5. PRESENT PROCLAMATION TO LILIANA CARDENAS
Mayor Julian read the proclamation expressing appreciation for her service as Council Member of the City of Guadalupe.

A portion of the proclamation read as follows: She was elected to serve in December 2018 and has dedicated four (4) years to the City, influencing growth and development in the City through commitment to her constituents and community as a whole.

Her level of commitment and kind service brought to Guadalupe will forever be the benchmark for future efforts to grow and sustain a solid city financial base. She made it a priority to translate in English and Spanish for monolingual Spanish speakers when they addressed the council members and staff in their native language.

Council Member Cardenas has brought respect, honor, and integrity to the City of Guadalupe, and various Committees and Commissions, by leading by example, exhibiting the highest level of ethics and maintaining a superior moral character. The City benefitted from her commitment of personal time, energy, knowledge, and strength in numerous matters and by her willingness to commit to difficult decisions which were in the City’s best interest.

In addition, Mayor Julian presented CM Cardenas with a plaque which expressed appreciation for her service from December 2018 to December 2022.

6. COUNCIL MEMBER LILIANA CARDENAS WILL BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK CM Cardenas said, “This is truly bittersweet. I have truly enjoyed my time here serving on the City Council. It has been an honor to have the opportunity to serve the community of Guadalupe as a City Council member. I thank the residents of Guadalupe for their trust in me for four (4) years. I hope to have represented you well. This is a group effort and these four (4) years as a council, along with staff, we have encountered many challenges and celebrated many accomplishments. Not to mention we went through a pandemic together.

So, we upgraded our parks, our downtown, our internal processes and much more. I believe in 2019 we passed about 400 resolutions or something like that, so we passed several, so we really hit the ground running. I must also mention that Guadalupe has the best streets in the County as well as the best Tobacco Ordinance. And I will also be taking some great wins like renovating our Le Roy Park.

I look forward to our next Council
December 13, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 14 …everything our staff will be doing. I’m excited for all of our next projects like the Royal Theatre and everything. So, thank you so much for this opportunity to serve you all. I will see you soon…this is not a good-bye. I will be sitting on the other side then. Thank you.” Mayor Julian added, “She didn’t say much about herself. She never does. When she was a little kid, she helped build her home in Guadalupe. She probably couldn’t dig a hole or anything, but she helped her family build their home in Guadalupe. She also actually lived in Brazil for a little bit.

People don’t know that. She was also President of the first Guadalupe Lions Club and still active.

She’s president of that group.

Going through her education, she’s completed her master’s degree in business administration. She’s a professional person. She’s an example of what Guadalupe is about. Given the opportunity to grow and given the opportunity for education, she sets the tone for a lot of people who reside in Guadalupe. She’s an example of what can happen to all of our residents. I appreciate your time here.”

7. SWEARING IN OF NEWLY ELECTED OFFICIALS

Re-Elected Mayor Ariston Julian

8. ELECTED OFFICERS TO BE SEATED AND GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK CM Costa, Jr.: “Thank you for the citizens who re-elected me, and I hope I can continue on. In the last four (4) years, we did a lot. The next four (4) years we can keep it rolling. Thank you.” City Treasurer Michaud: “I just want to thank the citizens of Guadalupe that still show trust in me to continue as City Treasurer.”
Mayor Julian: “These are my last two (2) years. Get ready…in a couple of years for the mayor’s position. I will do all I can to make sure everybody moves forward.” CM Hernandez: “I’m grateful to be sitting here with you all. I am a longtime resident of the City of Guadalupe. I am the first-generation Latina. My grandfather moved to the City of Guadalupe to find opportunity for his children and grandchildren to find a better tomorrow. I have worked in nonprofits for the last ten (10) years. Being a member of our community and working for organizations allowed me to learn where my passion is. It allows me, as a council member, to know the needs of the community which is why I chose to serve in this capacity.

I am also a mother, daughter, and sister. It is important that we help create a civic connection, build trust, and continue to help to connect the thoughts and needs to the democratic experience and the leaders of tomorrow. I hope to bring passion to bring community members and organizations December 13, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 14 together and hope to bring equity to all. I look forward to serving the City as the next council member.

10. CEREMONIAL CALENDAR
a. Proclamation – Lorena Zarate, Finance Director

A portion of the proclamation read as follows: Ms. Zarate was hired in November 2019 as Finance Director. As such, she did an excellent job overseeing the various functions of the Finance Department. She has displayed exceptional professional ability as Finance Director leading the department through many changes and developments.

CM Robles read the proclamation honoring the 2022 Central Coast Youth Foodball League Super Bowl Champions, Guadalupe Bulldogs, and Bulldogs Cheer Team.

A portion of the proclamation read as follows: The Guadalupe Bulldogs have been up and running since 2005. They had a fantastic season and won the Central Coast Youth Football League Super Bowl. The tam, coaches, parents, and family members served as examples of hard work and team spirit to achieve success both on and off the field.

PUBLIC HEARING

15. Public Hearing to consider amendments to the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance (Chapter

18.53) and approve a Notice of Exemption under CEQA.

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 1) approve a Notice of Exemption from CEQA for Ordinance No. 2022-506; and 2) introduce by title only and waive the first reading of Ordinance No. 2022-506 amending Chapter 18.53 of the Municipal Code; and
c. Continue Ordinance No. 2022-506 to January 10, 2023, for second reading and adoption.

Mr. Appel gave a brief background on the amendments to the Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance to be considered. In 2018 and 2019, staff updated the accessory dwelling unit (ADU) chapter of the Guadalupe Municipal Code (GMC). Other amendments to the State regulations have required additional revisions to the City’s local ordinance. In September this year, the governor signed two (2) bills which further reduced the ability of a local agency to regulation ADUs and Junior ADUs.

Staff has amended the local ordinance three (3) times in the last five (5) years. This current amendment relaxes height and setback requirements along with a few other changes. The state is trying to increase the height of attached and detached units. The GMC limits heights to 16 feet.

The amended ordinance would allow ADUs on single family lots to be raised to 18 feet, if the property is within ½ mile of a “major transit stop or high-quality transit corridor”, which is not the same thing as “public transit” as defined in the Government Code. The staff does not believe that local developers will be able to increase the height of detached ADUs within the City under the newly adopted statutes (except on lots zoned for multifamily with existing or proposed two-story buildings). A multi-family unit can have 18 feet; can exceed 16 feet and can go up to 25 feet.

Mr. Appel further discussed two new definitions that the state required, “Objective Standards and Permitting Agency”. Staff added one more, “Complete Application”. This was done because of new requirements for reporting back to an applicant when an application is not complete for processing.

It will distinguish the difference between 1) an application submittal being complete, and 2) reviewing the application to determine Application Completeness.

Some other changes discussed were: owner-occupied units; ADUs in multi-family buildings; Junior ADU shared restroom; parking exemptions, and encroachment into front yard setbacks. The state is December 13, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 14 allowing the City to charge ADU applicants an additional fee to cover administrative costs of updating GMC Chapter 18.53.

Mr. Appel said that the state has a provision that states that if the local agency has not adopted a revised ordinance and submitted to HCD by January 1, 2023, that HCD has the ability to deem the local agency’s ordinance null and void. HCD was contacted explaining that the January 1st deadline could not be met with only one meeting scheduled for December. The second reading would occur at the January 10, 2023 meeting. HCD replied stating the City would no lose control of our local ADU ordinance and our timing is fine.

Public Hearing opened at 7:26 p.m. No comments. Public Hearing closed at 7:27 p.m.

Motion was made by Council Member Costa, Jr and seconded by Council Member Robles to continue Ordinance No. 2022-506 to January 10, 2023 for second reading and adoption. Roll Call:

Ayes: 4 Nos: 0 4-0 Motion passed.

16. Public Hearing to consider a Notice of Exemption under CEQA, Design Review (2022-056-DR), and Conditional Use Permit (2022-66 CUP) to allow the 849 Pioneer Street Apartments, an eight-unit apartment project on a 0.28-acre property in the G-C (General Commercial) zoning district at 849 Pioneer Street (APN 115-091-008).

Written report: Bill Scott, City Planner
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 present the proposed project, and 2) receive any comments from the public; and c. Adopt Resolution No. 2022-108 approving Design Review 2022-056-DR, Conditional Use Permit 2022-066-CUP and a CEQA Notice of Exemption for the 849 Pioneer Street Apartment project. (Prior to the discussion of this item, CM Robles recused himself.) The property site at 840 Pioneer Street is on the northwesterly edge of the City on the west side of Pioneer Street. There is an existing home and garage which will be demolished for the project’s 8- unit apartments. The property is bounded by lands in unincorporated Santa Barbara County on the northwesterly and southwesterly sides. A narrow (20-foot wide) strip of unincorporated County land is adjacent on the northeasterly side of the project site.

There will be four (4) buildings. Two (2) buildings will be over carports. These upper-level apartments will have two-three bedrooms. The first-floor apartments will have three bedrooms. Each unit in the complex will have either a private deck or a private yard. A total of 16 parking spaces will be provided, two (2) in the carports and four (4) uncovered parking spaces. (Normally parking spaces would not be put in front of the buildings but the Guadalupe Municipal Code allows it.) There will December 13, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 9 of 14 be landscaping in front of the parking. There will be new walls and low walls in front by the parking spaces.

This project is in compliance of with the Guadalupe Municipal Code regarding density, building setbacks, private yards, landscape, walls, and parking. One area that needs attention and will be in conformance is “Access”. The Fire Department requires a 20-foot driveway. It currently is 19-feet but will be widened to 21-feet. It supports General Plan objectives to re-use underutilized properties in locations where City services are already in place. It will add eight (8) multi-family housing units in convenient proximity to public transit and the downtown area. The apartment project is expected to provide a quality living environment for residents and should be a good addition to the neighborhood. This apartment project is exempt from CEQA: Class 32 Exemption.

Public Hearing opened at 6:53 p.m.

Mr. Appel commented that part of his presentation tonight (Item #15) dealt with Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). He said, “The state is allowing a number of new uses of multi-family properties. You can convert boiler rooms, garages, etc. There was a problem earlier in the year involving the Snowy Plover area. Architects showed they were going to convert to ADUs. Once you convert parking spaces, you don’t have to provide parking. The owner may want to convert parking, carport to ADUs.

