CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 18, 2022
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution Authorizing Remote Meetings PREPARED BY: Raina Allan, City Clerk
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):
Provide Effective Governance
Maintain and Enhance Public Health and Safety
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Adopt a Resolution authorizing remote meetings of the City Council and other legislative bodies.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:
The City has made and continues to engage in extensive outreach to the community regarding the City’s response to COVID-19, including updates at public meetings.
BACKGROUND:
On or about March 4, 2020, as part of the State of California’s response to address the global COVID-19 outbreak, Governor Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency to make additional resources available, formalize emergency actions already underway across multiple state agencies and departments, and help the state prepare for broader spread of COVID-19 following one official COVID-19 death.
When the COVID-19 pandemic started, local agency boards struggled to conduct their meetings in compliance with the Brown Act’s public accessibility requirements while still abiding by stayat-home orders. As a result, Governor Newsom signed Orders N-25-20, N-29-20, and N-35-20 to grant local agencies the flexibility to meet remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. These orders expired on September 30, 2021.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed into law AB 361 – Brown Act: Remote Meetings During Emergencies. AB 361, codified at Government Code Section 54953(e)(1)(B), amended the Brown Act to allow public agencies to allow local legislative bodies to continue meeting by teleconference during a gubernatorial proclaimed state of emergency if the local
6.D
Packet Pg. 226
legislative body determines, by majority vote, that as a result of the emergency, meeting entirely in person without restrictions would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
By adopting the proposed resolution, the Council would, on behalf of the City Council and all other legislative bodies formed by the Council, make the findings required by AB 361 to meet remotely. Because the Council is required to make these findings every thirty days, staff will place a version of this resolution on the consent calendar at all subsequent meetings, until the Council decides that meeting fully in person will no longer pose an imminent risk to the health or safety of attendees.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
This section is not applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
Because the Governor’s Order authorizing online meetings has expired, if the Council does not adopt the proposed resolution, the Council should immediately return to in-person meetings.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is not a fiscal impact as a direct result of this action.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to Title 14, the California Code of Regulations, Section 15378(b)(5) of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) guidelines, the proposed action is an administrative activity of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.

CITY OF HEALDSBURG
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 18, 2022
SUBJECT: Amend the Healdsburg Municipal Code updating the Water Shortage Contingency Plan to better comply with statewide recommendations.
PREPARED BY: Terry Crowley, Utilities Director
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):
Provide Effective Governance
Maintain and Enhance Public Health and Safety
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Introduce for first reading, by title only, waiving further reading of the text, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Healdsburg amending section 13.12.220 of the Healdsburg Municipal Code, Water Shortage Contingency Plan.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:
During 2021 several public meetings were held to discuss and finalize the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan. Those meeting included discussions on Healdsburg’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan and amendments recommended by the State.
BACKGROUND:
During times of drought and short water supplies the City of Healdsburg relies on section
13.12.220 of the Healdsburg Municipal Code (HMC) to effect water conservation. The City’s current code contains three stages of water conservation. The first stage allows for a 10-percent voluntary reduction in water use, the second stage requires a 20-percent reduction, and the third stage requires a 40-percent or greater reduction in water usage.
To provide consistency across California, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) recommends amending Water Shortage Contingency Plans to include six stages of conservation.
Each stage would include progressively higher levels of conservation in increments of 10- percent. Additionally, each stage would provide guidance on what uses of water are either reduced or fully prohibited to meet the needed reduction in water demands.
Currently the City of Healdsburg has implemented stage two of the existing code. Stage two requires a 20-percent reduction in water usage and restricts certain types of water usage such as
7.A
Packet Pg. 233
new swimming pools, washing of sidewalks with potable water, use of potable water for construction purposes, and others.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
To meet DWR’s recommendations, city staff and the city attorney have drafted amendments to HMC section 13.12.220. Primarily these amendments increase the number of water conservation stages from three to six and include additional water conservation measures appropriate for each stage. Additionally, the proposed amendments allow the City Council flexibility to change or modify water use restriction as needed. Creating flexibility within the ordinance allows the City Council to adjust to changing community needs and priorities during future water shortages.
The table below provides a summary of the stages and some of the water use restrictions within each stage. Included with the proposed amendments is the concept of a residential water budget.
