Mayor Rios pulled item 13 for further clarification. He mentioned this was for the fire sprinklers system and hopefully it can never be used but we have to have capacity to serve that system in various businesses, and it was brought up by a concerned business since their bill was higher than before. He asked how many commercial businesses this would affect and hoped this amount was not going to affect the borrowing capacity needed for future financing.

Public Works Director Dobbins explained there were ten fire flow meters larger than two inches, it was a small impact to the water enterprise fund, and it won’t affect financing for water projects.

Council Member Silva mentioned that it was her understanding that they were going to consider something lower than what's here because they were not going to use any water, she and went over the numbers.

Public Works Director Dobbins responded there were different methodologies to charge for large meters and when staff went through the rate study, it included the most conservative, which is the American Water Works Association, and the basic was how much water could pass through a large meter as compared to a two inch meter, and we have to build the water system to provide that fire flow pressure. He added for years, we were under charging for the large meters and as part of the rate study that came before the Council, it was to charge what the City is able to serve these businesses based on what their need and size of their meter is. He said this was the monthly fixed fee.

City Manager Gil further clarified that for the six-inch meters, you still see that rate, but we'll charge them at the two inch rate instead.

Council Member Silva mentioned the reason she was asking was because the table didn't show that. She asked if the businesses will be reimbursed if they paid the higher amounts City Manager Gil indicated that it wasn't part of the table but it was under staff's recommendation. She mentioned that if there was anyone who wanted a refund, we can work with them, but folks we talked to said it was ok as long as going forward they wouldn't be charged a higher amount.

Council Member Silva thanked staff for the clarification.

thought the reason why people voted was because the election candidates knock door to door like Mayor Rios and Council Member Orozco since they took their time to go out to the community and share what they have done for the community. She expects members from the Council to educate the community regarding the measure.

Mayor Rios agreed with Mrs. Rodriguez but mentioned that the Council Members were prohibited from doing that. He asked the City Attorney to clarify.

City Attorney Rodriquez clarified that they could not use City funds or equipment to try and advocate for a measure, and didn't recommend doing that. He said the City can educate people on the benefits of the measure and the consequences if it doesn’t pass.

The Council concurred with staff's recommendation.

It was the Council's consensus to direct staff to proceed with the plan for the sales tax measure to be placed on the November 2024 ballot.

CITY ATTORNEY

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: June 3, 2024
FROM: Michael Rodriquez, City Attorney
THROUGH: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolutions Providing Preliminary Approval of Engineer’s Reports and Setting Date for Approval of Levy and Collection of Assessments

RECOMMENDATION
Consider and adopt:

1. Resolution No. 2024-17 Designating Engineer of Work and District Counsel;

2. Resolutions No. 2024-18 and 2024-19 regarding California Breeze Assessment Districts;

3. Resolutions No. 2024-20 and 2024-21 regarding Canyon Creek Assessment Districts;

4. Resolutions No. 2024-22 and 2024-23 regarding Industrial Park Assessment Districts; and

5. Resolutions No. 2024-24 and 2024-25 regarding Cipriani Assessment Districts.

BACKGROUND
The City has a number of established assessment districts in various locations throughout the City, formed in accordance with the provisions of the Lighting and Landscaping Act of 1972 or the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982. These districts serve to provide funds to finance the costs associated with the maintenance of district improvements. By law (the aforesaid Acts and California Constitution Article XIIID), the City is required to schedule hearings to set the annual assessments for each district. As has been the practice for a number of years, consulting City Engineer Harris & Associates has prepared Engineer’s Reports containing information about each of the assessment districts, the improvements to be served through the collection of the assessments, and the actual amount of each assessment on each impacted parcel. Copies of the Engineer’s Reports were filed with the City Clerk on or about May 1, 2024, and are available for review upon request.

