AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: May 2, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Maz Bozorginia, Public Works Director/City Engineer Jonathan Woo, Assistant Engineer
TITLE: AMENDED MAP OF CREEKSIDE COURT - FINAL MAP NO. 16-02 ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council make a determination that the following findings can be made concerning the modifications (Government Code Section 66472.1) and adopt a resolution for the Amended Tract Map No. 16-02:
1) That the modifications proposed did not impose any additional burden on the present fee owner of the property; and
2) That the modifications proposed do not alter any right, title or interest in the real property reflected in the recorded map; and
3) That the map as modified conforms to the provisions of Section 66474 of the Government Code; and
4) Authorizing the City Engineer and City Attorney to make such revisions that are acceptable under said Resolution and applicable law; and accepting, on behalf of the Public, all dedicated Public Easements (Public Utility Easements and Emergency Vehicle Access Easements) as noted as changes on the Amended Map.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. City staff and consultant charges related to this project are reimbursed by the developer.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This recommendation supports the Infrastructure and Environment, Healthy Communities and Public Safety Elements of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
On November 7, 2017 the City of Half Moon Bay, by City Council Resolution No. C-2017-92, conditionally approved the requested Tentative Subdivision Map (the “Tentative Map”), Coastal 6
Development Permit, and Use Permit to divide two parcels totaling 5.5 acres into 12 residential lots with associated improvements, including utilities, an open space conservation easement, an open space area for passive recreation, and an on-site drainage swale at 320 Church Street in the C-D (Commercial Downtown) Residential Zoning District.
On July 20, 2021, Staff presented the Creekside Final Map and Subdivision Improvement Agreement to City Council and ultimately adopted Resolution No. C-2021-63 that:
1) Approves the Final Map, subject to revisions to correct clerical errors and conform with Final Map to said Resolution, and delegates to the City Engineer and City Attorney authority to determine that such revisions are acceptable under said Resolution and applicable law; and
2) Approves the Subdivision Improvement Agreement subject to City’s approval as to form of the required securities and insurance documents; and 3) Accepts on behalf of the City for public use all offered 10’ Trail Easement, Public Service Easements and Emergency Vehicle Access Easement; and
4) Rejects any offer in dedication of Public Utility Easements, which offer may be reconsidered as provided in Government Code section 66477.2; and 5) Authorizes the City Manager, Acting City Surveyor, City Clerk, and City Engineer, as appropriate, to execute and record the Final Map (as revised) and the Subdivision Improvement Agreement and any security instruments with the office of the San Mateo County Recorder subject to City Council concurrent approval of the Affordable Housing Compliance Agreement providing four multi-family affordable housing units.
The Creekside Court Final Map No. 16-02 (Attachment 2) was recorded with the County of San Mateo Recorder’s Office on December 21, 2021.
DISCUSSION:
In April 2022, the former property owner, Gibraltar Capital, Inc., sold the subdivided land, in full, to HMB Coast, LLC. The new owner requested some modifications to the driveway approaches based on refined building plans which resulted in non-ADA compliant sidewalk along the private street. The amended map and improvement plans were modified to reflect a new 3’ pedestrian access easement adjacent to the private sidewalks to conform with ADA accessibility requirements and city standards.
The developer also submitted preliminary plans for the Coastal Development Permit Application for the housing intended for the subdivision. Additional street parking spaces were required and provided on Lots 11 and 12. Modifications to the easements are needed to provide pedestrian access around these parking spaces.
A 3’ Utility Easement for Irrigation Purposes was reserved for the exclusive benefit of the owners of the lots in the subdivision as part of the recorded map. The Coastside County Water District (CCWD) has required the water meters for each lot to be placed at the back of the sidewalk to prevent the potential for tripping hazards. CCWD required the developers to grant 7
the mentioned Utility Easement to them in order to proceed with constructing water infrastructure throughout the subdivision.
The Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA) Easement noted in the previously adopted resolution was through the adjacent property and not through this subdivision. Correction was made to allow the EVA access through this subdivision.
