• The month of May was a busy one for the GYC not only were they busy with finals, some were preparing to graduate while others were working to organize the mental health forum held on May 26th at Gonzales High School. The Forum went great, especially for it being their first one.

There was great dialogue with teachers and professionals regarding the effects of mental health and the pandemic and potential ways to continue supporting youth. The students also presented the data they collected on the second irritation of the mental health survey and their findings and are preparing to conduct another presentation to the School Board and the Gonzales City Council at their next joint meeting in August.

• GYC member Valeria Tinoco was highlighted in the news for being one of five youth nationwide to receive a Mental Health Awareness Scholarship by the National Society of High School Scholars. She received it after submitting an essay describing the work she was part of through the Mental Health Action Project.

Community Engagement
• In May, the Gonzales Community Health Workers continued to support the food distributions, they also supported the Cinco de Mayo festivities and helped spread the word about the Housing Element survey.
• In May, they also held the last two classes of the healthy cooking demonstrations. They continued to be a hit and had a great turnout. The children and their families really enjoyed them, and the school is now interested in partnering on them. They want to host more for their students to encourage healthy eating.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council Adopt Resolution No. 2023-36. A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Awarding a Master Services Agreement to Schaaf & Wheeler for Engineering Services for the Johnson Canyon Water Main Project.

BACKGROUND
The city operates a community water system serving residents, commercial businesses, and industrial facilities, with 1,968 metered service connections. Water supply is from four active water wells and the city has three water storage tanks with a total of 7.0 million gallons of storage. Water demand has increased as businesses were added to the Industrial Business Park. The City’s water production has increased from 1,400 acre-feet/year (AFY) in 2015 (about 1.25 million gallons per day (mgd)) to 2,000 AFY in 2022 (about 1.8 mgd).

Kimley-Horn prepared the Existing City Plus Sphere of Influence Water Master Plan for the city in 2019.

The Kimley-Horn study includes the City’s Sphere of Influence (SOI) at build-out, which was previously modeled by AECOM in 2011. The system model was skeletonized, meaning it included only the major pipelines and omitted the smaller distribution system pipes. The skeletonized system is adequate for assessing the major system components needed to support the build-out of the SOI (new, wells, tanks and transmission mains). The model did not include sufficient detail to assess issues within the existing distribution system. Over the last year, city staff engaged Schaaf & Wheeler to update the Water Model to add the Rianda Cooler Project and DR Horton’s proposed residential project on the D’Arrigo parcel within the city limits. Schaaf & Wheeler also updated the Water Capital Improvement Program for use in the Water/Sewer Rate Study that is underway.

AGENDA
ITEM
12 Packet Pg. 32
From the updated water model, it was determined that water flow from the water tanks to the distribution system is constricted. The city has 7.0 million gallons of water storage, but the tanks are connected to the city water system by a single 12-inch water main which is about 7,000-ft long. The maximum capacity of the pipeline is 2,500 gpm, and less if a well is operating and pressurizing the distribution system. This single 12-inch pipeline is undersized to deliver fire flows or contribute water flow during peak hour.

Based on the modeling, a parallel 18-inch main in Johnson Canyon Road is needed to support the existing customers and build-out of the industrial park.

REVIEW & ANALYSIS
Staff requested Schaaf & Wheeler to provide a proposal for engineering services related to the design and construction of a parallel water main to the storage tanks at the intersection of Johnson Canyon Road/Iverson Road. Their June 6, 2023 letter proposal is attached. Their not-to-exceed fee for design services is $107,500 and an additional $19,000 for engineering support during construction.

Schaaf & Wheeler is on the city’s on-call consultant list as approved at the February 6, 2023 City Council Meeting. Over the last three years, Schaaf & Wheeler has provided excellent engineering services on several city projects. They have an office in Salinas and provide consultant services to numerous cities and water/sewer districts in the Monterey Bay region.

Therefore, City staff recommends awarding a Master Services Agreement to Schaaf & Wheeler for engineering services related to the design and construction of a parallel water main to the storage tanks at the intersection of Johnson Canyon Road/Iverson Road. The attached letter proposal from Schaaf & Wheeler is Task Order #01 for design of water line at a not to-exceed fee of $115,000 which includes a $7,500 contingency. Task Order #02 for design support during construction will be authorized when the construction contract is awarded.

How Recommendation Supports the Vision
Gonzales will continue to be a safe, clean, family-friendly community, diverse in its heritage, and committed to working collaboratively to preserve and retain its small-town charm.

Explain: Improving the operation of the city’s water system supports our vision to provide the needed water flows for commercial and industrial facilities.

4 1 OVERVIEW AND INTENTION

1.1 WATER CODE SECTION 10632 - WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN The City of Gonzales is responsible for conserving available water supply and protecting the integrity of public water system (PWS) supply facilities, and implementing a contingency plan in times of drought, with particular regard for domestic water use, sanitation, and fire protection, to protect and preserve public health, welfare, and safety and to minimize the adverse impacts of water supply shortage or other water supply emergency conditions, that do not include recycled water.

The City has developed a water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSC Plan) in accordance with California Water Code (CWC) Section 10632. Senate Bill 552 (2021) requires small water suppliers serving 1,000 to 2,999 service connections and no transient noncommunity (NTNC) schools to have a water shortage contingency plan. The required water shortage contingency plan is an abridged version of urban water management plans mandated for completion by urban water suppliers every 5 years.

This WSC plan outlines the shortage response actions that will be implemented in the City in the event of water supply shortages due to catastrophic events, drought, etc. The WSC Plan’s purpose is to provide a plan of action to be followed at various levels of water shortage in order to balance demand with constrained supply.

The WSC Plan supports and builds on the City of Gonzales conservation plan (Municipal Code

10.04.130 b.) to meet the CWC requirements. This WSA Plan and the Mandatory Water Conservation Regulations will be informed and enacted through the annual water supply and demand assessment. Additionally, this WSC Plan outlines the shortage response actions the city may take to balance demand with constrained supplies.

In addition, the Water Shortages and Service Interruptions of the Mandatory Water Conservation Regulations declares, “The City shall exercise reasonable diligence to provide continuous and adequate water service to consumers and to avoid any shortage or interruption of delivery of water; provided, that the City may suspend water service temporarily to make necessary repairs and improvements to the municipal water system.” It also states, “During any period of threatened or actual water shortage, the city may apportion its available water among customers in such a manner that is most equitable under circumstances then prevailing and with due regard to public health and safety.”
This WSC Plan provides the strategic responses the city may take if a water shortage is declared to conserve and manage precious water resources that are essential to maintain public health and community vitality.

1.2 PRINCIPLES OF THE CITY’S WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN The overall principle of the City’s WSC Plan is to maintain reliability to meet the water demand during shortages caused by supply interruptions, reductions, or allocations as well as respond to emergency conditions. The WSC Plan recognizes the following priorities for potable water:
• Public Safety, health, and welfare
• Economic sustainability
• Quality of life for City customers
• Statutory and regulatory requirements
Packet Pg. 84
Attachment: Water Shortage Contingency Plan (2753 : Resolution No. 2023-42 Water Shortage Contingency Plan) City of Gonzales
Water Shortage Contingency Plan
5 The domestic water use regulated and/or prohibited under this WSC plan is considered to be nonessential, or discretionary, use. Water code 106 established that domestic use of water is the highest use of water and that the next highest use is for irrigation. Continued use of non-essential water during times of water shortage or emergency supply conditions is deemed to constitute a waste of water and may be subject to citations, monetary assessments and fines or appropriate surcharges as described in section 7 of this plan.