The attached resolutions designate the “Engineer of Work” and District Counsel for the districts, provide for preliminary approval of the Engineer’s Reports for each of the identified assessment districts, declare AGENDA
ITEM
12 Packet Pg. 34
the Council’s intent to confirm the district diagrams and levy assessments, and set a public hearing date of Monday, July 22, 2024, for consideration, approval and levying of the assessments.

With the exception of the California Breeze Districts, which do not have an allowable CPI inflator, the Maximum Assessment in each District is adjusted by the applicable CPI for the previous year. The Maximum Assessment in each District represents the maximum assessment that can be imposed in a given year. This year, the CPI for the previous year was unavailable at the time the Engineer’s Reports were being prepared so the Engineer has used a placeholder of 5% for the purpose of preliminary calculations. The Maximum Assessments for the districts will be adjusted, as necessary, when the final CPI is available.

There is no proposed change in the assessments from last year for any of the Parks and Open Spaces or Benefit Assessment Districts. The assessments appear to adequately address involved maintenance, labor and material costs. The need to increase assessments to meet the need to maintain adequate capital reserve fund balances for the Districts may need to be considered for the next Fiscal Year.

Note that the City is initiating the 218 election process for a proposed increase to the assessments in the California Breeze Districts. As is referenced above, these districts do not have an adjustment inflator and the involved costs of providing maintenance services in each district far exceeds the maximum assessment that can be collected. The public hearing on both the 218 election and the assessments referenced in the attached engineers reports and resolutions for the California Breeze Districts have been set for July 22.

REVIEW & ANALYSIS
Explain Recommendation and How it 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: The assessments fund the maintenance of various improvements located within the involved subdivisions. Regular and routine maintenance of such improvements helps to preserve the safe and attractive environment the City strives to provide for its citizens.

City services will be delivered in a cost-effective, respectful and friendly manner to ensure the safety and well being of the residents and the promotion of business, recreational, housing and employment opportunities in an environmentally sustainable manner. X Yes No Explain: The proposed assessments will allow the City to maintain a variety of improvements that ensure residential safety and promote local housing opportunities by maintaining a healthy housing stock.

Strong fiscal policies allow us to provide appropriate infrastructure for:

Packet Pg. 35
• Public Safety X Yes No NA
• Housing X Yes No NA
• Recreation Yes No X NA
• Environment Yes No X NA
• Education Yes No X NA
Explain: The creation and annual collection of assessments enables the City to maintain improvements vital to public safety and the ongoing well-being of portions of the City’s housing stock.

ALTERNATIVES
None at this time.

BUDGET IMPACT
The City will have to incur the cost of subdivision maintenance, or allow the same to lapse, if the assessments are not approved and levied.

CONCLUSION
The Council should initiate the first step in its annual process of considering and levying assessments in various assessment districts in the City. Said assessments provide the City with the means of covering the costs of maintenance responsibilities for improvements in each district.

CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: June 3, 2024
FROM: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2024-29 TUT 2024-2025 List of Services and Programs

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
• Receive the staff report;
• Accommodate public comment period;
• Discuss the staff report and spending priorities; and • Adopt Resolution No. 2024-29, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Approving the Prioritized List of Services and Programs to be Funded With Tax Proceeds Received from the Measure ‘K’ Transaction And Use Tax, During Fiscal Year 2024-2025, Including Funding Allocations.

BACKGROUND
In November 2014, 65 percent (65%) of Gonzales voters approved Measure ‘K’, enacting a one-half percent (0.5%) transactions and use tax. Included with the passage of the Measure ‘K’ Transaction and Use Tax was the formation of an Oversight Committee to monitor and provide advisory recommendations to the City Council regarding the use of the tax revenues. The formation of the Oversight Committee was instrumental to the passage of Measure ‘K’ and was necessary to maintain the public transparency needed for the use of these funds.

REVIEW & ANALYSIS
The Measure K Oversight Committee met on May 28th to review and discuss the list of potential projects/programs to fund with the Measure ‘K’ tax proceeds.

