Beatriz Diaz stated that she agreed with the City Attorney and stated that all the seats would be filled after the election.
Mayor Pro-tem asked what was going to happen once the judge signed the writ that the appointment was not legal. She stated that the Council was going to have to re-do votes and there was going to be more to do. She stated that the Council would have to acknowledge that the person did not resign from the position; the appointment was illegal. She stated that language mattered and that Mr. Tipton did choose to resign on the day he resigned; however, that was not the reason why he wasn’t here moving forward.
City Attorney Thompson suggested that the Council wait for the writ so the City would know exactly what language was in it and then from there, Council might want to make a statement, as a body, stating what officially occurred. City Attorney Thompson also stated that as a legal standpoint the Council would have to do some ratification of votes at an upcoming meeting.

52 MEMORANDUM: November 7, 2024
AGENDA DATE: November 12, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Transportation Agency of Monterey County (TAMC)
TITLE: PRESENTATION ON THE SALINAS VALLEY SAFE ROUTES TO
SCHOOL PLAN
BACKGROUND:
The Transportation Agency for Monterey County, Monterey County Health Department, Ecology Action, and the cities of Gonzales, Soledad, Greenfield, and King City have partnered to develop the Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan ("Plan"). The three-year planning process identified barriers to safe access to 22 public schools in South Monterey County cities and recommended infrastructure and non-infrastructure improvements.
The Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan identifies barriers to safe, convenient transportation and will guide future improvements around 22 public schools in five school districts. Recommendations included in the Plan are designed to help address school-based traffic congestion and improve student health by fostering increased biking, walking, and carpooling. The project team, comprised of staff from the Transportation Agency, County Health Department, Public Works staff from the four cities, School Districts, and non-profit Ecology Action, have engaged administrators, parents, and students in school bike/walk assessments, mapping activities, street demonstrations, and surveys.
The Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan kicked off in spring 2022 with outreach in the City of Greenfield. The planning team conducted walking audits at each of the six public schools in Greenfield, gave 10 presentations at parent meetings, and received 540 responses to an online parent survey. In fall 2022, the planning team drafted and received community input on a list of infrastructure and non-infrastructure recommendations around the Greenfield schools.
Starting with Greenfield in fall 2022, the planning team planned and implemented four pilot projects, one in each city, to demonstrate some of the recommendations included in the plan and get community feedback. The Greenfield pilot project was held on 12th Street. The planning City Council Memorandum
599 El Camino Real Greenfield CA 93927 (831) 674-5591
www.ci.greenfield.ca.us
53 team also formed Steering Committees in each of the four cities. Steering Committees led a democratic process, called Participatory Budgeting, where community members vote to decide how public funds are spent. TAMC is providing up to $250,000 to each city to implement the highest voted projects.
REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The project team is now seeking input on the Draft Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan, including infrastructure recommendations to improve access to the six public schools in Greenfield. The Executive Summary is included as an attachment to this report, and the full Plan for Greenfield is linked below. The final Plan is anticipated to be adopted in January 2024. Once the Plan has been adopted, the Cities of Gonzales, Soledad, Greenfield, and King City and TAMC staff will pursue funding to implement recommendations in the Plan.
The Plan includes Citywide recommendations for bicycle and pedestrian corridor improvements, as well as recommendations around each school site and noninfrastructure recommendations for education and encouragement programs. All recommendations are planning-level and require further analysis prior to construction.
The projects in this plan will be implemented over time as funding becomes available.
With limited funding, the City of Greenfield must decide how to prioritize the recommendations. The Plan identifies a list of eight high-priority corridors that were evaluated based on common grant criteria. These corridors were scored to help City staff and decision-makers prioritize projects and identify the most competitive projects for various grant opportunities. Grant programs often prioritize large-scale, corridor-wide improvements, and future grant applications are likely to focus on improvements to one or more streets in Greenfield rather than individual projects.
Some projects that are low cost and have community support can be incorporated into the City’s maintenance programs and installed as part of ongoing road maintenance. City staff will review the Safe Routes to Schools Plan project list when planning maintenance projects to look for ways to incorporate bike and pedestrian improvements. This allows for a highly cost-effective strategy for implementing the projects included in this plan. For larger projects, leveraging local funds with additional grant funding will be critical. Having an approved Safe Routes to Schools Plan in place is a strategy to make Salinas Valley cities more competitive in future grant applications for construction funding.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
AMC secured grant funding to develop the Plan through Caltrans’ Sustainable Transportation Planning grant program and provided Measure X Safe Routes to School Program matching funds.
Greenfield City staff have contributed staff time to develop the plan. 54 Attachments:

55 Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan
Executive Summary
The Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan describes community-identified needs and recommendations for infrastructure projects and programs that support walking, bicycling, and carpooling to 22 schools in Gonzales, Soledad, Greenfield, and King City. The plan also identifies possible funding sources and implementation priorities. The recommendations in this plan are aimed at supporting healthy communities, improving affordable transportation options for low-income and vulnerable residents, and helping the four cities improve safety and meet statewide goals to address climate change by reducing vehicle miles traveled.
This plan was funded with a Sustainable Communities Transportation Planning Grant from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and local matching funds, and it is aligned with the regional and statewide plans and concepts included in the Caltrans District 5 Active Transportation Plan.
The vision for all students and families following the implementation of the Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan is as follows:
• I can walk or bike to school safely.
• My trip to school helps our environment, builds healthy habits, and saves my family money. • I am more connected to my neighborhood and community through my trip to school. • I have the skills and confidence I need to travel to school safely without using a car.
Plan Contents
The introduction and outreach chapters include an overall introduction and a summary of outreach for the project. The remainder of the plan is divided into four sections, one for each of the four cities.
Chapter 1: Introduction. The first chapter describes the purpose of the plan, the benefits of walking and biking to school, and the plan’s relationship to other local planning efforts.
Chapter 2: Outreach. This chapter describes the outreach goals for the project and summarizes the various outreach methods used to involve community members in the planning process.
Chapter 3: Gonzales.
• 3A. Existing Conditions. This section describes the demographics and commute patterns of Gonzales residents, and existing bike, pedestrian, and transit facilities. It also includes an analysis of bicycle and pedestrian collisions and a description of the existing bicycle and pedestrian programs that are currently available to residents. • 3B. Outreach. This section describes the public outreach that took place in Gonzales, including community survey data from the temporary pilot project that was installed as part of the planning process.