I’d suggest adding a provision that parking spaces not be converted to ADUs.” Public Hearing closed at 6:56 p.m.

Mr. Horstman, applicant/designer MW Architects, questioned Fire Department Condition #57. Public Safety Impact Fee. He questioned the language in that condition stating, “The applicant shall pay the required public safety fees to the City of Guadalupe as deemed necessary by the City of Guadalupe Fire Department prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy”. Chief Cash responded, “That’s standard language for impact fees. Paying for public safety requirements.” City Attorney Sinco then said, “I didn’t see this condition prior to tonight. I’m sympathetic on the term, ‘…as deemed necessary’.” It’s too vague. It needs to be grounded in some metrics…justified by some factual basis. Chief Cash is correct but can’t just say ‘as deemed necessary’.” Then Chief Cash added, “We used the same language on the Escalante Project. That’s how Fund 76 resulted.

Have put language in to have discussion because the City doesn’t have an ordinance now.” There was further discussion on rewording parts of Condition #57. Mayor Julian said that it seems that the applicant is agreeable to negotiate. City Attorney then suggested revised wording to read, “The project applicant shall pay a fee to benefit public safety based on identifiable impacts of the project on public safety at the time of issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.” Mr. Scott said, “There’s another condition to be added. All required parking shall remain for the life of the project. The wording is, ‘No conversion of garages or carports shall be permitted for development of ADUs in order to remain compatible with the surrounding neighborhood’. This new December 13, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 10 of 14 condition, shown under the heading, ‘City Council Condition’, as Condition #64. will be at the end of all the Conditions of Approval.”
Motion was made by Council Member Costa, Jr. and seconded by Council Member Hernandez to adopt Resolution No. 2022-108 approving Design Review 2022-056-DR, Conditional Use Permit 2022-066-CUP and a CEQA Notice of Exemption with revised language to Condition of Approval #57. and added Condition of Approval #64. for the 849 Pioneer Street Apartment project. Roll Call: Ayes: Julian, Costa, Jr. and Hernandez
Recusal: 1 Robles
3-0 Motion passed.

17. Appointment of two vacant seats for a four-year term to the Recreation and Parks Commission.

Written report: Hannah Sanchez, Recreation Services Manager Recommendation: That the City Council appoint the two interested individuals for a four-year term to the Recreation and Parks Commission to fill the vacant seats.

A notice was posted for 30 days showing two vacant seats and the process to apply with a letter of interest. There were two (2) applicants: Michael Jimenez and Trevor Lamberson.

Mr. Lamberson was present at the meeting. He said, “I’ve been a resident of Guadalupe for one (1) year. I love being a part of the community and I love sports. I want to grow the community. I don’t see a lot of people out and about. I want to see more people outside and active.” Motion was made by Council Member Robles and seconded by Council Member Costa, Jr. to appoint Mr. Trevor Lamberson and Mr. Michael Jimenez to fill the two (2) vacant seats on the Recreation and Parks Commission for a four-year term each. 4-0 Motion passed.

18. City Council vacancy.

Written report: Todd Bodem, City Administrator
Recommendation: That the City Council:
a. Consider the selection of some, or all, interested city residents to interview in open session at the January 10, 2023, City Council meeting (where the Council will select one of these persons to fill the remainder of former Councilmember Ramirez’ term); or, b. Continue its deliberations/selection to the next meeting on January 10, 2023, and make the selection at the January 24, 2023, meeting; or,
c. Reject all the applicants and call for a special election to fill the vacancy.

Mr. Bodem gave a brief background on this item. Council Member Antonio Ramirez resigned as of 11/29/2022. This was half-way through his four-year term which ends 12/03/2024. A notice was posted regarding this vacancy and the process to follow to apply before the deadline date of December 13, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 11 of 14 12/06/2022. Five (5) letters of interest were received by the City Administrator. One applicant, Jesus Gomez, dropped out. The City Council could choose an applicant tonight or have the remaining applicants come back to the next meeting on 1/10/2023. The Government Code states that the City Council must fill a vacant seat within 60 days after the seat becomes vacant either by making an appointment or calling for a special election. With Council Member Ramirez’ resignation date of 11/29/2022, the Council must make an appointment to fill the vacancy no later than 1/28/2023.

Mayor Julian said, “I’d have the four (4) applicants…would ask them to come to the January 10th meeting. The City Council would look at five (5) of the 15 proposed questions which are attached to the staff report. The four (4) applicants would be given about 15 minutes to answer those five (5) questions.” The mayor asked the council members if they concurred. There was consensus to have the four (4) applicants return to the January 10th meeting.

19. Establishment of eligibility list for commercial cannabis business permit applicants.

Written report: Todd Bodem, City Administrator
Recommendation: That the City Council, by motion, approve the proposed Eligibility List Policy and Procedures document, and the placing of the three commercial cannabis business permit applicants not selected as prevailing candidates on an eligibility list.

At the April 12, 2022 City Council meeting, the City Council decided to select only two (2) applicants to move forward in the process of applying for and obtaining retail CCB permits. The Council selected SloCal Roots Management LLC dba Root One as one of these “prevailing candidates” (the term used in Chapter 9 of the Guadalupe Municipal Code). A second prevailing candidate was not selected at this meeting, due to the lack of majority support for any of the four (4) remaining CCB permit applicants. However, two (2) of the remaining (4) CCB permit applicants were selected to return to make another presentation.

On April 26, 2022, those two CCB permit applicants, BDSF 1Holdings LLC dba Element 7 Guadalupe (“Element 7”) and LGBA Management LLC dba The Roots Dispensary (“The Roots Dispensary”) gave presentations. “Element 7” was then selected as the second “prevailing candidate. However, City Attorney Sinco stated that a procedural irregularity requires the City Council to consider rescinding the selection of “Element 7”. At the July 12, 2022 meeting, the City Council voted to rescind its selection of “Element 7”. After a second presentation by “Element 7” and “The Roots Dispensary” on August 16 2022, the Council selected “Element 7”
At the September 13, 2022 City Council meeting, it was subsequently recommended that the three (3) unsuccessful applicants be denied their applications but be put on an eligibility list for future consideration should one (1) or both of the prevailing candidates fail to meet the remaining requirements. In addition to establishing an eligibility list, the City Council gave staff direction to develop a timeline in which the prevailing candidates needed to meet remaining requirements.

December 13, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 12 of 14 Mr. Bodem said, “Upon approval by the City Council, the three (3) remaining applicants not selected would be put on his eligibility list and ranked. We will come back with an ordinance on timeline for selected prevailing candidates to open their businesses.” Mayor Julian said, “I really want to get to the timeline. Nothing is happening now.” City Attorney Sinco said, “We will create an eligibility list along with timelines. HDL advised us that that would require an ordinance change. Also, Mr. Bodem said in his City Administrator report that the eligibility list would have ranking. We don’t need ranking as the Council had agreed that all applicants had passed.”
Motion was made by Council Member Costa, Jr. and seconded by Council Member Hernandez to approve the proposed Eligibility List Policy and Procedure and placing the three (3) applicants not selected as prevailing applicants. 4-0 Motion passed.

20. Transit update.

Written report: Shannon Sweeney, Public Works Director / City Engineer Recommendation: That the City Council receive the report for information, general discussion, and input.

On January 12, 2020, the City Council adopted the Short-Range Transit Plan (SEP). This document was the culmination of public outreach and evaluation of existing transit services and can be found on the City’s website at www.ci.guadalupe.ca.us under Miscellaneous Documents.

On July 1, 2022, changes were implemented. The existing on-demand shuttle service was eliminated.

Two fixed routes were established: 1) a local route that runs every half hour through Guadalupe, and 2) an express route that runs hourly between the City of Guadalupe Amtrak station and the City of Santa Maria transit station. Both routes meet up at the City of Guadalupe Amtrak station at the bottom of the hour.

City staff had gathered data to evaluate the success of these changes. Success is defined as improved ridership without loss of revenue. From July to October, data was shown. For the first three (3) months, ridership was down. However, in October, ridership and revenue were back up as compared to October 2019. The City had initially provided free transfers between two routes, but due to abuse, that changed to offering day passes for unlimited rides. The ridership for seniors was down and staff is working with Los Amigos de Guadalupe to encourage public transit use to the Senior Center for daily meals.

Ms. Sweeney requested direction from the City Council on two (1) items: 1) due to a residential complaint, move the bus stop at W. Main Street and Montez Street to be closer to the shopping center, and 2) Amtrak improvements: go forward with improvements using AHSC grant funding, $450,000 or wait to apply for additional funding through Clean California Cycle 2, applications due mid-2023, which would put off any improvements. There was consensus from the City Council to: 1) December 13, 2022 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 13 of 14 not move the bus stop at W. Main Street and Montez Streets, and 2) wait to be able to add more improvements to the Amtrak station.

A height of 25 feet or the height limitation in the local zoning ordinance shall apply to the primary dwelling, whichever is lower, for an accessory dwelling unit that is attached to a primary dwelling. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a height of 18 feet for a detached accessory dwelling unit on a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily, multistory dwelling shall be allowed. This clause shall not require the City to allow an accessory dwelling unit to exceed two stories.

Ordinance No. 2022-506 Page 6

A. Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and JADUs shall be permitted ministerially through the zoning clearance and building permit process. The City shall act on the application to create an ADU or a JADU within 60 days from the date the City receives a completed application if there is an existing single-family or multifamily unit on the lot. If the permit application to create an ADU or JADU is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family dwelling on the lot, the permitting agency may delay acting on the permit application for the ADU or JADU until the permitting agency acts on the permit application to create the new single-family dwelling or multifamily unit, but the application to create the ADU or JADU shall be considered without discretionary review or hearing. If the applicant requests a delay, the 60-day time period shall be tolled for the period of the delay, in compliance with this chapter within 60 days of the filing of a complete application. The applicant shall be informed within 30 days after submission of an application if the application is complete. The Planning Director or designee shall issue zoning clearance to establish an ADU and/or JADU in compliance with this chapter if all applicable requirements in this chapter are met, as appropriate. An application for building permit may be submitted at any time during the processing of the ADU application, but under no circumstances shall it be issued prior to zoning clearance approval. The local agency may charge ADU applicants an additional fee to cover administrative costs of updating Chapter 18.53 from time to time. This fee shall be set by a City Council resolution.

