CITY OF GROVER BEACH

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.

AB 481 also requires law enforcement agencies to present an annual report to their governing body on the use of the equipment, any complaint(s) or concern(s) regarding the use of the equipment, results of any internal audits on the use of the equipment, the annual costs for the equipment, the quantity possessed (in parenthesis) by the agency and the intention to purchase additional equipment in the following year.

Agenda Item No. 6

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: February 24, 2025 FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Megan Martin, Community Development Director Janet Reese, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Adams Ashby Group for General Administration Services for Community Development Block Grants

RECOMMENDATION
Approve an amendment to the existing Professional Services Agreement with Adams Ashby Group to support administration of the 2022 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and 2023A CDBG funds, increasing the contract amount from $133,000 to $250,642 and extending the agreement term to the closeout of the current CDBG contracts.

BACKGROUND
In September 2020, staff prepared and circulated a Request for Proposals for general administration services for grants administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Subsequently, on October 19, 2020, the Council authorized a Professional Services Agreement (Agreement) with Adams Ashby Group. Adams Ashby Group has extensive experience in supporting municipalities and communities in successfully securing over $40 million in grant funding to implement various programs and projects including over $11 million in Grover Beach since 2013.

The Agreement covered general administration and labor compliance services of projects and general administration of programs funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) awards under the 2020 CDBG Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) and the CDBG Coronavirus (CV) NOFAs. Since that time, the City has received additional CDBG funding awards, requiring continued and expanded administrative support. An amendment to the agreement is necessary to ensure that these funds are effectively managed and that all compliance requirements are met.

The amendment will also provide further clarification on administrative costs, contract duration, and labor compliance responsibilities.

The amendments to the agreement include the following modifications:
• Amends the term of the agreement from December 31, 2025, to the closeout of the current CDBG contracts.
• Clarifies the amount of the agreement does not include the cost of preparing grant applications, as this cost is paid from the City’s portion of a grant’s general administration allocation.

Staff Report: Amendment to CDBG Professional Services Agreement Page 2 February 24, 2025
• Clarifies the cost of services includes labor compliance for those contracts that include a project improvement project. Labor compliance administration ensures that contractors and subcontractors comply with federal and state prevailing wage requirements. • Reflects HCD’s award of 2022 CDBG and 2023A CDBG funds to the City, increasing the total contract amount from $133,000 to $250,642 since the administrative costs are tied to a percentage of CDBG funds awarded.

The proposed amendment exceeds 20% of the original contract amount and requires Council review and approval, pursuant to the City’s Purchasing Policy. Without additional contract support, the City may risk potential delays in program implementation and an increased administrative burden on existing staff. This amendment is critical to ensure effective program management, specialized compliance oversight, and successful execution of grant funded projects.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the services under the amended agreement will be covered by the general administration allocation of the awarded CDBG funds. Upon approval, staff will appropriate the funding in the FY 2024-25 budget. No General Fund impact is anticipated.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Approve the proposed amendment to the Agreement with Adams Ashby Group; or

2. Provide alternative direction to staff

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

It is understood that the amount of compensation defined in this Section is based upon current CDBG Program funding to the City.

Such change shall be made as an amendment to this Agreement.

C. In the event of termination due to failure of CONSULTANT to satisfactorily perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, CITY may withhold an amount that would otherwise be payable as an offset to, but not in excess of, CITY’S damages caused by such failure. In no event shall any payment by CITY pursuant to this Agreement constitute a waiver by CITY of any breach of this Agreement which may then exist on the part of CONSULTANT, nor shall such payment impair or prejudice any remedy available to CITY with respect to the breach.

(i) Exercise any right, remedy (in contract, law or equity), or privilege which may be available to it under applicable laws of the State of California or any other applicable law; (ii) Proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms of the Agreement; and/or

E. CONSULTANT shall provide CITY with adequate written assurances of future performance, upon the request of the Director or his/her designee, in the event CONSULTANT fails to comply with any terms or conditions of this Agreement.