A Public Utility Easement created in the dedicated Park Area and Lot 2, as well as the removal of the Public Utility Easement within Lot 1 are shown in this Amended Map. The Document Number for the Affordable Housing Restriction over Lot 1 is now added to this Amendment.
Due to the minor changes that need to be addressed, staff recommends for the City Council to make a determination that the following findings can be made concerning the modifications (Government Code Section 66472.1) and adopt a resolution for the Amended Tract Map No. 16- 02:
1) That the modifications proposed did not impose any additional burden on the present fee owner of the property; and
2) That the modifications proposed do not alter any right, title or interest in the real property reflected in the recorded map; and
3) That the map as modified conforms to the provisions of Section 66474 of the Government Code; and
4) Authorizing the City Engineer and City Attorney to make such revisions that are acceptable under said Resolution and applicable law; and accepting, on behalf of the Public, all dedicated Public Easements (Public Utility Easements and Emergency Vehicle Access Easements) as noted as changes on the Amended Map.

Adopt a resolution authorizing display of the Mental Health Awareness Flag at City Hall for the month of May 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
STRATEGIC ELEMENTS:
This recommendation supports the Inclusive Governance element of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
In May 2020, the City Council formally adopted a flag policy which established that the City’s flagpoles are not intended to be a forum for free expression by the public.
The adopted flag policy contains the following directives:
1. Flags shall be displayed in accordance with federal and state laws and regulations.

3. Commemorative or Ceremonial Flags:
• Can only be displayed on the City Flag flagpole located at City Hall. • The display of any commemorative or ceremonial flags will be subject to Council approval by resolution and will serve as an expression of the City’s official sentiments.
• The City will not display a commemorative or ceremonial flag based on a request from a third party, nor will the City use its flagpoles to sponsor the expression of a third party.
17 Following a request to display a flag commemorating Mental Health Awareness Month, this proposed resolution is before the Council according to the policy adopted.
DISCUSSION:
The City Council of the City of Half Moon Bay wishes to express its support for mental health awareness in the United States, and specifically on the Coastside.
National Mental Health Awareness Month provides an opportunity for communities to work together to bring awareness to and break through the stigma surrounding mental health illness. The display of the green mental health awareness flag serves to express the City’s official support of the importance of mental health awareness.
Over the course of the month, the City will share Mental Health Mondays on social media and additional mental health resources on all communications channels.

FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Inclusive Governance element of the Strategic Plan.

Annually, the City adopts a Legislative Platform to allow staff to send position letters regarding various bills / issues of interest to the City. The 2023 Legislative Platform was adopted by the City Council on April 4, 2023. The platform provides staff direction and allows the City, on the Council’s behalf, to respond in support of or opposition to bills and other legislative and administrative actions. The City Council has delegated its authority to the Mayor and / or City Manager to sign position letters consistent with the legislative platform.

AB 1379 Support Letter
20 April 20, 2023
The Honorable Diane Papan
California State Assembly
1021 O Street, Suite 4220
Sacramento, CA 95814
Re: AB 1379 (Papan) Open meetings: local agencies: teleconferences City of Half Moon Bay – Letter of Support Dear Assembly Member Papan:
On behalf of the City of Half Moon Bay, I write in support of your bill, AB 1379, which would require a legislative body electing to use teleconferencing to instead post agendas at a singular designated physical meeting location, rather than at all teleconference locations. The bill would also remove the requirements for the legislative body of the local agency to identify each teleconference location in the notice and agenda, that each teleconference location be accessible to the public, and that at least a quorum of the members participate from locations within the boundaries of the territory over which the local agency exercises jurisdiction. Additionally, the bill would require the legislative body to have at least 2 meetings per year in which the legislative body’s members are in person at a singular designated physical meeting location, amongst other provisions.
As we saw over the course of the pandemic, teleconferencing options for public meetings with modified posting requirements work and are an effective way of increasing participation and civic engagement while maintaining public safety. This bill is an exciting step to further explore the ways in which public meetings operate.
Thank you for your work on this topic, and again, I am pleased to support AB 1379.
