REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: SEPTEMBER 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CANCELLATION OF DECEMBER 27, 2022 MEETING
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council cancel the regular meeting of December 27, 2022.

BACKGROUND:

The Municipal Code specifies that the City Council shall conduct regular meetings on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Therefore, formal action is required to cancel a meeting.

DISCUSSION:

The City Council has traditionally cancelled the second meeting in December.

City Hall is closed during that week and the meeting date often falls on the Christmas holiday, so staff is not available to attend or prepare the agenda.

Cancellation of the meeting also enables staff and City Council to enjoy the holiday week.

COST ANALYSIS:

There may be a minor savings by reducing the staff time required related to the meeting.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Meeting cancellations are not a “project” for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as they do not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change to the environment or a reasonably foreseeable

Item No. 9 (D)

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: SEPTEMBER 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: OCTAVIO HURTADO, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER RE: CONSIDERATION OF MESA DEL REY AIRPORT TAXIWAY A

REHABILITATION PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended City Council: 1) award the base bid of the Mesa Del Rey Airport (KIC) Taxiway A Rehabilitation Project as proposed by low bidder, Maxwell Asphalt, Inc., in the amount of $129,667, 2) approve the award of contract to Kimley-Horn for construction management services in the amount not to exceed $54,869.47, 3) authorize submittal of application, acceptance of allocation of funds and execution of a grant agreement with Caltrans, including adopting a finding of categorical exemption pursuant to section 15301 of the CEQA guidelines, and 4) authorize City Manager to execute all necessary documents.

BACKGROUND:

Improvement Plans were put out to bid for the Mesa Del Rey Airport (KIC) Taxiway A Rehabilitation Project. The City received funding authorization through a grant agreement from the FAA on July 8, 2022. The project was advertised on March 4, 2022 and bids were opened on April 6, 2022. The City submitted a grant application to the Federal Aviation Administration for the construction phase and was awarded with Airport Improvement Project Grant No. 3-06-0113-020-2022 in the amount not to exceed $184,182.00.

DISCUSSION:

The City received the following bids:

Base Bid Add Alternate
American Road Maintenance $169,609.20 $28,000.00
Maxwell Asphalt, Inc. $129,667.10 $40,848.00

CITY COUNCIL

CONSIDERATION OF MESA DEL REY AIRPORT TAXIWAY A REHABILITATION PROJECT PROPOSED RECOMMENDATIONS, AIP Project No. 3-06-0113-020-2022 SEPTEMBER 13, 2022
PAGE 2 OF 3
The add alternate was to restripe all airport markings not in the scope of the project.

FAA did not approve funding for the add alternate and so it is not part of this project.

The grant agreement was approved for construction and construction management for the rehabilitation of Taxiway A. The City received a proposal from Kimley-Horn to provide construction management for the project in the amount of $54,869.47. As part of the FAA guidelines, an independent fee estimate (IFE) was prepared by J.D. Heithoff, which provided a summary estimate of costs to provide construction management. FAA requires the construction management fee to be within 10% of the IFE.

The Mesa Del Rey Taxiway A has not received surface maintenance in many years.

Cracks have developed, and weeds are growing through them. This has increased maintenance efforts by the Public Works Department. This project has been on the Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) for several years to extend the life of the taxiway and increase safety to the users of the airport.

The project will rehabilitate Taxiway A pavement. Approximately 241,000 SF will be crack sealed, slurry sealed, and re-marked.

COST ANALYSIS:

The total project estimate for the project is $204,646.67. AIP grant recipients contribute a matching percentage of the project costs. The local share is 10 percent. The maximum Federal Grant amount is $184,182. The City is applying for a Caltrans grant in the amount of $9,209.10 to assist with the local match requirement. The difference between the total project cost and the fee proposals will be used to pay for City work, plan review and project administration.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Staff has performed a preliminary environmental assessment of this project and has determined that it falls within the Categorical Exemption set forth in Section 15301 which exempts operation, maintenance or minor alteration of existing structures or facilities not expanding existing uses because this project will rehabilitate the existing asphalt concrete taxiway. Furthermore, staff has determined that none of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines, section 15300.2 apply to this project.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are provided for Council consideration:

1. Approve staff’s recommendations;

2. Reject scope and fee proposals and solicit new bids;

Item No. 9(E)

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: SEPTEMBER 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
BY: ERICA SONNE, CITY CLERK
RE: CONSIDERATION OF 2022 LOCAL AGENCY BIENNIAL NOTICE

ON CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council adopt a resolution making changes to position titles in exhibit A and receive and file the 2022 Local Agency Biennial Notice.

BACKGROUND:

The Political Reform Act requires each city to review its Conflict of Interest Code biennially and notify the City Council as to whether or not the Code needs to be amended. The completed biennial notice must be submitted to the City Council no later than October 3, 2022. The Code was last amended in 2020.

DISCUSSION:

Statements are required in all jurisdictions to be submitted by Council Members, Planning Commission Members, the City Manager, the City Attorney, and the City Treasurer/Finance Director. The designation of other employees and officers is discretionary. Traditionally, the City of King has limited their requirements to the minimal positions established by State law. In 2016 the list was expanded to include all positions that potentially influence decisions that may impact financial interests. This year some positions have been reclassified or have changed, so the City needs to send a revised list. There are five criteria questions in the instructions for the Biennial Notice for amending the Conflict of Interest Code, and the City answered yes to a couple of them, so amendments to the current Conflict of Interest Code are necessary.

Item No. 9 (F)

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: SEPTEMBER 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KEITH BOYD, CHIEF OF POLICE
RE: CONSIDERATION OF DESIGNATION AND LIQUIDATION OF SURPLUS

OBSOLETE CITY EQUIPMENT AND FIREARMS
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council adopt a Resolution deeming certain City-owned equipment and firearms as surplus equipment and direct the liquidation by properly disposing of items that are obsolete, unneeded, or unusable.

BACKGROUND:

Multiple City departments have conducted an inventory of City-owned equipment. The inventory identified certain items that are no longer being used, and there is no expectation for these items to be used in the future or ability for them to be salvaged by another City department or outside entity. Technology continues to evolve in areas such as computers, electronic equipment, and other modern office accessories. In addition, the Police Department still utilizes four Glock 22 Generation 3 handguns which entered service in 1998.

The City has worked to provide current technology and modern equipment to all city employees to assist in providing outstanding service to the community. Items listed in Exhibit 1 (Police Department Surplus Equipment) and Exhibit 2 (Public Works Surplus Equipment) are multiple generations of purchased equipment behind and have been warehoused in the Police Department and/or other departments throughout the City instead of being repurposed or properly disposed of.

DISCUSSION:

The Police Department is preparing for phase two of a remodeling project previously approved by City Council. In preparation, the Police Department is inventorying its current equipment and looking to properly remove surplus equipment from the building and its inventory. Other City departments are in the process of inventorying their equipment to increase efficiency and modernize operations. A number of the items from City Hall were

identified for disposal during staff’s recent “spring cleaning” activity, which is conducted on an annual basis to maintain City Hall in a clean, organized and efficient condition.

