Agenda Item No. 10
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GUADALUPE
Agenda of November 26, 2024
_______________________________ _________________________________ Prepared by: Approved by:
Philip F. Sinco, City Attorney Todd Bodem, City Administrator SUBJECT: Granting of Easements to City-owned properties to Caltrans for ADA Compliance and Pedestrian Infrastructure Improvement Project on Hwy 1.
RECOMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-70 approving a request from Caltrans to acquire from the City, one (1) permanent easement, six (6) temporary easements, and six (6) permits to enter and construct, as part of its project for ADA compliance and to improve pedestrian infrastructure on Hwy 1 and Hwy 166.
BACKGROUND:
Caltrans is engaged in a project is to improve pedestrian infrastructure on Hwy 1 and Hwy 166 to make the path of pedestrian travel accessible and ADA-compliant. (See Attachment 2 – Project Area). This project was initiated to upgrade numerous existing driveways, curb ramps, and sidewalks within the project limits that fail to meet current ADA standards. If left uncorrected, the existing path of pedestrian travel will not be accessible since numerous existing driveways, curb ramps, and sidewalks within the project limits fail to meet State and Federal ADA standards. The proposed improvements are consistent with the Guadalupe Mobility and Revitalization Plan (2020) and the City of Guadalupe Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (2014). This project is a joint effort on behalf of the City and Caltrans.
In order to complete this project, Caltrans must acquire a permanent (highway) easement, six (6) temporary easements, and six (6) permits to enter and construct, for properties located on Hwy 1 (Guadalupe Street) that are owned by the City. The differences between a permanent (or highway) easement, a temporary construction easement, and a permit to enter and construct are as follows:
1. Highway Easement (E): Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, policy power, and escheat.” (The Appraisal of Real Estate, 14th ed., Appraisal Institute)
2. Temporary Construction Easement (TCE): An easement granted for a specified purpose applicable for a specific frame of time. A TCE terminates after project completion at which point Philip F. Sinco
the encumbered fee interest in the land reverts to the owner. (The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, 6th ed., Appraisal Institute)
3. Permit to Enter & Construct (T): Expressed permission to enter the grantor’s remainder property to perform construction contract work on improvements for owner’s use (such as a driveway).
Construction work that falls under this category is not required for the project, rather it is simply performed as a convenience to the property owner. This type of permit and the time associated with the work is not appraised, valued, and/or compensable to the property owner. (The permits to enter and construct requested by Caltrans for this project are to ensure that the new public improvements (e.g., sidewalk) conform to privately owned improvements (e.g., other existing sidewalk, landscaped areas, etc.) for purposes of aesthetics and safety.
Caltrans has also offered “incentive” payments in addition to the required compensation payments offered to pay for the easements if the easements are accepted by certain dates. The total of these incentive payments is $5,090 above the compensation otherwise offered by Caltrans for the easements.
DISCUSSION:
On Hwy 1, from the intersection with Hwy 166 north to 11th Street, the project consists of removing the existing 4-ft sidewalk, curb, and gutter and replacing it with a 6-ft sidewalk. The specific “acquisitions” (i.e., the permanent easement, temporary easements, and permits to enter and construct) for Cityowned properties that Caltrans must obtain from the City for the project all have their own Accessors Parcel Numbers (APN), but Caltrans has identified them with their State Parcel Numbers in the documentation related to the acquisitions. The specific properties where the acquisitions are requested, along with their State Parcel Numbers, are:
1. 836 & 848 Guadalupe Street (Royal Theater) – Parcel 12543;
2. 330 Guadalupe Street (Amtrak Station property) – Parcel 12551;
3. 884 Guadalupe Street (Vietnam Veterans Memorial Plaza) –Parcel 12541;
4. 4646 10th Street (former Al’s Union property) – Parcel 12524; and
5. 1025 Guadalupe Street (Veterans Memorial Building) – Parcel 12525.
Each of the acquisitions have their own specific Parcel number as well. 836 & 848 Guadalupe Street (Royal Theater) – Parcel 12543:
Caltrans requires a permanent highway easement, two (2) temporary easements, and one (1) permit to enter and construct at the location of the Royal Theater (836 and 848 Guadalupe Street). Photos of this area are attached as Attachment 3. A map depicting the acquisitions is attached as Attachment 4.
The permanent highway easement (Parcel 12543-1) consists of an area that is already existing sidewalk, 298 square feet in total. Caltrans wishes to acquire this area to have the ability to maintain the sidewalk in perpetuity. An appraisal ordered by Caltrans valued this easement at $7,368.54.
