WORK SESSION
10. Strategic Roadmap: Review and Discuss Revisions to the City's Strategic Roadmap WS 23-027
Staff report submitted by City Manager McAdoo dated May 23, 2023, was filed.
City Manager McAdoo announced the item and introduced Assistant to the City Manager Thomas who provided a synopsis of the staff report. It was noted that the final Strategic Roadmap would return to Council for approval on June 6, 2023.
Mayor Salinas opened the public comment period at 8:16 p.m.
Ms. TJ, Hayward Concerned Citizens member, spoke in support of Strategic Roadmap Project H1 (St. Regis Behavioral Health Campus); requested a Council and BACS public hearing/webinar about the aspects of St. Regis’ program, and stated that the Strategic plan should incorporate the community through quarterly pop-up townhall meetings.
Mayor Salinas closed the public comment period at 8:18 p.m.
Discussion ensued among members of the City Council and City staff about: budget allocation towards 360 evaluations and executive coaching for department heads ($92,000); possible prioritization of Project Q8+QC22 (engage owners of vacant building properties to encourage activation, starting in the downtown, and enforce against owners of empty storefronts) the need to revise the ordinance, and consultant engagement; Project H4 (continue to explore safe parking options along with encampment management); the recruitment and hiring of the twelve positions that were key to the implementation of the Strategic Roadmap; Project H9 (continue work on updating the Affordable Housing Ordinance); broadband in the downtown and possible grants to obtain higher speed internet access; Project H1 (support development of St. Regis Behavioral Health Campus to provide health and housing services to people experiencing homelessness and mental health crises) and community meetings about the project; Project C11 (work with HASPA partners to seek grant funding to implement the Shoreline Master Plan and provide an update to Council) and a work session on the Shoreline Master Plan in the fall; and consulting services for broadband scope of work.
Council Member Zermeño liked the first option for the vision statement, indicating that the second one was too short; suggested using a mission and a vision, with the shorter one as a preamble; suggested to add the word green or sustainability to the first option; requested that Council consider reordering Project Q8+QC22 (engage owners of vacant building properties to encourage activation, starting in the downtown, and enforce against owners of empty storefronts) and move it up on the priority list in order to address issues with empty storefronts; and supported the “Education City” lens.

Council Member Bonilla Jr. liked using option one of the vision statement and supported adding reference to Hayward being a green city; supported the “Education City” lens and offered punctuation modifications for questions asked when applying an “Education City” lens to a service or project such as add commas to, “create, support, or expand”, omit “If so” from the second part, and add, “or these educational opportunities” at the end of the third question; offered that if the “Education City” concept moves forward, Council might want to reprioritize Project E10 (collaborate with Hayward’s educational institutions to streamline and amplify partner communications and achievements) as the collaborations will be pivotal to realizing the impacts and benefits of becoming more of an Education City; asked to reconsider prioritizing Project H4 (continue to explore safe parking options along with encampment management) as this was an issue in the community; stated that comments related to Project R5 (prioritize Hayward's involvement in the creation of a public bank) should reflect “in FY24 the staff will begin”; suggested using sign-on bonus and locking staff in for 18 months as an incentive to fill vacancies that were key in the implementation of the Strategic Roadmap; and noted he would be comfortable reconsidering the monument gateway sign removal and replacement project and the $300,000 for consulting services for broadband at mid-year.
Council Member Syrop expressed his support for option one of the vision statement but also favored retaining the longer vision statement and echoed the comment made by Council Member Zermeño; was in alignment with the “Education City” lens and wanted to hear back from staff in a year if the framework was useful or if it could be improved; was in agreement with the gateway sign removal and replacement project but did not feel strongly about using reserve funds and wondered if this could be an opportunity for a local service club or other organizations to contribute their resources and have their name on the project; wondered if some work could be done through the KHCG Task Force on litter collection; wanted to proceed with prioritizing broadband consulting as this was an issue in the downtown business community; noted that prospective funds from the gateway sign and litter collection could be allocated towards projects that were deprioritized such as the safe parking site development project and would be comfortable using funding from reserves for additional staffing for development of a safe parking site or a consultant to help with assessing how to deal with activating vacant buildings; noted there was value for Council to be able to speak about process updates and operational improvements and did not think this should be eliminated; supported quarterly tracking of projects and hoped there could be a process for more frequent updates; noted the Project QC18+QC19 (increase the number of community meeting rooms across the city in collaboration with HUSD and HARD) did not reflect the full scope of what was written for the project, indicating the goal was to have an open campus concept such as opening up Tennyson High School after hours in partnership with HUSD and HARD; shared that Project NC10 (work with AC Transit to beautify bus shelters and improve ridership experience) was also about constructing more bus seats to improve ridership; and noted that the intent of Project EC2 (provide an informational report on the Cabaret Ordinance and Conditional Use Permits and develop recommendations to update them) was surfacing ordinances that Economic Development found were outdated. 10 | M a y 23, 2 02 3
Council Member Roche agreed to retain the longer version of the vision statement as it captured a full description of the vision and supported the first option of the vision statement, and adding to it the first paragraph of the environmental section from longer version of the vision statement; was comfortable with the “Education City” lens and appreciated the inclusion of wording regarding community and business partners to demonstrate the goal of working with educational institutions and community partners; concurred with comments made by Council Member Syrop regarding Project QC18+QC19; favored allocating funds towards the gateway sign removal and replacement as it did not represent Hayward and was amenable with this being torn down in the meantime; supported allocating funds towards litter services; and was comfortable waiting for the update to the ordinance related to vacant properties.
Council Member Andrews supported a longer version of the vision statement; appreciated language about staff having what they need to thrive in their work in both options of the vision statement; supported the “Education City” lens but was concerned about deliverables; supported a ticketing system for tracking Council/constituent requests; noted she would be amenable to revisiting consulting services for 360 evaluation for cost reasons; supported the replacement of monument gateway sign on Jackson and Silva as this had been highlighted by the KHCG Task Force as an issue; noted that $300,000 was a large sum for broadband consulting services to analyze existing conditions and supported a consultant evaluating the broadband in downtown versus the Industrial sector for a minimum scope of what the consultant could do with the suggestion that Economic Development could issue grants with some of the upfront installation costs; favored allocating funds towards a contract for expansion of litter collection services and stated that organizations such as the Downtown Streets Team created reentry program that help provide gift cards to get meals and basic needs; wished to prioritize Project Q1 (continue to implement and measure the HEART Pilot Program) noting she will continue to advocate for 24-hour service; favored prioritizing Project Q8+QC22 and suggested that public art could be incorporated into empty storefronts; received clarification about Project Q15 (design and install Heritage Plaza Art pieces to honor indigenous and Russell City heritage) and Project Q22 (work with the survivors and descendants of Russell City to determine appropriate restitution) received a lower score because they were already underway; supported prioritizing Project HC10 (work with BART to encourage Transit Oriented Development at the two Hayward stations); highlighted that the number of pipes for water and sewer had been reduced to allow for a better success rate with improving infrastructure and hoped the level of replacement would be maintained; and shared that there were Council Members interested in evaluating the downtown loop and encouraged having a realistic approach, noting there were community concerns.
Council Member Goldstein liked option one of the vision statement including the additional sentence on environment as suggested by Council Members Zermeño and Roche; stated that the longer vision statement was valuable but was too lengthy; agreed that the “Educational City” lens was a great start and supported edits offered by Council Member Bonilla Jr; supported allocations towards the replacement of the gateway sign on Jackson and Silva and consulting services for broadband analysis as these were both resident and business impacting and would enhance the business community and thereby have a direct benefit to

