POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CONDUCT AND DECORUM AT COUNCIL MEETINGS (Pursuant to Resolution No. 07-44, adopted 04-16-07, revised 02-18-2020) The City Council and staff welcomes and encourages civic participation and debate on issues. The Council values the public’s opinion and in every Council meeting invite and encourages the public to address the Council on any matter of interest. The Council adopted these policies and procedures for appropriate conduct and decorum at Council meetings and establish guidance for public participation during Council meetings.

These policies will foster and provide greater clarity to preserve the intent of open government and maintain a positive environment for public input and City Council decision-making.

1.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – IN GENERAL

1.1 The presiding officer is responsible for the maintenance of order and decorum at all times.

1.2 The presiding officer shall determine all points of order subject to the right of any Council member to appeal to the City Council by majority vote. If any appeal is taken, the question shall be “Shall the decision of the presiding officer be sustained” in which event a majority vote of the Council shall govern and conclusively determine such question of order.

1.3 All Council members, staff members and members of the public should speak respectfully and avoid the use of profanity, vulgarity and slanderous comments. Recognizing that the First Amendment precludes the City Council from prohibiting speakers from speaking based upon the content of their speech, the presiding officer shall use their best efforts, short of enforcement action, to remind and encourage all participating in the meeting to keep their speech respectful towards others and within bounds appropriate for children and persons of sensitivity toward course language as a courtesy to others present or otherwise viewing Council meetings.

2.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – COUNCIL MEMBERS

2.1 Manner of Speaking.

Any Council member desiring to speak shall first address the presiding officer. Upon recognition by the presiding officer, the Council member shall speak only to the question under debate.

U2.1(a) Questioning Staff.

A Council member desiring to question the staff should address his question to the City Manager, or, in appropriate cases, the City Clerk or City Attorney, who shall be entitled either to answer the inquiry or to designate some staff member for that purpose. Such a designation may be made at the time of any staff presentation or on the agenda listing for the item.

U2.1(b) Interruptions.

Once recognized, a Council member shall not be interrupted while speaking unless called to order by the presiding officer; unless a point of order is raised by another Council member, or unless the speaker chooses to yield to questions from another Council member.

3.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – STAFF

3.1 City Manager Responsibilities
The City Manager is responsible for ensuring that members of the administrative staff observe the rules of decorum and order set forth in this Policy.

3.2 AAddressing the City Council
Any administrative staff member desiring to address the City Council or members of the public shall first be recognized by the presiding officer. All remarks shall be addressed to the presiding officer and not to any individual Council Member or member of the public. Administrative staff members shall accord the utmost courtesy to the City Council, other administrative staff members and the public.

4.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC

4.1 AAddressing the City Council
Any member of the public desiring to address the City Council or members of the public shall first be recognized by the presiding officer at the appropriate place on the agenda. All remarks shall be addressed to the presiding officer and not to any individual Council Member, City Manager, City Attorney or member of the administrative staff or member of the public.

4.2 Time Limitation for Addressing the City Council
Public comment when addressing the City Council shall be generally limited to three (3) minutes per speaker. Depending on the extent of the agenda and the number of persons desiring to speak on an issue, the presiding officer may, at the beginning of the hearing, set a different time limit for each speaker. Any person may speak for a longer period of time upon approval from the presiding officer, when deemed necessary, for instance when a person is speaking on behalf of a group or has a graphic or slide presentation requiring more time.

4.3 Failure to Yield, Disruptions
Any person who refuses to relinquish the floor after their allotted time or while attending the City Council meeting engages in conduct or speech which disrupts the business of the meeting shall be brought to order and/or removed from the room if the sergeant-at-arms is so directed by the presiding officer.

Disruptive remarks from the audience, stamping of feet, clapping, whistles, yells and similar demonstrations shall not be permitted by the presiding officer who may direct the sergeant-at-arms to remove such offenders from the room.

4.4 Prosecution
Aggravated cases shall be prosecuted on appropriate complaint signed by the presiding officer.

5.0 ENFORCEMENT OF DECORUM

5.1 The Chief of Police or his designee shall be the ex-officio sergeant-at-arms of the City Council. The sergeant-at-arms shall carry out all legal and valid orders and instructions given by the presiding officer for the purpose of maintaining order and decorum in the Council Chamber. Upon instructions from the presiding officer, it shall be the duty of the sergeant-at-arms to remove any disorderly person from the Council Chambers or place the disorderly person under arrest or both.

5.2 As set forth in Government Code Section 54957.9, in the event that any meeting is willfully interrupted by a person or group of persons so as to render the orderly conduct of such meeting unfeasible or impedes the ability of the Council to hold the meeting, and order cannot be restored by the removal of individuals who are willfully interrupting the meeting, the presiding officer may order the meeting room cleared and continue in session. Only matters appearing on the agenda may be considered in such a session. Duly accredited representatives of the press or other news media, except those participating in the disturbance, shall be allowed to attend any session held pursuant to this Section. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the City Council from establishing a procedure for readmitting an individual or individuals not responsible for willfully disturbing the orderly conduct of the meeting.

SUBJECT: San Luis Obispo County Regional Special Weapons and Tactics Team Memorandum of Understanding

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution authorizing the Chief of Police to sign an updated Memorandum of Understanding for the City’s participation in the San Luis Obispo County Regional Special Weapons and Tactics Team (Regional SWAT Team).

BACKGROUND
Since 2008, the Cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Morro Bay, Paso Robles, Pismo Beach, and San Luis Obispo along with California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo and California State Parks have operated a Regional SWAT Team under a previously signed agreement. The SWAT Team utilizes special tactics and equipment to manage and resolve critical incidents involving armed or barricaded suspects, hostages, and high-risk warrant services or incidents that are high risk and so hazardous, complex, or unusual they may exceed the capabilities of first responders or investigative units in their respective jurisdictions.

In January 2024, the Regional SWAT Team Governing Board, which is made up of the head law enforcement officer of the respective participating agencies reviewed the previous agreement and prepared a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with updated information. The MOU updates included additional language in the categories under Purpose, Term, Participating Agency Responsibilities, Agency Budgeting, and Indemnification.

The Purpose section now defines the responsibilities of the Regional SWAT Team. The Term section has been changed to a multi-year MOU instead of an annual agreement. The Participating Agency Responsibilities section outlines the requirements of the involved agencies. The Agency Budgeting section establishes the participating agencies budget requirements. The Indemnification section was updated to modern language, terminology and liabilities for the participating agencies.

The MOU has been reviewed by each agency’s legal counsel as to form. The term of the MOU will be until June 30, 2029; however, the MOU allows the participating agencies to automatically renew the MOU for three successive five-year increments as long as there are no substantive changes needed.

This MOU shall allow for the combination of personnel onto the Regional SWAT Team to ensure delivery of these key services at the highest level possible for the Participating Agencies.

The Participating Agencies recognize that response to critical incidents can be enhanced and efficiency increased by combining police personnel with such specialized training and expertise into a Regional SWAT Team that is available for response to any of the Participating Agencies and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

V. TERM, RENEWAL, AND TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT
a. The term of the MOU will be from ___ June, 2024 to June 30, 2029. b.

e. If the Governing Board determines that a Participating Agency is not in compliance with this MOU or the policies and procedures established for the Regional SWAT Team, the Governing Board, by majority vote of all Participating Agency Police Chiefs, may remove the Participating Agency from the Regional SWAT Team and from the obligation of this MOU.

VI. GOVERNANCE
A Regional SWAT Team Governing Board comprised of the Chiefs of the Participating Agencies, shall provide oversight of the Regional SWAT Team, including but not limited to, adoption and modification of policies and operating procedures, selection of command staff, compliance with this MOU and fiscal management. The Governing Board will meet monthly or as needed. The presence of five (5) Governing Board members, or their designee, constitutes a quorum.

