He explained that Ordinances #499 and #488 had previously been presented in 2018 but were never properly codified. Staff recommends that the two Ordinances be combined and the previous versions be waived. If the Council finds this action acceptable, the procedure would be to hold a first reading and public hearing of Ordinance #499 and disregard Ordinance #488. The proposed Ordinance will disallow long-term parking on City streets by regulating the distance at which vehicles must be relocated.

Through assessment of activity in the City and Ordinances from other cities, staff determined that a half mile may be effective in deterring minimal compliance. In addition, the Ordinance will disallow vehicle parking on lawns or unimproved surfaces in residential zones.

The Public Hearing was closed at 7:02 PM.

Mr. Wells addressed items c. and d. concurrently, as it was appropriate for the situation. He explained that the amended Ordinances were not finalized and proposed that the first reading and Public Hearing be postponed for the next meeting. Staff recommends that Ordinances #491 and #493 be integrated and approved at the following meeting, being that they both address cargo containers.

f. Discussion/Related Action Regarding a Proposal for Text Messaging Communication Services Between the City and its Residents Yvette Rios, City Clerk Ms. Rios described the functions of the presented text messaging service from the platform, TextMyGov, which is a two-way communication service between the City and its residents. The platform utilizes the basic text messaging application that is installed in every phone to facilitate communication. The platform is partnered with USPS to purchase a phone number database and residents not reached through this service may voluntarily opt-in. Ms. Rios explained that she allowed TextMyGov to present to her because the service seemed as though it could potentially fill recently noted gaps in public communication. Ms. Rios invited John Kenna, Account Executive for TextMyGov, to virtually attend the meeting and give a presentation on the service. Mr. Kenna explained that residents could report information, receive information, and receive alerts through TextMyGov. Mr. Kenna demonstrated finding information and answered questions for the Council.

Some Council members were in favor of the service because it would allow the City to engage in modern communication, while others felt that the gap in communication could be addressed without a third party. Direction was given to staff to pursue information from neighboring cities to learn if they have utilized texting services. Mr. Goodsell mentioned that SCAG delegates may also confer with governments at the upcoming conference.

Setback Requirements in Downtown Zones
ISSUE:

Shall the City Council approve Resolution No. 24-14, accepting an amendment to the Holtville Municipal Code to regulate Use of Cargo Containers and Signage in the Downtown Zone? DISCUSSION:

In 2020, pursuant to numerous requests and repeated resistance to the restrictions of the Downtown Code with respect to setbacks that were/are virtually impossible to meet, and signage restrictions that were also very unpopular with development, Ordinance 496 was crafted to ease some of those requirements. The measure was not properly codified, so it needs to be reintroduced to properly have it added to the Holtville Municipal Code.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no significant fiscal impact.

CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council reauthorize and approve the ordinance.

ALTERNATIVES:
1 - Accept the ordinance as written, adopting all included language 2 - Amend the language of any portions presented.
3 – Take no action, allowing the status quo to remain.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 24-15 Ordinance 488 Amending Residential Parking Regulations (Lawn Parking & Prohibition of Street Parking in Excess of 72-Hours) ISSUE: calling for an election to be conducted by the
Shall the City Council approve Resolution No. 24-15, adopting Ordinance 488 dealing with Stopping, Standing or Parking of Vehicles on Public Streets and on Residential Property? DISCUSSION:

Over the past several years, it is easy to identify a proliferation of travel trailers, toy haulers and other recreational vehicles in the area. Although certain long-standing ordinances would seem to regulate their storage in residential neighborhoods, they have increased in number in back yards, driveways and on residential streets throughout Holtville.

The current ordinance for all vehicles parked on City streets states that:
“It is unlawful for any person to park or leave standing, or cause to be parked or left standing, any vehicle upon any highway, public street, or alley in the city for 72 or more consecutive hours.” (Ord. 286 § 1, 1964; Ord. 235 § 10.1, 1956).

