Agenda Item Title: City of Gilroy Recognition of Cesar Chavez Day (March 31) as an Observed Holiday
Meeting Date: November 7, 2022

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution of the City Council of the City of Gilroy declaring Cesar Chavez Day (March 31st) as an Observed Holiday.
BACKGROUND
During the recent labor negotiations process, the topic of adding holidays was raised by two labor groups, AFSCME and GMA. The groups requested consideration of adding Cesar Chavez Day and Juneteenth as additional observed holidays. Most employees in
7.4 Packet Pg. 32
these labor groups would have a paid day off if these additional holidays are added to the City of Gilroy’s observed holiday list.
At the Council meeting of August 15, 2022, the Council unanimously a pproved a council-initiated item to conduct a future Council discussion on the topic of adding Cesar Chavez Day as an additional observed City of Gilroy holiday.
At the Council meeting of October 3, 2022, the City Council voted in support of moving forward with adding Cesar Chavez Day as an official observed holiday for the City of Gilroy and directed staff to complete the necessary next steps to complete this process.
Given the impacts on the City of Gilroy labor organizations and negotiated Memoranda of Understanding, a closed session was held on October 17, 2022, to provide direction to the City’s negotiators. City negotiators have communicated with all recognized labor groups and have reached tentative agreements relative to this item.
At this time, the final step in the approval process is for the City Council, by resolution, to declare Cesar Chavez Day (March 31) as an official observed holiday for the City of Gilroy. Upon adoption of this resolution, this holiday will be added to the City’s official observed holiday list, and going forward City offices will be closed on the designated date.
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND
Cesar Chavez Day is a federal commemorative holiday and an observed holiday for the State of California since the year 2000, celebrated to honor the enduring legacy of the American labor rights hero. Cesar Estrada Chavez was born on March 31, 1927, to a Mexican American family in Yuma, Arizona. He spent his early years on a farm where his mother worked as a part-time laborer. In the late 1930s as a result of the Great Depression, Chavez and his family moved to California in search of a better livelihood.
Chavez spent most of his adult years fighting for workers’ rights. In 1962, Chavez, along with Dolores Huerta, established the National Farm Workers Association. Chavez passed away in 1993 and later that year he was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Clinton. Cesar Chavez Day was initiated by former President Obama in 2014 and on March 31 of each year community leaders come together to celebrate the life of this American icon and take inspiration from his four decades of selfless service to the workers of the United States.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Employees work 2080 hours in a fiscal year. The value of pr oviding eight hours of holiday time off is .00385 or less than a ½ percent. While there is no additional hard cost as the non-safety employee is paid the same salary, the time off does carry a non- monetary impact as the employee is not working. The cost to proportionately increase the amount of holiday pay for safety employees is approximately $130,000 annually .

NEXT STEPS
Following the adoption of the resolution, staff will finalize side letters to the current Memoranda of Understanding with the City’s recognized labor groups consistent with the direction provided by the City Council and the tentative agreements reached with each labor group.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution to Approve a Utility Easement Deed to Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) on a Portion of City-owned parcel APN 799-08-051 within the Downtown Gourmet Parking Lot, and Authorize the City Administrator, or designee, to execute the easement deed.
BACKGROUND
A new easement is required to install PG&E facilities at the new Downtown Gourmet Parking Lot at the northeast corner of Eigleberry and Seventh Street. The easement is
7.5 Packet Pg. 37
required by PG&E to relocate a joint guy stub pole and anchor that are currently in conflict with the Downtown Gourmet Parking Lot improvements. The easement area (shown in Attachment 2 – Exhibit “B”) will be repositioned on property owned by the City of Gilroy. The easement is approximately 100 square feet in area.
ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed the new easement and proposed facilities and found that they do not conflict with the City’s other utilities within the immediate area. Staff recommends approval of this easement.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may deny the request to authorize the City Administrator, or Designee, to grant the easement to PG&E for the relocation of the joint guy stub pole and anchor. Staff does not recommend this option as this would require the redesign of a portion of the parking lot and would delay its construction.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
There are no financial impacts with this action.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Gilroy currently contracts with Luhdorff & Scalmanini Consulting Engineers (LSCE) to provide design and construction engineering services for the Potable Water Well Number 9 (McCarthy Well) project. The Engineering Division is requesting that an amendment be approved for additional funding of the project in the amount of $99,502.
Additionally, the Engineering Division is also requesting an extension of t he term to June 30, 2024 as the current term expires on December 31, 2022.
BACKGROUND
The City of Gilroy has undergone new development over the past several years resulting in an increase in demand for water. The City’s Department of Public Works has taken a proactive approach in determining the current level of water use versus the available water supply by producing a Report on Potable Water Demand and Supply for Imminent Development which was presented to Council in November 2018.
Based on the detailed analysis of imminent development, current daily water production, and historical consumption, Council approved the design and construction of a new well to meet the near-future water demand.
On May 12, 2019, the City issued a Request for Proposal s (RFP) to perform the design and construction and engineering services for the McCarthy Well project. The RFP was advertised on the City of Gilroy’s website and in the San Jose Mercury News. Two proposals were received by the June 7, 2019 deadline from the following consultants:
GHD, Inc. and LSCE.
