Re: Assembly Bill 1420 (Berman) Firearms
City of Half Moon Bay – Letter of Support
Dear Assembly Member Berman:

On behalf of the City of Half Moon Bay, I write to express my strong support for your bill, AB 1420, which would expand the authority of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to conduct firearm dealer inspections to ensure compliance with all applicable state laws, and to require DOJ to maintain information on the number of firearms dealers found to have violated applicable state laws with knowledge or gross negligence.

The proliferation of gun violence has deeply and intimately hurt many communities across California, and as you know, very recently hit us in Half Moon Bay. Unfortunately, there is no mechanism to ensure enforcement of many of our existing firearm laws. This problem is evident as the DOJ’s compliance units report that when they do inspections, they see other violations but cannot do anything about it because it is beyond the scope of their authority. AB 1420 will remedy this fixable issue.

For the reasons stated above, I am pleased to support this bill and thank you for your work on this very important topic.

Sincerely,
Deborah Penrose
Mayor of Half Moon Bay

RE: SB 381 (Min) Electric Bicycles: Study
Letter of Support – City of Half Moon Bay
Dear Senator Min,
On behalf of the City of Half Moon Bay, I write in support of your SB 381, which would direct the Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University, in consultation with relevant stakeholders, to conduct a study on electric bicycles to inform efforts to improve the safety of riders and pedestrians. Specifically, this bill will look to guide research of key causes of injuries and fatalities from electric bicycle usage using data collected from various sources.

Half Moon Bay is a small city located in California’s central coast. Micro mobility modes of transportation such as skateboards, bicycles, and electric bicycles are popular in our City as a means of easy and healthy active transportation. As the City experiments with new modes of micro-mobility, the need for research into the safety of these emerging types of transportation is paramount. While the City supports new modes of transportation that reduce traffic congestion, improve vehicular flow, and improve air quality, public safety and quality of life measures need to be considered.

Recently, our City Council has agendized discussions on E-bikes and has actively sought community input on where they should be allowed, and which classes of E-bikes should be allowed in certain areas.

The first step toward addressing these concerns in a thoughtful way that maintains and encourages alternative forms of transportation involves data collection and analysis. SB 381 will provide the missing link to inform common sense public safety measures to protect residents and promote clean transportation.

Thank you for your work on this important topic, and again, I am pleased to support SB 381.

Re: SB 423 (Wiener) Land use: streamlined housing approvals:
multifamily housing development
City of Half Moon Bay – Letter of Opposition Unless Amended (As amended 5.23.2023) Dear Senator Wiener:

On behalf of the City of Half Moon Bay, I write in respectful opposition to SB 423 unless amended, and to express concerns and suggest some amendments which we hope to discuss further with your office.

SB 423 extends the sunset associated with SB 35 (Statutes of 2017) and would pre-empt local discretionary land use authority by making approvals of multifamily developments ministerial actions under a number of circumstances.

We have concerns with many of the bill’s provisions, and ask that you consider amending SB 423 accordingly:
 Remove Applicability to the Coastal Zone: SB 423 would now make SB 35 developments applicable in the coastal zone. Documented environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHAs) and productive agricultural and horticulture land uses are interspersed between Half Moon Bay’s neighborhoods and around the Downtown, as well as in many other partially urbanized parts of the coastal zone. We appreciate that SB 423 would continue to prohibit development in wetlands; however, that is an inadequate protection for coastal resources. Wetlands are but one type of ESHA, and buffer requirements must also be accounted for. Development near agricultural lands also requires special care.

Discretion remains critical to protecting these resources and land uses in accordance with the California Coastal Act. Coastal Commission-certified Local Coastal Programs establish the foundation for local agencies to exercise appropriate discretion in the administration of coastal development permits. As such, we would respectfully request that you consider not removing the coastal zone exemption from SB 35, through this bill.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 570C3EBB-0D5D-4852-97D9-2E0B6E2C6113 17  Sensitive Areas Surrounded by VHFSZ and HFSZ: Half Moon Bay, like many cities throughout the state, are partially in or are proximate to the State’s Very-High and HighFire Hazard Severity Zones. We respectfully request that you incorporate language to ensure that communities closely encapsulated by those specified fire zones can include additional objective standards related to fire codes and specific egress requirements, which are currently excluded from the text of the bill.

The unfortunate reality of volatile weather patterns means that the state will inevitably experience catastrophic wildfires over and over again. Developments designed to be marketed as affordable will have the burdens of obtaining skyrocketing fire insurance policies whose prices will likely eclipse the cost of reasonable rents.

Half Moon Bay is completely surrounded by very high fire severity zones, and the mountainous topography of the community along with only one exit route, we feel, warrants our city having the ability to include additional objective standards related to fire codes and specific egress requirements.
 Semi-rural Areas and Access to Basic Services: Coastal San Mateo County has very limited transit service, a severe childcare shortage, and no hospital. The context for multifamily development needs to take this into account, and SB 35 is too blunt of a tool to do so. In contrast, the City is carefully planning housing for the local workforce, including farmworkers, service workers, teachers, and older adults in locations and formats that will reduce VMT, support multi-generational living environments, and provide the wraparound services that our low-income residents need. Our low-income local workforce also relies on cars to get to work and manage errands. While SB 35’s parking reductions are appropriate in areas where transit and services are conveniently concentrated in urban settings, that is not the context for semi-rural Half Moon Bay and many other communities throughout the State.

Half Moon Bay has been a wonderful example of a coastal community that has done everything it can to develop affordable and deeply affordable housing, especially for our farmworker community. While we commend you for being a strong affordable housing advocate, we feel that SB 423 may unintentionally bypass sensitive environmental review standards, will exacerbate the local jobs-housing mismatch already present in many coastal communities, and needs to revisit the parking provisions laid out in SB 35. If SB 423 makes SB 35 applicable in the coastal zone, such provision should be limited to sites identified by local jurisdictions as appropriate for residential development in their Local Coastal Programs and in the housing opportunity site inventories of their Housing Elements; however, even in those cases, including in Half Moon Bay, some sites will still require discretionary review due to potential impacts on coastal resources. The California Coastal Act and implementing Local Coastal Programs must not be side-stepped.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 570C3EBB-0D5D-4852-97D9-2E0B6E2C6113 18 For the reasons stated above, we must respectfully oppose SB 423, unless amended, and we look forward to engaging in conversations with your office as you work this bill through the legislative process.

Sincerely,
Deborah Penrose

There is no net fiscal impact to the City. The total amount of the professional services agreement is funded through a $2,500,000 grant from the County of San Mateo and covers a grant term that began April 20, 2023, and ends on September 30, 2024.

