IV. REPORT FROM CLOSED SESSION
City Attorney Christopher Diaz stated there was no reportable action from the Closed Session.

City Attorney Diaz provided the following statement in the interest of providing information to the community: On November 30, 2021, Crown Castle submitted a letter to the Town indicating that it was abandoning the approvals on the 13 wireless applications approved by the City Council in the Spring and Summer of 2021. In their letter, Crown Castle notes the Town’s strong regulations as causing increased cost for their wireless project. The Town is both surprised and disappointed in Crown Castle’s decision based on the effort, time, and costs put into this review by the Town residents, the City Council, and Town staff. Although there may be differing viewpoints in the Town on wireless, we can all agree that there is some need for better wireless service in the Town. The Town takes great pride in the regulations the City Council has adopted in an effort to protect the Town and its residents, and that includes the strong regulations on wireless that allow for exceptions when legally appropriate. The Town believes these regulations strike the appropriate balance, are strong, and allow for wireless as detailed in the Town’s recent approval process. The Town is in the process of continuing to review the letter and determining whether it needs to take any next steps.

V. MINUTES: November 8, 2021 and November 22, 2021

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
ITEM SUBJECT: ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE RATES EFFECTIVE FOR JANUARY 2022

FOR THE SOLID WASTE CHARGES - ADOPTION
SUMMARY: The Town undertook a solid waste rate study to review and determine the rates necessary to fund the revenue requirement in its solid waste system starting on January 1, 2022.

The study focused on the funding necessary for the provision of solid waste, composting, and recycling services to customers. The study was conducted by an independent consultant, HF&H Consultants, Inc. Based on HF&H’s Solid Waste Rate Study Report, it has been determined that solid waste rate adjustments and increases are necessary for the Town’s solid waste service charges in order for revenues to align with funding needs including:

1. Aligning the rates (based on size of cart) with the projected cost-of-service: The cart charges are reflecting the actual cost of service for each service level (20-gallon cart, 32-gallon cart, etc.).

2. Covering the projected costs for implementing Senate Bill 1383 Reducing Short-Lived Climate Pollutants in California. SB 1383 passed in 2016 as part of California’s larger strategy to combat climate change. The law was designed to reduce global warming super pollutants like methane, which is up to 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Landfills are one of the largest producers of methane in the state. When organic material breaks down in the landfill methane is generated.

There will be a move away from landfilling organic waste (like food, paper, and yard waste). The Town is partnering with SBWMA, Recology, and San Mateo County to implement the SB 1383 requirements.

3. Covering the projected costs for franchise services and pass-thru tipping fees. The Recology franchise agreement increases based on contractually agreed upon indices. The disposal and processing fees (tip fees) are based on contracts for these services.

The rate increases have been reviewed and presented at public meetings held in August, September, October, and December 2021. The adoption of any new or increases in any existing solid waste charges are subject to the public hearing, notice and majority protest requirements of article XIII D, section 6 of the California constitution (“Proposition 218”). The City Council at its September 13, 2021 City Council approved the mailing of Proposition 218 notices in connection with the procedures the Town will follow for providing the notice and receiving and tabulating written protest to any property-related fees and charges it is proposing to consider adopting. In accordance with Proposition 218, the Town mailed a notice of a public hearing to be held on December 13, 2021, to consider the adoption of proposed increases to its solid waste charges.

The notice was mailed to property owners and account holders directly responsible for the payment of solid waste charges. The Town held the public hearing to consider the proposed solid -27-

waste charges on December 13, 2021, and at the conclusion of the public hearing, information on the number of written protests to the proposed rates received by the Town was announced by the City Clerk. The City Clerk advised that written protests against the proposed rates were not received by a majority of the property owners or tenants of the identified parcels subject to the proposed charges.

Initiative No. 21-0026
On October 1, 2021, an initiative to amend the California constitution was submitted to the Attorney General’s office. If adopted, this initiative would amend portions of the constitution added by Propositions 26 and 218, with portions of the initiative applying retroactively to October 1, 2021.

The Town has traditionally adopted solid waste rates by resolution, and the Initiative would require rates adopted on or after October 1, 2021, to be adopted by ordinance. If adopted, the ordinance would require that the Town come into compliance within 12 months of the Initiative’s effective date, which would likely be some time after November of 2022.

In an abundance of caution, the City Council was presented with both a resolution and an ordinance at the December 13, 2021 meeting. The City Council adopted Resolution No. 21-109 authorizing the solid waste rates, effective immediately for implementation on January 1, 2021.

The City Council introduced the ordinance that also adopts the solid waste rates, in conformance with the Initiative, but would only take effect in the event the Initiative is approved by the California voters in November of 2022. After the close of the public hearing on December 13, 2021, the City Council introduced and waived a full reading of the ordinance. If appropriate, at the January 10, 2022 City Council meeting, the City Council will adopt the ordinance adopting the rates. If adopted, the ordinance will become effective 30 days after its final passage.

FISCAL IMPACT: Revenues are expected to increase by approximately 4.3% for the calendar year 2022.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the increases in the solid waste service charges are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15378 and Section 15273 of the CEQA Guidelines and Public Resources Code Section 21080(b0(8) because (i) the increase charges are for the purpose of meeting operational and maintenance expenses of the aforementioned services and (ii) the charges constitute the creation of a funding mechanism/other governmental fiscal activity which does not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in potential significant physical impact on the environment.

The employee will be compensated at the regular rate as if the employee had worked the entire regularly scheduled shift. For example, if an employee’s eight hour rest break started at 0330 hours, the employee would report for work at 1130 hours and would work until the end of the regularly scheduled shift at 1700 hours. The employee would be compensated for the entire regular shift of 0730 – 1700 hours as if he or she had worked the entire day. Similarly, if an employee responds to an emergency at 2300 hours and continuously works until 1300 hours, the employee will be released for the eight hour rest at 1300 hours and compensated for the remainder of the regularly scheduled shift. Employees who fail to report to work after the rest period are ineligible for this compensation.