In some cases under these terms, vehicle owners have decided that moving vehicles incrementally prior to the 72-hour regulation expiring is technically sufficient to avoid citation. It is unclear whether that logic has been tested locally.

Pursuant to multiple resident complaints regarding the danger presented by decreased visibility due to the high profile of many of these vehicles, staff took note of the problem and found it to be fairly widespread, though particularly concentrated in a handful of locations around the City.

Subsequently, ICSO officers were asked to pay particular attention to the issue. In the last several months, multiple warnings were given, over 20 citations issued, and more than a dozen vehicles towed. Unfortunately, although several trailers were moved to legal storage areas, many vehicles remain stored on the street, with individuals using the slight movement ploy to keep them on the street.

Staff researched other city ordinances on the subject and determined that the potentially most effective measures contain a provision that requires relocation of the vehicle a prescribed longer distance to avoid citation. Although that distance may require some deliberation, it is presented herein as a half mile.

In 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance 488, which disallowed parking of vehicles in residential zones on areas identified as lawns or otherwise unimproved surfaces at the front of the property (See attached). The measure was not properly codified, so it needs to be reintroduced to properly have it added to the Holtville Municipal Code. 04/22/24

Ordinance 488 Residential Parking Restrictions

Page 2 ends

Additional language in that measure prohibits trailers, toy haulers, etc. from parking within 50 feet of an intersection, which addresses another primary concern expressed by residents concernedabout those types of vehicles.

As the proposed action to bolster the 72-hour parking restriction would be in the same code section as what was previously addressed in Ordinance 488, staff presented them together.

Both were deemed appropriate and acceptable to Council, so it was requested that staff combine them into one action, which is what is presented now.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Although there would be some amount of citation revenue generated, there is no significant fiscal impact.

CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council approve the new ordinance.

ALTERNATIVES
1 - Accept the ordinance as written, moving forward passage of all included language 2 - Amend the language of one or both portions presented. 3 – Take no action, allowing the status quo to remain.

ISSUE: calling for an election to be conducted by the
Shall the City Council accept the Rate Increase proposed by the City's contract Solid Waste Hauler Solid Waste hauler, CR&R, Incorporated?
DISCUSSION:

Since October, 2010, the City of Holtville has contracted with CR&R, Incorporated as the exclusive Solid Waste Hauler for residential and commercial service within the City limits. Starting with that original contract, the arrangement has been extended in 2015 and again in 2022. We are currently committed to a 3-year contract with an option to extend the arrangement for another 5 additional years.

A basic component of the contract that was negotiated was/is an annual increase tied to multiple cost factors. CR&R is proposing a modest 2.5% increase to basic service. Staff has reviewed the request and, given the current financial climate, have deemed that fair and acceptable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Although the City itself does not pay a fee for trash service, local residents and small businesses will see a fee increase of approximately $.56 per month.

CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the proposal be accepted as presented.

ALTERNATIVE:
1 - Approve the proposed increase.
2 - Request a reduction or elimination of the increase from CR&R. 3 - Give staff alternate direction to proceed.

WATER ENTERPRISE
Rate Study – The profitability of the Water Enterprise has been problematic in recent years. Coupled with the debt covenant to budget a net revenue of 120% of the annual debt service, a rate adjustment has been explored. A formal Water Rate Study must be completed, which will be brought back for discussion at some point in the future.

PUBLIC WORKS

TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS
East Ninth Street Sidewalk Improvements – The City was awarded CMAQ money to complete this project through Caltrans and ICTC. Holt Group completed design on the project in late 2023. Staff worked with LAFCo, the County and a private landowner to finalize jurisdiction and easements in the project area.

SB1 funding was allocated to this and the West Ninth project in July, 2023. Advertising to procure contractors was run in January and Nicklaus Engineering (NEI) was selected as the RE/CM for the project.