AGENDA
ITEM
21 Packet Pg. 279
Exhibit ‘A’ is a list of proposed programs and services they are recommending to be funded with the Measure ‘K’ Transaction and Use Tax (TUT) during Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

Revenues from Measure K are projected to be about $800,000 in Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

Recommended FY 2024/2025 Funding Priorities
Exhibit ‘A’ of the Resolution is a matrix that details the recommended projects and programs for FY 2024-2025. The programs are broken down as follows:
• Group 1 are “High Priority” projects that are recommended for continued funding; • Group 1A are Additional Project/Program recommended for FY 2024-2025 Recommended for FY 2024/2025- Group 1

1. Fund the debt service for the renovation of the Community Pool. ($130,000) On March 7, 2016, the City Council approved a financing plan for the Community Pool Improvement Project. The approved financing plan includes private placement financing of approximately $1.5 million for a period of fifteen (15) years at an interest rate of 2.88%. The annual debt service payment is slightly less than $130,000, which staff recommends be funded through the proceeds received from the Transaction and Use Tax. This obligation will carry-forward to cover the annual debt service until the debt service is paid off or as long as the tax is in place.

2. Fund Youth Services/Development Activities ($95,000), including: (a) Youth Services/ Development Staffing; (b) Gonzales Youth 21st Century Success Initiative (GY21CSI), and the Gonzales Youth Council, etc. The City Council continues to consider the funding of services for youth programs and development to be of a high priority.

After School ‘Kid-Power’ Program ($90,000). In 2017 the City of Gonzales, created Kid Power to complement the Gonzales Unified School District after-school program known as A.S.E.S (After School Education and Safety Program). The ‘Kid-Power’ program now stands independent of A.S.E.S and has become a staple in the community.

The program provides recreational enrichment and homework, and other educational assistance and programming. In line with the City’s youth initiative, the funding has allowed the City to provide additional resources and programs for youth.

Gonzales Day Camp ($75,000): The City’s Recreation Department’s Summer Day Camp has been a community favorite since its inception in 2016. As proposed, the day camp will continue to provide the means for parents, and families to have reliable day care for their children for the entire 8 weeks that school is not in-session during the summer months. As envisioned, the program will have a 1 to 12 adult-to-child ratio with 1 Summer Camp Intern for each group of children. Children would be grouped by ages to keep activities age appropriate for all children.

Summer Day Camp will include daily swimming, environmental education, STEM activities, character education, service learning, arts and crafts, group games, daily reading activities, walking trips to parks and the library, participation in popular City activities such as Fun in the Garden, and the Kid’s Safety Academy, once a week field trips and City-sponsored learning activities.

Packet Pg. 280
To keep the cost affordable for families, maintain and expand the program1 , the proposed
budget and recommended Measure ‘K’ funds allocation is $75,000, which will be used to offset the cost of staff for the program which sees approximately 100 participants. With the cost of staff offset, the price is approximately $125 per week. Because the program will be funded with City of Gonzales tax monies, the reduced rate program will continue to be limited to those who can show proof that at least one parent or guardian either lives or works in Gonzales. The benefit of this funding cannot be understated because it allows the program to be provided for $125 a week to Gonzales residents which translates to $25 per day for an enriched recreational and educational experience. Bottom line for $25 a day, parents get peace-of-mind because they are able to drop off their child as early as 7:30 a.m. and pick the child up as late as 5:30 p.m.; which is considerably less expense than childcare and most programs of this kind. Continuing funding for this activity will help the City meet its Youth Development goals by: providing jobs and internship opportunities to more youth; meeting the needs of working families for reliable and consistent childcare; prevent “summer slide” in education; allowing more space in the Summer School program for youth who truly need academic assistance; expose the youth participants to all of the wonderful programs the City has developed; create an open environment for youth to use hands on learning in areas that they might not otherwise be exposed to; provide opportunity to participate in service learning projects to help the community; and most of all, build lifelong relationships with staff and interns as positive role models.