The city prides itself in working with the community it serves such that the intent and goal in implementing the contents of the WSC Plan is to conserve water resources and generate the greatest benefit for the City’s water customers during times of drought, and water shortages. In the most recent drought of 2012-2017, the city was mandated to reduce water use by 24 percent by the State of California. The city was able to achieve its target water conservation through communication with its customers. This WSC builds on lessons learned during challenges of the 2012-2017 drought and the strategic community partnerships established through years of providing water and wastewater services to its customers.

2. BASIN WATER SUPPLY RELIABILITY
The City provides water service to the community of Gonzales through the operation of four wells.

Three wells have the capacity to pump 1200-1500 gallons per minute (gpm) and a firm capacity of 1200 gpm. The City also has one well that produces 900-1000 gpm. The capacity is sufficient for all areas within the existing city limits and within some designated areas for growth. The city has been proactive with respect to improving and developing its water supply system.

The city obtains its water supply from the Central Salinas Valley Groundwater Basin. The City is a part of three sub basins, the 180/400, East side and a small portion of the Forebay sub basin. This basin is not adjudicated and provides water for growers, municipalities, and other municipal and industrial users in the Salinas Valley. The city continues to work with the Monterey County Water Resource agency in developing plans to coordinate and encourage preservation of the Basin aquifers.

The main groundwater inflows into the subbasin are (1) the percolation of precipitated and applied agricultural irrigation water and (2) streambed recharge. Groundwater pumping is the predominate groundwater outflow. The smaller outflow terms are evapotranspiration, discharge to streams, and subsurface outflows to adjacent sub basins.

Infiltration in the Salinas River Channel is the principal source of groundwater recharge for the Basin.

The recharge area is believed to end at a point between Chular and the City of Salinas. Both natural runoff and conservation releases from the Nacimiento and San Antonio reservoirs, operated by the Monterey County Water Resource Agency, contribute to the flow in the Salinas River. Infiltration from smaller tributaries that drain the highland areas also provide recharge to the basin. The down-valley movement of this subsurface water is essential to the containment of saltwater intrusion into the pressure subarea.

Projected sustainable yield is the long-term pumping that can be sustained once all undesirable results have been addressed. However, it is not the amount of pumping needed to stop undesirable results before sustainability is reached. The Salinas Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency (SVBGSA) recognizes that, depending on the success of various proposed projects and management actions, there may be some years when pumping must be held at a lower level to achieve necessary Packet Pg. 85
Attachment: Water Shortage Contingency Plan (2753 : Resolution No. 2023-42 Water Shortage Contingency Plan) City of Gonzales
Water Shortage Contingency Plan
6 rises in groundwater elevation. The actual amount of allowable pumping from the sub basin will be adjusted in the future based on the success of projects and management actions.

To retain consistency with the historical sustainable yield, projected sustainable yield can be estimated by summing all the average groundwater extractions and subtracting the average change in storage. This represents the change in pumping that results in no change storage, assuming no other projects or management actions are implemented. Chapter 6 of the Salinas Valley: 180/400, East side, and Forebay Groundwater Sustainability Plans (Chapter 6), shows the projected yield estimates. These results indicate that projected future sustainable yield in the 180/400 and Forebay Sub basin’s can be managed within its sustainable yield in the future. The East Side sub basin is reduced by 10,000 AF/yr. due to change in storage. The sustainable yield value will be updated in future GSP updates as more data is collected and additional analyses are conducted.

Groundwater demands in the subbasins are classified into the following water use sectors, consistent with GSP Regulations: urban/industrial, agricultural, and native vegetation. Agriculture, including grazing land, is the largest water use sector in the Subbasins, representing at least 90 percent of the Subbasin water consumption. The Water Resources Agency reports that there has not been an instance of overdraft in the Forebay Subarea since it began groundwater measurement in the 1950’s.

The 180/400 Sub Basin is in critical overdraft as of the 2021 annual report, and the East side sub basin is in minor overdraft and sustainability is possible with a 10,000 AF/yr. reduction. 3 WATER SHORTAGE LEVELS

3.1 SIX STANDARD WATER SHORTAGE LEVELS
As required by CWC Section 10632(a)(3)(A), the WSC Plan is framed around six standard water shortage levels(stages) that represent shortages from the normal reliability as determined in the Annual Assessment.

The six water shortage levels have been standardized by the CWC to provide a consistent regional and statewide approach to conveying the relative severity of water supply shortage conditions. The six standard shortage levels correspond to progressively increasing estimated shortage conditions (up to 10,20, 30, 40, 50 and greater that 50 percent water shortages) and align with the response actions the City may implement to meet a declared water shortage or emergency.

The levels will be implemented during water supply shortages or regional drought conditions that may or may not directly influence the City’s water supplies. The City Council will make the level of determination and declaration of a water supply shortage.

For example, if the Annual Assessment determines a shortage of 17 percent, the city would then be in a moderate water shortage level 2. Water shortage levels also apply to catastrophic interruption of water supplies, including but not limited to regional power outages, earthquakes, and other emergency events.

Table 3-1 lists the six water shortage levels and associated conditions, demand reduction goals, and action types. Details on water supply conditions applicable to each level, herein referred to as “triggering mechanisms” are discussed on the following pages.

5 40-50% Critical Minimum 40%-50% Mandatory
6 >50% Catastrophic More than 50% Mandatory

3.2 TRIGGERING MECHANISMS FOR SHORTAGE LEVELS
The six water shortage levels represent an ever-increasing gap between normal available supplies and normal expected customer demands to be addressed through appropriate local water shortage response actions.

The Basin is currently the most important source of water for the City of Gonzales. The foremost concern in developing appropriate triggers is achieving the maximum practical protection of an adequate long-term water supply of acceptable quality for the city water customers. To that end, triggering mechanisms should be tied to factors that, directly or indirectly, have the greatest potential effect on the quality and quantity of available ground water.

The two general types of threats most likely to cause the City to experience water shortages:

1. Unanticipated catastrophic system failure due to earthquake, terrorist attack or sudden contamination of the water supply, or

2. Chronic system threat, such as Nitrate Maximum Contaminate Level exceedance requiring impacted wells be removed from service.

In the case of catastrophic failure, the City will assess the nature and extent of the failure, and the City Manager will identify the appropriate water shortage level in accordance with the City’s Emergency Operating Plan, including enacting emergency ordinances as may be required by the City Counsel.

A chronic system threat to the City’s present water supplies is Nitrate contamination, which has occurred along the Salinas Valley in response to historical agricultural activities of fertilization of fields. Although Nitrate contamination has not yet affected deep sones of the Basin, which is the source of supply for Gonzales active wells, it is possible that continued extractions in the deeper aquifers could lead to contamination of these water supplies.

The City Manager and/or City Council may impose any of the following shortage levels based upon facts and circumstances that may not have been otherwise anticipated in this plan.

The City will implement an appropriate water shortage level based on current water conditions.

Higher levels will be implemented as shortages continue and/or if customer response does not bring about desired water savings. Restrictions, penalties, and enforcement will build on each other as higher shortage levels are implemented.