LSCE was selected as the most qualified firm for this project based on their qualifications, thorough project understanding, and their approach to the design and coordination process for the project. On Sep tember 16, 2019, Council approved a contract amount of $620,000 which included a 10% contingency of the initial $562,145 that was proposed.
ANALYSIS
The Engineering Division has historically relied upon consultants to supplement design services to augment City staffing levels. LSCE has been providing the City with design and construction engineering services since September 16, 2019. To this point, LSCE has provided approximately 77 hours of work across all employee classifications including work related to property acquisition, environmental study, site investigation, production well design and construction, pump station design and construction, and permitting assistance from various regulatory agencies such as the State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water and the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Agency.
7.6 Packet Pg. 46
Several delays have occurred from the start of the project. Foremost among them are delays associated with ongoing supply shortages and other obstacles encountered during the COVID-19 pandemic. The coordination of the Right of Entry Agreement with the property owner to allow LSCE’s subcontractors to enter the property was also a challenge that affected the work schedule.
As a result of the various delays, there have been price escalations from the eight (8) subcontractors and sub-consultants. The Engineering Division would like to continue to utilize LSCE’s services to see this project to completion. LSCE has widespread resources as they relate to staffing and expertise . This gives the City peace of mind when dealing with the complexities that the design and construction of a project like this can present. Currently, the City does not have the necessary resources to complete these tasks without assistance. LCSE can continue to provide these resources with Council’s approval. The Engineering Division would like to extend the current contract term to June 30, 2024.
LSCE is providing a Principal Professional, Supervising Professional, Project Professional, Staff Professional, Staff Professional (Prevailing Wage), AutoCAD Programmer, and a Clerical Professional along with eight subcontractors to perform the work outlined in the scope. With the recent increases anticipated, a revised cost is being proposed below:
Description Cost
Initial Contract Amount w/Contingency $620,000
Proposed Contract Amount $654,093
10% Contingency $65,409
Total Increase $99,502
Revised Contract Amount $719,502
ALTERNATIVES
Council could reject the amendment. Not awarding the amendment would leave t he Engineering Division in a predicament as the Department does not possess the staffing resources to perform design and construction engineering services for this project. The Engineering Division would not be able to sustain this project without additional resources, therefore, this option is not recommended.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
LCSE’s updated cost for design and construction engineering services for the McCarthy Well project is $654,093. Staff recommends including a 10% contingency of $65,40 9, addressing unforeseen issues that may arise during the design process, for a total contract of $719,502.
7.6 Packet Pg. 47
Funding for this project will continue to be drawn from the Water Development Impact Fee Fund (Fund 436). There are adequate funds and budgetary appropriations available to accommodate this increase in the Water Development Impact Fee Fund.
NEXT STEPS
Upon approval of this contract, staff will finalize the process with LSCE, and work will continue on the McCarthy Well project.

Claricationsand additions to the Scope of Work have been made below per the Citls request after City review of LSCE's original proposal All revisions are show in italicized textfor reference.
Task 1 - Project Coordination, Meetings, and Administration Task 1.1- Kickoff and Information Request
LSCE's work on the project will begin with a kickoff meeting with City staff and key LSCE team members to discuss the various aspects of the project. Items such as contact information, chain of command, the City's project expectations, respective roles and responsibilities, schedule, design preferences and parameters, and site constraints shall be discussed at the kick-off meeting. Following the meeting, LSCE will provide the City with a list of requested information.
Task 1.2 - Project Coordination, Meetings, and Administration Key LSCE team members will attend regular design meetings with the City to discuss various aspects of the project. For each meeting, LSCE will prepare and distribute meeting agendas, minutes, and action item summaries. LSCE will also provide frequent updates via email or telephone throughout the project as needed. This task also provides for project management and administrative activities such as: (a) Contractual Arrangements, (b) Ongoing Examination Regarding Adherence to The Scope, Budget, and Schedule, (c) Coordination of Staff Resources (d) Internal Review of Work Products, (e) Management of Subcontractors, (f) Billing Review, and (g) Scoping and Budgeting.
Task 2 - Property Acquisition and Permitting Assistance Task 2.1- Property Acquisition
LSCE will communicate and work with the property owner to acquire the property with the assistance of a licensed commercial land appraiser. This task includes the effort required to negotiate with the property owner regarding the value and dimensions of the new property site for the new proposed pump station, conducting of an independent appraisal of valuation of the approximately 14,450 sq. foot split lot area boundary line locations provided by City) within the existing 53,925 sq. foot lot, provide right of way acquisition for the new proposed site, and prepare a legal plat and description of the new parcel. LSCE assumes the services of an attorney for litigation or legal support is not required for the transfer of ownership of the property.
Task 2.2 — Permitting Assistance
Through our work on numerous projects in the past, LSCE has developed a good working relationship with the State Water Resources Control Board — Division of Drinking Water (SWRCB-DDW) and other regional permitting and regulatory entities in the area and can assist in expediting all necessary applications and supporting permit documents in a cost-efficient manner. LSCE envisions the following permitting activities will need to be undertaken to complete the project.
