BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: January 17, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Jessica Blair, Communications Director / City Clerk TITLE: RE-RATIFICATION OF RESOLUTION TO CONTINUE HOLDING PUBLIC MEETINGS REMOTELY (AB 361)
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, in accordance with Assembly Bill 361, re-ratify the findings in Resolution No. 2021- 80 to continue conducting the City’s Council, Commission, and Committee meetings remotely due to health and safety concerns to the public due to COVID-19.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Inclusive Governance element of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom declared a State of Emergency to make additional resources available, formalize emergency actions already underway across multiple state agencies and departments, and help the state prepare for a broader spread of COVID-19.
Thereafter, on March 17, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution 2020-16 declaring a local emergency due to COVID-19. The same day, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-29- 20, which suspended certain provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act to allow local legislative bodies to conduct meetings telephonically or by other means. Additionally, the State implemented a shelter-in-place order, requiring all non-essential personnel to work from home.
Staff quickly worked to set up remote meetings via Zoom for all City Council and Planning Commission meetings. The Zoom meetings have allowed the Council, Commissions, and Committees to continue to conduct City business from the safety of members’ homes. The City has been utilizing Zoom for the past 18 months to conduct nearly all public meetings. The usage of Zoom for public meetings has allowed the City to ensure the public’s continued access to government meetings while also ensuring the public’s safety. 81
On June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which extended the ability of agencies to hold remote meetings through September 30, 2021, after which agencies anticipated transitioning back to public meetings held in full compliance with the Brown Act. In preparation for the return to in-person meetings, staff has been working on acquiring audio and visual upgrades for City facilities to conduct hybrid meetings. Although hybrid meetings would help to keep the public safe by allowing them to continue accessing the meetings from their own home, Councilmembers, Commissioners, Committee members, and staff would need to meet in person.
Since the Governor issued Executive Order N-08-21, the Delta variant has emerged, causing a spike in cases throughout the state. As a result, the San Mateo County Health Department issued a Health Order requiring masks indoors in public places, regardless of vaccination status, starting August 3, 2021.
On September 16, 2021, Governor Newson signed Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361), which allows cities to continue to meet remotely during proclaimed states of emergency under modified Brown Act requirements that are similar but not identical to the rules and procedures established by the previous Executive Orders.
AB 361 authorizes local agencies to use teleconferencing without complying with the teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Ralph M. Brown Act during a declared state of emergency, when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing during the proclaimed state of emergency, or when there is an imminent risk to the health or safety of attendees.
On October 5, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-80 under the requirements of AB 361 to continue conducting meetings remotely. AB 361 requires the City Council to make the findings every 30 days, necessitating the need for this item.
On December 15, 2021, a statewide mask mandate went into effect due to a rise in cases across the state.
On January 10, 2022, in response to the surge of COVID-19 cases, Omicron variant, City Hall closed to the public moving services to remote services.
On March 1, 2022, the statewide requirement that unvaccinated individuals mask in indoor public settings moved to a strong recommendation that all persons, regardless of vaccine status, continue indoor masking. The San Mateo Chief Health Officer has likewise recommended the CDC’s masking guidance.
It has been announced by the Governor’s Office that the State of Emergency will expire on February 28, 2023. Therefore, the City Council will be required to return to in-person meetings starting on March 1, 2023.
82
DISCUSSION:
AB 361 will allow local legislative bodies to continue to meet remotely after the September 30, 2021 expiration of the Governor’s executive orders. A local agency will be allowed to continue to meet remotely when:
• The local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency • State or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing
• Legislative bodies declare the need to meet remotely due to present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees
The City meets the requirements to continue holding meetings remotely to ensure the health and safety of the public due to the following:
• The City is still under a local state of emergency
• County health orders require that all individuals in public spaces maintain social distancing and wear masks
• The City can’t maintain social distancing requirements for the public, staff, Councilmembers, Commissioners, and Committee Members in their meeting spaces The City cannot ensure social distancing requirements are met inside City facilities where the City Council, Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, Redistricting Advisory Committee, Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, and Main Street Bridge Advisory Committee meet.
Councilmembers, Commissioners, Committee Members, and staff sit well within six feet of each other. Moreover, the County’s indoor mask order is still in effect, making it difficult to hear what Councilmembers, Commissioners, Committee Members, staff, and public speakers are saying. Furthermore, while speaking through masks may be understandable in person, picking up speech on microphones for those attending remotely and those watching any livestreams would be difficult.