the whole community impacting sales tax and property tax revenues; suggested that Economic Development could reach out to businesses that were complaining about broadband and offer temporary solution while the City continues to update the Fiber Master Plan; and supported allocation to expand litter collection services such as the Downtown Streets Team noting a solution was supporting BACS to open St. Regis as soon as possible and expand the HEART program.
Mayor Salinas supported option one of the vision statement for publication purposes and agreed that language in the lengthier vision statement version constructs the future of the City and should remain on the forefront; offered the following language changes for two questions asked when applying an “Education City” lens to a service or project as follows: “How will this service, project, or policy support or expand educational and/or economic opportunities for people in Hayward? How are we collaborating with partners to facilitate and develop education and employment pathways accessible to all Hayward youth and residents?” and “How are we communicating education and economic opportunities in and around Hayward to Hayward families? What barriers do we need to remove for people to access this information?” and adding “How will we know this service, project or policy is improving educational and/or economic opportunities for Hayward youth and residents?”; shared that over the last three weeks there had been significant partnerships that had come to fruition such as the Firehouse Station No. 6, the Covenant House and Eikon Therapeutics; appreciated being mindful of potential midyear budget requests as priorities might need to be adjusted based on neighborhood survey results; highlighted the downtown focus being on cleanliness; agreed to allocate funds towards the gateway sign removal and replacement; stated that an allocation of $300,000 for consultant services around broadband and updating the Fiber Master Plan did not seem needed and expressed the greater priority was to get downtown connected to ensure that businesses are fully functional with high quality broadband through partnerships with entities such as Comcast or grants to businesses through Economic Development.
Council Member Andrews wanted to highlight events as a priority for next year to ensure the understanding of events, coordination, staffing, interaction with groups, and confirming budgets to mitigate any confusion among community groups.
Council Member Syrop was pleased with the inclusion of exploring public art staff as a priority, and wondered if the scope could include public art and events; and clarified he did not agree with spending $300,000 for a consultant to update the Fiber Master Plan, underscoring that his interest was in allocating funds towards getting downtown businesses connected.
Assistant to the City Manager Thomas summarized that the Council was supportive of option one for the vision statement with the addition of green/sustainable language; that both would be included in the budget document for formal record and indicated that for external communication the shorter vision statement would be used; noted the “Education City” lens 12 | M a y 23, 2 02 3
edits proposed by Council Member Bonilla Jr. and Mayor Salinas would be included; noted staff would provide an update on projects related to enforcement of vacant properties and safe parking; and mentioned that there was Council consensus to add high priority projects to the FY 2024 General Fund Budget with the exception of broadband consulting services, noting that staff could prepare a report with options to consider.
COUNCIL REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Council Member Andrews thanked the Hayward Police Department (HPD) for a successful catalytic converter event which was a proactive effort in addressing catalytic converter thefts.
Mayor Salinas appreciated HPD staff for making the process easy for residents.
Council Member Goldstein shared that he participated in HPD’s motorcycle ride safety class on May 20, 2023.

SUBJECT Adopt a Resolution Rescinding Implementation of Level 2 of the City of Hayward’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) rescinding Resolution 22-177 implementing Level 2 of the City of Hayward’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP).
SUMMARY
On June 28, 2022, Council adopted Resolution 22-177 implementing WSCP Level 2 measures in response to an Emergency Regulation issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). This action was taken after a significantly dry winter. The hydrologic outlook and water supply conditions have vastly improved due to very wet conditions this past winter. As a result, the SWRCB is expected to rescind the requirement for Level 2 measures in June 2023. Similarly, the City’s water supplier, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) has rescinded its declaration of a drought emergency and acted to end its implementation of Level 2 measures.
Staff has reviewed water supply updates from the SFPUC and recommends that Council adopts a resolution rescinding WSCP Level 2 measures, when the SWRCB takes the expected actions.
BACKGROUND
Hayward receives its potable water supply from the SFPUC’s Regional Water System, which is largely supplied by Sierra snowmelt that drains into the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. In addition to Hayward, the SFPUC supplies water to twenty-five other Bay Area water agencies and the City of San Francisco. Last year, after a significantly dry winter, the SFPUC adopted a system-wide 11% water use reduction requirement in order to conserve supplies.
In addition to the SFPUC’s action, the SWRCB issued an Emergency Regulation in May 2022 in response to Governor Newsom’s Executive Order (EO) N-7-22, which, among other provisions, required urban water suppliers to implement WSCP Level 2 (for supply shortages of 11% to 20%). The WSCP is a planning document designed to prepare for and respond to water shortages.
Hayward’s WSCP, adopted by Council on July 20, 2021, defines six standard water shortage levels and response actions that are to be implemented at each level. A Level 2 shortage triggers measures including:
Increased public information and outreach
Prohibition of all non-essential commercial and industrial water use, including irrigation of non-functional turf
Limiting turf irrigation to three days per week
Repair of leaks and faulty irrigation equipment within 4 days On June 28, 20221, Council adopted Resolution 22-177 to comply with the Emergency Regulation requiring implementation of Level 2 measures in the WSCP. Staff implemented the required measures primarily through enhanced public outreach and follow up on water waste complaints received from concerned residents.
DISCUSSION
Winter storms this year have significantly improved local hydrologic conditions and availability of water supplies in the SFPUC’s Regional Water System. As of April 1, snowpacks ranged from 250% to 270% of median, and the system is expected to be completely filled by July 1 and remain full through the year. Similar conditions exist throughout a large portion of the State.
In response to these improved supply conditions, Governor Newsom issued an Executive Order on March 24, 2023 rescinding relevant portions of EO N-7-22, requiring implementation of Level 2 measures. The SWRCB is expected to terminate or modify the Emergency Regulation to remove the Level 2 requirement in June 2023. Additionally, on April 11, the SFPUC took action to rescind its declaration of a drought emergency and end the 11% reduction requirement if and when the SWRCB acts. Staff has reviewed water supply updates from the SFPUC, as well as available information from the State entities, and recommends Hayward likewise rescind implementation of WSCP Level 2 measures at such time as the SWRCB acts on this issue.
While last winter saw exceptionally dry conditions, the region is actually coming to the end of a three-year drought. The Hayward community again responded to the call for reduced consumption, even though its per-capita usage continues to be among the lowest when compared to other agencies that purchase SFPUC water. Hayward’s total water deliveries in Calendar Year 2022 were lower by more than 5% as compared to 2020, which was the last normal water year.
Deliveries during the summer months, when water use is at its peak, were lower by more than 6%.
Taking the recommended action will not bring an end to Hayward’s water conservation efforts.
The City’s Water Waste Prohibition Ordinance and WSCP Level 1 measures will remain in effect.
These actions encourage ongoing efficient use of water and include practical measures such as using hoses with automatic shut-off devices, timely repair of leaks, use of pool covers, and encouraging full loads of dishes and laundry. Hayward’s commitment to water use efficiency and conservation will continue, with a wide range of incentives and ongoing public outreach and education.
ECONOMIC AND FISCAL IMPACT
1 CITY OF HAYWARD - File #: CONS 22-389 (legistar.com)
Approval of the proposed rescinding of WSCP Level 2 actions will not have an impact on customer water rates or a fiscal impact on the Water or Wastewater Operating Funds or the City’s General Fund.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item does not relate to one of the Council’s six Strategic Priorities.
SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES
Hayward customers have long supported water conservation and efficient use of this critical natural resource, regardless of water supply conditions in a given year, as evidenced by Hayward’s overall low per-capita usage. While there may be some rebounding of water use to pre-drought levels, rescinding the Level 2 measures is not expected to result in a significant increase.
PUBLIC CONTACT
This item does not require public contact.
NEXT STEPS
If Council approves this item, at such time as the SWRCB acts to remove the requirement for Level 2 measures, staff will notify the community through the City’s website and other communication methods that the measures are no longer in effect, and remind customers of the importance of ongoing water conservation and efficiency.

SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a One-Year Extension of a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the Hayward Area Shoreline Planning Agency
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to renew the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JPA) extending the Hayward Area Shoreline Planning Agency (HASPA) for a one-year term.
SUMMARY
HASPA is currently working on expanding the JPA membership and drafting a new JPA to support the implementation of the Hayward Regional Shoreline Adaptation Master Plan. Currently, there is consensus between the parties on the majority of the provisions of the draft JPA; however, a few key issues remain that require additional time for resolution. For this reason, staff recommends that Council extend the current JPA for one-year, to June 30, 2024, to allow adequate time to finalize the new agreement and allow the prospective new agencies to join. On May 11, 2023, the HASPA Board of Trustees unanimously voted to recommend an extension of the JPA for one year. If approved, this extension would allow staff to continue working on expanding JPA membership and implementing the Shoreline Adaptation Master Plan.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a One-Year Extension of a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the Hayward Area Shoreline Planning Agency
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to renew the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JPA) extending the Hayward Area Shoreline Planning Agency (HASPA) for a one-year term.
SUMMARY
HASPA is currently working on expanding the JPA membership and drafting a new JPA to support the implementation of the Hayward Regional Shoreline Adaptation Master Plan.
Currently, there is consensus between the parties on the majority of the provisions of the draft JPA; however, a few key issues remain that require additional time for resolution. For this reason, staff recommends that Council extend the current JPA for one-year, to June 30, 2024, to allow adequate time to finalize the new agreement and allow the prospective new agencies to join. On May 11, 2023, the HASPA Board of Trustees unanimously voted to recommend an extension of the JPA for one year. If approved, this extension would allow staff to continue working on expanding JPA membership and implementing the Shoreline Adaptation Master Plan.
BACKGROUND
HASPA was established in 1970 as a JPA between the City of Hayward, the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD), and the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District (HARD). The HASPA Board of Trustees is composed of three members – one from each participating agency. The current Board consists of Hayward Councilmember Francisco Zermeño, HARD Board member Paul Hodges, and EBRPD Board member Dennis Waespi. EBRPD Board member Dennis Waespi serves as the Chair of the Board of Trustees.
The JPA has historically been renewed every five years and the responsibility for administrative duties rotates among the member agencies with each renewal. The most recent renewal, effective on July 1, 20221, extended the JPA one (1) year to allow staff to work on expanding JPA membership and a new JPA agreement. The current JPA executed by the City, HARD, and EBRPD is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2023.
DISCUSSION
HASPA is working to expand the JPA membership to support the implementation of the Hayward Regional Shoreline Adaptation Master Plan, adopted by Council on February 16, 20212. The projects identified in the Plan require collaboration among several property owners and stakeholders to be successful. On July 8, 20213, the HASPA Board of Trustees authorized staff to request prospective agencies formally join the HASPA JPA. Following that action, staff-initiated agency engagement by sending invitation letters and presenting to prospective member agencies. As a result of those efforts, the Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District (ACMAD) and Oro Loma Sanitary District (OLSD) expressed interest in participating in HASPA. In addition, staff from the East Bay Dischargers Authority and Caltrans began participating on the HASPA Technical Advisory Committee.
A new JPA is needed to allow the prospective member agencies to formally join HASPA. To inform the new agreement, staff coordinated with the prospective member agencies to develop a Term Sheet. On September 1, 20224, the HASPA Board of Trustees unanimously adopted the Term Sheet for the new JPA. Following that, HASPA hired the law firm Hanson Bridgett to draft the new agreement. In early 2023, the draft agreement was reviewed by staff, legal counsels, and the HASPA Trustees. Currently, there is consensus between the parties on the majority of the provisions of the draft JPA; however, a few key issues remain including the development of tiered member agency dues and the management of HASPA. Staff, various legal counsel, and the HASPA Trustees need more time to come to final agreement with the parties in order to bring back a draft JPA which the HASPA Board can consider.
For this reason, the HASPA Board of Trustees unanimously voted on May 11, 20235 to recommend the extension of the JPA for one year. Staff is requesting Council adopt the attached resolution (Attachment II) renewing the current HASPA JPA for one year to allow staff additional time to coordinate and finalize the new JPA prior to presenting to Council for formal action in 2024.
Responsibility for coordination of HASPA meetings and activities rotates among the three member agencies every five years. The City served in this capacity from 2016 to 2021. In keeping with the traditional rotation of official duties and administrative responsibilities