Sincerely,
Deborah Penrose
Mayor of Half Moon Bay

AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: May 2, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Jill Ekas, Community Development Director
Mike Noce, Housing Coordinator
TITLE: 555 KELLY AVENUE AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT – AMERICAN
RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA) GRANT AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY OF SAN MATEO
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution:
1) Authorizing the City Manager to execute a grant agreement between the City and the County of San Mateo (County), in an amount not to exceed One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) in federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds received by the County, for predevelopment expenses for an affordable housing development project (the Project) on City-owned land at 535 and 555 Kelly Avenue (the Site); and
2) Authorizing allocation of these ARPA funds from the City to Mercy Housing California (Developer) to support Project predevelopment activities; and 3) Authorizing the City Manager to execute a grant agreement between the City and the Developer, in an amount not to exceed One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000), for the purpose of making these ARPA funds available to support predevelopment activities for the Project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the City in accepting these ARPA funds from the County. City staff will, however, be tasked with disbursing these funds to the Developer during the Project predevelopment period. Staff will also administer the City’s $1 million Project predevelopment loan from the City’s Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) that was approved at the February 21, 2023, City Council meeting.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Healthy Communities and Public Safety, and Inclusive Governance Elements of the Strategic Plan.
22
BACKGROUND:
The property located at 555 Kelly Avenue was purchased by the City in 2017. It is a rectangular parcel located south of the City’s Ted Adcock Community Center (TACC) adjacent to Shoreline Station. The property contains a single-family home which has been vacant since prior to the City’s acquisition of the property and is currently used for storage by the City. The property is approximately 6,200 square feet and abuts the City’s parking lot located on the south side of the TACC at 535 Kelly Avenue. A year ago, the Community Development Director worked with the City’s housing consultant to prepare a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to solicit affordable housing development interest for the Site. The RFQ was released on February 15, 2022, and closed on May 23, 2022. The RFQ was posted on the City website at this link. 1 The City received one proposal, submitted by a two-agency team comprised of Mercy Housing California and Ayudando Latinos A Soñar (ALAS). As originally proposed, the development included 40 units of affordable multi-family rental housing for senior farmworkers, as well as 2,050 square feet of space for a Farmworker Resource Center to be managed by ALAS. As proposed, the Developer will develop the property and deliver ongoing property management and resident services. ALAS will be a vital partner throughout the development process by supporting community outreach and marketing, in addition to operating the resource center once the project is complete.
At its October 4, 2022, meeting, the 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. Local governments such as the City of 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, the Developer.
In addition to City actions taken, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution on October 4, 2022 allocating $1,500,000 in State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds it had received under the federal ARPA program to support the development of the Project serving local farmworkers impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, and authorizing the County Executive, or designee, to enter into an agreement with the City to facilitate the County’s contribution of these ARPA funds towards development of the Project.
On February 21, 2023, City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a predevelopment loan agreement between the City and the Developer, in an amount not to exceed $1 million from the City’s Affordable Housing Fund, to support predevelopment activities for the Project.

On March 27, 2023, the Developer and ALAS held a community meeting at the Half Moon Bay Library. The meeting was well-attended by about 65 participants who shared feedback on the project after a presentation by the applicant team. Based on responses from the initial stages of the community engagement process, certain preliminary changes have been made since the original proposal was submitted. These include changes to the building design, height, parking provisions, unit count, and unit size. The Developer anticipates submitting a preliminary application to the City in mid-May 2023 in order to obtain additional feedback on the proposed design concept prior to submitting a formal application for entitlements.
DISCUSSION:
By approving the resolution (Attachment 1), the City Council authorizes two separate, but related agreements to be executed by the City Manager. The City and County agreement accepts ARPA funds and allows the City to manage and distribute these funds. The second, similar grant agreement to be executed between the City and the Developer, facilitates the pass-through of these ARPA grant funds to support Project predevelopment work for specific activities, specified in Exhibit A to the resolution. The term “predevelopment” refers to the period of time prior to the start of construction during which various project-related planning, site investigation, community outreach, financing, entitlement review, and other development activities are carried out.