SWRCB-SWRCB-DDW Siting Concurrence: LSCE believes that early communications with SWRCB- SWRCB-DDW is essential to address any concerns that the agency may have regarding well siting and design before preparation of project plans and specifications. After approval of the well design by the City, LSCE will prepare an initial SWRCB-DDW submittal document requesting siting and design concurrence for the new well based on compliance with SWRCB-DDW and Department of Water
7.6.b
Packet Pg. 65 Attachment: LSCE Contract (4018 : First Amendment to Luhdorff & Scalmanini Consulting Engineers)
Resources (DWR) regulations. The initial submittal will include a monitoring well profile, monitoring well water quality summary, preliminary well design, site layout, location may, map indicating location and distances of sanitary features from the proposed well location, delineation of wellhead control zone, and the preliminary Drinking Water Source Assessment Protection (DWSAP) Report.
SWRCB-DDW Water Supply Amendment: LSCE will interact with the SWRCB-DDW and the City for completion of a draft and final water supply permit. LSCE has completed numerous water supply permits and fully understands the SWRCB-DDW process and required submittals. A draft water supply amendment will be submitted to the SWRCB-DDW following construction of the production well. The draft water supply amendment package typically includes submittal of the well datasheet, well driller's logs, well completion report, well test data, DWSAP report, and Title 22 water quality results. Following final completion and acceptance of the project, LSCE will assist the City with preparation of the final SWRCB-DDW amended water supply permit which includes all documents from the draft watersupply amendment submittal and preparation of the permit application, As -Built drawings, well pump specifications, bacteriological test results and a facility operations plan. The SWRCB- DDW no longer charges a fee for filing of the watersupply amendment package.
CEQA: LSCE envisions the project may meet the requirements for a California Environmental Quality Act CEQA) categorical exemption, however, LSCE is prepared to develop an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) with a "Notice of Completion". Mitigation measures will be incorporated into the project to reduce potential environmental impacts. A draft Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Plan MMRP) will be prepared to ensure that each mitigation measure adopted as a condition of project approval, will be implemented. LSCE anticipates significant archeological or biological impediments are not present on or near the project site and therefore the Initial Study will only include a cursory review of the site biological resources and cultural resources and not require a full reporting and assessment effort.
Other Permitting Activities: LSCE will contact applicable agencies as needed to establish permitting requirements and prepare all permit documentation required by the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Agency SCVHA), Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD), South County Regional Wastewater Authority (SCRWA), Bay Area Quality Management District (BAQMD), and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). LSCE assumes the general contractors assigned to construct the well and well pump station will pay all specific permitting fees required City of Gilroy, County of Santa Clara, SCVWD, SCR WA, and R WQCB. LSCE assumes the City will pay the permit fees for the BAQMD (estimated to be no more than $1,000).

LSCE's estimated cost to complete the scope of work outlined in our proposal was based on our understanding of the project and what would be typically expected to complete the tasks described based on our prior experience. The cost estimate assumed the following:
The City will provide daily inspection services during construction of the well pump station and LSCE will provide milestone inspections as identified in the workplan.
Prevailing wage rates for applicable work for LSCE personnel and subcontractors SWPPP is not required as the planned project will disturb less than 1 acre.
LSCE will retain the test hole driller and pay for monitoring well Title 22 water quality analysis.
General Conditions, Supplemental General Conditions, and other "front end" specifications will be prepared by City staff.
Design documents will conform to the City's standards.
The City will pay all permitting fees.
Exhibit D includes detailed estimated project costs that includes hours per LSCE work tasks and subtasks, billing rate by employee classification, estimated subcontracted costs, and miscellaneous expenses. LSCE will invoice monthly on a time and materials basis as incurred for labor, materials, and subcontracted services in accordance with our 2019 Schedule of Fees for Engineering and Field Services.
LSCE's 2019 Labor Fees shall remain in effect forthe full contract period (project completion).

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving a Tentative Map to subdivide the property located at 778 First Street into two parcels (APN: 808-12-035 & 808-12-036) (File Number TM 22-04).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The applicant proposes to subdivide an approximately 75 square-foot lot at 778 First Street into two lots having approximately 55,191 and 20,291 square feet respectively.
The site contains an existing building and a new building under construction, along with other site improvements. The subdivision is proposed to create separate parcels for the existing and new buildings.
9.1 Packet Pg. 86
POLICY DISCUSSION
The subdivision of this lot requires the approval of a tentative map by the City Council upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission. The site has a General Plan land use designation of Mixed-Use Corridor and a Zoning designation of C-3, Shopping Center Commercial. The resulting parcels comply with the site standards of the General Plan and Zoning designations.
BACKGROUND
Planning Commission Recommendation: On October 6, 2022, the Planning Commission reviewed the project, and by unanimous vote of all members present, recommended approval of the proposed Tentative Map to the City Council.