F. CONSULTANT shall be liable for default unless nonperformance is caused by an occurrence beyond the reasonable control of CONSULTANT and without its fault or negligence such as, acts of God or the public enemy, acts of CITY in its contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, unusually severe weather, and delays of common carriers. CONSULTANT shall notify the Director or his/her designee in writing as soon as it is reasonably possible after the commencement of any excusable delay, setting forth the full particulars in connection therewith, and shall remedy such occurrence with all reasonable dispatch, and shall promptly give written notice to the Director or his/her designee of the cessation of such occurrence.

G. CONSULTANT agrees that, notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, any dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement (including, without limitation, disputes based on contract, tort, equity or statute) may, at CITY’S option, be joined and consolidated with any other dispute or disputes arising from or relating to the PROJECT so that all disputes arising from or relating to the PROJECT may be resolved in a single proceeding. CONSULTANT hereby specifically waives any objection it may otherwise have to such joinder and consolidation and specifically consents to mediation, arbitration or any other dispute resolution mechanism, forum or proceeding necessary to effectuate the joinder and consolidation contemplated by this provision.

C. Title to the work shall pass to CITY upon final acceptance by CITY. CITY reserves the right to donate, transfer or sell the work or any portion thereof. CITY shall have the exclusive right to publicly display the work and shall have a license to reproduce (such as photographs and prints) or create three-dimensional reproductions of the work for any noncommercial purpose (including, but not limited to, books, slides,

postcards, film, Internet sites, reproductions for advertising, and other media). Prior to public display, the CITY shall consider the sensitive nature and potential security risk of releasing the information to the general public.

Therefore, any acceptance of such services by CITY shall not operate as a release of CONSULTANT or any subcontractors from said professional standards.

ARTICLE VI. INDEMNIFICATION AND DEFENSE
A. CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, defend with legal counsel approved by AGENCY, and hold harmless AGENCY, its officers, officials, attorneys, employees and volunteers from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with CONTRACTOR's negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in the performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such loss or damage which is caused by the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the AGENCY. Should conflict of interest principles preclude a single legal counsel from representing both AGENCY and CONTRACTOR, or should AGENCY otherwise find CONTRACTOR’s legal counsel unacceptable, then CONTRACTOR shall reimburse the AGENCY its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. The CONTRACTOR shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the AGENCY (and its officers, officials, attorneys, employees and volunteers) with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact to have been the result of the CONTRACTOR’s negligent, reckless or wrongful performance. It is expressly understood and agreed

that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.

B. CONTRACTOR obligations under this section apply regardless of whether such claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an Indemnitee. However, without affecting the rights of AGENCY under any provision of this agreement, CONTRACTOR shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless AGENCY for liability attributable to the active negligence of AGENCY, provided such active negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where AGENCY is shown to have been actively negligent and where AGENCY’S active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of CONTRACTOR will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of AGENCY.

C. If CONSULTANT should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be performed under this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall require each subcontractor to indemnify, hold harmless and defend CITY and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers in accordance with the terms of the preceding paragraph.

This Article (VI) shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII. INSURANCE
A. Throughout the life of this Agreement or to up to December 31, 2025, whichever comes first, CONSULTANT shall pay for and maintain in full force and effect all insurance as required in Exhibit B, which is incorporated into and part of this Agreement, with an insurance company(ies) either:

The required policies of insurance as stated in Exhibit B shall maintain limits of liability of not less than those amounts stated therein.

B. If at any time during the life of the Agreement or any extension, CONSULTANT or any of its subcontractors/sub-consultants fail to maintain any required insurance in full force and effect, all services and work under this Agreement shall be discontinued immediately, and all payments due or that become due to CONSULTANT shall be withheld until notice is received by CITY that the required insurance has been restored to full force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to CITY. Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for CITY to terminate this Agreement. No action taken by CITY pursuant to this Article (VII) shall in any way relieve CONSULTANT of its responsibilities under this Agreement. The phrase “fail to maintain any required insurance” shall include, without limitation, notification received by CITY that an insurer has commenced proceedings, or has had proceedings commenced against it, indicating that the insurer is insolvent.

C. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONSULTANT shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONSULTANT, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this

Agreement. The duty to indemnify CITY shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by CONSULTANT. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of CONSULTANT, its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of CONSULTANT, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants, subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.

D. If CONSULTANT should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be performed under this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall require each subcontractor/sub-consultant to provide insurance protection, as an additional insured, to the CITY and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers in accordance with the terms of this section, except that any required certificates and applicable endorsements shall be on file with CONSULTANT and CITY prior to the commencement of any services by the subcontractor. CONSULTANT and any subcontractor/sub-consultant shall establish additional insured status for CITY, its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers.

ARTICLE VIII. CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND NON-SOLICITATION A. Prior to CITY’S execution of this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall complete a City of Grover Beach Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement in the form as set forth in Exhibit C. During the term of this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall have the obligation and duty to immediately notify CITY in writing of any change to the information provided by CONSULTANT in such statement.

B. CONSULTANT shall comply, and require its subcontractors to comply, with all applicable (i) Professional canons and requirements governing avoidance of impermissible client conflicts; and
(ii) Federal, state and local conflict of interest laws and regulations including, without limitation, California Government Code Section 1090 et. seq., the California Political Reform Act (California Government Code Section 87100 et. seq.), and the regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission concerning disclosure and disqualification (2 California Code of Regulations Section 18700 et. seq.).

At any time, upon written request of CITY, CONSULTANT shall provide a written opinion of its legal counsel and that of any subcontractor that, after a due diligent inquiry, CONSULTANT and the respective subcontractor(s) are in full compliance with all laws and regulations. CONSULTANT shall take, and require its subcontractors to take, reasonable steps to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest. Upon discovery of any facts giving rise to the appearance of a conflict of interest, CONSULTANT shall immediately notify CITY of these facts in writing.

C. In performing the work or services to be provided hereunder, CONSULTANT shall not employ or retain the services of any person while such person either is employed by CITY or is a member of any CITY council, commission, board, committee, or similar CITY body. This requirement may be waived in writing by the City Manager, if no actual or potential conflict is involved.

D. CONSULTANT represents and warrants that it has not paid or agreed to pay any compensation, contingent or otherwise, direct or indirect, to solicit or procure this Agreement or any rights/benefits hereunder.

E. Neither CONSULTANT, nor any of CONSULTANT’S subcontractors performing any services on this Project, shall bid for, assist anyone in the preparation of a bid for, or perform any services pursuant to, any other contract in connection with this Project. CONSULTANT and any of its subcontractors shall have no interest, direct or indirect, in any other contract with a third party in connection with this Project unless such interest is in accordance with all applicable law and fully disclosed to and approved by the City Manager, in advance and in writing.

F. If CONSULTANT should subcontract all or any portion of the work to be performed or services to be provided under this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall include the provisions of this Article in each subcontract and require its subcontractors to comply therewith.

This Article (VIII) shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

CONSULTANT shall ensure that applicants are employed, and the employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender identification, status as a disabled veteran or veteran of the Vietnam era. Such requirement shall apply to CONSULTANT’S employment practices including, but not be limited to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship.

General liability insurance. CONSULTANT shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage.

Professional liability (errors & omissions) insurance. CONSULTANT shall maintain professional liability insurance that covers the Services to be performed in connection with this Agreement, in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. Any policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of this Agreement and Consultant agrees to maintain continuous coverage through a period no less than three (3) years after completion of the services required by this Agreement.

Workers’ compensation insurance. CONSULTANT shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Statutory Limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000).

Note: Workers' compensation and employer's liability insurance requirements may be eliminated for certain sole proprietorships, partnerships, or corporations without employees.

Consultant shall submit to CITY, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of CITY, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers.

