PPI and that conformed/enacted copy of their agenda items related to submitting the 2021 PPI to their respective governing bodies should be uploaded into Egnyte and a copy sent to Valley Water. භ Provided instruction on how communities will submit updates to Appendix A of the 2021 PPI to Valley Water for consolidating report.
භ Communities were informed that all updates were due by the next CRS Users Group Meeting or sooner.

An ISO CRS Specialist shared best practices for Verification Cycle Visits. The specialist also reviewed updated/new/modified prerequisites for CRS Classes 6, 8, and 9, per the Addendum to the 2017 CRS Coordinator’s Manual (Edition 2021) which went into effect January 1, 2021.

Lastly, to comply with CRS Activity 350 - Flood Protection Information, Element c). Flood Protection Website, from the CRS Coordinator's Manual, CRS participating communities were reminded to ensure to review their flood information landing page monthly, to verify all links are valid and annually, to ensure content is still relevant and current.

At the May 19, 2022 meeting, the PPI Committee discussed the 2021 PPI Annual Evaluation Report for FY22, reminding the group that the report will be due during scheduled 5-year cycle visits (for Cities of Gilroy and Morgan Hill) or as part of communities’ annual CRS recertification package which are due on August 1, 2022.

Valley Water Communications staff presented an overview of the 2021-2022 Flood Awareness Campaign, including the Floodplain Mailer that was mailed in December 2021 to all addresses in the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), as well as to city/town/county managers, public works and planning directors, and the communities’ CRS staff.

Additionally, Valley Water Communications staff also shared the FY22 post-campaign polling results with results. Valley and the PPI Committee determined that future flood awareness campaigns have an opportunity for expanded outreach to renters of both single-family homes and multi-family units, as well as providing localized historical flood information and outreach materials in public spaces.

Valley Water CRS staff shared information on the Department of Water Resources (DWR) statewide agency coordination calls scheduled to begin by July 2022. The DWR calls lead up to the 2022 California Flood Preparedness Week (CFPW) that is held annually each October (s pecific dates for October 2022 to be announced). We shared Valley Water's experience in participating on these calls, including the benefits of learning about CFPW, ways to participate, setting up lobby displays for the public, and how to access available resources for public events.

All communities were strongly encouraged to participate this year, including presenting a Resolution (Valley Water’s template available, upon request) to their respective city councils to adopt CFPW, and to forward the information to their communication and emergency service teams. 22 7.8.a

We also discussed Valley Water’s plan to provide all communities with ‘emergency starter kits’ and ‘flood event kits’ for their use as plans to recommence booth support at various city-hosted events, safety fairs, etc. These resources will ensure our messaging and information on how to ‘Get Flood Ready’ is uniformed throughout the county.

The consensus of the PPI Committee is that our 2021 PPI implementation is on target and that no changes are needed. Cities who have had the PPI approved by their elected officials reported receiving strong support.

This Annual Evaluation Report is the first report for the 2021 PPI to document our outreach project activities.

VI. FUTURE MESSAGING – Other New Initiatives
The PPI committee identified several new initiatives:

1. Continue and expand the standardized flood message prepared for each community to include flood messages in utility bills yearly, including PG&E.

2. Expand on partnerships with local chambers of commerce to disseminate and share flood preparedness information.

3. Expand on outreach to the Asian and Latino communities who live in flood-prone areas.

4. Expand on outreach to “hot spot” flood-prone areas by hosting on-site or virtual events.

5. Expand on reaching local homeowners associations (HOA)s and apartment associations (i.e., Executive Council of Homeowners [ECHO]).

6. Expand on reaching residents in marginal and low-income communities through partnering with organizations that reach these communities (i.e., Second Harvest Food Bank and others).

7. Communities could pursue FEMA Matching Funds Grants for severe Repetitive Loss Areas.

8. Review and expand other public information activities, such as Flood Protection Assistance (Activity 360) and Flood Insurance Promotion (Activity 370).

9. Develop a region-wide Flood Response Preparations (FRP) messaging plan.

The messages that the PPI Committee originally chose are still relevant to Santa Clara County. The committee will continue to increase its efforts to encourage people to prepare personal/family emergency plans and be flood-ready. This will be incorporated into the flood preparedness outreach that is done every fall. The PPI Committee will also continue coordinating efforts with the Valley Water’s Education Outreach Program to promote flood preparedness in local schools.