Environmental Assessment: The proposed subdivision is exempt from further environmental review and qualifies for the State CEQA Guidelines Class 15 Exemption, Minor Land Divisions, because the proposed subdivision results in less than four parcels, is in conformance with the City’s General Plan and Zoning, seeks no exceptions or variances, and all services and access to the resulting parcels is available.
ANALYSIS
Project Description: The applicant, Craig Filice representing Castlewood Corner LLC, is seeking approval of a Tentative Map Application, TM 22 -04, that will subdivide an approximately 75,482 square foot lot at 778 First Street into two lots having approximately 55,191 and 20,291 square feet respectively. There are an existing building and a building under construction on the site along with other site improvements; however, no new construction beyond these is proposed. There are two Assessor Parcels that make up the subject site, Assessor Parcel Numbers 808-12-035 & 808-12-036.
The proposed property line that will create the two separate lots is located roughly down the middle of the site access drive aisle that leads from the driveway apron fronting on First Street. A condition of approval requires that the owner formalize reciprocal easements between the proposed parcels to assure that access to each of the sites and parking spaces is maintained and available into the future.
General Plan Consistency: The City's General Plan designates the subject site as Mixed Use Corridor (MU), which supports the mix of uses on the site. This designation encourages a mix of retail, office, and high-density residential uses. Although there are no residential units on the current and proposed sites, it adjo ins a residential development along the southern property line (the existing drive aisle accessed from First Street provides alternate emergency access to these residential units) and there are more residential units within walking distance of the project site. The proposed division of the site does not impact the ability of the mix of uses on the site to continue.
9.1 Packet Pg. 87
As such, the proposal conforms to the following goals and policies of the General Plan:
General Plan Goal/Policy Consistency Analysis
LU 1.4 Mix of Uses Encourage a
diverse mix of land uses to achieve a
balance between jobs and housing,
to ensure the community’s long-term
viability, and to increase job
opportunities in the city to assist in
equalizing the jobs/housing balance.
The proposed subdivision helps preserve the
mix of uses on the project site and allows the
property owner flexibility in the future to quickly
address changing market circumstances.
LU 4.1 Clustering Commercial Uses
Encourage new commercial uses to
group into clustered areas or centers
containing professional offices, retail
sales and services.
The subdivision, although it creates separate
parcels, does maintain a cluster of commercial
uses of different types along the First Street
corridor.
LU 7.1 Mixed-Use Districts
Encourage mixed-use development
to locate within the Downtown and in
the First Street Mixed-Use District.
The proposed subdivision will help facilitate
mixed-use development on the site because it
provides flexibility to the property owner to
address market changes and preferences of
the future.
Goal EP 3 Maintain a supportive
business climate that increases the
City’s ability to support the
expansion of existing businesses
and attraction of new businesses.
The proposal supports the business climate by
providing flexibility for use of the site, which
can make it more responsive to market
conditions of the future.
Goal EP 5 Maintain and expand
Gilroy’s retail sector to meet local
and regional demands and generate
tax revenues for City operations.
The proposal allows for the expansion and
flexibility of retail establishments to meet local
and regional demand; thus, supporting the
generation of tax revenues for City operations.
Zoning Code Conformance: The proposed development is located in the C-3, Shopping Center Commercial, zone district. There are no minimum lot sizes in this zone district so the resulting lots of 55,191 square feet and 20,291 square feet respectively will be in compliance. The proposal is a request to subdivide an existing developed site and the buildings will be in conformance with the site development standards of the C -3 Zone District. The applicant is not requesting exceptions to any of the site development standards of the C-3 Zone District.
Tentative Map Analysis: The parcel map has been evaluated against the following criteria, which are used to ensure resulting lots can be developed in accordance with zoning and development standards:
a) Flood Zone: The site is located in Flood Zone X, which is not a Special Flood Hazard Area.
9.1 Packet Pg. 88
b) Site Layout: The site is developed with two buildings, one of which is under construction, and various other improvements such as drive aisles, parking spaces, landscaping, and utility improvements. No adjustments to the site layout are being proposed with the requested tentative map. Access to the site is by way of driveways that are on First Street and Wren Avenues.
c) Design and Size of Lots: The proposed parcels will have 55,191 square feet and 20,291 square feet respectively and are of sufficient size and ge ometry to accommodate their buildings and other improvements.
d) Circulation: Each resulting parcel will have frontage on First Street and the corner parcel will have frontage on Wren Avenue as well. Given the existing network of drive aisles on the site, all the parcels can be accessed from First Street or Wren Avenue.
e) Open Space: There are no open space requirements for parcels in this zoning district and most of the existing and proposed parcels are dedicated to buildings, drive aisles, and parking. However, the site is landscaped especially at the edges of the parcel along their street frontages.
f) Improvements: The existing and proposed parcels are developed and full services are and remain available.
g) Property Dedications and Easements: In order to maintain appropriate access among the existing and resulting parcels, a condition of approval requiring the dedication of reciprocal driveway ingress and egress between the parcels is being recommended and included in the Resolution attached with this agenda report.
