12 STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of July 8, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Dante Hall, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Eibleis Melendez, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Mandatory Garbage/Solid Waste Disposal – Delinquent Accounts RECOMMENDED ACTION:

2.01 to 5-2.16, Mandatory Garbage/Solid Waste Disposal.

BACKGROUND:

Municipal Code Sections 5-2.01 to 5-2.16, Mandatory Garbage/Solid Waste Disposal, require all property owners of occupied premises in the City to subscribe to, and pay for, garbage collection service through Richmond Sanitary Service, the City’s franchised refuse collector. Collection charges that are delinquent in a six-month period are subject to the notice and hearing process defined by the Code. This process ultimately results in an assessment lien against the property for which service was rendered to cover the delinquent garbage collection charges, penalties and City costs. The lien is placed on said property and the assessment is collected either through escrow when the property is sold or by the City with its regular property tax allocation from the County. The Collector, in turn, receives payment for the delinquent fees and charges from the City.

The procedure specified by the Code for the collection of these fees and charges is as follows:

1. The Collector sends notification to the affected property owners regarding the delinquency and the City lien process.

2. The Collector submits delinquent accounts report to the City, Attachment 2.

3. Section 5-2.09 c of the Hercules Municipal Code requires the City to mail a notice of the public hearing date to the owners listed on the report not less than 10 days prior 25-193
13 to the hearing. This notice was mailed to delinquent property owners on June 24, 2025.

4. The City Council confirms the delinquent accounts report and orders placement of liens on said properties and special assessment upon property taxes by resolution.

5. By August 10th of each year, the City Council approves the final assessment levy and the confirmed report is submitted to the County Auditor for inclusion on the property tax rolls.

ANALYSIS:

At the July 23, 2019 City Council meeting, the Council gave direction to staff to meet with Republic Services to discuss reducing the number of these public hearings from 3 times per year to 2 times per year. City staff met with representatives of Republic Services on August 13, 2019 and determined that the months of February and July would best meet the needs of both parties to get liens placed for delinquent accounts on the tax roll.

Richmond Sanitary Service has submitted a report listing all the delinquent accounts subject to lien proceedings and has provided the required notice to property owners.

Attachment 2 is the list of unpaid charges for waste collection services provided between January 2025 – April 2025. At the time the list was received, Richmond Sanitary Services Preliminary Lien List Report lists 87 accounts totaling $38,334.01. The attached report shows the billing and service addresses of the subject property, the date that each account became at least six month delinquent, the amount due for the delinquent garbage collection service, the amount of administrative charges due to the City and the total amount due and to be placed as a lien against the property. Richmond Sanitary Service has confirmed that all required notices and billings have been mailed to this list of property owners.

The Finance Director may make revisions or corrections to the report as deemed necessary.

Vacant premises or billing errors, which can be substantiated, are examples of circumstances that the Council might want to consider in the process of reviewing the report.

The report must then be confirmed by resolution of the City Council.

A certified copy of the report will be filed with the County Recorder’s Office for the placement of special liens against the respective parcels. Any payments made on these delinquencies after the date on the Preliminary Lien List and/or after the City Council public hearing, but prior to this filing date, will be deleted from the list and not filed with the County Recorder’s Office.

FISCAL IMPACT:

In addition to the fees owed to Richmond Sanitary Service (the Collector), the City has the authority, as outlined in the Code, to implement reasonable administrative charges. To account for the costs associated with the lien process, an administrative charge of $30 will be applied to each delinquent account. This charge is comparable to that charged by the other cities in West County, and notice of this charge has been provided to the affected property owners. The revenue generated from this fee will be utilized to cover staff time and other related expenses associated with processing these delinquencies. 14 ATTACHMENTS:

2. 25-190
34 STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of July 8, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Dante Hall, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Timothy Rood, AICP, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Third Amendment to Contract #14-008 with Contract Costa County for Building Inspection and Planning Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

BACKGROUND:

In February 2014, the City entered into an agreement (Attachment 2) with Contra Costa County’s Conservation & Development Department for Building Plan Check and Inspection Services, Code Enforcement Services, and Planning Services, with hourly billing rates set for Fiscal Year 2013-14. The agreement does not have an expiration date but can be terminated by either party with a 30-day notice. The City has since updated its Master Fee Schedule to reflect that the City has adopted by reference the Contra Costa County Conservation & Development Department Fee Schedule for building permits and inspections, available online at:
https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/62479/Land-DevelopmentFee-Schedule-PDF?bidId= For typical building permits, the scheduled permit and inspection fees are split between the City and the County per the agreement. However, occasionally City staff may wish to call upon the services of County staff on an hourly basis to assist in such tasks as assessing damage and identifying needed repairs for severe code enforcement cases. In these instances, the County bills the City for its services based on time spent at the applicable hourly rate as set by the Agreement.
25-190
35 The City still calculates and collects various impact fees as applicable related to new construction projects. The hourly billing rates do not include the impact fees.