The PPI Committee recommends continued use of social media for messaging. Mobile usage among individuals has increased exponentially over the years and online platforms are rapidly adjusting to mobile-friendly standards. This provides an excellent opportunity to modernize campaign ad efforts by utilizing social media and digital advertising to increase exposure and reach a greater number of residents in Santa Clara County. Furthermore, these modern advertising methods allow for specialized demographic targeting to allow reaching a narrow and defined audience, improving the ability to effectively reach vulnerable populations.

In support of our preparedness messaging, the PPI Committee will continue to promote the importance of having family emergency plans and emergency kits ready to go before an emergency/flood event occurs.

In October 2021, Valley Water partnered with Second Harvest Food Bank of Silicon Valley, to distribute 2,000 emergency preparedness starter kits of emergency supplies to underserved communities.

The PPI Committee will continue to promote the American Red Cross All-Hazard App which monitors alerts for severe weather, including floods, and the Floodsmart.gov and Ready.gov websites. The communities will distribute American Red Cross Emergency Contact Cards at events throu ghout the county.

VII. CONCLUSION
Overall, the CRS Users Group/PPI Committee successfully implemented the 2021 PPI in FY22. The 2021 PPI allowed participating communities to mutually decide which flood risk reduction messages are most appropriate and identified means by which messages are delivered. The objectives of participating in the 2021 PPI are to enhance the effectiveness of the flood risk messages to residents, reduce flood risks within the county, and earn valuable CRS credit points when identified projects are implemented by communities.

The CRS Users Group/PPI Committee will continue their work efforts through FY23. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Attachments for submission to Valley Water Board, City Councils/Managers, and FEMA as part of 2022 Verification/Recertification Package, as required:

Valley Water: In addition to social media outreach, in lieu of a Flood Awareness Campaign, Valley Water mailed out
3 targeted pieces to addresses in the SFHA. All outreach projects included the 9 CRS topics and were
multilanguage.

1. FPM – 60,790 were printed; 4,450 were given to the
cities/county (Public Works and Planning Departments)
between December 2021 – February 1, 2022; 54,790
were mailed on December 13-14, 2021; The FPM is
posted on Valley Water’s website

2. Postcard – 55,000 were printed; 52,502 were mailed on 10/29/21 (need soft copy of postcard)

3. “You Live in a Flood Zone – Do You Know What to Do
Before, During, and After a Flood?” trifold: 54,790
mailed on January 11, 2022
We received the results of the 2021-22 Flood Awareness
Probolsky Poll. The results below point to an effective campaign that was less expensive than general
advertising, yielding a savings of about $150,000 with
stronger results. Going forward, direct mailings to the FEMA SFHA seem to be a good outreach strategy for the
flood awareness campaign vs. targeted advertising.

Some highlights:
භ 28% increase in those who believe that Valley Water
is doing an excellent job in keeping them informed
of a flood (now 87% believe we do an excellent,
good or fair job).
භ 10% increase in food zone awareness over last year
(now at 50-60% awareness).
භ 32% increase in recall of flood mailings vs. last year (now at 59% reach) with good recall amongst
Spanish, Mandarin and Vietnamese speakers.
භ 58% of respondents clearly understood our 3 main
calls to action (find your risk, get flood insurance,
develop a plan).
භ 12% increase in respondents who believe they have
taken all steps to be ready for a flood (now at 76%).
භ 11% increase in respondents who have flood
insurance (now at 51%).
භ 64% Believe home is prepared for a flood (100% of
Chinese, 75% of Vietnamese believe they are ready).
භ 100% of high-risk residents in mobile home parks are
aware of our messaging.

RECOMMENDATION

Approve the Purchase of Five (5) Dodge Durango Police Pursuit Vehicles in the Amount of $276,825.55 from MY Jeep-Chrysler-Dodge-Ram Utilizing Alameda County Tag-On Bid Process and Authorize the City Administrator to Execute All Necessary Purchase Documents.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

7.9 Packet Pg. 491

Consistent with the adopted budget for FY 22 and FY 23, the Fleet Division budgeted for six police pursuit vehicles to replace aging vehicles in the City’s fleet. One vehicle was purchased in FY 22 and is being prepared for deployment. The remaining five vehicles had not been purchased due to lack of available vehicles primarily impacted by the chip shortage and Covid. Staff recently received notification of a short window to place an order for five 2023 police pursuit vehicles under a tag-on bid process issued by Alameda County. If the City does not act quickly to place the order, all of the 2023 police pursuit vehicles will be taken by other departments and it will be difficult to secure vehicles later in the year.

BACKGROUND

The City has not purchased any new police pursuit vehicles since FY 19. Gilroy’s police pursuit vehicles are heavily utilized and experience significant wear and tear. The Fleet Division services and repairs police vehicles to keep vehicles in a safe condition and ready for the high use deployment, however, the vehicles reach a point where they need to be replaced hence the budgeted vehicle replacements for FY 22 and FY 23.

