TITLE 6 – HOUSING
CHAPTER 6.04 – Residential Rental Registration
Section 6.04.010 – Findings and Purpose
1) Findings.
The City Council finds and declares as follows:
1. The City has a substantial government interest in regulating the relationship between Landlords and Tenants in order to increase, certainty, stability, and fairness within the rental market.
2. The City finds that this Ordinance requires only the registration of Residential Rental Units and the collection of fees associated with the registry.
3. The Ordinance codified in this Title is being adopted pursuant to the City's police power authority to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. 2) Purpose.
The purpose of this Chapter is to adopt regulations for Landlords to register their residential rental units and provide related information to the City on an annual basis. The registration process will allow the City to collect, monitor, and analyze the characteristics of the residential rental units and actual rents in Half Moon Bay. Collected data will be presented in an annual report to the City Council. Registration fees collected by separate resolution pursuant to this Chapter will be used to manage the registry program which will include data collection and archiving, referrals to mediation and legal services, and education and resource materials for Landlords, Owners, and Tenants in the City. This Chapter supports the City's housing goals and protects public health, safety, and welfare for the residents of Half Moon Bay. This Chapter and its implementation are intended to protect the privacy of individual Tenants and the proprietary information of Landlords and Owners, the public release of which could result in a competitive disadvantage.
Section 6.04.020 – Registration of Residential Rental Units a) Initial Registration. A Landlord must register each Residential Rental Unit that is subject to the provisions of this Chapter within sixty (60) calendar days of the effective date of the resolution establishing rental registration fees or July 1, 2024 whichever is earliest.
Registration must be completed using forms provided by the City. The forms provided by the City may include a secure internet website with an interface for submitting the information required by this Chapter. Registration is complete only when all required information has been provided to the City and all outstanding fees and penalties, if applicable, have been paid. Upon completion of the initial registration of a Residential 29 Rental Unit, the City shall issue a registration statement which shall include the renewal date for the registration of the applicable Units. The City may issue a citation and impose a late penalty should a Landlord fail to register their Residential Rental Units by the City established deadline.
b) Renewal. Registration of Residential Rental Units shall expire on June 30 of each year.
There will be no proration of fees. Registration of Residential Rental Units shall be completed no later than July 31 of each subsequent year. The City may issue a citation and impose a late penalty should an Owner/Landlord fail to register their Residential Rental Units by July 31.
c) Residential Rental Registry Information. At minimum, the following information shall be provided as part of the initial and renewal registration of a Residential Rental Unit. Failure to provide the required information or providing false information is a violation of the Half Moon Bay Municipal Code Chapter 4.14, chargeable as a criminal offense.
1. The name, mailing address, phone number, and email of the Owner, Landlord, and Property Manager as applicable; and
2. The street address (and unit number where applicable) of each Residential Rental Unit or portion thereof for rent or lease; and
3. The Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) that each Residential Rental Unit for rent or lease is located; and
4. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms in each Residential Rental Unit, including square footage, for rent or lease; and
5. The occupancy status of each Residential Rental Unit (e.g., vacant or occupied); and
6. Reason for vacancy (e.g., lease expiration, voluntary move-out or eviction); and
7. The number of individuals currently residing in the unit, if occupied; and
8. Where applicable, the number of rooms individually rented; and
9. The current amount of the monthly rent charged for each Residential Rental Unit, identifying whether the monthly rent includes specified utilities (e.g., water, sewer, solid waste disposal, natural gas, electricity, etc.); and
10. Whether or not the unit’s monthly rent is subsidized (e.g., such as through a housing voucher or another subsidy).
30 d) Termination of Exemption. When a Residential Rental Unit, previously deemed to be exempt from this Chapter becomes governed by this Chapter, the Landlord must register the Residential Rental Unit with the City within forty-five (45) calendar days of the change in status. It shall be the responsibility of the Landlord to inform the City. Failure to provide notice will be subject to enforcement by the City including issuance of citation(s). e) Registration Amendment. A Landlord shall notify the City if there is a change to the registration information for any Residential Rental Unit. A Landlord shall contact theCity within thirty (30) calendar days of a change in a Residential Rental Unit's ownership or management, or a change in the Owner's, Landlord’s or Property Manager's contact information. Failure to update information is subject to enforcement by the City including issuance of citation(s).
f) Administrative Regulations. The City may promulgate administrative regulations and operational procedures to implement the provisions of this Chapter. g) Collecting and Keeping Confidential Residential Rental Registry Information.
1. The City Council recognizes that the Residential Rental Registry Information, if publicly disclosed, could reveal the rent that a Tenant pays for a Residential Rental Unit or other proprietary information of an Owner or Landlord that could create a competitive disadvantage for every Landlord or owner required to comply with this Chapter.
The City Council also recognizes that the Public Records Act (Government Code §§ 6250, et seq.) generally requires the City to make available to the public information in its possession that relates to the conduct of the public's business.
The Public Records Act contains exceptions intended to protect the privacy of individuals and the proprietary information of businesses that is in the City's possession only because of a legal requirement to provide it to the City in connection with a regulatory program.