Packet Pg. 87
Attachment: Water Shortage Contingency Plan (2753 : Resolution No. 2023-42 Water Shortage Contingency Plan) City of Gonzales
Water Shortage Contingency Plan
8 For all water shortage levels, further triggering also may occur due to prolonged drought conditions and a need to focus public attention on water conservation. It may also occur based on detection of a statistically significant increase in nitrate concentrations or VOC concentrations but where such concentrations do not threaten to exceed the CDPH “upper level” primary drinking water standard. 4 WATER SHORTAGE RESPONSE ACTIONS

4.1 HISTORY AND OVERVIEW OF SHORTAGE RESPONSE ACTIONS
In previous droughts and potential water supply shortages, the city has worked collaboratively with the community and the water management agencies it partners with to implement pragmatic solutions to respond to water supply challenges. The WSC Plan continues this tradition of taking an adaptive management approach to its response at all water shortage levels. In any given water shortage level, the city will actively monitor relevant supply and demand data inputs and performance indicators to adjust its response actions or intensity. As an example, the City can adaptively increase activity in public education and awareness to reduce demand. These approaches have been successful in past periods of water shortage without the use of fines or drought surcharges, which can be reserved for extreme cases.

The various supply and demand data inputs and performance indicators the City will rely on to assess and adjust the efficacy of shortage response actions taken include hydrologic conditions, basin water availability, local demands by customer class and water type, and any supplemental or transfer water the City may need to procure. In any given water shortage level, should there be a shift in available water supplies or in customer demand, the City will determine the severity of the change, factor in the existing water shortage condition, and then determine the appropriate response.

4.2 PERMANENT WATER CONSERVATION BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES The City’s Municipal Code 10.8 established a permanent water conservation Best Managements Practices, (BMP’s) that are in effect at all times in the City’s service area. The BMPs are intended to promote water conservation as a permanent way of life, even during years of normal or above normal precipitation and water supplies. The following is an abbreviated list of permanent BMPs for the Code.
• No spilling of water into streets, curbs, or gutters or to cause any runoff. • No using potable water through a hose to wash vehicles, clean exterior or any building, structure, or surface, unless the hose is equipped with an automatic shutoff nozzle. • No emptying and refilling of swimming pools/spas except to repair structural damage or complying with public health regulations.
• No use of potable water for construction activities where there is a reasonable available source of recycled or non-potable water available.
• The City shall maintain a distribution system leakage detection and repair program. • New construction shall have ultra-low-flow toilets, low flow showerheads, water recirculating systems and shall use drought tolerant landscaping principles. • Retrofit toilets and showerheads to ultra-low flow devices on change of ownership. • No indiscriminate running of water which is wasteful and without reasonable purpose. • Maintain irrigation of lawns and other turf areas in accordance with City and county ordinances.

Additionally, the City has operationalized water conservation in the various policies and practices, Packet Pg. 88
Attachment: Water Shortage Contingency Plan (2753 : Resolution No. 2023-42 Water Shortage Contingency Plan) City of Gonzales
Water Shortage Contingency Plan
9 and programs that contribute to ongoing structural water savings.

4.3 REQUIRED SHORTAGE RESPONSE ACTIONS
California Water Code Section 10632(a)(4) requires the WSC Plan to specify shortage response actions that align with the defined shortage levels, and include, at a minimum, all of the following:
• Locally appropriate supply augmentation actions.
• Locally appropriate demand reduction actions to adequately respond to shortages. • Locally appropriate operational changes.
• Additional, mandatory prohibitions against specific water use practices that are in addition to state-mandated prohibitions and appropriate to local conditions. • An estimate of the extent to which the gap between water supply and demand will be reduced by implementation of each action.

Shortage response actions included in this WSC Plan are a mix of prohibitions on end use, demand reduction methods, supply augmentation, and operational changes. The California Department of Water Resources (WDR) defines prohibitions on end use as measures to address areas that are the responsibility of end users, such as a broken sprinkler or leaking faucet.

Demand reduction methods are actions invoked by a water agency to reduce consumption, such as expanding public information campaigns and offering water use surveys.

Supply augmentation is defined as any action designed to increase the existing supply availability such as the use of emergency storage or acquiring additional transfer water. The City does not anticipate development of supply augmentation actions given that it is 100 percent dependent on a reliable source of groundwater.

Operational changes are defined as actions taken by the City to change the way in which existing supplies are used within its service area. Examples of operational change include reducing hydrant flushing or adjusting operations for sewer cline cleaning.

Motivated by the need to minimize disruption and costs, a priority for protecting customer end users of water emerges as shown in Table 4.1. These priorities guide how the City progressively implements water shortage response actions.

Table 4-1 Prioritized Water Uses

1. Health and Safety- interior residential and firefighting.

2. Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional- maintain economic base, protect jobs

3. Permanent Crops- requires over 5 years to replace or re-establish

4. Annual Crops- protect jobs, provide a community a food source

5. Landscaping- trees shrubs that provide more community benefit and value, along with turf grass for recreational sports fields
Packet Pg. 89

Water Shortage Contingency Plan
10 6. New demand- beyond construction projects already approved Shortage response actions from previous levels are assumed to remain in effect as the water shortage levels increase. The mix of shortage actions at any given level is designed to produce an additional 10 percent demand reduction above the previous level’s reduction. The following lists the combinations of shortage response actions associated with each of the WSC Plan shortage levels.

4.3.1 WATER SHORTAGE LEVEL 1- VOLUNTARY SHORTAGE WARNING The City shall declare a water shortage level 1- Water shortage Warning when it determines there is a water shortage, or threatened shortage, condition of up to 10 percent. Shortage response actions listed under this level emphasize the Permanent Water Conservation BMPs listed in the City’s Municipal Code. In addition, the following shortage response actions have been included in Level1- Water shortage Warning to elicit a voluntary customer demand reduction of up to 10%:

1. Public Awareness. The City will increase public awareness of, and messaging about, the water supply situation and call for voluntary conservation. a. Mail information to every customer and available potential water user customers on ways to conserve water and to improve water efficiency. b. Conduct a media campaign to remind customers of the need to save water. c. Publicize water efficiency programs available at the time, including low-flow showerheads, toilets, and other programs.

2. Encourage Voluntary Outdoor Water Efficiency. Customers will be encouraged to use water efficiently, particularly outdoors with efficient irrigation practices.

3. Obligation to fix leaks. Leaks, breaks, or other malfunctions in the water user’s plumbing or distribution system must be repaired within three working days of notification by the city unless other arrangements are made with the city.

4. Reinforce the Permanent Water Conservation BMP’s. Reinforce and promote the Permanent Water Conservation BMPs as provided in the City’s Municipal Code.

4.3.2 WATER SHORTAGE LEVEL 2–VOLUNTARY–MODERATE WATER SHORTAGE In addition to the actions listed in Level 1, the City shall perform the following shortage response action:

1. Voluntary reductions of up to 25% Call for voluntary reductions of up to 25% for each connection based on the average use during a base period proposed by the Water Quality Control Division and adopted by City Counsel.

4.3.3 WATER SHORTAGE LEVEL 3 – MANDATORY – SIGNIFICANT WATER SHORTAGE.

In addition to the actions listed in Levels 1 and 2, the City shall establish mandatory annual allotments for each connection based on the average use during a base period proposed by the Water Quality Division and adopted by the City Counsel. When Level 3 use reduction becomes necessary, administration and enforcement of water conservation rules becomes the major focus of the Water Quality Division. If necessary, additional temporary personnel may be hired and special meetings of the after Quality Division and /or City Council may be scheduled. Level 3 shortage response action are as follows:

Packet Pg. 90

11 • Water allotment. Each water service connection may receive an allotted quantity of water, typically specified in hundred cubic feet (hcf) units per billing cycle, as calculated by the Water Resource Manager.
• Emergency Ordinance. The City Council may pass an emergency ordinance increasing the customer water rates to ensure stable revenues for operation and maintenance of the City’s water system.
• Public Outreach efforts. The city may implement outreach efforts to increase community awareness, strategic messaging, and outreach for specific community groups and customer types.
• Special considerations. As individual customers are notified of allotments, requests for special consideration will be processed rapidly, efficiently, and fairly. Every application for variance must be heard, evaluated, and acted upon by the planning director as rapidly as possible. Every action by the City Manager shall be referred to the City Council for consideration. The procedures for variances are defined below. • Freeze on Building Permits and Meters. No building permits will be issued, or meters installed for new accounts that had not received building permits before Level 3- Significant water shortage declared.

