TITLE: RESOLUTION IN OPPOSITION TO OFFSHORE DRILLING ACTIVITES AND
EXPANSION OF OFFSHORE DRILLING IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution in opposition to offshore drilling activities and expansion of offshore drilling in the Pacific Ocean.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Infrastructure and Environment Element of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
Offshore drilling carries countless devasting negative effects of oil and gas development on frontline communities. This drilling pollutes our air with toxic emissions that are known to cause asthma, lung cancer, and other diseases.
In 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster killed 11 people and resulted in more than 200 million gallons of oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico. Oil from the spill tarred hundreds of miles of Gulf Coast shoreline stretching from Texas to Florida and devastated coastal economies.
Losses to the seafood industry alone were estimated at nearly $1 billion. The disaster had deadly impacts for dolphins, whales, sea turtles, and more.
DISCUSSION:
An analysis by Oceana found that protecting all unleased federal waters from offshore drilling in the United States could prevent over 19 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions. That is the equivalent of taking every car in the nation off the road for 15 years and ending new leasing could prevent more than $720 billion in damages to people, property, and the environment.
Oil companies have stockpiled more than 8 million acres of the ocean for future drilling - more than 75% of the total leased acreage of public waters. Preventing new offshore drilling will 110
protect coastal communities from devastating pollution, support healthy marine ecosystems, safeguard ocean wildlife, and encourage a clean energy future.
At the federal level, no new offshore leasing has been permitted in federal waters since 1984.
However, the Trump administration released a five-year offshore leasing plan in 2018 that proposed opening up the entire West Coast to new drilling despite widespread opposition in Pacific Coast states. That proposal was blocked by courts, but the threat of drilling remains as no permanent ban is enacted at the federal level. At the start of the 118th Congress, Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congressman Jared Huffman (CA-02) introduced the West Coast Ocean Protection Act.
This measure would permanently ban oil and gas drilling in federal waters off the coast of California, Oregon, and Washington.
Given the current make-up of congress it is unlikely this particular measure will move forward in the House as written, however, this is a measure that Congressman Huffman will continue to introduce and push for in future legislative sessions.
The bill is co-sponsored by:
Representatives
• Nanette Diaz Barragán (CA-44)
• Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01)
• Julia Brownley (CA-26)
• Ed Case (HI-01),
• Judy Chu (CA-28),

• Cory Booker (D-N.J.),
• Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.)

TITLE: FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF THE 2023 STREET MAINTENANCE PROJECT (CIP NO. 0514)
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or his designee to file a Notice of Completion, release the Performance and Labor and Materials Bonds, start the one-year warranty bond period, and release the retention funds thirty days after recordation of the Notice of Completion for the 2023 Street Maintenance Project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The approved contract award was $281,177 with an additional $42,176 (15%) in contingency funding, totaling an authorized amount of $323,353 for the project. The total cost of the construction of the project was $290,817.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Infrastructure and Environment and Healthy Communities and Public Safety Elements of the adopted Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
On April 18, 2023, by Resolution C-2023-25, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Dryco Construction, Inc. of Fremont, California, in the amount of $281,177, including $42,176.55 for contingencies, totaling a construction budget amount of $323,353.55, for the 2023 Street Maintenance Project.
The 2023 Street Maintenance Project scope consisted of performing “dig-out” base repairs, surface milling, asphalt concrete overlay, slurry sealing, traffic markings, traffic striping, and other related work on the following streets:
• Jenna Lane between Pine Avenue and Kelly Avenue
• Arleta Way between Grove Street and Magnolia Street
115
• Alsace Lorraine Avenue/First Avenue between Granelli Avenue to Filbert Street • Second Avenue between Metzgar Street and Grove Street Staff also requested Dryco Construction to restripe the lines and numbers at the Poplar Beach Parking Lot, to which the additional work has been completed and funded through the allocated contingency.
In addition to this project, Dryco Construction is also under a separate contract completing the Main Street project, which consists of a slurry seal of Main Street from Highway 1 to Mill Street, then wrapping around Johnston Street to Correas Street to complete the bike connection to the HMB Library. That project is nearing completion and will be presented to the Council for final acceptance in a future meeting.
DISCUSSION:
This project is now complete, and the total cost of construction was $290,817. 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 warranty bond, and release the retention funds thirty (30) days after recordation of the Notice of Completion for the 2023 Street Maintenance Project.