The City Council declares that the Residential Rental Registry Information shall be received in confidence, and that the public interest in nondisclosure of the Residential Rental Registry Information clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
2. The City Council anticipates that Residential Rental Registry Information will be kept in a secure database. The database containing Residential Rental Registry Information may be utilized by City staff to assist in administration of any subsequent adopted rent control ordinance and/or tenant protections ordinance.
It is also anticipated that the database will be used to generate reports necessary to inform and manage housing programs as well as supplement other data sources utilized in preparation of the City’s Housing Element or required annual Housing 31 Element Progress Reports made to the State Department of Housing and Community Development. The City anticipates generating reports which may include, but are not limited to:
a) the number of Residential Rental Units per building and/or assessor’s parcel;
b) the number and type of rooms in a Residential Rental Unit on each assessor’s parcel;
c) the size of Residential Rental Units, expressed in square feet; d) the Rent for Residential Rental Units, classified only by range of size (square feet and bedrooms) and type of Residential Rental Units (apartment, single-family detached, single-family attached, accessory dwelling unit);
e) average and/or median Rent for Residential Rental Units by range of size (square feet and bedrooms) and type of Residential Rental Units (apartment, single-family detached, single-family attached, accessory dwelling unit);
f) the average length of occupancy or vacancy of Residential Rental Units classified by range of size (square footage), number of bedrooms, and type of Residential Rental Unit.
The Residential Rental Registry Information listed in this subsection shall be the onlyResidentialRentalRegistry Information releasedin responseto a requestmade under the Public Records Act. The City will not disclose Residential Rental Registry Information for Residential Rental Units in a manner that identifies the Rent for any individual Rental Unit. Residential Rental Registry Information shall not include identifying information regarding an individual Tenant or property manager. These limitations do not apply to the extent the requested records are already public or if required by a court of law.
3. The Administrator may generate additional reports from the Residential Rental Registry Information database for the purposes of this Chapter. Such reportsshall be released to the public only if kept in the normal course of City business and only after redacting any Residential Rental Registry Information that would improperly intrude into the personal privacy of Tenants or reveal Landlord/Owner proprietary information that could result in a competitive disadvantage.
4. The Administrator, in consultation with the City Attorney, may authorize the release of other Residential Rental Registry Information that would be otherwise confidential if it is determined that the release is legally required or the public interest in disclosure would clearly outweigh the public interest in nondisclosure.
Section 6-04.030 – Rental Registry Fees
a) Rental Registry Fees. Each Landlord shall pay the required Residential Rental Registry Fee as set forth by resolution of the City Council. The Rental Registry Fee shall be 32 imposed annually for each rental unit with no proration. The fees shall be used to defray the reasonable costs associated with the implementation and administration of this Chapter, including costs of creating the portal for intake of registrations, maintenance of a database for Residential Rental Registry, reporting, financial administration, enforcement of the registration required by this Chapter, outreach, education, conflict resolution, and other related services as deemed appropriate by the City and included in the user fee calculation.
b) Late Fees; Penalties. A Landlord's failure to pay the annual Residential Rental Registration Fees required by this Chapter shall result in the City taking the following actions:
1. Issue a delinquency notice to the Landlord/Owner that provides up to fifteen (15) calendar days to pay the amount due.
2. If not paid within fifteen (15) calendar days following the issuance of the delinquency notice, the City shall assess a penalty of ten (10) percent of the Residential Rental Registry Fee, due and payable with the compliance fee on the first day of the month following the due date provided in the delinquency notice.
3. For every thirty (30) calendar days thereafter that the Residential Rental Registry Fees remain unpaid, the City shall assess a penalty of ten (10) percent of the Rental Registry Fee. If the Rental Registry Fees remain unpaid within ninety (90) calendar days following the issuance of the delinquency notice, the Landlord shall be subject to a citation described in Title 4, Chapter 4.16 (Administrative Enforcement) of the Half Moon Bay Municipal Code.
The City may collect any past due Residential Rental Registry Fees and late payment penalties by use of all available legal means, including, but not limited to, means available forthe collection of judgments, liens, and actionsforrecovery of money. The City also may recover its collection costs.
c) Residential Rental Registry Fees Pass-Through. A Landlord/Owner may not explicitly recover any portion of the Residential Rental Registry Fee, or any associated late penalties or enforcement costs, from Tenant(s). d) Exemptions. Feesshall not apply to the following Residential Rental Units:
1. Subsidized Residential Rental Units.

An “immediate relative” of the landlord may be the landlord’s spouse, domestic partner, children, grandchildren, parents, or grandparents.
3. Accessory Dwelling Units as Short-Term Vacation Rental (STR). An accessory dwelling unit utilized and registered as a Short-Term Rental under continuation provisions contained in the Municipal Code shall be exempt from registration and fees until such time the unit is converted to a Residential Rental Unit.
4. Mobile or Manufactured Home. Registration of a mobile or manufactured home that is owner-occupied shall not be subject to registration even if the unit is subject to lot or space rental.

If, however, either the Landlord or Tenant does not wish to continue the rental relationship, then there shall be no obligation for the Landlord to offer, or for the Tenant to accept, any renewal of the lease, unless required by state law. This subsection shall not apply to a rental unit that is rented subject to a written lease of less than one (1) year.