A presiding officer, known as the Chair, shall, at all times, be a Police Chief from a Municipal agency within San Luis Obispo County. The Chair shall have at least one year of experience as a Police Chief in San Luis Obispo County and must have previously served as a Vice Chair prior to ascending to the Chair position.

The subsequent presiding officer, known as the Vice Chair, shall take office in January of each year. The Vice Chair will act as the Chair in the absence of the Chair for any meetings. The Vice Chair shall be appointed to their role based on a geographical accession plan beginning with the South County agencies and ascending to the North

County agencies. The Vice Chair will ascend to the Chair position after the term of the presiding officer has concluded, or in the instance of the presiding officer vacating the Chair. The Vice Chair will complete the term of the vacating Chair and then start their annual term the following January.

Each member of the Governing Board shall have an equal vote and voice on all Board decisions. All Governing Board decisions shall be made by a majority vote of the Governing Board members, or their designees, appearing at the meeting in which the decision is made. A majority of Governing Board members, or their designees, must be present at each meeting for any actions taken to be valid.

VII. NOTICES
Notices and communications between the Participating Agencies shall be sufficiently given if sent by first-class mail, e-mail, personal delivery, or facsimile transmission, to the Chief of Police of the Participating Agencies. The Chair shall provide no less than fortyeight (48) hours’ notice of all meetings to all members of the Governing Board; provided, however, that in emergency situations, the Chair may conduct a telephonic meeting or a poll of individual Governing Board members to resolve any issues related to such emergency.

VIII. SWAT TEAM COMMAND STRUCTURE
a. Personnel and Selection. The Regional SWAT Team shall consist of employees from the Participating Agencies assigned as tactical officers, tactical supervisors and commanders, crisis negotiators, and support personnel. The Regional SWAT Team configuration may be comprised of as many sub-teams or reserve teams as needed for a particular incident. The appointment of the Regional SWAT Commander and Tactical Commander(s) will be made by the Governing Board.
b. Incident Commander. The Participating Agency where an incident occurs shall be in overall command and control of the incident and shall designate an Incident Commander from their command level.
c. SWAT Commander. The Regional SWAT Commander will serve as part of the Incident Command staff in all jurisdictions and will directly oversee the Regional SWAT Team tactical command and the operational control of the Regional SWAT Team. The Regional SWAT Commander and the Tactical Commander are responsible for the actual deployment of the SWAT Team, tactical decision making and tactical resolution of the incident, with approval of the Incident Commander.
d. Command and Control of Staff. While engaging in any Regional SWAT Team activity, it is understood that the collaborative effort of the Regional SWAT Team entails respect for the established chain of command within the team. However, it is imperative to maintain the integrity of personnel within the respective city jurisdiction where the SWAT activity is happening. Therefore, jurisdictional control over personnel, outside of the

Regional SWAT Team, including peace officers, civilian employees, community service officers, or volunteers, shall remain under the authority of the City Incident Commander or their designated representative and in Unified Command with the Regional SWAT Team. This ensures seamless coordination between the SWAT team and the Incident Commander, facilitating efficient operations.

IX. REQUESTS FOR SWAT TEAM ACTIVATION
To request Regional SWAT Team activation, the Participating Agency command staff shall contact the San Luis Obispo Police Department Dispatch Center and request to speak to the Regional SWAT Team Commander. Should the SWAT Team Commander be unavailable, the request will then be made to the Tactical Commander, or if unavailable, finally to the Assistant Tactical Commander(s). When it is agreed that activation will occur, the San Luis Obispo Police Department Dispatch Center will begin the call-out procedures starting with the Regional SWAT Team leadership. If contact cannot be made with the Regional SWAT Team Commander, Tactical Commander, or Assistant Tactical Commander(s) then there will be no call-out of the Regional SWAT Team.

X. PARTICIPATING AGENCY RESPONSIBILITIES
a. Participating Agency Staffing. The Participating Agencies will assign and maintain personnel for the Regional SWAT Team sufficient to provide appropriate joint coverage for critical incidents in any of the Participating Agencies’ jurisdictions, but no fewer than one sworn peace officer, assigned and trained as a SWAT Team Operator. Each Participating Agency will respond to requests for Regional SWAT Team services in all participating jurisdictions as promptly and fully as practical, based on established response criteria and so long as the Participating Agency is in good standing. Good standing means the Participating Agency has met their financial and personnel obligations to the Regional SWAT Team and that participating team members have attended mandatory training and are properly equipped. Participating Agencies not in good standing may petition the Governing Board for a majority vote for consideration of a temporary financial offset to maintain SWAT services in the amount of $12,000 annually or $1000 monthly (prorated) until the Participating Agency is able to meet the minimum personnel contribution. The Chiefs of each Participating Agency may accept or decline the services of the Regional SWAT Team or may withdraw their employees from any Regional SWAT Team response for any legitimate reason. i. Public Information and Media Requests. Any release of public information in response to a public information request will be made in compliance with the California Public Records Act (CPRA). Each agency will be responsible for responding or coordinating a response to CPRA requests they receive. Information in possession of one agency may not necessarily be in the possession of the other agency, making it necessary for each to be responsible for requests received by said agency. The law

enforcement agency having primary jurisdiction over the location to which the Regional SWAT Team responds during any specific critical incident or other event will be responsible for overall media relations for the duration of that event, including providing a Public Information Officer / Spokesperson at the scene of the incident if necessary; although that agency may request assistance of personnel from another Participating Agency for the purpose of media relations if needed.
ii. Detective and Investigative Support. The agency of primary jurisdiction in which the SWAT incident is occurring, will provide at least one (1) sworn peace officer assigned to Criminal Investigations or comparable position with like responsibilities to serve as an investigative resource in procuring search and/or arrest warrants, evaluating criminal charges, and when necessary, liaising with command and/or and the District Attorney’s Office on criminal charges.
iii. Personnel Qualifications. The Governing Board shall establish uniform minimum qualifications and appropriate selection processes for Regional SWAT Team members, including the SWAT Commander and Tactical Commander positions. Each Participating Agency may establish additional minimum qualifications for their personnel to be considered for the Regional SWAT Team.
b. Policies, Procedures, Guidelines and Regulations. The Participating Agencies agree that their employees will adhere to the policies, procedures, guidelines, and regulations of the Regional SWAT Team. Personnel assigned to the Regional SWAT Team shall be deemed to be continuing under the employment of their respective agency and shall have the same powers, duties, privileges, responsibilities, and immunities as are conferred upon them as Peace Officers and Support Staff employees in their own jurisdiction. Actions taken by individual personnel from the Participating Agencies shall be subject to the policies and procedures of their respective agency, to include the appropriate Use of Force policies. In the event any personnel from a Participating Agency should be ordered by the agency of jurisdiction's incident commander or SWAT command personnel to engage in an action, or refrain from engaging in an action, that the Participating Agency's personnel believes would result in violation of their agency's policies and procedures, this fact shall immediately be brought to the attention of the incident commander or the SWAT command personnel unless such notification risks immediate loss of life or damage to property. Should the incident commander or the SWAT command personnel order the Participating Agency personnel to engage in such action, or to refrain from engaging in an action, notwithstanding such notification, the agency of jurisdiction shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify the Participating Agency and its officials, employees and agents against any and all claims arising out of such action or failure to act..
c. AB 481 Reporting. In compliance with AB 481, codified in Government Code sections 7070 through 7075, all Participating Agencies shall list the Regional SWAT Team’s

potential use of “military equipment” in their jurisdiction during their annual reporting to their respective governing body. Each Participating Agency should also report the use and replacement of the military equipment used by their respective members. d. Administrative Investigations. Any administrative investigation of a Regional SWAT Team member shall be conducted by the Participating Agency employing the Regional SWAT Team member. Any administrative action resulting from such an investigation shall be at the discretion of the Regional SWAT Team member’s employing agency.

