CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 21, 2025
SUBJECT: Energy Efficiency Forecast and Rebate Programs Update 2025 PREPARED BY: Terra Sampson, Utility Conservation Analyst STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Pursue Initiatives that Promote Environmental Stewardship Provide Effective Governance
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

2. Adopt a Resolution approving ten-year targets for energy efficiency and fuel substitution programs from 2026 to 2035; and

3. Adopt a Resolution approving updates to the Healdsburg Building Energy Rebate Programs.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

In October 2023, City Council adopted the Healdsburg Climate Mobilization Strategy (CMS), which included extensive community engagement and outreach activities. The CMS Implementation Plan includes multiple actions related to energy efficiency and efficient electrification.

Energy efficiency and efficient electrification information at large is shared through multiple channels such as the City’s website, social media channels, City Manager newsletter, and utility bill inserts.

BACKGROUND:

California Senate Bill 1037 (Kehoe), signed into law in September 2005, established several important policies on energy efficiency. Among the many provisions of the law is a state-wide commitment to cost‐effective and feasible energy efficiency, with the expectation that all utilities consider energy efficiency before investing in other resources to meet growing demand.

6.A
Packet Pg. 12
Assembly Bill 2021 (Levine), introduced in 2006, added to these policies by requiring the establishment of 10‐year energy efficiency targets. This is a statutory requirement in Public Utilities Code 9505(b) on a quadrennial basis (i.e., updated 10-year energy efficiency forecasts to be developed every 4 years).

The City Council adopted the City’s most recent 10-year electric energy efficiency goals in 2021. Figure 1 below provides a summary of the annual electric energy efficiency goals and achievements since 2018. Detailed results for Healdsburg’s energy programs in 2024 are provided in Attachment 4 and Attachment 5 to this staff report.

Figure 1. Historical Energy Efficiency Program Results
Chart showing the Energy Efficiency Program results compared to the targets from 2018-2024.

EE stands for Energy Efficiency and FS stands for Fuel Substitution (also referred to as Efficient Electrification).

As depicted in the chart, in some years the City exceeded the annual goals, mostly due to large commercial lighting projects, whereas in recent years the targets have not been achieved. This is in part due to initial impacts of COVID and lowered participation rates, but has persisted due to limiting opportunities for claimable cost-effective energy efficiency program savings. For example, as State regulations and building codes require higher efficiency, then there is less efficiency that can be attributed to and claimed by energy rebate programs.

The past two years, the City has also developed new programs for Fuel Substitution (FS), switching from natural gas to efficient electric appliances, which presents a substantial opportunity for claimable energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) savings and is discussed in more detail below.

6.A
Packet Pg. 13
To achieve energy efficiency savings, the City has offered a variety of energy efficiency programs. These programs have been focused on community needs for energy efficiency and primarily focused on broad areas of commercial lighting, appliances, weatherization, and heat pumps. Funding for these programs is largely supported by the City’s Cap & Trade proceeds, which must be used to benefit electric ratepayers while reducing GHG emissions. Programs can also be supported by the Electric Public Benefit’s Charge, which is currently used to fund the CARE income-qualified electric bill discount.

Critical to the success of energy efficiency programs is customer participation. Without the customer’s awareness and willingness to adopt energy efficiency measures and participate in the rebate programs, energy efficiency goals cannot be met. Therefore, well designed programs are necessary to incentivize purchases, upgrades and behaviors that result in a measurable reduction in energy use.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Energy efficiency and efficient electrification provide several important benefits to Healdsburg Electric and its ratepayers. Energy efficiency measures and projects reduce GHG emissions associated with electricity generation (i.e., natural gas combustion), save ratepayers on electricity costs, reduce stress on California’s grid during peak demands, and make room for additional loads such as electric vehicle charging. Therefore, Healdsburg Electric is committed to energy efficiency and efficient electrification as a climate change mitigation strategy.

To analyze Healdsburg Electric’s energy efficiency potential, the City along with all publiclyowned utilities in California, contracted with GDS Associates to create a standardized model to quantify each utility’s unique efficiency forecast and goals1. A memo from GDS summarizing the results of the study for Healdsburg is included with this staff report as Attachment 3. The model quantified inputs such as projected electricity sales and energy consumption, customer type, current and expected program offerings, saturation rates, market and regulatory factors, and willingness to participate in rebate programs.

The model estimates the technical, economic, and market potential for energy measures for residential and non-residential customers, defined as follows and depicted in Figure 2:
• Technical potential is the energy savings that would result from installation of the most energy efficient measures that are commercially available, regardless of costeffectiveness or rebate program offerings. • Economic potential includes only savings from the installation of cost-effective energy measures.
• Market potential is a subset of the economic potential which is scaled by customers’ awareness and willingness to adopt energy efficient equipment. It also includes calibration of the model based on actual energy efficiency savings and costs for a specific 1 Note: This forecast is different from the Electric Demand Forecast that Healdsburg Electric is working on simultaneously. The forecast discussed in this staff report is part of a State requirement to forecast energy rebate program potentials and goals. The Electric Demand Forecast is intended to forecast future overall electric consumption and demands, in order for Healdsburg Electric to plan for future electricity generation and infrastructure needs.

utility, and the rebate program offerings. The market potential results are therefore used as the annual energy efficiency goals.

Figure 2. Type of Energy Efficiency Potential2
Diagram depicting the difference between Technical, Economic, and Market Potential.

New to the forecast this year, the model also estimates energy savings from Fuel Substitution, which is broken into two categories. From 2026-2029, the model estimates overall energy savings from rebate programs for switching from natural gas to efficient electric appliances.

With the understanding that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) is currently working on a state-wide proposal to require that HVAC and water heating appliance replacements use zeroemission appliances3 , the model for 2030-2035 estimates energy savings only for selecting high efficiency heat pumps compared to standard electric options and does not include the energy savings for switching from natural gas to efficient electric appliances. Cooking fuel substitution estimates the overall energy savings for switching from natural gas to efficient electric options for the full time period 2026-2035. As a forecast update is required every 4 years, this can be revisited once more is known about the potential CARB regulation.

The recommended goals in Figure 3 are market potential savings based on “net” savings rather than “gross” savings. This means they do not include the energy savings that would have occurred in the absence of utility incentives, and therefore more accurately reflect the energy efficiency savings attributable to Healdsburg’s programs. Healdsburg also excludes savings attributable to building and appliance codes and standards, as these are considered requirements.

Chart showing the Energy Program forecast from 2026-2035. EE stands for Energy Efficiency, FS stands for Fuel Substitution, and FSEE stands for Fuel Substitution Electrification Efficiency.

Non-residential savings continue to represent the bulk of the City’s potential energy efficiency, primarily because non-residential customers have energy-intensive buildings and processes, where just a few commercial projects can result in substantial savings. Non-residential accounts are 18% of total electric accounts, but account for about 64% of city-wide electricity usage.

Energy savings from refrigeration, heating and cooling, lighting, and motors can be substantial in non-residential buildings because the equipment is used frequently throughout the year.

However, program savings related to commercial lighting will be limited in the future due to a new California health and safety regulation regarding mercury-containing light fixtures4, which essentially makes LEDs the default option for light fixture replacements.

In the coming years leading up to an expected CARB regulation for zero-emission space and water heating appliances, residential fuel substitution also contributes a substantial amount of potential energy savings. This is because the City can claim the overall ‘equivalent energy savings’, which also includes the energy savings for switching from natural gas. While the targets for residential fuel substitution appear high, they have had high participation since the rebate offerings were introduced in 2023 and are gaining in customer interest.

In addition to the annual net goals, the energy saved year over year is accounted for as a cumulative net savings as shown in Figure 4. This includes each measure’s usable life and assumes every annual target is met. Although the expected annual savings in 2035 is only 198 MWh, each prior year’s achieved targets become cumulative savings over time achieving up to 4 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2208

Energy program goals are often also expressed as a percentage of electricity sales. Staff recommend adopting the goals as MWh instead of as a percentage of sales. Electric load growth due to transportation electrification was excluded from this study, so that the study would only analyze building electric consumption which the programs might be able to influence. However, in reality, future years will see much higher load growth and it would not be feasible to achieve the percentage targets identified in this study.

Strategies for Achieving the Proposed Goals
Achieving these goals will require effective programs structures and increasing awareness and participation of existing programs, particularly for commercial building owners. The programs currently offered are on a voluntary basis making outreach, education on the value of energy efficiency and efficient electrification, and well-designed programs necessary to gain participation.

It is also important to periodically review program eligibility criteria, rebate amounts, new program offerings, and programs that no longer have claimable savings. The newest POU Technical Reference Manual (TRM) was recently completed and establishes the claimable savings for various programs. Staff recently reviewed the existing programs based on the new POU TRM and propose some program updates, which are outlined in Attachment 6. The more substantial updates are also described below in italics.

The Electric Department offers several energy efficiency and efficient electrification programs to incentivize all customer segments. Below is a high-level overview of the programs5.

Residential Programs
Heating & Cooling Rebates for the installation of a heat pump HVAC system
Incentives for enrolling a smart thermostat in
the Load Management program
Weatherization Rebates for attic and wall insulation
Remove rebates for windows because no
longer included in the POU TRM as claimable
savings and low participation
Appliances Rebates for clothes washers, heat pump clothes dryers, heat pump water heaters, and electric
cooktops
Add rebates for heat pump pool heater fuel
5 Note: Only building energy programs are included in this staff report. The City also has a number of electric transportation, load management, and water programs. Information about all Healdsburg programs is available at www.SmartLivingHealdsburg.org.

substitution due to high savings opportunity
Remove rebates for pool pump because no
longer included in the POU TRM as claimable
savings and low participation
CARE / Income-Qualified Programs
All of the residential programs above, plus:

Multi-Family Appliance Replacement Program Rebates up to 100% for certain appliances at large income-qualified multi-family properties
Phase 1 of the program currently focused on
refrigerators and dishwashers, targeting phase
1 completion in 2025
Future phases to be determined at a later date
Heating & Cooling Rebates up to 100% for smart thermostats that are enrolled in the Load Management program
Remove the $50,000 maximum rebate cap for existing income-restricted multi-family properties working on fuel substitution projects for their whole property, with utility pre-approval for project and confirmation of available budget
Commercial Programs
Heating & Cooling Rebates for the installation of a heat pump HVAC system
Appliances Rebates for heat pump water heaters and
commercial kitchen equipment
Commercial Lighting Rebates for LED lighting upgrades or controls/sensors that incentivize peak demand
reduction
Modifications to reduce rebate eligibility and
estimated savings, as well as change focus to
controls/sensors and reducing lighting
fixtures/over-lighting, due to new CA health
and safety code
Custom Program Site-specific energy efficiency improvements such as refrigeration or motor replacement
Include measures that have gas savings only,
such as hot water savings that will reduce the
demand on future electric hot water heater
Remove electrification bonus and set different rebate amounts between energy efficiency and fuel substitution, similar to the residential rebate structure.

Following this Council item, Staff will begin working on the rebate updates, including rebate forms, webpage information, and informing contractor lists of the changes. Updates will be rolled out as ready and completed by no later than December 31, 2025. Staff will also monitor rebate programs and make administrative updates, such as eligibility clarifications or efficiency requirements based on the new POU TRM, as necessary to ensure program success and effectiveness.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Energy efficiency and efficient electrification programs contribute to GHG emission reductions, help sustain grid reliability, and help minimize grid impacts from new load such as electric vehicle charging. The Climate Mobilization Strategy includes targets for decarbonizing residential buildings by 8% and commercial buildings by 5% by 2030. If achieved, these strategies would reduce GHG emissions by 812 MTCO2e and 314 MTCO2e respectively.

ALTERNATIVES:

As an alternative the City Council could direct staff to increase or decrease energy efficiency goals by a percentage. Staff does not recommend this alternative at this time. The study performed by GDS to develop these targets was implemented using the same methodology for all publicly-owned utilities (POUs) in California, vetted by staff, and represents the best forecast of energy efficiency program potential that is available. The POU report has a statutory requirement to be submitted to the California Energy Commission by no later than May 14.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The adopted budget for the Cap-and-Trade Allowances and Public Benefit Fund includes the cost of these programs and contains sufficient funding to support staff’s recommendation for the current biennial budget for FY2024-25 and FY2025-26. From time-to-time, Staff will come before Council to recommend new programs or changes in incentive levels for existing programs and propose any budget adjustments at that time. Staff will also consider these program goals in the Cap-and-Trade and Public Benefit Fund budget proposals during the next biennial budget process, which sufficient funds are available in these Funds to support the energy efficiency and fuel substitution targets. Customer participation is necessary to achieve these goals, making it important to maintain flexibility in program design, type, and incentive levels, while being costeffective.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The adoption of the Energy Efficiency Forecast and Goals is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because the Energy Efficiency Forecast and Goals is not a project, since it will not have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect impact on the environment.

MEMORANDUM
TO City of Healdsburg
FROM GDS Associates, Inc.

DATE March 13, 2025
RE 2025 CMUA Energy Efficiency Potential Forecasting Study

INTRODUCTION
This memo provides the City of Healdsburg (Healdsburg) results of the California Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA) Energy Efficiency (EE) Potential Forecasting Study conducted in 2025 by GDS Associates, Inc. (GDS). The results described here are specific to the Healdsburg service territory and account for unique characteristics of the service area, customer base, climate zone, economic conditions, and other relevant factors. This memo provides a summary of the EE Savings Forecast and Fuel Substitution/Electrification Efficiency program opportunity, as well as a description of the data provided in the detailed results spreadsheet file provided to the utility. Energy efficiency potential is followed by fuel substitution and electrification efficiency opportunities.

SUMMARY OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY POTENTIAL
This potential study provides a roadmap for Healdsburg as they develop strategies and programs for energy efficiency.

The development of market potential estimates for a range of feasible measures is useful for program planning and modification purposes.

The Healdsburg energy efficiency program target for the next 10 years (sum of incremental annual, 2026 through 2035) is set at 1,186 MWh. This results in an average annual target of 0.15 percent of total projected energy sales. Figure 1 provides the market potential for the residential and non-residential sectors, as well as the total incremental potential as a percentage of total sales for the 10-year period of 2026 to 2035.

SUMMARY OF FUEL SUBSTITUTION AND ELECTRIFICATION EFFICIENCY The analysis of fuel substitution and electrification efficiency opportunities provides a roadmap for the City of Healdsburg as they develop strategies and programs to support fuel substitution and electrification efficiency. The development of program opportunity estimates account for converting fossil fuel heating (space heating and water heating), and cooking for a range of feasible measures associated with the eTRM fuel substitution measures. As the market for fuel substitution moves forward and the disposition of proposed CARB zero-emission rules for space heating

6.A.c
Packet Pg. 26
Attachment: Healdsburg Energy Efficiency and Fuel Substitution Potential Forecast Memo (4681 : Energy Efficiency Forecast and Programs) and water heating become clearer, the results are useful for program planning and modification purposes. Fuel substitution and electrification are described separately, with a focus for fuel substitution on the 2026-2029 timeframe, prior to the modeling assumption of proposed CARB rules coming into effect in 2030.

The Healdsburg fuel substitution opportunity identifies a market opportunity from 2026-2029 of 737 net equivalent MWh (eMWh).1This result grows from 102 net ekWh in 2026 to 278 net ekWh in 2029. Electricity sales are expected to increase by 178 MWh due to in-program measures over the 2026-2029 timeframe. Figure 2 provides program opportunities related to eMWh, MWh load increases, the combined residential and non-residential sectors, as well as the total net eMWh savings. Fuel substitution savings beyond 2029 are solely based on cooking measures, which may be speculative and subject to change given program design decisions and priorities.

1 Fuel substitution savings are calculated by converting therm savings from gas to equivalent kWh (ekWh). Therm savings are multiplied by 29.3 to create ekWh and divided by 1,000 to create eMWh. The increased electricity from these loads is subtracted from the eMWh to arrive at the net ekWh or net eMWh of savings.