Public Comment: At its meeting on October 6, 2022, a member of the public raised questions regarding how the proposed subdivision may affect existing and proposed uses and the neighboring residential properties. The applicant’s representative addressed these questions and noted this proposal simply divides an existing lot into two, does not modify existing uses or structures, and the function or operation of the site would continue as planned.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may approve the project with revisions, continue the project for further review or deny the project. Staff does not recommend these actions.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the Resolution . The applicant has paid the fees associated with the application.
9.1 Packet Pg. 89
CONCLUSION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving a Tentative Map to subdivide the property located at 778 First Street into two parcels (APN: 808-12-035 & 808-12-036) (File Number TM 22-04).
NEXT STEPS
Upon City Council approval, the Public Works Department Engineering Division would complete the process of signing and recording the Parcel Map.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
On October 28, 2022, the project was published in the Gilroy Dispatch and on October 19, 2022, a notice of this City Council meeting was mailed to property owners within 500 feet of the subject site. In addition, the City Council public hearing packets are available through the City's webpage.

Per California Code Section 53646(a) and the City’s Investment Policy, the City Administrator shall annually render to the City Council a statement of investment policy (Attachment 2), which shall be considered by the Council at a public meeting to ensure its consistency with respect to the overall objectives of safety, liquidity, and yield.
Council last reviewed the policy in May 2020.
11.1 Packet Pg. 108
Per the City’s Investment Policy, temporarily idle or surplus funds of the City shall be invested in accordance with principles of sound treasury management. The three basic objectives of Gilroy's Investment Program are, in order of priority, (1) safety of invested funds, (2) maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet cash flow needs of the City; and (3) attainment of the maximum yield possible consistent with the first two objectives.
The City's investment portfolio is structured to provide that sufficient funds from investments are available every month to meet the City's anticipated cash needs.
Subject to the safety provisions outlined above, the choice in investment instruments and maturities is based upon an analysis of anticipated cash needs, existing and anticipated revenues, interest rate trends, and specific market opportunities. The maximum maturity for investment instruments is five years from the date of purchase.
ANALYSIS
The City’s current investment strategy is conservative and passive, and the City’s idle cash is primarily invested in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) which is a program offered to local agencies to participate in a major portfolio managed by the California State Controller with 2,385 participants and $29.5 billion in assets at the end of September 2022. All securities purchased by the pool follow Government Code Section 16430 and 14680.4.
Policy Updates
With this annual review of the investment policy, sta ff recommends updates to a few sections to provide clarification and to align the policy with the current standards and practice. Notable items include:
• Pooling of Funds – This section is added to clarify that the City currently pools its available cash, excluding monies held by trustee or fiscal agent, from all funds for investment purposes. Pooling allows the City to maximize investment earnings and provides efficiencies with investment pricing, safekeeping, and overall administration of the program.
• Benchmark/Performance Standard – This section determines the treasury bill utilized as a benchmark for the portfolio. Currently the six (6) month treasury bill is utilized as the benchmark. Staff recommends updating language to utilize the treasury bill term that most closely corresponds to the City’s portfolio’s weighted average effective maturity.
• Investment Standard – Updated to remove references to the “Prudent Man Rule” and maintains the Prudent Investor Standard as the primary prudence as per the California Government Code.
• Delegation of Authority – This section currently allows the City Council to delegate the authority to the City Treasurer (Finance Director) for a one -year
11.1 Packet Pg. 109
period. To ensure continued compliance with the investment policy year-round and as is the current practice, it is recommended the delegation be made one - time, until revoked as opposed to a one-year period. The investment policy is required to be reviewed and adopted annually by the City Council.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could approve or reject any of the proposed changes to the policy. The Council could also direct staff to amend any of the other sections of the policy. The current policy, with the proposed updates, provides adequate guidance for the City’s investment program.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
There is no fiscal impact to adopting the City’s General Investment Policy. Review and update of the investment policy is an activity that is included in the Finance Department’s annual and ongoing workplan.

INVESTMENT POLICY
fOr
CITY Of GILrOY
Revised: November 20221
I. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this Investment Policy (“Policy”) is to identify elements that will foster a prudent and systematic investment program that meet the City of Gilroy’s objectives through a diversified investment portfolio. This policy also serves to organize and formalize the City’s investment related activities, while complying with all applicable statutes governing the investment of public funds.
Temporarily idle or surplus funds of the City of Gilroy shall be invested in accordance with principles of sound treasury management and in accordance with the provisions of California Government Code Sections 53600, et seq., the Municipal Code, guidelines established by the California Municipal Treasurer's Association and the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers, and this Investment Policy. ("Policy").