Goals and Objectives
The cities of Gonzales, Greenfield, King City, and Soledad and partner agencies have set the following goals and objectives for the future of Safe Routes to Schools, to be accomplished through the projects and programs in this plan.
Goal 1. Encouragement: The majority of children will arrive at school by foot, bicycle, scooter, skateboard, bus, or carpool.
• Objective 1.1: Identify and promote a broad spectrum of projects to provide a connected network of active transportation options along Safe Routes to Schools corridors and connections.
• Objective 1.2: Design and construct street improvements that are accessible and comfortable for all ages and abilities. Incorporate tree planting into active transportation projects to provide shade for people who are walking and bicycling.
• Objective 1.3: Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC), schools, and the cities will support events that encourage active transportation to school, such as “Walk & Roll to School,” at least twice a year.
• Objective 1.4: Work with schools and Safe Routes to Schools partners to provide walking school buses at all elementary schools.
• Objective 1.5: Work with schools and Safe Routes to Schools partners to promote Safe Routes to Schools corridors as the preferred routes to school.
DRAFT 58
Goal 2. Safety: Zero collisions involving bikes or pedestrians that result in injury or death. • Objective 2.1: Prioritize Safe Routes to Schools projects that address fatal and severe-injury crashes.
• Objective 2.2: Prioritize projects on school routes that reduce traffic speeds to 25 mph or less and increase the separations between pedestrians and bicyclists and motor vehicle traffic. • Objective 2.3: Enhance low-stress alternative routes to high-stress corridors. • Objective 2.4: Prioritize safety over travel speed, convenience, and congestion reduction in project design.
• Objective 2.5: Crossing guards will be present at all elementary schools. • Objective 2.6: Provide annual updates on safety projects and traffic collisions to governing bodies.
Goal 3. Education: All children in the Salinas Valley will receive traffic safety education. • Objective 3.1: Incorporate bicycle and pedestrian safety education into the curriculum in all elementary schools.
• Objective 3.2: By second grade, all children will receive pedestrian safety training in school; by fifth grade, all children will receive bike safety training in school. • Objective 3.3: By high school, students will know the basics of bike maintenance and have opportunities to practice these skills at school or in the community.
Goal 4. Engagement: Engage the greater community to create safe environments around schools.
• Objective 4.1: Run annual community-wide campaigns that encourage neighbors to keep eyes on the streets and drivers to slow down around schools. • Objective 4.2: Enforce traffic laws in school zones without overburdening offenders. An example would be a diversion program that requires school-zone traffic offenders to assist with crossing guard duties (Austin, TX program model).
• Objective 4.3: Recruit volunteers from the community to assist with Safe Routes to Schools programs such as walking school buses and crossing guards.
Goal 5. Equity: Ensure that all community members have equitable access to schools and Safe Routes to Schools programming.
• Objective 5.1: Prioritize infrastructure projects that serve transportation-disadvantaged and special-needs populations.
• Objective 5.2: Provide opportunities for a diverse group of community members to take leadership roles in the development and implementation of Safe Routes to Schools projects and programs. An example would be positions on a Safe Routes to Schools steering committee. • Objective 5.3: Provide access to active transportation and safety equipment such as bicycles, scooters, helmets, and lights.
DRAFT 59
Outreach Summary
Public input was the foundation of the Safe Routes to Schools Plan. The planning team developed an outreach plan and sought input from community members to understand school transportation needs and barriers and to refine their draft recommendations. Parent and student surveys, presentations at parent meetings, and walking audits with school staff all contributed to the team’s understanding of barriers to walking and biking to school in Salinas Valley cities and the types of improvements community members would like to see.
In addition, Steering Committees were formed in each of the four cities to lead a participatory budgeting process. This is a democratic process in which community members decide how to spend part of a public budget. The Steering Committees were made up of representatives from each city, including students, parents, school staff, advocates, and residents. Each Steering Committee met monthly for nine months to review project recommendations and design an election process for learning from the community about the highest priority projects in the Safe Routes to Schools Plan. TAMC allocated $250,000 per city to construct the highest-priority projects.

Project Prioritization
Key routes to school in each of the four cities were ranked to help decision makers and City staff prioritize projects and identify the most competitive projects for various grant funding opportunities.
Grant programs often prioritize larger-scale, corridor-wide improvements, and future grant applications will likely focus on improvements to one or more streets in each city.
The corridors below were evaluated on four criteria aligned with the vision and goals of this plan and with common grant criteria. Equity scores are based on two sources: free or reduced-price meal data, which is an indicator of family income, and the Healthy Places Index map, which shows data on health indicators such as education, job opportunities, and clean air and water. Each corridor was assigned a number from 0 to 100 based on the criteria in Table 1.

Participatory Budgeting Approved Projects
Participatory budgeting is a democratic process in which community members decide how to spend part of a public budget. TAMC allocated $250,000 per city to construct the highest-priority projects, and Steering Committees were formed in each of the four cities to lead a participatory budgeting process to determine the highest priority projects. The following projects were awarded funding through this process.

Greenfield Safe Routes to Schools Plan
Chapter 4A. Existing Conditions
This chapter discusses the current conditions in Greenfield related to walking, cycling, and transit use.
This includes citywide demographics and commute trends, land use and community destinations, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, transit options, collision data related to walking and cycling, bicycle and pedestrian projects that are currently in progress, and existing programs.
Demographics
Greenfield was home to an estimated 20,561 people in 2024.1 The city has a higher youth population than Monterey County as a whole, with 36% of residents being under the age of 18.2 Seniors represent a smaller proportion, with 6% of residents being over the age of 65.2 The median age is 27.3, which is lower than the median age for Monterey County as a whole.
Among Greenfield residents, 22.6% identify as white, 94% as Hispanic or Latino, and 1% as Asian. Fiftyfour percent of residents did not finish high school, and 21% completed high school as their highest level of education.One quarter of residents have at least some higher education, and 7% have either a bachelor’s or a graduate degree.2
Active transportation investments are especially important in underserved communities, which tend to have higher rates of walking and bicycling. According to the California Department of Education, 92% of students in Greenfield public schools qualify for free and reduced meals, which is a sign of low-income status.3 Sixty two percent of households have incomes of less than $50,000 per year, and 13% of families with children under the age of 18 have incomes below the poverty level.4 Commute Trends
An estimated 6,827 Greenfield residents over the age of 16 are employed, and 69% of those drive to work alone. Greenfield has a lower rate of driving to work alone than Monterey County as a whole.5
Overall, 13% of Greenfield residents carpool to work. Less than 1% walk, bike, or take public transit.
About 1% of residents work from home.5
Although some Greenfield commuters travel outside Monterey County for work, the vast majority (97%) stay within the county. The average commute time to places of employment is 22 minutes. 27% of commuters travel for more than 30 minutes daily, and 8% travel for 45 minutes or more.5
Although commute trips have the best available data on travel modes, they represent only a percentage 1 State of California Department of Finance, 2022.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau.
Land Use and Major Destinations
Greenfield is bisected by Highway 101, with most of the city located on the west side of the highway.
Residential neighborhoods, one elementary school, and industrial areas are located to the east, and students from those neighborhoods must cross the highway to reach Vista Verde Middle School and Greenfield High. There are three bridges across Highway 101, at Walnut, Oak, and Elm Avenues.
Commercial areas are located primarily on the west side of the highway along El Camino Real and Walnut Avenue. Another key destination is Patriot Park, which includes the Greenfield Community Center and the Greenfield Library.
Existing Bicycle Network
There is currently one type of bicycle facility in Greenfield: class II bicycle lanes. Other streets have been designated as class III bicycle routes or regional routes. See below for definitions of each facility type.
Class II bicycle lanes are located on portions of streets, primarily where new development has occurred.
Sections of El Camino Real, Walnut Avenue, Oak Avenue, 13th Street, and 3rd Street have bicycle lanes.
Class III bicycle routes have been identified primarily for wayfinding purposes to guide people to preferred routes where there are no streets with bicycle lanes. Several streets near schools, including Walnut Avenue and Oak Avenue, have been identified as bicycle routes.
Class II Bicycle Lane
These are on-street facilities that use striping and stencils to designate spaces for bicycle travel. Bike lanes delineate the rights-of-way assigned to cyclists and motorists and provide for more predictable movements by each. In general, pavement markings alone do not measurably enhance cycling conditions.
DRAFT 66
Class III Bicycle Route
These are routes designated for bicycle and motor vehicle travel, with shared-use pavement markings.
Shared-lane markings help cyclists with lateral positioning to reduce their chances of hitting the open doors of parked vehicles, to alert other road users to the locations cyclists are likely to occupy in the roadway, and to encourage safe passing of cyclists by motorists. Shared-use markings are only feasible on streets with speed limits of 35 mph or less. Bike routes are identified with signage and shared-lane bicycle markings or “sharrows.”
Regional Bike Routes
The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) developed a Pedestrian and Bicyclist Wayfinding Plan for Monterey County in 2016, in which it identified a network of regional bicycle routes.
Regional routes connect key destinations within the county and either currently have class I multi-use paths, class II bike lanes, or class III bike routes, or are planned to have bicycle facilities in the future.
DRAFT 67
Figure 2. Greenfield Bicycle Facilities
Existing Pedestrian Network
Greenfield has good sidewalk coverage in neighborhoods close to the city center, with sidewalk present on nearly all roadways. There is missing sidewalk on some roadways on the edge or outside of city limits, DRAFT 68
including portions of 13th Street and Elm Avenue between 12th Street and Gianolini Parkway. Some streets east of Highway 101 have intermittent sidewalk gaps, including Oak Avenue, Maple Avenue, and 3rd Street.
Curb ramps provide access between the sidewalk and the street for people with disabilities, children on bicycles, and people pushing strollers. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), upgraded curb ramps must include warnings that are detectable by people with vision impairments. As the City repaves streets and installs roadway improvements, upgraded curb ramps are installed at intersections to comply with ADA standards.
Existing Transit Network
Greenfield Unified School District provides busing for special education students and students who live outside the City of Greenfield. For the most part, bus transportation is not available for students living within the city, although Cesar Chavez Elementary does have bus service for students living west of Highway 101. The South Monterey County Joint Union High School District does not provide busing for Greenfield High students.
In addition to the transportation offered by school districts, Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST) offers bus transportation to the public. Youths aged 18 and younger receive discounted fares for all trips.
Active Transportation Safety
Bicycle- and pedestrian-related collision data can be used to identify high-level collision trends and locations with high rates of bicycle and pedestrian collisions. This analysis uses data from UC Berkeley’s Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) over the ten-year period from 1/1/2012 to 12/31/2021.
Note that the TIMS data include reported injury collisions only: many bicycle and pedestrian collisions are not reported and therefore are not represented in this analysis.
Greenfield has significant rates of collisions involving both bicyclists and pedestrians, with 30 pedestrian collisions and 18 bicyclist collisions between 2012 and 2021.6 In the 2017 California Office of Traffic Safety crash rankings report, Greenfield ranked worst for pedestrian collisions involving youths under 15, among cities of similar size.7 Greenfield also ranked in the top ten for total fatal and injury crashes in 2020, again in comparison to cities of a similar size.7 People walking and bicycling in Greenfield are disproportionately involved in collisions relative to people who are driving. TIMS data show that between 2012 and 2021, 20% of serious-injury and fatality collisions in Greenfield involved pedestrians and 12% involved bicyclists.8 This is disproportionate to walking and biking rates in the city; less than 1% of work trips are made by walking or bicycling.9 Bicycle Safety
Over the ten-year study period, there were 18 bicycle-related injury collisions in Greenfield, with an average of 1.8 collisions per year. There were no fatal bicycle collisions within the period.

