RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council:

A. Adopt Resolution No. 23-__, entitled, “A Resolution of the City Coun cil of the City of Goleta, California, Terminating the Local Emergency Declared by the City as a Result of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Rescinding City Legislation Related to the COVID -19 Pandemic.”
B. Adopt Resolution No 23- ___, entitled, “A Resolution of the City Co uncil of the City of Goleta, California, Terminating the Local Emergency Proclaimed by the Director of Emergency Services on January 9, 2023, and Ratified on January 13, 2023.”

BACKGROUND
A. COVID-19 Pandemic
In late 2019, an acute respiratory illness caus ed by a nov el (new) coronavirus, known as COVID-19, began to spread globally and rapidly, resulting in severe illness and death around the world. The World Health Organization (“WHO”) described COVID -19 as a global pandemic. The WHO reports that to date the disease has caused over 6 million deaths worldwide.

The California Emergency Services Act (“CESA”) (Government Code section 8550, et seq.) authorizes the proclamation of a local emergency when conditions of disaster or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the territorial limits of a City exist.

Similarly, s ection 2.10.040(A)(1) of the Goleta Municipal Code empowers the City Manager, acting as Director of Emergency Services to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a local emergency when the City is affected or likely to be aff ected by a public calamity and the City Council is not in session, subject to ratification by the Ci ty Council within seven (7) days.
1 65266.00001\41009109.1
2 On March 4, 2020, California Governor, Gavin Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency in response to COVID -19. On March 1 2, 2020, the Santa Barbara County Public Health Officer declared a local and public health emergency in response to COVID -19. The City Manager, acting as Director of Emergency Services, proclaimed a local emergency as a result of the COVID-19 virus on March 14, 2020. The proclamation was ratified by the City Council on March 17, 2020.

Pursuant to his authority as Director of Emergency Services and in the event of a proclamation of a local emergency, the City Manager is empowered to among other things, “Make and issue regulations on matters reasonably related to the protection of life and property as affected by such emergency, provided however, such rules and regulations must be confirmed at the e arliest pra cticable time by the City Council .” (GMC sectio n

2.10.040(A)(6)(a).)
Normally, the City Council of the City of Goleta must review the need for continuing the local emergency at least once every 60 days until it terminates the local emergency. (Gov.

Code, § 8630.) However, under Governor Newsom’s stat e of emergency proclamation issued on March 4, 2020, the 60 -day time period in Government Code section 8630 was waived for the duration of the statewide emergency. As such, the City’s local emerge ncy proclamation will remain in effect until the City Council terminates its local emergency.

B. January Storm 2023
On January 9, 2023, the City Manager, acting in the capacity of Director of Emergency Services, proclaimed a local emergency due to conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property caused by storms and flooding. The City Council ratified the proclamation on January 13, 2023.

DISCUSSION
A. COVID-19 Pandemic
Staff recommends that the City Council of the City of Goleta (“City”) adopt a resolution to terminate the local emergency declared as a result of the COVID -19 pandemic and repeal any official actions tied to the local emergency.

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that the COVID -19 state of emergency will end on February 28, 2023. The announcement was made on October 17, 2022, months before the termination date, to allow time for the health care sy stem and state and local partners to prepare for this phase-out.

Although, the nature of COVID -19 continues to remain in flux , the State of California , County of Santa Barbara, and the City have successfully developed infrastructure to effectively combat t he spread of the disease that have transformed a once crisis -level event into a manageable situation.

Pursuant to Californi a Government Code section 8630(d), the City Council shall proclaim the termination of the local emergency at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant.

Since the proclamation of a local emergency in response to COVID -19 was issued by the City, the City Council has adopted emergency measures that strived to ensure the safety and well-being of the community.
2 65266.00001\41009109.1
3 The public healt h community’s response to mitigating the spread of COVID -19 has changed over time in response to the fluctuating presence of the disease. Fortunately, the State and County are currently experiencing a significant decrease in confirmed cases, test positivity rates, and related hospitalizations. In fact, California’s death rate as a result of COVID -19 is the lowest amongst large states. A dditionally, COVID -19 vaccines and boosters are now widely available, and vaccination rates are increasing. Most busine sses are operating as normal and the County has reduced the number of restrictions countywide in response to current conditio ns. As such, the City’s COVID-19 orders and resolutions are no longer necessary to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

Existing COVID-19 Emergency Related Actions
Staff reviewed prior official actions that are tied to the COVID -19 proclamation of local emergency and recommends the following:

1. Executive Order No. 20 -01, Suspending Duration Limit of Recreational Vehicle Parking Associat ed with Conditional Use Permit (No. 18 -124-CUP AM) at Elks Lodge Located at 150 N. Kellogg Ave.

Emergency Executive Order No.20-01 was issued on April 4, 2020. The order was ratified by the City Council on April 21, 2020 via Resolution No. 20-25.