FROM: Jill Ekas, Community Development Director
Benjamin Corrales, Permit Technician
Veronika Vostinak, Public Works Program Manager
TITLE: ADOPTION OF ADDITIONAL FINDINGS TO JUSTIFY LOCAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE 2022 CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution making the additional required findings justifying the City’s modifications to the 2022 California Building Standards Code.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action. Building Division staff have attended training sessions to prepare for implementation of the updated building standards. The training expenses are covered by the Community Development and Public Works department budgets.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
The resolution making findings of local necessity in support of local modifications to the state Building Standards Code supports all of the strategic elements: Infrastructure and Environment, Healthy Communities and Public Safety, Fiscal Sustainability, and Inclusive Governance.
BACKGROUND:
The State’s Health and Safety Code (Section 17958) mandates that the California Building Standards Commission adopt and publish the California Building Standards Code, Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations (CBSC), every three years. Further, each City and County is required to adopt the new codes and to formally notify the CSBC of its intention to adopt local modifications to the Codes.
State law requires that all local amendments to building standards in the CBSC be filed with the California Building Standards Commission. When filed, the amendments must be accompanied by findings identifying the local climatic, geological, topographical, or environmental conditions necessitating the changes.
118
At the December 20, 2022, meeting, the City Council passed Resolution No. C-2022-117 and Ordinance No. C-2022-05 to adopt the 2022 CBSC with local amendments. As required by Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7, Resolution No. C-2022-117 made findings of local necessity for amendments to these codes. However, following its receipt of Ordinance No. C-2022-05 and Resolution No. C-2022-117, the California Building Standards Commission advised that findings specifically related to five modifications to the CBSC had been omitted.
These five modifications involve the adoption of appendices to the California Building and Residential Codes, Parts 2 and 2.5 of Title 24, respectively. These appendices are optional unless adopted by a state agency or the local adopting agency. In particular, Section 1.1.4 of Parts 2 and
2.5 states that “Provisions contained in the appendices of this code shall not apply unless specifically adopted by a state agency or adopted by a local enforcing agency in compliance with Health and Safety Code Section 18901 et seq. for Building Standards Law, Health and Safety Code Section 17950 for State Housing Law and Health and Safety Code Section 13869.7 for Fire Protection Districts.” Accordingly, in order to adopt the optional appendices in the Building and Residential Codes, the City must follow the requirements of Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5 and 18941.5 by making findings of local necessity for the adoption.
The purpose of this action is to adopt the findings of local necessity that were previously inadvertently omitted from Resolution No. C-2022-117. After adopting these findings, the City will submit these findings to the California Building Standards Commission for its review and acceptance.
Findings of Local Necessity
As shown in Attachment A to the proposed resolution, the City of Half Moon Bay experiences the following local climatic, topographical, and geological conditions that justify the local modifications to the CBSC:
Climatic: The City is located on a coastal plain and as such is affected greatly by ocean changes.
High winds are a factor in design considerations with expected three second gusts in excess of 90 miles per hour. Conditions are such as to require additional structural provisions for wind loading as well as provisions for electrical utility undergrounding. The City has an average annual rainfall of 27 inches and all storm water flows to the ocean. It is therefore necessary that the City provide special provisions to protect the environment, public safety, and comply with the regional storm water permit.
The City is situated along the Pacific Coastline and the potential impacts of sea level rise are anticipated to increase the City’s exposure to shoreline hazards. Human activities releasing greenhouse gas into the atmosphere that cause increases in rising sea levels are likely to affect the amount of area in the City at risk of coastal flooding, the rate of erosion along the shoreline and bluffs, the area of the City’s tsunami inundation zone, and potential seawater intrusion into riparian systems and groundwater supplies. Loss of shoreline due to rising waters may also threaten the stability of coastal habitats, recreation areas, public access, and infrastructure. 119
Vehicular traffic through Half Moon Bay is significant and continues to increase as Half Moon Bay is a tourism destination as well as the location of residential projects. The observed increase in plug-in electric vehicle adoption reduces the climate impact of vehicular greenhouse gas emissions.
Topographical: The City has many areas that are in the Tsunami Inundation Area and is also bordered by wildland areas. These conditions require the City to take the necessary precautions to protect the public from likely events of floods or wildland urban interface fires. In addition, the area has a highly expansive clay type soil that requires modifications to foundation and drainage design. Some areas of the City have a high water-table and necessitate special drainage considerationsto protect facilitiesfrom flooding as well as providing forstorm waterrunoff to the ocean.