B. Planning Director. Requests for an ADU or JADU shall be reviewed by the Planning Director or designee.

C. If a permitting agency denies an application for an ADU or JADU, the permitting agency shall, within the time period described in Section 18.53.060, return in writing a full set of comments to the applicant with a list of items that are defective or deficient and a description of how the applicant can be remedied by the applicant.

D. Other Review Authority. Requests for an ADU or JADU submitted for concurrent review with a discretionary land use application shall continue to be reviewed by the Director or designee and approved subsequent to the discretionary action.

E. Certificate of Occupancy. The City shall not issue a certificate of occupancy for an accessory dwelling unit before the City issues a certificate of occupancy for the primary dwelling.

18.53.080 Existing nonconforming
The City shall not require, as a condition for ministerial approval of a permit application for the creation of an ADU or a JADU, the correction of nonconforming zoning conditions, building code violations, or unpermitted structures elsewhere on the lot that do not present a threat to public health and safety and are not affected by the construction of the ADU.

Ordinance No. 2022-506 Page 8
SECTION 6. 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 §15306 of the CEQA Guidelines (Information Collection) because it does not have the potential to create a physical environmental effect.

Inspection Report - December 2022

1 Public Works/Engineering Report
December 2022
Development
Pasadera
On December 28, the City received updated information on the Flower Street water line installation. This project is awaiting Caltrans approval for the encroachment permit to cross Highway 166.
151 Obispo
City staff met with 151 Obispo business owners to discuss plans for meeting the City requirement that the substandard sewer line be addressed. After discussion, the business owners will be moving forward with downsizing their water meters to minimize the potential for overflowing the City’s sewer main.

Other
On November 1, staff reviewed one encroachment permit application.

On November 8, staff reviewed two encroachment permit applications.

City staff spent a considerable amount of time with Frontier Communications and their subcontractor Line Works on numerous encroachments associated with the installation of fiber-optic cable infrastructure for high-speed Internet. Encroachments that involved aerial work were approved. Only one micro trenching encroachment permit will be approved at a time, as these projects are extremely disruptive to pedestrian and vehicular traffic. City staff met with the contractor in the field on November 2 for a preconstruction meeting and again on November 15 for project clarification. Field staff has needed to address safety issues with the contract foreman numerous times over the course of this project. In addition, the contractor did not complete the work in a satisfactory manner prior to the start of the paving project. As result, city staff has spent a considerable amount of time coordinating these two projects. While this encroachment has been challenging, City staff learned numerous improvements and protections to include in future encroachment permits for this type of work.

Agenda Item No. 6G 3.
2 On December 1, staff signed the offsite public improvements required for the LaGuardia townhomes project. The site improvements include upsizing downstream sewer line from 6-inch diameter to 8-inch diameter as required for multifamily housing and installation of sidewalk along LaGuardia connect the People’s Self-Help Project to existing sidewalk on Gularte.

General
Frontier Communications
On December 1, the City received permission from Frontier Communications to paint the electrical box on 9th Street east of Guadalupe Street. This box has been tagged with graffiti for some time.

Trees
The City received two quotes for Guadalupe Street tree trimming on December 1, ranging from $17,925.00 to $18,525.00 for maintenance on 55 trees. ACE Tree Service began work on December 22. Work is expected to continue through the month of January. This work requires coordination with Caltrans as these trees are in the Caltrans right-of-way.

Special projects

Parks
Central Park
Staff worked with the design consultant for the Central Park Renovation Project on several items in the month of December, including monthly progress and update to the Recreation Commission. On December 29, the consultant provided the conceptual design package along with an updated assessment. The cost estimate is above the grant amount so City staff will be working with the consultant to adjust costs to stay within the grant amount.

On November 28, City staff submitted a payment request in the amount of $99,700 to the California Department of Parks and Recreation for reimbursement of costs to date on the Central Park Renovation Project.

Streets
2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project
Construction on this project began on December 5. Concrete work was scheduled to be completed during the month of December, with pavement rehabilitation scheduled for the month of January. However, significant rain events the last week of December have greatly impacted the schedule. The consultant has requested and staff have approved numerous rain days, which will extend this project well into February. This project has required significant staff attention due to several curb ramp redesigns, unanticipated underground conditions, rescheduling due to rain, the holidays, supply chain issues (the asphalt plant shut down because of equipment failure on a critical business day), and trying to accommodate the installation of conduit and fiber optics for high-speed Internet in the same location so that brand-new asphalt will not need to be torn up just after installation. To add to the challenge, the subcontractor to Frontier Communications 5 performed subpar work, much of which needs to be redone to meet City standards or even their own plans.

LaGuardia sidewalk installation
On December 1 staff approved the LaGuardia townhomes offsite public improvements drawings, including sidewalk along LaGuardia connecting the Peoples Help project to the existing sidewalk on Gularte.

Transit
EV buses
Staff continues to work with the bus manufacturer on details associated with the electric bus, including arrangements for temporary charging and bus painting. Current estimate is that this bus will be ready for delivery at the beginning of February.

Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan
City staff completed the TAM plan and uploaded it to the transit website Blackcat on December 1. This document was first created in 2010 is required to be updated a minimum of once every four years. The City received word on December 28 that the submitted plan was deemed complete and does not need to be redone until October 2026.

Water
AMI
$200,000 for the automated metering infrastructure (AMI) project phase 1 is budgeted in the fiscal year 22 – 23 budget. A critical element of this project is to convert the 503 meters in routes eight and nine that are manual read and are not compatible with the automated meter reading technology, which is needed to work with AMI. This work was already anticipated and budgeted for this project. The expense to purchase these meters is $87,016.32. City staff is sole-sourcing this purchase so that these meters are compatible with all of the other meters in the water system that are Sensus auto read. City staff will install the meters. Once installed, the City will save an estimated four workdays per month by converting these meters from manual read to auto read, and save even more staff time once AMI is fully implemented. Meters were ordered on November 10 and were delivered mid-December.

Obispo Well
On December 5, the shaft seal was replaced on Obispo Well.

State Water
State Water was unavailable the entire month of November due to a Central Coast Water Authority (CCWA) shutdown for maintenance work on the facilities associated with treatment and delivery of this water supply. Due to the length of this outage, the water in 6 the approximately 5 miles of pipe from the turnout to the City no longer met drinking water standards. When the State Water system was put back online on December 22, City staff drew highly disinfected water into the pipe while discharging existing nonpotable and unchlorinated water to the storm drain. Once the disinfectant residual drops down to acceptable levels, the water will be drawn into the City’s distribution system and normal operations will resume. Water operators Jaime Vidales and Joe Sagisi were incredibly flexible during this holiday week and changed their work days to accommodate the changing schedule caused by a math error on the part of CCWA staff.

On December 1, CCWA project participants were informed that the initial State Water allocation for 2023 is 5%. This is good news, as there was some indication that we would receive no allocation because of low reservoir levels. Since December 1, snowfall in northern California has been higher than average, increasing the potential for higher allocation.

Wastewater
Regulatory
One very small overflow occurred in December 2022 on December 24. Foam was observed coming out of a manhole downstream of Taylor Farms. It was determined that the foam was due to cleaning products. The overflow volume is estimated to be less than 1 gallon.

As of January 3, the wastewater treatment plant had no violations the month of December (some December lab reports still pending).

On December 16, the City received a revised Monitoring and Reporting Program from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Board) that is to be implemented by January 1, 2023. Not only does the revised program involves significant changes to sampling locations, methodology, and constituents, the Board only gave the City two weeks to implement the revised plan, during a time of significant staff holiday and vacation. Despite these challenges, staff will implement these changes as required. Staff was notified the Board that the new effluent sample locations are not representative of the water leaving the plant, and will result in apparent violations in effluent water quality where none exist.

We have already requested that the Board provide adequate time for the City’s consultant to prepare technical memo evaluating our discharge sample point. This was communicated again to the board in an email on December 22 that said:

The City will conduct the grab sampling starting January 1 as indicated in the revised MRP. Please note that as mentioned before, the effluent sample points you have identified at the end of each of the processes are not representative of the discharge of this plant and should not be considered compliance points. The City has requested that the Regional Board consider the effluent monitoring manhole, which is a blend of 7 the two treatment processes. The Regional Board responded with a request for a signed and stamped memo indicating that this sample point is representative of the blend of the two treatment processes. To this end, the City has retained a consultant to conduct this evaluation. See attached agreement. By March 1, 2023, this memo is scheduled to be completed, at which point the City respectfully requests that the Regional Board reconsider the effluent manhole as the compliance point.

In addition, the City was issued a Notice of Violation of its sewer collection system on December 19 for having sewer overflows between April 15, 2008 and January 28, 2021, for not having a fats, oils, and grease control program, for not updating its sanitary sewer management plan, for not auditing its sanitary sewer management plan, and for not having records of training. This Notice of Violation follows an inspection held on September 26, 2022. Staff explained to the regulator that we have been focusing our energies on reducing overflows (replacing 3000 feet of sewer main, installing sewer monitors to minimize overflows, and moving forward on Highway 1 Lift Station replacement) and reducing effluent violations of the wastewater treatment plant (fixing grit system, cleaning Biolac basin, reinstituting AIPS system, and replacing aerators), and the remaining items were in progress. The Board wants these items now. City staff will need to prioritize these items requested by the Board.

Aerators
As reported last month, the second of three aerators failed in the Advanced Integrated Pond System (AIPS). $48,000 is available in this year’s fiscal budget to replace a minimum of two aerators. Staff had been working with PG&E in an attempt to obtain a rebate for purchasing new more energy efficient aerators. However, the latest failure means we no longer have the time to work through that rebate process. On December 28, staff reviewed the data already provided by the consultant, and because of the variability in the design of available aerators, found it difficult to compare them on an equivalent basis. To compare them side-by-side, staff compared six different aerators on a cost per pounds oxygen transferred per hour. This cost ranged from $289.82 to $928.29 per pound O2 delivered per hour. The least expensive option at a cost of $13,041.73 per aerator is well within the budgeted amount. Staff ordered two units on December 29 to replace the two failed units. These aerators are expected to be installed by the end of January. Wastewater operator Devin Valdivia did a considerable amount of work on this project confirming suitability of the chosen product, verifying adequate power requirements, purchasing appropriate ancillary equipment, and checking with his online wastewater group for any reviews on the chosen aerator manufacturer.