The hourly billing rates for County staff for tasks outside of the typical permitting and inspection process were first established in the original 2014 Agreement and subsequently updated by the City Council in October 2017 with approval of Amendment 1 to the contract (Attachment 3), which specified hourly billing rates through Fiscal Year 2019-20. The next contract amendment to update the hourly billing rates was approved as Amendment 2 (Attachment 4) which revised DCD Hourly Billing Rates for 2020/21, 2021/2022, 2022/23.

ANALYSIS:

On May 12, 2025, Contra Costa County contacted City staff with an updated rate schedule for review and approval which will cover the new hourly rates for 2024-25, 2025/26 and 2026/27 (Attachment 5). The County Board of Supervisors approved the agreement on June 10, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fees charged by the County only affect work specially requested by the City and do not affect the regular building permit inspections, which are paid directly from collected building permit fees. A portion of administrative fees collected by the County will continue to be returned to the City to assist with offsetting some of these charges and other direct costs to the City associated with providing Community Development services, such as front counter coverage, occasional building inspection services and oversight of the building inspections.

AUTHORIZING THIRD AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT #14-008 APPROVING UPDATED HOURLY BILLING RATES FOR FY 2024/25, 2025/26 AND 2026/27 FOR

BUILDING INSPECTION AND PLANNING SERVICES PROVIDED BY CONTRA COSTA COUNTY.

WHEREAS, on January 28, 2014, the Council approved Resolution 14-008 authorizing the Interim City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with Contra Costa County to provide building inspection and planning services to the City of Hercules; and
WHEREAS, on February 11, 2014, the Council approved modifications to its Master Fee Schedule to incorporate by reference the County’s Building Permit fees (which the County amends from time to time) and approved a Contract for Services with the County for building inspection and planning services with hourly billing rates set at FY 2013/14 fees; and
WHEREAS, on October 23, 2017, the Council approved, as Amendment 1 to the original contract (#14-008), an updated hourly billing rate schedule from Contra Costa County for 2017/18, 2018/19 and 2019/20; and
WHEREAS, on March 23, 2021, the Council approved, as Amendment 2 to the original contract (#14-008), an updated hourly billing rate schedule from Contra Costa County for 2020/21, 2021/22 and 2022/23; and
WHEREAS, on May 12, 2025, Contra Costa County requested that the City Council approve, as Amendment 3 to the original contract (#14-008), an updated hourly billing rate schedule for 2024/25, 2025/26 and 2026/27 (Exhibit A); and WHEREAS, on June 10, 2025, Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors approved Amendment 3; and
WHEREAS, contract 14-008 generally provides for compensation through building inspection fees, but on occasion hourly rates are charged for services outside a regular building permit; and
WHEREAS, adoption of Amendment 3 and the updated Exhibit A to the Contract would increase hourly fees in very infrequent circumstances when requested services are provided outside regular building plan check and inspection services; and WHEREAS, a portion of administrative fees collected by the County will continue to be returned to the City to assist with offsetting costs associated with City staffing of the Community Development front counter, occasional building inspection services of 37 part-time or contract employees, and oversight of the building inspection function by the Community Development Director; and
WHEREAS, the billing rates are based on a contract for services and do not affect the City’s Master Fee Schedule and therefore no public hearing is required.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Hercules as follows:

1. The City Council hereby authorizes the execution of the Third Amendment to the existing Contract #14-008 with Exhibit A updated to reflect the new billing rates for FY 2024/25, 2025/26 and 2026/27 for hourly services specified therein.

The foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Hercules held on the 8
th day of July 2025 by the following
vote of the Council:

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of July 8, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Dante Hall, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Tim Rood, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: MOU for Development of a Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan through the Ocean Protection Council Senate Bill 1 Grant Program RECOMMENDED ACTION:

DISCUSSION:

In 2021, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 1 (“SB 1”) into law, which directs the State to provide funding to local and regional governments to develop sea level rise adaptation plans and implementation projects. In 2022, the California Air Resources Board awarded $37.5 million dollars to the California Ocean Protection Council (“OPC”) to support the implementation of SB

1. In the Budget Act of 2023, OPC received an additional $54.5 million for the continued implementation of SB 1. The State FY 24-25 Budget maintained $77 million in funding for OPC’s SB 1 Sea Level Rise Adaptation Planning Grant Program (“SB 1 Grant Program”), which aims to provide funding for coastal communities to develop consistent sea level rise adaptation plans and projects to build resilience to sea level rise along the entire coast of California and the San Francisco Bay.