Within stages four through six, the proposed residential water budget provides a measurable goal for City’s water customers while also providing flexibility for residents in how they choose to save water. Additionally, stages five and six restrict new development by requiring developers achieve an equal or greater amount of conservation within the community before being granted temporary or final occupancy.
Water Conservation Stage Summary of Included Stages
Stage 1 – 10% Customer education and outreach, common sense conservation measures such as not washing sidewalks, reducing irrigation, using automatic shut-off nozzles
Stage 2 – 20% Irrigation 3x/week, restaurants only serve water upon request, halt permits for new pools, repair leaks within seven-days, construction using recycled water, hotels and restaurants educating guest on water conservation
Stage 3 – 30% Irrigation 2x/week, prohibit new plantings except for droughtresistant landscapes, no power washing unless necessary for public health, Residential water budget of 4-HCF (99 gallons per person per day), Commercial and Industrial reduction of 30% or greater
Stage 4 – 40% Irrigation 1x/week but prohibit irrigation of ornamental lawns, Residential water budget of 3-HCF (74 gallons per person per day), Commercial and Industrial reduction of 40% or greater Stage 5 – 50% No outdoor irrigation, Residential water budgets of 2-HCF (50 gallons per person per day), Commercial and Industrial reduction of 50% or greater, new development must achieve an equal amount of water conservation prior to receiving occupancy (exemption for affordable housing)
Stage 6 – Greater than 50% No outdoor irrigation, Water budgets of less than 40 gallons per person per day, Commercial and Industrial reduction of 60% or greater, new development must achieve two-times the water conservation prior to receiving occupancy (exemption for affordable housing)
7.A
Packet Pg. 234
The proposed measures are designed to achieve the desired level of conservation. However, as the City implements water conservation during normal and wet years, there may be a need for the Council to modify these restrictions. As mentioned earlier, at the time of implementing any of the stages the City Council can modify the existing restrictions or add new restrictions to achieve the needed conservation. This flexibility helps assure that the city will be able to respond to future droughts and water shortages.
Currently the City is under Stage 2 water restrictions. The current and proposed Stage 2 restrictions align well and will not require modifications to restrictions currently in place. One notable difference is that the current ordinance allows outdoor irrigation every other day and the proposed amendment restricts outdoor irrigation to three days per week (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday). Due to current soil conditions and temperatures, irrigation is not needed at this time and this change should not impact the public.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
Conservation of water, especially during times of drought and short water supplies, preserves water necessary to support the natural environment. While the Russian River supplies the city with drinking water, the Russian River also supports the plants and animals existing along the Russian River. Having a plan in place to effectively reduce water demands helps support the natural environment surrounding Healdsburg.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could choose not to adopt the proposed amendment and provide further direction to staff. Staff does not recommend this action as the amendments are needed to improve the City’s ability to respond to droughts and build consistency in messaging throughout the watershed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Beyond staff time, there is no fiscal impact with the proposed amendments. Should the City experience a shortage in water supplies, enacting the water shortage contingency plan will reduce water usage and subsequently reduce revenues necessary to continue the operation of the City’s water utility.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The recommended action is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15308 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment), in that the ordinance will strengthen the City’s ability to manage its water resources. The project is also exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act under the “common sense” exemption, CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3)), since “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” Therefore, no further CEQA or environmental review is required.

D. Application. The provisions of this plan shall apply to all customers and property served by the City’s potable water and recycled water systems.
E. Water Conservation Stages. No customer shall make, cause, use, or permit the use of water for residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, governmental, or any other purpose in a manner contrary to any provision of this plan, or in an amount in excess of that use permitted by conservation Stage 2 through 6 when in effect as declared by resolution of the City Council. While in effect, the requirements of Stage 2 through 6 will supersede any conflicting sections of the Healdsburg Municipal Code.