The Project as currently envisioned includes a mix of studios, one-bedroom, and a few twobedroom units. The Project would target senior farmworker households with incomes in the following categories: Acutely Low-Income (15% of Area Median Income (AMI), Extremely LowIncome (up to 30% AMI), and Very Low-Income (up to 50% AMI). Table 1, below, illustrates the maximum income, depending on household size, for each income category according to income limits released annually by the California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) for San Mateo County. As in most affordable housing developments, households generally pay 30% or less of their annual income toward housing costs, including rent and utilities. Farmworkers are considered a special housing needs group due to their limited income and vulnerability to the high cost of market rate rents. Because of their anticipated extremelylow /acutely-low incomes, Mercy Housing and ALAS intend to seek rental subsidies to assist the tenants and provide additional stability, therefore preventing potential homelessness and overcrowded living conditions for this population.

Funding predevelopment activities provides critical-timing support to expedite project initiation. Predevelopment activities include tasks such as preparing a detailed predevelopment budget and preliminary financial analysis for the construction of the development; developing architectural plans and preliminary engineering; preparing soils and environmental reports; developing plans for the programming, unit mix, occupancy and affordability restrictions; and developing and implementing community outreach and engagement plans. The predevelopment stage leads to entitlements such as a coastal development permit. To plan and construct affordable housing that meets the needs of the lower-income populations described above, it is typical for affordable housing developers to seek multiple sources of financing and subsidies in order to achieve a financially feasible development.
Exhibit A to the Resolution provides a breakdown of predevelopment costs. As described above, the County has committed $1.5 million in ARPA funds to the Project for predevelopment activities. If the City accepts these grant funds and makes them available for the Project, the combined amount of the ARPA grant funds and the City’s $1 million predevelopment loan would provide the necessary $2.5 million in local funding needed to complete predevelopment work.
The Developer’s financing proforma (Attachment 2) outlines a total City funding commitment of $2 million, inclusive of the predevelopment loan amount, in addition to a long-term lease of the land. The Developer will seek additional funding from several sources - including low-income tax credits, State HCD funds, and the County - for the construction phase of the Project, estimated at $33.7 million. The proforma indicates an ongoing annual operational subsidy of approximately $500,000 will be needed upon completion of construction. This does not imply the City would provide this operating subsidy; however, the Developer is expected to secure financial appropriations to cover these expenses.
SUMMARY:
During the predevelopment phase of the Project, specific unit type/mix, site features and building design characteristics will be developed and reviewed to ensure site plans meet Project requirements. The Project will also involve expanding the Workforce Housing Overlay in the City’s Certified Local Coastal Land Use Plan (LCLUP) and implementing an associated zoning amendment. Parking requirements will also need to be studied and addressed through the local Coastal Development Permit process. Staff will continue to evaluate the Project in relation to provisions outlined in the Local Coastal Land Use Plan, including the Workforce Housing Overlay that supports agriculture as a Coastal Act priority use. The future coastal development permit will be subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission following input from the Architectural Advisory Committee. Staff will continue to update the City Council regarding the Project and ongoing work efforts.
The cost of land, construction, and development fees are typically identified as constraints to producing below market rate (affordable) housing development. As previously mentioned, it is common for affordable housing development to rely on multiple funding sources and other 25
contributions to reach a financially feasible project. For this Project, the incomes of the resident population will be in the lowest income categories, increasing the need for the Developer to secure local financial support as well as other financing such as tax credits. Should the City accept the County ARPA grant funds allocated by the County for the Project, these funds, together with the approved City predevelopment loan, will be sufficient to cover anticipated Project predevelopment costs.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: May 2, 2023
TO: Honorable City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: John Doughty, Assistant City Manager
TITLE: INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF “FEEDING OF WILDLIFE” ORDINANCE ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct a Public Hearing and introduce on first reading an ordinance adopting a new Chapter
8.08 entitled “Feeding of Wildlife” to the Half Moon Bay Municipal Code.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with introducing this Ordinance. Enforcement will be on a complaint and “as-needed” basis by existing staff like any other violation of the Municipal Code.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This recommendation supports the Healthy Communities and Public Safety Element of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On August 16, 2022, the City Council agreed to the placement of an item on a future agenda regarding the feeding of wildlife by visitors and community members, notably omniverous birds such as ravens and crows. The request was at the behest of a group of residents that believe the practice is deleterious to the local environment. This group advocated for a local ordinance to restrict the feeding of such birds in Half Moon Bay.