In 2023, Senate Bill 272 (“SB 272”) required local agencies lying, in whole or in part, within the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (“BCDC”) to develop a subregional San Francisco Bay shoreline resiliency plan on or before January 1, 2034.

The subregional plan must include use of the best available science, a vulnerability assessment that includes efforts to ensure equity for at-risk communities, sea level rise adaptation strategies and recommended projects, identification of lead planning and implementation agencies, and a timeline for updates. Local governments with subregional plans approved by BCDC will be 25-199
56 2
prioritized for implementation funding. SB 272 also requires BCDC to establish guidelines for the preparation of the subregional plans on or before December 31, 2024. BCDC adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan to comply with SB 272 requirements at its December 5, 2024, meeting.

In March 2024, the County submitted an application to OPC’s SB 1 Grant Program to support the preparation of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan, a sea level rise adaptation plan to ensure the County’s compliance with SB 272. The County intends to coordinate with cities along the County’s shoreline that are vulnerable to sea level rise impacts. The County’s application included a budget allocation for Local Government Subcontractors to support the participation of these cities in the development of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan. At OPC’s June 4, 2024, meeting, OPC approved the authorization to disburse up to $1,499,285 to Contra Costa County for the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan.

Several of these cities now wish to collaborate on the development of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan to ensure consistency across local plans, engagement of all shoreline communities in the planning process, and collaborative implementation efforts. These cities include Antioch, Martinez, Pinole, Pittsburg, San Pablo, and Hercules. The proposed Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) memorializes the collective intent of these cities and the County to develop the Resilient Shoreline Plan in compliance with SB 272.

FISCAL IMPACT:

While the MOU may commit staff time to cooperate with the member jurisdictions and perform review of various materials and other tasks, there are no anticipated fiscal impacts associated with entering into this MOU.

Recitals
A. In 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1 (“SB 1”) into law, which directs the State to provide funding to local and regional governments to develop sea level rise adaptation plans and implementation projects. In 2022, the California Air Resources Board awarded $37.5 million dollars to the California Ocean Protection Council (“OPC”) to support the implementation of SB 1. In the Budget Act of 2023, OPC received an additional $54.5 million for the continued implementation of SB 1. The State FY 24-25 Budget maintained $77 million in funding for OPC’s SB 1 Sea Level Rise Adaptation Planning Grant Program (“SB 1 Grant Program”), which aims 58

to provide funding for coastal communities to develop consistent sea level rise adaptation plans and projects to build resilience to sea level rise along the entire coast of California and the San Francisco Bay.

B. On October 7, 2023, Senate Bill 272 (“SB 272”) was approved by Governor Newsom, which requires local governments lying, in whole or in part, within the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (“BCDC”) to develop a subregional San Francisco Bay shoreline resiliency plan on or before January 1, 2034. The subregional plan must include use of the best available science, a vulnerability assessment that includes efforts to ensure equity for at-risk communities, sea level rise adaptation strategies and recommended projects, identification of lead planning and implementation agencies, and a timeline for updates.

Local governments with subregional plans approved by BCDC will be prioritized for implementation funding. SB 272 also requires BCDC to establish guidelines for the preparation of the subregional plans on or before December 31, 2024. BCDC adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan to comply with SB 272 requirements at its December 5, 2024, meeting.

C. In March 2024, the County submitted an application to OPC’s SB 1 Grant Program to support the preparation of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan, a sea level rise adaptation plan to ensure the County’s compliance with SB 272. The County intends to coordinate with cities along the County’s shoreline that are vulnerable to sea level rise impacts.

D. The Parties wish to collaborate on the development of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan to ensure consistency across local plans, robust engagement of all shoreline communities in the planning process, and collaborative implementation efforts. The Parties recognize that the key to success in adapting to sea level rise will be the coordination of activities across jurisdictional boundaries through collaborative development of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan, which each Party may consider using, as it determines to be appropriate, to comply with SB 272.

E. The Parties wish to memorialize their commitments by means of this MOU.

Understandings

1. Term. The term of this MOU begins on the Effective Date, which shall occur upon execution of this MOU by all eight of the Parties, and this MOU shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest of the following events: (i) April 30, 2027, (ii) the date upon which the Parties submit all completed SB 1 grant deliverables to OPC, or (iii) the date upon which the Parties then party to the MOU execute a document jointly terminating the provisions of this MOU. An individual Party’s obligations under this MOU terminate when the Party withdraws from the MOU in accordance with Section 3.

