Agenda packet — Guadalupe City Council, December 12, 2023 (part 2 of 2)

Agenda Item No. 6H

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GUADALUPE
Agenda of December 12, 2023
_________________________________
Prepared by:

Todd Bodem, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Adoption of Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for Unrepresented City Employees.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council adopt attached Resolution No. 2023-99 approving a Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) commensurate with the SEIU COLA Increase Schedule of 5.0% over the pay ranges in effect on June 30, 2023. Effective July 1, 2024, salaries/wages for SEIU positions shall be increased by 5% over the pay ranges in effect on June 30, 2023, for unrepresented City employees.

DISCUSSION:

Five City employees are not represented by any of the three recognized labor associations. These employees are the Police Lieutenant, Recreation Services Manager, Public Works Director, the Finance Director, and the Human Resources Manager (the City Administrator and the Director of Public Safety have employment contracts negotiated and approved by the City Council and are therefore not part of the unrepresented group). As such, this unrepresented group has no established collective bargaining unit to negotiate a MOU or other regularly negotiated labor contract. The basic terms of employment for unrepresented (and represented) employees are outlined in the City’s Personnel Rules. Because of this, the City Council has the authority to determine their salary and change them when desirable or necessary. Historically, the City Council has granted unrepresented employees the same wages and benefits negotiated by the City with the SEIU organization.

The City Council will consider approving a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with SEIU at its meeting on December 12, 2023, which includes COLA adjustments to the SEIU group. Under Article 8.

WAGES in the proposed 2023-2025 SEIU MOU, it states the following:

A. Effective retroactive to July 1, 2023, salaries/wages for SEIU positions shall be increased by 5% over the pay ranges in effect on June 30, 2023. Effective July 1, 2024, salaries/wages for SEIU positions shall be increased by 5% over the pay ranges in effect on June 30, 2023.

Assuming that the City Council approves the new MOU with SEIU, it is the City Administrator’s recommendation to allow the same COLA commensurate with the SEIU COLA increases for unrepresented employees. Thus, effective retroactively, the salaries of the four unrepresented employees will be increased by 5%, and effective July 1, 2024, salaries/wages for unrepresented City employees shall be increased by another 5%.

RESOLUTION NO. 2023-99

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY GUADALUPE

ADOPTING A COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT FOR UNREPRESENTED CITY EMPLOYEES WHEREAS, unrepresented City employees are not recognized by any of the three labor associations; and WHEREAS, the City of Guadalupe and SEIU are signatories to a 2023-2025 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU); and
WHEREAS, the MOU between the City and SEIU included an effective retroactive COLA to July 1, 2023, salaries/wages for SEIU positions increase of 5% over the ranges in effect on June 30, 2023, and effective July 1, 2024, salaries/wages for SEIU positions increase of 5% over the pay ranges in effect on June 30, 2023; and
WHEREAS, historically, the COLA granted by the City Council to its unrepresented employees have paralleled the wages and benefits negotiated by the City with the SEIU organization; and WHEREAS, Resolution No. 2013-48 established wages and benefits for designated unrepresented employees further stating that in no case may a progression in salary range exceed 5% in 12 calendar months without the express consent of City Council.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Guadalupe as follows:

SECTION 1. The City Council hereby approves the City Administrator’s recommendation of a COLA increase for unrepresented City employees commensurate to the increases to salaries/wages of SEIU positions pursuant to the approved MOU between the City and SEIU for 2023-2025, and therefore, the unrepresented City employees will receive a 5% increase in their respective salaries in effect on June 30, 2023, retroactive to July 1, 2023, and will receive a 5% increase in their salaries effective on July 1, 2024.

SECTION 2. If any provision or any part of a provision of this resolution shall be finally determined to be invalid, illegal, or otherwise unenforceable, such determination shall not impair or otherwise affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or parts of provisions of this resolution, which shall remain in full force and effect as if the unenforceable provision or part were deleted.

