5. CEREMONIAL CALENDAR
a. National Child Abuse Awareness & Prevention Month April 2022 – Proclamation Ms. Allison Wales, Associate Director, North County Rape Crisis & Child Protection Center and we’re also part of CAPC (Child Abuse Protection Council) was present and thanked the City and all people for the proclamation and for those in years past. She said, “Next year we hope to be coming back to offer pinwheels as we had been done in the past. We hope that next year, too, we’ll be stronger and able to provide more programs here in Guadalupe.”
Agenda Item No. 7C
April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 2 of 24 Ms. Wales further noted, “More than 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced sexual violence involving physical contact during their lifetimes. Sexual violence starts early. One in 3 female rape victims experienced it for the first time between 11-17 years of age and 1 in 8 reported that it occurred before age 10. Nearly 1 in 4 male rape victims experience it for the first time between 11- 17 years old and about 1 in 4 reported that it occurred before age 10.” Ms. Wales then ended her comments by reading a poem entitled “We Pray for Children” which highlighted the stark differences in the life of a child with and a child without a caring and loving family. The last part of that poem reads…’We pray for children who want to be carried and for those who must, for those who we never give up on and for those who don’t get a second chance. For those we smother with affection and for those who will grab the hand of anybody kind enough to offer it. We Pray’.
b. DMV Donate Life Month April 2022 – Proclamation
Mr. Scott Burns, Ambassador of Santa Barbara County, accepted the proclamation. He thanked Mayor Julian and the City Council. He gave some brief facts about organ donors and donations saying, “Here’s one useful fact: you are about three times more likely to be a patient in need of an organ that to be an organ donor. Also, according to a Gallup poll, about 90% of Americans said they supported or strongly supported the donation of organs for transplant, but only 55% had said they had registered as donors at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The oldest living kidney donor was 96 years old. The oldest deceased donor was 105 years old.” Mr. Burns also briefly told the story of his own kidney transplant back in 2015.
c. World War II Commemoration Week – Proclamation
Mr. John Ashbaugh accepted the proclamation and thanked the City and staff. He mentioned that the night prior the film, “Untold Triumphs” was shown at City Hall with about 70 people in attendance. Mr. Ashbaugh said, “People came from all over the Central Coast to watch that film. It can be found on You Tube. The story is about the 1st and 2nd Filipino regiments, most were organized right here on the Central Coast. Filipinos were called to form a separate unit to serve in WWII. What they expected was about 200 to form a battalion. About 7,000 Filipinos actually signed up and fully formed two (2) regiments and were sent to Australia. They were pulled out to fight with the Filipino gorillas already there. These men deserve our never-ending respect for what they did.” He said that Guadalupe is one of seven (7) cities on the Central Coast acknowledging ‘World War II Commemoration Week’.” Mr. Ashbaugh briefly mentioned that on April 30, 1942, Japanese Americans throughout the Central Coast were rounded up and brought to internment camps. He acknowledged Guadalupe’s very rich history citing the Royal Theatre which is now in the National Historical Registry, other preserved buildings, Dunes Center and Guadalupe Cultural Arts and Educational Center. He ended by saying, “I love Guadalupe and have a lot of good friends here.” d. Honoring Shirley Boydstun – Proclamation
Mayor Julian made a few brief comments prior to reading the proclamation honoring Ms. Shirley Boydstun. He said, “Many times as we go about living in Guadalupe, we don’t always take the time to recognize all the individuals who put in efforts that aren’t recognized by the general public. We’ve had the pleasure of this person’s work here in the community for many, many years. Jeannie Mello brought to our attention that there needs to recognition for somebody who’s really outstanding and April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 3 of 24 provided a lot of support and effort for the City of Guadalupe. I thank Jeannie Mello for bringing this to our attention. It’s very important that we do honor those who are under the radar here in Guadalupe.”
After the proclamation was read, Ms. Boydstun made some comments. She said, “I love this honor.
This was very thoughtful. I didn’t know my family was involved and the Historical Society girls are here. What a surprise. I’m going to keep the proclamation…it’ll be a good obituary. I plan to be around at least another year. 95 is my goal – that’s next year.” Shirley explained how volunteerism came to her saying, “This all came about through my parents’ influence. I grew up in the 30’s…real hard times around here. I remember going with the American Legion Auxiliary ladies taking flour, beans and rice to families who had nothing. That was the thing you did. You took care of your town. You took care of your people. That just stayed with me to add on here. Then in the 40’s, the Lions Club and Rotary Club took over helping people who needed help.
As GIs were returning from the war, bringing brides and people were moving west, there was a lot of building and growth. In 1945, I left Guadalupe for college but came back in 1993. I figured it was time to get involved again. I spent 10 years volunteering at the Police Department which was very interesting. Then around 1999-2000, there was the Historical Society, then the Dunes Center. The library opened at its new building, and I thought that was a good spot for me. Oh, I spent 16 years on the Cemetery Board.” She cited the Rotary Club’s Motto: “Service not Self”. She joked a bit saying that she isn’t “nosey”, just well informed.
Ms. Boydstun ended her comments saying, “The City Council has a very important decision tonight.
I ask you to think of the impact on the city and the citizens. Think of the whole city…the whole group of citizens, young and old. Not be pressured by friends or promises. And thank you, all. This is an honor…I really didn’t expect this…and especially, all of you involved. Thank you.”
6. COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION FORUM
George Alvarez: “I have some concerns. I’m a long-time resident. I’ve seen minimal good and bad.
There’s a lack of concern on the Council’s part. In front of Treasure Park…it’s an eyesore. Weed abatement? Is the staff so busy that can’t be done? Street sweeper. Haven’t seen the sweeper in weeks. I called Public Works to come and pick up a bag I had filled with dirt. Four (4) weeks have passed. Nobody has come to pick it up. In one year, we’ll have a review of Waste Management’s agreement. A 10-year agreement. City Council bailed out with the 10-year agreement and a 10- year street sweeper. This is coming up in July. Give residents a fair shake. Look at other companies for fair competition.”
Frances Romero: “All the proclamations were well done. I’m here for Shirley Boydstun. In 1997, there was a Treasure Sale. That was the catalyst to buy a home here. My husband was a Reserve Police Officer and later became full-time.” She also made some other general comments: “The 4th of July project will be here again. I commend putting in a sign ordinance. John Perry: very welcoming; his store was a museum. The art that’s on loan to the City has been here a long time and has moved around. Might be time to let it go. Thank you for what you’re doing. Items #13 and #14 are worthy of having all City council members here. Wait until they’re all here for a vote.” April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 4 of 24 Fernando Garcia: “…My name is Fernando Garcia, born and raised here in Guadalupe where I still live with my family. I am a member of the GFD (Guadalupe Fire Department) for nearly 30 years.
The reason I am here today is to speak about GFD leadership and how there has been misinformation about GFD and its members. You have been told strike teams do not make money, when, in fact, they do make money. You have been told that GFD members take advantage of overtime. How is this even possible? Our work schedule is a fire department work schedule providing service to the community 24/7. This schedule has been the same for nearly 15 years ow. GFD members take days off and those days need to be filled by qualified full-time members. All overtime is approved. There is not on GFD member that has worked overtime that was not approved. When the GFD Engineers were hired, funds were not properly budgeted as well as when the GFD MOU was agreed on. GFD is the lowest paid fire department within several surrounding counties. It has been implied that we could lose our jobs and have unqualified volunteer PCFs (Paid-Call Firefighters) take our positions.
This would be unacceptable to our citizens. All of this and more can be explained by a Fire Chief who knows and understands the Fire Department all that comes with it.
We have been negotiating our MOU for nearly a year now and it appears the last proposal given to us came from the Public Safety Director via the negotiation team from the City. This council has stated ‘we have great employees here and we need to do what we can to keep them here and not have them go to other cities.’ We totally agree with your comments, and we hope to have fair and honest negotiations. As we all know, inflation is at its highest in years and cutting for our already lowest salaries will be detrimental to us and our families.
In my time here, GFD has only had 3 Fire Chiefs, Hank Lawrence, Carmon Johnson, and Jack Owens.
In the last several years, we’ve had a Police Chief manage the department with no fire experience at all. This is not safe and practical. Can you ask yourself this: Why are plumbers not hired to be architects? Why are mechanics not hired to be dentists? Why? Because they’re not qualified and don’t understand the trade. There is no difference here. This is not personal but necessary for the department to grow and provide better service for the citizens that we serve. Thank you for your time and, as always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.” Rex Pritchard: “I am the 2nd District Vice-President for the California Professional Fighters which has 33,000 professional firefighters. I am imploring you to support your firefighters. The Police Chief said he’d take to a volunteer fire department. Public safety…your residents deserve response with professional firefighters. Make a policy decision that you will keep a professional fire department – not a volunteer department. It’s incumbent upon the City Council to give direction to staff to take a stance in front of residents to keep a professional fire department and having a Fire Chief who understands fire issues.”
Sean McMahan: “I’m the Union President, Local #4403, Five Cities Firefighters. Fifteen (15) years ago, Five Cities went career because a volunteer system doesn’t work. An all-risk fire department. I April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 5 of 24 respect volunteers, but you’re growing. You’re talking about getting rid of emergency medical services. That’s bad and will affect everyone in this town.” Ryan Mack: “Since 2018 Public Safety Director, Michael Cash, was hired as a cost saving measure by the Guadalupe City Council in lieu of hiring a real Fire Chief. Since then, the Fire Department personnel numbers have been declining as well as morale. The director has proven unable to manage both the Police and Fire Departments and blames us, the Firefighters for his budget issues and lack of revenue despite being a public service. Under this leadership staff has been subject to department-wide investigations as retaliation for defying his objectives. Actions include suspension from work simply for calling in sick, or disciplines for simple accidents like running over a traffic cone.
It has become readily clear that, with the help of Human Resources Director, Emiko Gerber, his true intention is to dismantle the Fire Department, one employee at a time. His actions have left every staff member subject to micromanagement, training is nearly non-existent, administrative leaves, harassment, retaliation, and the firefighters living in a hostile work environment.
Here are six highlights of our argument:
1. The Director hired his personal mentee for a position that did not need to exist and could have been completed by a qualified Fire Chief.
2. Complicit with breaking of HIPPA regulations.
3. Handed out unfounded disciplines/punishments to Fire Department and Police staff in an attempt to discredit and pacify anyone who would question his tactics.
4. Has secretly been orchestrating the dissolution of the Fire Department including MOU consultation in order to undermine his Fire employees and their salaries.
5. Misrepresented the department regarding strike teams making money to the City Council, despite reports/revenues brought in that prove otherwise.
6. Denied training to entire department, free or not, stating, ‘Training is a reward for good behavior, not a right.’
Due to these reasons, the Firefighters of the City of Guadalupe Fire Department vote NO in Confidence for PSD Michael Cash, and humbly request a qualified replacement to run the Fire Department. The public deserves a Fire Department and a real Fire Chief.”
7. CONSENT CALENDAR
The following items are presented for City Council approval without discussion as a single agenda item in order to expedite the meeting. Should a Council Member wish to discuss or disapprove an item, it must be dropped from the blanket motion of approval and considered as a separate item.

Striping will go in our 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation project of Obispo Street. Striping will be done. It’s too big a job for our staff. Also, on June 13th, construction is scheduled to begin on the W. Main Street waterline, which is an upgrade of a 4-inch water main on West Main Street from Guadalupe to Pioneer Street to 12- inch.”