Memorandum of Understanding
Public Works and Clerical Unit 20182022-20212024

In each such case the City Manager shall grant such sick leave only when, in his or her opinion, the relationship of the sick or disabled person to the employee warrants such use of sick leave.

Employees who have exhausted said 104 hours of family sick leave may be permitted to use remaining sick days with the approval of the Director, provided they have used their balance of Compensatory Time Off first.

Short Term Disability (This Section applies only to the Maintenance Unit) If an Eligible full-time or part-time Employee is disabled for more than five consecutive business days, the employee may be eligible for State Short-Term Disability Leave (“SDI”). The following summarizes Short-Term Disability Leave:
 There is a five-day waiting period for SDI benefits. The first five consecutive business days absent will be charged to Sick Leave. If the disabled employee does not have enough Sick time to cover the absence, the time not covered by Sick Leave will be charged to any accrued, but unused Vacation, Holiday Leave or Comp Time. If the employee does not have enough accrued time to cover the absence, those remaining hours will be unpaid.
 To apply for SDI benefits, the employee must provide Human Resources with acceptable medical certification from his/her attending physician certifying that the employee is disabled from performing the essential functions of his/her position due to illness or injury. Medical certification must be submitted as the employee’s medical circumstances evolve, or at a minimum at the end of the first, second, and third months of disability, verifying the continued disability and stating the estimated date of return to work. If the employee also qualifies for Family and Medical Leave (FML), the medical certification required for FML will suffice for SDI.
 Once an employee’s application for SDI benefits has been approved, their absence will be charged to disability.
 While on SDI, the disabled employee will receive his/her full salary through a combination of payments from the Town (using accrued leaves) and State Disability Insurance. If the employee does not have any accrued leave to draw on, those hours will be unpaid. If an employee qualifies for state disability benefits, he/she is required to apply for them. Upon receiving your state disability check you must notify Human Resources and we will reduce your paycheck by the amount you receive from SDI. Payroll may call SDI to confirm the amount of the disbursement.
 If the disabled employee also qualifies for Family and Medical Leave (“FML”), SDI will run concurrently with FML.
 Health, Dental, and Vision benefits will continue during SDI, subject to continued payment of any employee contribution toward health insurance premium and continued availability of accrued leave benefits to draw on. -60-

Page 27 of 51 ends

Memorandum of Understanding
Public Works and Clerical Unit 20182022-20212024
 Eligibility for Life, Accidental Death and Dismemberment, and Long Term Disability insurance will continue during SDI.
 Vacation and Sick Leave do not accrue after the first 14 days of SDI.  After the first 14 days of SDI, the disabled employee is not eligible for paid Holidays.
 SDI may continue for up to 90 consecutive days, provided disability continues and appropriate medical certification is provided.
 Upon returning from leave, an employee will be reinstated to the same position held at the time of the leave. An employee has no greater right to reinstatement than if she/he had been continuously employed. For example, if an employee would have been laid off had she/he not gone on leave, or if his/her position has been eliminated during the leave, then she/he will not be entitled to reinstatement.  If a disabled employee returns to work from SDI for 30 days, and is subsequently disabled due to the same serious health condition that caused the first disability, the employee will be required to satisfy a new five-day waiting period and the disability will be treated as a new claim for SDI benefits.  Claims for SDI benefits are limited to one 90 day disability in a 12 month period. 4142. Vacation
Vacation may be taken in increments as determined by the employee. Employees will give seven (7) days’ notice of their intent to take vacation to their Supervisor.

Employees further agree they will report all accidents and safety hazards to the appropriate management official immediately. Any employee having knowledge of or who is a witness to an accident shall give full and truthful testimony as to same.

Safety Program
The Town has established a Safety and Risk Management Committee. The Committee shall have an employee representative from both bargaining units. 5455. Layoff
Whenever, in the judgment of the Town, it becomes necessary to abolish positions, the Town may abolish any position included in the bargaining unit and the employee holding such position may be laid off subject to any bumping rights he or she may have. The Town may lay off employees due to lack of work or funds.

In a reduction in force, employees with the least length of service in the classification shall be laid off first provided that, in the determination of the City Manager, the skill and qualifications of the remaining employees are equal to that of the laid off employee.

Employees to be laid off from a classification shall have a right to bump employees in a lower classification in accordance with seniority with the Town provided that, in the determination of the City Manager, they possess superior skill and qualifications.

Employees affected by a layoff shall retain employment rights in a position previously held in a lower classification and shall revert back to said position with full seniority -69-

TOWN OF HILLSBOROUGH
San Mateo County
1600 Floribunda Avenue
Hillsborough, CA 94010
6 CONSENT CALENDAR

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
JANUARY 10, 2022

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
ITEM SUBJECT: MOTION TO RECONFIRM FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS UNDER RESOLUTION NO. 21-87 AND ASSEMBLY BILL 361 FOR THE CONTINUATION OF VIRTUAL

MEETINGS
SUMMARY: On March 17, 2020, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20 suspending certain provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act in order to allow for local legislative bodies to conduct their meetings completely telephonically or by other electronic means.

The provisions in the Brown Act that were suspended by the Governor’s Executive Order are contained at Government Code Section 54953(b)(3) and require that when teleconferencing is used, outside of a statewide emergency, that the following occur:
• An agenda is required to be posted at all locations, including any teleconference locations • Each teleconference location must be identified on the actual agenda • Each teleconference location shall be accessible to the public • A quorum of the legislative body must be in the jurisdiction With the Governor’s Executive Order, the four above requirements were suspended allowing Councilmembers to not have to post an agenda at their teleconference location, not have to identify their location on the meeting agenda, not have to ensure public accessibility at the teleconference location, and the legislative body did not need a quorum in the jurisdiction. As the City Council is well aware, this allowed the City Council, Administrative Hearing Panel, Architecture & Design Review Board, Citizens Communication Advisory Committee and Financial Advisory Committee meetings to be conducted by Zoom with Councilmembers, board/committee members and staff all joining from remote virtual locations.

