Agenda Item No. 12

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GUADALUPE
Agenda of May 14, 2024
_________________________________ _________________________________ Prepared by: Approved by:

Philip F. Sinco, City Attorney Todd Bodem, City Administrator SUBJECT: Fee Waiver Policy for Use of City-Owned Facilities by Non-Profit Organizations RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-33 approving a policy for fee waivers for the use of Cityowned facilities.

BACKGROUND:

The City Council received a detailed staff report at its last meeting on April 23, 2024, concerning the history of fee waivers given for the use of City-owned facilities, and also at that meeting, engaged in extensive deliberations about a proposed fee waiver policy based upon a policy used by the City of Lathrop, California, although slightly modified to better conform to City of Guadalupe’s situation and needs. Anyone interested in this background information is referred to the staff report for this item from the April 23rd agenda (available on the City’s website) and the Council’s deliberations can be viewed on the City’s YouTube channel. This background information will not be restated here.

After its deliberations on the proposed policy, the Council provided staff with feedback and direction to modify it. Staff used this information to revise the policy as directed by the Council.

DISCUSSION:

The fee waiver policy staff is requesting the City Council to approve is attached hereto as Attachment 2.

There are two versions of this policy, one in “redline” showing the changes made from the policy as originally proposed, and the second version with all of these changes made.

The primary direction given by the City Council at the April 23rd meeting was that any fee waiver should not include a waiver of any costs directly incurred by the City. Essentially, this means that the only portion of the charge imposed for use of a City facility that can be waived is the hourly rental fee. The City Council was very clear that costs incurred by the City, such as for a building attendant, cleaning up, and utilities used during an event, were not to be waived since doing so would directly impact the City’s finances. The proposed policy was revised to explicitly make this Council direction clear.

Another change made to proposed policy based on Council’s feedback was to eliminate one of the criterionsthe Council is to consider when deciding whether to grant a fee waiver. This particular criterion was: “the imposition of fees would create a financial hardship on the organization or would have a detrimental effect upon the services provided to the public.” This language was seen as problematic by the Council. This reason for including this particular criterion in the first place is because the proposed policy would have allowed the Council to grant waivers of all costs imposed for the rental of a City facility, including direct costs such as for a building attendant. Staff believed such a complete waiver of all costs should require a showing that imposing all costs would have a detrimental effect on the organization’s finances or its ability to provide its services to the public. Since the Council directed that only the hourly fee can be waived, staff believes this particular criterion is no longer necessary or advisable. For this reason, the requirement in the proposed policy that a nonprofit or community organization provide a financial or bank account statement has also been eliminated from the policy.

Lastly, at the request of City staff, two provisions have been added to the policy. The first is to require that the full security deposit be paid in advance, including the hourly rental fees, which can be refunded after the conclusion of the event if there are no damages, or failure to adequately clean, etc. If there are damages or there is a failure to adequately clean up after the use (as promised), the policy provides that the City may use the pre-paid hourly fees to offset its costs to repair the damage(s) or failure to adequately clean up. The second addition by staff is that private events are not eligible for a waiver of the hourly fee. Any event that would otherwise qualify for a waiver of the hourly fee must be open to the public (although an admission charge is permissible, and the event need not be free to the public).

These two provisions were not discussed during the April 23, 2024, Council meeting, and staff understands that the Council may not agree to one or both of them. If so, the policy can be revised accordingly.

Other than the foregoing changes, the proposed policy originally reviewed by the City Council has not otherwise been significantly changed. It still provides that the fees for the use of City facilities (including parks) may be waived for only three categories of entities or organizations: (1) governmental agencies; (2) nonprofit organizations (e.g., 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) nonprofit organizations) that are located in Guadalupe or that directly serve the Guadalupe community; and (3) certain “community service organizations” (that are not nonprofits but provide benefits to the Guadalupe community). The policy still requires qualifying entity wanting to request a waiver of the hourly rental fee to submit a letter (or email) to the Recreation and Parks Department stating the reason(s) for the fee waiver request, and a completed Facility Use Application form with certain supporting documents (e.g., proof of its nonprofit status or organization’s mission statement may also be required, except for government agencies).

Once the required paperwork has been submitted, the facility fee waiver request will be presented to the City Council which will approve or deny it. The decision of the City Council will be final.

The policy sets forth criteria that the City Council should consider when deciding whether to grant or deny a fee waiver request. The criteria include, but are not limited to, such considerations as:
• If applicable, the organization must not deny participants/players due to their inability to pay registration or participation fees.

Page 3 of 3 ends

• Whether the proposed fee waiver: (a) will have any significant impacts on the facilities or Recreation and Parks Department activities; or (b) whether the applicant will provide volunteer services and materials to mitigate any impacts created by the event or program; or (c) whether the impacts are adequately offset by the public benefit provided by the program or event. (If the applicant offers to provide volunteer services to offset any impacts of the event, such volunteer services are subject to approval of the Recreation and Parks Department which may rejected the offer of volunteer services and require the use of a City building attendant, for example, an event where alcohol is served).
• Scheduling and use of facilities and events are subject to availability of requested facilities and must not impact City programs and activities or previous commitments to outside parties. • Reasonable steps to minimize impacts to the City of Guadalupe facilities, programs, and residents.
• The use of the facilities must be open to the general public (an admission fee is permissible). No private events will be granted a fee waiver.

As discussed above, one of the criteria was eliminated (i.e., requiring a showing of financial hardship or detrimental effect on ability to provide services, and another was added (i.e., requiring events to be open to the general public). Finally, to include the Council’s specific direction, the policy now includes a statement that, in all cases, certain expenses incurred by the City, including but not limited to, the cost of a building attendant or the cost for utilities, may not be waived. The only fees that can be waived are the hourly rental fees.