Umbrella or excess liability insurance. CONSULTANT shall obtain and maintain an umbrella or excess liability insurance policy with limits that will provide bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability coverage at least as broad as the primary coverages set forth above, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability. Such policy or policies shall include the following terms and conditions:
• A drop down feature requiring the policy to respond if any primary insurance that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectible in whole or in part for any reason; • Pay on behalf of wording as opposed to reimbursement; • Concurrency of effective dates with primary policies; • Policies shall “follow form” to the underlying primary policies; and • Insureds under primary policies shall also be insureds under the umbrella or excess policies.

Other provisions or requirements
Proof of insurance. CONSULTANT shall provide certificates of insurance to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by CITY’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this contract. CITY reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.

Duration of coverage. CONSULTANT shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by CONSULTANT, his agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by CONSULTANT shall be primary and any insurance or selfinsurance procured or maintained by CITY shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance.

Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of CITY before the CITY’S own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

CITY’S rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by CONSULTANT or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this Agreement.

Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VI (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the CITY’S Risk Manager.

Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow CONSULTANT or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. CONSULTANT hereby waives its own right of recovery against CITY, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). CONSULTANT acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the CITY to inform CONSULTANT of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the CITY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher

limits maintained by the CONSULTANT. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the CITY.

Notice of cancellation. CONSULTANT agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to CITY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that CITY and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing.

Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any crossliability exclusions.

Pass through clause. CONSULTANT agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by CONSULTANT, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of CONSULTANT.

CONSULTANT agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. CONSULTANT agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to CITY for review.

CITY’s right to revise specifications. The CITY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONSULTANT ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the CONSULTANT, the CITY and Consultant may renegotiate CONSULTANT’S compensation.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. CITY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by CITY.

Timely notice of claims. CONSULTANT shall give CITY prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from CONSULTANT’S performance under this AGREEMENT, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. CONSULTANT shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.

Agenda Item No. 7

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: February 24, 2024 FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Megan Martin, Community Development Director Kyle Bell, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Introduction and First Reading of an Amendment to Ordinance No. 24- 08 to update Grover Beach Municipal Code Article IX (Development Code) Chapter 2 (Zones and Allowable Land Uses), Section 3.10.062 (Edge Conditions), Section 4.10.015 (Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU)), Chapter 8.170 (Urban Subdivision Lots), and Chapter 9 (Definitions); and amendment to Resolution No. 24-50 to incorporate the proposed revisions to the Development Code to the City’s Local Coastal Program (LCP).

RECOMMENDATION
1) Introduce, by title only, the first reading of an amendment to Ordinance No. 24-08 to update Municipal Code Article IX (Development Code) Chapter 2 (Zones and Allowable Land Uses), Section 3.10.062 (edge conditions), Section 4.10.015 (Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU)), Chapter 8.170 (Urban Subdivision Lots), and Chapter 9 (Definitions) to ensure compliance with recent changes to State ADU law, as required by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD); and 2) Adopt an amendment to Resolution No. 24-50 to incorporate the proposed revisions to the Development Code to the City’s Local Coastal Program (LCP); and 3) Schedule a public hearing and second reading to adopt the amended Ordinance and amended Resolution approving a Local Coastal Program Amendment at the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting.

BACKGROUND
On September 9, 2024, the City Council (Council) adopted an update to certain chapters of its Development Code (Ordinance No. 24-08), including revisions to the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) regulations and Urban Subdivision Lots standards. These changes were necessary to align the City’s ADU regulations with State ADU law, reduce and/or remove development barriers, ensure compliance with SB 1123, and complete general clean-up and clarifications to provide consistency through the Development Code.

Because a portion of the City is located within the Coastal Zone, any amendments to the Development Code require review and certification by the California Coastal Commission. To ensure concurrence on the proposed changes, City staff coordinated with Coastal Commission staff throughout the amendment process. However, just before the September 9, 2024 Council meeting, Coastal Commission staff informed City staff of a new partnership with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for reviewing all Local Coastal Program (LCP) amendments related to Senate Bill 9 and ADU ordinances. As a result, Coastal Commission and City staff delayed submission of the LCP amendment to the Coastal Staff Report: Introduction and First Reading of ADU Ordinance Amendments Page 2 February 24, 2025
Commission and forwarded the locally adopted ADU Ordinance to HCD for review and comment on September 12, 2024, as part of this new collaborative process.