The suspension of certain provisions of the Brown Act was further extended by the Governor on June 11, 2021 by the issuance of Executive Order N-08-21 which continued to allow for complete virtual meetings until September 30, 2021.

With the expiration of the Governor’s Executive Order along with the uncertainty that surrounded the Governor’s potential recall, the State Legislature also took the remote meeting issue into its own hands through the adoption of Assembly Bill 361, which is explained in more depth in the Analysis section below.

On October 11, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 21-87, making findings that state or local officials continue to recommend social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID- -87-

19 and including reference in particular to Cal-OSHA regulation 3205 which recommends physical distancing in the workplace. On November 8, 2021, November 22, 2021 and December 13, 2021, the City Council reconfirmed the findings of Resolution No. 21-87. By motion and majority vote, the City Council may renew the findings of Resolution No. 21-87 to continue to hold virtual meetings pursuant to AB 361.

ANALYSIS
On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed AB 361, which allows legislative bodies to meet virtually provided there is a state of emergency declared by the Governor, and either (1) state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; or (2) the legislative body determines by majority vote that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees. The Governor by executive order signed on September 20, 2021, suspended the effective date of AB 361 to October 1, 2021. As a result, if the Town desires to have virtual meetings on or after October 1, 2021, it must do so consistent with the requirements of AB 361.

AB 361 preserves many of the provisions of the earlier executive orders, including the suspension of the four teleconferencing requirements noted above, while also adding new requirements to the management of remote and teleconference public meetings in order to better achieve the levels of transparency that the Brown Act demands. Specifically, AB 361 imposes two new rules on remote public meetings:

1. Local governments and agencies hosting teleconference meetings in lieu of traditional in-person public meetings must permit direct public comment during the teleconference, and must leave open the opportunity for public comment until the comment period for a given item is closed during the ordinary course of the meeting. The opportunity to make public comment must be of a sufficient duration so as to allow actual public participation.

2. Any action by the governing body during a public teleconference meeting must occur while the agency is actively and successfully broadcasting to members of the public through a call-in option or an internet-based service option. If a technical disruption within the agency’s control prevents members of the public from either viewing the meeting of the public agency, or prevents members of the public from offering public comment, the agency must cease all action on the meeting agenda until the disruption ends and the broadcast is restored. Action taken during an agencycaused disruption may be challenged as a violation of the Brown Act.

In order to continue to qualify for AB 361’s waiver of in-person meeting requirements, the City Council must, within thirty (30) days of its first meeting under AB 361, and every thirty (30) days thereafter, make findings that (a) state or local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing, or that (b) an in-person meeting would constitute an imminent risk to the safety of attendees.

The above conditions continue to exist at this time, and staff recommends approval of a motion to reconfirm the findings made in Resolution No. 21-87 so that the City Council and all other Town legislative bodies may continue to meet virtually.
-88-
Agenda Staff Report - Hillsborough City Council
January 10, 2022

Lastly, it is important to note that AB 361 is optional. If the City Council wishes, it may meet in person. In addition, hybrid meetings are permissible.

FISCAL IMPACT: The City Council’s approval of a motion to continue with virtual meetings will maintain the status quo and no financial impact is anticipated by approval of the motion.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: The City Council’s adoption of the resolution is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guideline 15378(b)(5) as it constitutes an organizational or administrative activity of the government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Further, virtual meetings are likely to reduce certain impacts associated with vehicular travel related to in-person public meetings.

ATTACHMENTS: Resolution No. 21-87
PREPARED BY: Christopher J. Diaz, City Attorney
RECOMMENDATION: Approve a motion to reconfirm the findings and determinations made in Resolution No. 21-87, pursuant to Assembly Bill 361, for the continuation of virtual meetings. -89-
RESOLUTION NO. 21-87

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF HILLSBOROUGH MAKING FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS UNDER AB 361 FOR

THE CONTINUATION OF VIRTUAL MEETINGS FOR ALL LEGISLATIVE BODIES WHEREAS, the Ralph M. Brown Act (Gov. Code§ 54950 et seq.) generally requires local agencies meeting via teleconference, including through other virtual or electronic means, to, among other things, provide public access at each location in which members of the legislative body are teleconferencing; and
WHEREAS, the Legislature recently enacted Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361 ), which amended Government Code section 54953 to allow local agencies to meet fully virtually, without fully adhering to the rules otherwise applicable to teleconferencing, during a proclaimed state of emergency if state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; and
WHEREAS, the Governor issued a proclamation declaring a state of emergency on March 4, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, pursuant to section 8625 of the California Emergency Services Act, and this proclaimed state of emergency currently remains in effect; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the Town of Hillsborough has considered the circumstances of the state of emergency; and
WHEREAS, state or local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19, in particular, Cal-OSHA regulation 3205 recommends physical distancing in the workplace generally and regulates a "close contact" defined as being within 6 feet of another under certain circumstances; and
WHEREAS, in order to continue to impose social distancing while holding in-person meetings there is a high likelihood that members of the public would not all be able to be present in the meetings spaces; and
WHEREAS, the continuation of virtual meetings will allow for full participation by members of the public until social distancing recommendations are no longer necessary; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the Town of Hillsborough desires that all Town legislative bodies continue to hold virtual meetings pursuant to AB 361 and Government Code section 54953(e).

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the Town of Hillsborough hereby finds, determines, and resolves as follows:
-90-

1. The City Council has considered the full record before it, which may include but is not limited to such things as the staff report, testimony by staff and the public, and other materials and evidence submitted or provided to it. Furthermore, the recitals set forth above are found to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

2. The City Council and all other legislative bodies of the Town of Hillsborough who are required to hold open and public meetings, shall continue to meet virtually in accordance with Government Code section 54953(e) and without compliance with section 54953(b)(3) based upon the findings and determinations hereby made by the City Council.

