Mayor Rios mentioned there were flyers in English and Spanish with more information about the fireworks going out to every household hoping people understand the issues. He said the graduation was such a great event. He asked staff why plan checking takes so long to review a set of plans even sometimes with minor things. He said he has heard from at least four people.

City Manager Gil asked him if there were specific ones he could point out so staff could look at the timeline. She said 4Leaf Consultants were the plan checkers and they were very thorough. She asked him to give staff the names so they could check the timeline.

BUSINESS FROM CITY MANAGER

21. Oral Communications
City Manager Gil thanked our Police Department, Sheriff's Office, and everyone who stepped in to help with the incident last Wednesday to keep our community safe. She announced the cleanup day on June 29th at Fairview from 8:00am-1:00pm; 4th of July parade and 5k run. She reminded everyone to stay safe and to not use illegal fireworks. She indicated that staff was putting out as much information as possible about illegal fireworks, which were not allowed in town and anyone who gets caught will be cited and prosecuted. She announced the First Time Homebuyers/Financial Literacy Workshop in partnership with United Way on Saturday from 9:00am-12:00pm and staff will be sharing information on the Vista Lucia project.

City Attorney Rodriquez informed that the Police Department and Fire Department plan to work in partnership on the 4th of July with the drones to observe illegal activity and identify where it’s taking place and also for purposes in fire suppression dispensing and sending fire and police personnel to areas where illegal fireworks are going off. He said we are doing this the same manner that hundreds of other Police Departments throughout the State are doing and using drones for the same purpose. He said some of the public speakers have raised the issue of folks having expectation of privacy that has been violated by drone observation, which is true, there is a whole body of law that protects people from having unwarranted intrusions; however, there is a couple of exemptions to that, there is no expectation of privacy for illegal conduct for the use of illegal fireworks. He indicated there is an exemption in the law that has to do with the legitimate use of drones for police purposes, and the purpose here is to maintain, oversee, and prevent any danger to both property and life on the 4th of July to the illegal use of fireworks. He added that we feel very comfortable in having the Police and Fire Departments partner together to use the drone for those purposes and we don’t have to request permission from anybody to fly it to observe the illegal activity taking place.

Police Chief Wise added that we have a very thorough drone use policy, and we are well within the legal rights to use it. He said there was mention about wind speed earlier, but people get confused with wind velocity vs. wind speed and they should have a better understanding and learn about the safety concerns before talking. He said the policy was online and anyone can view it at any time
Public Works Director Dobbins reported the construction of Phase I of the Community Center started last Monday.

The day was In June marked a milestone for the City of Gonzales as Otto Construction received their notice to proceed on the Dennis and Janice Community Center Complex, and got started on its construction on June 10th. Crews are busy working at the site daily from 7:00AM until 3:30PM but most days you can find people there well past 6:00PM working away to make sure they meet the established timeline. Please be careful when you drive near there, and in preparation for the start of the new school year, please be mindful of the additional traffic on 5 th Street near Elko Street and Rincon
Road, and give yourself more time in the morning to avoid the congestion.

To view the daily progress of the Dennis and Janice Community Center Complex, visit the link https://share.earthcam.net/GonzalesCommunityCenter.

Staff continues to work on the funding campaign for Phase 2 of the project which includes the Community Hall and Fitness Center. To make your tax deductible donation to the project, visit the Community Foundation for Monterey County website at cfmco.org and search Gonzales Community Center. Donations in the amount of $500 + get their name on a donor wall.

Economic Development and Revenue Generation
• The Economic Development team is working to support business growth and development in the community. There are a few businesses wishing to establish themselves in town and staff is helping to move those projects along.
• The City Council is considering putting a Sales Tax Measure on the November Ballot. The Measure would help generate funding for unfunded programs and services like fire, youth programming, and road and street repairs. If approved, the new sales tax would sit in line with the rest of the local cities at 9.25%, an increase from 8.75%. City of King and the County are also considering putting similar tax measures on the ballot for their unfunded projects. • The City is also working with colleagues in South County to explore potential economic development opportunities.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Freeway Sign Proposal. City Staff is currently negotiating a lease for use of public property for the sign location and will soon be gathering a design review team together.

Monterey County Business Council, South County Round Table. Staff continues to meet and collaborate with our fellow cities of the Salinas Valley for opportunities to expand and support commercial services and industries and to further the creation of new housing. On Thursday, June 27, the City hosted Kosmont Companies, a nationally recognized real estate and economic development advisory firm and our local Monterey County Business Council (MCBC) for an orientation to the City of Gonzales, and a walking tour of our downtown areas. Kosmont and MCBC are tasked with conducting a retail study and developing feasible and affordable strategies that Gonzales and the other valley cities may employ to stimulate a broader economic base for the region.

HOUSING
Vista Lucia Specific Plan. Staff is advancing the several components of the Vista Lucia Specific Plan.

Success and implementation of the VLSP is inextricably linked to the City seeking certification of the 6th Cycle Housing Element. Without the new site opportunities of the VLSP and the yet to be completed Affordable Housing component, the State of California wants the City to develop an alternative program AGENDA

where the City’s obligation to provide 1,266 RHNA units would be designated in some manner within the existing City limits.

City staff is advancing the Development Agreement, Affordable Housing Agreement, draft staff report, and the Condition Compliance and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. A copy of the EIR is available on the City of Gonzales website (https://gonzalesca.gov/services/communitydevelopment/development-activity-projects) under the Vista Lucia Project section.

Outreach. Additionally, staff is advancing outreach efforts through the United Way’s program for Financial Literacy in both English and Spanish and will have had our most recent class session, Saturday July 13, 2024. Outreach with pamphlets and in-person introductions to coming housing opportunities in the City of Gonzales were held on Thursday the Fourth of July in Central Park. Increased counter, telephone, and email queries have resulted, and staff has officially created an “Interested in Housing” list for our residents. People on the list will be included in new meeting notifications and other outreach efforts regarding new housing in the City. (The list does not guarantee or assure a position or advantage for new units.)
Housing Element. The City is responding to questions from Housing and Community Development (HCD) and is engaging in additional research and evaluations and will be making additions and revisions to the first draft. Staff will be posting responses and edits and share the changes publicly through the website.

Senior Housing Proposal on S. Alta. Geoffrey Morgan intends to meet with City Manager Carmen Gil and Taven Kinison Brown, the week of July 15, 2024 to share the CHISPA progress points in regards to the City-owned parcel on Alta Street.

CODE ENFORCEMENT
The City continues to meet with property owners, inspect potential violations and start documentation to progress to remedies.

BUILDING DIVISION ACTIVITY
From June 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024 (30 reporting days), the City issued 15 permits from the Building Division for residential additions, roof repairs and re-roofs, demolition of non-permitted additions, repairs to meet code at a multifamily development, and formalized repairs and proper permitting for an ADU.

The estimated valuation of all improvements was $174,625.

GENERAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY
Potential mini storage and vehicle storage opportunity. The Community Development Department continues to work with an applicant as his proposal takes shape for new commercial / industrial uses on Gonzales River road on the western city edge. The potential here is to provide support for our major agricultural processing giants but will also include mini storage and vehicle storage opportunities for the greater public.

City’s Business License Ordinances. The Economic Development staff is looking into an update to the City’s Business License Ordinances that have not been revisited since 1972 (52 years).

Kid Power
• In early June, we still had our regular Kid Power After School Program and the kids did different activities to celebrate the end of the school year, some of which included a ceremony and a BBQ hosted by the Gonzales Fire Department on the last day of school. • In preparation for the opening of Summer Camp our team did some team building activities, and deep cleaned the entire Vosti Center building.
• Summer Camp kicked off during the 3rd week of June. Summer Camp teamed up with Gonzales PD and they provided us with a tour and explained everything they do at the station.

Gonzales PD also came to the Vosti with the Explorers and they talked about what they do and how the kids can also become explorers one day. The campers also got to experience the police department drone. They learned what it is used for and how it is used. The kids even got a chance to talk into it and hear their message. The kids thanked Gonzales PD for their visit by making cards and crafts for the Officers

• For the last week of June Summer Camp teamed up with Save the Whales. We met Amanda at the Community Garden where she taught the kids about things that would harm the environment, how things grow and what helps them grow. She told them about bees and how important they are for our flowers to spread pollen. She taught the kids to keep the garden clean by picking up all the trash and weeds. The kids also made Amanda some cards and did a butterfly craft with Amanda.

City Sports League
• Gonzales Youth Flag football skills assessment began on Monday June 3rd. The official season will begin on Monday, June 10th. We have three divisions, 10 teams and a total of 84 participants. Our divisions are Ages 5-7, with 3 teams, Ages 8-10 with 4 teams and Ages 11-14 with 3 teams. We have 9 coaches. One of which is coaching two teams, one in the 8-10 and one in the 11-14 age division. We also have a returning coach who heard we needed coaches and stepped up to coach even though his kids decided not to participate this year. Our community really does have great coaches who care and who just want the best for our Gonzales athletes. Our first flag football games started on June 20th with our 5-7 age division and on the 21st for our 8- 14 divisions. Our season will end July 26th.

Recreation/ Community Engagement
• We were able to collaborate with the Greenfield Community Science Workshop once again to host a Free Bike Repair Workshop in Gonzales! Last year we hosted it in the parking lot where the Community Center is now being built. This event gives community members the opportunity to either donate bikes that are no longer in use or give others the opportunity to obtain a free used bike. It also grants the opportunity for others to get their bikes fixed! We had great success at our last event, so we are hoping the same goes for this year’s event. • We have been working with Salinas Valley Health to host a Community Health Day at Central Park on October 12th. The event will include various free activities and informational booths some of which include face painting, free Flu Shot Clinic, Stroke Clinic Research Booth, Cancer Resource Center, Blue Zones exercises activities and much more! • The Ventura Circus has reached out in hopes of using the Centennial Field to host a circus in Gonzales this summer!
• We continue to host senior programming through a partnership with Alliance on Aging. We were able to attend the Senior SoCo in June to help promote all the fun programs that will be taking place through the end of December 2024.

Aquatics
• The Gonzales Community Pool had a soft opening on Monday June 10th and we went live with all programs on June 17th. Some of the programs include: water aerobics, private and group swim lessons.
• The Pool is currently planning for their first movie night of 2024 being held on July 13th. Doors will open at 8PM with the movie starting at 8:45PM.

Gonzales Youth Council
• We hosted our annual rounds of interviews for our 2024-2025 Youth Commissioners. The initial interview was conducted by the two GYC Advisors and the second round of interviews was conducted by City Manager, Carmen Gil and Director of Student Services for the Gonzales Unified School District, Candice McFarland. We were able to make a unanimous decision that our two Youth Commissioners would be Emily Mendez, and Valeria Cardenas-Pacheco. • The two commissioners will participate in a Summer Fellowship with the City that begins on Monday July 15th. They will have the opportunity to have ‘meet and greets’ with different departments as well as a chance to sit down with the Mayor and Council Members to get a better understanding of their responsibilities.