10. MAYOR’S REPORT- UPDATES
Prior to addressing the Mayor’s Report, Mayor Julian said, “Although a motion had already been made and approved, I want to go back to the Consent Calendar, Item #7. G. Los Amigos de Guadalupe. Is there someone here from Los Amigos who wants to speak on anything?” Ms.
Alejandra Medina was present and said, “Los Amigos has started ‘Coffee for Seniors’ at the Senior Center. We received $1.7M for Phase II at Le Roy Park. On June 12th, there will be a re-opening of Le Roy Park beginning at 1:00 p.m. with a barbecue served at 2:00 p.m. Tom Brandeberry will be here for that. But I am now handling the day-to-day as Executive Director. Tom will exit in June.” The mayor commented that there are various groups, such as the Boys & Girls Club, Allan Hancock College, who are looking to use the Community Center at Le Roy Park. He said that they are going through agreements with these groups.
PUBLIC HEARING
11. Public Hearing to consider 2022-023-PA, a use determination for Childcare Facilities within the General Commercial (G-C) Zone District.
Written report: Larry Appel, Contract Planning Director Recommendation: That the City Council:
a. Receive a presentation from staff; and
b. Conduct a public hearing, including: 1) an opportunity for the applicant to speak, 2) receive any comments from the public.
Mr. Appel briefly explained that a request was made for a zoning determination for a childcare (child center) facility. The existing zoning ordinance is nearly silent regarding childcare. The zoning ordinance only identifies small family facilities that allow less than six or 7-12 per facility within a family home. Staff believes that the zoning ordinance should be flexible and allow large childcare facilities within the City. The recommendation is for the City Council to find that large commercial childcare facilities in the General Commercial (G-C) district are similar in use and consistent with the purpose of the zoning district, provided the facility is approved with a conditional use permit (CUP).
At this point, Mr. Appel introduced Ms. Elizabeth Dawson, CEO of Casa dei Bambini, Inc., a business that has provided childcare in Santa Maria. Ms. Dawson explained, “For the past 14 years I have provided childcare, first starting in my home on Spear Street. We then moved to a Lutheran church in its educational building. Right now, there’s a waiting list. Our childcare center is Montessori inspired. It’s outdoor classrooms…dual immersion, English & Spanish.” April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 8 of 24 Ms. Dawson went on to say, “In 2019 we applied for state funding and received an award, appropriate for infants and toddlers. There are 7,500 childcare deficits documented. We’ve received 116 additional slots, and we’re looking at 80 of those slots for Guadalupe. This would be for middle income families. A family of four would have a co-pay of $500 per month. The monthly costs could be anywhere from $1400 to $2700. We have to be operational by July 1st. COVID has backed us up a bit. I have been in contact with Mari at the school district.” The mayor questioned “teacher to child ratio”. Ms. Dawson said that for infants, it’s 1 to 3; for 12 mos.-18 mos., it’s 1 to 4, and for ages 2-3 years, the ratio is 1 to 6. She also mentioned that the property in question is located at 4575 10th Street.
CM Cardenas asked, “This childcare is targeted toward middle class families?” Ms. Dawson said, “Yes, a family of four with an income of $32,000 would get free childcare. CM Cardenas asked what the operational hours would be. Ms. Dawson said that in Santa Maria, their hours are 6:45 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Here in Guadalupe, she’s looking at 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The mayor asked what the capacity is. Ms. Dawson said, “We’re hoping for 75 children, but there’d be a maximum of 80 children.” CM Robles asked if there are currently rooms available at that location. Ms. Dawson said, “There is a yoga studio that could be used for 2–3-year-olds. Some walls need to be taken down but there won’t be a lot of extensive work needed.” Mayor Julian asked about a play area. Ms. Dawson said that would be in the middle courtyard area.
Public Hearing opened at 7:19 p.m. and closed at 7:20 p.m. CM Cardenas asked what type of advertising was being used. Ms. Dawson said that she’s using their Facebook page, school district, flyers, their website, “santamariapreschool.com”, etc. CM Cardenas gave her some suggestions, such as the “Little House at the Park” being a good means of advertising.
Motion was made by Council Member Cardenas and seconded by Mayor Julian to agree with the recommendation to find that the large commercial childcare facilities in the General Commercial (G-C) district are similar in use and consistent with the purpose of the zoning district, provided the facility is approved with a conditional use permit (CUP). 3-0 Absent: Ramirez and Costa, Jr.
Motion passed.
12. Public Hearing, introduction and first reading of Ordinance No. 2022-500 to repeal the existing sign ordinance (Sections 18.52.140-18.52.160) and add Chapter 18.51 (Signs).
Written report: Larry Appel, Contract Planning Director Recommendation: That the City Council:
a) Receive a presentation from staff; and
b) Conduct a public hearing and introduce by title only and waive first reading of Ordinance No. 2022-500 deleting Section 18.52.140-18.52.160 and adding Chapter 18.51 of the Municipal Code; and
c) Continue to May 10, 2022 for second reading and adoption.
April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 9 of 24 Mr. Appel gave some background on the current sign ordinance. He said, “The current sign ordinance has been in use since 1980 with one amendment only in 2016. It’s been hard to explain to a developer why they can or can’t do something when it comes to signs. There’s nothing specific in the ordinance now. No definitions identifying types of signs and no list of prohibited signs. If these changes to the ordinance are adopted, it will make things a lot easier for staff. People Self-Help and the County Housing Authority had to come to a City Council meeting for approval. About 95% under the new program will be approved by City staff.”
Mr. Appel then talked about the current vs. revised language in the ordinance. There are 40 definitions to show what’s approvable. He went through the General Requirements section of the ordinance, citing that most signs could be approved at the Director or staff level with a Zoning Clearance for Signs application. He then went on talking about “Sign Standards”. He mentioned temporary signs and banners, especially political signs. Those signs, he said, stay up from June through the November election. Temporary signs would be those that have 2–30-day segments to have sign/banner up. Mr. Appel said, “I failed to put in the ordinance that for political banners, there is no fee. We just want to know where those signs/banners will be posted.” The next segment he talked about was “Administration”. Mr. Appel said, “Application fees are $135 for a minor sign and a $600 deposit for a major sign. The applicant will receive a written decision approving or denying the application within 30 calendar days of the complete application date. ‘Findings’ have been added which allows the Director or staff to approve (or deny) more than one sign. They include: 2) comply with development standards; b) compatible with building structure; c) consistent with General Plan and Muni Code, and d) the proposed design, character to enhance the City’s appearance.”
Mr. Appel then went on to discuss four (4) sections that would help staff enforce the ordinance: 1) Hazardous Signs; 2) Construction of Signs; 3) Nonconforming Signs, and 4) Exempt Signs. The City Council will decide the duration of a sign. Mr. Appel suggested about five (5) years. If it goes beyond that timeframe, an Administrative Use Permit (AUP) would be needed. Exempt Signs, like flags, devises that are erected by a public/government agency, posted by law or government rule.
Prohibited Signs: Best recommendation is that if they are allowed, they can be proliferated in the community. The most significant of these signs include pole signs, roof signs, bow/feather signs and sandwich board signs. In small store fronts, 30’ could be 30 square feet of signage. Mr. Appel stated that this draft ordinance allows for painted advertising signs where the business name is designed into the sign. He did recommend that the City Council come back and consider a mural committee that would approve or deny with recommendation to the City Council for final approval.
Three (3) things to consider: 1) Getting agreement on prohibited signs; 2) Sunset clause – now 5 years, and 3) Direction on mural ordinance.
April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 10 of 24 In an email dated 4/20/22 from the GBA (Guadalupe Business Association), 1) vinyl-ok (usually for temporary banner…); 2) vintage signs (projected signs – ok), and 3) grace period for non-conforming – ok.
City Attorney Sinco added, “Larry is correct. Change is required in Ordinance 18.51.07, Section A.5. on zoning clearance. Delete ‘and accompanied by the required fee established by City Council resolution (if any).’”
Mr. Appel then said, “The ordinance has to apply to all signs. Can’t discriminate. Content neutral.” Public Hearing Opened at 7:44 p.m. An individual spoke on a subject unrelated to this sign ordinance. Comments were made on residential areas on Guadalupe Street and being ticketed for parking on the street when residents don’t have garages. Chief Cash stated that at the next City Council meeting he would address this issue. Public Hearing Closed at 7:45 p.m.
CM Cardenas asked, “Prohibited signs. Do those have any grace period or is there an automatic refusal?” City Attorney Sinco answered, “Immediately…illegal. Nonconforming signs are different.
At least 45 days’ notice.”
Mayor Julian said, “Murals. We need to establish a system of approval.” CM Robles then said, “Location and content of murals. For a committee?” Mr. Appel said, “Get GBA, public input, etc.” CM Cardenas also agreed there should be some committee for murals.
The mayor asked, “No vinyls?” CM Cardenas asked, “Vinyl? Like the sign at the meat market?” Mr.
Appel said, “Vinyl signs are temporary. They’d qualify for a temporary permit but would be taken down for something permanent.”
City Attorney Sinco added, “We’ll get complaints from businesses. They’ll say that it’s expensive for signs. We could consider some provision for businesses that are brand new, beyond the four (4) months now. Maybe could expand to six (6) months as a suggestion.
Mayor Julian said, “Sunset? Okay for five (5) years.” CM Cardenas said, “No for sandwich boards and bow/feather signs?” Mr. Appel then said, “Cal Trans could come by and take those bow/feather signs for public safety. Maximum of 25% of window space covered with signage. We’ll work with Code Compliance and go shop-by-shop.”
CM Cardenas said that education is needed to inform our businesses. Mr. Appel said, “In Santa Maria, Code Compliance, we went to businesses by quadrants and talked about signage, compliance – highlight sections from the ordinance.” CM Cardenas said that this could be discussed during any of GBA’s meetings and during the micro-enterprise classes for outlets.” City Attorney Sinco summarized, “18.51.05, Standards by Sign Type D. Temporary Sign/Banner 4.
Permitted Time – 12 months within display. Temporary zoning clearance for signs may be renewed… April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 11 of 24 ‘may be obtained for new businesses to allow temporary sign to be used longer providing business license is approved.’ Also, for temporary signs, six (6) months to get own business sign; wouldn’t want to go longer. (City Council agreed.) The second reading will include these additions/changes plus the no fees strike out.” CM Robles said, “There’s a lot to do. I have no problem with the first reading here.”
Motion was made by Council Member Cardenas and seconded by Council Member Robles to accept first reading with strike out on 18.51.07 and addition of six (6) months for new businesses to have temporary signs. Roll Call: Ayes: 3 Noes: 0 Absent: Ramirez and Costa, Jr. Motion passed.
REGULAR BUSINESS
13. Goal Setting Process.
Written report: Robert Perrault, Facilitator
Recommendation: That the City Council review the approach for the setting of goals to guide the development of the FY 2022-23 Budget and approve the report / provide staff and the facilitator with direction.
Mr. Perrault made some brief comments regarding the process of goal setting. He said, “The staff report basically spells out the process. In previous years, goal setting process was used with some success. Goal setting provides staff with direction to complete the budget process.
Documents are living documents and should be reviewed at least quarterly. Goals should be broad but measurable. There are three (3) components: 1) major goals; 2) other important goals, and 3) goals that should be completed as resources are available.” He also said that the previous goals could be used as a base from which to start. He then gave an example of a prior goal, Economic Development and went through an implementation plan to reach a goal for that topic.
Mr. Perrault then said, “It’s typical that the City Council wants to answer all needs of the community.
But that really is not possible. Evaluate if resources are available to carry out goals. Have a community meeting…get their input into goal setting. Use social media. I’m recommending a ‘Background Workshop’ on Wednesday, May 11th, where both the Council and the community can get input from staff on the current status of the City. The public will be asked for their comments, as well. From there each council member will develop and list out 3-5 goal proposals and send to Todd Bodem and me by Friday, May 20th. Todd and I will review the lists and goals, combine goals, if similar and compile another list to be reviewed and rated by the Council at the final Goal Setting Workshop. I’d recommend that final workshop to be on Tuesday, May 31st. There we’ll have a rating scale and priorities will be shown on these proposed goals. Votes will be taken and tabulated with the results in the form of a proposed Goal Statement List returned to the Council for final review and to direct staff to schedule adoption at the next regular City Council meeting.” Mayor Julian said, “You’re really getting into the weeds…other goals. I like that. I appreciate the community participation piece. This is a great pattern to follow.” April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 12 of 24 CM Cardenas said, “I really like this process. I also appreciated the interviews we had with you. I saw in the staff report a list of ‘Approved City-Wide Goals FY 19-20, FY 20-21.’ But I don’t remember that presentation.” Mr. Bodem said that those goals were never brought to the City Council for adoption. CM Cardenas added, “This will be beneficial…looking at all of our resources.” Mayor Julian then said, “This will be really good for the budget process.” Mr. Bodem asked, “Are you satisfied with the dates that Bob presented?” Mr. Perrault said, “May 11th would be the first meeting. That would be about two (2) hours.” Ms. Fuentes, Recreation Services Manager, said, “The Recreation Commission is scheduled on May 11th, but it can be moved to another date. We’ll call a special meeting on another date.” Mr. Perrault then said that the final meeting date is May 31st, a non-City Council meeting night. City Attorney Sinco added, “Technically, the Recreation Commission meeting has to happen. I have to figure out how to make this change.” No motion was required. Council gave direction to staff.
A brief break was taken prior to discussing Item #14. Meeting resumed at 8:07 p.m.
14. Selection of Second Commercial Cannabis Business Permit Applicant – Retail.
Written report: Todd Bodem, City Administrator
Recommendation: That the City Council:
a) Receive a presentation from staff;
b) Receive a presentation from the Roots Dispensary and Element 7; c) Receive public comment;
d) Select one of these two commercial cannabis business permit applicants to be awarded a CCB permit (subject to obtaining a conditional use permit first); or e) Continue deliberations on these two CCB permit applicants to a future meeting; and f) Provide direction concerning the unselected CCB permit applicants.
Mr. Bodem explained that in the April 12, 2022 City Council meeting, the Council had agreed on selection of two (2) retail cannabis stores. One retail store, Root One, was selected by the Council to continue on with the process and obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The Council decided to have two (2) of the remaining four (4) CCB applicants return to another City Council meeting presenting additional information on ‘Community Benefits’ and ‘Neighborhood Compatibility’. The two (2) CCB applicants asked to return were The Roots Dispensary and Element 7. The other two (2) CCB applicants not asked to return to another meeting were not rejected but rather were put on the backburner.