F. Applicability. This section shall apply to each residential rental unit located within the city.
Section 6.10.020 - Landlord and Tenant Dispute Resolution.
A. Mandatory discussion of rental housing disputes. All landlords and tenants shall participate in the conciliation and mediation of rental unit disputes as provided in this section. A rental unit dispute means a fact-based grievance raised by any tenant or landlord regarding the occupancy or use of a rental unit limited to rental rate increases, deposits, repairs and maintenance, utilities, occupants, parking and storage facilities, privacy, quiet enjoyment, or use of common areas.
B. Procedure.
1. Any tenant or landlord may request mandatory discussion of a rental unit dispute by filing a written request for dispute resolution within twenty-one days of learning the facts 36 that give rise to the dispute. The request must be filed with the Administrator and must provide sufficient factual information to outline the basic issue or issues being raised.
2. Within seven days of receiving a written request for dispute resolution, the Administrator will notify both tenant and landlord if a case has been opened and will provide a copy of the request to the responding party. The Administrator will also initiate a conciliation process before mediation is scheduled, by engaging in a confidential telephone call or other contact to attempt to resolve the dispute.
3. The Administrator will not open dispute resolution, or will order dispute resolution closed, when it is clear from the written request that there is no substantial factual basis for the dispute, or when the dispute involves the actions or behavior of persons, or conditions, that are not within the control or responsibility of the parties; or when the dispute is frivolous, malicious or vexatious; or when further proceedings are not, in the sole judgment of the Administrator, likely to be productive.
4. The Administrator will promptly assign the request to a mediator who will contact all relevant parties to mediate the dispute. The Administrator shall have the authority to combine different disputes or different parties in the interest of efficiently addressing the disputes, provided that any party may, for reasons of confidentiality or otherwise, opt out of a combined mediation involving more than one tenant or landlord by notifying the Administrator. All communications between the Administrator and the parties as well as between the mediator and the parties shall be confidential and subject to the confidentiality guarantees set forth in California Evidence Code Sections 703.5 and 1115 – 1128, as may be amended.
5. No mediation will be scheduled until at least fourteen days after the parties are notified in order to allow time for conciliation efforts before mediation. Unless all parties agree in writing to waive the time limit, the initial mediation session will be conducted within twenty-eight days of the date the written request for dispute resolution is filed.
6. If a mediation session is held, the mediator shall provide the parties with an opening statement explaining the nature of the process and the ground rules. Thereafter the mediator will determine the manner and course of the session.
7. The landlords and/or tenants involved in the dispute shall be obligated to personally appear at a mediation session scheduled by a mediator. All parties must participate in the mediation session until completion of the mediator's opening statement. All parties appearing must have the legal authority to resolve disputes arising under this chapter.
Participation in mediation shall be voluntary in all respects after the opening statement.
The mediator may, with the consent of all parties, schedule additional sessions as needed.
8. No party shall be obligated to reach any specific agreement, or to reach any agreement at all, as a result of participating in conciliation or mediation communications. If an agreement is reached, it will be stated in writing by the mediator or by the parties. The 37 City shall not be a party to or be obligated in any way under any agreement between a landlord and tenant.
Section 6.10.030 - Notice Requirements.
A. Form. Landlords shall provide all tenants with notice summarizing the rights afforded by this section.
1. The notice regarding minimum lease terms shall be provided prior to entering any lease, written or oral, and shall contain substantially the following language:

TITLE: RECLASSIFICATION OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT ANALYST TO
ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER CLASSIFICATION
________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the reclassification of the Senior Management Analyst position to Assistant to the City Manager in the City Manager’s office.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The difference between the two classifications totals approximately $10,000 per year.
Initially, the plan is to fill the position at a 0.8 FTE level (32 hours per week), which would result in salary savings of more than $18,000 per year. In future fiscal years, depending on the needs of the City and budget capacity, the FTE level could be increased.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This recommendation supports the Fiscal Sustainability and Inclusive Government Elements of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Within the City Manager’s Office, the Senior Management Analyst provides significant support to department and City operations. Under general supervision, the Senior Management Analyst provides advanced administrative, program, project, and budgetary support to the department. In mid-2023, the position was vacated due to a staff resignation, and temporarily held open to allow for reallocation of certain duties, evaluate the City structure and needs for the future, and realize salary savings in the current Fiscal Year. Ultimately, it has been determined that for the present circumstances and foreseeable future, it would be advantageous to change the classification to Assistant to the City Manager, which would provide the City with the flexibility to assign more complex projects typically handled by a department head or senior manager. By reclassifying to a position with a higher skill level, the City Manager 51 can be assured that important tasks will be handled efficiently and effectively with minimal oversight.
Additionally, having a higher-level classification allows for the completion of projects that have been put on hold due to a lack of staff capacity, including important policy and program development and oversight. With the Assistant to the City Manager working on these projects, they can move forward without delay and with limited supervision. This will not only improve productivity, but also ensure that important initiatives are given the appropriate level of focus and attention.