Enactment of the restrictions and limitations required by each Stage described herein shall be by City Council resolution. The City Council may, by resolution, modify the following conservation measures, require additional conservation measures, or prohibit other activities and water uses upon the recommendation of the City Manager or City Engineer that such additional measures are necessary to achieve the desired overall system-wide reduction in water usage.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:
On September 13, 2021, the Healdsburg City Council held a workshop on local and regional efforts to address homelessness. During this workshop, the public was invited to participate in a discussion on programs, services, and future needs associated with addressing homelessness in
8.A
Packet Pg. 244
Healdsburg. One of the main topics of that workshop was a discussion on the establishment of interim housing shelter in Healdsburg.
Since City staff received direction to seek grant funding under the Project Homekey program, City staff and Reach for Home have held two community meetings, met with the Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee, and held dozens of meetings with businesses and individuals on the purchase and operation of the L&M Motel, 70 Healdsburg Avenue (Project Site), for use as interim housing. This included sending notifications to businesses and residents within 1,000 feet of the Project Site.
Staff recognizes that a continued dialog with the community is imperative to ensure a successful project and to meet the expectations of surrounding neighbors, businesses, and the clients the project will serve.
BACKGROUND:
In July of 2020, the State of California launched a $750 million program called “Project Homekey,” with the aim of helping local communities rapidly acquire hotels, motels, commercial buildings, and other creative housing types to rapidly house people experiencing homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic. Project Homekey resulted in 8,264 individuals housed across 120 unique properties
Given the success of Project Homekey, the State of California budged an additional $1.45 billion for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-2022. Of the $1.45 billion in Homekey funding, $1.2 billion is derived from the Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund (CSFRF) established by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 and $250 million is State General Fund.
On October 18, 2021, the City Council authorized City staff, in collaboration with Reach for Home (Reach) and Burbank Housing (Burbank), to apply for the FY 2021-2022 Project Homekey program for the acquisition by the City of the Project Site for use as interim housing for those experiencing homelessness.
On October 27, 2021, the City, Reach and Burbank submitted an application to the State of California for $5,720,000 in Project Homekey capital funding and $1,328,800 in operating subsidy for a total of $7,048,800 in State funds.
On December 21, 2021, the State of California announced that the City, Reach and Burbank were successful in their application for Project Homekey funding and have conditionally awarded the requested funding pending the execution of the State’s Standard Agreements.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution to:
1. Find and determine that the acquisition and rehabilitation of the L&M Motel, 70 Healdsburg Avenue, and subsequent operation as interim housing, is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines
8.A
Packet Pg. 245
Section 15061(b)(3) or alternatively is exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15310.
2. Accept the award of Project Homekey funding from the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development for the acquisition and operation of the L&M Motel, 70 Healdsburg Avenue, as interim housing.
3. Approve a Purchase and Sale Agreement between the City of Healdsburg and Sandra A.
Bock for the purchase of the L&M Motel, 70 Healdsburg Avenue.
4. Authorize the City Manager to enter into, execute, and deliver the Purchase and Sale Agreement and related documents to Sandra A. Bock and to take any other actions necessary to effectuate the terms and conditions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
5. Authorize the City Manager to enter into, execute, and deliver a Standard Agreement and related documents to the State of California and to take any other actions necessary to effectuate the terms and conditions of the Project Homekey funding.
Grant Award
On December 21, 2021, the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (Department) issued an award letter (Attachment A) to the City of Healdsburg for the acquisition, renovation, and operation of the Project Site for 22-units of interim housing for those experiencing homelessness.
As a part of the City’s application, the Department awarded the City of Healdsburg the following funding:
State Funding Award Amount
Homekey Capital Funding $4,400,000
Homekey Capital Contribution (1:1 Match) $1,100,000
Bonus Award (Early Application Submittal) $220,000 (capital) Total Homekey Capital Award $5,720,000
Homekey Operating Subsidy $1,108,800
Bonus Award (Fully Occupancy) $220,000 (operating)*
Total Homekey Operating Subsidy $1,328,800
Total Homekey Funds $7,048,800
*Conditioned on achieving full occupancy by August 21, 2022.
The City’s application was awarded funding based upon Project Homekey guidelines for units serving those experiencing chronic homelessness. These units are eligible for a baseline amount of $200,000 a door for capital expenditures and $1,400 per month, per door, for operational costs.
In addition, since the City submitted its application prior to January 31, 2021, the City was awarded an additional capital bonus of $10,000 per door. The City also anticipates receiving an occupancy bonus of $10,000 per door, which is conditioned on the project being at full occupancy within eight months of the grant award date.
