SUBJECT Adopt a Resolution Approving the Project List for FY26 Road Repair and Accountability Act (RRAA) Funding for the FY26 Pavement Improvement Project

RECOMMENDATION

That the Council approves the project list for RRAA FY26 funding for the FY26 Pavement Improvement Project (PIP).

SUMMARY

A yearly application must be submitted to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) to continue receiving RRAA funding, which must include a resolution approving a project list of street segments or defined regions of the City for the estimated revenue. The RRAA revenue estimate for FY26 is $4,000,000 and the project list includes the Hayward neighborhoods within the limits of Hesperian Blvd, Industrial Pkwy, Mission Blvd, Foothill Blvd, D St, City Limits, Hesperian Blvd, Winton Ave, Clawiter Rd, and Eden Shores Neighborhood.

BACKGROUND

On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1), the RRAA of 2017, to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs through an increase in per gallon fuel excise taxes and vehicle registration fees.

To receive each year’s SB1 apportionments, cities must apply to the CTC for the funds by submitting a tentative project list approved by resolution to the CTC. The project list must contain either a list of street segments or defined regions of the City undergoing rehabilitation, an estimated completion date for the project, and the estimated useful life of the paving methods utilized.

DISCUSSION

This project is part of the larger FY26 PIP. This project is scheduled to finalize a street list by November 2025, call for bids in February 2026, start construction in Summer 2026, and complete construction in Fall of 2026.

The RRAA revenue estimate of $4,000,000 will be used to treat the Hayward neighborhoods within the limits of Hesperian Blvd, Industrial Pkwy, Mission Blvd, Foothill Blvd, D St, City Limits, Hesperian Blvd, Winton Ave, Clawiter Rd, and Eden Shores Neighborhood. This area includes streets in very poor condition with high number of resident requests in order to improve and increase equity in distribution of City services (A St, Western Blvd, Edith St, Lilly Ave, Sycamore Ave). Preventative maintenance treatment estimated useful life is 5-10 years and pavement rehabilitation treatment estimated useful life is 10-15 years.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

This project is fully funded by the City’s CIP through RRAA and has no impact on the General Fund.

FISCAL IMPACT

The estimated revenue from RRAA for FY26 is $4,000,000. This amount will be budgeted in the recommended FY26-FY34 CIP which is scheduled to be presented to Council for adoption this June.

STRATEGIC ROADMAP

This agenda item supports the FY25 Strategic Roadmap of Invest in Infrastructure.

Specifically, this item relates to the implementation of the following project(s):

 FM2 - # of miles of bike lanes added Transportation
 FM3 - # of miles of repaving completed Transportation

SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Invoice Cloud Inc. to Extend the Term by Three Years in an Amount Not to Exceed $1,812,000, with an Option for an Additional Two- Year Extension, for a Total Amount Not-to-Exceed $3,248,000 over Five Years, to Continue Providing Utility Billing Services

RECOMMENDATION

That City Council adopts the attached resolution (Attachment II) to amend the agreement with Invoice Cloud, Inc., (Invoice Cloud) for electronic bill payment and presentment services for utility billing and extend the Initial Term by three years in an amount not-to-exceed $1,812,000, with the option for the City, at its sole discretion, to extend and increase the contract for two (2) additional years for a total amount not-to-exceed $3,248,000 over five years.

SUMMARY

The City’s current agreement with (Invoice Cloud) for electronic bill payment and presentment services for utility billing expires May 30, 2025. Staff seeks to amend this agreement to extend services for another three years, after which the City can extend and increase the contract for two additional years. Based on projected development in the City, anticipated increases in utility rates, and anticipated increases in bank fees, staff projects that an extension of the current agreement will cost up to $3,248,000 over five years.

BACKGROUND

In June 2022, the City launched WaterSmart, an online water customer portal, to provide utility customers with a single platform for viewing water usage data, online bill payment, and customizing notifications for water consumption and bills. The bill payment functionality within WaterSmart requires integration with another software-as-a-service provider, Invoice Cloud.

In addition to facilitating online payments through the water customer portal, Invoice Cloud provides a centralized platform for customers to set up automated bill payment reminders, automated bill pay (autopay), Electronic Fund Transfers (EFT) payments, Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments, online bank direct payments, and payment by phone. The implementation of Invoice Cloud also expanded payment methods for customers, who can now pay their utility bills with cash at participating retail stores or use online methods such as Venmo and Paypal.

Invoice Cloud processes 13,000 to 17,000 transactions for Hayward utility customers per month. In the past year, this platform has processed over $30.7 million in transactions.

Adoption of online payments has increased steadily over time, and most payments are now completed by either credit/debit card (54%) or EFT/ACH (34%). Approximately 40% of customers are enrolled in paperless billing.

DISCUSSION

Factors Impacting the Cost of Utility Billing Services. Utility billing service costs can be broken down into three categories of expenses: (1) monthly fees paid to Invoice Cloud for accessing the utility billing platform, (2) service charges paid to Invoice Cloud per transaction, and (3) bank fees paid to financial institutions per transaction.

The first category, monthly fees paid to Invoice Cloud, makes up around 1% of utility billing service costs. These expenses are not expected to fluctuate drastically from year to year.

Approximately 43% of expenses are associated with the second category, service charges paid to Invoice Cloud. Monthly service charges fluctuate depending on the total number of transactions, transaction amounts, and payment method. Over the next three years, staff expects service charges to increase due to the expansion of the water and sewer systems (increasing the number of transactions and invoices generated) and changes in the utility rates (increasing individual transaction amounts).

The third category, bank fees, represents roughly 56% of total utility billing service expenses and are paid directly to financial institutions, not Invoice Cloud. These costs are expected to increase incrementally on a semi-annual basis and are not negotiated by Invoice Cloud.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

With the implementation of Invoice Cloud, the City reduced the actual cost of paying bills for customers by eliminating the $3.95 convenience fee (convenience fee model) and absorbing credit/debit card transaction costs into the cost of providing water/sewer service (the fee- free model). Under the convenience fee model, the City paid about 1.87% of every card transaction amount in network fees and customers paid $3.95 per card transaction. By switching to the fee-free model and choosing to absorb network fees for customers, the City was able to take advantage of lower network fees, which are offered by financial institutions for public utilities. This reduced the amount paid in network fees to just under 1% per card transaction amount.

Other economic benefits include reducing the barrier to paying bills online by increasing the number of accepted payment methods. The City has also seen an increase in registration for automatic bill pay, which improves timeliness of payments and enhances the City’s overall revenue collection.

FISCAL IMPACT

City staff estimates that extending the Initial Term for another three years may cost up to $1,812,000. Should the City elect to extend the contract for two optional years, the cost for the five-year period is approximately $3,248,000. The table below reflects the estimated amounts needed to extend the agreement for the next five years. Expenses for utility billing services are split between the Water Operating Fund 605 (70%) and Sewer Operating Fund 610 (30%).

Estimated Costs Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4
(optional)
Year 5
(optional)
Cost to Water

$357,700 $383,600 $411,600 $441,000 $472,500

Fund 610
$153,300 $164,400 $176,400 $189,000 $202,500
Total Annual
Cost
$511,000 $548,000 $588,000 $630,000 $675,000
Not-to-exceed (NTE) amount for Years 1-3, including 10% contingency $1,812,000 Total NTE to extend for two optional years, including 10% contingency $3,248,000

The City currently pays an estimated 1.59% of every online transaction amount to provide utility billing services and the fee-free payment model. Based on projected annual growth, anticipated increases in water/sewer rates, and anticipated semiannual increases in bank fees, staff expects the per-transaction cost to increase from 1.59% to 1.63% of each online transaction dollar processed.

STRATEGIC ROADMAP

This agenda item supports the Strategic Priority of Invest in Infrastructure: Invest in Water Supplies, Sanitation Infrastructure, and Storm Sewers. Specifically, this item relates to the implementation of the following projects:

Project N19. Replace an average of 2.5 miles of water pipelines annually.

Project N20. Replace an average of 2.5 miles of sewer pipelines annually.

SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES

The online bill pay functionality is an integral part of the online water customer portal, which promotes efficient water use and enhances the City’s ability to create more targeted water conservation programs. Adoption of online bill pay and paperless billing also indirectly promote sustainable practices and reduce emissions associated with the production, transportation, and delivery of six paper bills per customer per year.

PUBLIC CONTACT

No public contact was made for this agenda item.

NEXT STEPS

If approved, the City Manager will execute Amendment No. 1 to the agreement to extend utility billing services with Invoice Cloud, Inc.

SUMMARY

The City entered into a PSA with CSG on November 18, 2016 to assist with development review. CSG has extensive experience in providing professional services for private development projects in the Bay Area. CSG has provided these services for large-scale projects in the City such as SoHay, Lincoln Landing and Parcel Groups 3 and 5, specifically in the planning and entitlement stages of projects. Due to staff vacancies and continued significant private development workload, staff is requesting an additional amendment to continue receiving these services.

BACKGROUND

Public Works staff are responsible for reviewing grading plans, subdivision maps, improvement plans, and soils and geological reports for private development projects.

Due to staff vacancies and significant private development workload, the City entered into an PSA with CSG on November 18, 2016, to provide these plan review services.

On September 19, 20171, City Council approved Amendment No. 1, increasing the original PSA amount by an additional $425,000, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $500,000, and extending the term to June 30, 2018.

On May 22, 20182, City Council approved Amendment No. 2, increasing the total not-to- exceed amount to $680,000 and extending the term to December 31, 2018.

On January 8, 20193, City Council approved Amendment No. 3, extending the term to June 30, 2019.

On June 25, 20194, City Council approved Amendment No. 4, increasing the total not-to- exceed amount to $880,000 and extending the term to June 30, 2020.

On September 22, 20205, City Council approved Amendment No. 5, increasing the total not-to-exceed amount to $1,200,000 and extending the term to June 30, 2021.

On July 06, 20216, City Council approved Amendment No. 6, increasing the total not-to- exceed amount of $1,570,000 and extending the term to June 30, 2022.

On February 01, 20227, City Council approved Amendment No. 7, increasing the total not- to-exceed amount to $1,700,000.

On May 24, 20228, City Council approved Amendment No. 8, increasing the total not-to- exceed amount to $2,100,000 and extending the term to June 30, 2023.

On May 23, 20239, City Council approved Amendment No. 9, increasing the total not-to- exceed amount to $2,412,000 and extending the term to June 30, 2024.

On June 25, 202410, City Council approved Amendment No. 10, increasing the total not-to- exceed amount to $2,604,000 and extending the term to June 30, 2025.

DISCUSSION

The current PSA with CSG for development plan check and review services is effective through June 30, 2025, as authorized under Amendment No. 10, approved in June 2024.

At the time, staff estimated that consultant support would be needed at approximately 20 hours per week. However, due to ongoing staffing shortages in the Public Works & Utilities and Development Services Departments, along with a sustained high volume of

private development activity, staff has required approximately 24 hours per week (or three days per week) of support from CSG.

CSG continues to be a valuable resource due to their familiarity with the City’s Municipal Code, their experience with private development projects, and their knowledge of the City’s development review processes and procedures. Their ongoing support has not only helped maintain service levels but has also assisted in onboarding new staff and improving internal processes.

Staff now requests approval of Amendment No. 11 to increase the contract amount by $120,000 to account for the higher level of service needed through the end of July 2025.

The revised not-to-exceed contract amount will be $2,724,000.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

This PSA facilitates timely development in the City, which impacts and improves the local economy.

FISCAL IMPACT

This item will have minimal impact on the General Fund. Given that private consultant hourly rates are typically much higher than City staff’s rates for comparable positions, consultant fees are not fully recovered through charges to projects. However, staff anticipates that most of these expenses will be offset by charges to developers, which replenish the General Fund.

Staff will be evaluating the approach taken in current charging practices for development review and will adjust accordingly in order to reduce the impact on the General Fund.

STRATEGIC ROADMAP

This agenda item supports the Strategic Priorities to Grow the Economy, Preserve, Protect & Produce Housing for All, and Invest in Infrastructure by providing professional services to the Development Services and Public Works & Utilities Departments. As part of the aforementioned goals this PSA will assist in finalizing planning on redevelopment of three remaining parcel groups (Parcel 6 and 9). Additionally, this PSA will help with the review of the development applications that promote housing for all.

By receiving professional services from CSG, the City is taking steps to improve infrastructure within the City. CSG will play a key role in reviewing and conditioning large developments projects, improving Hayward’s utilities, and advancing street improvements, including traffic calming initiatives.

PUBLIC CONTACT

No public contact has been made related to this amendment.

NEXT STEPS

If City Council approves this request, the City Manager will execute an Amendment No. 11 to the PSA with CSG to increase the PSA by $120,000 for a not-to-exceed amount to $2,724,000 and extend the agreement to July 31, 2025.

There is no General Fund contribution to this project.

BACKGROUND

On April 23, 20241, staff recommended City Council approve a project list for the SB1 FY 2024-2025 PIP Funding. A resolution was required to apply to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) to receive an estimated $4,000,000 in funding for pavement improvement.

On April 23, 20242, staff recommended that City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 6 to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Pavement Engineering, Inc., (PEI) for engineering services associated with the FY 2024-2025 PIP. The scope of work for PEI is limited to engineering review, pavement evaluation, measurement of field quantities, curb ramp design, and construction support.

On February 25, 20253, City Council approved the plans and specifications for the FY25 PIP and calls for bids to be received on March 25, 2025.

On March 14, 2025, staff issued Addendum No. 1 to revise plans and specifications consisting of revisions to plans, bid quantities, engineer’s estimate, and provided supplemental information for bidders.

On March 25, 2025, six (6) bids were received, three of six bids were under the Engineer’s Estimate. DSG, of Dublin, Ca submitted the lowest bid in the amount of $12,570,061 which is $369,939, or 2.9%, under the Engineer’s Estimate of $12,940,000. Bay Cities Paving & Grading, Inc. of Concord, submitted the second lowest bid in the amount of $12,665,074.62 which is 2.1% under the Engineer’s Estimate.

The PIP involves one of four types of treatments:

Pavement Rehabilitation:

1) Standard overlay of the existing street pavement with new Hot Mix Asphalt surfacing.
2) Cold-In-Place Recycling (CIR), which involves removing the top layer of asphalt, mixing the removed aggregates with a recycling agent and other additives on-site, replacing this pavement material onto the same roadway, then applying a Hot Mix Asphalt overlay.
3) Full Depth Reclamation (FDR), which consists of pulverizing and mixing distressed asphalt and underlying pavement materials with or without the addition of stabilizing agents; using the resulting material as a base for the renewed pavement structure and adding a new Hot Mix Asphalt cap.

Preventive Maintenance:

4) Varying combinations of: crack sealing, 6” spot repair and micro-surfacing.

Street selection for the PIP is based on staff’s analysis using several criteria described below:

 Technology – The Pavement Management Program (PMP)4 evaluates current and predicts future roadway conditions. It provides logical and efficient methods of identifying street rehabilitation needs. It also determines the most cost-effective allocation of funds to the street segments needing preventive maintenance, rehabilitation or reconstruction. Staff utilized the PMP to compile an initial list of recommended streets. This list is then revised to consider other criteria and project budget allocation parameters.

 Social Equity – Whether a particular area of the City has received its fair share of improvements in the past.

 Internal Reports - Reports from the City’s Maintenance Services staff on streets needing repair were considered.

 City Council Members Input – City Council member requests for selecting streets were considered.

 Public Input - Public requests for selecting streets were considered.

 Geographic Location – Selecting streets in close vicinity to help lower construction bids was considered.

 Funding Availability – Available funding and potential for obtaining outside grant funding was evaluated.

The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is an overall rating of road conditions. The PCI of each arterial and collector street segment is evaluated by an independent third-party every other year, and each residential street segment is evaluated every five years.

PCI Rating Description

100 This rating is given to newly constructed or rehabilitated roadways.

85 - 99 Highly functional roadway. No action required.

70 - 85 Roadway can be maintained ("preventive maintenance") with crack sealing, slurry seals, micro-surfacing, and some minor, localized pothole repairs. As the roadway pavement ages, preventive maintenance may not be effective after a few maintenance cycles.