caused severe injuries, 11 resulted in an “other visible injury,” and 5 resulted in a “complaint of pain.” Figure 3. Annual Bicycle Collisions
Bicycle Collision Trends
Bicycle-related collision locations are shown on Figure 4. Key takeaways from the analysis include the following:
• 11% of collisions resulting in severe injury in Greenfield involved people on bikes. Although bicycle trips make up only a small percentage of trips in Greenfield, bicyclists were disproportionally involved in severe-injury collisions. • Elm Ave was the location with the most bicycle-related collisions, with 33% of collisions taking place on this arterial street. Third Street, Eighth Street, Maple Avenue, and Oak Avenue were tied for second. Each of these corridors had 11% of the total bicycle collisions. • The majority of bicycle collisions (61%) took place at intersections. Twenty-eight percent of collisions took place at intersections on Elm Avenue.
• Youths aged 19 or younger were involved in 67% of bicycle collisions. Youths aged 14 or younger were the top age group for bicycle collisions and were involved in 56% of collisions.
Male cyclists were much more likely to be involved in collisions and made up 78% of crash victims.
• The most common bicycle collision factors, according to the reporting law enforcement officer, were driver’s failure to yield (22%) and riding on the wrong side of the road (11%).

Pedestrian Collision Trends
Pedestrian collision locations are shown in Figure 3. Key takeaways of the analysis include the following:
• 24% of severe injury collisions in Greenfield involved people walking. Although walking trips make up only a small percentage of all trips in Greenfield, pedestrians were disproportionally involved in severe-injury collisions.
• 70% of pedestrian collisions involved youths aged 19 or younger. Sixty-three percent of collisions involved youths under 14, with an even split between male and female pedestrians. • Oak Ave was the location with the most pedestrian collisions, 13%. Walnut Ave and El Camino Real were the second- and third-most common pedestrian collision locations. • The most common type of violation, according to the reporting law enforcement officer, was drivers’ failure to yield to pedestrians at marked or unmarked crosswalks, which accounted for 23% of collisions. The second most common violation was pedestrians’ failure to yield to vehicles when crossing outside of a marked or unmarked crosswalk, which accounted for 17% of collisions. • Drivers were at fault in 50% of pedestrian collisions. Pedestrians were at fault in 13%, and the fault was unknown in the remaining 36%.

also provides opportunities to construct safety improvements. Several projects have been completed recently or are underway to provide new bicycle and pedestrian facilities in Greenfield. 12th Street Sidewalk
New sidewalk and an extension of the bike lane have been constructed as part of new development on the east side of 12th Street between the Magnolia Senior Apartments and Oak Avenue. In addition, sidewalks on the west side of 12th were identified as a top priority in Greenfield’s participatory budgeting process, and the Transportation Agency for Monterey County allocated $250,000 for projects that included sidewalk on the west side of 12th Street between Elm and Oak Avenues (see Chapter 3 for more information on participatory budgeting). Sidewalk on 12th Street is expected to be constructed by summer 2024.
Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements Project
The City of Greenfield recently installed pedestrian-activated flashing beacons at six crosswalks, many of which serve students traveling to school: Oak Avenue at the post office, Apple Avenue at Thorp Avenue and Chardonnay Drive, and El Camino Real at three mid-block crosswalks between Apple and Maple Avenues.
Walnut Avenue Reconstruction
There are several projects to improve bicycle and pedestrian access on Walnut Avenue between El Camino Real and 3rd Street. Walnut is being widened between El Camino Real and Highway 101, and new bicycle route improvements will be installed. A new mid-block crosswalk with high-visibility markings, pedestrian-activated flashing beacons, and pedestrian median islands is planned for Walnut Avenue between Mary Chapa Academy and the Santa Lucia Shopping Center, which is a popular location for parents to park and walk to pick up students. The projects will also fill sidewalk gaps on both sides of Walnut Avenue between Mary Chapa and the highway and build new sidewalk on both sides of the street between the highway and 3rd Street.
Walnut Avenue Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements
Completion of missing sidewalk on the north side of Walnut between El Camino Real and 3rd Street will be constructed in the fall of 2024. This project is funded by SB 1 competitive grant funds and City street funds. Bike route signage, legends, and new striping and refreshed crosswalks will be installed on Walnut between 12th Street and 3rd Street.
Existing Programs
The City of Greenfield offers programs to support youths in repairing or building a bicycle. In addition, a variety of program offerings provide active-transportation education and encouragement to Greenfield residents. Some programs are focused on school-aged youths, but there are also programs offering safety information, encouragement, and events for the general public.
City Programs
Greenfield Science Workshop
The Greenfield Science Workshop offers hands-on science education, after-school programs, and field trips for youth in Greenfield. One option is for students to repair their bikes or scooters or even build one from scratch. Learn more here: https://ci.greenfield.ca.us/191/Greenfield-Science-Workshop.