Investigatory findings which may impact the fitness for duty of a Regional SWAT Team member will be promptly reported to the Governing Board consistent with the Peace Officer’s Procedural Bill of Rights and Penal Code 832.7. The Participating Agency shall always retain the discretion to remove the member from the Regional SWAT Team.

XI. BUDGET, EQUIPMENT, AND TRAINING
a. Participating Agency Budget. Each Participating Agency shall financially contribute annually for consumable Regional SWAT Team supplies, training and equipment used during a Regional SWAT Team training or deployments.
i. The Governing Board may appoint the finance department of a municipal Participating Agency (City) to manage the finances of the Regional SWAT Team.

Before appointing the finance department of a particular City, the Governing Board shall consult with the finance department and obtain its approval. The duty of managing the finances for the Regional SWAT Team may be rotated to other municipal Participating Agencies at the discretion of the Governing Board. A budget report should be made available at the request of the Governing Board for annual review. It is recommended that each Participating Agency maintain an independent budget tracking system to track funds expended by its participating Regional SWAT Team members.
ii. As required by this agreement, the Participating Agencies acknowledge and agree that funding under this MOU will be made from funds available to the Participating Agencies. Funding for the participation in, and expenditures paid or incurred for the execution of, this MOU have been made, or will be made in successive years, as provided, and approved through the respective annual budgets approved by the Participating Agencies governing bodies or at the Agency Head’s discretion, as applicable to each respective Participating Agency’s own policies and procedures. iii. Each Participating Agency shall deposit an annual contribution of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) to the Regional SWAT Team account, no later than September 1st of each year of the MOU. The City whose finance department has agreed to act as the financial manager for the Regional SWAT Team and appointed to this role by the Governing Board shall receive an annual administrative fee as set by the Governing Board and agreed upon by the financial manager City. When applicable, the financial manager City will collect the administrative fee as of September 1st of each year or after the last city has paid

their annual contribution, whichever occurs later. Invoicing will occur no later than August 1st of each year of the MOU, with net 30 days to deposit funds. Financial reporting and expenditures against the Regional SWAT Team account will be in accordance with policies established by the Regional SWAT Team Governing Board.
.
b. Personnel Costs. Participating Agencies will be responsible for all personnel costs and obligations associated with the staff members they assign to the Regional SWAT Team, including costs associated with salary and benefits, overtime, training, and workers’ compensation. Each Participating Agency will be responsible for their respective personnel costs during each Regional SWAT Team activation, scheduled training, briefings and team meetings.
c. Equipment. Each Participating Agency will be responsible for the costs of all necessary individual tactical equipment and weapon(s) issued to the Regional SWAT Team members from that Participating Agency for use during Regional SWAT training and deployment.
d. Joint Capital Expenditures. The Governing Board must approve all joint capital expenditures for the Regional SWAT Team.
e. Participation in Training. Participating Agencies agree that Regional SWAT Team abilities are highly perishable and specialized. For this reason, each Participating Agency will attempt to accommodate the team members in attending the training to the best of that agency’s ability. Routine failure to attend scheduled training may result in a Participating Agency’s team member being removed or suspended from the Regional SWAT Team.

XII. LIABILITY, HOLD HARMLESS, AND INDEMNIFICATION
a. Each Participating Agency is an independent entity, and this MOU does not create a separate legal entity. Each Participating Agency shall, always, remain an independent entity solely responsible for all acts of its employees or agents, including any negligent acts or omissions.
b. Each Participating Agency shall consider any request and deployment of the Regional SWAT Team a request for assistance by the requesting law enforcement agency. It is the intent of the Participating Agencies to provide services of the Regional SWAT Team without the threat of being subject to liability to one another and to fully cooperate in the defense of any claims or lawsuits arising out of or connected with the Regional SWAT Team actions that are brought against the jurisdictions. c. Each Participating Agency that assigns employees to the Regional SWAT Team pursuant to this MOU or deploys personnel with the Regional SWAT Team for limited or special purposes shall retain full financial responsibility for its own employees, for

all vehicles and other equipment owned, leased, or used by its own employees, and for any injury or liability claims, including workers’ compensation claims, made by its own employees. Each Participating Agency shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each and every other Participating Agency and their officers and employees from and against any and all liability, losses, claims or damages whatsoever, resulting from the acts or omissions of the indemnifying Participating Agency or its officers or employees related to participation on the Regional SWAT Team or from any defects in vehicles or other equipment owned or leased by the indemnifying Participating Agency and used by the Regional SWAT Team.
d. In the event of concurrent or shared negligence of a City, its officer and/or employees, and any other party to this MOU, its officers, employees, and/or agents then the liability for any and all claims for injuries or damages to persons and/or property which arise out of any incident or event in which a party has used the Regional SWAT Team under the terms and conditions of this MOU, shall be apportioned by the parties under the California doctrine of comparative negligence as established presently, or may be altered hereafter. If the parties fail to agree on the apportionment, then the apportionment shall be established by an arbitrator mutually selected by the parties signatory to this MOU, or by the Court. e. Insurance. Each Participating Agency shall always maintain in full force during the performance of this MOU, a policy, or policies of insurance (or self-insurance covering same) and in the minimum limits of liability as stated herein. i. Comprehensive general liability, on an “occurrence” basis, including but not limited to premises, personal injuries, products, advertising injury, and completed operations for combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: June 10, 2024 FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Greg Ray, Public Works Director/City Engineer Gabriel Munoz-Morris, Senior Engineer
SUBJECT: Acceptance of a Sidewalk Easement at 550 Farroll Road

RECOMMENDATION
Accept a sidewalk easement from a private development at 550 Farroll Road to ensure public use of new sidewalk infill.

BACKGROUND
Wavedivision Holdings, LLC., commonly known as Astound purchased the property at 550 Farroll Road in 2023 to develop a vacant lot into a broadband communications hub and server farm. This facility will ensure connectivity of a recently constructed high-speed fiber network citywide, which provides access to high-speed internet for businesses and residences in Grover Beach.

Staff reviewed the development application and conditioned the construction of new public improvements including new concrete curb and gutter, sidewalk, and driveway apron per City standards. To maintain the established alignment for existing sidewalk improvements along the south side of Farroll Road, the newly constructed sidewalk was conditioned to be installed at the same offset from the roadway centerline as previous sidewalk improvements. Locating the sidewalk improvements in this area results in a portion of the sidewalk falling outside the roadway Right-of-Way. To correct this issue and ensure public use of the sidewalk, the property owner is required to grant an easement for sidewalk purposes over the portion of the property where the new sidewalk will be constructed. The project team has prepared the attached sidewalk easement to allow for public use of the new sidewalk.

Staff recommends accepting this easement, which will be recorded by the applicant, to ensure that approximately 210-feet of new sidewalk infill can be achieved along Farroll Road at no cost to the City. This new sidewalk infill aligns with the Council’s policy on sidewalk infill along major streets like Farroll Road by extending the current sidewalk network while maintaining the established street section of Farroll Road.

FISCAL IMPACT
This recommended action has no fiscal impact.

SIDEWALK EASEMENT
This Sidewalk Easement (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of the date of last signature below (the "Effective Date"), by and between WAVEDMSION HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Grantor"), and the CITY OF GROVER BEACH, a California municipal entity ("City").