The Healdsburg electrification efficiency opportunity identifies a market opportunity from 2030-2035 of 240 MWh in savings. This result is driven by the proposed CARB zero-emission rules and possible energy efficiency adoption level that could come through programs. These results are predicated on the proposed CARB rules, but indicate a significant program opportunity in the future should those rules come to pass. Figure 3 provides the program opportunity for energy savings relative to possible load growth driven by the proposed CARB rules and share of total energy sales after adding the impact of the proposed CARB rules to the baseline forecast. These savings and impacts are highly speculative and dependent on the implementation and timing of proposed CARB rules, as well as future program design decisions.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
California’s Publicly Owned Utilities (POUs) continue to collaborate to develop cost-effective Energy Efficiency (EE) programs and report annual results to their customers and the California Energy Commission (Energy Commission) in a consistent and comprehensive manner. This 19 th
edition report presents the latest results from POUs’ wide range of EE programs.

During the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 reporting cycle, POUs expended over $211 million on EE programs for their communities, including low-income customers, resulting in over 304 Gigawatt hours (GWh) of net annual energy savings and reducing peak demand by more than 61 Megawatts (MW). Since the enactment of Senate Bill (SB) 1037 (Kehoe, 2005), public power has spent over $3.113 billion on EE and demand reduction, achieving over 3,588 GWh in net lifecycle energy savings.

California’s POUs are exploring new methods to reduce energy use and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in a cost-effective manner. As indicated in the utility narratives, many POUs have expanded their electrification and GHG gas reduction efforts, focusing on clean energy solutions that may demonstrate greater cost-effectiveness than remaining EE opportunities.

Appendix A contains additional information on each POU’s portfolio, including program descriptions, expenditures, and energy savings. Appendix B presents a comprehensive outline of the calculations used within the Cost Effectiveness Tool (CET) Reporting Platform (RP) (CET/RP).

INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to the Public Utilities Code, each year POUs are required to report the following information to customers and the Energy Commission :
1 • Investments in EE and demand reduction programs.
• Descriptions of each EE and demand reduction program, program expenditures, costeffectiveness of each program, and expected and actual EE savings and demand reduction results.
• Sources for funding of EE and demand reduction programs. • Methodologies and input assumptions that are used to determine cost-effectiveness of programs.
• A comparison of the POUs’ annual EE targets and the POUs’ reported electricity efficiency savings and demand reductions.

This collaborative report compiles the required data from the individual POUs into a comprehensive document in compliance with the California Public Utilities Code.

The State’s POUs supply approximately one-quarter of California’s electricity to a broad range of communities with widely differing climates, customer bases, and economic conditions. This compilation is presented to foster analyses of broader EE trends and offer policymakers datadriven considerations regarding the practical impacts of related policies.

The POUs have long supported California’s EE policies and administered programs to provide financial incentives and rebates to POU customers for investments in a variety of energy-saving measures. The purpose of this report is to reflect on the successes and challenges of the past year, while looking ahead to guide discussions on how to achieve further energy savings in the future.

Attachment: 2025 POU EE Report - Healdsburg Excerpt (4681 : Energy Efficiency Forecast and Programs) Energy Efficiency in California’s Public Power Sector — 2025 5 As shown in Table 1, public power has collectively spent over $3.113 billion on EE programs, resulting in 109,204 GWh in net lifecycle energy savings since 2006 and avoided the development of 1,817 MW of generation resources to serve peak demand during that time.

Table 1 also shows that Net Annual Savings continue to be below that realized prior to 2020, indicating that there has been a significant shift in the energy efficiency savings available for utility programs.

This year’s report has been updated to more accurately account for energy savings from electrification measures. To calculate the savings for electrification measures with fuel substitution, positive therm savings are converted to an equivalent kWh and combined with the negative kWh savings, resulting in a net equivalent kWh savings. Savings for electrification measures are included in the energy efficiency totals in Tables 1-10.

California’s POUs continue to support the statewide goal of doubling EE by 2030 under the Energy Commission’s direction. Using the Energy Commission’s methodology to determine cumulative energy savings, POUs’ cumulative first-year savings from FY 2015 through FY 2024 equals 4,953 GWh, as presented in Table 2 below. The POUs’ energy efficiency results are influenced by a number of factors, including the lingering effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, which continues to impact both program delivery and participation rates. Additionally, the market for easily implemented energy-saving measures is approaching saturation, which is limiting potential savings from many traditional EE programs. Compounding these challenges are ongoing budget constraints and limitations in workforce capacity, which further constrain the scope of EE initiatives.

TABLE 2. California POU Cumulative 1st Year Energy Savings Comparison Table 3, shown on the next page, provides a comprehensive summary of the EE savings for all POUs’ respective EE Portfolios in FY 2024. The 16 largest utilities subject to Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) requirements account for the majority of savings within the public power community.

As in past years, the two largest POUs, Los Angeles Department of Water & Power (LADWP) and Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), accounted for 61% of the total POU savings during the 2024 reporting cycle. Taken as a group, the 16 IRP POUs produced 96% of the total savings. The remainder of the savings were realized by 25 smaller POUs located throughout California.

RESOURCES AND TOOLS
This section provides an overview of the technical resources, analytical tools, methodologies, and input assumptions used or developed by public power to evaluate its EE program and develop EE targets, in accordance with the Public Utilities Code.6 EE Cost-Effectiveness Tool and Reporting Platform
Energy Platforms, LLC developed a cloud-based EE cost-effectiveness tool and reporting platform (CET/RP) to improve POUs’ tracking and evaluation of program performance and to support the development of reports in compliance with state and federal reporting requirements. This tool was launched in 2019 to calculate the cost-effectiveness of EE and demand reduction measures and programs and to summarize and report the related program expenditures and energy savings. The model includes all of the traditional benefit-cost ratio calculation methodologies used industry-wide to evaluate EE resource programs: Total Resource Cost (TRC), Program Administrator Cost (PAC), Ratepayer Impact (RIM), and Participant Cost Test.

Using this tool, POUs can analyze individual efficiency measures or full portfolios to determine the potential savings and cost-effectiveness before implementation. POUs are able to create unique programs and measures for their utility – and may choose to share them with other POUs collaboratively. The model also allows each POU to be able to specify many key inputs, including, but not limited to, the following:
• retail rates,
• hourly load shapes,
• hourly GHG emissions curves,
• hourly avoided cost, and
• overhead allocations by measure, programs, portfolio, sector, and/or end-use.

The tool allows POUs to manage reference libraries of measures, avoided costs, load shapes, and GHG emissions, allowing useful tracking and comparative scenario analyses for integrated planning purposes. The CET/RP has undergone recent updates to fully integrate the statewide electronic TRM (eTRM) and enable reporting of gas savings and equivalent kWh for fuel substitution measures. Energy Platforms, LLC continues to update and improve the platform to enhance reporting functionality.

Attachment: 2025 POU EE Report - Healdsburg Excerpt (4681 : Energy Efficiency Forecast and Programs) Energy Efficiency in California’s Public Power Sector — 2025 12 Technical Reference Manual
POUs contracted for the development of a POU technical reference manual7(TRM) in 2013, and replaced DEER as the basis for which most POUs calculate the energy savings of their programs.

The POU TRM has since been updated in 2016, 2017, and 2025. Deviations from the TRM for individual utilities are noted in Appendix A
The TRM provides the methods, formulas, and default assumptions used for estimating energy savings and peak demand impacts from EE measures and projects in a user-friendly format.

POUs use energy savings estimates to report program accomplishments and measure progress toward program goals. EE measures are documented and classified as either unit energy savings measures, semi-custom measures, or custom measures. The TRM includes nonresidential and residential measures, presenting each measure type in separate sections, grouped by technology type.

In addition, public power continues its involvement in the California Technical Forum’s (CalTF) eTRM, an online repository for statewide deemed measures for California. 8 NCPA, SCPPA,
SMUD, and LADWP are members of the CalTF Policy Advisory Committee, which consists of statewide EE stakeholders who advise on the organization's vision, mission, and guiding principles, and affirm the annual Work Plan. The eTRM is now integrated into both the POUs’ energy efficiency reporting platform and the POU TRM.

Evaluation, Measurement & Verification
California Public Utilities Code requires each POU to make available to its customers and the Energy Commission the results of any independent evaluation that measures and verifies the EE savings and the reduction in energy demand achieved by its EE.9 The Evaluation, Measurement, & Verification (EM&V) process relies on the approaches articulated in the National Action Plan for EE, adopted CPUC protocols, and the innovation and expertise of firms experienced in program evaluation. EM&V reports help to define the effectiveness of individual programs with the intent of improving future offerings. Key findings from the EM&V reports confirm high realization rates for reported energy savings.10

SOURCES OF FUNDING
This section provides an overview of the POUs’ sources of funding for its investments in EE and demand reduction programs, as required by the Public Utilities Code.11 The POUs collectively spent $211 million in FY 2024 from a combination of Public Goods Charge (PGC) funds, Capand-Trade (C&T) allowances, and General Fund monies.

Public Goods Charge
The PGC is a “non-bypassable” usage-based charge on local distribution services collected by POUs in accordance with the Public Utilities Code.12 The PGC is available to fund investments in the following:
• Cost-effective demand-side management services to promote EE and energy conservation,
• New investment in renewable energy resources and technologies, • Research, development, and demonstration programs for the public interest to advance science or technology not adequately provided by competitive and regulated markets, and
• Services provided for low-income electricity customers.

Cap-and-Trade Allowances
The California C&T program allows utilities to use proceeds from the sale of freely allocated allowances to invest in EE programs to reduce GHG emissions. Expenditures explicitly noted as acceptable include but are not limited to equipment rebates and building retrofits.

Funds are generated once a quarter as part of CARB’s regular C&T auctions, but the level of available revenues is expected to increase over time as minimum auction prices have escalation factors that are applied once a year.13
General Fund
POUs also support EE improvements and social good in the communities that they serve by using funds from their general operating reserves through programs such as home improvement and retrofit projects, appliance recycling and replacement programs, disconnection assistance programs for DACs, and income-qualified bill assistance discounts

Major Program and Portfolio Changes
During 2024, Healdsburg Electric continued implementing a new multi-family program for appliance replacements in income-qualified multi-family properties. Healdsburg Electric has also continued the promotion and implementation of existing rebate programs, making minor modifications as needed to improve the programs. New in 2024, Healdsburg Electric also updated electric vehicle (EV) programs and launched a Home Energy Load Management program for managed EV charging and smart thermostat control. Additionally, Healdsburg Electric is supporting an in-depth energy audit of the Wastewater Reclamation Facility, one of the highest electricity consumers in the City, to identify energy efficiency opportunities for the treatment facility.

Program and Portfolio Highlights
The City of Healdsburg continued implementation of the strategies and actions outlined in its citywide Climate Mobilization Strategy to help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Healdsburg. One of these programs is the Appliance Replacement Program for income-qualified multi-family properties, which completed 5 pre-assessment audits to determine equipment eligibility in the identified properties and collaborated with a local non-profit organization to receive a grant award for the non-profit group’s support with outreach and on-the-ground implementation of the program moving forward.

Commercial, Industrial & Agricultural Programs
The City offers the following commercial programs:
• Commercial Lighting Rebates: This program engages local lighting and electrical contractors to promote and install energy-efficient lighting upgrades through technical assistance and financial incentives available from the Electric Department. Adjustments limiting the rebate eligibility will likely be made to this program in 2025 due to new building codes and health and safety regulations regarding the sale of mercury light fixtures.
• Commercial HVAC Rebates: The Electric Department offers commercial customers a variety of HVAC rebates. There are rebate offerings for heat pump HVAC systems and heat pump water heaters to promote efficient electric space heating and cooling and water heating.
• Electric Kitchen Equipment: The Electric Department offers rebates for efficient electric commercial kitchen equipment, based on the California Energy Wise program. A onetime additional electrification rebate is also available to support switching from natural gas appliances to efficient electric appliances.

6.A.d
Packet Pg. 48
Attachment: 2025 POU EE Report - Healdsburg Excerpt (4681 : Energy Efficiency Forecast and Programs) Energy Efficiency in California’s Public Power Sector — 2025 A-76 • Custom EE Programs: The Electric Department will consider custom energy efficiency programs for site-specific consumption. The Electric Department requires that its contractor review and endorse all custom programs. This review may result in a small cost adder to the proposed project, but confirms the estimated savings and allows greater flexibility for the program. The Electric Department retains the sole right to approve or deny custom projects. The in-depth energy audit of the Wastewater Reclamation Facility is expected to result in one or more custom program rebates. The audit is being supported by Public Benefits Funds to identify innovative and costeffective energy efficiency opportunities for the treatment facility, which had $25,459.56 in consultant and program staff costs in 2024.

Residential Programs
The City offers the following residential programs:
• Residential Heat Pump Rebates: The Electric Department offers rebates for residential and small business customers who install high performance heat pump HVAC systems and/or heat pump water heaters. Higher rebate amounts are available for replacing an existing natural gas appliance with an efficient electric heat pump. • Weatherization and Building Envelope Rebates: The Electric Department provides financial incentives for property owners who invest in home weatherization such as ceiling insulation, wall insulation, and efficient window replacement projects. • Laundry Rebates: The Electric Department offers incentives for high performance clothes washers to encourage energy efficiency and water conservation. Clothes dryer rebates are also offered to further encourage energy efficiency and electric clothes drying.
• Device Rebates: The Electric Department also provided rebates for variable speed pool pumps and smart thermostats. The smart thermostat rebate ended in late 2024 with the launch of the Home Energy Load Management program. However, smart thermostat rebates are still available for low-income customers who enroll their new thermostat in the load management program. The pool pump rebate will likely be discontinued in 2025 as well.
• Electric Stove: The Electric Department offers an electric stove/cooktop rebate to promote electric cooking in place of cooking with natural gas. To inform customers regarding electric cooktops, specifically induction cooktops, Healdsburg Electric also offers a free induction cooktop loaner for electric customers interested in cooking with electricity rather than natural gas. The loaner program includes pans compatible with induction cooktops.
• Multi-Family Income-Restricted Properties: The Electric Department continued development and implementation of an appliance replacement program for multifamily income-restricted properties. The program includes replacing old inefficient appliances with efficient electric appliances, starting with dishwashers and refrigerators.

Packet Pg. 49
Attachment: 2025 POU EE Report - Healdsburg Excerpt (4681 : Energy Efficiency Forecast and Programs) Energy Efficiency in California’s Public Power Sector — 2025 A-77 Of the 8 identified properties, 5 have completed a pre-assessment to verify equipment eligibility. It is the responsibility of the property manager to solicit appliance quotes and coordinate the installation, which has stalled program progress at the properties given the property managers’ multiple priorities and day-to-day property management demands. Healdsburg Electric collaborated with a local non-profit focused on Spanishspeaking outreach and support to apply for the Community Climate Implementation Fund grant. The non-profit, Corazon Healdsburg, was selected in early 2025 and will provide additional on-the-ground support to property managers to assist them in coordinating the appliance replacements and also support multi-family residents that may need help swapping their food and belongings during the appliance replacements.

During the program, the non-profit will also promote additional programs in which the property management or residents could participate.

Complementary Programs
The City offers the following complementary programs:
• Low-Income Programs: The City actively supports a low-income discount for incomequalified customers. This program was expanded during COVID to include customers with income at 80% or below area median income. Currently, this discount supports approximately 565 families, or about 11% of the City’s residential customers. Incomequalified customers receive 25% off their electric bill through this program. In 2024, electric bill discounts totaled $100,524.44 with staff administration and overhead costs of $68,998.36, totaling $169,522.80 for the program. The low-income bill discount is the primary program supported by Public Benefits Funds.
• Electric Vehicles: The City offers an EV Discount for residents who drive a battery electric vehicle and switch to the Time of Use rate. This program is no longer accepting new applications as of late 2024 and will officially end in June 2025. The new Home Energy Load Management program is replacing the EV Discount Program and provides better management of peak energy demands caused by EV charging. • Public EV Charging: Additionally, the City maintains 12 public charging stations with discounted charging rates located at City Hall. The user fee structure was updated in 2024 to better recover electric costs and discourage charging during evening peak hours. A 50% discount on the user fees is available for low-income customers.