3. Community Action Grants ($35,000): This program has been very successful and has become a staple in the community. This funding allows local community groups, and advocates to perform a service for the community through various unique activities (e.g., Senior Services, Adult Learning, Child Services, Educational Advancement, Quality of Life and Economic Development).

4. Police Department Community Policing and Events ($5,000): This supports the PD's community outreach efforts that include National Night Out and the development of trading cards and coins to share with the community.

5. Senior Programming ($25,000): Based on input from the community, MKOC and the Council, staff is recommending the continued funding of this effort. In FYs 2023-2024 support for this program was used to develop international partnerships to bring programming to the community for this specific population. In FY 2024-2025 we plan to continue with these efforts through this program support.

6. Three full-time Fire Fighter positions to Augment Services ($250,000): The Gonzales Fire Department has a long and rich history of utilizing volunteers to cover the community, however, with the increase large fires that annually appear to plague the State, Cal Fire is keeping their temporary/seasonal positions longer, which has made it very difficult for department to attract volunteers. With the support of the TUT Measure K Committee, 3 eight-month seasonal fire fighter positions were approved and added in FY 2021-2022; however, because fire fighters are in such high demand and Cal Fire is making it more difficult to retain fire fighters, in order to provide the level of coverage needed for our Community the Council approved converting the three seasonal positions to full time.

7. City Sports Programming ($30,000): Our City Sports leagues continue to grow each year, not only are there more participants in our programs but we have made more sports Packet Pg. 281
available. There is also added interest in other sports leagues that we are attempting to start up with other cities. These funds allow us to continue to provide a verity of healthy activities and options for our residents.

8. Salinas Valley Promise Scholarship Program ($10,000): This program began in FY19/20 and is a partnership with Hartnell College. This program is heavily focused on keeping young students in college during the most critical first two years. The impact of this programming cannot be overstated as since the 2019-2020 academic year more and more of our graduating seniors are attending Hartnell College.

Recommended for FY 2024/25- Group 1A

9. City Beautification Efforts ($5,000): These funds will allow us to take on small beautification projects to support and enhance community wellbeing. It can pay for signs, banners, plants, and other things that can help make our community an even better place to live.

10. Olinga “Wings of Knowledge” Youth STEM program ($10,000): Setting aside funds for this program would assure the continuation of STEM programming available to Gonzales Youth. This STEM program has resulted in our youth constructing water sensors in partnership with local farmers and a weather station in partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that has been placed into production and is supplying data into the NOAA weather prediction algorithms that leads directly to improving the local forecast. Even during COVID, with the required restrictions, this program was still able to operate successfully.

11. Aquatics Programming ($40,000): This support allows the City to continue to provide aquatics programming to the entire community. The current pool fees do not offset the costs of pool repairs and staffing. These funds would allow us to continue providing an adequate level of service and the staffing needed to run the facility.

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 how the Recommendation Directly Implements the Mission The City Council and Staff of the City of Gonzales will realize our Vision by providing the leadership, commitment and resources necessary to provide excellent services that enhance the quality of life of our diverse community. X Yes ___ No
Explain: The Measure ‘K’ Transaction and Use Tax offers a significant source of funds for the City to undertake public projects that it might otherwise not be able to do. When there are budget constraints the first programs to go are always recreation and non-mandate public facing services, with Measure K funds those programs are able to stay intact, and thus we can continue to support our mission and vision of having a healthy and thriving community.

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. X Yes ___No.

Explain: Please refer to the explanation written above for the Vision.

Strong fiscal policies allow us to provide appropriate infrastructure for:
• Public Safety X Yes No N/A
• Housing Yes No X N/A
• Recreation X Yes No N/A
• Environment X Yes No N/A
• Education X Yes No N/A
Explain: The formation of the Measure ‘K’ Oversight Committee ensures transparency regarding how tax resources are allocated amongst the five areas described above. They then provide their recommendations to the City Council for approval.