3. This resolution shall become effective upon adoption.

This resolution was adopted by the City Council of the Town of Hillsborough at its regular meeting held on the 11th day of October 2021, by the following vote of the members thereof:

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
JANUARY 10, 2022

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
ITEM SUBJECT: ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 16 (“SUBDIVISIONS”) AND TITLE 17 (“ZONING”) OF THE HILLSBOROUGH MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO URBAN LOT SPLITS AND TWO-UNIT AND SECOND UNIT PROJECTS TO IMPLEMENT SENATE BILL 9; AND FINDING THE ACTION TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA – ADOPTION SUMMARY:

Background: Over the past several years, the California Legislature has passed various laws to encourage the development of more residential units throughout the State. On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed Senate Bill 9, Atkins (SB9) and will go into effective for all local jurisdictions on January 1, 2022. The Town responded to this new legislation with an Urgency and Standard Ordinance Update to Title 16 “Subdivisions” and Title 17 “Zoning.” On December 13, 2021, the City Council held a public hearing and introduced to adopt an urgency ordinance consistent with Government Code Section 36937(b) to address SB9. The urgency ordinance went into effect immediately upon adoption by unanimous vote of the City Council. At the same meeting, the City Council introduced and waived further reading of a regular ordinance to address SB9. The final adoption of the regular ordinance was noticed for January 10, 2022.

Discussion:

Typically, any division of land needs to propose new lots that comply with the minimum lot sizes and minimum lot widths required by the Town’s Municipal Code. Compliant with existing State law, the Town’s Municipal Code currently requires any Subdivisions to be reviewed through a discretionary process that includes review of a Conceptual Map, Tentative Map or Vesting Tentative Map, and a Final Map prior to recordation with the County.

Under SB9, the Town’s minimum lot sizes and lot width requirements do not need to be met. SB9 removes many requirements to dividing an existing single-family residential lot from one lot to two lots, including the discretionary review process; local agencies may only impose objective standards on eligible projects.

SB9 requires local jurisdictions to ministerially (staff-level) approve Parcel Maps for the division single-family residential lots into two lots, which are referred to as “SB9 Lot Splits," if the proposed division of land complies with specific requirements as detailed below. An application for a parcel map for an urban lot split is approved or denied ministerially, by the Director of Building and Planning, without discretionary review.

In addition, under SB9 all local agencies must approve certain two-unit projects ministerially (stafflevel) and approve construction of up to two residential units that are equal to or less than 800 -93-
Agenda Staff Report - Hillsborough City Council
January 10, 2022

Page 2 ends

square feet each on all single-family residential lots, whether the lot has been divided or not. An SB9 lot split + an SB9 two-unit project on each of the two new lots could result in 4 total dwellings on a former single-family residential lot.

To qualify for ministerial approval under SB9, the project must satisfy a number of qualifying criteria including, but not limited to the following:

Lot Location:
• The project site is zoned Single Family Residential;
• The project site is not a historic property or within a historic district or land identified for conservation;
• The project site is not an environmentally sensitive area, a hazardous site, within a delineated earthquake fault zone, or within a 100-year flood zone; • The lot to be split was not established through a prior urban lot split; • The lot to be split is not adjacent to any lot that was established through a prior urban lot split by the owner of the lot to be split or by any person acting in concert with the owner.

Additional specific exclusions are outlined Government Code Section 65913.4(a)(6)(B) through (K) Government Code Section and excludes SB9 Lot Splits in areas such as Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ), unless the site complies with all fire-hazard mitigation measures required by existing building standards. For example, if a project includes new SB9 residential units that comply with all fire protection measures required in a VHFHSZ for such construction, the lot could be split under SB9.

The Town’s Municipal Code already requires that all new construction on a lot in a very high fire hazard severity zone must comply with all fire-hazard mitigation measures.

Lot Size/Access:
• The lot to be split must be at least 2,400 square feet; • The resulting lots must each be at least 1,200 square feet; • Each resulting lot must be between 40% and 60% of the original lot area; • Each resulting lot adjoins the public right of way and have frontage on the public right of way of at least 50 feet;
• Each resulting lot can be served by all required utilities; • Each resulting lot can accommodate at least one (or up to two) residential unit(s) of at least 800 square feet (each);
• Lot lines must be proposed in locations that still allow for building code compliance of existing structures.

Setbacks:
• Side/Rear setbacks of 20-feet (except as necessary to allow two units at 800 sq. ft. each; no less than 4 feet);
• Front setback of 30 feet.

Lot Coverage: 50% Maximum lot coverage allowed for total combined hardscape + structural.

No Impact on Protected Housing:

• The project would not require demolition or alteration of any housing that is income-restricted for households of moderate, low, or very low income;
• The project would not require demolition or alteration of any housing that has been occupied by a rental tenant in the last three years.

Parking: Each new primary dwelling unit must have at least one off-street parking space, unless exempt no parking is required for projects within a half-mile walking distance of a high-quality transit corridor or a major transit stop.

Architecture & Landscaping:
• Lot with an existing legal primary dwelling: Any new primary dwelling unit must match the existing primary dwelling unit in exterior materials, color, and dominant roof pitch. • Lot with no existing: If two new primary dwellings are developed on the lot, the dwellings must match each other in exterior materials, color, and dominant roof pitch. • Required landscape screening and limitations on tree removal.

Use: Residential-only. The rental of any unit created must be for a term longer than 30 days (no short-term rentals allowed).

Owner occupancy:
• SB9 lot split - The applicant must sign an affidavit stating that the applicant intends to occupy one of the dwelling units on one of the resulting lots as the applicant's principal residence for a minimum of three years after the urban lot split is approved; • Two-unit project - Individual property owners must occupy one of the dwellings on the lot as the owners’ legal principal residence.