among member agencies, EBRPD would continue to be the lead agency for HASPA through June 30, 2024.
Environmental Review
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, this one-year extension of the JPA does not require environmental review since there is no possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
Hayward is a desirable place to live and enjoy in large part because of the existence of the Hayward Shoreline. The activities of HASPA will continue to help ensure that the Shoreline remains accessible. The Shoreline is a regional asset that has a positive impact on the local economy by attracting hikers, bird watchers, runners, cyclists, and other community members.
FISCAL IMPACT
Renewal of the HASPA JPA would not have an impact on the City’s funds. If approved, the oneyear extension would allow the City to support coordination, implementation, and pursue grant funding associated with the Shoreline Adaptation Master Plan. Expansion of the JPA could lead to conversations about a new funding structure for HASPA. Any request for City funds, either for the administration of HASPA or the implementation of projects, will be carefully considered before being presented for consideration to Council.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item supports the Strategic Priority of “Confront Climate Crisis & Champion Environmental Justice”. This item furthers and expands on the following project identified in the Strategic Roadmap.
Project C14b: Implement Shoreline Adaptation Master Plan Renewal and expansion of the HASPA JPA would support the implementation of the adopted Master Plan.
SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES
HASPA builds resiliency to sea level rise through its coordination and planning efforts.
Additionally, HASPA supports the following sustainability related General Plan goals:
NR-1.4: The City shall coordinate with the HASPA, Bay Conservation and Development Commission, and California Coastal Commission to conserve, protect, and enhance natural and cultural resources along the San Francisco Bay shoreline by balancing uses that support multiple community needs, such as recreation, tourism, cultural resource preservation, and natural resource protection.
NR-3.2: The City shall coordinate with HASPA, EBRPD, Bay Conservation and Development Commission, California Coastal Commission, and other Federal, State, and regional agencies to identify methods for acquiring and restoring baylands and marsh habitats, expanding the National Wildlife Refuge, and funding the purchase and restoration of wetland habitats.
HAZ-4.1: The City shall monitor information from regional, State, and Federal agencies on rising sea levels in the San Francisco Bay to determine if additional adaptation strategies should be implemented to address flooding hazards. HAZ-4.3: The City shall coordinate with the Hayward Area Shoreline Planning Agency, the Bay Conservation Development Commission, and other agencies involved in the Adapting to Rising Tides Project to develop and implement a Regional Shore Realignment Master Plan.
HQL-9.9: The City shall support plans, standards, regulation, incentives, and investments to reduce the impacts of climate change on those populations most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
HQL-11.1: City shall establish and maintain an integrated recreational corridor system that connects regional trails (e.g., Bay Trail), Baylands (i.e., Hayward Regional Shoreline), local creeks and open space corridors, hillside areas, and EBRPD and HARD parks.
PUBLIC CONTACT
The one-year extension of the HASPA JPA was discussed and unanimously approved at the regular HASPA meeting on May 11, 2023. There were no public comments on this item.
NEXT STEPS
The HARD and EBRPD Boards will consider approval of the one-year extension this month. If the attached resolution is adopted by Council and approved by all three agencies, staff will ensure the one-year extension to the JPA is fully executed before June 30, 2023.

SUMMARY
In January 2018, Council authorized an agreement with JP Morgan Chase, N.A. for banking and cash management services. That agreement included a five-year term with an additional option to continue banking and cash management services for an additional three years. Due to an administrative oversight, the resolution did not give explicit authority to exercise the additional three years beyond the original contract. This contract amendment will cover the three-year extension option for banking and cash management services.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
In January 2017, the City issued aa RFP for banking and cash management services for a term of five years, with an option to amend the contract for an additional three-year term. The City received responses from five financial institutions; each institution was considered qualified based on their responses. In January 2018, JP Morgan Chase, N.A. was selected to provide banking and cash management services. The original contract with JP Morgan Chase, N.A. included a five-year term for services provided with an option to amend the agreement for an additional three years. Due to an administrative oversight, the resolution did not give explicit authority to exercise the additional options to extend the contract by three years beyond the original contract.
The City has been satisfied with the services provided by JP Morgan Chase, N.A. under the original contract, and staff is seeking to continue to receive Council authority for an additional three years for banking and cash management services.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item is a routine operational item and does not relate to a specific Strategic Roadmap project.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
There is no economic impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is sufficient funding to cover the amendment with JP Morgan Chase, N.A. for an additional three years. The cost for banking and cash management services is estimated at $350,000 annually and determined based on historical banking service activity levels and reduced by interest earnings on bank account balances. The cost for banking and cash management services is included in the Finance Department’s annual operating budget.
NEXT STEPS
If Council approves the amendment, staff will prepare the contract amendment for execution.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopts a resolution: (1) Authorizing the reallocation of $2 million in American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) funds for a down payment assistance program; and (2) Authorizing the City Manager to execute loan documents and administer the loans including subordinating, extending or modifying repayment terms to provide down payment assistance loans in an amount not-to-exceed $300,000 per loan.
SUMMARY
On April 25, 2023, the Council directed staff to reallocate $2 million of remaining housing American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) funds to provide downpayment assistance. The purpose of this report is to request authorization to provide down payment assistance loans to low-income, first-time homebuyers. Preference will be given to applicants that either live or work in the City of Hayward. The proposed down payment assistance program would provide shared appreciation loans (requiring no monthly payments) up to $300,000 per loan. If an investor can be identified for the social impact bonds program, which would use bond proceeds to acquire and rehabilitate tax defaulted, vacant or blighted properties and turn them into affordable housing opportunities, the down payment assistance may be paired with this program.

SUMMARY
On April 25, 2023, the Council directed staff to reallocate $2 million of remaining housing American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) funds to provide downpayment assistance. The purpose of this report is to request authorization to provide down payment assistance loans to low-income, first-time homebuyers. Preference will be given to applicants that either live or work in the City of Hayward. The proposed down payment assistance program would provide shared appreciation loans (requiring no monthly payments) up to $300,000 per loan. If an investor can be identified for the social impact bonds program, which would use bond proceeds to acquire and rehabilitate tax defaulted, vacant or blighted properties and turn them into affordable housing opportunities, the down payment assistance may be paired with this program.
BACKGROUND
On April 27, 2021, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the acceptance of $38 million in federal stimulus allocation under ARPA.1 On July 13, 2021, City Council approved the Hayward Federal Stimulus Expenditure Plan which included $4.25 million for housing programs.2 All funds awarded through ARPA must be obligated no later than December 31, 2024. Of the ARPA funded programs approved by City Council, staff have implemented the foreclosure prevention, emergency relocation assistance and legal assistance for tenants programs.
On March 2, 2023 and April 25, 2023, staff brought work session items to the HomelessnessHousing Task Force (HHTF) and City Council respectively with a recommendation for reallocating the remaining housing ARPA funding. 3͵4 Members of both HHTF and City Council expressed support and direction to reallocate $2 million of the remaining housing ARPA funds to establish a downpayment assistance program and revolving loan fund to assist both current and future low-income homebuyers.
DISCUSSION
The ARPA funds are intended to be used to help the community recover from the impacts of COVID-19. Analysis shows that communities of color disproportionately experienced negative financial and physical impacts fromthe pandemic. The focus of the City ARPA housing programs included helping people retain or build wealth and piloting a program to create housing opportunities from properties typically acquired by investors.
On April 25, 2023, City Council held a work session to discuss potential uses of the remaining $2 million housing ARPA funds and directed staff to use the remaining ARPA funds for a down payment assistance program and to pair it with a social impact bonds (SIB) program if an investor can be identified. The SIB program would use bond proceeds to convert distressed, vacant, and blighted properties to affordable homeownership opportunities for low- and moderate-income households. Staff are working with non-profit partners to identify an investor for the SIB program and intend to return to Council to seek authorization for the SIB program in mid-August. The purpose of this report is to seek authorization for the down

payment assistance program to ensure the City can meet the deadline to obligate ARPA funds in the event an investor is not identified for the SIB program.
Down Payment Assistance Program
Down payment assistance is one tool to address barriers to homeownership and to help mitigate the racial wealth divide. The proposed down payment assistance program would provide a shared appreciation, down payment assistance loan in an amount not to exceed $300,000. To be eligible, borrowers must be low-income, first-time homebuyers, and preference will be given to applicants that either live or work in the City of Hayward. These criteria are further explained below.
Maximum Loan Amount.Staff estimates that based on low-income limits and current interest rates, a low-income buyer may require up to $300,000 to purchase a home at or below the current median sales prices ($635,000 for a condo, $837,500 for a detached single family home).
5͵6
Shared Appreciation Loan. The shared appreciation model helps extend purchase capacity and provides the most stability in changing housing markets. At the end of the loan term or if the borrower sells, rents, or transfers the home, the borrower would pay the City the principal amount plus a share of appreciation. The City’s share of appreciation is based on the City’s proportional contribution to the purchase transaction.
First Time Homebuyer. Includes borrower(s) who have not had any ownership interest in a residential unit for the last three years. Some exceptions may apply consistent with California Department of Housing and Community Development’s definition of first-time homebuyer.
Low-Income. Income eligibility is relative to household size. Table 1 provides the incomes for households at low-income levels.

