BACKGROUND:
The California Government Code Section 53646(a)(2) requires the City Treasurer to submit a “Statement of Investment Policy” to the legislative body each fiscal year. This policy has been designed and developed according to the specific needs of the City of Healdsburg and complies with the California Government Code, guidelines recommended by the California Municipal Treasurer’s Association, and guidelines recommended by the Association of Public Treasurers of the United States and Canada.
The City’s Municipal Code designates the City’s Finance Director as the City Treasurer. Under the City’s current organizational structure, the City’s Administrative Services Director assumes the duties and responsibility of Finance Director. The core statutory duty of the Treasurer as set forth in California Code Section 41001 is “The City Treasurer shall receive and safely keep all money the treasurer receives”. Considering the statutory responsibilities, the California Municipal Treasurer’s Association has established the following guidelines to prudent investment strategy for local treasurers to follow:
• Legal Investment Authority: Temporary idle monies are to be invested in accordance with state and local statutes and in compliance with California Government Code Section 53600 et seq.

• Safety: It is the primary duty and responsibility of the Treasurer to protect, preserve, and maintain intact cash and investments placed in trust with the Treasurer on behalf of the citizens of the City of Healdsburg.
• Liquidity: An adequate percentage of the portfolio should be maintained in liquid shortterm securities, which can be converted to cash if necessary, to meet disbursement requirements.
• Yield: The Treasurer shall obtain the highest possible yield within the parameters of the City’s authorized investments, provided the criteria for safety and liquidity have been met.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
For the City Council’s consideration, the attached proposed investment policy for fiscal year 2022-23 is presented in accordance with California Government Code Section 53600 et seq, which governs investment practices of local government agencies.
Section III of the City’s policy clearly specifies the three primary objectives of the City’s investment activities in order of priority are safety, liquidity, and yield.
The following item was removed from the investment policy to align with the less restrictive state code:
A. Securities Not Sold Prior to Maturity
Securities shall not be sold prior to maturity with the following exceptions:
• A security with declining credit sold early to minimize loss of principal • A security swap that would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio
• Unforeseen liquidity needs of the portfolio that require the security be sold ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
Not Applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
The California Government Code Section 53646(a)(2) requires the City Treasurer to submit a “Statement of Investment Policy” to the legislative body each fiscal year. If Council chooses to not adopt the resolution, additional direction from Council will be required.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact resulting from the proposed action.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to Title 14, the California Code of Regulations, Section 15378(b)(4)(5) 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.

I. MISSION STATEMENT
It is the policy of the City of Healdsburg (“City”) to invest public funds in a manner that will provide maximum security, adequate liquidity and sufficient yield, while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City and conforming to all statutes and regulations governing the investment of public funds.
II. SCOPE
This investment policy applies to all the financial assets of City of Healdsburg. These funds are accounted for in the City’s audited Annual Financial Report. If the City invests funds on behalf of another agency and, if that agency does not have its own policy, the City's investment policy shall govern the agency's investments.
A. Pooling of Funds
Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City shall consolidate cash balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings. Investment income shall be allocated to various funds in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
B. Funds Included in this Policy
General Fund
Special Revenue Funds
Capital Project Funds
Enterprise Funds
Fiduciary Funds
Utility Funds
Any new fund created by City Council unless specifically exempted C. Funds Excluded from this Policy
This investment policy does not apply to bond proceeds, deferred compensation funds, retirement or other post-employment benefits trust funds as these are governed under separate California Government Code sections or other documentation.
III.GENERAL OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City’s investment activities are safety, liquidity and yield.
A. Safety
Preservation of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective shall be to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk. To attain this objective, the City shall diversify its investments by investing funds among several financial institutions and a variety of securities offering independent returns.
1. Credit Risk
The City shall minimize credit risk, the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer or backer, by:
▪ Limiting investments to the safest types of securities ▪ Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers, intermediaries, and advisers with which the City will do business
▪ Diversifying the investment portfolio so as to minimize the impact any one industry/investment class can have on the portfolio
6.A.b
Packet Pg. 17
Attachment: Healdsburg Investment Policy 2022-23 (3636 : Investment Policy) City of Healdsburg Investment Policy 4 Year 2022/23
2. Interest Rate Risk
To minimize the negative impact of material changes in the market value of securities in the portfolio, the City shall:
▪ Structure the investment portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity
▪ Invest operating funds primarily in shorter-term securities, money market mutual funds, and the State of California’s Local Agency Investment Fund (“LAIF”)
B. Liquidity
The City’s investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating requirements that might be reasonably anticipated without requiring a sale of securities. Since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio shall consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets. A portion of the portfolio also may be placed in money market mutual funds or LAIF which offer same-day liquidity for short-term funds.
C. Yield (Return on Investment)
The City’s investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a benchmark rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the City’s investment risk constraints and the liquidity characteristics of the portfolio. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The core of investments is limited to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed.
IV.STANDARDS OF CARE
A. Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used by City investment officials shall be the “prudent investor standard” in that a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims. This standard shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. City investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
B. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest

The committee may make recommendations regarding portfolio diversification, economic outlook and overall risk management.
E. Internal Controls
The City Administrative Services Director is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of written internal controls. The internal controls shall be designed to prevent losses of public funds arising from fraud, employee error, misrepresentation by third parties, unanticipated changes in financial markets, or imprudent action by City employees and officers. The internal structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.

Percentage limitations of surplus funds invested are noted for the various investment instruments. Where there is a specified percentage limitation for a particular category of investments, that percentage is applicable only at the date of purchase. A later increase or decrease in a percentage resulting from a change in values or assets shall not constitute a violation of that restriction.

APPENDIX
GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS
ASKED: The price at which securities are offered for sale; also known as offering price.
BENCHMARK: A comparative base for measuring the performance or risk tolerance of the investment portfolio. A benchmark should represent a close correlation to the level of risk and the average duration of the portfolio’s investments.
BID: The price offered by a buyer of securities. (When you are selling securities, you ask for a bid.)
BOND PROCEEDS: The money paid to the issuer by the purchaser or underwriter of a new issue of municipal securities. These moneys are used to finance the project or purpose for which the securities were issued and to pay certain costs of issuance as may be provided in the bond contract.