During this process, several items were considered for liquidation. Each item was reviewed for its potential for repurposing and those items that could be repurposed were repurposed. Other equipment is simply old and obsolete. Some of the equipment is no longer serviceable, and none of the listed items are needed. The cost of maintenance and indefinite storage render the items to be a hinderance to the operation of the Police Department and other departments throughout the city. The Police Department has a quote from LC Action Police Supply receive a credit for the existing Glock 22 Generation 3 handguns to be applied toward the purchase of Glock 22 Generation 5 handguns.

Without an avenue to repurpose or resell the remaining listed equipment, the remaining option is to declare the equipment as surplus and dispose of accordingly.

COST ANALYSIS:

The Police Department would receive an $880 credit for the Glock 22 Generation 3 handguns reducing the cost to replace them with Generation 5 handguns to $1212.35.

The recommendation to dispose of the remaining equipment would incur little to no cost to dismantle and dispose of and all costs can be absorbed in the existing departmental budgets.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

This matter is not a “project” for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change to the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. No further action is required under CEQA for City Council action.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives have been identified for City Council consideration:

1. Approve staff’s recommendations;

2. Direct staff to identify other options for disposition of the surplus property;

3. Do not approve designating the equipment as surplus property; or

4. Provide staff other direction.

EXHIBITS:

1. List of Police Department items deemed to be surplus for liquidation.

2. List of Public Works items deemed to be surplus for liquidation.

3. Quote from LC Action Police Supply to replace Glock 22 Generation 3 handguns.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: SEPTEMBER 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL

OF THE CITY OF KING MAKING FINDINGS RELATED TO THE

CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY DUE
TO COVID-19 AND RE-AUTHORIZING THE CONDUCT OF

PUBLIC MEETINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODIES OF THE

CITY VIA REMOTE TELECONFERENCING FOR AN
ADDITIONAL 30-DAY PERIOD PURSUANT TO THE RALPH M.

BROWN ACT AS AMENDED BY ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 361
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council adopt a Resolution making findings related to the continued existence of a State of Emergency due to COVID-19 and reauthorizing the conduct of public meetings of the legislative bodies of the city via remote teleconferencing for an additional 30-day period pursuant to the Ralph M.

Brown act as amended by AB 361.

BACKGROUND:

Starting March 2020, the Governor of California declared a State of Emergency to make additional resources available, formalize emergency actions already underway, and help the state prepare for broader spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). On March 13, 2020, the President declared a National State of Emergency. As a result, on March 16, 2020, the City Manager signed a Proclamation of Local Emergency in King City, which was ratified by the City Council on March 20, 2020.

In March 2020, in response to the spread of COVID-19 in the County of in the County of Monterey, the County proclaimed a state of local emergency for the County of Monterey and thereafter issued orders from the County of Monterey Health Officer aimed at containing COVID-19.

OF KING MAKING FINDINGS RELATED TO THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY DUE TO COVID-19 AND RE-AUTHORIZING

THE CONDUCT OF PUBLIC MEETINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODIES OF THE CITY VIA REMOTE TELECONFERENCING FOR AN ADDITIONAL 30- DAY PERIOD PURSUANT TO THE RALPH M. BROWN ACT AS AMENDED BY ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 361
SEPTEMBER 13, 2022
PAGE 2 OF 4
On March 20, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-4753 declaring and proclaiming the existence of a local emergency in the City in response to COVID-19.

The Governor subsequently issued a number of executive orders aimed at promoting social distancing to reduce the spread of COVID-19. The Orders included suspending the following requirements of the Ralph M. Brown Act governing how public meetings are conducted:
• the requirement that local agencies provide notice of each teleconference location from which a member of the legislative body will be participating in a public meeting;
• the requirement that each teleconference location be accessible to the public;
• the requirement that members of the public be able to address the legislative body at each teleconference conference location; • the requirement that local agencies post agendas at all teleconference locations; and
• the requirement that at least a quorum of the members of the local body participate from locations within the boundaries of the territory over which the local body exercises jurisdiction.

The legislative bodies conducted many of their meetings via remote teleconferencing consistent with the declaration of local emergency and executive orders issued by the Governor during the shutdown. Equipment was then installed in the Council Chambers that provides the added capability of hybrid simultaneous in-person and virtual meetings.

When the Order expired, State legislation was adopted that extended the ability to meet remotely under specified circumstances. When that expired, the City temporarily discontinued the ability of elected officials and board members to participate in meetings remotely. Additional State legislation has been proposed and is under consideration. In the meantime, the Governor’s declared State of Emergency remains in effect. This, along with the CDC and County Health Officer’s guidelines, provides the City Council the ability to make the findings necessary to continue to participate in meetings virtually.

PAGE 3 OF 4
The findings were last approved by the City Council at the August 23, 2022 meeting. Therefore, the approval is necessary again at this time because the next meeting will be over 30 days from the last approval.

DISCUSSION:

Provisions regarding the ability of Council, Board and Commission members participating in meetings remotely remain the same, which include the following:
• In each instance in which notice of the time of the teleconferenced meeting is given or the agenda for the meeting is posted, the legislative body shall also give notice of the manner by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment;
• The agenda shall identify and include an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option; • The legislative body shall allow members of the public to access the meeting, and the agenda shall include an opportunity for members of the public to address the legislative body directly;
• In the event of a disruption which prevents the local agency from broadcasting the meeting to members of the public using the call-in option or internet-based service option, or in the event of a disruption within the local agency’s control which prevents members of the public from offering public comments using the call-in option or internet-based service option, the legislative body shall take no further action on items appearing on the meeting agenda until public access to the meeting via the call-in option or internet-based service option is restored; and
• Written/remote public comment must be accepted until the point at which the public comment period is formally closed; registration/sign-up to provide/be recognized to provide public comment can only be closed when the public comment period is formally closed.

A number of circumstances could involve the need for virtual attendance, such as the following:

RESOLUTION NO. 2022-4900

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KING MAKING

FINDINGS RELATED TO THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY DUE TO COVID-19 AND RE-AUTHORIZING THE CONDUCT OF

PUBLIC MEETINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODIES OF THE CITY VIA REMOTE TELECONFERENCING FOR AN ADDITIONAL 30-DAY PERIOD PURSUANT TO THE RALPH M. BROWN ACT AS AMENDED BY ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 361
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of King (“City”) are committed to preserving and nurturing public access and participation in meetings of the legislative bodies (as that term is defined in Government Code §54952, including commissions, boards and committees subject to the Brown Act) of the City (collectively, the “Legislative Bodies”); and WHEREAS, all meetings of the Legislative Bodies are open and public as required by the Ralph M. Brown Act, codified as Government Code §§ 54950 et seq., so that any member of the public may attend, participate, and observe the Legislative Bodies conduct their business; and WHEREAS, the Brown Act, at Government Code § 54953(e), as amended by Assembly Bill (AB) 361 effective October 1, 2021, makes provision for remote teleconferencing participation in public meetings by members of a Legislative Body without compliance with the provisions of Government Code § 54953(b)(3), subject to the existence of certain conditions; and WHEREAS, a required condition under Government Code § 54953(e) is that the meeting is held during a state of emergency that has been declared by the Governor pursuant to Government Code § 8625, proclaiming the existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the state caused by conditions as described in Government Code § 8558; and
WHEREAS, a proclamation can be made under circumstances including conditions when there is an actual incident, threat of disaster, or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the jurisdictions that are within the City’s boundaries, caused by natural, technological, or human-caused disasters
WHEREAS, it is further required that state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing; and
WHEREAS, starting in March 2020, in response to the spread of COVID-19 in the State of California, the Governor proclaimed a state of emergency for the State of California and thereafter issued a number of executive orders aimed at containing COVID-19; and WHEREAS, on March 20, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-4753 declaring and proclaiming the existence of a local emergency in the City in response to COVID-19.