Per AB 361, the City Council would need to declare every 30 days that the City’s legislative bodies must continue to meet remotely to ensure the health and safety of the public. Staff recommends that the City Council declare these findings are true so these bodies can continue to meet remotely. Staff will return with this resolution for re-ratification at the Council’s 1st Tuesday meeting each month, at which time the Council can reassess as various health orders and COVID-19 parameters change.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: January 17, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Jessica Blair, Communications Director / City Clerk TITLE: STATE AND FEDERAL ADVOCACY SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH TOWNSEND PUBLIC AFFAIRS, INC.
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Townsend Public Affairs, Inc. (TPA), to provide state and federal advocacy services for a period of one year at an amount of $60,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the agreement is $60,000. This amount has been included in the FY 2022-23 operating budget.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Infrastructure and Environment, Healthy Communities and Public Safety, Fiscal Sustainability and Inclusive Governance Elements of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
In early 2016, the City Council identified the pursuit of grant funding opportunities related to ongoing City operations and capital improvement projects as a priority. Following the determination that it was not practical to accomplish this with in-house staff, the City released a request for proposals. Townsend Public Affairs, Inc. was selected as the firm who was most qualified to provide the services requested in the request for proposals, and the City and Townsend have since entered into annual agreements, the last of which expired on December 31, 2022. Starting with the 2018-2019 agreement, Townsend also provides the City with legislative advocacy services. Beginning last year, the City and Townsend modified the agreement to include federal advocacy in addition to state. Grant monitoring, writing, tracking, and applying will now be handled internally by staff in the City Manager’s Office, and Townsend will continue to coordinate with City staff to provide advocacy around grants as necessary. 84
DISCUSSION:
TPA’s scope of work for legislative advocacy includes working closely with staff to develop legislative strategy, implement legislative strategy, build and leverage relationships, plan ordinance advocacy trips, track legislation, craft testimony and position letters, prepare and file lobbying disclosure reports, and draft bill language. TPA and staff also work closely with the City Council Legislative Affairs Subcommittee.
Over the course of the past year, some of the high-level tasks TPA has assisted the City with include the following:
• On behalf of the City of Half Moon Bay, Townsend Public Affairs closely tracked and provided updates on legislation falling under the prescribed priority areas of the City’s Adopted Legislative Platform.
• TPA worked with City staff to write formal letters with constructive feedback or suggestions on over 40 policy bills, where the City Council or the Legislative Subcommittee had instructed.
• TPA testified in Legislative Committee hearings on behalf of the City of Half Moon Bay for the bills in which the City took formal positions.
• TPA provided formal legislative reports every month for the Mayor and Council, through the City Clerk’s office.
• TPA provided weekly legislative updates, including updates on all emergency and regulatory matters pertaining the COVID-19 pandemic, to the City Manager’s office and the Communications Director / City Clerk and often communicated via phone or email more frequently.
• TPA appeared before both the Legislative Subcommittee and the Full Council multiple times to present on State Legislation, Regulatory Proceedings, the Budget Process, and to answer questions or address relevant issues that Council and Staff has identified related to the State Legislature.
• TPA worked with City Staff on an application for submittal to Congresswoman Speier for the HWY 1 Project. The Congresswoman did put forward the request of $2,000,000, and Congresswoman Eshoo, as well as Senators Padilla and Feinstein also signed onto the request. The earmark was included in the now adopted Omnibus bill and TPA will help facilitate funding transfer.

o State Budget Funding Opportunities: In an effort to maximize state funding, TPA will work with the City to identify projects and other funding priorities that may be suitable for funding through the State Budget. TPA will coordinate with the City to develop supporting materials for the budget request. TPA will also work with members of the City’s state legislative delegation, along with the Assembly and Senate Budget Committees, to gain support for the inclusion of the City’s project in the final State Budget approved by the Legislature.
o Federal Earmark Opportunities: In an effort to maximize federal funding, TPA will work with the City to identify projects and other funding priorities that may be suitable for funding through the Federal Earmark process. TPA will coordinate with the City to develop supporting materials for the earmark request. TPA will also work with members of the City’s federal legislative delegation to gain support for the inclusion of the City’s project.