4.4 CITY MANAGEMENT EMERGENCY DECLARATION
If the City Manager, or his/her designee, determines that a sudden event has, or threatens to, significantly diminish the reliability of quality of the City’s Water supply, the City Manager may declare a catastrophic water supply shortage and impose whatever emergency water allocation or conservations actions deemed necessary, in the City Manager’s professional judgement, to protect the reliability and quality of the City’s water supply until the emergency passes or the City takes action.

4.5 PROCESS FOR INITITATION/TERMINATION OF WATER SHORTAGE LEVEL Driven by the requirements outlined in the CWC Section 10632 and if demand for potable water is expected to be in excess of the water supply, the City Manager shall request the City Council to authorize and implement the provisions of the WSC Plan. The request shall be made at a regular or special meeting of the City Council, to implement the appropriate level and provisions of the WSC Plan. The City Council has the authority to initiate or terminate the water shortage contingency measures described in the WSC Plan.

The city manager will recommend the appropriate level of response to a water shortage based on the best information available at the time. Conditions that will be considered include the following:
• Water supply conditions and storage levels
• Statewide water supply conditions
• Local water supply and demand conditions
• Actions by surrounding agencies.

As water supply conditions either deteriorate or improve, the City Manager will return to City Council to revise the appropriate level response. It shall not be necessary to implement any level prior to another; the levels may be implemented in any reasonable order.

In the event the state or local agencies, through executive action, emergency legislation, or other actions, imposed conditions, requirement, or procedures that are not included in the City’s water shortage contingency Plan, the City Manager is authorized to implement such measures as are reasonably required to bring the City’s’ actions in each level to functional conformity with such conditions, requirements, or procedures.

4.6 REQUEST FOR VARIANCE PROCEDURE
Any person who wished to request a variance to a customer classification or allotment shall do so in writing by using the forms provided by the City:

1. The planning Director and staff will review variances. Site visits may be scheduled.

16 replaced or modified for maximum water conservation. 5 COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS
Timely and effective communication is a critical element of the WSC Plan implementation. The City has established communication protocols and procedures to inform customers, the public, interested parties, and local, regional, and state governments regarding any current predicted shortages as determined by the Annual assessment described pursuant to Section 10632.1; any shortage response actions triggered or anticipated to be triggered by the Annual Assessment described pursuant to Section 10632.1; and any other relevant communications.

Strategic communication is an ongoing activity where the purpose, audience, message, tools, and channels may change at any given moment. In the context of water shortage response, the purpose may be an emergency water shortage situation, such as may result from an earthquake, or longerterm, non-emergency, shortage condition, such as may result from drought.

In an Emergency, the city will activate communication protocols detailed in the City’s Emergency Operations Plan. In non-emergency water shortage situation, the city will implement communication protocols outlined in this section.

5.1 COORDINATION
To communicate effectively, avoid confusion, and maintain credibility, the coordination of the WSC plan is in cooperation with various levels of City management, as well as the Basin Manager, Monterey County Water Resource Agency, and other regional planning groups, including the Water Awareness Committee of Monterey County. Through WAC and the integrated Regional Water management Plan for the Greater Monterey County. Through WAC, representatives from 14 agencies throughout Monterey County work together coordinating conservation and other water awareness efforts, including educational programs and information booths for special events, for public understanding of Monterey County water challenges and opportunities.

During droughts and other times of limited supply, the frequency and extent of coordination will increase to ensure outreach tactics are consistent with the changing needs of the region. The City will seek opportunities to leverage external resources to complement its own outreach.

5.2 KEY AUDIENCES
Communication with various stakeholders is essential during normal supply periods and becomes increasingly more involved during water shortages. Communicating to these audiences requires varying levels of involvement depending on the status of supply conditions. Feedback, research, and leveraging existing relationships are central to an effective communications plan. The City will continue to coordinate closely with water resource agencies in the region, stakeholders, and governing agencies on an ongoing basis to ensure appropriate messaging is effective and culturally competent within the City’s service area.

5.3 CUSTOMER OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT TOOLS
Water efficiency as a sustainable way of life remains central to City messaging during normal supply conditions. Indoor and outdoor water use efficiency, sustainable landscaping principles, rebate programs, investments to maintain infrastructure, emergency preparedness, local supply programs, water quality, and local supply reliability are among some of the themes that are in the City’s communications mix to promote, normalize, and advocate for water conserving ethics and activities.

Water Shortage Contingency Plan
17 Below is a snapshot of the various strategies and activities the City uses or may use for communication that could be strategically ramped up in a water shortage condition.

Awareness and Education
• City website and Kick Kiosk
• Social media (Facebook, Instagram)
• Emails to customers
• Emails and correspondence to County, State, and Local elected officials • Media relations (Press releases, interviews, op-eds)
• Digital print and other paid media marketing
• Direct mail (bill messages, Inserts, post cards)
• Community events
• Education and outreach (school programs)
• Resources (water efficiency how to video guides and webinars) Communication through Action
• In-person, phone based.
• On site customer assistance (site surveys)
• Conservation programs
• Community events and demonstrations

5.4 COMMUNICATION OBJECTIVES
The city will provide the public with information about the WSC Plan using any of the outreach methods in Section 5.5. During water shortage conditions and when urgent conversation is needed, the City believes it is important to communicate the following to customers:
• Why water needs to be saved.
• How much water needs to be saved and for how long?
• Specific actions needed to save water.
• What the City, along with the water industry, is doing to remedy the shortage condition.

To that end, communication objectives during the various water shortage levels of the WSC Plan include the following:
• Motivate water users to increase conservation in ways that are consistent with any voluntary or mandatory actions called for at the current level of the WSC Plan. • Raise awareness and understanding of the drought, regulatory, or other condition affecting water supplies.
• Minimize confusion and maintain credibility of water agencies and conservation messages with an appropriate tome that invokes trust and avoids non-compliance backlash. • Make water users feel appreciated for accomplishments in improving their water use efficiency.

• Maintain communication effectiveness by soliciting or monitoring feedback from regional water agencies. Managers, key stakeholders, and the general public. • Depart WSC Plan implementation having demonstrated the effectiveness and value of conservation actions and water supply reliability investments in minimizing impacts to customer’s quality of life or the community’s economy.

5.5 COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL FOR DECLARING A WATER SHORTAGE A current or predicted water shortage, or the termination of a current shortage, as determined by the Annual Assessment, will be communicated to the public upon submittal ofthe Annual Assessment in June of any given year.

When the City determines that a potable water shortage condition exists, any or all of the following notification procedures may be implemented:
a) City management and other key decision makers must be notified regarding the situation, actions to be taken, goals customers are intended to achieve, and how these actions will be implemented.
b) By adopting the WSC Plan, the City Council authorizes the City Manager to declare the extent of a potable water shortage emergency and to implement the appropriate water shortage level and contingency measures.
c) The declaration of the City Council that the appropriate water shortage level of water conservation be implemented or terminated will be done by resolution adopted in accordance with this WSC Plan and public announcement. The City shall public a copy of the resolution in a newspaper used for publication of official notices and shall post notice on the City’s website and use social media. These 3 postings, notices, and notifications will communicate to the public the shortage response actions in place to offset the water shortage gap. Adoption of a resolution terminating any shortage level shall be made at a public meeting of the City Council.
d) The public at large will be informed of the situation and actions the City will be taking.