The Legislative Bodies have since conducted many of their meetings via remote teleconferencing consistent with the declaration of local emergency and executive orders issued by the Governor; and
WHEREAS, the executive orders issued by the Governor, among other things, waived requirements of the Brown Act expressly or impliedly requiring the physical presence of members of the legislative body, the clerk or other personnel of the body, or of the public as a condition of participation in or for the purpose of establishing a quorum for a public meeting. Without limitation, the orders waived the following requirements of Government Code §54953(b)(3):
• the requirement that local agencies provide notice of each teleconference location from which a member of the legislative body will be participating in a public meeting; • the requirement that each teleconference location be accessible to the public; • the requirement that members of the public be able to address the legislative body at each teleconference conference location;
• the requirement that local agencies post agendas at all teleconference locations; and • the requirement that at least a quorum of the members of the local body participate from locations within the boundaries of the territory over which the local body exercises jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, on June 11, 2021, the Governor issued Executive Order N-08-21, which rescinded the modifications made by the aforementioned executive orders, effective September 30, 2021. On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed AB 361, creating a modified set of provisions for local agencies for compliance with the Brown Act relative to remote meetings. AB 361 was made effective on October 1, 2021. These modifications include the following:
• In each instance in which notice of the time of the teleconferenced meeting is given or the agenda for the meeting is posted, the legislative body shall also give notice of the manner by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment;
• The agenda shall identify and include an opportunity for all persons to attend via a callin option or an internet-based service option; • The legislative body shall allow members of the public to access the meeting, and the agenda shall include an opportunity for members of the public to address the legislative body directly;
• In the event of a disruption which prevents the local agency from broadcasting the meeting to members of the public using the call-in option or internet-based service option, or in the event of a disruption within the local agency’s control which prevents members of the public from offering public comments using the call-in option or internetbased service option, the legislative body shall take no further action on items appearing on the meeting agenda until public access to the meeting via the call-in option or internetbased service option is restored; and • Written/remote public comment must be accepted until the point at which the public comment period is formally closed; registration/sign-up to provide/be recognized to provide public comment can only be closed when the public comment period is formally closed.

WHEREAS, the Governor’s proclaimed state of emergency and the City’s proclaimed local emergency related to COVID-19 remain in effect and encompass the jurisdictional boundaries of the City and Successor Agency. State of California and County of Monterey Public Health officials have recommended measures to promote social distancing, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) continue to recommend physical distancing; and WHEREAS, as a consequence of the persisting state of emergency and the imposed or recommended social distancing measures, the Legislative Bodies may conduct their meetings without compliance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Government Code § 54953, as authorized by subdivision (e) of Government Code § 54953, and that the Legislative Bodies may comply with the requirements to provide the public with access to the meetings as prescribed in paragraph (2) of subdivision (e) of Government Code § 54953; and WHEREAS, consistent with AB 361, during the effectiveness of this Resolution, the Legislative Bodies and their staff may choose to avail themselves with AB 361 and give notice of the manner by which members of the public may access the Legislative Bodies’ meetings and offer public comment; identify and include an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option; and allow members of the public to access the meeting, and the agenda shall include an opportunity for members of the public to address the Legislative Body directly.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of King does resolve as follows:

SECTION 1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. The City Council has considered the existing conditions of the state of emergency in the City and, consistent with the provisions of Government Code § 54953(e), hereby finds and determines that: (1) a proclaimed statewide state of emergency and a proclaimed local emergency related to COVID-19 are both currently in effect and persist in the jurisdictional boundaries of the City; and (2) State, local and CDC officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing in connection with the COVID-19 emergency.

SECTION 3. The City Council hereby acknowledges the Governor’s proclaimed state of emergency and the City’s proclaimed local emergency (as may have been amended since their initial proclamation) which encompass their jurisdictional boundaries.

SECTION 4. The Legislative Bodies and staff are hereby authorized and directed to take all actions necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of this Resolution, which may include the alternative of conducting all open and public meetings of the Legislative Bodies in accordance with Government Code § 54953(e) and other applicable provisions of the Brown Act.

SECTION 5. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption and shall be effective until the earlier of (i) October 13, 2022, or (ii) such time as the City Council adopts a subsequent resolution in accordance with Government Code § 54953(e)(3) to extend the time during which the Legislative Bodies may continue to teleconference without compliance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Government Code § 54953.

SECTION 6. Should any provision, section, paragraph, sentence or word of this Resolution be rendered or declared invalid by any final court action in a court of competent jurisdiction or by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining provisions, sections, paragraphs, sentences or words of this Resolution as hereby adopted shall remain in full force and effect.

Item No. 9 (H)

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: SEPTEMBER 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO MASTER FEE

SCHEDULE
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council adopt a Resolution amending the Master Fee Schedule to add a Recreation Department fee for sports programs operated in conjunction with King City High School.

BACKGROUND:

The City maintains a Master Fee Schedule of all user fees. Fees are based upon the cost to provide each service. Staff is recommending an amendment to the Master Fee Schedule to add a fee for new sports programs being offered at King City High School.

DISCUSSION:

The City Recreation Department is coordinating with King City High School on a sports program at the school campus for students. King City High School faculty will provide all the staffing for operation of the program at no cost. The City Recreation Department will administer the program, including coordination, scheduling, registration, etc. Therefore, a fee is needed to reimburse the City for its costs.

At this point, the programs will include girls’ and boys’ basketball, baseball, and soccer. It may be expanded to include other sports in the future. The proposed fee is $10 per student.

COST ANALYSIS:

The total annual cost and revenue is projected to be roughly $1,000, which will be cost neutral.

Item No. 9 (I)

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: SEPTEMBER 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF TERMINATION OF CONTRACT

SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HANNA BRUNETTI
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council Approve termination of the Contract Services Agreement with Hanna-Brunetti (DBA for Associated Engineering-Surveying Services, Inc.) dated January 28, 2020.

BACKGROUND:

Hanna-Brunetti has been providing engineering services to the City of King under contract for many years. Most recently, the contract was renewed in 2020 for a term of five years. This year, the City created a full-time Director of Public Works/City Engineer position. The City Engineer previously employed through Hanna-Brunetti was hired to fill the position. Therefore, the services of HannaBrunetti are no longer needed.

DISCUSSION:

Under the terms of the contract, the City may terminate the contract at any time without cause upon 30 days notice. Since the City Council approved the contract, authorization by the City Council to terminate the contract is also necessary.

COST ANALYSIS:

There will be no cost impact from this action.

The City adopted its first Local Road Safety Plan on October 27, 2020 with a grant from the State of California Systemic Analysis Report Program. The King City LRSP is intended to provide a framework for the City and its stakeholders to identify, analyze, and prioritize roadway safety improvements to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on the local road network.