Geological: The City is located in seismic Zone D. The San Andreas Fault, as well as faults that are not fully charted, affect the seismicity risks of the City. In the event of a major earthquake the City would in all likelihood be cut off from the rest of the Peninsula Cities. It is deemed reasonable that provisions be made to assure that the most conservative measures are designed into structuresto protectthe facilities, both residential and commercial,to provide time for emergency personnel and equipment to reach the coast and provide assistance.
Attachment A to the proposed resolution, the Findings Regarding the Need for Amendments to Provisions in the 2022 California Building Standards Code to be Adopted by Reference in the City Code for the City of Half Moon Bay, explains which of these local conditions justifies the adoption of each of the optional appendices.
Conclusion
Staff recommends that City Council adopt the resolution making the findings of local necessity that were previously inadvertently omitted from Resolution No. C-2022-117.

RESOLUTION NO. C-2023-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY ADOPTING FINDINGS
OF LOCAL NECESSITY REGARDING THE NEED FOR LOCAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE 2022 CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE
WHEREAS, The State of California has adopted the 2022 edition of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, also known as the California Building Standards Code (CBSC), containing construction standards applicable to local jurisdictions throughout the State including the City of Half Moon Bay ("City"); and
WHEREAS, when reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions, Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5 and 18941.5 authorize local jurisdictions to establish more restrictive building standards than those set forth in the CBSC; and WHEREAS, before making local modifications to the CBSC, Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5 and 18941.5 require the local jurisdiction to make express findings that such changes are reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and WHEREAS, under Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7, modifications pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5 may not become effective until the required findings and modifications have been filed with the California Building Standards Commission; and WHEREAS, on December 20, 2022, the City Council of the City adopted an ordinance adopting by reference certain provisions of the CBSC and making modifications to certain of those provisions pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5 (“Ordinance No. C-2022-05”); and
WHEREAS, at the December 20, 2022, meeting, the City Council also adopted Resolution No. C2022-117, which accompanied Ordinance No. C-2022-05 and made required findings of local necessity for the modifications to the CBSC but inadvertently omitted certain findings of necessity for five such modifications; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed Attachment A, the Findings Regarding the Need for Amendments to Provisions in the 2022 California Building Standards Code to be Adopted by Reference in the City Code for the City of Half Moon Bay, which sets forth the five previously omitted local justifications for the proposed modifications to the CBSC contained in Ordinance No. C-2022-05.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby declare and find that the changes to the provisions of the CBSC set forth in Ordinance No. C-2022-05 are reasonably necessary because of the local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions set forth in Attachment A in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7; and 121
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution, including the Findings of Local Necessity (Attachment A), shall be filed with the California Building Standards Commission in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution is not a project under the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, together with related State CEQA Guidelines (collectively, “CEQA”) because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment. In the event that this Resolution is found to be a project under CEQA, it is subject to the CEQA exemption contained in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty to have no possibility that the action approved may have a significant effect on the environment. CEQA applies only to actions which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. In this circumstance, the proposed action would have no or only a de minimis effect on the environment. The Resolution is also exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines section 15308, because it is a regulatory action for the protection of the environment. The foregoing determination is made by the City Council in its independent judgment. ***************************************************************** I, the undersigned, hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly passed and adopted on the 5th day of September 2023 by the City Council of Half Moon Bay by the following vote:

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: September 5, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Lisa Lopez Rossi, Administrative Services Director TITLE: SIDE LETTER BETWEEN THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY AND THE REPRESENTED
MANAGEMENT TEAM TO ADD A CLASSIFICATION AND SPECIALIZED LICENSE
PAY TO MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Side Letter between the City of Half Moon Bay and the Represented Management Team to add a classification and specialized license pay to the Memorandum of Understanding.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The annual cost for the specialized license pay for FY 2023-24 will be $12,512. Funding for the new classification/position was included in the Adopted Budget for FY 2023-24.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This recommendation supports the Infrastructure and Environment Element of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
On August 17, 2021, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Represented Management Team (RMT) for agreements effective from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2026. MOU terms include a description of classifications represented by each labor group and salaries paid to each group’s respective classifications. Since the MOU went into effect, staff, representatives from RMT, and the City Council have approved the modification and addition of classifications for RMT employee groups as follows:
• Public Works Supervisor - In June 2023, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2023- 2024 budget that included the addition of two Public Works Supervisor positions to support the Public Works Maintenance and Engineering Divisions and the classification modification effective July 1, 2023.