Due to the limited availability of police pursuit vehicles at this time, staff researched the available cooperative bidding processes available to local government agencies like Gilroy to take advantage of purchasing power to get the most competitive pricing. In the course of this research, the City identified the tag-on bid available through the County of Alameda (Master Contract Number 902035). This tag-on bid was utilized for the single police vehicle purchased in FY 22 which allowed the Police Department to obtain a needed vehicle at a competitive price negotiated through the tag -on bid process. Any dealer can compete in the competitive bid process; however, a very competitive pricing structure must be included for a dealer to be awarded the bid. Dealers will offer very competitive pricing to focus on volume sales. MY Jeep-Chrysler-Dodge-Ram in Salinas was awarded the Alameda County bid following a competitive bidding process.

Staff did reach out to a local Gilroy dealership to see if similar pricing could be obtained, but at the time the dealer could not place orders for the vehicles needed. Since that time, the dealer has not contacted us with vehicle availability or updated pricing. Given the short window of time for orders to be placed to secure 2023 police pursuit vehicles, the best option is to take advantage of the Alameda County tag -on bid with a Salinas dealership in our region.

ANALYSIS

Police personnel that utilize the police pursuit vehicles on a daily basis developed specifications for the vehicles needed. The purchase will be for five 2023 Dodge Durango Pursuit vehicles. The cost per vehicle is $55,365.11 for a tota l expenditure of $276,825.55. The profit mark-up is a very competitive $2,500 per vehicle. Working with the Government Sales Manager at MY Jeep-Chrysler-Dodge-Ram in Salinas, an order for the five vehicles is now pending Council approval.

7.9 Packet Pg. 492

Due to the current limited inventory of police pursuit vehicles and the competitive pricing structure, other affordable alternatives are not feasible at this time.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE

A total of $481,000 is budgeted for six PD vehicle purchases in the adopted F Y 22 and FY 23 budget that was approved by Council in June 2021. As mentioned above, only one vehicle has been purchased thus far. As part of the mid -cycle budget adjustments staff will be asking to carry-forward the unspent FY22 fleet replacement budget to FY23.

As such, if approved, the purchase of these vehicles will be charged to the Fleet Fund in the amount of $276,825.55.

NEXT STEPS

With Council’s approval, staff will move forward with the purchase of the police pursuit vehicles. At this time, we do not have a firm delivery date, however, we estimate receipt of the vehicles in about six months. Once the vehicles are received, inspected, and accepted, the vehicles are outfitted for the Gilroy Police Department use and deployed in the field.

a) Adopt a resolution of the City Council of the City of Gilroy amending the budget for the City of Gilroy for Fiscal Year 2022 -2023 and appropriating proposed expenditure amendments.

b) Award a contract to CSG Consultants in the amount of $343,240 with a project contingency of $34,760 (approximately 10%) for the design of the Gourmet Alley and Railroad Alley Pedestrian and Bicycle Beautification Improvements Project, No. 22-RFP-PW-478 and authorize the City Administrator to execute the contract and

8.1 Packet Pg. 497

associated documents.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Department of Public Works requires the assistance of consultants for engineering and design support services for the Gourmet Alley and Railroad Alley Pedestrian and Bicycle Beautification Improvements Project.

Staff solicited a Request for Proposal (RFP) for On -Call Engineering and Design Support Services. Staff recommends proceeding with CSG Consultants, the only firm that submitted a proposal to provide these services.

Staff is proposing Council adopt a resolution to amend the budget for fiscal year 2022-2023 and increase appropriations in Fund 487 (Downtown Beautification) by $343,240 plus $34,760 as contingency, approximately 10%, for a total of $378,000 too fully fund the design of the project.

BACKGROUND

The City of Gilroy was awarded a $3.9 million grant in March of 2022 from the California Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”) Clean California Local Grant Program. The grant is for cleanup events and infrastructure improvements along Gourmet Alley and Railroad Alley.

The grant will transform these important alleyways into clean, well-lit, walkable corridors that connect the public to both the city’s main transit center and the City Cultural Arts Center. The spaces will be beautified by paving the alleys with marked paths for walkers and bikers, adding shade, benches, wayfinding signage and waste and recycling receptacles becoming a source of community pride.

The project’s scope of work includes the development of Plans, Specifications, and Engineer’s Estimate (PS&E) to provide infrastructure improvements funded by the grant that include lighting, landscape, and surface improvements. Additional scope provided upon request includes Project Management, Bid Support Services, and Construction Support Services.

