COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
JULY 16, 2024
PREPARED BY: Melanie Correa, Administrative Services Director SUBJECT: Employee Contract and Amendment between City of Gustine and Public Works Supervisor and Chief of Police
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City engages certain classifications through employment contracts, as opposed to through a collective bargaining agreement. Contracted employees are generally with those classifications that are deemed exempt in accordance with the regulations imposed by the Department of Industrial Relations.
Employee contracts between the City and its Chief of Police, as well as its Public Works Supervisor were set to expire on June 30, 2024. As such, staff engaged in the negotiations process with both employees separately. As a result of those negotiations, staff has developed a one-year amendment to the Chief of Police employment contract (Exhibit A) and a new two-year employment contract for Public Works Supervisor (Exhibit BJ.
The first amendment to the Chief of Police contract allows for an updated term through June 30, 2025, and includes a 2% cost of living adjustment effective on either the day after the last day of employment of the current Acting Chief of Police, or on October 15, whichever occurs first.
The contract for Public Works Supervisor modified the original employment contract set to expire on June 30, 2024, accommodating the three amendments made in 2021, 2022 and 2023. The proposed new contract (Exhibit B) includes cost of living adjustments for each year of the two-year contract - 6.5% the first year, and 3% the second year. The contract also allows for a technology stipend for cell phone and includes language delineating maximum vacation accrual amounts.
FISCAL IMPACT
As negotiations began prior to the FY25 budget adoption, fiscal impacts associated with the amendment and employment contract have been accounted for within the adopted FY 24/25 financial budget. Employee salary and additional stipends are allocated across the classifications payroll split.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
JULY 16, 2024
PREPARED BY: Soknirorn Than, City Manager
SUBJECT: Cancellation of Regular City Council Meeting Scheduled for August 6, 2024 Due to Summer Recess
BACKGROUND
The City Council has been in continuous session since January. During this time, Council members and staff have actively participated in deliberations, community engagement, and policy-making efforts critical to the City's governance. The workload and responsibilities inherent in these activities necessitate periodic breaks for both staff and Council members. In fact, many jurisdictions have chosen the month of July or August to schedule this recess, MCAG holds a "dark month" each September for similar reasons.
DISCUSSION
The purpose of a recess is to allow Council members to spend dedicated time with constituents and address local issues. This recess also provides an opportunity for Council and staff to catch up on administrative tasks and prepare for upcoming sessions.
Specifically, for this Fiscal Year (FY 25), there are significant increases in projects as well as recruitments. Since the budget was adopted, staff has been working diligently to procure new equipment, vehicles, and solicit contracts for various projects, making the months of July and August a critical period for staff to roll out work plans and implementation schedules. Secondly, staff is also working on closing out Fiscal Year 2024, which involves various account reconciliations, adjustments, and reporting.
The proposed recess is recommended for the first regular Council meeting in August (8/6/2024), selected to minimize disruption to scheduled Council activities while providing time for Council members and staff to focus on community needs.
During this period, City services will continue as normal. Administrative staff will remain available to handle routine inquiries and urgent matters. Precautions will be taken to ensure that any time-sensitive legislative or regulatory actions are addressed appropriately before the recess begins.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to this action.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a summer recess and cancel the August 6, 2024 regular council meeting.
ITEM NO. 9
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
JULY 16, 2024
PREPARED BY: Jenny Morrison, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Direct Staff to Send out Warrant Checks prior to August 20, 2024 Meeting
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Contingent upon Council's approval of the preceding item on the consent calendar, the August 6t Council meeting may be cancelled to allow for a summer recess period.
The next regularly schedule Council meeting will be held on August 20, 2024. During the recess, the City will still have bills that must be paid in order for the continuance of business.
Towards that effect, staff requests Council's direction to send out payments for bills in advance of the August 20, 2024 Council meeting. Staff will mail out the checks ahead of the meeting with any warrant issued between July 17 through August 20 to be listed on the warrant list published in the August 20 agenda packet to be ratified by Council as normal.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. The action is expected to save the City money from potential late fees on City accounts.
RECOMMENDATION
Direct staff to send out payments in advance of the August 20th meeting and include those payments on the Warrant List for that same meeting.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
JULY 16, 2024
PREPARED BY: Soknirorn Than, City Manager
SUBJECT: Gustine Historical Society Mural Pilot Program at the Al Goman Community Center
BACKGROUND
A proposal for a mural was submitted by Gustine Historical Society in May 2024. The mural is proposed for installation on the east wall of the Al Goman Community Center located at 745 Linden Avenue, Gustine, CA 95322.
The City has no formal policy or program in place related to mural installation.
Therefore, each request for installation must come before City Council for review and approval. For this reason, this request will be used as a pilot for City evaluation and for City Council to determine if a formal policy or program is warranted.
DISCUSSION
Within the last couple of years, the Gustine Historical Society (GHS) has toured other cities in California to look for ways to promote community engagement and historical values through art works. Through this journey, GHS has seen many murals in communities that promote these values. In early 2024, GHS engaged City staff in evaluating options to pilot a mural within the City of Gustine.