As provided in the originally proposed policy, if a fee waiver is granted, the policy requires that, within thirty (30) days after the event or program, for future consideration of fee waivers, a written report should be provided to the Recreation and Parks Department, to include at a minimum; number of participants; event revenue and expenses; and if any benefit to the City. Recreation and Parks Department staff would use this information and provide a written update to the City Council reporting on the event and will include the pros and cons of the event for future reference for any necessary improvements for facility use.

Finally, as stated in the originally proposed policy, any failure to abide by the rules and procedures as set forth in the proposed policy could result in the respective permittee being denied for future fee waiver requests.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Any waiver of fees for the use of City facilities will result in a loss in revenue to the City. The more fee waivers granted by the City Council under the proposed policy, the greater would the loss of revenue be, and this could have a negative impact on the City’s ability to maintain its facilities, including parks.

Agenda Item No. 13

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GUADALUPE
Agenda of May 14, 2024
_______________________________
Prepared by:

Todd Bodem, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Support for local implementation of the California Master Plan on Aging and for the City to join the AARP network of age-friendly communities
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-34 expressing support for local implementation of the California Master Plan on Aging and for the City to join the AARP network of age-friendly communities.

BACKGROUND:

At the Council meeting on April 23, 2023, the City Council received a presentation from Margaret Weiss, a member of the Santa Barbara County Adult and Aging Network (AAN). The AAN was created in 1999 as an advisory body to the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors on issues relating to older adults and people with disabilities. Ms. Weiss’ presentation was about the California Master Plan on Aging. The slides she used during her presentation can be viewed here: https://cityofguadalupe.org/wpcontent/uploads/2024/04/6.-Master-Plan-for-Aging-Presentation-4-23-2024.pdf During her presentation, Ms. Weiss made two requests of the City Council: (1) to support local implementation of the California Master Plan on Aging; and (2) for the City to join the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) network of age-friendly cities.

The Council voiced unanimous support for both of these requests; however, this item was placed on the Council’s agenda as an “information only” presentation, so no action could be taken at that meeting.

For that reason, these two requests have been placed on the Council’s agenda for this meeting to allow them to be acted on.

DISCUSSION:

California Master Plan on Aging:

The MPA is a ten-year blueprint to build an integrated system of accessible and affordable long-term care for an aging population. In 2021-2022, 10 state cabinet agencies, in partnership with local leaders, the private sector, the federal government, and stakeholders, committed to more than 100 initiatives to launch the MPA into action. Every two years, the cabinet agencies and partners will commit to new

Page 2 of 3 ends

initiatives, demonstrating focus, innovation, and flexibility to meet the needs of California’s older adults, people with disabilities, and family caregivers. In 2023-2024, California will advance 95 new initiatives, building upon the work of the plan’s first two years. Further information about the MPA can be obtained here: https://mpa.aging.ca.gov
By 2030, one in four Californians will be 60 or older, and long-term growth forecasts indicate that Santa Barbara County’s elderly population will grow by over 118% percent by 2060. The older adult population will be more diverse, and an increasing number of older adults will identify as living with a disability. The MPA represents a long-term strategy that will address the inter-related and often complex issues facing older adults, families, and communities.

Implementation of the California Master Plan for Aging (MPA) is currently underway in Santa Barbara County. The AAN is calling upon community leaders, county and city planners, and human service and health care providers to take a fundamentally different and comprehensive approach through the MPA.

A copy of the AAN’s executive summary regarding local implementation of the MPA entitled “Aging Well in Santa Barbara County: Moving Forward with the California Master Plan on Aging” is attached to this staff report as Attachment 2.

AARP Age-Friendly Community Network:

Ms. Weiss’ presentation included information about the AARP network of age-friendly communities.

The AARP network serves as a catalyst to educate local leaders (both elected officials and engaged residents) and encourage them to implement the types of changes that make communities more livable for people of all ages, especially older adults. The network provides cities, towns, counties, and states with the resources to become more age-friendly by tapping into national and global research, planning models and best practices. Membership in the AARP network reflects that a community’s elected leadership has made a commitment to actively work with residents and local advocates to make their town, city, county or state an age-friendly place to live. There is no fee to join the AARP network.

According to a survey distributed to members of the AARP network in February 2019:
• 60% of member communities achieved a change in public policy, most often by integrating an “age-friendly lens” into community planning. • 34% achieved a private-sector investment or action — such as by local retailers and restaurants securing “age-friendly business” designations, commitments by builders to expand their use of age-friendly design standards, and partnerships with taxi services to provide discounted rides to older adults.
• 85% described other successes, such as raising awareness about livability issues, increasing collaborations within the community, and implementing educational and engagement programs.

An introductory flyer about the AARP network and how to join it is attached hereto as Attachment 3.

During Ms. Weiss’ presentation, the City Council members unanimously voiced support for joining the AARP network of age-friendly communities.

CONCLUSION:

Based on the City Council’s consensus of support for the MPA and for joining the AARP network of agefriendly communities expressed during Ms. Weiss’ presentation, staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-xx officially supporting implementation of the MPA in the City of Guadalupe, and authorizing staff to take appropriate action to join the AARP network of age-friendly communities.

WHEREAS, the AAN also supports the concept of an “age-friendly community” which represents the belief that the places where we live are more livable, and better able to support people of all ages, when local leaders commit to improving the quality of life for the very young, the very old, and everyone in between; and

stages of the age-friendly process

(AARP provides survey examples and access to an
online tool)

3. Develop an action and evaluation plan based on the
assessment results and submit to AARP for review

4. Implement the plan and work toward its goals

5. Assess the impact of implementing the plan and
submit progress reports

6. Share solutions, successes and best practices
across the age-friendly network