BUDGET
Based on the fact that sales tax is softening a bit, staff is projecting that Measure K will bring in approximately $800,000 in Fiscal Year 2024/2025.

CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the Gonzales City Council Approve Resolution No. 2024-29 Approving the Measure ‘K’ Oversight Committee’s Recommended List of Services and Programs to be Funded with Tax Proceeds Received from the Measure ‘K’ Transition and Use Tax During Fiscal Year 2024-2025, Including Funding Allocations.

DATE: June 3, 2024
FROM: Michael Rodriquez, City Attorney
THROUGH: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Gonzales Police Department’s AB 481 Annual Report

RECOMMENDATION
Accept the Gonzales Police Department’s AB 481 Annual Report and provide direction to staff.

BACKGROUND
Effective January 1, 2022, Assembly Bill 481 (codified in Government Code Sections 7070 et seq.) requires legislative bodies to adopt ordinances approving military equipment use policies before law enforcement agencies can continue to engage in specified activities related to the use of what the state legislature has now defined as “military equipment” in Government Code Section 7070. Ordinance No. 2022-131 “Approving Gonzales Police Department Policy Manual Policy 709-Military Equipment” was approved by the City Council on June 20, 2022.

REVIEW & ANALYSIS
Government Code Section 7071(e)(1) states that a governing body shall review any ordinance it has adopted pursuant to this section approving the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment at least annually and, subject to paragraph (e)(2), vote on whether to review the ordinance at a regular meeting.

Said review is scheduled for the Gonzales City Council meeting of July 22, 2024.

Government Code Section 7072 also provides that any law enforcement agency that receives approval for a military use policy pursuant to Section 7071 shall submit to the governing body an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved. The Annual Report is meant to provide yearly information about each type of military equipment that was approved by Council. The report contains a summary of how the equipment is used (if at all), any complaints or concerns received about the equipment, and any associated costs related to the equipment’s use. The law enforcement agency AGENDA
ITEM
23 Packet Pg. 287
shall also make each annual military equipment report required by this section publicly available on its internet website.

Within 30 days of submitting the report the law enforcement agency is required to hold at least one well publicized meeting at which the general public may discuss and ask questions regarding the military equipment report and the law enforcement agency’s funding, acquisition or use of military equipment.

The City plans to hold such a meeting as a part of its rescheduled regular City Council meeting on July 22, 2024.

The City’s Police Department has now prepared its AB 481 Annual Report, a copy of which is attached hereto as Attachment 1. The report contains information concerning the purchase and use of an Unmanned Aerial System (“drone”) that was approved by the City in October of 2023 by Ordinance 2023-141. No action needs to be taken this evening other than to accept the report, direct that it be posted on the Police Department and the City’s website, and direct that the “meeting” to allow public questions and input on the Report be appropriately publicized before the July 22 meeting. The Council is also free of course to ask any questions it may have regarding the Annual Report.

Explain Recommendation and How it 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: Tracking military equipment owned and used by the Police Department has been deemed by the legislature as an effective means of reassuring the public that such equipment is being properly deployed and is necessary for public safety.

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

AB 481 ANNUAL REPORT 2023-2024

GONZALES POLICE DEPARTMENT
AB 481 requires the Police Department to provide the City Council and the public with a report outlining how the military equipment possessed and/or acquired by the City during the previous year was used to ensure the police department is adhering to its policy and the City ordinance concerning military equipment. In Fiscal Year 2023-2024, with Council approval, the Gonzales Police Department acquired non-lethal new equipment that would be considered “military equipment” pursuant to the provisions of Government Code Section 7070 et seq. This new “military equipment” is listed under section 3.