As the City has limited real estate within the core downtown area, the Al Goman Community Center presents a unique opportunity. This center is located within Harry Schmidt Park and along a well-used Class I Multi-Use Trail. With this as a potential site, GHS has engaged an artist named Alexandra Riddle, who also painted the mural in the City of Gustine Council Chamber.
With the Artist determined, GHS conducted multiple board meetings to determine the theme as well as other logistics related to installation. Since the mural will serve as a cultural landmark for the City, GHS would like to present their draft artwork and solicit input from City Council prior to installation.
In the meantime, staff has conducted research on various mural programs within other agencies. Since the City does not have a formal policy or program in place, staff recommends the City Council allow the installation of this mural as a pilot program.
Staff is proposing to allow this installation through an encroachment permit. The specific conditions for this installation are attached as Exhibit B. These conditions of approval are a combination of best practices from various jurisdictions in California and are meant to limit the City's liability while clearly outlining expectations for the permittee, GHS.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to this action, as this is a community project meant to promote community engagement; staff recommends Council waive the encroachment permit fee associated with this project. Per the permit conditions, City maintenance responsibilities remain unchanged and that maintenance of the mural beyond the normal clean-up is the responsibility of the permittee, GHS.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council to take the following actions:
- Receive public comment
Review and consider approving proposed art work for mural installation on the east wall of the Goman Center
- Authorize the City Manager to issue an encroachment permit for the installation of the mural with the associated conditions of approval - Waive the encroachment permit fees for this project

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
JULY 16, 2024
PREPARED BY: City Attorney, Best Best & Krieger, LLP
SUBJECT: Council Direction Regarding Potential Dispositions of City Real Property and Introduction to Disposition Procedures
BACKGROUND
The City has recently been approached by two separate and unrelated prospective purchasers seeking to purchase two separate and unrelated parcels of City real property. The two properties at issue ("Properties"} are identified in Exhibit A and Exhibit B and described below. Staff is seeking direction on whether City Council desires to dispose of the properties, and if so, whether Council has a preference on selling or leasing the properties.
The Properties
The City has been approached by two separate business owners who have inquired about purchasing two different, non-adjoining properties in town for miscellaneous uses.
The City has not previously advertised the properties for sale, and the City does not have documentation indicating whether other individuals have approached the City regarding sale of these properties in the past.
To date, the Council has not discussed whether there is a desire to retain the properties for City use in the future or to mark the properties as disposable.
Information on each of the properties is attached. The properties are APN numbers 020- 081-002 (located near the intersection of Grove Avenue and South Avenue and zoned C-2 General Commercial) and 020-260-013 (located where Jensen Road meets Highway 33 and zoned C-N Neighborhood Commercial). Both are relatively small, with the larger of the two being 0.19 of an acre. One is highway frontage and the other is immediately behind highway frontage owned by another property owner.
DISCUSSION
' Staff is seeking direction on whether Council wishes to retain the properties for potential future City use or dispose of them by sale or lease.
Future Procedures if the Council wishes to dispose of the Properties If the City Council desires to dispose of the properties, the City must comply with certain legal procedures.
The first step toward disposal would be compliance with the California Surplus Land Act
(Government Code Section 54220 et seq.) (the "Act"), which requires all local agencies to prioritize affordable housing, as well as parks and open space, when disposing of "surplus land." The Legislature updated the Act significantly in 2019 to expand its requirements. Before a local agency may dispose of land that is no longer necessary for its use, the land must be declared either "surplus land" or "exempt surplus land," as supported by written findings.
For "surplus land," the City must refrain from any early negotiations and go through a formal process to offer the land to qualifying housing and governmental entities and negotiate with responsive parties. However, the Act contains exemptions for certain types of land ("exempt surplus land") where this formal process does not apply. One such exemption applies to land that (i) is less than one-half acre in area, and (ii) is not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open-space or low- and moderate-income housing purposes. It appears the properties may qualify for this exemption. If they do, the City would need to adopt a resolution in a regular public meeting declaring the properties as exempt-surplus land. The City would then need to submit this resolution to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for a 30-day review period prior to disposal. If an exemption does not apply, the City would need to undertake the lengthy ordinary surplus land procedures under the Act.
Aside from the Act, the City would also need to comply with other procedures. It is recommended that the City obtain appraisals to ensure the City receives fair value for the properties. The City would need to ensure it complies with the California Environmental Quality Act and the City's General Plan. (See Government Code section 65402.) Several of these procedures would still apply if the Council wants to lease the properties but they could be slightly less complex. Both options require additional steps under the Act and Government Code but staff would bring back specifics following direction by Council on preferred action for each property.
FISCAL IMPACT
None at this stage.
RECOMMENDATION
Provide direction to staff on which one of the three options the Council would like to pursue for each of the two properties discussed:
l . Retain for potential future use by City
2. Sell the properties
3. Lease the properties

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
JULY 16, 2024
PREPARED BY: Jami Westervelt, Economic and Community Development Director SUBJECT: Agreement for Additional Work for City-Specific Tasks Related to the Sixth Cycle Housing Element
BACKGROUND
For more than a year, the City has been working on the Merced County MultiJurisdictional Housing Element (MJHE), for which all the jurisdictions in Merced County are participating. While the City is part of the countywide effort, the City ultimately holds responsibility for approving and implementing its own specific Sixth Cycle Housing Element (HE) as required by the State of California.