8.A
Packet Pg. 246
Match Funding
On October 26, 2021, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors adopted a Resolution outlining a Project Homekey Supportive Services Funding Framework and Early Capital Match Program to support Project Homekey applications in obtaining State matching funds. The County authorized up to $1.3M in early capital match incentives and $5.2M annually for operational subsides over a seven-year period.
As a part of the City’s application, and in consultation with County staff, the City requested $1.1M in early capital match and $3,388,660 in operational subsidy over a seven-year period to include in its application. The addition of the County match funding to the City’s application was able to leverage additional State funding in the following manner:
Source Homekey
Base Award County Match Homekey Match Bonus Total
Capital Match $4,400,000 $1,100,000 $1,100,000 $220,000 $6,820,000 Operational Match* $3,388,660 $1,108,800 $220,000 $4,717,460 Total $11,537,469
* Because the City could demonstrate a funding commitment of four or more years, the City was eligible for a State operating subsidy for three years.
While the County of Sonoma approved the Project Homekey Supportive Services Funding Framework and Early Capital Match Program, the City does not have a formal commitment from the County on the exact funding amounts at this point in time. Based on discussions with County officials, staff is confident that the full County match for operating funds will be provided and that the County match for capital will be at or near the amount requested.
Matching funds can be spent over the lifespan of the grant program. Therefore, there is time to secure more formal funding commitments from the County without affecting the project’s cashflow. It is also important to note, when the County created this match funding program, it was based upon 230 beds being awarded Project Homekey funding within Sonoma County. Due to the competitive nature of the Homekey grant, and the limited funding in the Bay Area, it is unlikely that all 230 beds in Sonoma County will be awarded. This could potentially increase the amount of funding available in Sonoma County for projects that have already been funded.
Purchase and Sale Agreement
As authorized by the City Council on October 18, 2021, the City entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) with owner of the Project Site, Sandra A. Bock, for the purchase of the property conditioned upon a successful Project Homekey application.
The LOI allowed the City not only to demonstrate site control as required by the grant, but also to conduct due diligence on the property itself. During this negotiation period, the City conducted a Phase I Environmental Study, a Property Needs Assessment, and held consultations with other City Departments on the Project Site’s suitability for the intended use. Based upon the information gathered, staff had determined that the Project Site is appropriate for the proposed project.
8.A
Packet Pg. 247
The Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) (Attachment B) would set the purchase price for the Project Site at $5,000,000, which includes the physical property, furniture, furnishings, fixtures, linens, pillows, blankets, and associated equipment. The purchase price is consistent with the appraised value of the Project Site.
Should the Council approve the PSA, staff intends to close escrow on the purchase and sale as soon as Project Homekey funds are made available by the State for the purchase of the Project Site.
State Standard Agreements
To access funding, the City must enter into the State of California Standard Agreements (Attachment C). Once these are executed, the City may draw down on grant funding to complete the purchase and rehabilitation of the Project Site. The State’s grant guidelines require that capital funds be expended within eight months of the date of award and all applicable construction and or rehabilitation be complete within 12 months of the date of award. All operating funds must be expended no later than June 30, 2026; accordingly, since the State has provided for three (3) years of operational matching funds, the Project Site must be operational no later than July 1, 2023.
As a part of the Project Homekey program, the City is required to encumber the Project Site with a 15-year regulatory agreement which restricts the use of the Project Site for the use as interim housing. All Project Homekey program grantees are required to employ the core components of Housing First, as set forth at Welfare and Institutions Code section 8255, in its management and tenant selection practices.
As a part of the Project Homekey grant, participating jurisdictions are required to submit an annual Homekey Program and Expenditure Report to the Department for five years following the Standard Agreement execution. These reports are required to cover:
1. The amount of funds expended for the project.
2. The location of any properties for which the funds are used.
3. The number and size of habitable housing units.
4. The number and demographics of individuals housed, or likely to be housed, using the funds.
5. The racial and ethnic composition of the tenants assisted.
6. Detail of supportive services offered to the tenants.
7. Any lessons learned from the use of the funds.
Should the City Council approve the acceptance of the Project Homekey grant award, it is staff’s intent to present these annual reports and other notable outcomes to the City Council prior to the submission to the State.