A. Overall Risk Profile
The three basic objectives of Gilroy's Investment Program are, in order of priority:
1. Safety of invested funds;
2. Maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet cash flow needs of the City; and
3. Attainment of the maximum yield possible consistent with the first two objectives.
The achievement of these objectives shall be accomplished in the manner described below:
1. Safety of Invested Funds
The City shall ensure the safety of its invested idle funds by limiting credit and interest rate risks. Credit risk is the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer or backer. Interest rate risk is the risk that the market value portfolio securities will fall due to an increase in general interest rates.
a. Credit risk will be mitigated by:
i. Limiting investments to the safest types of securities as outlined in this policy;
ii. By prequalifying the financial institutions with which it will do business; and iii. By diversifying the investment portfolio so that the failure of any one issuer or backer will not place an undue financial burden on the City.
b. Interest rate risk will be mitigated by:
11.1.b
Packet Pg. 113 Attachment: Exhibit A: Investment Policy 2022 (3996 : Annual Review & Update of the Investment Policy)
- 2 -
i. Maintaining adequate sums in 30 day or less funds.
ii. Structuring the City's portfolio so that securities mature to meet the City's cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to their maturation to meet those specific needs; and
c. The physical security or safekeeping of the City's investments is also an important element of safety. Detailed safekeeping requirements are defined in Section III of this Policy.
2. Liquidity
The City’s investment portfolio shall be structured in a manner which strives to achieve that securities mature at the same time as cash is needed to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity). Additionally, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity).
Funds equal to 20% of the total annual expenditure budget less any capital expenditures for which bond proceeds are available, less internal service fund charges and less Trust and Agency fund expenditures, as first adopted for each fiscal year, shall be invested in the California State LAIF or other 30 day or less securities for call requirements. However, this provision shall not require the sale of any investment due solely to the adoption of a new budget, or amendment to a budget, which would have the effect of increasing the dollar amount needed to maintain this 20% requirement in 30 day or less funds. At such time that the 30 day or less funds falls below 20% of the annual expenditure budget, the City Treasurer, within 30 days, will notify the Investment Committee with a proposed action plan. The City Council will be subsequently notified of the action taken. The specific percentage mix of different investment instruments and maturities is described in Section II of this Policy.
3. Yield
Yield on the City's investment portfolio is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. Investments are limited to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed. While it may occasionally be necessary or strategically prudent of the City to sell a security prior to maturity to either meet unanticipated cash needs or to restructure the portfolio, this Policy specifically prohibits trading securities for the sole purpose of speculating on the future direction of interest rates.
B. Time Frame for Investment Decisions
The City's investment portfolio shall be structured to provide that sufficient funds from investments are available every month to meet the City's anticipated cash needs. Subject
11.1.b
Packet Pg. 114 Attachment: Exhibit A: Investment Policy 2022 (3996 : Annual Review & Update of the Investment Policy)
- 3 -
to the safety provisions outlined above, the choice in investment instruments and maturities shall be based upon an analysis of anticipated cash needs, existing and anticipated revenues, interest rate trends, and specific market opportunities. No investment should have a maturity of more than five (5) years from its date of purchase without receiving City Council approval within the prior 90 days.
The City will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping and administration. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
C.D. Definition of Idle or Surplus Funds
Idle or surplus funds for the purpose of this Policy are all City funds which are available for investment at any one time, including the estimated checking account float, excepting those minimum balances required by the City's banks to compensate them for the cost of banking services. This Policy also applies to the idle or surplus funds included in the general fund, special revenue funds, debt service funds, capital projects funds, enterprise funds, internal service funds, trust/agency funds and of other entities for which the City of Gilroy personnel provide financial management services.
D.E. Applicability of Policy
This policy does not apply to:
1. The City's Deferred Compensation Plan, the investments in which are directed by the participating employees; and
2. Monies held by a trustee or fiscal agent and pledged to the payment or security of bonds or other indebtedness, or obligations under agreements, of a local agency, or certificates of participation in such bonds, indebtedness or agreements, the investment of which may be in accordance with the statutory provisions governing the issuance of those bonds, indebtedness or agreements, or to the extent not inconsistent therewith, or if there are no specific statutory provisions, in accordance with the ordinance, resolution, indenture or agreement of the local agency providing for the issuance.
3. Monies held in a Section 115 trust for Post-Employment Benefits Trust (the “Program”) for the purpose of pre-funding pension obligations and/or OPEB obligations. Investment of such section 115 trust/s are directed by the separate Investment Guidelines Document (IGD) as approved by the Plan Sponsor.

II. INVESTMENTS
This section of the Investment Policy identifies policies, types of investments, and related matters pertaining to instruments in which the City will invest its idle funds.
A. Investment Standards
The City of Gilroy operates its temporary pooled idle cash investments under the Prudent Man Rule, California Probate Code Section 16040(b) 1, the Prudent Investor Standard, California Government Code, Section 53600.3 21, and with additional guidance from the provisions of the Uniform Prudent Investor Act, California Probate Code Section 16045, et seq 32. This affords the City a broad spectrum of investment opportunities as long as the investment is deemed prudent and is allowable under current legislation of the State of California (Government Code Section 53600, et seq).
B. Eligible Securities
Subject to the Prudent Man Rule, the Prudent Investor Standard and other applicable laws and regulations, this policy permits investment in the following:
• Insured Certificates of Deposit (CD's) of California banks and/or savings and loan associations, and/or savings with a Superior or Excellent ranking of 165 or more as provided by IDC Financial Publishing Inc. or similar rating publication) which mature in five (5) years or less, provided that the City's investments shall not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) per institution. If the investment exceeds the insured $250,000.00, the funds are to be collateralized at 110% of the deposit in government securities or 150% in mortgages. (limited to 15% of the portfolio)
1The Prudent Man Rule states, in essence, that "in investing . . . property for the benefit of another, a trustee shall exercise the judgment and care, under the circumstances then prevailing, which men of prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs . . ."