STRATEGIC ELEMENT:

This recommendation supports the Fiscal Sustainability, Healthy Communities and Public Safety, and Inclusive Governance Elements of the Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND:

The Coastside Recovery Initiative (CRI) is a comprehensive economic recovery effort sponsored by the City of Half Moon Bay, in partnership and collaboration with the Half Moon Bay Coastside Chamber of Commerce and County of San Mateo. It launched in 2021 with the purpose of providing immediate relief to individuals and businesses impacted by COVID and positioning the coastside economy for long-term resiliency. A public report, which included 15 recommendations, was published in March of 2022.

One of the recommendations in the report was the development of a small business assistance center at the Half Moon Bay Coastside Chamber of Commerce. In May of 2022, City and County staff toured the newly opened Economic Advancement Center in South San Francisco. The 20

Coastside and the unincorporated region of North Fair Oaks were identified as two areas within the County that were susceptible to economic and social fallout stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, and two areas that needed services to support job seekers, small businesses, and entrepreneurs. Over the course of the summer, City and County staff held a series of stakeholder and working meetings to discuss programming, facility needs and potential costs.

In late August, the County of San Mateo, City of South San Francisco, and City of Half Moon Bay presented the Economic Advancement Center concept to staff from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) and emphasized the benefit of forming a cohort for peer reflection and joint learning. On August 31, the City of Half Moon Bay submitted a proposal to CZI seeking funds to support an 18-month process evaluation of the creation and early implementation of these centers in three distinct communities. The City was successful in securing $100,000 in CZI funds and will lead the evaluation process. During this same time City and County staff worked diligently on preliminary plans for the economic advancement center in Half Moon Bay.

On October 4, 2022, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors approved these plans and allocated $5 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to support the development of economic advancement centers with $2.5 million allocated to both the Coastside and North Fair Oaks communities. The centers would provide supportive services for job seekers, small businesses, and entrepreneurs.

City and County staff exchanged evolving drafts of a work plan and budget throughout the end of the year, that were required documents for a grant agreement. Changes in San Mateo County leadership, severe winter storms and flooding, and the mass shooting incident on January 23, 2023, all contributed to City and County staff’s diversion from normal day-to-day work to crises response. Despite these pivots, the City and County were able to finalize negotiations on a grant agreement which was executed at the end of April 2023.

The City has actively been searching for a home for the newly established Opportunity Center of the Coastside (OCC) with priority given to locations accessible by public transportation and within walking distance to supportive services and resources such as the Half Moon Bay Library and local nonprofits. Immediately upon receipt of the first disbursement of grant funds, the City issued a Request for Proposals on seeking key partners that will provide critical workforce, small business, and entrepreneur support services. Proposals are due July 31 and programming is expected to commence September 1, 2023.

The Coastside economy, inclusive of its businesses, residents, and workforce, has experienced consecutive setbacks stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic including wildfires, inflation, severe winter storms, a substantial sinkhole on one of two major thoroughfares, and a mass casualty incident. Even before the pandemic, the Coastside region was uniquely vulnerable due to its geographic isolation, lack of economic diversity and job growth, income inequality, high cost of housing and lack of services and infrastructure. Farmworkers and low-income families have been disproportionately impacted by these events on top of the 2019 closure of Bay City 21

Flowers that resulted in job losses for about 200 workers. Access to good paying jobs, small business support, or entrepreneurship are all paths toward self-sufficiency.

The City and its partners including the Half Moon Bay Coastside Chamber of Commerce agree that workforce development and small business support will be essential to the immediate needs and long-term success of the Coastside economy. In addition, a business incubator, another recommendation from the Coastside Recovery Initiative, may be added to the OCC’s programming, pending location and funding. The incubator would harness the Coastside’s unique industries and assets, build entrepreneurship capacity and support business and job growth.

DISCUSSION:

The Chamber has been a valued partner to the City and has had active involvement with the Coastside Recovery Initiative since its inception. The Chamber President served on the Executive Committee of the Recovery Task Force providing strategic direction and oversight and as a committee member for two working teams. The Chamber also administers the Hotel Business Improvement District and is uniquely positioned to understand the incredible appeal and character of the Coastside region and community as well as the needs of local businesses and other economic challenges.

Based on the CRI recommendation and in collaboration with the City, the Chamber launched a Coastside Business Development Center on August 31, 2022, which included upgrades to their existing Main Street facility, including a public business center, classroom, meeting room with hybrid technology, and outdoor space. This downtown location is equipped and capable of serving as the initial location for OCC programming with the option of short- or longer-term occupancy. The facility is not large enough to host all of the planned services and amenities envisioned for the OCC, but given the constraints of the current commercial real estate market, this flexibility allows program staff to launch initial services to the community this summer and at a convenient downtown location accessible by public transportation and in the immediate vicinity to Highways 1 and 92. The City and Chamber will focus on service delivery and building a sustainable program, but will continue to follow the real estate market for longer term opportunities.

The professional services agreement between the City and Chamber outlines the roles and responsibilities needed to launch the OCC and begin programming. The service provider or providers from the Request for Proposals will be selected in August and enter into agreements to start services by September 1. The Chamber will take the lead role in providing onsite coordination of programming and facility oversight for the OCC and will hire an office coordinator to assist the Chamber President with day-to-day operations. Examples of duties include:
• Welcome and serve as first point of contact for all visitors / potential clients of the Opportunity Center; connect to appropriate service offerings. 22

• Create communications that promote OCC programming through print, digital, and social media outlets.
• Conduct outreach in the community regarding OCC programming and available services. • Manage facilities, including meeting space booking, office supplies and onsite technology needs / issues.
• Support job seeker and small business development support providers with their programming.
• Compile service delivery and client data to facilitate quarterly reporting as required by the County.

The term of the initial agreement is based upon the current restrictions from the County ARPA funding, which must be expended before September 30, 2024. The City is working with the County to extend the funding term and/or identify longer term funding for the center.

The anticipated outcomes of this project would be to help impacted job seekers, including unemployed and employed individuals wishing to improve their prospects for economic advancement, to improve individual and household financial stability and support small business viability and success.

If approved, staff will finalize and execute the agreement with the Chamber, launch programming out of the current Chamber location, conduct outreach and promotion of the OCC, and proceed with program implementation.

AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: July 18, 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: JOHN L. CARTER PARK IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (CIP NO. 0611) – AMENDMENT NO. 6 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH ELS ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN DESIGN, INC. FOR ADDITIONAL DESIGN SERVICES ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 6 to the Professional Services Agreement with ELS Architecture and Urban Design, Inc. (ELS) for additional architectural services for the John L. Carter Park Improvements Project (Project), increasing the contract amount by $44,274, totaling a contract amount not to exceed $651,346.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is adequate funding remaining in the Project account to fully fund this Amendment request from ELS.