Healdsburg Electric took ownership of 2 additional charging stations in a new development area in 2024 and is actively working to expand public charging opportunities. Healdsburg Electric also offers a commercial level 2 EV charger rebate to encourage workplace charging and charging during the day when abundant solar is available.
• Home Energy Load Management: Healdsburg Electric launched its Home Energy Load Management Program in late 2024 for managed EV charging and smart thermostat

Low-income EV owners that do not have a home charger can also qualify for an EV charger rebate, if they enroll the charger and EV in the load management program. • E-bikes: Healdsburg Electric offers an e-bike rebate for residents who purchase an e-bike to replace driving trips. This program provides various levels of rebates relative to customer income and purchase location to help offset the cost of purchasing an e-bike.

In 2023 and 2024, Healdsburg Electric also had coupons available for low-income customers to try the e-bike share program.
• Technical Consulting on all-electric construction: The City implemented a Reach Code in 2019, which was updated in 2022, that required electric space and water heating.

Although the Reach Code is no longer being enforced, the City still offers free technical consulting through a consultant engineering firm to support builders and contractors interested in all-electric construction.
• Green Rate: The Electric Department offers a voluntary opt-in 100% renewable electricity rate for an approximately $0.2 additional charge per kWh. Roughly 8% of the City’s electricity usage is attributed to customers enrolled in the Green Rate. All municipal accounts are on the Green Rate and make up the majority of this usage. • Renewable Energy Programs: The City continues to see PV solar array installations in both residential and commercial sectors. At the end of 2024, the City had interconnected a total of 6.87 MWac of solar capacity and 0.79 MW of battery capacity.

This includes the City's 3 MWac floating photovoltaic (FPV) system at the City’s Water Reclamation Facility. The system provides about 8% of community-wide annual electric needs. In 2024, the system generated 5,950 MWh directly into the City’s distribution system and offset roughly .6 MW of the City’s peak coincident demand. • Water Conservation: The City offers multiple water conservation programs, such as lawn conversion, low-flow toilets, irrigation controllers, and more. During the multi-year drought significantly impacting Healdsburg, the City had increased promotion of these rebates. Customers continued their water conservation in 2024 with an approximately 11% reduction in water consumption, compared to before the drought. Water conservation can help reduce the amount of electricity needed for treating and conveying water. Funding for water conservation programs is primarily funded by the City’s water department and regional conservation grants.

Major Differences or Diversions from CA POU TRM for Energy Savings In 2024, Healdsburg Electric predominately relied on the California eTRM streamlined values for savings calculations. Fuel substitution calculations provide the negative kWh savings and positive therm savings, which are converted to claim the total equivalent energy savings in kWh.

For measures without an offering option in the eTRM (such as electric resistance clothes dryer fuel substitution), Healdsburg Electric relied on actual equipment model information. Savings for the Commercial Lighting Program are calculated based on the actual equipment replaced and installed.

CITY OF HEALDSBURG

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 21, 2025
SUBJECT: Annual Water Supply and Demand Forecast
PREPARED BY: Terry Crowley, Utilities Director
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Receive a report regarding the status of the City's water supply and forecasted water demands through June 2027.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

No community engagement was sought for this item.

BACKGROUND:

With the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP), the Department of Water Resources (DWR) requires all Urban Water Suppliers to provide their governing boards with yearly water supply and demand updates. The annual update provides the current year’s forecasted water supply and customer demands along with an assumption that the following year will meet drought conditions and restricted water supplies. This information can help communities prepare for water shortages and plan to implement portions of their water supply contingency plans.

Healdsburg’s water supply and demand vary with yearly and seasonal changes. During the winter months water usage is low, and water supplies tend to be plentiful. However, due to summer irrigation demands, Healdsburg’s water usage nearly doubles at a time when our water supplies are the most restricted. This pattern of high summer demand and limited summer water supply creates imbalances between water demands and available water supplies. In future years, with the loss of the Potter Valley Project, these differences in water supply are expected to become more pronounced requiring the City to invest in new and more resilient water sources.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

At the end of March 2025, both Ukiah and Santa Rosa are reporting above average rainfall for the 2024-2025 rain season (114% and 135% respectively). Due to this above average rainfall, regional water supplies and storage levels are strong heading into the dry summer months. At

6.B
Packet Pg. 59
this time there are no indications that water restrictions or curtailments will be needed this summer. While rain and storage levels are above average, there remains a need to be mindful of water use and what future drought years may bring.

The chart below shows Healdsburg’s average water demands and forecasted demands for the fiscal year 2025-26. The average water demands are based upon water produced by the City’s usage during calendar years 2017, 2018, and 2019 (pre-COVID years that are considered “normal” for customer usage). These demands include water system losses, due to leaks and system operations (e.g. flushing of water mains) necessary to provide safe drinking water. The average water usage of 2017, 2018 and 2019 has been reduced by roughly 5% to the predicted 2025-26 water usage. Long-lasting conservation measures, such as lawn conversions and appliance replacements, are helping Healdsburg remain below historic usage numbers.

Healdsburg’s average water demand significantly increases during irrigation months at the same time water supplies are the most constrained. The uppermost line on the graph below indicates the City’s water supplies under normal conditions (full water rights and access to contracted water from Sonoma Water). Under normal conditions the City’s water supply is adequate for current needs and future growth, during years of below average rainfall or prolonged drought there remains a need for conservation.

Fiscal year 2025-26 forecasted water demands (red line) in comparison to available water supplies (blue line).

Healdsburg’s summertime water usage is expected to fall roughly five percent below the 2017- 2019 average due to long-lasting conservation measures achieved during the past several years.

Based upon this forecast, the City’s water supply for fiscal year 2025-26 is sufficient to meet expected customer demand.

6.B
Packet Pg. 60
Per the 2020 UWMP, the Board requires urban water suppliers to further predict water supplies and demands under a single dry-year (drought) condition. For the single-dry year criteria, Healdsburg’s planning criteria are the recent drought years of 2014, 2015, 2021, and 2022. For a conservative approach, City staff assumes 2021 conditions represent the worst-case scenario for a single dry year. During 2021, the City lost the use of all permitted water rights. This left Healdsburg with only a Human Health and Safety (HH&S) exemption to pull water from the Russian River and Dry Creek. Under a petition filed with the Board, Healdsburg requested a total HH&S water limit of 112 gallons per capita day (GPCD). This limit represents the combined needs of both residents, businesses, and institutional needs throughout Healdsburg. This number also represents a roughly 50% decrease in water usage during the summer months.

FY2026-27 forecasted water supplies during a dry-year (blue line) and consumer demands with conservation (red line). Both summertime supply and customer demands assume operating at the minimum limits of Human Health & Safety needs.

To achieve a 50% reduction in water usage the City would need to implement Stage 5 of the current water shortage contingency plan early in the irrigation season. Stage-5 significantly restricts outdoor water usage, initiates water budgets for residential customers, and delays certain types of development. The single dry-year graph shows forecasted water supplies and demands starting July 2026 and running through June of 2027. The demand reduction shown is very similar to summer 2021 water conservation efforts. Again, the dry-year forecast is a planning exercise and not what is expected.

City staff continue to develop alternate water supplies that are not immediately impacted by lowrain years. These projects include aquifer storage and recovery wells (ASR) and the now complete municipal recycled water pipeline. The recycled water pipeline offsets roughly 25-

6.B
Packet Pg. 61
million gallons of potable water and provides a more stable supply of irrigation water for City parks and recreation areas. Additionally, the City was awarded a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant for the completion of phase 1 of the ASR wells. Under this grant award City Staff are pursuing options to construct test wells to prove the presents of suitable drinking water, and the ability to both store and recover water placed into these isolated aquifers. In addition to the development of long-term water supply projects, the City will also need continued efforts to implement efficient landscape irrigation.

As part of the most recent water and wastewater rate study, City staff continue to work toward re-establishing pumping capacity along Dry Creek such that the City can better access water stored within Lake Sonoma. Unlike Lake Mendocino, which typically has a single year of water storage, Lake Sonoma has multiple years of water storage and therefore provides a more stable source of water during periodic droughts. With the loss of the Potter Valley Project, Lake Sonoma will also provide an alternative source of water during dry years and years of low storage within Lake Mendocino. Since this supply of water has not been contracted and the pump facilities are yet to be restored, this future supply is not included in the annual outlook. When these two efforts (contracted water and increased pumping capacity) are complete, water supplies during single dry-year scenarios will see measurable improvements.

There is no recommended action with this staff report. Staff are providing this information to meet regulatory requirements and inform the City Council of the current water supplies and demands as well as providing predictions of what a dry year may require in conservation.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

The annual water supply and demand update increases the City Council and Community’s awareness of a finite natural resource. A better understating in this ultimately leads to improved management of our region’s water supply.

ALTERNATIVES:

There are no actions requested, or alternatives provided with this staff report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact directly associated with this staff report. Continued conservation and development of new water supplies will create a fiscal impact on Healdsburg’s Water Department. Conservation will lower fiscal year revenues and additional projects will increase capital costs as well as ongoing operational costs. Conservation efforts like lawn conversions that have lasting impacts will help lessen the need to develop new water supplies and may help reduce total fiscal impacts by reducing the scale of new projects required to support increased water demands.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The receipt and review of annual water supply and demand forecasts is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because informational items are not a project since they are not a discretionary action by a governmental agency and will not have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect impact on the environment.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 21, 2025
SUBJECT: 24/25 Sidewalk Repair and Gap Closure Project Bid Award PREPARED BY: Clay Thistle, Senior Engineer
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Adopt a Resolution conditionally awarding the 24/25 Sidewalk Repair and Gap Closure Project to AGD General Engineering Inc. in the amount of $88,645, authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract; authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and approve contract change orders up to 20% of the original contract amount.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

The Project was advertised for public bidding in the Santa Rosa Press Democrat and on the City’s website.

Prior to beginning construction, advance notices will be provided to adjacent properties. They will be advised of potential impacts, parking restrictions, and the planned work duration. The City project manager’s direct contact information will be provided for additional information and for any concerns that arise during the construction process.

BACKGROUND:

Public Work staff collects and maintains a list of sidewalks, curb and gutter and other concrete within the public right-of-way needing repair. Where vertical offsets occur, they can typically be repaired through a horizontal saw-cutting contract performed on a periodic basis. Certain locations that are not able to be cut and must be replaced. This project will repair seventeen of these locations. The repairs are often needed due to tree roots and subsurface soil movement.

On February 27, 2025, and March 4, 2025 the 24/25 Sidewalk Repair and Gap Closure Project was advertised and bids opened on March 27, 2025.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

A notice inviting bids was advertised in accordance with all applicable procedures, and the City

6.C
Packet Pg. 63
received six bids. The lowest apparent and responsive bid was from AGD General Engineering Inc. in the amount of $88,645. The other bids received ranged from the apparent second lowest bid of $92,000 to the highest bid of $163,884. The lowest bid was lower than the engineer’s estimate of $126,450 by approximately 30%. This can be attributed to a competitive bidding climate evidenced by the number of bids received.

Staff recommends a 20% contingency to cover unforeseen conditions for a total project budget of $106,374. A contingency beyond the standard 15% is recommended due to the numerous locations and potential variability of field conditions when conforming to existing conditions.

The bid from AGD General Engineering Inc. satisfies the bidding requirements for the project as described in the bid instructions. There are no irregularities with the bid and no protests to the bid have been filed as of the time of this report. Staff has verified that AGD General Engineering Inc. possesses the required license and is otherwise qualified to complete the project.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Recycling will be used to divert much of the construction waste from landfill. Concrete and asphalt removed will be delivered to local recyclers for reuse in new paving and concrete products.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose not to award the project and reject all bids. However, in that case, the TDA3 funds would lapse and need to be reapplied for, resulting in the necessary repairs going unfixed.

FISCAL IMPACT:

On June 28, 2023, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) approved allocation(s) of Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds to the City of Healdsburg for FY-2023-24 in the amount of $125,000.

The Adopted Budget included the FY 23-24 Sidewalk Repair and Gap Closure Project ST012 funded by $125,000 in Transportation Development Act Article 3 (TDA) funding and $4,394 in Measure T funding for a total project budget of $129,394. Due to staff constraints this project was carried forward into the current fiscal year and bid as the FY 24-25 Sidewalk Repair and Gap Closure Project. Eligible cost to be reimbursed by the TDA funding must be incurred before June 30, 2026 and drawn by September 30, 2026.

The proposed contract is for $88,645 with an additional 20% contingency authorized for unforeseen conditions and potential additional costs bringing the total construction amount to $106,374. There are sufficient appropriations remaining in the Adopted Budget after design costs to support the proposed contract and additional staff time to administer the project.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The proposed 24/25 Sidewalk Repair and Gap Closure Project involves the repair and maintenance of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use therefore is exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines 15302(c).

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 21, 2025
SUBJECT: Saggio Hills Affordable Housing First Amendment to the Disposition and Development Agreement
PREPARED BY: Griselda Villarreal, Administrative Analyst II STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Expand Affordable Housing Opportunities
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Adopt a Resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute and enter into the first amendment to the Disposition and Development Agreement by and between the City of Healdsburg, Freebird Development Company, LLC, Saggio Hills Lot 14, L.P., and Saggio Hills Lot 3, L.P., for the Saggio Hills Affordable Housing Project at 450 Parkland Farms Boulevard and amending the Adopted Budget.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

The City of Healdsburg ("City") and Freebird Development Company, LLC ("Project Wide Developer") have engaged in community outreach efforts related to future development of the affordable housing project on approximately 12.4 acres of land ("Affordable Housing Land") within the Saggio Hills Project site. Members of the public participated in the City Council's evaluation of developers in late 2020 and selection of the Developer and the approval of an Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement ("ENA") effective February 16, 2021, as well as during public hearings before the Planning Commission on November 8, 2022, related to design review (“DR 2022-05”) and tentative subdivision map (“TM 2022-02”) applications; thereafter, on April 3, 2023, the City Council approved TM 2022-02 and the Disposition and Development Agreement. A public hearing for the final map was held on April 7, 2025, providing an additional opportunity for community input as part of the application process.

BACKGROUND:

On April 3, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 41-2023, approving the Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA") between City of Healdsburg and Freebird Development Company, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Project Wide Developer"), for the Saggio Hills Affordable Housing Project ("Project"). The Project will include the development of up to 118 affordable housing units in four (4) phases, the preservation of open space, outdoor

6.D
Packet Pg. 69
amenities for residents, a community building, publicly accessible trails and public infrastructure improvements.

On April 17, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1228, thereby approving the Development Agreement (“DA”) between the City and Project Wide Developer, which became effective thirty (30) days thereafter on May 17, 2023. The DA was recorded in the Official Records of Sonoma County on June 2, 2023, as Instrument No. 2023024652.

On April 21, 2023, the City and Project Wide Developer executed the DDA, which became effective on May 17, 2023, simultaneously with the effectiveness of the DA.

Effective as of February 1, 2024, pursuant to the Partial Assignment and Assumption of DA and DDA, executed by and between the City, Project Wide Developer, and Saggio Hills Lot 14, L.P., a California limited partnership (“Phase 1 Developer”), the Project Wide Developer assigned to Phase 1 Developer, and Phase 1 Developer assumed from Project Wide Developer, all rights, title, interest, and obligations under the DDA and DA related to the development of the Phase 1 Project on the Phase 1 Parcels (the “Phase 1 Assignment”).

The Phase 1 Project is comprised generally of 48 Rental Affordable Housing Units on Lot 14 (47 units deed-restricted for affordable housing for at least 55 years, and one unit designated for the manager), an approximately 3,067 square foot community building with associated hardscape and landscape improvements on Lot 2, public improvements comprised generally of sidewalks and streetlights along Passalacqua Drive and Parkland Farms Boulevard, installation of a rectangular rapid flashing beacon at a crossing of Parkland Farms Boulevard between Parcel B and Lot 2, and publicly accessible open space areas enhanced with pedestrian trails on Parcel A.

On September 1, 2024, in accordance with the Partial Assignment and Assumption of DA and DDA, executed by and between the City, Project Wide Developer, and Saggio Hills Lot 3, L.P., a California limited partnership (“Phase 2 Developer”), the Project Wide Developer assigned to Phase 2 Developer, and Phase 2 Developer assumed from Project Wide Developer, all right, title, interest, and obligations under the DDA and DA related to the development of Project Phase 2 on the Phase 2 Parcels (the “Phase 2 Assignment”). The Phase 2 Project is comprised generally of 42 Rental Affordable Housing Units on Lot 3 and outdoor amenities such as community gardens, picnic areas or a small farm on Lot 1.