8.A
Packet Pg. 248
Operation of the Project Site – L&M Village
Reach for Home and City staff have conducted outreach with neighbors, stakeholders, clients, and other affected parties to help inform the operational plan for the Project Site, to be known as L&M Village. The goal of the project team is to ensure that the operation of L&M Village does not have an impact on surrounding businesses or neighbors.
One of the key aspects to ensuring that L&M Village will operate effectively, is to ensure the site operator has the correct staffing levels and policies in place to ensure the program’s success.
Reach for Home and City staff have reviewed best practices from similar projects and have developed a draft L&M Village Program Manual (Attachment D).
It is important to note that the draft L&M Village Program Manual is a living document and may be refined based upon input from neighbors, clients, and staff to improve the site’s functionality.
A key goal of the program is to ensure that the L&M Village incorporates well into the community and a part of that is making sure that the City and its partners have the flexibility to make changes that best serve its clients and the community.
Construction and Improvements
As a part of the grant award and program requirements, certain improvements will need to be made to the Project Site in order for it to operate as interim housing. The City retained Burbank Housing to manage this process. Improvements such as fire alarms and sprinklers will need to be added along with ADA improvements to 6 units and common areas.
Should the Council approve the Homekey award, it is anticipated that construction will commence in late March and be completed in early August. It is critical that the City completes the construction of the necessary improvements prior to August 21st to receive a $220,000 occupancy bonus.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
The approval of this item does not have a direct correlation to environmental stewardship.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may choose:
1. To not adopt the Resolution, which will result in a forfeiture of the Project Homekey Program Grant and potentially impact the City’s ability to receive future grant funding through the Project Homekey program.
2. To request that staff modify the terms of the actions requested.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff has, to its best ability, modeled the sources of funding based upon appropriated funding made available by the County Board of Supervisors Project Homekey Supportive Services Funding Framework and Early Capital Match Program. The City’s ask of the County is for
8.A
Packet Pg. 249
$1,100,000 in one-time capital costs and $3,388,660 in operational costs for a seven-year period.
The funding requested from the County and Project Homekey provide sufficient capital to cover operational costs for the L&M village for a 5-year period. This is based upon the County’s operational subsidy covering $34 per door per day over a 3-year period during which Project Homekey operational subsidies are provided and $80 per door per day beginning in year 4, when the Project Homekey operating subsidy ends.
At the end of the 5-year period, the operational costs are estimated at $911,485 per year. Without additional subsidy this would be the City’s obligation to cover to continue operations past the fifth year. However, it is important to note, that the County’s operational subsidy amount can be adjusted or spread out over the 5-year period as long as the total does not exceed the amount appropriated by the Board of Supervisors.
During the first five years of operation, staff and Reach for Home intend to seek other grants and sources of funding to build an operational reserve for the project’s lifespan past year 5. Any County subsidy not used due to offset costs can be applied to future years.
Staff will return at a future meeting requesting a budget amendment to effectuate the property purchase agreement and initial capital costs. Operating costs will be built into future year budgets.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The proposed Project involves the acquisition and rehabilitation of an existing and operational motel, which shall then be used to provide interim housing on the Property and accordingly does not involve any change in land use or density, nor any expansion of use. Accordingly, the proposed Project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, which exempts the repair and minor alteration of existing public or private structures involving negligible or no expansion of use, as well as Section 15061(b)(3), commonly known as the common sense exemption, which acknowledges that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and in this instance there is no possibility that the Project may have a significant effect on the environment, given that there is no change in the land use, density, nor any expansion of use. Therefore, the proposed Project is not subject to CEQA.

In consideration of Seller entering into this Agreement and as an inducement to Seller to sell the Property to Buyer, Buyer makes the following representations and warranties, each of which is material and is being relied upon by Seller (the continued truth and accuracy of which constitutes a condition precedent to Seller’s obligations hereunder):
(a) Buyer’s Authority. Buyer has the legal right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and no other action by Buyer is requisite to the valid and binding execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

This Agreement and all documents required hereby to be executed by Buyer are and shall be valid, legally binding obligations of and enforceable against Buyer in accordance with their terms.