Participating in the MJHE has provided the City savings over soliciting and contracting with an individual consultant for work to date but, as has been discussed throughout the process, there is much work that must still take place in each jurisdiction on top of the MJHE. The amount of additional work varies by jurisdiction and is related to conditions such as how recently the General Plan (GP) was adopted, how closely the jurisdiction's existing zoning code mirrors State requirements, and whether additional GP updates beyond the Housing Element are triggered by the HE.
The City of Gustine has a substantial amount of work it must complete related to State mandates for certification of its HE that is not a part of the regional MJHE contract administered through Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG).
The City has historically contracted for work on its HE due to the complexity and short deadlines imposed by the State for the remainder of the work on the Sixth Cycle HE. This makes continuing to contract for the work even more important for the City.
Based on experiences to this point in the MJHE, staff recommends the City approach this next phase of required tasks by contracting directly with Rincon Consultants, Inc. to complete the consultant work.
DISCUSSION
Throughout the MJHE development to date, the Council, the Planning Commission and the public have all asked highly technical questions regarding the specific, detailed parameters on State requirements and basis for some MJHE assumptions related to those. Rincon has experience in both developing the Merced County MJHE to this point and working with the State on submissions by other jurisdictions for the Sixth Cycle, which provides them the expertise to best address these types of questions.
By contracting with Rincon to both perform the remainder of the work and to participate in the Commission and Council meetings, staff believes both bodies will receive a higher level of technical assistance moving forward in the complex process of
bringing the City into compliance and toward the ultimate goal of certification of its Sixth Cycle HE.
Familiarity with the MJHE contents and the City's portion of the MJHE provides Rincon an advantage over outside consultants for this work, who would need to spend a significant amount of time educating on the document, its history and the City itself.
MCAG selected Rincon after conducting a competitive process. The Gustine Municipal Code permits the City to award professional services contracts without seeking proposals "when determined to be necessary or advisable." (GMC Sec. 2-6-42(b)(6)) For all of the foregoing reasons, City staff and legal counsel believe that the proposed contract with Rincon meets that criteria. The City will utilize its own separate, standard Professional Services Agreement as approved by legal counsel.
The attached proposal from Rincon outlines the tasks, approach and cost based on the current MJHE and City HE schedule. The work for the City includes Environmental Review, changes to the General Plan (specifically Land Use sections for congruence with the HE) and Residential Zoning designations and Zoning code.
An important addition to the proposal calls for Rincon to participate at least remotely in the meetings where documents will be reviewed and approved and at hearings. This is something that the Council has asked for in past meetings for which there is a cost associated that is included in this estimate.
Staff has also asked Rincon to provide all analysis and task work related to the full 16 sites that the City identified as meeting basic site criteria going back to July 2023.
Analyzing the full 16 does not increase costs but having the analysis in hand will allow the City to pivot if the State forces the City to consider sites other than the five in the draft HE. While HCD could require the City to look at sites beyond the 16, it is unlikely given that those 16 meet priorities in State guidelines based on vacancy, current zoning and size. The analysis included in the final documents will only be for the sites that are ultimately included in the adopted Housing Element. If the State approves the five sites submitted on the Site Inventory, only the five sites will be included in the analysis and documents in this contract.
The proposal includes details for each task but the highlights are as follows:
a. CEQA Analysis-detail tasks are outlined in the proposal. b. General Plan Amendments-The zoning changes necessitate text amendments to the City's General Plan. The Scope covers only those Plan areas that are required to change for conforming to the HE specifications. The City will still need to undergo a comprehensive General Plan update in the future. c. Zoning Text Amendments-Updates to the City residential zoning districts are needed to support zoning changes in the HE.
d. Zoning and Land Use Map Amendments- prepare and update General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning map based on the recommendations. e. Two Rezoning/Study Session workshops-This is conceptualized as one session with Planning Commission and a separate one with Council. f. Staff Report and Hearing Materials-Rincon will prepare the reports related to the work and City staff will post public notices and notify property owners. g. Attendance at Public Hearings- This is conceptualized as one session with Planning Commission and a separate one with Council.
Staff does not anticipate utilizing Rincon to complete the "Optional/ As-Needed Public Engagement" listed in the proposal but would have the opportunity to if the City Council or Planning Commission decided to request those services as part of this agreement with Rincon in the future.
Regardless of the consultant, the City needs to contract for these services based on the lack of in-house expertise, staffing level and workload. The State requires the City to meet a one-year rezone deadline of January 31, 2025. Contracting with Rincon provides the City the best possibility of meeting that goal.
Staff feels it is important to advise the Council that the State could provide comments that would require multiple drafts and revisions that would affect this work and the Countywide MJHE. If this occurs, staff will bring the issue back to the Council to discuss the impacts to this contract and its budget. At this time, it is impossible to predict State comments or the specific impacts. While it is a possibility, it is one that the City will need to address with more information in the future if it comes to pass.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposal from Rincon is for $155,299 for all tasks (after excluding the $25,000 in public engagement items that were optional and are not being pursued at this time).
The City received a Local Early Action Planning Grant (LEAP) award from HCD back in 2020 that expires later this calendar year for which HCD may agree to alter the scope and deliverables to fund a portion of this contract work. The scope change request has been submitted to HCD.