On April 7, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 23-2025, approving the Saggio Hills Affordable Housing Final Map (the “Final Map”) for the subdivision of the Property, creating Parcel A and B, and Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, and 15, in conformance with TM 2022-02 and as contemplated by the DA and DDA.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The DDA sets forth the terms and conditions relating to: i) the disposition of Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, and 15 and Parcel A of the Final Map from the City to Project Wide Developer in four phases - Parcel B is being retained by the City for open space purposes; (ii) the development and maintenance of the Project Improvements constructed in each phase by Project Wide Developer; and (iii) the imposition of covenants running with the land to ensure the long-term affordability

6.D
Packet Pg. 70
of the Affordable Units constructed in each phase of the Project.

In accordance with its obligations under the terms of the DDA, the Phase 1 Developer has secured substantially all the necessary financing to develop and construct the Phase 1 Project.

Close of escrow for the transfer of fee title to the Phase 1 Parcels from the City to Phase 1 Developer, as well as all of the construction financing required for the Phase 1 Project, is scheduled for May 14, 2025, with construction anticipated to commence shortly thereafter.

As Saggio Hills nears the finish line for the first phase of the Saggio Hills Affordable Housing Project and, as is common for affordable housing developments with varied sources of financing, there is a need to amend the DDA to facilitate the transaction or to correct overlooked items. In this instance staff is recommending the DDA be amended to address an overlooked aspect governing Pre-Approved Transfers, and to increase the amount of the Public Improvement Loan.

Further, the lenders involved in this first phase have also identified a few matters they would like to have addressed to clarify their obligations; accordingly, Sections 209.3 and 1019 of the Agreement is amended to clarify that a successor owner acquiring title to a Project Phase through a foreclosure proceeding is not responsible for indemnification obligations set forth in Sections 209.3 and 1019 accruing prior to the date of acquiring title through foreclosure; Section 611.3 of the Agreement is amended to provide that notices regarding a default by a developer of a Project Phase be provided to the investors of a Project Phase so that they may be able to cure the default if the developer of the Project Phase does not; and a new Section 909 be added to the Agreement to clarify that upon the close of escrow for a Project Phase, that the owners of said Project Phase will not have any liability for any other Project Phase.

Pre-Approved Transfers
Section 103 of the DDA addresses the issue of transfers or assignments of rights under the DDA by the Project Wide Developer to another entity. Generally speaking, until a certificate of completion is issued for a project phase, any transfer or assignment of an interest under the DDA requires the City’s prior approval. However, section 103.3 contains a list of Pre-Approved Transfers that do not necessitate the City’s prior approval, such as the granting of an easement to facilitate construction of the project or securing a mortgage to finance construction of the project, among other exceptions. One form of transfer that always occurs in tax credit financing, which is the primary source of financing for affordable housing, involves the transfer of limited partner interests to a tax credit investor; further, the nature of tax credit transactions are such that the tax credit investor never gets admitted until the day of closing. So, this is an issue that recently arose as a result of the last rounds of due diligence for the Phase 1 Closing. Accordingly, to facilitate the Phase 1 Closing, staff is recommending to amend Section 103.3 of the DDA to add subsection (h) thereto as follows:
(h) The admission of limited partners to the Developer’s limited partnership in connection with tax credit financing as part of a Phased Closing, and any subsequent transfer of such limited partnership interests, including any transfer of stock or equity in the limited partners that does not change management or operational control of the Project.

Section 103.3 has general application to all of the Phased Closings and thus, since the DDA has

6.D
Packet Pg. 71
been partially assigned to the Phase 2 Developer pursuant to the terms of the Phase 2 Assignment, that is why the Phase 2 Developer is also a signatory to this First Amendment even though we do not have an anticipated date for the Phase 2 Closing.

Public Improvement Loan
Section 802 of the DDA provides for an interest free loan of $1,151,170, due and payable in 55 years, for costs associated with the construction of public infrastructure and publicly accessible open space areas enhanced with pedestrian trails on Parcel A (“Public Improvement Loan”). The Public Improvement Loan of $1,151,170, funded by monies received from Sonoma Luxury Resorts as the Saggio Hills developer upon the conveyance of the affordable housing land to the City, will be evidenced by a promissory note (Attachment No. 14 to DDA) and secured by a deed of trust.

In order to ensure necessary funding for construction of the Phase 1 Project, city staff is recommending that the City Council authorize an increase in the amount of the Public Improvement Loan by an additional one million dollars (“$1,000,000”), raising the total sum of the Public Improvement Loan amount to two million one hundred fifty-one thousand one hundred seventy dollars (“$2,151,170”). The additional sum of $1,000,000 will be funded with Measure S revenues, the 2016 hotel tax dedicated to affordable housing services and programs.

This $1,000,000 portion of the Public Improvement Loan will bear interest at the rate of 3% per annum, with annual payments based on available residual receipts, and otherwise due and payable in 55 years. Because of the different loan terms and source of funding, this $1,000,000 portion of the Public Improvement Loan will be evidenced by a separate residual receipts promissory note (Attachment No. 16 to DDA) and secured by the same deed of trust.

Close of Escrow
As previously noted, the close of escrow for the transfer of the Phase 1 Parcels (Parcel A, Lot 2 and Lot 14) from the City to Phase 1 Developer, is scheduled for May 14, 2025, with construction anticipated to commence shortly thereafter. By entering into the First Amendment to the DDA, the City will facilitate the admission of the tax credit investor, a critical and necessary component of the financing required for the Phase 1 Project, and the financing of the public improvements associated with Phase 1, supporting the development of necessary infrastructure and public amenities, and ensuring the Phase 1 Project progresses in a timely and effective manner.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

The Saggio Hills Affordable Housing Project underwent an environmental review as part of the tentative map approval process. Additionally, an environmental impact report (“Saggio Hills Project EIR”) was prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Res.

Code 21000, et seq.) (“CEQA”), (State Clearinghouse No. 2003062025), which analyzed the environmental impacts of development of the Saggio Hills Project. The Saggio Hills Project EIR was certified by the City Council on January 31, 2011, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program was adopted by Resolution No. 15-2011. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15164, the City prepared an Environmental Checklist & Addendum to the Saggio Hills Project EIR, dated September 2022 ("Addendum"). This document can be found in the Planning Department's files for the Project at Healdsburg City Hall, Community Development Center, 401

Grove Street, Healdsburg, CA.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Recommended actions: Adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute and enter into the First Amendment to the Disposition and Development Agreement by and between the City, Project Wide Developer, Phase 1 Developer, and Phase 2 Developer and thereby amend Section 103.3 of the DDA related to Pre-Approved Transfers and Section 802 of the DDA regarding the Public Improvement Loan for the Phase 1 Project.

2. Incorporate specific modifications into the resolution prior to taking Council action.

3. The Council may choose not to adopt the resolution to approve the execution and entry into the First Amendment to the DDA, which could delay or impact the close of escrow for the Project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The financial implications of this project are outlined below, highlighting the loan terms, funding structure, and anticipated revenue for the City, in accordance with the terms of the two (2) separate Promissory Notes. The initial loan of $1,151,170 (the “Initial Loan”) was approved by council on 04/03/2023 and the promissory note was included as Attachment No. 14 to the DDA.

The Promissory Note included with this report as Attachment No. 16 to the DDA is for the additional loan of $1,000,000 being authorized by this First Amendment to DDA (the “Additional Loan”).
• Initial Loan: The City of Healdsburg is providing an Initial Loan of $1,151,170 to the Phase 1 Developer, Saggio Hills Lot 14, L.P., interest free. The total principal amount of $1,151,170 is due and payable on the 55th anniversary of the date the Certificate of Completion is recorded for the project site.
• Additional Loan: The City of Healdsburg is providing an additional loan as provided by the First Amendment to the DDA of $1,000,000 to Phase 1 Developer. This additional loan amount will accrue 3% simple annual interest on the outstanding principal balance.

The outstanding principal amount is due and payable on the 55th anniversary of the date the Certificate of Completion is recorded for the project site. • Payment Structure: There are no payments required on the Initial Loan of $1,151,170, other than when the entire amount is due and payable on the 55th anniversary of the date of the Certificate of Completion noted above. Annual payments toward principal and interest on the additional loan of $1,000,000 are based on a residual receipt’s method, with the Borrower paying the City a proportional share of 50% of all Surplus Cash (amount by which Gross Revenue exceeds Annual Operating Expenses for the project), generated by the project. Payments are first applied to late charges, fees, and accrued interest, with any remaining amounts applied to the principal. Again, all outstanding principal and interest is due and payable on the 55th anniversary of the date of the Certificate of Completion.
• Security: The total amount of the Public Improvement Loan of $2,151,170, as evidenced by two (2) separate Promissory Notes attached as Attachment No. 14 to the DDA for the

6.D
Packet Pg. 73
initial loan of $1,151,170 (the “Initial Loan”), and as Attachment No. 16 to the DDA for the additional loan of $1,000,000 (the “Additional Loan”) is secured by a Deed of Trust executed by the Borrower, which will encumber the Phase 1 Parcels described in the agreement. This provides the City with security interests in the property.

The Initial Loan of $1,151,170 is intended to support the completion of deferred public improvements required in the Development Agreement for the Saggio Hills Project. The Initial Loan is funded by monies received from Sonoma Luxury Resorts as the Saggio Hills developer upon the conveyance of the affordable housing land to the City. The additional loan of $1,000,000 is intended to close the remaining funding gap for the Phase 1 Project of the Saggio Hills Affordable Housing Project and is proposed to be funded by the Measure S Affordable Housing Fund. Staff propose amending the Fiscal Year 24-25 budget to increase appropriations in the Measure S Affordable Housing Fund by $1,000,000 for the additional loan disbursement.

Additionally, in compliance with the DDA, the Developer has established a deposit account with the City to cover consultant costs related to the implementation of the agreement. As a result, the costs incurred by the City Attorney for preparing and reviewing the proposed documents have been deducted from the developer’s deposit account.

Annual payments toward principal and interest accrued on this Note shall be payable on a residual receipts basis with the Proportional Share of fifty percent (50%) of all Surplus Cash (defined below) payable to City as described below. Payments shall be credited first to any unpaid late charges and other costs and fees then due, then to accrued interest, and then to principal. In no event shall any amount due under this Note become subject to any rights, offset, deduction or counterclaim on the part of Borrower. The entire outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with interest accrued thereon and all other sums accrued hereunder shall be payable in full on the date (the “Maturity Date”) which is the fifty-fifth (55th) anniversary of the date upon which the Certificate of Completion is recorded against the Site pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Regulatory Agreement.

1.2 ANNUAL PAYMENTS FROM SURPLUS CASH. By not later than October 1 of each year following the year of the City’s recording of the Certificate of Completion against the Site, Borrower shall pay to City its Proportional Share, reflected as a percentage as defined herein, of all Surplus Cash generated by the Project during the previous calendar year to reduce the indebtedness owed under this Note. “Proportional Share” shall mean the percentage arrived at by dividing the principal amount of this Note by the sum of the principal amount of this Note plus the principal amount of all other loans extended to Borrower by City, State of California Department of Housing and Community Development, and the County of Sonoma for the Project.

The annual report shall include an accounting of deposits to and withdrawals from the Project replacement, operating, and other reserves. City shall have the right to inspect and audit Borrower’s books and records concerning the calculation of Surplus Cash, and to object within sixty (60) days from receipt of Borrower's report. Failure to timely object shall be deemed acceptance of the report. If City does object, City shall specify the reasons for its disapproval, and Borrower shall have thirty (30) days to reconcile any disapproved item. If Borrower and City cannot agree on the amount of Surplus Cash, an independent auditor mutually selected by Borrower and City shall resolve any disputed items. The cost of the auditor shall be paid by Borrower.

No later than November 1 of each year following City’s recording of the Certificate of Completion against the Site, Borrower shall provide to City a proposed budget for the following calendar year which shall include an estimate of Surplus Cash. City will review the proposed budget and, if acceptable, approve it, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however, if the proposed budget has not been rejected by City within 30 days of receipt, City shall be deemed to have accepted the budget.

Neither the failure nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Note will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege by City will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, notices of dishonor and of protest and all defenses and pleas on the grounds of any extension or extensions of the time of payment or of any due date under this Note, in whole or in part, whether before or after maturity and with or without notice.

3.2 Borrower’s limited partner(s) shall have the right to cure any default of Borrower hereunder upon the same terms and conditions afforded to Borrower.

(C) be deemed in any way to impair the right of the City to assert the unpaid principal amount of the Loan as a demand for money within the meaning of Section 431.70 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any successor provision thereto; (D) constitute a waiver of any right which City may have under any bankruptcy law to file a claim for the full amount of the indebtedness owed to City hereunder or to require that the Project and the Property shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owed to City hereunder in accordance with this Note and the Deed of Trust; or
(E) limit or restrict the ability of City to seek or obtain a judgment against Borrower to:

In response to Councilmember Kelley’s inquiry, Director Duiven clarified additional studies could be within the $200,000 cost range and noted CEQA analysis would assist with knowing which additional studies would be needed.

Director Duiven further reviewed detailed information on a Specific Plan, covering its definition, key components, benefits, and its application to the Central Healdsburg Avenue Plan and South Entry Area and outlined the proposed timeline and costs.

In response to Council’s inquiries, Director Duiven provided insights into a potential community engagement process, clarified that no density changes are being proposed with Measure O and noted that in addition to the City identifying properties for higher density under the housing overlay, residents would have the opportunity to propose properties for consideration.

Additionally, Director Duiven noted the South Entry Area requires the addition of water, sewer and electric utilities before any construction can occur and elaborated on the process that would need to happen including funding for a South Entry Area Plan, funding to get utilities to the South Entry Area before any housing can be built and the length of time all of that may take.

Director Duiven further provided information on Housing Overlay Zones, how they could be applied to various zones, emphasized that the overlay is specifically designed to address residential housing needs, not commercial development. Director Duiven further reviewed incentives available to Developers, clarified that the housing capacity study recommends density levels that can be supported while preserving the character of Healdsburg and noted that there is room for flexibility in densities with the Housing Overlay.

Public Comment
Brigette Mansell expressed a desire to see more affordable-by-design housing in Healdsburg, acknowledged the importance of having a clear plan, and commented that people won’t support Measure O without one and voiced concerns about the City moving too quickly in its efforts.

Mark Horne expressed interest in MTC's transient community standards, stressing that the City should act on this opportunity and noted that prioritizing the CHAP amendment first could help secure that funding.

Jonathan Pearlman acknowledged that this discussion encourages developers to focus on middleclass housing, urged Council to consider the next generation in planning for the future, clarified that the focus should be on middle-class housing, not affordable housing, and encouraged greater resident participation in the process.

Merrilyn Joyce expressed concerns about the South Entry Area potentially taking away valuable manufacturing land, farming space, and wetlands if residential development were to occur, suggested exploring modular homes and the possibility of subdividing existing residential lots and stressed the need for a solid plan to ensure Measure O passes.

Hank Skewis commented on the PowerPoint slides, noted that transit was not included, commented on the importance of addressing how residents will get around, voiced concerns

about Measure O and expressed a desire to see the focus be on mixed housing, as middle-income housing might not meet the needs of all residents.

Council Comments

Councilmember Kelley reflected on the area around the future SMART station and OBAG funding and provided information on how we get future projects funded.

BACKGROUND:

On October 3, 2024, the City received a letter from a potential plaintiffs’ attorney, Shenkman & Hughes PC, alleging a violation of the CVRA and threatening litigation unless the City voluntarily transitions to a district-based election system for electing Councilmembers. On November 18, 2024, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring the intent to transition to District-Based elections. Elections Code section 10010(e)(3)(B) and (C) provides that if a legislative body adopts a resolution of intent, a prospective plaintiff may not commence an action within ninety (90) days of the resolution of intention’s passage unless that date is extended in writing by the parties. In this case, the prospective plaintiff’s attorney agreed to allow the City of Healdsburg a sixty (60) day extension and the initial Tentative Timeline submitted to the Council identified April 17, 2025 as the deadline for the transition. Since then, Staff confirmed with the prospective plaintiff’s attorney that an additional thirty (30) day extension is acceptable and thus the new deadline to complete the transition to district based elections is by May 17, 2025.