• Provide Progress Reports: TPA will confer regularly with the City on our activities. TPA will provide timely electronic reports on the status of all legislative activity, such as bill language, amendments, and committee analyses. In addition to written reports, TPA will be available to the City for conference calls, in-person briefings, and meetings. • Prepare and File Lobbying Disclosure Reports: TPA will prepare and file, on behalf of the City, all applicable state and federal lobbying disclosure reports. 88 BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY

TITLE: STORMWATER – NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) AND ANNUAL REPORTING SERVICES FOR 2023
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with Black & Veatch for Stormwater – National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and Annual Reporting Service for 2023 in an amount not to exceed $149,705.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The requested budget for the contract is $149,705 and will be paid out of the Public Works Engineering budget, which included funds for these needed services.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Infrastructure and Environment, and the Healthy Communities and Public Safety elements of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Half Moon Bay is listed as a co-permittee to the Municipal Regional Permit for Stormwater (MRP), issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board on November 19, 2015 (Order No. R2-2015-0049). In addition to many maintenance responsibilities, the Public Works Department also oversees the MRP and implements the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
The scope of work under this contract includes general program management coordination and support for the implementation of MRP measures, assistance in various meetings including the preparation for the upcoming stormwater permit re-issuance (MRP 3.0), preparation of the Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2022-23 to the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board, completion of wet season Monthly Construction Site Inspections at necessary sites, new development stormwater treatment measure annual operations and maintenance inspections, 92
ongoing implementation support for the City’s Long-Term Trash Reduction Plan, and support in the City’s implementation of the Venice Beach TMDL program.
DISCUSSION:
On Tuesday, October 11, 2022, staff issued a Request for Qualification (RFQ) for NPDES and Annual Reporting Services throughout 2023. On Friday, November 4, 2022, the City received two (2) proposals from interested firms, CSG Consultants and Black & Veatch, prior to the posted deadline. City Staff thoroughly reviewed each of the proposals and have determined that both firms were well qualified to perform the scope of work listed above; therefore, staff decided to schedule interviews with each firm. Interviews with both firms were held on December 8, 2022 and based on the rankings from the review committee (comprised of four City Staff members), Black & Veatch was determined to be the most qualified for the project.
Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with Black & Veatch for Stormwater – NPDES and Annual Reporting Services throughout 2023 in an amount not to exceed $149,705.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: January 17, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Jill Ekas, Community Development Director
Mike Noce, Housing Coordinator
TITLE: INFORMATIONAL UPDATES ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS INCLUDING CITY-OWNED PROPERTY AT 555 KELLY AVENUE AND 880
STONE PINE ROAD
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and provide input regarding updates on potential affordable housing development projects including status of City-owned properties:
1. 555 Kelly Avenue
2. 880 Stone Pine Road
There is no formal action requested of City Council on this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this status report. The fiscal impact of various projects will be addressed in conjunction with subsequent development efforts.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This item supports the Healthy Communities and Public Safety, and Inclusive Governance Elements of the Strategic Plan.
OVERVIEW:
This report focuses on the status of two City-owned properties, as well as a site that the Cabrillo Unified School District (CUSD) has been studying for housing development. The attention on public-owned sites is deliberate because they tend to offer the greatest opportunity for the creation of affordable housing at the deepest affordability levels.
The City will continue to pursue opportunities for creating affordable housing through multiple approaches including inclusionary units (e.g. such as the four affordable units that will be included in the Creekside development), accessory dwelling units, mobile homes, and other means available. Some of these approaches have also included staff collaboration to help 96
developers secure funding for provision of affordable units. Staff will provide updates about these other efforts as they come forward.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council has identified affordable housing as a multi-year priority. Given the high cost of developing affordable housing and the City’s limited resources, the City contributes to this Council Priority primarily by (1) enacting land use policies that “set the table” for affordable housing projects; and (2) making City-owned land available for such affordable projects. Over the past few years, the City has made significant strides to create a foundational land use framework and policy and to facilitate affordable housing production. The City has also invested and completed property purchases which provide for potential development of affordable housing. For background, this report first presents a refresher of the features and process of affordable housing development, followed by a brief reintroduction of the policy foundation established in the recently certified Local Coastal Land Use Plan (LCLUP) update.
Features of Affordable Housing Development
Staff believes it is important to highlight income limits associated with most affordable housing development projects as there is often a misconception of who may qualify for affordable units.