(c) Conflicting Documents.

(d) No Side Agreements or Representations. Buyer represents, warrants and covenants to Seller that Buyer has entered into this Agreement based upon its rights and intentions to independently inspect the Property.

Buyer will be relying solely upon its own independent inspection, investigation, and analysis of the Property as it deems necessary or appropriate in so acquiring the Property from Seller, including, without limitation, any and all matters concerning the condition, use, sale, development or suitability of the Property.

Packet Pg. 309 Attachment: Attachment D (3473 : Project Homekey) Program Overview
REACH FOR HOME offers temporary shelter to homeless adults who are among the most vulnerable members of our local homeless community. Residents are referred using Northern Sonoma County’s By Names list through the County of Sonoma’s Coordinated Entry System (CES), through REACH FOR HOME Outreach Case Management team, or by community partners including City of Cloverdale Police Department, Healdsburg Police Department, Windsor Police Department, Corazon, Alexander Valley Medical Center, Alliance Medical Center to name a few. Residents are provided a hot meal once a day and access to healthy take and make foods throughout the day. Case management, Client Enrichment Services, recovery supports, and Social Supports services are all offered, and residents have easy access to the REACH FOR HOME Community Health and Wellness Unit which is onsite once a week for health and wellness support. Residents are admitted into the program for a starting period of 30 days. If there are no outstanding and ongoing negative behaviors, resident’s stay will be extended in 30-day increments for a period not to exceed 180 days.
Outreach and Referral
REACH FOR HOME staff will utilize the Northern Sonoma County By Names list to offer shelter units to vulnerable local individuals who are experiencing homelessness. In addition, we will accept direct referrals from REACH FOR HOME’S Street Outreach Case Management team, and our other partners listed in the previous section. If a need arises for additional referrals, REACH FOR HOME will reach out to other homeless service and healthcare providers and will access Sonoma County’s Coordinated Entry By Names list. Any resident, if not already referred through CES, will be entered into the system and served through Coordinated Entry.
Application Process
Interested individuals or couples may complete the REACH FOR HOME Village application, which can be obtained through REACH FOR HOME’s Street Outreach Case Management team or at the REACH FOR HOME L & M VILLIAGE - 7 days a week 8:00 – 5:00 p.m.
Determining Eligibility
To ensure that REACH FOR HOME is serving those who are most in need, applicants for REACH FOR HOME Village are required to sign a certification of income at the time of intake. Qualified applicants must earn 50% or below Average Monthly Income (AMI) as defined by U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

To ensure that REACH FOR HOME is serving the most vulnerable individuals in the homeless population, the focus on REACH FOR HOME’S L & M Village will be chronically homeless individuals.
HUD Definition of Chronic Homelessness
1. An individual who:
Is homeless and lives in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven, or in an emergency shelter; and
Has been homeless and living or residing in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven, or in an emergency shelter continuously for at least 1 year or on at least four separate occasions in the last 3 years, where the cumulative total of the four occasions is at least one year. Stays in institutions of 90 days or less will not constitute as a break in homelessness, but rather such stays are included in the cumulative total. A break in homelessness spent living in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven, or in an emergency shelter is considered to be any period of 7 or more consecutive nights where an individual or family is not living or residing in such a place; and
Has one or more of the following conditions: Substance use disorder, serious mental illness, developmental disability (as defined in section 102 of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (42 U.S.C. 15002)), posttraumatic stress disorder, cognitive impairments resulting from brain injury, or chronic physical illness or disability;
2. An individual who has been residing in an institutional care facility, including a jail, substance abuse or mental health treatment facility, hospital, or other similar facility for fewer than 90 days and met all the criteria in paragraph (1), before entering that facility.
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
Residents of REACH FOR HOME L & M Village need to be able to complete ADLs without the assistance of a home health care provider. Because REACH FOR HOME L & M Village is considered a form of temporary shelter, In Home Health Support (IHSS) workers
8.A.e
Packet Pg. 311 Attachment: Attachment D (3473 : Project Homekey) will not be eligible to provide services or to move into units with residents. The exception would be if one member of a couple provides IHSS support for their partner.