Communications will occur through the following: billing inserts, special mailings, telephone contact, email, social media, Kick Kiosk, water conservation booths, community association meetings and educational programs, etc. Literature appropriate to the drought circumstance will be provided regarding the potable water shortage condition, conservation methods and water saving devices. e) Use of all forms of media may be employed. This would include public service announcements on radio and cable television and social media, as well as local newspapers.

The City’s website, https://gonzalesca.gov, will be the central location for messaging and customer communications.

5.6 COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLL AND STRATEGIES FOR WATR SHORTAGE LEVELS To reduce water consumption during any water shortage level, the city will use public education and outreach efforts to build awareness of needed actions from the public. In addition, the City’s Packet Pg. 98
Attachment: Water Shortage Contingency Plan (2753 : Resolution No. 2023-42 Water Shortage Contingency Plan) City of Gonzales
Water Shortage Contingency Plan
19 outreach efforts will be regularly revised to reflect current conditions. Key communication strategies and associated water shortage level implementation are listed below:
• Announce status change to key stakeholders and the general public (all water shortage levels)
• Provide regular updates to customers and the media on conditions (all water shortage levels)
• Increase agency coordination via monthly meetings (water shortage level 1 and 2) • Conduct issue briefings with key officials and civic and business leaders (water shortage level 2)
• Promote available water assistance resources for vulnerable populations; customized outreach for impact customer groups (water shortage levels 3 and 4) • Suspend promotion of long-term water use efficiency programs/ tools to focus on imminent needs (water shortage levels 5 and 6)
• Perform crisis communication, as outlined in the City’s Emergency Operations Plan; outreach messaging will reflect emergency conditions and the need to focus on health and public safety (water level 6)

5.7 CRISIS COMMUNICATION- EMERGENCY WATER SHORTAGE
In the event of a catastrophic shortage due to an infrastructure failure or natural disaster, the city will enact its crisis communications as part of the City’s Emergency Operations Plan. The City’s Emergency Operations Plan was developed in accordance with local, regional, state, and federal emergency response guidelines to ensure a coordinated effort and effective response was adopted. 6 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN AND SEISMIS RISK ASSESSMENT

6.1 MONTEREY COUNTY MULTI- JURISDICTIONAL LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN The WSC Plan includes a seismic risk assessment and mitigation plan to assess the vulnerability of each of the various facilities of the supplier’s water system and to mitigate those vulnerabilities.

Compliance may include submitting a copy of the most recently adopted local hazard mitigation plan if it addresses seismic risk.

The city recognizes that the threat from natural hazards poses a risk to water and wastewater utilities and the individuals they serve, and the impacts can result in regional economic and public health consequences. There are two types of disaster planning documents: Hazard mitigation Plan and Emergency Operations plan.

A HMP is different from the City’s Emergency Operations Plan such that a HMP is proactive and EOP is reactive. The HMP develops actions to reduce or eliminate risk from a future hazard event, while the EOP establishes overall operational concepts. The HMP identifies implementation priorities based on an in-depth local hazard assessment, while the EOP details emergency management for a significant disaster or emergency.

Water Shortage Contingency Plan
20 The City of Gonzales is under the Monterey County Multi-Jurisdictional HMP (MJHMP) (March 2016). The 2016 MJHMP is currently being updated to 2021, led by Monterey County, and all 12 cities, as well as special districts, are participating in the planning process.

Once available, the updated MJHMP would have a comprehensive review process that includes the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection, a 30-day stakeholder review, the California Office Of Emergency Services (CalOES) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), followed by adoption by the County Board of Supervisors and each City Council. MJHMP Goals include the following:

1. Promote disaster-resistance and climate adaptation strategies in future development.

2. Retrofit, reinforce, or otherwise protect existing community assets, especially critical infrastructure, for hazard resilience.

3. Encourage natural systems protection through plans and policies; vegetation, debris, and sediment control measures; maintenance and restoration programs; ecosystem services.

4. Provide regulatory tools for applicable hazards and integrate hazard mitigation into appropriate local plans.

5. Increase public education and awareness on hazard risks; build personal support, personal preparedness to enable the public to better prepare for respond to and recover from disasters.

6. Improve local government capacity for disaster resiliency; facilitate coordination between participating jurisdictions and state and federal agencies, local utility companies, local businesses, non-profit organizations, and other stakeholders to promote hazard risk reduction.

Monterey County is potential vulnerable to a wide range of natural and man-made hazards. These hazards can threaten life and safety of residents and visitors and have the potential to damage or destroy both public and private property and disrupt the local economy and overall quality of life.

While the threats from hazard events may never be fully eliminated, there is much that can be done to lessen the potential impact on communities BY minimizing the damaging impacts of hazards upon our built environment, we can protect such events from resulting in disasters. The concept and practice of reducing risks to people and property from known hazards is called hazard mitigation.

The MJHMP identifies the following 12 hazards, including climate change, drought, earthquake, and others, which could impact the City’s water and wastewater infrastructure. • Agriculture
• Climate change/ Sea level rise
• Coastal erosion
• Dam Failure
• Drought
• Earthquake
• Flood
• Hazardous materials event
• Landslide
• Tsunami

21 • Wildland fire
• Windstorm

6.2 SEISMIC RISK ASSESSMENT AND HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
The CWC requires the WSC Plan to include a seismic risk assessment and mitigation plan to assess the vulnerability of each water facility. Per CWC Section 10632.5©, this requirement is met by the Monterey County MJHMP.

Section 4, Hazard Analysis, of the MJHMP shows that several active faults, including the San Andreas Fault, run through Monterey County. The MJHMP also includes a hazard profile for earthquakes that includes a discussion of the nature of an earthquake, history of earthquakes in the region, and the location, extent, and probability of future seismic events. The probability analysis shows that Monterey County experiences several small detectable earthquakes every year. Also, moderate-sized potentially damaging earthquakes could occur in the area any time. Recent research by the USGS shows that the San Andreas Fault has a 21percent probability and the San Gregorio-Palo Colorado Fault Zone has a 10 percent probability of a magnitude 6.7 or greater earthquake by 2032. Because Monterey County experiences small earthquakes every year, the overall probability of occurrence of this hazard to some degree is considered highly likely.

Section 5, Vulnerability Analysis, of the MJHMP shows that all of the City of Gonzales is located in a moderate shaking hazard area. A total of 22 critical government facilities across the City are vulnerable to a moderate shaking event.
7 COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT
CWC Section 10632(a)(6) requires a water supplier to penalize or charge for excessive use, where applicable. Chapter 10.08.080 of the City Municipal Code provides for a system of violations, warnings, and enforcement.

23 2. If the violation is not corrected after one written warning notice, the City shall install a flow restrictive device on the service line and any customer observed by the City personnel to be using water for any non-essential unauthorized use.

3. Repeated violations of unauthorized water use will result in discontinuance of water service. 8 LEGAL AUTHORITIES
The City has the legal authority to implement and enforce its WSC Plan. California Constitution Article X- Water, Section 2 and California Water Code Section 100 provide that water must be put to beneficial use, the waste or unreasonable use or unreasonable method of use of water shall be prevented, and the conservation of water is to be exercised with a view to the reasonable and beneficial use thereof in the interest of the people and the public welfare. In addition, Water Code Section 375 provides the City with the statutory authority to adopt and enforce a water shortage emergency and impose water conservation measures it determines that the City may not be able to satisfy ordinary demands without depleting supplies to an insufficient level. 9 FINANCIAL IMPACTS

9.1 VOLUMETRIC BASED TIERED RATE STRUCTURE
The City’s volume based rate structure is designed and intended to be an ongoing and active water demand management tool that proportionately recovers the cost of providing water service within the City’s service area. Since the City reads meters and bills its customers monthly, the water use can provide a monthly signal, or performance measure, to assist customers in managing their water consumption. Moreover, the City’s volumetric rates are tiered such that customers who exceed a tier quantity experience more expensive rates for water.