A. Grantor is the fee simple owner of that certain real property located in the City of Grover Beach, County of San Luis Obispo, State of California, having a street address of 550Farroll Road, Grover Beach, California 93433, and having San Luis Obispo County Assessor's Parcel No. 060-541-006 (the "Property").

B, The northern edge of the Property abuts the southern edge of the public right-of-way commonly known as Farroll Road (the "Public ROW").

C. Pursuant to Planning Commission Resolution No.23-12, approving Grantor's Development Application for the Property (the "Development Application"), Grantor is required to perform frontage improvements along the northern edge of the Property, including the installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements.

D. In connection with those frontage improvements, the City is requiring that Grantor establish an easement for sidewalk purposes on the northern edge of the Property, as more specifically described in and depicted on Exhibit A hereto (the "Easement Area").

NOW THEREFORE, Grantor hereby grants and conveys to the City, acting in its governmental capacity as the owner and operator of the Public ROW, a perpetual easement (the "Sidewalk Easement") for sidewalk purposes over, across and upon the Easement Area.

The Sidewalk Easement is intended to touch and concern the Property, and shall run with title to the Property and be binding on Grantor's successors in title to the Property. The Sidewalk Easement is intended to be appurtenant to and benefit the Public ROW.

Accordingly, notwithstanding the perpetual nature of the Sidewalk Easement, should the Public ROW ever be vacated or relocated, such that the Easement Area no longer abuts a public right-of-way, the Sidewalk Easement shall automatically expire and terminate upon the effective date of such vacation or relocation.

Agenda Item No. 6

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: June 10, 2024 FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Wendi Sims, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Resolutions for the 2024 General Municipal Election for the Election of Certain Officers of the City

RECOMMENDATION
1) Adopt the Resolution calling and giving notice of a General Municipal Election to be held on November 5, 2024 for the election of certain officers of the City; 2) adopt the Resolution requesting the County Board of Supervisors to consolidate the City’s General Municipal Election with the Statewide General Election; and 3) adopt the Resolution adopting regulations for candidates governing submittal of a Candidate’s Statement.

BACKGROUND:

State law establishes the dates when general law cities conduct municipal elections for the purpose of electing members of the City Council. The Grover Beach Municipal Code (GBMC) Section 2350 (Attachment 4) requires the General Municipal Election to be held on the same day as, and consolidated with, the Statewide General Election. With adoption of the Resolutions described in this staff report, the City will be requesting the County Board of Supervisors to consolidate the General Municipal Election with the Statewide General Election. The request must be submitted to the County Board of Supervisors by no later than August 9, 2024.

As a first step in the election process, certain Resolutions must be adopted by the Council. On March 28, 2022 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 22-02 which changed the City's "at-large" election system to a "district-based" system in which each Council Member seat is elected by the voters in the district in which the candidate resides. Attachment 5 shows the district maps for electing Council Members. The office of Council Member is a four-year term, with terms expiring at staggered intervals. For the November 2024 election, Council seats in Districts 3 and 4 will be up for election. The office of Mayor remains directly elected "at-large" for a two-year term and will be up for election in the November 2024 election, as well. The required Resolutions for the November 2024 election for the purpose of electing a Mayor and two (2) members of the City Council, from District 3 and District 4, are presented to the Council for its consideration (see Attachments 1, 2, and 3).

Current Council Members

In December 2024, the four-year terms of office for positions that are currently filled by Council Member Clint Weirick and Council Member Zach Zimmerman are scheduled to expire, as well as the two-year term of office for Mayor Karen Bright.

Staff Report: Resolutions for the 2024 General Municipal Election Page 2 June 10, 2024

• Council Member Weirick was appointed in January 2023 to fill the remaining two-year term of Mayor Karen Bright when she was elected Mayor in November 2022. Council Member Weirick resides in District 4.
• Council Member Zimmerman was appointed April 2023 to fill the remaining two-year term of former Council Member Anna Miller who resigned in March 2023. Council Member Zimmerman resides in District 3.
• Mayor Karen Bright was elected to the office of Mayor in November 2022. Mayor Bright may run for a second two-year term pursuant to GBMC Section 2304 (Attachment 4).

Nomination Process for Candidates for Elective Office

Office of Council Member - The nomination period for candidates running for the office of Council Member is Monday, July 15 through Friday, August 9, 2024.

Office of Mayor - The nomination period for candidates running for the office of Mayor is Monday, July 15 through Friday, August 9, 2024. If an incumbent does not file nomination papers and qualify by the close of the nomination period, the filing period extends (for non-incumbents only) for five (5) days pursuant to state law.

FISCAL IMPACT
Estimated costs for the November 2024 General Municipal Election are $35,364 and are included in the proposed FY 2024-25 budget. By consolidating the election with other jurisdictions in the County, the City's costs are significantly reduced. A majority of election costs are not reimbursable; however, full cost recovery is authorized for Candidate Statements. If a candidate chooses to have a Candidate's Statement printed in the County’s sample ballot booklet, the City requires an initial deposit at the time a candidate submits his/her Nomination Papers. Candidates are then invoiced (or sent a refund) after the County calculates the share of costs for printing/mailing of the sample ballots for each agency and candidate.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council has the following alternatives to consider:

1. Adopt the Resolutions as submitted; or

2. Amend the Resolutions, provided all requirements of the Elections Code are met, and adopt the Resolutions as amended; or

3. Do not adopt the Resolutions and provide alternative direction to staff.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
The agenda was posted in accordance with the Brown Act. A Notice of Election will be published in New Times pursuant to the timeline prescribed in the Elections Code.

Grover Beach Municipal Code
Article II, Chapter 3
Sec. 2304. Term Limits. A member of the City Council may only serve two consecutive terms in that position. If the City has an elected mayor, an elected mayor may only serve two consecutive terms in that position. The two positions (Council Member and elected mayor) are separate and an individual can serve two consecutive terms in one position and then two consecutive terms in the other. If a person is elected to the office of City Council and because of a vacancy in the office of an elected mayor, such person is appointed to fill the unexpired term of an elected mayor, such Council Member shall be deemed to be serving just the term of a City Council Member. However, if a person should be elected to the office of City Council and part way through his or her term as a member of the City Council, such person is elected mayor, then such person shall be deemed to have served his or her full term as a City Council Member upon acceptance of the office of elected mayor.

Even if a person has already served two consecutive terms in one position, such person may serve another two consecutive terms if at least twenty-three months have passed since such person last served in that same position. (Approved by electorate on November 5, 1996, pursuant to Resolution No. 96-46; Am. Ord. No. 08-05.)

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: June 10, 2024 FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Megan Martin, Community Development Director Janet Reese, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Public Hearing Regarding the Closeout of State Community Development Block Grant Contract 20-CDBG-12013

RECOMMENDATION
Receive a report summarizing the accomplishments performed under the State Community Development Block Grant Agreement 20-CDBG-12013; conduct a public hearing to solicit citizen input regarding expenditures and accomplishments of the funding received under the contract; and direct staff to proceed with submitting required documents for closeout to the State.

BACKGROUND
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program authorizes the use of funds to provide decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities to low- and moderate-income families. There are two types of CDBG programs: “entitlement” and “non-entitlement”. Metropolitan cities and urban counties are entitled to receive annual grants under the “entitlement” program direct from HUD.

Metropolitan cities are principal cities or Metropolitan Areas (MAs) or other cities within MAs that have populations of at least 50,000. Urban Counties are within MAs that have population of 200,000 or more excluding the population of metropolitan cities within their boundaries.