Effluent Pump Station Rehabilitation
This project involves the rehabilitation of the effluent pump station at the wastewater treatment plant. Project construction began in earnest once PG&E disconnected power on December 9. The majority of this project was scheduled to be completed in early 8 January; however, inclement weather may delay completion. In the meantime, the effluent pump station is not functioning, making this project vital at this time.

Highway 1 Lift Station Rehabilitation
In December, City staff continued to work with the design consultant on some final details associated with this project. This project is scheduled to be advertised for construction January 6. Current engineer’s estimate for this project is $1,260,000.00 9 Project

HAPPY NEW YEAR – 2023!

1. Potential Offsite Sign Locations – Dunes Center
The Contract City Planner, Councilmember Hernandez, Mayor, and City Administrator met with the Dunes Center Executive Director to review the City's Sign Code, as it relates to the Dune Center Grant and offsite signage for a grant supporting the proposed project. The signage is to direct people to the Dunes, etc. It has come to staff’s attention a "maximum" of four signs can be allowed. The four-sign maximum includes any signs already on the Dunes Center property. Therefore, if there are already two signs existing at the Dunes Center, only (2) two additional signs can be allowed in other City owned locations. Also, only the City can place signs in the public street rights-of-way and city owned property. Therefore, signs along streets, in parkways or medians, will likely not be permitted. According to the City Planner, the Dunes Center has a unique and imaginative sign program, and the city knows these regulations can be a bit complicated to sort out. More working being done on this exciting project……

2. Office of Assemblymember Gregg Hart
California State Assembly, District 37 Office Assemblymember Gregg Hart’s team contacted the City Administrator and said they are here to assist the City of Guadalupe with any State issues or items of regional interest. Their team will reach out to the city to set up a meeting soon. In the meantime, they suggested that city staff contact Hart if there are any ways that they can be helpful to you. We’ll do the same.

3. HWY 1 – Caltrans Guadalupe Street ADA Project: Letter Campaign For the past year or two, the City and Guadalupe Business Association (GBA) has been working on requests for changes to Guadalupe Street that would make it safer for cars, bicycles, pedestrians, and buses in addition to laying the groundwork for high-speed Broadband and the beautification of that street. To address these improvements to Guadalupe Street, the City is making a number of requests to Caltrans as part of their upcoming ADA/Streets Project of Guadalupe Street. Get it done at the same time.

Several in the City want these changes to Guadalupe Street but to date Caltrans has disregarded all these improvements. Shannon Sweeney, the Public Work Director for the City has asked if the GBA could get people to sign letters to show Caltrans that the community cares about what will be done!
Agenda Item No. 7
The opportunity to make these changes will close once Caltrans "finalizes" their ADA project's scope of work. The next opportunity might be years away. Council needs to have an official review of this.

4. January 5th Guadalupe Foodbank
Due to an anticipated rain event, the food distribution was modified, and a plan of action was contemplated on how to keep providing food commodities to residents in anticipation of the projected rain and wind. Therefore, on Thursday, the trucks were unloaded and bagged for a food distribution to be held on Saturday, January 7 between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.

5. Welcoming Military Personnel for Christmas (12-17-2022) Below is the very nice message from the Mayor expressing a thank you to Chief Michael Cash and others for spearheading the December 17, 2022 Welcoming of the nations Military Personnel held at the Vets Hall.
“Good Morning:

Chief Cash as the “Point of the Spear” and the cast of many others, deserves a great deal of gratitude and thanks for the exceptional event this past Saturday hosting local Vandenberg and Guardian personnel at the Guadalupe Veterans Building. The local young Airmen and Women who attended made me feel very proud of our community and how it could hold hands to recognize and support those serving our country. And as significant was the fact that local veterans in attendance saluted those currently serving for their commitment to serving our nation. Personally, it brought me back 54 years ago when far away from home on the Christmas holidays sitting in my frozen Illinois barracks wishing I was home with family. The event this past Saturday, welcomed those service people to our home, their home, in Guadalupe.

I was very impressed with your efforts, Chief Cash, in bringing together those from many segments of our community, veterans, private citizens, the old and the young, to help lift up our service people during the Holidays. You, Chief Cash, brushed aside political side bars to focus on welcoming everyone to Guadalupe, and to the Veterans Building: It was especially important to open up our local Veterans building to provide words of gratitude, great food prepared by Marcos and a literal army of helpers who were all instrumental in welcoming troops from Texas, Maine, Indiana, Los Angeles, Florida, Washington, etc., and other parts of this great nation.

The Saturday event also dovetailed into the wreath laying at the local Cemetery, which also brought a community together for the purpose of recognizing not only the current enlisted personnel but to thank our brother and sister veterans who were also present and those who have passed.

To this last point of local Veterans attending, how much powerful a tribute can one has when we have the local Donut Group in attendance, the CCVVA representatives in attendance to recognize our Vandenberg brothers and sisters, but also to have Mr. Harry Masatani bless this event with his attendance? A special “salute” to the CCVVA group in attendance and to announce on 12/10/22 that those veterans who were able, to attend this past Saturday’s tribute welcoming of our local enlisted personnel. We know that more CCVVA would have been attending in mass but were serving the local veterans with wreath laying at the Arroyo Grande Cemetery. A thanks to Deek and the CCVVA for recognizing every enlisted person, every veteran, and every family member of the latter.

Chief Cash, you pulled off an event with perfection by coordinating with the help of others, of course:

We all know that you were the “Ring Master, Point of the Spear” to make this happen. When you can “encourage” city Public Safety, Parks and Recreation, City council representatives, Rancho Guadalupe Historical Society, The Dunes Center, and the general public, to break bread and not heads, this is a great accomplishment.

Thanks again Chief Cash for your service far above the “Call of Duty” to make this happen. Equally, thanks to all of you who helped make this a very important event and message that Guadalupe and Santa Maria Valley residents, support our enlisted personnel and all veterans.

To all, God Bless, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year……...”

6. 3CE 2022 Year in Review.

a. Five generation facilities coming online – Geothermal, Wind, Solar Plus Storage b. Expansion to the City of Atascadero
c. Finalizing a new energy storage agreement with an emerging technology in support of our increasingly renewable grid
d. Expanding our analytic capabilities through new partnerships and recasting our Energy Risk Management reporting
e. Approving a new investment strategy
f. Reimagining 3CE’s website and social media engagement g. Driving significant engagement with Energy Programs and managing 3CE’s most significant program delivery to date
h. Developing and delivering on Member Agency Services and Programs i. Four separate all-electric new housing projects came online with 3CE funding j. Working with the CAC Chair to establish a Community Advisory Council Work Plan that focuses the CAC’s engagement

7. Finance Director
City staff has been interviewing for the vacant Finance Director position. A tentative offer has been made to a finalist. More to come as this process unfolds.

8. $1.5 Billion Available through the 2023 RAISE Grant Program, Now Accepting Applications! City staff, especially the Public Works Department, is looking at this infrastructure funding opportunity. The U.S. Department of Transportation has published a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for $1.5 billion in grant funding through the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) discretionary grant program for 2023.

The program helps communities around the country carry out projects with significant local or regional impact. RAISE discretionary grants help project sponsors at the State and local levels, including municipalities, Tribal governments, counties, and others complete critical freight and passenger transportation infrastructure projects.

Half of the FY23 RAISE funding will go to projects in rural areas and half of the funding will go to projects in urban areas. At least $15 million in funding is guaranteed to go towards projects located in Areas of Persistent Poverty or Historically Disadvantaged Communities, and projects located in these areas will be eligible for up to 100 percent federal cost share, as directed by Congress in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. As was the case last year, the Department is encouraging applicants to consider how their projects can address climate change, ensure racial equity, and remove barriers to opportunity.

For the FY 2023 RAISE Discretionary Grants, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) is offering a series of webinars that delve into various aspects of the RAISE application process. These webinars will be recorded and are a great resource for prospective RAISE applicants, as the webinars come from the funding source and share the guidance of USDOT.

Again, they are asking the city of Guadalupe to seek a Caltrans LOS for your RAISE application, please submit the following no later than COB Tuesday, January 10, 2023.

Only projects that are aligned with the Interim Caltrans System Investment Strategy (CSIS) will be considered. District Staff will review submissions and send candidate projects to HQ for consideration for a Caltrans LOS.

The Public Works Department is reviewing its infrastructure needs that meet the criteria of this grant.

9. Cannabis Program
Staff is currently working on developing a cost recovery community benefit analysis and a “CBA Fee” and “Annual Regulatory Fee” for full cost recovery of the applicant.

Once completed, HdL will finalize fee study, and staff will deliver an accompanying staff report and resolution that you can used to present to the City Council and the handling of the public notification for the fee hearing.

10. January 10th Cycle 6 Housing Element
Contract Planning Director and the Cycle 6 Housing Element Consultant are preparing for the workshop on January 10th @ 5 p.m., The Planning Director plans to have a short introduction of where we are in the process, approval of the 2019 Housing Element, and then introduce Dr. Cornelius Nuworsoo. Nuworsoo probably will highlight the changes the State HCD has required of us in this update.

11. Contract Planning Director New Year Ideas
The Contract Planning Director (Larry Appel) shared with the City his thoughts for 2023 in the planning department. See his ideas below:

Here are a few of Larry’s priority items:

A) Inform Mark Green, Building Official that with the adoption of the General Plan (GP), ALL new development in the City will need to be All Electric. This will only change after the City has an adopted Climate Action Plan (CAP). As you may recall Shannon submitted a grant for funding but didn't get it, so we're basically dead in the water until such time as we can fund one of these studies.

B) Consistency Rezone Program - Larry needs to prepare rezonings for every parcel in the city that received a new Land Use Designation through adoption of the GP. This is necessary for any future development. As it stands, if the property has zoning that is inconsistent with the GP designation, then it can't receive a zoning clearance or building permit. This is a top priority for Larry.

C) Housing Element - Our workshop is the first milestone for this project. Larry is working with Cornelius plus he has notified every housing agency in SB and SLO county that might have an interest in this update.

D) Organizing the GP's 42 required Programs - Larry will go over these programs and identify what he thinks are the top five or ten and then set a hearing with Council to see if they share his ideas of what should be worked on first.