Specifically, the Assistant to the City Manager could lead policy development and implementation projects, complete the development and oversight of the City’s grants management program, assist in strategic planning and monitoring, conduct high-level research, and provide valuable insights into various projects and initiatives. By taking on these responsibilities, the position can better assist the City Manager in making informed decisions and ensuring successful project outcomes.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: February 6, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: John Doughty, Assistant City Manager
Mike Noce, Housing Programs Manager
TITLE: RESIDENTIAL RENTAL REGISTRATION FEE AND RELATED MATTERS ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council, upon receiving public input, adopt a resolution:
1. Establishing a new fee titled, “Residential Rental Registration Fee” in the amount of $75 and adding the fee to the City user fee schedule as presented in Exhibit A to the resolution; and
2. Authorizing Staff to offer no fee registration between June 1 and June 30, 2024, as an incentive to early registration; and
3. Applying the automatic Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment beginning July 1, 2025; and
4. Allocating up to $150,000 in City Affordable Housing Funds to cover initial start-up and implementation costs of the program; and
5. Directing Staff to direct user fees, late fees and citations related to FY 2024-25 residential rental registration be directed to the City Affordable Housing Fund.
Note: This fee will be in effect sixty (60) days from approval, April 6, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
First year implementation and operating costs for the Rental Registration Program are estimated at $150,000, which Staff proposes to cover through an initial allocation from the City’s Affordable Housing Fund. This figure includes the known cost of developing an online registration portal and secure database as well as estimates of related staff and compliance efforts. Stabilization of costs is expected in subsequent years with the addition of rent control and related tenant protections due to improved economies of scale. The recommended fee for FY 2024-25 does not represent full cost recovery. Additional details are included in the Discussion section of the report.
148
STRATEGIC ELEMENTS:
This action supports all the City Council Strategic Plan Elements including Infrastructure and Environment, Healthy Communities and Public Safety, Fiscal Sustainability, and Inclusive Governance.
OVERVIEW/BACKGROUND:
The Half Moon Bay City Council has identified affordable housing as a multi-year City priority.
The Council has specifically cited their desire to help facilitate development of new multi-family rental development affordable to extremely low-, very low-, and low-income households. To that end, the City Council adopted, and the Coastal Commission certified, a new Local Coastal Land Use Plan (LCLUP), which reduced the constraints to preserving existing affordable housing and created new affordable housing land use opportunities. This work has been followed by the preparation of the Cycle 6 (2023-2031) Housing Element which identifies various affordable housing opportunity sites and policy initiatives to protect and create new housing throughout the City in alignment with the LCLUP. During Cycle 6, the City is required to demonstrate housing production capacity beyond the regional housing needs allocation (RHNA) assigned to the City of 480 housing units. The production of housing units, especially units for lower-income households, is a vital component of supporting the local community with stable housing options. The Draft Housing Element is nearing completion and available on the City website for public viewing. The items being discussed in this report reflect many of the implementation programs contained in the Draft Housing Element.
Included in the Housing Element’s development pipeline, the City solicited and selected a developer (Mercy Housing/ALAS) for the City-owned 555 Kelly Avenue property, which is planned to bring 40 units of affordable senior farmworker housing. This project has an estimated development cost of $34 million. Additionally, the City and County of San Mateo filed a joint application for affordable housing at 880 Stone Pine Road. In December the City issued an Emergency Coastal Development Permit for Stone Pine Cove, an estimated $15 Million project to produce 47 modular units on approximately 5 acres of City-owned land. The County is preparing to take bids on the site development work and is in the process of awarding a contract for the purchase of forty-seven (47) modular units.
As mentioned previously, the Draft Housing Element outlines numerous other housing projects that are on the horizon. One significant characteristic of the City’s housing pipeline is that new units often take multiple years to plan, permit, and construct. Unfortunately, this means there will be a delay in the time that a project is conceived until occupied. Predevelopment, such as architectural design, engineering, financing, and entitlements often spans 1-3 years with construction adding an additional 1-2 years, with timelines sometimes increasing for large multi-family developments. Introducing mechanisms that protect existing rental housing stock for renters (particularly lower-income renters) is a strategy the City Council has directed Staff to initiate.
As part of the City’s initial assessment of the rental market, Staff spoke to and met with local non-profits and service providers. These conversations provided a better understanding of the 149
rental housing market as they and their clients see it. Much of the information these organizations gather is client-privileged communication and could not be shared in detail. What we can say from our conversations is that the lower-income renters on the Coastside depend on a rental market primarily driven by sharing single-family homes and apartments with much of the activity lacking formal leases and/or rental agreements. Anecdotally, we have heard that a room in Moonridge and other similar sites will rent for as much as $1,300 per month. We have also heard that many of these tenants are being excluded from whole-house access such as kitchen or laundry facilities. Staff has also been told that subleasing and home-sharing are the source of many of the complaints regarding unnoticed rent increases. It is also clear that in many instances, room-sharing is a source of income for owner-occupants and primary tenant(s).