Low Income
80% AMI 78,550 89,750 100,950 112,150 121,150
Use of Loan Proceeds. To ensure that the remaining $2 million of housing ARPA funds assist future households, staff recommends establishing the program as a revolving loan fund where any loan proceeds could be provided as downpayment assistance to future eligible households.
As presented to City Council on April 25, 2023, staff intends to pair the down payment assistance program with a SIB program but if an investor is not identified and the SIB program

is not implemented, staff will implement the down payment assistance program to be used with properties sold on the open market in order to meet the deadline to obligate ARPA funds.
Conclusion
Homeownership has long been recognized as a primary pathway to wealth creation and a down payment assistance program can help historically disadvantaged groups such as low-income households, minorities, and first-time homebuyers, build equity and narrow the wealth gap.
This can have long-term positive effects on generational wealth and economic mobility in line with the intent of the originally proposed ARPA housing programs. Staff recommends reallocating $2 million in ARPA funds to establish a revolving loan fund for a down payment assistance program.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
There is no immediate economic impact with the consideration of this report.
FISCAL IMPACT
This item has no impact on the City’s General Fund. The down payment assistance program would be funded by the reallocation of a portion of unspent ARPA funds designated for housing programs.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item supports the Strategic Priority of Preserve, Protect & Produce Housing. The purpose of the Preserve, Protect & Produce Housing Initiative is to house and support people experiencing homelessness, incentivize housing production for all and protect the affordability of existing housing. This item replaces the following goals and objectives:
Objective H11g: Wealth Building/Universal Income Program
PUBLIC CONTACT
Staff received a public comment in support of the down payment assistance programs at the April 25, 2023 City Council meeting.
NEXT STEPS
Staff will continue to work with the City’s non-profit partners to find an investor for the SIB program. If an investor is available, staff will return to City Council in mid-August for authorization. Even if an investor cannot be found for the SIB program, staff anticipates the implementation of the down payment assistance program in the third quarter of 2024 if the down payment assistance program is approved by Council.

WHEREAS, on July 13, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 21-139 approving the City of Hayward Federal Stimulus Expenditure Plan for $38 million in stimulus funding and authorizing appropriation of $18.9 million in ARPA funding for immediate projects and programs, including $4.25 million for Housing programs; and WHEREAS, homeownership is recognized as a pathway to wealth creation and down payment assistance programs can help historically disadvantaged communities like lowerincome families and people of color, make homebuying more affordable and can reduce the racial wealth divide; and

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Hayward, that $2,000,000 of the Housing ARPA funds be reallocated to a down payment assistance program; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council authorizes the establishment of a revolving loan fund for down payment assistance; and

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution of Intention to Preliminarily Approve the Engineer’s Report and Assessments for Fiscal Year 2024; and Set June 27, 2023, as the Public Hearing Date for Such Actions for Consolidated Landscaping and Lighting District No. 96-1, Zones 1 through 18
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopts a resolution of intention (Attachment II) to preliminarily approve the Engineer’s report (Attachment III) and assessments for Landscaping and Lighting District No. 96-1 for FY 2024 and sets June 27th as the public hearing date.
SUMMARY
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires an annual review and update of the Engineer’s Report to set annual assessment rates for each benefit zone. Assessment rate recommendations are made based on annual expenses, required cash flow, and capital replacement requirements.
Recommended annual assessment rates cannot exceed the Maximum Base Assessment (MBA) Rate established when a zone was originally formed. The annual engineer’s report is included as Attachment III and includes a detailed summary for each of the eighteen benefit zones.
BACKGROUND
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code §22500) is a flexible tool used by local government agencies to form Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts to finance the cost and expense of operating, maintaining, and servicing landscaping (including parks), and lighting improvements in public areas. In 1996, six separate Landscaping and Lighting Districts, Benefit Zones 1-6, were consolidated into one district, Consolidated Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 96-1, “the District,” by the adoption of Resolution No. 96-63. In subsequent years, zones 7-18 were individually created and annexed into the District. This staff report and attached engineer’s report provide assessment, benefit, and budget details for each of the established eighteen zones. Table 1 on the following page provides a summary of the benefit zones, including the year in which each zone was formed and the number of assessable parcels within each zone.
DISCUSSION
Recommended changes to a zone’s annual assessment rate are based on annual expenses, required cash flow, and capital replacement requirements. When determining the annual assessment rate, staff looks at two things:
(1) Maximum Base Assessment (MBA) – The MBA is the maximum assessment rate that a parcel can be charged annually. This amount is established during the original formation of the zone.
The annual MBA can only be increased if an inflation factor was included in the original formation document.
(2) Assessment Revenue – The assessment revenue is the annual amount of revenue collected by charging each parcel an assessment rate. The assessment rate recommendation depends on review of the following three items:
a. Annual Expenses – Annual operating and maintenance expenses are estimated based on past years’ experience and future years’ estimates. Expenses include staff administration, noticing, and annual reporting.

TABLE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BENEFIT ZONES
b. Cash Flow – This is the amount of “cash” needed to pay monthly invoices when revenue is not received monthly (assessment rates are received through property tax revenues collected by Alameda County, which are transmitted to the City three times a year (January, May, and June).
c. Capital Replacement – This is the “savings account” where funds are collected and reserved each year to fund future capital replacement items. Future capital expenses are estimated based on an inventory of capital items, their useful life, and future replacement cost.
Table 2 on the following page summarizes assessment information by zone. The table provides assessment details for each zone by describing the number of parcels, if there is an annual inflation adjustment included in the MBA rate, the FY 2024 assessment rate, and the change between last year’s adopted assessment and this year’s recommended assessment.
For FY 2024, staff recommends no change to four zones (Zones: 6, 14, 15 and 18) and fourteen increases (Zones: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, and 17), based on annual expenses, required cash flow, and future capital replacement.
Proposition 218 Compliance
For FY 2024, all assessments are proposed to be levied in compliance with Proposition 218 and do not require the noticing and balloting of property owners to obtain their approval. Any future increases in the assessment amounts that would exceed the MBA amount would require noticing and balloting of property owners.
FISCAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund from this recommendation; all expenditures are paid by assessment rates in each respective zone. All zones have adequate cash balances for annual expenses, cash flow, and capital replacement at this time.