125
DISCUSSION:
In July 2023, RMT requested the City memorialize the classification modifications and additions made through a Side Letter Agreement. The purpose of this Side Letter is to memorialize previously negotiated classification modifications and additions as follows:
1. Public Works Supervisor
a. Effective July 1, 2023, the position was added to the classification plan. b. MOU Section 2.1 is amended to include these positions as positions represented by Represented Management Team Members.
c. Add Specialized License Pay: Subject to City Council approval, a ten percent (10%) wage differential, based on base pay, shall be provided for holding and maintaining an Inspector License for the classification of Public Works Supervisor.
Having a licensed inspector on staff is important to the continuity of City operations and is reflected in the 10% premium for having this licensing. There are instances when contract inspection staff are either unavailable or have multiple inspections on the same day that take up considerable amounts of time. Additionally, the contract inspector typically does not conduct inspections on Fridays. The Public Works Supervisor, when properly licensed, can assist with these vital inspections when time allows, ensuring these inspections occur in a timely manner.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: September 5, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: John Doughty, Assistant City Manager
TITLE: PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE
DISTRICT
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Partnership Agreement (Exhibit A to the Resolution) with Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District affirming general terms and processes for partnering on the planning, design, environmental review and permitting at the Johnston House/Train Depot Site.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with adoption of the Partnership Agreement (MOA). The Agreement commits the City to begin work on planning of the Johnston House Park with an anticipated start date of no earlier than July 1, 2024. This date coincides with the beginning of the FY 2024-25 Capital Budget. Phase 1 of the project will need to be added to the FY 2024-25 to FY 2027-28 Capital Improvement Program in conjunction with the normal City Operating Budget process.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This recommendation supports the Infrastructure and Inclusive Governance Elements of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
In January 2019, the City adopted a Parks Master Plan for the entire City park network. The Plan recommends the evaluation of potential improvements to the Johnston House/Train Depot property during a focused master planning process, keeping in mind the importance of the historic and iconic Johnston House and adjacent farmlands. The Parks Master Plan did not commit to specific improvements, leaving the identification of possibilities to the master planning and community outreach process. The Johnston House/Train Depot property is located outside City limits and is subject to permitting by San Mateo County. 129
Following adoption of the Parks Master Plan, the District and City signed a partnership Letter of Intent (Attachment 3: Letter of Intent) in October 2019 to identify areas for collaboration and support at the City’s Johnston House and the District’s adjoining Johnston Ranch Uplands.
The Letter of Intent expresses District support of the City’s planned public use efforts for the Johnston House and an intention to collaborate and partner on trail planning, shared use, and funding of an expanded parking area and trailhead at the Park.
In November 2021, the District Board of Directors (Board) authorized the purchase of the Johnston Ranch Uplands property and adopted a Preliminary Use and Management Plan for the property that includes direction to develop a partnership agreement with the City to memorialize the Letter of Intent.
Over the course of the last several years, the City has sought to formalize a licensing agreement with the Johnston House Foundation for use and operation of the Johnston House for community and visitor benefit. The pandemic interrupted the negotiation efforts and limited the use of the facility which are only presently beginning to commence. The City and Johnston House Foundation have re-engaged in negotiations on a short-term (3 year) agreement. In addition to formalizing the Foundation’s terms of use of the Johnston House, a short-term agreement would also clarify roles and responsibilities and provide the Foundation with the opportunity to actively engage in the master planning process. There is potential to integrate planned improvements to facilities and programming provided by the Foundation while also facilitating communication between stakeholders as part of the broader master planning of the site.
Over the last eighteen months, City and District staff have been working on developing a Partnership Agreement for presentation to both the City Council and MPROSD Board of Directors. The concept was presented and supported by the City’s Parks and Recreation Commission.
On July 10, 2021, a Public Trail Easement was recorded providing an opportunity to develop an off-street path/trail from the intersection of Main Street/Higgins Canyon Road to the Johnston House/Train Depot property.
On July 26, 2023, the MPROSD Board of Directors authorized their General Manager to execute the Partnership Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
Beginning in fiscal year FY 2024-25, the City of Half Moon Bay (City) anticipates initiating a master planning effort for the Johnston House/Train Depot property consistent with the City Council adopted Parks Master Plan. Phase 1 work will include planning, conceptual level design, environmental planning covering the Johnston House/Train Depot area, the proposed extension of a pathway from the property westerly to Main Street, and an adjacent loop trail proposed by MPROSD. The work is anticipated to culminate in application and approval of a Coastal Development Permit from San Mateo County.