On November 7, 2023, the City Council held a work session on tenant protections. This meeting provided an opportunity for Staff to present potential ways to assist existing renters within the City (Staff Report). The work session was an opportunity for landlords and tenants to provide their observations and recommendations. Following community input and City Council discussion, Staff was directed to immediately initiate work on: 1) a rental registration ordinance; 2) a rent control ordinance; 3) an enhanced tenant protections and relocation assistance ordinance; and 4) a code enforcement related relocation assistance ordinance.
On January 16, 2024, the City Council introduced an ordinance establishing a new Residential Rental Registration program. Second Reading (adoption) of the ordinance is scheduled for consideration on February 6, 2024. The registration program will serve as critical foundational support to the development and success of the forthcoming tenant protections program.
DISCUSSION:
New Chapter 6.04 (Residential Rental Registration) requires landlords to register each of their rental units with the City on an annual basis, starting July 1, 2024. As has been previously noted, the rental housing market in Half Moon Bay is complex and comprised of numerous components, many of which are not presently well understood or able to be documented by the City under the current regulatory structure. The registration process will allow the City to collect, monitor and analyze the characteristics of residential rental units, renters, and rental rates in Half Moon Bay. The data will be available for the community, Planning Commission, and City Council to inform housing policies and programs now and in the future. The registration of units and collection of this data is critical to the City Council’s stated intent to establish a Costa Hawkins Act based rent control program. Registration and data collection will also assist the City in directing resources to tenant/landlord relations, education, and mediation.
Registration will include the completion of an application form which includes questions regarding each rental unit. The City will create an online application portal and payment option for the convenience of landlords. In-person filing and payment will also be available. Per the ordinance, a landlord may not directly pass on the cost of registration to a tenant. 150
Under the Chapter, registration is required for the following types of rental units: single-family detached homes, single-family attached (condominiums and townhouses), mobile and manufactured homes (not space rental), duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, apartments, rented accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and any room rented in a homeshare situation. Registration will expire annually on June 30th and must be renewed no later than July 31st. The registration window will be open annually on July 1st and extend throughout the month of July. Staff anticipates opening the registration portal by June 1, 2024, and early registration is welcome.
As previously discussed, implementation of the ordinance will require the creation of a registration/payment portal and a secure database to house information collected in the registration process. The database ultimately will provide a clearinghouse of data regarding rental housing units, age of units (necessary for rent control), rents charged and other related information. The City has entered into an agreement with a consultant (Tolemi) to provide the portal, database, and assistance in identifying rental units/addresses in the City. Tolemi provides similar services to 150 other cities. The City of Monterey initiated rental registration on January 1, 2024, with the support of Tolemi. The portal and database will require annual funding through the program, with annual costs of approximately $30,000.
The rental registration program will require day-to-day Staff support. This work includes direct assistance to landlords and tenants, management of the Tolemi agreement, data analysis, and regular progress and annual reporting. Initially, this work will be handled by reallocation of existing Staff resources. Over time, Staff will evaluate the possibility and cost-effectiveness of contracting some of the day-to-day operational duties. Program support will also involve the expertise of the City Attorney (legal), investigation, and compliance support of the City’s Neighborhood Preservation Specialist, and eventually an outside hearing officer and/or mediation services for tenant/landlord disputes that may arise through any or all the related tenant protection efforts.
Total FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 implementation and operating cost is estimated to be $150,000. The City Council initiated the registration program as a means of gathering critical data on the City’s rental housing market which that data in turn can be used to inform housing policy. Given the stated purpose, Staff is recommending the City Council not seek 100% cost recovery in the first year of registration, but rather focus on getting registration compliance and desired rental data.
It is recommended that the first-year registration fee be set as a two-tiered program. Tier 1 would be a “no fee” early registration to run from June 1 to June 30, 2024. The “no-fee” early registration would hopefully encourage registration by all owners, expedite data gathering and reduce compliance related efforts and costs. Tier 2 would require a $75 registration fee for each unit and under the ordinance registration would be completed between July 1 and July 31, 2024. Non-registered units, beginning August 1, 2024, would be subject to late fees, penalties, and administrative citations. As noted earlier, Staff is recommending that all related fees be returned to the City Affordable Housing Fund in FY 2024-25. 151
Table 1: Residential Rental Registration Fee Structure Beginning June 1, 2024 Tier Fee
Tier 1: 6/1/24 to 6/30/24 No Fee “Early Registration”
Tier 2: 7/1/24 to 7/31/24 $75 per unit
Tier 3: After 7/31/24 $75 per unit & subject to late fees, penalties, and administrative citations
The American Community Survey 2015-2019 estimates that 28% of the 5,098 housing units are renter occupied. This equals approximately 1,427 rental units, of which approximately 400 are subject to long-term affordability restrictions limiting rental rates and eligibility of renters. Staff recommends a fee of $75 per unit in FY 2024-25. The proposed fee represents a cost recovery of approximately 70% if all units register and pay the applicable fee. We anticipate early “no fee” registration will reduce FY 2024-25 cost recovery to some extent; however, early registration will eliminate many back-end costs including compliance, legal assistance, etc.