Separate Conveyance Within a Lot: Primary dwelling units on the lot may not be owned or conveyed separately from each other; no condos, no timeshares or separate-use co-ownerships.

Deed Restriction: Required; specifying no short-term rental, non-residential use, or separate conveyance; and that development limited to SB9 projects.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with adoption of the ordinance.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: Under California Government Code sections 65852.21, subdivision (j), and 66411.7, subdivision (n), the adoption of an ordinance by a city implementing the provisions of Government Code sections 66411.7 and 65852.21 (SB9) and regulating urban lot splits and two-unit projects is statutorily exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF HILLSBOROUGH AMENDING TITLE 16 (“SUBDIVISIONS”) AND TITLE 17 (“ZONING”) OF THE

HILLSBOROUGH MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO URBAN LOT SPLITS AND TWO-UNIT AND SECOND UNIT PROJECTS TO IMPLEMENT SENATE BILL 9; AND

FINDING THE ACTION TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF HILLSBOROUGH DOES ORDAIN as follows:

WHEREAS, the Town of Hillsborough, California (“Town”) is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California; and WHEREAS, in 2021, the California Legislature approved, and the Governor signed into law Senate Bill 9 (“SB 9”), which among other things, adds Government Code section 65852.21 and 66411.7 to impose new limits on local authority to regulate urban lot splits and two-unit projects; and
WHEREAS, SB 9 allows local agencies to adopt objective design, development, and subdivision standards for urban lot splits and two-unit projects; and WHEREAS, SB 9 takes effect January 1, 2022, and preempts any conflicting town ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the Town desires to amend its local regulatory scheme to comply with Government Code sections 66411.7 and 65852.21 and to appropriately regulate projects under SB 9; and
WHEREAS, there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare based on the passage of the new SB 9 Law because if the Town does not adopt appropriate objective standards for urban lot splits and two-unit projects under SB 9 as of January 1, 2022, the Town would thereafter be limited to applying the few objective standards that already in its code, which did not anticipate and were not enacted with urban lot splits and ministerial two-unit projects in mind; and
WHEREAS, the approval of urban lot splits and two-unit projects based solely on the Town’s default standards, without appropriate regulations governing lot configuration, unit size, height, setback, landscape, architectural review, among other things, would threaten the character of existing neighborhoods, and negatively impact property values, personal privacy, and fire safety. These threats to public safety, health, and welfare justify adoption of this ordinance as an urgency ordinance to be effective immediately upon adoption by a four-fifths vote of the City Council; and
-97-
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed and considered the public testimony and agenda reports prepared in connection with this ordinance, including the policy considerations discussed therein; and
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the Town of Hillsborough does ordain as follows:

Section 1. The recitals above are each incorporated by reference and adopted as findings by the City Council.

Section 2. Under California Government Code sections 65852.21, subd. (j), and 66411.7, subd. (n), the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of Government Code sections 66411.7 and 65852.21 and regulating urban lot splits and two-unit projects is statutorily exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). Therefore, the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that the proposed ordinance implements these new laws enacted by SB 9.

In addition to being statutorily exempt from CEQA, the proposed ordinance is also categorically exempt from CEQA under the Class 15 exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15315. The Class 15 exemption categorically exempts from CEQA, among other things, the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for residential use into four or fewer parcels.

Section 3. Title 16 “Subdivisions” of the Hillsborough Municipal Code is hereby amended and restated to add Chapter 16.44 “Urban Lot Splits” as provided in Exhibit “A” and Title 17 “Zoning” is hereby amended and restated to add Chapter 17.54 “Two-unit Projects” as provided in Exhibit “B,” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Section 4. This ordinance shall take effect 30 days following its adoption.

Section 5. No less than five days prior to the adoption of this Ordinance, the City Clerk published a summary of this Ordinance in accordance with Government Code section 36933. The City Clerk will certify to the passage of this Ordinance by the City Council of the Town of Hillsborough, California, and cause a summary to be published once within fifteen (15) days after its adoption in accordance with Government Code section 36933.

Section 6. The City Clerk shall submit a copy of this ordinance to the Department of Housing and Community Development within 60 days after adoption.

Section 7. The City Council hereby directs staff to prepare, execute and file with the San Mateo County Clerk a Notice of Exemption within five working days of first reading of this ordinance.

Section 8. If any provision of this ordinance or its application to any person or circumstance is held to be invalid, such invalidity has no effect on the other provisions or applications of the ordinance that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this extent, -98-
the provisions of this ordinance are severable. The City Council declares that it would have adopted this ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any portion thereof.

Section 9. The documents and materials that constitute the record of proceedings on which this Ordinance and the above findings have been based are located at 1600 Floribunda Avenue, Hillsborough, California, in the City Clerk Department. __________________________________

TITLE 16 - SUBDIVISIONS
Chapter 16.44 - Urban Lot Splits

16.44.010 Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to allow and appropriately regulate urban lot splits in accordance with Government Code section 66411.7.

16.44.020 Definition. An “urban lot split” means the subdivision of an existing, legally subdivided lot into two lots in accordance with the requirements of this chapter.

16.44.030 Application.

A. Owners.

1. Only individual property owners may apply for an urban lot split. “Individual property owner” means a natural person holding fee title individually or jointly in the person’s own name or a beneficiary of a trust that holds fee title. “Individual property owner” does not include any corporation or corporate person of any kind (partnership, LP, LLC, C corp, S corp, etc.) except for a community land trust (as defined by Rev. & Tax Code § 402.1(a)(11)(C)(ii)) or a qualified nonprofit corporation (as defined by § 214.15).

2. Each resulting lot must have frontage on the public right of way of at least 50 feet.

J. Unit Standards.

1. Quantity. No more than two dwelling units of any kind may be built on a lot that results from an urban lot split. For purposes of this paragraph, -105-
- 6 -
“unit” means any dwelling unit, including, but not limited to, a primary dwelling unit, a unit created under Chapter 17.54 of this code, an ADU, or a JADU.