ANALYSIS

On July 8, 2022, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for on-call engineering and design support services to eleven (11) prospective consultants on the approved list. Out of the eleven prospective consultants, only o ne proposal was received from CSG Consultants. Staff speculates that only one proposal was received due to the short advertisement period of two weeks. This was done to expedite the project design in order to meet the project’s grant timelines. Based on staff’s review of qualifications, experiences, and cost proposal, staff recommends that the City Council award the contract to CSG Consultants in the amount of $343,240 plus $34,760 as contingency,

8.1 Packet Pg. 498

approximately 10%, for a total amount of $378,000. CSG Consultants has been the City’s contractor providing staff augmentation services in the past for the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and currently for on-call engineering plan review services; staff has been pleased with CSG’s performance over the years.

ALTERNATIVES

City Council can reject the award of this contract with CSG Consultants. Staff does not recommend this option as it could jeopardize the grant funds and delay the project.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE

The total proposal from CSG Consultants is $343,240 with optional services included.

Staff recommends including $34,760 as contingency, approximately 10%, addressing unforeseen issues that may arise during the design process, for a total design allocation of $378,000. The actual cost of the construction for the project will be determined through a competitive construction bid process.

Staff will invoice Caltrans for a reimbursement in grant funds for the design costs as they are incurred. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to amend the budget for Fiscal Year 2022-2023, increasing appropriations in Fund 487 (Downtown Beautification) for the full amount of the grant award, $3,960,765.

CONCLUSION

Staff recommends that City Council approve the award of a contract with CSG Consultants for the design of the Gourmet Alley and Railroad Alley Pedestrian and Bicycle Beautification Improvements Project and authorize the City Administrator to execute the contract and associated documents.

NEXT STEPS

Upon Council’s approval, the contract will be executed, and staff will work with the consultant to develop a final design schedule to begin design activities in August 2022.

During this meeting, specifics concerning project funding, public outreach, design parameters, and other relevant details will take place.

CSG will continue to set up, manage the project, submit monthly invoices, and provide continuous coordination. CSG will be responsible for coordination with clear and consistent communication with the City and subconsultants to discuss the progress of the design. Throughout the entire project, CSG’s Project Manager will act as the single point of contact to coordinate the project with the City.

Task Deliverables: Schedule Updates, Invoices, Meeting Minutes

TASK 2 Data Collection and Design Analysis

CSG Team will obtain encroachment permits for any field investigation works. Any fee for obtaining permits is not part of the scope.

F ield Investigation
CSG will conduct a field investigation to identify any project issues. Existing surface facility locations and types will be field verified. Visual field assessment of existing site conditions will include existing roadway surface facilities, aboveground and underground utilities, features on adjacent properties and pavement conditions.

Topographic Survey

It is assumed that general provisions (“front end” boilerplate) will be provided by the City in Microsoft Word document format for a similar type of project. A response matrix will be prepared listing City’s review comments on the 95% and 100% design submittals and CSG’s responses to those comments. Agreed upon comments will be incorporated at the next design level. CSG will perform quality assurance and quality control prior to each submittal and in conformance to City, Caltrans, and CA MUTCD Standards.

Task Deliverables: Base Map, One (1) set of Plans, Specifications and Engineer’s Estimate in PDF format at each submittal, City’s Review Comment Matrix; One (1) set of specifications in Word and PDF formats; One (1) set of the Engineer’s Construction Cost Estimate in Excel and PDF formats; One (1) set of all plans in AutoCAD and PDF formats; Meeting Minutes

CSG PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF GILROY
PROJECT NO. 22-RFP=PW-478
8 Optional Tasks
If required, CSG can provide the following optional services as defined in the fee proposal:

Additional Design Support – as needed support for design development.  Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) Coordination – Coordination with UPRR along Railroad Alley. While no specific requests have been made by the City or UPRR to this date, and preliminary thoughts do not anticipate encroachment onto UPRR property, our fee allows for any coordination efforts that may arise during the project design.
 PG&E Undergrounding Design – There is the potential for the project to allow for the design and construction of a trench to underground existing electrical utilities along Gourmet Alley. While the project could not actually place the conduit due to regulatory and schedule constraints, there is the potential for some of the work to be completed and allow for future conduit placement with minimal impact to the alley.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Department of Public Works requires the assistance of consultants for engineering and design support services for the Gourmet Alley and Railroad Alley Pedestrian and Bicycle Beautification Improvements Project.

Staff solicited a Request for Proposal (RFP) for On -Call Engineering and Design Support Services. Staff recommends proceeding with CSG Consultants, the only firm that submitted a proposal to provide these services.