On September 21, 2022, the City Manager and Interim Assistant City Manager met with a group of residents to discuss their concerns and to receive an update on their research regarding protection of wildlife. Their research material was provided in the October 4 staff report to the City Council.
On October 4, 2022, the City Council conducted a workshop on the issue. Several members of the public spoke advocating for the preparation of an ordinance to restrict the feeding of wildlife in the City limits of Half Moon Bay. Following the public input, the City Council 41
deliberated on the subject. The City Council requested that staff seek input from other local experts. The Peninsula Humane Society was contacted and agreed to send one of their wildlife specialists to speak to the community and City Council.
On October 18, 2022, the City Council received a presentation from the Peninsula Humane Society. Following this informative presentation, City Council gave staff direction to conduct further research and return with a proposed draft ordinance if deemed appropriate.
Additionally, the City Council requested staff to develop an education program to discourage feeding of wildlife focused on the Poplar Beach area.
Following the October 18 meeting, staff met with representatives of the two local feral cat nonprofits. These meetings were informative and clearly established, in staff’s mind, that existing ordinances are being abided by and that feral cats should not be included in this ordinance discussion.
On March 7, 2023, the City Council conducted a community workshop to review a draft version of the proposed ordinance. Following that workshop, the City Council directed staff to return with the ordinance for formal adoption process.
DISCUSSION:
The original impetus for this item focused primarily on the feeding of ravens and the impacts this activity was having on other local wildlife as well as neighboring properties. In the process of developing the draft ordinance, we did find that ravens and crows are indigenous to California and most of the United States and that these birds are omnivorous and often compete with raptors and other birds of prey for food wherever they coexist.
City staff also communicated with two local bird experts. These experts indicated that feeding of ravens and crows (Corvus) is problematic for the following reasons:
1) Regular feeding can and often leads to concentration of Corvus where naturally they would not concentrate; and
2) Concentration of Corvus leads to unnatural increases in population; and 3) Increased population means greater competition for food and habitat with raptors and other birds of prey; and
4) Ultimately, this could result in loss of raptors and birds of prey in the coastal bluff area which could be detrimental to the health of the habitat of this and other areas on the Coastside.
The local experts indicated that small backyard bird feeders are important to the survival of the wild songbird population and that any proposed regulations should not preclude the use of small, suspended bird feeders, including hummingbird feeders. 42
In the course of discussions with community members and City Council, it became evident that there are many different types of wildlife and habitats that are being affected by wellintentioned people throughout the City. These include coyotes, deer, wild turkeys, foxes, skunks, raccoons, opossums, squirrels, ducks, geese, ravens, crows, and gulls. Feeding of these animals can also result in increased numbers which in turn can lead to the presence of apex predators like Mountain Lions.
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) have regulations in place that prohibit the feeding of wildlife in the State. CDFW has limited resources and capacity to respond to and engage in enforcement in the City. State law grants local agencies like the City of Half Moon Bay the authority to enact laws to protect public health, safety and welfare. From our research, we have found that many jurisdictions have chosen to supplement the CDFW regulations by enacting local ordinances prohibiting the feeding of wildlife.
In response to City Council direction, staff prepared a draft ordinance. The ordinance is modeled after local ordinances reviewed over the last several months. The draft ordinance:
• Deems that feeding of wildlife is both detrimental to wildlife health and causes a public health nuisance and safety hazard that negatively impacts public health and welfare. • Defines "Wildlife" as any non-domesticated species of animal including but not limited to coyotes, deer, wild turkeys, foxes, skunks, raccoons, opossums, squirrels, ducks, geese, ravens, crows, and gulls.