BOOK VALUE: The value at which a debt security is shown on the holder's balance sheet.
Book value is often acquisition cost plus/minus amortization and accretion, which may differ significantly from the security’s current value in the market.
BROKER: Someone who brings buyers and sellers together and is compensated for his/her service.
CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT (CD): A time deposit with a specific maturity evidenced by a certificate. Large denomination CDs are typically negotiable.
COLLATERAL: Securities, evidence of deposit or other property which a borrower pledges to secure repayment of a loan. Also refers to securities pledged by a bank to secure deposits of public monies.
CREDIT QUALITY: The measurement of the financial strength of a bond issuer. This measurement helps an investor to understand an issuer's ability to make timely interest payments and repay the loan principal upon maturity. Generally, the higher the credit quality of a bond issuer, the lower the interest rate paid by the issuer because the risk of default is lower. Credit quality ratings are provided by a Nationally Recognized Statistical-Rating Organization.

DEALER: A dealer, as opposed to a broker, acts as a principal in all transactions, by buying and selling for his/her own account.
DELIVERY VERSUS PAYMENT: There are two methods of delivery of securities: delivery versus payment and delivery versus receipt. Delivery versus payment is delivery of securities with an exchange of money for the securities. Delivery versus receipt is delivery of securities with an exchange of a signed receipt for the securities.
DERIVATIVES: (1) financial instruments whose return profile is linked to, or derived from, the movement of one or more underlying index or security, and may include a leveraging factor, or (2) financial contracts based upon notional amounts whose value is derived from an underlying index or security (interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equities or commodities).

FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE (FOMC): Consists of seven members of the Federal Reserve Board and five of the twelve Federal Reserve Bank Presidents. The President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank is a permanent member, while the other Presidents serve on a rotating basis. The Committee periodically meets to set Federal Reserve guidelines regarding purchases and sales of Government Securities in the open market as a means of influencing the volume of bank credit and money.
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM: The central bank of the United States created by Congress and consisting of a seven member Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., twelve Regional Banks and about 5,700 commercial banks that are members of the system.
FINANCIAL INDUSTRY REGULATORY AUTHORITY (FINRA): A self-regulatory organization (SRO) of brokers and dealers in the over-the-counter securities business. Its regulatory mandate includes authority over firms that distribute mutual fund shares as well as other securities.
GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (GASB): A standard-setting body, associated with the Financial Accounting Foundation, which prescribes standard accounting practices for governmental units.
GOVERNMENT NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION (GNMA or Ginnie Mae):
Securities influencing the volume of bank credit guaranteed by GNMA and issued by mortgage bankers, commercial banks, savings and loan associations, and other institutions.

INTERNAL CONTROLS: An internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft, or misuse. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that 1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and 2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. Internal controls should address the following points:
▪ Control of collusion - Collusion is a situation where two or more employees are working in conjunction to defraud their employer.
▪ Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping - By separating the person who authorizes or performs the transaction from the people who record or otherwise account for the transaction, a separation of duties is achieved. ▪ Custodial safekeeping - Securities purchased from any bank or dealer including appropriate collateral (as defined by state law) shall be placed with an independent third party for custodial safekeeping.
▪ Avoidance of physical delivery securities - Book-entry securities are much easier to transfer and account for since actual delivery of a document never takes place. Delivered securities must be properly safeguarded against loss or destruction. The potential for fraud and loss increases with physically delivered securities. ▪ Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members - Subordinate staff members must have a clear understanding of their authority and responsibilities to avoid improper actions. Clear delegation of authority also preserves the internal control structure that is contingent on the various staff positions and their respective responsibilities.
▪ Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers - Due to the potential for error and improprieties arising from telephone and electronic transactions, all transactions should be supported by written communications and approved by the appropriate person. Written communications may be via fax if on letterhead and if the safekeeping institution has a list of authorized signatures. ▪ Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third-party custodian - The designated official should ensure that an agreement will be entered into and will address the following points: controls, security provisions, and responsibilities of each party making and receiving wire transfers.
LIQUIDITY: A liquid asset is one that can be converted easily and rapidly into cash without a substantial loss of value. In the money market, a security is said to be liquid if the spread between bid and asked prices is narrow and reasonable size can be done at those quotes.
LOCAL AGENCY INVESTMENT FUND (LAIF): Chapter 730, Statutes of 1976 of the State of California, established the Local Agency Investment Fund. This fund enables local governmental agencies to remit money not required for immediate needs to the State Finance Director for the purpose of investment. In order to derive the maximum rate of return possible, the State Finance Director has elected to invest these monies with State monies as a part of the Pooled Money Investment Account. Each local governmental unit has the exclusive determination of the length of time its money will be on deposit with the State Finance Director.
At the end of each calendar quarter, all earnings derived from investments are distributed by the State Controller to the participating government agencies in proportion to each agency's respective amounts deposited in the Fund and the length of time such amounts remained therein.
Prior to the distribution, the State's costs of administering the program are deducted from the earnings.
MARK-TO-MARKET: The process whereby the book value or collateral value of a security is adjusted to reflect its current market value.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (RP OR REPO): A holder of securities sells these securities to an investor with an agreement to repurchase them at a fixed price on a fixed date. The security "buyer" in effect lends the "seller" money for the period of the agreement, and the terms of the agreement are structured to compensate the buyer for this. Dealers use RP extensively to finance their positions. Exception: When the Fed is said to be doing RP, it is lending money that is increasing bank reserves.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT: An agreement of one party (for example, a financial institution) to purchase securities at a specified price from a second party (such as a public agency) and a simultaneous agreement by the first party to resell the securities at a specified price to the second party on demand or at a specific date.

CITY OF HEALDSBURG
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 21, 2022
SUBJECT: Approval of Change Order Number 1 for the Water Reclamation Facility Equalization Pond Solids Removal and Disposal Project (Project PWS942)
PREPARED BY: Patrick Fuss, Water/Wastewater Engineer
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):
Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
Maintain and Enhance Public Health and Safety
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Adopt a Resolution increasing the Solids Removal project budget by $156,600 for a total project budget of $382,862, transferring $78,300 from the Wastewater Development Impact Fee Fund to the Sewer Operations Fund to cover fair share maintenance and restored capacity costs and authorizing the City Manager to approve change orders up to the project's approved amount.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:
Not applicable.