Staff proposed preparing the plan in order to evaluate the City’s intersections, crosswalks and stop signs; to identify priority intersections for more detailed analysis; and then to develop recommendations for safety improvements. The City does not have a high accident history, but few improvements or modifications have been made for many years. Therefore, the intent of the project was to provide an updated analysis and design of intersections to increase public safety.

The grant has enabled King City to be one of the first in the State of California to complete their LRSP. LRSPs will be required in the future by Caltrans for grant funding. Therefore, it positions the City in the forefront of meeting these new requirements. The City will be submitting a Highway Safety Improvement Grant application for the construction of a roundabout at Broadway Street and San Antonio Drive, where having an LRSP is required.

CITY COUNCIL

CONSIDERATION OF UPDATE TO THE KING CITY LOCAL ROAD SAFETY PLAN
SEPTEMBER 13, 2022
PAGE 2 OF 3
Since the Local Road Safety Plan was approved, the City has made efforts to moved forward with the Downtown Bulbout Improvement Project. The corner bulbouts will provide a major safety improvement by making crosswalks shorter and visible..

DISCUSSION:

The proposed vision of the LRSP is: “to proactively implement multimodal transportation safety improvements so that motorists, cyclists and pedestrians can travel free from harm.” King City’s goals in preparing the LRSP were to 1) implement intersection improvements that increase the visibility of road users and clearly define intersection control to enhance safety; 2) implement traffic calming improvements that support safe speeds; and 3) implement improvements that promote and support safe travel for pedestrians and bicyclists, especially near schools and high pedestrian activity areas.

Staff would like to extend the vison of the LRSP to include a Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic deaths and severe injuries by 2035 by continuing to make progress on the priority projects using the developed countermeasures identified in the LRSP. The proposed update to the LRSP will outline the vision and goals.

Staff would also like to update Chapter 5 of the LRSP, “Priority Project Selection” to include the Downtown Bulbout project as a Tier 1 project which utilizes identified countermeasures. The intersections of Broadway Street and San Lorenzo Street, Vanderhurst Avenue and 2
nd Street are currently identified in the
LSRP for installation of flashing beacons. Since the design plans for the Downtown Bulbout project is almost complete, it is now recommended to update the LSRP to incorporate the more extensive safety improvements that are being proposed. This will also help with grant efforts to fully fund that project.

COST ANALYSIS:

The cost of the update is $8,000.00, which will allow the City to submit applications for a Safe Streets 4 All grant application and pursue other grant opportunities.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

This matter is not a “project” for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change to the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. No further action is required under CEQA for City

RESOLUTION NO. 2022-____

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KING FOR ROADWAY SAFETY WHEREAS, no fatalities or severe injuries on King City’s road network are acceptable, and a safer roadway system is possible; and
WHEREAS, human life and health are paramount and should take priority over mobility and other objectives of the road traffic system; and
WHEREAS, roadways have historically been designed to prioritize minimizing vehicle delay and increasing vehicle speeds over human life and health; and WHEREAS, pedestrians and bicyclists are the most vulnerable road users due to their lack of protection from the kinetic energy of impact in the event of a crash, and are involved in a third of all crashes resulting in injuries, and all but one of all crashes since 2015 that has resulted in someone being killed or severely injured; and WHEREAS, vehicle speeds and lack of safe facilities for people walking and biking have been identified as major causes of traffic fatalities in King City; and WHEREAS, the City of King adopted its Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) – the first of its kind in California – in 2020, which assessed citywide collision patterns, identified collision hotspots and common contextual profiles for crashes, proposed countermeasures and interventions to address these crash profiles, and identified projects for implementation in the short-, medium-, and long-range; and
WHEREAS, the LRSP has acted as a guide in advancing roadway safety in King City in the years since its adoption; and
WHEREAS, both the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as well as the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) through its Strategic Highway Safety Plan, which guides safety funding and strategy for the state of California, has pivoted to a “Safe System” approach in support of using data-driven strategy to eliminate traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all; and WHEREAS, the “Safe System” approach recognizes that people will make mistakes and roadway systems and policies should be designed to protect them through redundancies and shared responsibilities; and
WHEREAS, the Safe System approach to creating redundancies in roadway systems aims to create roadways that are safer for vulnerable users and vehicles alike; and WHEREAS, the California Complete Streets Act of 2008 (AB 1358) requires California cities and counties to plan for complete streets that allow people to get around safely on foot, bicycle, or public transportation; and
WHEREAS, measures to make King City’s streets safer for all road users, particularly those who are most physically vulnerable, such as seniors, youth, and people with disabilities, will further encourage people of all ages and abilities to walk, bike, and use alternative forms of transportation; and
WHEREAS, the State of California has adopted several climate change adaptation goals, mandates, and policies including AB 32, SB 375, SB 743, SB 1, and SB 1000, encouraging a reduction in transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions; and WHEREAS, measures that increase walking, bicycling, and other alternative forms of transportation helps to achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals; and WHEREAS, the goal of advancing roadway safety should create opportunities to invite meaningful input from the community, including residents that are disproportionately burdened by traffic collisions, and historically have been underserved; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOVED that the City of King City Council adopts the Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic deaths and severe injuries by 2034.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a multi-disciplinary Vision Zero Task Force will be formed to monitor the continued implementation of the LRSP, and shall be comprised of the different departments within our agency and will solicit comments and feedback from citizens, organizations and/or agencies with expertise in transportation, education, public health, emergency response, equity, transit, biking, and walking.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of King is committed to equity in all aspects of Vision Zero, including data analysis that acknowledges and addressing reporting biases and enforcement strategies that protect against racial profiling and follow data driven approaches.

KING CITY LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN | FEHR & PEERS
Vision Statement
Roadway safety impacts the health and comfort of all those who live and travel in King City, and it is imperative to make the transportation system safer and more equitable for users of all transportation modes.

The City of King is committed to proactively implement multimodal transportation safety improvements so that motorists, cyclists and pedestrians can travel free from harm, such as implementing intersection improvements that increase the visibility of road users and clearly define intersection control to enhance safety, calming improvements that support safe speeds, and improvements that promote and support safe travel for pedestrians and bicyclists, especially near schools and other high pedestrian activity areas.

The City of King is committed to eliminate traffic deaths and severe injuries by 2034.

As part of this commitment, the City will prioritize safety when trade-off decisions are necessary between competing demands and visions for the roadway network.

The City of King will form a standing Local Roadway Safety Working Group that will meet regularly to implement this Local Roadway Safety Plan, monitor progress towards the City’s goal of eliminating traffic deaths and severe injuries, and communicate outcomes to the public regularly.

KING CITY LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN | FEHR & PEERS

1. Introduction
King City’s Local Road Safety Plans (LRSP) is
among the first such Plans in California since
Caltrans announced it as a prerequisite for
future Highway Safety Improvement Program
(HSIP) cycles. Beginning in 2022 (HSIP Cycle 11),
Caltrans will require an LRSP (or its equivalent)
for any agency to be eligible to apply for HSIP
funding. In late 2019, City staff attended a
Local Road Safety Peer Exchange Workshop
hosted by Caltrans and the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), where the LRSP concept
was recommended for local jurisdictions as a
proven multimodal safety countermeasure. A
specific focus of the Peer Exchange was on datadriven safety analysis (DDSA), and the resources and best practices available for cities to shift
safety efforts from reactive safety responses to
proactive, objective, effective, and accountable
systemic safety interventions. King City applied
for LRSP funds to pursue this strategy.

