14. Community Agency Funding Process Review WS 22-025
Staff report submitted by Acting Assistant City Manager Claussen, dated June 28, 2022, was filed.
Acting Assistant City Manager Claussen announced the staff report and introduced Community Services Manager Davis who provided background and an overview of the Community Agency Funding Process, and recommendations to modify the process.
There being no public comments, Mayor Halliday opened and closed the public comment period at 7:46 p.m.
Members of the Community Services Commission and Council Members Lamnin, Márquez and Salinas were acknowledged for their review of the modifications to the Community Agency Funding (CAF) process.
Discussion ensued among members of the City Council and City staff regarding distinction between special or cultural events and arts and music events; staff time involved on re- prioritizing and redefining goals; emerging priorities and reallocation of funding; and event guidelines.
Members of the City Council offered the following comments and recommendations: identify appropriate channels to advertise available sources of funding such as through the City's website or social media platforms; consider holding events in different geographical locations; explore ways community members could submit their own events to promote inclusiveness and have them reviewed by City staff prior to being available on a community calendar; have the chart noting the difference between events and arts and music funding guidelines available to agencies when they apply for funding to minimize confusion; keep scheduled funding allocations and if an emergent priority arises, staff is not retooling the process but Council limits direction to staff for that priority through discretionary funds with a clear timeline of when funds would be available; note that safety net programs are important for residents; would be open to modifying the events guidelines as it is being implemented; create a recap document from the Community Services Commission (CS) perspective that would note the work done for historical record; there was a preference to separate out "events and arts" and "arts and music" which were redundant as music itself was a performing art; there are people in the community who would love to serve on a newly created commission focusing on arts and events that reflects the City Council's priorities on inclusiveness; consider having the CSC review the City Council roadmap at the start of the year; consider the CSC be a part of the Housing Element update process; and when reviewing agency applications add commentary on proposals that align with strategic priorities.
PUBLIC HEARING

Sale of Parcel Group 8 for Development of Affordable Housing: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Government Code Section 52201 Summary Report for the Project; and Authorizing the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute a Disposition, Development, and Loan Agreement with RCD GP IV, LLC and Parcel Group 8, L.P. for Transfer of Specified City Owned Properties and for the Development of Housing and Making Specified Findings in Association with Government Code Section 65913.4 Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act PH 22-037
Staff report submitted by Acting Assistant City Manager Claussen, dated June 28, 2022, was filed.
Acting Assistant City Manager Claussen introduced Community Services Manager Davis who provided a synopsis of the staff report related to the sale of Parcel Group 8 for development of affordable housing.
Discussion ensued among members of the City Council, City Manager McAdoo, Community Services Manager Davis, Housing Manager Morales, and Mr. Nick Cranmer with Resources for Community Development (RD) regarding: East Bay MUD would provide the water service to the development; RCD had been in conversations with the Eden Community Land Trust to identify potential tenants for the commercial space; prohibited uses for commercial space could be stated in the Disposition, Development and Loan Agreement (DDA); the City was working in partnership with HARD to perform geotechnical work and was actively working with them to transter the land; options presented to tenants and RD; work with tenants to verify income eligibility and background check to be placed in an affordable housing unit; 57-year term for repayment was tied to the 55-year affordability term of an affordable housing project; general support from the neighbors in the area; 27% of the identified units are anticipated to be affordable housing units; and the strategy for handling Parcel Group 8 in the subdivision was to maximize the purchase price on the market rate middle piece.
Mayor Halliday opened the public hearing at 8:53 p.m.
Ms. Sally Lum had questions about the number of units at the proposed development location, the number of parking spaces, traffic and transit for the people living in the area, changes in the roadway to manage the existing traffic on Foothill Boulevard, and health and safety oversight over the building.
Ms. Lillian Adams expressed concern about the earthquake impact of the project.
Ms. Ann Marris did not support the project until more research is done analyzing the impacts and benefits of the project to existing tenants, noted the DDA will have long lasting impacts on Hayward and Alameda County residents, added that community amenities, safety and traffic concerns were left unaddressed, public participation was insufficient, and urged the Council to 10 | June 28, 2022

address these concerns before approving the DDA.