BACKGROUND:
The Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) receives and treats all of the City’s sanitary wastewater conveyed through the City’s sewage collection system. During heavy rains and periods of high inflow and infiltration, the sewage collection system can deliver more flow to the WRF than the WRF can treat. The portion of peak flow in excess of treatment capacity is routed to an equalization pond where the flow can be stored, and then later brought into the treatment plant for processing. Additionally, the equalization pond is used to return flows within the treatment process that have not been sufficiently treated for any reason. These returned treatment streams can send flow to the equalization pond from any point in the treatment process to be re-treated.
Wastewater and process streams are ladened with solids. When the flows are stored in the equalization pond, the solids tend to settle out. Over the years, approximately 2 feet of solids have accumulated in the equalization pond. Portions of the accumulated solids tend to flow back to the treatment process with liquid being removed from the equalization pond.
6.B
Packet Pg. 34
The accumulated solids are largely inert and interfere with the biomass that actively treats the wastewater at the WRF. The solids should be removed to restore full function of the equalization pond.
Staff prepared a project for bidding to remove and dispose of the solids accumulated in the equalization pond. The project, which anticipated approximately 65 dry-tons of material to be removed, was awarded by City council on January 18, 2022, to Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc. for $205,692.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
In the process of removal of the material from the equalization pond, the contractor found substantially more material present than indicated in the bid documents. The bid documents indicated the quantity of solids to be removed to be 65 dry-tons. The actual solids removed has been 65 dry-tons based on estimated volume of material removed and percent solids concentration sampling of the removed material plus another 55 dry tons still remaining in the pond. The revised estimate of total solids to be removed is roughly 120 dry-tons, approximately 55 dry-tons over the bid’s estimated quantities.
When awarding the project, the City Council authorized a contingency of $20,570 which is equivalent to approximately seven dry-tons at the as-bid unit price of $2,848 per dry ton. The anticipated cost to remove, dewater and dispose of the additional 55 dry-tons is $156,600. This amount exceeds the present authorized project budget and contingency. Authorization from City Council is required to increase appropriations and fund completion of this work.
Staff recommends that City Council authorize an additional $156,600 to complete the removal of solids from the equalization pond. This authorization would provide sufficient budget to complete the project and retain the contingency to address unforeseen conditions. The actual cost will be based on the measured weight of material removed and measured percent solids of the material removed.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
The Water Reclamation Facility is essential in treating wastewater generated by the City. The equalization pond is a key component in the Water Reclamation Facility, allowing for storage of excess flow and process upset streams within the Water Reclamation Facility. Restoration of the equalization pond to full capacity will aid the Water Reclamation Facility to operated effectively and efficiently to safeguard the environment.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Contractor has offered to decrease the unit price of solids removed by $547 per dry ton if the City were to handle and dispose of the material removed from the pond separately from the contract. This approach would reduce the unit price of solids removed from $2,848 to $2,301, but still requires an additional contract and budget of $91,000 to transport the material. Staff does not recommend this approach because additional costs will still need to be incurred to handle and dispose of the material from the Water Reclamation Facility site. Further, having the material on site in a containment area is susceptible to overflow if rain should occur before the material gets removed.
6.B
Packet Pg. 35
City Council could increase the budget by the amount recommended by staff less the previously authorized contingency. This would reduce the budget augmentation from $156,600 to $136,030.
Staff does not recommend this alternative in that the removal of solids will be based on actual weight of material removed versus the volume-based estimates. As the project is not complete, a contingency is recommended to remain should actual weights exceed estimates.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The budget authorized by City Council on January 18, 2022, for the Equalization Solids Removal and Disposal Project is $205,692.00, plus a contingency of $20,570.00 for a total budget of $226,262. Staff recommends increasing the budget by $156,600 for a revised project budget of $382,862, including the initial contingency of $20,570.
To fund the increase in costs, staff propose a combination of funds from both the wastewater operations fund balance and wastewater impact fees. The proposed Resolution includes a budget amendment that would increase the project budget by $156,600 and transfers $78,300 from the Sewer Impact Fee Fund to the Sewer Operations Fund to cover the fair share of new developments costs to maintain and restore capacity.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The work to be conducted under this project is maintenance of a publicly-owned wastewater treatment facility and falls under a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Section 15301 ATTACHMENT(S):

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 21, 2022
SUBJECT: Extension of a Professional Services Agreement with MMO Partners of Washington DC for Federal Advocacy Services, with Costs Shared by Healdsburg and Five Other Cities
PREPARED BY: Andrew Sturmfels, Administrative Services Director STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):
Provide Effective Governance
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to approve a 12-month extension to a Professional Services Agreement for federal advocacy services with MMO Partners, increasing the not-to-exceed amount by $85,490 of $283,480, offset by an additional $78,432 in reimbursement revenue from five (5) other participating Sonoma County cities.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:
Not Applicable.
BACKGROUND:
In May of 2020, the City of Healdsburg, along with the cities of Petaluma, Cotati, Rohnert Park, Sebastopol, Sonoma and Cloverdale (Partnering Cities), retained Murray, Montgomery, and O’Donnell (MMO Partners) to ensure that: cities in Sonoma County with a population below 100,000 were provided direct, flexible federal funding to offset COVID related revenue losses, monitor federal agency program guidance, provide timely Covid grant related funding announcements and analyze House and Senate COVID related legislation to determine potential impact to partnering cities.
MMO supported the City of Healdsburg and other participating cities in advocating for the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), which was signed into law on March 11, 2021, as well as it’s ensuing regulatory implementation process. Additionally, MMO has supported partnering Cities in advocating for their priorities in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which was signed into law on November 15, 2021. MMO has also provided technical assistance to partnering cities on the Federal Appropriations Process and helped support the City of Healdsburg’s recent projects included in the Water Resources Development Act.