The City falls within the “non-entitlement” program which is administered by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and where the City can apply for funding under a competitive application process. In 2013 the City started to apply under the non-entitlement program and has since received grant awards for the following uses:

Waterline Improvement Project (2013, 2017, 2020) $5,900,000 Subsistence Payments/Eviction Prevention Program (2013, 2017, 2020) $840,000 Security Deposits/Rapid Rehousing Program (2013, 2017, 2020) $303,000 Childcare Training Program (2020 Coronavirus) $51,000
Warming Center Operation Program (2020 Coronavirus) $163,000 Homeless Services Program (2020 Coronavirus) $256,000
Homeless Shelter Operation Program (2022) $500,000
Planning/Technical Studies (2013, 2017)* $200,000
Total $8,200,000
* Includes Housing Element Update, Economic Development Study, Senior Center Feasibility Study Staff Report: CDBG Contract Closeout Page 2
June 10, 2024
On March 21, HCD staff informed the City that the application submitted on March 1 for Ramona Garden Park Improvements Phases 1 and 2 for $3.3 million was being recommended for approval.

If this application is approved and the City awarded the funding, the total above would increase to $11.5 million.

To officially close out a contract, the City is required to first conduct a public hearing to solicit input regarding expenditures and accomplishments of the funding received under the contract and then submit required documents to HCD. On January 21, 2020, HCD published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for 2020 CDBG funds. Subsequently, the Council authorized an application for a Security Deposit Program administered by 5Cities Homeless Coalition (5CHC). The program provides eligible households the security deposit required to move into rental housing units. The City was awarded $126,590 for the program, and HCD issued contract 20-CDBG-12013 on June 4, 2021. 5CHC assisted 22 households totaling 37 individuals, expending a total of $90,921.50.

The remaining $35,668.50 will be disencumbered and returned to HCD.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City’s operating budget from this action. Unexpended CDBG funds will be returned to HCD.

ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:

1. Conduct a public hearing, receive public comment and review the accomplishments performed under the 20-CDBG-12013 agreement; and provide direction for staff to send the HCD required closeout forms and documents; or

2. Provide alternative direction to staff.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
The public hearing notice was published in the Tribune May 29, 2024 and New Times on May 30, 2024, in English and Spanish, as required by HCD. In addition, the notice was also posted on the City Hall bulletin board, City website, and social media accounts on May 28, 2024. 5Cities Homeless Coalition was also notified of the meeting.

Agenda Item No. 8

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: June 10, 2024 FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Nick Szamet, Administrative Services Director SUBJECT: FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget and FY 2024-29 Capital Improvement Program

RECOMMENDATION
Review the FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget and FY 2024-29 Capital Improvement Program and provide direction to staff to finalize the FY 2024-25 budget for adoption at the June 24, 2024 City Council meeting.

BACKGROUND
The Council adopted the FY 2023-25 two-year budget on June 26, 2023. The budget for the second year (FY 2024-25) was a projection and staff reviewed the projections in light of changing circumstances and requests to determine adjustments that are needed for this revised budget.

As a result of this review, staff has developed a Proposed Budget for FY 2024-25 with a total citywide budget of $35.2 million, including $18.4 million in the City’s General Fund, $6.7 million in Enterprise Funds (Water and Wastewater), and $1.5 million in Special Revenue Funds. The fiveyear Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes $6.7 million in funding for capital projects which includes $3.5 million from the General Fund primarily in carry-over funds, $780,000 from Enterprise Funds, and $2.2 million in funding from the Regional Early Action Grant Program. The FY 2024-25 Revised Budget is a balanced budget with a nominal surplus that maintains current service levels and produces ending reserves higher than the Council policy goal of 25% to provide sufficient reserves for emergencies or unforeseen events or needs.

The City Manager’s Letter of Transmittal provides an executive overview highlighting major Council Goals and Priorities. The FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget provides for targeted investments to address Council Goals with a focus on the four Major City Goals: Economic Development and Community Promotion, Housing and Homelessness, Public Safety, and Street Maintenance and Complete Streets.

Although the City continues to navigate ongoing challenges in the macro-economic environment related to inflation and high interest rates, the City has a strong financial position that allows for continued investment to address community needs as identified by Council Goals for FY 2024-

25. Staff projects moderate growth to General Fund tax revenues, which comprise 81% of general revenues. Estimates are mostly on track with the five-year forecast presented to the Council in February. This includes the following five most significant general revenue sources:
• Sales Tax– the largest source of revenue, sales tax comprises 33% of general revenues.

Projections estimate growth of less than 1% over FY 2024-25 Budget. Estimates include $2.6 from Measure F-20 approved by voters in November 2020.

Staff Report: FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget and FY 2024-29 Five Year CIP Page 2 June 10, 2024

• Property Tax – the second largest source of general revenue at 32%, property tax estimates include projected growth of 4% in FY 2024-25. • Cannabis Tax – projected to grow 2% from $1.2 million to $1.22 in FY 2024-25, which is

0.5% more than FY 2023-24.
• Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) – projected to grow by $286,000 in FY 2024-25 based on short-term rentals and increased hotel revenue due to the anticipated completion of a new hotel at 950 El Camino Real in early 2025.
• Franchise Fees – Franchise fees for FY 2024-25 are projected to be 13% over FY 2023- 24 for a total amount of $947,000 which includes an additional $100,000 in revenue for the installation of a new transoceanic fiber optic cable that has been delayed but is expected to be operational in FY 2024-25.

In terms of expenditures, the Proposed Budget includes a General Fund contribution of $600,000 for FY 2024-25 allocated to the City’s CIP. The Proposed Budget also provides a $250,000 General Fund contribution in FY 2024-25 to the City’s Equipment Replacement Fund to provide funding to replace aging equipment and clear a backlog of deferred maintenance. This brings the combined General Fund capital investment to $850,000 in FY 2024-25.

Given the City is in the second year of a two-year budget cycle and Council Goals were reaffirmed in February 2024 with no changes, the General Fund operating budget is largely a reflection of the budget prepared in the prior year. Additionally, staff continues to work with employee bargaining groups to negotiate new compensation agreements which will ultimately affect the FY 2024-25 budget when the agreements are brought forward to the Council for approval.

The Proposed Budget for FY 2024-25 represents continuing investment by the City to implement Council Goals and address community needs while maintaining sufficient reserves. The proposed General Fund budget for FY 2024-25 is balanced with a small surplus of approximately $60,000 and ending reserves of approximately 31% of operating expenses. Staff recognizes Council’s imperative for fiscal prudence given continuing uncertainty in national and regional economy. The budget presented ensures reserves are available for the financial strength of the City while continuing efforts to make Grover Beach a highly desirable place to live and do business.

Council Direction
Following the Proposed Budget presentation, staff is requesting Council input and direction on any changes to the budget prior to bringing the budget to Council for final adoption at the June 24, 2024 meeting. An idea for the Council’s consideration that came up after the completion of the budget was allocating funding for a “Buy Local” economic development program to support businesses impacted by the construction of the West Grand Avenue Streetscape project. This project, which began in May, will extend through the end of 2024 and involve significant traffic and parking lot disruptions given the scope of this project.

The “Buy Local” program is proposed to be similar to previous iterations of the program where $100 in receipts at a local business will earn a $25 gift card to a local business. Rather than citywide, staff would propose to include food and beverage and retail businesses on West Grand Avenue from Highway 1 to 9th Street in this iteration given the construction impacts facing these businesses. Staff has reached out to the South County Chambers of Commerce to coordinate the administration of such a program and estimates it will cost approximately $15,000 in purchasing gift cards and administrative costs. Council may direct staff to include this funding from General Fund reserves in this year’s budget and return to the Council on June 24 with this appropriation.