12Governing bodies of local agencies (e.g., a City Council) or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, and managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part to an overall strategy, a trustee is authorized to acquire investments as authorized by law.
23The standard of care for trustees investing and managing trust assets is the Prudent Investor Standard and takes into consideration the purposes, terms, distribution requirements and other circumstances of the trust, and in satisfying this standard, the trustee is required to exercise reasonable care, skill, and caution in light of the facts and circumstances existing at the time of a trustee's decision or action.

Every three years, the California Building Standards Commission adopts new building standards and publishes the California Building Standards Code, which governs the design and construction of buildings and associated facilities and equipment throughout California. In accordance with California Health and Safety Code, a city may establish more restrictive building standards than those in the California Building Standards Code if the city finds that local amendments are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the latest codes with local amendments to ensure that buildings and structures in Gilroy will safeguard the public's health, safety, and general welfare.
POLICY DISCUSSION
This Ordinance adopts standardized codes and local amendments, fostering sound governance to ensure health and safety.
BACKGROUND
Every three years, the International Codes (model codes) are updated, revised, and published. Corresponding to the publishing of these model codes , the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) amends and adopts the model codes as the California Building Standards Code.
Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, also referred to as the California Building Standards Code, governs the design and construction of buildings and associated facilities and equipment throughout California. It is updated and published on a triennial basis by the California Building Standards Commission by order of the California legislature. This regular update is referred to as a “code cycle.” Each code cycle update improves safety, sustainability, and resiliency, and incorporates new technology, design, and construction methods. Throughout each code adoption cycle, amendments to the codes are developed through an extensive public participation process. Gilroy staff serves on two of the six Code Advisory Committees for the California Building Standards Commission. In July 2022, the CBSC published the 2022 edition of the California Building Standards Code, making this year a code adoption year.
The building regulations in the California Building Standards Code have the same force of law and take effect 180 days after their publication. On January 1, 2023, the 2022 California Building Standards Code will become effective statewide. This 2022 Code has prompted jurisdictions statewide to adopt the new code and complete local amendments as necessary.
11.2 Packet Pg. 125
In accordance with California Health and Safety Code, a city may establish more restrictive building standards than those in the California Building Standards Code if the city makes an express finding that each amendment is reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions.
ANALYSIS
As part of the triennial code adoption cycle, and pur suant to California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958 and 18941.5, staff recommends that the City of Gilroy adopt the 2022 California Building Standards Code. The parts of the 2022 California Building Standards Code that are included in this proposed a doption ordinance are: The California Building Code, Residential Code, Electrical Code, Mechanical Code, Plumbing Code, Energy Code, Historical Building Code, and Existing Building Code.
In addition to the California codes, staff proposes adopting the Int ernational Property Maintenance Code and Swimming Pool and Spa Code.
Staff also proposes several local amendments be adopted as part of the code adoption.
Staff participates in regional efforts in reviewing and developing local amendments. The amendments along with the findings that support them are included in the proposed ordinance. If approved, the Building Official will file a copy of this ordinance with the California Building Standards Commission.
Building Code
The 2022 California Building Code is proposed to be adopted by reference. A close examination of the current and prior California Building Code and Municipal Code was performed. One set of amendments is made to the administrative portion to clarify that fees will be assessed per the locally adopted comprehensive fee schedule and that the plan review fees shall be paid at the time of submitting plans and before review. Another set of amendments is to parallel the sprinkler system amendments to the Fire Code by the Fire Prevention team. Another amendment is to require higher classification roof covering for hillside construction to address a local climatic condition. Higher classification roof covering is effective against higher fire -test exposure. The recent fire danger in the hillside makes this local amendment important. Another amendment is made to implement more stringent special inspection requirements for spread concrete footings due to the expansive (clay) soils and seismic activity common to this geological area. Another amendment is to implement more stringent foundation requirements, again to address the expansive (clay) soils and seismic activity common to this geological area. Provisions already addressed in the referenced codes are deleted. All design methods, such as national standards and all materials allowed under the California Building Code, are amended to be permitted in Gilroy.
Residential Code; Mechanical Code; Plumbing Code; Energy Code; Historical Building Code; and Existing Building Code
11.2 Packet Pg. 126
The Residential, Mechanical, Plumbing, Energy, Historical Building, and Existing Building Codes are proposed to be adopted by reference in the ordinance.