6.C
Packet Pg. 40
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Given the success of the partnership with MMO in advocating partnering cities needs at the federal level, all 6 participating cities have expressed interest in continuing the partnership with MMO for another year. MMO has proposed to continue providing federal advocacy services for partnering cities, including:
• Serving as an intergovernmental liaison with federal agencies, Congress, and partnering cities.
• Supporting partnering cities in identifying policy and project priorities, including support in preparing future year federal appropriation requests • Monitoring ARPA and IIJA implementation guidance and funding opportunities • Monitoring and providing federal grant opportunities
• Tracking federal legislation and providing technical assistance • Monitoring and identifying opportunities in the FY 23 and 24 federal budgets. • Support connectivity between partnering cities, federal agency officials, and Capitol Hill staff
MMO has proposed to keep the cost of these services flat, with a total rate of $7,124 per month, or $85,490 for the full year. The City of Healdsburg acts as the contract administrator for the partnering cities and receives reimbursement from the partnering cities to offset their proportional cost share. The cost is split based on population and remains the same as the prior year.
City Population Cost/City
Healdsburg 11,610 $ 7,057.28
Petaluma 59,760 $ 36,325.82
Cloverdale 8,760 $ 5,324.87
Sonoma 10,950 $ 6,656.09
Sebastopol 7,630 $ 4,637.99
Rohnert Park 41,930 $ 25,487.64
TOTAL 140,640 $ 85,489.68
Partnering cities have expressed that MMO Partners continues to have the experience, skills, and knowledge of our local area (as well as detailed knowledge of the congressional appropriations and FEMA reimbursement process) necessary to accomplish this task. The $7,124/month rate is reasonable for the work being performed, and with all six (6) cities sharing in the cost allocated by population, the net cost to the City is expected to be $7,057 for the twelve-month Agreement, which would expire at the end of June 2023.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Council may choose not to approve the resolution and direct staff to find an alternate means to support federal advocacy efforts.
6.C
Packet Pg. 41
FISCAL IMPACT:
Appropriations for this Personal Services Agreement are included in the adopted fiscal year 2022-23 budget. Reimbursements of $78,432 are expected for the $85,490 total additional contract cost amount, leaving a net City expense of $7,057.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is not a “project” pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines 15378(b)(5) because the Agreement for advocacy services is an organizational and administrative activity; therefore, no environmental review is required.

MEETING DATE: June 21, 2022
SUBJECT: Accept as complete the Badger Substation 12kV and 60kV Bus Reconstruction Project (EL1008)
PREPARED BY: Terry Crowley, Utilities Director
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):
Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Adopt a Resolution accepting as complete the Badger Substation 12kV and 60kV Bus Reconstruction Project (EL1008) and authorizing staff to file a Notice of Completion.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:
No public engagement was sought for this item.
BACKGROUND:
In 2021 the City Council awarded a construction contract to Preferred Power Solutions Inc. to complete the Badger Substation 12,000 (12kV) and 60,000 (60kV) Bus Reconductor Project.
This project removed obsolete and failing equipment from the Badger substation by reconstructing the 12kV bus and completing a looped feed for the 60kV bus. Additionally, the work included seismic strengthening by installing of micro-piles to support both the 12kV bus and new portions of the 60kV bus. Other miscellaneous work was completed as well.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
To complete the necessary work, bids were solicitated and a contract was awarded to Preferred Power Solutions Inc. (PPS) for the original amount of $3,093,100. Included in the Council’s authorization was a 15% contingency to account for uncertainties in the installation of the micropiles as well as changes typical of large capital improvement projects. Change orders were necessary and issued as summarized below.
Change Order Summary Change Order Price
Micro-piles, changed condition $ 204,436.45
12kV Feeder Trench $ 55,842.00
6.D
Packet Pg. 45
Control House Electric Modifications $ 49,565.00
SCADA Improvements $ 52,019.00
Misc. Material, Fiber, & Steel Work $ 78,805.34
Change Order Total $ 440,667.97
The largest change order was associated with the installation of the micro-piles. Per the construction drawings micro-piles were to be installed with each of the 32 new foundations.
Each foundation received four micro-piles, 128 in total, at depths ranging between 50.5 and 55.5- feet below grade. During the installation the contractor encounter large cobles not clearly presented on the Geotechnical Report available at the time of bid. This resulted in a changed condition and a negotiated cost for incremental cost increases. Other change orders were necessary due to supply change issues and needed improvements to the station’s remote indication and control systems.
The work has been completed in accordance with the contract documents and approved change orders to the satisfaction of the City’s representative.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
This project improves the reliablity of the City source of electrical power. Providing reliably power supports residents and businesses switching from fossil fuels to cleaner low-carbon electric sources.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council could choose not to accept the Project as complete and provide further direction to staff.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact related to the proposed action.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
Council’s accepting of the Project as complete and directing staff to record the Notice of Completion with Sonoma County is not a “project” pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines 15378(b)(2) because administrative activities do not constitute a “project”; therefore, no environmental review is required.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 21, 2022
SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with SOS Community Counseling for Juvenile Diversion Services
PREPARED BY: Matt Jenkins, Police Chief
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):
Provide Effective Governance
Maintain and Enhance Public Health and Safety
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Adopt a Resolution approving an amendment to a Professional Services Agreement with SOS Community Counseling to provide for youth diversion services through its Healdsburg Family Youth Services program for an amount not to exceed $33,542 and authorizing the City Manager to execute the amendment and increasing the not-to-exceed amount by $33,542 to $83,531.
BACKGROUND:
The Healdsburg Police Department provides a juvenile diversion program as an alternative to the juvenile justice system for youth offenders, which is considered a best practice as it keeps juveniles out of the juvenile justice system. The program was initially run by the police department by a full-time staff member and was later provided through contracts with local nonprofit organizations. The Police Department has been contracting with SOS Community Counseling to offer these services through its Healdsburg Youth and Family Services (HYFS) program since 2017.