Verification of Homeless Status
Evidence of homelessness, chronic homelessness (including disability), and region of homeless occasions will be obtained in the following order of priority:
1. Third Party Verification
a. This includes letters written and signed on letterhead from other homeless service providers such as shelters, homeless outreach workers, or other homeless service providers. In the absence of a homeless service provider, a signed letter on letterhead from another human service entity such as a food bank, social worker, outreach worker, health worker, law enforcement, hospital, medical clinic, or church is appropriate. b. Third party verification letters must be on letterhead and must contain the full name of the client. Letters must include dates verifying the timeframe of homelessness including both a start date and completion date. Letters should be signed by a staff member whose title appears on the letter. c. If third party verification if not available, intake worker observations are used. Lack of third-party documentation will not prevent an individual or couple from being admitted to the program.
2. Intake Worker Observations
REACH FOR HOME staff or other service provider may certify homeless status based on knowledge of individual’s current living situation. Intake worker should provide written statement detailing living situation.
Statement should be signed and dated, and whenever possible, should be backed up by HMIS printout.
3. Self-Certification
If neither third-party verification nor intake worker observations establish adequate evidence of homelessness, the person seeking assistance may self-certify that they are homeless. REACH FOR HOME staff will provide template for self-certification of homeless status.
Ineligibility
If an applicant does not qualify for REACH FOR HOME L & M Village, they will be offered other County resources. Staff will make every effort to divert ineligible applicants to family, friends, or other local agencies. (See below.)

Assessment worksheet helps to identify clients’ specific strengths and needs. Areas of assessment include physical health and medications, housing history, finances, mental health, substance use, legal issues, hobbies, interests, and social supports.
8.A.e
Packet Pg. 314 Attachment: Attachment D (3473 : Project Homekey) Based on this assessment, Case Managers work with client to create IAP goals, which can be updated monthly, or more often if needed. IAP outlines participants strengths along with individualized goals in the following areas:
Housing
Income
Mental Health
Physical Health
Legal Issues (if applicable)
Recovery/Personal Growth/Social Supports
Employment
Progress on goals is reviewed at each case management meeting. Utilizing the information gathered from the assessment and IAP, Case Manager will determine if other services might benefit client and will refer to other service providers such as therapists, health care professionals or mainstream resources.
Length of Stay
Residents enter REACH FOR HOME L & M Village for a period of 30 days. If there are no behaviors that interfere with Resident Behavior Agreement, residents are extended for an additional 30 days. Client behaviors continue to be assessed every 30 days for a maximum of 180 days. Clients who have not achieved housing within 180 days will be exited from program. These clients will be encouraged to re-enroll into Sonoma County Coordinated Entry System (CES) so that they can be considered for additional housing opportunities. Trained REACH FOR HOME staff can complete CES enrollment with clients.
Residents sign a Resident Behavior Agreement upon entry to REACH FOR HOME L & M Village. (See appendix.)

Two staff members (or a staff member and a member of the Resident Council) will be present for removal of items from unit and an inventory sheet will be created.
Exit Policy
REACH FOR HOME is dedicated to lowering barriers to maintaining shelter whenever possible. However, if a resident’s behavior is illegal, violent, abusive, unsafe for others, or is negatively affecting other program participants’ ability to remain sheltered, resident may be dismissed from the program. In making this determination, staff will examine all extenuating circumstances and will only terminate participation in the most severe cases. In these cases, a client will be given an exit letter, and supportive services will be focused on assisting the client with locating other shelter.

The Resident Council is an advisory group that includes 3 individuals who are current residents of REACH FOR HOME L & M Village. These individuals must be in good standing (no major violations of Resident Agreement) and must have lived in REACH FOR HOME L & M Village for a minimum of 30 days.

All persons having access to HMIS information have agreed to keep the information strictly confidential. (See HMIS Privacy Policy in Appendix.) Privacy Policy
REACH FOR HOME'S staff works very hard to maintain the privacy of the clients in our programs.

In all other instances, a written consent must be signed by the client prior to sharing of personal information.