Table 1 below illustrates the maximum income for households with 1 – 4 person(s) by income category. These categories are based on the income limits released annually by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for San Mateo County. These income limits are tied to County median income; with San Mateo County median income being one of the highest in the United States. For most affordable housing developments, households generally are limited to paying 30% or less of their annual income toward housing costs, including rent and utilities. Income limits for larger households (5 – 8 persons) are available on the HCD website provided via the link in Table 1.
Table 1: San Mateo County 2022 Income Limits (1 to 4 Person Households) Household Size and Income Limits
Income Category 1 2 3 4
Acutely Low Income (15% AMI) $17,450 $19,900 $22,400 $24,900 Extremely Low Income (30% AMI) $39,150 $44,750 $50,350 $55,900 Very Low Income (50% AMI) $65,250 $74,600 $83,900 $93,200 Low Income (80% AMI) $104,400 $119,300 $134,200 $149,100 Area Median Income (AMI) $116,200 $132,800 $149,400 $166,000 Moderate Income (120% AMI) $139,450 $159,350 $179,300 $199,200 Source: https://www.hcd.ca.gov/docs/grants-and-funding/inc2k22.pdf
To produce affordable housing that meets the needs of lower income populations described above, it is common for affordable housing developers to layer funding from a variety of sources to reach financial feasibility. These projects may also seek development concessions like reduced parking, density bonuses, and height exceptions to make a project more financially viable. The funding of pre-development activities is critical to the success of any project, as 97
such activities represent a critical path to build a financially feasible and community supported project. Pre-development generally includes preparation of a detailed financial assessment including the of costs of architectural and engineering plans; soils and environmental reports; plans for the programming, unit mix, occupancy and affordability restrictions; construction financing proformas; analysis of local zoning and permitting; and community outreach and engagement plans.
The aforementioned expenses are typically encumbered prior to a development receiving approval to build from the local agency. While market rate developers can often recoup these costs via expected market rents, affordable housing developers, who sign agreements that limit the maximum rent to be collected to an amount far less than “market rate” rents, must seek financial support to ensure a project is financially feasible. Affordable housing projects are complex from both a financial and permitting perspective. These projects are often multi-year efforts under the best possible circumstances. Table 2, below, outlines typical high-level timelines and project milestones in affordable housing development projects. It is noteworthy that it typically can take 5-6 years from conceptualization of a project to occupancy. In Half Moon Bay, Coastal Zone requirements and Measure D can further impact timelines.
Table 2: Stages of Development for New Construction of Affordable Housing Timeline Required Development Milestones

Years 3 – 4 Land Use Approvals (coastal development permits, zoning amendments, declarations, etc.)
Years 3 – 4 Financing Process (construction financing, ground leases, tax credits, etc.) Years 4 – 5 Construction
Years 5 – 6 Leasing/Occupancy
Local Coastal Land Use Plan Update: Local Priority Use and Workforce Housing Overlay The City recently completed its multi-year Local Coastal Plan Land Use Plan (LCLUP), which is a necessary policy document for jurisdictions within the California Coastal Zone. This plan includes substantive policy efforts to facilitate and designate affordable housing as a local priority land use. The LCLUP clearly confirms that farmworker housing is also a Coastal Act priority land use. Coastal Act priority uses are the Coastal Commission’s highest priority uses and therefore should be expected to be supported following the required permitting process.
Also, as previously presented to City Council, through LCLUP policy, affordable housing in the low and lower income categories (e.g. including acutely low, extremely low, very low, and low), specifically qualifies for priority water connections available from the Coastside County Water District. This policy change is estimated to save affordable developers approximately $80K per water connection for qualifying affordable units. This change represents a significant “game 98
changer” when looking at the financial feasibility of affordable housing development in Half Moon Bay.
The LCLUP includes numerous additional policies that support affordable housing as a local priority land use. One of the most significant is the introduction of the Workforce Housing Overlay (WHO). The WHO is an overlay designation added on top of a primary land use designation. It was crafted to pair with numerous types of land uses where housing development had previously been severely limited or prohibited. Underlaying land uses include agriculture, horticulture, and various public and quasi-public uses. Affordable housing produced under the WHO is meant to support the local workforce, with the intent of facilitating a range of housing types for those who live and work on the coast, fostering the economic development of the City, and reducing commuter traffic congestion. The WHO offers the opportunity to produce affordable housing units that provide housing priced and located in proximity to the existing workforce on the coast.