In December of 2020 the City executed a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for the abovementioned services with SOS Community Counseling for an initial contract amount of $25,019.28 and an initial agreement term set to expire June 30, 2021. In June of 2021 an amendment was executed extending the agreement term for another year to June 30, 2022, increasing the contract not-to-exceed amount by 24,979.26 to $49,998.54.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The HYFS program aims at brining youth closer to their decisions and empowering them to make better decisions. The youth offenders are offered therapy wherein the youth acknowledge their behavior, and the program addresses the youth in a manner that is conducive to diverting
6.E
Packet Pg. 51
their behavior(s) but also hold them accountable for their actions. The youth is assigned to a counselor for a 10-week program where they partake in one-on-one sessions, complete community service, and provide an act of restitution.
Officers can refer youth offenders into the program for violations such as possession of marijuana on school grounds, being under the influence of a controlled substance, consuming alcohol on or off school grounds, possessing a knife on school grounds, vandalism, and assault and battery. As part of the program, administrators from the Healdsburg Unified School district may make direct referrals to the program. This reduces the amount of police department staff time in responding to lower-level juvenile complaints.
During the previous terms of the contract, HYFS provided the following services:
FY 2018/2019 FY 2019/2020 FY 2020/2021 FY 21/22
projected
Youth Diverted 35 46 30 60
Completed Program 34 44 30 59
Staff has met with SOS Community Counseling to renew the agreement for the upcoming fiscal year. Due to increased personnel costs, the amount of the annual contract has increased by approximately $8,500, bringing the annual total to $33,542. Staff is bringing this year’s Amendment to City Council for approval as the proposed increase to the not-to-exceed amount surpasses staff’s authorized limits.
The proposed Amendment would extend the agreement term for another year to June 30, 2022 and increase the PSA not-to-exceed amount by $33,542 to $83,540.54.
Staff is recommending that Council approve the amendment to the existing PSA with SOS Community Counseling, and authorize the City Manager to execute the Amendment on behalf of the City,
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may choose not to approve the amendment which would remove the option for officers to use diversion services for juveniles and instead result in juvenile offenders being cited into the juvenile justice system.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost of the amendment for FY 22/23 is $33,542, which is accounted for in the adopted FY 22/23 budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to Title 14, the California Code of Regulations, Section 15378(b)(4)(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; and therefore, is not a project for purposes of CEQA.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 21, 2022
SUBJECT: Administration of Energy Programs Evaluation, Commercial Energy Efficiency Programs, and Low-Income Application Portal
PREPARED BY: Terra Sampson, Utility Conservation Analyst STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):
Pursue Initiatives that Promote Environmental Stewardship RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Adopt a Resolution approving an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Efficiency Services Group, LLC to provide energy efficiency administrative services and manage a low-income online application portal and extend the agreement's term to June 30, 2024, increase the not to exceed amount to $141,000, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement on the City’s behalf.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:
Not applicable.
BACKGROUND:
In 1996, California Assembly Bill 1890 established the Public Benefits Fund to support energy efficiency programs, increase renewable energy generation, and low-income discounts. In accordance with State Law, the City assess a 2.85% surcharge on each electric utility bill and uses these funds to support residential and commercial electric rebate programs and the City’s electric low-income discount program.
The City’s Electric Utility has developed long-term goals to provide cost effective energy efficiency and conservation programs to its customers. In 2021, Healdsburg Electric used public benefits funds and funds received through the State’s Cap & Trade program to incentivize projects that saved 65 MWh. Commercial customers accounted for 47 MWh of saving, while residential programs saved 18 MWh. The low-income direct install program accounted for 10 MWh of the residential savings. The department’s goal in calendar years 2022 and 2023 is 360 MWh incremental savings each year.
6.F
Packet Pg. 62
Healdsburg Electric currently works with Efficiency Services Group (ESG) to administer the City’s commercial energy efficiency programs, low-income direct install programs, and a lowincome online application portal. The current professional services agreement was authorized on June 1, 2020 by Resolution No. 61-2020, and ends on June 30, 2022. ESG is familiar with the City and its customer base as well as regional energy efficiency programs.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The Electric Utility’s energy efficiency programs are designed to reduce energy use by incentivizing more efficient equipment (lighting, appliances, and equipment), and to provide products that reduce heat gain and loss (insulation and shading). The most popular programs and rebates are commercial lighting retrofits, residential ENERGY STAR appliances, and residential weatherization measures (insulation and windows).
In order to meet the City’s annual energy efficiency goals and support low-income customers, staff recommends approval of an amendment to extend a professional services agreement with Efficiency Services Group (ESG) and update the scope to include these three key services:
• Energy Programs Evaluation
• Commercial Energy Efficiency Administration, Field Services, and Technical Support • Low-Income Online Application Portal
Energy Programs Evaluation
The City currently offers multiple energy efficiency and electrification programs and rebates. To ensure the programs remain impactful and effective, ESG will conduct an evaluation of the current programs, as well as potential program offerings, to establish program specifications and requirements. Newly identified programs will be shared with Council in late 2022. The cost to support this one-time program evaluation and development is $6,000. The energy programs evaluation will help the City meet energy efficiency and carbon emissions reduction goals, and provide continued valuable service to our customers.
Commercial Energy Efficiency Administration, Field Services, and Technical Support Since 2016, ESG has provided energy efficiency administration, field services, and technical support for our commercial projects. Tasks included project verification, savings calculations, and rebate coordination. This technical support also enhances Healdsburg Electric’s customer service. ESG’s energy efficiency program support costs range based on the number of commercial projects. The cost to complete this work is $26,000 per year.
Low-Income Online Application Portal
To support the low-income residents of Healdsburg, the Electric Public Benefits Fund funds a 25% electric utility low-income discount, known as the CARE program. The discount is administered by the City’s Utility Department and participants must qualify for the program by providing verification that their annual income for all persons in their household does not exceed the maximum income guidelines.
To expediate low-income application processing, staff is recommending to continue utilizing ESG’s online application portal. The portal has a simple user-friendly interface in both English
6.F
Packet Pg. 63
and Spanish. Once the application is submitted, ESG collects and sends submitted applications to City staff in a timely fashion. While the actual costs for the service depends upon the number of applications submitted, staff estimates the implementation and application processing costs at approximately $6,000 per year.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
In 2021, Healdsburg Electric’s carbon content was 0.18 metric tons of CO2 per megawatt hour.