CITY OF HEALDSBURG
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 18, 2022
SUBJECT: Chamber of Commerce Professional Services Agreement PREPARED BY: Stephen Sotomayor, Housing Administrator
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):
Provide Effective Governance
Provide Resident-Driven Community Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Adopt a Resolution approving a Professional Services Agreement with the Healdsburg Chamber of Commerce and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:
This report is brought forward to the City Council in order to provide transparency to the community regarding the previous services completed by the Healdsburg Chamber of Commerce and for public comment on the approval of a new Professional Services Agreement (“PSA”) and revised scope of work.
BACKGROUND:
For several years the City, through its Redevelopment Agency, contracted with the Chamber to provide economic development services. With the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency, the Council, on August 19, 2013, approved the initial use of Measure V funds for economic development purposes. Beginning in 2014, the Council has funded the economic development services provided by the Chamber annually with Measure V funding.
On March 18, 2019, the City Council adopted a resolution approving an amendment to the fiscal year 2019-20 budget to use $100,000 of Measure V funding for a PSA with the Chamber for a period of 6-months.
On November 18, 2019, The City Council approved a six-month extension to the Chamber of Commerce PSA and authorized the City Manager to execute a $50,000 Public Relations Campaign agreement with the Chamber of Commerce in response to the Kincade fires, and increased appropriations in FY 2019-2020 in the Measure V fund to contract for such services.
9.A
Packet Pg. 331
On October 21, 2020, the City Council approved a new PSA with the Chamber of Commerce for $100,000. This PSA expired on June 30, 2021. However, as a part of the City’s FY 2021-2022 budget, $100,000 in Measure T (Measure V became Measure T as of November 2020) funding was appropriated specifically for the Chamber of Commerce Agreement.
Staff has been working with the Chamber to refine the previous scope of work approved as part of the PSA that expired on June 30th of this year to better reflect the current needs of the City. A new PSA is needed for the Chamber to access appropriated funding.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The Chamber has performed the services in accordance with the scope of work outlined in the September 2021 PSA and City Council approval is required to enter a new PSA which is proposed to run through June 30, 2022.
As a part of the new Scope of Services, the Chamber and City staff have identified several deliverables. Some of these include:
Business Outreach:
• Bi-annual report to the Healdsburg City Council on events held, attendance, and outcomes, including recommendations for future events.
• Submittal of the master event calendar to the City.
• Develop and host a CEO roundtable event.
Business Attraction, Retention, and Expansion:
• Quarterly written reports provided to the City Council on the number of businesses assisted and what type of assistance was provided by the Chamber of Commerce. • Business workshops and topics added to the master event calendar. • Maintain a vacant commercial property listing made available to the City.
Workforce Development:
• Quarterly report to the City Council on the implementation of workforce development programs.
• Maintain a resources page on the Chamber of Commerce website.
Research, Surveys and Feasibility:
• Complete a survey of businesses and the community regarding the need for additional bike parking, proposed locations, and cost estimates.
• Complete an outreach survey to the business community and compile feedback for City review on food truck policies with recommendations.
Visitor Services:
• Provide updates on visitor services activities in a bi-annual report to the City Council.
Downtown Engagement:
• Maintain an audit of wayfinding signs on an annual basis to ensure they are accurate and coordinate with City staff to have outdated signs replaced or updated.
9.A
Packet Pg. 332
Crisis Management:
• Develop an emergency response plan for the Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the City to provide informational services and resources in the event of a crisis.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the agreement and authorizing the City Manager to execute a $100,000 Professional Services Agreement with the Healdsburg Chamber of Commerce. Given that the agreement is associated with the 2021-22 fiscal year, staff is also requesting that an advance payment of two quarters be authorized as the initial payment to the Chamber of Commerce, followed by two quarterly billings of $25,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
This item does not have a direct correlation to environmental stewardship.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Council may choose to:
1. Not approve a PSA with the Chamber of Commerce and provide staff with additional direction.
2. Direct staff to revise the proposed scope of work or other terms of the agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City Council previously appropriated $100,000 of Transaction and Use Tax Fund (Measure T) for the “Chamber of Commerce Agreement” in the FY 2021-22 adopted budget. No additional funding is required.
9.A
Packet Pg. 333
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to Title 14, the California Code of Regulations, Section 15302(c) of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) guidelines, approval of this resolution is an administrative activity of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.