City of Gonzales 2024 Summer Reuse, Recycle & Cleanup Day Report
July 5, 2024
Submitted to: Mayor & City Council of the City of Gonzales through the Office of the City Manager On June 29, 2024, the City of Gonzales held its summer community cleanup day event at Fairview Middle School. The event was advertised to residential customers through social media and direct mail. The flow of traffic by participants was steady. One hundred fifty-five (155) vehicle loads were serviced.

This event provides landfill disposal vouchers for refrigerators and freezers at the Johnson Canyon Landfill. Volunteers benefit from being able to direct participants to the nearby landfill to dispose of these and other bulky items, such as mattresses and appliances. Rather than unload them into dumpsters, residents can easily push them off into landfill collection piles. This protocol also makes residents aware of the free recycling services available at the Johnson Canyon Landfill.

The event focuses on preventing illegal dumping and helping residents “clear the clutter.” It facilitates source separation, recycling, and proper disposal of hazardous waste, trash, appliances, mattresses, scrap metal, rigid plastics, cardboard, and electronic waste.

Residents received free and safe disposal of ABOP (Antifreeze, Batteries, Oil, and Paint) materials and sharps containers through Salinas Valley Recycles. Monterey County Environmental Health coordinated a CalRecycle grant-funded oil filter exchange and provided free oil collection containers.

The newest feature of this event was a CalRecycle grant-funded compost giveaway. Tri-Cities brought 25 cubic yards of finished compost to give away to the community. Tri-Cities and Salinas Valley Recycles brought extra bags, buckets, and shovels for those who did not have them. About half of the compost was taken away to grow fruits, vegetables, and flowers in home gardens. Twenty-four (24) kitchen food scraps collection bins were given away. The leftover compost was sent to the Gonzales public works yard for city use. We will bring compost to the event in the fall.

Now that the word is out, we think more people will be excited about this program.

Extended participation in the event by Save the Whales (STW) continues to be a blessing. Once again, their team asked if they could join us in volunteering at the event after collecting their stormwater surveys. Without their help, the cross-country volunteers would have been completely overwhelmed by the volume of clothing donations (two minivan loads).

The free “Take it or Leave it” area continues to be a big hit with the community. As anyone who has participated in these events knows, the reuse area has many great finds. Most of our volunteers were surprised to find many useful items for themselves! From the Desk of: Maury Treleven

Attachment: Gonzales Fall Cleanup Day Report (3040 : Public Works/City Engineer Department Activity Report) The event accepts donations for the clothing closet at the Gonzales Community Presbyterian Church. Blankets and towels are separated and delivered to South County Animal Rescue, where they are needed to care for rescued animals.

The Gonzales High School cross-country and track teams provided 70 volunteer hours. This group consistently meets its commitments with enthusiastic volunteers who exemplify the spirit of community service. Tri-Cities provided gloves, safety vests, lunch, and ice water. The cross-country and track team will receive a $500 donation from Tri-Cities Disposal & Recycling.

CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: July 22, 2024
FROM: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Agreement with C4 Consulting for Rendering Services that Support Youth Leadership Development

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve and Authorize the City Manager to sign an Agreement between the City of Gonzales and C4 Consulting for rendering services that support Youth Leadership Development.

BACKGROUND
The City of Gonzales has been contracting with Michelle Slade since 2013 for services on various projects. She has been instrumental in helping to develop and guide the Gonzales Youth Council (GYC).

Her support continues to be a necessary asset as the City dives into high impact, large-scale projects with limited staff.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The Gonzales Youth 21st Century Success Initiative continues to be a driving force of the City as the Council continues to prioritize supporting youth development and growing our own next level of professionals. This agreement continues to support the effort and ensures that there is continuity with the Youth Council until more internal capacity is developed.

The proposed contract specifically includes support around asset-based youth engagement and leadership development to continue fostering creativity and innovation through the Gonzales Youth 21st Century Success Initiative, through a results-based collaborative effort with City staff. It also supports the ongoing model of peer-to-peer as it supports the engagement and leadership of a former GYC Alumni who currently works under this contract through C4C. Continual support for leadership development and AGENDA
ITEM
15 Packet Pg. 35
capacity building is essential in order to continue strengthening our GYC efforts and implementing the Council’s Vision and Mission to support the professional development of our youth.

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: This Agreement ensures that the work of the GYC and the Youth 21st Century Success Initiative continues to move forward without losing traction. It is important that we continue to support the work as the civic engagement of youth is one of our staple projects and has become a model for others not only across the State and the Nation, but we have also inspired Greenfield and Soledad to start their own Youth Councils.

Explain: This Agreement, paid for by Measure K, supports the development of our youth leaders through the Gonzales Youth Council.

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: Staff’s analysis of this Agreement is that it is cost-effective for the promotion of the community’s long-term sustainability.

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 X Yes No N/A
Explain: This Agreement follows approved fiscal policies and will be monitored to ensure desired results are consistent with approved City Council goals.

ALTERNATIVES
Without the support of C4C, our service impact through the GYC could be constrained as we have limited staff. C4C’s support around youth leadership development and capacity building, is critical to its continued success and impact. If this contract was stopped we would have to rethink the GYC strategy, which is not recommended at this point as it has been a major pride point for the City.

BUDGET IMPACT
This new Agreement is less than the previous contract. It is not to exceed $35,000 and runs from August 2024 - June 2025. This work is paid through funding from Measure K.

CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the City Council approve and Authorize the City Manager to sign an Agreement between the City of Gonzales and C4 Consulting for rendering services that support Youth Leadership Development.

CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: July 22, 2024
FROM: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Agreement with Armanasco Public Relations, Inc. for Public Relations Services

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve a new Consulting Services Agreement between the City of Gonzales and Armanasco Public Relations, Inc. dated July 23, 2024 through June 30, 2026 for an amount not to exceed $60,000 per fiscal year, for a total contract amount of $120,000; and authorize the City Manager to sign the Agreement.

BACKGROUND
Gonzales has utilized Armanasco Public Relations (APR) with success since 2015. They have been instrumental in a lot of the great press and recognition we have received and were key in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the All-American City application efforts. They also help the City pursue funding opportunities. Most recently, they supported staff in the Department of Water Resources grant application and the Office of Transportation Safety grant.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The ability to have communications experts available to support public outreach and our grant writing efforts is a valuable asset especially as we move into potentially having tax measures on the ballot, seek additional funding opportunities and begin to tell the community about the importance of supporting the City’s plan for growing in a sustainable, responsible and equitable manner. Furthermore, their support is invaluable as staffing is limited and getting information about these key projects out to the community in a timely manner, through multiple communication channels is imperative.

APR has also been cognizant of our budget and has worked with us to decrease their scope and cost so that they can continue to support the work of the City. The attached Agreement extends the relationship AGENDA
ITEM
16 Packet Pg. 53
with a new two-year contract with the current negotiated rate. APR has agreed to keep the rate the same for duration of the contract.

The importance and impact of this work cannot be understated. Over the last several years, it has become apparent that the ability to stay connected, get your story out and be able to respond socially and publicly and maintain a presence is more important than ever. This is an area that frankly requires a level of expertise, contacts and relationships that are developed over time, and with a focus that is difficult for staff to maintain on an ongoing basis.

Explain: Public outreach is an important component in the small-town charm aspect of the City’s vision. Armanasco Public Relations assists the community in working collaboratively for common goals.

Explain: Armanasco provides excellent service that staff believes is better than providing the expertise with City staff, which we do not have the funding to support.

Explain: Staff believes this Agreement is more cost-effective than hiring this expertise with fulltime staff.

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 X Yes No N/A
Explain: Staff believes using specific experts especially in this area is critical and has proven very beneficial for the City in the past. This is even more important now that we have major projects like the Community Center, the Vista Lucia project and the Wastewater Treatment Plant underway which need to be shared with the community.

ALTERNATIVES
Alternative 1 – The City Council could direct staff to modify the Agreement to change the amount or period of time covered. Staff will modify as directed. The compensation proposed is already at a lower, negotiated price.

Packet Pg. 54
Alternative 2 – The City Council could determine this Agreement is no longer needed. Staff believes this Agreement provides a valuable asset for public outreach critically needed as we move major projects forward.

BUDGET IMPACT
The total cost of the contract over the two years will not exceed $120,000, which is comprised of $60,000 annually. Over the course of the next two fiscal years, the City Budget will reflect the $60,000 spread across several funds to be considered as part of the annual budget process.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends the City Council approve a new Consulting Services Agreement between the City of Gonzales and Armanasco Public Relations, Inc. dated July 23, 2024 through June 30, 2026 for an amount not to exceed $60,000 per fiscal year, for a total contract amount of $120,000; and authorize the City Manager to sign the Agreement.

Section 5. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONSULTANT'S RESPONSIBILITIES.

Consultant shall indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to City, and hold harmless City and its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, expenses, and costs (including without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively, "Liability") of every nature arising out of or in connection with Consultant's negligent performance of the Services or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such Liability caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City.

The Consultant's obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Consultant's inability to evaluate Liability or because the Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that the Consultant is not liable to the claimant. The Consultant must respond within 30 days, to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the City, unless this time has been extended by the City. If the Consultant fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Consultant under and by virtue of this Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Consultant accepts or rejects the tender of defense, whichever occurs first.

With respect to third party claims against the Consultant, the Consultant waives any and all rights of any type to express or implied indemnity against the Indemnitees.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent this Agreement is a "construction contract" as defined by California Civil Code Section 2782, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of consultant to indemnify shall not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782.

In the event that Consultant or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Consultant providing services under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City, Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Consultant or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.

CITY ATTORNEY

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: July 22, 2024
FROM: Michael Rodriquez, City Attorney
THROUGH: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2024-51 Approving a Telecommunication Easement Agreement Between the City of Gonzales and TPA VI, LLC, Concerning the Acquisition of Lease Agreements with Verizon and T-Mobile for Cellular Tower Sites on the City Water Tower at 700 5Th Street

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that your Council consider and adopt Resolution No. 2024-51, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Approving a Telecommunication Easement Agreement Between the City of Gonzales and TPA VI, LLC, Concerning the Acquisition of Lease Agreements With Verizon and T-Mobile for Cellular Tower Sites on the City Water Tower at 700 5th Street.

BACKGROUND
The City currently has two cellular tower lease agreements, one each with Verizon and T-Mobile, for wireless communication facilities on the City’s Water Tower located at 700 5th Street. As was previously discussed with and considered by Council, the City has the opportunity to maximize the value of these assets with an up-front one-time lump-sum lease payment, rather than smaller monthly payments over time, by selling its lease rights to a qualified outside party.