Public Outreach Public input was the foundation of the Safe Routes to Schools Plan and began in the spring of 2022 in Greenfield. Outreach included presentations at virtual and in-person parent meetings, digital parent surveys, and tabling at community events. Walking audits were held at each school site to review infrastructure conditions and discuss safety issues with school staff. After draft recommendations were developed, the planning team hosted one temporary demonstration project in each city to test them and get feedback from the community. Finally, Steering Committees were developed in each city to lead a participatory budgeting process.
Greenfield is home to many Spanish-speaking residents, and enabling equitable participation was an important part of the outreach. All materials and surveys were developed in English and Spanish, and translation was available during walking audits. Parent presentations were given primarily in Spanish, and steering committee meetings were conducted in Spanish with English translation available.
Walking Audits
Walking audits were held at each of the six schools in Greenfield in spring 2022. Audits were held during school drop-off or pick-up to observe traffic and infrastructure conditions around the school and discuss key safety issues with school staff. School principals, community liaisons, parents, and crossing guards shared information on typical traffic patterns and safety issues for people walking and biking. These meetings were held outside, and COVID-19 protocols were maintained to ensure participants’ safety.
Parent Meetings
At the beginning of the planning process, the team contacted school staff to request time on the agendas of scheduled virtual and in-person parent meetings, such as coffee klatches, site councils, and DRAFT 75
the English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC). During their presentations, team members shared information about the planning process and asked parents and school staff for input on any safety issues with biking and walking around the school. After the draft recommendations were developed, another round of presentations was conducted to get feedback. In total, ten presentations were given at the six Greenfield schools.
Parent and Student Surveys
An initial survey was shared with parents through school communication channels, the project website, and on social media, and received 540 responses. The survey asked about how students typically traveled to school before COVID-19, top concerns about letting students walk or bike to school, and current barriers to traveling to school safely. After the draft recommendation list was developed, recommendations maps in English and Spanish were shared with parents along with a short survey asking for their feedback. Twenty-six responses were received with feedback.
Pilot Projects
After the draft recommendations were developed, the planning team selected one location per city for a temporary pilot project. These projects were designed to test the draft recommendations, see how their designs worked in practice, and get feedback from the community on whether they should be made permanent. See below for more information on the Greenfield pilot project and community survey data.
Steering Committees
Safe Routes to School Steering Committees were formed in each of the four cities. These Committees were made up of community representatives, including students, parents, school staff, advocates, and residents. They met monthly for up to nine months and took active leadership in engaging the community and developing projects.
Each Steering Committee led a participatory budgeting process through which community members decided democratically how to spend part of their public budget. The Transportation Agency for Monterey County allocated $250,000 per city to implement projects from the Safe Routes to Schools Plan, and steering committees developed a process for community members to vote on which projects should be funded.
The Committee developed project proposals based on the recommendations in the Safe Routes to Schools Plan and designed a process for residents to vote on the projects that were most important to them. The projects that received the most votes were recommended for funding, and Steering Committee members presented the results to the Greenfield City Council for approval. Projects funded through participatory budgeting will begin implementation as soon as the Greenfield City Council the TAMC’s board of directors approve the Steering Committee’s recommendations. The city of Greenfield will construct as many recommendations as is feasible given current construction costs. The projects recommended for funding in Greenfield are listed in Chapter 4D.
Many Committee members came from communities that are traditionally underrepresented in the political process, and whose members face obstacles to participating or feel left out. By serving on Safe Routes to Schools Steering Committees, these members gained experience in leadership and participation in local government. Steering Committees also improved connections between the planning team and each community and increased public participation in the planning. Committee DRAFT 76
members were compensated for their time to recognize the value of their work and allow for equitable participation.
12th Street Pilot Project Survey Results
Highlights of the community survey data for the 12th Street pilot project are provided below. The full survey data can be found in the Appendix.
The temporary installation was located on 12th Street between Elm Avenue and Apple Avenue. This section of 12th Street connects nearby residents with Arroyo Seco Academy, Oak Ave Elementary, and Vista Verde Middle School. 12th Street was selected for the pilot project because it connected the three schools, and because it was the street that received the most comments from community members during initial outreach. 12th Street was also identified as a priority by the steering committee.
At the time of the installation, there were no bicycle facilities along this section of 12th Street. The speed limit was 25 mph, but public comments indicated that people frequently drove faster. The pilot project included curb extensions and high-visibility crosswalks at the intersections of Apple Avenue, Oak Avenue and Elm Avenue.
The 12th Street pilot project was in place for one month. The planning team received 146 community survey responses during this time. The following methods were used to promote the project and collect survey responses:
• Distribution of fliers and a survey link to parents, through all Greenfield schools. • Distribution of fliers and a survey link, through city (parks and recreation) outlets. • Door-to-door distribution of fliers with the survey link to neighbors along 12th Street. • Mass mailings to nearly 2,200 households in the neighborhoods around the pilot project. • Social media posts.
• Banners and pre-stamped surveys placed along 12th Street. • Presentation to City Council before the pilot was installed.
Survey Results
• 48% of survey respondents walked on 12th Street during the pilot project, and 47% drove down 12th Street. Five percent of respondents bicycled through the pilot. • 80% of respondents reported having a positive experience with the high-visibility crosswalks, and 70% had a positive experience with the curb extensions. • 35% of respondents said that they walked or biked more because of the temporary installation. • 70% indicated that they would like to see the temporary changes made permanent. • 83% said that they would either definitely or probably use the new facility if it became permanent.

Greenfield Safe Routes to Schools Plan
Chapter 4C. Recommendations
The infrastructure and program recommendations listed in this chapter are the core of the Safe Routes to Schools Plan. They were designed to address the specific challenges at each school site, with the goal of encouraging more active transportation trips to school. This chapter contains information on the current conditions at each school, observations from the walking audit, and the list of infrastructure recommendations. Schools are organized alphabetically. School-specific non-infrastructure recommendations are also listed under each school’s profile. Citywide non-infrastructure recommendations are listed at the end of this chapter.
A guide to the various types of infrastructure treatments mentioned in this chapter starts on page xx.
Safe Routes to Schools Corridors
Safe Routes to Schools corridors are streets that have been identified as key routes to Greenfield schools. These streets may be good candidates for corridor-level improvements to slow traffic speeds, improve intersections and crossings, and create a safe and comfortable environment for students to walk and bike to school.
DRAFT 79
Figure 9. Map of Greenfield Safe Routes to Schools Corridors DRAFT 80
Recommendations Process
The recommendations in this Safe Routes to Schools Plan were developed in response to public input on the barriers to getting to each school site safely. Public comments from parent surveys, parent meetings, and walking audits were reviewed, and where feasible, recommendations were developed to address each issue. This process included the evaluation of current conditions around each school.
After the draft recommendations were developed, recommendation maps in English and Spanish were shared with each school along with a short survey asking for feedback. Each school was also offered another round of bilingual parent presentations to share the draft recommendations and collect feedback from parents and staff. The planning team reviewed this feedback and adjusted the recommendations where feasible.
All recommendations are planning-level and require further analysis before construction. All recommendations for new marked traffic-control devices, including crosswalks, require further analysis and must meet the guidelines of the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices to be installed.
Guide to Bicycle & Pedestrian Infrastructure Recommendations [ • Bicycle Boulevards are streets with low traffic volumes and speeds where full bike lanes are not feasible and cyclists share the road with motor vehicles. Bike boulevards are usually marked by signs and shared- use pavement markings, or “sharrows,”, and include traffic calming measures like diverters, medians, chicanes, or traffic circles.
• Class I shared use paths are paved rights-of-way, completely separated from streets, which support multi-use recreation and transportation opportunities for walkers, bicyclists, skaters, and wheelchair users.
• Class II bike lanes are unprotected on-street bicycle facilities that use striping and stencils to designate spaces for bicycle travel.
• Class IIB buffered bike lanes are separated from vehicle lanes by a striped buffer, which provides greater separation and comfort for cyclists.
• Class III bicycle routes are designated for bicycle travel with signage and shared- use pavement markings, or “sharrows,”, and are shared with motor vehicles. • Curb extensions are additions to the sidewalk at intersections or mid-block crosswalks to shorten pedestrians’ crossing distance and make them more visible to drivers. • Flashing stop signs are stop signs with flashing lights on them to increase visibility. • High-visibility crosswalks are “ladder style” crosswalks that are more visible to drivers than crosswalks consisting of two lines.
• Leading pedestrian intervals allow pedestrians to cross an intersection a few seconds before cars are given a green light, making them more visible to drivers who are making left turns. • Neighborhood traffic circles are small roundabouts installed on neighborhood streets to slow traffic and create a safer and more comfortable environment for people walking and biking. • Pedestrian refuge islands are protected spaces in the center of a crosswalk that reduce crossing distance and pedestrians’ exposure to vehicle traffic.
• Raised medians provide mid-street spaces to install pedestrian safety features, traffic control devices, amenities, and landscaping, and can also provide traffic calming.
DRAFT 81
• Rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) are used at uncontrolled intersections or mid-block crosswalks to alert drivers to people waiting to cross the street. • Roundabouts are circular intersections where drivers travel counterclockwise around a center island. They have been shown to reduce crashes and improve safety for pedestrians. • Traffic calming uses various measures such as speed humps, traffic circles, and chicanes to slow vehicle traffic on residential streets and improve safety and conditions for walkers and cyclists.
These measures must be requested and supported by neighborhood residents to be installed.