E) Permanent Planner - Larry and the City Administrator, Todd Bodem feel it is in the best thing for the City to hire an in-house city planner. Larry and Todd do not feel the City will be able to find two more dedicated part time retired contractors as we now have. But the contract city planner, Bill Scott and Larry Appel will be retiring end of 2023. Larry mentioned how he would consider staying on, but in a much different role. He will retire at the end of 2023 from doing day to day planning (ministerial permits for paving and discretionary permits for projects) but be willing to continue with special projects that tie me down less than now.

He would anticipate continuing to implement the GP as well as updating the zoning ordinance where there are still many sections that have not been updated since 1980.

Staff analyzed data and determined that preliminary estimates show that hiring an in-house city planner will give the city 2080 hours of work versus the estimated 1040 hours provided by two contract planning staff (Bill and Larry) at virtually the same costs to the city.

Fiscal Impact: Virtually no increase in cost or budget amendments. When the new Finance Director is hired and acclimated, and during the mid-year budget review, city staff will present the option of recommending the hiring of an in-house city planner versus utilizing a consultant.

12. Royal Theater – Lot Merger
The City of Guadalupe will be merging two lots next to the Royal Theatre lot to create one lot in preparation of the capital project (renovation of the Royal Theatre with addition, new structure). For the EDA, the instructions/requirement is for Evidence of Good Title and a lotmerger is needed.

Just to clarify, no building permit can be issued for the new building since it crosses existing property lines, this merger is necessary.

13. Royal Theater Damage to Building due to rain.

On Wednesday, January 4, 2023, city staff noticed some exterior damage to the Royal Theater building. City staff resolved the issue for now which was a clog from the drainage system from a roof leak. Staff also reboarded up the window where the old boards rotted off. With the approaching storm, there will most likely be more water damage in other places inside as the Recreation and Parks Manager Hannah Sanchez also noted some water damage in one of the back hallways. Hannah will keep her eyes on Royal Theater Building in the next few weeks because of the weather. (Attachment1: Royal Theater Image of damage).

14. Japanese American Citizen League (JACL) Tour of the Royal Theater-Planning Meeting.

The Mayor, LADG and other representatives participated in a Zoom Meeting on March 2nd to discuss a Planning Tour with the JACL meeting. These folks who participated developed the following is the tentative Agenda for March 11:
• 8:30am: Japanese American Citizen League (JACL) will leave Thousands Oak (20).
• 11:00 Group with arrive via rented coach at the Guadalupe Senior Center. • 11:30am: Author (name?) to do a presentation on Japanese history in Guadalupe and surrounding area.
• 12:30pm: Lunch at the senior center (Buddhist temple and Santa Maria Japanese Community Center will be invite to all March 11 events, including lunch).
• 12:30 pm: Royal Theatre Project team will do a presentation on the Royal, status of renovations, and answer questions.
• 1:30pm: Walk to Royal Theatre for a tour.

Open: once JACL is finished with the Royal tour, the group will walk back to the Guadalupe Senior Center for travel back to Ventura County.

Follow up:
(LADG) will put a flyer together for everyone's review for approval. Several people will work with LADG staff to determine the lunch menu and the price per head. Tom Brandeberry will create a flyer.

15. Website Development Update for January 2023
The first draft of the City website has been completed. Arclight Media met with City staff on the morning of Tuesday, January 3, providing the City's departmental managers with an overall preview of the new site's graphic design and UX/UI (User Experience and User Interface) as well as providing a functional demonstration of site navigation. This walkthrough also provided staff with a blueprint for the addition of new or edited content as well as ideas of how to further organize departmental information for easy public consumption. Several comments and edits were suggested by staff. The next steps are to implement these requests and for Arclight Media meet with individual staff members to further define and or hone the specific content for a more refined second draft of the development site.

16. November and December Unsigned/Approved 2022 Recreation and Parks Commission Minutes.

Attachment 2, November minutes.

Attachment 3, December minutes.

17. RERC is Recreation Economy for Rural Communities.

Megan McConville, Senior Planning Consultant is working with LADG and the City. A RERC Guadalupe workshop on April 12-13, 2023, will be held. The City is excited to have this event on the calendar and to be moving forward with the planning effort What is RERC
LADG was awarded this opportunity last year and the city had a series of meetings with the EPA. The grant pays for expert consultants to work with a Guadalupe team to plan out how to take advantage of Guadalupe's surrounding environment to increase our recreational economy.

Attachment 4 is the application Tom Brandeberry submitted. The intent is to build out the community's goal of making Guadalupe a destination location. Just like getting the Royal Theater back in business, this has the possibility of bringing more people (and $$) to Guadalupe.

The EPA staff understands that Alejandra Mahoney is now managing this grant now that Tom is no longer the Executive Director.

Recreation Economy for Rural Communities (RERC) Program November 18, 2021
RE: Support for Los Amigos de Guadalupe’s RERC Application To Whom It May Concern,
On behalf of the Guadalupe Business Association, I write to express my strong support for Los Amigos de Guadalupe’s (LADG) RERC application. LADG has been an integral part of recent community improvements and has developed strong working relationships within the Guadalupe community. Along with ongoing development of the Resilience-Guadalupe plan, LADG has been vital to the development of the Guadalupe Business Association and has successfully gained almost $7M in grants for various projects in the city. One of those grants involves project management for the LeRoy Park and Community Center renovation, another is spearheading the renovation of the Royal Theatre, which has been closed as unsafe for over 10 years (and is presently in the design phase).

LADG has been a leading supporter of many recent Guadalupe planning efforts by leading and assisting with public outreach, organizing public meetings, and participating in local and regional planning efforts, from Mobility and Revitalization to the Santa Maria River Levee Trail, to the Trail to the Ocean, the County’s Recreational Master Plan, and the City General Plan Update, among many others.

Along with other community partners, LADG believes that the community has all the assets to be an extraordinary natural and cultural destination (the Guadalupe Dunes, Pacific Ocean, many original downtown buildings, excellent restaurants, and connections to points beyond via both the iconic California Highway 1 and Amtrak’s Surfliner & Coastal Starlight route in addition to the Santa Maria Valley Railroad’s historic route); but also many impediments to attracting tourism dollars (no hotel, an unused theater, vacant and boarded up downtown business properties, a lack of diversity in downtown businesses). The success of this application for planning will allow the community to move beyond understanding the challenges and into putting together all of the realistic, actionable pieces of this puzzle.

LADG is likely the only organization in Guadalupe that could fully utilize this opportunity to move the community toward a holistic vision incorporating tourism, recreation, and commerce. Residents know the importance of the history and culture of the city, the uniqueness of the natural beauty that surrounds them, and--unfortunately--the complexity of turning these underutilized assets into productive use. With its strong history working from within to build a community-owned future, LADG is well-positioned to assist the community in realizing its full potential. I am confident the RERC program will be well-served by funding LADG in this effort.

Recreation Economy for Rural Communities (RERC) Program RE: Support for Los Amigos de Guadalupe’s RERC Application To Whom It May Concern,
On behalf of Santa Barbara County Community Services Department - Parks Division, I would like to express my strong support for Los Amigos de Guadalupe’s (LADG) RERC application. LADG has been an integral part of recent community improvements and has developed strong working relationships within the Guadalupe community.

Along with ongoing development of the Resilience-Guadalupe plan, LADG has been vital to the development of the Guadalupe Business Association and has successfully attained almost $7M in grants for various projects in the city.

One of those grants involves project management for the LeRoy Park and Community Center renovation, another is spearheading the renovation of the Royal Theatre, which has been closed as unsafe for over 10 years (and is presently in the design phase). The City of Guadalupe and LADG are also cooperating with the Park’s Division on the ongoing Countywide Recreation Master Plan, which has strong focus on improving park and recreation development in Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) such as the City of Guadalupe.

LADG has been a leading supporter of many recent Guadalupe planning efforts by leading and assisting with public outreach, organizing public meetings, and participating in local and regional planning efforts, from Mobility and Revitalization to the Santa Maria River Levee Trail, to the Trail to the Ocean, the County’s Recreational Master Plan, and the City General Plan Update, among many others. The County Park’s Division strongly supports this RERC application as a means to complement the County funded Recreation Master Plan efforts to provide a campground and other recreational improvements in and around the City of Guadalupe.

Along with other community partners, LADG believes that the community has all the assets to be an extraordinary natural and cultural destination (the Guadalupe Dunes, Pacific Ocean, many original downtown buildings, excellent restaurants, and connections to points beyond via both the iconic California Highway 1 and Amtrak’s Surfliner route); but also many impediments to attracting tourism dollars (no hotel, an unused theater, vacant and boarded up downtown business properties, a lack of diversity in downtown businesses). The success of this application for planning will allow the community to move beyond understanding the challenges and into putting together all of the realistic, actionable pieces of this puzzle.

LADG is likely the only organization in Guadalupe that could fully utilize this opportunity to move the community toward a holistic vision incorporating tourism, recreation, and commerce. This RERC grant would enable full cooperation between LADG, the City and County to promote and develop new natural recreational opportunities.

Residents know the importance of the history and culture of the city, the uniqueness of the natural beauty that surrounds them, and--unfortunately--the complexity of turning these underutilized assets into productive use. With its strong history working from within to build a community-owned future, LADG is well-positioned to assist the community in realizing its full potential. I am confident the RERC program will be well-served by funding LADG in this effort. The County Parks Division strongly supports this request and looks forward to working cooperatively with LADG on this effort.

Recreation Economy for Rural Communities (RERC) Program RE: Support for Los Amigos de Guadalupe’s RERC Application To Whom It May Concern,
I write to express my strong support for Los Amigos de Guadalupe’s (LADG) RERC application. As a local small business owner, I have seen !rsthand the e"ectiveness of LADG’s impact within the community.

LADG had a crucial role in the development of the Guadalupe Business Association and has successfully gained almost $7M in grants for various projects in the city. #ese grants have positively a"ected the process for the LeRoy Park and Community Center renovation, as well as the renovation of the Royal #eatre in the downtown corridor.

LADG has the network and experience to move this community forward in ways that others can not and have not. #ey have a track record of success and they focus on a community-owned future; not simple saviorship. I believe that the RERC program will be well-served by funding LADG towards these ongoing e"orts.

One of those grants involves project management for the LeRoy Park and Community Center renovation, another is spearheading the renovation of the Royal Theatre, which has been closed as unsafe for over 1 O years (and is presently in the design phase).