4 The PMP is a Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) recommended software program.

40 - 70 Extensive "dig-outs," grinding, fabric, or asphalt overlays may be required to maintain (or "rehabilitate") roadways.

0 - 40 Roadway requires complete reconstruction using full depth reconstruction, cold in place recycling, or hot in-place recycling methods. If a street deteriorates beyond certain points, it becomes progressively more expensive to bring that street back to the desired standard.

DISCUSSION

The FY25 PIP focuses on enhancing the streets in the Mission Garin neighborhood, the Southwest Industrial district, and several arterial roads including portions of Industrial Parkway and Winton Avenue. The FY25 PIP aims to promote social equity by paving collector and arterial streets in proximity to lower socioeconomic areas, including Gading Rd, Cypress Rd, and Industrial Pkwy.

Staff has engaged an experienced consultant, Pavement Engineering, Inc., (PEI) to validate the selection of street segments and assess the approximate level of treatment required for each. Additionally, PEI will provide essential engineering and construction support services throughout the project.

4.7 centerline miles of bike lane striping will be installed at the following locations:

1.9 centerline miles of Class II Bike Lanes:
 Amador St, Elmhurst St to Winton Av (0.2 miles)
 Clawiter Rd, Breakwater Av to SPRR Tracks (0.7 miles)  Cypress Ave, Harder Rd to Jackson St (0.4 miles)
 Gading Rd, W. Harder Rd to Schafer Rd (0.6 miles)

2.8 centerline miles of Class IV Bike Lanes:
 D St, Watkins St to Winton Ave (0.6 miles)
 Hayward Blvd, Carlos Bee Blvd to Farm Hill Dr (1.0miles)4  Industrial Pkwy, Huntwood Av to Mission Blvd (0.8 miles)  Winton Av, D St to Amador St (0.4 miles)

This project is categorically exempt from environmental review under Section 15301(c) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines for the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing facilities.

On November 15, 2016, City Council passed a resolution authorizing a Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) with the Alameda County Building Trades Council (BTC), which applies to City projects with construction costs of $1,000,000 or more. The agreement requires contractors to use local union hiring halls, encourages contractors to

employ Hayward residents or Hayward Unified School District graduates, and requires hired workers to pay union dues and other benefit trust fund contributions, etc. The construction engineer’s estimate for the FY25 PIP is more than $1,000,000, the CWA agreement applies to this project.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The project is funded by City’s CIP Program and State RRAA (SB1) funds.

FISCAL IMPACT

Estimated project costs are as follows:

Design and Contract Administration $530,000
Construction Inspection and Testing $450,000
DSG Construction Bid $12,570,061
Construction Contingency $949,939
Total: $14,500,000

The project is funded by City’s CIP Program with Direct Local Distribution (Gas Tax, Measure BB, vehicle registration fees) and State RRAA (SB1) funds. There is no impact on the General Fund.

The estimated project funding sources are as follows:

210 - Gas Tax $550,000
211 – RRAA (SB1) $4,300,000
212 - Measure BB – Local Transportation $7,310,000
218 – Vehicle Registration Fee $840,000
450 – Street System Improvements $1,500,000
Total: $14,500,000

Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement with Griffin Structures for Assessment and Planning Services for the Corporation Yard Needs Assessment Project in a Not-to-Exceed Amount of $230,000 and an Appropriate Additional $109,000, from Water Improvement Fund 604 to Project No. 07103

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement (PSA) with Griffin Structures for the needs assessment and master planning services in an amount not-to-exceed $230,000 and to appropriate an additional $100,000 for the Corporation Yard Needs Assessment Project, Project No. 07103.

SUMMARY
The City’sCorporation Yard, a critical facility supporting multiple departments and divisions including Fleet Services, Utilities Operations and Maintenance, Environmental Services, Landscape Department, Animal Control, Police Department Evidence Room, Water Department, and Street Maintenance, has surpassed its useful life and no longer meets the operational needs of the City.

SUBJECT Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement with Griffin Structures for Assessment and Planning Services for the Corporation Yard Needs Assessment Project in an Amount Not-to-Exceed $230,000 and Appropriate an Additional $109,000, from Water Improvement Fund 604 to Project No. 07103

RECOMMENDATION

That City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement (PSA) with Griffin Structures for the needs assessment and master planning services in an amount not-to-exceed $230,000 and to appropriate an additional $100,000 for the Corporation Yard Needs Assessment Project, Project No. 07103.

SUMMARY

The City’s Corporation Yard, a critical facility supporting multiple departments and divisions including Fleet Services, Utilities Operations and Maintenance, Environmental Services, Landscape Department, Animal Control, Police Department Evidence Room, Water Department, and Street Maintenance, has surpassed its useful life and no longer meets the operational needs of the City. To address this, staff proposes engaging Griffin Structures to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment. The assessment will evaluate current conditions, identify deficiencies, and develop recommendations and a conceptual site design to encompass not only the current staffing needs but also be designed and built to accommodate future growth.

A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued on December 17, 2024, and five qualified proposals were received on January 28, 2025. After review, staff recommends Griffin Structures based on their expertise in facility assessments, experience with local municipalities, and responsiveness to the RFP.

BACKGROUND

The Corporation Yard, which was initially constructed in the 1960s, primarily houses essential Maintenance Services Department and Public Works Utilities Division functions, including equipment storage, maintenance, and administrative offices. Other departments including Animal Services and the Hayward Police Department also occupy this space. The Corporation Yard with aging infrastructure, inadequate space, and outdated systems is functionally obsolete. This hinders operational efficiency and poses significant safety risks.

The needs assessment is the first step in the process of modernizing and replacing the facility to align with current and future needs. The project will provide a roadmap for subsequent phases, including conceptual facility and site design that will accommodate current staffing levels, allow for future growth, and incorporate sustainable design standards, including LEED Silver certification.

DISCUSSION

The needs assessment will include:

 Conducting a thorough assessment of existing site conditions to evaluate those conditions and functional deficiencies.
 Analyzing space requirements for current and future operations and developing a Master Plan and Building Program tailored to the City’s operational needs.  Providing a conceptual design that incorporates sustainable features.  Preparing a high-level cost analysis and a phased construction plan to ensure uninterrupted operations during implementation.

On December 17, 2024, the City issued an RFP on the City’s OpenGov platform for the needs assessment project. On January 28, 2025,five proposals were received from Griffin Structures, Object Projects, GHD, Stantec, and Barthos Architecture with consultant fees ranging from $168,930 to $258,188. Griffin Structures demonstrated the strongest qualifications, with a proven track record in similar assessments and project delivery for local municipal facilities.

Staff recommends Council authorize the City Manager to execute a PSA with Griffin Structures in the not-to-exceed amount of $230,000.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

Modernizing and replacing the Corporation Yard will enhance operational efficiency and improve working conditions for staff. A modern facility can also support local economic activity during construction.

FISCAL IMPACT

This will have no impact on the General Fund. This project is funded by the Water Improvement Fund, Fund 604. The total project cost is as follows:

Project Cost
Engineering Services – Consultant $230,000
Design Contingency (15%) $30,0000
Subtotal $260,000

Staff Costs (15%) $35,000

TOTAL $295,000

An additional appropriation is needed to cover the cost of the new project estimate of $295,000. Fund 604, Water Improvement Fund has enough fund balance to cover this additional expense.

STRATEGIC ROADMAP

This item supports the Strategic Roadmap to Invest in Infrastructure.

Specifically, this item relates to the implementation of the following project:

Invest in City Facilities and Property
Project N16: Provide the CIC with a needs assessment/preliminary feasibility report on a new Corporation Yard

SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES

This new facility will be reviewed by the Building Division for conformance with State and local requirements related to sustainability (i.e., California Building Code, California Energy Code, etc.) which require a certain level of energy efficiency, resource conservation, material recycling, etc. In alignment with City policies, the facility will be all electric (no natural gas infrastructure) and will include sufficient solar to be a zero net energy facility.

The facility will also have electric vehicle (EV) charging with at least 20% of the parking spaces with either chargers installed or being EV capable. In addition, the building will be designed and constructed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards for a Silver Certification, or better.

PUBLIC CONTACT

While the Corporation Yard Needs Assessment is primarily an internal project, staff will engage all stakeholders, including Public Works and Maintenance Services employees, during the process. Presentations will be made to Council and Council Infrastructure Committee.

SUMMARY

The Hayward Operated Paratransit (HOP) program, administer ed by the City’s Community Services Division and funded through the Alameda Cou nty Measure BB sales tax, provides transportation to senior and disabled Hayward and unincorporated mid-County residents who are unable to use public transit. This report includes an overview of the HOP program’s FY 2025- 2026 Annual Paratransit Program Plan (PPP) submitted to the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC); outlines the need for additional ride subsidies based on significant year- over-year increases in HOP ridership; and describes a new mobility management program and marketing efforts beginning in Q4 of FY 2024-2025 in order to support a full launch of services for July 1, 2025. The report is a follow -up to a December City Council item describing the FY

2024-2025 Request for Proposals (RFP) process and soft launch of certain new services in order to meet resident demand.

The HOP program has proposed a budget of $1,559,403 to ACTC for FY 2025-2026. The Measure BB funding estimates are summarized by category in Table 1, below.

Table 1. FY 2025-2026 Summary Estimated HOP Expenses and Funding

PROGRAM PROVIDER AMOUNT
Administrative Expenses (Salaries & Benefits, Services & Supplies) 428,790 Direct Transportation Services 830,613
Other Mobility Services Subtotal 300,000
Total Estimated Budget 1,559,403
(ACTC Measure BB Estimated Direct Local Distribution Revenue) (2,090,827) (Increase)/Decrease to Measure BB Fund Balance (531,424)

Estimated expenses provided to ACTC may change in Fiscal Year 2025-2026, particularly due to significant ongoing increases in ridership, which may require both additional staff time for program administration and increases to subsidies provided for HOP rides. HOP may request additional funds from the Measure BB fund balance at Mid-Year based on demand.

Increases in enrollment and ridership have increased both administrative costs and subsidy amounts in FY 2024-2025. The number of enrolled active riders increased from 868 at the end of FY 2023-2024 to 1,160 as of the end of February 2025, an increase of 34%. Riders have also made more frequent use of HOP, requesting 8,164 subsidized rides between July 1 and December 31, 2024, compared to 3,036 by the same po int last year, an increase of 169%.

Significant increases in the amount of subsidies expended in January and February imply further growth in the second half of FY 2024-2025.

In December 2024, to meet demand and maintain the service hours established in F Y 2023- 2024, the City amended its agreement with Eden I&R to support customer service staff and increase available subsidies. Based on the January and February ride volume, the agreement is expected to exhaust its additional subsidy funding in mid-April. Staff recommend an additional amendment to the agreement in the amount of $90,000 to allow for continued ride subsidies through the end of the fiscal year.

Demand for HOP services has also impacted staff’s ability to complete enrollments and aid eligible residents in a timely manner. The population served by the HOP program is comprised of seniors and individuals with disabilities, with 98% of enrolled riders who have provided income information falling below the HUD threshold for Very Low-Income for Alameda County, and 30% of enrolled riders reporting a primary language other than English. Very Low-Income riders are encouraged to enroll in the means-based fare program, but this requires enrollees to provide additional documentation. Staff capacit y to offer support for languages other than English, Spanish, and Cantonese is limited. In addition, eligible adults under age 70 with a disability are also required to provide a certification form completed by a doctor, case manager,

or other health or social service professional familiar with the prospective enrollee. Additionally, the planned launch of extensive new services and migration from requesting HOP services through Alameda County 211 operated by Eden I&R to a dedicated toll-free number operated by Onward Health, Inc. will require additional rider education as well as revisions to all existing HOP marketing materials, web resources, and publicity items.

To assist the growing number of enrollments for eligible disabled, low -income, or limited English adults, and to help manage communications and technical assistance during the transition to Onward, staff is piloting a mobility management program. The program will be provided by community partners Community Resources for Independent Living (CRIL) and Glad Tidings Community Development Corporation. These providers will leverage their existing community health , service referral , and multi -lingual support infrastructure to perform outreach to eligible residents and provide technical assistance enrolling in HOP and East Bay Paratransit (EBP) transportation services. These services were planned to launch in FY 2025- 2026; however, given continued increases in the volume of applications requiring specialized support, staff recommend entering into an agreement with Glad Tidings and amending the scope of work for CRIL’s existing paratransit agreement for the remainder of FY 2025-2026.

Staff requests an appropriation of $118,057 from the existing Measure BB fund balance of approximately $7.5 million to support the mobility management agreement with Glad Tidings, procure professional services to update the copy and design of existing marketing materials, printing of collateral and publicity items to support outreach efforts, and incorporating automated voice, text, and email capabilities into HOP’s outreach and education plan. The Measure BB fund balance is comprised of unspent Direct Local Distribution (DLD) funds from prior years and intended to support paratransit services. This appropriation will have no impact on the City’s General Fund.

BACKGROUND

In 2000, Alameda County voters approved Measure B, a half-cent transportation sales tax which would be in effect for twenty years beginning on April 1, 2002. The transportation sales tax was augmented in November 2014 with the passing of Measure BB. Measure BB would implement an additional half-cent sales tax beginning April 1, 2015, then increase to a full cent on April 1, 2022. The increase to Measure BB was designed to coincide with the sunsetting of the original Measure B and ensure a continuous source of funding for local transportation projects through March 31, 2045. Measure B and BB funds, along with Vehicle Registration Fees, are awarded by Alameda CTC to Cities through Direct Local Distribution (DLD) payments to support Bicycle and Pedestrian; Local Streets and Roads; Transit; and Paratransit programs.

Administered by the Community Services Division (CSD), the Measure BB-funded HOP program provides transportation and related services to seniors ages 70 and over and residents with certified disabilities who live in Hayward and the surrounding unincorporated areas. The HOP program complements the EBP system mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

EBP is required to provide pre-scheduled, fixed-route services to individuals with a disability residing within three-quarters of a mile from a designated Alameda County Transit (AC Transit) or Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) stop. Local paratransit programs such as HOP provide service

to qualifying residents who live outside of a three-quarter mile radius of a transit stop. The City of Hayward submits an Annual Paratransit Program Plan (PPP) to the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) detailing the proposed parameters of paratransit service for seniors (70+) and people with certified disabilities. In February, the City of Hayward submitted its Annual PPP to ACTC, detailing the HOP program’s proposed paratransit services for adults over 70 and individuals with disabilities. Staff will present the HOP PPP to the ACTC Paratransit Advisory and Planning Committee (PAPCO) for approval on April 28, 2025.

On September 5, 2024, CSD published a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Paratransit Services.

The RFP called for proposals both to continue operation of existing services and to implement new and returning paratransit services. Firms were invited to bid for multiple services. Based on an evaluation of the responsive proposals submitted, on December 17, 2025 , staff recommended that City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Onward Health, Inc (Onward) to restore discontinued services in Q4 of FY 2024-2025. 1 Staff also recommended an agreement with Onward for provision of both new and existing direct transportation services beginning in FY 2025-2026.

As part of the December 17, 2025, report, staff also recommended an amendment to the City’s agreement with Eden I&R for the provision of transportation network company (TNC) ride scheduling and coordination for HOP participants. This amendment increased the agreement by $180,000 to a not-to-exceed total of $452,619, in response to both increased demand and Eden I&R’s loss of other funding sources to support personnel assigned to the HOP program. Without additional funding, the HOP program would have had to scale back its 2023-2024 expansion of operating hours to include evenings and weekends. The amendment drew on existing Measure BB appropriations, with $110,000 earmarked for personnel expenses and $70,000 in additional subsides for HOP riders. In the same report, staff also discussed plans to implement a mobility management program in partnership with local no nprofits. These programs would include providing referrals and program information, assistance with enrollment, and training in the use of HOP services, and are established by ACTC as an eligible use of Measure BB funds.