If the City meets its energy efficiency goal of 360 MWh, this will reduce approximately 64 metric tons of CO2 per year over the life of the energy efficiency measures.
ALTERNATIVES:
As an alternative the City Council could choose not to adopt the recommended resolution and provide further direction to staff.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff is recommending the City Council approve an amendment to extend the professional services agreement adding an additional $70,000 and extending the agreement’s term to June 30, 2024. Services provided under the contract will be funded by the Electric Public Benefit Fund and proceeds from the sale of freely allocated Cap & Trade allowances. There is sufficient authority in the upcoming fiscal year 2022-23 and 2023-24 budget to cover the proposed agreement. Included in the additional funding is: $6,000 in one-time costs for the energy programs evaluation, $52,000 for administrative, field services and technical support over two years, and $12,000 over two years to provide an online portal to receive low-income discount applications over the two-year period.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This project would not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect change in the physical environment and is therefore not a “project” for the purposes of Section 21065 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Therefore, no environmental review is required.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 21, 2022
SUBJECT: Resolution Consolidating the General Municipal Election with the Statewide General Election
PREPARED BY: Raina Allan, City Clerk
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):
Effective & Efficient Government
Provide Effective Governance
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Adopt a Resolution (1) calling and giving notice of a general municipal election to be held on November 8, 2022 for the election of three City Council Members; (2) requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of Sonoma to consolidate a general municipal election to be held on November 8, 2022, with the Statewide General Election pursuant to Section 10403 of the Elections Code; (3) authorizing the City Manager to reimburse the County of Sonoma for the costs to conduct the election; and (4) approving guidelines for conducting said election.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:
Not applicable.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to City Council Ordinance No. 797, the City of Healdsburg must hold its General Municipal Election the same day as the Statewide General Election. The City of Healdsburg has entered into a professional services agreement with the County of Sonoma for the County Registrar of Voters Office to assist the City in conducting its municipal elections. The cost to the City is its pro-rata share of the expenses incurred by the County on a per voter basis plus direct costs for such items as publication of legal notices, typesetting and mailing of the sample ballot.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Attached, for the City Council’s review and action, is a draft resolution: (1) calling for a General Municipal Election to be held November 8, 2022 for the purpose of electing three Council Members; (2) requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of Sonoma to consolidate the Municipal Election with the Statewide General Election pursuant to Section 10403 of the
6.G
Packet Pg. 67
Elections Code; (3) authorizing the City Manager to reimburse the County of Sonoma for the costs to conduct the election; and (4) approving guidelines for conducting said election. The guidelines include the following provisions:
1. No fee for the filing of nomination papers.
2. A limit of 200 words for the Candidate Statement of Qualifications and inclusion of a statement is optional. The cost will be the responsibility of the candidate. The estimated cost is $861. The candidate will be charged for the actual costs incurred in the typesetting and printing of the optional Statement of Qualifications in the Voter Information Pamphlet.
3. No other election campaign material other than the statement of qualifications shall be permitted to be sent in the mailing of sample ballots.
4. Campaign contributions will be limited as set forth in Ordinance Nos. 1009 and 1163.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
Council could opt to direct staff to hold a stand-alone election. Under this option the City would have to perform all the tasks that have been outsourced to the Sonoma County Registrar of Voters, including preparing and printing all the election materials, hiring poll workers, and counting the ballots on election night. The cost of a stand-alone election would be higher than consolidating with the County of Sonoma and staff does not have the expertise to conduct the election.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding has been included as part of the proposed fiscal year 2022-23 General Fund budget, and the total cost is estimated at $75,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines, approval of this resolution is an administrative activity of the City and will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and is therefore not a project for purposes of CEQA.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 21, 2022
SUBJECT: Airport Management Services 2022
PREPARED BY: Tyler Kettmann, Utility Technician
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):
Infrastructure & Facilities
Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Adopt a Resolution conditionally awarding a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for Airport Management Services to Healdsburg Aviation subject to final negotiations, authorizing the City Manager to negotiate the final agreement terms and execute a PSA with a term length up to 5 years on behalf of the City, and authorizing a PSA not-to-exceed amount up to $340,000 with Healdsburg Aviation.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:
The awarded contractor would provide general airport maintenance activities, daily interaction, and customer services to those using the Healdsburg Municipal Airport.
BACKGROUND:
On August 6, 2012, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement for a contractor to provide general airport maintenance activities and customer services as related to airport operations. Since that time, Healdsburg Aviation has been providing these contracted services to the City in conjunction with the operation of an onsite airplane repair business. In 2015 City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a third amendment to the 2012 agreement, extending the term for up to five additional years. The 2012 professional services agreement expired on June 30, 2020.
In July of 2020 a new Professional Services Agreement (PSA) was executed for general airport maintenance activities and services related to airport operations, with a term length of one year.
The most recent PSA was amended once in June of 2021 and is set to expire on June 30, 2022.
6.H
Packet Pg. 74
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
General airport maintenance and oversight of daily airport activities is necessary for the successful ongoing operation of the airport. On May 24, 2022, the City posted a Request for Proposals (RFP) on the City website soliciting proposals from experience firms for the Airport Management 2022 Routine Maintenance Contract. On June 14, 2022, one proposal was received from Healdsburg Aviation.
Healdsburg Aviation proposed an annual fee of $59,980 to provide the requested services.
Additionally, they proposed a $0.15 per gallon flowage fee on aviation fuel sales at the Healdsburg Airport, and an annual fee of 25% of the long-term automobile parking revenue over the term of the contract.
The aviation fuel sales at the Healdsburg Municipal Airport are estimated between 35,000 and 45,000 gallons. The flowage fee has a potential to add an additional cost of $6,750 per year.
Over the last four years the long-term parking sales have averaged $1,500 per year. A 25% share of the revenue would be an additional cost of $375 per year.
While the fees proposed by Healdsburg Aviation are reasonable, the administrative burden of administering them is substantial. In an effort to streamline the proposed agreement and minimize unnecessary administrative burden, staff would like the ability to further negotiate the terms and conditions of the proposed PSA with Healdsburg Aviation. These negotiations would serve to clean up administrative difficulties with managing the various proposed fees and clarify the contractor’s expected scope of work. Based on the outcome of these further negotiations staff recommends up to a 5-year term for the PSA.