LADG has been a leading supporter of many recent Guadalupe planning efforts by leading and assisting with public outreach, organizing public meetings, and participating in local and regional planning efforts, from Mobility and Revitalization to the Santa Maria River Levee Trail, to the Trail to the Ocean, the County's Recreational Master Plan, and the City General Plan Update, among many others.

Along with other community partners, LADG believes that the community has all the assets to be an extraordinary natural and cultural destination (the Guadalupe Dunes, Pacific Ocean, many original downtown buildings, excellent restaurants, and connections to points beyond via both the iconic California Highway 1 and Amtrak'sSurfliner route); but also many impediments to attracting tourism dollars (no hotel, an unused theater, vacant and boarded up downtown business properties, a lack of diversity in downtown businesses). The success of this application faplanning will allow the community to move beyond understanding the challenges and into putting together all of the realistic, actionable pieces of this puzzle.

LADG is likely the only organization in Guadalupe that could fully utilize this opportunity to move the community toward a holistic vision incorporating tourism, recreation. and commerce.

Residents know the importance of the history and culture of the city, the uniqueness of the natural beauty that surrounds them, and--unfortunately--the complexity of turning these underutilized assets into productive use. With its strong history working from within to build a community-owned future, LADG is well-positioned to assist the community in realizing its full potential. I am confident the RERC program will be well-served by funding LADG in this effort.

application on behalf of the Club Comité Cívico Mexicano de Guadalupe. LADG has been a primary proponent of the involvement of community members in order to not only give them a voice, but also to ensure that their efforts produce positive results throughout the community. LADG has been instrumental in developing the ongoing Guadalupe-Resilience Plan. LADG has also supported the development of the Guadalupe Business Association to support the local business community.

Master Plan, and the City General Plan Update, among many others.

LADG, along with other community partners, such as the Club Comité Cívico Mexicano, believe that the community has the potential to become an extraordinary natural and cultural destination because it already has so many existing natural and iconic landmarks that will attract not only tourists, but the local residents as well. In addition, Guadalupe is located right on Scenic Highway One and has an Arrival/Departing Kiosk that is part of the Amtrak Surfliner Route. The success of this application will enable the community to develop revitalization plans for downtown Guadalupe as well as to increase the diversity of businesses.

Club Comité Cívico Mexicano de Guadalupe is a Non -Profit group whose primary purpose has been to maintain the cultural traditions of the majority of residents who are connected either through family or community participation, or both, to the Mexican Culture. Club Comité Cívico Mexicano de Guadalupe is proud to have the distinction of being the oldest civic organization in Santa Barbara County and will be celebrating its Centennial in 2023.

Recreation Economy for Rural Communities (RERC) Program RE: CA Coastal Conservancy support for Los Amigos de Guadalupe RERC proposal To Whom It May Concern,
On behalf of the California Coastal Conservancy, I write to express my strong support for Los Amigos de Guadalupe’s (LADG) RERC application. LADG has been essential to recent community improvement efforts and has developed strong working relationships within the Guadalupe community. Along with the ongoing development of the Resilience-Guadalupe plan, LADG has been vital to the development of the Guadalupe Business Association and has successfully gained almost $7M in grants for various projects in the city. One of those grants involves managing the renovation of the LeRoy Park and Community Center; another is spearheading the renovation of the Royal Theatre, which has been closed as unsafe for over 10 years (and is presently in the design phase).

The Coastal Conservancy is a state agency that works in partnership with others to protect, restore and ensure public access to the coast of California. LADG has lead or co-lead the public outreach, organizing, and participating in public meetings for the following recent Guadalupe planning and community initiatives: City Mobility and Revitalization study, Coastal Conservancy-funded Santa Maria River Levee Trail and Trail to the Ocean feasibility studies, the County’s Recreational Master Plan, the City General Plan Update, among many others.

Along with other community partners, LADG believes that the community has all the assets to be an extraordinary natural and cultural destination (the majestic Guadalupe Dunes Complex, Pacific Ocean and coastal resources, many original downtown buildings, excellent restaurants, and connections to points beyond via both the iconic California Highway 1 and Amtrak’s Surfliner route). Many barriers exist to attracting tourism dollars (lack of hotels, an unused theater, vacant and boarded up downtown business properties, a lack of diversity in downtown businesses). The success of this planning proposal will allow the community to move beyond understanding the challenges and into putting together all of the realistic, actionable pieces of this puzzle.

LADG is the only organization in Guadalupe that could fully utilize this opportunity to move the community toward a holistic vision incorporating tourism, recreation, sustainability and commerce. Residents know the importance of the history and culture of the city, the uniqueness of the natural beauty that surrounds them, and--unfortunately--the complexity of turning these underutilized assets into productive use.

Agenda Item No. 9

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GUADALUPE
Agenda of January 17, 2023
_______________________________
Prepared by:

Todd Bodem, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Resolution ratifying and proclaiming the existence of a Local State of Emergency RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-03 ratifying and proclaiming the existence of a local state of emergency.

BACKGROUND:

In anticipation of severe weather, Governor Newsom had declared a state of emergency in California on January 4, 2023. The state, including the Central Coast, experienced large amounts of rain and some flooding, but the majority of the rain and flooding occurred on January 9, 2023. On that date, President Biden authorized an emergency declaration for the state of California as a result of the severe rainstorms and flooding that were occurring. During the afternoon on January 9, 2023, the County of Santa Barbara Executive Officer/Director of Emergency Services, Mona Miyasato, issued a proclamation of a local emergency as a result of heavy rains and flooding in the County;.

During the evening on January 9, 2023, the Director of Public Safety reported that the City of Guadalupe Public Works Director had ceased public transportation in the City of Guadalupe and reported that a number of public facilities had been adversely impacted and or compromised due to strong winds, reckless drivers, and flooding, and that Public Works Department and Recreation and Parks Department personnel were removing debris from City of Guadalupe streets.

The Director of Public Safety later reported at 11:58 p.m. that the area of lower Pioneer Street in the City of Guadalupe was flooded and had been blocked off from traffic. He reported that the affected residents had been evacuated, and also, that the City had opened the City Hall Auditorium as a shelter where twenty (20) residents were staying. The Director of Public Safety advised that the City’s Emergency Operations Center had been activated and that City staff were provided services to assist with the emergency conditions.

During the night of January 9, 2023, and the early morning of January 10, 2023, the City Administrator/Director of Emergency Services consulted with the Director of Public Safety and concluded that the City’s streets and the facilities in the City of Guadalupe would continue to be impacted until the current storm pattern subsided, and even if the storm were to subside, there were some areas in the City of Guadalupe still experiencing flooding, and that there was a possibility of mudslides, as well as continuing impacts on traffic and public infrastructure due to storm debris which presented a threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the general public in the City of Guadalupe.

The City Administrator/Director of Emergency Services determined that, in light of the continuing threats to the health, safety, and welfare of the general public in the City of Guadalupe, the City Council meeting scheduled for 6 p.m. on Tuesday, January 10, 2023, should be cancelled, and after consulting with the City Attorney, concluded that Chapter 2.32 of the Guadalupe Municipal Code granted him the authority to proclaim the existence of a local emergency and to take appropriate actions, including cancelling the City Council meeting scheduled for 6 p.m on January 10, 2023.

DISCUSSION:

Government Code section 8630 provides:
(a) A local emergency may be proclaimed only by the governing body of a city, county, or city and county, or by an official designated by ordinance adopted by that governing body. (b) Whenever a local emergency is proclaimed by an official designated by ordinance, the local emergency shall not remain in effect for a period in excess of seven days unless it has been ratified by the governing body.
(c) The governing body shall review the need for continuing the local emergency at least once every 60 days until the governing body terminates the local emergency. (d) The governing body shall proclaim the termination of the local emergency at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant.

Section 2.32.050 of the Guadalupe Municipal Code (GMC) created the Office of Emergency Services in the City of Guadalupe and designated the City Administrator as the Director of Emergency Services. GMC section 2.32.050.A authorizes the City Administrator to: “[r]equest the City Council to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of an emergency or a disaster and the termination thereof, if the City Council is in session, or to issue such proclamation if the City Council is not in session, subject to confirmation by the City Council at the earliest possible time.” Because of the rapidly changing situation and in light of the County of Santa Barbara’s declaration of a local public health emergency, City Administrator/Director of Emergency Services, Todd Bodem, on January 10, 2023, issued a “Proclamation OF Existence of a Local Emergency by the City Administrator/Director of Emergency Services of the City of Guadalupe” as a result of severe weather that took place on January 9, 2023, and the continuing impacts from this severe weather. A copy of this Proclamation is attached to Resolution No. 2023-03 as Exhibit “A.”

The City Administrator/Director of Emergency Services is recommending that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution No. 2023-03 to ratify his proclamation of the existence of a local state of emergency issued on January 10, 2023. Due to the ongoing nature of the emergency, staff is recommending that the emergency declaration be extended up to a 60-day period with intermittent reviews at regular scheduled council meetings. The Council will thus have the ability to terminate the declaration during the 60-day period when and if conditions improve.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If the City Council does not adopt Resolution No. 2023-03, the City will incur potentially significant costs as a result of having to respond to the directives of federal, state, and county governments concerning, and otherwise respond to, the local emergency declared by the City Administrator/Director of Emergency Services, as these costs will not be subject to possible reimbursement. Adoption of the resolution will permit the City to seek reimbursement for its costs in responding to this public health emergency.

Agenda Item No. 10

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GUADALUPE
Agenda of January 17, 2023

_______________________________ __________________________________ Prepared by: Approved by:

Philip F. Sinco, City Attorney Todd Bodem, City Administrator SUBJECT: Emergency Occupancy Agreement for Displaced Residents RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

1. by motion, decline to ratify a proposed “emergency occupancy agreement” to provide temporary housing for City residents displaced from their homes because of flooding; and

2. by motion, ratify a payment of $7,000 paid to provide temporary housing for displaced City residents from January 10 -17, 2023.

BACKGROUND:

On January 9, 2023, shortly after 10 p.m., lower Pioneer Street flooded. City public safety personnel, including Director of Public Safety, Michael Cash, responded to the scene. The residents of these homes were unable to access their residences as the water was “waist-high.” Chief Cash directed that the City Hall Auditorium be opened up for use as a temporary shelter for these residents. Approximately 20 of these residents were evacuated to the Auditorium and provided shelter. Some of the displaced residents were able to obtain lodging or shelter in other ways and were not assisted by the City.