DISCUSSION

FY 2025-2026 HOP Paratransit Program Plan
HOP provides paratransit and related services to eligible enrolled residents and their attendants who live in Hayward and the unincorporated areas of San Leandro, Castro Valley, San Lorenzo, Ashland, Cherryland, and Fairview. Per ACTC Implementation Guidelines, HOP is available to seniors (70+) and individuals between the ages of eighteen (18) and sixty-nine (69) years old with a certified disability and unable to drive or use public transportation. HOP’s anticipated programs and budget are outlined in Table 2.

Total Estimated Budget 1,559,403
ACTC Measure BB Estimated Direct Local Distribution Revenue (2,090,827) (Increase)/Decrease to Measure BB Fund Balance (531,424)

Estimated expenses provided to ACTC may change in Fiscal Year 2025-2026, particularly due to significant ongoing increases in ridership, which may require both additional staff time for program administration and increases to subsidies provided for HOP rid es. CSD staff may request additional funds from the Measure BB fund balance at Mid-Year based on demand.

Attachment III includes a comparison of HOP program funding by category and service for both the FY 2024 -2025 and FY 2025 -2026. Note that there are significant changes to funding distribution between services to more accurately reflect actual expenses. The first of these is the shifting of salary and benefit allocations for the Community Programs Specialist and Senior Secretary from Program Administration, which had previously included all staff allocations, to Customer Service, Research, Marketing, and Data Collection, which had included only marketing, printing, and mailing expenses in prior years. This has no impact to the staffing allocations but instead better reflects the City’s administrative expenses. The second major change is a shift of funding from HOP Concierge to HOP WAV rides to account for 1) a revised estimate of the cost of a WAV program and 2) Non-Emergency Medical Transport (NEMT) services provided on a case-by-case basis by Eden I&R for essential travel by wheelchair users being discontinued in favor of dedicated WAV services through Onward.

In its FY 2025-2026 PPP, HOP proposes the following services:

 TNC Curb-to-Curb Service: Riders capable of independently waiting at the curb and entering/exiting vehicles will be provided with subsidized rides through Uber.

Beginning in FY 2025-26, all ride services will migrate to a unified, flat pricing model based on origin and destination. HOP riders will be provided with up to 40 one-way rides per month.

 Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) Service: Riders using heavy/powered

mobility devices will be provided with subsidized rides in specialized vehicles with trained drivers . Rides will be provided through a network of WAV contractors coordinated by Onward. HOP riders requiring WAV rides may receive up to 20 one- way rides per month.

 Companion Rides: Riders who can not independently reach the curb or need assistance entering or exiting vehicles or arriving at their destination will be eligible for rides with assistance from certified drivers trained in First Aid, CPR, and Healthcare Assist ance training. These rides will be provided directly by Onward’s Companion Ride fleet. Enrolled residents who need assistance will be eligible for up to 20 rides per month.

 Group Trips: Riders who would like to travel in groups of four or more will have t he ability to coordinate multiple synchronized and appropriate vehicles based on the needs of their group. Group trips not only allow social opportunities but also reduce City subsidies by encouraging multiple riders in a single vehicle.

 Telephone and Self-Service Ride Requests: Riders will have the ability to request any of the available direct transportation services by calling in to Onward’s call center, visiting an ordering website, or using text-to-ride. Call center services will be available daily from 6am to 8pm. Self-service options will allow for rides to be requested 24/7.

 Travel training: Mobility management materials (both printed and online) developed by Onward in cooperation with staff as well as classes and curricula will be created to educate riders about mobility options. These will be available to individual riders as part of workshops, or through community groups such as senior centers and churches.

 Mobility Management Services: Mobility Management services will be offered by Community Resources for Independent Living (CRIL) and Glad Tidings Community Development Corporation. These community partners will leverage their existing community health and service referral infrastructure to assist eligible riders belonging to vulnerable populations with enrollment in HOP and EBP.

 Service Opportunities for Seniors (SOS) Meals on Wheels: The long-standing Meals on Wheels program provides nutritionally balanced meals to homebound seniors residing in the Hayward service area through a network of trained drivers.

 Means-Based Fare subsidy program: For eligible extremely low-income riders, the City will fully subsidize the travel they need to carry out necessary errands and activities. To qualify, clients must meet HUD/federal income limits for Alameda County and submit income documentation.

Success in Outreach and Growing HOP Demand
HOP registrations increased significantly in FY 2023-24, with 215 new riders enrolled in FY 2023-2024, compared to a prior three-year average of annual 102 enrollments. As of February

2025, staff have enrolled 292 new riders, which already exceeds the total number of riders added in all of FY 2023-2024 and puts HOP on track to add over 400 riders this fiscal year. Staff expect that the number of active HOP ri ders will continue to grow exponentially in FY 2025- 2026.

HOP’s growth can be attributed to several factors that began in FY 2023-2024. FY 2023-2024 saw a continued increase from prior years in the number of rides taken for purposes other than medical and social service needs. This indicates participants’ greater comfort with the HOP program and participation in the post-pandemic local economy. Staff have also put a greater focus on outreach because of a program evaluation completed in early 2024, including adjusting the focus of a Community Programs Specialist and re-evaluating marketing efforts. The focus on outreach has been especially impactful, resulting in positive word-of-mouth about the HOP program.

The growth trend can easily be seen in enrollment and ridership data for the first half of FY 2024- 2025. The number of enrolled active riders increased from 868 at the end of FY 2023-2024 to 1,160 as of the end of February 2025, an increase of 34%. Riders have also made more frequent use of HOP, requesting 8,164 subsidized rides between July 1 and December 31, 2024, compared to 3,036 by the same point last year, an increase of 169%. By the end of the current fiscal year, staff anticipate that HOP will reach approximately 1,400 eligible riders and 16,000 one -way rides.

In FY 2025 -26, enrollment is expected to increase further due to the full launch of highly anticipated new ride services; a major refresh of marketing materials and outreach efforts to accompany this launch; institution of a more affordable fare structure; and enrollment assistance offered through the new mobility management program. HOP staff anticipate reaching the target of 2,000 active riders recommended by the program evaluation by the end of FY 2025-26.

Eden I&R Request for Additional Subsidies
In 2024, in response to feedback from HOP riders and enabled by State funding sources, Eden I&R offered to expand its HOP operating hours from Monday to Friday 8:15 AM to 5:30 PM to include evenings until 9 :00 PM and weekends from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Staff agreed to implement this change as a means of offering riders with additional access and flexibility, which was a recommendation in the recently completed HOP program evaluation. Riders responded well to the change in operating hours, which enabled new travel opportunities such as returning from work or school for disabled riders or attending church or other weekend events. This change in operating hours was reflected in the City’s FY 2024-2025 agreement with Eden I&R.

Given rapid ridership growth in the last two quarters of FY 2023-2024, Eden I&R and HOP staff closely monitored rider data in the early months of the current fiscal year to determine if additional funds for ride subsidies would be required. Subsidies for riders are included in the annual agreement, with Eden I&R paying the City’s portion of the ride cost, then requesting reimbursement monthly.

On October 29, 2024, Eden I&R informed staff that the State funding that had supported the operating hours expansion was no longer available. In response, City Council adopted a

resolution amending Eden I&R’s FY 2024 -2025 agreement. The amendment increase d the agreement’s not-to-exceed amount by $180,000 from $272,619 to $452,619. Of this increase, $110,000 was designated to support Eden I&R’s evening and weekend staffing and $70,000 was allocated to rider subsidies.

Despite an increase in the amount of funding available for rider subsidies, ridership and demand has outpaced the estimates developed in December. From July through December of 2024, Eden I&R was reimbursed for an average of $14,925 per month, as compared to a monthly average of $6,250 per month in FY 2023-2024. Based on requests for reimbursement filed for the first two months of 2025, both ridership and rider subsidies have increased substantially in the new year.

Subsidy amounts grew to $21,899 in January and $21,551 in February, nearly exhausting approximately 62% of the new funds dedicated to rider s ubsidies as part of the December amendment. Staff projects that the remaining $36,550 in available subsidies will only support the HOP program through mid-April. To continue to provide HOP rides with the same level of service, staff estimates an appropriation of $90,000 of Measure BB fund balance will cover the subsidies for Q4 while allowing flexibility for continued ridership growth.

For FY 2025-2026, the City’s Measure BB allocation is approximately $2.1 million, versus the total $1.6 million budget for HOP . The unbudgeted portion of the City’s Measure BB DLD revenue, $531,424, will accrue to the Measure BB fund reserve, increasing the reserve to an estimated $8.0 million at the end of FY 2025 -2026. ACTC program guidelines allow HOP to accumulate up to four times the City’s DLD as fund reserves. These reserves will be available for appropriation to support future program growth. Staff will continue to monitor growth in total ridership and rides provided as the program expands in FY 2025-2026 and in future years to determine if adjustments are necessary to the program model.

Mobility Management Services – CRIL and Glad Tidings Agreements The PPP submitted to ACTC includes implementation of a new Mobility Management program, offered through two of the City’s nonprofit partners, CRIL and Glad Tidings. Both organizations currently serve the community by providing social services referral and enrollment assistance to community members and both also have community health workers and case workers on staff. Community health workers are members of the community that primarily serve as a bridge between communities and healthcare systems. Their work includes outreach, education, and advocacy, with the goal of helping individuals understand their health and access healthcare and resources. Staff at CRIL specialize in ensuring that eligible community members can access any state, county, and city services for individuals with disabilities of all ages. Glad Tidings is a faith- based organization and has the goal of improving quality of life for households that are low - income or come from marginalized communities, primarily in the South Hayward area.

A Mobility Management program is intended to improve transportation options and transportation accessibility for older adults, individuals with disabilities, and low-income individuals by coordinating services, providing information, and promoting transportation services. Per ACTC’s implementation guidelines, mobility management programs are an

allowable use of Measure BB funding2. Staff’s proposal to add mobility management to its suite of services is based on a similar program implemented by the City of Fremont’s Ride-On Tri-City! paratransit program, with the addition of in -person assistance and application co mpletion services.

As the providers of the mobility management program, CRIL and Glad Tidings will augment HOP’s outreach and enrollment effor ts through outreach and direct assistance. Both organizations will refer individuals to HOP, EBP, or other local non-ADA paratransit programs, based on the individual’s place of residence and eligibility. HOP’s mobility management partners will enable the program to provide support to monolingual residents across multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Faris/Dari, and Braille. Finally, the most important function of the mobility management program will be direct assistance to eligible residents in the completion and submission of HOP and EBP applications.

Completion of these documents can often present a significant barrier to access for many residents due to language, technological, or resource impediments.

Historically, staff ha ve encountered several difficulties in enrolling HOP riders , including providing program and enrollment information to individuals with limited English proficiency; obtaining completed medical certification forms signed by a doctor or case worker; and receiving applications from eligible individuals unable to access the internet, a printer, or a post office. These difficulties are particularly stark for otherwise eligible individuals with disabilities, who are very low-income, or are part of historically marginalized communities.

As of February 2025, staff have been unable to complete enrollment of 26 individuals with disabilities due to incomplete applications, primarily due to a lack of a completed medical certification form. In addition, only 130 of HOP’s 1,186 active riders are under age 70 and enrolled based on disability. Of these 130 riders with disabilities, 55 have been enrolled since the beginning of FY 2024-2025, indicating a significant unmet need. Income verification has also proven to be a barrier to accessing HOP’s means-based fare subsidy program, which provides greater subsidies for very low-income individuals. Of the 148 riders enrolled in the means-based fare program, 98 have been enrolled since the adjusted workplan and scope of HOP’s Community Programs Specialist, with many riders not in the means-based fare subsidy program communicating difficulties in providing income verification documents. Finally, the demographics of existing HOP riders do not align with those of the City as a whole. Of the 943 HOP riders who have provided race and ethnicity information, 378, or approximately 40%, identify as non -Hispanic White, compared to just over 13 % of the general population as identified by the US Census July 2024 estimates.

A mobility management program carried out by community organizations that have existing relationships with older adults and people with disabilities within the HOP eligibility area will help increase ridership among underrepresented populations. CRIL is the most prominent disability assistance and advocacy organization in central and southern Alameda County, while Glad Tidings leverages its position in the faith-based community to engage with and provide

2 https://www.alamedactc.org/wp-
content/uploads/2018/11/Paratransit_Implementation_Guidelines_FINAL_20160225.pdf

services to individuals across South Hayward. Data quantifying current H OP enrollment difficulties illustrates the need to implement a mobility management program as soon as possible.

To do so, staff recommend amending the existing paratransit services agreement with CRIL and entering into an agreement with Glad Tidings effec tive March 1, 2025. CRIL’s FY 2024 -2025 paratransit services agreement continued its historical role as a travel trainer for HOP riders, offering real-world training and workshops in the use of BART, AC Transit, East Bay Paratransit, and HOP. However, due to staffing difficulties and the loss of its senior travel trainer, CRIL has been unable to carry out its existing scope of work. A scope amendment to the current $50,000 agreement would allow CRIL to provide services through its current staff and draw down on its FY 2024-2025 agreement. Staff propose an agreement with Glad Tidings in the amount of $30,000 for mobility management services through the end of FY 2024 -2025. While this agreement falls below the City’s procurement threshold for Council authoriza tion, it would require appropriation of funds from the Measure BB reserves.

Request for Measure BB Appropriation
In addition to the programs and services described previously in this report, staff has developed a workplan for providing the community with outreach and updated materials reflecting changes to and expansion of the HOP program. Not only will HOP be offering a more robust suite of services and a self-service request option, changing service providers to Onward requires that riders be aware of a new contact telephone number for requesting rides through a customer service agent. Activities planned for addressing the transition with enrolled HOP riders include changes to the existing Alameda 211 phone tree; updates to the HOP Rider’s Guide policy and procedures manual; expansion of the HOP page on the City of Hayward website to include documents, educational materials, fee structures, and service maps; redesign of all brochures, one-pagers, and branded merchandise to reflect the new contact telephone number; and announcements to enrolled riders via email, telephone, and text message. Many of these activities will also require translation into multiple languages and braille.

As part of the FY 2024-2025 budget process, CSD staff included funding for these activities in its budget request. It has been the practice of staff to appropriate only the Measure BB funds necessary for planned staff salaries, services, and vendor agreements in the annual operating budget, with any difference between the budget and the DLD from ACTC accruing to the fund reserve. However, due to the unplanned need for additional resources to support Eden I&R staffing brought to City Council in December, the previously budgeted funds were redirected.

This has resulted in insufficient appropriated budget for carrying out transition activities, despite the Measure BB fund currently having an available reserve of approximately $7.5 million. Staff redirected a total of $88,057 in budgeted funds as part of its December request.

Staff requests appropriation of a total of $118,057 from the Measure BB fund balance. This total will be used to enter into a $30,000 agreement with Glad Tidings, as well as replenish the budget initially intended to fund marketing and outreach efforts connected to both the soft launch of services in Q4 of FY 2024-2025 and the full relaunch of the HOP program in FY 2025-2026.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

HOP is supported exclusively by Alameda County Measure BB funds. The HOP program offers cost-effective transportation alternatives for eligible residents on fixed incomes , allowing participation in the local economy . Reliable mobility options for seniors and residents with disabilities may also allow for greater economic participation by caregivers.

STRATEGIC ROADMAP

This agenda item is a routine operational item and does not directly relate to any specific project outlined in the Strategic Roadmap. However, the HOP program supports quality of life for residents more generally.

FISCAL IMPACT

The proposed agreements have no impact on the City’s General Fund. HOP program costs, including City staff and administrative costs, are entirely offset by the City’s Measure BB Paratransit reserves and special revenue funds derived from Measure BB sales tax revenues.

The FY 2024-2025 appropriation recommended by staff will draw on existing Measure BB Fund reserves of an estimated $7,480,637. Measure BB funding to support FY 2025-2026 agreements will be appropriated as part of the City’s annual budget process and will be offset by approximately $2.1 million in Measure BB DLD revenue. Any DLD amount received beyond the budgeted expenditures will accrue to the Measure BB Fund reserve and will be available to accommodate future program growth. ACTC guidelines allow the City to maintain up to four times its annual DLD as program reserves.

SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES

HOP paratransit programs utilize shared vehicles, thereby reducing the number of vehicles on the road and associated emissions.