130
The Partnership Agreement provides the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (District) and City the opportunity to evaluate collocation of parking and establish a trailhead at the Johnston House/Train Depot to serve both the Park and the future trail network that will be located at the Johnston Ranch Uplands area of Miramontes Ridge Open Space Preserve. Per the proposed Partnership Agreement (Agreement), the City would lead the Planning Phase with District technical support and review, and the District would reimburse the City for onehalf (50%) of the consultant costs up to an amount not-to-exceed $350,000. The Agreement describes the various roles, responsibilities, and expectations during the Planning. As indicated previously, the master planning effort provides an opportunity for the Johnston House Foundation to communicate their vision and financial plans for the Johnston House.
Proposed terms of the Partnership Agreement between the District and the City include the following:
• The City will be responsible for the planning, environmental review, design, and permitting activities for the parking area and trailhead on the Johnston House property.
• The City will comply with all applicable federal, state, and local codes, laws, and regulations, as well as the California Environmental Quality Act. • The District will reimburse the City for one-half of the project costs for the Planning Phase in an amount not to exceed $350,000. This amount reflects the City’s total cost estimate of $700,000 for the Planning Phase, which is based on costs of their recent Smith Field Park project and similar efforts. • The District will provide the City with a proposed loop trail alignment on the Johnston Ranch Uplands that will connect to the proposed parking area and trailhead on the Johnston House property.
• The District and City will collaborate on the consultant selection process and review of documents prepared by the consultant(s).
• The District and City will explore, identify, and apply for grant opportunities as co- applicants with assistance of the District’s Grants Program staff. • The City will transfer an easement to the District for use, patrol, and maintenance of the proposed parking area and trailhead at the Johnston House once a location and preliminary design for the parking area and trailhead is identified during the Planning Phase.
Following issuance of a Coastal Development Permit (completion of the Planning Phase) the District and City intend to pursue a subsequent Agreement to address the Construction Phase of the project including details of the scope of the improvements and the contributions 131
for the related construction costs. Under the proposed partnership agreement, City and District staff are authorized to approve technical revisions to the attached Agreement that do not involve any material change to any term of the Agreement.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: September 5, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Karen Decker, Economic and Community Vitality Manager TITLE: OPPORTUNITY CENTER OF THE COASTSIDE--LEASE AGREEMENT FOR 637 MAIN STREET
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to:
1) Execute a Lease Agreement for approximately 3,900 square feet of commercial space located on the first floor of 637 Main Street (Suites A, B and C) effective October 1, 2023, at an initial monthly rate of $11,000, for a term of two years, with the option to extend for an additional three years, to serve as the physical site and support operations of the Opportunity Center of the Coastside (OCC); and
2) Execute a sublease with the Half Moon Bay Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Authority for a portion of the premises to be determined at the same rate per square foot and terms as the Lease Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The lease and annual cost were anticipated as part of the award and execution of the $2.5 million grant from San Mateo County to establish and operate the OCC. Under the lease, the monthly rent will be $11,000 the first year with a 3-percent COLA increase each subsequent year. Rent will be paid from the County grant and the sublease of a portion of the space by the Half Moon Bay Coastside Chamber of Commerce. There is no net fiscal impact to the City for the initial term.
The City and its partners are currently identifying funding opportunities to cover year three of the lease option and beyond.
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 146
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. 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.
Informed by this and other data, the Initiative produced a set of strategic recommendations detailed in a public report, Building a More Equitable, Vibrant and Resilient Coastside Economy.
In response to recommendations in the report and informed by recent success of an economic advancement center in South San Francisco, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors approved a $2.5 million funding allocation to support the creation and operation of the OCC to serve the entire Coastside. Programming will include supportive services for job seekers, small businesses, and entrepreneurs. There is flexibility to add a business incubator, another recommendation from the Coastside Recovery Initiative, as part of the menu of offerings at the OCC. The purpose of the incubator is to harness the Coastside’s unique industries and assets, build entrepreneurship capacity and support business and job growth.
The City of Half Moon Bay and the Half Moon Bay Coastside Chamber of Commerce have been evaluating commercial sites for the OCC. A downtown property located at 637 Main Street was identified as an ideal location easily accessible to public transit lines and highways and near supportive and complementary services such as those offered by the Half Moon Bay Library, City Hall, the College of San Mateo, core nonprofit services, restaurants, and retail. The City Manager and the HMBay Partners II LLC (property owners) signed a Letter of Interest on August 2, 2023. An outline of the terms of a Lease Agreement were reviewed by City Council in closed session on August 15, 2023. Since then, staff and property owners have met to finalize the lease terms.