The two (2) needed temporary easements on this parcel are small one (1) foot wide strips behind the back of sidewalk, totaling 58 and 41 square feet (Parcels 12543-2 and 12543-4), respectively. These
areas will be used to construct the new sidewalk on Parcel 12543-1. These temporary easements were appraised at $374.36 (Parcel 12543-2) and $264.64 (Parcel 12543-4). The appraisal also included the replacement cost of a fence and gate on the property which was valued at $1,428.95. This resulted in a total valuation of just compensation for the permanent and two (2) temporary construction easements of $10,900. In addition, Caltrans has offered another $1,090 in compensation as an incentive to the City to grant the easements provided the City does so by November 27, 2024. A permit to enter and construct (Parcel 12543-3) consisting of approximately 252 square feet is also requested to conform the existing driveway elevation and surfaces to the project improvements. As stated above, a permit to enter and construct is non-compensable because the work performed on these areas are not required for the project and are a convenience and benefit for the property owner. 330 Guadalupe Street (Amtrak Station property) – Parcel 12551:
A temporary construction easement of approximately 170 square feet is required on Parcel 12551 for the project. This is the location of the Amtrak station (330 Guadalupe Street). A map of the area is attached hereto as Attachment 5.
This temporary construction easement (Parcel 12551-1) was appraised as $700. An incentive payment of $1,000 in addition to the $700 payment will be given to the City if this easement is accepted by November 27, 2024. Parcel 12551-2 is a permit to enter and construct consisting of a 921 square foot area located behind the temporary construction easement (Parcel 12551-1). This permit to enter and construct is used for conforming the existing driveway elevation and surfaces to the project improvements and is non-compensable.
884 Guadalupe Street (Vietnam Veterans Memorial Plaza) – Parcel 12541:
Caltrans requires one (1) temporary easement and two (2) permits to enter and construct at the City’s Vietnam Veterans Memorial Plaza (aka “City Parking Lot”) located at 884 Guadalupe Street. A map depicting the easements is attached hereto as Attachment 6. The temporary easement (Parcel 12541- 1) consists of approximately 143 square feet. This easement area was appraised at $900, but Caltrans has offered an additional $1,000 incentive payment if this easement is granted before December 9, 2024.
The two (2) permits to enter and construct (Parcels 12541-2 and 12541-3) consisting of 396 and 363 square feet, respectively, are both non-compensable permits to conform the parking lot elevation to the new project improvements.
4646 10th Street (former Al’s Union property) – Parcel 12524:
Caltrans requires one (1) temporary easement and one (1) permit to enter and construct at the site of the former Al’s Union, a vacant property currently owned by the City and located at 4646 10th Street. A map depicting the easements is attached hereto as Attachment 7. The temporary easement (Parcel 12524-1) consists of approximately 54 square feet. This easement area was appraised at $500, but Caltrans has offered an additional $1,000 incentive payment if this easement is granted before December 9, 2024. The permit to enter and construct (Parcel 12524-2) consists of 196 square feet, is a non-compensable permit to conform the existing lot elevation to the new project improvements. 1025 Guadalupe Street (Veterans Memorial Building) – Parcel 12525:
Caltrans requires one (1) temporary easement and one (1) permit to enter and construct at the City’s Veterans Memorial Building located at 1025 Guadalupe Street. A map depicting the parcel is attached
hereto as Attachment 7. The temporary easement (Parcel 12525-1) consists of approximately 158 square feet. This easement area was appraised at $1,350, but Caltrans has offered an additional $1,000 incentive payment if this easement is granted before December 17, 2024. The permit to enter and construct (Parcel 12525-2) consists of 660 square feet, is a non-compensable permit to conform the existing lot elevation to the new project improvements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City’s general fund will be increased by $18,350 from the compensation offered for the easements by Caltrans including the various incentive payments if the Council agrees to grant all of them.

SUBJECT: Authorizing a New Employment Agreement between the City of Guadalupe and Todd Bodem as City Administrator
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-71 approving a new employment agreement with Todd Bodem as City Administrator and authorizing the Mayor to sign the agreement on behalf of the City.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council approved an employment agreement with Todd Bodem as the City Administrator at its meeting on November 12, 2024. This agreement was for a three-year period from November 12, 2024, through October 31, 2027.
As required by this agreement, the City Council informed Mr. Bodem after June 30, 2024, of its intention to enter into a new employment agreement with him. The alternative was to inform him at that time if the agreement would not be extended. The negotiations for this new agreement concluded after Mr. Bodem accepted the terms of the City Council’s proposal approved at the conclusion of a closed session on this matter held at the Council meeting on November 12, 2024.
DISCUSSION:
A copy of the new employment agreement between the City and Mr. Bodem is attached as Exhibit 1 to the Resolution for this item (attached hereto as Attachment 1). The agreement is based on the same terms as the prior agreement, with the following changes:
• A term of three (3) years from November 12, 2024, through October 31, 2027. • Base salary will be $170,744.12, effective 11/2/24. A six percent (6%) salary increase may be granted on or after November 1, 2025, and a six (6%) salary increase on or after November 1, 2026, if he receives a “satisfactory” performance evaluation from the City Council.
Sylvia Estrada
• In addition to the standard City contribution, if health care premiums increase during the term of this contract, the City will contribute up to a maximum of 10% of the increase toward the employees’ out-of-pocket costs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
• The initial salary increase results in a cost savings of $3,938.80 for the current budget.
The cost in the second year will increase by up to $13,918.78, and in the third year, it will increase by up to $14,846.22.