Staff recommends conditionally awarding a PSA to provide airport management services to Healdsburg Aviation subject to final negotiations, authorizing the City Manager to negotiate the final agreement terms and execute a PSA with a term length up to 5 years on behalf of the City, and authorizing a PSA not-to-exceed amount up to $340,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
Not Applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may choose not to award the contract to Healdsburg Aviation, whereby under this alternative the Council would need to reject all proposals and provide further direction to staff.
An alternative to using contracted services would be to hire staff to provide similar services.
However, City staff believe it is more efficient and less expensive to use Healdsburg Aviation to perform these activities.
6.H
Packet Pg. 75
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed annual cost is included in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 Adopted Fiscal Year Budgets within the Airport Fund. Subsequent annual costs shall be budgeted for in forthcoming fiscal years.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The Professional Services Agreement with Healdsburg Aviation is not a “project” pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines 15378(b)(4)(5) because the Professional Services Agreement does not involve commitment to any specific project that may impact the environment; therefore, no environmental review is required.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 21, 2022
SUBJECT: Janitorial Services Contract Amendment
PREPARED BY: Tyler Kettmann, Utility Technician
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):
Infrastructure & Facilities
Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Adopt a Resolution approving an amendment to the janitorial maintenance contract with ABM of Petaluma and authorizing the City Manager to execute the amendment, extending the contract term to December 31, 2022, and increasing the not to exceed amount by $107,073 to $483,731.
BACKGROUND:
The routine janitorial maintenance of City facilities is provided through contracted services. The current agreement for janitorial services was awarded to ABM of Petaluma by City Council in 2018 and became effective on July 1, 2018. The initial agreement required the contractor to provide personnel, materials, and equipment for the provision of regular janitorial services. The frequency of service is dependent upon the level of use of each contracted facility and ranges from twice to three times a week.
Since the agreement was executed, it has been amended three times per the terms and conditions.
As awarded, this agreement can be extended by the City Manager for four one-year terms, if the City and ABM mutually agree to such extension(s), through a duly executed amendment to the agreement. Under no circumstances will the contract be extended beyond June 30, 2024. Council also gave authority for a 20% contingency for the agreement, due to the unknowns related to City Hall construction, the annual CPI increase and any extra cleaning services (carpet cleaning, floor sealing, etc.) that may be requested for the facilities.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The original agreement scope of work included City Hall, Corporation Yard, Police Station, Public Works O&M Building, and Wastewater Reclamation Facility. Over the course of the contract additional facilities have been added to the scope at various times including the Senior Center, Healdsburg Municipal Airport, and the Healdsburg Community Pool. Additionally, as a
6.I
Packet Pg. 79
result of COVID-19, the vendor has been asked to conduct additional deep cleaning after a COVID exposure occurred in a City facility. Cost for goods and services increases and changes in scope have increased the annual expected cost at existing facilities as well. Below and attached is a summary of the expected annual cost at each facility in 2018 and the expected annual expenses as of June 30, 2022.
Location
Annual Costs Expected 2018
(FY 18-19)
Annual Costs Estimate to close
6/30/2022
City Hall $ 25,407.12 $ 28,463.68
Corp Yard $ 12,934.44 $ 13,924.24
Police Station $ 26,202.60 $ 36,000.52
Public Works O&M $ 12,481.32 $ 14,116.05
Wastewater Reclamation Facility $ 9,168.72 $ 10,966.44
Healdsburg Airport $ 2,400.00
Senior Center $ 13,768.20
Healdsburg Swim Center $ 4,908.98
TOTAL $ 86,194.20 $ 124,548.11
Due to unforeseen needs related to the Covid-19 pandemic and the expanding scope of janitorial services at City facilities, the 20% contingency has been exceeded over the course of the current contract term.
The previously executed amendments to date bring the approved not-to-exceed amount of the contract to $376,658. The total costs incurred by the City to ABM over the course of this contract term amount to $406,966 to date, with an additional $13,231 in costs expected by fiscal year end on June 30, 2022. The costs expected under this contract, should it be extended for another fiscal year into 2022-2023, are expected to average $10,589 per month.
Current costs of services are far exceeding the initial award amount. As a result, instead of extending the contract for a final additional year, staff is proposing extending the current contract for only an additional six months to ensure continuous services while staff rebids the contract with a revised scope of work that meets the current needs of the City. It is estimated that six months of the expected scope of services will cost $63,534. A summary of the incurred and expected costs under the proposed amendment is provided below and attached.
Total costs incurred during contract term $ 406,966
Additional estimated costs to close on 6/30/22 $ 13,231 Additional estimated costs to extend services to 12/31/22 $ 63,534 Current contract not-to-exceed amount $ 376,658
Proposed not-to-exceed amount increase $ 107,073

Packet Pg. 80
Staff is requesting Council authorize the City Manager to execute a fourth amendment to the contract, increasing the not to exceed amount by $107,073 to $483,731, and extending the contract term expiration date to December 31, 2022 to allow time for staff to rebid the contract with the expanded scope of work.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may choose not to approve the amendment as proposed, whereby under this alternative the Council would need to provide further direction to staff.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The budget appropriations to close fiscal year 2021-2022 included the estimated costs associated with this amendment as of June 30, 2022. The costs estimated for fiscal year 2022-2023 under this amendment are accounted for in the Building Maintenance Fund 2022-2023 adopted budget.
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; and therefore, is not a project for purposes of CEQA.