1. Semi-automatic rifles.

A. A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use. These are standard-issue duty weapons, occasionally deployed in circumstances in which an officer can articulate a reasonable expectation that the rifle may be needed (e.g. where an officer anticipates an armed encounter, need for long range fire, where an officer believes a suspect may be wearing body armor).

B. A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment.

None.

C. The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the military equipment use policy, and any actions taken in response. None.

D. The total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs, and from what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the year following submission of the annual military equipment report. Minimal maintenance and training costs, paid for out of Police Department Budget.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: June 3, 2024
FROM: Patrick Dobbins, Public Works Director/City Engineer THROUGH: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2024-27 FY2024/25 Cost of Services Schedule

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve Resolution No. 2024-27, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Establishing the Cost for Services Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

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
Staff performed a comprehensive review of the various city fees for this update. Staff collected the current fee schedules for the cities of Soledad, Greenfield and King and reviewed their fees to ensure our fees were in line with neighboring cities. And all departments were asked to review their respective fees and some adjustments were made, such as:

AGENDA
ITEM
24 Packet Pg. 292

1. Added fees for a Code Enforcement Division

2. Many fees within the Planning Department were revised or clarified to clearly identify the 10% administration fee

3. Water deposit fees for residential and commercial customers were increased to account for the increase in costs in garbage, water and sewer fees.

4. Business License fees have not been updated since 1972. Due to the business license fee schedule being an ordinance it is not included in the resolution. Staff is working on updating the fees as part of a separate resolution.

The proposed fees were increased by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Price Index (CPI) as of February 2024. This year, the index is 2.4% as shown on the attached document from the State’s website. This is the same index used each year. On January 1, 2025, water and wastewater fees will increase by 7% per Resolution No. 2023-67.

For the impact fees, pursuant to Gonzales City Code Section 1.48.050 C: 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 3.6% 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 2.37%, and SVSWA pass-through fees include no increases to its organics processing fee, along with its annual AB939 fee adjustment which resulted in a 23.31% increase.

Attachments to this staff report are the adopting resolution, the proposed fees for Fiscal Year 2024-2025, 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 Recommendation and How it 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: 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.

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

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:

Packet Pg. 293
• 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.

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 2024-2025.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends the City Council approve Resolution No. 2024-27, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Establishing the Cost for Services Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

PUBLIC WORKS / CITY ENGINEER DEPARTMENT

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: June 3, 2024
FROM: Patrick Dobbins, Public Works Director/City Engineer THROUGH: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution 2024-26

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
• Adopt Resolution 2024-30, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales, Approving the Engineer’s Report and Declaring its Intention to Propose an Increase of Assessments and an Annual Escalation Factor for the California Breeze Benefit Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2024/25.
• Adopt Resolution 2024-31, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales, Approving the Engineer’s Report and Declaring its Intention to Propose an Increase of Assessments and an Annual Escalation Factor for the California Breeze Parks and Open Space District for Fiscal Year 2024/25.

BACKGROUND
The City has eight assessment districts, formed in accordance with the provisions of the Lighting and Landscaping Act of 1972 or the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982. These districts provide funds for maintenance of specified improvements. The districts are:

1. California Breeze Subdivision Benefit Assessment District

2. California Breeze Subdivision Parks and Open Spaces Assessment District

3. Canyon Creek Subdivision Benefit Assessment District

4. Canyon Creek Subdivision Parks and Open Spaces Assessment District AGENDA
ITEM
25 Packet Pg. 315

5. Industrial Business Park Benefit Assessment District

6. Industrial Business Park Parks and Open Spaces Assessment District

7. Cipriani Subdivision Benefit Assessment District

8. Cipriani Subdivision Parks and Open Spaces Assessment District

The California Breeze Benefit Assessment District provides funding for the maintenance of the roadways, streetlights, storm drains, retention basins in the subdivision. The California Breeze Parks and Open Space Assessment District provides funding for public landscaping and irrigation systems along Herold Parkway and in Meyer Park.