NEXT STEPS

Staff recommend that Council adopt the attached resolutions authorizing the City Manager or their designee to 1) adopt the proposed HOP Paratransit Program Plan; 2) amend the FY 2024- 2025 agreement with Eden I&R, Inc. curb-to-curb paratransit services; 3) appropriate Measure BB fund balance to support mobility management services and outreach efforts in Q4 of FY 2024-2025. Should Council adopt these resolutions, staff will meet with representatives from each contracting agency to facilitate contract execution and will report on progress as part of the annual reporting process in calendar year 2026.

RECOMMENDATION

That City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with Larratt Brothers Plumbing in an amount not-to- exceed $328,000 for the Heat Pump Water Heater Direct Installation Program (Program).

SUMMARY

In September 2023, City Council approved a $1.25 million expenditure plan from the Calpine Clean Energy Fund which allocated $328,000 to install electric heat pump water heaters (HPWH) to low-income households located in census tracts close to the Russell City Energy Center (RCEC). Staff released a Request for Proposal (RFP) in January 2025 to solicit a consultant to be the program manager and contractor for the Program. Staff received and reviewed three proposals and recommends awarding a contract to Larratt Brothers Plumbing (LBP) in an amount not-to-exceed $328,000.

BACKGROUND

The RCEC is a 600-megawatt natural gas powerplant located in Hayward’s industrial area and is owned and operated by the Calpine Corporation. On May 27, 2021, RCEC’s steam turbine generator experienced a mechanical failure that resulted in an explosion and fire. The generator experienced extensive damage, and debris from the explosion flew from the site to surrounding areas, including the City’s Water Resource Recovery Facility (formerly the Water Pollution Control Facility) and the City’s Homeless Navigation Center.

The incident led to the City and Calpine entering into a Coordination, Resiliency, and Action Agreement. The Agreement created a mechanism for donations to the Fire Department to purchase a hazardous materials response vehicle, to the Russell City Reparative Justice

Project (RCRJP), and to fund clean energy efficiency projects in the City, hereafter referred to as the Calpine Clean Energy Fund.

On September 12, 20231, the City Council approved a $1.25 million expenditure plan from the Calpine Clean Energy Fund which allocated $922,000 to cover the cost of the installation of solar and battery at Fire Station 6 and Regional Fire Training Center. The remaining $328,000 was approved to offer HPWH to low-income households located in census tracts close to RCEC. City Council members and the public expressed interest in requiring local labor and labor standards in the program’s RFP. City Council member comments included:
 Local plumbers and electricians should be hired for the HPWH installations  Utilize labor standards similar to those included in the City of Berkeley’s Just Transition Request for Proposals
 Prioritize older water heaters for replacements

On November 18, 20242, staff presented to the Council Sustainability Committee a set of required and preferred labor standards to be included in the program’s Request for Proposal.

The required labor standard is to pay prevailing wages. The preferred labor standards include the use of local labor, contracting with Hayward-based plumbing and electrical companies, providing benefits, including entry-level or apprentices in installations, and demonstration of supportive hiring practices. Committee member comments included:
 Expressed support for seeking a Hayward-based contractor for the program.  Whether there would be a cost share with the homeowner, or if the water heaters could be replaced without a co-pay by homeowners to increase interest in the program.
o Staff responded that the initial intention was to include some cost share with the homeowner so that more water heaters could be installed and help add credibility to the program, but details were still to be determined.

DISCUSSION

Staff released a Request for Proposals (RFP) on January 15, 2025, and received three proposals by the February 27 deadline. The RFP’s scope of work includes program administration of the Heat Pump Water Heater Direct Installation program and completing water heater installations. The RFP requires the selected firm to assist the City in developing an application system that prioritizes high-need households and older water heaters that will soon need to be replaced. LBP’s proposal includes in-person assessments and the use of their existing text-based app that makes it somewhat easier for potential customers to apply, provide photos of their existing water heater, sign forms and schedule work. The app will allow City staff to monitor customer interactions to help ensure a high level of customer satisfaction.

The program RFP asked the selected firm to recommend two to three co-pay options that integrate available incentives, optimize the number of HPWH installed, and ensure sufficient

demand. However, following the concerns CSC members expressed at the Committee meeting and recent conversations with other entities offering similar programs, staff is considering designing the program to not require a co-pay from the customer. Due to the Program targeting lower income households and given that customers will be asked to replace functioning water heaters, it may be difficult to secure a sufficient number of participants if a copay is required.

Staff reviewed the three proposals according to criteria specified in the RFP:
 approach/proposed solution (20%)
 qualifications and experience with related projects (20%)  appropriateness of cost (20%)
 preferred labor standards – local labor (10%)
 preferred labor standards – local businesses (10%)
 preferred labor standards – other (10%)
 timely performance (10%)

All three firms were interviewed and staff talked with the references listed in the three proposals. LBP’s proposal came out on top in terms of cost and for their use of local labor. LBP is a plumbing company with over 30 years of providing plumbing services to the Greater Bay Area. They have installed over 500 heat pump water heaters including in low-income households through Peninsula Clean Energy’s low-income electrification direct installation service. Their proposal offered to install up to 40 water heaters at a fixed price with no co-pay to the residents. (Depending on available incentives, more water heaters may be installed.) While LBP is a San Francisco-based company, they are a signatory contractor with Local Union 342, which covers Alameda County, and they have committed to having at least 25% of their workforce be Hayward residents or Hayward high school graduates. Their program design is considerate to non-English speakers and non-tech savvy individuals. They also received high customer satisfaction scores as well as high praise from former project collaborators.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The Heat Pump Water Heater Direct Installation program would benefit low-income residents who live in the surrounding area of RCEC by providing them with an affordable option for a more climate-friendly means of water heating. Installing a heat pump water heater is more expensive than a gas water heater. According to the Bay Area Air District, the average upfront incremental cost ranges from $1,840 to $3,496 prior to incentives.3 The cost per heat pump water heater, without incentives, ranged from approximately $6,000 to $8,000 in the three proposals. In the long-term, the households switching from gas to heat pump water heaters can save on their utility bills.4

3 Staff report from Bay Area Air Quality Management District regarding Regulation 9, Rule 6: https://www.baaqmd.gov/~/media/files/board- of-directors/2024/bod_agenda_120424_rv_op-pdf.pdf?rev=23dd57aa8d2649f99f77222b0b1773db&sc_lang=en 4 A 2022 PG&E study found that residents that switched from a gas-powered water heater to an electric one saved on average $100 per year in energy bills. 499779180.PDF (ca.gov)

In addition, the RFP had a list of preferred labor standards that applicants were asked to provide, if possible. LBP agreed to pay the required prevailing wages and offers unlimited vacation days to their permanent employees . Furthermore, LBP is a signatory contractor with Local Union 342 and is committed to having at least 25% of the workforce involved in this program be residents from Hayward or Hayward high school graduates.

FISCAL IMPACT

There will be no impact to the City’s General Fund. The program will be fully funded by the Calpine Clean Energy Fund.

STRATEGIC ROADMAP

This agenda item supports the Strategic Priority of Champion Climate Resilience & Environmental Justice. This item does not relate to a specific project but does address the overall goal to Reduce Greenhouse Gases and Dependency on Fossil Fuels.

SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES

Replacement of natural gas water heaters with electric heat pump water heaters would reduce GHG emissions. Hayward’s 2023 community wide GHG inventory shows that approximately 15% of emissions are from natural gas combustion in homes.5 Water heaters and furnaces typically account for 91% of residential natural gas use. Reducing natural gas consumption will help the City reach its goal of reducing emissions by 55% below 2005 levels by 2030.

PUBLIC CONTACT

The RFP was available to the public from January 15, 2025 through February 27, 2025. Once the program’s application process is defined, staff will work with the consultant to conduct appropriate marketing and outreach to eligible households.

NEXT STEPS

If City Council approves this item, the City Manager will negotiate and execute a consulting contract with LBP to manage the Heat Pump Water Heater Direct Installation program. City staff will then work with LBP to design and launch the program with the intention of starting installations later this year and completing 40 water heater installations within 12 months.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Eco Office for the Construction of City Hall’s Second Floor for Public Works & Utilities Department in an Amount Not-To-Exceed $300,000

RECOMMENDATION

That City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Eco Office, in an amount not-to-exceed $300,000 for the construction of City Hall’s second floor for Public Works & Utilities Department.

SUMMARY

The Public Works & Utilities Department’s staff has increased over the years in various divisions. The current floor plan is at capacity, the layout is inefficient and is in need of a reconfiguration to create space for current and anticipated new staff. The proposed workspace, partitioned by cubicles, will increase the workspace from 56 to 71 and the new design will improve overall functionality and efficiency within the workplace.

BACKGROUND

When built in 1997, Hayward City Hall, at 777 B Street, Second Floor, was not entirely occupied by Public Works and Utilities. The department used to be two separate departments, one under Utilities and Environmental Services, which was occupying City Hall’s fourth floor and the other under Public Works, with Engineering and Transportation occupying City Hall’s second floor. On May 14, 2019, the City of Hayward merged the departments to the Public Works & Utilities Department and moved all its employees to the second floor. Since the merger, the department has grown, and the existing office space is at its maximum capacity.

DISCUSSION

On February 26, 2025, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the reconfiguration of Hayward City Hall’s second floor. Two site visits were made available for potential vendors

to view the space and ask questions prior to the proposal submission deadline. Six proposals were received. Staff is recommending Eco Office for the construction of the new office space. Eco Office offers reasonable rates for equipment and materials, including different desk sizes, that will benefit staff needing bigger desk space when reviewing planning documents. Their proposal of approximately $200,000 includes refurbished office furniture and in-house labor to break down the current cubicle system and the building of the new cubicle system. The department intends to reuse all existing partitions and supplement new partitions to complete the work, which will reduce the costs. To minimize the disruption to staff’s daily work, the reconfiguration of the second floor will be completed in phases.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

There is no economic impact on this action.

FISCAL IMPACT

Funding for the office reconfiguration will be from the Water Operating Fund, Wastewater Operating Fund, Recycling Operating Fund, and salary savings from vacancies. Additionally, City staff is requesting a 10% contingency.

There are no impacts on the General Fund.

STRATEGIC ROADMAP

This agenda item is a routine operational item and does not relate to Strategic Roadmap.

SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES

This item does not involve any sustainability features.

PUBLIC CONTACT

The RFP was publicly posted on the City’s website on February 26, 2025.

NEXT STEPS

If City Council approves this request, staff will finalize a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Eco Office for services to be performed.

C. Chain of Communication for Reporting Sanitary Sewer Spills.

The protocol for the reporting of Sanitary Sewer Spill is conducted by the City of Hayward Sanitary Sewer Spill Emergency Response Plan, referenced in Chapter 6 of this manual.

A sewer problem can be reported to the Sewer Collection System by several different methods including:
• Calling the Utilities Center during normal business hours. • Calling the Hayward Police Dispatch, after normal business hours, weekends and holidays, who will notify the Sewer Collections Standby staff to respond. • Observation by a City employee who will notify the Utilities Center. • Notification from a neighboring agency or city regarding a sewer problem outside of the agency’s jurisdiction.

All calls for service are responded to within 30 minutes to an hour. Sewer collection staff are on standby 24 hours/day, 7 days/week to respond after hours, weekend, and holiday emergencies.

The First Responder is responsible for evaluating the spill upon arrival, implementing best management practices to contain it, and if possible, prevent it from entering the storm drain.

Additional responsibilities include clearing the blockage, notifying the Sewer Collections Manager, and reporting the incident to the California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) within two (2) hours if the spill is greater than or equal to 1,000 gallons.

During normal work hours, the Sewer Collections Manager will respond to the spill upon notification, take control of the containment and cleanup efforts, estimate the spill volume for CalOES reporting, submit any follow-up reports to CalOES, and notify the Utilities Operations & Maintenance Manager.

The Sewer Collections Manager is also responsible for notifying the Utilities Operations & Maintenance Manager of the event and completing the online Sanitary Sewer Spill Report to California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS) within three (3) business days for Category 1 and 2 Spills, or within thirty (30) days following the end of the month in which a Category 3 spill occurred.

The Sewer Collection Manager is also responsible for ensuring all response activities conducted safely, and in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, City ordinances and policies. Additionally, they must ensure that an investigation is conducted to determine the cause of the spill and that appropriate corrective actions are taken.

The Utilities Operations & Maintenance Manager is responsible for notifying the Director of Public Works of the event and ensuring all response activities are conducted safely and in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and City ordinances.

All Sewer Collection staff are equipped with mobile smart phones. Additionally, there are four line-of-sight radios available for use when there are communications disruptions or situations requiring radio communications such as confined space entries, main line cleaning, televising and investigating canyons for sewer spills.

SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN

LEGAL AUTHORITY

The City has sufficient legal authority to effectively implement its SSMP through the Sanitary Sewer System chapter of the City of Hayward Municipal Code and binding policy documents. The City can require system users to meet discharge standards, maintain user-owned facilities, and pay penalties for non-compliance.

Specifically, the City has authority to:

A. Control infiltration and connections from inflow sources.

The City requires all inhabited properties in its service area to connect to the public sewer system, except under very specific circumstances via Section 11-3.201 of the City of Hayward Municipal Code. The City, in cooperation with the County Health Officer, may also take appropriate action, including limiting or suspending water service, if a private sanitary sewer spill is causing a dangerous and unsanitary condition via Section 11-3.100 of the City of Hayward Municipal Code.

B. Require that sewers and connections be properly designed and constructed. The City requires that sewer system facilities and connections be designed and constructed in accordance with specific design standards and material specifications via the Section 11-3.300 to 11-3.311 of the City of Hayward Municipal Code. Sewer connections must be permitted and constructed by a licensed sewer contractor per Section 11-3.250 & 11-3.252 of the City of Hayward Municipal Code.

C. Ensure proper installation, testing and inspection of new and rehabilitated sewers. The City has specific criteria for construction of sewers and connections in Section 11-3.350 to 11-3.362 of the City of Hayward Municipal Code. City inspectors are trained and experienced in construction of sanitary sewers and connections and have authority to stop construction if the inspector determines the work does not meet City standards. The City also has specific requirements for inspecting and testing new connections in Section 11-3.259 & 11-3.260 of the City of Hayward Municipal Code.

D. Regulate wastewater discharge, including limitations on fats, oil and grease. Appendix A of the City’s municipal code contains the City’s Wastewater Discharge Regulations (WDR), are administered by the Public Works & Utilities Department’s Water Pollution Source Control Program, which conducts regular inspection, monitoring, and permitting of certain industrial users. The WDR includes limitations on wastewater constituents, including fats, oil and grease. In addition, Public Works Policy Memo 5-11 makes specific requirements for grease control devices in appropriate facilities. This policy is administered by Public Works & Utilities Department and Building Inspection Department staff.

E. Jurisdictional Agreement
The City of Hayward Maintenance Services Department (MSD) oversees the maintenance and operation of the stormwater system within the jurisdictional May 2025 3-2

boundaries. The Collections Division works alongside MSD when needed during emergency events, allowing us access to MSD stormwater inlets and drainage systems. The stormwater collection system within the City of Hayward intersects and/or is tied into the Alameda County Flood Control (ACFC) stormwater conveyance system through pipes, culverts, and open channels. The City of Hayward does not possess the legal authority or necessary interjurisdictional agreements with ACFC to perform maintenance services outside of the conveyance system that is specifically owned and operated by the City. Maintenance responsibilities are limited to areas clearly delineated and labelled on City of Hayward official stormwater maps. In the event of a spill reaching the ACFC system, ACFC is responsible for determining the appropriate abatement actions. Typically, a local environment contractor is called, such as Environmental Logistics, to contain the spill, pump affected areas, and conduct sampling to confirm the receiving waterway is free of contamination.

SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

A. Collection System Map. Comprehensive sewer and storm base maps are available to staff detailing the location, size and installation date of sewer and storm mains, manhole locations with invert and rim elevations, as well as property lines with addresses. Electronic maps were last updated in 2024.

Paper map books in crew trucks were last distributed in 2016 and are constructed of more durable plastic/paper hybrid pages. The City’s Geographic Information System (GIS) is continuously updated as changes to the system occur. The printed map books were recently updated and due in May 2025.