Policy and Program Recommendations
The recommendations below are for all school sites and are arranged by implementing agency and type of program. Some recommendations are listed under multiple organizations that could take the lead on implementation.
Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC)
Education
• Support the Street Smarts traffic-safety education campaign, including information on how to use new infrastructure like roundabouts, class IV separated bikeways, and pedestrian hybrid beacons.
• Install traffic gardens at elementary schools and parks to provide space for traffic safety education.
• Promote the TAMC program that allows citizens to report sidewalk and bicycle facility hazards on Greenfield roadways.
Encouragement
• Work with schools to develop SchoolPool carpooling programs, with incentives for participation such as priority parking spaces and drop-off lanes.
• Develop a bar-code scanner program that notifies parents when students arrive at school. • Develop a pilot program to structure school drop-off times and locations by grade level, and align it with education programs.
• Promote the TAMC Safe Routes website (https://saferoutesmonterey.org/) as a community resource for establishing walking school buses, finding safety information, etc. • Continue to provide bike and skateboard racks to schools through the Bicycle Secure program.
Equity
• Design and implement public outreach and engagement that are broadly accessible and provide means for everyone to participate.
• Provide an equitable share of transportation investments to underserved, racially diverse communities to improve their health, safety, and quality of life.
School Districts
Education
• Incorporate traffic safety education into school curriculums. • Partner with TAMC and other Safe Routes to Schools partners to provide bicycle and pedestrian safety education and training at every elementary school.
Encouragement
• Adopt a district-wide policy supporting active transportation projects and programs. • Establish a Safe Routes to Schools contact at the district level to act as point person for education, programs, and events.
• Provide orientation for principals and school staff on Safe Routes to Schools programs and best practices, including traffic management.
• Where a bus stop for one school is near another school, relocate the bus stop or adjust pick-up DRAFT 117
times to reduce congestion.
• Promote events that encourage active transportation, such as Walk and Bike to School Day. • Use the TAMC Bicycle Secure program to provide secure bike, scooter, and skateboard parking at each school site.
• Consider the use of electric school buses.
Engagement
• Reassess crossing guard funding and recruiting structures to allow for at least one crossing guard per school at both morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up times, or develop a volunteer crossing guard program to recruit and motivate volunteers.
City of Greenfield: Police, Parks and Recreation, and Public Works Departments Education
• Train police officers to teach traffic safety, with a focus on driver safety, and accurately report any collisions involving cyclists or pedestrians.
• Incorporate bike/walk safety trainings or helmet giveaways into Parks and Recreation Department messaging, after-school programs, and events.
Encouragement
• Support and promote bike and pedestrian encouragement activities such as Bike Month, Ciclovía, and Walk and Bike to School Day.
• Apply for Bicycle Friendly Community designation through the League of American Bicyclists (could involve city staff and community volunteers).
School Sites
Education
• Distribute a traffic circulation plan and bike and pedestrian safety information to parents at the beginning of the school year through all available channels (email, handouts, parent meetings, back to school nights, etc.).
• Hold school safety assemblies for students at the beginning of the school year to go over safe walking, biking, and drop-off practices.

Greenfield Safe Routes to Schools Plan
Chapter 4D. Implementation, Reporting,
and Maintenance
Implementation and Reporting
The projects in this plan will be implemented over time as funding becomes available. With limited funding, the City of Greenfield must decide how to prioritize the recommendations.
Some projects that are low in cost and have community support can be incorporated into the City’s maintenance programs and completed using maintenance funds. For larger projects, leveraging local funds with additional grant funding will be critical. Some projects also require either private property acquisition or coordination with Caltrans. Although these are high-cost projects that will take many years to fund, design, and construct, they are included here as part of a long-term vision for the future of transportation in Greenfield.
The City of Greenfield has the opportunity to make bicycle and pedestrian improvements as part of ongoing road maintenance. The is required to upgrade curb ramps to Americans with Disabilities Act standards during major road resurfacing projects. Many resurfacing projects also provide chances to restripe roadways and install improvements such as high-visibility crosswalks, class IIB buffered bike lanes, green bike lane treatments, and class IV separated bikeways at a relatively low additional cost.
Traffic signal maintenance and upgrades also provide opportunities to install countdown pedestrian signal heads, leading pedestrian interval signal phasing, and video detection for bicyclists. City staff will review the Safe Routes to Schools Plan project list when planning maintenance projects to look for ways to incorporate bike and pedestrian improvements. This allows for highly cost-effective implementation of the projects included in this plan.
Installing bicycle and pedestrian improvements as part of regularly scheduled maintenance is a “quickbuild’ approach to providing bicycle and pedestrian facilities, meaning local jurisdictions can construct the facilities faster using low-cost materials. Materials such as paint, planters, and plastic posts are less expensive initially than new pavement or changes to curb alignments, but they have more substantial ongoing maintenance costs. Quick-build is best suited to temporary trial projects that can be adjusted on the basis of initial success of the design and community feedback. More information on the quickbuild approach can be found in the Quick-Build Guide developed by the California Bicycle Coalition and Alta Planning + Design.1
Projects from this plan can also be installed as future development occurs in Greenfield. This Safe Routes to Schools Plan provides a list of projects that can mitigate the impact of land-use developments by reducing vehicle miles traveled. In 2013, California lawmakers approved Senate Bill 743, which 1 California Bicycle Coalition website, Quick Build Bikeway Networks: https://www.calbike.org/our_initiatives/quick-build-bikeway-networksfor-safer-streets/.
DRAFT 122
considers vehicle miles traveled as a metric to determine impacts in transportation analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Jurisdictions are no longer required to use traffic congestion or level of service as a metric, though they can still enforce those through consistency with the agency’s General Plan. In addition, the traditional level-of-service metric may still be relevant to CEQA, as it relates to impacts on public services, including emergency response and transit. The state released guidelines in 2018 that recommended the use of vehicle miles traveled as the key metric for analyzing transportation impacts. The Safe Routes to Schools Plan is a resource that the city and developers can use for project ideas to improve biking and walking facilities and reduce vehicle miles traveled.
This chapter includes a list of roadways that are high priorities for improvement, based on criteria that are aligned with the vision and goals of this plan. Individual projects will be prioritized for funding through the Monterey County Regional Transportation Plan and the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Reporting on project funding, design, and construction will occur through updates to the city council and the public during the annual CIP update process.
For projects within Caltrans rights of way, all improvements must be consistent with Highway Access Management Plans, and Caltrans maintenance agreements are required before new construction.
Corridor Prioritization
Key routes to school in Greenfield were ranked to help City decisionmakers and staff prioritize projects and identify the most competitive ones for various grant opportunities. Grant programs often prioritize larger-scale, corridor-wide improvements, and future grant applications are likely to focus on improvements to one or more streets of Greenfield rather than individual projects.
The corridors below were evaluated using four criteria aligned with the vision and goals of this plan and with common grant application criteria. Equity scores are based on two sources: free or reduced price meal data, as an indicator of family income, and the Healthy Places Index map, which shows data on health indicators such as education, job opportunities, and clean air and water. Each corridor was assigned a number from 0 to 100 based on the criteria in Table 7.

Participatory Budgeting Funded Projects
The Greenfield Steering Committee led a participatory budgeting process, a democratic process in which community members decide how to spend part of a public budget. TAMC allocated $250,000 per city to implement projects from the Safe Routes to Schools Plan, and Steering Committees developed a process for community members to vote on which projects should be funded.
The Greenfield election was held in December 2022. People over the age of 14 who lived or worked in Greenfield were eligible to vote, and voting was possible online and at 11 voting sites throughout the DRAFT 125
city. In total, 244 ballots were received, which identified four projects as the highest priorities for community members. Steering Committee members presented the results to the Greenfield City Council for approval in March 2023 and received approval. Projects funded through the participatory budgeting process will begin implementation as soon as 2025. The City of Greenfield will carry out as many recommendations as is feasible given current construction costs.