The specific properties to be discussed in the next section of this report each have Public Facilities land use designations, and two include the WHO designation. In future updates to City Council, staff will suggest expanded opportunities for the WHO.
DISCUSSION:
555 Kelly Avenue Affordable Farmworker Housing Development Purchased by the City in 2017, 555 Kelly Avenue is a single-family home on a parcel located immediately south and adjacent to the City’s Ted Adcock Community Center (TACC). The property contains approximately 6,200 square feet and abuts the TACC parking lot. Initial assessments determined that the TACC parking lot area was needed to expand the site in order to make an affordable housing project economically feasibility on the site.
On February 15, 2022, the City released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to solicit potential affordable housing development interests on the site. The RFQ closed on May 23, 2022. Despite extensive outreach, the City received a single submittal from a two-agency team comprised of Mercy Housing and Ayudando Latinos A Soñar (ALAS). The submitted proposal includes 40 units of affordable farmworker housing as well as 2,050 square feet of space for a farmworker resource center, which would be staffed and managed by ALAS.
On October 4, 2022, City Council adopted two resolutions. The first resolution declared the Site as “exempt surplus” land as required by the California Surplus Land Act (SLA). SLA obligates local agencies to make publicly owned land available for affordable housing before selling or leasing the property for other purposes. Agencies, such as Half Moon Bay, who plan to produce affordable housing via their own public bidding process may declare property as exempt. The second resolution authorized the City Manager to execute an Exclusive Negotiations Agreement (ENA) between the City and Mercy Housing to: 1) enable predevelopment activities to be undertaken for the project; and 2) establish a time period in which to negotiate related funding and development agreements between the City and developer(s). 99
In accordance with the approved resolutions, staff has been negotiating a predevelopment loan agreement with Mercy Housing. This agreement is the first formal step toward entitlement and environmental review processes. The City Council can expect staff to return in February for Council consideration of the Predevelopment Loan Agreement with Mercy Housing for this project.
The project’s estimated predevelopment costs (Attachment 1) identify the Mercy Housing’s request for funding from the City’s Affordable Housing Fund (AHF). This amount would be inclusive of a total funding commitment of $2 million from the City of Half Moon Bay, in addition to a long-term lease of the land. The City Council retains sole discretion to award funds from the City’s AHF and thus far, Council has approved negotiation associated with $1 million for predevelopment.
Proposed loan terms are as follows:
Loan amount: $1,000,000.00
Interest rate: 0% interest
Recourse/nonrecourse: Loan will be nonrecourse
Initial term: Two years; loan agreement may be extended twice, each time for an additional 90- day period
Repayment of predevelopment loan during initial term: Monthly principal and interest payment will be deferred during the predevelopment period unless there is an uncured default by the borrower. No prepayment penalty or fee if prepayment is made.
Conversion to permanent loan: If all predevelopment milestones are successfully completed, predevelopment loan may be converted to a permanent loan, secured by a deed of trust against the Borrower’s leasehold interest in the Property, with a term of 55 years from date of certificate of occupancy
Repayment of permanent loan: The permanent loan Interest and principal is to be repaid from the cash flow from Project operations.
San Mateo County has authorized $1.5 million to the project for predevelopment activities. To activate this funding, at a future meeting, City Council will be asked to consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a grant agreement with San Mateo County and then a subsequent funding agreement with Mercy Housing. Staff is working closely with the County to discuss the terms of the grant agreement with the expectation of returning to City Council by April. Note: Mercy Housing will be seeking additional funding from the County for the construction phase of the project, estimated at $3.32 million. 880 Stone Pine Road
In January 2021, the City purchased the 21-acre property at 880 Stone Pine Rd. with the assistance of a loan from the State of California’s Infrastructure Bank (iBank) to establish a permanent City Corporation Yard. The iBank loan enabled the City to complete the purchase, but also contains restrictions on allowable uses. The property is bordered by Highway 92 and Pilarcitos Creek at the easterly terminus of Stone Pine Rd. The City Corporation Yard has operated on this site for well over a decade under license agreement and subsequent lease 100
with the previous owner, Peninsula Open Space Trust. A Coastal Development Permit was issued for site improvements and structures for the Corporation Yard with related environmental mitigations affecting the entire property. Construction is underway.