The City’s rate structure is based upon adopted rate tiers and allows for modification of rates by due process. There is a flat rate charge based on meter size as well as volume-based rate. The volume based rate incorporates higher rates for higher usage tiers.

All City water service connections are charged monthly for the volume of water used. The City’s current rate schedule provides separate water rates for single family residential, multi family residential, commercial, school, and public accounts. Each account type is charged at a specific rate for every hundred cubic feet of water used monthly.

9.2 REVENUE SOURCES AND MANAGEMENT
In the event that the city implements the WSC Plan, it is recognized that the reductions in water sales would impact the revenues that would normally be generated to the Water Enterprise Find. However, the City’s Water Enterprise Fund revenues may vary according to regional weather, the economy, in dry years, local demands tend to increase, and the City may receive higher than anticipated revenues due to increased sales volume. In contrast, in wet years, demands tend to decrease, and revenues drop due to lower sales volumes. Such revenue surpluses and shortages could cause instability in water rates.

To the extent that this reduction negatively impacts the coverage of its fixed costs (those that are not tied to volume), the city will temporarily utilize its water reserves to mitigate any shortfall.

Maintaining financial reserves is a way the city can manage rate volatility. The reserves can, therefore, be a useful tool to offset the need for revenues during times of lower water sales or unanticipated water supply costs.

Packet Pg. 103 Attachment: Water Shortage Contingency Plan (2753 : Resolution No. 2023-42 Water Shortage Contingency Plan) City of Gonzales
Water Shortage Contingency Plan
24 The City is in the process of a rate study and will provide further comment once the study is complete.

Under long term drought conditions, it may be necessary to institute temporary increased to rates to cover increased operating expenses. The City may consider adopting a surcharge or flat rate increase over a specific time period to cover increased expenses while under a water shortage. This measure would allow the City to implement various levels of rate increases after the City Council, by resolution, has declared a threatened shortage of funds due to water shortage or another emergency.

Conditions of drought and the implementation of water restrictions would also impact expenditures.

Reduced availability of groundwater would produce higher energy bills. The difference in groundwater elevation would lengthen the pumping time required to produce the same amount of groundwater.

Enforcement of the WSC Plan is presumed to be covered by enhanced revenues from the application of excess use charges and penalties.
10 MONITORING, REPORTING, AND REFINEMENT
In normal water supply conditions, production data is recorded daily. Totals are then reported monthly to the Water Resources Manager and Supervisor. Production figures are reported monthly to the State Water Resources Control Board office of Research. Planning, and performance ([email protected]) and in the Annual Report to the Drinking Water Program, which is submitted to the Water Board Water Division each year.

Water supply volumes are generated monthly by the Basin Manager. If the goals of balancing supply and demand under shortage conditions are not met, the City can adjust shortage response actions following an adaptive management approach. Baseline and demand reduction targets may utilize unconstrained demands, demand target as a percentage, or weighted by month to determine success.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council Adopt Resolution 2023-52, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Designating General Street Maintenance projects as the City’s Priority Project for FY 2023-2024 to be Funded by Senate Bill 1 - The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

BACKGROUND
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB 1 Beall) provided for a significant investment in California’s roadway system of about $5.2 billion per year. The Act increased per gallon fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration taxes, stabilized the price-based fuel tax rates and provided for inflationary adjustments in future years. This legislation more than doubled local streets and road funds allocated through the Highway Users Tax Account, allocating funds from new taxes through a new “Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account” (RMRA).

The RMRA receives funds from the following taxes imposed by the State:
• A 12 cent per gallon increase to the gasoline excise tax effective November 1, 2017. • A 20 cent per gallon increase to the diesel fuel excise tax effective November 1, 2017, half of which will be allocated to Trade Corridors Enhancement Account (TCEA) with the remaining half to the RMRA.
• A new vehicle registration tax called the “transportation improvement fee,” effective January 1, 2018, based on the market value of the vehicle.
• An additional new $100 vehicle registration tax on zero emission vehicles model year 2020 and later effective July 1, 2020.

AGENDA
ITEM
17 Packet Pg. 112

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The Road Repair and Accountability Act stipulates that, prior to receiving RMRA funds in any fiscal year, a City shall submit a project list pursuant to the agency’s adopted budget to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).

The city expects to receive approximately $211,000 in SB 1 funding for FY 2023/24 and city staff proposes to use these funds for general street maintenance projects (ie, roadway striping, partial funding for a slurry seal contract).

Therefore, staff recommends the City Council designating General Street Maintenance as the City’s Priority Project for FY 2023/24 to be Funded by SB 1 “The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017”.

Explain: Use of SB 1 monies on improving our local roadways has multiple benefits including safety, reduces delays, and maintaining critical infrastructure.

Explain: SB 1 monies increase funding for maintenance of city streets to improve the quality of life for Gonzales residents.

City services will be delivered in a cost-effective, respectful, and friendly manner to insure the safety and well-being of the residents and the promotion of business, recreational, housing and employment opportunities in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Explain: See above Vision explanation.

Strong fiscal policies allow us to provide appropriate infrastructure for:
• Public Safety X Yes No N/A
• Housing Yes No X N/A
• Recreation Yes No X N/A
• Environment X Yes No N/A
• Education Yes No X N/A
Explain: The SB 1 monies and the related reporting requirements provide for accountability and cost-effective transportation funding.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Direct staff to change the use for these funds and modify the resolution.

2. Delay adopting the resolution, which is not recommended since it would cause the city to miss a deadline related to SB 1.

Packet Pg. 113

BUDGET IMPACT
The city is expected to receive approximately $211,000 in SB1 funding for FY 2023/24.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends the City Council Adopt Resolution 2023-52, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Designating General Street Maintenance projects as the City’s Priority Project for FY 2023-2024 to be Funded by Senate Bill 1 - The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

RECOMMENDATION
Receive a final progress report on the Separated Bike Lane Pilot Project on Fifth Street between Rincon Road and Elko Street and provide feedback and direction to staff.

BACKGROUND
The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) and their consultant, Ecology Action are working with staff from the cities of Gonzales, Soledad, Greenfield, and King City on a Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan. The Safe Routes to School Plan will include recommendations to improve walkability to/from La Gloria Elementary, Fairview Middle School and Gonzales High School. This program is funded through a Caltrans Sustainable Communities Transportation Planning Grant and local Measure X matching funds.

School audits occurred on October 26, 2022, when city staff, Transportation Agency for Monterey County, Ecology Action and the members of the Gonzales Youth Council observed students arrive and leave La Gloria Elementary, Fairview Middle School and Gonzales High School.

The program includes implementing a Pilot Project for the community to experience a recommended improvement and provide feedback should the city decide to make the improvement permanent. These pilot projects are being used in all four Salinas Valley cities to provide data on how the recommendations work in practice, collect community input, and support future grant applications for Safe Routes to Schools infrastructure improvements.

AGENDA
ITEM
18 Packet Pg. 117
The next step in the planning process is to form a Stakeholder Committee comprised of Gonzales residents which will lead a Participatory Budgeting process for the city. TAMC has committed $250,000 for each of the four cities to construct one or several high-priority recommendations from the Safe Routes to Schools Plan, and the Steering Committee will identify high-priority projects and design a voting process to collect input from all city residents. Applications for the Steering Committee are open now, and the first meeting is expected to be held in September. Spanish translation will be available for all Steering Committee meetings. Community members are encouraged to apply by visiting the project website: https://saferoutesmonterey.org/evaluation-salinasvalley/ .