On January 10, 2023, Chief Cash contacted local nonprofits such as the Red Cross and the Salvation Army for assistance with the temporary shelter at the Auditorium but receive no responses or they advised they were unable to help. Due to limited City staffing and without the assistance of nonprofit organizations, Chief Cash determined that continued use of the Auditorium as a temporary shelter was not practical and he began investigating options to provide temporary housing for these residents elsewhere. While investigating the scene near the flooded area, Chief Cash happened to meet Steve Simoulis at an apartment complex located at 824 Pioneer Street owned and operated by Pioneer St.

Apts., North LLC, (the “Apartments”). The Apartments are owned by a limited liability company, of which Mr. Simoulis is the company’s “manager.” The Apartments are used to house nonimmigrant agricultural workers allowed to live and work in the United States pursuant to the “H2A” visa program. Chief Cash informed Mr. Simoulis about the displaced residents and asked him if there was any vacancy as the H2A Philip F. Sinco

workers do not occupy the Apartments all year round. Mr. Simoulis informed Chief Cash that there was availability.

Mr. Simoulis proposed terms for an agreement to temporarily house the displaced residents, including a deposit in advance, and that he would require a written agreement. Chief Cash believed that temporarily housing the displaced residents at the Apartments was the best option available to the City at the time, and as discussed below, believed he had the authority to incur costs on behalf of the City related to providing temporary shelter for the displaced residents. Therefore, he subsequently met with Interim Director of Finance Robert Perrault and informed him about the plan to temporarily house the displaced residents. During the afternoon on January 10th, he requested that Mr. Perrault issue a handwritten check as a deposit for the purpose of providing temporary shelter for them. Mr. Perrault complied (with the approval of the City Administrator, Todd Bodem, who was traveling back to the City of Guadalupe at the time having been unable to complete the journey the previous day due to the closing of Highway 101). Mr. Perrault wrote a check in the amount of $7,000 which was subsequently provided to Mr. Simoulis by Chief Cash.
1 At or after 4:00 p.m., on January 10, 2023, Chief Cash met with Mayor Julian and requested that he sign an agreement (entitled “Emergency Occupancy Agreement”) to provide temporary housing at the Apartments for City residents whose homes were affected by flooding. The agreement had been prepared by Mr. Simoulis. The agreement is attached hereto as Attachment 1.

The agreement provides that eleven (11) units would be rented to the City at the rate of $220 per day beginning on January 10, 2023, through January 31, 2023, to house displaced residents “on an emergency basis to accommodate federal and state declarations of emergency due to recent weather/flooding, and pursuant to City’s policy power for preservation of public health and safety.” The agreement provides that it could be terminated by the City at any time, but it requires 10 days’ notice.

The total cost to the City for the entire three (3) week period is stated in the agreement as $52,340.

Once the agreement had been signed by the Mayor, the displaced residents were allowed to occupy the units. A copy of the agreement was provided to the City Administrator by email at 4:12 p.m. on January 10, 2023, and he forwarded it to the City Attorney the next day. The City Attorney advised the City Administrator that the agreement was not legally binding on the City unless it was ratified by majority of the City Council. Accordingly, this “agreement” attached as Attachment 1 is hereafter referred to as the “proposed agreement” since it has yet not been legally accepted by the City.

DISCUSSSION:

Although the residents from lower Pioneer Street were displaced through no fault of their own, the City is not legally responsible to provide temporary or substitute housing for them since the cause was a natural disaster (and not the fault of the City). At most, the City is required to take appropriate action to protect these residents from physical harm and ensure their safety, which the City did by providing the Auditorium for them to use as a temporary shelter. Understandably, the long-term use of the 1 The proposed agreement actually provided that the City was to make a deposit of $11,000, but this was not the amount communicated to Mr. Perrault who did not see or ever know about the agreement.

Auditorium as a temporary shelter was not practical and, certainly, Chief Cash believed that allowing these residents to temporarily shelter at the Apartments was a viable option; however, neither Chief Cash nor Mayor Julian are authorized under the provisions Chapter 2.32 of the Guadalupe Municipal Code (GMC) to expend public funds during an emergency. This power is granted exclusively to the Director of Emergency Services (i.e., the City Administrator).

Authority to Enter into the “Emergency Occupancy Agreement”:

Chief Cash had activated the City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) on January 9, 2023, as a result of the flooding and believed that his authority as the Incident Commander/EOC Manager gave him authority to incur certain costs on behalf of the City, including with respect to the cost associated with providing temporary shelter to displaced City residents. In addition, Chief Cash, like all of the City’s department heads, has authority to incur up to $50,000 for contracts to obtain goods or services as the City Council has delegated this authority to City managers pursuant to Resolution No. 2020-04; however, this only applies if funding has been previously appropriated by the City Council (for the particular purpose) in the annual budget adopted by the City Council. In this case, the amount required under the proposed agreement exceeds this $50,000 authority, and additionally, was not appropriated in the budget adopted by the City for FY 2022-23. Even the Director of Emergency Services/City Administrator, who is authorized to spend public funds during an emergency, must obtain the Council’s ratification of any contracts in excess of $50,000 if the amounts were previously appropriated for the particular purpose of the contract(s), and if not, even amounts less than $50,000 would need to be ratified by the Council (and a budget amendment would eventually be required as well).

Public Purpose Requirement:

The City Council is legally authorized to spend public funds provided there is a “public purpose” for the expense. The cost required by the proposed emergency occupancy agreement is not a legal concern, nor is any concern about the type of precedent that this (proposed) agreement would create in the future (as this is a policy decision the Council is authorized to make). In determining whether a “public purpose” exists, only the legal propriety of the expenditure should be examined, not economic or governmental wisdom. (City of Oakland v Oakland Raiders (1982) 32 Cal. 3d 60, 73).

When public funds are spent without a “public purpose,” this is referred to as “gift of public funds” which is prohibited by the California Constitution (Cal. Const. Art. XVI, §6). Public funds that are spent to benefit a private party constitute an unconstitutional gift of public funds if the public agency does not receive adequate consideration in exchange for the expenditure (Allen v Hussey (1950) 101 Cal.App.2d 457, 473).

The determination of a public purpose lies with the legislative body. The concept is liberally construed, and a city council’s decision will be upheld unless it is totally arbitrary. Moreover, a mere incidental benefit to an individual does not make a "public" purpose a "private" purpose. (American Co. v City of Lakeport (1934) 220 Cal. 548, 556). Thus, social welfare expenditures of counties are not illegal gifts. (See, e.g., City & County of San Francisco v Collins (1932) 216 Cal. 187, 190).

Social welfare expenditures have been held to serve a public purpose since these expenditures are intended to help the poor and disadvantaged members of a community. If the Council were to ratify the

proposed agreement, it will also need to make a finding that providing public funds for the housing of displaced residents is not solely a “private benefit” for these residents but also serves a “public purpose” that benefits the entire community.

Since staff has recommended that the Council not ratify the proposed agreement, no legal findings to justify a public purpose for the public funds that would be expended under this proposed agreement have been prepared; however, if the Council decides to ratify the proposed agreement, a resolution with appropriate legal findings (based on the Council’s direction) will be prepared and brought to the Council at a future meeting.

Cost Recovery Issue:

Another issue with the proposed agreement is that the funds the City would be required to pay may not be subject to reimbursement from the state and/or federal government. (This assumes that the City Council will adopt the resolution declaring a local emergency, also on the Council’s agenda for the January 17th special meeting, otherwise, reimbursement is not an option). In general, for example, the federal government will only pay for the costs of lodging for individuals unable to return to their homes because of a disaster or emergency if their homeowners or renters insurance does not cover this cost.

In addition, such individuals must incur the costs “out of pocket” and then apply to the federal government for reimbursement.

The state and/or the federal government will reimburse a city that incurs costs related to a disaster or an emergency, such as costs for public safety personnel or costs related to damaged infrastructure. Costs incurred for temporary shelters for displaced residents can also be reimbursed; however, there are regulations that control what costs are reimbursed and the amount. While it is possible that the costs incurred under the proposed agreement, it is not certain if they would be, or if the amount would be limited to a lesser amount. At this time, this time, staff is unsure if the costs incurred under the proposed agreement would be reimbursed.

City Payment of $7,000:

Aside from the proposed agreement, the City Council needs to consider ratifying the $7,000 payment made to Mr. Simoulis. It could be argued that this payment was authorized by GMC section 2.32.060.B., which provides that the Director of Emergency Services (the City Administrator) may “[o]btain vital supplies, equipment and such other property found lacking and needed for the protection of the life and property of the people, and bind the City for the fair value thereof, …” (Emphasis added). However, it is not clear whether this payment meets the criteria for the “protection of life and property of the people.” (Emphasis added). The City Council has the authority to make this determination. Even if the affected residents qualify as “the people,” it is not obvious, however, that housing them in the Apartments was “necessary” for the protection of their lives, especially since they were already being provided with shelter at the Auditorium. If this expenditure did not meet the criteria stated in GMC section 2.32.060.B., this expenditure would need to be ratified by the City Council. To ensure that this expenditure is an authorized one, staff recommends that this payment be ratified by the Council.

Even if the Council rejects the proposed emergency occupancy agreement, Mr. Simoulis has provided housing of displaced residents at his property, and it could be argued that he should receive some

compensation for this service. If the Council rejects the proposed agreement, the residents will still have had the benefit of shelter for eight (8) nights (i.e., from January 10-17). The $7,000 payment would equal a daily rental rate of $79.54 per day for each unit, which is a reasonable amount. Second, if the Council does not ratify the payment, the City will be required to request that it be returned by Mr. Simoulis, and will incur costs to recover it through legal procedures should he refuse. In addition, Mr. Simoulis may have a legal right to collect some amount in rent from the residents themselves.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. The Council may decide to ratify the emergency occupancy agreement, but if so, the City will be liable for paying up to $53,420 and will need to make a finding that these funds were made for a “public purpose.”

2. The Council may decide not to ratify the payment of $7,000, but it is uncertain that the City will be able to recover this back from Mr. Simoulisshould he decline to return it, and in that case may have to incur cost to pursue a legal remedy.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If the City Council ratifies the emergency occupancy agreement, the City will be contractually bound to pay $53,420 on behalf of the displaced residents. It is uncertain whether the City would be able to obtain reimbursement of this amount from the state or federal government, although it is possible that at least some of it may be reimbursed. In addition, if the Council ratifies the $7,000 payment to Mr. Simoulis, this amount may be more likely to be reimbursed since it would be comparable to the costs of operating a temporary shelter at the Auditorium (although this is not certain).