The Residential Rental Registration fee will be evaluated annually and adjusted based upon costs, revenues, and City Council recovery policy direction. Registration is part of the broader rent control and tenant protections initiative. We anticipate having far better information at the end of FY 2024-25 as all tenant protection initiatives are established and implemented. As noted earlier, we anticipate improved economies of scale with the full program implementation.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed Residential Rental Registration program supports City housing goals as reflected in the soon-to-be certified Housing Element. Further, the provisions are necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare of Half Moon Bay residents who own/manage rental properties and those who rent/lease properties. Residential Rental Registration implementation is critical and foundational to establishing units that would be subject to Costa Hawkins Act rent control.
The registration process provides a means to convey information to both landlords and tenants.
Further, registration provides the City with critical data necessary to manage and implement housing programs now and into the future. The user fee being recommended is adequate to cover reasonably anticipated costs of implementing and operating the Residential Rental Registration program in FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 per State law. The recommended actions align with the guiding principles and use of the Affordable Housing Fund to cover initial costs of implementing and operating the Residential Rental Registration program. Furthermore, the data collected from this program can be used to support the local lower-income workforce high-risk populations through future policy implementation.
NEXT STEPS:
Upon adoption of the Ordinance and Resolution, Staff will be working with Tolemi to create the registration portal. Staff will be preparing informational materials and mailers regarding the registration program to both landlords and tenants. Our goal is to have the portal operational by June 1st.
152
Staff continues to work on other aspects of Tenant Protections including rent control and enhanced tenant protections for consideration by the City Council this spring.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: February 6, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Maz Bozorginia, Public Works Director/City Engineer Helen Wolter, Public Works and Sustainability Programs Manager TITLE: MUNICIPAL ENERGY PROJECTS
_____________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Provide direction to staff to:
(1) Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to deploy Solar Photovoltaic Systems at Agency facilities in partnership with the Agency’s public power provider, Peninsula Clean Energy, through a standard Power Purchase Agreement, should the project result in financial and/or community benefits.
OR
(2) Move forward with the comprehensive solar photovoltaic (PV) system purchase to meet the City Half Moon Bay’s sustainability goals of carbon-free electricity for all municipal facilities by 2025 and increase the energy efficiency of all municipal facilities and operations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff are providing the Council with two options to consider. Each option has certain financial implications, which are detailed in the Staff Report. The exact level of financial impact and cost to the City will be determined by more detailed studies in the future with either option. Fiscal impacts are available in Attachment 2.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Infrastructure and Environment and Healthy Communities and Public Safety Elements of the Strategic Plan.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Staff requests Council direction on which pathway to pursue for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on City Facilities:
158
(1) Enter into a Power Purchasing Agreement (PPA) as part of the Solar & Storage for Public Buildings Program through Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE), or (2) To purchase the solar photovoltaic (PV) system purchase system outright and complete a more comprehensive electrification project, which includes City Facility electrification and EV charging, achieving complementary goals identified by the City Council and in the City’s CAAP.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council expressed interest in installing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on City Facilities to promote the use of renewable energy and reduce electricity costs. Additionally, the City Council aims to electrify all municipal facilities in order to set an example for the community to reduce greenhouse gas emissions stemming from our City operations. Both goals were formally adopted in the City’s Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) Phase 1, in December 2023.
Specifically, the goals are as follows:
• ME-1: Employ carbon-free electricity for all municipal operations and increase supply of local, renewable energy supply at municipal facilities. • ME-2: Electrify all municipal facilities by 2025.
• ME-3: Increase the energy efficiency of all municipal facilities and operations.
Peninsula Clean Energy
Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) is a not-for-profit, joint powers agency formed as a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program by San Mateo County and the 20 cities and towns in 2016.
As of January 2021, PCE provides clean energy to all customers through wind, solar, and hydropower sources. PCE’s ability to provide clean energy to all customers has led many jurisdictions within their service area to adopt measures to increase energy efficiency and reduce reliance on natural gas and other fossil fuels. With this cleaner electricity generation, the replacement of natural gas and propane appliances with electric alternatives has the potential to significantly reduce building-energy related greenhouse gas emissions.
Willdan
Willdan is a publicly traded engineering and consulting company founded in 1964 (WLDN (NASDAQ)) by two engineers named Will and Dan. The company is based in Anaheim and regularly contracts with public municipalities and agencies in California. Willdan has served 442 of the 482 California cities, including a longstanding relationship with the City of Half Moon Bay.
Willdan has provided services to the City since 1996 with initial contracts that provided staff augmentation services to City Engineering and Public Works (1996-1998). They have also been providing financial services, including federal compliance reporting and special district administration since 2000. Most recently, the City worked with Willdan as the authorized implementer of PG&E’s Government K-12 (GK12) Energy Efficiency Program, which provided a free heat pump water heater and associated electrical work at the City’s Corporation Yard building in 2022. Willdan’s Energy Team has completed work with other municipalities in San Mateo County including City of Brisbane, City of Burlingame, City of Menlo Park, City of Pacifica, City of Redwood City, City of San Carlos, and the County of San Mateo. 159
DISCUSSION:
Throughout 2023, staff explored two different potential paths to add additional solar PV to City Facilities. On January 16, 2024, staff conducted a study session with the City Council to present two potential pathways for the Council to consider:
(1) Enter into a Power Purchasing Agreement (PPA) as part of the Solar & Storage for Public Buildings Program through Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE), or (2) To own the system outright and complete a more comprehensive project, which includes City Facility electrification and EV charging, complementary goals identified by the City Council and in the City’s CAAP.