The City conducted the initial two public hearings on December 16, 2024 and January 6, 2025.

At the first and second public hearings, the Council received a report from the City’s demographer, Redistricting Partners, about the basics of the districting process and identifying communities of interest. The video and presentation from the first and second meeting can be found on the City’s dedicated redistricting webpage which can be found here:
https://healdsburg.gov/1152/Transition-to-District-Elections.

Upon completion of the first and second public hearings, the City was required to hold at least two additional hearings over a period of no more than 45 days, at which the public was invited to provide input regarding the content of the draft maps and the proposed sequence of elections.

The City held the third public hearing on February 18th at which both the public and the City Council provided feedback on the draft maps. Members of the public had the opportunity to submit maps with four, five or six districts over the course of the last ten weeks.

At the fourth public hearing on March 17, 2025, the community and the City Council considered the draft maps moved forward from the third public hearing, as well as the community-submitted

7.A
Packet Pg. 119
maps. All of the maps are available on the City’s website:
https://healdsburg.gov/1152/Transition-to-District-Elections. The maps that have been submitted by members of the public through the City’s “Districtr” mapping tool are identified by a numerical identification number (e.g., ID 277459),” and the maps that have been prepared by Redistricting Partners are identified by a letter (e.g., Draft Map A).

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

On April 7, 2025, the City Council held a fifth public hearing where they considered Draft Map A as the basis for an ordinance. Following discussion, the Council elected not to approve Draft Map A and instead selected Draft Map D as the foundation for the ordinance.

A summary of Draft Map D moved forward at the April 7th public hearing is provided below:
• Maximum Population Deviation Between Districts: 6.3%
• Based on public map ID 278352
o City Council and demographer edited map in public meeting #3 (2.18.25) • Map meets all FAIR MAPS Act requirements
o Balanced Population
o Contiguous
o Maintain Communities of Interest
o Follows main roads and man-made boundaries, such as the railroad tracks o Compact
• Communities discussed and maintained:
o Cohesive along the river community in the south of the City o Matheson Street Historic District remains together
o Similar community north of South Fitch Mountain Road kept together ▪ Older homes with larger lots
▪ Higher risk of fire
o District 1 maintains similar communities
▪ Renters/apartment complexes
▪ East of railroad tracks
▪ Establishes an influence district for Latino voters
o March Avenue and Fitch Mountain Villas neighborhoods remain together Within 21 days of adopting final election district boundaries, the City Council will be required to issue a report that explains the basis on which it made its decisions in achieving compliance with the requirements and criteria of the Fair Maps Act, including, as to each neighborhood, community of interest, city, or census designated place that was split into two or more districts, the reason for that split.

Redistricting Partners has prepared a FAIR MAPS Act Assessment (“Assessment”) of the maps submitted by members of the public. This Assessment analyzed all of the ranked list of criteria pursuant to the FAIR MAPS Act in the order required (i.e., population size deviation is under 10%, contiguous, maintains “communities of interest”, easily identifiable and understandable lines, compact, etc.). However, as indicated in the Assessment, Redistricting Partners can assess all criteria objectively except for “maintaining communities of interest”. That particular criterion

7.A
Packet Pg. 120
is subjective by definition and should be discussed by the City Council and public at this meeting to determine how well the draft maps fulfil this criterion.

Between the fifth and sixth public hearings, the City received zero additional maps.

At this sixth public hearing, the public may provide input regarding the published maps for consideration.

Proposed Ordinance
If the Council elects to finalize the selection of a map at April 21st meeting, does not make any further revisions to the selected map, or selects a new map entirely, the City Council can then proceed with selecting the two district seats that will be up for election in 2026 and the three district seats that will be up for election in 2028. Once the map and the sequencing are selected, the Council can proceed with the introduction of the proposed Ordinance.

The proposed Ordinance would amend Article 1 (General Provisions) within Chapter 2.40 (Elections) of Title 2 (Administration and Personnel) to add a new section 2.40.010.01 “District Elections” within the Municipal Code. The proposed Ordinance would provide for the election of Councilmembers by establishing five districts and identify the district boundaries by including the map selected by the Council in the ordinance. The proposed Ordinance would also specify that the commencement of the district elections shall be in the next general municipal election in 2026 and provide for two seats being elected in 2026 and three seats in 2028 to ensure all incoming and currently seated Councilmembers’ do not have shortened terms. Finally, the Proposed Ordinance authorizes Redistricting Partners to make non-substantive, technical adjustments to the map as necessary to prepare a GIS shapefile, which will be submitted to the County of Sonoma by the City Clerk.

Sequence of Elections
The initial proposed sequencing for draft maps is even-numbered districts in 2026 and odd districts in 2028. To align the election cycles staff is proposing to renumber the districts. (Attached as “Draft D Staff Recommended Sequencing”) Under the proposed renumbering, Districts 2 and 4 would transition to District Elections in 2026 and 1, 3 and 5 in 2028.

Request for Direction and Next Steps
At the April 21, 2025 public hearing, Council will be considering Draft Map D, the introduction of an ordinance, the sequence of elections as well as any community-submitted maps that the City Council wishes to review.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Not applicable.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose not to move adopting Draft Map D. If this alternative is selected, staff requests further direction in terms of additional analysis requested or an alternative map to include in an ordinance for consideration at a future public hearing (most likely on May 5).

7.A
Packet Pg. 121
Staff confirmed with the prospective plaintiff’s attorney that an additional thirty (30) day extension is acceptable but the City would need to adopt the ordinance by May 17, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is a fiscal impact due to the costs associated with the transition to District-based elections.

Costs include the demographer, which are estimated to be less than $50,000, legal costs, and payment of the plaintiffs’ attorney costs of $30,000. The City Council appropriated a total of $100,000 for this effort at a prior meeting
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This item does not constitute a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code § 21000, et seq.) (CEQA) as the adoption of the resolution does not have the potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378).

WHEREAS, members of the City Council are currently elected in “at-large” elections, in which each City Councilmember is elected by the registered voters of the entire City; and WHEREAS, California Government Code section 34886, in certain circumstances, authorizes the legislative body of a city of any population to adopt an ordinance to change its method of election from an “at-large” system to a “district-based” system in which each councilmember is elected only by the voters in the district in which the candidate resides; and WHEREAS, on October 3, 2024, the City of Healdsburg (“City”) received a certified letter from a potential plaintiffs’ attorney, alleging a violation of the California Voting Rights Act (the “CVRA”) and threatening litigation if the City declines to voluntarily change to a district-based election system for electing Councilmembers; and
WHEREAS, while the City Council denies that the City’s at large election system violates the CVRA or any other provision of law, the City Council determined that the public interest is better served by initiating a process for transition to a district-based election system and thereby avoiding the high costs associated with defending a lawsuit under the CVRA; and WHEREAS, California Government Code section 34886 permits the City Council of any city to change the City’s method of election by ordinance to a “by-district” system in which each member of the City Council is elected only by the voters in the district in which the candidate resides; and
WHEREAS, Elections Code Section 10010 provides a method whereby a jurisdiction can expeditiously transition to a district-based election system and thereby avoid the high cost of litigation under the CVRA if the jurisdiction complied with the “safe harbor” provisions of Elections Code Section 10010; and
WHEREAS, under the provisions of California Elections Code section 10010(a)(1), a city that changes from an at-large city council method of election to a by-district city council method of election is required to hold at least two public hearings over a period of not more than 30 days,

The following map was submitted by March 31, 2025 and can be considered during the April 7 public hearing Under the FAIR MAPS Act, the City of Healdsburg is required to follow a ranked list of criteria in their districting process:
• Relatively equal in population size – total deviation is under 10% • Contiguous
• Maintains “communities of interest”
• Easily identifiable and understandable lines, following city, natural, and man-made boundaries
• Compact
As demographers, we can assess all criteria objectively except for “maintaining communities of interest.” This particular criterion is subjective by definition and should be discussed by the public and the City Council to determine how well these maps fulfil this criterion.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 21, 2025
SUBJECT: An Ordinance Designating Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the Local Responsibility Area
PREPARED BY: Lance MacDonald, Fire Marshal/Division Chief 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 designating fire hazard severity zones in the Local Responsibility Area (LRA).

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

The Fire Hazard Severity Zone map was posted for public review and comment as required by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). The City made the proposed map available through its website and city offices to ensure transparency and community awareness.

BACKGROUND:

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) periodically updates Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps based on current science and fire modeling. These updates reflect changes in vegetation, topography, weather patterns, and fire behavior and are used to identify areas at significant risk for wildland fires. The new Local Responsibility Area map for the City of Healdsburg was finalized and released by CAL FIRE on February 24, 2025.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

CAL FIRE’s updated Fire Hazard Severity Zone map identifies areas within the City of Healdsburg that are subject to heightened wildfire risk. Adoption of the map by ordinance allows the City to align with State fire prevention policies and ensure the enforcement of defensible space regulations and other risk-reduction strategies. Adopting this ordinance also maintains the City's eligibility for related fire prevention grants and resources.

9.A
Packet Pg. 178
Existing Law:

Pursuant to Government Code Sections 51175–51189 and Public Resources Code Sections 4201–4204, jurisdictions are required to adopt the CAL FIRE-recommended Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps and implement enforcement mechanisms to mitigate fire risk in designated areas.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

This ordinance promotes wildfire resilience and community safety by enabling proactive vegetation management and fire mitigation strategies in high-risk areas.

ALTERNATIVES:

City Council may direct staff to return with alternative language or defer adoption; however, non-adoption within 120 days may result in non-compliance with the State mandate.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact resulting from this ordinance adoption.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This administrative action does not constitute a project as defined in Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines and is therefore exempt.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 21, 2025
SUBJECT: 2025 Sewer System Management Plan Audit and Findings 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):

Receive the 2025 Sewer System Management Plan Audit that reviews the effectiveness of the 2020 Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP).

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

No community engagement was sought for this item.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Healdsburg (City) owns, operates, and maintains a sanitary sewer collection system to collect and convey sewage from homes and businesses to the Water Reclamation Facility for treatment. The City’s sanitary sewer system consists of approximately 50 miles of sewer mains and 11 sewer lift stations. The sanitary sewer system serves approximately 10,985 people through approximately 4,973 service connections.

The sanitary sewer operated under a permit administered by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board in compliance with Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements for Sanitary Sewer Systems (SSS WDR, Order WQ 2022-0103-DWQ).

The SSS WDR requires that sanitary sewer system operators prepare a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) to document the policies, procedures, and responsible parties for the proper operation and maintenance of the sanitary sewer system. The goal of the SSMP is to help the sewer system operators minimize sanitary sewer spills (i.e. unauthorized releases from the sewer system).

The SSMP is intended to be a useful document and, as such, requires periodic revisiting for effectiveness in the form of an audit. This revisiting or SSMP Audit is required every two years

9.B
Packet Pg. 182
following updates to the SSMP. The City of Healdsburg SSMP was updated in 2023 to capture revisions to the spill emergency response plan; the SSMP Audit was completed in February 2025.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The SSMP Audit reviews sewer system performance with respect to spills, documents the findings, and identifies areas of improvement.

Spills
The City’s spill events per 100 miles of pipe have decreased over the years. This reduction coincides with the 2020 SSMP update and the implementation of the computerized maintenance management program (CMMS) which was one of the recommendations of the 2020 SSMP.

2023/24 3.7 1.77 1.03 206 43,931 33,869
While the performance of the collection system has improved, the City’s metrics are behind the North Coast Region (Cotati north to the Oregon-California border) and State averages.

The sanitary spills in Healdsburg are attributed to three primary causes: roots, debris, and FOG (fats, oils and grease). Roots enter the pipe through cracks such as separated joints and cracking in the pipe body. These are indicative of an aging sewer system in need of rehabilitation and/or replacement.

Similarly, debris, such as gravel, can enter through similar pipeline defects as roots and often enter after roots have compromised small defects making them larger. Another source of debris is personal wipes. Personal wipes, while advertised as flushable, are slow to disintegrate and can accumulate at roots and pipe defects that make the flow surface not smooth. Staff have a public outreach program through social media and bill inserts that remind the residents that wipes should not be flushed down the sewer.

FOG in the sewer is primarily congealed cooking wastes. As with wipes, staff have a public outreach program through social media and bill inserts that remind the residents that grease and oils should not be flushed down the sewer. The City also has a program with commercial food establishments requiring the establishments install and maintain grease interceptors, which are

9.B
Packet Pg. 183
regularly monitored by staff. Some FOG inevitably enters the sewer and accumulates on the pipe walls at sags in the flow line and at locations where flow velocity is slowed. Where possible these defects are corrected by localized reconstruction. Larger segment reconstruction requires capital improvement investment to correct.

Capacity limitations have not been the attributed cause of spills in the collection system.

However, the collection system experiences a high influx of rainfall-derived inflow and infiltration (I/I). This is evidenced by the high flow peaks (greater than 7 times normal summertime flows) at the pump stations and treatment plant after a rain event. As with roots and debris that have caused spills, pipe defects and cracks are the likely cause of much of the (I/I) and could be reduced with rehabilitation and/or replacement of the damaged pipes.

Other Findings
The SSMP Audit also reviews the administration of the SSMP against the requirements of the SSS WDR. Staff found that the City scored well on most of the requirements but still needs to improve on others. The requirements in need of improvement consist of:
• Training – Staff are required to receive annual training on sewer system operational and maintenance and the spill emergency response plan.
• FOG Disposal plan - The City should develop a list of acceptable grease haulers and verify where each is disposing of hauled material.
• Measure effectiveness of SSMP elements - Conduct the I/I investigation and develop a corrective CIP project(s) to address the I/I.

Staff is working to address these deficiencies noted in the SSMP Audit.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

A managed approach to sewer system operation and maintenance leads to improved performance of the sewer system. This results in less sewage spills that are detrimental to the environment.

ALTERNATIVES:

There are no actions requested, or alternatives provided with this staff report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact directly associated with this staff report. Recommendations for corrective measures requiring capital improvements and the associated costs are addressed separately with the respective improvements in the capital improvements plan.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The receipt and review of SSMP Audit is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because informational items are not a project since they are not a discretionary action by a governmental agency and will not have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect impact on the environment.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 21, 2025
SUBJECT: Abel De Luna Community Center Multicultural Center Concept and Grant Funding from Sonoma County
PREPARED BY: Mark Themig, Community Services Director
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
Provide Effective Governance
Provide Resident-Driven Community Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Receive a presentation and provide direction to staff regarding (1) the integration of concepts from a multicultural center planning process into the design and operation of the Abel De Luna Community Center, and (2) receipt of $500,000 in proposed grant funding from Sonoma County through Supervisor James Gore’s office.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

The City of Healdsburg’s 2023 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion plan (DEI Plan) by Acosta Latino Learning Partnership includes recommendations and goals for the review, improvement, and establishment of community equity programming both within the City government and throughout the greater Healdsburg Community. Nine community events and in-depth listening sessions with 150 community members informed the DEI Plan, which recommends the development of a multicultural center to provide a space dedicated to celebrating cultural heritage and fostering a sense of belonging.

The Healthcare Foundation of Northern Sonoma County (the Foundation) led an initiative in 2024 to advance the multicultural center goal and brought together several community partners, including Corazón Healdsburg, and Alliance Medical Center. The Foundation engaged Goring & Straja Architects and Carducci Associates, two Bay area design firms, who led a participatory process that engaged 129 residents through surveys, eight listening sessions, and two design workshops. The resulting Multicultural Center Report identifies the existing Abel De Luna Community Center as the preferred location for a multicultural center and outlines design and programming concepts that would build upon existing resources and strengthen community connections to realize the multicultural center goal by integrating it within the existing

9.C
Packet Pg. 185
community center.

BACKGROUND:

In 2021, the City Council awarded a contract to Acosta Latino Learning Partnership (ALLP) for the development of a DEI Plan for the City.