Engineer’s Report, FY 2024
Introduction
Overview
Each fiscal year an Engineer's Report (the "Report") is prepared and presented to the City of Hayward City Council (the "Council") describing the City’s Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 96-1 (the "District"). The Report details changes to the District or improvements, an estimate of the costs of the maintenance, operations, and servicing of the improvements, and the proposed budget and assessments for that fiscal year.
Through a professional service agreement with SCI Consulting Group (the “Consultant”), the City of Hayward (the “City”) has requested the Consultant prepare and file the Report for the referenced fiscal year. This is the detailed Report for Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2024 regarding the District and the proposed assessments to be levied on the properties therein to provide ongoing funding for the costs and expenses required to service and maintain landscape and lighting improvements associated with and resulting from development of properties within the District, in accordance with the proportional special benefits the properties receive from the improvements.
Following the preparation of the annual Report, a public hearing is held before the Council to allow the public an opportunity to hear and be heard regarding the District. Following consideration of all public comments and written protests at the noticed public hearing, and review of the Report, the Council may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report as submitted. Following final approval of the Report, and confirmation of the assessments, the Council shall order the levy and collection of assessments for FY 2024. In such case, the levy information will be submitted to the Alameda County Auditor/Controller and included as assessments on the property tax roll for the various services provided in FY 2024.
Background
In November 1996, the voters of California adopted Proposition 218 (the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act"), which has been codified as Articles XIII C and XIII D of the California Constitution. The 1972 Act permits the creation of benefit zones within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement" (Sec. 22547). If, in any year, the proposed annual assessments for the District exceed the maximum assessments previously approved in a Proposition 218 proceeding (or grandfathered under Proposition 218), such an assessment would be considered a new or increased assessment and be confirmed through a mailed property owner protest ballot proceeding before that new or increased assessment could be imposed.
City of Hayward
LLAD No. 96-1

Engineer’s Report, FY 2024
The following table summarizes the revenue, expenditures, and account balance by benefit zone.
Table 3 - Estimated Cash Balance Changes Per Benefit Zone Method of Apportionment
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping and street lighting improvements.
Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements."

City of Hayward
LLAD No. 96-1
Engineer’s Report, FY 2024
The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 (commencing with Section 5000)) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]."
Proposition 218 also requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. In addition, Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Because assessments are levied based on benefit, they are not considered a tax, and, therefore, are not governed by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution.
The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement" (Sec. 22547). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax." Article XIIID of the California Constitution provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements, and rights-of-ways.
Zone Classification
Each benefit zone is unique and distinguishable from other benefit zones located within the District. Each benefit zone is evaluated to determine which improvements are of a specific and direct benefit to the parcels in that benefit zone. Once the improvements have been identified, a method of spreading those costs to the benefiting parcels was developed.
As certain subdivisions develop throughout the City of Hayward, they may be annexed into an existing zone or there may be a new zone formed. Each new subdivision is evaluated to determine which improvements are of a specific and direct benefit to the parcels within the subdivision and then a determination is made whether to annex them into an existing zone or whether to form a new zone. The parcels, which benefit from the improvements, are identified and a benefit assessment spread methodology is developed to spread the costs of the improvements to the benefiting parcels.
Details of the various zones in the District, their corresponding number of parcels in each benefit zone, and the method of apportioning the costs of the improvements are in the zone description section.

LLAD No. 96-1
Engineer’s Report, FY 2024
Assessment Roll
A list of names and addresses of the owners of all parcels, and the description of each lot or parcel within the City’s Landscaping & Lighting Assessment District No. 96-1 is shown on the last equalized Property Tax Roll of the Assessor of the County of Alameda, which by reference is hereby made a part of this report.
This list is keyed to the Assessor's Parcel Numbers as shown on the Assessment Roll, which includes the proposed assessment amount for FY 2024 apportioned to each lot or parcel. The Assessment Roll is on file in the Office of the City Clerk of the City of Hayward.
Estimate of Costs
The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of construction, operation, maintenance and servicing of the public landscaping, street lighting, open space facilities, parks, trails, etc. can be recovered by the District. Incidental expenses including administration of the district, engineering fees, legal fees and all other costs associated with the construction, operation, maintenance, and servicing of the district can also be included.
The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the revenues and expenditures for the District. Funds raised by the assessments shall be used only for the purposes as stated herein. Any balance remaining on July 1 at the end of the fiscal year must be carried over to the next fiscal year.
The estimated FY 2024 revenues and expenditures for the proposed District are itemized by zone below. For a detailed breakdown of the operation, maintenance, and servicing costs for each benefit zone, please refer to the budget page following each zone’s description.

Legislative Analysis
Proposition 218 Compliance 1
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote on Taxes Act," which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. These new procedures stipulate that even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, future increases in assessments must comply with the provisions of Proposition 218. However, if an increase in the assessment was anticipated in the assessment formula (for example, to reflect the CPI or an assessment cap) then the City would be following the provisions of Proposition 218 if the assessments did not exceed the assessment formula.
All the assessments proposed within the FY 2024 Engineer’s Report are equal to or less than the Maximum Base Assessment Rate authorized; therefore, Article XIIID, Section 4 vote requirements do not apply to these proceedings.
Inflation Factor Allowance Overview
No Allowance - Five of the eighteen benefit zones (1, 2, 4, 5, 6) do not have an inflation factor allowance within their respective assessment formula to increase their Maximum Base Assessment.
Allowance - Thirteen of eighteen benefit zones (3, 7-18) have an inflation factor allowance within their respective assessment formula to increase their Maximum Base Assessment Rate annually based upon the change in the prior year’s CPI. Their inflation factor is described below.
Benefit zones 3, 7-13, 17-18 apply the February CPI-U for the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA MSA2
inflation factor. The CPI-U increase from February 2022 to February 2023 was 5.30%; therefore, a 5.30% increase was applied to the FY 2024 Maximum Base Assessment Rate for zones 3, 7-13, 17-18.

LLAD No. 96-1
Engineer’s Report, FY 2024
Benefit zones 12 annexation, 14-16 apply the December CPI-U for the San Francisco-OaklandHayward, CA MSA3 inflation factor, capped at 3.00% per fiscal year. Any change in the CPI in excess of 3.00% shall be cumulatively reserved as the “Unused CPI” and shall be used to increase the maximum authorized assessment rate in years in which the CPI is less than 3%. The CPI-U increase from December 2021 to December 2022 was 4.88%; therefore, the Maximum Base Assessment Rate for zones 12 annexation, 14-16 have been increased by 3.00%.
Noticing, Public Comment, and Public Hearing
Noticing and information regarding this report were provided via the following methods: 1) mailed a notice to all affected property owners to provide detail of their recommended FY 2024 assessment rate and to alert them to three public meetings where they could provide input (May 31, June 6, June 27), and published a legal notice in the East Bay Times on or before June 17, 2023.
On June 27, 2023, the City is proposing to hold a public hearing to provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. After the public hearing, the Council may adopt a resolution setting the annual assessment amounts as originally proposed or as modified. Following the adoption of this resolution, the final assessor’s roll will be prepared and filed with the Alameda County Auditor’s Office to be included on the FY 2024 tax roll. Payment of the assessment for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes.
All funds collected through the assessment must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this report.