Per Council approval, Consultant SteepSteel, LLC marketed the aforesaid leases on behalf of the City to prospective, highly qualified bidders and thereafter began negotiations based on the best response received from TowerPoint Acquisitions, LLC. On May 6, 2024, the Council approved Resolution No. 2024-13 authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Letter of Intent with TowerPoint related to the prepayment of lease agreements with Verizon and T-Mobile and authorizing negotiation of an Easement Agreement for lease prepayment.

REVIEW & ANALYSIS
AGENDA
ITEM
17 Packet Pg. 72
Staff has been able to negotiate the essential terms and conditions of an Easement Agreement with TowerPoint (DBA “TPA VI, LLC.”). Although the original Letter of Intent between the parties anticipated a 100-year term agreement, difficulties involving the length of the term caused the parties to consider and agree upon a shorter 55-year term for a purchase price of $1,425,000.00. The terms and conditions of the Easement Agreement are substantially similar to those that were entered into with TowerPoint in the City of Soledad in 2022. Basically, TowerPoint is stepping into the City’s shoes and will be entitled to collect and retain lease payments from Verizon and T-Mobile on a monthly basis. They will also have the right to seek replacement leases should the leases with Verizon and/or T-Mobile terminate, and to seek additional cellular users for the Water Tower, with the City receiving 60% of new revenues. Finally, they will also be entitled to an additional 550 sq ft. of space, as necessary, for placement of equipment needed to serve new users. The City will still retain permitting and approval authority as to new users.

Although the Agreement is not in final form, time is of the essence in this matter and Staff is requesting that the Council approve the Easement Agreement as to substantial form and content, with direction and authority being provided to the City Manager to execute the document once it has been determined by the Manager, Finance Director and City Attorney to be in acceptable final form. Staff anticipates that we will be able to iron-out final details within a few days and quite possibly by the time this matter is considered at Monday’s meeting.

Staff has determined that the proposed Agreement is exempt from analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to the Class 32 Infill Exemption (CEQA Guidelines Section 15332), or because it is not a project for the purposes of CEQA since it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or indirect impact on the environment- CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.) 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 advance lump-sum payment of cellular lease revenues that would have otherwise been paid on an incremental basis over a course of years will provide much needed financial assistance to current efforts to maintain the City’s vision.

Strong fiscal policies allow us to provide appropriate infrastructure for:
• Public Safety X Yes ____No __NA
• Housing X Yes ____No NA
• Recreation X Yes ____No NA
• Environment X Yes ____No __NA
• Education X Yes ____No NA
Explain: Please see above.

Packet Pg. 73

ALTERNATIVES
Your Council has the following alternatives:
• Approve Resolution No. 2024-51.
• Modify, delete and/or add to the language of the proposed resolution or Easement Agreement. • Do not approve Resolution No. 2024-51and provide direction. This is not recommended as failure to close this transaction in July may jeopardize funding for the proposed lease acquisition.

BUDGET IMPACT
The City currently receives approximately $6,021 per month or just under $72,300 per year in lease revenue from the two existing cellular tower leases. The proposed Agreement will result in a onetime advanced lump-sum payment of $1,425,000.00 in addition to 60% of new lease revenue that may be derived from the Water Tower over the course of the Agreement’s 55-year term.

CONCLUSION
It is recommended that your Council consider and adopt Resolution No. 2024-51, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Approving a Telecommunication Easement Agreement Between the City of Gonzales and TPA VI, LLC, Concerning the Acquisition of Lease Agreements With Verizon and T-Mobile for Cellular Tower Sites on the City Water Tower at 700 5th Street.

EASEMENT AGREEMENT
This telecommunication easement and lease assignment agreement (“Agreement”) is made and shall be effective on the ____ day of ____________________, 2024 (“Effective Date”), by and between THE CITY OF GONZALES (“Grantor”) and TPA VI. LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Grantee”).

1. Grantor’s Property and the Telecom Tenant Lease. Grantor represents and warrants that it holds fee simple title to certain real property located at 700 5th Street, Gonzales, CA 93926, as more fully described in the legal description attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Parent Property”). Grantor and TMobile, as successor in interest to Sprint Spectrum Realty Company, L.P. and GTE Mobilnet of California Limited Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless (the “Telecom Tenant”) are parties to that certain lease agreement, including all amendments and modifications thereto, cited in Exhibit B and incorporated by reference herein (the “Telecom Tenant Lease”).

2. Grant of Easement. For the sum of TEN AND NO/100 DOLLARS and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the parties hereby acknowledge as paid on or about the Effective Date along with the purchase price pursuant to the settlement statement executed contemporaneously with this Agreement (“Purchase Price”), Grantor grants and conveys unto Grantee, its successors and assigns, an exclusive easement (subject to the Telecom Tenant Lease) for the Permitted Use defined herein, together with a non-exclusive access easement for ingress and egress to and from the exclusive easement, seven days per week, twenty-four hours per day and a non-exclusive utility easement to install, replace and maintain utilities servicing the exclusive easement, including, but not limited to the installation of power and telephone service cable, wires, switches, boxes and the like as may be required by the Permitted Use (collectively “Easement” as further described in Exhibit C). Grantor shall permit Grantee, Easement Tenant(s) (as hereinafter defined), and any of their affiliates, customers, tenants, subtenants, lessees, sublessees, licensees, successors and/or assigns

Attachment: Resolution No. 2024-51 (3057 : Resolution No. 2024-51 Easement Agreement with TPA VI, LLC for Cell Tower Sites on the Water Asset File #: Page 2 of 12
together with any of the employees, contractors, consultants, and or agents of the foregoing to use the Easement for the installation, construction, operation, maintenance, repair, modification, relocation, replacement and removal of improvements and equipment (“Equipment”) for the facilitation of telecommunications and other related uses consistent with any uses permitted by the Telecom Tenant Lease (“Permitted Use”). Grantor represents that there is no pending or threatened action that would adversely affect Grantor’s ability to enter into this Agreement or grant the Easement and that entering into this Agreement will not violate or conflict with any provision of Grantor’s organizational documents (if Grantor is an organization) or conflict with the provisions of any agreement to which Grantor is a party. Grantor further represents and warrants that Grantee shall have peaceful and quiet possession and enjoyment of the Easement during the term of this Agreement without any disturbance of Grantee’s possession or Permitted Use hereunder. Grantee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of each Easement Tenant to comply with applicable law.

3. Term. Commencing on the Effective Date, the term of this Agreement and the Easement shall be for fifty (55) years (the “Term”) and this Agreement and the Easement shall terminate on _________________, 2079. Upon notice to Grantor as provided herein, Grantee may surrender the Easement to Grantor and execute such documents reasonably required to terminate the Agreement and the Easement. Grantor may not unilaterally terminate the Agreement or Easement, but if the Easement is not used for the Permitted Use for a period of three (3) years the Easement shall be deemed abandoned and shall terminate upon Grantor’s notice of such default to Grantee as provided herein. Sections 12 and 13 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement, subject to applicable law.

4. Assignment of Lease, Renewal and Right of Replacement. Grantor hereby assigns to Grantee all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in the Telecom Tenant Lease for the Term, including the right to renew the Telecom Tenant Lease throughout the Term. Except as provided herein, Grantee agrees to assume all of Grantor’s rights and obligations under the Telecom Tenant Lease. If Telecom Tenant is obligated under the Telecom Tenant Lease to pay to Grantor any fees (other than base rent and any escalations thereto) for the purpose of utility service or access or tax reimbursement, Grantor shall continue to be entitled to such fees, although Grantee may collect and distribute same to Grantor. Grantor shall continue to perform all obligations of the lessor under the Telecom Tenant Lease which relate to the use, ownership, and maintenance of the Parent Property so that Grantee may fulfill all the obligations under the Telecom Tenant Lease without breaching any provision therein, including, but not limited to, Grantor maintaining the Parent Property in a commercially reasonable condition to allow the Permitted Use of the Easement. Grantor shall not maintain the equipment or installations of any Easement Tenant (hereinafter defined), but shall be responsible and liable for the maintenance of the Water Tower (hereinafter defined) in compliance with any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules and regulations, including but not limited to, those rules and regulations, promulgated by the FCC and FAA regarding painting, marking and lighting of the Water Tower. Grantor represents and warrants that it has delivered to Grantee true and correct copies of the Telecom Tenant Lease and that Grantor owns 100% of the lessor/landlord’s interest in the Telecom Tenant Lease, including the right to collect all rent thereunder.

To the best of Grantor’s knowledge, no party to the Telecom Tenant Lease has breached or is in default of their respective obligations under the Telecom Tenant Lease and no party has requested or discussed a modification or termination of the Telecom Tenant Lease. If during the Term the Telecom Tenant terminates the Telecom Tenant Lease or otherwise vacates the Parent Property, Grantee may lease all or a portion of the Easement to a replacement telecommunications tenant (“Replacement Telecom Tenant”) on terms consistent with the Telecom Tenant Lease and such Replacement Telecom Tenant shall occupy the Easement rather than locating on other portions of the Parent Property (“Replacement Telecom Tenant Lease”). The terms and conditions of any Replacement Telecom Tenant Lease shall be consistent with the terminated Telecom Tenant Lease and no Replacement Telecom Tenant Lease shall include any new or additional obligation of the Grantor and no terms shall be more adverse to Grantor than the replaced Telecom Tenant Lease. Additionally, Grantee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have any Replacement Telecom Tenant Lease Packet Pg. 78
Attachment: Resolution No. 2024-51 (3057 : Resolution No. 2024-51 Easement Agreement with TPA VI, LLC for Cell Tower Sites on the Water Asset File #: Page 3 of 12
include a requirement that Grantor shall have the right to review and approve construction plans prior to commencement of initial construction, such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, denied or withheld and without further compensation owed to Grantor. Approval shall be deemed given by Grantor where Grantor has failed to respond at all within thirty (30) calendar days of Grantor’s receipt of such construction plans.

5. Rent Sharing. When a new telecommunications tenant (“Rent Share Tenant”), other than a Replacement Telecom Tenant, executes a lease for space within the Easement outside the Telecom Tenant or Replacement Telecom Tenant lease premises and commences rent payment, Grantee will collect such rent with Grantee retaining forty percent (40%) of the rent collected and Grantee remitting sixty percent (60%) of the rent collected to Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee shall be entitled to collect and retain rent from all telecommunications tenants within the Easement in an amount equal to the rent scheduled in the existing Telecom Tenant Lease and any Replacement Telecom Tenant Lease, including scheduled escalators. Grantee is permitted and authorized to enter into leases with Rent Share Tenants subject to the requirements for leasing to Replacement Telecom Tenants as set forth in Section 4.