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, 26

restroom and concession stand building, park access improvements, a nature trail, landscaping, lighting, and utility improvements.

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.

On October 19, 2021, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a contract with ELS Architecture and Urban Design to complete permit plans, to assist with bidding, and to provide support during construction. ELS served as the Architect for the City during entitlement and permit processes. This was considered Amendment Number 4 of their contract.

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.

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.

Since then, staff and ELS have been reexamining the project design, given the extreme weather conditions of this past winter. Staff have met with ELS, the project engineer, the construction manager, and the contractors 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,
- Reduction and relocation of storage facilities and dry utilities in the lower area of the park,
- Changing the low-lying surface areas around the stage to natural turf which will better withstand flooding conditions,
27

- Utilizing a different synthetic turf material that is more flood-resilient in the terraced seating areas,
- 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.

ELS will further look into additional ways to increase overall resiliency by minimizing flooding impacts on the future improvements. This amendment request and approval would allow ELS to perform an analysis of potential mitigation measures that could be undertaken to lessen the impact of future flooding on improvements made to the park as part of the project. Upon further review of the analysis, ELS will incorporate any design modifications and revise construction drawings. The services listed above are estimated to cost $49,740.

Staff recommends for the City Council to adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 6 to the Professional Services Agreement with ELS Architecture and Urban Design, Inc. (ELS) for additional architectural services for the John L. Carter Park Improvements Project (Project), increasing the contract amount by $44,274, totaling a contract amount not to exceed $651,346.

TITLE: FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF THE KELLY AVENUE CROSSWALKS PROJECT (CIP NO. 1018)
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or his designee to file a Notice of Completion for the Kelly Avenue Crosswalks Project, release the Performance and Labor and Materials Bonds, start the one-year warranty bond period, and release the retention funds thirty (30) days after recordation of the Notice of Completion.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The approved contract award was $189,853.41 with an additional $28,478.01 (15%) in contingency funding, totaling an authorized amount of $218,331.42 for the project. The total cost of the construction of the project was $207,288.58.

STRATEGIC ELEMENT:

This action supports the Infrastructure and Environment and Healthy Communities and Public Safety elements of the adopted Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND:

On June 7, 2022, by Resolution C-2022-38, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Innovate Concrete, Inc. of Santa Clara, California, in the amount of $189,853.41, including $28,478.01 for contingencies, totaling a construction budget amount of $218,331.42 for the Kelly Avenue Crosswalks Project. In addition, the City Council authorized the Administrative Services Director to transfer $265,000.00 from the Pavement Management and Traffic Safety Program (CIP No. 0514) to the Kelly Avenue Crosswalks Project (CIP No. 1018). The request for transferring funds included previously expended funds (~$30,000) for design, as well as construction administration services. To assist with funding the project, the Cabrillo Unified School District applied for a Safe Routes to Schools Grant and was awarded $14,000.

The project was located at, and between two intersections along Kelly Avenue, Alsace Lorraine Avenue and Pilarcitos Avenue. The Alsace Lorraine Intersection scope included installing two 33

new high visibility crosswalks to aid pedestrians crossing Kelly Avenue and Alsace Lorraine Avenue. A raised crosswalks was installed at the eastern leg of the intersections as well to slow vehicles down to ensure safety for all modes of transportation traveling into the intersection. A new ADA compliant curb ramp was installed at the northeast corner of the intersection, along with upgrading the existing curb ramp at the southeastern corner of the intersection to comply with ADA Standards. The Pilarcitos Intersection scope included installing new and refreshening the high visibility crosswalks along all legs of the intersection. The contractors also upgraded the existing curb ramp at the northeastern corner of the intersection in order to comply with ADA Standards. Four rapid-flashing solar-powered beacons were installed to further aid safe pedestrian crossing along all legs of the intersection. Additional scope of work included minor pavement restoration and updating signage at both intersections of the project.

DISCUSSION:

This project is now complete. The one-year warranty bond is adequate to ensure the work products perform as expected.

Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to file a Notice of Completion, release the Performance and Labor and Materials Bonds, start the one-year warrant bond, and release the retention funds thirty (30) days after recordation of the Notice of Completion for the Kelly Avenue Crosswalks Project.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Maz Bozorginia, Public Works Director/City Engineer Lisa Lopez Rossi, Administrative Services Director
Kenneth Stiles, Finance Manager
TITLE: FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 SEWER SERVICE CHARGES AND ASSESSMENTS RECOMMENDATION:

Conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Sewer Service Assessments and charges, direct staff to file the assessment roll, and authorize the County Controller to place the assessment charges on the County of San Mateo Property Tax Roll and direct staff to bill assessments directly that are not on the tax roll.

FISCAL IMPACT:

In June 2020, the City Council adopted new sewer service charges for Fiscal Year 2020 – 2021 (FY21) through FY25 (five years) as part of its California Proposition 218 sewer services charges study and protest process. The adjustments were necessary to address increasing costs of the Sewer Authority Mid-Coastside and the need to maintain and improve the City’s sewer collection system. The total FY 2023-24 revenues are projected to be approximately $6.3 million.

Due to inflation and deferred capital improvements, Sewer Authority Mid-Coastside (SAM) related costs in FY 2023-24 are budgeted at $4.5 million, representing a 7% decrease from the prior year. The total City sewer operation costs are budgeted at $6.5 million, representing a 4.8% increase overall. As was identified in the adopted rate study, the City is utilizing funds derived from assessments and charges for service past and present to meet annual operational funding.

Annual operational funding includes capital expenses and operational expenses by both the City and SAM.

STRATEGIC ELEMENT:

This recommendation supports the Fiscal Sustainability and Inclusive Governance elements of the City’s Strategic Plan.
36 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

As set forth in California Code of Regulations Section 15273, the California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates and other charges by a public agency provided the purpose is to maintain and operate services within the existing service area boundary.

BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:

The City’s collection system includes approximately 35 miles of gravity sewer lines, three (3) pump stations and three (3) force mains. Wastewater from residences, businesses, schools, restaurants, and other buildings and uses is conveyed through sewer mains owned by the City of Half Moon Bay to the sewer treatment plant operated by Sewer Authority Mid-Coastside (SAM).

The City collection system serves residences, businesses, and public uses from Frenchman’s Creek in the north to Miramontes Point Road in the south. The City primarily serves properties located in the incorporated area; however, the City serves some adjacent areas outside City limits including the Moonridge Affordable Housing Development.