Notes:
• In FY 2004, a group of property owners within Zone 3 formed a Landscape Committee. • In FY 2006, a Proposition 218 Election was held to increase the base assessment amount from $328.82 to $1,023.56 per parcel for the first three years to fund the cost of a comprehensive landscape plan (capital plan). The $694.74 increase was made up of two parts. One, an increase of $365.70 per year for maintenance; and two, an increase of $329.04 per year for capital. The three-year capital plan included 1) Bus Stop and Open Area Across Street on Fox Hollow Drive; 2) Open Area South of 28525 Fox Hollow Drive; 3) Hayward Blvd., Fairview Drive, and Barn Rock Drive.
• In FY 2009, the rate returned to $694.52 per year, which may be increased each year by inflation

FY 2024 Assessment and Income
Assessment Rate (annual charge per parcel) and Income
• The annual assessment rate is recommended to remain the same based on the City’s analysis of the financial stability of the zone.
• The per parcel charge will remain the same at zero. AMCAL has entered in contract with Bella Vista Landscape Services, Inc. (CCL # 805462) to maintain the Park in good repair and working order, and in a neat, clean, and orderly condition. AMCAL is responsible for the annual payment of the District Management cost and reimbursement to the City for the Engineer’s Report. Thus, each of the 206 parcels will be assessed at $0.00 per parcel. The Assessment District ensures adequate funding is available for the maintenance of the Park should the Developer default, not meet the maintenance standards, or if the property is sold, and the City assumes maintenance of the park
• The total annual assessment income will equal zero pursuant to the Owners Participation Agreement (OPA) for the Cadence Development. Per the OPA, AMCAL Hayward LLC (AMCAL) is responsible for the maintenance Cadence Public Park in perpetuity or for the life of the agreement. As required in Section 8.12 of the OPA, AMCAL submitted their annual Park Maintenance Plan to the City for review and approval.
• The current assessment rate is below the Maximum Base Assessment and is sufficient for maintaining levels of service and for keeping a prudent capital reserve balance. • In future years, if there is a need for additional funds, the assessment may be increased up to the Maximum Base Assessment Rate.
• Future increases above the Maximum Base Assessment would require the noticing and balloting of property owners per the requirements of Proposition 218.

SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution of Intention to Preliminarily Approve the Engineer's Report and Levy Assessments for Fiscal Year 2024 for Maintenance District No. 1 - Storm Drainage Pumping Station and Storm Drain Conduit Located at Pacheco Way, Stratford Road and Ruus Lane, and Set June 27, 2023, as the Public Hearing Date
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) to preliminary approve the Engineer’s Report and levy assessments for Fiscal Year 2024 for Maintenance District No. 1 - Storm Drainage Pumping Station and Storm Drain Conduit located at Pacheco Way, Stratford Road, and Ruus Lane, and set June 27, 2023 as the Public Hearing date.
SUMMARY
This report is being provided, as required by the Hayward Municipal Code, to preliminarily approve the Engineer’s Report, to include the FY 2024 annual assessment and budget for Maintenance District No. 1 (MD 1).
MD 1 was formed in 1995 as a financial funding mechanism to fund the ongoing operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of a Storm Water Lift Station (SWLS) in perpetuity. The SWLS was built by the developer as a condition of development for construction of the Stratford Village neighborhood. The SWLS is the only privately built SWLS in the City, built only to service the Stratford Village neighborhood.
Following construction of the facility, the Alameda County Flood Control District (County) was asked to take over ownership and maintenance of the facility since the County operated similar facilities within the City and the County. The agreement signed by both parties calls for the City to act as an intermediary, using District funds to reimburse the County for annual expenses and supply District funds annually for a capital replacement fund.
The FY 2024 assessment charged to the 174 property owners is being recommended to be levied at the maximum amount allowed by law ($243.92), which is the same as the previous year. The District’s account balance is currently negative, and staff will be analyzing options to remedy the deficit account CITY OF HAYWARD Page 1 of 2 Printed on 6/2/2023

balance. The negative balance can be contributed to the following factors:
1. The District was formed without the inclusion of an annual inflation factor in its Maximum Base Assessment Rate calculation.
2. Maintenance & Operation (M&O) charges from the County are inconsistent, and in recent years have gotten larger.
3. The Countywide System Upgrade charge to this district is $503,980.
4. The recent Proposition 218 Election to increase the assessment did not pass.

4. The recent Proposition 218 Election to increase the assessment did not pass.
5. BACKGROUND
Annual Report Compliance
In compliance with Section 10-10.25 of the Hayward Municipal Code, an annual Engineer’s Report is required to be submitted to the Council. The report is attached (Attachment III) and includes:
1. Description of the improvements to be operated, maintained, and serviced;
2. FY 2024 recommended budget;
3. FY 2024 maximum base assessment rate;
4. FY 2024 recommended assessment rate; and
5. Map of the benefit zone (assessment diagram).
Formation
On June 6, 1995, the Council ordered the formation of MD 1 to provide for the maintenance, operation, and capital repair and replacement of storm drainage improvements. A Storm Water Lift Station (SWLS) was constructed to pump storm water run-off outside the neighborhood and into a flood control channel (Ward Creek). The drainage basin includes 29.1 acres, of which 24.7 acres are residential, 1.9 acres are for a park site, and 2.5 acres are for the collector streets of Stratford Road and Ruus Lane. Pacheco Way does not drain into this basin system nor does the industrial property to the south. The total number of lots in the drainage basin is 174. The original assessment rate did not include an annual inflation factor, which impedes the District’s ability for revenue to keep up with expenses.
Following construction of the facility, the Alameda County Flood Control District (County) was asked to take over ownership and maintenance of the facility since the County operated similar facilities within the City and the County. The agreement signed by both parties calls for the City to act as an intermediary, using District funds to reimburse the County for annual expenses and supplying annual District funds to be deposited into a capital replacement fund. The storm water pumping facility includes a masonry building that houses the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System, generator, and four pumps.
Static, Unchangeable Maximum Base Assessment Rate
As part of any district formation, a base annual M&O budget is established, along with a capital replacement estimate. These figures form the basis for the Maximum Base Assessment (MBA) rate, which is the maximum charge that a parcel can be assessed annually. As costs generally increase over time by inflation, many district MBAs include an annual inflation factor in the original calculation so that the assessment revenue can keep up with increases in expenses. In the case of
this district, an inflation adjustment factor was not included in the original calculation; therefore, the MBA cannot be increased without holding a successful Proposition 218 ballot election.
Countywide System Upgrade
In 2018, the County notified the City of its Countywide System Upgrade Project. Stratford Village’s SWLS cost for this upgrade now totals $503,980. During the FY 20191, FY 20202, and FY 20213 annual reports, staff advised the Council of the proposed County charges as the estimates were provided to the City. Since the last report, the County has informed the City of another $42,281 consultant bill.
Failed Proposition 218 Election
On May 4, 2021, the Council initiated a Proposition 218 election, with results tallied on June 22, 2021. The majority of the property owners who submitted ballots rejected a low-interest, longrepayment term $379,000 transfer of funds to pay for needed capital improvements, and to add an annual inflation factor to the maximum amount that can be charged annually. The measure overwhelmingly failed, with 69% of ballots cast (45/65) rejecting the increased assessment and inclusion of an annual inflation factor.
DISCUSSION
This district was established 26 years ago and did not include an inflation factor adjustment for revenue so that income could keep pace with expenditures. Over the years, the district has struggled to pay for basic M&O costs and contribute to a capital reserve, as seen below.
M&O is performed by the County under contract. Over the years, charges for M&O have been inconsistent. In FY 2017 and 2018, M&O charges had increased so much that the City delayed payment for one year to have discussions with the County.
In April 2018, the County alerted the City of additional Stratford Village SWLS District costs. The County advised that they had commissioned consultants to complete a Pump Station Equipment Condition Assessment and were purchasing a new SCADA system which required design and construction consultants. The consultant studies and construction were systemwide, with the Stratford Village SWLS District’s charges totaling $503,980 as shown on the following page To date, two (2) payments have been made, which resulted in the depletion of the District’s capital reserve fund, leaving an outstanding balance of $379,770.