Two key focuses: 1) investing in college; partnering with Allan Hancock College with the Promise Program – 250 youths from Guadalupe; 25% earned more with higher education, and 2) help lower income families with the tax credit; social justice; federal benefits - $100,000+ which will have a profound impact on the Guadalupe community.”
CM Cardenas asked, “Are the two (2) programs direct, in-kind?” Mr. Armendariz said, “Direct financial donations. Part of the 2% donations.” CM Robles then said, “2% of gross revenues” CM Cardenas said, “Location? 873 Guadalupe Street – Challenger Harvest old location? Or is it 813 Guadalupe Street?” Mr. Armendariz said, “813 Guadalupe Street.” Element 7
Josh Black, Chief Marketing Officer, introduced Amber Norwood, Chief Compliance Officer, Greg Moreno, Head of Community Outreach and Engagement, and Lupe Alvarez, Co-Founder and Owner.

Ms. Norwood spoke saying, “100% of the hiring will be from the local community. $19.50 hourly starting wage. We promote from within with continuous learning benefits. All employees are required to perform 20 hours of community service.” Mr. Moreno interjected, “That’s a good fit to work with the football team here, the Food Bank and other non-profits they can engage with.” Mr. Alvarez then spoke. He said, “Seems you need more information on myself. I was 10 years as Mayor. I raised half a million dollars for the church parish improvement committee. Helped fixing up the Senior Center. Applied for grants. Pro bono. Worked with Tom Brandeberry and the Housing Authority. Food Bank-I’m there 70-80% of the time. I’ve donated over $24,000 in stipends to the Boys & Girls club. Cleaned up graffiti all over town. Helped improve Guadalupe’s image. Served with Mayor Julian and make improvements in the community. I was the first chair from Guadalupe for SBCAG. I care about the community; I give 100% to help families – give money for what they need. Element 7 is the optimal choice with a local voice in the community. We’re not corporate cannabis; we’re local…we don’t sell licenses.”
CM Cardenas asked about the response team. Mr. Black said that that would be Greg Moreno and Lupe Alvarez.
CM Robles asked about Element 7 other locations. Mr. Black said, “Fort Bragg, South San Francisco, Rio Dell, Pt. Hueneme. We’ll open six (6) more retail stores in Chula Vista, Willets, Mendota and West Hollywood. We’ll have a total of 11 sites.”
The meeting was then turned over to the 10 who requested to speak.
Alex Orozco
I’m a member of The Roots Dispensary and a member of the community. We’re here for longevity and stability. Gross receipts = support tax ordinance (5%-10% industry standard). We have a proven track record. Element 7 said 4% in lieu of tax. Not here to buy licenses. There are no legal issues.
We know what it is to succeed. Not everyone succeeds in underprivileged communities. We bring in products that fit our budget. We deliver to other cities. We bring stability to the community.
Thomas Caserez
April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 16 of 24 I’m a member of The Roots Dispensary in Lompoc. This is the best choice because of the opportunities. In 2019, I was a budmeister. Now I’m a general manager in Lompoc. Promotions from within. Roots Dispensary can bring pride to Guadalupe. I’m proud to work at the Roots Dispensary. It’s ‘David taking on Goliath’.
Deek Segovia
I’m a member of Chapter 982 of the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA). I’m here in support of Element 7. I’ve worked with them at the Food Bank, at the park and other places. That’s what I based my choice on. They’re hiring from Guadalupe. Element 7 – there’s a natural feel for us.
Chapter 982 has a roster of 200 members – aged members. They’ll make things better for our veterans having dispensaries here. They may well have better options for us – not opioids.
Junie (John) Sabedra
I’m a former City Council Member and was on the Council when Lupe (Alvarez) was mayor. Lupe’s always been an honest man. He started the Chevron donations for the Fire Department. Started the idea to get new lights for Guadalupe Street. He donates all the turkeys for the American Legion Thanksgiving dinners. I support Element 7 as they will do the best job for Guadalupe.
George Alvarez
I have a strong background against drugs and alcohol. I was on the Santa Barbara County Drug and Alcohol Board. Never liked the idea of having dispensaries. But why can’t we just have one (1) retail store? One said they’d sell license to another group. Mayor of San Luis Obispo – corruption. Money influences turn for the wrong reasons. Why didn’t we do background checks on all of them? Element 7 has a lawsuit against them. We have an ex-mayor who is part of this. It embarrasses the City.
Two (2) of the council members aren’t here. Delay the decision tonight and do more research.
Angelique Meza
I’m representing my husband now. We are Santa Maria residents. I want to express my gratitude to The Roots Dispensary. They’re a wonderful company.
Enrique Ortiz
I’m the President of the Guadalupe Bulldogs, youth football league. I’m in support of Element 7. I’m a life-long resident of Guadalupe. Residents support Element7. I’ve been working with Lupe for many years. You’ve seen what he’s done. Please consider Element 7.
Javier Solis
April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 17 of 24 813 Guadalupe Street. I am a 20-year resident. The economic value can’t be understated. In 2019 I was at UC Irvine and worked in Orange County. Then at the Roots Dispensary for two (2) years and now I work elsewhere. The Roots Dispensary is a team with intimate knowledge of the community.
There’s no corporate ladder. They hire local talent. A steppingstone for their employees. I urge the City Council to select 813 Guadalupe Street.
Custodio V. Campos IV
The Roots Dispensary. I’m a student at Santa Barbara City College. The Roots Dispensary is imperative to the growth of the community. They’re looking to make changes locally. They sell from the best reputable processing companies. Good quality vs bad quality. I hope to work alongside them. It’s an up-and-coming industry. I will not stop showing my peers the benefits of this product.
Debbie Costallie
I’m from Lompoc and am here in support of The Roots Dispensary. They support youth groups.
They’re here to help build the community.
The following are emails/letters sent to the City on this item:
Victor Morales
To the City of Guadalupe: Hello, my name is Victor Morales, a Lompoc local. I lived here in Lompoc nearly all of my life and have seen all the way the cannabis industry makes its impact positively.
Starting with The Roots, specifically, has been one of the biggest role models for new coming businesses here in Lompoc. I’ve always noticed other shops following The Roots on how they set up their displays, keep track of transactions, promotions, and inventory. It’s no surprise if you ever get to see their amazing set up. I truly am greatly grateful to have such a caring shop who really does do the most for its people while building communities at the same time. The Roots truly is a local owned business who will make a difference in your town. One thing I’d love to add is their commitment to make the City of Lompoc a better city in every way.
Monte Jackson
To the City of Guadalupe: My name is Monte Jackson. I am 30 years old, and I have been a resident of Santa Barbara County all of my life. I am writing this letter in support of Luis Castaneda and The Roots Dispensary opening a branch in Guadalupe. We have worked closely together many times doing volunteer work in the community.
The Roots opened their doors September in 2019 in Lompoc and have done so much for our community in that short period of time. They weren’t only focused on their own success but rather the success of our community as a whole. They were out at local parks picking up trash, providing April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 18 of 24 refreshments for local events, organizing peace gatherings, sponsoring our youth in activities, feeding the field workers and providing a place for local fundraisers.
I held several fundraisers at The Roots. Luis and all of his associates always made us feel so welcomed. Not only did they let me host fundraisers at The Roots, but they also participated to ensure the fundraisers would be successful. I reach out to Luis often to help with events or fundraisers, and he has ever hesitated to help those in need.
The Roots has been a great asset to Lompoc and the perfect representation of what a local business can contribute to a community. I think The Roots would be a great asset to the City of Guadalupe as well by creating jobs, bringing in revenue from their loyal clientele and creating a support system for Guadalupe. Thank you for your time and consideration Sincerely, Monte Jackson DeVika Stalling
As The Lompoc Valley Chambers of Commerce CEO, I am submitting this letter in strong support of The Roots Dispensary’s application to open and operate a cannabis dispensary in the Guadalupe community. Our community has been blessed by their organization, and I feel strongly that The Roots Dispensary is best suited to run this type of organization in Guadalupe.
I have seen that The Roots Dispensary’s owners & team has worked hard to consult and engage with community members in Lompoc. I have had the privilege to work with them directly on many community endeavors, the organization’s owners, and firmly believe that Mr. Castaneda and his team would be able to responsibly and successfully operate a Registered Cannabis Dispensary in your fine city. As a former School Committee member & former Director of our local Boys & girls Club, I am very impressed by their commitment for community outreach & support, educational and youth initiatives. All of which are important to me. They have worked well with local stakeholders in the public and private sector in the Lompoc community.
They have met with me and other Lompoc City officials, to ensure transparency of their organization in Lompoc and more importantly, they are willing to educate all who are impacted by the industry.
Mr. Casteneda serves on The Chamber Board of Directors as well The Economic Development Committee and has strong community ties to Lompoc and the surrounding areas. The owners live and work in the area and have “skin in the game”, especially when it comes to economic development and quality of life here.
I appreciate you taking the time to review my thoughts on their application. If you need any additional information from me, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, DeVika Stalling, President/CEO Lompoc Valley Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau Vilay Saikeo
April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 19 of 24 To Whom It May Concern: I am a long-time resident of Lompoc, and it is my pleasure to write and express my full support of The Roots, Guadalupe Dispensary.
I understand that there may be some concerns in the community regarding the decision to open a dispensary, but I have full confidence and support in the opening of The Roots Guadalupe because I am aware and understanding of all the opportunities The Roots will offer the community and give back to Guadalupe in so many ways.
I have personally worked alongside The Roots, as well as other local businesses, in an annual fundraiser that gives to our local Food Pantry. We have collectively raised over tens of thousands of dollars each year. This is just one of the reasons I admire Luis, and his fellow team members for their generous offers and endless blessings.
In conclusion, I hope the City Council of the City of Guadalupe looks at the bigger picture of the evolution of having a local dispensary that will allow economic growth as well as more job opportunities for the town.
I am honored and grateful for all The Roots has done and to witness and be a part the many blessings they have brought to our town in Lompoc. I feel confident they will do the most for your City of Guadalupe as well. I am excited and hopeful at the thought of The Roots Guadalupe opening in your community! I look forward to hearing about this endeavor. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Vilay Saikeo, Owner/Founder of Savory & Sweet Eats Lompoc, CA Roberto Rodriguez
To Whom It May Concern: Guadalupe Alvarez has been a loyal supporter of the Boys & Girls Club for over 20 years. Lupe has contributed to our organization with time, talent and treasure. Lupe participated in the Kids Night Out committee which pairs a youth with a local adult for a night of mentoring. Lupe always volunteered to be the bike donor for over 50 bikes over those 20+ years. He has also supported our annual campaign; his donations have helped us keep our cost to members at a minimum over the years. Lupe has helped us serve youth and make a greater impact in the Guadalupe community. Lupe continues to support our clubs today with his time, talent and treasure.
Sincerely, Robert Rodriguez, Chief Operations & Accountability Officer The discussion then went back to the Council. Mayor Julian said, “We’ve had numerous presentations about the cannabis industry. There were binders with many documents from the five (5) retail dispensary applicants. The Council agreed that two (2) would be selected. We have decision capabilities now, even with two (2) council members out. I’d like to open this up for discussion.”