SECTION 3. The City Clerk is hereby authorized to make minor changes herein to address clerical errors, so long as substantial conformance of the intent of this document is maintained. In doing so, the City Clerk shall consult with the City Administrator and City Attorney concerning any changes deemed necessary.

CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
December 12, 2023
(Information below may be subject to change)

1. Hwy 1/166 Consolidated Project
Now that the Hwy 166 project consolidation effort is executed, Meg Henry, Caltrans District 5 Project Manager, will follow up with the City for scheduling of a Caltrans public meeting in Guadalupe to provide information about the nearby Caltrans project to members of the community, most likely dates in late January.

2. Groundbreaking Ceremony for new Guadalupe Jr. High School and Early Learning Center Wednesday, December 20, 2023
At 10 a.m.
375 Arroyo Seco Road (Pasadera)

3. Joanne Britton-Holland, Librarian III, Guadalupe Branch Manager On December 4th, the City Administrator had a discussion with Joanne Britton-Holland, Librarian III, about the concern Michael Rocklin had with the minor children at the Gudalupe Branch Library. Joanne told me that she talked to Mike and sent him a letter thanking him for hissupport of the City of Santa Maria Public Library and branches. She mentioned to him that the libraries are open to all members of the community for reading, borrowing materials, using computers, and a variety of programming. They welcome all community members to use the facilities within the bounds of the rules of conduct.

She said to him that it was brought to their attention that Mike has been questioning minor children at the library who are using public computers to play games at the Guadalupe Library.

Specifically, he recently asked a student personal question about his school status and whether the game he was playing was related to his curriculum. Joanne asked that he refrain from engaging other patrons, particularly minors, regarding their personal use of Library resources. If another patron is in violation of the rules of conduct, he should please report the issue to staff, who will address the issue.

Joanne also understands his desire to encourage reading and chess playing among library users and that if he is interested, he in volunteering for potential library-led activities such as chess, he should complete the library’s application for volunteer service.

4. Dunes/River – County Public Works Update
On the eve of November 29, 2023, during the Transportation Committee meeting, The City Administrator asked Cory Bantilan of Santa Barbara County for an update on the river project.

Cory stated that their project to remove sediment, vegetation, and other debris is mostly Agenda Item No. 7A
complete. They still have mitigation measures to finish which includes planting willows on the sand berm which will hopefully root and help prevent erosion. They realize that eventually a big enough storm will come through and breach the berm in one or more places, so they are working on a longer-term fix. Their Public Works team has publicly said the current berm will only handle 5,000 cubic feet per second, but they believe it will do quite a bit more than that.

The real number is anyone's guess and largely depends on how long flows are sustained, which is why they don't want to give a number higher than 5,000.

The County Public Works Department is going to reach out to the City because while they can help, they want the City to take the lead on that. Ideally, this would include applying for state funding (primarily CalOES and/or DWR) for a project including HESCO baskets to be placed behind the existing sand berm. This would be a multi-million-dollar project just to protect city assets, and likely into 8 figures if it were to go all the way to the dunes park entrance. This would be a middle ground between a levee which they know we will not get, and the current sand berm which we know will eventually fail.

As for the road, sections 1 and 2 have been completed. Section 1 is at the entrance gate and section 2 is between the gate and the sand plant. Eventually the plan is to bring section 1 back up to grade level, but that may never come to fruition and depends on a few things including a more permanent fix to the river. Similarly, section 2 has not been paved because they were worried about further washouts. It is still passable by all forms of transportation and is expected to be paved later.

Section 3 is a washout between the sand plant and the beach. Construction starts this month and is expected to take approximately 2 months to complete, but that timeline is largely weather dependent. This area washed out ~12 years prior and was moved 100+ feet. This time they cannot move the road as far as they would like due to environmental constraints in the dunes, so this section will continue to be an issue in the future. They have started to brainstorm potential solutions which could include hardening of the cliff area, but as of now nothing has been decided. They originally hoped to make this area part of the river alignment project, but the estuary with standing water began to the east, preventing any access or work due to environmental constraints. The Parks department has a couple of weeks of work to do as well, but they should be able to access it before road work is completed, minimizing further impact on the schedule. As of now, they are hoping for the road and park will be open to the public in March, 2024.