A project kickoff meeting was held in early March with NEI, THG and staff to discuss issues and responsibilities. The construction bid opening was held on Tuesday, February 13, 2024, with a low bid actually coming in below the projected project cost. A request was made to Caltrans to reallocate some of the funding to cover some non-construction costs. Contract documents have been completed by the contractor and counter signed by the City. A previously agreed upon administrative course of action to annex a small strip of the project from the County into the City is now requiring a more formal process. The CM met with the County CEO and Public Works Director to finalize all of the required paperwork, which will now need to go through a formal process with LAFCO. This has put the project on hold for a few weeks.

Pear Canal Undergrounding/Ninth Street Improvements (Olive to Melon) – this project has been discussed for some time. Initial action to proceed was taken in early 2021. A deposit was forwarded to IID to begin design and multiple site visits with staff, the IID and City Engineer took place to discuss issues that need to be addressed in design. Undergrounding work was scheduled to take place in December 2021, however, delays were discussed in those meetings from the IID side which eventually led to construction work being pushed back. The City has been awarded funding through ICTC for the resulting necessary sidewalk and roadway improvements, however that funding will not be available until at least October, 2023, so this is not an issue from our standpoint. A conversation with Mr. Hawk revealed that he is waiting for this project to take place to begin construction of his adjacent housing project. LC Engineering was awarded the contract for design in February.

A construction challenge for IID existed for this project, as it would make it difficult to continue to service several nearby County-area residences served by surface water. It was determined that incentivizing these properties to convert to City water would be in the best interest of the project. Staff worked with IID on companion communication to those residents to encourage them to switch. At one point, IID had identified that only two properties remained that needed conversion, but staff met with them in July, 2023, and they agreed to convert to City service! City staff has worked with IID staff to double check total compliance (2 more residences were discovered that need to be contacted) and is working with a local contractor to estimate the cost of installation. Staff renewed attempts to contact the remaining residents. One of the 2 has now expressed an interest in starting City water service. In March, the final remaining holdout submitted paperwork to connect to City water service, so staff is working with IID to get the project reinitialized.

Separately, staff met with a contractor to establish physical connections. The CM met with IID personnel to discuss all of the final issues necessary to get the project moving again. The CM met with Mr.

Hawk regarding necessary access and land use during the project today. He is understandably open to assisting in any way necessary.

Pine Avenue Sidewalks – Subsequent to the awards of funding for streets projects utilizing Federal Highways dollars through ICTC in early 2022, another year of projects was quickly requested to be added.

Holtville submitted a project to capture CMAQ dollars to add sidewalks to either side of Pine Avenue between Fourth and Fifth Streets. Action to approve was taken in October, 2023.

PARKS
Holtville Wetlands Project – In late 2016, approximately $3 million was granted to the City through the US Bureau of Reclamation (BoR). THG was selected for Grant Administration tasks and George Cairo Engineering (GCE) for design services. GCE was significantly behind schedule from the outset, but finally produced approved plans in 2021.

A construction RFP was released in early 2022 netted only one bid, which was significantly over (+/- $1.4 million) the construction budget. The BoR representative, Jeremy Brooks, was extremely helpful in moving the project along. In September, 2022, he was able to secure funding to bridge the gap to pay for construction.

That funding was officially awarded in early February, 2023. Action to officially award the construction contract was taken in March and a pre-con meeting was held in early May, with the contractor onsite performing various activities simultaneously.

The site has now been fully constructed with regard to major earth work, piping and the inlet headworks, however there remains a holdup with a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). We await approval to tap into the River and begin the process of populating the beds with plant species.

When awaiting the ACE permit drug on, the project grant end date was looming on January 30. BoR was aware of the issue, but staff officially requested an extension in January, which was granted. The new completion deadline has been pushed to September, 2024. THG completed work on an additional set of documents requested by USACE and met with their representative in March. Although the application was not immediately accepted, he gave some positive feedback that things are on the right track and suggested a short list of fixes. Adrian from THG has now resubmitted the amended application, but had been unsuccessful reconnecting with USACE to try to finalize the permit until late last week. A meeting is now scheduled for late next week to review the resubmitted application documents.