CITY OF HEALDSBURG
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 21, 2022
SUBJECT: Vacate the Public Trail Easement as shown on the First Final Map for the Saggio Hills Project and Authorizing the City Manager to execute the Amended Northwest Trail Easements and the Certificates of Acceptance for the Saggio Hills Project
PREPARED BY: Curt Bates, Principal Engineer
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):
Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
By motion:
1. Adopt a Resolution summarily vacating the public trail easement as shown on the first final map for the Saggio Hills Project pursuant to Chapter 4 of part 3 of Division 9 of the California Streets and Highways Code, which public trail easement will be superseded by relocation; and
2. Adopt a Resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute the amended northwest trail easement and the certificate of acceptance by and between the City of Healdsburg and Oaks and Olives, LLC as well as the amended northwest trail easement and the certificate of acceptance by and between the City of Healdsburg and Sonoma Luxury Resort, LLC for the Saggio Hills Project.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:
On September 30, 2020, the City Council received a report regarding potential amendments to the Development Agreement (“Saggio DA”) with Sonoma Luxury Resort LLC ("Developer") for the Saggio Hills Project (now known as "Montage Healdsburg").
On December 15, 2020, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed Third Amendment to the Development Agreement ("Third Amendment") and adopted Resolution No. 2020-17 recommending that the Healdsburg City Council approve the proposed Third Amendment.
6.K
Packet Pg. 121
On January 19, 2021, the City Council conducted a public hearing on the Third Amendment and introduced an ordinance amending the Development Agreement by and between Sonoma Luxury Resort LLC and the City of Healdsburg for the Saggio Hills Project. The ordinance was adopted on February 1, 2021. The Third Amendment, in part, addresses the relocation of the Northwest Trail Easement.
BACKGROUND:
The Saggio DA requires the Developer to construct a public trail for pedestrian use (Northwest Trail) through the vineyards and oak woodland on the north side of Passalacqua Drive to scenic viewpoints at the top of the ridge. The trail is to be conveyed to the City and maintained by the City for public use.
Through the trail design process, the Developer determined that the trail easement that was dedicated on the First Final Map does not allow for a trail alignment that adequately addresses accessibility and drainage constraints posed by the site topography.
The Third Amendment authorized a revised trail alignment and established a process for modifying the trail easement. The new alignment generally follows the easement defined in the First Final Map but is modified to include switchbacks and realigned sections to enhance accessibility, address the need for appropriate drainage, and minimize ongoing maintenance requirements.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
For the City to implement the modification of the trail easement alignment, the City Council must adopt the two (2) resolutions enclosed with this staff report.
The first resolution will vacate the Northwest Trail Easement that was offered for dedication by the Developer on the First Final Map, and accepted by the City, subject to improvement, pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 8333 (c) of the California Streets and Highways Code. (“Resolution to Vacate”) (See Attachment 1). Once approved, the City Clerk will be required to record a certified copy of the Resolution to Vacate in the Official Records of Sonoma County pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code Section 8336.
The second resolution will approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Amended Northwest Trail Easement and the Certificate of Acceptance by and between the City of Healdsburg and Oaks and Olives, LLC as well as Amended Northwest Trail Easement, and the Certificate of Acceptance appended thereto, by and between the City of Healdsburg and Sonoma Luxury Resort, LLC. Both Amended Northwest Trail Easements and the Amended Northwest Trail Legal Descriptions appended to the easements have been reviewed and approved by the City Surveyor.
Note that Streets and Highways Code Section 8333 (c) authorizes the summary vacation of a public service easement when it has been superseded by relocation, as is the case in this instance by virtue of the Amended Northwest Trail Easements. Accordingly, the recording of the Resolution to Vacate is conditioned on the concurrent recording of the Amended Northwest Trail Easements to ensure the replacement easement reflected in the Amended Northwest Trail
6.K
Packet Pg. 122
Easements is in place when the Resolution to Vacate becomes effective.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
The Developer is bound by, and required to perform, all mitigation measures for the Project contained in and required by the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Saggio Hills Project, including all mitigation monitoring and reporting.
ALTERNATIVES:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the two attached Resolutions to (i) vacate the original Northwest Trail Easement and (ii) approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Amended Northwest Trail Easements and the Certificates of Acceptance appended thereto and authorize it to be recorded. Alternatively, the City Council could consider the following actions:
1) Approve the Resolutions with minor revisions,
2) Direct that significant changes be made to the Resolutions in which case the item will be brought back for Council action on a future agenda.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Montage Healdsburg project is a privately funded development that will generate property tax, transient occupancy tax, impact fees, and sales tax revenues which will help to offset the City's costs of providing services to the project. Through the Developer Agreement, the Developer is required to make several land dedications, public and private improvements, and cash contributions to the City. The project is likely to provide other long-term benefits to the community.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The adoption of the two Resolutions described above are not a project subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because the public trail improvements have already been constructed upon the modified trail alignment reflected in the Amended Northwest Trail Easements in accordance with the terms of the Public Improvement Agreement. Therefore, the adoption of these Resolutions will not result in a direct physical change in the environment nor a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Further, even assuming the adoption of these Resolutions are a project as defined in CEQA, the adoption of these Resolutions are exempt from environmental review pursuant to section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines because each is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and where, as in the case of the adoption of these Resolutions, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of these Resolutions may have a significant effect on the environment, the adoption of these Resolutions are not subject to CEQA.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Healdsburg as follows:
1. The recitals set forth above are adopted as findings in support of this Resolution.
2. The adoption of this Resolution to vacate the Northwest Trail Easement is not a project subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because the vacation of the Northwest Trail Easement, which has already been superseded by its relocation upon the alignment reflected in the Amended Northwest Trail Easement in accordance with the terms of the Public Improvement Agreement, will not result in a direct physical change in the environment nor a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Further, even assuming the adoption of this Resolution is a project as defined in CEQA, the adoption of this Resolution is exempt from environmental review pursuant to section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines because it is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and where, as in the case of the adoption of this Resolution, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of this Resolution may have a significant effect on the environment, the adoption of this Resolution is not subject to CEQA.
3. In accordance with California Streets and Highways Code Section 8333 (c), the City Council of the City of Healdsburg hereby vacates the Northwest Trail Easement, offered for dedication by Developer and accepted by City as shown on the first final subdivision map recorded in connection with the Project in the Official Records of Sonoma County on May 23, 2018, in Book 795 of Maps at Pages 31-40, Document No. 2018-037508 (“FM-1”), as more particularly depicted and described on Page 34 of FM-1 and in Exhibit A attached hereto, on the condition that the Amended Northwest Trail Easement be recorded in the Official Records of Sonoma County concurrently with this Resolution.