6. Right of First Refusal. Grantor grants to Grantee the right to acquire through assignment, purchase, or other means any lease or similar conveyance for telecommunications purposes in which Grantor retains an interest outside the Easement (“Grantor’s Lease”). Grantor shall deliver to Grantee, a copy of any offer to purchase an interest in Grantor’s Lease. Grantee shall have thirty (30) business days to match the terms of any offer by delivering written notice of Grantee’s intent to match the offer.

7. Cooperation and Non-interference. Grantor hereby agrees to cooperate with Grantee, and Telecom Tenant, Rent Share Tenant and/or Replacement Telecom Tenant (collectively, “Easement Tenants”) in obtaining all licenses, permits or authorizations from all applicable governmental and/or regulatory entities and in acquiring any necessary upgrades to or relocation of utility service to support the Permitted Use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such land use application, permit, license or other document submitted shall be subjected to the standard review process and may ultimately be approved or denied by the governmental authority vested in connection with the authority to approve or deny such submittal. Grantor’s cooperation shall be at no cost to Grantor and without requiring payment of additional rent or fees by Grantee or Easement Tenants. Grantor shall not interfere with any construction in the Easement so long as such construction is to support the Permitted Use and is proceeding pursuant to a building permit or other required municipal or governmental approvals.

Grantor shall not, nor shall Grantor permit its lessees, licensees, employees, invitees or agents to, use any portion of the Parent Property or the Easement in a way which materially interferes with the operations of the Easement Tenants who shall have peaceful and quiet possession and enjoyment of the Easement. Grantor may not directly or indirectly induce, invite, or conspire to induce or invite any Easement Tenants to use or lease space in direct competition with the Easement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no right of Grantee nor duty of Grantor shall interfere with Grantor’s duty to provide for the health, safety and welfare of Grantor’s citizens. Grantee shall cooperate with Grantor in Grantor’s access to the Water Tower for maintenance and repair and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce maintenance and temporary relocation provisions of the Easement Tenant pursuant to the applicable Easement Tenant lease.

8. Assignment. Grantee may pledge, assign, mortgage, grant a security interest, or otherwise encumber its interest created by this Agreement. Grantee may freely assign this Agreement in part or in its entirety, and any or all of its rights hereunder, including the right to receive rent payments subject to the consent requirements of this section. Grantee and Grantor hereby expressly agree that Grantee has the right, (i) in its sole discretion and without the prior consent of Grantor, to assign its interest in this Agreement to any person or entity (a) with a net worth or market capitalization comparable to that of Grantee, (b) that is a wireless telecommunications provider, (c) whose primary business is the operation of Packet Pg. 79
Attachment: Resolution No. 2024-51 (3057 : Resolution No. 2024-51 Easement Agreement with TPA VI, LLC for Cell Tower Sites on the Water Asset File #: Page 4 of 12
telecommunications tower sites or rooftop antenna sites on a national scale, or (d) that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Grantee; and (ii) to assign its interest in this Easement to any other person or entity with the prior written consent of Grantor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, hindered or delayed. Upon the absolute assumption of such assignee of all of the obligations of Grantee under this Agreement, then Grantee will be relieved of all obligations and liabilities hereunder. An assignment of this Agreement shall not be deemed a termination.

9. Taxes and Other Obligations. Except as provided for in the applicable Easement Tenant Lease or otherwise herein, all taxes and other obligations that are or could become liens against the Parent Property or any subdivision of the Parent Property containing the Easement, whether existing as of the Effective Date or hereafter created or imposed, shall be paid by Grantor prior to delinquency or default.

Grantor shall be solely responsible for payment of all taxes and assessments now or hereafter levied, assessed or imposed upon the Parent Property, or imposed in connection with the execution, delivery, performance or recordation hereof, including without limitation any sales, income, documentary or other transfer taxes. If Grantor fails to pay when due any taxes or other obligations affecting the Parent Property, Grantee shall have the right but not the obligation to pay such and demand payment therefor from Grantor, which payment Grantor shall make within ten (10) days of such demand by Grantee.

Nothing herein shall diminish any right of Grantor for tax reimbursement directly from any Easement Tenant, as may be provided for in the applicable Easement Tenant Lease. Each new Easement Tenant Lease shall require the Easement Tenant to be responsible for all ad valorum taxes, non-ad valorum assessments and personal property taxes resulting from the Easement Tenant’s Lease. Notwithstanding anything here to the contrary, so long as the named Grantor City of Gonzales, California or any other tax-exempt agency shall be a party to this Agreement and shall be exempt from taxation, Grantor the City of Gonzales, California or any other tax-exempt agency shall have no obligation hereunder to pay any taxes or assessments on the Parent Parcel or this Easement and nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver of the City of Gonzales, California’s or any other tax-exempt agency’s tax-exempt status

10. Insurance. During the Term, Easement Tenants shall maintain general liability insurance as required under their respective lease and Grantee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have Easement Tenant include Grantor as an additional insured on all such policies. In the event an Easement Tenant will not agree to include Grantor as an additional insured under such general liability insurance policy, then Grantee shall include Grantor as an additional insured under Grantee’s general liability insurance policy. Grantor shall maintain any insurance policies in place on the Parent Property or as required under the Telecom Tenant Lease.

11. Subordination and Non-Disturbance. Grantee agrees to subordinate this Agreement to any existing or future mortgage or deed of trust on the Parent Property ("Security Instrument"), provided the beneficiary or secured party ("Secured Party") under the Security Instrument agrees for itself and its successors in interest and assigns that Grantee's rights under this Agreement and rights to the Easement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected or disturbed by the Secured Party in the exercise of Secured Party's rights under the Security Instrument during the Term, including Grantee's right to collect and retain, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, all rents, fees and other payments due from Easement Tenants. Such non-disturbance agreement must apply whether Secured Party exercises its rights under the Security Instrument, including foreclosure, sheriff's or trustee's sale under the power of sale contained in the Security Instrument, and any other transfer, sale or conveyance of Grantor's interest in the Parent Property under peril of foreclosure, including, without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, an assignment or sale in lieu of foreclosure.

12. Mutual General Indemnification. Grantor and Grantee shall each indemnify and hold harmless the other against any and all claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) caused by or arising out of the indemnifying party’s breach of this Agreement or the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct on the Parent Property by the indemnifying party or Packet Pg. 80
Attachment: Resolution No. 2024-51 (3057 : Resolution No. 2024-51 Easement Agreement with TPA VI, LLC for Cell Tower Sites on the Water Asset File #: Page 5 of 12
the employees, agents, or contractors of the indemnifying party. Any requirements of Grantor in this Section 11 are only to any limits set forth under applicable state law.

b. Grantor and Grantee each agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other from and against any and all administrative and judicial actions and rulings, claims, causes of action, demands and liability including, but not limited to, damages, costs, expenses, assessments, penalties, fines, cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any governmental authority, losses, judgments and reasonable attorneys’ fees that the indemnified party may suffer or incur due to the existence or discovery of any Hazardous Substances on the Parent Property caused by the other party. Grantee shall not be responsible for and shall not defend, indemnify or hold harmless Grantor for any Release of Hazardous Substances on or before the Effective Date. Any requirements of Grantor in this Section 12(b) are only to any limits set forth under applicable state law.

14. Dispute Resolution and Notice.
a. Jurisdiction and venue under this Agreement shall be in the state and county the Parent Property is located. The parties may enforce this Agreement and their rights under applicable law, and may seek specific performance, injunction, appointment of a receiver and any other equitable rights and remedies available under applicable law. Money damages may not be an adequate remedy for the harm caused to Grantee by a breach or default by Grantor hereunder, and each party waives the posting of a bond. Except for Grantee’s failure to remit any Rent Share Tenant rents pursuant to Section 5 herein, damages as against Grantee shall be limited to an amount equal to the amount of Purchase Price received by Grantor under this Agreement, in addition to any insurance settlement which may have effect. The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorney fees and costs. Neither party shall be liable to the other for consequential, indirect, speculative or punitive damages. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent Grantor from seeking a separate claim for damages against Easement Tenant.
b. The non-defaulting party shall provide written notice of a default under this Agreement, not more than thirty (30) days from discovery of the default. From the date of such notice, the defaulting party shall have thirty (30) days to cure the default, unless the default cannot be reasonably cured within thirty (30) days in which case the defaulting party shall have such additional time as necessary to cure the default so long as the defaulting party has used commercially reasonable efforts to cure the default and is diligently pursuing completion of the cure, but in no case shall the cure period be longer than sixty (60) days.

6. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-41, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Conducting a Public Hearing, Considering All Assessment District Protests, Approving the Engineer’s Report, and Confirming the Levy of the California Breeze Parks and Open Space Assessment Districts NOS. 1, 2, and 3 for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

BACKGROUND
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 (CPI) adjustment to the Maximum Annual Assessment amount (the other six districts have an annual CPI adjustment). Therefore, the assessments for the California Breeze Districts have not kept up with inflation and the City’s General Fund has been subsidizing the districts’ expenses for the last several years. As of June 30, 2024, California Breeze has a negative balance of $252,187.

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 Prop 218 process to increase the maximum assessment fail.

REVIEW & ANALYSIS
The Engineer Reports for the two districts, as prepared by Harris Associates, are attached.

As presented at the June 3, 2024, Council meeting, staff recommended that the new maximum assessment amount be phased in over a three-year period for the Benefit Assessment District. The table below shows the proposed annual assessment amounts over the three-year phase-in period:

PROPOSITION 218 BALLOT PROCESS
The authority and process for increasing assessments, enacted by voters in California by the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996, is set forth in Articles XIII C and Section 4 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution. The process, as detailed in the Engineer’s Report for each District, requires assessment increases to be put to a vote of impacted property owners via a noticed procedure. The written assessment notices, ballots, and addressed return envelopes were mailed to property owners of record in the involved assessment districts on June 7, 2024. Mailing the ballots on June 7 fulfills the requirement for ballots to be mailed at least 45 days prior to the scheduled public hearing date. The public notice for the public hearing was published in the July 10 edition of the Salinas Valley Tribune Tonight’s public hearing is to consider objections and protests to the proposed assessments. At the conclusion of public testimony, the City Consulting Assessment Engineer will open and count the submitted ballots. During the count, this matter will be paused to allow time to tabulate the ballot results.

Once the ballots are counted, this matter will be resumed to allow the Consulting Assessment Engineer to announce the results of the election and to allow the Council to consider action on the proposed new assessments. If the ballots submitted in opposition to the proposed assessment increases do not exceed the number of ballots submitted in favor, the Council may approve the increased assessment amounts.

Once approved, the Tax Rolls would be provided to the County of Monterey Tax Assessor by August 1 for inclusion on the property tax rolls for Fiscal Year 2024/25.