5. Senior Center Freezer
As many of you know, the senior center built-in freezer is very large. Now that AAA is providing the daily meals, there is no longer a need for such a larger freezer. To save a significant amount of energy cost, it makes sense to shut it down unless it is needed for large freezes. However, there is a need for a smaller freezer, so Eddie Schubert, Maintenance Lead will obtain quotes to purchase a commercial grade freezer. Source of revenue, CDBG funds.

6. Kiwanis Christmas Parade 2023
The Kiwanis parade scheduled for Saturday; December 9th (6 pm) will take place on Guadalupe Street.

7. Urban Greening Grant Jack O’Connell Park – Letters of Support A few updates on the Urban Greening grant. Recreation and Parks Commission Member Emily Dreiling connected with Assembly Member Hart and Senator Limon's offices. She sent them the proposal for the Urban Greening grant and a letter requesting support for the project.

Both offices have offered letters of support. Emily will follow up with both to check the status and obtain a copy of the letter of support if they are willing to share it.

8. Interest Earned - Just another update ��
For the month of November, the City earned $45,501.66 in interest income total in 1 ½ months $71,467.41.

9. Local Non – Profits, Presentations to Council
The City Administrator will start scheduling local nonprofits/other to regularly attend and present updates to the City Council, forward…more to come.

10. LSR Expenditure Report Due Dec. 1st
With the absence of the PW Director, city staff are pushed to complete reports and were able to submit last minute our FY 2022-23 Expenditure Report in CalSMART for the Local Streets and Roads Funding Program.

11. City of Guadalupe Property Site Visit JPIA
City staff met with the California JPIA, the City’s insurance provider, to complete its annual property appraisals for its member agencies.

Appraisals assist with developing an accurate property schedule, supportable replacement costs, and the applicable underwriting data for our properties. An agency property schedule was provided to staff. City staff has assessed it for any changes that need to be made. The appraiser, Sonny Sandmeyer, visited all locations valued at $1 million and above. Sonny was available and began the site visits Thursday, December 14th at 11 a.m.

The City Administrator designated Eddie Schubert, Facility Lead as the liaison met with the appraiser and accompanied him to the location(s). The appraiser needed someone to provide access to certain areas of the building(s).

After arriving on-site, the appraiser conducted a kickoff meeting that lasted 15-20 minutes.

The appraiser reviewed the property schedule and answered all questions.

Staff worked to provide them with accurate gross square footage numbers using member information, blueprints, or measuring on-site. Providing square footage numbers or blueprints for our larger buildings assists in the process, but they also measured on-site as needed to ensure that all facilities have verified square footage.

The site visits included a limited walk-through of each location to gather necessary data.

Below are examples of data the appraiser that was collected while on-site:
• Building area (gross square footage), building perimeter, GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude)
• Building name, address, digital photos
• Building construction class (ISO) (%), gross square footage, basement square footage, number of stories
• Occupancy (%), year built
• Roofing materials (%), roof geometry, exterior wall type (%) • Building services (%), elevators (#), automatic fire alarms (%), manual fire alarms (%) • Sprinkler fire protection (%), security alarms (%)
• Additions/renovations (year)

12. City Hall Roof Leaks
The City received two bids and is waiting for another for the roof repair. The City has allocated $238,675 in ARPA funds assigned for roof repairs. More come on that project.

13. Guadalupe ROPS Approval by Successor Agency Board – Timing The city executive management team are working with Joy Otsuki about the timing for approval of the Guadalupe Successor Agency’s Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) 24-25.

Finance Director, Janice Davis (working with Cheryl Murase, ROPS expert) will not have the ROPS completed by December 12 but ready for the first meeting in January. Joy will prepare and submit the Santa Barbara Countywide Oversight Board (COB) materials for the COB approval of the ROPS 24-25, the 24-25 administrative budget and the transfer of Al’s Union to the City.