On December 24, 2024, HCD provided a “flyover” review (Attachment 3) of the City’s ADU Ordinance. City staff met with an HCD senior housing policy specialist to address the review comments. The comments were constructive and provided further clarification on how the City’s ordinance aligned with the State’s ADU law. These comments have been incorporated into the amended ordinance and resolution (Attachment 1, Attachment 2, respectively).

The proposed amendments to the City's Development Code and LCP are critical to ensuring the City is in compliance with the latest State laws related to ADUs. These changes also support the City's efforts to align with the California Coastal Act (Coastal Act) and will help streamline the process for future development of ADUs and other related housing initiatives.

Proposed Changes
The proposed amendments to Ordinance 24-08 include updates to the following sections of the City’s Development Code:
• Chapter 2 – Zones and Allowable Land Uses
• Section 3.10.062 – Edge Conditions
• Section 4.10.015 – Accessory Dwelling Units
• Chapter 8 – Urban Lot Subdivisions
• Chapter 9 – Definitions
Though a majority of these changes are minor in nature, a few changes are mandatory for the City to have a compliant ADU ordinance consistent with State ADU law as required by HCD. • Section 2.40.030, Table 2.6 (Industrial Zones Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements), permits ADUs as accessory uses to other residential dwelling types within Industrial zones (e.g., Live/Work and Transitional and Supportive Housing). • Section 3.10.062.G, Table 3.2 (Edge Conditions Minimum Setbacks), clarifies that ADUs are subject to reduced setbacks. A note has been added to refer to the ADU Ordinance for compliance with setback requirements.
• Section 4.10.015.D.1 (Maximum Number) has been updated to allow for all three ADU options—JADU, Interior or Attached ADU, and one Detached ADU—per legal lot. • Following the adoption of SB 1211, which took effect on January 1, 2025, Section

4.10.015.E.1.b has been revised to permit the construction of up to eight detached ADUs on lots with existing multi-unit developments.
• Following the adoption of SB 684, the State adopted SB 1123 which took effect in January 2025. SB 1123 expands SB 684 to allow the bill to be used on vacant lots in single family zones (R1), creating more affordable homeownership opportunities in lower density neighborhoods. Staff has amended the Subdivision regulations to include R1 zoning within Section 8.170 – Urban Lot Subdivisions in compliance with SB 1123.

During review of the HCD “flyover” letter, HCD asserted that the Grover Beach Train Station (the Train Station) qualifies as a “Major Transit Stop” under Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21155, and, as a result, directed the City to increase the maximum height for detached ADUs.

This designation carries significant implications for housing density, CEQA streamlining, and local land use control.

Staff Report: Introduction and First Reading of ADU Ordinance Amendments Page 3 February 24, 2025
Staff recommend the Council amend the Development Code to align with HCD’s interpretation and allow a maximum height of 18 feet for detached ADUs, consistent with Government Code Section 66321(4)(B). By taking this approach, the City preserves its authority over broader land use decisions while proactively addressing housing needs in a way that is balanced and locally appropriate.
• Sections 4.10.015.D.5.b and 4.10.015.E.3.b (Maximum Height) have been amended to establish a 20-foot maximum height for detached ADUs, in compliance with Government Code Section 66321(4).

Additional responses to HCD’s comments have been provided for reference as Attachment 4 (City of Grover Beach HCD Comment Responses). Following the adoption of SB 1123, which will take effect after July 1, 2025, Chapter 8.170 (Urban Lot Subdivisions) has been revised to include standards for properties zoned for single-unit dwellings.

Staff would note that these changes are administrative and responsive to comments from HCD.

The amendment addresses compliance and consistency of interpretation with State ADU law and incorporates feedback received post-adoption, but it does not introduce new land use policies or development standards that would have otherwise required additional Planning Commission review. The Planning Commission’s role in recommending the ordinance was fulfilled prior to initial adoption, and this amendment reflects necessary adjustments to ensure the ordinance complies with State ADU law.