Prior to approval of the Coastal Development Permit for the Corporation Yard, City Council directed staff to consider the potential for residential development on the remainder portion of the site. The environmental assessment for the Corporation Yard and initial affordable housing feasibility assessment helped to shape site planning and environmental mitigation design currently being implemented. Notably, the Corporation Yard and related environmental mitigation was positioned on the site to conserve future development of affordable housing should it be found feasible.
Staff believes that roughly four acres of land at the Stone Pine property is feasible for a potential affordable housing development. The four-acre portion of land suitable for housing could yield up to an estimated 100-120 affordable units. City staff envision that many of the units included in such a development could have 2-, 3- and 4-bedrooms, suitable for families and larger households. Currently, the IBank loan which the City used to fund purchasing the property and to partially develop the Corporation Yard includes restrictions which do not allow residential development.
Next Steps:
1) Remove the IBank loan restrictions: Staff anticipates returning to City Council following the mid-year budget review to present options and receive direction. 2) Complete a feasibility analysis: This requires additional funding to complete site planning and environmental studies.
Following the above actions, Council could direct staff to prepare and release a RFQ to solicit affordable housing development in a process akin to what was conducted for 555 Kelly Ave.
Cabrillo Unified School District (CUSD) Workforce Housing – Hatch Site CUSD is currently analyzing its property portfolio, including properties the District has deemed to be surplus, for the purpose of identifying affordable workforce housing options for District faculty and staff at reduced rents. Underutilized portions of the District Office and Corporation Yard, which are adjacent to portions of the Hatch Elementary School site, are being considered as a potential housing site. Upon certification of the City’s Local Coastal Land Use Plan (LCLUP) by the California Coastal Commission in April 2021, workforce housing became an approved use on District-owned property. With the high housing prices we see in San Mateo County and the Half Moon Bay coast, a large majority of the local workforce cannot afford to live on the coast.
This contributes to longer commutes and higher likelihood of staff turnover for local businesses and employers, including CUSD. Like other local school districts, CUSD is considering this as a way to recruit and retain teachers and other staff. The District informs us that this is an important goal in that there is a national teacher shortage and also because the District is not funded as well as other school districts in San Mateo County. City staff are working closely with the District and their consultants to investigate housing options that could produce 101
approximately sixty (60) affordable workforce housing units at reduced rents, including larger units for faculty and staff with families. We will continue to update City Council as this proposal develops and moves forward.
SUMMARY:
The cost of land, construction, and development fees are often identified as constraints to producing market rate and below market rate (affordable) housing development. As previously mentioned, it is common for affordable housing development to rely on multiple funding sources and other contributions to reach a financially feasible project.
Additionally, it is important for communities to have diverse housing opportunities that meet the needs of individuals and households from all incomes and sizes. The City has received feedback at public meetings and community outreach events that supports the need for more affordable housing suited to the needs of local households. City Council has heard about families living in overcrowded conditions to share the cost of rent as well as many renters paying more than 30% of their income toward housing expenses. Staff is continuing to actively explore and analyze additional affordable housing development opportunities, including developments with larger units that will cater to families and larger households of all types.
Below is a summary of the expected next steps for the following projects:
• 555 Kelly Avenue will return to City Council for multiple milestone items over the next year. The Predevelopment Loan Agreement will be the next item to return for City Council review and consideration in February.
• 880 Stone Pine Road will require continued feasibility efforts and analysis of appropriate next steps. Staff will ensure City Council is informed of future determinations regarding the existing iBank loan restrictions and site studies. • CUSD Workforce Housing will involve the City’s continued support as the District investigates the feasibility of workforce housing. Staff does not have a timeline to share at this time; however, staff will be ready to assist CUSD staff and consultants.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: January 17, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Jessica Blair, Communications Director / City Clerk TITLE: HYBRID MEETING UPDATE
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Receive update on plan for hybrid meetings starting March 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Regular staffing and technology needs associated with in-person meetings will be reintroduced and are included in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This recommendation supports the Inclusive Governance Element of the Strategic Plan.
DISCUSSION:
Beginning with the April 7, 2020 City Council meeting, all boards and commissions and the City Council have held remote meetings due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the expiration of the State’s emergency order around the pandemic set to expire at the end of February 2023, the findings for holding remote meetings under the provisions of AB 361 can no longer be made, and therefore, all Half Moon Bay meeting bodies will return to in-person meetings.