If the proposed assessment increases are not approved, the Council will move forward with the process of levying the existing unadjusted California Breeze assessments for FY 2024-2025 by way of separate action this evening.

Explain: Increasing the assessments in a phased-in approach for the two California Breeze Assessment Districts will fully fund the costs for the specified maintenance efforts.

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: Collection of the assessments provides funds for the maintenance of a variety of improvements that enhance the quality of life in the subdivision.

Strong fiscal policies allow us to provide appropriate infrastructure for:
• Public Safety Yes No X 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 specific improvements in the California Breeze subdivision.

ALTERNATIVES
- If approved by the voters, the Council may approve the new assessments in the California Breeze Assessment Districts.
- If not approved, the Council should adopt the assessments for the California Breeze Assessment Districts proposed via a separate Council action on this evening’s agenda

BUDGET IMPACT
Moving through a Proposition 218 process to increase the annual assessment amounts and include an annual Consumer Price Increase for the two California Breeze Assessment Districts would provide for these Districts to fully fund operations and maintenance of these respective districts.

If the ballot measures are not approved, the existing California Breeze assessments are not sufficient to fund the various maintenance efforts in each assessment district. The City Council will need to decide whether to continue backfilling the budget deficits with General Fund monies or reduce the maintenance efforts to a level that can be funded with the current assessments.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

2. Accept comments, accept ballots (if any), and close the public hearing.

3. Continue the item to later in the meeting to allow the City’s consultant to tabulate the submitted ballots.

Fiscal Year 2024-25
3 PART I – BACKGROUND
City Staff has contracted with Harris & Associates (“Harris”) to complete the Engineer’s Report (“Report”) for the proposed increase to the assessment rate for the California Breeze Benefit Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2024/25 and include an annual escalation factor to allow for future increases to the assessment rate, accounting for inflation.

Proposition 218 Requirements
Since Proposition 218 restricts the levying of assessments to only “special benefits”, it is important to separate those benefits which are general benefits from those that provide special benefits to parcels.

In Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association v. Santa Clara Open Space Authority, the Court found that those benefits that relate to “quality of life” to people living in, working in or visiting property located within the boundaries of an assessment district are general benefits and that any benefit conferred on real property as a result must also be considered to be general benefits. Therefore, since a project may provide both general and special benefit, the first requirement in the establishment of an assessment district is to identify and separate what is general benefit from special benefit, since an assessment may only be imposed on a parcel for the special benefit received.

The definition of “special benefit” which was defined in Article XIII D Section 2(i) as “special benefit means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefits.” This was further clarified in the Courts ruling in Dahms v. Downtown Pomona Business Improvement District.

In that case, the plaintiff argued that if the assessment conferred special benefits on the parcels, and those special benefits themselves produce general benefits then the value of those general benefits must be deducted from the cost of providing the special benefits and must not be included in any assessment. The Court found that the text of Article XIII D does not support that argument.

The Court also found that nothing in Article XIII D says or implies that if the special benefits that are conferred also produce general benefits, then the value of those general benefits must be deducted from the reasonable cost of providing the special benefits before the assessments are calculated. Rather, the only cap that provision places on the assessment is that it may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.

Based upon these recent rulings and the requirements of Article XIII D which requires that:
• General benefits must be identified and separated from special benefit, • Assessments proposed to be levied on a parcel may only be imposed for special benefit: and • Assessments must be proportional to the special benefit conferred on a parcel.

On November 5, 1996, California voters adopted Proposition 218 creating Article XIII D of the California State Constitution which established requirements for the creation of new assessments or increasing existing assessments. Proposition 218 also established exemptions to its provisions for districts created prior to its passage.

California Breeze Benefit Assessment District
City of Gonzales
Fiscal Year 2024-25
4 The District is currently deemed exempt from the requirements of Proposition 218 because it was formed prior to the adoption of Proposition 218 in November 1996. As a result, any proposed increase in the assessments, including the addition of a CPI or other annual inflationary adjustment to the existing assessment rate, requires an assessment ballot be mailed to each property owner subject to the increased assessment, and that those property owners must approve the proposed increase or annual adjustment.

In addition to the requirements shown above, any other changes to the Method of Apportionment, resulting in an increased assessment, must also comply with the requirements of Proposition 218.

As of the end of Fiscal Year 2024/2025, the District fund balance is estimated to be $147,746. While that is a healthy fund balance, the District has been using reserves to help pay the annual costs for several years.

Additionally, the District has had a fixed assessment amount since the time the District was formed. While the costs of labor, maintenance and utilities have increased over the years due to inflation, the maximum assessment rates have not changed. As a result, and in addition to the proposed maximum assessment rate increase, the City is also proposing an annual inflationary adjustment to the maximum assessment rates which will allow the assessmentsto be increased to keep up with future maintenance and utility costs as they increase with inflation. This annual inflationary adjustment will be identical to the other Districts in the City and is detailed in Part V of this Report.

Approval Process
Article XIII D of the California Constitution requires that any proposed assessment increase or change to the assessment amount resulting in an increased assessment must go through an approval process which includes a property owner ballot procedure. The procedure is briefly detailed below:

Notice and Ballot
The City Council will approve a Resolution ordering a Notice of Public Hearing and Assessment Ballot be sent to all property owners in the District. One ballot will be provided for each parcel subject to the proposed increase and annual inflationary adjustment. Assessment Ballots and Notice of Public Hearing will be mailed to the record owner(s) of the parcels at least 45 days prior to the date of a Public Hearing. At the close of the Public Hearing, returned ballots will be tabulated (the public will have the opportunity to view the tabulation process) and interested persons can “hear and be heard” concerning the ballot process and the proposed increases and adjustments.

The results of the ballot tabulation will be announced and presented to the City Council following the completion of the tabulation. The Council may impose the changes if there is no majority protest. A majority protest exists if the number of returned ballots opposing the increase outweigh the number of returned ballots in favor of the increase, weighted by assessment amount. If there is a majority protest, then the process will stop and the increased assessment and annual inflationary adjustments will not be imposed.

If approved, the increased assessments will be collected on the annual County property tax bills commencing with Fiscal Year 2024/2025.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT
The California Breeze Benefit Assessment District will be comprised of the following 3 areas:

CALIFORNIA BREEZE BENEFIT ASSESSMENT DISTRICT, PHASE 1
Benefit Assessment District Phase 1 (hereinafter “BAD Phase 1”) was formed in 1995 to provide a dedicated source of funding for the maintenance of various street sweeping, streetlights and lighting costs, storm drain lines repairs and replacement including necessary cleaning, electric current, supervision, debris removal and any and all other items of work necessary and incidental for the proper maintenance and operation thereof. BAD Phase 1 also provides funding for the maintenance of a Retention Pond and appurtenant access road. Incidental costs including contingencies, and assessment district incidentals including engineering, printing, and notices to property owners, collection costs, legal fees, administration and supervision, are assessed to BAD Phase 1 on the same basis as the improvements specified above and drainage facilities within development projects in the City.

BAD Phase 1 is generally bounded on the east by Herold Parkway, on the west by State Route 101, on the south by a line approximately 3,200 feet south of Fifth Street and on the north by Fifth Street.

CALIFORNIA BREEZE BENEFIT ASSESSMENT DISTRICT, PHASE 2
Benefit Assessment District Phase 2 (hereinafter “BAD Phase 2”) was formed in 1995 to provide a dedicated source of funding for the maintenance of various street sweeping, streetlights and lighting costs, storm drain lines repairs and replacement including necessary cleaning, electric current, supervision, debris removal and any and all other items of work necessary and incidental for the proper maintenance and operation thereof. BAD Phase 2 also provides funding for the maintenance of a Retention Pond and appurtenant access road. Incidental costs including contingencies, and assessment district incidentals including engineering, printing, and notices to property owners, collection costs, legal fees, administration and supervision, are assessed to BAD Phase 2 on the same basis as the improvements specified above and drainage facilities within development projects in the City.

BAD Phase 2 is generally bounded on the east by Herold Parkway, on the west by State Route 101, on the south by a line approximately 4,300 feet south of Fifth Street and on the north by California Breeze Phase I.

BAD Phase 1 also provides funding for the maintenance of a Retention Pond and appurtenant access road. Incidental costs including contingencies, and assessment district incidentals including engineering, printing, and notices to property owners, collection costs, legal fees, administration and supervision, are assessed to BAD Phase 1 on the same basis as the improvements specified above and drainage facilities within development projects in the City.

BAD Phase 3 is generally bounded on the east by Herold Parkway, on the west by State Route 101, on the north by a line approximately 4,300 feet south of Fifth Street and on the south by a line approximately 5,100 feet south of Fifth Street.

The assessments and methods of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received by each parcel.

Pursuant to the 1982 Act:
"Maintain" or "maintenance" means the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement.
"Service" or "servicing" means the furnishing of electric current or energy, gas, or other illuminating agent for any public lighting facilities or for the lighting or operation of any other improvements.

9 PART IV – QUANTIFICATION OF BENEFIT
Quantification of Benefit

BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on the benefit received.

GENERAL BENEFIT
Although the improvements may include public streets and drainage facilities that connect to similar facilities outside the District boundaries, the construction, maintenance, and operation of these improvements was only necessary for the development of properties within the Districts. As such, these improvements were not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District boundaries and any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental. There is, however, a small amount general benefit conferred to the public at large.

Specifically, general benefits include reduced wear and tear on service vehicle (mail and other delivery vehicles, emergency vehicles, waste pick up vehicles, etc.), including individual cars that may be visiting a property owner or simply driving through the neighborhood. Additional general benefits must be applied to renters (non-property owners) residing in the District. In looking at the number of renters within the District over the previous three years, the highest number of rental properties during that time period was 20. Based on the total number of homes in the District (317) and the parcel area for the commercial properties, the Average Daily Trips (ADT) can be determined using vehicular traffic generation rates. The table shown below shows the calculation of ADT and the corresponding general benefit percentage.

This percentage and the corresponding amount of the Total Expenditures is shown as a contribution in the Estimate of Costs table shown in Part III.

10 SPECIAL BENEFIT
The special benefits are:

Street Lighting:
• Security and safety
• Community character and vitality
• Property access
• Nighttime visibility for increased economic activity
Storm Drain:
• Able to develop property due to required storm drain management system. • Protection of storm drain infrastructure useful life. • Prevent or reduce property damage from potential flooding.

Street Maintenance:
• Provide reliable all-weather access to properties.
• Remove or reduce trash and pollutants to maintain the character of the property.

These benefits impact the assessed properties in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels not within the District and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. The improvements also were installed as a condition of development for the California Breeze tract and would not have been installed otherwise. Since these improvements were installed and are maintained especially for the benefit of properties within the District, all assessable properties in the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for the special benefits conferred by the street, street lighting and drainage improvements.