DISCUSSION:
As noted previously, the City wishes to lease a portion of 637 Main Street to house a new grant funded Opportunity Center of the Coastside. The City intends to sublease a portion of the space to the Half Moon Bay Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce is a partner in the OCC and will provide operational and administrative support to the Center. The building space, while in excellent condition overall, requires modification to meet the needs of the OCC and Chamber of Commerce. Tenant improvements will include modest customization to support the use and flow of OCC services. Additionally, a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) identified several ADA accessibility related modifications which are necessary to be completed in conjunction with the OCC. The terms of the lease are as follows:
• Lease Agreement includes Suites A, B and C (ground floor of 637 Main Street). • Suites A, B and C comprise approximately 3,900 square feet. • The initial term of the lease is two (2) years with an option to extend for an additional three (3) years.
• The lease includes an annual 3-percent COLA adjustment. • Property owner to complete certain baseline condition and ADA access-related improvements at their own cost.
147
• Property owner will provide an allowance of up to $24 thousand towards tenant improvements, including floorplan reconfiguration, access related improvements, and finish upgrades.
• City will pay for any tenant improvements beyond the allowance, as well as furniture and fixtures.
The Half Moon Bay Coastside Chamber of Commerce is poised to sublease the property to operate the Chamber and Visitors’ Bureau in addition to providing the operational and facility support for OCC programming. On-site job seeker and small business development and entrepreneurial support will be delivered by qualified service providers in response to a request for proposals. Costs associated with the staffing, operation, and leasing of the OCC are funded by a grant from the County of San Mateo. Consequently, the OCC is open to Coastsiders within the City limits and beyond.
If approved, staff anticipates the Lease Agreement to be in effect October 1, 2023, with soft programming such as outreach and marketing to begin immediately. Tenant improvements will be phased in to support on-site programming anticipated to being on-site in October. A boilerplate template of the lease template is attached and is currently being negotiated pursuant to the terms and conditions described in this staff report.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: September 5, 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: FUNDING AND CONTRACT APPROVAL FOR THE POPLAR STREET TRAFFIC CALMING AND SAFETY PROJECT – PHASE I (CIP PROJECT NO. 593) ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the following resolutions:
1) Authorize staff to proceed with requesting cost sharing participation by properties having a deferred street agreement adjacent to the project site of Poplar Street between Main Street and Highway 1 including future cost sharing for undeveloped lots. 2) Authorize the City Manager to award and execute a construction contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Half Moon Bay Grading and Paving, Inc., of Half Moon Bay, California in the amount of $1,445,365.87, and approve a construction contingency not exceeding an amount of $216,804.88 (15%) for the Poplar Street Traffic Calming and Safety Project – Phase I (CIP Project No. 593).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Based on the adopted Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2023-24, there are sufficient funds to award this contract. Allocated funding sources include a $1,202,000 Federal Grant through the One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) – Cycle 2 Program, $483,000 of Streets and Roads Fund 123, and $265,000 allocated Measure M funds (reimbursable by C/CAG).
For properties subject to cost sharing through deferred street agreements (DSAs) within the boundaries of the Phase I project, contributions are estimated between $17,000 and $40,000 in the near term in the aggregate for seven current properties with a DSA and up to another $60,000 in aggregate from undeveloped lots that come for building permits over the next 10 years based on applying a reimbursement requirement. Any cost share proceeds collected would be put back in the Streets and Roads Fund 123 for future street-related improvements within City limits.
154
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Infrastructure and Environment, and Healthy Communities and Public Safety Elements of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The Poplar Street Traffic Calming and Safety Project- Phase 1 will provide frontage amenities to Poplar Street from Main Street to Highway 1 providing a consistent set of pedestrian & bicycle improvements and incorporates traffic calming measures for motorized vehicles along the same corridor. The project consists of the installation of concrete sidewalk along the north side and a decomposed granite (DG) pathway on the south side of the project area. Additional improvements include concrete curb and gutters, parking lane, new driveway aprons, stormwater improvements, green infrastructure, vegetated planting areas, bulb-outs, street trees, and pavement restoration.
On Thursday, June 22, 2023, the City advertised a request for public bids for the Poplar Street Traffic Calming and Safety Project.
BID SUMMARY:
The City received six (6) bids before the scheduled bid opening time and date of 2:00 PM on Tuesday, July 25, 2023. The bids and engineer’s estimate are summarized as follows:
DISCUSSION:
The lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Half Moon Bay Grading and Paving’s base bid and bid alternate (total bid) totaling $1,445,365.87 is approximately 12% below the Engineer’s Estimate. City Staff have reviewed the bid from Half Moon Bay Grading and Paving, Inc., and have determined that it is acceptable and free from significant material discrepancies.