The LEAP grants are designated to assist in the preparation and adoption of planning documents and process improvements that accelerate housing production and facilitate compliance to implement the sixth cycle of the regional housing need assessment. If approved, LEAP could fund up to $65,000 of this contract. The City and consultants anticipate that the work billable to LEAP could be completed by the deadlines for the LEAP funding.
The City is also looking at funding from the REAP 2.0 allocations, the majority of which was restored in the most recent State budget. MCAG states they are awaiting final guidance from HCD but the department has informed them that the funding could be used for work demonstrating a nexus to program area objectives that may fit with this contract work. The previous allocation to the City for REAP 2.0 exceeded the remaining $90,299 on the contract after the LEAP funding. However, it is not determined at this time if this source will be verified as usable for the remainder of this contract.
If not successful in finding grant funding for the work, the City will need to identify other allowable funds for this work-including the general fund-as the City has done for prior Housing Element submissions. Inability to fund the required work is not a factor that the State currently recognizes or makes allowances for at this time.
For the above reasons, staff recommends that the City Council appropriate an additional expenditure 0f $155,299.00 in the General Fund (fund 001) for this project.
Once we have received approval for LEAP and/or REAP 2.0 staff will submit for reimbursement to then put back into the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend the Council approve the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to contract directly with Rincon Consultants, Inc. to carry out the tasks as outlined in the attached proposal and to appropriate an expenditure of $155,299.00 for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 in the General Fund (Fund 001) for this project.

Subject: Proposal for Planning Support for Environmental Review and Housing Element Rezoning
Dear Ms. Westervelt:
This letter proposes for Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) to provide planning services related to the City's Housing Element Update. We have discussed options for an environmental review of the City's Housing Element and associated rezoning work with City staff. We identified opportunities for efficiency by combining environmental review for the Housing Element Update, rezoning, and General Plan updates related to the Safety Element update and new Environmental Justice Element.
This proposal covers additional work to include in the CEQA analysis (Task 1):
• Rezoning to maintain Housing Element compliance,
• Safety Element update,
• Adoption of a new Environmental Justice Element; and
• Minor changes to the Land Use Element.
We also discussed whether the City would need additional planning support for processing the rezones. The proposal includes all of the tasks required to complete rezonings (Task 2); however, it is fully customizable based on City direction during contract formation.
Based on discussions with City staff, Rincon understands that the City's outreach and engagement needs are dynamic, and we propose an on-call arrangement for additional outreach efforts that the City may find necessary as it moves through the Housing Element update and rezoning process (Task 3).
Background
Rincon is currently assisting the Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG) with a MultiJurisdictional Housing Element Update (MJHEU) for the 6 cycle Housing Element. As a member jurisdiction, the City of Gustine is included in the MJHEU. As part of the MJHEU, Rincon will prepare CEQA analyses for each jurisdiction's Housing Element update, but the existing scope of work excludes rezoning from that analysis. That contract scope of work (Attachment 1, Task 6) assumed preparation of an Initial Study/ (Mitigated) Negative Declaration (IS/[M]ND). Changes in scope to that task may be memorialized with MCAG, but are also described here to aid City staff in decision making. www.rin con consultants. com

Proposal for Planning Support for Environmental Review and Housing Element Rezoning HCD Review
Rincon understands that additional work may be required following the City's Housing Element review by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Rincon's existing scope of work with MCAG includes one round of revisions to the draft Housing Element after HCD's first review. In that scope of work, it was assumed jurisdictions would receive a finding of substantial compliance on the draft Housing Element and would then proceed to preparation of the final Housing Element and adoption. However, mostjurisdictions will not achieve substantial compliance after HCD's first review of the draft Housing Element. Rincon has alerted all participating jurisdictions, and those that need additional support may contract with Rincon directly.
Scope of Work
Task 1 CEQA Analysis
As noted above, Rincon is currently scoped to provide CEQA analysis for Gustine's Housing Element but not scoped to include CEQA analysis considering any proposed rezoning. Rincon proposes the following supplement to the original scope and budget included as part of the MJHEU contract. In summary, we propose to complete a CEQA Addendum to the City's existing General Plan EIR that would include impact analysis related to the Housing Element, any proposed rezoning and Land Use Element updates associated with Housing Element implementation, as well as the City's ongoing Safety Element and Environmental Justice Element process. This proposal includes additional costs to accommodate analysis of the zoning text and map amendments, Land Use Element text and map amendments, Safety Element Update, and adoption of new Environmental Justice Element.
CEQA Guidelines include criteria for determining the appropriate additional environmental documentation to be completed when a project has a previously certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR). CEQA Guidelines state that an Addendum to a previously certified EIR is the appropriate CEQA documentation if the project would not result in new or substantially greater environmental impacts or require new mitigation beyond that analyzed in the previously certified EIR. Per CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, an addendum may be prepared if some changes or additions are necessary, but none of the conditions have occurred that would trigger a subsequent or supplemental document (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163). This is the most efficient approach because Gustine's existing General Plan Land Use Element projected growth incorporates the anticipated growth and changes related to the rezone program.