• Establishes that no person shall purposely or knowingly feed wildlife on public or private property in the City of Half Moon Bay.
• Limits feeding of birds on private properties is only permitted via feeders subject to specific criteria.
• Establishes that a violation of any provision of the Ordinance shall constitute an infraction and a public nuisance, subject to enforcement and penalties, civil fines, and other remedies.
The ordinance, as written, applies to both public and private lands within the jurisdiction and authority of the City of Half Moon Bay. The ordinance would be enforceable by any law enforcement agency as well as City Code Compliance staff. As staff has indicated previously, there is limited capacity to monitor the beaches, paths and trails in the City. Enforcement will primarily be based upon direct observation and upon formal complaint.
Upon adoption, staff will work on developing permanent signage and educational materials.
Staff will seek assistance from the Parks and Recreation Commission on design and placement locations.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: May 2, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Maz Bozorginia, Public Works Director/City Engineer
TITLE: UPDATE ON JOHN L. CARTER PARK IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (CIP NO. 0611) ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Receive an update on the John L. Carter Park Improvements Project and provide feedback to Staff.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional fiscal impact at this time. The design modifications being considered are funded through previously approved and budgeted contingency funds. To date, the City has expended approximately $1,050,000 for the project that is reimbursable to the State grant.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Infrastructure and Environment and Healthy Communities and Public Safety Elements of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The Parks Master Plan adopted by the City Council on February 5, 2019, identified John L.
Carter Memorial Park (Carter Park) as an opportunity to increase community recreation at an underutilized City Park. The Park Master Plan specifically identified Carter Park’s potential to become a “well utilized cultural events park with performances and summer day camps.” While preparing the City’s FY 2018-19 budget, the Parks and Recreation Commission and residents expressed desire to consider Carter Park improvements as a priority. City Council accepted this recommendation and designated the Carter Park Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) project to be a priority.
The John L. Carter Park Improvements Project includes a new amphitheater including terraced seating, a new stage with storage space and changing room, a children’s play area, picnic area, restroom and concession stand building, park access improvements, a solidarity trail, landscaping, lighting, and utility improvements.
49
On December 8, 2020, the Planning Commission approved the environmental review and adopted a mitigated negative declaration (MND) and approved PDP-19-059, an application for a Coastal Development Permit, Use Permit, Architectural Review, and Parking Exception, to allow the renovation of the John L. Carter Park Project. On March 9, 2021, the Planning Commission approved an addendum to the MND for the project to clarify some lighting and height discrepancies for the theatrical stage.
The City of Half Moon Bay, with support from Assemblymember Berman, was successful in obtaining funding through the California State Budget in the amount of $4.75 million to assist the City in constructing improvements at John L. Carter Park, effective FY 2021-22. This funding source is via California Proposition 68.
On December 21, 2021, the City Council approved the filing of the project application for Carter Park with the State of California Local Assistance Specified Grant and authorizing the City Manager to conduct all necessary business to complete the grant scope and enter into the funding agreement for the John L. Carter Park project.
On May 17, 2022, the City Council approved the award of a construction contract to Wickman Development and Construction of San Francisco, California, in the bid amount of $4,971,000 and a construction contingency amount of 15 percent or $745,650 as well as contracts for biological monitoring and material testing and inspection services from qualified professionals, SWCA Inc. ($35,079) and Bay Area Geotechnical Group ($115,415), respectively.
DISCUSSION:
Based on the original design, three items were purposefully excluded from the construction contract due to budgetary constraints. These items are the audio/visual system, children’s play structures and the main entry sign at Main Street. Originally, City staff was working with partners (including Mariner’s Church, Shakespeare in the Park, and Friends of Half Moon Bay Parks) to aid in fundraising but those efforts have been postponed in light of other critical path items that have since become a high priority.