To address an ongoing shortage in transportation funding, Monterey County voters approved Measure X in 2016, establishing a 3/8-percent sales tax that will provide approximately $20 million annually for local transportation projects over the next thirty years. Sixty percent of the funds are distributed by formula to cities and the County of Monterey for road maintenance, repair, and safety projects. This funding, together with funding in the Pedestrian and Bike Safety and Mobility category, can be used for Safe Routes to Schools projects.

Maintenance
The need for maintenance of bicycle and pedestrian facilities is often reported by residents walking and bicycling on local roadways. There are several ways to report such issues in and around the City of Greenfield:
• Maintenance issues can be reported through the City of Greenfield website. https://ci.greenfield.ca.us/FormCenter/Miscellaneous-8/Maintenance-Service-Request-73. • TAMC maintains the Bicycle Service Request program, a webpage where any issue related to bicycle safety in the county can be reported: https://www.tamcmonterey.org/bike-servicerequest-form. Reports are forwarded to the appropriate jurisdiction for action. • Maintenance issues on state highways can be reported to Caltrans at https://csr.dot.ca.gov/.
The City of Greenfield is responsible for maintaining pavement on roads that it has accepted for maintenance. The City also maintains signage, signals, striping, guardrails, and other traffic-safety devices, walls and other retaining structures, and drainage facilities serving the roadway.
The City of Greenfield currently employs the following maintenance policies and procedures to keep bicycle and pedestrian facilities in good repair:
• Bike lanes that are contiguous with any City-maintained roadway are maintained by the City as part of the roadway. The City strives to sweep bike lanes on a pre-determined schedule through TriCities Disposal and Recycling.
• According to the California Streets and Highways Code Section 5610, adjacent property owners are responsible for the maintenance of sidewalks along the frontage of their properties. • According to the Streets and Highways Code, a set amount of maintenance funding is provided by the gas tax, and the City is charged with maintaining roadways as well as those funds allow.
There is no specific standard to which a roadway must be maintained, but ideally, roads are resealed every five to ten years to keep pavement in good condition. The City works to budget the funding it receives to provide the greatest benefit to the greatest number of road users.

MEMORANDUM: November 5, 2024
AGENDA DATE: November 12, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Paul Wood, City Manager
TITLE: FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 Quarter 1 (July-September 2024)
FINANCIAL REVIEW
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this review is to present to the City Council and the public where the City is, financially, at the end of the first fiscal quarter of FY24-25.
This presentation shows the revenues and expenditures of the General Fund (where the vast majority of expenditures take place. The General Fund is comprised of 4 funds: the General Fund, the Fire Fund, the Community Outreach Fund and the Measures V & W Fund. The main takeaways here are the following:
• Combined, revenues at the midway point are at 14.3% of budgeted revenues (expected is approximately 15%). The reason the expected is so low (intuition might suggest that 25% is expected) is that revenues do not arrive at the city evenly throughout the year. Important points to note are the following:
o We have an Additions column that shows, by fund, additional revenues that have been received after September 30. In some cases, these additions are substantial (cannabis tax revenues).
o In large part, all property taxes it either in December or April of each fiscal year, neither of which time frames are included in this quarterly report. Also, Vehicle in Lieu Fees, which are a significant portion of general fund revenues, are received with property taxes.
o As stated in previous years, sales taxes are received by the city from the State two months in arrears, so our sales tax numbers only reflect one month’s worth of sales tax. In the Additions column, we have added a second month that we have received for the quarter.
City Council Memorandum 599 El Camino Real Greenfield CA 93937 831-674-5591 www.ci.greenfield.ca.us
137
o In general, we are tracking on target with the budget for fiscal year 24 – 25. • Combined, expenditures at the midway point are at 21.3% of budgeted expenditures (expected is 25%)
o I will talk in more detail at the presentation about positive and negative consequences of variances in spending.
BACKGROUND:
Expenditures
While it would be great, from an analytical perspective, to assume that 50% of expenditures would be normal through the first 6 months of the year, the actual expenditures do not occur quite that evenly over the year. Two years ago, the mid-year review reflected that the City was at 38% of expenditures. Being at 38% is not necessarily normal, for Greenfield, the normal might be somewhere around 45-48%. All to say that, I believe, we are approaching normal expenditure levels.
The reasons are many and varied, but they include significant events like the following:
• If capital projects are being funded out of the General Fund, and the expenditures for them do not take place until later in the year,
• Personnel positions that have been approved in the budget not being filled at the beginning of the fiscal year.
In fact, both of these reasons are relevant to the first 3 months of the fiscal year. In the case of personnel, it is very relevant.
Since personnel expenses comprise a significant portion of total General Fund expenditures, when a position is left unfilled for an extended period of time, the expenditure savings can add up quickly. When multiple positions are left unfilled, it adds up significantly.
During the budget process this past spring, as you recall, we had a very difficult time balancing the budget. Because personnel is such a high proportion of overall spending, one of our strategies to get to a balanced budget was to time the hiring of vacant positions so that we could accrue savings that would contribute to the balancing of the budget.
During the first 3 months of the year, Greenfield’s Public Works staff was underfilled, and that is reflected financially in that the Public Works – Administration was at 13% and Streets was at 18%.
Depending on the position, that created “x” amount of salary and benefit savings. That is positive from a financial perspective, but not so much from a community services perspective.
The same could be said for Police Patrol Services in the general fund, which is at 20.8% through three months.
138
City Council and staff work hard during the budget process in the spring to budget for an optimal level of staffing to get “all the work done.” If full staffing does not happen, then either (1) all the work does not get completed, or (2) we have to pay overtime to (a) other employees or (b) outside contractors that are doing the work.
So, it’s a trade-off between savings and serving the public. At best, it is a balancing act that involves both understanding where we are revenue-wise and the community’s flexibility with what they will accept in the way of services provided for the tax dollars paid.
Overall, the main points are the following:
1. Revenues are on track through the first quarter of the year. The report (which is not accrual-based accounting) shows us that we are at 14.3% vs. an assumed 15%. The reality is that if accruals were posted, we would probably be slightly above budget.
2. Expenditures are lower than expected through the first quarter of the year. The report (which is not accrual-based accounting) shows us that we are at 21.3% vs. an assumed 25%.
3. Staff believes that expenditures are lower than budgeted mainly because of the shortage of personnel, lowering expenditures slightly.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jamie Tugel, Public Works Director
TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2024-132, ACCEPTING YR 1 AND YR 2 OF
THE CLOSED-CIRCUIT TELEVISION (CCTV) PROJECT COMPLETED
BY PRO-PIPE, INC.
BACKGROUND:
The Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) 4- year Capital Improvement Project was awarded to Pro-Pipe, Inc. on May 9, 2023. This project is a phased project to take place over 4 fiscal years (FY 22/23 – FY 25/26).
The City of Greenfield (City) owns and operates a sanitary sewer collection system that conveys raw wastewater to the City’s WWTP and consists of approximately 31 miles of gravity pipelines ranging from 6-inches to 24-inches in diameter. The State Water Resources Control Board (State Board) and Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) regulate spills/discharges from sanitary sewer collection systems State-wide under Waste Discharge Requirements, General Order for Sanitary Sewer Systems, Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ (recently updated from original Order 2006-0003-DWQ). This General Order mandates that agencies with one mile or more of sewer collection system prepare what is commonly known as a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). The City has complied with this Order, and as part of the City’s responsibility to adequately operate and maintain the City’s sewer collection system (and to minimize/prevent sewage spills), the sewer collection system must be periodically inspected to check for potential high-risk areas for potential spills. Blockages in the gravity sewer system can be caused by buildup of debris and grease, tree root intrusion, damaged sewer pipe, and other conditions. The most common way of detecting problem areas in the sewer collection system is to inspect the sewer system by CCTV.
In 2020, the City was subject to a lawsuit filed by California River Watch, an environmental interest group, Internal Revenue Code § 501(c)(3) non-profit, public benefit corporation organized under the laws of the State of California, with headquarters located in Sebastopol, California. River Watch issued the City a Notice of Violation and Intent to File Suit under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (“Clean Water Act” or “CWA”), 33 U.S.C. § 1365, (“CWA Notice Letter”). To avoid the high cost of litigation, both City Council Memorandum