CM Robles said, “All five (5) applicants – difficult. We passed the first one which was a good decision Vote was 4-0. It’s about the best fit. I’d want to hear more from the other council members.” April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 20 of 24 CM Cardenas then offered her comments saying, “It’s difficult. One is more well established. One has a track record in local communities.”
Mayor Julian said, “Chief Cash, Todd and I visited The Roots Dispensary. That’s where we met Javier Solis, an outstanding young man…all who spoke tonight. It’s a difficult decision – sets the tone for the future. The area of ‘Community Benefits’ has 500 points out of the 2500 total points. Both applicants would meet community benefits. I looked at location. One is further down Guadalupe Street. One is in the middle. ‘Blind Lady of Justice’ – what carries the most weight? Community benefit-side. Element 7 has beyond what The Roots Dispensary has. Out and about to support community - Element 7.”
CM Robles added, “Some people rose to the top and did their homework. I founded the Bulldogs in 2005. I give a lot of my time to youth and the community. When COVID hit, the Food Bank was formed 2.5 years ago. When people show up to help, to serve people. Reputation – person who you perceive what you are. Character is who you are. I select Element 7 as the second candidate.” CM Cardenas asked, “Do there have to be three (3) votes? I like both companies. I appreciate The Roots for their employee benefit package and higher wages. I go for The Roots Dispensary.” City Attorney Sinco said, “There’s not a resolution. A simple majority is needed. It’s best that CM Robles make a motion.
Motion made by Council Member Robles and seconded by Council Member Cardenas that the second retail business license go to Element 7. Roll Call: Ayes: 3 Noes: 0 Absent: Ramirez and Costa, Jr. Motion passed.
City Attorney Since then said, “There are three (3) unselected applicants. Two (2) have to get a CUP (Conditional Use Permit). Something may happen that precludes one from passing. Do you want to see the other three (3) on an eligibility list? Also, the ordinance doesn’t show a timeline. Staff want to show a timeline, so we’ll bring that back at the next meeting.”
15. Establishing the Classification and Job Description for the Engineering Technician Position within the Public Works Department.
Written report: Shannon Sweeney, Public Works Director
Recommendation: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-33 establishing the classification and job description for the Engineering Technician position within the Public Works Department.
Ms. Sweeney began by saying, “I started here about three (3) years ago. In that time, various changes have occurred: 1) there is a lot of funding for projects that are specific to capital projects; 2) we’ve updated numerous documents…capital improvement projects for wastewater, water, transit, etc., and 3) we lost two (2) long-term employees. One to retirement and the other to an internal transfer. Funds have been saved…restricted funds. By adding this new position, it will help with our succession/transition plan.”
April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 21 of 24 Mayor Julian said, “I personally feel we need this position. The resolution shows funds available for new restrooms at the Amtrak train station.” Ms. Sweeney said, “Yes, there is $4.0M for affordable housing, transit. The mayor asked if the funds for restrooms could be moved to the Veterans Memorial Plaza. Ms. Sweeney said that she could research that. CM Cardenas said that the need for restrooms is at both locations. Mr. Bodem added “I support this new position. By having the Engineering Tech, it will allow time for seeking more grants.” Ms. Sweeney then said, “Affordable Housing monies…not sure about flexibility on that to have restroom at the downtown parking lot. But I can work for that in the future”.
CM Cardenas said, “Looking at the workload, this position is very much needed.” Motion was made by Council Member Cardenas and seconded by Council Member Robles to approve Resolution No. 2022-33. Roll Call: Ayes: 3 Noes: 0 Absent: Ramirez and Costa, Jr. 3-0 Motion passed.
16. Auditorium Use Application / Agreement.
Written report: Hannah Fuentes, Recreation Services Manager Recommendation: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-32 approving revisions to the Auditorium Use Application/Agreement.
Ms. Fuentes started by talking about changes to the security provisions in the agreement. She said, “The renter was required to hire their own security for their event. The City will have an RFQ and hire security guards for use at all necessary events. This was discussed with the Recreation Commission, and it was agreed that the fee for these guards would be the renter’s responsibility.” She then added, “We put additional spaces on the application for more specific details on the event itself. Like the date and time of preparation, time clean-up ends, etc. There’s also more information added for alcohol use and details, such as the ‘name of the alcohol caterer’ and specific procedures and guidelines to tighten things up. A bartender certification is around $25.00. Outside of the auditorium in the courtyard area, a canopy will be used for alcohol serving and consumption. The renter will provide the canopy or the City will provide a list of companies/stores for purchase.” CM Robles asked, “Would the area be cordoned off?” Ms. Fuentes said, “Yes, a security guard would be posted outside and at the canopy area.” The mayor mentioned that in years past, at Le Roy Park alcohol wasn’t allowed and a beer garden was established. He suggested that plastic fencing could be used to keep minors out of the alcohol area. Ms. Fuentes said, “The certified bartender would have wristbands to use. There’d also be security all around that area at three (3) stations.” Mayor Julian then said, “With the open courtyard, someone can sneak in and sit at the alcohol area.
Just a thought.” CM Robles added, “After that incident in March, whoever is on duty…determine to have Police Department touch base with the security guards.” Ms. Fuentes responded, “Chief and I April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 22 of 24 have discussed this before. We would want to defer to address this at the time we update/revise the Master Fee Schedule. Chief has two (2) officers on duty. Having one of the officers walk through the event takes that officer off the streets.” CM Robles said that the Police Department is next door to the auditorium and can have an officer touch base there at the auditorium.
Mayor Julian said, “On a weekday, there was a broken window at the Historical Society. There was only one (1) police officer on duty.” CM Robles added, “Santa Maria is short right now. From Alvin Street to Preisker Park, there are two (2) officers on duty.” CM Cardenas added, “The police vehicles are right behind the building.”
City Attorney Sinco said, “We need to revisit this at another time. We need to discuss further with the Police Department…we can’t do that tonight.”
CM Cardenas referred back to the discussion of the canopy for the outside alcohol area. She asked, “For the canopy being required, is that an extra cost for the renters?” Ms. Fuentes said, “Yes, that needs to be required for the closed-in area for better monitoring of alcohol use.” The mayor said that a 10’x20’ canopy is big. CM Cardenas added that the language in the application/agreement doesn’t say who should bring the canopy…we’d want the lessee to bring. Ms. Fuentes said that we’d put out an RFQ for canopy companies.
Mayor Julian said, “If consuming alcohol, you have to have security guards but where?” Ms. Fuentes said, “At the back kitchen door and south exit from the auditorium and over by the canopy area.” CM Robles said that this could be a deterrent because of bad weather. CM Cardenas said, “I assumed the City would provide the canopy.” Ms. Fuentes then asked how to proceed.
CM Robles suggested getting an estimate on the size needed for the City to purchase and charge the renters for use. Ms. Fuentes then asked, “Do you want me to have an RFQ for canopies like for the security guards?” CM Robles suggested measuring the concrete location (basketball court). Ms.
Fuentes said she was looking at a 10’x20’ size. The mayor added, “If there’s a large gathering, there’s the bartender, supplies…that’s where the plastic fencing would come in. I’d look at covering the dispensing side, too. People won’t stay under the canopy.” CM Cardenas asked, “If the renter has own canopy, can that be used.” At this point, Fire Captain Schmitz came into the chambers and said, “There are fire code limits. With a 10’x20’ canopy, maximum 5 sq. ft. standing, that’s 40 people max.” The mayor said that with any quincinera, there are a lot of people. Ms. Fuentes said, “The security guard would be there and need to monitor all of that.” CM Cardenas said, “Private security needed for some events?” City Attorney Sinco said, “In Santa Maria, if alcohol is used, security is provided, and the renter pays. If no alcohol, security is only used for certain sizes of events.”
CM Cardenas, “Champagne…the language. Bottles can’t be brought in the auditorium?” Ms.
Fuentes said, “No glass bottles are allowed.” CM Cardenas followed up by asking, “You have to enter April 26, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting MINUTES Page 23 of 24 to get bottle of champagne?” Ms. Fuentes said that the bartender would need to monitor in the outside canopy.
Mayor Julian then asked, “On page 2 of 9, item #9 says that the renter is responsible for picking up the keys to the facility and returning same after end of event, etc.” Ms. Fuentes responded, “The application is used by different groups like non-profits.” The mayor asked what were the details that show responsibilities of non-profits. City Attorney Since answered saying, “Any non-profit would sign an MOU which sets forth certain criteria, e.g. can’t make copies of keys. They’d need some agreement, but we can take this section out of the application and develop a side agreement showing responsibilities for non-profits.”
The mayor had another question. He asked, “On page 7 of 9, item #6 says that renter won’t drive or permit to be driven nails, hooks, tacks, fasteners, etc. Scotch tape? You put scotch tape up on the walls and it peels off the paint.” At this point, City Attorney interjected saying, “We’ll continue this to another meeting. This item went through the Recreation Commission with recommendation to have City Council approve. Direction to staff is to bring back to another meeting for further discussion. No further action to be taken now.”
17. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Mayor Julian requested to move the proclamation for Terry Bauer to the May 10th meeting.
Mr. Bodem asked that the “Transient Occupancy Tax” (TOT) be put on the May 24th agenda. Also, that the “Facilities/Parks Maintenance Lead” job description be moved to the June 14th meeting.
City Attorney Sinco asked that the “November 8th - Election Resolutions” be moved to May 24th.
18. ANNOUNCEMENTS – COUNCIL ACTIVITY/COMMITTEE REPORTS
CM Cardenas: The playground equipment for O’Connell Park was delivered with installation planned for May. She also said that there would be a “ribbon cutting” ceremony but will talk to Ms. Sweeney when the installation is fully done.

_______________________________ _________________________________ Prepared by: Approved by:
Shannon Sweeney Todd Bodem, City Administrator
Public Works Director/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Federal transit funding available through Federal Transit Act (FTA) Sections 5311 and 5339
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council of the City of Guadalupe authorize the Public Works Director to execute applications, certifications and assurances, authorized agent forms, requests for reimbursement, and any other documents required to receive financial assistance through the US Department of Transportation (administered by the California Department of Transportation) associated with the 5311 and 5339 programs.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Guadalupe is eligible for almost $100,000 per year of operating financing through the FTA 5311 program. In addition, the City of Guadalupe is eligible to compete for capital funding for the purchase of new electric transit vehicles through the FTA 5339 program. For the City to continue to be eligible for these programs, the California Department of Transportation requires a resolution from the City of Guadalupe City Council authorizing the Public Works Director to administer these programs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City relies on numerous funding sources to support its public transit program. The 5311 funding is a critical funding source necessary to maintain public transit services for the community. In addition, continued work towards securing additional funding for electric transit vehicles will not only assist the City in meeting state mandated requirements for all electric transit vehicles by 2040 but also assist in improving air quality for our community.