Historically, maintenance and site access to Carter Park has been provided through the Stone Pine Shopping Center: vehicular access via the shopping center parking lot, and pedestrian access via a sidewalk from Main Street along the southerly boundary of the parking lot. The Carter Park renovation project was subject to significant community advocacy, discussion, stakeholder outreach and legal noticing. Throughout the concept development and entitlement process, staff were in regular communication with neighbors, stakeholders and interested parties. City staff welcomed the opportunity to discuss needs and concerns regarding the project, including conversations with adjoining owners and tenants. From the beginning, staff and relevant stakeholders understood and conveyed that the project would require a temporary construction easement(s) as part of its construction. Staff met with and received a verbal agreement on a temporary construction agreement, in principle, from the owner of the Stone Pine Center. Unfortunately, the owner of the Center decided to not sign the temporary construction agreement. City staff, including the City Manager and City Attorney, have been 50
working with the owner to resolve this matter. Staff has successfully negotiated a Temporary Construction Easement with Mariner’s Church. Unfortunately, access from Mariner’s Church is not adequate for most of the construction needs.
Absent the TCE from Stone Pine Center, the City shifted focus to completing the Coastside County Water District’s requirement for upgrade of the existing water service to Carter Park.
After reviewing the locations of public watermains and other factors, it was determined that an alignment extending from the Mariner’s Church site was most appropriate. As noted previously, Mariner’s Church granted a TCE to the City. The contractor is mobilizing and preparing to install the water line extension to Carter Park.
During the fall and winter wet season 2022 and 2023, the City and region experienced one of the wettest seasons on record. The National Weather Service identified more than 10 atmospheric rivers that brought historic rainfall. The City experienced localized flooding in conjunction with these storm events, with significant flooding occurring in and along Pilarcitos Creek. During the New Years period, Pilarcitos Creek flows reached flows in excess of 2100 cfs.
The flow was one of the highest recorded since USGS started monitoring at this site in 1967.
The entire Pilarcitos Creek watershed, including Carter Park, was affected by these historic flows. Carter Park required clean-up, but no infrastructure was damaged.
The construction delays resulting from the lack of TCE from the Stone Pine Center have allowed staff to reexamine the project design, given the extreme weather condition of this past winter.
Over the last several months, staff have met with the project architect, engineer, and contractor to evaluate and identify means to modify elements of the project to increase overall resiliency by minimizing flooding impacts on the future improvements. The revisions now incorporated into the project design include, but are not limited to:
- Redesign of the stage area including construction materials and methods to improve flood resiliency; and
- Reduction and relocation of storage facilities and dry utilities in the lower area of the park; and
- Changing the low-lying surface areas around the stage to natural turf which will better withstand flooding conditions; and
- Utilizing a different synthetic turf material that is more flood-resilient in the terraced seating areas; and
- Modifications to dry utilities and lighting on the terraced seating and restroom/snack bar structure; and
- Other improvements to protect against future flows and standing waters.
In conclusion, the John L. Carter Park Improvements Project remains an important recreational, performing arts, and economic development project that will add to the vibrancy of our downtown. Although the original plans for the project included flood resilient design and construction elements, the delays and subsequent historic winter storms have provided an opportunity to increase the resiliency and ensure the project results in improvements that will 51
better withstand the test of time. Staff will continue working with the adjacent property owners to obtain necessary access rights to complete the project, and we welcome additional ideas and feedback from the City Council and community. 52 BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: May 2, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: John Doughty, Assistant City Manager
TITLE: THE SPIRIT OF LIFE BELL SCULPTURE
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
By resolution, authorize the City Manager to execute a Public Art Agreement between the City of Half Moon Bay and Silvio Modena III., formally accepting the donation of the “The Spirit of Life Bell” sculpture created by Silvio J. Modena Jr.; and affirming the continued temporary placement of the sculpture in the City Hall parking lot until such time as a permanent location is established by a subsequent resolution of the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The operating budget of the City Manager’s Office is sufficient to cover the administrative costs of the art donation program. A community member has funded purchase of the sculpture and offered it as a public art donation to the City. Community members have also indicated a willingness to fund a portion of the costs of creating a new public space near City Hall as part of a project paying tribute to “service to country and community.” No estimate of costs is yet available and will be dependent upon accepted design and potential phasing.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This recommendation supports the Healthy Communities and Public Safety Element of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
In late summer of 2022, a group of community members approached the City regarding the potential donation of a piece of art created by artist Silvio Modena Jr. Mr. Modena passed away in October 2022 after battling cancer. Mr. Modena grew up in San Gregorio, the eldest son of an Italian immigrant artichoke farmer. He served in the U.S. Navy having joined with his long-time friend John (Farmer John) Muller. Mr. Modena created bells of various sizes and designs from used high pressure compressed air cylinders similar to those he used in the Navy.