Staff Report: FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget and FY 2024-29 Five Year CIP Page 3 June 10, 2024

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact from this agenda item as the budget will be adopted at a subsequent meeting. The FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget contains comprehensive financial information at the fund level (Fund Information section) and departmental and program information (Department Budgets).

ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:

1. Review the FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget and FY 2024-29 Capital Improvement Program and provide direction to staff to finalize the FY 2024-25 budget for adoption at the June 24, 2024 City Council meeting; or

2. Provide alternative direction to staff.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
The agenda was posted in accordance with the Brown Act.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
2025-2029
Executive Summary
The City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
outlines a schedule of expenditures over the
ensuing five-year period (2025-2029). The CIP
does not address all of the capital expenditures
for the City, but provides for larger scale
infrastructure improvements, that are
permanent in nature, including transportation
systems, and municipal facilities.

Projects in this document must be in excess of
$50,000 with a useful life of at least ten years;
or a study of at least $50,000 that will lead to
such projects; or add to the value or capacity of
the infrastructure of the City. Projects that are
considered operational or routine maintenance
are excluded from this program.

The Capital Improvement Program proposes
project funding relative to the anticipated
availability of fiscal resources and the choice of
specific improvements to be achieved
throughout the five-year plan. The Projected
Revenue Summary on page 5 identifies
fourteen (14) revenue sources and their use by
year for FY 2025-2029.

The Expenditure Summary on pages 6 and 7
identifies project expenditures in the following
five categories:

Parks / Community Services
Street / Storm Drain
Public Buildings / Facilities
Water
Wastewater
The Expenditure Summary for FY 2025
indicates a total of approximately $12,000,00 in
spending within the five project categories,
which includes carryover funding. Detailed
information regarding each identified project
can be found on pages 11 - 42. The
information provided includes a project
description, the current status of the project,
identified funding sources and the total
projected project cost.

As is often the case, funding needs identified in
the CIP exceeds the available funding. Page 43
shows a list of 30 capital needs identified at a
cost of approximately $86 million dollars that do
not have an established, secure source of
funding at this time. These identified needs will
be considered as potential funding sources are
identified.

Maximizing the City’s funding and addressing
rising costs incurred in maintaining and
rehabilitating infrastructure makes the process
of selecting capital projects to fund challenging.

There are several types of capital needs such
as construction of new, first-time improvements,
replacement of aged infrastructure that is at or
beyond its service life or large-scale capital
maintenance. In addition, studies related to the
City’s various infrastructure asset categories
are included in the CIP if the study will result in
future capital improvement projects.

Agenda Item No. 9

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: June 10, 2024 FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Robert Lomeli, City Attorney
Kristin Eriksson, Assistant City Manager
Greg Ray, Public Works Director
Nick Szamet, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT: Report on Citizen Initiative to Repeal Water and Wastewater Rate Structures and Resolution to Call an Election

RECOMMENDATION
Accept the fiscal impact report prepared by staff on a proposed citizen initiative to repeal the City’s water and wastewater rate structures and adopt a resolution calling an election to submit the initiative to the voters at the next general municipal election on November 5, 2024.

BACKGROUND
Overview of Water and Wastewater Rate Structures
On December 11, 2023, Council adopted water and wastewater rate structures to provide needed funding for increased operations and maintenance costs, as well as planned capital projects for each system. This approval came after a Proposition 218 process was conducted where less than 50% of water and wastewater customers within the city submitted protests opposing the rates which enabled the Council to approve the rate structures. Attachment 1 shows Resolution 23-37 adopted by the Council to enact the rate structures. These adopted rate structures superseded the previous rate structures adopted by the Council on May 10, 2021 which covered a five-year period from FY 2021-22 through FY 2025-26.

On April 22, 2024, the Council received an update on the City’s water supply which detailed the City’s current and future water supply needs, alternatives for obtaining additional water supply, and options for adjusting water rates in light of unanticipated cost increases for the Central Coast Blue (CCB) recycled water project. Council subsequently directed staff to return with an agenda item to withdraw from the CCB project and related Joint Powers Authority and adjust water rates to remove all costs associated with the CCB project and allocate one-time funds in FY 2024-25 to support the City’s water resiliency efforts. The wastewater rates were not recommended to be adjusted as that rate structure is not impacted by the CCB project.

At the May 13, 2024 meeting, the Council received this information from staff and subsequently took action to lower the water rates to the previous rate structure adopted on May 10, 2021. The Council did not take similar action to adjust wastewater rates thus leaving this rate structure as adopted in December 2023.

Staff Report: Report on Citizen Initiative to Repeal Water and Wastewater Rate Structures Page 2 June 10, 2024
Submitted Initiative
On January 8, 2024, the City received a Notice of Intention to Circulate Petition for a proposed ballot initiative measure to repeal City Resolution No. 23-37 and a request that the City Attorney prepare a Ballot Title and Summary. The City Clerk transmitted that request to the City Attorney in accordance with Elections Code Section 9203(a) and the City Attorney provided the Ballot Title and Summary on January 23, 2024 as shown Attachment 2. The Summary noted that the proposed measure would necessitate a reevaluation of the City’s financial ability to complete planned infrastructure improvements for both water and wastewater systems. On March 11, 2024, proponents of the initiative submitted signed petitions. In accordance with the Elections Code, the City Clerk reviewed the petitions, did a prima facie count of signatures and filed the petition with the County on March 14, 2024. The City Clerk then verified the requisite number of signatures (235 registered voters) and certified the petition on April 25, 2024. A corrected certification was subsequently completed on May 9, 2024, to ensure compliance with the Elections Code.

The Council considered the initiative at the May 13, 2024 meeting. Pursuant to California Elections Code Section 9215, the Council was required to take one of the following actions:

1. Adopt the proposed ordinance, without alteration, thus reducing both water and wastewater rates to the structure adopted in 2021;

2. Adopt a resolution calling an election to submit the initiative measure to the voters at the next general municipal election on November 5, 2024;

3. Order City staff to provide a report, as specified in Elections Code Section 9212 and direct that the City Attorney also prepare an impartial analysis of the initiative. Such a report would then be required to be presented to the Council within 30 days, on or before June 12, 2024.

The Council directed staff to provide a report on the impacts of the proposed initiative and directed the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis of the initiative. Upon presentation of the report to the Council, the Council must either adopt the ordinance within 10 days or submit the proposed Initiative Measure to the voters at the general municipal election on November 5, 2024.

Impacts of the Proposed Initiative
The following information provides a summary of the impacts of the proposed initiative on the City’s water and wastewater systems including operations, maintenance, and capital projects.

Water System Impacts
Operations and Maintenance Funding Impacts. Based on an estimate of operations and maintenance costs in future years including debt service on the existing 2020 revenue bond issued to fund capital improvements, there would be insufficient revenue to fund water system operations and maintenance beginning in FY 2026-27 in addition to a lack of funding for recommended capital projects. To balance cost and revenue, the City’s options would be to deplete the operations and capital reserves or to reduce operations and maintenance costs, which have already been reduced significantly due to limited income in the system over the past 20 years. The most likely result would be a reduction in water system reserves below the minimum amount required for bond coverage by FY 2028-29 which could subject the City to legal action by bondholders and a subsequent court order implementing a mandatory rate increase to provide a sufficient bond coverage reserve amount.

Staff Report: Report on Citizen Initiative to Repeal Water and Wastewater Rate Structures Page 3 June 10, 2024
System Reliability Impacts. The majority of the existing water system was constructed in the 1960s. This includes pumps, wells, booster stations, water tanks, water lines, and valves.