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
A Separated Bike Lane on Fifth Street between Rincon Road and Elko Street was selected by the project team as the Pilot Project and presented at the March 20, 2023 City Council Meeting. With the Council’s authorization, in early April the project team striped the bike lanes, and installed the associated delineators, and high-visibility crosswalks on Fifth Street.

The design of the pilot was initially adjusted to provide more parking on Fifth Street in front of the American Legion, and alternative event parking locations such as the parking lot on Gabilan Court and the angled parking on Elko Street across from Fairview Middle School have been identified.

Ecology Action collected survey data from the community on the pilot project. The survey link has been shared through mailers to all City residents, fliers that have been sent out to families through the schools, banners and hard copy surveys placed along 5th Street, and in-person outreach to parents and students before and after school. As of June 8, 179 survey responses have been received.

The majority of respondents (71%) reported a positive experience with the high-visibility crosswalks.

Fifty-five percent of respondents reported a positive experience with the separated bike lanes and 24% reported a negative experience. Nearly one-third of respondents reported that they walked or biked more because of the pilot project. Half of respondents said that they would like to see the temporary changes made permanent, while 29% would not like to see the changes made permanent and 20% were undecided.

The survey also included space for open-ended responses about the pilot project. The primary comments were:

Positive comments:

1. Easier to walk and bicycle along Fifth Street as it feels safer

2. Motorists are driving slower

3. Liked the high visibility crosswalks

4. Liked the student art, increases vibrancy of 5th Street

5. Desire to extend the pilot project across the 5th Street bridge and to La Gloria Elementary on Elko St.

Concerns:

1. The narrow lanes can slow down the response time of emergency vehicles

2. Parking spaces were eliminated along Fifth Street. This affects evening and weekend events at the High School and the American Legion Hall

3. Some comments called for the white delineators to be removed, and some requested that they be replaced with a sturdier barrier to protect people walking and biking from cars.

At the May 1 Council meeting, as part of a progress report on the pilot project, staff was directed to remove the “wave delineators” to allow for additional space for fire trucks and wide agricultural equipment to safely drive along that section of Fifth Street. The “wave delineators” were removed the next morning.

Packet Pg. 118
City staff and TAMC staff will make a presentation at the Council meeting as part of this report.

The Council can direct city staff to:

1. Make the pilot project permanent and direct staff to install green paint within the bike lanes.

2. Make the pilot project permanent and direct staff to modify the striping, markings or signage.

3. Stop the pilot project and restore the striping to the pre-pilot project condition.

Explain: Installing a Separated Bike Lane Pilot Project along a portion of Fifth Street will enhance the quality of life of Gonzales residents through increasing the opportunities for biking and walking.

Strong fiscal policies allow us to provide appropriate infrastructure for:
• Public Safety X Yes No N/A
• Housing Yes X No N/A
• Recreation X Yes No N/A
• Environment X Yes No N/A
• Education X Yes No N/A

ALTERNATIVES
As stated in the staff report, the Council could direct city staff to:

1. Make the pilot project permanent and direct staff to install green paint within the bike lanes.

2. Make the pilot project permanent and direct staff to modify the striping, markings or signage.

3. Stop the pilot project and restore the striping to the pre-pilot project condition.

Packet Pg. 119

BUDGET IMPACT
There is no budget impact to this evening’s presentation as the costs for the pilot project are covered by the TAMC grant funding.

CONCLUSION
Receive a progress report on the Separated Bike Lane Pilot Project on Fifth Street between Rincon Road and Elko Street and provide feedback and direction to staff.

What is your favorite part?
• Todo porque se ve bonito y te sientes seguro/a.

Yo miro personas mayores usando el espacio de
bicicletas para caminar porque se sienten
seguros. (Everything because it looks nice and you
feel safe. I see older people using the bike space to
walk because they feel safe.)
• The students were able to be creative and help
the bike lanes look very colorful and nice. I have
noticed cars do slow down as to not hit the tins or
drive onto the bike lanes. So it definitely improves
the safety of our children and community that
occupies the sidewalks.

What would you change?
• The curves and planters seem to be more of a
distraction. We don't have many bikers, we have a
lot of walkers but not bikers. We need speed bumps
throughout our city and school zones instead.
• Ya no se siente completo porque faltan los
barandales. Ahora ya nomas son plantas y no se
siente tan seguro (It no longer feels complete
because the barriers are missing. Now there are only
plants and it doesn't feel as safe.)

Staff Recommendation
The Council can direct city staff to move forward
on one of the following options:

1. Keep the pilot project in its current configuration.

2. Enhance the pilot project with green lane striping
and/or explore options for different barriers.

3. Restore striping to the pre-pilot project condition.

CITY ATTORNEY

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: June 20, 2023
FROM: Michael Rodriquez, City Attorney
THROUGH: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Transition to District-Based Elections for Council Members – Proposed District Maps – Public Hearing #5, and Introduce Ordinance No. 2023-139 Establishing and Implementing By-District Elections

RECOMMENDATION

1. Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, receive public comment, discuss and give final approval to a preferred districting map and election sequencing plan for inclusion in an ordinance brought to the Council for possible introduction following the public hearing on this topic on June 20, 2023.

2. Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, and after receiving any comment form the public or Council, introduce, waive reading and read by title only Ordinance No. 2023-139, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Establishing and Implementing By-District Elections (Government Code Section 34886 and Election Code Section 10010).

BACKGROUND
Under threat of potential litigation, on July 18, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-54 initiating the process for conversion from the current at-large voting system for selecting council members to a “by-district” system. Under the by-district system, the City will be divided into four districts in accordance with applicable law, with one council member residing in each district being elected solely by the residents of said district. The Mayor’s position shall continue to be elected atlarge. The by-district election system is purported to promote greater and more meaningful voter involvement in the city council election process and increase the ability of candidates to seek elected office. In order to effectuate the transition process, by law the City is required to conduct five public AGENDA
ITEM
19 Packet Pg. 139
hearings to invite and receive public input regarding the composition of the City’s voting districts, proposed district maps and election sequencing.

Two public hearings were conducted on October 25 and December 14, 2022 at which the City’s consultant in this matter, National Demographics Corporation (“NDC”), explained the conversion process, explained the methods by which voting districts are formed, and received comments and questions from the City Council and members of the public. (The first two meetings were held as joint meetings with the City of Soledad as a convenient cost-savings effort, with one meeting held in Gonzales and one meeting held in Soledad.)
A third public hearing was held on March 23, 2023, at which the Council received public input and Council comment on three draft districting maps that had been prepared and professionally reproduced by NDC. The maps were prepared in compliance with the criteria established by the Fair Maps ActElections Code Section 21601, and the maps and accompanying demographic profiles for each map have been available to the public on the City’s website since March 9, 2023. Map drafting requirements, as established by both Federal and State law, include that districts shall be substantially equal in population, shall to the extent practicable be geographically contiguous, shall to the extent practicable respect the geographic integrity of any local neighborhood or local community of interest, shall be easily identifiable and understandable to residents (bounded by natural and artificial barriers, streets and city boundaries), and to the extent practicable, shall be drawn to encourage geographical compactness in a manner that nearby areas of population are not bypassed in favor of more distant populations. After comment from a number of persons was received at the public hearing, and additional comment was provided by the City Council, the “Maroon Map” was preliminarily chosen as the favorite option by a majority of the Council.