SUBJECT: Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) Funding Project List for FY 2022-23 RECOMMENDATION:
1. Resolution No. 2022-35 to adopt a list of projects funded by Senate Bill 1 (SB 1): The Road Repair and Accountability Act.
BACKGROUND:
In April 2017, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor. The bill addressed the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide.
SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of the City of Guadalupe are aware of the projects proposed for funding in this community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year. The City must include a list of all projects proposed to receive funding from the Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement.
DISCUSSION:
The City uses a Pavement Management System to evaluate the condition of the pavement on local roads and provide recommended maintenance of the pavement to extend the life of the pavement in a cost effective manner. The information from this Pavement Management System is used to develop the annual pavement maintenance program. SB 1 funds are used each year to pay for the design and construction of pavement maintenance program projects.
In FY 2021-22 staff used SB 1 funds, along with other funds restricted to roads, to rehabilitate the following streets:
• Almaguer Avenue
• Montez Court
Shannon Sweeney
• Masatani Court
• Nelson Drive
• Julia Drive
• Hernandez Drive
• Camp Lane
• Sanchez Drive
• Mills Lane
• Chapman Drive
Last year’s resolution provided an estimated completion date of November 2021, at an estimated cost of $1.5 million. This project was completed in January 2022 for $980,600.
In FY 2022-23 staff proposes using SB1 funds to rehabilitate the following streets:
• Pagaling Drive
• Mahoney Lane
• Carlin Drive
• Lindy Drive
• Wong Street
• Degasparis Street
• Santa Barbara Street
• segments of Pioneer Street
• segments of 2nd Street
• segments of Olivera Street
• segments of 10th St.
• segments of 12th St.
• Alley north of 7th Street
Estimated cost of these additional projects is $2.0 million.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
As of March 31, 2022, the cash balance of all funding restricted to roads is $1.46 million. By the time this project is due for construction, adequate funding is expected to be available to proceed with the planned work. If not, work will be prioritized based on road condition, cost, and available funds.

_______________________________ _________________________________ Prepared by: Approved by:
Shannon Sweeney Todd Bodem, City Administrator
Public Works Director/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Adoption of a resolution approving a contract with Eikhof Design Group, Inc. (EDG) in the amount of $103,834.00 for preparation of a pavement rehabilitation report, plans and specifications, and engineer’s estimate for rehabilitation of selected streets in the City of Guadalupe.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-36 a contract with EDG in the amount of $103,834.00 for preparation of a pavement rehabilitation report, plans and specifications, and engineer’s estimate for rehabilitation of selected streets in the City of Guadalupe.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Guadalupe Pavement Maintenance Program was last updated in December 2019. That plan provided a list of pavement treatments anticipated to be needed in the next five years. Taking into account available funding, street conditions, and planned upcoming underground utility replacement, multiple neighborhoods were identified for rehabilitation in 2022-2023.
DISCUSSION:
The City developed a Request for Proposals and posted it in the local paper and issued it to four potential consultants on March 24. The City received two proposals and one “no bid” by the revised due date of April 19, 2022. Both consultants submitted outstanding proposals and have provided the City excellent service in the past.
The Pavement Maintenance Plan identified street rehabilitation needs based on a visual observation of pavement. The pavement rehabilitation report associated with this contract will use coring and deflection testing to physically test the structural integrity of the asphalt and better refine the rehabilitation treatment needed. The actual treatments may be more or less expensive than the treatments estimated based on visual observation. As a result, staff and the consultant will review the results of the pavement rehabilitation report to determine what streets will be rehabilitated based on available funding. Streets identified for evaluation include Pagaling Drive, Mahoney Lane, Carlin Drive, Shannon Sweeney
Lindy Drive, Wong Street, Degasparis Street, Santa Barbara Street, and segments of Pioneer Street, Second Street, Olivera Street, Tenth Street, Twelfth Street, and the alley north of 7th Street.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The FY 21 – 22 budget initially budgeted $1,511,200 for street rehabilitation. Funding left over from construction of the 2021 pavement rehabilitation project of over $200,000 is sufficient to pay for the upcoming 2022 pavement rehabilitation design services. Cash balance associated with all streets funds is $1,459,637.11 as of March 31,2022.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Guadalupe as follows:
SECTION 1: That the City Council of the City of Guadalupe approves entering into an agreement with Eikhof Design Group, Inc. in the amount of $103,834.00 for 2022 pavement rehabilitation project design services, a copy of which is attached to the staff report for this item, and authorizes the Mayor to sign the agreement on behalf of the City;

Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against City and shall require similar written express waivers. (5) 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.

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.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GUADALUPE
Agenda of May 10, 2022
________________________________ __________________________________ Prepared by: Approved by:
Larry Appel, Contract Planning Director Todd Bodem, City Administrator SUBJECT: Second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 2022-500 to repeal the existing sign ordinance (Sections 18.52.140-18.52.160) and add Chapter 18.51 (Signs).
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council conduct the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 2022- 500 to repeal the existing sign ordinance (Sections 18.52.140-18.52.160) and add Chapter 18.51 (Signs).
BACKGROUND:
On April 26, 2022, the City Council heard a presentation from the Planning Director on the proposed sign ordinance. Several questions were asked from the three Councilmembers present and a letter from the Guadalupe Business Association was summarized by the Director. No members of the public spoke on the item. Staff presented a summary of the various sections of the draft ordinance. It was explained that the ordinance would make processing much easier for staff since there would now be a clear permit path to follow. It was also mentioned that almost all of the signs could be permitted at a staff level so that the applicant wouldn’t have to pay for a City Council conditional use permit which would be more costly and take much more time.
Minor changes were discussed, including a clarification that temporary signs would not require a processing fee. Council also agreed to a five-year sunset clause for non-conforming signs. These changes are indicated in the attached ordinance (Attachment 1) provided for illustration purposes only. The specific sections of the ordinance that were changed at the direction of Council were: Section
18.51.05.D.4; Section 18.51.05.D.9; and Section 18.51.07.A.5. These changes were made to the ordinance prior to its first reading and introduction.
At the conclusion of the hearing, Council conducted the first reading and introduction of the ordinance, including the minor changes mentioned above, and continued the item to May 10, 2022 for second reading and adoption.
DISCUSSION:
In addition to these changes, minor clerical changes were made to the ordinance as well (e.g., typographical errors) which were discovered after the Council meeting on April 26, 2022. These clerical changes are also indicated in Attachment 1. These minor clerical changes were made to the ordinance Larry Appel
after the first reading and introduction of the ordinance as permitted by Government Code section 36934 (which permits minor clerical corrections to an ordinance after introduction without the need for the ordinance to be re-introduced), and also, based on the authority granted by the City Council in Section 5 of the ordinance which provides:
SECTION 5: The City Clerk is hereby authorized to make minor changes herein to address clerical errors, so long as substantial conformance of the intent of this document is maintained. In doing so, the City Clerk shall consult with the City Administrator and City Attorney concerning any changes deemed necessary.
The final “clean” version of the ordinance to be adopted by the Council is attached as Attachment 2.
At the hearing on April 26, 2022, Staff was directed to come back at a later date after developing a draft mural ordinance. The plan would be to circulate it to the public as well as the Guadalupe Business Association for initial comments.
After the meeting, staff contacted the two absent councilmembers to see if they had any concerns about the ordinance that might not have been addressed during the first reading. Based on the comments received, no changes have been made to the ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Minor reduction in revenues due to the need to update the City’s fee schedule. The larger processing fee (deposit) could only be charged if the sign is approved at the Council level. The new ordinance has all the processing done at the Director or staff level which has been changed to be more efficient. At the same time, it limits staff in its ability to charge for the actual cost of reviewing and permitting new signs.
CONCLUSION:
This ordinance will go into effect thirty days after the second reading. Staff will work with the Code Compliance staff to develop a program to contact owners of signs that might not be in compliance with the new ordinance and identify ways to bring the signs into compliance.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This ordinance has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and the CEQA Guidelines, and has been found to be exempt pursuant to Section 15306 of the CEQA Guidelines (information collection) because it does not have the potential to create a physical environmental effect.

ATTACHMENT 1
Section 18.51.02 Objectives.
Signs can have either a positive or negative impact on the character and quality of the City.
As a prominent part of the scenery, they attract or repel the viewing public, affect the safety of vehicular traffic, and set the tone of a neighborhood and the City. The objectives of this Chapter include the following:
A. To implement the City’s community design and safety standards as set forth in the City’s General Plan, and Municipal Code.
B. To maintain and enhance the City’s appearance by regulating the design, character, location, number, type, size, illumination, and maintenance of signs.
C. To serve the City’s interests in maintaining and enhancing its visual appeal for residents, tourists, and other visitors, by preventing the degradation of visual quality which can result from excessive and poorly designed, located, or maintained signage.
D. To generally limit signage to on-site locations in order to protect the aesthetic environment from the visual clutter associated with the unrestricted proliferation of signs.
E. To limit the size, number, and construction of signs to levels that reasonably allow for the free communication of ideas, consistent with the other purposes of this ordinance.
F. To encourage signs that are appropriate to the zoning district in which they are located and consistent with the permitted and conditional uses applied to the subject property.
G. To establish sizes of signs in relationship to the scale of the lot and building on which the signs are to be placed or to which they pertain.
H. To minimize the possible adverse effects of signs on nearby public and private property, including streets, sidewalks, roads, and highways.
I. To protect and improve pedestrian and vehicular safety by balancing the need for signs that facilitate the safe and smooth flow of traffic (e.g., directional signs and on-site signs) without an excess of signage which may distract drivers or overload the mental capacity to quickly receive and interpret information.
J. To reduce hazardous situations, confusion, and visual clutter caused by the proliferation, placement, illumination, animation and excessive height, and area and bulk of signs which compete for the attention of pedestrians and motorists.
K. To respect and protect the right of free speech by sign display, while reasonably regulating the structural, locational, and other non-communicative aspects of signs, generally for the public health, safety, and welfare, and specifically to serve the public interests in community aesthetics, traffic, and pedestrian safety.
L. To enable the fair, consistent, and effective enforcement of the sign regulations of the City.