Ms. Diane Dunn expressed the project description indicated there were 96 deed restricted rental units, but the low/very low-income rental units totaled 95; and asked if there will be fencing along the Carlos Bee Park expansion segment and how will this be funded and designed.
MS. Ida Alvarez, Bridge Court tenant, had concerns the presentation did not specify that tenants would be positioned back in the existing units that are rehabilitated; and wanted to ensure this was in the proposal for approval.
Mr. Carter noted he believes the community deserved further consideration and benefits and stated he did not support the proposed development next to where people would be raising kids.
Mr. Tom Ferreira, Hayward Concerned Citizens member, spoke in favor of affordable housing, commented that although Parcel Group 8 was a good starting point, more needed to be done for residents in terms of recreational amenities.
Mr. Albert Lopez, Planning Director for Alameda County, was pleased to see the project was underway and noted that Alameda County was available to address any questions.
Mayor Halliday closed the public hearing at 9:07 p.m.
Mr. Nick Cranmer stated there would be 188 residents based on the unit mix of the two properties; there are 61 parking spaces on the City parcel; approximately 10-15 spaces at the Bridge Court parcel and an additional 4-5 on street parking spaces along Grove Way; the roadway improvements include bulb outs to allow for loading and trash along Grove Way; the project was exempt from CEQA because it was a ministerial approval; all new constructior projects meet Building Code to mitigate earthquake impacts; and the intent of the language in the proposal was to ensure that residents have a path to return to their units that they currently occupy or will be offered a unity within the new construction project; and the occupancy has to be consistent with funding sources.
In response to Council Member Salinas' inquiry regarding the timeline for development of the units, Community Services Manager Davis confirmed that housing would be built on the City's side (96 new units) as well as on the County's side (at least eleven rehabilitated units). Council Member Salinas emphasized that priority be placed for existing tenants.
In response to Council Member Andrews' request to address comments made by Ms. Maris, Alameda County Planning Director Lopez stated that most comments were related to CEQA, that the County provided feedback on this previously and the City was the lead agency for the project.
In response to Council Member Lamnin's question about the antique building, Mr. Cranmer indicated this would no longer be a commercial use and option 1 was to add more units to the commercial building and demolish the building behind it and option 2 was to retain the building in the rear and demolish the building in front.
Council Member Lamnin commented that the neighborhood desired a cohesive plan and that because there were multiple agencies involved such as the City, Caltrans and Alameda County, there were some challenges, stated the goal with Route 238 parcels was to have some control over the vision of this plan and stated there was thoughtfulness with what staff had incorporated based on early conversations, and requested the conditions of approval be made available on the Route 238 project page.
Council Member Lamnin concurred with Council Member Salinas that tobacco and alcohol would not be good uses for the commercial space in the proposed development, favored any tenants that had commercial enterprises to be able to use the commercial space, and appreciated the recognition of the native people and encouraged RCD to work with the Muwekma Tribe.
Council Member Lamnin made a motion to approve the staff recommendation. Council Member Salinas seconded the motion.
Council Member Salinas stated that at the onset it was apparent that the proposed parcel would present challenges; however, the current project was a good affordable housing project. Council Member Salinas offered an amendment to the motion adding commercial space restrictions similar to those applied to the Route 238 Mission Boulevard Corridor prohibiting liquor stores, tobacco outlets, and predatory check cashing services. Council Member Lamnin was supportive of the amendment.
Council Member Wahab stated that the goal of the project was to create more housing and to not displace individuals and was reassured there were safety nets in place if the property management company failed to fulfill its obligation. Council Member Wahab commented that the proposed location already had parking challenges and could create tension in the neighborhood and asked staff to ensure that wildlife be preserved at the proposed location.
Council Member Márquez indicated that the proposed development was the best path forward as the City had to comply with the state, underscored the project was complex as not all the land was in the City's jurisdiction and required collaboration and outreach to Alameda County partners, was pleased there were multiple options available to tenants and the project would create more affordable housing.
Mayor Halliday supported the motion, hoped that the market rate housing will go forward in the future and pointed out that the development was approved administratively due to state law, and the neighborhood provided input.

Public Works Director Ameri announced the item and introduced Solid Waste Manager Krump who provided a synopsis of the staff report.