The California Breeze assessment districts were the first assessment districts established by the city. The formation documents for these districts did not include an annual Consumer Price Index adjustment to the Maximum Annual Assessment amount (the other six districts have an annual Consumer Price Index adjustment). Therefore, the assessments for the California Breeze Districts have not kept up with inflation and the city General Fund has been subsidizing district expenses for the last several years.

This effort to increase these California Breeze Assessments is being done in parallel with the annual assessments efforts for this subdivision based on the current maximum assessment, should the Proposition 218 process to increase the maximum assessment fail.

REVIEW & ANALYSIS
A consulting agreement with Harris & Associates to undertake the Proposition 218 process and prepare the Engineer Reports for the two California Breeze Assessment Districts services was approved at the February 20, 2024 Council meeting. The Engineer Reports are attached and they identify the special benefits received by the parcels with the Assessment Districts and include the estimated expenditures for the next fiscal year.

Regarding a Consumer Price Index adjustment for the Maximum Annual Assessment amount for the two districts, staff recommends using the same benchmark as the other six assessment district which is the twelve-month average of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco Bay Area as the annual Consumer Price Index adjustment for Fiscal Year 2024/25 and all subsequent years.

California Breeze Benefit Assessment District
Staff recommends that the new maximum assessment amount for the California Breeze Benefit Assessment District be phased in over a three-year period. The below tables show the proposed annual assessment amounts over the three-year phase-in period:

Phase 3 $271.76 $325.00 $406.26 $507.82 $574.94
PROPOSITION 218 PROCESS
Proposition 218 was approved by California voters in 1996 and are Articles XIII C and XIII D in the State Constitution. To increase the California Breeze assessments, the following steps must take place upon Council direction to proceed with the Proposition 218 process:

1. Ballots will be mailed to all property owners in the California Breeze subdivision. The ballots will list the current and proposed maximum assessment amounts. A minimum 45-day period shall be provided for property owners to return of their ballots.

2. Ballots are counted based on the current assessment amount for each parcel. That means one vote for every dollar of the annual assessment amount for a specific parcel for each assessment district.

3. Following the 45-day ballot period, the Council will hold a public hearing at the City Council meeting on July 22, 2024 to take public comment and tabulate the submitted ballots.

4. If the ballots submitted in opposition to the proposed assessment increase do not exceed 50% of the total number of ballots (ie, Majority Protest), the Council may approve the increased assessment amounts.

5. If so confirmed and approved, the Assessments would be submitted to the County of Monterey Assessor for inclusion on the property tax rolls for fiscal year 2024/25.

PROPERTY OWNER ENGAGEMENT
In the last four months, staff met with interested property owners on two occasions, with the most recent taking place the evening of May 8. On May 3 Staff mailed the attached notice and survey to all property owners in the California Breeze subdivision. Additional meetings will be held with property owners should the Council direct staff to proceed with the Proposition 218 process.

In conclusion, Staff recommend that the City Council Adopt the attached Resolutions authorizing initiation of a Proposition 218 process to increase the annual assessments collected by the California Breeze Benefit Assessment District and the California Breeze Parks and Open Spaces Assessment District with the addition of an annual CPI adjustment escalator.

Packet Pg. 317
Explain Recommendation and How it 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: Going through a successful Prop 218 process to increase the assessments over a three or four-year phased-in approach for the two California Breeze Assessment Districts will fully fund the costs for the specified maintenance efforts.

Strong fiscal policies allow us to provide appropriate infrastructure for:
• Public Safety X Yes _ No NA
• Housing _ Yes No NA
• Recreation X Yes No NA
• Environment X Yes No NA
• Education Yes No X NA
Explain: Collection of the annual assessments enables the city to maintain the certain improvements in the California Breeze subdivision.

ALTERNATIVES
The Council could decide not to undertake the Prop 218 process to increase the maximum assessment amount and add an annual CPI adjustment. This isn’t recommended as the annual assessments are not covering the district’s expenses, so the city General Fund is used to close the funding gap.