B. Prioritized Preventive Maintenance. The Collection System consists of over 320 miles of various diameter pipe, nine sewage pump stations, approximately 38,000 service connections, and a Water Pollution Control Facility. The pump stations are maintained by the City of Hayward Utilities Division. Adequate staffing is provided for routine operations and maintenance of these facilities. Pipeline maintenance staff includes a Wastewater Collections System Manager, three (3) Utility Leaders, and five (5) Utility Workers.

The Utilities Division is responsible for the mechanical operation & maintenance activities for pump stations, which include one (1) Utilities Electrical, one (1) Mechanical Operations & Maintenance Manager, three (3) Electricians, six (6) Utilities Maintenance Mechanics and two (2) Utilities Service Workers, who are also responsible for all water pump station, reservoir, pipeline, and pressure reducing valve operation, maintenance and repair and storm water pump station operation, maintenance and repair.

Pipeline and facilities personnel are available 24 hours/day, 7 days/week to respond to emergency conditions.

With current staffing levels, the entire collection system could be cleaned every 2 to 3 years, assuming no interruptions from other work.

Areas requiring more frequent cleaning known as “High Frequency Areas” are cleaned as frequently as every 60 days.

Areas identified for repair or upgrade due to physical condition or flow restriction are scheduled for attention as they are discovered. The City has allocated funding for an annual Emergency/Spot Repair and a Line Replacement CIP to address these needs.

Root control is managed through a chemical treatment program that targets areas with known root intrusion. The program cleans and cuts roots then chemically treats the mains in compliance with industry standards.

All customer complaints are responded to as they are received.

May 2025 Page 4-1

CCTV inspection data, including video, are stored on separate removable drives.

C. Scheduled Inspections and Condition Assessment.

The Sewer Collection staff continuously inspect and assess the condition of the City’s sewer collection system. Root cutting and foaming are performed as needed in areas where root instruction has been identified as a concern.

Areas that present flow challenges, and which are not physically defective or in need of upgrade, are placed on High-Frequency lists (2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 month frequency) based on their specific issue. These are typically areas that accumulate grease at a higher-than-normal rate and must be cleaned more frequently to maintain proper flow.

Staff also maintain a selective check list which includes areas identified during routine cleaning as possibly prone to stoppage. The list is reviewed quarterly until the area is televised and repairs are made.

D. Training. All Sewer Collection System staff receive regular training through a combination of in-house resources and external vendors, as well as wastewater organizations such as CWEA, WEF, and California State University, Sacramento (Office of Water Programs) courses. Since the onset of COVID-19 restrictions, staff implemented DKF virtual trainings in lieu of some in person tailgates and trainings.

The City is also actively encouraging all Sewer Collections staff to obtain certification as Collection System Maintenance Operators through CWEA.

Additionally, the Utilities O&M staff are encouraged to obtain CWEA certifications, and an Electrician is currently certified as Grade III Electrical/Instrumentation Technologist.

E. Contingency Equipment. All sewer lift stations and storm water pump stations have been upgraded to support a streamlined and efficient bypass pumping process. All stations have suction and discharge connections with quick-connect couplings installed for portable trash pumps. In the event of a pump failure, a portable trailer mounted trash pump can be towed to the site and hooked up in short order, re-establishing flow from the station.

Additionally, for stations without permanent emergency generators, the Motor Control Centers (MCCs) are equipped with quick connect plugs. This allows a portable, trailer mounted emergency generator to be towed to the site and connected quickly in the event of a power failure, restoring station operations.

SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN

SPILL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN

A. Notification

A sewer problem can be reported to the Collection System by several different methods including:
• Calling the Utilities Center during normal work hours. • Calling the Hayward Police Dispatch, after normal work hours, weekends and holidays, who will notify the Sewer Collections Standby person to respond.
• Observation by a City employee who will notify the Utilities Center. • Notification from a neighboring agency or city regarding a sewer problem outside of the agency’s jurisdiction.

All calls for service are responded to within 30 minutes to an hour. Sewer collection staff are on standby 24 hours/day, 7 days/week to respond after hours, weekend and holiday emergencies.

B. Response

All Spill response activities will be in compliance with the City of Hayward Sanitary Sewer Spill Emergency Response Plan (SERP).

All Spill reporting procedures are also covered in the California Water Board’s Enrollee’s Guide to the Spill Database, as well as the City’s SERP.

For guidance in responding to, and reporting Spill events, refer to the City’s SERP.

SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN

FATS, OILS, AND GREASE (FOG) CONTROL PROGRAM

Based on a comprehensive review of Spill incidents and sewer cleaning history, the City determined that FOG is not a major concern for the City’s collection system. The City’s Collection Division has an aggressive high frequency cleaning system that has proven victorious over the occurrence of FOG Spills. There has not been a spill due to FOG in recent history. The City will maintain its FOG identification and control program. In addition, to taking a proactive approach, the City has incorporated several other elements into its FOG Control Program as detailed below.

A. Identification and Sewer Cleaning

The City’s Sewer Collection staff track areas requiring increased frequency of cleaning. Factors contributing to increased cleaning frequency such as structural problems, roots, or FOG are documented.

Identified problematic sewer lines with grease is cleaned at least once per year.

Areas known to have problems are included on one of the City’s High Frequency Main Cleaning Lists and are cleaned between 2 and 8 months. Sewer lines in the downtown area are cleaned bi-annually.

The Water Pollution Source Control Division is notified when areas with significant grease buildup or spills suspected to be caused by FOG are identified.

Water Pollution Source Control Inspectors may conduct further investigation to determine possible contributors to the grease buildup, where feasible. In some cases, the Collection Division utilizes camera technology to help identify FOG source contributors (i.e. by televising lateral-main connections).

B. Source Control

The City has promulgated a Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) program as described in Public Works Policy Memo 5-11. This memo, entitled “Grease Control Devices and Grease Handling Procedures in Food Service Facilities”, outlines the City’s policy regarding grease control devices in restaurants and other food service establishments (FSEs).

Based on information provided by prospective FSE proprietors, City staff incorporate grease control device requirements into building plan checks. The minimum requirement for an FSE is to install a grease trap. In some cases, grease interceptors are required.

May 2025 Page 7-1

Public Works Policy Memo 5-11 also details grease control device maintenance requirements, including those pertaining to frequency of cleaning and record retention.

In addition, the City also conducts public outreach activities to raise awareness of FOG-related problems. Efforts include distributing BMP posters to restaurants and other FSEs, mailing informational brochures to residents, and exhibiting a FOG informational display at public outreach events.

C. Facility Inspection

Water Pollution Source Control Inspectors conduct inspections of FSEs known or suspected to have caused FOG-related problems in the collection system. This is typically done in the course of an investigation as described above.

Permitted Industrial Users, some of whom have the potential to contribute FOG to the collection system, are regularly inspected on a frequency of at least once per year.

D. Legal Authority

The City has legal authority to prohibit discharges to the collection system through its Wastewater Discharge Regulations, Appendix A of Chapter 11, Article 3 of City of Hayward Municipal Code.

In addition, the City also has authority through Section 11-3.104 (Abatement) of the City of Hayward Municipal Code.

SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN

SYSTEM EVALUATION AND CAPACITY ASSURANCE PLAN

The Sewer Collection System Master Plan is estimated for completion in 2026. The Master Plan flow monitoring is estimated to begin in Winter 2025 and continue through March of 2026.

(a) The sewer collection system is constantly monitored and evaluated. As crews clean and televise the system, discrepancies are documented, then forwarded for repair. The City has an active Capital Improvement Program (CIP) with projects addressing system needs and allowing for rapid response in rectifying the issues as they are identified.

Additionally, immediately following a Sanitary Sewer Spill, an investigation is conducted to determine the cause and identify corrective actions needed to address issues in the system.

The most current evaluation of capacity analysis is detailed in the Sewer Collection System Master Plan Chapter 4.

(b) For information on sewer collection system design criteria, refer to the following sources;
City of Hayward, Department of Public Works SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE

CONSTRUCTION OF SANITARY SEWER MAINS AND APPURTENANCES
and
City of Hayward Public Works & Utilities Department STANDARD DETAILS.

(c) The City is constantly monitoring the system for capacity deficiencies. In addition to the recommendations outlined in Chapter 5 of the Sewer Collection System Master Plan Sewer Collection System Master Plan Chapter 5, improvements are made as deficiencies and defects are discovered during CCTV and sewer main cleaning activities.

Funding is reserved in Capital Improvement Projects specifically for emergencies and spot repairs to the system discovered during day-to-day activities. The amounts of these funds are adjusted annually.

(d) A schedule of planned projects and system upgrades can be seen in the most recent Capital Improvement Program list of projects. CIP Directory

(e) The City is currently in the process of updating the Sewer System Master Plan with completion estimated in 2026. In preparation of climate change, the update will include determining the appropriate design storm. During the storm event from December 31, 2022, through January 1, 2023, which produced 4.67 inches of rain, equivalent to a 10-year storm, the City’s sewer system performed well with no reported incidents.

SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN

MONITORING, MEASUREMENT AND PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS

Monitoring, Measurement, and Program Modifications:

The City of Hayward:

(a) Maintains relevant information to support the establishment and prioritization of appropriate SSMP activities, as demonstrated by the City’s SSMP being active since March 2006. In that time, it has been audited biennial and underwent a major update in March 2012 and again in 2016. The existing SSMP and all future audits will be transitioning to triennial to conform with the new WDR mandates. A record of the audits can be found in Chapter 10.

(b) Monitors the implementation of each element of the SSMP and, where appropriate, measure their effectiveness. This is demonstrated in the table referenced below in item (c), which highlights the trends over the past five years.

Overall, the city performed well with the exception of 2020, when an increase in issues were attributed to staff limitations during the COVID-19 related closures and unforeseen challenges with contractors, and a dust cover incident.

The main cleaning footage is averaging 1,400,000 ft/year and the CCTV is averaging 200,000 ft/year.

In addition, the High-Frequency Cleaning Schedules are continually adjusted.

Areas that no longer require frequent attention, due to repair or capacity improvements, are removed, while new areas are added as needed. Currently the City maintains cleaning schedule at 2,3,4,6 and 8 months. Additionally, the Selective Check List is used as inspections of identified designated areas during cleaning as having potential flow issues.

During Selective Checks, areas identified to be free-flowing, and subsequent televising shows no obstruction or grease and/or sediment buildup, the site is removed from the Selective Check List. If the site has a grease accumulation issue that cannot be remedied by upgrades or repairs, it is placed on one of the High Frequency Lists. If a defect or deficiency is identified, the site is documented and scheduled for appropriate repair or improvement.

May 2025 Page 9-1

(c) Assesses the success of the preventative maintenance program, which is depicted in the table below showing the City’s Spill trends and noting the drastic drop coinciding with the addition of staff and equipment.

(d) Updates program elements, as appropriate, based on monitoring or performance evaluations. In fact, the City is constantly upgrading its system and making improvements as technology changes and practices are honed.

(e) Identifies and illustrates spill trends, including frequency, location, and volume by reviewing the details of the past five years spills. The City’s Spill activity is generally low in volume, which is a testament to the initiative and work ethic of the personnel who operate and maintain the system. This outcome is not surprising, given the City’s ongoing collection system cleaning, regular televising activities, and thorough investigations conducted following a spill.

SUBJECT: 2025 Resident Satisfaction Survey

RECOMMENDATION

That the City Council receives a presentation and provides comments on results of the 2025 Resident Satisfaction Survey conducted March 24, 2025, to April 9, 2025.

SUMMARY

The Resident Satisfaction Survey is a scientific public opinion poll scheduled to be carried out roughly every other year. It provides a point-in-time gauge of community views and attitudes about quality of life in Hayward, satisfaction with City services and service priorities.

Resident Satisfaction Survey results are intended to provide reliable data that can be drawn upon for priority setting and to understand trends in public opinion about life in Hayward and the performance of City government in meeting the needs and expectations of community members.

BACKGROUND

The Resident Satisfaction Survey is a research project with the objective of providing an accurate and unbiased snapshot of community attitudes. This is accomplished by compiling a random sample of residents that is both reflective of the overall adult population of Hayward and large enough so that statistically reliable inferences can be drawn from the survey responses of sample members.

The project is carried out for the City of Hayward by Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates (FM3), a leading San Francisco Bay Area public opinion research firm that was formed in 1981, was chosen through a competitive selection process and works at the direction of the Community and Media Relations Division of the Office of the City Manager.

DISCUSSION

At this work session, staff are seeking the City Council feedback and questions on the survey results. Attachment II is the Survey Results Toplines Report.

The 2025 edition of the Hayward Resident Satisfaction Survey is noteworthy because it is the first time the City will have conducted this research after adoption of district-based elections. In recognition of this milestone, staff directed FM3 to increase the overall number of residents to be surveyed to a total of 1200 with 200 to come from each of the six new Council districts.

In addition to expanding the sample size with direction to draw an equivalent number of responses by district, staff also worked with FM3 to update the survey itself to reflect current concerns and better understand attitudes about persistent issues while maintaining the ability to plot trends on certain questions over time.

The updating was warranted because the survey was last conducted in 2021, after taking a hiatus in 2023. Moreover, the 2025 edition of the Resident Satisfaction Survey would be the first since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic and state of emergency.

To begin, FM3 compiled a random sample of residents using a list of residential address across the City of Hayward. The pollsters contacted respondents by telephone call, email invitations, text messages and postcards. To ensure those surveyed are a representative sample, the demographic and geographic characteristics of survey respondents were carefully monitored during the data collection phases of the project. In the initial phase of data collection, randomly selected subsets of the sample were sent email, text and postcard invitations and asked to take the survey online. In the second phase, randomly selected residents in the sample were contacted via telephone (landlines and cell phones) and asked to take the survey with a live interviewer. The telephone and online surveys were conducted in English and Spanish.

The survey was designed for the average person to complete in approximately 17 minutes by phone. The wording and structure were designed to generate statistically reliable results

about opinions and attitudes citywide and allow for comparisons by demographic group and by Council district.

Moreover, the wording, structure and methodology allow for comparisons of results across questions to understand issues about which residents feel strongly and satisfaction levels with a corresponding municipal service. The resulting analysis can pinpoint opportunities to improve community satisfaction on issues of greatest concern.

FISCAL IMPACT

The total cost of the 2025 Resident Satisfaction Survey was $82,500. Funding for the project was included in the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Capital Improvement Budget and was augmented by the General Fund to allow for the increased sample size.

STRATEGIC ROADMAP

Information and data collected in the biennial Resident Satisfaction Survey bears directly on the City’s understanding of resident views of quality of life in Hayward and supports prioritization of services and initiatives.

NEXT STEPS

After obtaining Council feedback, the results of the 2025 Resident Satisfaction Survey will be shared with the City organization and will be drawn upon in future strategic planning and budgeting work sessions.

SUBJECT
Hayward 2040 General Plan: Adopt a Resolution Amending the Hazards Element of the Hayward 2040 General Plan in Accordance with the Requirements of Assembly Bill 2140 by Adopting and Incorporating by Reference the Updated Hayward Local Resilience Plan; Finding that No Further Environmental Review is Necessary

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment II) amending the Hazards Element of the Hayward 2040 General Plan in accordance with the requirements of Assembly Bill 2140 (AB 2140) by adopting and incorporating by reference the 2021 update to the Hayward Local Resilience Plan (LRP) into the Hazards Element; and finding that no further environmental review is necessary beyond the previously adopted Addendum to the 2040 General Plan Environmental Impact Report (Attachment IV).

SUMMARY
Staff is requesting the City Council to adopt a minor amendment to the Hazards Element of the Hayward 2040 General Plan which would adopt and incorporate by reference Hayward’supdated Local Resilience Plan (LRP) into the Hazards Element. The action would also involve inclusion of a footnote reference to the LRP in the Hazards Element. All actions are necessary to comply with Assembly Bill 2140 (AB 2140).

The LRP sets forth the required five-year update of the 2016 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), in accordance with and with the authority granted by the U.S. Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. Adoption of the proposed update to the Hazards Element to adopt and incorporate the LRP by reference ensures that Hayward will remain eligible for reimbursement of local share costs on eligible Public Assistance projects provided by the state through the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA).