On August 7, 2023, the City Council received a presentation from staff and ALLP on the draft DEI Plan and directed staff to hold an implementation workshop, which occurred on October 23, 2023.

In February 2024, the Healthcare Foundation announced a grant of $285,000 from Providence to support a community convening and visioning process for residents of Healdsburg to explore the potential for a multicultural Community Wellness Center commenced a multicultural center initiative to begin realizing the multicultural center recommendations contained in the DEI Plan.

The Foundation held eight listening sessions and two design workshops throughout 2024 and released its Multicultural Center Report in January 2025.

Sonoma County Supervisor James Gore notified staff in February 2025 that he intends to contribute $500,000 in Sonoma County grant funding for implementation of the Multicultural Center concepts identified in the Foundation’s report. This award would also be related to enhancing the Community Center’s role as a resiliency hub during times disasters, emergency response, and recovery.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The Foundation’s Multicultural Center Report includes a master plan concept based upon input from the Foundation’s participatory process. The plan illustrates several recommendations that can be implemented at the Abel De Luna Community Center to integrate the multicultural center concepts within it. The interventions are presented in a framework of six tiers that can be implemented in phases. The Foundation suggests an initial focus on the first three tiers.

Tier 1: Introduce painting of the exterior walls with bright colors to add vibrancy. This will also help identify each building and courtyard and help with visitor wayfinding. Introduce community-based multicultural murals based on traditional themes.

Tier 2: Renovate the east courtyard, the west courtyard near the Corazón offices and the Alliance Medical Center and renovate the south courtyard. This will soften the courtyards, add plants and shade and provide a place for events and outdoor gatherings. Renovate the planting next to the covered walkway between the east courtyard and the south courtyard. Consider adding rain gardens in the courtyards to treat stormwater from impervious surfaces before entering Foss Creek.

Tier 3: Renovate the Multipurpose Room and create an indoor/outdoor relationship with the east courtyard. Renovate the Community Meeting Room to create an indoor/outdoor relationship with the west courtyard and the Corazón offices. Add fire sprinklers as part of the room renovations.

Consider adding rain gardens in the courtyard to treat stormwater from impervious surfaces before entering Foss Creek.

9.C
Packet Pg. 186
Tiers 4-6 are detailed in the attached report from the Foundation.

Supervisor Gore requested that his $500,000 in grant funding be used for near-term implementation of the multicultural center concepts. Additional funding has not been identified.

Due to these funding limitations, staff recommends that the grant funding be used for an improvement project that includes the painting and planting concepts in Tier 1 and Tier 2.

A preliminary grant-funded project budget is as follows:
• Paint the community center’s exterior walls, soffits, eves, flashings, fascia, doors, door frames and window trim, including full primer and two finish coats of paint o $225,000
• Commission community-based multicultural mural
o $50,000
• Landscaping, shade structures, other site improvements o $225,000
If City Council directs staff to move forward with the multicultural center plan and receive funding from Sonoma County, staff will return to City Council with more details on the scope of work, along with a grant agreement that would authorize receipt of the funding.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Should a painting and planting improvement project move forward, the project could incorporate Zero-VOC paints and native plants.

ALTERNATIVES:

City Council could direct staff to focus on the implementation of other multicultural center concepts from the Foundation’s Report. Or City Council could direct staff to decline the grant funding from Supervisor Gore entirely.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The grant from Supervisor Gore does not require any matching funds from the City. Any implementation of the multicultural center concepts would be scoped so that the work does not exceed the $500,000 of grant funding available from Sonoma County.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Prior to final City Council action on the Foundation’s multicultural center concepts and master plan, the City will undertake the necessary environmental review pursuant to Sections 21000 et seq., of the Public Resources Code (California Environmental Quality Act; "CEQA") and in accordance with Sections 15000 et seq., of Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines).

4 This report showcases the community's aspirations for the forthcoming Healdsburg Multicultural Center, shaped by a community-led research endeavor. In response to a profound need for a multicultural and inclusive space of belonging, the Healthcare Foundation of Northern Sonoma County spearheaded this initiative, bringing together the following partners — On the Margins, Corazón Healdsburg, Alliance Medical Center, Goring & Straja Architects, and Carducci Associates.

Through a participatory process involving surveys, listening sessions, and design workshops, 129 residents shared their voices and perspectives, shaping the Healdsburg Multicultural Center from its conceptualization to its architectural design. Analysis of the collected data revealed key themes and priorities, giving rise to ten "Design Mandates" that serve as a roadmap for the center's development. These mandates champion:

1. Multigenerational Spaces for Movement and Play: Design spaces that promote physical well-being for all ages, including multipurpose sports fields, exercise areas, and play spaces for children and youth.

2. Community Kitchen & Cafe: Enjoy a community-led kitchen and cafeteria that fosters culinary skills, shared meal preparation, and access to healthy, affordable food.

3. Collaborative Murals: Partner with Healdsburg artists, especially those from LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, to co-create murals that celebrate cultural diversity and empowerment.

4. Sensory-Aware Design: Create spaces that offer varying levels of sensory engagement, from vibrant and stimulating to quiet and calming, to accommodate diverse needs and preferences.

5. Spaces for Creative Expression: Dedicate areas for community-led arts, crafts, and music programs, emphasizing cultural traditions and the therapeutic benefits of creative expression.

6. Environmental Justice: Demonstrate a commitment to sustainability through the incorporation of native plants, traditional medicinal plants, and edible gardens. The design should prioritize reclaiming and restoring natural spaces historically taken from BIPOC communities.

7. Lifelong Learning Hub: Establish a center for intergenerational learning and career development, offering academic support, life skills training, career/technical education, and resources for literacy, GED preparation, and certifications.

8. Community Gathering Spaces: Provide flexible spaces designed to foster community interaction, gatherings, and cross-cultural connection. Support community-led events, celebrations, and shared activities.

9. Digital Access & Literacy: Ensure on-site computer access and provide technology education, including coding classes, for all community members.

10. Access, Autonomy, Accountability, and Justice: Maintain a strong commitment to mutual accountability and justice for underserved communities in Healdsburg. The center must be physically and financially accessible to all, with community voices central to its design and operation.

This report exemplifies the transformative power of community-based participatory research and collaborative partnerships in shaping spaces that promote well-being, cultural celebration, and a more equitable future for all Healdsburg residents.

LISTENING SESSIONS
5 In 2024, the Healthcare Foundation of Northern Sonoma County, driven by a deep commitment to health equity, recognized the pressing need for a dedicated multicultural center in Healdsburg. This recognition was a response to a long-held community aspiration, brought to light through compelling evidence. A 2023 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion report by Acosta Latino Learning Partnership, which involved in-depth listening sessions with 150 community members, revealed a strong desire for a space dedicated to celebrating cultural heritage and fostering a sense of belonging. This contemporary finding resonated with a decades-old recommendation from a 1982 American Institute of Architects study that proposed a "Hispanic Community Center" to address the dwindling number of traditional gathering places for the city's growing Latine population. These converging voices, spanning generations, painted a clear picture: Healdsburg needed a vibrant, dedicated space where residents, particularly those historically marginalized, could connect, thrive, and access essential resources.

Introduction
Recognizing this historical context and the community's clearly articulated need, the Healthcare Foundation championed this vision, setting the Healdsburg Multicultural Center Project (HMCP) in motion. To ensure the initiative was truly community-driven, they enlisted On the Margins (OTM), an organization specializing in asset-based community development (ABCD) and participatory research. OTM, with its expertise in collaborative approaches like This photo depicts one of the listening sessions.
participatory mapping and "freedom dreaming" – methodologies that empower communities to envision and build their desired futures – was uniquely positioned to guide this effort.

Partnering with Corazón Healdsburg and Alliance Medical Center, two organizations deeply interwoven with the fabric of the Healdsburg community, OTM embarked on the HMCP. This initiative sought to cultivate a grassroots vision for a vibrant and inclusive space, one that authentically responded to the needs and aspirations of all residents, particularly those who are on the margins. Ensuring the active and meaningful engagement of these communities was paramount, with their voices and perspectives shaping every facet of the project, from its initial conception to the final design.

To gain a deeper understanding of the community's needs and aspirations for the HMCP, OTM, in collaboration with Alliance Medical Center and Corazón Healdsburg, facilitated a series of eight bilingual (Spanish and English) listening sessions in Healdsburg between January and October 2024. These in-person sessions provided a safe and welcoming platform for residents to share their visions for the center, prompting them to consider key questions such as:
• Who should the center serve, and who should be involved in its operation and governance?
• What kinds of activities, programs, and resources should it offer? • How should the physical space be designed to foster a welcoming and inclusive space of belonging? What amenities are essential?
• What kind of atmosphere, or "spirit," should the center cultivate? • What core values should guide the center's operations and programming? By prioritizing community voices and fostering collaborative exploration, the listening sessions laid the groundwork for a culturally responsive and inclusive space where everyone can feel a sense of belonging.

LISTENING SESSIONS
6 During these eight listening sessions, Corazón Healdsburg and Alliance Medical Center meticulously documented the ideas, concerns, and aspirations expressed by Healdsburg residents. On the Margins then carefully analyzed this wealth of qualitative data, identifying recurring themes and priorities. These recurring themes, embodying the collective wisdom and desires of the community, were then synthesized into the "10 Design Mandates." These mandates served as guiding principles for the project, ensuring that the final design truly reflected the community's vision.

To further solidify the community's vision and translate it into tangible design concepts, two esteemed firms, Goring & Straja Architects and Carducci Associates, joined the HMCP. These two firms orchestrated two pivotal community sessions designed to bridge the gap between aspirations and architectural realities.

The inaugural community design session, held in September 2024, focused on exploring potential programs and architectural designs to best serve the Healdsburg Multicultural Center's mission. Participants delved into the "10 Design Mandates," with a particular emphasis on practical implementation and seamless integration into the existing Healdsburg Community Center site—the location favored by residents for the multicultural center. A key component of this session was a "dot polling" activity, an interactive exercise that allowed residents to quickly and visually express their design preferences, providing invaluable insights to guide the architects.

Building on this foundation, the second session in November 2024 shifted the focus to gathering community input on specific architectural and landscape design elements. This workshop fostered a collaborative environment where residents actively participated in a site planning activity, generating ideas for the center's layout, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. By actively involving the community in this process, their vision was firmly embedded into the project's design and development trajectory.

This report delves into the heart of Healdsburg’s aspirations for a Multicultural Center, weaving together the voices and visions of its residents. It first explores the demographic landscape of Healdsburg, providing a snapshot of its residents and their diverse backgrounds. It then presents a comprehensive analysis of community feedback, utilizing both traditional qualitative methods and innovative text mining techniques to uncover key themes and aspirations. These findings paint a vivid picture of the community's desired Healdsburg Multicultural Center.

Finally, it translates these aspirations into concrete design mandates, offering a roadmap for creating a space that truly reflects and serves the needs of all Healdsburg residents. This report is a testament to the power of community engagement and collaboration, showcasing the potential for creating a truly inclusive multicultural center in Healdsburg.

7 rich tapestry of cultures that contribute to the city's vibrant identity today, while also recognizing and honoring its indigenous roots.

Healdsburg
Population & Demographics
Healdsburg, a town in the heart of Sonoma County, California, is a place where history, culture, and demographics converge to create a unique and dynamic community. It is critical to acknowledge that Healdsburg stands on the unceded ancestral lands of the Southern Pomo people, specifically the Kaiyao Pomo. This historical context underscores the importance of recognizing the profound connection between the land, its original inhabitants, and Healdsburg’s identity today.

Healdsburg is home to a diverse population of over 11,000 residents. While the majority identify as White (65.64%), the town has significant Latine (27.82%) and mixed-race (7.38%) communities (See Table 1). It is important to recognize and value the presence and contributions of all residents, including the smaller but vital Asian, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander populations. The presence of different sociocultural groups enriches Healdsburg's social fabric, shaping its cultural landscape.

A closer look at Healdsburg's demographic profile reveals important trends. The age distribution skews older, with over a quarter of residents aged 65 or older. This demographic characteristic has the potential to influence the types of services and amenities desired within the community. Additionally, a significant portion of residents (15.23%) are foreign-born, indicating a rich history of immigration and cultural exchange that has undoubtedly contributed to Healdsburg’s unique strength and character.

Housing presents a serious challenge, with a median home value exceeding $900,000 and a median gross rent of over $2,000. These factors play a significant role in the socioeconomic dynamics within the community, highlighting the need to address affordability and ensure equity and justice for all residents.

Creating a truly inclusive and representative Multicultural Center in Healdsburg necessitates a deep understanding of its unique demographic landscape. This involves acknowledging the Characteristic Statistic

8 Socioeconomic Indicators
Healdsburg's relatively high median family income suggests a degree of affluence; however, a closer examination reveals socioeconomic complexities that affect residents' lives. For example, 8.7% of the population comprises non-citizens or undocumented individuals, who may encounter challenges accessing essential services and experience increased vulnerability due to their immigration status (See Table 2). In addition, 11.2% of residents identify as having a disability, underscoring the need for accessible and inclusive housing, transportation, and public spaces to ensure they can fully participate in wellness programs and community life.

A relatively high vacancy rate (14.6%) raises questions about housing affordability, seasonal residency patterns, or a potential mismatch between housing supply and demand.

Investigating these factors is crucial to understanding the dynamics of Healdsburg's housing market and addressing potential challenges. With 42.9% of households being renteroccupied, policies that support renters' rights and housing stability become paramount. This includes prioritizing affordable housing options, implementing tenant protections, and establishing eviction prevention programs to safeguard vulnerable and marginalized residents.

Although the majority of households have access to computers and broadband internet (over 95%), maintaining digital equity and addressing any remaining digital divide is vital. Bridging this gap is essential to prevent disparities in access to information, education, employment opportunities, and other critical resources in an increasingly digital world.

Understanding these socioeconomic nuances is fundamental for effective community planning and resource allocation in Healdsburg. By recognizing and addressing these complexities, the community can strive to ensure that all residents, regardless of income, background, or ability, have the opportunity to thrive and enjoy health, wellness, and a high quality of life.

9 interplay between various well-being factors and underscores the need for a multipronged approach to address the unique challenges faced by residents in Central Healdsburg.

The disparities in well-being across Healdsburg's neighborhoods highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions and equitable resource allocation. By understanding the specific challenges and opportunities within each neighborhood, the city can develop tailored strategies to improve the quality of life for all residents.

A Tale of Three Neighborhoods

The tale of three neighborhoods analysis reveals stark disparities in well-being across Healdsburg's census tracts, painting a picture of distinct realities experienced by residents in different parts of the city (See Table 3). A granular analysis underscores the importance of moving beyond city-wide averages to understand the nuanced experiences of residents within specific neighborhoods.
• Old Healdsburg: This census tract
emerges as the most advantaged area,
boasting the highest scores in health and
education. Residents here likely benefit
from factors such as access to quality
h e a l t h c a re s e r v i c e s a n d s t ro n g
educational institutions. This translates
to a higher overall quality of life and
greater access to resources, contributing
to better health outcomes, higher
educational attainment, and increased
economic stability.
• North Healdsburg: In stark contrast,
North Healdsburg presents a concerning
picture with the lowest scores in health and education. This indicates significant challenges faced by residents in this area, including potential barriers to accessing healthcare services and limited educational opportunities. These factors can contribute to poorer health outcomes and lower educational attainment potentially trapping residents in cycles of disadvantage.
• Central Healdsburg: This neighborhood occupies a middle ground, with strong health and education indices but the lowest income index. This suggests that while residents may have access to good healthcare and education, they may still face financial constraints or income inequality. This disparity highlights the complex TABLE 3.

North Healdsburg 5.9 44.6 14.4 72.8
Central Healdsburg 10 35.4 14.8 82.2
• North Healdsburg: While still relatively high compared to national averages, North Healdsburg exhibits slightly lower educational attainment levels than Old Healdsburg. The percentage of residents with a Bachelor's or Graduate/Professional degree is lower, and the percentage without a high school diploma is slightly higher.