A fourth public meeting was conducted at the City Council meeting on June 8, 2023. After receipt of public and Council comment, the Council affirmed its preferred option as the Maroon Map. The Council also requested that NDC provide the City with some guidance as to election sequencing, not only for purposes of implementing the new districting scheme, but to also correct a current imbalance in the City’s voting sequence whereby every four years, the City holds an election at which the seats of three council members and the Mayor are up for election. The election pattern has been perceived by current and former councils, as well as members of the public, as having the potential to undermine effective Council and City operations.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The Council has two public hearings regarding districting before it this evening. The purpose of the evening’s first hearing is to receive a report from NDC regarding all of the draft district maps and receive Council and public input on the process, as well as to make a final selection on a preferred map and sequence of elections. This will be the City’s fifth public hearing on the districting process. To date, the City has received only three draft maps, previously prepared by NDC, and made available to the public both on the City’s website and reproduced and included in agenda packets since early March.

As of the date of the preparation of this report, no additional maps have been submitted by the public.

The proposed plan for election sequencing will reset the election schedule so that the mayor and two council members shall be up for election every two years. It has also been prepared so that no current council member’s term of office will be impacted by the by-district conversion. This will be accomplished by phasing the conversion to district elections over the course of several election cycles and having the council member in one district have an initial two-year term. By-district voting will not impact the current two-year voting schedule for the Mayor’s position. The sequencing plan suggested by NDC is as follows:

Packet Pg. 140
General Municipal Election of 2024- The council member in Council District 2 and the Mayor will be up for election.

General Municipal Election of 2026- Council members in Districts 1 and 3 (full term) and council member in District 4 (initial two-year term) and the Mayor will all be up for election. From this point forward, the District 1 and 3 seats will be up for election every four years.

General Municipal Election of 2028- Council members in Districts 2 and 4 and the Mayor will be up for election. From this point forward, the District 2 and 4 seats will be up for election every four years.

At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Council will have the opportunity to once again discuss the maps, to direct NDC to develop new or revised maps for consideration at a subsequent hearing, and/or to select a preferred map and election sequence for inclusion in an ordinance for formal adoption at an upcoming meeting. The Council and the majority of public speakers have previously shown a preference for the Maroon Map.

The purpose of the second public hearing will be to introduce, waive reading and read by title only “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Establishing and Implementing By-District Elections.” This ordinance will amend Chapter 1.20 of Title 1-Administration of the Gonzales City Code to establish the new by-district voting system. The ordinance will codify by-district voting as the means by which council members are elected in the City, incorporate the preferred district map, and establish a proposed election schedule to implement by-district voting. The Council should take comment on the proposed ordinance and then after closing the comment period, consider introduction of the Ordinance. The Ordinance will then be set for consideration of adoption at a noticed hearing in accordance with the City’s standard procedures at the City Council meeting of July 17. 2023.

Explain: District mapping is arguably a means of ensuring that the elected Council better represents the heritage of the City and results in all community members having a say in maintaining the important qualities that make Gonzales a special place to live.

Explain: See above.

Explain: N/A.

Strong fiscal policies allow us to provide appropriate infrastructure for:
• Public Safety Yes No X N/A
Packet Pg. 141
• Housing Yes No X N/A
• Recreation Yes No X N/A
• Environment Yes No X N/A
• Education Yes No X N/A
Explain: See above.

ALTERNATIVES
Both the Council and the public are free to request modifications to any of the maps presented this evening. However, modification will require that the modified map or maps and the proposed ordinance implementing and establishing the by-district election process be brought back for additional comment, review and/or introduction at a subsequent public meeting. Given the fact that the Council and public have shown a clear preference for the Maroon Map for several meetings, such action is not recommended.

BUDGET IMPACT
At this point the only cost the City has incurred is the previously approved cost for the City’s consultant.

Mapping and meeting activities are covered by such costs.

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
None required.

PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS
This evening’s public hearing was noticed by posting on the City’s website and Facebook page, and physically posted at City Hall. The public hearing for the second reading of the Ordinance Establishing and Implementing By-District Elections will be noticed for the Council’s July 17th meeting in accordance with the law.

PUBLIC WORKS / CITY ENGINEER DEPARTMENT

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: June 20, 2023
FROM: Patrick Dobbins, Public Works Director/City Engineer THROUGH: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2023-32 Establishing the Cost for Services Fee Schedule FY 23- 24 RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council Adopt Resolution No. 2023-32, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Establishing the Cost for Services Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

BACKGROUND
Gonzales City Code 1.44.020 “General Fee Schedule Established” states “The City Council shall by resolution adopt and may by resolution from time to time amend, a schedule of fees and charges applicable to City services and functions not otherwise specifically provided for in this code. Said schedule shall be known and designated as the General Fee Schedule of the city.” Every year, staff recommends a fee schedule to the City Council for inclusion in the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year beginning July 1st. Staff proposes fees that are legal, applicable, cost effective, and cover the expected cost for city provided services and material. The adoption is publicly noticed as evidenced by the attached notice.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The proposed service and utility fees were increased by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Price Index (CPI) as of February 2023. This year, the index is 5.3% as shown on the attached document from the State’s website. This is the same index used each year. Several fees that did not involve personnel costs were not increased.

AGENDA
ITEM
20 Packet Pg. 156
For the impact fees, pursuant to Gonzales City Code Section 1.48.050 C1 : the appropriate index to use is
the Engineering-New Record Construction Cost Index from December of the prior year, which would result in an adjustment of 5.3% as shown in Attachment 4.

Solid Waste collection fees are established by and the Salinas Valley Solid Waste Authority (SVSWA) and Tri-Cities Disposal (franchise hauler). Tri-Cities Disposal is receiving a CPI increase of 5.30%, and SVSWA pass-through fees include a 2.19% increase to its organics processing fee, along with its annual AB939 fee adjustment which resulted in a 14.14% increase.

Attachments to this staff report are the adopting resolution, the proposed fees for Fiscal Year 2023-2024, with any increases in bold, the Consumer Price Index increases, the Construction Cost Index for the impact fee increases and the explanation of the fees including current and proposed fees. This item is a Public Hearing and the published Public Notice is also attached (Attachment 5).

Explain: Collecting appropriate fees provides the needed resources to maintain and improve Gonzales’ safe, clean, and family-friendly community.

Explain: The attached fee schedule provides only the needed resources for continued excellent services. Fees do not provide the full cost of services but try to recover reasonable fees.

Explain: Using this updated fee schedule is a cost-effective way to provide services and recover reasonable costs for those services.

Strong fiscal policies allow us to provide appropriate infrastructure for:
• Public Safety X Yes No N/A
• Housing X Yes No N/A
• Recreation X Yes No N/A
• Environment X Yes No N/A
• Education Yes No X N/A
Explain: Service and impact fees allow services to continue and improve. Keeping cost of living increases reasonable allows Gonzales to be more sustainable. 1 “Annual Adjustment of Fees: Notwithstanding substantive adjustment of impact fees based on reconsideration or updated analyses of those matters set forth in subsection A of this section, the fees established in subsection B of this section shall be adjusted every year on July 1, commencing July 1, 2007, to reflect the annual percentage change in the construction cost index for San Francisco as of December 1 of the previous year as reported in the ‘Engineering News-Record’.”
Packet Pg. 157

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could direct staff to modify recommended fees or leave fees at last year’s values. Staff recommends against this option to keep fees and costs aligned as much as possible to avoid the need for future larger increases.

BUDGET IMPACT
The recommended fees are incorporated into the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the City Council Adopt Resolution No. 2023-32, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Establishing the Cost for Services Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.