Staff is proposing Council adopt a resolution to amend the budget for fiscal year 2022-2023 and increase appropriations in Fund 487 (Downtown Beautification) by $343,240 plus $34,760 as contingency, approximately 10%, for a total of $378,000 too fully fund the design of the project.

BACKGROUND

The City of Gilroy was awarded a $3.9 million grant in March of 2022 from the California Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”) Clean California Local Grant Program. The grant is for cleanup events and infrastructure improvements along Gourmet Alley and Railroad Alley.

The grant will transform these important alleyways into clean, well-lit, walkable corridors that connect the public to both the city’s main transit center and the City Cultural Arts Center. The spaces will be beautified by paving the alleys with marked paths for walkers and bikers, adding shade, benches, wayfinding signage and waste and recycling receptacles becoming a source of community pride.

The project’s scope of work includes the development of Plans, Specifications, and Engineer’s Estimate (PS&E) to provide infrastructure improvements funded by the grant that include lighting, landscape, and surface improvements. Additional scope provided upon request includes Project Management, Bid Support Services, and Construction Support Services.

ANALYSIS

On July 8, 2022, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for on-call engineering and design support services to eleven (11) prospective consultants on the approved list. Out of the eleven prospective consultants, only o ne proposal was received from CSG Consultants. Staff speculates that only one proposal was received due to the short advertisement period of two weeks. This was done to expedite the project design in order to meet the project’s grant timelines. Based on staff’s review of qualifications, experiences, and cost proposal, staff recommends that the City Council award the contract to CSG Consultants in the amount of $343,240 plus $34,760 as contingency,

9.1 Packet Pg. 525

approximately 10%, for a total amount of $378,000. CSG Consultants has been the City’s contractor providing staff augmentation services in the past for the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and currently for on-call engineering plan review services; staff has been pleased with CSG’s performance over the years.

ALTERNATIVES

City Council can reject the award of this contract with CSG Consultants. Staff does not recommend this option as it could jeopardize the grant funds and delay the project.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE

The total proposal from CSG Consultants is $343,240 with optional services included.

Staff recommends including $34,760 as contingency, approximately 10%, addressing unforeseen issues that may arise during the design process, for a total design allocation of $378,000. The actual cost of the construction for the project will be determined through a competitive construction bid process.

Staff will invoice Caltrans for a reimbursement in grant funds for the design costs as they are incurred. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to amend the budget for Fiscal Year 2022-2023, increasing appropriations in Fund 487 (Downtown Beautification) for the full amount of the grant award, $3,960,765.

CONCLUSION

Staff recommends that City Council approve the award of a contract with CSG Consultants for the design of the Gourmet Alley and Railroad Alley Pedestrian and Bicycle Beautification Improvements Project and authorize the City Administrator to execute the contract and associated documents.

NEXT STEPS

Upon Council’s approval, the contract will be executed, and staff will work with the consultant to develop a final design schedule to begin design activities in August 2022.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GILROY DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION I

The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION II

That the short-term interim franchise agreement between the City and Recology South Valley, attached as Attachment “A” is hereby adopted.

SECTION III
This urgency ordinance, pursuant to Gilroy City Charter, Article VI, Section 602, is hereby declared by the City to be necessary as an urgent measure and shall take effect immediately and be in full force and effect after its approval and adoption based on the following:
a. The City Council finds that the City is required to provide solid waste hauling services for the protection of public health and safety for reasons set forth in the recitals, and to meet legal obligations placed upon it by the State of California in furtherance of these two essential needs.
b. The City Council finds that the provision of this service, as a utility, is to be provided by a franchise agreement as indicated in the City Charter. The City Charter limits franchise agreements to 25 years, of which the City’s current franchise agreement will reach the 25- year limit on September 2, 2022, before the next City Council meeting, and before a regular ordinance authorizing an exclusive franchise agreement can be in effect. Finalizing negotiations of a franchise agreement has been delayed by the negotiation of terms and conditions implementing the organics and recycling requirements as imposed by recently adopted State law.
c. The City Council finds that the provision of services without a current franchise agreement is made a misdemeanor by the City Charter, which would prevent the City’s current solid waste hauler from providing its service to meet the City’s obligations relating to health,

safety and general welfare of the public beyond September 2, 2022, therefore creating a public health threat.
d. The City Council finds that the City has a franchise agreement in place, and a new one is being negotiated, but will not be ready in time for adoption as this urgency ordinance agreement, necessitating the short-term interim agreement proposed, and this ordinance to take effect immediately to complete the franchise agreement process to continue essential services during the intervening time until the negotiated franchise agreement can be finalized.