Either option would result in more generation of renewable energy on City Facilities, but they differ in capital cost contribution and financial benefits. Council directed staff to provide additional information and financial projections for review at the February 6, 2024, meeting before providing direction. A summary of the two options is outlined below.
Option 1: Lease PV Solar System through PPA with Peninsula Clean Energy plus City Electrification Upon Replacement
A PPA is a financial arrangement in which a third-party developer owns, operates, and maintains the PV system, and a host customer agrees to site the system on its property and purchases the system's electric output from the solar services provider for a predetermined period. This financial arrangement allows the host customer to receive stable and o�en low-cost electricity, while the solar services provider or another party acquires valuable financial benefits, such as tax credits and income generated from the sale of electricity. With this business model, the host customer buys the services produced by the PV system rather than the PV system itself.
Under this model, PCE would own the system for up to 20 years with an option for the City to extend the PPA for an additional 5 years. Final terms are still to be determined, but the City will have the option to pay more per kilowatt hour (kWh) up front and keep the same rate over the term of the PPA, or pay less per kWh initially, with costs increasing by 2% per year for the term of the PPA. With either option, the electricity rates in the PPA are expected to be less than those available at retail rates through PG&E/PCE.
For reference, the California Public Utilities Commission estimates that energy rates will escalate at an average of 3.7% per year through 2030. However, in 2023 PG&E announced an 18% rate increase and 5% annual increases through 2026. Future rates may also be impacted by power capacity constraints, investment in grid infrastructure to support vehicle and building electrification, as well as grid hardening and undergrounding for wildfire mitigation.
For the initial consideration of installation areas for the City, PCE explored multiple potential sites for solar PV and decided to move forward with interconnection applications and preliminary designs for systems at City Hall and the Sheriff’s Substation. PCE completed the interconnection applications for both identified PV sites on behalf of the City so it can benefit 160
from Net Energy Metering (NEM) 2.0 pricing to realize better financial benefits for solar projects at these sites. This remains true whether the City decides to continue with PCE or any other vendor, as long as the system size remains the same and construction is completed by Summer 2026.
Staff has identified that to move forward, PCE’s current design at City Hall would require roof replacement prior to installation, which has not been budgeted for FY 2023-24, nor has it been included in the scope of the PPA. Additionally, the current City Hall design may cause conflict with the historic view corridor from Main Street to the historic jail and may interfere with some of the presented options for a proposed park in the west portion of the City Hall parking lot.
City staff alerted PCE staff of these potential issues, and they will be further explored once a vendor is selected for engineering, procurement, and construction.
Should Council decide to move forward with the PPA Agreement with PCE, staff will con�nue to work on facility electrifica�on when equipment needs to be replaced or when funding is made available. Staff will also budget for future EV charging (for City fleet and public use) and roof repair in the future.
Option 2: Comprehensive Municipal Energy Project: Ownership of PV System Combined with Facility Electrification, EV Charging, and Roof Repair
Staff worked with Willdan to scope another option for the City to own the PV systems and complete a more comprehensive project that included related goals to be constructed at the same time. Willdan has worked with staff to conduct a no-cost evaluation of potential projects and to provide preliminary cost estimates for this holistic project option. With some upfront funding and utilizing various incentives and grants, the City would save money on energy costs.
The scope for the fully comprehensive project includes PV installation at the City Hall and Sheriff Substation parking lots, City Hall roof repair, Public/City EV charging at City Hall, electrification of City Hall, Ted Adcock Community Center, Train Depot, Corporation Yard, and the Sheriff’s Substation/Emergency Operations Center. This comprehensive approach enables the City to leverage energy savings for related projects by combining various components into a single project. As a result, the City can leverage the greatest number of incentives and accomplish these related goals at once, and more quickly than if the City were to undertake the projects individually.
With this project approach, the City would retain ownership of the PV systems and realize their full financial benefits, including the lowest energy costs and ownership of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). Due to size and shading constraints, the PV system would offset about 88% of energy costs at both City Hall and the Sheriff Substation.
Willdan has presented various financing options that utilize PCE's 1% and Tax-Exempt Lease Purchase (TELP) 4.97% loans for the full scope. If this option is chosen, Staff recommends utilizing existing $335,000 Capital Improvement Funds for City Hall HVAC Replacement 161
budgeted for FY 2023-24 and a City Energy Grant from PCE to avoid the need to budget additional funding from the General Fund and/or Reserves in FY 2024-25.
To date, Willdan has completed its preliminary assessment at its own expense. However, to proceed with a more detailed audit and scoping, Willdan requests that the City agrees to help recover the costs, up to $30,000, in case the City decides not to move forward with a final project. On the other hand, if the City decides to proceed with the project with Willdan after the more detailed scoping, the costs incurred will be included in the overall project scope.