2. Development of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan a. Cities to Become Local Government Subcontractors. The County is the direct grantee from OPC. As such, the County is the fiscal agent for grant funds and will manage all contracts with subcontractors, including a community engagement partner subcontractor, technical subcontractor, and local government subcontractors. The County is leading the development of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan and will, therefore, be involved in all subtasks described in the SB 1 Grant Workplan approved by OPC. A copy of that 60

Page 4 of 16 ends

approved SB 1 Grant Workplan is attached hereto as Exhibit A. \County responsibilities include but are not limited to leading the community engagement partner and technical subcontractor request for qualifications processes; developing project planning materials (e.g., Project Roadmap, Stakeholder Inventory, Community Education and Engagement Plan); providing input on the strategic update of existing vulnerability assessments; convening the Resilient Shoreline Coalition (“RSC”); consulting with stakeholders (e.g., local government subcontractors, RSC, local tribes, BCDC, Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Committee); preparing for and conducting community workshops; providing input on the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan; and preparing materials for grant reporting. Each City agrees to participate in the subtasks for local government subcontractors described in the SB 1 Grant Workplan approved by OPC. Each City’s responsibilities described in the SB 1 Grant Workplan include but are not limited to supporting a minimum of five community workshops (e.g., identifying stakeholders to invite and assisting in organizing, promoting, and co-hosting workshops); reviewing one or more drafts of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan to ensure compatibility with city planning requirements (e.g., general plans and climate action plans); reviewing other grant deliverables as capacity allows; attending Resilient Shoreline Coalition meetings (maximum of four per year); and ongoing coordination to evaluate progress for grant reporting. All deliverables described in the SB 1 Grant Workplan must be completed no later than April 30, 2027.
b. Single Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan. Through their joint and coordinated efforts under this MOU, the Parties will collaborate to develop a single Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan that, at a minimum, satisfies the requirements of the 61

Page 5 of 16 ends

SB 1 grant agreement with OPC. The Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan must be drafted in a manner that preserves, and does not purport to supersede, the land use authority of each Party within that Party’s jurisdiction. Unless the Parties later agree otherwise, it is intended that the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan will be implemented by each Party within its respective jurisdiction only if that Party chooses to adopt the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan following its completion. The Parties that adopt the final Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan will coordinate their implementation of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing pre-commits any Party to adopting the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan.
c. Cooperation of Efforts. Each Party will designate staff who will endeavor to develop the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan and other SB 1 grant deliverables in an expeditious manner in accordance with the terms of this MOU. d. Financing. The County, as the awardee, will be the fiscal agent for all funds allocated under the SB 1 Grant Program. The funds allocated for local government subcontractors within the OPC SB 1 grant budget approved by OPC will be shared equally among the Cities. In consideration for each City’s performance of its obligations under this MOU in connection with developing the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan and other SB 1 grant deliverables, the County will reimburse each City in the amount of $6,775 once every six months during the term of this MOU. Provided, however, that a City shall not be entitled to any further reimbursement under this Section upon its withdrawal from this MOU, or upon the termination of this MOU, whichever occurs first. 62

Page 6 of 16 ends

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the total of all County payments under this Section to any City shall not exceed $27,100 during the term of this MOU.
e. Approval of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan. The Parties agree that the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan will become effective for the unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County upon its approval and adoption by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, which shall be within its sole discretion to approve. The Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan will not become effective as to any City unless and until the plan is approved by that City’s City Council, which shall be within its sole discretion to approve. This agreement does not prevent any City or third party from using the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan, or any portion of it, as that City or third party determines in order to comply with SB 272.

3. Withdrawal. Any Party shall have the ability to withdraw from this MOU by providing sixty (60) days advance written notice of its intention to withdraw. Said notice shall be given to each of the other Parties.
a. A withdrawal shall not terminate, or relieve the withdrawing Party from, any express contractual obligation to another Party to this MOU or to any third party incurred or encumbered prior to the withdrawal.
b. In the event of a Party’s withdrawal, this MOU shall continue in full force and effect among the remaining Parties.
63

4. CEQA. Nothing in this MOU commits any Party to undertake any future discretionary actions referenced in this MOU, including but not limited to adopting the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan. The Plan will not be adopted by any agency until the adopting party complies with the California Environmental Quality Act and the National Environmental Policy Act.

5. Books and Records. Each Party shall have access to and the right to examine any of the other Party’s pertinent books, documents, papers, or other records (including, without limitation, records contained on electronic media) relating to the performance of that Party’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement, providing that nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to operate as a waiver of any applicable privilege and provided further that nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to give any Party rights to inspect the other Party’s records in excess of the rights contained in the applicable provisions of the California Public Records Act and Contra Costa County Better Government Ordinance.