On August 24, 2022, the Parks and Recreation Commission received a presentation regarding the proposed sculpture and possible donation. The Commission heard from community members in 53 support of the donation. Staff identified two possible locations for the piece. The first site being Kitty Fernandez Park and the second being Poplar Beach. During deliberation on the request, it was suggested that a location near City Hall would be optimal. Conversation ensued regarding the possibility of creating a new public space next to City Hall within a portion of the existing parking lot. The item was continued to September 28 to allow the proponents and City staff to better assess the City Hall parking lot option.
On September 28, 2022, the Parks and Recreation Commission received a follow-up presentation.
The Commission was informed that Steve Kikuchi of Kikuchi + Kankel Design Group agreed to work on conceptual designs with community members for a new (potential) public space which would have the sculpture/bell as a centerpiece. The Commission formally recommended the City Council allow further exploration of a City Hall parklet in connection with permanent placement of the sculpture.
On October 18, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. C-2022-104 authorizing acceptance of a loan of the bell sculpture and allowing temporary placement in the City Hall parking lot. The City Council authorized temporary placement of the Bell at City Hall through December 31, 2022.
Kikichi + Kankel subsequently developed three concept plans for a City Hall parklet on behalf of the community group. Erin Tormey, a member of the community group, has presented the concepts and received community input with the hope of landing on a preferred concept. Erin has agreed to provide the Council and the community an overview of the concepts and an update on the parklet planning effort.
On February 22, 2023, Erin Tormey presented the concept plans to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Ms. Tormey included an update on prior and planned outreach efforts.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of tonight’s item is two-fold: first, to consider formal acceptance of the sculpture; and second to receive an update on planning for the potential City Hall parklet project. Exhibit A to the resolution is the art donation agreement (“Public Artwork Agreement”). This form was provided and recommended by the City Attorney. Optimally, the permanent location of the sculpture would be known. Staff are seeking City Council authorization to allow the sculpture to remain at City Hall indefinitely.
As noted in earlier background, the offered donation of The Spirit of Life Bell sculpture sparked interest from a diverse group of community members and has led to a conversation about creation of a public space adjacent to City Hall to recognize “Service to Country and Community.” Silvio has an impact on many people throughout his life and many of us were fortunate to be touched by his presence and humanity in his last days with us.

Additionally, in accordance with Government Code Section 53600 et seq., the City’s Treasurer is to provide the City Council with a report on investments on a quarterly basis. As shown in the Treasurer’s Report (Attachment 2), the City’s investments are in external investment pools listed at cost, as well as its fair value, not amortized cost, in compliance with Governmental Accounting Standard. The City’s investment practices strictly follow Government Code Section 53600 et seq., the City’s investment policy, and a prudent person’s rule. 57
DISCUSSION:
As of March 31, 2023, the General Fund revenues totaled $14.8 million or 65% of the approved budget. General Fund expenditures total $17.3 million or 73% of budget. As stated in the attached report, revenues and expenditures are performing as anticipated.
The City’s cash and investment portfolio at fair market value, as of March 31, 2023, is $49.1 million of which $38.7 million is placed with the San Mateo County Treasurer’s Investment Pool and $7.7 million is placed with the State Controller’s Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), and $2.7 million in operating accounts with Wells Fargo Bank. The average weighted yield for the City’s cash and investments is 2.32 % for the quarter.
With the information available, staff holds no great concern for financial stability for the current fiscal year; however, will continue to monitor any changes that may impact the City.