For City Council and Planning Commission meetings, the City will offer a hybrid meeting approach for members of the public. All members of the decision-making body, staff, and presenters will be in-person. However, members of the public will have the option to view and provide comment via the Zoom platform. Agendas will include information on both in-person and remote participation for the public. Both bodies will hold meetings in the Ted Adcock Community Center.
For the Parks and Recreation Commission, Architectural Advisory Committee, Community Development Director Hearings, and any City Council Subcommittee meetings, the meetings will be held fully in-person without a hybrid option for public participation.
Over the course of the next two months, City staff will be conducting mock meetings as well as getting new staff trained on set up, technology, and conduct of in-person meetings. Sound 105
systems, meeting technology, and infrastructure will be tested to ensure everything is ready to go for the first March meetings. Staff has been in contact with Pacific Coast Television who provides streaming of the City’s meetings, as well as the City’s contractors for both IT and the City’s sound systems.
LEGISLATIVE UPDATES:
Over the past two years, public agencies and the general public have become more comfortable with meeting virtually, and many public bodies lobbied to get legislation passed that would extend the remote meeting protections past AB 361’s sunset date of January 1, 2024. AB 2449 was adopted last year and became effective January 1, 2023. AB 361 still remains effective until January 1, 2024; however, the expiration of the State’s emergency orderseverely constrainslocal agencies’ ability to make or renew remote meeting findings under that law.
Newly Added Teleconference Rules Available January 1, 2023 AB 2449 reiterates the standard Brown Act teleconference rules, re-codifies the rules set out in AB 361 for times of declared emergency, and also provides for relaxed teleconferencing rules when a member of the legislative body needs to attend remotely for an emergency, or other reasons supported by “just cause.”
Under the new teleconference rules, a legislative body may hold a “hybrid” (partial teleconference, partial in-person) meeting without having to comply with certain procedural requirements (post agendas at teleconference locations, identify teleconference locations in the agenda, make all teleconference locations open to the public) in the following limited circumstances:
• One or more members of the legislative body (but less than a quorum) have “just cause” for not attending the meeting in person (childcare or family caregiving need, contagious illness, physical or mental disability need, or travel while on official public business); or • One or more members of the legislative body (but less than a quorum) experience an emergency circumstance (a physical or family medical emergency that prevents inperson attendance).
Members of legislative bodies who wish to use one of the above exceptions should be sure to contact the City Clerk before attending a meeting remotely. There are restrictions on the number of times any one member may attend remotely in a year under one of these exceptions. Further, a quorum of the body must still be meeting in-person, and the body must meet the following relaxed remote access rules:
• Provide either a two-way audio visual system or a two-way phone service in addition to live webcasting;
• Identify a call-in or internet-based access option on the agenda, in addition to the inperson meeting location; • Ensure that if a disruption to the online meeting occurs, the body takes no further action on agendized items until public access is restored; and 106
• Avoid requiring public comments to be submitted in advance, and provide a real-time option for the public to address the body at the meeting.
AB 361 Rules In Effect Today & Re-Codified in AB 2449
As a reminder, when a state of emergency is involved, a legislative body may hold teleconference meetings without meeting certain procedural requirements (post agendas at teleconference locations, identify teleconference locations in the agenda, make all teleconference locations open to the public) in the following circumstances:
• The meeting is held during a proclaimed state of emergency and state/local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing (including, for example Cal-OSHA or other regulatory guidance requiring employees to be trained in social distancing to reduce exposure);
• The meeting is held during a proclaimed state of emergency for the purpose of determining whether meeting in person during the emergency would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees; and/or
• The meeting is held during a proclaimed state of emergency and the body has already determined that meeting in person during the emergency would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
If the body is relying on the above findings to justify meeting by teleconference, it must:
• Give the public notice of how to access the meeting and offer public comment; • Ensure that if a disruption to the online meeting occurs, the body takes no further action on agendized items until public access is restored; • Avoid requiring public comments to be submitted in advance, and provide a real-time option for the public to address the body at the meeting; and • If the state of emergency remains active or social distancing measures continue to be imposed/recommended by state or local officials, continue to make findings supporting the teleconference meetings at least every 30 days.