Electrical Code
The 2022 California Electrical Code is proposed to be adopted by reference with three local amendments. First, all new electrical services are required to be underground. As some buildings in Gilroy are located in high-wind areas, amending the code to eliminate overhead services that are inherently less safe in the event of disasters will provide a higher level of safety. Second, amending the Electrical Code to require the disconnects of electrical power for each building to be in a readily accessible location on the first floor will provide a quicker means of finding the main power disconnects in a seismic, fire, or another emergency event. Third, requiring grounding systems in new buildings to be an electrode encased in concrete allows significantly higher assurances that the grounding of the building's electrical system will not deteriorate and fail due to the acidic and expansive properties of local soils. Providing equipment grounding conductors enhances the capability of keeping electrical systems grounded, which is important in high-amperage electrical services.
Property Maintenance Code and Swimming Pool and Spa Code
In addition to the California codes, the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) and the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) are proposed to be included in the code adoption. Staff determined that the inclusion of the ISPSC is needed and deemed appropriate as it contains more detailed provisions regarding the plumbing and mechanical elements and is in line with the California Codes. The IPMC is proposed to be adopted again and deemed needed and appropriate because the Gilroy Municipal Code and the State's Health and Safety Code do not have the requirements for property maintenance and housing habitability in the IPMC.
The California Green Building Standards Code is being adopted under a separate ordinance due to the introduction of local amendments known as "reach codes" as part of the adoption of these codes.
Adopting the new 2022 codes will ensure that buildings and structures in Gilroy will safeguard the public's health, safety, and general welfare. Therefore, staff recommends that the Council introduce the proposed ordinance adopting the new codes with amendments and set a public hearing on November 21, 2022. This timeline will allow notice of the public hearing to be published once a week for two successive weeks pursuant to Government Code Section 6066. The new codes with any approved local amendments will become effective on January 1, 2023.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may adopt the new codes without any of the amendments; adopt the new codes with only a portion of the amendments; or adopt the new codes with
11.2 Packet Pg. 127
modifications to the amendments. Staff does not recommend these actions. Without the complete code adoption with amendments, the base code would provide only the minimum standards without considering local conditions in Gilroy.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
There is no direct cost to the City for adopting the Codes.
CONCLUSION
The adoption of building codes by reference with local amendments provides for an increased level of health and safety for Gilroy residents and businesses.

Reason for amendment: Geological II.
(b) Amendments to the Residential Code
(1) Adopt the following Appendix:
Appendix K – Sound Transmission
(c) Amendments to the Electrical Code
(1) Amend Section 230.2 by adding subsection (F) to read as follows:
230.2(F). Underground Service. All new electrical services shall be underground and installed per Section 230.30, Underground Service-Lateral Conductors. In existing commercial and industrial areas, existing overhead utilities shall be placed underground in connection with new development. In existing residential areas of the city in which development has occurred with overhead utilities in or along the frontage of properties, existing utilities shall be placed underground in connection with the development or redevelopment of property consisting of four (4) or more dwelling units.
Reason for amendment: Section is amended to require undergrounding for new electrical services. Section is also amended to remain consistent with the Gilroy Municipal code Chapter 21 Section 21.114 titled Undergrounding required with new streets and development. Many buildings in Gilroy are located in high wind areas. Due to this local climatic condition, amending the Code to provide for elimination of overhead services that are inherently less safe in the event of windstorms will provide a higher level of safety.
(2) Amend Section 230.70(A) by adding subsection (4) to read as follows:

(4) Main Service Disconnect Location. The building main service disconnect and/or disconnects shall be installed on the first-floor level of the building, in accordance with 230.70(A)(l), (A)(2), and (A)(3).
Reason for amendment: Quick access to the buildings main service disconnect is critical for emergency services. This amendment provides a quicker means of finding the location of the main power disconnects to buildings in the event of seismic events and other emergencies. This critical as Gilroy is located in an area of high seismic activities.
(3) Amend Section 250.50 by adding subsection (A) to read as follows:
Main 250.50(A). Grounding System in New Buildings. Grounding electrode systems in all new buildings shall be an electrode encased by at least 50 mm (two inches) of concrete, located horizontally near the bottom or vertically, and within that portion of a concrete foundation or footing that is in direct contact with earth. The electrode shall consist of at least 6.0 m (20 feet) of one or more steel reinforcing bars or rods, of not less than 13 mm (½ inch) diameter or consisting of at least 6.0 m (20 feet) of bare copper conductor not smaller than 4 AWG. The connection side of this concrete-encased electrode shall be located remotely away from the main electrical service equipment.
Reason for amendment: Amending the Code allows significantly higher assurances that the grounding of the building electrical system will not deteriorate and fail due to the properties of local soils. Other types of grounding, such as rods, maybe subject to deterioration in local soils, whereas an encased electrode will not be in contact with the soils.
Providing a concrete-encased electrode enhances the capability of keeping electrical systems grounded, which is important for electrical services in the City of Gilroy. (4) Adopt the following Annex:
Annex A – Product Safety Standards
Annex B – Application Information for Ampacity Calculation Annex C – Conduit, Tubing, and Cable Tray Fill Tables for Conductors and Fixture Wires of the Same Size
Annex D – Examples
Annex F – Availability for Critical Operations Power Systems; and Development and Implementation of Functional Performance Tests (FPTs) for Critical Operations Power Systems
(d) Amendments to the Mechanical Code
(1) Adopt no amendments.