If the City Council rejects the proposed agreement, the City may still be responsible for paying some amount to Mr. Simoulis under various legal theories should be pursue a legal remedy; however, whatever amount the City may be required to pay to Mr. Simoulis would be significantly less than the amount required by the proposed agreement.

Agenda Item No. 11

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GUADALUPE
Agenda of January 17, 2023
________________________________
Approved by:

Todd Bodem, City Administrator
SUBJECT: City Council Vacancy
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Interview all three (3) interested city residents and select one (1) finalist to fill the remainder of Tony Ramirez’ term, effective immediately.

BACKGROUND:

Councilmember Ramirez submitted a letter of resignation to the City Clerk on October 25, 2022. He specified the date of his resignation as of November 29, 2022. Because the effective date of his resignation will occur approximately halfway through his four-year term, whoever eventually fills this vacancy will serve until what would have been the final day of Councilmember Ramirez’ term (which officially ends on December 10, 2024). Whoever is appointed could run for election in 2024, and if he or she won, a new term of office would begin as of December 10, 2024.

In a staff reported at the November 8, 2022, City Council meeting, the City Attorney stated that, “Government Code section 36512 provides that a city council must fill a vacant seat within 60 days after the seat becomes vacant either by making an appointment or calling for a special election to fill the seat. Since the effective date of Councilmember Ramirez’ resignation is November 29, 2022, the Council must make an appointment to fill the vacancy or call for special election no later than January 28, 2023.”
At the November 8, 2022, City Council meeting, the City Council decided to go through the appointment process rather than by calling for a special election considering the high cost of conducting such an election.

DISCUSSION:

City staff provided notification to City residents by posting a notice on the City’s website and the Royal Theater marquee to inform persons who may be interested in serving the remainder of Councilmember Ramirez’ term. This notice informed interested persons to submit a letter of interest which asked for a

description of their qualifications. City staff provided a deadline for all letters to be received on December 6, 2022, at 4:00 p.m. (almost 30 days). At the December 13, 2022, City Council meeting, the City Administrator mentioned the names of those residents interested in being considered for the vacant seat but stated that Jesus Gomez decided to “drop out” of the process, leaving four (4) interested residents. The City Council developed a long list of fifteen (15) interview questions (Attachment 1) that were included in the city council packet on December 13, 2022. Council decided they would like the questions to be synthesized to only five (5) or so questions for interviews to be held at the January 10, 2022, City Council meeting. On January 9, 2023, the City experienced a significant wind and rain event that caused major flooding which effected several of the businesses and its residents. Therefore, the City Administrator executed a “Declaration of Emergency” canceling/postponing the January 10, 2023 City Council meeting and rescheduled it for January 17, 2023 at which time the interested city residents seeking the open Council seat will interview. After the interviews, Council may select one (1) resident to fill the remainder of Tony Ramirez’ term.

Subsequently, on January 12, 2023, the City Administrator received an email from Justin Martin (one of the interested residents seeking to fill the vacancy) who decided to remove himself from this chance for the open city council seat; this now leaves three (3) interested residents will interview on January 17, 2023 (Attachment 2: Letters of Interest).

After the interviews, Council may select one (1) resident to fill the remainder of Tony Ramirez’ term.

If after the interviews, Council still needs more time to consider the appointment, they can decide to continue its deliberations/selection process to a “Special Meeting” no later than January 28, 2023, where it is the last chance to make the appointment or opt to go through an election process.

The statement of interest submitted by each applicant, and those who will be interviewed, are as follows:

1. Courtney Cazenave

2. Clemente Moreno

3. Megan Lizalde
INTERVIEW PROCESS:

City staff has asked each of the above applicants to be prepared for the interview as there were fifteen (15) random questions sent to them to research (the above is the interview order). It is understood that seven (7) questions (Attachment 3) will be asked, and the City Council can ask tangent questions (from original list of 15 questions, or other) during the interview process. City staff recommends that each interview not last more than fifteen (15) minutes, but they need to be prepared to respond to potential tangent questions from the City Council which may extend the time by five (5) minutes for each Applicant.

ATTACHMENT 3
To Todd Bodem
I would like to introduce myself and share the passion I have to become part of your team to help lead this city. My name is Clemente Moreno and I'm currently a PE teacher at Kermit Mckenzie. I grew up in the central valley in a small farm working community of Dinuba, California. My father came over from Mexico in search of a better life and opportunity for us back in 1972. I've worked in the fields most of my adolescent life. This hard work gave me motivation to pursue a higher education and get a career where I could give back to the community. I spent the last 21 years teaching high school math and coaching football and wrestling.

This past year my family and I decided to come to the central coast to be closer to my granddaughter and we were fortunate enough to find the hidden treasure of Guadalupe as our new home. I don't think it's by chance or coincidence that we ended up here. God placed us here to roll up our sleeves and be involved in serving the community. I've been a leader as a teacher and a coach and would like the chance to be a leader of this community.

When I drive through town and see the hardworking farm workers I see my parents; in the classroom when I see my students I see myself 30 years ago waiting to lead. We have 90% of students living in poverty, but I have quickly learned that this town has a fighting spirit. Farming is the backbone of this community and this next generation can overcome the cycle of poverty through the use of education and programs. I don't want to change the culture of this town but instead create a climate that helps everyone work together to build this city. The vision I have is more community sports programs, adult ed and US citizenship classes offered in our city.

Buildings restored and painted by grants and income created by new businesses. If picked it will be an honor and a privilege to be a city council member. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Clemente Moreno

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GUADALUPE
Agenda of January 17, 2023
_______________________________
Prepared by:

Todd Bodem, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Appointment of Councilmembers to Various Boards and Committees RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Mayor nominate, and the City Council ratify the Mayor’s nominations, having to do with appointments to various boards and committees which require Council representation.

BACKGROUND:

There are currently eight boards and committees for which City Council members sit as representatives of the City of Guadalupe. The Mayor makes the appointments, and the City Council confirms the selection.

Attached is the City's Local Appointment List of Boards and Committees, maintained by the Administration Dept. (Attachment 1). These pages contain information about each of the boards, including the current representatives and alternates, as well as the purpose of the various boards.

Council members should review the Committee List and prepared to indicate your interest in serving during Council discussion on this item. Please also keep in mind that where Committee qualifications do not require an elected official the Council may choose to fill a committee position with a staff member to ensure the City is represented.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Only one of the seven boards and committees provides a stipend to its members. SBCAG independently pays a $100 per meeting stipend to its Board member. Travel expenses incurred by Councilmembers to various board and committee meetings have not historically been provided to Councilmembers.

Impact to the Community:

Appointments of Council members / Staff members to various boards will help assure that Guadalupe is well represented when countywide matters and issues come before these boards and committees.

Agenda Item No. 18

REPORT TO THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF GUADALUPE
Agenda of January 17, 2023

_______________________________ ___________________________________ Prepared by: Approved by:

Joy Otsuki, Special Counsel to the Successor Agency Todd Bodem, City Administrator SUBJECT: Resolution of the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Guadalupe approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule and Administrative Budget for the July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 Period EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Guadalupe (the “Successor Agency”) was formed to administer the enforceable obligations and otherwise unwind the former affairs of the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Guadalupe (the “Former Agency”), all subject to the review and approval by a seven-member Oversight Board. Until June 30, 2018, each successor agency had a local oversight board that served this purpose. As of July 1, 2018, all local oversight boards have been replaced by consolidated county-wide oversight boards as part of the streamlining and winddown of redevelopment affairs.

Under Section 34171(h), a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (a “ROPS”) is "the document setting forth the minimum payment amounts and due dates of payments required by enforceable obligations for each fiscal year as provided in subdivision (o) of Section 34177." Under the mandatory dates in the Dissolution Law, the Successor Agency must submit a copy of the ROPS for fiscal year 2023-24 (the “ROPS 23-24”), after approval from the Oversight Board, to the County Administrative Officer (“CAO”), County Auditor-Controller (“CAC”), State Controller’s Office (“SCO”), and DOF by February 1, 2023.

The ROPS 23-24 contains many of the same enforceable obligations listed on the ROPS for fiscal year 2022-23. The Successor Agency continues to request funding for anticipated cost related to the remediation of the Al’s Union Property and the resulting appraisal, marketing, escrow and reconveyance cost for the sale of the Successor Agency’s property.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Successor Agency Board adopt Resolution No. 2023-01 entitled “Resolution of the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Guadalupe Approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for the July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 period.” Joy Otsuki

DISCUSSION:

The Successor Agency is requesting $208,866 to pay administrative expenses during the ROPS 23-24 period. This amount is an increase over the prior year’s amount but falls within the statutorily calculated maximum permitted
The Successor Agency intends to bring its ROPS 23-24 before the Oversight Board at its January 18, 2023 meeting. After obtaining the Oversight Board’s approval, Successor Agency staff will then transmit the ROPS 23-24 to the DOF, with copies to the CAO, CAC, and SCO.

Upon receipt of an oversight board-approved ROPS, DOF has 45 days to make its determination of the enforceable obligations, including amounts and funding sources. Within five business days of DOF’s determination, the Successor Agency may request additional review and an opportunity to meet and confer on disputed items. DOF has until 15 days prior to the date for property tax distribution to make its final decision after the meet and confer. The RPTTF distribution dates for the ROPS 23-24 A period and 23-24 B period are on or about June 1, 2023 and January 2, 2024, respectively.

ALTERNATIVE:

Direct the Executive Director to make modifications to the form of Administrative Budget and/or ROPS 23-24 and adopt the Resolution submitted herewith subject to such modifications.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Successor Agency is limited to making payments reflected on an approved ROPS; therefore, approval of the ROPS by the Successor Agency, Oversight Board and DOF is essential to the continued operation of the Successor Agency and wind-down of the affairs of the Former Agency.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the Successor Agency Board adopt Resolution No. 2023-01.

ATTACHMENTS:
1) Successor Agency Resolution No. 2023-01 entitled “Resolution of the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Guadalupe Approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule and Administrative Budget for the July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 period.” SUCCESSOR AGENCY RESOLUTION NO. 2023-01