This order temporarily suspended provisions of Conditional Use Permit No. 18 -124- CUPAM which limited recreational vehicle parking to Elks Lodge members for a maximum of 14 consecutive days to allow RV owners whom utilize their RV’s as their primary residence and who had to vacate parking lots where were closed by the State and other local governments, to occupy spaces at the Elks Lodge parking lot for a period in excess of 14 consecutive days. Th e duration of this order is tied to the duration of the City’s loc al emergency declared in response to COVID-19.

This order is no longer necessary because staff has confirmed that Elks Lodge members who utilize their recreational vehicles as their primary residence are no not using the available parking spaces for 14 c onsecutive days. Staff recommends that this order be rescinded.

2. Executive Order No. 20-02, Implementing Construction Safety Measures to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19.

Emergency Executive Order No. 20-02 was issued on April 24, 2020 . The order was ratified by the City Council on May 5, 2020 via Resolution No. 20-28.

This executive order implemented mandatory social distancing and public health measures intended to prevent the spread of COVID -19 in the constr uction industry, which includes, but is not limited to face coverings, social distancing requirements, and frequent handwashing and sanitizing of shared tools. This order remains effective until the earlier to occur of: (1) the conclusion of the City’s local emergency declared in response to COVID-19; (2) its termination is ordered by Director of Emergency Services ; or (3) the order is terminated by the City Council.
3 65266.00001\41009109.1
4 This order contains provisions that are no longer needed and staff is recommending that the order be rescinded.

3. Executive Order No. 20-04, Suspending Part of Resolution 20 -18 to Allow for the Opening of Tennis and Pickleball Courts Within City Limits.

Emergency Executive Order No. 20-04 was issued on May 7, 2020. The order was ratified by the City Council on May 19, 2020 via Resolution No. 20-31.

This order reopened public access to the City’s tennis and pickleball courts subject to social distancing and public health requirements issued by Santa Barbara County Public Health (“SBCPH”). This order remains effective until the earlier to occur of: (1) the conclusion of the City’s local emergency declared in response to COVID -19; (2) its termination is ordered by Director of Emergency Services; or (3) the order is terminated by the City Council.

This order contains provis ions that are no longer in effect and that are no longer needed and staff is recommending that the order be rescinded.

4. Resolution No. 20-35, Suspending Zoning and Development Permit Requirements for Open -Air Spaces and Parking Lots on Private Property an d Adopting an Emergency Expanded Restaurant Dining and Other Uses Program.

The City Council adopted Resolution No. 20-35 on June 2, 2020.The resolution temporarily suspended zoning and development permit requirements for open -air spaces and parking lots on private property and adopting an e mergency expanded restaurant dining and other uses program allowing restaurants and other businesses as they are allowed to re-open by the State and County Public Health Officer to temporarily operate within open-air spaces and parking lot on private property. The Program has allowed restaurants and other uses such as, retail businesses, fitness classes and yoga, and faith-based gatherings to expand their operations, provided they obtain Temporary Use Area Expansion Permit, and meet all program requirements and all local and state mandates for operations and physical distancing.

Nearly half of the only 15 program participants have ceased using the allowable outdoor dining area for their business. T itle 17 of the City’s Municipal Code has, subject to certain requirements set forth therein, historically allowed for the outdoor operation of a business .

Given that State and local health orders which ordered the immediate closure of certain businesses, and later allowed th em to gradually reopen with limited capacity and other restrictions are no longer in effect, the program is no longer needed. This resolution is no longer necessary and staff is recommending its rescission . Planning staff will provide each outstanding permitee with 30 -days notice of the termination of each p ermit. Planning and Building staff have con ferred and verified that 30 day s are sufficient for a business to hire the services necessary to break down temporary dining facilities.

5. Executive Order No. 20-06, Amending the Emergency Expanded Restaurant Dining and Other Uses Program to Allow Hair Salons. Barbershops and Personal Care Services to Operate Outdoors During COVID-19.

For the same reasons recommending the rescission of Resolution No. 20 -35, staff recommends that this order be rescinded because it contains provisions that are no longer in effect and that are no longer needed.

The City’s Temporary Moratorium on the Eviction and Foreclosures of Co mmercial and Residential Tenants

The City adopted Resolution No. 20 -18 on March 17, 2020, which among other things, placed a temporary moratorium on the evictions for non -payment of rent by commercial and residential tenants impacted by COVID -19. Thereaf ter, the City adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 20-07U on April 21, 2020, which continued and amended provisions of the temporary moratorium on evictions for commercial and residential t enants and also placed a temporary moratorium on the foreclosure on residential and commercial foreclosures.