SUMMARY

Staff is requesting the City Council to adopt a minor amendment to the Hazards Element of the Hayward 2040 General Plan1 which would adopt and incorporate by reference Hayward’s updated Local Resilience Plan (LRP) into the Hazards Element. The action would also involve inclusion of a footnote reference to the LRP2 in the Hazards Element. The actions are necessary to comply with Assembly Bill 2140 (AB 2140)3.

The LRP sets forth the required five-year update of the 2016 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), in accordance with and with the authority granted by the U.S. Disaster Mitigation Act of 20004. Adoption of the proposed update to the Hazards Element to adopt and incorporate the LRP by reference ensures that Hayward will remain eligible for reimbursement of local share costs on eligible Public Assistance projects provided by the state through the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA).5

BACKGROUND

The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 calls for localities to produce and adopt Local Hazard Mitigation Plans (LHMP) to receive hazard mitigation grants and fully federally funded post-disaster Public Assistance. Compliance with AB 2140 allows California counties and cities to be considered for additional state cost-share on eligible Public Assistance projects.

Typically, local (non-federal) cost share is 25% of the total project cost. However, if the legislature passes a bill declaring a state of emergency, CDAA allows the state to pay up to 18.75% of the nonfederal share of costs incurred due to the emergency which would otherwise fall upon the local jurisdiction. Upon approval of the legislature, local jurisdictions that are AB 2140 compliant are also eligible to be considered for a remaining 6.25% local share to be funded by the state, essentially covering the entire local-share cost for eligible Public Assistance projects.

LHMPs may be prepared by local agencies either individually or in conjunction with regional partners. LHMP’s are required to be updated every five years and must be incorporated by reference and adopted into local General Plans to remain compliant with AB 2140. Updated LHMP/LRPs are reviewed by the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

2010 and 2016 LHMPs

In 2010, the City of Hayward was included in the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG’s) 2010 Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan, which was adopted as an Appendix to the previous General Plan. In 2016, Hayward developed an updated LHMP in coordination with other East Bay jurisdictions and ABAG staff. After being approved by Cal OES, the City’s 2016 LHMP received final approval from FEMA on September 14, 2016. On November 29, 20166, the City Council adopted the City’s 2016 Hayward Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.
2021 Hayward LRP Adoption

The most recent LHMP update was renamed the Hayward Local Resilience Plan (LRP).

The update, which started in 2021, was reviewed and approved by Cal OES and forwarded to FEMA on January 27, 2023. Hayward’s 2021 Local Resilience Plan was adopted by City Council on March 28, 20237 prior to FEMA’s formal approval.

Per FEMA’s Local Mitigation Planning Policy Guide, a jurisdiction may adopt a plan prior to final FEMA approval, recognizing that the state and/or FEMA may require revisions to

the plan. However, FEMA approved Hayward’s LRP on April 11, 2023, with no modifications.

Planning Commission

On March 27, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposed amendment and voted 6:0 with one member absent, to recommend that the City Council approve the amendment as recommended by staff.

DISCUSSION
Local Resilience Plan. The 2016 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, renamed to the Local Resilience Plan (LRP), demonstrates Hayward’s forward-thinking resilience planning and serves as a guiding document for the City’s hazard mitigation activities including but not limited to organizational preparedness, housing retrofits, and public programs. The LRP must be updated every five years to remain eligible to receive hazard mitigation grants and fully federally funded post-disaster Public Assistance. The 2021 update to the LRP contains minimal changes from the adopted version of 2016, as no substantial natural disasters occurred in the five-year period from 2017-2021 and minimal changes occurred in the City's disaster mitigation environment and priorities.

Hazards Element. The Hazards Element of the General Plan includes policies and programs to address natural and man-made hazards including expanding regional coordination and addressing seismic and geologic hazards, flood hazards, rising sea levels, urban wildfire hazards, climate change adaptation and resiliency, hazardous materials, evacuation capacity, and airport hazards.

The amended Hazards Element (Attachment III) incorporates a new footnote to Goal 1 Regional Coordination, by referencing a web link to the updated LRP thus making the LRP easily accessible to the public and incorporating the LRP by reference into the General Plan.

This weblink will also be available on the City’s 2040 General Plan webpage. There are no other proposed edits to the Hazards Element.

Statutory Requirements: Amendments to the Hazards Element are being undertaken pursuant to AB 2140. Adoption of this minor amendment, along with other requirements, makes the county or city eligible to be considered for part or all its local share costs on eligible Public Assistance projects to be provided by the state through the CDAA.

General Plan Amendments: Per HMC Section 10-1.3425(b), the City Council may approve a General Plan Amendment(s) upon making the following findings:

1. Substantial proof exists that the proposed change will promote the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the residents of Hayward.

2. The proposed change is in conformance with the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance and all applicable, officially adopted policies and plans.

3. Streets and public facilities existing or proposed are adequate to serve all uses

permitted when property is reclassified; and

4. All uses permitted when property is reclassified will be compatible with present and potential future uses, and further, a beneficial effect will be achieved which is not obtainable under existing regulations.

PUBLIC CONTACT

On October 23, 2024, the City provided notice of the proposed General Plan Amendment to 21 California Native American tribes with traditional lands or cultural places within the city boundaries in compliance with California Public Resources Code Section 65352.3 – 65352.4 and California Public Resources Code Section 21080.3.1. The City did not receive any requests for consultation about the proposed minor amendment.

On April 11, 2025, a notice about the proposed minor General Plan Amendment was notice of this public hearing was published in The Daily Review and sent to the City’s email interested parties contact list consisting of public agencies, neighborhood groups and interested parties who requested to receive such notices.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

In July 2014, the City Council certified a Final Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR), adopted the Statement of Overriding Considerations, approved the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, Adopted the Hayward 2040 General Plan, and Approved related amendments to the General Plan Land Use Map for certain properties in the Planning Area.

On January 30, 2024 the City Council amended the General Plan to include updates to the Climate Action Plan, an Amended Hazards Element, and a new Environmental Justice Element.

An EIR Addendum, which evaluated the potential environmental impacts of the amendments to the General Plan, was also approved by the Council (Attachment IV).

The Addendum was prepared in accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, which allows a lead agency to prepare an Addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. Specifically, an Addendum is appropriate when there has been no substantial change proposed in the project or the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken, nor is there any new information that would require additional environmental review.

The 2021 update to the LRP was adopted by the City Council on March 28, 2023 and found to be categorically exempt from CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning), 15262 (Feasibility and Planning Studies), 15306 (Information Collection) and 15061(b)(3) (General Rule/No Significant Environmental Effect).

In this case, amending the Hazards Element to adopt and incorporate the LRP by reference is an action that does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and does not require additional environmental review beyond the previously approved 2040 General Plan EIR Addendum. The Addendum fully analyzed the potential environmental impacts of the 2024 Hazards Element update, which included policy goals specifically related to implementation of the previously adopted LRP.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The economic impact of this amendment is largely positive, with benefits that support both short- term financial stability and long-term resilience. Incorporating the LRP into the Hazards Element, the City of Hayward ensures continued eligibility for state reimbursement through the CDAA. This funding helps offset local costs for disaster recovery, reducing financial burdens on the city and taxpayers. Overall, this amendment provides a cost-effective approach to disaster preparedness, safeguarding the local economy from financial shocks while fostering long-term economic stability and growth.

FISCAL IMPACT

The fiscal impacts of this amendment are minimal while providing significant long-term financial benefits. The amendment itself involves minor administrative efforts to incorporate a footnote referencing the LRP. These costs are expected to be negligible and can be absorbed within the city’s existing budget. By aligning with AB 2140, the amendment ensures that Hayward remains eligible for disaster recovery reimbursements under the CDAA. The amendment does not introduce new taxes, fees, or funding allocations. Instead, it strengthens the city’s ability to leverage external funding sources for disaster preparedness and recovery.

SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES

By incorporating a reference to the updated LRP, the amendment reinforces proactive hazard mitigation and long-term environmental planning. The LRP integrates climate adaptation strategies, ensuring that Hayward is prepared for the increasing risks associated with climate change, such as extreme weather events and natural disasters. Additionally, maintaining eligibility for state disaster assistance funding supports the city’s ability to recover sustainably while minimizing financial strain on local resources.

NEXT STEPS
Following adoption, the amended Hazards Element and associated Resolution will be provided to the California Office of Emergency Services.

The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated by reference into this action.

ATTACHMENT II

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT

A. In July 2014, the City Council certified a Final Program Environmental Impact Report, adopted the Statement of Overriding Considerations, approved the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, Adopted the Hayward 2040 General Plan, and Approved related amendments to the General Plan Land Use Map for certain properties in the Planning Area.

B. On January 30, 2024, the City Council amended the General Plan to include up dates to the Climate Action Plan, an Amended Hazards Element, and a new Environmental Justice Element. An EIR Addendum, which evaluated the potential environmental impacts of the General Plan amendments, was prepared p ursuant to California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA) Guidelines Section 15164, and approved by the City Council. Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, allows a lead agency to prepare an Addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. Specifically, an Addendum is appropriate when there has been no substantial change proposed in the project or the circumstances under which the project is bein g undertaken, nor is there any new information that would require additional environmental review. In this case, the proposed Project would not require rezoning or land use changes not previously known or analyzed in the General Plan EIR; therefore, the pr eviously certified Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program remains valid and applicable with the Amendments.

C. The 2021 update to the L ocal Resilience Plan was adopted by the City Council on March 28, 2023 and found to be categorically exempt from CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning), 15262 (Feasibility and Planning Studies), 15306 (Infor mation Collection) and 15061(b)(3) (General Rule/No Significant Environmental Effect).

D. The proposed amendment to the Hazards Element to adopt and incorporate the Local Resilience Plan by reference does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and does not require additional environmental review beyond the previously approved 2040 General Plan EIR Addendum. The Addendum fully analyzed the potential environmental impacts of the 2024 Hazards Element update, which included policy goals specifically related to implementation of the previously adopted L ocal Resilience Plan. Additionally, t he adopted Final EIR identified all potential significant adverse impacts and feasible mitigation measures that would reduce impacts to a level of less than significant, and that all the applicable mitigation measures identified in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and related to the proposed project will be implemented, if applicable, as described in the Addendum. Based on the Fi nal EIR and the Addendum, there is no substantial evidence that adoption and incorporation by reference of the City’s updated Local Resilience Plan to the Hazards Element of the General Plan would have a significant effect on the environment, therefore no further environmental review is necessary.

ATTACHMENT II

E. The proposed amendment complies with CEQA, and the previously certified Final EIR, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and Addendum was reviewed and considered prior to approval.

General Plan Amendment

Pursuant to Hayward Municipal Code (HMC) Section 10 -1.3425(b), the City Council may approve an Amendment to the General Plan upon making the following findings:

A. Substantial proof exists that the proposed change will promote the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the residents of Hayward; The proposed General Plan Amendment to the Regional Coordination Goal set forth in the Hazards Element to adopt and incorporate by reference and provide a footnote link to the adopted Local Resilien ce Plan will promote the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the residents of Hayward in that it will bring the City into compliance with State Law and ensure that the City will remain eligible for additional state cost-share funding on eligible Public Assistance projects. Bringing the Hazards Element into compliance with State Law will mitigate potential hazards through regional coordination, analysis, outreach, communication, collaboration and mitigation which in turn will promote health an d general welfare of the community as a whole.

B. The proposed change is in conformance with the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance and all applicable, officially adopted policies and plans;

The proposed General Plan Amendment would not conflict with the Zoning Ordinance in that the General Plan Amendments are programmatic documents that address existing and potential hazards and negative environmental impacts throughout the community. The proposed amendment to adopt and incorporate by reference and provide a footnote link to the adopted Local Resilience Plan will ensure consistency with State Law and that Hayward remains eligible for state cost -share funding on eligible Public Assistance projects.

C. Streets and public facilities existing or proposed are adequate to serve all uses permitted when property is reclassified;

The proposed General Plan Amendment to the Hazards Element involves simply adding a reference to the adopted Local Resilience Plan and does not include any land use changes or reclassification of property.

ATTACHMENT II

D. All uses permitted when property is reclassified will be compatible with present and potential future uses, and further, a beneficial effect will be achieved which is not obtainable under existing regulations.

The proposed General Plan Amendment to the Hazards Element involves simply adding a reference to the adopted Local Resilience Plan and does not include any land use changes or reclassification of property.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Cou ncil of the City of Hayward, based on the foregoing findings, hereby adopts and incorporates by reference the Local Resilience Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, into the Hazards Element of the Hayward 2040 General Plan.

H A Z A R D S E L E M E N T
The city of Hayward is located in a region that is prone to a variety of natural disasters. The city’s geologic setting was formed by regional and local earthquake faults, many of which are still active and can generate devastating damage to buildings and infrastructure in the event of a n earthquake. The city’s climate can also create hazardous conditions. Severe winter and spring storms can cause landslides in hillside areas and flooding along stream corridors and low-lying areas near the San Francisco Bay. Dry weather during spring and summer months can create hazardous conditions related to wildland fires, which when combined with strong Diablo winds, pose a significant risk to hillside neighborhoods. Climate change is projected to increase the frequency and severity of climate hazards, including increased flood, landslide, drought, extreme heat, and wildfire risks. In addition to natural hazards, Hayward also has a number of transportation facilities and industrial businesses that create risks for man-made hazards, such as aircraft accidents, hazardous material spills, and exposure to excessive noise.

While it is impossible to completely avoid natural and man -made hazards, the Hazards Element establishes goals and policies to protect life and minimize property damage during future disasters and emergencies. The goals and policies address regional hazards mitigation, seismic and geologic hazards, climate change, flood hazards, rising sea levels, wildland wildfires, hazardous materials, airport hazards, and noise.

Several other Elements of the General Plan provide supporting goals and policies that will help the Hayward community prepare for and respond to hazards, including the Community Safety Element, the Natural Resources Element, Public Facilities Element, Environmental Justice Element, the Climate Action Plan, and the Community Health and Quality of Life Element.

Goal 1 Regional Coordination
The impacts of disasters are rarely confined to the
limits of a single jurisdiction , and almost always
affect multiple agencies within a region. As a result, the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000
encourages cooperation between State, regional,
and local agencies, prompting them to work
together to mitigate hazards. This goal and its
supporting policies are designed to promote a
disaster-resilient region through regional
coordination and mitigation planning . This is
accomplished by implementing a Local Hazards
Mitigation Plan , a comprehensive pla n that
addresses local hazards in coordination with state
and regional agencies. By participating in regional
and local hazards mitigation, the City will minimize
disaster risks and improve the safety of the
Hayward community.

Goal 2 Seismic and Geologic
Hazards
Hayward is located in a seismically active region
that contains several major active faults, including
the San Andreas Fault , Hayward Fault , and
Calaveras Fault . The Hay ward Fault crosses
through the c ity and generally runs parallel and
within a few hundred feet of Mission Boulevard .

Other potentially active faults within Hayward
include the Chabot Fault, the Carlos Bee Fault, and
several adjacent and secondary faults . As a result
of its location and geologic setting, the city of
Hayward is subject to a variety of seismic and
geologic hazards, including fault rupture, strong
ground shak ing, liquefaction, and landslides. In
addition, segments of the city could flood if an
earthquake generates a tsunami or causes an up -
stream dam to fail . This goal and its supporting
policies are designed to minimize risks associated
with seismic and geologic hazards.