www.ci.greenfield.ca.us
147
parties chose to resolve in full River Watch’s allegations in the CWA Notice Letter through a settlement agreement. In accordance with Article 2.A of the Agreement, the City agreed to conduct a Condition Assessment of the Collection System (excepting those gravity sewer lines that, at the time the Condition Assessment work is being undertaken in a given area, or have been rehabilitated, repaired, replaced, or constructed within the last ten (10) years). This assessment of the City’s sewer collection system is to be completed within 7 years of the date of this Agreement. This Agreement is dated February 2, 2021, which means the CCTV work is to be completed by February 2, 2028.
ANALYSIS
The total project budget is estimated at $858,700, which spans four fiscal years. The first year of CCTV work focused on the City’s most vulnerable sewer mains. Once the City receives the condition assessment results each year, staff will immediately evaluate and determine the course of action to be taken, following Article 2.B. of the Agreement. Article 2.B. of the Agreement guides the City on how to plan for repair and replacement of sewer mains depending upon the following condition ratings:
5 – Most significant defect
4 – Significant defect
3 – Moderate defect
2 – Minor to moderate defect
1 – Minor defect
For sewer mains that receive a rating of 5, the City shall within one (1) year of discovery, either repair, replace, or take other appropriate action with regard to that line to either divert sewage flow from the significantly defective sewer line, or abandon the same in lieu of repair or replacement, or provide Riverwatch with a schedule for repair or replacement if multiple lines need replacing. The magnitude and costs of these potential repairs or replacement is unknown at this time. Said replacements or repairs will be through a separate Capital Improvement Project that will be developed at that time.
The sewer mains cleaned and videoed in YR1 and YR2 did not have any ratings of 5 (Most Significant Defect). There were approximately 18 sewer line segments that the contractor was unable to clean and/or video due to high flows. These segments have been moved to YR3/YR4 work, which will commence in May or June 2024.
BUDGET AND FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The YR1 and YR2 project came in 21% under budget. Cost savings were attributed to the following:
1. Limiting the contract change orders, moving inaccessible segments to future years, and not utilizing all of the contingency funds.
2. A breakdown of the complete construction cost is as follows:
Services Estimated Total
Project Costs
Final Project Costs
Construction Contract YR 1 $219,050.00 $156,045.00
Project Management YR 1 $5,000.00 $4,244.52
Construction Contract YR 2 $194,000.00 $168,785.00

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
This project is the 3rd year of a three-year program to maintain pavement in the City of Greenfield (see attached Exhibit A).
Pavement repair in this project is similar to Year 1 and 2 Project utilizing a mix of strategies including grind & repair, rubberized chip seal, slurry seal, rejuvenation fog seal, and restriping.
The project was publicly noticed and an Invitation to Bid was issued in June 2024. One bid was received on July 18, 2024 by VSS International in the amount of $1,390,120, which exceeded the available project budget.
On September 10, 2024, Staff was directed by Council to reject the one bid and modify to break the work into a smaller “base bid” scope of work and placing other areas under “additive alternate” bid schedules. Attached Exhibit A shows the Base bid area and alternative additive areas included in the re-bid.

MEMORANDUM: November 5, 2024
AGENDA DATE: November 12, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jamie Tugel, Public Works Director
TITLE: A RESOLUTION TO RATIFY THE EMERGENCY SUSPENSION
OF NORMAL BIDDING OR PURCHASING REQUIREMENTS
RELATED TO CONSTRUCTION OF TEMPORARY,
EMERGENCY WASTEWATER DISPOSAL SPRAYFIELDS
BACKGROUND:
During an August 2024 inspection by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Board) of the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), the Board staff noted specific, continuing, violations of the General Permit pond system specifications (freeboard, markings, and Spill Prevention and Emergency Response Plan). The Board and City staff/representatives began discussions of alternative spray disposal areas, including the City property to the East of the WWTP Pond Disposal fields.
Following the onsite discussions with the Board, further discussions ensued on the procedure in which would be required to obtain Board approval of alternative spray disposal fields on the East side of the WWTP Pond Disposal fields. This area in discussion was in the City’s original plan to add spray fields on, had commenced CEQA on the area, and the early 2023 winter storms hit California. Following these storms, in which the Salinas River rose to the existing WWTP Pond Disposal Fields eastern levee, the Board stated that they would not support spray fields in this area and that the City would need to find another location for the spray fields. Staff then focused CEQA efforts on a portion of the adjacent Sod Farm for potential future use.
City Staff prepared conceptual exhibits of the proposed temporary, emergency spray disposal fields, which were modeled after the original spray disposal field conceptual plans developed in 2022, but within a smaller area. Staff submitted an application for Addendum to Waste Discharge on September 26, 2024.

On October 4, 2024, the City received a revised Notice of Applicability that included the addition of temporary, emergency disposal sprayfields, and the requirements associated with the operation of the sprayfields, and immediately contacted a Class A contractor and set up a site meeting to go over the specifics of the emergency project.
DISCUSSION:
Staff met with the City Manager and provided a briefing of the situation and recommended that immediate repairs and added mitigation commence immediately and to order suspension of normal bidding or purchasing requirements in the City’s purchasing policy as the situation had become an emergency. The City Manager agreed and ordered the suspension of normal bidding or purchasing requirements in the City’s purchasing policy for this specific emergency.
Staff contacted a local engineering contractor to meet onsite and discuss the emergency construction project. The contractor is able to start immediately once approval from the City Manager was obtained.
BUDGET AND FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The project is being done via Time & Material (T&M), and a rough estimate of $350,000 has been provided. There is currently an approved CIP budget for emergency work at the WWTP of $300,000, which will be used for this project. With the final cost unknown, staff will bring back a more refined estimate to the City Council for additional appropriation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council ratify the City Manager’s order to suspend normal bidding or purchasing requirements related to construction of temporary, emergency wastewater disposal spray fields.

TITLE: A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH FLUID
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (FRM) TO BE THE CONTRACT INTERIM
CHIEF PLANT OPERATOR (CPO) OF THE WASTEWATER PLANT,
INTERIM OPERATOR OF RECORD FOR THE PUBLIC WATER
SYSTEM, AND CONSULTING SERVICES FOR THE CITY OF
GREENFIELD FOR A PERIOD OF ONE (1) YEAR
BACKGROUND
In 2022, the City of Greenfield entered into two separate agreements with Fluid Resource Management (FRM) for wastewater plant management services and management of the City’s public water system. The intent was to improve plant efficiency, efficacy, and to train staff better. City Council approved multiple contract extensions for both contracts since 2022, and is currently out of contract with FRM for these services.
The City was without a Utilities Division Manager from early August 2022 thru mid-May 2024, just shy of two years. FRM was contracted in August 2022 as the City’s Certified Plant Operator (CPO) for the WWTP as well as the interim certified operator of record for the City’s Public Water System. The City on-boarded a new Utilities Division Manager in May 2024. This individual has been and continues to train on the City’s utility systems operations and maintenance as well as his management skills. He is on track to obtain the required wastewater treatment operator certification by May 2025.
FRMs duties include reviewing previous operations reading, meeting with staff to discuss the reporting portal, previous control lab tests and adjust the operation of the facility if/when necessary to ensure continued efficient operation. FRM’s compliance department will prepare the required reports for the wastewater and water systems and once approved, submit them to the appropriate regulatory agency.
BUDGET
The funding for FY 24/25 will be from the existing Wastewater division budget and Water Distribution budget and is invoiced as time and material.
The funding for FY 25/26 will be captured through the budgeting process.