2. Unit Size.
a. The total floor area of each primary dwelling that is developed on a resulting lot must be
i. less than or equal to 800 square feet and
ii. more than 500 square feet.
b. A primary dwelling that was legally established prior to the urban lot split and that is larger than 800 square feet is limited to the lawful floor area at the time of the urban lot split. It may not be expanded.
c. A primary dwelling that was legally established prior to the urban lot split and that is smaller than 800 square feet may be expanded to 800 square feet after the urban lot split.

3. Height Restrictions.

-106-
- 7 -
b. Exceptions. Notwithstanding subpart J.5.a above:
i. Existing Structures. No setback is required for an existing legally established structure or for a new structure that is constructed in the same location and to the same
dimensions as an existing legally established structure. ii. 800 sq. ft.; four-foot side and rear. The setbacks imposed by the underlying zone must yield to the degree necessary to avoid physically precluding the construction of up to two units on the lot or either of the two units from being at least 800 sq. ft. in floor area; but in no event may any structure be less than four feet from a side or rear property line. c. Front Setback Area. Notwithstanding any other part of this code, dwellings that are constructed after an urban lot split must be at least 30 feet from the front property lines. Front setback areas must:
i. be kept free from all structures greater than three feet high; ii. be at least 50 percent landscaped with drought-tolerant plants, with vegetation and irrigation plans approved by a licensed landscape architect;

commute periods.
(4) The site is located within one block of a car-share vehicle location.

7. Architecture.
a. If there is a legal primary dwelling on the lot that was established before the urban lot split, any new primary dwelling unit must match the existing primary dwelling unit in exterior materials, color, and dominant roof pitch. The dominant roof slope is the slope shared by the largest portion of the roof.
b. If there is no legal primary dwelling on the lot before the urban lot split, and if two primary dwellings are developed on the lot, the dwellings must match each other in exterior materials, color, and dominant roof pitch. The dominant roof slope is the slope shared by the largest portion of the roof.
c. All exterior lighting must be limited to down-lights. d. No window or door of a dwelling that is constructed on the lot after the urban lot split may have a direct line of sight to an adjoining residential property. Fencing, landscaping, or privacy glass may be used to provide screening and prevent a direct line of sight.
e. If a dwelling is constructed on a lot after an urban lot split and any portion of the dwelling is less than 30 feet from a property line that is not a public right-of-way line, then all windows and doors in that portion must either be (for windows) clerestory with the bottom of the glass at least six feet above the finished floor, or (for windows and for doors) utilize frosted or obscure glass.

a. Each primary dwelling unit on the resulting lots must have its own direct utility connection to the utility service provider. b. Each primary dwelling unit on the resulting lots that is or that is proposed to be connected to an onsite wastewater treatment system must first have a percolation test completed within the last five years or, if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last 10 years.

11. Building & Safety. All structures built on the lot must comply with all current local building standards. An urban lot split is a change of use.

K. Fire-Hazard Mitigation Measures.

1. A lot in a very high fire hazard severity zone must comply with each of the following fire-hazard mitigation measures:
a. It must have direct access to a public right of way with a paved street with a width of at least 40 feet. The public right of way must have at least two independent points of access for fire and life safety to access and for residents to evacuate.

2. Prior to submitting an application for an urban lot split, the applicant must obtain a certificate of compliance with all applicable fire-hazard mitigation measures in accordance with this subpart K. The town or its authorized agent must inspect the site, including all structures on the site, and certify as to its compliance. The certificate must be included with the application. The applicant must pay the town’s costs for inspection.

Failure to pay is grounds for denying the application.

L. Separate Conveyance.

1. Within a resulting lot.

developments are not permitted on a lot that is created by an urban lot split.
c. All fee interest in a lot and all dwellings on the lot must be held equally and undivided by all individual property owners. d. No timeshare, as defined by state law or this code, is permitted.

This includes any co-ownership arrangement that gives an owner the right to exclusive use of the property for a defined period or periods of time.

2. Between resulting lots. Separate conveyance of the resulting lots is permitted. If dwellings or other structures (such as garages) on different lots are adjacent or attached to each other, the urban lot split boundary may separate them for conveyance purposes if the structures meet building code safety standards and are sufficient to allow separate conveyance. If any attached structures span or will span the new lot line, the owner must record appropriate CC&Rs, easements, or other documentation that is -110-
- 11 -
necessary to allocate rights and responsibility between the owners of the two lots.

M. Regulation of Uses.

N. Notice of Construction.

1. At least 30 business days before starting any construction of a structure on a lot created by an urban lot split, the property owner must give written notice to all the owners of record of each of the adjacent residential parcels, which notice must include the following information:
a. Notice that construction has been authorized,
b. The anticipated start and end dates for construction, c. The hours of construction,
d. Contact information for the project manager (for constructionrelated complaints), and e. Contact information for the Building & Safety Department.

2. This notice requirement does not confer a right on the noticed persons or on anyone else to comment on the project before permits are issued.

Approval is ministerial. Under state law, the town has no discretion in approving or denying a particular project under this chapter. This notice requirement is purely to promote neighborhood awareness and expectation.

O. Deed Restriction. The owner must record a deed restriction on each lot that results from an urban lot split, on a form approved by the town, that does each of the following:

1. Expressly prohibits any rental of any dwelling on the property for a period of less than 30 days.
-111-
- 12 -

2. Expressly prohibits any non-residential use of the lots created by the urban lot split.

3. Expressly prohibits any separate conveyance of a primary dwelling on the property, any separate fee interest, and any common interest development within the lot.

4. States that the property is formed by an urban lot split and is therefore subject to the town’s urban lot split regulations, including all applicable limits on dwelling size and development.

5. States that development on the lot is limited to development of residential units under Chapter 17.54 of this code, except as required by state law.