Since parcels in the District receive differing levels of special benefit due to variations in the location, nature, extent and services provided, benefit levels for the two parcel types have been established. All parcels within the District have been assigned a benefit factor for the Special Benefit received, as described in Section V.

11 PART V – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Method of Apportionment
GENERAL PROVISIONS – SPECIAL BENEFIT
Pursuant to the 1982 Act and Article XIIID, all parcels that receive a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. Chapter 6.4, Division 2, Title 5, of the Government Code, the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, permits the establishment of assessment districts by Cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements that include street maintenance.

Section 54711 of the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:
(a) No benefit assessment shall be levied pursuant to this chapter unless it meets all of the following requirements:
(1) The amount of the assessment imposed on any parcel of property shall be related to the benefit to the parcel which will be derived from the provision of the service. Except as provided in subdivision (d) or (e) of Section 54715, in the case of a benefit assessment for flood control services, the benefit must be determined on the basis of the proportionate storm water runoff from each parcel. In the case of an assessment for the maintenance of streets, roads, or highways, the benefit shall be in proportion to the estimated traffic volume to be generated by each parcel assessed, or by any other reasonable basis as determined by the legislative body. (2) The annual aggregate amount of the assessment shall not exceed the estimated annual cost of providing the service.
(3) The revenue derived from the assessment shall not be used to pay the cost of any service other than the service for which the assessment was levied.

The 1982 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district.

Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIIID also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways.

The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels.

12 ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the improvements including incidentals and appurtenances is of special benefit to parcels within the district and shall be spread to all developed parcels within the District based on the methodology detailed in this Report.

All administrative costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the improvements including the Engineer’s Report, printing and advertising of assessment notices, County collection fees, and legal fees shall be spread to all parcels on a prorata basis. Monterey County collections fees are 0.25% of the levy amount for collection for administration of the District.

The District consists of two parcels types, residential (single-family homes) and commercial. Residential parcels make up approximately 99% of the District parcels. There are two commercial parcels making up the remainder of the District parcels.

Factored development unit calculations for residential areas are as follows: Low Density residential = 1.0 Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU).

The detention pond, Parcel B, which is for the exclusive use of this development, is not assessed since it provides benefit rather than receiving it.

With the EDUs established, the special benefits must be applied by improvement and land use types. The table on the following page shows the special benefits received by land use. The EDU’s will be multiplied by the Applied Benefit Factor by land use to proportionately spread the assessments based on the special benefits received.

13 One of the most equitable methods of apportionment for applying benefit to different parcel types in the District is the EDU method. Two parcels within the boundaries of the District are commercial. While the residential parcels will be assessed on the basis of one EDU per parcel, the commercial parcel will be assessed 3.8 EDU per acre. The table below shows the total benefit units in the District.

ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT TO MAXIMUM ASSESSMENT
It is generally recognized that most budgetary items will be impacted by inflation in future years. In an effort to minimize the impact this has on maintenance districts, a formula for inflationary adjustments is typically included as a part of the maximum assessment to be approved by the property owners during the formation or restructuring of a district. Prior to the passage of Proposition 218 however, inflationary adjustments were not included as a standard part of the formation and approval process. The District was formed in 1995, prior to the passage of Proposition 218 and did not include an inflationary adjustment for the annual assessments.

As part of the proposed assessment rate increase for the District, it is proposed that an annual inflationary adjustment for the Maximum Assessments be included. An inflationary adjustment will allow the Maximum Assessments established during the reassessment of the District to increase each year so assessment revenues can continue to fund the costs of the maintenance and services.

It is proposed that the assessment rates be increased over the next three (3) years by the amounts shown on the table below and on the Assessment Roll in Appendix A of this Report. This is an effort to minimize the impact of a large assessment rate increase in a single year. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2027/28, the established Maximum Assessment rate shall be increased annually as described below.

Adjustments are based on the change of the Consumer Price Index prior year/month as compared to the year/month assessments are determined (benchmark month for this district is April).

14 The actual annual assessment rate and actual assessments levied in any fiscal year shall be as approved by the City Council and may not exceed the Maximum Assessment rate for that specific fiscal year without a Proposition 218 compliant increase procedure that is approved by property owners.

The Maximum Assessment rate established during the reassessment of the District will be adjusted by the following formula:
• Beginning in Fiscal Year 2027/28, the increase in April CPI shall be applied to the Maximum Assessment rate established the previous fiscal year to calculate the appropriate Adjusted Maximum Assessment rate for the then current fiscal year.
• If the proposed annual assessment rate for the upcoming fiscal year is less than or equal to the Adjusted Maximum Assessment rate established for that fiscal year, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment for purposes of Proposition 218.

The Adjusted Maximum Assessment rate will be calculated independent of the annual budget and proposed assessment rate for the given fiscal year.

3 PART I – BACKGROUND
City Staff has contracted with Harris & Associates (“Harris”) to complete the Engineer’s Report (“Report”) for the proposed increase to the assessment rate for the California Breeze Benefit Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2024/25 and include an annual escalation factor to allow for future increases to the assessment rate, accounting for inflation.

Proposition 218 also established exemptions to its provisions for districts created prior to its passage.

Packet Pg. 141 Attachment: Engineers Report for California Breeze Parks and Open Spaces Assessment District (3042 : Resolution No. 2024-40 and Engineer’s Report
California Breeze Parks and Open Space Maintenance District City of Gonzales
Fiscal Year 2024-25
4 The District is currently deemed exempt from the requirements of Proposition 218 because it was formed prior to the adoption of Proposition 218 in November 1996. As a result, any proposed increase in the assessments, including the addition of a CPI or other annual inflationary adjustment to the existing assessment rate, requires an assessment ballot be mailed to each property owner subject to the increased assessment, and that those property owners must approve the proposed increase or annual adjustment.

In addition to the requirements shown above, any other changes to the Method of Apportionment, resulting in an increased assessment, must also comply with the requirements of Proposition 218.

As of the end of Fiscal Year 2023/2024, the District fund balance is estimated to be negative $243,172 and that deficit continues to grow each year. Additionally, the District has had a fixed assessment amount since the time the District was formed. While the costs of labor, maintenance and utilities have increased over the years due to inflation, the maximum assessment rates have not changed. As a result, and in addition to the proposed maximum assessment rate increase, the City is also proposing an annual inflationary adjustment to the maximum assessment rates which will allow the assessments to be increased to keep up with future maintenance and utility costs as they increase with inflation. This annual inflationary adjustment will be identical to the other Districts in the City and is detailed in Part V of this Report.

Notice and Ballot
The City Council will approve a Resolution ordering a Notice of Public Hearing and Assessment Ballot be sent to all property owners in the District. One ballot will be provided for each parcel subject to the proposed increase and annual inflationary adjustment. Assessment Ballots and Notices of Public Hearing will be mailed to the record owner(s) of the parcels at least 45 days prior to the date of a Public Hearing. At the close of the Public Hearing, returned ballots will be tabulated (the public will have the opportunity to view the tabulation process) and interested persons can “hear and be heard” concerning the ballot process and the proposed increases and adjustments.

If approved, the increased assessments will be collected on the annual County property tax bills commencing with Fiscal Year 2024/2025.

7 PART IV – QUANTIFICATION OF BENEFIT
Quantification of Benefit
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on the benefit received.

GENERAL BENEFIT
The construction, maintenance and operation of the above listed improvements was only necessary for the development of properties within the Districts. As such, these improvements were not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District boundaries and any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental.

General benefits must also be applied to renters (non-property owners) residing in the District. In looking at the number of renters within the District over the previous three years, the highest number of rental properties during that time period was 20. Based on the total number of homes in the District (317) and the parcel area for the commercial properties, the Average Daily Trips (ADT) can be determined using vehicular traffic generation rates. The table shown below shows the calculation of ADT and the corresponding general benefit percentage. This percentage and the corresponding amount of the Total Expenditures is shown as a contribution in the Estimate of Costs table shown in Part III.

8 SPECIAL BENEFIT
The special benefits are:

Street Landscaping
• Enhanced desirability of properties
• Reduction of dust & debris
• Improved aesthetic appeal of properties through positive representation of area. • Increased sense of pride in ownership from well-maintained improvements.

Pedestrian Pathways
• Opportunity for exercise
• Access to parks and commercial areas
Meyer Park Maintenance
• Recreational opportunities
• Aesthetic benefits provided by well-maintained parks and open spaces • Public safety benefits from the maintenance of parks and open spaces and reduction of litter These benefits impact the assessed properties in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels not within the District and that real property in general and the public at large do not share. The improvements also were installed as a condition of development for the California Breeze tract and would not have been installed otherwise. Since these improvements were installed and are maintained especially for the benefit of properties within the District, all assessable properties in the District receive a special benefit and are assessed for the special benefits conferred by the improvements.

Since parcels in the District receive differing levels of special benefit due to variations in size. Single-family homes are typically about 0.22 acres. The commercial properties in the District are larger, 2.193 and 10.739 acres, respectively. As a result of the larger size and the fact that commercial properties generate more traffic and other visitors to their location, they benefit more from the streetlighting, road maintenance and the drainage system improvements in the District. Please see below for additional information.

9 PART V – METHOD OF A PPORTIONMENT
Method of Apportionment
GENERAL PROVISIONS – SPECIAL BENEFIT
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.

The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the improvements including incidentals and appurtenances is of special benefit to parcels within the district and shall be spread to all developed parcels within the District based on the methodology detailed in this Report.

All administrative costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the improvements including the Engineer’s Report, printing and advertising of assessment notices, County collection fees and legal fees shall be spread to all parcels on a pro-rata basis. Monterey County collection fees are 0.25% of the levy amount for collection for administration of the District.

Factored development unit calculations for residential areas are as follows: Low Density residential = 1.0 Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU)

10 With the EDUs established, the special benefits must be applied by improvement and land use types. The table on the following page shows the special benefits received by land use. The EDUs will be multiplied by the Applied Benefit Factor by land use to proportionately spread the assessments based on the special benefits received.

One of the most equitable methods of apportionment for applying benefit to different parcel types in the District is the EDU method. Two parcels within the boundaries of the District are commercial. While the residential parcels will be assessed on the basis of one EDU per parcel, the commercial parcel will be assessed 3.8 EDU per acre. The table below shows the total benefit units in the District.

11 Annual Adjustment to Maximum Assessment
It is generally recognized that most budgetary items will be impacted by inflation in future years. In an effort to minimize the impact this has on maintenance districts, a formula for inflationary adjustments is typically included as a part of the maximum assessment to be approved by the property owners during the formation or restructuring of a district. Prior to the passage of Proposition 218 however, inflationary adjustments were not included as a standard part of the formation and approval process. The District was formed in 1995, prior to the passage of Proposition 218 and did not include an inflationary adjustment for the annual assessments.