This suggests that residents in North Healdsburg may encounter barriers to accessing or completing higher education, potentially limiting their economic opportunities and overall well-being.
• Central Healdsburg: This neighborhood presents the most concerning picture regarding educational attainment. It has the lowest percentage of residents with a Bachelor's degree and the highest percentage without a high school diploma. This disparity raises concerns about the quality of education and support systems available to residents in Central Healdsburg. It also suggests that residents may face significant challenges in pursuing higher education or even completing high school, potentially perpetuating cycles of economic hardship and limiting social mobility.

These stark differences in educational attainment across Healdsburg's neighborhoods underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions and investments to address these inequities.

11 Racial and Ethnic Disparities
Analyzing well-being across Healdsburg's three census tracts – North Healdsburg, Central Healdsburg, and Old Healdsburg – reveals disparities that may disproportionately impact specific racial and ethnic groups. For instance, North Healdsburg, which has the lowest scores across health and education, also has a higher concentration of Latine residents. This suggests that Latine residents in this area may face greater challenges in accessing healthcare, educational opportunities, and also economic resources.

Furthermore, Central Healdsburg, with its lower income index despite strong health and education indices, may also reflect disparities experienced by specific racial or ethnic groups. A deeper investigation into the demographic composition of each census tract, alongside the well-being indicators, can shed light on potential racial and ethnic disparities that require targeted interventions.

This analysis of Healdsburg reveals a community rich in diversity and history, but also marked by socioeconomic disparities and unequal access to resources across its neighborhoods. Recognizing these disparities is crucial for creating a truly inclusive and equitable Multicultural Center.

Median Earnings
Median earnings provide a stark illustration of the economic disparities that exist between Healdsburg's neighborhoods. These figures shed light on the financial realities faced by residents in different areas and underscore the need for targeted economic development initiatives (See Table 6).
• North Healdsburg: Has the highest median earnings ($42,060), indicating a higher level of economic prosperity in this area.
• Old Healdsburg: Follows closely with median earnings of $41,770, suggesting a similar level of economic well-being.
• Central Healdsburg: Reports the lowest median earnings ($34,926), indicating a potential need for economic development and support in this neighborhood.

Understanding these economic disparities is crucial for community planning and resource allocation in Healdsburg. By recognizing these variations, the community can strive to ensure that all residents, regardless of their neighborhood, have the opportunity to thrive and enjoy a high quality of life.]

LISTENING SESSIONS
15 Preferred Location
When asked about the ideal location for the Healdsburg Multicultural Center, participants overwhelmingly favored integrating it into the existing Healdsburg Community Center at 1557 Healdsburg Ave, Healdsburg, CA 95448.

This strong preference stemmed from several factors:
• Familiarity and Comfort: The existing Community Center is already a familiar and welcoming space for many residents, fostering a sense of comfort and belonging. • Increased Feasibility: Participants recognized that leveraging the existing site would make the project more feasible and efficient, allowing for a quicker realization of the Multicultural Center.
• Centralized Community Hub: Integrating the Multicultural Center into the existing Community Center creates a centralized hub for diverse programs and services, promoting greater access and community interaction.

By choosing this location, the community envisions a vibrant and inclusive space that builds upon existing resources and strengthens community connections.

Design Workshops Based on Design Mandates
To bridge the gap between community aspirations and architectural realities, the design team orchestrated two interactive workshops. The first workshop, held in September 2024, served as a platform to gather community feedback on potential architectural designs and delve deeper into how the community's vision could be seamlessly integrated into the existing Healdsburg Community Center site.

A key component of this workshop was the "dot polling" activity, which allowed residents to visually express their preferences for various design options by placing colored stickers on posters. This interactive exercise provided the architects with immediate, quantifiable feedback, giving them valuable insights to guide their decision-making.

Building on the foundation established in the first workshop, the second workshop in November 2024 delved into specific architectural and landscape design elements. Residents actively participated in a site planning activity, generating creative ideas for the center's layout, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.

This photo is from the initial design workshop held at the Healdsburg Community Center.

The images showcase a range of design possibilities explored by the architecture firms for this project.

LISTENING SESSIONS
16 2. 3D Model Perspective: To further enhance visualization and refine the design, the architects are creating a 3D model of the Healdsburg Multicultural Center. This digital representation allows them to:
• Explore Aesthetics: Experiment with different architectural styles, materials, and color palettes to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and culturally relevant design. • Evaluate Functionality: Assess the flow and functionality of spaces, ensuring they meet the intended purpose and accommodate various activities and events. • Communicate Effectively: Share a tangible representation of the design with stakeholders, facilitating communication and fostering a shared understanding of the project's vision.

By meticulously crafting the master plan concept and 3D model perspective, the architects are taking concrete steps to bring the community's dream for the Healdsburg Multicultural Center to life.

Future Directions
The architects are currently immersed in the process of translating the community's aspirations into tangible design concepts for the Healdsburg Multicultural Center. They are diligently analyzing the wealth of feedback gathered from the two community workshops, paying close attention to the preferences expressed through the "dot polling" activity. This valuable input is shaping their decision-making as they refine the design and ensure it aligns with the community's vision.

Their current focus is twofold:

1. Master Plan Concept: The architects are developing a comprehensive master plan that outlines the overall design and layout of the center. This preliminary plan encompasses various aspects, including:
• Building Placement: Strategically positioning the main building and any auxiliary structures to optimize flow and functionality.
• Parking and Accessibility: Designing accessible parking areas and pathways that cater to individuals of all abilities.
• Walkways and Circulation: Creating a pedestrian-friendly environment with clearly defined walkways and intuitive circulation patterns.
• Landscaping and Outdoor Spaces: Integrating green spaces, native plants, and gathering areas that foster a sense of community and connection with nature. • Amenities and Features: Incorporating key amenities such as the community kitchen, multi-purpose spaces, and technology areas in a way that maximizes their usability and accessibility.

This master plan concept serves as a blueprint for the project, guiding decision-making and ensuring that the final design effectively meets the diverse needs of the community.

The image shows one groups’ site plan that influenced the Master Plan Concept.

VISIONING SESSIONS
18 Workshop #01
Drawing from the Listening Sessions
As was previously mentioned in the On the Margins (OTM) report, the firms of Goring & Straja Architects and Carducci Associates (Design Team), were engaged to further the community’s vision for the Healdsburg Multicultural Center. The Design Team’s intent was to build upon the the information and data gathered at the eight“Listening Sessions by introducing two “Visioning Session” Workshops to engage with the community directly. OTM provided the Design Team with an “Architect Design Suggestions Report” which summarized the data collected at the previous Listening Sessions to assist them with preparing for the Workshops.

After reviewing the report, the Design Team determined that there were eight distinct Programmatic Spaces the community described for their ideal Multicultural Center:

The mural above is currently displayed in the west courtyard of the existing community center. The participatory and community oriented nature of it serves as inspiration for the HMCP process. • Quiet Study / Reading Spaces
• Music Room
• Life Skills / Career Support Spaces
• Multipurpose Room
• Community Kitchen
• Arts & Crafts Room
• Study Spaces
• Classrooms
The Design Team developed image boards consisting of photographs they felt could best describe options for each of the eight Programmatic Spaces. In addition, they developed image boards representing the ten Design Mandates which also had multiple photographic images of options for each of the Design Mandates.

VISIONING SESSIONS
19 In addition to Dot Polling, a “Comments Board” was made available to solicit input from the community to further describe their vision for the Multicultural Center not be represented in the Programmatic Spaces or Design Mandates image boards.

Site Context and Dot Polling
Workshop #01 was held on October 16, 2024 at the Healdsburg Community Center Multipurpose Room. It was attended by over 50 members of the community. Bi-lingual materials and a translator were provided at the Workshop to ensure inclusion. A Context Map, Existing Conditions Plan and Plan of the Existing Community Center were presented to orientate the community with the facility. After review of the eight Programmatic Spaces and ten Design Mandate Programming Imagery Boards, the community was provided with colored “dots” and asked to place them on the images (photographs) of Spaces / Mandates that resonate with them. It was a lively exercise and participants enjoyed the opportunity to “vote” for the photographs that best represented their vision for the future Multicultural Center. It should be noted that several participants would gather around a specific board and discuss as a group why a specific photograph was the best representation.

The following page shows the context map of Healdsburg that was printed at large scale for reference during Visioning Session 1, to illustrate relationships between the existing Community Center site and other public amenities and points of interest within Healdsburg.

The mural above is currently
displayed in the west courtyard
of the existing community
center. The participatory and
community oriented nature of it
serves as inspiration for the
HMCP process.

VISIONING SESSIONS
22 Existing Site Conditions
The existing Healdsburg Community Center is owned and operated by the City of Healdsburg.

It was a former elementary school. It is adjacent to Foss Creek and the Foss Creek Bikeway, an abandoned railroad right-of-way that connects to Central Healdsburg. The Community Center fronts Healdsburg Avenue. The site is bordered by mature trees on the south and east. West of the site is a large grove of mature native oak trees in the Foss Creek riparian corridor. Between Foss Creek and the site is the abandoned railway and the Foss Creek Bikeway. The site is about 10 acres and includes three distinct areas:

1. a central campus of one-story buildings,

2. south of the campus buildings is a multiuse hardcourt with basketball courts, a children’s play area, an abandoned community garden, and an adjacent multiuse natural grass sports field that accommodates baseball and soccer,

3. and a small undeveloped area in the north portion of the site The central campus buildings are occupied by the City of Healdsburg Community Services Department, Corazón Healdsburg, Alliance Medical Center and a YMCA childcare facility.

The campus also includes a Multipurpose Building with a kitchen, a community meeting room and several classrooms that are available for rental use. The buildings and rooms are connected by covered outdoor corridors. Situated between the various rooms and covered outdoor corridors are three mostly paved courtyards. The courtyard next to the Multipurpose Room includes a sunken amphitheater. The two other courtyards are unprogrammed and have few trees or plants.

Area 3: view of undeveloped north area; looking south from start of Foss Creek Bikeway at Grove St.

Area 2: view of vast blacktop and soccer fields south of central campus, looking south.

Area 1: view of entrance on north side of central campus, looking south.

34 Workshop #02
Results Revealed
Workshop #02 was also at the Healdsburg Community Center Multipurpose Room on November 24, 2024. After a brief recap, the Design Team presented the Dot Polling results for the Programmatic Spaces and Design Mandate images. The standout images were the most popular images that were reviewed and selected at the first Visioning Session. Each Programmatic Space was represented in the Dot Polling Results board. Similar to the Word Clouds, the standout images were increased or decreased in size according to the number of dot polling votes a specific image received. What emerged from this exercise was the opportunity for the Design Team to define “Commonalities” amongst the eight Programmatic Spaces and ten Design Mandates:

The entrance to the existing Community Center at 1557 Healdsburg Ave.

Programmatic Space Commonalities:
• Close Relationship between Indoor &
Outdoor
• Family Oriented
• Traditional Building Techniques &
Materials
• Fiber Arts priority for Craft Space
• Playfulness, Festivity
• Flexibility of Space & Technology
Design Mandate Commonalities:
• Food, Music and Dance
• Exercise in Natural Setting “Green
Exercise”
• Access to Nature and Ethnobotanical
Plants
• Education and Access to Technology
• Multigenerational and Traditional
• Art Representing Cultural Heritage

37 A Community Charrette
During the second half of Workshop #02, participants were divided into six groups. Each group consisted of 8-10 persons plus a design facilitator and bi-lingual colleague. The groups gathered around an existing Site Plan of the facility and were provided with transparent representations of the Programmatic Spaces and Design Mandates for the participants to overlay over the existing Site Plan as a “Space Planning Activity”. Each group’s final “Site Plan” was recorded.

It is the hope of the Design Team that as the project moves forward, the Dot Polling Results, Commonalities and Site Plan options will inform and influence the design for the future Multicultural Center.

Group 6 hashes out some possibilities with
landscape architect Karly Behncke.

Ellipses with site elements (green) or interior
programs (blue) were printed on acetate to overlay
the site plan. Write-ins were purple.

Group 1 poses at their table in the existing Multipurpose Room of the Community Center after completing their site planning activity. Architect Douglas Thornley (standing) joined their table.

Detailed Summary of Notes per Charrette Group
Group 2:
• Mostly programing
• Table two placed acetate programs overtop of
where they are existing in order to ‘lock them in’
and preserve their programs.
• Table two came up with so many of their own
programs that they used all of the purple open
ended ellipses and more plain trace paper.

Group 3—Scheme 1:
‣ Community Center
• Use existing rooms in the community center for
quiet activity. Ie: Use existing MPR for quiet
study
• Have noisy activities on the south side of the
community center. Ie: Music room located on
south side of community center
• Rearrangement of room use inside the existing
community center
• Locate historic mural on free-standing wall east
of the existing amphitheater
‣ South of Community Center
• Locate ethnobotanical garden at location of
former garden. Locate community kitchen west
of the ethnobotanical garden and outdoor
cultural kitchen south of the ethnobotanical
garden.
• Locate large community gathering structure in
southwest corner of hardcourt. Include outdoor
music performance and stage with seating
• Provide indoor soccer, basketball and gym
venue at location of existing basketball courts
• Expand one bay of parking into lawn
• Include walking paths
• Use hardcourt for Zumba, play structure and
pavement activity
‣ Undeveloped Parcel
• Outdoor learning, Outdoor tech station and
Sweat House
Group 3— Scheme 2:
‣ Community Center
• Use existing rooms in the community center for
noisy activity. Ie: Use existing MPR for
performance space
• Have quiet activities on the south side of the
community center. Ie: classrooms and quiet
study
• Rearrangement of room use inside the existing
community center
• Locate historic mural on free-standing wall east
of the existing amphitheater
‣ South of Community Center
• Locate ethnobotanical garden at location of
former garden. Locate community kitchen west
of the ethnobotanical garden and outdoor
cultural kitchen south of the ethnobotanical
garden.
• Locate large community gathering structure in
southwest corner of hardcourt. Include outdoor
music performance and stage with seating
• Provide indoor soccer, basketball and gym
venue at location of existing basketball courts
• Include walking paths
• Use hardcourt for Zumba, play structure and
pavement activity
‣ Undeveloped Parcel
• Outdoor Learning, Outdoor tech station and
Sweat House
• Music room
Group 4:
• "All in the short term" note added at the end -
• at the zoomed-out diagram level, this group chose
to maintain the 'indoor' program where the
building is and the 'outdoor' programs where the
open space/fields are. -
• exceptions: the community kitchen away from the
existing building, adjacent to the open space/large
gathering space; the addition of a pool at the site
of the current baseball fields. -
• the existing athletic fields have been taken over
by other programming. -
• the live music/food truck programs on the north
site were a last minute addition because there
was confusion as to whether this was, in fact, part
of the parcel. this demonstrates excitement about
this location though these are short term
measures.

VISIONING SESSIONS
39 Group 6:
• Noted how important parking is to maintain and
expand where possible due to the overflow during
events/soccer games. Not willing to lose trees for
parking.
• General interest was more in programming and
how to use un-used space in the community center
quickly and effectively for what the community
needed: Financial Support, Life Skills Youth
Support, Art-Making Spaces, Dance Class, Event
Hall.
• Liked the idea of re-using former garden area for
the Ethnobotanical Garden and also align it with
outdoor learning spaces so it can support
educational activities to the garden as well.
• The hardcourt area adjacent to the field is very
important not only for parking during overflow
events, but for the youth. Re-striping or adding
color to the pavement for creating new activities
seemed of interest. Keeping basketball was a
must, but there was an idea that it could be a
covered soccer space as well.
• Activating Foss Creek Pathway with fitness
Stations, Cultural Plants for interest and signage
that could provided measured increment
information or educational signage about
ornamental plants that tell a story about the
regions of their native countries
• Murals could be placed on any open wall space
• General excitement about creating an large event
space in the undeveloped parcel for parties, music
events, and impromptu food park. Parking was
noted of importance, and could be placed at
furthest corner where entry from adjacent road
could be easy.