Historically, due to a lack of sufficient funding, major maintenance was deferred and replacements and upgrades only occurred after system components failed. In 2010, staff developed a 10-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the water system to begin maintenance and replacement of aging system components which were long overdue. In addition, given the recommendations in the 2010 Water Master Plan to upsize certain water mains, valves and pumps for existing and future development, staff also proposed capital projects for water system capacity upgrades. To minimize impacts to ratepayers at the time, the 10-year CIP was modified and spread across a 20-year period resulting in greater risk of system failures and loss of service.

The reduction in water rates in the citizen initiative would result in a near-total loss of funding for water system capital improvements resulting in further delays of necessary replacements and upgrades. The City has already seen a number of failures in the water system in recent years related to the aging water system components. The likely outcome of not adequately funding the recommended CIP is a higher frequency of water system failures and resulting water service interruptions to City residents and businesses as well as higher costs for emergency repairs.

Certain street repair projects would need to be delayed in order to avoid cutting into freshly paved streets unless the Council revised its policy direction of upgrading underground utilities ahead of street projects to avoid pavement cuts after the paving projects are complete.

Below is a list of water projects identified in the five-year CIP that would be delayed as a result of the loss of revenue:
• Water Main Zone Valves - Replacement of existing zone valves and installation of additional zone valves are necessary in order to reduce the scope of water shutdowns for water repairs. Currently the system has a number of valves that have failed and with a relatively small number of valves, most shutdowns involve multiple blocks. • Well Facility Improvements - The City's aging well field and well field components need to be analyzed to determine if they can still deliver their original capacity and if improvements are needed in order to continue to assure a continuous supply of groundwater to the City. • 16th Street Booster Station Pump and Equipment Upgrades – This project ensures approximately 25% of residential water accounts (approximately 1,300 accounts) including at Grover Heights Elementary School have adequate water pressure and to ensure fire flow protection.
• Water Meter Replacement Program - More than 50% of the City’s existing water meters are older than 10 years old. As water meters approach 10 years of age, they begin failing and underreporting the amount of water used. The result is a loss in income to the water system further depleting revenue needed for operations maintenance and upgrades. • Automated Meter Reading - The current manual read system allows system errors such as failed meters and significant leaks to remain undetected for up to two months resulting in either significant costs to residents or significant loss of revenue to the water system.

The automated read system would provide instantaneous feedback regarding errors. • Upsizing Water Mains – There are a number of water main segments that required upsizing in order to provide adequate fire flow to certain areas of the City. Without these upgrades, there could be insufficient pressure or flow to provide adequate fire suppression. • Nitrate Plant De-commissioning - The City’s existing nitrate treatment plant is no longer needed and should be decommissioned and removed.
• Reservoir Maintenance - A recent analysis of the condition of the City's water reservoirs indicated that significant coating maintenance and other upgrades are needed in order to keep the tanks in service.

Staff Report: Report on Citizen Initiative to Repeal Water and Wastewater Rate Structures Page 4 June 10, 2024
Drought Preparedness and Growth Impacts. The loss of revenue resulting from the reduction in water rates would eliminate funding to identify and secure an additional source of water supply.

Staff has estimated that during times of extended drought, the current water supply could be insufficient to serve existing water customers resulting in a need for severe cutbacks in water use.

In addition, a number of building permits and development projects have been approved but not yet built resulting in an additional demand for water which further would strain long-term supplies unless additional water was secured. With continued population growth, the City's water demand may exceed its available supply by 2030 even during normal rainfall years with no supply buffer available to address drought or water system emergencies.

Sewer System Impacts
Operations and Maintenance Funding Impacts. Based on an estimate of operation and maintenance costs in future years, the proposed initiative would result in insufficient revenue to fund operations and maintenance for the wastewater system beginning next fiscal year (FY 2024- 25). In order to balance cost and revenues, the only options similar to the water system would be to deplete the operations and capital reserves below recommended values or to reduce operations and maintenance costs which have already been reduced significantly due to limited income in the system over the past 20 years. The most likely result would be a reduction in reserves funds below the minimum amount. The capital reserves currently have sufficient funds to complete a portion of the proposed capacity upgrades to sewer mains to account for existing demands and demands from building permits and approved development projects. However, beyond FY 2024-25 there would be insufficient funds to complete any proposed capital projects.

System Reliability Impacts. Similar to the water system, the majority of the components of the existing sewer system were constructed in the 1960s. This includes lift stations, sewer mains and manholes. The City also developed a 10-year capital improvement program for the wastewater system in 2010 and adopted a Sewer Master Plan in 2019 which recommended upsizing certain sewer mains for existing and future development, rehabilitating a number of failing sewer mains, and completing long overdue maintenance and upgrades to the City's existing lift stations. To minimize impacts to ratepayers at the time, the 10-year capital improvement program was modified and spread across a 20-year period resulting in greater risk of system failures and loss of service.

The reduction in sewer rates in the citizen initiative would eliminate funding for any recommended sewer system capital improvements beyond fiscal year 2024-25 resulting in further delays of necessary replacements and upgrades. The City has already seen a number of wastewater system failures in recent years related to the aging sewer system components. The likely outcome of failing to adequately fund the recommended capital program is a higher frequency of system failures and resulting sewer service interruptions to residents and businesses, sewer system overflows and higher costs for emergency repairs with no identified funding to cover those costs.

Certain street repair projects would need to be delayed in order to avoid cutting into freshly paved streets unless the Council revised its policy direction of upgrading underground utilities ahead of street projects to avoid pavement cuts after the paving projects are complete.

The following page shows a list of wastewater projects identified in the five-year CIP that would be delayed as a result of the loss of revenue:
• Sewer Upgrade Projects – To meet capacity needs for existing demands and approved development, the City developed two upgrade projects to address a number of existing capacity deficiencies and to provide adequate capacity for development projects approved or anticipated to be approved in the next couple of years. The project scope will need to Staff Report: Report on Citizen Initiative to Repeal Water and Wastewater Rate Structures Page 5 June 10, 2024
be reduced based on available funding and will only be sufficient to provide capacity upgrades for development currently in construction. The deferred scope of work will result in delays to street rehabilitation projects as identified below and it is likely that future development that impacts the sewer mains outside of the reduced project scope would also be delayed.
• Front Street Lift Station Upgrades - The Front Street lift station is at the end of its service life and many of the components have begun to fail. Without the necessary upgrades, the lift station may fail unexpectedly resulting in sewer overflows and require emergency upgrades without a source of identified funding.
• South Oak Park Lift Station Upgrades - The lift station is approaching the end of its useful service life and needs significant maintenance and upgrades in order to assure reliable service without sewer overflows in the future.
• Storm Drain Repair at Railroad Tracks - The existing storm drain culvert that allows runoff from the Front Street area to flow to Meadow Creek has reached the end of its useful service life and has begun to fail. Further failure could result in significant flooding during large storms.
• Citywide Sewer Lining - The City recently completed a citywide sewer video project that identified a number of failing city sewer mains. These mains need to be replaced or lined in order to avoid sewer spills and possible system backups resulting in sewer overflows. • Measure K-14 Street Repair Project 17 - The project includes North 9th from West Grand to Atlantic City, North 11th from West Grand to Ramona, North 12th from West Grand to Newport, Brighton from North 10th to North 13th, Ramona from 16th to Oak Park, Alma Ct, and Moss Ct. This project would be delayed to corresponding delays in the sewer infrastructure projects on affected streets due to lack of funding.

Growth Impacts. The Sewer Master Plan identified a number of sewer mains with insufficient capacity to serve existing residences, approved developments, and future development. The loss of capital reserves to complete sewer main upgrades given a lack of wastewater rate funding means that only a small number of sewer mains can be upgraded with remaining reserve funds.