GOAL HAZ-2

HAZ-2.1 Seismic Safety Codes and
Provisions
The City shall enforce the seismic safety provisions
of the Building Code and Alquist -Priolo Special
Studies Zone Act to minimize earthquake -related
hazards in new construction, particularly as they
relate to high occupancy structures or buildings
taller than 50 feet in height. [Source: Existing Policy] (RDR)
HAZ-2.2 Geologic Investigations
The City shall require a geologic i nvestigation for
new construction on sites within (or partially
within) the following zones:
▪ Fault Zone (see Figure 9.2-1 in the
Hazards Background Report)
▪ Liquefaction Zone (see Figure 9.2-2 in the
Hazards Background Report)
▪ Landslide Zone (see Figure 9.2-3 in the
Hazards Background Report)
A licensed geotechnical engineer shall conduct the
investigation and prepare a written report of
findings and recommended mitigation measures to
minimize potential risks related to seismic and
geologic hazards. [Source: Existing Policy; City Staff, GPUTF] (RDR)

SEISMIC HAZARD TERMINOLOGY

Fault Zone: Zones in which cities and
counties must require special geologic studies
to prevent the construction of structures
intended for human occupancy over an
earthquake fault. The California Geological
Survey publishes maps of the zones as part of
its work to implement the requirements of the
Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone Act. These
maps show the most comprehensive depiction
of fault traces that can rupture during an
earthquake.

Liquefaction: Liquefaction happens when
loosely packed sandy or silty materials
saturated with water are shaken hard enough to
lose strength and stiffness. Liquefied soils
behave like a liquid and are responsible for
tremendous damage in an earthquake, causing
pipes to leak, roads and airport runways to
buckle, and building foundations to be
damaged.

Tsunami: A tsunami (pronounced soo-nah-
mee) is a series of waves generated in a body of
water by a rapid disturbance that vertically
displaces the water. These changes can be
caused by an underwater fault rupture (that
generates an earthquake) or underwater
landslides (typically triggered by earthquakes).

Goal 3 Flood Hazards
Various parts of Hayward are subject to flooding
during major storm events , including shoreline
areas and upland areas located along stream s,
creeks, and drainage ways . The geographic extent
of local f lood hazards is anticipated to increase in
the next century as a result of rising sea levels
caused by climate change . Extreme weather
conditions caused by climate change could also
increase flooding risks during major storms. Parts
of Hayward are also located in dam failure
inundation zones. Dam failure refers to the
uncontrolled release of impounded water stored
behind a dam. It can be caused by heavy rainfall,
earthquakes, landslides, improper operation or
maintenance, poor construction or maintenance,
vandalism, and other natural or human actions.

This goal and its supporting policies are designed
to minimize damage and risks associated with flood
hazards, including flood hazards associated with
extreme weather caused by climate change and dam
failure. Related policies that address rising sea levels are discussed under Goal 4.

Goal 4 Rising Sea Levels
Sea levels are projected to rise by up to 1.9 feet by
mid-century (See the Climate Vulnerability
Assessment in Appendix A). As sea levels rise, the
Hayward shoreline, as well as industrial,
commercial, and residential areas along creeks and
drainage ways, will become more and more
vulnerable to water inundation during both normal
high tides and flooding during major storm events.

If unmitigated, rising sea levels have the potential
to inundate the open space and recreational
resources along the shoreline, and flood nearby
industrial, commercial, and residential areas. This
goal and its supporting policies are designed to
protect the Hayward shoreline and adjacent urban
uses from the impacts of rising sea levels.

The maps below outline mid and end -century sea
level rise projections that display areas with marine
inundation under the separate scenarios. The first
map displays these scenarios outright while the
following shows these scenarios under a 100 -year
or 1 percent chance storm overlaid. The final map
following this section displays groundwater hazard
risk with water table at surface and up to 3.3 feet by
mid-century. Projections in the maps are consistent
with best available science but maintain a high
degree of uncertainty.

Policies related to climate change and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions are provided in the Natural
Resources Element, Mobility Element, and Climate Action Plan.

Goal 5 Urban Wildfire Hazards
The foothill neighborhoods of Hayward are located
adjacent to natural hillsides and open space areas
that are prone to wildfires. This goal and its
supporting policies are designed to minimize urban
wildfire risks through the implementation of
wildland/urban interface guidelines, fire
prevention codes, and open space management
practices that reduce the potential for wildfires. Fire hazards zones are mapped in the figure below this
section showing both high and very high hazard
severity zones (VHFHSZ) located to the northeast
and southeast of Hayward with none directly in city
limits.

Measures in the California Building Code reduce
fire hazards in structures. These include use of
specific building construction materials, fire
separation walls, building separation, and use of fire
sprinklers. Included in development regulations are
requirements for minimum road widths that
provide adequate access for firefighting equipment
and evacuation of residents, as well as clearance
around structures (fuel modification areas) to
prevent the rapid spread of fire.

Water availability and peak load water supply are
essential in combating wildfires. Peak load water
supply refers to the supply of water to meet both
domestic water and fire -fighting needs during the
particular season and time of day when domestic
water demand on a water system is at its peak. As
development occurs, peak load water supply
reserves must be increased. The City of Hayward
and East Bay Municipal Utility District, the City’s
water providers, must ensure peak load water
supply requirements are met.

Goal 10 Noise Hazards
Exposure to excessive noise can impact the health
and quality of life of residents and employees .

Excessive noise can cause hearing loss , stress,
hypertension, sleep disturbance, and fatigue. The
Hayward community contains a variety of noise
sources, including aircraft, trains, vehicle traffic on freeways and roadways, and industrial and

HAZ-10.1 Locating Noise Sensitive Uses
The City shall strive to locate noise sensitive uses,
(e.g., residences, schools, hospitals, libraries,
religious institutions, and convalescent homes)
away from major sources of noise. [Source: Existing

HAZ-10.2 Noise Study and Mitigation
The City shall require development projects in
areas where they may be exposed to major noise
sources (e.g. roadways, rail lines, and aircraft or
other non-transportation noise sources) to conduct
a project level environmental noise analysis. The
noise analysis shall determine noise exposure and
noise standard compatibility with respect to the
noise standards identified in Table HAZ-1 and shall
incorporate noise mitigation when located in noise
environments that are not compatible with the
proposed uses of the project. The City shall use
Table HAZ -1 (Exterior Noise Standards for
Various Land Uses) and Figure HAZ -1 (Future
Noise Contour Maps) to determine potential noise
exposure impacts, noise compatibility thresholds,
and the need for mitigation. The Cit y shall
determine mitigation measures based on project -
specific noise studies, and may include sound
barriers, building setbacks, the use of closed
windows and the installation of heating and air
conditioning ventilation systems, and the
installation of no ise attenuating windows and
wall/ceiling insulation. [Source: Existing Policy]

S NOISE TERMINOLOGY

dBA: Measurement unit for “a-weighted
decibels,” which are commonly used for
measuring environmental and industrial noise
and the potential hearing damage associated
noise health effects.

Equivalent Noise Level (Leq): Constant
noise level that would deliver the same acoustic
energy to the ear of a listener as the actual
time-varying noise would deliver over the same
exposure time. No “penalties” are added to any
noise levels during the exposure time; Leq
would be the same regardless of the time of
day during which the noise occurs.

Day-Night Average Noise Level: (Ldn):

A 24-hour average Leq with a 10 dBA
“penalty” added to noise levels during the
hours of 10:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. to account
for increased sensitivity that people tend to
have to nighttime noise. Because of this
penalty, the Ldn would always be higher than
its corresponding 24-hour Leq (e.g., a constant
60 dBA noise over 24 hours would have a 60
dBA Leq, but a 66.4 dBA Ldn).

Community Noise Equivalent Level
(CNEL): An Ldn with an additional 5 dBA
“penalty” for the evening hours between 7:00
P.M. and 10:00 P.M. This is essentially a
measure of ambient noise.

Sound Exposure Level or Single Event
Level (SEL): A descriptor used to characterize
the severity of short-duration sound events.

SEL is the time-averaged, constant intensity,
A-weighted sound level over a one-second
reference time that would produce the same
sound exposure as the actual time-varying
sound over the actual exposure time. In
practice, SEL is usually applied in situations
where there are multiple sound events, each
one having its own characteristic SEL.

Introduction
Addendum to the City of Hayward General Plan 2040 Environmental Impact Report 1 1 Introduction
This document is an addendum to the City of Hayward General Plan 2040 Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse #2013082015), which was certified by the City of Hayward City Council in July 2014 (2014 General Plan EIR). This addendum addresses the proposed Housing Element Update, Hazards Element Update, and New Environmental Justice Element (“project”).

In accordance with Section 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, codified in Sections 15000 et seq. of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, a lead agency must prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. Under Section 15162(a), where an EIR has been certified for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for the project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record, that there are substantial changes in the project or circumstances or substantially important new information that will cause the project to have significant new impacts or substantially increase previously identified significant impacts.

The addendum does not need to be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the Final EIR (Section 15164[c]). The decision-making body must consider the addendum with the final EIR prior to making a decision on the project (Section 15164[d]). An addendum should include a brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162, supported by substantial evidence, the lead agency's findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record (Section 15164[e]). A discussion on this topic can be found in Section 4, Decision Not to Prepare a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report, of this addendum.

This addendum has been prepared in accordance with relevant provisions of CEQA (California Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq.) and the CEQA Guidelines. It describes the proposed project and compares its impacts to those identified in the 2014 General Plan EIR. The analysis demonstrates that the proposed project does not require the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR.

City of Hayward
Housing Element Update, Hazards Element Update and New Environmental Justice Element 2 2 Background
This section provides an overview of the Hayward 2040 General Plan and its EIR to provide context for this addendum.

2.1 Hayward 2040 General Plan
On July 1, 2014, the City Council of the City of Hayward approved the Hayward 2040 General Plan.

The City’s General Plan provides goals, policies, and programs intending to guide development in the City for 26 years through the planning horizon year of 2040. The General Plan includes 10 elements, including Land Use and Community Character; Mobility; Economic Development; Housing; Community Safety; Natural Resources; Hazards; Education and Lifelong Learning; Community Health and Quality of Life; and Public Facilities and Services which comprise those General Plan elements required by State law (Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Open Space, Conservation, Noise, and Safety), as well as three additional elements. The purpose of the General Plan is to:
 Identify land use, transportation, environmental, economic, and social goals and policies as they relate to land use and development.
 Provide a basis for a community’s decision-making regarding land use.  Provide citizens an opportunity to participate in the planning and decision-making process.  Inform citizens, developers, decision-makers, and others of the ground rules that guide development in the community.

The City of Hayward’s planning area is located approximately 20 miles southeast of San Francisco, in an area commonly referred to as the “East Bay.” The project planning area includes all the land in the City’s Sphere of Influence as defined by the Alameda County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), including all land within the Hayward City limits and adjacent unincorporated county land, including Garin Regional Park, open space areas east of the City, portions of San Lorenzo and Castro Valley, and the communities of Hayward Acres, Cherryland, and Fairview.

2.2 Hayward 2040 General Plan EIR
The City Council certified the EIR for the General Plan (2014 General Plan EIR) in July 2014. The 2014 General Plan EIR evaluated potential environmental consequences associated with the General Plan, focusing in depth on the following environmental issue areas:
 Ae
sthetics and Visual Resources
 Agricultural and Forestry Resources
 Air Quality
 Biological Resources
 Geology, Soils, and Minerals
 Global Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
 Historic and Cultural Resources
 Hydrology and Water Quality
 Land Use and Planning
 Noise
 Population and Housing
 Public Services
 Transportation and Circulation
 Utilities and Service Systems
Atttachment IV
Background

Addendum to the City of Hayward General Plan 2040 Environmental Impact Report 3 The 2014 General Plan EIR found that the General Plan’s goals, policies, and programs as well as required mitigation measures would reduce most of the potential environmental impacts that would occur due to buildout of the General Plan. However, impacts related to air quality, noise, and transportation and circulation were determined to be significant and unavoidable. Accordingly, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations for these significant and unavoidable impacts as required under CEQA Guidelines Section 15093.

The 2014 General Plan EIR studied the impacts of an estimated buildout of 67,112 dwelling units and a population of 208,047 within Hayward City limits and an estimated buildout of 85,794 dwelling units and a population of 265,962 within the Hayward Planning Area

Housing Element Update, Hazards Element Update and New Environmental Justice Element

4 3 Project Description
The project consists of a comprehensive update to the City of Hayward Housing Element (herein referred to as “Housing Element Update”), a comprehensive update to the City of Hayward Hazards Element (herein referred to as “Hazards Element Update”), and the addition of the City of Hayward Environmental Justice Element (herein referred to as “Environmental Justice Element”), which are altogether referred to as the “project.”

3.1 Housing Element Update

3.1.1 Project Description
State law requires that housing elements be updated every eight years (California Government Code Sections 65580 to 65589.8). The Housing Element Update identifies residential sites adequate to accommodate a variety of housing types for all income levels and needs of special population groups, defined under State law (California Government Code Section 65583). It analyzes governmental constraints to housing maintenance, improvement, and development; addresses conservation and improvement of the condition of existing affordable housing stock; and outlines policies that promote housing opportunities for all persons. The City of Hayward Housing Element is being updated as part of the State’s 6th cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation. For Hayward, the planning period runs from January 31, 2023 through January 31, 2031.

The project would bring the City’s Housing Element into compliance with State legislation passed since the publication of the previous (5th Cycle) Housing Element (adopted in December 2014). The Housing Element Update includes a housing sites inventory (Appendix C of the Housing Element) that demonstrates how the city plans to meet its 6th cycle RHNA allocation. However, no formal land use changes or physical development are proposed at the time of adoption of the Housing Element.

The Housing Element Update will not, in and of itself, result in environmental impacts as it does not propose to develop any projects. Rather, it establishes objectives and policies designed to guide future development as the City works to achieve State-mandated housing goals. Specifically, the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) as shown in the table below.

Extremely
Low Income
Very Low
Income Low Income
Moderate
Income
Above Moderate
Income Total
Dwelling Units 547 528 617 817 2, 115 4,624
Future development will require project-specific developmental review as potential impacts are location-specific and cannot be assessed in a meaningful way until a project site and development proposal are identified. When a specific development proposal is considered for approval, that project would be subject to adopted development guidelines/standards and it must comply with the 2040 General Plan policies and actions listed as mitigation measures in the certified 2014 General Plan EIR (in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15168[c][3]). If a subsequent activity (in this case a specific development proposal) would have effects not identified in the program EIR (the 2014 General Plan EIR and this Addendum), the lead agency must prepare additional CEQA documentation prior to project approval.

Atttachment IV
Project Description
Addendum to the City of Hayward General Plan 2040 Environmental Impact Report 5 This Addendum, therefore, analyzes the changes and potential impacts related to the adoption of Housing Element Update. No physical development or land use changes are addressed or evaluated.

The City would analyze land use changes separately to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of CEQA, if necessary. This Addendum is intended to demonstrate consistency of the Housing Element Update with the existing 2014 General Plan EIR to comply with the requirements of CEQA. In particular, and in line with Public Resources Code Section 21083.3, this Addendum Evaluation assesses whether the updated Housing Element, as a policy and programs document, includes impacts not addressed or analyzed as significant effects in the 2014 General Plan EIR.

3.1.2 Project Context
The purpose of the Housing Element is to achieve an adequate supply of decent, safe, and affordable housing for Hayward’s existing and future workforce, residents, and special needs populations. Housing Element law is designed to ensure that low-income families are not excluded from opportunities in all communities and to promote economic and environmental sustainability throughout the region. The Housing Element strives to conserve the city’s existing housing stock, while affirmatively furthering fair housing and providing opportunities for new housing for all economic segments of the community.

State Housing Element law requires that local jurisdictions describe and analyze the housing needs of their community, the barriers or constraints to providing that housing, and actions proposed to address these concerns over an eight-year period. In addition, Housing Element law requires each city and county to accommodate its “fair share” of projected housing need over the Housing Element planning period. Cities and counties must demonstrate that adequate sites are available to accommodate this need, and that the jurisdiction allows for development of a variety of housing types. This housing need requirement is known as the RHNA and apportions to each jurisdiction its portion of the Bay Area’s projected need.

To make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community, the Housing Element establishes goals, policies, and programs to:
 Conserve and improve the condition of the existing affordable housing stock;  Assist in the development of housing affordable to low and moderate income households;  Identify adequate sites to encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for all income levels;
 Address and, where appropriate and legally possible, affirmatively further fair housing and remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing;
 Promote equal housing opportunities for all persons; and  Provide for the special housing needs of seniors, persons with disabilities, large families with children, single female-headed households, and the homeless.