Three of the five groups creating site plans during Visioning Session 2 Group 5:
• Passionate about preserving parking lot space
• Excited about having the Pool and the Temazcal
adjacent to each other
• Considering splitting field up into new areas,
keeping some lawn for progams such as zumba,
nature play, and a gathering pavilion (potential for
an artificial turf field)
• Walking path with bilingual signage adjacent to/
going through the ethnobotanical garden
• Mention of indoor soccer
• Mural to be placed on existing building to
accentuate the space
After the breakout session, an open discussion was started to bring the groups back together. The summary of notes are as follows:
• a place for events/ music (Event Hall for rent)
• An indoor soccer area - year round, all-weather sports complex • Currently they have to travel to Sports Complex in Santa Rosa (Sports City) • Fitness stations, plants and signage along existing walkway to amplify that experience • A location for Food trucks (similar to Mitote Food Park in Santa Rosa) • Providing spaces for technology and financial education • Art making spaces for the local artisans to create and sell their work • Spaces for dance classes/music classes
• Varying degrees for access of youth activities - indoor and outdoor • Funding for sports usages
• Community Center
• Use existing rooms in the community center for quiet activity. Ie: Use existing MPR for quiet study
• Have noisy activities on the south side of the community center. Ie: Music room located on south side of community center
• Rearrangement of room use inside the existing community center • Locate historic mural on free-standing wall east of the existing amphitheater • Prefer to put effort into programming + healthcare and not the building. • Provide spaces for Arts + Crafts (space for weaving), indoor soccer, dancing; outdoor gym/exercise equipment; proper Soccer Field; Training Facility for Soccer Teams; Arts + Crafts program for children; Music programming; Resiliency Center capability. Provide funds for Soccer Program, child activities (ballet, dance, etc).

Mostly programming and not design (with exception of Indoor Soccer, Training Facility and Resiliency Center).

47 Future Directions
The Design Team was asked to develop a Master Plan Concept and 3D Renderings of possible interventions at the existing Healdsburg Community Center that incorporate the visions provided during Workshops #01/#02. The interventions are as follows:

View of the amphitheater from the existing and underutilized west courtyard. ‣ Master Plan
Concept
‣ West Courtyard
‣ East Courtyard
‣ South Courtyard
‣ Multipurpose Room
Master Plan Concept
The master plan is based on input from the meeting participants that identified inclusivity, welcomeness, multigenerational activity, sustainability, places to have food together, an outdoor kitchen, adding connections to nature, native and ethnobotanical plants, music, gathering areas, quiet areas, space for events, color and vibrancy. Provide indoor/outdoor relationships and be rustic or traditional in architectural style rather than modern.

The master plan illustrates several recommendations that can be interventions into the community center. Recommendations are presented in a framework of tiers and can be adjusted as needed.

First tier: Introduce painting of the exterior walls with bright colors to add vibrancy. This will also help identify each building and courtyard and help with visitor wayfinding.

Introduce community-based multicultural murals based on traditional themes.

49 Second Tier: Renovate the east courtyard, the west courtyard near the Corazón offices and the Alliance Medical Center and renovate the south courtyard. This will soften the courtyards, add plants and shade and provide a place for events and outdoor gatherings.

Renovate the planting next to the covered walkway between the east courtyard and the south courtyard. Consider adding rain gardens in the courtyards to treat stormwater from impervious surfaces before entering Foss Creek. See images and description below of courtyards.

Third Tier: Renovate the Multipurpose Room and create an indoor/outdoor relationship with the east courtyard. Renovate the Community Meeting Room to create an indoor/outdoor relationship with the west courtyard and the Corazón offices. Add fire sprinklers as part of the room renovations. Consider adding rain gardens in the courtyard to treat stormwater from impervious surfaces before entering Foss Creek.

Fourth tier: Continue to implement community-based murals, paint the paving under the outdoor corridors as an “art walk”, renovate the paved area south of the buildings and add a picnic pavilion/shade structure with outdoor kitchen or barbecue area with water and electricity, ethnobotanical and herb garden, a quiet garden, add shade trees and shrub planting. Also consider placing art, bilingual educational signage, exercise stations, a bike fix it station and bike trailhead along the Foss Creek Bikeway. Consider adding rain gardens to treat stormwater from impervious surfaces before entering Foss Creek.

Fifth tier: Renovate the large asphalt paved area next to the multipurpose field to accommodate food truck events, informal or formal parking, rotate and color the basketball courts, add exercise stations, shade tree and shrub planting, seating areas and enlarge the children’s play area. Replace some asphalt with decomposed granite paving and salvaged concrete placed like flagstone to soften the space. Add bio-retention areas to treat stormwater from impervious surfaces before entering Foss Creek.

Sixth tier: Use the undeveloped parcel for temporary and seasonal events that could include temporary tents, portable stage, portable dance floor, food trucks and other temporary facilities for special events. For the long term consider adding an accessible outdoor pavilion for events, with restrooms, storage, stage area, outdoor kitchen and a lawn for events.

Prospective Perspectives — West
Courtyard
The West Courtyard includes a communitybased mural and painted walls. It replaces the concrete paving with decomposed
granite paving and salvaged concrete
paving (urbanite) arranged in a random
pattern to soften the courtyard. It has a
raised water feature with cobble stones
that mimic an arroyo and can also look
natural when dry during a drought.

A bosque of deciduous flowering trees,
such as Crape myrtle, provides dappled
summer shade and winter sun, native
plants and movable furniture add nature
and comfort to the courtyard. It also
includes an overhead pergola next to the
Community Meeting Room to provide a
dramatic shade pattern that changes and
marks the sun movement throughout the
day. Next to the pergola, a wall of
windows in the Community Meeting Room
wall facing the courtyard is transformed
into a wall of operable glass doors for an
indoor/outdoor feeling. Consider adding
rain gardens to treat stormwater from
impervious surfaces before entering Foss
Creek.

57 Prospective Perspectives — Multipurpose Room
The existing Multipurpose Room at the existing Healdsburg Community Center was a former cafeteria for a K-6 Elementary School dating back to the late 1980’s. The Design Team believes the room can be substantially transformed to reflect the diversity of the community as well as support a diversity of uses and activities. The vision shown weaves the following modifications to open the space to the outdoors and improve the acoustics and lighting for the types of activities spelled out in the OTM report: • Removal of storage structure (to be replaced with a simple structure adjacent to the Restroom) to allow for a flip-up glass door that will provide views into the adjacent east courtyard and encourage indoor/outdoor activities. • Install a wood slat acoustical ceiling assembly to improve the sound experience and warm the space.
• Removal of fold-down cafeteria tables and infill wall niches with wood slat acoustical wall panels.
• New lighting to provide more flexibility for daytime / nighttime activities. • Replace existing flooring with a wood dance floor system. • Color: introduce colors more reflective of the diverse Healdsburg community.

It should be noted that another project related to the Multipurpose Room is the replacement and expansion of the existing commercial kitchen to better support the desire for a Community Kitchen.

Adjacent: View from east courtyard looking into the Multipurpose Room, now a much more appropriate atmosphere for community festivities.

58 Notes on Color
One of the simplest and cost effective
means for transforming the facility into a
Multicultural Center is the introduction of
vibrant colors to the exterior of the existing
buildings. The Design Team is inspired by
the use of color by two famous Mexican
architects, Luis Barragán and Ricardo
Legorreta. The colors selected should be
rooted in how the diverse cultures of
Healdsburg experience the world. The
colors suggested are brilliant yellow,
orange, red and purple. If the City of
Healdsburg decides to proceed with
rethinking the exterior color palette for the
facility when transforming it into the
Multicultural Center, then a more careful
and deep study of which colors are finally
determined should take place.

Adjacent: View of the west courtyard from the entry
walkway. The existing mural shown right compliments the proposed landscaping and paint color upgrades.

68 Topics 1, 2, 3, 5, and 15 were selected for further analysis due to their interpretability and distinctiveness from other topics. Here's a refined interpretation of each topic:

Five key themes emerged from the analysis of community feedback regarding the Healdsburg Multicultural Center:

1. Intergenerational, Bilingual, and Multicultural Activities: The center should offer diverse recreational activities and courses accessible in multiple languages, catering to all ages and celebrating various cultural practices.

2. Art and Music as Cultural Cornerstones: Prioritize art and music education, recognizing their role in preserving cultural heritage and fostering community cohesion.

3. Multipurpose Sports Fields for Community Connection: Include multipurpose sports fields to promote physical activity, intergenerational interaction, and community building.

4. Educational Opportunities for Adults: Provide GED courses and adult educational support, including English language learning, to empower individuals and strengthen the community.

5. Environmentally Just and Culturally Relevant Design: The center's design should prioritize environmental sustainability and cultural responsiveness, creating a natural environment that complements the local ecosystem while celebrating Healdsburg's diverse cultural practices. This space should encourage community gatherings and foster a deeper connection with nature.

Project: Healdsburg Multicultural/Community Wellness Center / Proyecto: Centro Comunitario Multicultural de Healdsburg Subject: Workshop 1: Open House / Contenido: Taller 1 : Casa Abierta Date: October 16, 2024 6:00 - 7:30 pm / Fecha: 16 de Octubre de 2024 6:00 - 7:30 PM CONCLUSIONS AND DESIGN SUGGESTIONS:

Thanks to the comprehensive results and thematic analysis from the Listening sessions, the following 10 “design mandates” were gathered:

1. Multipurpose, Intergenerational Movement Spaces: Intentionally support the physical well-being of the community through multi-purpose sports fields, exercise gyms for personal fitness, and playgrounds/play spaces for youth.

2. Community Kitchen/Cafeteria: Establish a community-led and community-supported kitchen/cafeteria that allows for culinary practice and education, community food preparation, and encourages access to healthy meals at sliding-scale costs.

3. Participatory Mural Design: Engage with community members and local artists, especially LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC artists, in Healdsburg to co-create mural designs for the Multicultural Center that both represents the cultural diversity of the Healdsburg community and empowers residents to create positive impact in their communities.

4. Mixed-Sensory Engagement: The Multicultural center design should have spaces that vary in sensory engagement so visitors can either engage in loud, stimulating environments or quiet, relaxing spaces.

5. Arts, Crafts, Music: Create “maker spaces” or other community-led spaces for arts, crafts, and music practice; Emphasize cultural/traditional music and art practices as well as art practice for healing/well-being.

6. Environmental Justice: The Multicultural center should be environmentally sustainable, and should have intentional environmental design that both highlights native plants, traditional/cultural/medicinal plants, and native food plants; The space should reclaim environmental spaces and plants historically taken from BIPOC communities.

7. Multifaceted Educational Support: The Multicultural center should have a hub for intergenerational educational and career development support: academic support,“life skills” courses, and Career-Technical Education courses for youth; Literacy development, GED preparation, and Career Certification for adults and elders.

8. Community Building: Create spaces for community engagement, gathering, and cross-cultural belonging; Food, sports, parties/fiestas, and other mass gatherings should be supported and co-created with community members.

9. Computer Access and Education: The Multicultural center should be able to provide visitors with computer access and computer/coding classes for members in the community.

10. Prioritize Access, Autonomy, Accountability and Justice: Ensure that the Multicultural center is accessible to all (regardless of ability, cost, or personal background), uplifts community voices in directly designing the space, is accountable to the community (and the community is accountable for maintaining and supporting the center in return), and prioritizes justice for underserved and disinvested communities in Healdsburg.

CONCLUSIONES Y SUGERENCIAS DE DISEÑO:

Basado en aportes y análisis integrales de la comunidad, los siguientes principios básicos de diseño guiarán la creación del Centro Multicultural de Healdsburg:

1. Espacios multigeneracionales de movimiento y juego: Espacios diseñados para el bienestar físico para todas las edades, incluyendo canchas deportivas de usos múltiples, áreas de ejercicio y espacios de juego para niños y jóvenes.

2. Cocina/Cafetería Comunitaria: Una cocina/cafetería dirigida por la comunidad que fomenta las habilidades culinarias, la preparación de comidas compartidas y el acceso a alimentos saludables y asequibles.

3. Arte mural colaborativo: Asociaciones con artistas y miembros de la comunidad de Healdsburg, especialmente de las comunidades LGBTQIA+ y BIPOC, para cocrear murales que celebren la diversidad cultural y el empoderamiento.

4. Diseño sensorialmente consciente: Espacios que ofrecen distintos niveles de participación sensorial, desde vibrantes y estimulantes hasta tranquilos y calmantes, para adaptarse a las preferencias individuales.

5. Espacios para la expresión creativa: Áreas dedicadas a artes, artesanías y música dirigidas por la comunidad, enfatizando las tradiciones culturales y los beneficios terapéuticos de la creatividad.

6. Justicia Ambiental: Un compromiso con la sustentabilidad, con plantas nativas, plantas medicinales tradicionales y jardines comestibles. El diseño debe recuperar y restaurar espacios naturales históricamente tomados de las comunidades BIPOC.

7. Centro de aprendizaje permanente: Un centro para el aprendizaje intergeneracional y el desarrollo profesional, que ofrece apoyo académico, capacitación en habilidades para la vida, educación profesional/técnica y recursos para alfabetización, preparación para el GED y certificaciones.

8. Espacios de reunión comunitaria: Espacios flexibles diseñados para fomentar la interacción comunitaria, las reuniones y la conexión intercultural. Apoyo para eventos, celebraciones y actividades compartidas liderados por la comunidad.

9. Acceso a computadoras y alfabetización digital: Computadoras en el sitio y educación tecnológica, incluidas clases de codificación, accesibles para todos los miembros de la comunidad.

10. Acceso, autonomía, rendición de cuentas y justicia: El centro debe ser accesible física y financieramente para todos, y las voces de la comunidad deben ser fundamentales para su diseño y funcionamiento. Un compromiso con la responsabilidad mutua y la justicia para las comunidades desatendidas en Healdsburg.

Daniela G. Domínguez, Psy.D. is an Associate Professor at the University of San Francisco's Counseling Psychology Department and the founder of On the Margins. She specializes in Latinx mental health, antiracism, migrant justice, and trauma-informed care.

Her research focuses on understanding how Latinx communities heal from trauma and access positive health.

She uses critical and political methodologies, grounded in Critical Race Theory, to challenge traditional research, assessment, and evaluation paradigms.

Her work has earned her numerous professional, academic, and community awards.

Addison Pickrell is a Research Associate working at On the Margins and a second-year college student in Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. She specializes in text mining methods for social science, systems thinking and theory, and research justice methodology. Her work focuses on envisioning spaces, systemic change, and cultural shifts that uplift and center marginalized communities. Her work builds on participatory and pluralistic democratic structures, and emphasizes economic, racial, social, educational, and healing justice.

Researchers & Authors — Visioning Sessions
The founders of Goring & Straja Architects set out in 1996, with offices in the San Francisco Bay Area and Milan Italy, to build on their experience working together delivering projects of exceptional quality. They started their careers working for the late William Turnbull in San Francisco and from that grew their passions: creativity, rigor, sustainability, and a commitment to client and community participation. Their expertise ranges from public and other community facilities, hospitality projects and wineries, to retail and higher education. Common threads that weave through their work are a drive to create uplifting, memorable and meaningful designs that are responsive to their clients’ needs, an inclusive and open design process, a commitment to leave a positive mark on communities where they have worked, and to touch the land and the environment as gently and as positively as possible.

Carducci Associates combines creative and technical ability in landscape architecture, planning and urban design. They have worked with the City Healdsburg on Giorgi Park, Recreation Park, West Plaza, Saggio Hills Park, and previous planning studies for the Healdsburg Community Center. They focus on clients’ needs, creating opportunities for connections between people and nature. They design landscapes that express an artistry and sensitivity to the interaction of social and natural systems, are purposeful, buildable and sustainable.

92 Dedication
This report is dedicated to the residents of Healdsburg, whose generous contributions of time, talent, and diverse experiences made the Healdsburg Multicultural Center Project possible.

Funding
This transformative project would not have been possible without the generous support and commitment of Providence Health. Their dedication to improving community health and wellbeing is evident in their attention to and significant investment in the Healdsburg Multicultural Center Project.

Acknowledgment
Healdsburg is located on the unceded ancestral lands of the Southern Pomo people. We acknowledge their enduring presence and profound connection to this place, recognizing them as the original stewards of the land. We are committed to honoring their legacy and supporting their inherent sovereignty. This commitment necessitates actively dismantling the ongoing legacies of colonization and systemic oppression, including settler colonialism, patriarchy, and white supremacy – forces that continue to perpetuate injustice.