Development projects resulting in sewer flows in excess of downstream sewer main capacity will either have to construct the upgraded sewer mains themselves at a significant cost or delay advancing projects until there is sufficient funding to construct the upgraded mains from capital reserves. This will likely create a significant barrier for future development opportunities including both commercial and residential developments.

FISCAL IMPACT
Staff has worked with the City’s utility rate consultant to prepare Fiscal Impacts Report consisting of financial plans for both Water and Wastewater Funds based on passage of the proposed ballot initiative. These reports are shown in Attachment 3.

The results to the Water Fund would not be significantly more impactful given Council has already reduced water rates to levels approved in 2021 as noted previously. However, the result of this reduction as shown in the Proposed Budget for FY 2024-25 presented to the Council in an earlier agenda item is the elimination of all the capital projects planned for the water system except $25,000 for valve replacement in FY 2024-25. The reduction in capital investment for the City’s water system is necessary to ensure sufficient reserves are maintained to provide enough funds for operating and maintenance while being able to address unforeseen capital expenses in the event of an emergency. This funding recommendation also provides necessary funding to pay Pismo Beach for preconstruction costs incurred from the Central Coast Blue recycled water project. Under these circumstances, the Water Fund will remain solvent for the foreseeable future Staff Report: Report on Citizen Initiative to Repeal Water and Wastewater Rate Structures Page 6 June 10, 2024
but is already short of its reserve target by $800,000. In sum, the rate structure approved in 2021 provides for a 4% increase in July 2024 and 4% increase in July 2025 before the rate structure expires and will maintain the system in its current state without further investments in replacing critical infrastructure.

As for the Wastewater Fund, the Council has maintained the December 2023 rates which was tied to financing needed for critical sewer improvements through debt issuance. The citizen initiative would deplete the revenue capacity of the Wastewater Fund to the point where resources would be best placed in maintaining sufficient reserves for continuing operations as shown in the Fiscal Impact Report. To illustrate this point, the report models the maintenance of proposed necessary capital investment but removes the rate increases. The result shown is Wastewater Fund insolvency by the end of FY 2024-25 unless capital projects were reduced or eliminated.

Furthermore, the citizen initiative would negatively impact both the Water and Wastewater Funds’ ability to finance future projects. If either fund were to seek a loan, it is unlikely the City’s enterprise revenues would be deemed a worthy credit risk given insufficient revenue capacity to meet a debt repayment schedule. It should also be noted that the Council retains the authority to set water and wastewater rates up to the limits approved for year-over-year increases through the adopted December 2023 rate structure. However, by repealing that rate structure the proposed initiative would remove Council’s authority to increase either rate beyond what was set in 2021 absent another Proposition 218 process.

From a revenue standpoint, staff estimates that adoption of the proposed ordinance by the citizen initiative would reduce revenue for the Water Fund by $10,362,172 through FY 2023-2028 and for the Wastewater Fund by $3,197,924 through that same period. If the ordinance was adopted, staff would need to bring an item to the Council to reevaluate the fiscal health and capacity of the Water and Wastewater Funds to meet the City’s needs.

CITY ATTORNEY’S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS

FROM: City Attorney's Office
RE: Proposed Initiative Measure to Repeal Resolution No. 23-37 On January 8, 2024, the City received a Notice of Intention to Circulate Petition for a proposed local ballot measure to repeal City resolution 23-36 amending the City’s master fee schedule for water and wastewater rates (“Measure”). Accompanying the Measure was a request to prepare a Ballot Title and Summary. The City Clerk’s office immediately transmitted that request to the City Attorney’s office in accordance with Elections Code Section 9203, subdivision (a).

In accordance with Elections Code Section 9203, subdivision (a), the following is the City Attorney’s Ballot Title and Summary of the Measure.

Pursuant to California Elections Code section 9203, subdivision (a), the City Attorney has prepared the following ballot title and summary of the proposed initiative Measure. The ballot title and summary must be printed across the top of each page of the petition whereon signatures are to appear as required by Elections Code section 9203, subdivision (b).

A Citizen’s Initiative Measure to Repeal Water and Wastewater Rate Increases Enacted by City Council Resolution No. 23-37
The purpose of this measure is to ask registered voters in the City of Grover Beach if they wish to repeal Resolution No. 23-37, adopted by the Grover Beach City Council on December Attachment 2
- 2 -
11, 2023. The resolution authorizes a rate structure allowing for increases in water and wastewater rates over a four-year period beginning February 2024.

Resolution No. 23-37 was enacted to fund water and sewer projects within the City, encompassing various infrastructure improvements, including upgrades to a booster station, reservoir maintenance, increasing sewer line capacity and upgrading aged sewer lines. The water rate increase was also enacted to fund the City’s share of costs for the Central Coast Blue recycled water project, a collaborative project involving the cities of Grover Beach, Arroyo Grande, and Pismo Beach.

Successful passage of this measure would repeal water and wastewater fee increases enacted under City Council Resolution 23-37 and would necessitate a reevaluation of the City’s financial ability to complete planned infrastructure improvements.

CITY OF GROVER BEACH
INITIATIVE MEASURE ____
CITY ATTORNEY’S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS
Initiative Measure ___ asks the voters whether City of Grover Beach Resolution No. 23-37, setting new and increased water and wastewater rates, should be repealed.

Background. On December 11, 2023, the Grover Beach City Council approved Resolution No. 23-37 and implemented new water and wastewater rates to address increased operations, maintenance, and planned capital project costs. On April 22, 2024, City Council discussed the increasing costs related to the Central Coast Blue (“CCB”) project, the City’s current water supply, and its future water needs. Council voted to withdraw from the CCB project and reduced water rates to those in effect immediately prior to approval of Resolution No. 23-37.

Proposed Initiative Measure. On January 8, 2024, a citizen’s ballot initiative was proposed to repeal Resolution No. 23-37, thereby reducing water and wastewater rates to the levels in effect prior to the approval of Resolution No. 23-37 on December 11, 2023. The initiative petition gathered sufficient signatures for placement on the ballot and was certified by the City Clerk.

Effect of Measure. If Initiative Measure ___ is approved by a majority of voters, Resolution No. 23-37 will be repealed. The repeal of Resolution No. 23-37 will reduce the City’s water and wastewater rates to the levels in place immediately prior to the adoption of Resolution No. 23-37.

The water and wastewater fees collected by the City are utilized for ongoing costs related to the operation of the City’s water and wastewater systems, including ongoing maintenance, repair, upgrades and replacement. The fees ensure that water and wastewater systems will remain operational, reliable, and compliant with health and environmental standards. Under California law, water and wastewater rates must be based on the cost of service. Any revenue collected from these fees must be allocated to their respective enterprise funds to ensure they are ultimately used for water and wastewater-related services and projects. Revenue from water and wastewater fees is essential for the City to obtain bonding because it provides a reliable source of income to service debt, ensuring investors of the City’s ability to repay bonds used for infrastructure projects. This financial stability and assurance make the bonds more attractive to investors, facilitating the City’s access to necessary funding. Adoption of the initiative measure will reduce the revenues for both water and wastewater funds. Any shortfall in funds within the City’s enterprise funds will require supplementation from the City’s general fund.

THE ABOVE STATEMENT IS AN IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF INITIATIVE MEASURE _____. IF YOU DESIRE A COPY OF THE FULL TEXT OF THE MEASURE, PLEASE CALL THE CITY CLERK, WENDI SIMS, AT 805-473-4568 OR EMAIL AT [email protected], AND A COPY WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU AT NO COST.