SECTION IV
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Gilroy hereby declares that it would have passed and adopted this ordinance, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases may be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

SECTION V
This Urgency Ordinance is adopted pursuant to Gilroy City Charter, Section 602. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Urgency Ordinance and cause the same to be published in the manner prescribed by law, and it shall become effective immediately upon its adoption.

City and Contractor are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "parties".

This Agreement is made with reference to the following facts:

A) City and Contractor are currently parties to an agreement dated September 2, 1997 by which City granted to Contractor, whose corporate name at the time was South Valley Disposal & Recycling, Inc., the franchise to collect, transport and dispose of garbage and refuse produced within the corporate limits of City for the benefit and in the interest of the health, safety and welfare of its citizens. That agreement was amended by that certain first amendment dated as of July 6, 1999 (the “First Amendment”), as amended by that certain second amendment dated June 19, 2000 (the “Second Amendment”), as amended by that certain third amendment dated July 1, 2014 (the “Third Amendment”), as amended by that certain fourth amendment dated June 20, 2022 (the “Fourth Amendment”) and, as amended, is referred to herein as the "Prior Agreement". The franchise granted by the Prior Agreement will terminate on August 31, 2022.

This Agreement includes the initial expansion and implementation of obligations of Contractor relating to, among other things, Phase 1 of the Commercial Generator Desktop Compliance Reviews for Senate Bill 1383 (“SB 1383”), Assembly Bill 1826 (“AB 1826”), and Assembly Bill 341 (“AB 341”) (collectively, “State Legislation”) compliance, as well as outreach and education for the State Legislation, as more particularly set forth in this Agreement’s Exhibit “C”. The City had previously implemented a Source Reduction and Recycling Element as part of its general plan which contains a series of programs designed to achieve the diversion goals of the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (Public Resources Code Sections 40000 et seq.), and it is the intention of Contractor and City, through the continued operation of those programs established during the Prior Agreement, in addition to those contained in this Agreement, to continue working together to achieve those goals.

C) Pursuant to powers expressly granted to cities and counties in Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, and also set forth in California Public Resources Code Section 40059, Franchisor has the authority within its jurisdiction to regulate the handling of solid waste.

D) City has determined that it is in the best interests of City and its citizens to contract with Contractor for an integrated waste management program for residential and commercial premises within the corporate limits of City for the benefit and in the interest of the health, Attachment A

10) Rates and Charges.

A) In General.
i) The allowable compensation for Contractor's services relating to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement is subject to determination by City pursuant to the Code and the procedures set forth herein. Contractor understands that the rates described in this Agreement constitute the full and sole compensation for the services of Contractor under this Agreement. No other or additional charges shall be made or payments shall be sought and/or accepted by Contractor either from City or from any other person for any of Contractor's services in performing its obligations under this Agreement, except for revenues which Contractor receives from the sale of Recyclable Materials.
ii) The rates identified in Exhibit G of this Agreement will remain in place through the term of this Agreement, until a new franchise agreement is adopted and made effective.

B) Collection Rates. The maximum permitted rates which may be charged for Contractor's collection, disposal and related services hereunder during the Agreement are set forth in Exhibit "G" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

C) Special Service Rates. Special rates which may be charged for Contractor's extra pickup and other special services are set forth in Exhibits "C" and "G" attached hereto. Unless charges are specifically authorized herein, Contractor's pickup and other special services will be without charge to customers or City.

D) Special Requests for Extraordinary Rate Adjustments. i) Contractor shall have the option of filing a special request, with supporting documentation, for an adjustment to the rates to recover any significantly increased costs that Contractor can demonstrate have resulted from extraordinary and unanticipated changes in circumstances occurring during the term of this Agreement, such as the unavailability of or changes in landfill disposal sites that have been approved by City, changes in laws or regulations, new or increased taxes or fees imposed by a governmental agency, or other extraordinary events or circumstances beyond the reasonable control and anticipation of Contractor.