The City, Granada Community Services District (Granada), and Montara Water and Sanitary District (Montara) form the Sewer Authority Mid-Coastside via an exercise of Joint Powers Authority (JPA). SAM facilities include a conventional wastewater treatment plant (located at 1000 N. Cabrillo Highway, Half Moon Bay) and the Intertie Pipeline System (IPS), which conveys flows through pumping facilities, force mains, and interceptor pipelines from Granada and Montara service areas to the wastewater treatment plant. Under the current JPA, the City is responsible for paying a proportional share of the plant flow for operations, maintenance, and capital costs of the wastewater treatment plant. In the current fiscal year, the City’s proportional share of operations and maintenance is set at 61.5%.

The regional wastewater treatment plant was originally constructed in the late 1970s, following the formation of the JPA. The treatment plant was substantially upgraded in late 1999/early 2000 and has sufficient capacity to receive and treat anticipated wastewater flows. The treatment plant requires major capital repair/replacement efforts which have been estimated between $30 and $40 million. This rate study assumes funding of capital repair and replacement on a pay-as-you-go basis for the foreseeable horizon. The rate study anticipated holding at roughly $2.5 million in combined annual contributions for capital repair/replacement from the City, Granada, and Montara; in FY 2022-23 this figure was $3.0 million. In FY 2023-24, SAM has budgeted $1.7 million in combined capital funding, of which the City is currently obligated to share 61.5%, or $1.06 million.

The IPS was constructed in the late 1970s and is, for the most part, comprised of original system components. In 2017, the Granada Force Main suffered a major break and resulted in a significant sanitary sewer spill (SSO). Two smaller SSO events occurred on other sections of the Granada Force Main. As a result, SAM completed replacement of approximately 5,700 feet of the Granada Force Main at a cost of almost $2 million. SAM recently completed work on an additional 1,500 feet of the Granada Force Main. Pursuant to settlement terms with the Ecological Resource Foundation (ERF), SAM remains committed to a series of studies and possible replacements of 37 the IPS over the coming years totaling an estimated $10 million. Total IPS repair and replacement is conservatively estimated between $20 and $25 million. To date, City ratepayers have contributed (under protest) approximately $5.6 million toward IPS related repair/replacement since 2017. Under a recent trial court decision that is currently on appeal, City ratepayers would expect to pay approximately 60% of all costs related to the IPS replacement, absent reversal by the Court of Appeal.

Additionally, due to the 2022/2023 Winter Storms, the Montara Force Main had a spot failure in a critical segment in Moss Beach that resulted in SSO’s and a shutdown of the system to repair.

This failure was surprising, given that SAM staff and their consultant engineer (SRT) prepared a condition assessment for the Montara Force Main back in 2021 that stated that the pipe was in good condition and no immediate replacement was necessary. After the atmospheric rivers, SAM staff and member agencies started to look closely at the condition and are awaiting results of a forensic assessment. SAM did authorize a contract with SRT to start design and environmental work, and the City awaits an update on that progress.

SEWER ENTERPRISE FUND OVERVIEW:

The City’s Sewer Fund is a government enterprise fund. An enterprise fund is a self-supporting government fund that provides a specialized service. In this instance, City sewer services represent the specialized service; the Sewer Fund is the City’s only enterprise fund. The Sewer Fund is shown in the City’s Annual Operations Budget as two separate accounts: Fund 201 (Operating Fund); and 202 (Sewer Capital Fund). The separation exists primarily to ensure that sewer capacity fees paid by private development are accounted for and utilized solely for their intended capital purposes. The two funds also provide a basis for annual budgeting toward operating and capital expenditures. Per the Rate Study, the City Council committed to maintaining an Operating Reserve equal to 75 days (app. 20.5% of budget) as well as a Capital Improvements Reserve of up to 2% of Net Total capital Assets. 99% of sewer system (utility) revenues is derived directly from rates charged to the users of the sewer system. Per state law, sewer service charges are permitted to recover only revenues sufficient to adequately fund sewer utility operations, maintenance, and capital replacement expenditures including maintenance of emergency and capital reserves. As noted, the City’s sewer service charges include not only the operation and maintenance of the City collection system, but also the proportional costs of operating and maintaining the Sewer Authority MidCoastside (SAM) (including the treatment plant and intertie pipeline system).

Operations and maintenance costs for sewer services have increased significantly over the last seven years. Between FY 2015-16 ($2,299,898) and FY 2019-20 ($4,131,899), Half Moon Bay’s proportion of SAM budgeted costs alone have almost doubled. Additionally, the City’s share of the costs during this same time-period has increased by more than 10%. As noted above, the City’s FY 2023-24 SAM related costs increased by approximately 15% over FY 2022-23 assessments. SAM related increases are attributable to many factors including added staffing and related cost increases, addressing deferred maintenance at the plant, and the rapidly increasing cost of materials and labor for capital construction and maintenance. 38 The City’s collection system operating costs have also risen in response to statutory oversight obligations, addressing long deferred maintenance, providing oversight of operations and maintenance, and to account for the rapidly increasing cost of materials and labor for capital construction and maintenance. In 2021, the City Council completed construction of the Ocean Colony Pump Station and Force Main Project (app. $2.5 million total cost). This project was identified by the City and funded by all ratepayers to replace aging infrastructure/technology and protect the environment in the Ocean Colony community. Additional capital maintenance and repair will continue to be needed to protect the environment, limit liability, and meet statutory obligations. The City is actively engaged in identifying and addressing inflow and infiltration (I & I) within the system including annual manhole repair/replacement and smoke testing. The City is also proactively managing and maintaining its sewer collection assets through the cleaning and maintenance activities as well as through in annual CCTV inspections of in-ground pipes (CCTV also serves to evaluate potential I & I related issues). Since FY 2018-19, the costs of providing services exceeded the revenues derived from sewer service charges.

Beginning in September 2019, the City initiated work with Municipal Financial Services (MFS) to prepare a sewer service charges study for the City sewer system. The study (“2020 Sewer Service Charges Study”, dated April 7, 2020) was released in April of 2020 and was subsequently accepted and adopted by City Council in conjunction with the Proposition 218 protest hearing on June 2, 2020. MFS financial modeling indicated that by FY 2022-23, without rate adjustments, the Sewer Fund (Funds 201 and 202) would be exhausted, and revenues would not be sufficient for day-today operations of the sewer enterprise. The Study assumed the terms of the then anticipated (and since failed) Settlement Agreement with Granada and Montara. The rate study also incorporated the annual transfer of funds from Fund 202 to Fund 201 over the course of the five fiscal years. Given the failure of settlement, inflation and overall increasing costs of SAM, the City is contemplating a new rate study to commence later this fiscal year.