P. Specific Adverse Impacts.

1. Notwithstanding anything else in this chapter, the town may deny an application for an urban lot split if the building official makes a written finding, based on a preponderance of the evidence, that the project would have a “specific, adverse impact” on either public health and safety or on the physical environment and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact.

2. “Specific adverse impact” has the same meaning as in Gov. Code § 65589.5(d)(2): “a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete” and does not include (1) inconsistency with the zoning ordinance or general plan land use designation or (2) the eligibility to claim a welfare exemption under Revenue and Taxation Code section 214(g).

3. The building official may consult with and be assisted by planning staff and others as necessary in making a finding of specific, adverse impact. -112-

5. If the lot is created by an urban lot split: States that the property is formed by an urban lot split and is therefore subject to the town’s urban lot split regulations, including all applicable limits on dwelling size and development.

6. States that development on the lot is limited to development of residential units under Chapter 17.54 of this code, except as required by state law.

L. Specific Adverse Impacts.

1. Notwithstanding anything else in this chapter, the town may deny an application for a two-unit project if the building official makes a written finding, based on a preponderance of the evidence, that the project would have a “specific, adverse impact” on either public health and safety or on the physical environment and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact.

2. “Specific adverse impact” has the same meaning as in Gov. Code § 65589.5(d)(2): “a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete” and does not include (1) inconsistency with the zoning ordinance or general plan land use designation or (2) the eligibility to claim a welfare exemption under Revenue and Taxation Code section 214(g).

3. The building official may consult with and be assisted by planning staff and others as necessary in making a finding of specific, adverse impact. -123-

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
ITEM SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING AS COMPLETE THE CONTRACT WITH D’ARCY & HARTY, INC. FOR THE 2020-2021 SANITARY SEWER REHABILITATION AND REPLACEMENT PROJECT – PHASE 1B IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,393,901.89 SUMMARY: This project included replacement and rehabilitation of approximately 12,500 linear feet of damaged and/or deteriorated sanitary sewer main. The sewer segments are located both within the public right-of-way and easement areas within the Town’s wastewater basin discharging to the City of San Mateo Treatment Plant. Additionally, the project included the rehabilitation of manhole structures and replacement of lower service laterals and cleanouts.

Investigatory and evaluation work for this project was completed in 2019 by Town staff and a consulting engineer. This project was identified as part of a flow reduction program to the San Mateo Treatment Plant and was designed by EKI Environment & Water Inc. Completion of this project will result in prevention of groundwater entering the Town’s sewer system through cracks and broken segments of old clay pipes.

FISCAL IMPACT: The project was awarded to D’Arcy & Harty, Inc. on April 12, 2021, in the amount of $2,185,760.00 with a 10% contingency in the amount of $218,576.00, for a total allocation of $2,404,336.00. During the construction phase of the project, staff determined additional related sewer segments required replacement which were included in the scope. The project, including the additional sewer segments, was successfully completed in the amount of $2,393,901.89 which is below the authorized budget with contingency. Funding was allocated from the approved Capital Improvement Program budget, Priority Basins Inflow & Infiltration Program (#606.47).

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: This action is categorically exempt from CEQA according to Section 15302 of the California Code of Regulations.

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
ITEM SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO AMEND THE EXISTING AGREEMENT WITH TESCO CONTROLS, INC. FOR AS-NEEDED

SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION (SCADA) SYSTEM SUPPORT SERVICES AND APPROVING A FY 2021-22 BUDGET AMENDMENT IN THE WATER FUND CIP #704.21 IN THE AMOUNT OF $298,165.00
SUMMARY: The Town of Hillsborough’s potable water system is a complex system with varying components and topography. The system has 19 separate but interconnected pressure zones with 10 water storage sites, 18 water tanks, and 14 water pump stations. The potable water system is managed and controlled by a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System. The SCADA system also allows the Town to monitor and control its three sanitary sewer pump stations.

The SCADA system facilitates automated controls of the Town's most important infrastructure components and it allows for quick adjustments during crucial times such as weather events, unplanned emergencies, and planned events such as PG&E's Power Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) outages.

On May 10, 2021, the City Council approved an agreement with Tesco, Inc. for as-needed support services for required ongoing maintenance, support, and upgrades for the system's software and hardware in the amount of $100,000 per year. The term of the proposed agreement is two years with the ability to extend the agreement for one additional year upon written mutual consent of both parties.

Since that time, the Town, in coordination with Tesco, Inc., has gained a better understanding of the current SCADA system condition, vulnerabilities, and necessary maintenance and support services. The necessary services include:
• Topview Voice Alarm AutoDialer Conversion
• SCADA Instrument Calibration and Repairs
• Infrared Thermal Scanning and Repairs
• Wonderware Software & Server System Upgrade
• Radio System Study and Repairs
• Cybersecurity Study and Repairs
• SCADA System Training
• 3 Years As-Needed General SCADA Support and Maintenance The necessary repairs and ongoing system support, maintenance, and upgrades are estimated to cost $498,165 over a three-year period. Many of the repairs and services will need to occur within the first and second years and will provide long term solutions for the Town’s SCADA system. After -129-

this initial assessment and the associated upfront costs, the long term continued maintenance support is anticipated to be well under the originally approved budget of $100,000 per year. As such, staff recommends that the existing contract be amended to a total not-to-exceed amount of $498,165 for a three-year term, beginning on the execution date of the original contract.

FISCAL IMPACT: The as-needed SCADA Support Services budget currently has a total of $200,000 allocated for the project from the Water Fund, CIP #704.21. The anticipated cost of the services over the next three years has increased to $498,165 based on an initial assessment of the Town’s SCADA system. To meet budget compliance in FY 2021-22, it is recommended that the City Council approve a budget amendment in the Water Fund CIP #704.21 in the amount of $298,165 for total budget allocation of $498,165 for the SCADA Support Services. The adopted budget has adequate reserves in the Water Fund to support the budget amendment.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: The action is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act according to Section 15301 of the California Code of Regulations.