In 1996 the California state legislation (AB 3229) created the Citizens Options for Public Safety (COPS) program to fund the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF), and the state also created the Enhancing Law Enforcement Activities Growth Special Account for Front-Line Law Enforcement.
On October 30, 2024, the Greenfield Police Department received $94,663.46, from fiscal year 2023/2024. As stated in California Government Code Section 30061(c)2, “In the case of a city, the city council shall appropriate existing and anticipated moneys exclusively to fund frontline municipal police services, in accordance with written requests submitted by the chief of police of that city or the chief administrator of the law enforcement agency that provides services for that city.”
In addition, the funds cannot be used to supplant resources, but instead, must be used to supplement and benefit frontline law enforcement efforts, and these funds are not to be intermingled with General Fund dollars.
Staff is requesting the funds to purchase a drone, additional equipment for police vehicles, training, and improvement projects that directly benefit frontline law enforcement efforts.
The funds will be accepted and deposited into SLESF Revenue Account 200-43622.00, and transferred into the following account: 200-205-65100 Police Services. 168

MEMORANDUM: November 5, 2024
AGENDA DATE: November 12, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Paul Wood, City Manager
TITLE: DISCUSSION RELATED TO PROPOSAL TO PERFORM
ADA INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS IN PARKS
AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES
BACKGROUND:
ADA Compliance for Recreational Facilities and Parks
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a piece of legislation that aims to eliminate discrimination against individuals with disabilities and ensure equal opportunities for them in all areas of public life. Since its enactment in 1990, the ADA has set forth comprehensive guidelines for businesses, public entities, and private sectors to follow to accommodate the needs of people with disabilities. When it comes to recreational facilities and parks, ADA compliance is especially vital as it ensures that everyone, regardless of their physical abilities, can enjoy natural and recreational resources.
Introduction to ADA Compliance
ADA compliance is a legal requirement to create a more inclusive society. Recreational facilities and parks provide essential recreational, social, and health benefits for individuals and communities. Ensuring these spaces are accessible to everyone mandates the removal of physical barriers and implementation of specific design features that accommodate individuals with disabilities. ADA-compliant amenities include accessible paths, restrooms, parking, playgrounds, and more.
Understanding the fundamentals of ADA compliance requires familiarity with the ADA Standards for Accessible Design. These standards establish the minimum requirements for newly designed and newly constructed or altered public facilities. Recreational managers, city planners, City Council Memorandum 599 El Camino Real Greenfield CA 93937 831-674-5591 www.ci.greenfield.ca.us
199
architects, and other stakeholders must ensure that their facilities meet these standards to promote equality and prevent discrimination.
Key Standards and Requirements
One of the key standards set by the ADA for recreational facilities includes the need for accessible routes and entrances. These routes provide access to different areas of the park and should be designed to accommodate wheelchairs, scooters, and other mobility devices. Curb ramps, pedestrian crossings, and pathways must meet certain slope, width, and surface texture requirements to ensure ease of movement. Furthermore, entrances to buildings and key areas such as pavilions and restrooms within the park should be equipped with automatic doors or be wide enough for wheelchair access.
Another critical component of ADA compliance is accessible parking. Designated parking spots for individuals with disabilities must be conveniently located near entrance routes and be sufficiently wide to accommodate wheelchair users. These spots should be marked with appropriate signage to indicate availability for disabled visitors.
Seating areas, whether in pavilions, picnic areas, or stadiums, also must adhere to ADA standards. This includes ensuring that a certain percentage of seats in any given area are accessible, providing clear sightlines for wheelchair users and distributing accessible seating areas evenly throughout the facility for inclusivity.
Playgrounds and Recreational Spaces
Playgrounds are fundamental recreational spaces for children and emphasizing their accessibility is crucial. ADA-compliant playgrounds feature equipment that is usable by children with various disabilities, including those with mobility impairments, sensory disorders, or developmental disabilities. Ground-level play components like swings, slides, and sandboxes must be accessible and designed for easy use.
Moreover, playground surfaces should be firm, stable, and made of materials that allow for wheelchair movement. Rubberized surfaces or engineered wood fibers are common choices that meet ADA standards. Additionally, ramps and transfer platforms can offer access to elevated play structures, ensuring that children with disabilities can engage in the same play activities as their peers.
Other recreational spaces in parks, such as sports fields, pools, and trails, should also be accessible. Sports fields may need appropriately designed bleachers, while pools should have lifts or sloped entries for those with mobility impairments. Trails should have smooth and stable surfaces, with signage to indicate accessibility features and challenges.
Restrooms and Facilities
200
Accessible restrooms are a paramount aspect of ADA compliance in recreational facilities. These restrooms should have enough space to accommodate a wheelchair user and provide features such as grab bars, low-mounted sinks, and hand dryers that are easy to reach. Unisex or family restrooms can provide additional privacy and support for visitors with caregivers.
Other facilities like drinking fountains, picnic areas, and information centers should also follow ADA guidelines. Drinking fountains must have spouts at a height that wheelchair users can access easily and be operable with one hand. Picnic tables should have spaces for individuals using wheelchairs to sit comfortably and participate in activities.
Ensuring accessibility in all facilities helps create an inclusive environment where visitors with disabilities feel welcomed and can enjoy the amenities the park has to offer.
Staff Training and Awareness
A critical component of ADA compliance is ensuring that staff and volunteers are aware of accessibility needs and trained to assist visitors with disabilities. Staff members should be knowledgeable about the accessible features of the facility and be prepared to offer assistance when needed. Regular training sessions can help familiarize staff with disability etiquette and best practices in providing respectful and effective service.
Additionally, staff should be trained to handle emergency situations, ensuring that individuals with disabilities can safely and swiftly evacuate or receive aid during unforeseen events.
Emergency preparedness plans should include specific procedures for accommodating and evacuating individuals with disabilities from the facility or park.
Creating a welcoming atmosphere goes beyond physical modifications and relies heavily on the behavior and attitudes of the facility’s personnel. Through comprehensive training and a commitment to inclusivity, facilities can enhance the experiences of all visitors and foster a supportive and accommodating environment.
Challenges and Solutions
Implementing ADA compliance in recreational facilities and parks can come with its set of challenges. Budget constraints often pose a significant hurdle in retrofitting existing structures to meet accessibility standards. However, grants and funding opportunities are available to support such important initiatives.
Maintaining compliance is an ongoing process that involves regular assessments and updates to facilities. Changes in ADA guidelines may necessitate new modifications, and it’s essential to stay informed and proactive about implementing these changes. Conducting accessibility audits can help identify areas needing improvement and ensure that facilities remain compliant with current standards.
201
It’s essential to engage with the community and receive feedback from individuals with disabilities. Their input can provide valuable insight into how facilities can be improved and serve as a reminder of the importance of maintaining compliance. By continuously striving to meet and exceed ADA standards, we can ensure that recreational facilities and parks remain welcoming spaces for everyone.
Some city governments may believe that their existing programs and facilities are protected by a “grandfather” clause from having to comply with the requirements of Title II of the ADA. This is not correct.
Because of this, they fail to take steps to provide program access or to make modifications to policies, practices, and procedures that are required by law. People with disabilities are unable to gain access to city facilities, programs, services, or activities because of a public entity’s reliance on these common misconceptions.
Having said all this, the law is flexible. City governments must comply with Title II of the ADA and must provide program access for people with disabilities to the whole range of city services and programs, including parks. In providing program access city governments are not required to take any action that would result in a fundamental alteration to the nature of the service, program, or activity in question or that would result in undue financial and administrative burdens. This determination can only be made by the head of the public entity or a designee and must be accompanied by a written statement of the reasons for reaching that conclusion. The determination that undue burden would result must be based on all resources available for use in a program. If an action would result in such an alteration or such burdens, a city government must take any other action that it can to ensure that people with disabilities receive the benefits and services of the program or activity. 28 C.F.R. § 35.150(a)(3).
COUNCIL ACTION
Provide direction to staff about if and how to move forward related to the following:
1. Would the Council like staff to pursue updating of any kind related to ADA implementation in city parks?
2. How much is the Council willing to invest in updating? Or how long of a time allotted to get project complete?
3. How to proceed from here?
a. Obtain outside consultant assessment of needs to maintain compliance with ADA, b. Talk with local members of disabled community to find out their wants/needs c. other