On June 2, 2020, the City Council conducted a required public protest hearing on proposed sewer charges adjustments. Following the hearing, the City Council adopted new sewer service charges and methodology for calculating residential charges. In approving the new rates the City Council found the following: 1) All provisions set forth above are true and correct, and are hereby incorporated herein as findings of this City Council by reference; 2) The purposes of the fees and reserves set forth herein are to finance the wastewater system service costs; 3) There is a need for wastewater system services to protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare; 4) The charges do not exceed the cost of providing wastewater system services including basic costs, proportional costs, and allocated costs, and do not exceed the proportional cost of service attributable to the customer’s parcel; and 5) The City did not receive a majority protest of the parcels currently receiving wastewater services.

In July of 2020 and 2021, the City Council Conducted public hearings and adopted resolutions approving the annual Sewer Service Assessments and charges per the adopted rate study.

DISCUSSION:

Sewer service charges are utilized to maintain and operate the City’s sewer collection system and 39 to fund the City’s portion of the SAM operations. As noted earlier, the City is directly responsible for maintaining the system which collects and conveys wastewater, while SAM provides treatment services. The sewer service charges include funding of capital repairs, replacements and improvements both within the City system and the SAM treatment plant. Over the last seven years the cost of SAM JPA services has increased substantially. Additionally, the City has programmed necessary capital projects that have grown increasingly more expensive (due to increased material costs, size of the projects and limited capacity of contractors in Bay Area).

The FY 2023-24 assessments represent the third assessment under the 2020 adopted sewer service charges. FY 2023-24 includes an increase in rates by 13% over the prior year. Detailed discussion of the rate setting process can be found in the City Clerk archives for City Council agendas and packets for March 17, 2020, April 7, 2020, and June 2, 2020. Additional background can be found on the City’s website.1
The City of Half Moon Bay collects sewer service revenues in two ways:

1. Property owners' sewer assessments are added to the tax roll by the San Mateo County Tax Collector (pursuant to Section 5473 of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California). This year, individual assessments of 3,292 parcels are projected to generate $6,035,528.88 in revenues which will be forwarded to the City of Half Moon Bay as part of the San Mateo County tax roll collection.

2. The City also directly bills property owners who are connected to the City sewer system but are not included in the City of Half Moon Bay’s assessments which are collected through the San Mateo County Property Tax Roll. This applies to unassessed government properties and to properties outside of Half Moon Bay city limits that use the City’s sewer system. Another $273,489.56 in revenue is projected by billing 172 properties directly.

Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing and upon closing of the hearing, direct staff to file the assessment roll; authorize the County Controller to place the assessment charges on the San Mateo County Property Tax Roll this year; and direct staff to bill sewer users directly if they are not assessed on the tax roll.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY

AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: July 18, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Julissa Acosta, Management Analyst
Karen Decker, Economic & Community Vitality Manager
TITLE: FY 2023-24 COMMUNITY SERVICES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:

Receive funding recommendations from the Community Services Financial Assistance (CSFA) grant program subcommittee, determine final funding allocations for Fiscal Year 2023-24, and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to finalize and execute agreements as listed in Exhibit A for the Community Services Financial Assistance program for FY 2023-24.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Recommended Budget includes $300,000 for the CSFA grant program.

STRATEGIC ELEMENT:

This action supports all elements of the Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND:

Since FY 2018-19, the City has offered the Community Services Financial Assistance (CSFA) grant program to support non-profits providing important services and programs in Half Moon Bay. The priorities, eligibility, and overall grant amounts have varied from year to year based on the needs of the community. For FY 2022-23, the City Council approved total funding of $300,000, with fewer but larger grant amounts, due to the continued impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including economic and mental health impacts, and based on the findings from the Coastside Recovery Initiative. Grant awards for FY 2022-23 were made only to organizations/programs providing essential safety net services to the residents of Half Moon Bay.

The storms and tragic mass shooting earlier this year only exacerbated the growing inequality and need, a lack of community connectedness, and challenges supporting the hard-to-reach.

Mental health issues and housing insecurity continue to be challenges that require immediate solutions and longer-range strategies.
44

The recent events highlight the urgency of basic needs such as housing, shelter, food, clothing, childcare and financial assistance (including connections to public benefit programs) and affirm what current CSFA grant recipients have identified as the key challenges and needs in their midyear reports. Additionally, promoting collaboration and efforts to better communicate and coordinate between service providers through the cohort approach has also helped address the recommendations and improve access to safety net services.

The City Council’s CSFA Subcommittee met on February 27, 2023, to seek direction on FY 2023- 24 programming. A second meeting of the Subcommittee took place on April 3, 2023, which included a summary of the mid-year reports from FY 2022-23, and further discussion of the funding, process, and requirements for FY 2023-24.

Based on the recommendations included in the CRI report, the continued impacts of the COVID19 pandemic, and the recent community challenges this past winter, the Subcommittee continued to align the CSFA program with recommendations from the Coastside Recovery Initiative (CRI) and directed staff to develop a plan that integrates the CSFA program with CRI and award higher grant amounts to a smaller number of organizations that serve the most vulnerable populations.

The application period opened on April 19 and closed on May 14, 2023. The City received a total of 17 applications. Staff conducted an initial review to determine whether applicants met minimum qualifications, gathered additional information, and subcommittee members reviewed applications individually before meeting on May 30, 2023, and June 27, 2023, to review, discuss, and form a recommendation to the City Council. During the review process, the subcommittee considered each application, and top consideration was given based on the following eligibility requirements:
• Applicants must provide essential safety net services. Basic needs include support (food, housing, clothing), job-related support, childcare, after school care, help accessing public benefits and health / mental health support.
• Applicants must be formally incorporated nonprofit entities based in Half Moon Bay, or provide services throughout San Mateo County and can demonstrate they are serving individuals who live or work in the City of Half Moon Bay • Top consideration will be given to applicants who:
o Demonstrate how program services will be coordinated, integrated, and leveraged among other relevant nonprofit safety net services. o Incorporate culturally competent services in language spoken by members of the community who may be hard to reach due to stigma, isolation, etc. o Incorporate innovative approaches and best practices in the delivery of services and programs.
o If funded in FY 2022-23, demonstrate benefits gained by participating in the cohort and commitment to continued participation in the cohort. 45

DISCUSSION:

Recommendations for FY 2023-24:

For FY 2023-24, the Subcommittee recommends continuation of the CSFA grant program at a funding amount of $300,000, with amounts of up to $50,000 per applicant, and that funding be made exclusively available to organizations/programs providing essential safety net services to the residents of Half Moon Bay.