It is proposed that the assessment rates be increased over the next four (4) years by the amounts shown in the table below and on the Assessment Roll in Appendix A of this Report. This is an effort to minimize the impact of a large assessment rate increase in a single year. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2028/29, the established Maximum Assessment rate shall be increased annually as described below.

The actual annual assessment rate and actual assessments levied in any fiscal year shall be as approved by the City Council and may not exceed the Maximum Assessment rate for that specific fiscal year without a Proposition 218 compliant increase procedure that is approved by property owners.

12 The Maximum Assessment rate established during the reassessment of the District will be adjusted by the following formula:
• Beginning in Fiscal Year 2028/29, following the four-year rate adjustments, the increase in April CPI shall be applied to the Maximum Assessment rate established the previous fiscal year to calculate the appropriate Adjusted Maximum Assessment rate for the then current fiscal year. • If the proposed annual assessment rate for the upcoming fiscal year is less than or equal to the Adjusted Maximum Assessment rate established for that fiscal year, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment for purposes of Proposition 218.

The Adjusted Maximum Assessment rate will be calculated independent of the annual budget and proposed assessment rate for the given fiscal year.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: July 22, 2024
FROM: Michael Rodriquez, City Attorney
THROUGH: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2024-42 Approving and Accepting the Gonzales Police Department’s AB 481 Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Annual Military Equipment Report Pursuant to Government Code Section 7071(D), and Renewing City of Gonzales Ordinance No. 2022-131 “Approving Gonzales Police Department Policy Manual Policy 709-Military Equipment.”

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider and adopt Resolution No. 2024-42, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Approving and Accepting the Gonzales Police Department’s AB 481 Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Annual Military Equipment Report Pursuant to Government Code Section 7071(d), and Renewing City of Gonzales Ordinance No. 2022-131 “Approving Gonzales Police Department Policy Manual Policy 709-Military Equipment.”

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

Government Code Section 7071(e)(1) states that a governing body shall review any ordinance that 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), to vote on whether to renew the ordinance at a regular meeting.

AGENDA
ITEM
20 Packet Pg. 174
Paragraph (e)(2) of Government Code Section 7071 states that the governing body shall determine, based on an annual report, whether each type of military equipment identified in that report has complied with the standards for approval set forth in subdivision (d) of Section 7071, which reads as follows:
(A) The military equipment is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.
(B) The proposed military equipment use policy will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties.
(C) If purchasing the equipment, the equipment is reasonably cost-effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety. (D) Prior military equipment use complied with the military equipment use policy that was in effect at the time, or if prior uses did not comply with the accompanying military equipment use policy, corrective action has been taken to remedy nonconforming uses and ensure future compliance.

If the governing body determines that a type of military equipment identified in its annual military equipment report has not complied with the standards for approval set forth above, the governing body shall either disapprove a renewal of the authorization for that type of military equipment or require modifications to the military equipment use policy in a manner that will resolve the lack of compliance.

In order to facilitate the orderly annual ordinance review referenced above, Government Code Section 7072 requires that any law enforcement agency that receives approval for a military equipment use policy pursuant to Section 7071 shall submit to the government body an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved by the governing body within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The law enforcement agency shall also make each annual military equipment report required by this section publicly available on its internet website for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The annual military equipment report shall, at a minimum, include the following information for the immediately preceding year for each type of military equipment:
(1) A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use. (2) A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment. (3) The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the military equipment use policy, and any actions taken in response.
(4) 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 calendar year following submission of the annual military equipment report.
(5) The quantity possessed for each type of military equipment. (6) If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment.

A copy of the Gonzales Police Department’s AB 481 Annual Report 2023-24 is attached hereto as Attachment 1.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The City Council considered and adopted Ordinance No. 2022-131 “Approving Gonzales Police Department Policy Manual Policy 709- Military Equipment” on June 20, 2022. During the June 20 meeting, and the prior meeting at which Ordinance No. 2022-131 was introduced, the Council took comment from the public and discussed the ordinance and involved policy.

Packet Pg. 175
On June 3, 2024, the Council received the Police Department’s Annual Report on military equipment.

The Report was thereafter posted on the City’s website on June 7, 2024. Staff also publicized the date and location of the required “Community Engagement Meeting” concerning the Report, set as a part of the City Council’s regular meeting agenda for July 22, 2024, through social media, postings, and as a part of the City Council’s posting of its meeting agenda. Policy 709 has been continuously posted on the City website since adoption.

The Annual Report is meant to provide yearly information about each type of military equipment that was approved by Council. In Gonzales, the only military equipment possessed by the Police Department is nine (9) semi-automatic rifles, three (3) 38mm “Less Lethal Projectile Launchers,” and an Unmanned Aerial System (“drone”), whose purchase and use was approved by the City Council in October of 2023 by Ordinance 2023-141. The Report contains a summary of how such equipment was used, any complaints or concerns received about the equipment, and any associated costs related to the equipment’s use. For this reporting period, the only new military equipment purchased was the aforementioned drone, all equipment was utilized for periodic limited or minimal use in the public and/or for training purposes, and all costs were contained within budget appropriations. The Report does not seek approval of future acquisitions of military equipment.

The Council should hold a community meeting to receive comment upon and to discuss the Annual Report. Thereafter, State law requires that the City review and consider renewal of its ordinance and military equipment policy. With the exception of the drone, whose use has been fully vetted by Ordinance 2023-141, there have been no changes in the types or use of military equipment held by the Police Department in the past year and as such, all of the findings made by the Council in support of the adoption of Policy 709 in 2022 should remain unchanged. Based on this determination, staff believes that both the Annual Report and Ordinance and Policy 709 can be renewed for another year by way of resolution finding that the Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with legal requirements and that there have been no changes to the policy and no immediate plans to acquire any additional military equipment. The adoption of a new ordinance is not needed at this time.

Staff notes that subsequent to the preparation and posting of the Annual Report the City received oral complaints and concerns expressed during public comment at Council meetings about the use of the Police Department’s drone. None of the complaints, including statements about alleged privacy violations, use of the drone in inclement weather, and use for illegal fireworks detection and enforcement, were substantiated or determined to be applicable to the Police Department’s use of a drone. As such, no modification to Policy 709 has been deemed warranted.

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.

ALTERNATIVES
• Adopt Resolution No. 2024-42 “Approving and Accepting the Gonzales Police Department’s AB 481 Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Annual Military Equipment Use Report Pursuant to Government Code Section 7071(d) and Renewing City of Gonzales Ordinance No. 2022-131 “Approving Gonzales Police Department Policy Manual Policy 709-Military Equipment.” • Council could make changes to the Military Equipment Policy and/or Ordinance No. 2022-131 if the Council determines that there has been non-compliance with standards set forth in subdivision (d) of Section 7071 of the Government Code. Council can also renew or disapprove renewal of the authorization for that type of military equipment or require modifications to the military equipment policy in a manner that will address and resolve lack of compliance.

BUDGET IMPACT
There will not be any new, unplanned direct fiscal impacts in continuing the ownership and minimal use of equipment already in the Police Department’s inventory or continuing to collaborate with other law enforcement agencies utilizing miliary equipment, including in mutual aid circumstances. Maintenance costs of existing equipment, if any, is within the Police Department’s budget.

CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the City Council consider and adopt Resolution No. 2024-42, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Approving and Accepting the Gonzales Police Department’s AB 481 Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Annual Military Equipment Report Pursuant to Government Code Section 7071(d), and Renewing City of Gonzales Ordinance No. 2022-131 “Approving Gonzales Police Department Policy Manual Policy 709-Military Equipment.” Attachments:

BACKGROUND
By law, the City is required to schedule annual hearings to set assessments to pay for the costs and expenses of operating, maintaining and servicing public improvements and facilities located within each of the assessment districts that have been previously established by the City. The City’s Designated Engineer of Work, Harris & Associates (“Harris”), 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 Preliminary Engineer’s Reports were filed with the City Clerk on or about May 15, 2024 and were and are available for review upon request.

REVIEW & ANALYSIS
On June 3, 2024, the City Council approved Resolutions 2024-18 through 2024-25 providing preliminary approval of the Engineer’s Reports for each of the involved districts and setting the public hearing date for consideration of the assessments for each district as July 22, 2024. Public notice for the hearing for each of the district resolutions was published on July 10, 2024. The attached resolutions, if approved, will provide final approval of the Engineer’s Report for each district, authorize the levy and collection of said assessments, and order the maintenance, operating and/or servicing of the improvements identified in each Engineer’s Report. Labor, overhead and staff costs are also included in the proposed assessments.

At the time the Reports were received the CPI for the previous year was unavailable so a placeholder of 5% was used for preliminary calculations. Since that time, the applicable CPI has been determined as

3.767% and has been used in finalizing all assessment calculations.

Consideration and action on the eight (8) resolutions should only be taken after the public hearing for each district (or groupings of districts) has been completed. Once the resolutions have been approved, Staff has been directed to forward the documents to the County so that the assessments can be paid through the property tax roll system.

The assessments set forth below have been identified for each of the districts for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

Details on how the fees were calculated are included in each respective Engineer’s Report. Harris is recommending that the City adjust the maximum assessments (the highest assessment that could be levied in any given year during the life of a district) for the Canyon Creek, Cipriani, and Industrial Park Districts by the CPI for the previous year, established at 3.767%. The California Breeze Benefit Assessment Districts do not have provisions for annual CPI adjustments. There is no change in the proposed Fiscal Packet Pg. 200
Year 2024-2025 annual assessments from last year for the California Breeze, Canyon Creek, Cipriani Estates and Gonzales Industrial assessment districts. The proposed assessment amounts to be collected in the upcoming year should be adequate to address relevant labor and material costs. (Except in California Breeze, where fiscal year costs exceed allowable maximum assessments that as noted above, cannot be increased.) The Council may need to consider increased assessments in upcoming years to establish and maintain capital reserve fund balances.

The fees for 2024-2025 will be as follows:

California Breeze Benefit Assessment District No. 1 - Per House $187.00 No. 1 - Commercial $141.14
No. 2 - Per House $185.34
No. 3 - Per House $234.68
California Breeze Parks and Open Spaces
Maintenance Assessment District Phase 1 - Per House $227.00 Phase 1 - Commercial $88.90
Phase 2 - Per House $227.00
Phase 3 - Per House $271.76

Canyon Creek Parks and Open Spaces
Maintenance Assessment District No. 1 - Per House $600.00 No. 2 - Per House $600.00
No. 3 - Per House $486.00
No. 3 MDR - Per Unit $486.00
Gonzales Industrial Park Benefit
Assessment District Per Acre $1,305.00
Gonzales Industrial Park Landscape
Maintenance Assessment District Per Acre $440.00
Cipriani Estates Benefit Assessment District Per House $750.00 Lots 1-7 - $1,052.04 (base assessment plus
additional Storm Drain Maintenance charge)
Cipriani Estates Parks and Open Spaces
Maintenance Assessment District Per House $610.00
All funds collected for each district will be used for the routine maintenance and operation of the public improvements and facilities identified in each Engineer’s Report, labor, overhead, and staff costs, and for maintaining capital reserve fund balances.