Different provisions of the ordinance expired upon the expiration of California Governor, Gavin Newso m’s Executive Order N -28-20 and its subsequent amending orders (“Executive Orders”). Pursuant to these Executive Ord ers, the City’s commercial eviction and foreclosure protections expired on June 30, 2020, and its residential eviction protections on September 30, 2020.

The State and County’s “stay at home” orders have been lifted and the COVID -19 crisis is today a man ageable, though still serious, threat to health and safety . The State declaration of emergency in response to COVID -19 is als o scheduled t o terminate 6 65266.00001\41009109.1
7 February 28, 2023. Staff therefore recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution to ter minate the City’s local emergency in response to COVID -19 and repeal emergency measures identified above. (Attachment A)
B. January 2023 Storm
The law requires the City Council to periodically review the need for continuing the local emergency and to proclaim the termination of the local emergency at the earliest possible date that the conditions warrant. The Director of Emergency Services has reported on the actions taken in response to the local emergency and has advised that it is not necessary to continue the local emergency. The City will continue to seek to recover costs and may continue to exercise authority under any federal , state, or c ounty emergency or disaster declaration arising from or related to the storms and floods that gave rise to the City’s declaration of local emergency. Staff therefore recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution to terminate t he City’s loc al emergency in response to the January 2023 storm.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This attached Resolutions are exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant t o State CEQA Guidelines because there is no possibility that this Resolution or its implementation would have a significant negative effect on the environment. (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)(A).) Here, it can be seen with certainty that there is n o possibility that the Resolution s may have a signific ant effect on the environment because the Resolutions terminate (1) the local emergency declared by the City in response to the COVID -19 pandemic and rescinds related legislation and (2) the local emergency declared by the City in response to the J anuary 2 023 storm. The Resolutions will not result in any development or in any new activity with the potential to impact the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

ALTERNATIVES
None since the conditions justifying the declarations of local emergency and associated legislation no longer exist.

GOLETA TERMINATING THE LOCAL EMERGENCY DECLARED BY
THE CITY AS A RESULT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND
RESCINDING LEGISLATION RELATED TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC The City Council of the City of Goleta does hereby find, order and resolve as follows:

SECTION 1. Recitals.

A. The California Emergency Services Act (“CESA”)(Government Code section 8550, et seq.), authorizes the proclamation of a local emergency when conditions of disaster or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the territorial limits of a city exist.

B. In late 2019, an acute respiratory illness caused by a novel (new) coronavirus, known as COVID -19, began to spread globally and rapidly, resulting in severe illness and death around the world. The World Health Organization (“WHO”) described COVID-19 as a global pandemic. The WHO reports that to date the disease has caused over 6 million deaths worldwide.

C. In early 2020, and in response to the increased spread of COVID -19, the California Governor and Santa Barbara County (“County”) along with many other public entities in the state declared a state of emergency pursuant to CESA.

D. Section 2.10.040(A)(1) of the City of Goleta (“City”) Municipal Code empowers the City Manager, acting as Director of Emergency Services to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a local emergency when the City is affected or likely to be affected by a public calamity and the City Council is not in session, subject to ratification by the City Council within seven days.

E. The City Manager, acting as Director of Emergency Services, proclaimed a local emergency as a result of the COVID-19 virus on March 14, 2020. The proclamation was ratified by the City Council on March 17, 2020.

G. Normally, the City must review the need for continuing the local emergency at least once every sixty (60) days until it terminates the local emergency. (Gov. Code, § 8630.) However, under Governor Newsom’s state of emergency proclamation issued on March 4, 2020, the 60-day time period in Government Code section 8630 was waived for the duration of the statewide emergency. As such, the City’s local emergency has remained in effect until the City terminates its local emergency. 10 65266.00001\40982606.1
H. The public health community’s response to mitigating the spread of COVID- 19 has changed over time in response to the fluctuating presence of the disease.

Fortunately, the State and County are currently experiencing a significant decrease in confirmed cases, test positivity rates, an d related hospitalizations. In fact, California’s death rate as a result of COVID -19 is the lowest amongst large states. Additionally, COVID-19 vaccines and boosters are now widely available, and vaccination rates are increasing. Most businesses are ope rating as normal and Santa Barbara County has reduced the number of restrictions countywide in response to current conditions.

I. California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that the COVID-19 state of emergency will end on February 28, 2023. The announcement was made on October 17, 2022, months before the termination date, to allow time for the health care system and state and local partners to prepare for this phase-out.

J. The nature of COVID -19 continues to remain in flux. However the State, County and City have successfully developed infrastructure to effectively combat the spread of the disease that have transformed a once crisis even t into a manageable situation.

K. Pursuant to California Government Code section 8630(d), the City Council shall proclaim the te rmination of the local emergency at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant.

L. The City Council desires to proclaim the termination the local emergency declared in the City in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and rescind specified related orders and resolutions.