The Subcommittee also recommends continuation of the cohort. The purpose of the cohort model is to encourage an integrated approach among safety net service providers, exchange best practices and discuss challenges in an open and supportive peer learning environment, encourage collaboration in ways of joint grant applications, client referrals and warm hand offs.

Inspired by successes from the FY 2022-23 pilot, some grantees, including Boys and Girls Club of the Coastside, are in the process of bringing the cohort model to other stakeholder convenings.

We also hope to see the non-profits directly lead the cohort in future years.

After thorough review and consideration, the subcommittee recommends the following funding allocations for FY 2023-24:

*The Subcommittee supports the important mental health services proposed by ALAS, but shared concerns about the cost of each session. The Subcommittee has made a tentative recommendation for a funding allocation to ALAS of $35,000, but desires a lower cost per session charged to the grant, resulting in a higher number of sessions offered. Staff has been researching comparable mental health counseling costs and working with ALAS to seek an acceptable rate. More details will be shared during the staff presentation.

Once final Council direction on the subcommittee recommendations has been provided, staff will work with the selected agencies to finalize grant agreements, which will detail specific objectives to be achieved with the use of these funds. Further, agencies will be required to have consistent executive leadership staff participate in cohort convenings to encourage an integrated and collaborative approach among safety net service providers, and to engage in peer learning, and receive technical assistance as a group based on an area of priority of their choosing. Grant recipients will be required to submit a mid-year report in January of 2024. An end of year financial statement will also be required in July 2024.

FROM: Jessica Blair, Communications Director / City Clerk TITLE: LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY UPDATE
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:

Receive an update from Townsend Public Affairs, Inc. on legislative advocacy services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this update.

STRATEGIC ELEMENT:

This action supports all elements of the Strategic Plan.

DISCUSSION:

Since 2018, the City has contracted with Townsend Public Affairs for legislative advocacy services at both state and federal levels. Over the course of the City’s contracts with Townsend, they and staff have managed the City’s Legislative Committee and the adoption of a Legislative Platform each year.

During the legislative session, numerous positions are taken on bills of interest to the City and in line with the adopted platform. Additionally, Townsend provides advocacy services with the City’s legislators and helps coordinate communication and meetings as needed. In addition, weekly and monthly updates are sent to the City, and occasionally, Townsend will appear before the Council to provide updates mid-session.

These updates before the Council give the entire Council an opportunity to ask questions and weigh-in on bills of interest outside of the role of the two-member appointed Legislative Subcommittee.

STRATEGIC ELEMENT:

This recommendation supports the Healthy Communities and Public Safety and Inclusive Governance Elements of the Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND:

On January 23, 2023, the Coastside community was traumatized by a mass shooting event that occurred at two locations in Half Moon Bay and the adjacent unincorporated San Mateo County. The shooter killed seven people, critically injured one person, and caused psychological trauma to the dozens of other people present, including children. The victims were all Mandarin and Spanish-speaking farmworkers, and close to forty individuals across twenty households were displaced by the event. Those workers and families have been unable to return to their former homes, as the incident also exposed the deplorable housing conditions that existed at the two farms.

In the six months since this tragedy, City and County staff, the Coastside’s unfailing non-profits, and committed community volunteers have poured their time, energy, and resources into supporting families of the victims, the displaced workers and families, and all those impacted by an event we never would have expected would come to our community. 58

DISCUSSION:

Recovery efforts have included the following:
• Financial Support – The national news coverage and local media frenzy in the immediate days following the shooting created a groundswell of public interest and concern, which helped generate over $700,000 in donations to well-respected, local non-profits who were critical in serving the intensive need for immediate resources for the displaced households and families of the victims. Following best practices, the City worked with a local community foundation and the community fund and launched a centralized victims’ fund focused on the longer-term needs of the victims, where 100- percent of the donations received go directly to the victims with no fee and regardless of citizenship status. The Coastside Victims Fund has raised nearly $200,000. • Psychological Support and Case Management – Every victim’s family and those displaced by the event have a victim’s advocate or case manager assisting with the coordination of mental health services if desired, access to legal aid, and public benefits assistance. These services are provided by the County and local/regional non-profits. • Farmworker Housing Safety and Code Enforcement – Immediately following the shootings, City and County staff coordinated site inspections resulting in Notices of Violation at both shooting locations. In February, the County initiated the San Mateo County Farmworker Safety Task Force, which is focused on improving living conditions at all farm-labor housing sites throughout the County. The task force is working to ensure compliance with local and state regulations that affect the health and safety of farmworkers and their families living in employer-providing housing. City staff are well represented at task force meetings and have provided the County with an inventory of all the properties in the City limits in agricultural or related use (e.g., equestrian uses) and indicated where farmworker or other housing is, or may be, located. The Task force is currently inspecting properties in the unincorporated communities as well as in the City in coordination with Staff.
• Short and Long-Term Housing – A coalition of government and non-profit staff have worked tirelessly since the shootings to ensure that each displaced worker and family has had a safe and comfortable place to live. The County has expended considerable funding to place each household in temporary housing until longer term arrangements can be made. Additionally, the City and County, with support from our State and Federal representatives, have been working to identify opportunities to create additional affordable housing, both for the displaced households, as well as other low-income individuals and families that struggle to live on the Coast. • Farmworker Memorial – City staff have begun planning for a memorial to honor the victims of the shootings, as well as the many farmworkers that provide healthy food and produce to our community, and people throughout the world. The development of this 59

memorial will include a robust public process, to ensure those honored by the memorial will have a voice in its design and location.

These are just a few examples of the important efforts underway to assist our community in ongoing healing and recovery. Staff will continue to provide updates to the Council and community on specific projects related to recovery from this tragedy, and an overall update in January of 2024.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY

AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: July 18, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: John Doughty, Assistant City Manager
Jill Ekas, Community Development Director
TITLE: MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH SAN MATEO COUNTY--880 STONE

PINE ROAD
______________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution:
1) Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (Exhibit A to the Resolution) with San Mateo County affirming general terms and processes for refinance of the City’s loan with California IBank and outlining City and County collaboration on the design and development of an affordable housing project of up to 50 manufactured homes at 880 Stone Pine Road; and
2) Authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute agreements identified in the MOU to formally initiate early pay-off of IBank Loan with a target closing date of October 1, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City’s IBank loan initially included $2.1 million toward land acquisition and $1.1 million toward construction of the City Corporation Yard. The total balance to be re-financed is $3.2 million including remaining principle, accrued interest and early payoff fees.