However, the fact that economic conditions or operating assumptions made by Contractor when entering into this Agreement do not turn out as anticipated by Contractor is not alone a valid basis for a request for adjustment by Contractor under this section. Any such adjustment in the rates shall be subject to the discretion of the City Council of City and shall be based upon evidence of the increased costs to Contractor of performing its required services under this Agreement (and shall take into consideration Contractor's revenues).

ii) City shall not be responsible for any damages to Contractor as a result of City's failure to approve a rate increase to which Contractor is otherwise entitled pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that any rate increase that is enacted after the date on which enactment is otherwise required under this Agreement shall be calculated to permit Contractor to recover the full amount of revenue that Contractor would have received had the rate increase been enacted in a timely manner. iii) If Contractor requests a rate adjustment due to changes in circumstances relating to landfill disposal sites, City shall have the option of providing a substitute landfill disposal site, at City's expense, and adjusting Contractor's approved rates by an amount fairly equivalent to Contractor's changed costs, if any, as a result of the use of the substitute landfill disposal site provided by City. Upon City's request, Contractor shall submit to City evidence satisfactory to the City in the City’s reasonable discretion of Contractor’s costs attributable to the use of the landfill disposal sites for which City may provide a substitute.

E) Rate Adjustments Relating to Landfill Direction. If City has directed Contractor to deliver Refuse to a landfill or other waste management facility, Contractor and City shall negotiate a fair and reasonable adjustment to service rates and charges that reflect all of the cost increases or decreases resulting from the City' s direction of the waste. Costs to be included in the negotiation include, but are not limited to, tipping fees, labor, fuel, and equipment.

Contractor, at its own expense, shall perform all customer billing services, which shall be on a quarterly cycle, and all collection of charges billed in connection with Contractor’s services to customers described in this Agreement prior to the customer billings being assigned to City as provided for by subsection (B) below.

Contractor shall send the last page of the monthly cash receipts journal, the billing register and the accounts receivable aging report to the City each month to verify collections for each month.

The City may increase the franchise fee to a maximum of seven percent (7%) upon ninety (90) days' written notice to Contractor; provided, that in the event the City increases the City Fee it shall, prior to the effective date of the increase, enact an increase in collection rates that shall permit Contractor to recover the full amount of the increase, including an allowance for the operating ratio.

E) Late Payment Charge.

RECOMMENDATION

a) Motion to read the ordinance by title only and waive any future reading. b) Adopt an Urgency Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Gilroy approving a

9.2 Packet Pg. 573

short-term interim franchise agreement with Recology South Valley for solid waste hauling services.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The City Charter (Charter) places a limit of 25 years for franchise agreements. The current franchise agreement for solid waste hauling services was adopted on September 2, 1997, placing the required end of the agreement on September 2, 2022.

The City of Gilroy (City) is negotiating a new franchise agreement for solid waste hauling services, but it will not be finalized bef ore the 25-year limit is reached. A new, short-term franchise agreement is required to provide this essential service, and begin implementation of new state legislation, while the process to finalize the new, longer - term franchise agreement completes. As the interim franchise agreement is to be adopted by ordinance, an urgency ordinance is required to adopt the interim agreement in time to sustain the mandatory public health services being provided.

BACKGROUND

The City contracts through exclusive franchise agreements for solid waste hauling services, sometimes referred to as garbage or refuse service, but which now also includes due to recent legislation required recycling and organic waste service. The franchise agreement process is regulated by the Charter, which contains certain provisions. Among these, the primary matter of concern is a maximum term limit on franchise agreements established at 25 years.

The City entered into its current franchise agreement on September 2, 1997. At 25 years, the required termination of that franchise agreement is September 2, 2022, 18 days from this evening’s Council Meeting. The City has been in negotiations with Recology South Valley (Recology) on a new franchise agreement, pursuant to the requirements of the Charter. However, the new franchise agreement currently in negotiations will not be completed in time, nor effective even if ready for this Council meeting, due to the Charter’s requirement that regular ordinances take effect thirty days after adoption.

The Charter provides conditions on franchise agreements regarding its adoption. The franchise must be granted by ordinance pursuant to Section 600 of the Charter.

Additionally, an urgency ordinance requires five affirmative votes to be passed, pursuant to Section 602 of the Charter, instead of the usual four affirmative votes for regular ordinances.

ANALYSIS

Staff, in consultation with the City Attorney’s Office, are recommending the approval of a short-term interim franchise agreement with Recology, and to do so th rough adoption of an urgency ordinance to take effect immediately upon adoption. This approach would allow this essential public health and mandated service to continue being provided, and

9.2 Packet Pg. 574

begin implementation of the requirements issued by California Senate Bill 1383 (“SB 1383”), Assembly Bill 1826 (“AB 1826”), and Assembly Bill 341 (“AB 341”) (collectively, “State Legislation”).

The interim agreement is a paring down and enhancement to the existing franchise agreement. The reason for this approach was to limit disruptions to customers of the service, to not require any increase of service charges during the interim franchise agreement, and to have terms that are known to be agreeable to both the City and Recology to continue service without interruption due to a need for broad negotiation on the interim agreement. Additionally, there are provisions to initiate non-operational components of the State Legislation, more specifically data collection and identification of customers within various categories as identified in State Legislation. This will help continue to show compliance and advancement of the legal requirements, until the new longer-term franchise agreement can be approved and made effective.