Original Brown Act Teleconferencing Rules Remain Available Local agencies may always rely on the teleconferencing rules that applied pre-COVID – all votes must be by roll call, the meeting must be conducted so as to protect the rights of the public appearing before the body or wishing to comment, all members of the public must be able to access the meeting and provide public comment, teleconference locations must be identified on the agenda, copies of the agenda must be posted at all teleconference locations, and teleconference locations must be open to the public. Finally, at least a quorum of the members of the legislative body who are participating remotely must do so from locations within the agency’s jurisdiction.
Further, under SB 1100, also passed by the legislature last year and effective as of January 1, 2023, legislative bodies now have an additional tool to address meeting disruptions. The Brown Act authorizes a legislative body to order the room cleared and continue in session if a group or 107
groups willfully interrupts the orderly conduct of the meeting, provided certain requirements are met. SB 1100 amends the Brown Act to provide that the presiding member of a legislative body may have an individual removed for disrupting a meeting of the body. Before removing any person, the person must be warned that that their behavior is disruptive, and that continued disruption may result in the person’s removal (however, no prior warning is required if the person is engaging in use of force or threatening to use force against anyone). Behavior is otherwise “disruptive” if it disrupts or impedes the orderly conduct of the meeting.
CONCLUSION:
Staff is prepared to hold all meetings in-person beginning in March, with hybrid options for the public for City Council and Planning Commission meetings. Teleconference options remain for legislative body members under specific circumstances. The City will do outreach to make sure members of the public are aware of the changes to meeting format and how to participate for each.

My family and I have lived in Half Moon Bay since 1999. Our decision to move here was driven by our appreciation of the unique character of this small coastal town possessing stunning natural beauty and a rich heritage in fishing, agriculture, and citizen involvement. Over the past two decades, that appreciation 114
has only grown stronger, but there is also a recognition of the challenges that the City faces in striking the appropriate balance between new development and the preservation of the unique character of the town. I have been involved in many aspects of the City's planning process. I believe I could make a positive contribution to decision-making, planning, and consensusbuilding. I have a good working knowledge of the many complex issues facing the City from having previously served on both the Planning Commission and the Architectural Review Committee.

How long have you
lived in Half Moon
Bay?
Since 2017
Educational
background
I hold a Mathematics & Computer Science degree from McGill University in Montreal, Canada. I've also earned Graduate Studies Certificates from Stanford University in Negotiation & Influence Strategies, Executive and Cross-Cultural Leadership.
I've been interested in Building Architecture, Code and Design since I was a teenager, I finally indulged in 1 year of Architecture classes at CSM.
Professional
experience
With considerable technical experience and vast business knowledge, I'm in charge of advising clients on the best technology and solutions to meet their business needs. I have over 30 years of experience architecting and implementing enterprise level solutions based on best practices for simplicity, scale, resiliency and maintainability. I advise CxOs on digital transformation and recovery strategies that drive their organizational stability, flexibility, scalability and healthy returns on their investments.
Civic activities and
community involvement
I've served on the Red Cross, Bay Area Chapter Leadership Council. I've also served on Our Lady of Lebanon Parish Council and have been a loyal volunteer and mentor for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, mentoring and training new runners while raising funds for blood cancer research.
Are you able to attend: Either night or daytime meetings Why are you seeking to
be appointed to a City
commission or
committee?
Although we only had the opportunity to actually move to HMB recently (2017), I have loved HMB since my first visit when I moved to California in May, 2000.
The Planning Commission will be a natural place for me to be and to contribute to our community. I've been interested in Architecture and City Planning since I was a teenager. I tried to study it at university but the late 1980s in Montreal didn't offer much opportunity for building and I ended up taking somewhat of a parallel path. Enrolling in Architecture classes at CSM later in 132
life and after I've become a senior professional, designing 2 homes and an ADU for my husband and I and going through the application and permitting processes have all reasserted my interest in building.
Serving on the Planning Commission in Half Moon Bay will bring together 2 of my loves, the love for City Planning and
Architecture, and my love for Half Moon Bay - Being able to facilitate decisions that will carefully protect this beautiful Coast while bringing joy and measured growth to all who appreciate living and visiting our town, will be one of my life achievements that I'll be able to cherish.
Have you attended any
meetings of the City
Council or other Half
Moon Bay
commissions or
committees?
Yes
How did you become
aware of this
opportunity to serve?
This opportunity was mentioned to me by my friend Deborah Sue Hirst.