In reviewing the City's General Plan, based on the lack of housing and population growth that has occurred in the City since the adoption of the General Plan in 1998 compared to the buildout scenario utilized in the EIR, Rincon anticipates that a CEQA Addendum to the previous General Plan EIR is appropriate. The General Plan and EIR anticipated an increase of 2.5 percent growth in the City per year through the year 2020 with an anticipated buildout of 8,000 people by the year 2000. As of 2023, the California Department of Finance (DOF) estimates that the population in the City is 5,945. Since the City's growth under the current General Plan and Zoning Code is not producing the increase of housing units and associated population that was anticipated in the General Plan and EIR, and therefore the City has not reached the anticipated buildout of, it is reasonable to assume that the proposed Housing Element which identifies capacity for approximately 433 residential units (or approximately 1,260 people) would not exceed the buildout projections considered as part of the EIR.
Rather, the Housing Element and required rezone program are intended to assist the City in achieving the vision of the General Plan and providing the necessary housing units to accommodate the regional growth. It is not anticipated that the Housing Element or rezone program would result in a substantial 2
r
City of Gustine
Proposal for Planning Support for Environmental Review and Housing Element Rezoning increase in environmental impacts or create new impacts not previously identified as part of the General Plan EIR. Thus, Rincon will prepare a CEQA Addendum document.
Further, because the City is undergoing updates to the Safety Element and Environmental Justice Element as well, Rincon will include the potential impacts associated with those elements in addition to the Housing Element and Rezone Program. While the Safety Element and Environmental Justice Element may have some minor physical alterations to the environment, none of the changes or improvements are anticipated to be substantial such that they would increase the severity of any impacts or create new impacts not previously analyzed as part of the General Plan EIR.
The Addendum will, to the extent possible, rely on existing environmental documentation and technical studies prepared for the project area, including the General Plan Final EIR, and the technical studies completed for that project. This work program outlines the steps that would be needed to adhere to state environmental documentation requirements.
Preparation of the Addendum will include the following tasks:
Project Description
As part of this task, we will gather any additional materials available for the proposed Housing Element update and rezoning program along with the Safety Element and Environmental Justice Element, including relevant planning documents, any technical analyses prepared by the City, and recent environmental documentation prepared for projects in or near the project area. Rincon will then prepare a detailed project description, including tabular and graphic information, for review by the City and project team. This review is critical, since it forms the basis for environmental evaluation under CEQA. The project description will provide a detailed summary of the Housing Element site inventory and proposed rezone program, and will analyze the 16 sites identified as meeting minimum requirements for the site inventory, regardless of whether those sites are included in the final site inventory submitted as part of the Housing Element. The project description will be based on additional information to be provided by the City and project team. Textual, tabular, and graphic presentation will be used as necessary to facilitate a thorough understanding of the proposed project. Tables and graphics will be prepared to illustrate clearly the changes proposed by the rezone program. The project description will include:
• A thorough explanation of Housing Element, RHNA, and site inventory, as well as proposed changes resulting from the rezone program, Safety Element, and Environmental Justice Element • A discussion of planned development characteristics at buildout • Features that have been incorporated into the project to minimize potential environmental or land use conflicts, if any
• Tables illustrating project characteristics and the degree of change from existing conditions and currently adopted Zoning Code and land use designations • Supporting graphics, as necessary
We will provide the City with an electronic version of the draft project description for review. Upon City approval of the draft project description, we will prepare the Administrative Draft Addendum.
Administrative Draft Addendum
This task includes all of the steps necessary to complete an Administrative Draft Addendum for the proposed Housing Element, rezone program, and Safety and Environmental Justice Elements. The Addendum would contain all sections required pursuant to CEQA. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines 3
r
City of Gustine
Proposal for Planning Support for Environmental Review and Housing Element Rezoning Section 15164, the Addendum will include only the information necessary to make the previous EIR adequately apply to the project in the changed situation. As explained in CEQA Guidelines Section 15151:
An EIR should be prepared with a sufficient degree of analysis to provide decision-makers with information which enables them to make a decision which intelligently takes account of environmental consequences. An evaluation of the environmental effects of a proposed project need not be exhaustive, but the sufficiency of an EIR is to be reviewed in light of what is reasonably feasible.
To the extent possible, Rincon will incorporate information from existing environmental and planning documents that are applicable to the project area and project. Rincon will submit electronic copies of the Administrative Draft Addendum (in Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat), along with associated appendices, to the City for review and comment. This task includes one round of City staff review and revisions based on one set of consolidated comments provided by City staff. In addition, Rincon will prepare for and attend two, one-hour meetings with City staff to discuss City comments and revisions.
Final Addendum
Upon receiving one consolidated set of City comments on the Administrative Draft Addendum, we will prepare a Final Addendum for certification. We will provide one electronic version (in Adobe Acrobat) to distribute along with the final rezone program. The full administrative CEQA record will be sent to the City at this time.
There are no public notification or review requirements for an addendum. The City will present the Addendum along with the Housing Element, rezone program, Safety Element and Environmental Justice Element to the City Council for approval at the same time.