Section 18.51.04. General Requirements.
A. Applicability. This Chapter regulates signs located on private property within all zoning districts of the City and on property owned by public agencies other than the City over which the City has zoning and land use regulatory power. Except where otherwise expressly provided in this Chapter, all signs located in such areas of the City shall receive zoning clearance for signs or a master sign plan as provided in subsection B of this Section, and shall be erected and maintained in conformity with this Chapter. The consent of the property owner is necessary before any sign may be erected on any private property within the City.
B. Zoning Clearance for Signs Required. Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter, it is unlawful for any person to place, erect, structurally or electrically alter (not including a change in sign copy of sign face), move or display or maintain any permanent sign without first obtaining a zoning clearance for signs from the Director or his/her designee in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter. No zoning clearance for signs is required for cleaning or other normal maintenance of a properly approved sign, unless a structural or electrical change is made.
C. Master Sign Plan Required. On a multi-tenant building or multi-building site, a master sign plan shall be prepared by the owner for review and approval by the Director or his/her designee in accordance with Section 18.51.07. The purpose of the master sign plan is to ensure compliance with this Chapter, promote continuity of sign design and to spread the amount of sign area permitted among the buildings and businesses within a multi-tenant building or multi-building site. Temporary signage may be allowed in accordance with Section 18.51.05.D upon the approval of a complete master sign plan.
D. Noncommercial Signs. Noncommercial signs are allowed whenever commercial signage is permitted and are subject to the same standards and total maximum allowances per site or building of each sign type specified in this Chapter.
E. Substitution of Noncommercial Message. Subject to the consent of the property owner, a noncommercial message of any type may be substituted for all or part of the commercial message on any sign allowed under this Chapter. No special or additional approval is required to substitute a noncommercial message for any other message on an allowable sign, provided the sign structure is already approved or exempt from the approval requirement and no structural or electrical change is made. When a noncommercial message is substituted for any other message, however, the sign is still subject to the same design, size, locational, and structural regulations (e.g., color, materials, height, size, illumination, maintenance, duration of display, etc.) as well as all building and electrical code requirements, as would apply if the sign were used to display a commercial message. In the event of any perceived or actual conflict between the general provisions of this subsection and any other specific provisions in this Chapter, the provisions of this subsection shall prevail.
F. Construction Materials. All permanent signs shall be constructed of wood, metal, plastic, ceramic tile, glass or like material (or paint on a building such as a painted wall sign) as approved by the Planning Director.
G. Area of Signs.
1. A “double-face sign” with parallel planes, back-to-back, not more than 24 inches apart, shall count as a single sign and only one side shall be counted for the total sign area.
2. In the case of a multi-face sign other than a double-faced sign, the outer dimensions of all the sign faces shall be combined. The sign area shall be the total area of all the faces.
3. In the event a sign falls under more than one sign definition, the more restrictive sign regulations found in this Chapter shall apply.
4. Sign face changes to a legally established sign which do not structurally alter the sign (including sign area and configuration) shall not require a zoning clearance for signs.
5. The total sign area allowed on a parcel shall be calculated as the sum of the sign areas of all signs on the parcel except directional structures and temporary signs.
6. The total sign area allowed on a parcel shall be up to one square foot of sign area for each lineal foot of building occupancy frontage or parcel frontage, whichever is greater, except that all properties are allowed a minimum of 25 square feet of sign area regardless of the building or parcel width. The Director or his/her designee, through the zoning clearance for signs process, shall determine whether proposed sign area is compatible with the proposed architecture of the building and with other properties in the vicinity. Sites with multiple tenants shall be required to submit a master sign program, for approval by the Director or his/her designee, to determine the share of total sign area for each tenant space.
a. Parcels adjacent to more than one public street, public alley, or freeway may be allowed to count each frontage toward the total sign area for the parcel. As part of the zoning clearance for signs review process, the Director or his/her designee shall ensure that the sign area is appropriately distributed among said frontages in order to avoid signs that are visually out of proportion with each particular building face.
b. Bonus Sign Area: The total sign area may be increased by 25% for that portion of a building that has a height of 20 feet or more of habitable interior space. As part of the zoning clearance review process for signs, the Director or his/her designee shall ensure that the amount of the bonus sign area allowed does not result in signage that is out of proportion with the building.
7. The area of a sign shall be calculated by forming a box to enclose the entire sign.
The box must be a continuous line consisting of not more than eight straight lines that form right angles. The area within the box shall be the sign area.
8. The supporting structure of any sign, including monument base or masonry veneer, shall not be included in determining the sign area.
H. Location. All sign structures shall comply with sight distance requirements for corner visibility of pedestrians and vehicles per Resolution No. 2009-24 (adoption of Santa Maria City Roadway Standards Manual, including corner cutbacks).
I. Architecturally Designed Sign Towers along Primary Arterial Streets. The City Council, through a Design Review Permit or Conditional Use Permit may permit, or conditionally permit, sign towers in the C-S-SP and C-N-SP zoning districts along primary arterial streets as defined in the Circulation Element of the General Plan. The sign towers shall not exceed a height of 25 feet above finished grade. The total sign area shall not be greater than 200 square feet per tower with signs permitted on up to four sign faces. The design of the sign towers must be consistent with the adopted Specific Plan for the area. The sign tower must make a positive design statement for the City of Guadalupe, be architecturally compatible with the architecture of the adjoining buildings, and must include substantial adjacent landscaping.
J. Illumination. Illumination shall be allowed on all signs upon the approval of zoning clearance for signs. Illuminated signs may be lighted either by exterior or interior means.
Illuminated signs shall be designed in such a manner as to avoid glare or reflection of light on private property in the surrounding area or onto public rights-of-way. Illumination of signs shall comply with all adopted building codes of the City of Guadalupe.
K. Limitation on Number of Signs Affixed to a Building. Up to four permanent signs may be permitted on any building face for a single tenant providing that the total available square footage allowed for display of permanent signs on a building is not exceeded.
L. Maintenance. All signs shall be maintained in a neat and orderly appearance, including, but not limited to, repairing all holes, tears, fading, chipping, structural defects, and partial or full loss of illumination.

b. Plans drawn to scale showing the design of the sign, including dimensions, sign size, colors, materials, method of attachment, source of illumination, and showing the relationship to any building, parcel, or structure to which it is proposed to be installed or affixed or to which it relates. Compliance with applicable state building codes including structural analysis, wind load calculations, and footing details shall be shown on the plans and signed by a structural engineer when applicable.

The applicant will then have 30 calendar days from receipt of comments to submit additional information to render the application complete. Failure to do so within this 30-day period renders the application void. Within 30 calendar days following receipt of an amended application or supplemental information, the Director or his/her designee must again determine whether the application is complete in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection. Evaluation and notification is to occur as provided above until such time as the application is found to be complete.

c. The proposed sign(s) is consistent with the City’s General Plan and municipal code;
d. The proposed design, character, location, number, type, size, illumination and maintenance of the proposed sign(s) maintain and enhance the City’s appearance. e. Decisions made on zoning clearance for signs shall not be based on the content of the signage.
5. Application process for temporary sign permits. A zoning clearance is not required for temporary signs/banners, but a no fee permit is required. The application for a sign permit may be made in writing on the form provided by the Planning Department or on some other written form acceptable to the Planning Director Director and accompanied by the required fee established by City Council resolution (if any). The application shall include the number and type of signs and the location(s) of these signs along with proof of the consent of the property owner or other person in control or in possession of the property where the sign(s) will be displayed, and for how long the temporary signs will be displayed.

The purpose of this Chapter is to regulate signs located on private property within the City and on property owned by public agencies other than the City and over which the City has zoning and land use regulatory power.
ATTACHMENT 2
Section 18.51.02 Objectives.
Signs can have either a positive or negative impact on the character and quality of the City.
As a prominent part of the scenery, they attract or repel the viewing public, affect the safety of vehicular traffic, and set the tone of a neighborhood and the City. The objectives of this Chapter include the following:
A. To implement the City’s community design and safety standards as set forth in the City’s General Plan, and Municipal Code.
B. To maintain and enhance the City’s appearance by regulating the design, character, location, number, type, size, illumination, and maintenance of signs.
C. To serve the City’s interests in maintaining and enhancing its visual appeal for residents, tourists, and other visitors, by preventing the degradation of visual quality which can result from excessive and poorly designed, located, or maintained signage.
D. To generally limit signage to on-site locations in order to protect the aesthetic environment from the visual clutter associated with the unrestricted proliferation of signs.
E. To limit the size, number, and construction of signs to levels that reasonably allow for the free communication of ideas, consistent with the other purposes of this ordinance.
F. To encourage signs that are appropriate to the zoning district in which they are located and consistent with the permitted and conditional uses applied to the subject property.
G. To establish sizes of signs in relationship to the scale of the lot and building on which the signs are to be placed or to which they pertain.
H. To minimize the possible adverse effects of signs on nearby public and private property, including streets, sidewalks, roads, and highways.
I. To protect and improve pedestrian and vehicular safety by balancing the need for signs that facilitate the safe and smooth flow of traffic (e.g., directional signs and on-site signs) without an excess of signage which may distract drivers or overload the mental capacity to quickly receive and interpret information.
J. To reduce hazardous situations, confusion, and visual clutter caused by the proliferation, placement, illumination, animation and excessive height, and area and bulk of signs which compete for the attention of pedestrians and motorists.
K. To respect and protect the right of free speech by sign display, while reasonably regulating the structural, locational, and other non-communicative aspects of signs, generally for the public health, safety, and welfare, and specifically to serve the public interests in community aesthetics, traffic, and pedestrian safety.
L. To enable the fair, consistent, and effective enforcement of the sign regulations of the City.

Section 18.51.04. General Requirements.
A. Applicability. This Chapter regulates signs located on private property within all zoning districts of the City and on property owned by public agencies other than the City over which the City has zoning and land use regulatory power. Except where otherwise expressly provided in this Chapter, all signs located in such areas of the City shall receive zoning clearance for signs or a master sign plan as provided in subsection B of this Section, and shall be erected and maintained in conformity with this Chapter. The consent of the property owner is necessary before any sign may be erected on any private property within the City.
B. Zoning Clearance for Signs Required. Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter, it is unlawful for any person to place, erect, structurally or electrically alter (not including a change in sign copy of sign face), move or display or maintain any permanent sign without first obtaining a zoning clearance for signs from the Director or his/her designee in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter. No zoning clearance for signs is required for cleaning or other normal maintenance of a properly approved sign, unless a structural or electrical change is made.
C. Master Sign Plan Required. On a multi-tenant building or multi-building site, a master sign plan shall be prepared by the owner for review and approval by the Director or his/her designee in accordance with Section 18.51.07. The purpose of the master sign plan is to ensure compliance with this Chapter, promote continuity of sign design and to spread the amount of sign area permitted among the buildings and businesses within a multi-tenant building or multi-building site. Temporary signage may be allowed in accordance with Section 18.51.05.D upon the approval of a complete master sign plan.
D. Noncommercial Signs. Noncommercial signs are allowed whenever commercial signage is permitted and are subject to the same standards and total maximum allowances per site or building of each sign type specified in this Chapter.
E. Substitution of Noncommercial Message. Subject to the consent of the property owner, a noncommercial message of any type may be substituted for all or part of the commercial message on any sign allowed under this Chapter. No special or additional approval is required to substitute a noncommercial message for any other message on an allowable sign, provided the sign structure is already approved or exempt from the approval requirement and no structural or electrical change is made. When a noncommercial message is substituted for any other message, however, the sign is still subject to the same design, size, locational, and structural regulations (e.g., color, materials, height, size, illumination, maintenance, duration of display, etc.) as well as all building and electrical code requirements, as would apply if the sign were used to display a commercial message. In the event of any perceived or actual conflict between the general provisions of this subsection and any other specific provisions in this Chapter, the provisions of this subsection shall prevail.
F. Construction Materials. All permanent signs shall be constructed of wood, metal, plastic, ceramic tile, glass or like material (or paint on a building such as a painted wall sign) as approved by the Planning Director.
G. Area of Signs.
1. A “double-face sign” with parallel planes, back-to-back, not more than 24 inches apart, shall count as a single sign and only one side shall be counted for the total sign area.

Agenda Item No. 7I
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GUADALUPE
Agenda of May 10, 2022
________________________________
Prepared by:
Todd Bodem, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Pursuant to Government Code Section 21221(h) for the appointment of Amelia M. Villegas as Interim Human Resources Manager RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-37 approving Amelia M. Villegas as Interim Human Resources Manager pursuant to Government Code section 21221(h).
BACKGROUND:
In October 2019, Ms. Villegas retired having spent 13 years as Human Resources Manager with the City of Guadalupe. At the time of her retirement, a suitable candidate had not been hired to fill that vacancy.
All the necessary reviews and approvals were obtained from CalPERS and the City Council to waive the 180-day wait period between Ms. Villegas’s retirement date and the date she began employment in that one-time Interim Human Resources Manager position which was in mid-October 2019.
A lengthy recruitment process occurred with that vacancy, which was filled in March 2020 with a regular, part-time employee, not a retired annuitant. That employee has now given two months’ notice of intent to resign, effective May 6, 2022. An active recruitment process had begun in mid-March but has yet to yield qualified candidates.
Ms. Villegas is authorized to return as a retiree to fill this current vacancy pursuant to Government Code section 21221(h) which permits the City Council of the City of Guadalupe to appoint Ms. Villegas to a vacant position requiring specialized skills during recruitment for a permanent appointment. This appointment will not subject Ms. Villegas to reinstatement from retirement or loss of benefits so long as it is a single appointment that does not exceed 960 hours in a fiscal year.
Under the January 2013 Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA), certain provisions must be adhered to for a retiree to work in any capacity for a CalPERS employee:
• The work is of a limited duration in a retired annuitant designated position (i.e., not a permanent part-time position);
• The compensation paid is an hourly pay rate that is within the salary schedule for the position;
• The time worked is 960 hours or less in a fiscal year (July 1-June 30); • No additional compensation or benefits are to be paid.
Another PEPRA provision for a retiree to return to work for a CalPERS employer is a 180-day wait period between the retirement date and the date employment begins unless an exception is approved.
However, this provision does not apply in this situation.
While Ms. Villegas’s main focus will be to recruit and fill this critical vacancy, she will also be asked to manage and complete any personnel-related activities that may arise and be deemed essential to the efficient operation of the City. Ms. Villegas will be employed as a temporary employee with limited hours per week until a suitable and qualified replacement is identified.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The position of Human Resources Manager has been budgeted at $37.33 per hour, as a full-time permanent position with correlating benefits. Ms. Villegas will be retained at $41.16 per hour with no benefits on a limited weekly schedule. As a result, there is more than sufficient funds in the budget to cover this action.