The Successor Agency Board/City Council must approve the ROPS prior to the COB meeting on January 17, 2024.

14. Pasadera Bridges – Obispo Street and Arroyo Seco Road – CPUC Application A new application was submitted on November 29, 2023, to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), for the two bridge projects in Pasadera. The City and the Developer are now on a waiting pattern until we hear back from CPUC Staff. The City Administrator in unison with Pasadera’s Engineer is the applicant.

CPUC processing time could take six (6) or even more months but since this is the second try at submitting a complete package to them, the City Administrator and Pasadera folks think/hope they may give this project some level of priority (after the holidays, granted).

15. Free Youth Event in Guadalupe – Fighting Back Santa Maria Valley Ms. Gina Cortez, with Fighting Back Santa Maria Valley, is a non-profit organization in Santa Maria and they have previously worked together with the Mayor and City Council to successfully pass the flavor ban in Guadalupe.

Their coalition meets monthly to address community needs such as decreasing underage/excessive drinking, decreasing the use of marijuana in youth and opioid misuse. An area of focus that has been identified is a lack of activities for youth in our community. They are in the early stages of planning youth events in Santa Maria and would also like to plan an event in Guadalupe to provide an opportunity for the students to attend in their hometown.

They have very limited funding available for the events and are looking for a location to host the event. Councilmember Christina Hernandez was present during their last meeting and suggested that they set up a meeting to present to City Council and share what their plan and goals would be.

The City Administrator contacted Ms. Cortez; she is going to schedule a time to meet with the Council at a near future City Council meeting.

16. Measure A Cycle 4 Grant – Preapplication Due December 15 City staff received the attachment 1 information about the Measure A Cycle 4 North County Safe Routes to School, Bicycle and Pedestrian Program grant. The City will partner with the School District to apply. Since the School and the City both use Townsend Public Affairs for assistance, this will be a shared application.

This may be an opportunity to secure funding for the sidewalk around the Guadalupe Junior High and Guadalupe Early Learning Center projects in the Pasadera area. Other safe route options are available as well.

We are on a tight deadline to complete the application. Pre-applications are due to Santa Barbara County on December 15, 2023.

Townsend will dive into the guidelines and put together a checklist. Turns out the guidelines are very short, as is the pre-application form (1 page).

Townsends need to know:
• Project category (Planning/Project Development/Construction/Education Program or Awareness Campaign/Maintenance)
• Project Scope and Location (approximate length of sidewalk, cross streets, etc.)
• Total Amount Being Requested, and if the City has any matching funds (not required)

17. 3CE Update to Member Agency
Here is what you will find in 3CE Attachment #2 to this report:
• Highlights
• Affordable & Competitive Rates
• Community Investment
• Community Outreach
• Clean & Renewable Energy
• Working Groups
• Next Quarterly Member Agency Meeting

18. Townsend Monthly Grants Memo (December)
In attachment 3, please find this month’s grants memo for the city. There are quite a few public safety funding opportunities that are either open now or coming online in January – Assistance to Firefighters Grant, Office of Traffic Safety Grants, Firehouse Subs, and the CHP’s Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program. Chief is following up on it.

19. Black Road/Hwy 166
SBCAG will provide the city with a presentation to the City Council about the status of the Black Road and Highway 166 project at the January 23, 2024, City Council meeting.

20. Budget for Guadalupe 6th Cycle Housing Element
The State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) appears to be reacting to the acute housing shortage and worsening affordability problems in the State of California with a rather high-handed approach to certification of housing elements. Despite our efforts in adhering to the latest guidelines and expanded requirements for the 6th Cycle Housing Element, HCD is asking for much more additional explanation and documentation.

This is a formal request to modify the original agreement with the additional cost involved with addressing the plethora of additional work that HCD has generated. The next page shows the remaining tasks with corresponding estimates of effort. Overall, we estimate approximately $10,000 of additional increase in cost, which is a 15% increase over the original, relatively modest budget for the project. City staff will find funds for this.