FOR EMERGENCY SEWER LIFT STATION REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $72,850.00 PLUS A 20% CONTINGENCY IN THE AMOUNT OF $14,570.00, FOR A TOTAL PROJECT COST OF $87,420.00 SUMMARY: On December 9, 2021, the Public Works Department was notified of a failed pump at the sewer lift station at the Police Department at 1600 Floribunda Avenue. Staff immediately solicited qualified contractors to provide an assessment of the issue and a recommended solution for repair. Staff received one written response below. Staff received verbal interest from one other contractor who did not submit a response in writing.

EPS, Inc. - $72,850.00
EPS, Inc. proposed to modify the existing fiber glass tank which was determined to be in reusable condition, replace the two existing pumps, and update associated plumbing and electrical appurtenances as necessary. The Town’s Engineering Division and Sewer Department reviewed the proposal and found these maintenance services appropriate. Staff verified that EPS, Inc.’s qualifications and experience levels are satisfactory. EPS, Inc. has previously completed projects in the Town in a timely manner and with positive results and staff recommends approval of this emergency work.

Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22035, the Town can elect to forgo strict competitive bidding in the event of an emergency provided the Town complies with the procedures set forth in Public Contract Code section 22050. On September 9, 2021, by Resolution 21-77, the City Council unanimously delegated the City Manager the authority to make specified emergency findings and enter into any contracts for the procurement of necessary equipment, services, and supplies without engaging in a competitive procurement process. Whenever the City Manager, or his or her designee, takes emergency action under Public Contract Code section 22050, the City Manager, or his or her designee, shall report to the City Council within seven days or at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council if that meeting will occur no later than fourteen days after the action and at every regularly scheduled meeting thereafter until the action is terminated to determine by a four-fifths vote of the City Council if there is a need to continue the action or until the action is completed.

On December 27, 2021, the City Manager took emergency action under Public Contract Code section 22050 and authorized EPS, Inc. to move forward with scheduling the work. Any delays resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids would endanger the public health, safety and welfare of staff and visitors and additional damage to property at the Town's Police Station.

the past four weeks, Public Works staff have manually monitored alarms on the system, and provided temporary pumping of the below ground tank to allow for continued sanitary sewer operations at the Police Station. The temporary pumping is not sustainable and replacement of the pumps and other sanitary sewer infrastructure is necessary for health and safety.

FISCAL IMPACT: It is recommended funding be allocated from the operations budget for Wastewater Collection – Contractual – General in the amount of $72,850.00, with a 20% contingency in the amount of $14,570.00, if needed, for a total allocation of $87,420.00.

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
ITEM SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR THE CALRECYCLE SB 1383 LOCAL ASSISTANCE GRANT

PROGRAM
SUMMARY: In September 2016, Governor Edmund Brown Jr. set methane emissions reduction targets for California (SB 1383 Lara, Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016) in a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP). The targets must reduce organic waste disposal 50 percent by 2020 and 75 percent by 2025.

The Town of Hillsborough may be eligible for grant funding through the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). The SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program is noncompetitive and will provide one-time funding to local jurisdictions to assist with the implementation of the requirements associated with SB 1383.

Eligible Projects/Products
- Capacity Planning
- Collection
- Edible Food Recovery
- Education and Outreach (includes organic waste and edible food recovery) - Enforcement and Inspection
- Program Evaluation/Gap Analysis
- Procurement Requirements (using recycled organic products - compost, mulch, electricity, and/or renewable gas and recycled paper and paper products)
- Record Keeping
Available Funds
$57,000,000 is available for this grant cycle, FY 2021-22, subject to funding availability.

CalRecycle provided estimated funding amounts; the Town of Hillsborough's estimated funding amount is $20,000.

Project applications must be submitted no later than February 1, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT: Grant funds would cover a maximum of $20,000 of the costs incurred as a result of SB 1383 implementation. The Town would be responsible for covering any program costs above this amount unless other funding opportunities arise.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: The action to authorize the submittal of a grant application is not a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Guideline -137-
Agenda Staff Report - Hillsborough City Council
January 10, 2022

Page 2 ends

15378(b)(4) as it constitutes a governmental fiscal activity which does not have the potential to result in a potentially significant impact on the environment. Further, the implementation of SB 1383 is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15307 and 15308 as an action taken to protect the environment and natural resources.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
JANUARY 10, 2022

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
ITEM SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO

EXECUTE A CONTRACT WITH CENTRAL SQUARE FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

SOFTWARE AND AUTHORIZE THE EXPENDITURE FOR OTHER RELATED MATERIALS

ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $189,670.00
SUMMARY: In FY 2006-07 the Town of Hillsborough purchased new Community Development software, Trakit, created by CRW Associates. The software provided the Town with a platform for Building, Planning, Fire, Police, Public Works, and Engineering to clearly share information.

Over the years CRW has been acquired several times and is now under the name Central Square.

Since FY 2006-07 there have been several upgrades and enhancements but the version the Town is currently using is no longer being supported by Central Square in its current form. With the lack of support of the current version, staff researched options for the future of the community development software. In spring 2020, an RFP was issued and sent to several companies that provide Community Development software for municipalities. After interviewing the top three selections it was decided by staff and the Town's consultant to stay with Central Square and move to a platform more suited to the Town's needs.

The new platform of Trakit from Central Square will be more in line with our digital process. Before the pandemic, the Town processed all applications in person and 100% in paper form. Since spring 2020, the Town has transitioned from paper to 100% digital. The centralized digital platform will increase collaboration between all departments, improve workflow efficiencies, and ensure integrity of information in the database.

The cost breakdown below represents the proposal from Central Square for the transition from the current site-hosted software to a new cloud-based offsite platform. Along with the overall package of upgrades there will be additional licenses purchased to allow more employees to access and utilize Trakit at one time during business hours.