Total Cost $503,980
Less: Payments Made ($124,210)
Remaining Unpaid Balance $379,770
(Legend: Paid, Unpaid)
For FY 2024, the District will collect a net annual amount of $41,721. For FY 2024, the District will budget $48,560 in annual expenses (which includes the County estimated M&O amount of $44,856). The estimated FY 2024 ending balance is projected to be in a net negative position, as shown below.
FY 2024 Budget (Does not include $379,770 unpaid estimate from above) Starting Balance -$26,075
Net Revenue $41,721
Net Expenditures $48,560
Difference $-6,840
Ending balance -$32,915
This District does not currently have the funds, nor the ability to generate additional funds, to pay the outstanding Countywide System Upgrade Project costs. Staff has exhausted current options, which included a request for a long-term payment option from the County and/or a successful Proposition 218 Election. City staff will continue to work with Alameda County Flood Control District on solutions for the long-term solvency of the District. In addition to working with the County, staff is considering all remedies available to ensure that district assessments can adequately fund current and future maintenance, operation, and capital repairs as designed when the District was created. As part of this work, staff will lead a series of additional community meetings with a focus on community education that culminates with another Prop 218 election. To ensure the longterm fiscal and operational stability of the District, the City will consider other options, up to and including the possibility of dissolution of the District, if the Prop 218 election is unsuccessful.
FISCAL IMPACT
4 Reference: Attachment IV – County FY 2022 Annual Report, Stratford Village Storm Water Lift Station, dated February 2021.
5 Reference: Attachment V – County Invoice dated April 13, 2021.
Staff has evaluated the District’s operating balance and confirms that the account has a negative balance which will continue to be negative through FY 2024.
PUBLIC CONTACT
City staff: 1) mailed a postcard notice to property owners to let them know of the recommended FY 2024 assessment rate, and to alert them to three Public meetings where they could provide input (May 31, June 6, and June 27); 2) held a virtual community meeting via Zoom on May 31; and 3) will publish a legal notice in the East Bay Times on or before June 17, 2023.
NEXT STEPS
Following this Council meeting, the City of Hayward is proposing to hold a public hearing on June 27, 2023, to provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. After the public hearing, the Council may adopt a resolution setting the annual assessment amount as originally proposed or as modified.
Following the adoption of this resolution, the final assessor’s roll will be prepared and filed with the Alameda County Auditor’s Office to be included on the FY 2024 tax roll. Payment of the assessment for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes. All revenue collected through the assessment must be placed in a special account and can only be used for the purposes stated within this report.
If the City Council adopts the attached resolution of intention, it will hold a noticed public hearing on June 27, 2023, to consider approving the Engineer’s Report and order the levy of assessments for FY 2024.

Introduction
Overview
On January 5, 1993, by Resolution No. 93-010, the City Council approved the vesting tentative map of Tract 6472, which authorized the subdivision of land on both sides of Stratford Road into 148 single-family home lots. Conditions of approval for Tentative Map Tract 6472, which included Final Tract Maps 6472, 6560, 6682 and 6683, included provisions for storm drainage improvements and construction of an approved stormwater pumping facility. The drainage area and the stormwater pumping facility were analyzed in documents prepared by Wilsey & Ham, Civil Engineers. These documents indicated the following: the drainage basin includes 29.1 acres, of which 24.7 acres are residential, 1.9 acres are for a park site, and 2.5 acres are for the collector streets associated with Stratford Road and Ruus Lane. Pacheco Way does not drain into this drainage basin system nor does the industrial property to the south.
In addition to the 143 lots identified above, final Tract Map 6682, with a total of 31 lots located immediately to the east of Chutney Road, was also approved. Therefore, the total number of residential lots in the drainage basin is 174. In addition to the residential lots, there is a park located on one parcel of land.
On April 18, 1995, the City Council approve the preliminary Engineer’s report, and on May 23, 1995, a public meeting was held to allow affected property owners an opportunity to speak. On June 6, 1995, by Resolution No. 95-103, the City Council ordered the formation of Maintenance District No. 1 to provide for the operation and maintenance of the storm drainage improvements and the stormwater pumping facility to serve the drainage basin. The FY 1996 Engineer’s Report (formation report) included a FY 1996 Engineer’s Cost Estimate of $42,686.37.
A Storm Water Lift Station (SWLS) was constructed to pump storm water run-off for the developed area which is adjacent to the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District's (“Flood Control District”) Line B, Zone No. 3A. The plans for the lift station were approved by the City and the Flood Control District. The SWLS was designed with capacity for only the development of the area encompassing the 174 parcels. No added capacity was constructed for run-off from other areas such as the Georgian Manor and Spanish Ranch Mobile Home Parks, which are presently served by a privately owned and operated pumping facility located within each park.
City of Hayward
Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report FY 2024
An agreement between the City and the Flood Control District transferred ownership of the SWLS to the Flood Control District. The agreement states that the Flood Control District concurred with the SWLS transfer subject to the City providing the Flood Control District with the funds to operate, maintain, and provide for capital equipment replacement and for modifications that may become necessary for the optimal performance of the SWLS.
Each year the City evaluates the need to increase the annual assessment to ensure there are adequate funds to continue to provide proper operation, maintenance, and capital replacement of the storm water pumping facilities within Maintenance District No. 1. As part of this effort, no later than December 1, the Flood Control District is required to furnish the City with an itemized estimate of the cost to operate, maintain, and supplement the capital equipment replacement fund for the fiscal year commencing on the next July 1.
Should the capital equipment replacement fund be inadequate to cover unscheduled/emergency repairs, equipment replacement or modifications that are found to be necessary for the normal and safe performance of the Storm Water Lift Station (SWLS), the Flood Control District will provide the City with written notice of the need for additional funding.
Currently there are not sufficient funds to replace the Maintenance District No. 1 capital facilities when they reach the end of their useful lives.
Legislative Analysis
Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote on Taxes Act," which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 established new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.
Proposition 218 stated that any existing assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems, or vector control on or before November 6, 1996, shall be exempt from the procedures and approval process of Proposition 218, unless the assessments are increased.
Maintenance District No. 1 imposes an assessment exclusively for flood control and drainage improvements.
Proposition 218 defines increased, when applied to an assessment, as a decision by an agency that does either of the following:
Increases any applicable rate used to calculate the assessment. Revises the methodology by which the assessment is calculated, if that revision results in an increased amount being levied on any person or parcel.