21. Invitation to Master Plan for Aging Advisory Committee Council member Christina Hernandez shared Attachment 4 showing that Santa Barbara County has new funding to develop a local Master Plan for Aging under the leadership of the Adult and Aging Network in partnership with the Independent Living Resource Center. The success of this project will require deep, cross-sector collaboration and an Advisory Committee that represents the many different perspectives on aging and abilities that exist throughout the county. As a leader with expertise and knowledge about local government this group is asking for a valued advisor and City Council representative. They invite you to join the Advisory Committee to guide the development of the Santa Barbara County Master Plan for Aging.

Is there a city council member interested in taking part in this?

Subject: Grants and Funding Monthly Report
Overview
The purpose of this memo is to provide a monthly outline of upcoming funding opportunities and grant programs that could potentially meet the City’s funding needs in the near future. This memo is not a comprehensive list of all grants that are currently available, but ones that you may be able to submit competitive applications for relevant priority projects.

Future Opportunities
November saw yet another lull in tangible Legislative action, as the State Senate and Assembly remain on interim recess until January. However, in perhaps the most significant set of actions since the Governor’s bill signings and vetoes, Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas announced a number of changes to Assembly Committee Chair positions as well as a number of changes to Assembly Leadership. Most notably, Assembly Member Phil Ting (D, San Francisco) has been replaced as Assembly Budget Chair by Assembly Member Jesse Gabriel (D, Encino) of Southern California. Also significant, Assembly Member Isaac Bryan (D, Los Angeles) was removed from his role as Majority Leader and assigned the Committee Chairmanship of the Natural Resources Committee. He has been replaced by former Assembly Speaker Pro-Tem, Cecelia Aguiar Curry (D, Winters). The significant shift in leadership, especially in the Budget Committee, will result in an infusion of new ideas and priorities on where the State spends its money, at what level existing and new grant programs are funded, and which entities are eligible to access and compete for State funding pots.

Santa Barbara County Master Plan for Aging
Advisory Committee Expectations
Expectations of Advisory Committee Members
The role of the committee member is to provide expertise in their areas of strength, assist with connections to a wide variety of sectors of the community, and be an ambassador for the local Master Plan for Aging (MPA). The committee will guide the work of the plan including:
• Create and implement a communication plan
• Map current initiatives, grants, funding and resources that align with the MPA • Review and solicit a local community for enrollment in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities
• Organize and support community outreach and assessment activities, to include listening sessions, focus groups and surveys with a focus on lifting up voices of under-represented groups • Review data, select goals and recommend priority initiatives for the local plan • Review and approve the plan prior to submission to California Department of Aging by March 31, 2025
Attendance is expected at monthly committee meetings via Zoom, from December 2023 through March 2025. We appreciate that your time is valuable and we commit to being punctual.

Background of the Master Plan for Aging
The Master Plan for Aging was introduced by the California Department of Aging in 2021. It includes Five Bold Goals along with hundreds of supporting strategies and initiatives, representing a 9.5 billion dollar investment. The Five Bold Goals are:
• Housing for All Stages and Ages
• Health Reimagined
• Inclusion and Equity, Not Isolation
• Caregiving That Works
• Affording Aging
The Santa Barbara County Adult and Aging Network, Independent Living Resource Center and Caring Together Santa Barbara County have done preliminary work on these goals. Now, as one of the first 15 counties to receive state funding for a local MPA, the collaboration aims to create a long-lasting plan to guide Santa Barbara County through this important demographic shift as an aging society.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GUADALUPE
Agenda of December 12, 2023
_________________________________ _____________________________ Prepared by: Approved by:

Larry Appel, Contract Planning Director Todd Bodem, City Administrator SUBJECT: Public Hearing to consider amendments to the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance (Chapter 18.53).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In 2018 and 2019, and more recently in 2022, staff updated the accessory dwelling unit (ADU) chapter of the Guadalupe Municipal Code (Chapter 18.53). Since the most recent amendment to the City’s ordinance, there have been further amendments to the State regulations requiring additional revisions to the City’s local ordinance. The attached Ordinance No. 2023-513 has incorporated the necessary amendments into this most recent version of our ADU program.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Receive a presentation from staff; and
2) Conduct a public hearing and a) approve a Notice of Exemption from CEQA for Ordinance No. 2023-513; and 2) introduce by title only and waive the first reading of Ordinance No. 2023-513 amending Chapter 18.53 of the Municipal Code; and 3) Continue Ordinance No. 2023-513 to January 10, 2024, for second reading and adoption.

BACKGROUND:

The state continues to pass bills that reduce local agency’s ability to regulate ADUs and Junior ADUs (JADU). Staff has amended the local ordinance four times in the last six years. This current amendment relaxes height and setback requirements along with a few other changes which will be discussed below. Over 89 ADUs have been approved in Guadalupe through November of this year.

Staff Report Ord. No. 2023-513 Page 2 of 3 December 12, 2023 DISCUSSION:

There are a number of amendments necessary to bring the local ordinance into full compliance with the state which are discussed below:

Definitions (18.53.030) – A 17th definition was added for Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) identifying an ADU and/or JADU as an adequate site to meet RHNA requirements. The recently adopted 2042 General Plan identified sufficient land and densities to meet the current RHNA requirements for the 6th Cycle of the Housing Element. Any ADU units developed would exceed our minimum requirements.

Design and development standards (18.53.050) – The state requires that if certain parameters are met, then an ADU is approvable. The parameters include an ADU that is no more than 850 square feet, side and rear setbacks of at least four feet, and if detached, at least five feet from the primary dwelling. Any inconsistencies may be remedied through the processing of an Administrative Use Permit (Chapter 18.72, Article IV).

Another change to the ordinance is that a homeowner doesn’t necessarily need to convert an existing bedroom to make up part of an attached ADU, however, to clarify, a JADU must be constructed within the walls of a new or existing single-family dwelling.

Under the Setbacks section of the City’s ordinance, the proposed amended ordinance clarifies that a detached ADU must maintain at least a five feet setback from an existing or proposed single-family home.

The state statutes also allow a detached garage to be constructed for the ADU if the structure can meet local setback requirements.

The current ordinance requires a minimum of a 15x15 open space area for the residents of the ADU. However, the State law now requires local agencies to approve an 850 square foot unit even if it cannot provide the necessary open space. This is another example of the State preventing good local planning.

Existing Nonconforming (18.53.080) – If an applicant submits for an ADU that was not previously permitted, the law now prohibits a local agency from requiring the unpermitted building to be brought up to code for at least five years, unless there is a health and safety violation, as determined by the enforcement agency. If an unpermitted ADU is submitted for approval that was constructed prior to January 1, 2018, the State prohibits the denial of the unit unless the building is deemed substandard.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Minor reduction in revenues due to the state’s ordinance preventing a local agency from assessing discretionary processing fees and the collection of connection fees for utilitiesfor units under 750 square feet.

Staff Report Ord. No. 2023-513 Page 3 of 3 December 12, 2023 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

This ordinance has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and the CEQA Guidelines, and has been found to be exempt pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17 The adoption of the ordinance approving the Zoning Code amendments related to accessory dwelling units implement the provisions of Government Code Section(s) 65852.1 and 65852.2 and is therefore statutorily exempt from CEQA.

PUBLIC NOTICE:

Staff posted notice of this public hearing in three locations within the City, the announcement of the proposed amendment of Chapter 18.53.

WHEREAS, the new statutes went into effect on January 1, 2023 will continue until January 1, 2035 and as of that date is repealed; and
WHEREAS, public notice pursuant to Government Code section 65090 was given on or before December 2, 2023, and a public hearing on the item was opened at the City Council meeting on December 12, 2023, which hearing was continued to the Council meeting of January 9, 2024, for second reading and adoption.