Geotechnical testing, design services, and construction contingencies will also be needed for the project.
In addition to on-site traffic control and messages, the community will receive information regarding construction through other channels, including e-news, social media, and direct flyers (for those in the project area). Construction is anticipated to commence in the Fall of 2023 with construction to be performed during the day, Monday through Friday, between the hours of Bidder Base Bid Bid Alternate Total
Engineer’s Estimate $1,622,641 19,800 $1,642,441
Half Moon Bay Grading & Paving, Inc. $1,430,606 $14,760 $1,445,365 Joseph J. Albanese, Inc. $1,813,990 $72 $1,814,062
Dryco Construction, Inc. $1,917,720 $28,800 $1,946,520
Redgwick Construction Co. $1,973,610 $10,440 $1,984,050 Andreini Brothers, Inc. $1,986,961 $13,077 $2,000,038
Granite Rock Company $2,899,192 $72,000 $2,971.192
155
7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The contractor will also provide direct notices to properties with limited access in advance of construction. City Staff anticipates Poplar Street between Main Street and Highway 1 to be closed to through traffic for the duration of the project, anticipated to be approximately 12 months. Local traffic will be allowed to residents that require access from Poplar Street.
Deferred Street Agreements (DSA)
For several decades, Half Moon Bay’s Municipal Code has required property owners to enter into DSAs for sites adjacent to partially improved or unimproved streets, as a condition of building permit approval. Back then, projects were discontinuous and adjacent to unimproved lots and developers would sign a “deferred street agreement” that was subsequently recorded to run with the property. The agreement provides that participation would occur at the time of the City initiating a public project to complete larger segments of improvements at a time. In current practice, the private developer is responsible for all the public frontage improvements associated with the length of the property frontage (distance which the lot runs parallel at the street level).
Using the lowest bid, staff is presenting options to implement the cost sharing through the use of DSA’s which are presented below:
Option 1. Use the low-bid amount with a cost reduction based on the grant funding. The difference would be divided by the length of the street multiplied by two (2) for each side of Poplar Street (each side responsible for sharing frontage costs from property line to the street crown). The approximate amount that each property would participate in would be $147 per linear foot – totaling between $7,200 to $8,400 from each of the impacted properties. The variation depends on the width of the lot.

Option 2. Similar to the previous but includes an additional decrease for any traffic calming elements, such as bulb-outs and bioretention soils. This would decrease the participation amount of each impacted property. The approximate amount that each property would participate in would be $63 per linear foot – totaling between $3,100 to $3,600 from each of the impacted properties. The variation remains dependent on lot width.

Option 3. Award the project with the allocated funding per the adopted FY 2023-24 CIP Budget (existing street funds and grant funding) and bring this discussion back to the City Council at a later date.
The properties impacted by the deferred street agreement decision have been notified by mail regarding this meeting. Staff have met with many of these residents and owners over the last several years and will continue to do so through the cost-sharing specifics with consideration of the fiscal impacts. To collect the contributions of DSA’s, the City can review several alternatives to the cost recovery, including financing and reoccurring payment options to be considered by the Finance Director. Any agreements would be subject to review and approval by the City Attorney. In addition, there are several properties that are undeveloped to this day. The City would apply either option to those lots subject to their development bound to the property through recordation with the County of San Mateo.
Staff recommends the City Council select an option to implement cost sharing participation by properties having DSA’s adjacent to the project site of Poplar Street between Main Street and Highway 1 as well as future cost sharing requirements for lots yet to be developed.
Staff also recommends awarding the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Half Moon Bay Grading and Paving, Inc., in the amount of $1,445,365.87 and approve a construction contingency amount not exceeding an amount of $216,804.88 (15 percent) for potential change orders for the Poplar Street Traffic Calming and Safety Project (CIP Project No. 0593).

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: September 5, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Maz Bozorginia, Public Works Director/City Engineer TITLE: SAM OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUEST –
PRINCETON PUMP STATION CAPITAL REPLACEMENT PROJECT
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution deferring the requested budget augmentation increasing the prior approved IPS project (Princeton Pump Station Capital Replacement) pending a renewed stipulation to pay under protest or final resolution in the court action.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The potential fiscal impact to the City’s sewer fund associated with this action is $839,619. Per the Stipulation and Order, the City has agreed to fund the IPS project, under protest, pending the outcome of the City’s request for declaratory relief.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action supports the Fiscal Sustainability and Inclusive Governance Elements of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
SAM is preparing to replace the Princeton Pump Station which is part of the Intertie Pipeline System (IPS), a series of force mains, pump stations and wet weather storage facilities that convey effluent from sewer customers within the Montara and Granada special districts to the SAM operated treatment plant.