Villegas as Interim Human Resources Manager effective May 11, 2022, to perform specialized work for a limited duration until a regular Human Resources Manager can be hired, or when she has worked 960 hour, or on December 31, 2022, whichever occurs first.

The preconstruction meeting was held on April 14. Tentative schedule at this time is construction to begin on June 13, after the end of the school year.
Operations
City staff adjusted water well operations to reduce electrical costs during peak power cost time of day, which is now 4 PM to 9 PM daily. Staff observed operations daily to ensure that the new operational scheme does not negatively impact water supply to the community.
Fire department staff expressed concern that valves along Guadalupe Street were not functional because the valve pots were filled with dirt, and as a result, a hit fire hydrant was not able to be isolated in a timely manner, resulting in the loss of a considerable amount of water. On April 27, water staff completed their review of the status of these valves. They found 76 valves along the length of Guadalupe Street. 61 were able to be cleared by hand. 15 need to be cleared with special equipment. This work is scheduled for May 18.
Wastewater
Regulatory
No overflows occurred in April 2022.
The wastewater treatment plant experienced no violations the month of April.
Wastewater staff met virtually with Regional Water Quality Control Board staff to discuss our permit application. Regional Board staff asked for a handful of additional details but overall indicated that our permit application was good. On April 25, Public Works staff submitted the remaining requested information to the Regional Board.
2021 Trunk Main Improvement Project
This project involves upsizing 3,000 feet of sewer main and is vital for meeting current and future capacity issues, fixing broken pipe, and moving sewer trunk main from private property into the public right-of-way where practicable. The construction on this project is nearly done.
In April, the contractor completed the sewer line installation itself and finished cleanup, paving, manhole lining, videoing, and old main abandonment. One private sewer lateral was relocated the week of April 11. Paving walkthrough occurred on April 14. Unanticipated expenses on this project included a poorly located storm drain, unknown manholes, some adjustments to alignment, and additional paving. At this time, the unanticipated expenses amount to just under $90,000, which is under 5% of this $1.5 million project, which is well under the 15% contingency allowed. Substantial completion estimated for May 3, 2022. 7 Effluent Pump Station Rehabilitation
This project involves the rehabilitation of the effluent pump station at the wastewater treatment plant. It is partially funded through an Integrated Regional Water Management Program (IRWMP) grant. The contractor has already received a Notice to Proceed on this project. Due to the long lead time associated with PG&E review of the electrical installation and the time needed for pump manufacture, construction for this project was rescheduled for February 2022. However, due to supply chain issues, project construction has been delayed to July 2022. The pumps arrived on March 28. Now, we are awaiting the electrical equipment associated with this project.
The 4th quarter progress report was submitted to the Integrated Regional Water Management Program on April 8. This reporting is required as part of the Proposition 1 Round 1 implementation funding of $302,821 associated with this project.
Highway 1 Lift Station Rehabilitation
On April 8, Public Works staff resubmitted the Caltrans encroachment permit application with revised drawings reflecting responses to previous Caltrans comments.
Pioneer Lift Station Rehabilitation
On April 8, staff submitted Project Information Form to be eligible for all or part of $565,386 available through the Integrated Water Management Plan (IRWMP) Proposition 1 Round 2 implementation grant program.

Agenda Item No. 10
2. Le Roy Park Phase I Ribbon Cutting – Ribbon Cutting, June 12 Save the Date: Le Roy Park Grand Opening on June 12, 2022, at 1 p.m. There will be live music by Los Compas de Guadalupe. Programming starts at 1 p.m. and food will be served at 2 p.m.
The BBQ will be hosted by the Knights of Columbus.
Future reminder: We should expect another ribbon cutting ceremony for the Le Roy Phase II $1.7M Federal grant in the next year or so when that addition to the building is constructed.
3. Royal Theater Good news! Staff heard on 4/18 that Senator Limon has put the $5M request in the state budget for the Royal Theater project. Since Cunningham has also done this, we have both houses supporting the $5M ask. Staff will be applying for tax credits that could be used for the Royal as gap financing to cover the balance of the estimated $10M project.
4. Facility Coordinator Position.
The City has a new individual taking over the Facility Rental Coordinator position. Mayra Figueroa started during the week of April 25th. Hannah stated that she is excited to add her to the team and look forward to seeing her apply her experience to this position. Please don’t hesitate to say hello.
Amelia Villegas is bringing Mayra up to speed on her system and procedures for rentals. At the time of this written report, Amelia’s last day will be Friday, May 6th. City staff wants to take this opportunity to thank Amelia for her willingness to step into this role until we could find a replacement. Thank you for your time here, Amelia!
5. More Grants. Per the Board, Los Amigos de Guadalupe has been awarded for the Senior Meals Program (both congregate and home deliveries) at $154,000 per year. Depending on performance, the funds could be available for an additional 3 years. LADG indicated they would service 40 congregate meals and 20 home delivery meals. There are 4 items to complete, one being the kitchen permit, before funding it fully approved.
6. Broadband Meeting – May 4th from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Community Meeting – City Council Chambers
EconAlliance Consortium provided a project overview, and then about a 50-minute panel comprised of folks sharing some of the unique needs of various constituents from the community held on May 4th from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. Very interesting topic of discussion. They thanked the participants, the Mayor, and City Councilmember Antonio Ramirez for their support of the Guadalupe Broadband project meeting that night. Much appreciated the great venue. While it would have been nice to have more attendees, the conversation was stimulating and very valuable to the final strategy document. Grateful to you, Amelia, as well, for her conscientious attention to our event. EconAlliance looks forward to working with Guadalupe on its broadband progress!
7. Cinco de Mayo Veterans Memorial Plaza Event – May 8
th from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The Recreation and Parks Services Manager Hannah Fuentes will hold an event gathering on Sunday, May 8th from 11:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Plaza. She would like to have a few food trucks parked in the parking lot and pop-up tents in the grass areas surrounding the parking lot with the parking lot blocked off. The pop-up tents would be to provide educational information regarding the significance of Cinco de Mayo, Mexican cultural information, or fun activities for people to participate in. In addition to food trucks and pop ups, I would like to provide entertainment (i.e., mariachis and ballet folklorico dancers). Outside of the educational significance of an event like this, Ms. Fuentes thinks it is important to provide activities like this to keep the community connected.
8. Guadalupe City Food Bank has been approved to offer two days of food distribution, starting in May. At this writing, the First Thursday of the Month and the Third MONDAY of the month is planned. Our May Food distribution dates are May 5th, Thursday and May 16th, Monday.

Food is delivered to the Senior and Community Center at 10:00 AM and volunteers’ bag and prepare food for distribution beginning at 11:30 AM. Updates will be forthcoming, and information was distributed to Food Bag participants on 4/7/22.
9. Agreements with the various groups, such as the Boys & Girls Club, Allan Hancock College, and SER Jobs for Progress, Veterans Hall MOU are ongoing.
10. Le Roy Park Committee members will discuss the Lease/MOU agreement, the current direction is to move forward with an MOU as opposed to a lease. Given this direction, it was suggested that the city obtain from the Club, specific information as to the times, programs, staffing, anticipated attendance, etc., the Club anticipates in utilizing the Le Roy Park. As you are aware, the City Recreation Commission has asked that they be involved in any arrangements and approvals made regarding the use of Le Roy Park, for any organization which includes City run programs, SER, Jobs For Progress interests, Hancock College’s outreach to the City regarding the use of Le Roy Park, etc.
The next step for the Club is to prepare, the anticipated information as per the above, days, times, specific activities the Club will operate, staffing, etc. This information will be presented by the Club, to the Recreation Commission for their input and discussions. With the Commissions input, the Council will have a better sense of direction on how the facility will be functioning.
We understand that there is a need to move these and other use agreements for Le Roy Community Center, forward. The goal of these upcoming decisions is aimed at supporting the needs of the City, Club and other organizations who wish to serve the City youth and residents of Guadalupe.
11. Senior Citizens, Senior Center
Guadalupe Senior and Community Center organizers are offering Several days per week of an open house for local senior citizens until the full meal preparations begin at 4545 10th Street.
Several meetings are planned in coordination with the City of Guadalupe and Los Amigos de Guadalupe to discuss a roll out of the breakfast gatherings targeting local seniors. Updates will be provided when schedules and types of service are offered. This will not involve any prepared meals at the center, just coffee, pan dulce, and the coming out of the Pandemic roll out for Seniors.

14. CCB Entitlement Process
The City Council approved Commercial Cannabis Business Applicants are commencing with the conditional use process. This entitlement process may take about 2-3 months from initial application period to final council approval.
On May 5th, City staff had a preconstruction meeting onsite with the commercial cannabis manufacturing process operators at 151 Obispo Street. The estimated operation of this plant will be on September 15, 2022.
15. Former Al’s Union Property
The Senior Hazardous Materials Specialist from the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department promised the City Administrator to get a full review of what was submitted to them from the consultant and the cleanup no later than next week. It is the Health Departments recollection that they should be able finalize the Case Closure Summary, update GeoTracker, and of course the final review by the supervisor and then their director before signing off. Once the City Administrator gets the sign off, then he will work with the Contract Planning Director to develop an RFP to solicit developers who will share with the City Council their development proposals for use of the property. Remember: this property is a former Redevelopment Authority property with the Successor Agency and its disposition states in the Long-Range Property Management Plan it must be sold for development purposes.
16. SBCAS Jurisdictional Contract 5-Year Fee Schedule for Guadalupe Based on direction received from the Board of Supervisors on April 19, 2022, the schedule below provides the FY 2022-2023 Year-1 contract amount with the first-year phase out of the General Fund support.