In summary, the changes in the interim agreement from the franchise agreement about to expire include:

• Amended the term to end December 31, 2022, or until replaced by the longer - term franchise agreement, whichever occurs sooner.
• Removal of references to the original “Can-Do” recycling program, as current State Legislation requires the three-cart system already in place, including recycling and organics.
• Rates will remain the same as currently exist during the term of the interim agreement
• Removed the references to annual inflationary increases, the methodology of those increases, and the five-year review and adjustment process. • Removed references to processes such as annual or intermittent year adjustments or reviews, given the limited term of the interim agreement. • Deleted no longer needed exhibits for those provisions that were deleted in the agreement itself.
• Added the workplan for Phase 1 of the Commercial Generator Desktop Compliance Reviews for State Legislation compliance, and initial outreach efforts and planning.

Urgency Ordinance

The urgency ordinance is required as regular ordinance would not go into effect until thirty days after adoption per Section 608, which would require Recology to end its service after September 2nd, only to resume it on October 12 when a regular ordinance would become effective after two regular City Council meetings – an introduction (August 15, 2022 meeting) and adoption (September 12, 2022 meeting) of the ordinance, interrupting service for at least 40 days. By adopting the agreement by an

9.2 Packet Pg. 575

urgency ordinance, the ordinance goes into effect immediately, allowing service to be uninterrupted, preserving public health and safety through sanitation services.

To adopt an urgency ordinance, the Council must adopt findings to that effect. The findings for consideration to adopt the urgency ordinance are based on the following:

a. The City Council finds that the City is required to provide solid waste hauling services for the protection of public health and safety for reasons set forth in the recitals, and to meet legal obligations plac ed upon it by the State of California in furtherance of these two essential needs.
b. The City Council finds that the provision of this service, as a utility, is to be provided by a franchise agreement as indicated in the City Charter. The City Charter limits franchise agreements to 25 years, of which the City’s current franchise agreement will reach the 25-year limit on September 2, 2022, before the next City Council meeting, and before a regular ordinance authorizing an exclusive franchise agreement can be in effect. Finalizing negotiations of a franchise agreement has been delayed by the negotiation of terms and conditions implementing the organics and recycling requirements as imposed by recently adopted State law.
c. The City Council finds that the provision of services without a current franchise agreement is made a misdemeanor by the City Charter, which would prevent the City’s current solid waste hauler from providing its service to meet the City’s obligations relating to health, safety and general welfare of the public beyond September 2, 2022, therefore creating a public health threat. d. The City Council finds that the City has a franchise agreement in place, and a new one is being negotiated, but will not be ready in time for adoption as this urgency ordinance agreement, necessitating the short-term interim agreement proposed, and this ordinance to take effect immediately to complete the franchise agreement process to continue essential services during the intervening time until the negotiated franchise agreement can be finalized.

CEQA Exemption

Adopting this Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) in that the proposed ordinance will continue an existing state- mandated program for the protection of public health and the environment, and none of the circumstances in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply.

ALTERNATIVES

Council may either adopt, reject, or modify the urgency ordinance and attached interim franchise agreement. Rejection of the item is not recommended, as there would not be sufficient time to find alternatives to provide the service consistent with the Charter.

Modification of the interim agreement is likewise not recommended, due to the need to

9.2 Packet Pg. 576

take any changes back to Recology to see if agreeable, which may interrupt service for an unknown amount of time.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE

There are no cost impacts from the adoption of the urgency ordinance and interim franchise agreement. The rates will remain in effect, as well as the City’s franchise and administration fees. There will be minor costs associated with publishing the urgency ordinance, but the cost will be absorbed in existing appropriations approved by the City Council.

CONCLUSION

The City’s negotiations for a new franchise agreement are not finalized yet, which based on requirements from the Charter would necessitate the end of solid waste hauling services after September 2, 2022. The proposed urgency ordinance and interim franchise agreement would allow for services to continue, meeting the state mandated public health service requirements placed upon the City. The interim agreement would last through the rest of this calendar year, or until the new negotiated franchise agreement becomes effective, whichever is sooner.

NEXT STEPS

With approval of the urgency ordinance and interim franchise agreement, the City Clerk’s Office will complete the required public noticing. City staff will complete the signature process and enact the agreement with Recology. Once the negotiated longer - term franchise agreement is ready, staff will return to Council for consideration of the contract.