On August 8, 2023, SAM publicly opened and read aloud four (4) received bids for the replacement of the Princeton Pump Station. The lowest responsive bidder came in with a bid of $1,637,650 which exceeds the original project budget amount of $1,263,181. The original estimate was included in the adopted FY 2022-23 SAM budget and indicated at that time as full project delivery cost. The City approved the project in FY 2022-23 “under protest” per the Superior Court of the County of San Mateo Stipulation and Order Regarding Expenses and Assessments for the Sewer Authority Mid-Coastside in the matter of City of Half Moon Bay v. 164
Granada Community Services District et al. (Case No. 17 CV 03092) approved on September 13, 2017.
On August 14, 2023, the SAM Board of Directors was asked to award a construction contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The Board continued the item and requested the General Manager circulate a formal budget amendment/augmentation. Subsequently, the General Manager updated the budget and provided the revised budget to Agency Managers.
The revised budget request for delivery of the Princeton Pump Station is currently $2,593,415, which is more than $1.3M over the originally adopted project budget of $1,263,181.
As part of the updated funding request, an updated Princeton Pump Station Project CIP page (Attachment 2) was provided to Agency Managers that expanded the previously approved project scope. The purpose of the original project was to replace the buried package pump at the Princeton Station but was increased to also include upgrades to electrical and control equipment including, Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) controls, magnetic flow meter, wet-well floats, level controls, communications upgrades among others. Additional budget requests include project management and engineering consultant services.
DISCUSSION:
The California Appellate Court is scheduled to consider the City’s appeal of the Santa Clara Superior Court decision in City of Half Moon Bay v. Granada Community Services District et al.
The court date is set for October 5, 2023, with a decision to be rendered within 90-days of the hearing. Until recently, the City, Granada and Montara operated under a Stipulation and Order that allowed the City to pay “under protest” for the IPS related items. Meaning simply, the City would pay its “fair share” pending outcome of the litigation. In the event the City prevails, the Granada and Montara Districts would refund IPS capital costs (paid under protest) which the City believes do not benefit its ratepayers.
Granada and Montara have chosen to no longer recognize the Stipulation and Order. This issue became a source of contention with the adoption of the FY 2023-24 SAM operating budget.
Granada and Montara chose to not negotiate a new Stipulation and Order which in turn forced the City to request modification of the capital infrastructure portion of the SAM budget.
In the process of reviewing and approving the FY 2023-24 SAM budget, there was no indication given that staff were moving forward with the Princeton Pump Station project and soliciting bids. In addition, despite increases in the Construction Cost Index (CCI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI), no additional funding was requested for the Princeton Pump Station Project. The current amended request to cover the additional project costs is $1,330,234 (77.3% increase), of which the City’s share would be $818,094 (based on flow rate). That is a very significant budget increase just two months after budget adoption. The SAM General Manager initially requested authority to award the contract utilizing accrued capital project funds.
Given the upcoming Appellate Court date, staff is recommending the City Council defer the requested budget augmentation increasing the prior approved IPS project (Princeton Pump 165
Station Capital Replacement) pending either approval of a renewed stipulation to pay under protest or final resolution in the court action.
CONCLUSION:
SAM staff was prepared to proceed with the project absent a budget amendment and augmentation. The City’s deferral should not impact on the award nor affect delivery of the project.

SEWER AUTHORITY MID-COASTSIDE
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FY2023 - FY2024
Princeton Pump Station – Additional Upgrades for New Buried Package Pump Station
Priority: Regulatory and Safety
This project expands the scope of the original Princeton Pump Station replacement project. In addition to the new buried package pump station, essential upgrades to the associated electrical equipment and controls are required. The control panels for the new pumps will be relocated from the existing pump station room to the larger MCC building. Along with new VFD controls for the pumps, a new magnetic flow meter, new wet well floats, new level controls for wet well and a new transformer will give operators the accuracy and flexibility to manage the pump station efficiently. The project also is introducing new radio antennas to upgrade telemetry as existing radios are obsolete.
Other elements added to this project include outdoor lighting for increased safety, flexible pipe connections on the force main to allow for differential settlement, rehabbing an existing manhole by relining the interior, and additional fence and gate replacements for improved operator access and security. Lastly, the existing bladder-type surge tank will be replaced with an upgraded airover-water 500-gallon surge tank which requires new electrical controls and wiring that provides more control for operations and increased reliability.