Railroad Trestle Repair – A grant was secured from the California Natural Resources Agency to repair the railroad trestle burned in a river bottom fire several years ago. This is necessary to connect the Trail to east side of the river and eventually the future Wetlands area. After over a decade and a half of being somewhat unsightly and unusable, the trestle will soon be fixed cosmetically and usable for pedestrian and non-motorized traffic. Documentation was finally signed for this grant in late October, 2021. The City 3 City Council/CM Reports (04-22’24)
Engineer completed the technical specification for the Scope of Work in June 2022 for the RFP. A decision was made to forestall the bid process a bit to allow construction costs to stabilize. An extension was secured in early October from the funding agency to allow this extra time. Kleinfelder, Inc., was selected for Design services in April. A meeting with the design team was held in early May wherein various facets of the project were discussed. Mayor Ward volunteered to sit in on meetings for this project when possible, so she and staff met with the design team via Zoom to discuss preliminary design concepts. Multiple ideas to control costs and stretch the project dollars were decided upon. Staff has continued to meet with the design team.

Mayor Ward and the CM have proceeded with the general direction of keeping the original character of the structure, while making concessions to keep costs under control.

Staff checked in with the Design Engineer in late December. At this point, most of the structural work has been completed, with additional work needed on ancillary elements such as landscaping and the proposed picnic area. A January update meeting between the Design team, the City Planner and the CM revealed that the project had stalled due to a needed topographical study that the consultant thought the City would provide. After discussion, Kleinfelder engaged a local consultant to produce the document and the project is back in motion. Preliminary plans were recently submitted for review. Other than requesting a reprioritization of the elements to be completed vis a vis available funding, the project is once again progressing and starting to take definitive shape.

At the SCAG event in May, 2022, the City Manager had multiple discussions about a Trail extension from the Trestle to the Country Club area, then to the UC Research station and eventually to Hwy 111 for easier access to IVC with active transportation funding options. The idea was well-received and staff will be meeting with other agencies about the concept in the future. Subsequently, the head of Public Works for the County was brought in and he was enthusiastically supportive. This will be explored in a future Active Transportation funding cycle. Discussions regarding this project ramped up again recently with a new round of Active Transportation funding coming up soon.

Mellinger Alamo River Trail - A grant application through River Partners, a non-profit that deals in habitat restoration, for a project that would include our Wetlands trail spur, was unsuccessful in 2022, but a reapplication recently received approval. RP met with the City Manager and toured the site this week to kick off the project. They are in discussion with Nicklaus Engineering to design the project. Staff was contacted by NEI in March to discuss design elements. River Partners staff met briefly with the CM a few weeks ago while in town to do a physical “scouting” trip to decide a best path for the trail extension. We expect to meet with them and the design engineer soon to discuss.

ADMINISTRATION
Financial Audit – Multiple challenges with the new accounting software have delayed work on the City’s annual financial audit. This will impact the submission of the Single Audit of Federal funds, due March 31, however the Finance Department continues to work to rectify the issue. Trial balances were finally submitted last week with some immediate questions which will be addressed.

Capital Improvements Project Listing – a meeting was held in November with staff, including the City Manager, City Engineer, City Planner and Water/Wastewater Lead Operator to discuss long term capital improvements needed in the City. Water system improvements, sewer system upgrades, streets projects and other issues were discussed and expected to be further explored. A more complete detailing of the discussion will be presented to the Council in the near future.

Public Safety Lot/New Construction – Rubio Medina of Irvine, California was engaged in April,2023, to perform Architecture services to design Phase I (Fire Apparatus Bay) and Phase II (PS Administration & Fire Dormitories) of this project. Staff met with Mr. Medina multiple times in early May and iterative documents were discussed and revised. Pursuant to discussions between Chief Silva, the CM and Mr. 4 City Council/CM Reports (04-22’24)
Medina regarding configuration, direction solidified for constructing a 3-bay apparatus section and a 2-story administration/residence area. Further discussion also clarified the placement of the building on the site.