Current annual debt service for the property is approximately $164,000 over a 30-year period.

The County is offering a 10-year fixed rate loan with annual debt service not to exceed $270,000. Interest savings with the refinance and 10-year term equates to approximately $1 million.

STRATEGIC ELEMENT:

This recommendation supports all elements of the Strategic Plan.

CONTEXT
In the aftermath of the January 23, 2023, mass shooting incident in Half Moon Bay and in adjacent unincorporated San Mateo County, the City and County conducted inspections of the 61

two farms where the shootings took place and discovered substandard housing conditions at both sites. The City and County “red-tagged” all units which precluded re-habitation by nineteen households (forty individuals). For many of the survivors, the sites remain a traumatizing reminder of that day.

As a result of the incident, San Mateo County with assistance from the City and local nonprofits, successfully found temporary housing for the displaced households. Temporary housing is costly and is just that, “temporary”. The market-rate leases for the temporary housing will be ending in Mid-2024. Both the City and County desire to find permanent, affordable housing for these households and for other low-income households on the Coastside.

In the aftermath, the City and County have worked diligently to identify appropriate locations for affordable housing and to solicit funding in hopes of providing permanent, safe, and affordable replacement housing for the shooting displacees. The City’s efforts included review of opportunity sites identified in the Draft Housing Element and seeking financial assistance from the State and Federal governments as well as philanthropic sources. Recently, we were informed that through the efforts of State Senator Becker and Assemblymember Berman, funds are currently programmed in the State budget to assist with affordable housing planning on the Coastside. Simultaneously, the County has and continues to look at options including Coastside farms themselves and to also seek funding assistance. Recently, the County learned that it had been awarded a $5 million grant under the Joe Serna Program administered by the State of California.

Ultimately, 880 Stone Pine Road (“Property”) became an obvious consideration given its proximity to downtown, schools, shopping, and services. Additionally, the Property was the only feasible site under ownership of a public agency (City). Initial conversations led to conceptualization of a neighborhood which would offer detached single-family homes of varying sizes, with an emphasis on homeownership. It was determined, based upon massing studies, that the site could likely accommodate up to 50 manufactured housing units.

In June, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors allocated $1 million toward the design of the proposed neighborhood at the Property (“Project”). The Joe Serna Grant provides funding to purchase and install up to 28 manufactured homes for farmworkers, ostensibly for establishment of a new residential community at the Property.

We have reached a point at which the City Council and Board of Supervisors need to formalize their cooperation and collaboration toward providing affordable housing at the Property. It was agreed upon by staff that a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is the best means to reach consensus on the various steps.

BACKGROUND:
880 Stone Pine Road-Acquisition
Over the last two decades, the City has utilized the Property for its Public Works Corporation Yard. In 2019, the previous owner of the Property, Peninsula Open Space Trust, gave notice to 62

the City of its intent to sell and offered first right of refusal to the City. The site was critical to the City as its Corporation Yard, as the City had previously searched for alternate sites for the facility to no avail.

On March 3, 2020, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) to acquire the Property with the express intention to facilitate creation of an expanded and ADA compliant Corporation Yard / Operations Center. The City Council directed staff to determine suitable funding options for the purchase and improvement of the property which resulted in the recommendation to seek funding through the State’s Infrastructure Bank (“IBank”). In May 2021, the City finalized the $3.2 million loan from Bank the for the Stone Pine property and began the process of property entitlements.

The IBank loan required certain milestones that the City has now met, and the City is paying approximately $164,000 per year in debt service on a 30-year term. The loan agreement, because of the funding source, precludes housing development on the acquired land. 880 Stone Pine Road—Corporation Yard Entitlement and Development On April 19, 2022, the City received its Coastal Development Permit (CDP) for the Corporation Yard / Operations Center which includes improvements on approximately four acres of the Property, plus driveway access to Stone Pine Road. Work on the City Corporation Yard is nearing completion. This work includes site specific grading, access improvements, stormwater control, and security improvements. Site work includes construction of a paved access drive from Stone Pine Road and property-wide environmental mitigation. The CEQA process itself included assessment and mitigation for potential environmental impacts property-wide including, but not limited to biotic, cultural resources, and hazardous materials. This work was partially funded by the $1.1 million portion of the IBank loan that was beyond the land purchase price.
880 Stone Pine Road—Housing Element Opportunity Site
At the time of acquisition, the City Council indicated a desire to evaluate the possibilities of creating affordable housing on the remaining portion of the Property. Staff committed to evaluation of the site as a potential affordable housing opportunity in concert with the preparation of the City’s State mandated Housing Element.

The City released the Housing Element First Public Review Draft on April 17, 2023, which commenced a 30-day public comment period to collect responses and perform additional outreach. The Planning Commission and City Council held a joint public hearing on May 9, 2023.

As part of this process, the City completed an inventory of potential housing sites and conducted general constraints assessments of many parcels. Based on many factors, the western portion of the Property has been included in the City’s Draft Housing Element as an Opportunity Site.

The Draft Housing Element was submitted on May 31, 2023, to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) per State law.
63

Community Outreach Efforts
On April 17, 2023, City staff met with residents of the Cypress Cove Townhome Community, which is adjacent to the Property. The meeting was held to solicit input on the potential placement of housing on the remainder portion of the Property. Approximately 50 residents attended and provided comments. A majority of residents identified concerns which included:
1) reduced property values; 2) traffic impacts; 3) noise impacts; and 4) visual impacts. Staff committed to researching and addressing these concerns, including obtaining a Traffic Study on the Project’s impact on Stone Pine Road.

On May 8, 2023, the City held a general community meeting to discuss the potential creation of affordable housing on the Property. Approximately 150 individuals attended this event. Local elected officials attended, including the Mayor, Vice Mayor, and County Supervisor Ray Mueller. Comments and opinions from the community attendees were widely varied. Many raised some of the same concerns noted in the neighborhood meeting.

The City and County are currently planning to hold a second community meeting on August 17, 2023. More information will be provided verbally at the July 18th City Council meeting. The City will be releasing the completed Traffic Study and other documents and plans in advance of the community meeting.

DISCUSSION:

As indicated previously, the City acquired 880 Stone Pine Road in 2021 with financing from the California IBank. The loan proceeds provided for purchase of the Property from the Peninsula Open Space Trust for $2.1 million and an additional $1.1 million for a portion of the construction of the City’s Corporation Yard. IBank was chosen at the time for the favorable finance terms including interest rate (2.5%) and 30-year term. The loan terms included the City’s commitment to construct Phase 1 of the Corporation Yard, a condition now considered met by the IBank.

IBank loan security conditions preclude early payoff and development of housing on the site.