Consultation Support and Revisions
Rincon will assist the City to conduct government-to-government tribal consultation in accordance with Assembly Bill 52 of 2014 (AB 52) and Senate Bill 18 of 2004 (SB 18). Even if no tribal lands are currently designated within City limits, City still has responsibility to consult with active tribes in the area. Rincon can assist with identifying local tribal groups if none have previously been identified. If none are active, our team will be able to advise as to how this task should proceed. In this case, Rincon will contact City staff to discuss the future of this task.
As part of this task, Rincon will prepare the AB 52- and SB 18-specific letters to be placed on City letterhead, prepare and submit a Native American Heritage Commission Sacred Lands File SB 18 request, and prepare a tracking sheet and instructions that will be provided to the City. The instructions will include details regarding schedule and timelines associated with AB 52 and SB 18 to ensure timely consultation. This task also assumes 12 hours of Principal time to coordinate with interested tribes on behalf of the City and includes revisions to various sections of the Addendum documents as necessary based on City feedback in preparation of public hearings.

• All documents will be delivered digitally.
Deliverables
• Administrative Draft Project Description (Microsoft Word file) • Administrative Draft Addendum (Microsoft Word file)

Proposal for Planning Support for Environmental Review and Housing Element Rezoning • Final Addendum, addressing one set of consolidated, non-conflicting comments from City staff (Microsoft Word file)
• Updated Notice of Determination form
• AB 52 or SB 18 consultation support
Task 1.1 Notice of Determination
Once the Addendum is certified, Rincon will file the Notice of Determination (NOD) with the County Clerk's office and the State Clearinghouse if desired. We assume the City will have its receipt from filing the California Department of Fish & Wildlife (CDFW) fees at the time the General Plan EIR was certified. Otherwise, additional CDFW fees could be required. While the current CDFW fee for an EIR is approximately $4,000, the amount required in the case of non-payment could differ and will be determined in consultation with the State Clearinghouse and CDFW.
Assumptions
• The City will provide a check for all required fees, including CDFW and other County fees. • Rincon staff will facilitate filing the NOD electronically. No travel has been assumed.
Deliverables
• Notice of Determination
Task 2 Planning Support for Rezoning
Task 2.1 General Plan Text Amendments
Rincon will prepare text amendments to the City's General Plan to facilitate the necessary zoning ordinance updates and map changes. This includes modifications to all residential land use designations, including changes to the High Density Residential land use designation to allow between 20 to 25 dwelling units per acre.
Rincon understands that the Land Use Element is currently available as a PDF file and that there are inconsistencies between the Land Use Element and Zoning Code. This file must be converted to Word format to allow for edits to be made. Our cost estimate does account for conversion of the document to Word before any edits are made.
Rincon will respond to one round of consolidated City comments on the Draft Land Use Element. It is anticipated that Rincon will email the Draft Land Use Element Microsoft Word file to staff and will provide approximately three weeks for review. Alternatively, Rincon can upload the document to a Share Point site and City staff can work collaboratively within that file. It is assumed that comments will be made by City staff using the track change function in Microsoft Word, and that the draft document will be emailed back to staff by the end of the pre-determined review period.
The amended Land Use Element will be posted to the City's website for public review and comment.
Rincon will respond to all public comments prior to any public hearings scheduled for approval of the amended Land Use Element and has budgeted for one meeting to discuss all edits with staff prior to public hearings. In addition, Rincon has assumed preparation for one City Council hearing, which includes development of a presentation, attendance at the hearing, and presentation of the project to City Council, as outlined in Task 2.6.

• Final Amended Land Use Element (Microsoft Word file)
Task 2.2 Zoning Text Amendments
Task 2.2.1 RHNA Required Zoning Code Amendments
Rincon will prepare necessary updates to the City's residential zoning district provisions to support Zoning Map amendments. Sites in the City's inventory that are designated for rezoning, to meet the City's share of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation for lower-income units, must be rezoned to allow a minimum of 20 dwelling units per acre (per Government Code Section 65583.2(c)(3)(B)(iii)), and the Housing Element contemplates a maximum density of 25 dwelling units per acre. Therefore, Rincon recommends modifying the density of the existing R-4 district (Sec. 4-29-020, Residential-professional districts [R-4]) to establish a minimum density of 20 units per acre, and a maximum density of 25 units per acre. Rincon's work on the Zoning Code will address zoning changes to all residential districts as well as development standards that will allow for future development at densities assumed in the Housing Element.
Rincon will also prepare necessary modifications for compliance with Government Code Section 65583.2 (h) and (i) which applies to rezone sites to accommodate the RHNA for lower-income households. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.2 (h) and (i) and Program 3-4, the ordinance shall be amended to allow by-right approval for Projects with 20 Percent Affordable Units.
Specific amendments include:
o Permit owner-occupied and rental multifamily uses by right for developments in which 20 percent or more of the units are affordable to lower-income households. o Permit the development of at least 16 units per site. o Ensure sites permit a minimum of 20 dwelling units per acre Rincon understands that the Zoning Code is currently available on Municode. The files can be downloaded as a Microsoft Word document but will require formatting. Our cost estimate accounts for formatting of the Word document.