The goals and policies of the Housing Element are closely related to several other elements of the General Plan, including the Land Use and Community Character Element and the Community Health and Quality of Life Element.

Housing Element Update, Hazards Element Update and New Environmental Justice Element 6 3.2 Hazards Element Update

3.2.1 Project Description
The Hazards Element (also referred to as a Safety Element in State Law) is one of seven required elements of the General Plan and specifically addresses natural hazards and environmental risks to the community. Hayward’s Hazards Element is included in the General Plan.

California Government Code Section 65302(g) requires all local jurisdictions to update their Safety Element upon each revision of the Housing Element or Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Hayward’s Hazards Element Update will occur shortly after the Housing Element Update. The State of California specifies types of information that must be updated, notably, climate change resiliency and adaptation mitigation. Other topics relating to natural hazards, which are already addressed in the Hazards Element but may be updated as necessary to reflect new information, include: fire risk, seismic risk, flood risk, site contamination, and the City’s ability to respond to natural and manmade disasters.

This Addendum, therefore, analyzes the changes and potential impacts related to the adoption of Hazards Element Update. No physical development or land use changes are addressed or evaluated.

The City would analyze land use changes separately to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of CEQA, if necessary. This Addendum is intended to demonstrate consistency of the Hazards Element Update with the existing 2014 General Plan EIR to comply with the requirements of CEQA. In particular, and in line with Public Resources Code Section 21083.3, this Addendum Evaluation assesses whether the Hazards Element Update, as a policy and programs document, includes impacts not addressed or analyzed as significant effects in the 2014 General Plan EIR.

3.2.2 Project Context
The city of Hayward is located in a region that is prone to a variety of natural disasters. The city’s geologic setting was formed by regional and local earthquake faults, many of which are still active and can generate devastating damage to buildings and infrastructure in the event of an earthquake.

The city’s climate can also create hazardous conditions. Severe winter and spring storms can cause landslides in hillside areas and flooding along stream corridors and low-lying areas near the San Francisco Bay. Dry weather during spring and summer months can create hazardous conditions related to wildland fires, which when combined with strong Diablo winds, pose a significant risk to hillside neighborhoods. Climate change is projected to increase the frequency and severity of climate hazards, including increased flood, landslide, drought, extreme heat, and wildfire risks. In addition to natural hazards, Hayward also has a number of transportation facilities and industrial businesses that create risks for man-made hazards, such as aircraft accidents, hazardous material spills, and exposure to excessive noise.

While it is impossible to completely avoid natural and man-made hazards, the Hazards Element establishes goals and policies to protect life, encourage education and preparation for natural hazard events and minimize property damage during future disasters and emergencies. The goals and policies address regional hazards mitigation, seismic and geologic hazards, climate change, flood hazards, rising sea levels, wildland fires, hazardous materials, airport hazards, and noise.

Several other Elements of the General Plan provide supporting goals and policies that will help the Hayward community prepare for and respond to hazards, including the Community Safety Element, Atttachment IV

3.3 New Environmental Justice Element

3.3.1 Project Description
Environmental Justice is a concept focused on addressing the systemic causes of the unequal environmental burden placed on disadvantaged communities, especially minority and low-income populations. Efforts towards environmental justice have aimed to improve the status of disadvantaged communities through effective planning and policy decisions. In California, the Planning for Healthy Communities Act of 2016 (Senate Bill 1000), was established to address the role of environmental justice in local and regional planning practice. Formally, California law defines “environmental justice” as the fair treatment of people of all races, cultures, and incomes with respect to the development, adoption, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies (Government Code Section 65040.12[e]). Through Senate Bill 1000, jurisdictions are now required to identify environmental justice communities (called “disadvantaged communities”) within their planning area and incorporate environmental justice into their general plans.

This Addendum, therefore, analyzes the changes and potential impacts related to the adoption of a new Environmental Justice Element. No physical development or land use changes are addressed or evaluated. The City would analyze land use changes separately to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of CEQA, if necessary. This Addendum is intended to demonstrate consistency of the Environmental Justice Element with the 2014 General Plan EIR to comply with the requirements of CEQA. In particular, and in line with Public Resources Code Section 21083.3, this Addendum Evaluation assesses whether the new Environmental Justice Element, as a policy and programs document, includes impacts not addressed or analyzed as significant effects in the 2014 General Plan EIR.

3.3.2 Project Context
Historically, negative environmental impacts have been shown to disproportionately affect marginalized populations, including racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic minorities. As a result of these environmental impacts, marginalized populations tend to have poorer health and safety outcomes relative to the broader population. The various environmental impacts that tend to affect marginalized populations include but are not limited to increased exposure to pollutants, increased proximity to contaminated facilities/structures, and decreased access to public resources relative to other communities. These environmental impacts are directly linked to one another and thus can result in a compounded environmental burden on certain populations.

As described in the new Environmental Justice Element, none of the 37 census tracts within Hayward meet the state definition of a “disadvantaged community”; however, there are neighborhoods that have measurable impacts in various areas, referred to as population and/or pollution burdens, which can be addressed through this new element.

The City of Hayward is committed to promoting environmental justice through the effective implementation of this Environmental Justice Element. The Environmental Justice Element contains a comprehensive set of goals and policies aimed at increasing the role and influence of historically marginalized populations within their communities and reducing their exposure to environmental Atttachment IV

8 and health hazards. The goals and policies in this plan are centered around six focus areas. These focus areas are areas identified by the California Government Code Section 65302(h) as policy topics necessary for reducing the unique or compounded health risks in disadvantaged communities. The six focus areas are as follows:
 Pollution Exposure and Air Quality
 Public Facilities
 Safe and Sanitary Homes
 Physical Activity and Public Health
 Food Access
 Civic and Community Engagement
The Environmental Justice Element is divided into three sections. The first section is a summary of the public participation opportunities included as part of the Element development process. The second section presents the methodology used to identify environmental justice communities in Hayward. The third section outlines the environmental justice goals and policies and provides a summary of the baseline environmental conditions associated with each goal. The goals, policies, and programs describe how the City of Hayward will incorporate environmental justice into decision making and support positive outcomes for affected residents.

3.4 Discretionary Action
Implementation of the project would require the following discretionary actions by the City of Hayward Planning Commission/City Council:
 Approval of an Addendum to the 2014 General Plan EIR
 Adoption of a General Plan Amendment to incorporate the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update  Adoption of a General Plan Amendment to incorporate the Hazards Element Update  Adoption of a General Plan Amendment to incorporate the new Environmental Justice Element

10 4 Decision Not to Prepare a Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report
As outlined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, a lead agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. The conditions described in Section 15162 include the following:

Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

The impact analysis that follows demonstrates that the proposed Housing Element Update, Hazards Element Update, and new Environmental Justice Element would not result in new significant environmental impacts beyond those that have already been identified and characterized in the 2014 General Plan EIR, and that there are no substantial changes in the project or circumstances or substantially important new information that would cause the project to have significant new impacts or substantially increase previously identified significant impacts. None of the conditions described above in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would call for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred or would occur as a result of the proposed project. Therefore, this addendum is the appropriate level of environmental documentation under CEQA. This addendum will be considered by the City’s decision-making body in its consideration of the proposed project.

Addendum to the City of Hayward General Plan 2040 Environmental Impact Report 11 5 Environmental Impacts
This addendum evaluates potential environmental impacts that could result from the proposed project in the context of/compared to the growth projections and impacts studied in the 2014 General Plan EIR. The existing environmental conditions in and around the project area are substantially the same under present conditions as described in the 2014 General Plan EIR except where conditions have changed in accordance with the assumptions of the 2014 General Plan and related EIR. The analysis below provides updates where necessary to characterize potential impacts.

Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines provides a checklist of environmental issue areas suggested for assessment in CEQA analyses. Since preparation of the 2014 General Plan EIR, revisions to the CEQA Guidelines have occurred to include environmental issue areas pertaining to energy, vehicle miles traveled (VMT), tribal cultural resources, and wildfire. To provide a thorough and conservative analysis of potential impacts associated with the proposed project, this addendum addresses the 20 environmental issue areas suggested by Appendix G of the 2022 CEQA Guidelines, listed below.  Aesthetics
 Agriculture and Forest Resources
 Air Quality
 Biological Resources
 Cultural Resources
 Energy
 Geology and Soils
 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
 Hydrology and Water Quality
 Land Use and Planning
 Mineral Resources
 Noise
 Population and Housing
 Public Services
 Recreation
 Transportation
 Tribal Cultural Resources
 Utilities and Service Systems
 Wildfire
Potential environmental impacts of the proposed project are analyzed to determine whether they are consistent with the impact analysis provided in the 2014 General Plan EIR, and whether additional mitigation measures are required to minimize or avoid further potential impacts. Where the following analysis identifies impacts, discussion of previously identified mitigation measures from the 2014 General Plan EIR and existing applicable policies and regulations are discussed, as relevant, with respect to mitigating potential impacts from the proposed project.

5.1 Aesthetics
Impacts Identified in the 2014 General Plan EIR
Impacts related to aesthetics were analyzed on pages 5-1 through 5-34 of the 2014 General Plan EIR. The 2014 General Plan EIR determined that cumulative mitigating benefits of the General Plan programs and policies would result in a less than significant impacts to scenic vistas; scenic resources; visual character or quality; and light or glare that would affect day or nighttime views.

Therefore, impacts regarding aesthetics were determined to be less than significant, and no mitigation was required.

Housing Element Update, Hazards Element Update and New Environmental Justice Element

12 Impacts of the Proposed Project
Housing Element Update
The Housing Element Update is a policy document consistent with the General Plan. The Housing Element Update includes housing sites located throughout the City that were evaluated previously for potential environmental impacts in the 2014 General Plan EIR. The Housing Element Update does not propose changes to zoning to achieve increased buildout beyond the previous General Plan estimates.

The Housing Element Update, in and of itself, does not include a specific project involving a new housing development, but puts forth goals and policies that support housing efforts in Hayward.

Because it is a policy document, the Housing Element Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to scenic vistas, scenic resources, or visual character, and will not create new sources of substantial light or glare which adversely affects views. Future development would be required to undergo site-specific environmental review, and be subject to adopted development guidelines, including standards that govern visual quality and community design.

Hazards Element Update
The Hazards Element Update is a policy document consistent with the General Plan. The goals and policies in the Hazards Element Update address regional hazards mitigation, seismic and geologic hazards, climate change, flood hazards, rising sea levels, wildland fires, hazardous materials, airport hazards, and noise. Policies within the Hazards Element Update add to the City’s safety measures, protocols, and practices that may lead to a decrease in adverse physical impacts to the City. Thus, the Hazards Element Update is consistent with the findings in the 2014 General Plan EIR and would not lead to significant impacts.

The Hazards Element Update, in and of itself, does not include a specific project involving development or changes in land use, but puts forth goals and policies that support safety efforts in Hayward. Because it is a policy document, the Hazards Element Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to scenic vistas, scenic resources, or visual character, and will not create new sources of substantial light or glare which adversely affects views.

Environmental Justice Element
The Environmental Justice Element is a policy document consistent with the General Plan. Th e goals
and policies in the Environmental Justice Element address pollution exposure, public facilities and accessibility, food access, sanitary and safe homes, and disadvantaged communities. The Environmental Justice Update is a policy document that would not propose any changes to land use.

Policies within the Environmental Justice Element are meant to aid areas of the city that are disproportionately affected by environmental pollution and other hazards that can lead to negative health effects, exposure, or environmental degradation. Thus, the Environmental Justice Element is consistent with the findings in the 2014 General Plan EIR and would not lead to significant impacts.

The Environmental Justice Element, in and of itself, does not include a specific project involving d

5.3 Air Quality
Impacts Identified in the 2014 General Plan EIR
The 2014 General Plan EIR discusses air quality impacts on pages 7-1 through 7-40 and finds that odor-related impacts would be less than significant. Impacts associated with short-term construction, long-term operational emissions, and health risk exposure to toxic air contaminants (TAC) and particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) would be significant and unavoidable, even after application of all feasible mitigation. The 2014 General Plan EIR includes the incorporation of specific source-reduction and receptor-oriented risk reduction measures and best management practices (BMPs), although the overall effectiveness of these measures in reducing communitywide health risk could not be quantified. These impacts would, therefore, remain significant and unavoidable. Because the General Plan would not be fully consistent with the primary goals of the Bay Area 2010 Clean Air Plan with the elevated emissions projected, the 2014 General Plan EIR found that this impact would be significant and unavoidable.

Because it is a policy document, the Housing Element Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to air quality. Potential air quality-related impacts cannot be assessed in a meaningful way without a project-specific analysis covering the location and size of proposed developments, which includes construction air quality emissions, project operational emissions and potential VMT.

Future, unknown short-term air quality impacts resulting from construction of the identified sites and other unknown future development sites, such as dust generated by clearing and grading activities, exhaust from emission from gas- and diesel-powered construction equipment, and vehicular emissions associated with the commuting of construction workers will be subject to Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) rules and protocols. Similarly, operational impacts would be addressed by provisions in the General Plan, the Hayward Municipal Code, and other regulations and standards that govern air quality in Hayward. All future development consistent with the Housing Element Update would be required to undergo site-specific environmental review and to comply with all relevant regulations related to air quality at the time of construction.

Conclusion
No substantial changes have occurred that require major revisions to the 2014 General Plan EIR.

There is no new information indicating that the proposed project would have new significant impacts or substantially more severe significant impacts with respect to recreation than were identified in the 2014 General Plan EIR. None of the conditions listed in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR would occur. No new mitigation measures are necessary.

5.17 Transportation
Impacts Identified in the 2014 General Plan EIR

Environmental Impacts

Addendum to the City of Hayward General Plan 2040 Environmental Impact Report 33 determined that additional traffic from the General Plan would result in a considerable contribution to significant transportation impacts. Impacts to Congestion Management Program and Metropolitan Transportation System roadways were determined to be less than significant. Impacts to air traffic, design feature hazards, emergency access, and alternative modes of transportation were determined to be less than significant. Since certification of the EIR and pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 743, the City of Hayward has adopted VMT as the primary metric to analyze transportation impacts instead of LOS.

5.18 Tribal Cultural Resources
Impacts Identified in the 2014 General Plan EIR
Tribal Cultural Resources was added to the 2016 CEQA Guidelines as a separate environmental issue area. Thus, the 2014 General Plan EIR does not include a chapter or section dedicated to analysis of impacts to tribal cultural resources. However, it does analyze general impacts to historical and cultural resources (including archeological resources that may originate from Native American tribes) in Section 12, Historical and Cultural Resources, and concludes that impacts to historic and cultural resources would be less than significant. Implementation of existing regulations and General Plan policies LU-8.3 (Historic Preservation), LU-8.4 (Survey and Historic Reports), and LU-

8.13 (Planning Study Considerations) would ensure that archaeological sites and resources, including undocumented human remains and those resources specifically of significance to Native Americans, would be protected, properly documented, and integral to the City’s planning process.

Conclusion

Addendum to the City of Hayward General Plan 2040 Environmental Impact Report 39 6 Conclusion
The City of Hayward, acting as the lead agency, determined that an addendum is the appropriate environmental document under CEQA because the proposed project would not require revisions to the certified 2014 General Plan EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or substantial increases in the severity of significant effects previously identified in the 2014 General Plan EIR.

There are no changed circumstances or new information that meets the standards for requiring further environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Thus, these circumstances and information would not result in new or more severe impacts beyond what were addressed in the 2014 General Plan EIR and would not meet any other standards under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3). No additional analysis is required based on the discussions throughout this addendum.

The proposed Housing Element Update, Hazards Element Update, and new Environmental Justice Element would not involve development in areas not assumed for development in the 2014 General Plan EIR, nor would it result in population growth and density beyond what was analyzed in the 2014 General Plan EIR. The project would not result in significant or substantially more severe impacts that were not discussed in the 2014 General Plan EIR. Also, there are no previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantial new information that was not known at the time of the previous environmental review, would be substantially more severe than discussed in the 2014 General Plan EIR. Accordingly, no additional CEQA review is required.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states that “[t]he lead agency or a responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.” An addendum is therefore appropriate because, as explained above, none of the conditions calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.