The DDSA approach is uniquely appropriate for
the King City context: compared to other South
Monterey County cities, King City does

»What is an LRSP?«
The Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) is
an implementation step in support of
federal regulations requiring each state
to have a Strategic Highway Safety
Plan (SHSP) that establishes goals,
objectives, and emphasis (or challenge)
areas to reduce traffic fatalities and
serious injuries on all public roads
using a data-driven approach. An LRSP
provides a framework for agencies
to proactively and systematically
identify and address unique safety
issues prevalent in their jurisdiction
by facilitating partnerships with key
stakeholders in the community.

The LRSP process offers an opportunity
to learn from many perspectives,
from the collision hot spot data to
feedback on perceived safety issues
to contextual patterns in hot spot
data that may be similar systemically
– to develop and prioritize a list of
meaningful and grant-competitive
safety projects for King City. This
study also sets up a process for
multi-disciplinary collaboration,
transparency, and accountability that
can last far beyond this effort.

Chapter 2 of Caltrans’ Local Roadway
Safety Manual (LRSM) instructs safety
practitioners to “consider a wide range
of data sources to get an overall picture
of the safety needs.” Crash data and
contextual data were both collected
and analyzed as part of this plan, as
well as anecdotal input from City staff
and community stakeholders.

2. Collision and
Contextual
Analysis
»Data Sources and Overview«
For the LRSP, five years of the most
current crash data available (January
1, 2013 through December 31, 2017)
were extracted from the Statewide
Integrated Traffic Records System
(SWITRS) and Transportation Injury
Mapping System (TIMS) databases. The
datasets include extensive collision
detail such as collision location, type,
severity, parties involved, contributing
factors, etc. Fatal collisions and
collisions that resulted in injury are
mapped on Figure 1.

To accompany the collision data,
Ecopia Tech technology was used
to assemble landscape data such
as sidewalks, bike lanes, marked
crosswalks, and number of travel lanes.

This was supplemented with a field
review by Fehr & Peers staff.

The collision and contextual analysis
helped to identify crash typologies
through the comparative analysis of
crash data and contextual data, further
discussed in the following chapters.

KING CITY LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN | FEHR & PEERS
As the project got underway, City staff engaged key stakeholders for input on identifying hot spot locations around the City. This group included TJ Plew (Salinas Valley Fair), Captain Keith Boyd (King City Police Department), Rory Livingston (King City Union Elementary School District) and Dr. Brian Walker (South Monterey County Joint Union High School District). A community newsletter was also mailed to members of the community and information was posted on social media to solicit feedback on safety concerns throughout the City. The City received input from a number of residents, each of which was reviewed and assessed in the study by Fehr & Peers. Additionally, Fehr & Peers staff conducted a field visit to King City to observe roadways and intersections throughout the City while school was in session.

Throughout the project, City staff identified locations for Fehr & Peers to analyze and to provide appropriate project recommendations.

The field visit along with guidance from City staff provided first-hand insight into the challenges roadway users face throughout the City.

Continued engagement with stakeholders is integral to the successful implementation of this Plan. City staff shall convene a Working Group to continue to steward this Plan's implementation, which may include some or all of the stakeholders involved and others. The Working Group which shall have regular, standing meetings, and be in charge of this Plan's implementation and for monitoring safety outcomes in King City in the coming years to evaluate the effectiveness of the Plan.

The composition of the Working Group should ensure that inter- and intra-governmental cooperation and collaboration continues to occur as this Plan is implemented.

3. Engaging Key
Stakeholders
11 12
KING CITY LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN | FEHR & PEERS
The collision analysis brought several systemic issues to the surface. Systemic analysis is a proactive safety approach that focuses on evaluating an entire roadway network using a defined set of criteria. Due to the low number of collisions in King City, the crash typologies were identified by reviewing the collision data and was accompanied with feedback from City staff, key stakeholders and community members. Crash typologies for King City include:
- Uncontrolled Crossings at Intersections and at Mid-Block Locations
- Crosswalk Safety Near Schools
- Stop Controlled Intersections
- Speeding
Uncontrolled pedestrian crossings
occur where sidewalks or designated
walkways intersect a roadway at a
location where no traffic control (e.g.,
traffic signal or stop sign) exists. This
common crossing type occurs at
intersections (marked or unmarked)
and at mid-block locations (where
they must be marked). Research has
demonstrated the importance of
marking uncontrolled crossings to
facilitate access to key destinations
while ensuring that additional safety
treatments are applied at these
locations if they have higher traffic
speeds and volumes

uncontrolled crossings. The FHWA's
Guide for Improving Pedestrian Safety
at Uncontrolled Crossing Locations
proposes countermeasures based
on road conditions, crash causes,
and pedestrian safety issues. Table 1
summarizes recommendations from
the guide, includes a comprehensive
matrix and list of STEP and FHWAapproved pedestrian crash countermeasures suggested for
application at uncontrolled crossing
locations per roadway and traffic
features.

In this table, nine countermeasures are
assigned to specific matrix cells based
on safety research, best practices, and
established national guidelines. The
matrix is divided into three average
annual daily traffic (AADT) categories:
<9,000, 9,000-15,000 and >15,000.

Because the AADT in King City is less
than 9,000 for all roadways and there
are no four lane roadways with a raised
median, the matrix was tailored to suit
the City’s landscape. Figure 2 illustrates
the roadways through King City that
may benefit from the countermeasures
for uncontrolled crosswalks based on
the color coding provided in Table 1.

Appendix A includes a list of 26 effective
countermeasures that are appropriate
in specific roadway contexts. Three
of these countermeasures – highvisibility crosswalk markings, parking restrictions at crosswalk approaches,
and adequate nighttime lighting levels
– should always be considered at
uncontrolled crosswalks.

»Application of Countermeasures by Roadway Feature«
Table 1 includes a comprehensive matrix and list of STEP pedestrian safety countermeasures suggested for implementation at uncontrolled crossing locations based on roadway and traffic features. Once a pedestrian crossing is established, the City should review the countermeasure options and consider the existing conditions such as pedestrian volumes, operational speeds, land-use context, and other features surrounding the crossing. City staff should also consult the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) and other national, state and local guidelines before selecting the final countermeasures. The specific safety issues each countermeasure may address can be found in Table 2.

Assessment«
The Crosswalk+ Tool was created by Fehr
& Peers to guide the selection of candidate
crosswalk treatments. The tool uses published
research from the National Cooperative
Highway Research Program and the Federal
Highway Administration as mentioned in the
previous section. The Ecopia Tech data and
field work conducted by Fehr & Peers was input
into the tool to identify potential crosswalk
treatments for uncontrolled locations, as shown
in Figure 3.