Chief Silva continues work with Mr. Medina on design elements. Council had discussion regarding the external motif of the building, which moved on to the subcommittee for the project. Feedback was provided to the architect and he was very open to incorporating ideas presented. A meeting was recently held to present updated design palettes to the subcommittee last week. Mr. Medina has some exciting ideas and is welcoming input as the project progresses. Mr. Medina is now moving forward with subconsultants for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc. Due to an increase in the size of the project over that which was called out in the RFP, the architect has approached the City about augmented funding, which will be brought to Council in May.

Multiple conversations regarding augmented funding have taken place with staff, Mayor Anderson, and various entities. Some very positive leads have developed that will continue to be pursued.

BUILDING DEPT - The City issued 35 building permits in 2024. A list of permits pulled by month is available on the City’s website at http://holtville.ca.gov/section.php?id=73.

Melon, LLC Housing Project (± 50) – A project has been in the works for some time at the northeast corner of Ninth and Melon, just outside the City limits. After years of confusion regarding the process, the project’s ownership group, led by John Hawk, engaged Development Design & Engineering in 2016 to assist in shepherding the project along. DD&E completed CEQA compliance and a Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted by the Planning Commission and City Council in late 2020.

The project was presented at Planning Commission in October 2020 and drew a good deal of public opposition. PC action pushed the project forward with a designation of allowing R-1 or R-2 development, with Council accepting the PC recommendation in November, 2020. The more dense R-2 zoning designation would allow up to 8 units per acre or approximately 65 units. The annexation was approved by LAFCo in February, 2021. We await further submission from the project proponent.

Staff spoke with Mr. Hawk multiple times to remind him that there are still several requirements to move his project forward, which he could be doing concurrently with the preparation and construction of the IID and City improvements. He said he will be speaking to his partners. As the undergrounding and street work are imminent, he still needs to produce a site plan, building plans, pull permits, etc. The City’s project should now have no bearing on his timeline. This was reiterated to Mr. Hawk again in January.

AMG Sunset Rose Senior Apartments (± 33) – In July, 2022, the City was granted HOME funding for this AMG & Associates apartment project, proposed in the area of Third and Grape. This will create some longterm oversight by the City, but it does continue to add housing. A subdivision map was approved for the property. A consultant to administer this grant was engaged in May, 2022, and an application for additional subsidized financing was approved by the City in late November.

A pre-submittal meeting was held in early November to discuss necessary aspects to the construction with the project proponent, including offsite improvements. Much of the discussion centered on handling stormwater. Final map and the necessary proposed lot split were approved in late February as well. Since the closing of the financing, several paperwork/compliance issues cropped up that the City was left to work on. This was not the “deal” as originally presented, so staff sought assistance. Staff met with HCD representatives on this project in October. We are hoping they will assist in working with the contractor to get the project running more smoothly.

Start was delayed as construction bids came in significantly over projections. The developer has now made a draw down on funding, however, the ownership group has been somewhat unresponsive as the project continues to sit in limbo.
5 City Council/CM Reports (04-22’24)
AMG Pine Crossing Apartments – Staff has been notified by AMG, that the mirror image project across from Fern Crossing will be starting up, with plan submittal expected soon. The Building Inspector coordinated a meeting with a firm to perform the plan check, of whom the City Engineer approved.

Peri & Sons Ag Labor Housing (66) – this project was introduced to Planning Commission earlier this week. It proposes to construct USDA-approved dormitory style housing for up to 660 H2A Visa Program agriculture laborers working for the applicant firm. PC approved the site plan and density waiver contingent on City Council approval of the land use designation and Conditional Use Permit. A Public Hearing was held at the last City Council meeting and the project was approved. We will now await more definitive site plans and building design for review.