Coastal Commission and Local Coastal Program Amendment
The amendments would affect Chapters 2, 3, 4, and 9 of the Development Code (Article IX of the Municipal Code). Development Code Section 1.20.060 identifies all chapters and sections that constitute the ordinances for the implementation of the City’s LCP in compliance with the Coastal Act. Therefore, the proposed amendments to the Development Code require an LCP Amendment, which must be approved by the Coastal Commission before the Ordinance becomes effective in the Coastal Zone.

Staff have reviewed the proposed amendments with the policies in Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act and have determined that the Ordinance would have no effect on public access, recreation, environmentally sensitive habitat areas, or other coastal resources. The proposed ordinance would not change the kind, location, intensity, or density of uses west of Highway 1 because the development standards for this area are unchanged.

Next Steps
Following the first reading and introduction of the ordinance on February 24, 2025, the Council will conduct a public hearing and second reading to adopt the amendments on March 10, 2025.

Following adoption by Council, staff will forward the LCP amendment to the Coastal Commission.

The Coastal Commission’s review process will involve an evaluation of the ordinance to ensure it aligns with both State laws and the Coastal Act. The amended ordinance would become effective the day after Coastal Commission action. Any recommended changes by the Coastal Commission to the LCP amendments would require review and acknowledgment by the Council before the ordinance would be considered effective.

Staff Report: Introduction and First Reading of ADU Ordinance Amendments Page 4 February 24, 2025

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is not considered a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and CEQA Guidelines (Title 14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) Section 15378(b)(5) and is therefore exempt from CEQA because it will not result in any direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

ALTERNATIVES

City of Grover Beach Ordinance No. 24-08 Flyover
Reviewed by: David Barboza
The following comments reflect conflicts between current State ADU Laws and the ADU regulations found in the City of Grover Beach’s Ordinance No. 24-08. Where local ADU regulations conflict with State ADU Law without basis in any superseding laws, the City must amend the ADU Ordinance to bring the local regulations into compliance with State ADU Law. This flyover review represents a non-exhaustive list of conflicts to identify major inconsistences particularly due to recent State ADU Law updates.

Findings

1. Section 2.40.030, Table 2.61 allows some primary residential uses in the CI, CIC and I zones (e.g., live-work units). ADUs are allowed in these mixed-use zones as well, with a proposed or existing primary dwelling.2

2. Section 3.10.062.G, Table 3.2 requires minimum side and rear setbacks greater than four feet for mixed-use buildings on properties which abut residential properties. However, in the even that a mixed-use building contains an ADU, a side or rear yard setback greater than four feet may not be required for the ADU.3

3. Section 4.10.015.C.1 states: “Urban Lot Split. ADUs and JADUs shall be prohibited on properties associated with an Urban Lot Split (see Section 8.160) which also include Urban Dwelling Units (see Section 4.25.060), as described by Government Code Section 65852.21 (f).” However, if a property is created by an urban lot split and contains one primary dwelling unit, one ADU or one JADU may be added to reach to the two-unit cap which applies to such lots. 4 4. Section 4.10.015.D.1 states, with regard to lots with single-unit dwellings:
“Maximum Number. No more than one JADU and one ADU shall be allowed per legal lot.” However, Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a) requires local agencies to approve one conversion ADU, one JADU and one detached ADU on a lot in a residential or mixed-use zone with an existing or proposed single-family residence.5

5. Section 4.10.015.D.3.a.i states an interior ADU on a lot with a single-unit dwelling must be: “Within the space of an existing single-unit dwelling […]”. However, an 1 All references to sections listed first in each finding are to Ordinance No. 24-08, unless otherwise noted.

3 Gov. Code, §§ 66314, subd. (d)(7) & 66323, subds. (a)(2) & (a)(4). 4 Gov. Code, § 66411.7, subd. (j).
5 “Notwithstanding Sections 66314 to 66322, inclusive, a local agency shall ministerially approve an application for a building permit within a residential or mixed-use zone to create any of the following: […]”. Gov. Code, § 66323, subds. (a)(1) & (a)(2).