Rincon will respond to two rounds of consolidated City comments on the Draft Zoning Code and has budgeted for one meeting to discuss all edits with staff prior to public hearings. It is anticipated that Rincon will email the Draft Amended Zoning Code as a Microsoft Word file to staff and will provide approximately three weeks for review. Alternatively, Rincon can upload the document to a SharePoint site and City staff can work collaboratively within that file. It is assumed that comments will be made by City staff using the track change function in Microsoft Word, and that the draft document will be emailed back to staff by the end of the pre-determined review period.
The amended Zoning Code will be posted to the City's website for public review and comment. Rincon will respond to all public comments prior to any public hearings scheduled for approval of the amended Zoning Code. Rincon has assumed preparation for one City Council hearing, which includes development of a presentation, attendance at the hearing, and presentation of the project to City 6
r
City of Gustine
Proposal for Planning Support for Environmental Review and Housing Element Rezoning Council, as described in Task 2.6. It is assumed that the Zoning Code will be considered at the same City Council hearing scheduled for the updates to the General Plan. If not, additional travel costs will be charged.
Assumptions
• Rincon allocated 134 hours of staff time to for this task. • All documents will be delivered digitally.
Deliverables
• Draft and final memo summarizing recommended amendments to Zoning Code (Microsoft Word file)
• Draft and final amended Zoning Code (Microsoft Word file) Optional: Instead of the scope of work described in Task 2.2.1, Rincon can develop a new zoning district, to be applied to Housing Element inventory sites, that allows densities of 20-25 units per acre.
We recommend, for efficiency, that the new district use the same development standards as the R-4 district. We understand that City staff are considering this option, and if chosen, we can revise this proposal and provide a cost estimate for preparation of a new zoning district instead of modifications to existing zoning district as described in Task 2.2.1.
Task 2.2.2 Zoning Text Amendments
Rincon recognizes that the Housing Element identifies several other changes that must be made to the Zoning Code to address recently approved housing legislation, and that there are inconsistencies between the Land Use Element and Zoning Code. Rincon will edit the Zoning Code to bring the document into compliance with state legislation and to obtain consistency with the Land Use Element.
Rincon will prepare a memo summarizing the recommended amendments outlined in Housing Element programs. Recommendations will be based on the individual amendments' ability to contribute to the City meeting its share of the RHNA, the simplicity of the amendments, and future compliance with state law. Rincon will prepare amendments once City staff have agreed on the scope of the amendments and the memo is finalized.
Rincon understands that the Zoning Code is currently available on Municode. The files can be downloaded as a Microsoft Word document but will require formatting. The cost estimate for Task
2.2.1 accounts for formatting of the Word document.
Rincon will respond to two rounds of consolidated City comments on the Draft Zoning Code and has budgeted for one meeting to discuss all edits with staff prior to public hearings. It is anticipated that Rincon will email the Draft Amended Zoning Code as a Microsoft Word file to staff and will provide approximately three weeks for review. Alternatively, Rincon can upload the document to a SharePoint site and City staff can work collaboratively within that file.

Schedule
We have prepared an estimated schedule (Table 2) based on the following assumptions:
• This start date anticipates that any potential changes to the rezone strategy in response to HCD comments on the Housing Element will be resolved prior to this work being initiated. • This schedule assumes two-week turnaround times for City staff's review of deliverables and twoweek preparation periods for revisions to each draft of the Zoning Ordinance Updates following the Administrative Draft.
• The City is subject to a one-year rezoning deadline of January 31, 2025. Based on the estimated MJHEU schedule (Table 3, below) the Housing Element is anticipated to be adopted by the rezoning deadline. That schedule is subject to change based on each jurisdiction's individual needs and the scope of revisions required upon HCD review. We will make every effort to complete all tasks under this scope of work by the rezoning deadline. However, delays in executing a contract or scheduling hearings or meetings, longer-than-expected review times, or other unforeseen delays may affect our ability to meet that estimated timeline.
Furthermore, the City may want to delay the final adoption of zoning and land use text and map amendments based on the following factors:
• If the Housing Element is not certified by HCD by the rezoning deadline, and if, based on HCD comments it is anticipated that revisions to the site inventory beyond the 16 alternative sites already identified and analyzed as part of this project will require the City to identify additional sites to achieve certification (although unlikely), the City may want to delay adoption of land use 11

City of Gustine
Proposal for Planning Support for Environmental Review and Housing Element Rezoning and zoning text and map amendments until the site inventory is complete and the City has received a finding of substantial compliance. The City will be out of compliance until the Housing Element is adopted and required rezonings are complete. The City can proceed with rezonings ahead of Housing Element certification, but would risk completing a rezoning program that doesn't fully implement the Housing Element once it is certified. • If the revisions to the site inventory (although unlikely beyond the 16 sites) would significantly change the project description for the purposes of CEQA analysis, the CEQA analysis would need to be revised, potentially resulting in schedule delays and requiring a cost amendment. To avoid duplication of work, the City may want to delay CEQA analysis until the site inventory is complete.

ITEM NO. 14
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
JULY 16, 2024
PREPARED BY: Jami Westervelt, Economic and Community Development Director SUBJECT: Street Names Policy and Direction on Southeast Gustine Master Plan Area Street Assignments
BACKGROUND
The first development in the Southeast Gustine Master Plan (SGMP) area is proceeding, with applicant Ron Katakis moving on improvement plans and review related to the Final Map for the project. Street names for the subdivision need to be decided.