CONCLUSION:
Option 1:
Enter into a Power Purchasing Agreement (PPA) as part of the Solar & Storage for Public Buildings Program through Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE). Including costs incurred for separate facility updates necessary to support the solar & storage infrastructure, the culminative energy savings are offset by those additional facility costs creating an expected $51,800 net deficiency over 20 years.
Option 2:
To purchase the solar photovoltaic (PV) system outright and complete a more comprehensive electrification project, which includes City Facility electrification and EV charging, achieving complementary goals identified by the City Council and in the City’s CAAP. The expected savings due to the leveraged solar PV, PG&E, and EV charger incentives plus federal tax credits is expected to be $415,000 over 20 years. The project is eligible for additional grant monies that if awarded could save the City further money.
Timeline and Next Steps
Due to the California Public Utilities’ (CPUC) net metering changes, California recently changed how solar projects are billed. Both project options are on track to take advantage of NEM 2.0 pricing but significant changes to the final design or delays in executing an agreement with the chosen partner will jeopardize the City’s ability to qualify for NEM 2.0. Based on the Council’s direction, staff will continue to work to meet the necessary deadlines and will provide Council updates at critical milestones for their information and ultimate approval.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: February 6, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Maz Bozorginia, Public Works Director/City Engineer TITLE: SEWER AUTHORITY MID-COASTSIDE (SAM) OPERATIONS BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUEST – PRINCETON PUMP STATION AND MONTARA FORCE
MAIN CAPITAL REPLACEMENT PROJECTS
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution deferring the requested budget augmentation to increase the previously approved IPS capital replacement projects (Princeton Pump Station & Montara Force Main), pending a renewed stipulation authorizing the City to pay under protest while reserving its rights for final resolution in the court action.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The potential fiscal impact to the City’s sewer enterprise fund associated with this action is $1,305,456. Per the prior Stipulation and Order signed by all parties, the City had agreed to fund IPS projects, 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 and the Montara Force Main, which are parts 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 Water and Sanitary District (MWSD) and Granada Community Services District (GCSD), to the SAMoperated treatment plant.
In FY 2017-18, the City entered into a lawsuit with the other SAM member agencies to protect City sewer rate payers from covering expenses related to the IPS, as it does not directly benefit them. Under a subsequent Stipulation and Order entered by the court on September 13, 2017, the City agreed to fund IPS projects in the FY 2017-18 budget, under protest, pending the 192
outcome of the City’s request for declaratory relief. MWSD/GCSD have not been willing to agree to a renewed Stipulation and Order, which has caused a pause in SAM’s ability to move forward on critical repairs that impact Granada and Montara Districts.
The California Appellate Court recently considered the City’s appeal of the Santa Clara Superior Court decision in City of Half Moon Bay v. Granada Community Services District et al.
Unfortunately, the decision of the Appellate Court will require further Superior Court hearings, which will delay an outcome. In the event the City ultimately prevails, MWSD/GCSD would refund IPS capital costs previously paid under protest.
DISCUSSION:
At the regular SAM Board meeting of January 22, 2024, a number of capital project related items were presented by staff, including deferral of low-priority capital improvements and approvals to move forward with significant replacements of infrastructure at the wastewater treatment plant. The final item approved authorized the SAM General Manager to submit a budget amendment for Fiscal Year 2023-24 to member agencies for approval (Attachment 2).
Granada and Montara have chosen not to participate in establishing a new Stipulation and Order. This issue became a source of contention with the adoption of the FY 2023-24 SAM operating budget. With Granada and Montara choosing to not negotiate a new Stipulation and Order, it had in turn forced the City to request modification of the capital infrastructure portion of the SAM budget.
For the Princeton Pump Station Capital Replacement Project, construction has commenced per SAM staff under a construction contract. This project was approved as part of the FY 2022-23 with a budget of $1.2M. The current estimate to complete the work is now projected to be $2.6M, which requires an additional $1.4M as part of this budget amendment request.
The second, Montara Force Main Replacement Project, started preliminary design in June 2023.
In order to complete design and allocate funding for the required permitting, geotechnical and surveying work, another approximately $785,000 is being requested as part of this amendment.
The total request from SAM is $2,122,692 to fund these two IPS related projects. Of this total, Half Moon Bay’s share under the current rate structure (based on flows into the wastewater treatment plant) is $1,305,456.
The Appellate Court heard the arguments in October 2023. On December 15, 2023, the Court issued its opinion reversing the grant of summary judgment to the Districts and remanding the action back to the trial court. This was positive news for City rate payers but means further delay as there is no date set for the next court hearing. Therefore, in the interest of protecting the Half Moon Bay Collection Rate Payers, staff is recommending the City Council defer the requested budget augmentation increasing the prior approved IPS projects (Princeton Pump Station & Montara Force Main) pending either approval of a renewed stipulation authorizing the City to pay under protest while reserving its rights for final resolution in the court action. 193
CONCLUSION:
SAM staff was prepared to proceed with these projects absent a budget amendment and augmentation. The Granada and Montara Districts could also consider entering into a Stipulation and Order as the City has requested, or they can choose to fund the project in the interest of their collection systems until a settlement can be reached. The City’s deferral should not impact the delivery of these projects.