The loan conditions were deemed acceptable at the time as the City was in the very early stages of site assessments. Additionally, the CDP process and CEQA review for the Corporation Yard provided greater clarity as to the physical and environmental constraints on the roughly eight total acres of buildable area; four of which the Corporation Yard is currently occupying. As was noted earlier, based upon the more detailed evaluation and environmental mitigation, the City identified 880 Stone Pine as an “opportunity site” consistent with State housing goals and expressed needs of the community.

City staff has met with representatives of IBank and they have indicated that their Board will support the early payoff of the loan given the stated purpose of the payoff to: 1) address emergency needs of those displaced by the January 23rd incident; and 2) facilitate the potential development of critical affordable housing on the site. The City Council recently adopted a balanced FY 2023-24 City Operations Budget. Budget projections for the coming years are murky at best and we anticipate the likelihood of some belt tightening in the next fiscal year. In 64

light of these budgetary constraints, which don’t allow for the City to immediately payoff the IBank loan in cash, the County of San Mateo has offered to assist, offering fair loan terms (10- years at 3.2%) with the option to refinance over the next 6-8 months should the LAIF rates (the County’s investment pool) drop. Additionally, the County has agreed, in principle, to purchase approximately four acres of the site on which the affordable housing would be built, which will further reduce the City’s annual debt service costs. The increased interest rate (from 2.5% to

3.2%) and reduced term (from 30 to 10 years) will increase annual debt service costs by approximately $106,000, but ultimately will result in the savings of approximately $1 million in interest payments.

The draft MOU is included as Exhibit A to the City’s Resolution. The MOU outlines the responsibilities and obligations of the City and County related to the planning, construction, and long-term management of an affordable housing development. It also provides a framework for the re-financing of 880 Stone Pine Road, providing the opportunity to consider the site for housing to serve extremely low-income households. The refinance process includes two main steps. Step one is an initial loan of $3.2 million to the City (collateralized by the Library property), which in turn will be used to payoff of the IBank loan. Step two, which is anticipated to occur in early-2024, includes the sale of the four-acre housing site to the County, and the refinance of the City’s loan, less the proceeds of the sale and potential reduction in interest rate (as described above). More specific terms of the loan are outlined in Attachment 2 to this report.

As was noted previously, the County will allow the City to collateralize its equity in the Half Moon Bay Library through a Lease-Leaseback Agreement, which will apply throughout the initial and the subsequent loan. The City Attorney’s Office has participated in the negotiations of the MOU and the terms of the Loan and Lease- Leaseback Agreement. The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors are scheduled to consider the documents at their regularly scheduled meeting of July 25, 2023.

CONCLUSION:

The City and County have spent the last several months discussing a path forward to creating an affordable housing community at 880 Stone Pine Road. The County recently hired BKF Engineering to begin work on civil engineering design. BKF has hired local firm Kikuchi + Kankel as the landscape architect. DKS has been hired to complete a traffic analysis and SWCA is scheduled to complete additional cultural resource evaluations on the site. All of these efforts are leading to the next community meeting in August and consideration of potential next steps. The proposed MOU provides a transparency to the transaction process and outlines a clear path forward should the County choose to pursue development of affordable housing on 880 Stone Pine Road.

The Parties agree that they will cooperate to ensure that prior to the County’s use of funds under the Serna Grant to finance the acquisition of manufactured housing, such housing either is already installed in a location where it will be occupied by the eligible household or that a location has been leased or otherwise made available for the manufactured housing to be occupied by an eligible household.
e. Without limiting their rights to terminate under Section 2 herein above, the Parties agree to meet and confer in good faith to renegotiate the terms of this MOU in the event that the lease/leaseback agreements are not consummated, the iBank Loan is not discharged, or the affordable housing development at the Site does not move forward or is determined infeasible for any reason, including, but not limited to, regulatory, environmental, legal, financial or other impediments.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY

AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: July 18, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Lisa Lopez Rossi, Interim Assistant City Manager
Edward Behle, Recreation Supervisor
TITLE: ART DONATION—1,000 CRANES
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution:
1) Accepting the donation of 1,000 Cranes created by the San Mateo Organization of Chinese Americans (OCA) and Self Help for the Elderly upon execution of the City’s standard Public Art Agreement; and
2) Affirming the placement of the sculptures at the Half Moon Bay Public Library; and 3) Authorizing Public Works staff to develop a plan for installation.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact in accepting this donation.

STRATEGIC ELEMENT:

This action supports the Healthy Communities and Public Safety element of the Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND:

The 1,000 (origami) Cranes were popularized through the story of Sadako Sasaki, a Japanese girl who was two years old when she was exposed to radiation from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during World War II and soon developed leukemia. At age 12, inspired by the Senbazuru legend, she began making origami cranes with the goal of making 1,000, hoping that she would get well again. According to this legend, the person who can accomplish this will have their wish granted. Unfortunately, Sadako died shortly after folding the last crane, and her story spread across the world. Today, this ancient Japanese practice has spread around the world, embodying faith, hope, and peace.

In February 2023, the City was contacted by Aimee Yan, President of the Organization of Chinese Americans (OCA), San Mateo Chapter. Ms. Yan stated that their organization in partnership with the Self-Help for the Elderly were creating an intergenerational art piece titled “Thousand Cranes” and would like to donate it to the City of Half Moon Bay. The gesture, Ms. 76

Yan shared was to memorialize and honor the victims of the January shooting which took place in Half Moon Bay with this traditional sign of peace.

The construction of the origami cranes was held at the Central Park Community Center in San Mateo on June 17, 2023, and included 75 people of all ages including local high schoolers, seniors, and the general public. The group spent the morning and afternoon folding 1,000 origami paper cranes of various patterns, colors, and sizes with paper that had been donated to the community specifically for the project. An additional group of volunteers came together on July 9, 2023, to string the cranes at Fire Station #1 in Menlo Park. The 1,000 Cranes is now ready for display.

DISCUSSION:

The project was introduced to the Recreation Commission on May 24, 2023. The Commissioners recommended approval of the donation with the suggestion to place it at the HMB Library. It was also suggested that the background of the 1,000 Cranes and the process in which it was constructed be documented and included with the piece.

City staff met with Ms. Yan and her team to discuss the best location in the library to hang the project, which will include as suggested informational boards detailing the history of 1,000 cranes and providing recognition to the volunteers who worked on the project. After some preliminary discussion, a few areas were identified. Staff will continue to work with library and public works staff on final placement.

The proposed donation of 1,000 Cranes Art Project is yet another example of how the community beyond Half Moon Bay came together to support everyone impacted by this tragic event.