Once the STEP-recommended treatments were
identified, a list of candidate enhancements
were developed to bring locations up to the
STEP level if countermeasures are not currently
in place. The tool guided City staff in making
recommendations for project locations
throughout King City. Recommendations for
enhancements at uncontrolled crossings using
the Crosswalk+ Tool can be found on Table 3.

crossings, a raised intersection, curb
extensions and a traffic circle. These
recommendations come at varying
costs and are effective measures to
reducing speeds along a roadway.

City staff should continue to build
partnerships with schools to improve
infrastructure and review circulation
patterns including pick-up/drop-off
locations. Routine enforcement by
King City police to enforce speeds and
educate children on safe walking and
bicycling would also support safety
near schools.
also includes a recommendation
to install a median refuge island for
pedestrians to complete a two-stage
crossing across Broadway Street on the
west leg of the intersection.

S Russ Street and Pearl Street create
a T-intersection near the entrance to
the King City Unified School District
Administrative Center. Just east of the
intersection is the King City Arts Magnet
School. A project recommendation
for this location includes updating
the existing crosswalks with highvisibility striping and considering traffic calming elements such as raised
enhancing crosswalk safety. As part
of the 2018 Monterey County Active
Transportation Plan, a project was
recommended to install protected bike
lanes on King Street from Sandringham
Street to Beech Street and on Beech
Street from King Street to San Antonio
Drive.

King City High School is located
near the intersection of Broadway
Street and Canal Street. A project
is recommended at this location to
restrict left turns out of the school
parking lot to reduce conflicts between
motorists and pedestrians. This project
King City applied for Safe Routes to
School grants in 2015 as part of the
Monterey South County Pedestrian and
Biking Safety Plan provided for schools
in King City and Soledad. School
presentations, assemblies and bicycle
rodeos educated students and teachers
about safe walking and bicycling, while
events such as International Walk to
School Day and Bike Day provided
opportunities to practice safe bicycle
and pedestrian travel.

King City has a few schools in close
proximity of one-another: Del Rey
Elementary school, Alegria Migrant
and Seasonal Head Start, and Santa
Lucia Elementary School. There are
two existing crosswalks on King Street
between Patterson Street and N Russ
Street. A raised crossing at these two
locations would slow travel speeds
through the crosswalks, thereby
Providing pedestrian and bicycleoriented facilities near schools is important for the walkability and
bikeability for school-aged children.

Many of the schools in King City
are located near housing and can
greatly benefit from enhanced
facilities. Community members, key
stakeholders and City staff have
expressed concerns around speeding
throughout the City, especially near
schools. Crosswalk Safety Near Schools
is highlighted as a typology to feature
proactive countermeasures and project
recommendations to support safety of
vulnerable road users in some of the
highest-risk areas of the City.

Side street stop control sign placement
was also reviewed as part of this study
to determine if the stop signs are
located on the appropriate approaches.

Generally, the orientation of stop signs
was determined to be appropriate
throughout the City—stop signs are
generally located on the minor streets
where roadways of varying functional
classification intersect. In areas of the
City with a grid of local roadways, stop
signs are located on approaches such
that a motorist cannot drive more than
three blocks without encountering a
stop sign, thereby discouraging cutthrough traffic and speeding.

However, in reviewing stop sign
orientation, two locations were
identified to have inconsistent
orientation with best practice that may
cause driver confusion: 1) N 3rd Street at
Ulrey Street and at Orchard Street, and
2) S Mildred Avenue at Luckett Street.

Locations with side street or no stop
control are associated with more
collisions in the City than at locations
with all-way stop control. Residents
in the City often request all-way stop
control as a means for traffic calming
and traffic safety. The CA MUTCD
provides guidance for determining
appropriate traffic control for a
given intersection. Figure 4 presents
evaluation criteria to consider for
evaluating if all-way stop control is
warranted for a location, as described
in the CA MUTCD. Similarly, the CA
MUTCD includes guidance for when
an uncontrolled intersection should
be converted to a side street stop
controlled intersection (Section 2B.06).

As part of this study, side street stop
and uncontrolled intersections were
reviewed against the Traffic Volume
and Collision criteria for all-way stop
control, and none of the intersections
met those criteria. Therefore, no
intersections are recommended to
be converted to all-way stop control
based on those criteria alone. However,
if locations in the City have insufficient
sight distance, then all-way stop
control may be appropriate. A review of
sight distance considerations has not
been completed citywide. Additionally,
special circumstances beyond these
three criteria could justify all-way stop
control if deemed appropriate through
engineering judgment.

To provide continuity between these two intersections, N 3rd Street and Ulrey Street is proposed to be an all-way stop controlled intersection, and N 3rd Street and Orchard Street is proposed to be a side-street stop controlled intersection with only a stop sign on the westbound approach. Project 8 in Table 3 provides further detail on this project recommendation.

S Mildred Avenue and Luckett Street
S Mildred Avenue and Luckett Street is also an unusual intersection where the stop controls are on S Mildred Avenue, the major roadway. Best practices suggest the minor roadway (Luckett Street) be stop controlled as there would be higher volumes of motor traffic on the major roadways warranting free flow along S Mildred Avenue. Project 15 suggests installing a stop sign on Luckett Street to modify this intersection to all-way stop control. 25 26
KING CITY LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN | FEHR & PEERS
While the CA MUTCD provides
guidance for determining if stop signs
or signal control are appropriate, it
does not provide such guidance for
roundabouts. Generally, the decision
to install a roundabout is based on a
review of how the roundabout would
operate given the level of traffic
volume, cost, and right-of-way. While
the cost of installing a roundabout is
high, they are a proven countermeasure
for addressing fatal and severe injury
collisions. The AASHTO Highway
Safety Manual states that roundabouts
reduce the types of crashes where
people are seriously hurt or killed
by 78-82% when compared to
conventional stop-controlled and
signalized intersections
2 . As identified
in Table 3, there are three projects
that recommend consideration of a
roundabout.

Careful consideration should be
given when considering multi-lane
roundabouts. Multi-lane roundabouts
pose safety challenges for pedestrian
and bicycle travel as they create
a double-threat condition at the
crosswalks. Because of this, the United
States Access Board requires that
new mulit-lane roundabouts include
pedestrian activated signals; these
can be provided by implementation of
Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHBs) at
the multi-lane crossings
3 . Installation
of PHBs at a roundabout increases cost
and complexity considerably.

Additionally, recognizing that motorists
unfamiliar with the City could be
confused when approaching a side
street stop controlled intersection
that may resemble the look and
feel of an all-way stop controlled
intersection, the City may consider
adding supplemental placards at stop
controlled intersections to identify if
“cross traffic does not stop” or if stop
control is “all way,” as identified in
Table 3.

Roundabouts and traffic signals are
other forms of traffic control that could
be considered at various locations
throughout the City.

The determination to install a traffic
signal should be made by conducting
a traffic signal warrant study,
following the guidance and standards
documented in the CA MUTCD
(Chapter 4). Based on the context of
the intersection, traffic signals may be
considered a safety countermeasure
for specific collision types; however,
some collision types may increase
with traffic signal control, and should
be considered. For example, installing
a traffic signal could result in fewer
broadside collisions, but more rear-end
collisions.

Speed is the primary factor that

in the figure at the bottom right of the
following page, a pedestrian’s chance
at surviving a collision decreases
significantly as speed increases. City
staff and community members have
identified speeding as a concern
throughout the City. Approximately half
of all fatal and severe injury collisions
included in this study were primarily a
result of speeding.