END OF REPORT
Subdivision Tract 29,065 Page 1 of 5 May 10, 2022
Agenda Item No. 11
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GUADALUPE
Agenda of May 10, 2022
______________________________ ____________________________________ Prepared by: Approved by:
Bill Scott, Contract City Planner Todd Bodem, City Administrator SUBJECT: Public hearing to consider subdivision Tract 29,065, (Planning File No. 2021-098- TTM) a Vesting Tentative Tract Map to allow future development on Lots 1 and 2 of Parcel Map 29,063.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Tract 29,065 is a Vesting Tentative Tract Map to allow future development of two of the parcels established by the Master Parcel Map Tract 29,063. Parcel Map 29,063 is the 4-lot Parcel Map, which establishes the larger parcels from which future subdivisions in DJ Farms South will be derived. Master Parcel Map 29,063 was approved by the City Council in June 2021 and was recently recorded by the County. Tract 29,065 implements two components of the Master Parcel Map. Lot 1 is 21.8-acres and would be subdivided into 104-lots including: 98 lots for single-family detached residential homesites; one lot for a park site; four lots would provide stormwater infiltration; and one lot for supporting open space uses. Lot 2 would establish a flood control basin on the 9.16-acres. The project site is part of the 85.1-acre area, south of the Union Pacific/Santa Maria Valley railroad tracks, identified as Pasadera South.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council receive a presentation from staff and consider Tentative Tract Map 29,065 by the following the procedures a-c below:
a) Presentation of staff report (Bill Scott, Contract City Planner) followed by questions of staff from City Council.
b) Conduct a public hearing to consider any comments from the applicant and the public; and
c) Approve Resolution 2022-38 to conditionally approve the Tentative Tract Map 29,065.
BACKGROUND:
DJ Farms Specific Plan
On November 13, 2012, the City Council, by Resolution no. 2012-29; adopted the revised version of the DJ Farms Specific Plan. The Specific Plan area covers 209-acres and establishes the Bill Scott
Subdivision Tract 29,065 Page 2 of 5 May 10, 2022
development parameters for a mixed-use community consisting of up to 802 residential dwelling units, 250,000 square feet of commercial uses, 12.5-acres for a school site and 15.9-acres for neighborhood serving parks and recreational facilities. As noted above, Tract 29,065 covers two of the four lots established by the previously approved Parcel Map 29,063 in the southerly portion of the DJ Farms Specific Plan. Railroad tracks, owned by Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and leased by the Santa Maria Valley Railroad (SMVRR), extend along the northeasterly side of the project site. Union Pacific Railroad tracks abut the subdivision site to the west.
Most of the Lot 1 project area is currently under agricultural cultivation. A narrow drainage swale had historically traversed through the center of the Lot 2 site. That area was recently rough graded. The future Lot 2 basin site has been excavated; and just west of the basin site, a large mound of soil has been stockpiled that will ultimately become the westerly Obispo Street bridge approach. The previous excavation and stockpile were approved after a biological survey was completed and a grading permit was issued by the City Engineer.
Pasadera South
As noted above, the current Tract 29,065 would establish 98 lots for single-family detached residential use; a 0.65-acre park site, four lots for required Low Impact Development (LID) stormwater infiltration; and one 0.78-acre Lot for open space use. A regional stormwater retention basin on 9.16-acres will serve the Pasdera South developments. The Tentative Tract Map is attached as Exhibit C.
Other Project Components
Railroad Buffer: The tentative tract map establishes a 60-foot-wide railroad setback between the SMVRR railroad tracks and the Lots 1 – 25 homesites on the north side of the subdivision. A 100- foot setback is provided between the UPRR railroad tracks and Lots 41, 42, 67, 68, 86, 96 and 100, on the west side of the subdivision. The railroad buffers implement the noise and vibration requirements established by the Specific Plan EIR.
Perimeter Walls: The tentative tract map depicts minimum 6-foot-high masonry walls along the northeasterly, southeasterly, and westerly perimeters of the subdivision. The walls provide both sound attenuation and privacy for homes along the perimeters of the subdivision.
Sons of Guadalupe Street Names: The Pasadera South subdivisions will recognize the names from the “Sons of Guadalupe – Killed in Action and WWII Veterans” list. In Tract 29,065, the main thoroughfare that connects all four of the lots in Pasadera South has been named “Kurkokawa Drive” after fallen local soldier Ben Kurkokawa. Also, “Rico Drive,” is named for serviceman Raymond Rico another fallen local hero. Rico Drive connects Arroyo Seco Road and Kurkokawa Drive in the southerly portion of Lot 4 as shown on Master Parcel Map 29,063. Additional streets in Pasadera South will further be available to commemorate other heroes from the “Sons of Guadalupe” list.
Public Transit: The tract map designates a bus route generally in the easterly part of the future Lot 1 neighborhood. The bus route is shown to extend along the Obispo Street extension and connects to the easterly Lots 3 and 4 along future Kurkokawa Drive. The preliminary location of at least one bus stops has been identified in the Lot 1 neighborhood.
Subdivision Tract 29,065 Page 3 of 5 May 10, 2022
Development Agreement: The tract map has been conditioned to ensure its implementation is aligned with the financial and infrastructure obligations, and the timing mechanisms established by the associated Development Agreement adopted by City Council Ordinance No. 2012-411; Amendment No. 1 (Ordinance No. 2014-048); and Amendment No. 2 (Ordinance No. 2015-427).
DISCUSSION:
The Land Use, Circulation and Infrastructure elements of the DJ Farms Specific Plan establish virtually all the development parameters for this subdivision. However, as a first step staff evaluated the tract map for conformance to the applicable provisions of Title 17 of the Guadalupe Municipal Code (the Subdivision Ordinance). For example, Section 17.20.020 establishes the regulations for tentative map form and content, and Section 17.32.030 sets a maximum lot width to depth ratio for new subdivisions. The tract map was found to meet all the applicable standards stipulated by the Guadalupe Subdivision Ordinance.
Specific Plan Conformance
The 98-single-family lots proposed under Tract 29,065 are zoned R-1-5000, have a minimum size of 5,000 square-feet: and range in size from slightly over 5,000 square-feet to over 10,000 squarefeet (Exhibit C - Tentative Tract Map). Two residential lots, Lots 1 and 2 are “flag lots,” having unusually lengthy driveways and no building presence at the street frontage. The flag lot configuration could be inconsistent with the “Cohesive Community Design” intent of the Specific Plan. However, given the challenge presented by this end of cul-de-sac location, and the very limited use of this lot design approach, the two flag lots are deemed to be acceptable in this case.
Consistent with the Land Use Plan, Lot 99 is depicted as a 0.65-acre park site; and Lot 104 (0.78- acre) depicts another future open space area. The remainder of the lots in the Lot 1 subdivision, Lots 100 – 103, would serve as stormwater infiltration basins. The larger Lot 2 basin will be fully installed and functioning prior to the first occupancy issuance. In addition to its flood control purpose the Lot 2 basin will establish a protected “native area” planted and maintained with special status native plant species to the specifications of the project’s Environmental Impact Report. The developer will install the associated streets and utilities to serve to subdivision.
The Planning Department has found that the design of the map, the configuration of the lots, the location of the land uses, and the roadway alignments are in full conformance with the Zoning Map (Attachment 2) and the Road Plan contained in the DJ Farms Specific Plan. Furthermore, the tract map is conditioned to ensure each stage of development will be implemented as specified by the environmental Mitigation Monitoring Program established for the project.
Site Access
As shown on the tract map, primary access to the Pasadara South subdivisions will be from Obispo Street, extending over the railroad tracks from the north. The Obispo Street bridge, (a 76-foot-wide right-of-way collector street), has a 56-foot-wide roadway width, and includes: a 28-foot-wide roadway with 6-foot-wide sidewalks and 8-foot bike lines on both sides of the roadway. The Obispo Street bridge will be fully constructed by the developer and operational prior to the first occupancy for the homes south of the railroad. To the west, the Arroyo Seco Road bridge is of similar design and will provide secondary access. The Arroyo Seco bridge will be installed and operational before occupancy of the 210th dwelling in Pasadera South. The City Subdivision Tract 29,065 Page 4 of 5 May 10, 2022
Engineer has endorsed the street alignments and roadway sections as shown on the tract map.
Temporary Construction Access
The Obispo Street bridge is currently under review by the Union Pacific Railroad. While the bridge is under structural design review and construction, the project developer proposes a temporary construction access route, extending along a farm road, from Brown Road, roughly
1.5 miles to the south (Attachment 4). The applicant has provided written approval from the property owner for use of this temporary access route. The City Engineer has endorsed the Brown Road/farm road access route. However, the Fire Department has stated the length and condition of this roadway is not acceptable to accommodate emergency vehicle access.
Therefore, any temporary construction would be limited only to earthwork such as grading, installation of underground utilities, and other surface improvements.
Temporary Emergency Access
As noted, the Fire Department has stated, horizontal construction such as site grading and work on underground utilities is acceptable, however, any activity involving combustible materials (e.g., vertical home construction) shall not be permitted. The tract map is conditioned to specify, no building construction may begin until the Obispo Street bridge is fully operational, or a suitable emergency route is identified to the specifications of the Fire Department. As conditioned, the temporary access routes meet the specifications of the City and makes available the maximum of construction flexibility for the developer.
Conclusion
As discussed above, the design of the Map, its land uses, and roadway alignments meet the specifications of the DJ Farms Specific Plan. As conditioned, the Map will meet requisite City specifications, and will provide the developer with a maximum degree of flexibility. The tract map will be implemented in full compliance with the environmental measures identified in the Project EIR. The associated roadways, utilities, public facilities, and infrastructure will be more precisely defined and implemented during the subsequent Final Map, Improvement Plan and Grading Plan stages for subdivision Tract 29,065.

CEQA Compliance
A Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) (SCH 1992111025) and Addendum to the Final EIR Subdivision Tract 29,065 Page 5 of 5 May 10, 2022
was prepared for the Revised DJ Farms Specific Plan and certified by the City of Guadalupe in November 2012. The Certified Final EIR and Addendum to the Final EIR addressed the physical impacts on the environment resulting from the development plans outlined in the adopted Specific Plan.
The current project is essentially the same project assessed in the Project EIR. The proposed Vesting Tentative Parcel Map (VTPM) would implement the adopted Specific Plan and it would not substantially alter the project previously analyzed in the Certified Final EIR and the Addendum to the Final EIR.
The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) of the EIR. Mitigation measures that are applicable to the proposed VTTM have been incorporated as Conditions of Approval (Exhibit B of Attachment 1). Staff will continue to review the MMRP to ensure that all mitigation measures are incorporated and considered during each future discretionary and development stage. This Vesting Tentative Tract Map has been found to follow CEQA and the MMRP.
Public Outreach.
This is a public hearing item. Notices of the VTTM approval request and City Council public hearing were published in the Santa Maria Times and mailed to all property owners within a 300- foot radius of the project site as required by the City's Zoning Code.

VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 29,065
(2021-098-TTM)
GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. Project Description: Subject to the conditions set forth below, this permit authorizes Tract 29,065 for the subdivision of that certain 21.8-acre Lot 1 in Master Parcel Map Tract 29,063 by Application No. 2021-098-TTM, on file with the City of Guadalupe. The tract map consists of three sheets, last revised on December 29, 2022. As noted, Lot 1 of Master Parcel Map 29,063 is approximately 21.8 acres and is proposed to be subdivided by Tract 29,065 into 98 single-family home lots. As specified by the DJ Farms Specific Plan the lots are zoned for R-1-5000 single-family detached residential use at a minimum lot size of 5000 square-feet. The project also proposes a park site, four lots for low impact development (LID) infiltration basins, and an open space lot.
The developer will install the associated streets and utilities to serve to subdivision.
As part of the regional drainage for the Pasadera development, a drainage basin is proposed to be constructed on Lot 2 as shown on Master Parcel Map 29,063. The basin will be fully installed and functioning prior to the first occupancy issuance.
Access to the development will be from Obispo Street north of the Santa Maria Valley Railroad (SMVRR). A new bridge will be constructed to extend Obispo Street over the railroad tracks. The Obispo Street bridge will be fully constructed by the developer and operational prior to the first occupancy for the homes south of the railroad. The Arroyo Seco Street bridge will, provide secondary access; and will be installed and operational before occupancy of the 210th dwelling. The Obispo Street bridge is currently under review by the Union Pacific Railroad. While the bridge is under structural design review and construction, this Map is conditioned to require the project developer to provide written authorization or other acceptable verification to the City Engineer authorizing the use of any temporary access route for construction.
The Developer has submitted a copy of the signed Farm Road Agreement with the property owners which demonstrates temporary use of a private road is authorized.
The temporary construction access route, extending along a farm road from Brown Road, approximately 1.5 mile south of the project site, is deemed to be acceptable by the City Engineer. The Fire Department has stated the length and condition of the Farm Access Road is not suitable to accommodate emergency vehicle access.
Therefore, temporary construction shall be limited only to grading, underground utilities, and other surface improvements. No “vertical construction” shall commence, and no single-family home building permits shall be issued until the Obispo Street bridge is fully operational or another emergency access route has been approved by the Fire Department.

The Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the referenced project, which consists of the subdivision of a 21.8-acre parcel, located in the south portion of the DJ Farms Specific Plan area, into 98 lots for single family residential units and four common lots for public facilities and open space. The parcel is zoned R-1-5000 & PF, identified in the Assessor Parcel Map Book as APN 113-080-018, and is located on the east side of Highway 1 and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks and south of the Union Pacific/Santa Maria Valley Railroad tracks in the City of Guadalupe.
The proposed project is subject to the following regulatory requirements that should be included as conditions of approval in the applicable land use permit:
1. All portable diesel-fired construction engines rated at 50 brake horsepower or greater must have either statewide Portable Equipment Registration Program (PERP) certificates or District permits prior to grading/building permit issuance. Construction engines with PERP certificates are exempt from the District permit, provided they will be on-site for less than 12 months.