Discussion ensued among members of the City Council and City staff regarding: two employees, at the former Main Street office, have been absorbed into related operations; carts that do not meet the requirement under SB1383 and therefore would be replaced with new carts; there were approximately 100,000 containers currently in use, some could be recycled and some would be sent to landfill; illegal dumping collection process in coordination with WMAC; the potential conversion to electric trucks; the services offered at the former Main Street office for Waste Management could not be performed at City Hall; rate adjustment including a consumer price index (CPI) component each year; and the bulky pick-up service and vouchers for excess waste programs would remain the same.
Members of the City Council had the following suggestions: have the Council Sustainability Committee weigh in on placement of additional 167 Big Belly cans throughout the City; ensure that information on the rate increase is highlighted for the public and point out there are no significant increases and individuals can opt to have a smaller cart size of 20 gallons or have a lower rate for residents who are income qualified; prioritize environmental efforts and urge public education on reduction of waste; continue the partnership with the Keep Hayward Clean and Green Task Force or local schools around this issue; since no complaints had been received with the closure of the Waste Management office on Main Street in the last 2.5 years, continue with the closure as it would further save community members money.
Mayor Halliday opened the public hearing at 10:25 p.m.
Mr. Rich Fierro, Teamsters representative and Hayward resident, spoke in support of the proposed Franchise Agreement, shared the batteries used in electric trucks take up a lot of space, and noted that mulch goes through a process handled by staff which explains the associated cost.
Mr. Jim Fried, WMAC employee and Teamsters Local 70 Vice President, spoke in support of the proposed franchise contract noting WMAC employees do a great job.
Ms. Christina Segura filled out a speaker card but was not present to speak.
Mr. Brad Seeya, Public Sector Director of Waste Management, spoke in favor of extending a comprehensive agreement that took two years to develop, noted that despite SB 1383 compliance requirements there were community benefits, and added the rates were competitive with other rates in Alameda County.
In response to Council Member Andrews' inquiry about bulky pick-up service for multifamily housing, Mr. Seeya noted tenants must contact the property manager and modifying the process would result in increased costs associated with capital expenses and logistics challenges. Public Works Director Ameri shared the City of Oakland was piloting a program for multifamily housing and staff would get more information about costs and other practical impacts.
In response to Council Member Márquez's questions, Mr. Seeya shared that with the onset of COVID-19, the two employees who were at the former office were reassigned to work from home, and he would get back to Council on the number of Waste Management and TriCED employees who service Hayward.
Mr. Seeya noted WMAC would try to recycle as many disposed carts as possible, noted they have not received much feedback about the closure of the Main Street office, he added his company is evaluating how to further move materials into reusable life, the agreement will include a robust education and outreach plan, technology tools will identify customers that need additional help, and a recycling coordinator will work directly with business customers to educate how to move materials out of trash and into recycling bins. 14| June 28, 2022

Public Works Director Ameri shared the city sent 62,000 Proposition 218 notices to residents and if 50% letters are received in protest, then the City could not move forward with approval of the franchise agreement. He reported that by the closing of the meeting, 57 letters were received protesting the increase, and noted this was below the threshold for approval.
Council Member Andrews expressed her appreciation for Waste Management and their participation at community and Keep Hayward Clean and Green Task Force events; asked to explore, in the future, options enabling multi-family residents to schedule bulky pick-up service; encouraged more ways of advertising, such as placing stickers on top of cart lids; and hoped residents who submitted protests would be contacted by staff to offer support.
Council Member Wahab stressed the importance of highlighting the amount of the rate increase for the public through social media or via a press release and suggested that bulky pick-up services occur on a quarterly or a more regular and frequent basis.
Mayor Halliday appreciated the work by staff in negotiating the agreement, was surprised that no complaints had been received by the City Council about the cameras that will be installed on the trucks capturing how residents dispose of trash and hoped that it will be administered in a way to educate the public.
Council Member Lamnin concurred with the request to reach out to the 57 residents who submitted protest letters, requested that there be clear and transparent communication when cart changes occur, concurred with closing the Main Street office, connect with East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse and the artist community to get ideas on what to do with the 100,000 carts to be disposed, appreciated there would be more big belly cans, suggested posting the artwork of Earth Day contest winners on the big belly cans, urged continued work on edible od recovery, building out a local recycling intrastructure, explore the bulky pick-up servic or multifamily units, and continue to push back on organic material because of the cos involved.