BUDGET IMPACT
Moving through a Proposition 218 process to increase the maximum assessment amount for the two assessment districts and include an annual Consumer Price Increase would fully fund the operations and maintenance of these districts.

Packet Pg. 318

CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
• Adopt Resolution 2024-30, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales, Approving the Engineer’s Report and Declaring its Intention to Propose an Increase of Assessments and an Annual Escalation Factor for the California Breeze Benefit Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2024/25.
• Adopt Resolution 2024-31, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales, Approving the Engineer’s Report and Declaring its Intention to Propose an Increase of Assessments and an Annual Escalation Factor for the California Breeze Parks and Open Space District for Fiscal Year 2024/25.

Dear Calif Breeze Property Owner - The Calif Breeze Subdivision has two assessment districts:

1. A Benefit Assessment District which funds the maintenance of the streets, road signs, streetlights, storm drains, US101 soundwall, and drainage basins located at the end of Herold Parkway and at the west end of Devon Way (behind Burger Queen).

2. A Parks and Open Spaces Assessment District which funds the maintenance of the landscaping, irrigation, play structures, restroom, basketball court and associated improvements in Meyer Park and along Herold Parkway.

These two Assessment Districts were established in 1993 and did not include an annual Consumer Price Index adjustment. Therefore, the assessments have not kept up with inflation.

The city is seeking input on increasing the maximum assessment. Increasing the assessment can provide funding for projects like:
• Rehabilitating the ballfield and irrigation system at Meyer Park • Resurfacing the basketball court
• Improving the landscaping along Herold Parkway
• Other potential improvements such as constructing a fenced dog park, replacing the netting at the ballfield or renovating playground equipment and picnic tables.

The following table shows the current annual assessments for the California Breeze Subdivision.

Current Assessment
per Single Family House
Assessment to fully fund per
Single Family House
Calif Breeze Benefit Assessment District $185.34 - $234.68 $340.96 Calif Breeze Parks/Open Space Assessment District $227.00 - $271.76 $368.70 The city is considering increasing the assessments by 25 to 35 percent each year over the next three years to reach the fully funded assessment amount.

Please use the QR code to take the on-line survey to provide the City with feedback regarding the California Breeze Subdivision assessment districts or drop off the bottom portion of this sheet at the drop box located inside Gonzales City Hall.

Estimado propietario de Calif Breeze- La subdivisión Calif Breeze tiene dos distritos de tasación:

1. Un Distrito de Tasación de Beneficios que financia la operación y mantenimiento de las calles, señales de tránsito, alumbrado público, desagües de tormentas, muro de contención del US101 y alcantarillas ubicadas al final de Herold Parkway y en el extremo oeste de Devon Way (detrás de Burger Queen)

2. Un Distrito de Tasación de Parques y Espacios Abiertos que financia el mantenimiento y el funcionamiento de jardinería, el riego, las estructuras de juego, los baños, la cancha de baloncesto y las reparaciones asociadas en el Parque Meyer y a lo largo de Herold Parkway.

Estos dos distritos de tasación se establecieron en 1993 y no incluyeron un ajuste anual del índice de precios al consumo. Por lo tanto, las tasas no han seguido el nivel de la inflación.

La ciudad busca opiniones sobre el aumento de la tasa máxima. El aumento de la tasación puede proporcionar financiación para proyectos como:
• Rehabilitar el campo y el sistema de riego del Parque Meyer • Repavimentación de la cancha de baloncesto
• Mejorar la jardinería a lo largo de Herold Parkway
• Otras posibles mejorías, como la construcción de un parque cercado para perros, la sustitución de las redes del campo de pelota o la renovación de los juegos y las mesas de picnic.

La siguiente tabla muestra las cuotas anuales actuales de la subdivisión California Breeze.