As shown on Figure 5, most roadways
in King City have a posted speed limit
of 25 mph. Along the fringes of the City,
some roadways have a posted speed
of 35 mph, including San Antonio Drive,
Metz Road, Bitterwater Road, Airport
Road, and 1st Street. Even though
the local roadway system is primarily
posted at 25 mph, many of these local
roads feature wide cross-sections,
which may contribute to speeding.

4d. Crash
Typology
Highlight:

Speeding
contexts and freeways to local streets
can also be locations where speeding
concerns arise. King City has several
of these zones, and these patterns are
exacerbated with tourist/visitor traffic.

As transportation improvements
are made in the City, improvements
should consider traffic calming
elements to promote safe speeds for
multimodal use of roadways, such as
lane narrowing, horizontal deflection,
and vertical deflection. Table 3 includes
project recommendations to address
speeding concerns at: King Street
between Patterson Street and N Russ
Street, Division Street between S
3rd Street and S 2nd Street, Bedford
Avenue between Oxford Avenue and
Brighton Avenue, and Pearl Street at
Russ Street. These projects include
traffic calming measures such as raised
crosswalks, curb extensions, traffic
circles, and lane narrowing through
striping.

Future Considerations
In California, posted speed limits
are currently set based on the 85th
percentile speed, as defined in the CA
MUTCD. However, this section of the
CA MUTCD is currently under review
and may be revised to allow agencies
to set context-sensitive speed limits.

If the CA MUTCD allows for contextsensitive speed limit setting, King City may consider setting lower speed limits
to promote safe speeds based on the
context of the facility and adjacent
land use. Examples of context-sensitive
speed limit setting could include
setting lower speed limits in areas with
high pedestrian travel, or reducing the
de facto speed limit citywide from 25
mph to 20 mph.

While automated speed
enforcement (ASE) is a proven safety
countermeasure for speed-related
collisions, California legislature does
not currently allow for ASE. However,
groups are currently lobbying for ASE.

If ASE becomes allowed in California,
it could also be a tool for the City to
consider to address speeding issues in
a systemic, unbiased, and ongoing way.

Targeted enforcement programs by the
local King City Police Department can
be effective at addressing common
violation types such as speeding,
failure to yield, failure to wear safety
belts, distracted driving and driving
while impaired. These programs can
be especially effective when combined
with education programs.

Education and enforcement programs
can raise awareness, improve driving,
pedestrian and bicycle behaviors; and
effectively reduce common violation
types. The City can use programs such
as Safe Routes to School (SR2S) and
the Active Transportation Program
(ATP) to encourage biking and walking,
especially for children traveling to
school and residents of disadvantaged
communities. SR2S grants are awarded
through the ATP, with school-based
projects and programs being highly
competitive for ATP funding.

Involving non-traditional partners
such as Emergency Medical Service
(EMS) personnel, and public health
agencies in the planning and/or
design of roadway facilities may create
opportunities to be more proactive
with safety, identify safety challenges
and education venues, and secure
funding.

7. Conclusion
The King City LRSP lays the groundwork and
provides resources for the preparation of successful
Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
grant applications by the City of King. Taking a
more proactive approach in identifying safety
improvement projects, this report completes a
system-wide, data-driven analysis of collisions
across all modes of travel along with first-hand
knowledge provided by key stakeholders and City
staff.

City staff will use this document as a framework to
identify further safety improvements if new safety
concerns arise.

The City has been proactively applying
for grants for safety projects. Appendix B
includes funding and strategies the City
can use to explore diverse funding sources
for implementation of safety projects.

The stakeholder group, along with City
staff, should monitor the plan to evaluate
effectiveness and relevance over time, and
should adjust the plan if sufficient progress
towards eliminating severe injuries and
fatalities is not being achieved.

Road Diet
Depending on the street, road diets may
change the number of lanes, turn lanes,
center turn lanes, bike lanes, parking
lanes, and/or sidewalks. Road diets
optimize street space to benefit all users
by improving the safety and comfort of
pedestrians and bicyclists, and reducing

Appendix B
Funding and
Implementation
The City of King is encouraged to
continue exploring diverse funding
source. The following pages
summarize potential local, state, and
federal funding sources related to
transportation safety.

Developer Fees
California law allows local governments
to establish and charge a fee on
residential and non-residential
development in order to fund the
need for public facilities and to service
population growth. Public facility fees
can be charged to new development
based on density and traffic impacts,
and can go to a variety of public
facilities, one being local roadways.

Affordable Housing
and Sustainable
Communities
Program (AHSC)
The AHSC Program, administered
by the Strategic Growth Council and
implemented by the Department of
Housing and Community Development
(HCD), funds land-use, housing,
transportation, and land preservation
projects to support infill and
compact development that reduces
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

This program will assist project areas
by providing grants and/or loans, or
any combination thereof, that will
achieve GHG emission reductions and
benefit Disadvantages Communities,
Low-Income Communities, and
Low-Income Households through
increased accessibility of affordable
housing, employment centers, and
key destinations via low-carbon
transportation. This results in fewer
vehicle miles traveled through
shortened or reduced trip lengths or
mode shifts from Single Occupancy
Vehicles to use of transit, bicycling, or
walking. The project areas this funding
is geared toward are transit oriented
development (TOD) Project Areas,
Integrated Connectivity Project (ICP)
Project Areas, or Rural Innovation
Project Areas (RIPA).

SB1 Funding
The U.S. Department of
Transportation’s Senate Bill 1 (SB
1), also known as the Road Repair
and Accountability Act of 2017, is a
landmark transportation investment
to rebuild California by fixing
neighborhood streets, freeways,
and bridges in communities across
California and targeting funding toward
transit and congested trade and
commute corridor improvements.

The largest portion of SB 1 funding
goes to California’s state-maintained
transportation infrastructure. With this
funding, Caltrans has a goal of repairing
or replacing 17,000 miles of pavement
in 10 years, spending $250 million
annually for congestion solutions,
over $700 million for better transit
commutes and supporting freight
improvements. The other portion of SB
1 funding will go to local roads, transit
agencies, and expanding the state’s
pedestrian and cycle routes.
47 48
KING CITY LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN | FEHR & PEERS
Local Streets and Roads
Program (LSRP)
California State Senate Bill 1 has
dedicated approximately $1.5 billion
per year appointed by the State
Controller (Controller) to cities and
counties for basic road maintenance,
rehabilitation, and critical safety
projects on the local streets and roads
system. Cities and counties must
submit a proposed project list adopted
at a regular meeting by their board or
council that is then submitted to the
California Transportation Commission
(Commission). Once reviewed and
adopted by the Commission, eligible
cities and counties receive funding
from the Controller and an Annual
Project Expenditure Report is sent to
the Commission to be transparent
with program funding received
and expended.