Staff recommends that the Council adopt each of the resolutions confirming district diagrams and assessments and levying said assessments in the respective Benefit and Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts.

INTRODUCTION
City Staff has contracted with Harris & Associates (“Harris”) to complete the annual administration process for all of City’s assessment districts. In addition to this required annual process, Harris has conducted an assessment district fund balance and capital asset replacement cash flow analysis to confirm and ensure that the City’s assessment districts annually assess property owners only for the essential funding to complete ongoing maintenance activities and finance timely capital replacement as assets reach the end of their useable lifecycles.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICTS

7 PART II – ESTIMATE OF COSTS
Estimate of Costs
All improvements within the Districts are maintained and serviced on a regular basis. Based upon the available revenues generated by the assessment, City staff determines the frequency and specific maintenance operations which can be provided in a given year.

The proposed budget is shown on the following page. This includes an estimate of the costs of utilities, operations, services, administration and maintenance associated with the improvements within the Districts, including all labor, personnel, equipment, materials and administrative expenses. The budget summary also shows the estimated fund balance and the projected fund reserves that will be available and may be required based upon the estimated expenditures and assessment revenue.

Beginning in Fiscal Year 2021-22, the City combined the budget page to show only the total expenditures, revenues, etc. for the District, rather than showing the expenditures and revenues by individual phases of the development, as had been done in previous years.

The amounts collected for the current year, if any, are shown in the Budget table above. The Beginning Balances for the Capital Reserve Funds were initially transferred from the Operating Reserve Fund. The amounts in the Operating Reserve Funds should be sufficient to pay for the operations and maintenance costs for the first six months of the fiscal year. Any addition to or (reduction from) the Capital Reserve Fund will be shown and calculated annually in the same manner as the Operating Reserve Fund. Also, any funds collected for Capital Reserve, and not spent, will be included in the ending Capital Reserve fund balance the following year.

11 PART IV – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Method of Apportionment
GENERAL PROVISIONS – SPECIAL BENEFIT
Pursuant to the 1982 Act and Article XIIID, all parcels that receive a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. Chapter 6.4, Division 2, Title 5, of the Government Code, the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, permits the establishment of assessment districts by Cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements that include street maintenance.

The 1982 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district.

The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. The costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the improvements maintained for each zone are apportioned in accordance with the methodology which was established by the City Council upon formation of the Districts.

12 GENERAL PROVISIONS – GENERAL BENEFIT
Although the improvements may include public streets and drainage facilities that connect to similar facilities outside the Districts’ boundaries, the construction, maintenance and operation of these improvements are only necessary for the development of properties within the Districts. As such, these improvements were not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the Districts’ boundaries and any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental. Therefore, it has been determined that the ongoing maintenance, servicing and operation of the District’s improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the Districts or to the public at large, but clearly provide distinct and special benefits to properties within the Districts.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
Method of Assessment – BAD Phase 1
All costs associated with the maintenance and operation of BAD Phase 1 improvements including Engineer’s Report, printing and advertising of assessment notices, County collection fees and legal fees shall be spread to all parcels on a pro-rata development unit basis.

One hundred percent (100%) of all costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the BAD 1 improvementsincluding incidentals and appurtenances is of special benefit to parcels within the district and shall be spread to all developed parcels within the District on a pro-rata development unit basis. Developed parcels are those parcels on which final map has been filed. Said parcels are also abutting or obtaining primary access from a public street.

Undeveloped parcels without an approved tentative Map shall be assessed for zero (0) the total of potential development units.

Factored development unit calculations for residential areas are as follows: Low Density residential = 1.0 Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU)
Office and commercial use is assessed based on an equivalent basis of 3.8 EDUs per acre using the gross parcel area. The resulting parcel A area, as shown on the assessment diagram, is assessed at 13.6 EDUs.

Monterey County charges 0.25% of the levy amount for collection for administration of the District.

Proposed and existing community or neighborhood park lands are of special benefit to parcels within Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3, and are not assessed (Parcels B and C), as shown on the assessment diagram. The detention pond, Parcel B, which is for the exclusive use of this development, is not assessed.

The neighborhood park, Parcel C, was a development requirement, and was constructed by this development.

The assessment costs for the operation; maintenance and servicing of the improvements are apportioned in accordance with the methodology which was established by the City Council upon formation of the District. It was determined at that time that the most equitable method for spreading the estimated benefit received by each parcel in BAD Phase 1 should be based on the EDU method. One parcel within the boundaries of BAD Phase 1 is designated under a commercial land use. While the residential parcels will be assessed on the basis of one EDU per parcel, the commercial parcel will be assessed four (4) EDU per acre. The formula is as follows:

14 Parcels owned by the City of Gonzales are not assessed, which include Parcel “A”, right-of-way reservation, right-of-way for a future grade separation structure, and Parcel “B”, the retention pond site, which was constructed to serve this development.

The assessment costs for the operation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements are apportioned in accordance with the methodology which was established by the City Council upon formation of the District. It was determined at that time that the most equitable method for spreading the estimated benefit received by each parcel in BAD Phase 3 should be based on the EDU method. The formula is as follows:

Items included in this category include salaries, overtime, Workers's Comp, Retirement & Insurance (Life, Health & FICA).

Reserve collections from the Budget page are lower than shown in Appendix D because the current assessment rate cannot support higher collection amounts.

The California Breeze Landscape Maintenance District has 3 separate phases. The assessment amounts for each are as follows:

Beginning in Fiscal Year 2017/18, a Capital Reserve Fund was established for the District. The amounts collected for the current year, if any, are shown in the Budget table above. The Beginning Balances for the Capital Reserve Funds were initially transferred from the Operating Reserve Fund. The amounts in the Operating Reserve Funds should be sufficient to pay for the operations and maintenance costs for the first six months of the fiscal year. Any addition to or (reduction from) the Capital Reserve Fund will be shown and calculated annually in the same manner as the Operating Reserve Fund. Also, any funds collected for Capital Reserve, and not spent, will be included in the ending Capital Reserve fund balance the following year. Currently, the District Assessments do not have the capacity to collect any reserve amounts. Assessments must be increased in order to begin collecting funds for Capital improvement projects.

Expenditures for the percolation pond for Phase I & II & commercial serves only these areas. The percolation pond for Phase III only serves Phase III and thus is assessed separately.

The cost for capital replacement reserve for the items shown in Appendix D, Capital Reserve Replacement Study which was completed in FY 2017/18. Tree replacement and street repair was added to the Budget for 2019/20.

10 PART IV – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Method of Apportionment

GENERAL PROVISIONS
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.

BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on improvements as determined at the time the District was established.

General Benefits
The improvements within this District are a direct result of property development within the District and would otherwise not be required or necessary. Developers typically install landscape improvements to enhance the marketability and value of properties within the development and/or as conditions of development. In either case, the improvements are clearly installed for the benefit of the properties developed and not for the benefit of surrounding properties.

Although many landscape improvements (by virtue of their location), may be visible to surrounding properties or to the public at large, any benefit to surrounding properties is incidental and cannot be considered a direct and special benefit to those properties. Therefore, it has been determined that the improvements within this District and the ongoing operation and maintenance of those improvements are clearly a direct and special benefit to properties within the District.

Unless otherwise noted, these improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large.

California Breeze Parks and Open Spaces
City of Gonzales
Fiscal Year 2024-25
11 Special Benefits
The method of apportionment (assessment methodology) approved at the time the District was formed is based on the premise that each of the assessed parcels within the District receives benefit from the improvements maintained and financed by annual assessments. Specifically, the assessments are for the maintenance of local landscape improvements installed as part of the original improvement. The desirability and safety of properties within the District are enhanced by the presence of well-maintained landscaping. The special benefits associated with the local landscaping improvements are specifically:
• Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements. • Improved aesthetic appeal of properties within the District providing a positive representation of the area.
• Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping.
• Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from wellmaintained improvements associated with the properties.

All of the preceding special benefits contribute to a specific enhancement and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District.

Non-Assessable Parcels
Within the boundaries of the District, there are properties that are considered to receive no special benefit from the District improvements and are therefore not assessed. Parcels owned by the City of Gonzales are not assessed.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The District is assessed on the basis of total development units generated for the costs of the maintenance and operation of the District including incidentals and appurtenances and shall include all the costs of maintaining and/or operating the improvements described herein.

All costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the District improvements including Engineer’s Report, printing and advertising of assessment notices, County collection fees, and legal fees shall be spread to all parcels on a pro-rata development unit basis.

One hundred percent (100%) of all costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the California Breeze Parks and Open Spaces (Annexation of California Breeze Phase III) improvements including incidentals and appurtenances is of special benefit to parcels within the district and shall be spread to all parcels within the District on a development unit basis. The park was constructed as a requirement of this development to serve the 331- lot subdivision development.

12 Developed parcels are those parcels on which final subdivision map has been filed, and which can obtain building permits as of the Public Hearing date. Said parcels are also abutting or obtaining primary access from a public street.

Factored development unit calculations are as follows: Low Density Residential = 1.0 Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU); Office and commercial use is assessed based on an equivalent basis of 3.8 EDUs per acre using the gross parcel area. The resulting parcel “A” area, as shown on the assessment diagram, is assessed at 13.6 EDUs. There is no assessment for park maintenance for the Office and commercial use parcels.

Monterey County charges 0.25% of the levy amount for collection for administration of the District.

Parcels owned by the City of Gonzales are not assessed, which include Parcel “A”, right-of-way reservation, rightof-way for a future grade separation structure, and Parcel “B”, the retention pond site, which was constructed to serve this development. These parcels receive no benefit from the maintenance and servicing of the improvements.

The District assessments have no annual escalation factor, meaning the assessment rates are fixed. In order for the assessments to be increased, the property owners must approve the increase through a Proposition 218 ballot procedure.

12 GENERAL PROVISIONS – GENERAL BENEFIT
Although the improvements may include public streets and drainage facilities that connect to similar facilities outside the Districts’ boundaries, the construction, maintenance and operation of these improvements are only necessary for the development of properties within the Districts. As such, these improvements were not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the Districts’ boundaries and any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental. Therefore, it has been determined that the ongoing maintenance, servicing and operation of the District’s improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the Districts or to the public at large, but clearly provide distinct and special benefits to properties within the Districts.