The last large development in the City, Borrelli Ranch, did not appear to include a public discussion on street names or Council actions related. Therefore, there is no precedent from that project to guide street name conventions for the SGMP or going forward-other than City experiences in using the names assigned in that development.
Conditions of approval (COA) for the Katakis project Vesting and Tentative Subdivision Map (VTSM) approved by the Council February 2023 state the following in Condition 26:
"The names for the new subdivision streets shall be provided for consideration and are subject to approval by the City Council."
City code in the subdivision requirements, Sec. 4-68-050. (Kl 1 states: "Names for all public and private streets within a proposed subdivision shall be approved by the Council. The duplication of an existing street name shall not be allowed in a new subdivision unless the street is an obvious extension of an existing street." Neither the COA nor City code specifies to what degree the Council approval extends, which could range from approval of a list of potential street name themes on one extreme to final approval of all street names in the subdivision on the other.
DISCUSSION
The process of naming streets and approval ranges greatly by state, county, and jurisdiction. It is not uncommon in California for jurisdictions to have street-naming policies. These documents provide guidance and consistency in naming over time versus the process being based on staff preferences or Council approval by project.
While Gustine has not historically had much development that is likely to change in the future.
While the City could direct the SGMP developers to propose names in a vacuum and react, staff suggests that if Council has any interest in street naming for the SGMP area
that it minimally provide direction as to what theme(s) it would prefer to see utilized in the SGMP. Further, staff seeks confirmation from Council in its desire for involvement in the final name approval process in this and future projects.
Staff suggests the Council consider a street names policy that could help streamline the process and provide consistency over asking developers to submit street names without initial input or direction on what the City prefers. Developers prefer direction up front over guessing and asking for approval because the latter takes more time and resource.
Staff reviewed several street name policies of other California cities and found some similarities. One of the most consistent elements is the use of a theme for non-continuing streets added by subdivisions. Exhibit A includes examples of potential street names in an effort to illustrate how varied street names can be and to provide ideas.
Staff also found some consistencies in regard to what cities generally prohibit in naming.
Exhibit B is a potential draft street naming policy to provide Council background and inform discussion on a policy-if the Council wishes to move in that direction.
While the Council has full flexibility to provide direction on the street names, staff requests that the Council at minimum provide direction on theme for SGMP streets that could provide guidance to all three of the currently-approved VTSM maps in the SGMP area. This would provide overall consistency at least within the area of the SGMP development and provide needed direction for the current Katakis project in development.
Please note that staff plans to include in any direction to the first developer moving forward in SGMP that a street named "Faulder Court" be included-based upon a previous verbal agreement made by City representatives. The name may fit the theme selected if utilizing local historic names but it may not fit other potential themes and staff advises that is the City's prerogative and less of a concern than breaching the previous verbal agreement on this specific street name in this one-time commitment.
RECOMMENDATION
City Council to discuss street naming convention and practices in general, as well as street name assignment for the Southeast Gustine Master Plan area in development, and:
1. Come to consensus on theme(s), whether one preferred theme or multiple options the Council would support, for use in the SGMP developments.
2. Provide direction to staff on the role Council would like to take in approval of final street names, starting with the SGMP development.
3. Provide direction to staff on whether Council would like staff to adopt a formal Street Name policy and, if so, potentially consider the attached draft policy.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
JULY 16, 2024
PREPARED BY: Soknirorn Than, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing Regional Surface Transportation Program Claim
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
MCAG has received the FY 23/24 Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) Exchange Program Standard Agreement contract from Caltrans. It is important to note that the Caltrans contract is based on an estimated RSTP apportionment figure that Caltrans has received from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). If the final yearend RSTP figure is determined to be higher or lower than the RSTP estimate for any number of reasons, the distribution amounts can be modified (in the current contract year or future year apportionments).
On May 23, 2024, MCAG's Governing Board adopted the FY 23/24 RSTP Exchange Program Apportionment Schedule and authorized the release of RSTP Exchange Claim Forms to the member agencies.
Member agencies are required to do two things to claim the RSTP funds:
l) Submit a signed RSTP Exchange Program Claim Form; and 2) Submit a City Council-approved RSTP Exchange Program Resolution.
The FY 22/23 RSTP Exchange Program amount available for the City of Gustine to claim is $84,753.
FISCAL IMPACT
These funds will be used to help pay the match for the construction of the North Avenue Sidewalk Infill Project ($40,625) and the FY 25 Pavement Rehabilitation Project ($44,128). It is worth noting that the Revenue of $85,000 has been budgeted in the FY 25 budget; however, the expenditure has not been budgeted. For this reason, staff recommends the City Council to appropriate an expenditure of $84,753 in the RSTP Fund 021 for the construction of the North Avenue Sidewalk Infill Project ($40,625) and the FY 25 Pavement Rehabilitation Project ($44,128).
RECOMMENDATION
Council approve the attached resolution authorizing filing for the RSTP claim and appropriate an expenditure of $84,753 in the RSTP Fund 021 for the construction of the North Avenue Sidewalk Infill Project ($40,625) and the FY 25 Pavement Rehabilitation Project ($44,128).