Local Partnership
Program (LPP)
The Local Partnership Program’s
purpose is to provide local and regional
transportation agencies that have
passed sales tax measures, developer
fees, or other imposed transportation
fees with a funding of $200 million
annually from the Road Maintenance
and Rehabilitation Account to fund
aging infrastructure, road conditions,
active transportation, and health and
safety benefits projects. LPP funds are
distributed through a 50% statewide
competitive component and a 50%
formulaic component. Both programs
are eligible to jurisdictions with
voter approved taxes, tolls, and fees
dedicated solely to transportation and
the competitive program
ATP Funding
The Active Transportation Program was
created by Senate Bill 99 to encourage
increased use of active modes of
transportation such as walking and
biking. The goals of the ATP include,
but are not limited to, increasing the
proportion of trips accomplished by
walking and biking, increasing the
safety and mobility of non-motorized
users, advancing efforts of regional
agencies to achieve greenhouse
gas reduction goals, enhancing
public health, and providing a broad
spectrum of projects to benefit many
types of users, including disadvantaged
communities. SB 1 directs $100 million
annually from SB 1 to the ATP, with
more than 400 of the funded projects
being Safe Routes to School projects
and programs that encourage a
healthy and active lifestyle throughout
students’ lives.

Caltrans Sustainable
Transportation
Planning Grant
The Sustainable Transportation
Planning Grants include two parts:

Sustainable Communities Grants and
Strategic Partnerships Grants. The
Sustainable Communities Grants have
$29.5 million set aside to encourage
local and regional planning goals and
best practices cited in the Regional
Transportation Plan Guidelines. The
Strategic Partnerships Grants set aside
$4.5 million to identify and address
statewide, interregional, or regional
transportation deficiencies on the
state highway system in partnership
with Caltrans. These grants were
released for Fiscal Year 2020-21 and
applications were due October 17, 2019.

Grant announcements are anticipated
in spring 2020. There may be another
grant on the horizon, but Caltrans has
not released any new information yet.

Safe Routes to School
(SR2S) Funding
Safe Routes to School (SR2S) is
a program promoting walking
and bicycling to school through
infrastructure improvements, tools,
safety education, and incentives to
encourage these modes of travel.

Nationally, 10 to 14 percent of car trips
during the morning rush hour are for
school travel.

SRTS can be implemented at the
state, community, or local school
district level. Competitive federal
funding is available through the Fixing
America’s Surface Transportation Act
(FAST Act). Depending on the existing
infrastructure, SRTS may require that
education, transportation, public
safety, and city planning agencies
coordinate their effort.

Measures K & L
On November 6, 2018 King City
residents approved Measures K & L.

Measure K increased retail transactions
and use taxes in the city from ½
percent to a full 1 percent. Measure
L was an advisory measure detailing
how the tax revenue generated by
Measure K would be spent. Measure
L asked for Measure K revenue to be
spent on balancing the budget, paying
off general fund debt and establishing
a financial reserve. These funds would
also go towards funding public safety
staffing, services and projects and
fund downtown improvements and
other economic development efforts to
increase businesses, jobs and visitors
to King City.

Item No. 11 (A)

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: SEPTEMBER 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: PARTICIPATION IN THE MONTEREY COUNTY CONVENTION

AND VISITORS BUREAU
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council direct staff to submit a letter of intent to the Monterey County Convention and Visitors Bureau (MCCVB) initiating the process of becoming a Jurisdiction Investing Partner in the MCCVB and inclusion in the Monterey County Tourism Improvement District (MCTID).

BACKGROUND:

The MCCVB is a Destination Marketing Organization that markets, promotes and provides programming designed to increase visitors and visitor serving business in Monterey County. The focus of MCCVB has traditionally been targeted on the peninsula destinations. However, the South Monterey County cities have recently been approached by the MCCVB about joining as Jurisdiction Investing Partners as a way for them to expand their programming and the destinations offered. The Mayor has participated as a non-voting advisor on their Board of Directors since July 2020.

Attached is a formal Letter of Intent submitted by the MCCVB. It is proposed to begin the process at this time with the goal of becoming a Jurisdiction Investing Partner effective on July 1, 2023. A representative of the MCCVB will make a presentation at the Council meeting outlining the proposal. Staff notified local hotel owners of this Council agenda item and presentation.

DISCUSSION:

Benefits
As a Jurisdiction Investing Partner, the MCCVB would assume coordination for the majority of the City’s tourism marketing effort. Staff believes it would be a beneficial step for the City because it would enable the City’s participation in a more extensive and high tech visitor promotion effort than the City could provide on its own or in partnership with just the other South Monterey County jurisdictions. It would be particularly effective in expanding and improving social media outreach.

Some of the key benefits outlined in the Letter of Intent include the following:
• Inclusion in MCCVB business development and marketing programs that target leisure, group and international travelers
• Destination page on Seemonterey.com
• Inclusion in advertising, co-op and advertorial opportunities offered to King City, including its points of interest and local businesses • Representation in media relations programs, including press releases, media visits, pitches and satellite media tours
• Amplification of King City and local businesses and events on MCCVB social networks and digital platforms
• Participation on MCCVB Board of Directors and Committees • Access to MCCVB expertise, data, research, images and videos, and community training programs
Fee Provisions
To become a Jurisdiction Investing Partner, the historical fee formula is equal to 3% of the City’s transient occupancy tax (TOT) annual revenues for smaller jurisdictions. It is 6% for the City of Monterey and the County due to the volume of visitor related product in those jurisdictions. Since King City’s TOT amount is much less than the peninsula jurisdictions, it appears the formula would be cost effective for the City, and MCCVB would provide proportionate programming benefiting to King City.

As a formal investing partner, King City would have voting representation on the MCCVB Board of Directors. This could be the Mayor, a councilmember, city staff or a hotel or attraction owner/operator. Representation occurs through their Nominating Committee and election process.

Tourism Improvement District (TID)
In addition to the City’s TOT financial participation, it is proposed King City and the other South Monterey County cities become part of the Monterey County Tourism Improvement District (MCTID). Roughly half of MCCVB revenues are derived from TOT and half from the MCTID.

The MCTID is managed by the Monterey County Tourism Improvement District Oversight Committee, which is an independent committee that shares members with the Board of Directors. There is deliberate crossover to ensure integrated planning and oversight, but the MCTID Oversight Committee is the sole controller of how the MCTID budget is spent. The MCVCB staff manages the budget and gains approval from both the Board and the MCTID Oversight Committee on an annual basis.

The current TID assessment structure is a flat-tiered formula based on lodging property service level: $1 per room night for limited-service hotels and $2 per room night for full-service. The difference is based on items like meeting space, a restaurant, room service, etc.. Therefore, King City hotels will likely be considered limited-service. This assessment is passed through to the overnight visitor. The process is administered through the City of Monterey.

The MCTID Oversight Committee is working with MCCVB staff on a renewal targeted to begin July 1, 2023. The formula may change and increase to a degree. Monterey County’s TID is nearly the lowest in the entire state.

A weighted vote by rooms will be taken of hotel establishments within the boundaries of the MCTID. King City hotels will be added to the MCTID if a majority vote is received from the countrywide vote, including all the South Monterey County cities.

Process
The partnership with MCCVB is proposed to be formalized starting July 1, 2023.

There would be no TOT investment nor TID assessment until then. The mayor could continue to participate as a Board advisor until that time.

To begin the process, the MCCVB has requested the City provide a non-binding letter of intent stating the City’s intention towards the partnership subject to later formal City Council action. If the City Council later votes to not participate after more input is received from the local hoteliers, there is nothing binding.
